It's a bit tricky because being properly subjective and trying to nail it with a quick internet take are at odds with each other, but here are some ideas.

- Pose is strange in terms of analog to the general evolutionary catalog of human poses; it's like the rider is delivering a tray of drinks. Leaning forward is also considered to have a conciliatory effect, as opposed to something more like the unconcerned cool effect.

- Stance is not dynamic (bicycle) or fluid (car/train riding)

- Static movement effect. The proportion of visible moving parts (size of wheels in proportion) to visible static human body parts is out of balance. Cars and most motorcycles are way better than this for example. And imagine if (armor concerns aside) an F-35 flew by, and you just saw the pilot laying there at full stretch under the canopy. It's a much different effect. In movies it's used for conveying vulnerability, e.g. stasis pods in Alien.

- High proportion, combined with no mass-thinning effect at extreme of height

- In general, this all goes against nature in a good way (that shouldn't work mechanically), but it also goes against nature in a bad way (humans look for natural looks to determine what's cool, so they give it a kind of fail)

With all that said I personally don't find the segway uncool, nor am I in line to own one...

The seamless transition between editing and interaction modes is still unparalleled.

There's basically no difference between using something and creating it. I recall this was a very empowering feeling on the original Mac when I was a child.
file this under reaction videos. he's reacting to the hype. this is no different than saying "the problem with YC" and only focusing on the last 5 batches.
I assume you mean ‘fatal’ dose. If not, please explain!
I think they don't consider that because it's a rail system. Re-arranging cars on route would require many junctions, and would probably slow down the whole system when they separate. It's also a different problem that they are solving with warehouse robots - goods need to be transported individually to destinations. Trains solve mass transport. And besides - autonomous rail robots would still be bound to a rail, and thus can't really plan any fancy avoidance or path finding that a warehouse robot could.
Operating systems could do a way better job in a million ways.

1. There's so little isolation between processes and very little support for saying something like "I'm a process, please don't fuck with me" - you can only say "I'm a process, don't let me fuck with others". That sucks. There's a bit of work here on Linux with memfd_secret and Windows has a Protected Process thing now that I don't know a ton about.

But basically there's no way as a process to prevent someone injecting into you.

2. Root and Admin are overly powerful as an abstraction. You get root and you're god. The Linux kernel has always treated root -> kernel escalation as a relatively small issue, which means root really is a dangerous thing to provide anyone. Protecting a process from another root process is extremely difficult.

Things are sort of getting better in some ways. Namespaces on Linux are really good - most software should be running in some kind of a namespace since it almost never has any business messing around with global resources like processes, files, etc. With the popularity of Docker things are moving to a bit more of a sane world, but that's more just luck - I don't think people moved to Docker for security but for sanity.

Basically, we went from one global address space to an address space per process, but we left absolutely everything else as global, and this is the result.
Not speaking for my employer, but the actual quote from GDPR is:

> The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.

Emphasis mine. This would not include the vast majority of automated bans. It's more meant as a way to prevent e.g. automated police action via algorithmic selection.
Dave Packard's Simple Rules for Getting Along with Others (2013)
Ultra rich people that hide their identities through anonymous bank entities. They are totally not the people that really rule the world rather than the politicians that most people think are in charge.

Its also one of the reasons that despite private planes being one of the biggest contributors to climate change nothing will ever be done about it. Those rich people love their freedom to hop around anywhere in the world at a moments notice.

Super cool project. I was thinking about doing something similar at one time but I was too lazy.
Didn't know that, but not surprised. When I got to play with Hypercard in elementary school, I drew houses and paths and put buttons on the paths to navigate between the screens, with some text to tell a very simple story (wish I still had it, but it's long gone. I only vaguely remember what a couple of screens looked like).

If I had more time with it maybe I might have been able to turn it into a proper game. Not on the same level as Myst, though, of course.
I initially thought that it had to be either/or and when I switched to beancount I was sorely missing then simple balance reports from ledger.

What I’ve been doing lately is just generating ledger-formatted ledger on the fly for this that I used ledger before, while still benefiting from the strict beancount format, balance assertions and such that ledger doesn’t have

Why "more of a lisp"? I guess it depends on your personal definition of what a lisp is. For example, I'm much more interested in Racket because my interest is computer science.
I'm either arguing with an 11 year old or someone willfully ignorant.

>so your simultaneous opposition to it is rather confusing.

No opposition to welfare. It should be more generous and more readily avaliable.

>you realize the middle and upper class are the ones paying for these tranfer payments to the poorer amongst us anyway.
Yes, note the and, if we were actually taxing the wealthy; it would be less of a subsidy.

Graduated benefits do not conflict with a minimum wage. Why do you believe all work must be paid?
The simple fact is that it takes a minimum amount to live in our Society. Jobs should pay that. I haven't seen a single coherent argument about sub minimum wage work, aside from; "It might make give someone the ability to learn a trade."

This is simultaneously ignorant and short-sighted. How would anyone benefit from learning a trade where people are working for a pittance to "learn" how to do the trade? They'll be shuffled out as soon as they start to earn too much. There are also multiple ways to learn trades without worrying about minimum wage, it's just a silly red-herring.

If there were a world where hiring people to learn well paying jobs made sense, you'd see scholarships or free programs setup to do this. Where are they? It doesn't make sense, from a corporate perspective. Sub-minimum wage would only ever exploit.
"It's important to not get stuck in old ways of thinking."

Great comment, but I think you mean stuck in new/urban ways of thinking.

It probably seems crazy to someone in a rural town that parents would spend all their time working to afford childcare so they don't have to interact with their own children.
The video of the manufacturing process is quite interesting. A lot of human labor is involved.
I wouldn't call it heartless, just a fact of life. I don't think the above comment meant that they are worthless or that people shouldn't be able to do it, only that you can't build a community around people who have no children beyond 1 generation. I don't get the jump to defensiveness, there are perfectly good reasons to not have them, and you need no reason at all, but one thing that will happen is that a community of the future won't include you or your descendants.

It's a normal problem that we face when we get out of college. From a foreigner POV though, it seems it's a bigger problem in the US than many other places. People here move a lot, it's common to go to college and meet people in one state, and get a job in another state. Also, friendships don't go as deep as in other cultures where perhaps the initial chit-chat is not as welcoming but getting to know someone truly builds reliable, long-lasting friendships.

In my opinion, big cities like NYC can make it better or worse even. They make it extra hard to build community as everyone is minding their own business and people come and go without any attachment to anyone, but on the upside there's a lot more people, so the odds are obviously better.
Would love to tweak something like this to detect parcel delivery vehicles in our neighborhood. Anyone know of such a project they can link to?
I also love Double Commander for its "synchronize" functionality. And the fact that I can't be arsed to use a text-based interface in a graphical environment. In terminals, of course, mc is the jam.
I started out with HyperCard and when I outgrew it, upgraded to REALbasic, a cross-platform Visual Basic clone (now Xojo). When I started college I switched to writing C++, which I perceived as a more "professional" language, but in doing so left the GUI behind and started producing almost exclusively command-line tools.

When I try to write a GUI app these days, I'm stunned by how much harder it seems. As an elementary school student I could churn out HyperCard stacks without being able to search Google, ask on StackOverflow, or watch a YouTube tutorial.

One of the things modern tools left behind is how the code and UI were bound together. In HyperCard or REALbasic, the code for what a button does is "inside" the button, so if you want to know how it works or modify its behavior, you just "open it up" it in the editor. Stringing together IBActions or attaching event handlers to DOM elements may be a more general solution, but most of the time the distance it introduces between the button and its effect is just extra cognitive overhead.

Couple years ago I wrote a blog post about how LiveCode is a modern day HyperCard:

https://andregarzia.com/2019/07/livecode-is-a-modern-day-hyp...

I still believe that people who enjoy HyperCard or want to experience something similar but with current day comforts should check HyperCard out.

Oh, while I wrote that post I was working for LiveCode but I'm no longer with them. Still like them a lot though.
I would do this more, but I've found guest checkout makes checking the order status / history (understandably) less convenient.

I do use guest checkout on sites I don't think I'll order from again or at least infrequently.

So yes, to your point "There's a good reason it's free".
Even television and entertainment play a huge part. They introduce and normalize issues, and in that way shift the borders of the overton window.

Any industry has a competitive advantage internationally when your government is subsidizing it going out and imposing tariffs coming in.

As soon as the US industry is destroyed, the other countries remove subsidies and prices rise and we can do nothing about it.

Again, there are no easy answers. Either we subsidize farmers and pay more in taxes or we impose tariffs to level the playing field. Either way, we pay more than we should.

YNAB (https://www.youneedabudget.com/) was the trick for us-- while I am totally comfortable with these kind of tools or even just a spreadsheet, the app and functionality from YNAB made it accessible to my significant other. We also like the "envelope" method for budgeting, so this made it a natural fit. I recommend everyone at least try it if they're not budgeting already.

(If this is what you meant by family finances-- as others have pointed out, there's a difference between budgeting and accounting. YNAB has met all of my family's needs in the financial realm.)

The fact that all parties are allowed to associate with whomever they want does not determine whether Young is engaging in attempted censorship.

If the Catholic Church organized a boycott of Amazon unless decided to de-platform controversial authors that is a clear example of censorship.
I can think of numerous political/social/business reasons for this to go wrong, but can't really think of any way in which this isn't more efficient than the status quo and so seems inevitable on some timescale.

Before, long train that has to move as one unit. After, long train that can optionally split and recombine at will with other long trains coming and going from different places.
> If historically strength means conquest and domination, weakness must mean being conquered and dominated yes?

No politician or populist ever promised to "build the nation of weak people". That just does not exists.

> "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".. this is observably true throughout history no?

Not really, no. That is expression of spefic ideology in which might is right and no other moral values apply. It is not accurate description of human behavior in either large or small scale. It happens with ideologies like Nazism, sure, but they are not all that ever existed.

> Exactly. Then what is the appeal of not-strong values? How are these to be sold to people that don't want to be run over by the strong?

There is no such thing as someone promoting "not-strong values". Such rhetorical point does not happen to be used

You are confusing propaganda and euphemism with real thing. The "strong values" is slogan, euphemism or propaganda, take your pick. Nothing to do with actual strength or actual values.

> Does being opposed to diversity enable your nation to be the conqueror or the conquered? "in that context"... the context to which you agree is historically true?

Neither of those. Simple, the political groups being opposed to diversity are the ones who currently happen to be close to movements that in fact want to dominate other nations or races.

It does not have to be like that, other combinations could happen. But currently, things are aligned this way.

The first book I bought for programming was C Programming Language. Freshman year, 2004, for EECS 10 at UCI. To my delight, it remains part of the curriculum of the course, 17 years later with the same instructor too:

I agree, while 'lock data not code' sounds good(that's what Rust does I think), container is a different story, it's by design mutable and unfit to lock as a data structure, container is not a pure data structure, it's a ADT that really works with data structure and its methods(algorithms) hands in hands, hard to split by any lock.
I think reading the part where they say "I don't know how well it fits the GDPR language" would answer your question.
Perhaps that’s true in some places of the places you list, but I can barely think of a European city that does _not_ have nature within an hour drive.

Or, for that matter and east coast city. Even New York City has plenty of nature within an hour (the Ramapo mountains in one direction, plenty in most others too).
Once you add parallelism to your transaction processing, all manner of untoward things can happen. For example, two parent processes may attempt to execute the same transaction to acquire the same resources at the same time, having failed to exchange messages to ensure their internal household state is fully synchronized. And sometimes child processes will fail to acquire permissions but silently commit transactions anyway!

That's not an issue. This is a binary operator not a unary one.
Switched to beancount from ledger a few months ago and I’m really enjoying the strict syntax of beancount. The cool thing though is that I really didn’t lose any of my reporting flows that I had with (h)ledger… I just made scripts that convert the beancount journal on the fly, run whatever I was used to with hledger, and then delete the temporary file.

I feel like I’m getting the best of both worlds :)
It's a plausible question. But to show that you'd have to demonstrate that Northerners were not only less hostile to non-white people (especially Black and Native residents) than was common in America, but also equally hostile to their neighbors from other European countries. Given the high levels of immigration, the US definitely had intra-white hostility between different European ethnic and linguistic groups. But I have seen no evidence that was nearly as bad as anti-Black sentiment or action.

So I think "Northerners were quite racist" is a pretty reasonable statement from the historical evidence. Tribal too, as that's a common human characteristic. But when you look at things like America's ethnic cleansing and de-facto segregation, let alone chattel slaver, it's pretty clear there's something more going on than garden-variety cooperative healthy child-rearing.
I work on several systems where windows is poorly supported. In general it's because everything else is POSIX(ish).

Even though I use windows as my OS, I do most of my coding in WSL, so I still don't need a true windows version of things I work on.

True windows support in my experience usually requires paying someone (unless you are doing something graphical, where Windows often is the best choice).
Towns suffering from depopulation to such a degree that they've decided to give part of it away just to have neighbors to do business with are probably welcoming of outsiders to the point of desperation.
