Twitter doesn't even let you click links to other Twitter pages, it redirects you back to the original link you followed.

Twitter is 15 years old. You can't except them to remain unchanged forever. Priorities change, people change, goals change. Didn't they change CEO some time ago? Then the latest change might be even something from the new managment.
I also think the bridge is pretty high up, I'd say around 40-50 feet high.

Thankfully below it was a nature trail. Could have been worse if it was one of the bridges over the rivers or highways.
This may sound strange to foreign ears, but I kinda like the ramshackle nature of local politics in Anglo systems. It feels more Bilbo Baggins. So long as the courts stay honest we can weather these minor outrages that crop up every so often.
I read the title and had a vision of a "community" built in a mail - where you would walk out of your apartment and be able to visit your local coffee bar, diner, park, grocery store, etc all within a mall. That sounded fabulous and something I would be interested in. The article left me disappointed, not much happening along those lines.

You're assuming that people with accounts don't care if people without accounts can't read their tweets (and can't read them anonymously), and that for some reason reading Twitter doesn't count as "using" it. Do they not show any ads if you're not logged in?
Unicode, and its encoding in utf-8 are fine. Being able to parse every character of every written language, including symbols, using the same logic, was one of the best things that happened to computing.
I've noticed that a large chunk of the people who reject caring about Unicode support are those who never have to deal with the consequences of forcing ASCII and English/Western ideals on everyone.

That was certainly true in 2005, when JS was used more to impress the audience. The modern internet is mostly useless if you do not have JS running. I would imagine you have to turn it on and off all the time because you can't do simple things, like log in.
It really is sustainable, though. This take has been going around for some time and I think it is pretty wrong headed.

It looked like light traffic on a morning commute. Unfortunate a bus was on there. But during rush hour, traffic is fully backed up there and stacked on the road. It could have easily been 30-40 cars + a bus instead of what was there.
Emoji was originally added because of Unicode's mission. It wasn't some rando who thought, "we should put a smiley face emoji". It was because Japanese phones used JIS encodings that had them in it.
The only ads I have ever heard are sponsored ads spots within the podcast itself (that you can fast forward through), never spotify ads. Is that what you're talking about?

They try hard to make it sound like a sponsor spot. If the voice changes, that's another clue, but sometimes the advertiser will pay the host to read a new ad.

What's backward isn't the statement, which is perfectly common sense, it's that judicial system.
I think your technique of keeping the door ajar even just two or three seconds is a better idea than this convoluted Dutch reach. It gives any cyclist information that a door is opening.

But as I’ve said, if everyone just uses their mirrors it’s unnecessary because you will know there are no cyclists coming.

Another point that is missed is why don’t cyclists ride in the middle of the street and/or slow down a bit. It is always astonishing to me how entitled and utterly recklessly cyclists ride around as if the supposed rights they have are some kind of divine protection. You’re the squishy human that has nothing protecting it, rider like it may kill your, because it can.

And did anyone else notice not a single person was wearing a helmet in the video? I’m not one to force people to wear helmets, but there again is that weird entitlement of cyclists. So now people have to do some convoluted reach because cyclists race past car doors without a helmet on. Have you ever seen cyclists in Dutch cities, they are simply stupid risk takers.
> When an accountant or firm is appointed under subsection (a) or (b), the board of auditors shall not audit, settle or adjust the accounts audited by the appointee but shall perform the other duties of the office.

If you can't audit any accounts then what would the "other duties of the office" be for a board of auditors?
Presumably if the number of genes cannot be pared down below 473, it dies very quickly if one of the 149 genes is knocked out. But "it doesn't work without it" is not a very satisfactory answer to "what does it do".

What you're talking about is called endemic corruption, which is the state's inability to enforce any policy (eg, speeding, or citizens ability to freely travel) due to the corruption of everybody who would need to action it.

On the other end of the scale you can imagine a paper democracy where all the top positions in government and state owned business are corruptly given to the leader's family, but everybody else follow the law, doesn't take bribes etc. It's still very corrupt, it's just a different kind of corruption.
How are those even remotely similar?

On one hand you have a company that has invested billions of dollars to develop a technology on the assumption that it will give them an advantage that will allow them to recoup their losses. Then someone steals it and they can't recoup because it's no longer an advantage. Yes, in this one instance it's a benefit to consumers, but it's clearly not a benefit to the people who worked hard to develop the technology or the investors that took on the risk of trying.

It feels like your next argument will be that patents shouldn't be enforceable because it's better for society that everyone have access to everything.

Some malls have housing attached.

Also around New England those new “outdoor malls” have housing and business space attached. Basically a real estate company owned neighborhood.

In order to deal with that in my personal projects and my personal space of my public projects, I keep a central Makefile, separate from any eventual build Makefile that the project may already have, which stores all the commands that I typically use in that directory.

This is not necessarily the best solution, as you have to name even very simple commands, but it's not so hard. What I wished was for bash to have two histories, a global history and a per directory history, so I can look at what commands are typically run in a directory. I hear it is easier to do in zsh, but I have no working solution.
Nah there is certainly a bug ! Pretty frustrating because I thought I am making a typo 3 times in a row on the same digit.
If infrastructure is federally maintained and a bridge in Pittsburgh collapses, voters in Alaska, California, or Texas aren't really going to care. Or at least not care enough to push their congresscritter to actually do something about it.

If Pittsburgh pays for its own infrastructure (or potentially if it's done at the state level) then voters are far more likely to care and to hold their elected representatives to task.

A separate reason is that a sizeable chunk of people want their tax money to mostly go towards supporting their own city/county/state. They don't want tax money from taxpayers in Mobile, Alabama funding bridges in Vancouver, Washington or vice versa.

Edit: Also if they were federally managed that would likely mean the feds giving that money for the states to manage, and that always comes with strings attached. See, for example, highway funding to states being dependent on raising the minimum drinking age to 21
I've worked at small and mega enterprise. I will pick small/medium over big anyday for how to do things the 'right' way. Enterprise doesn't care about the right way so much, too many policies and politics get in the way. Similarly you can also get a very 'just get it out the door' attitude at some very small companies.

However you can also find small/medium companies that understand that they need to ship, but also understand how to properly run things. There is a much greater chance of that happening at a small/medium company than any big company.

I think that analysis is flawed. Expensive is part of the experience. If the expensive experience is bringing in enough people it doesn't matter that a cheaper way to do it exists.
Compare the quality of people running for low-paid local political office to... basically any other vocation. It's a widely echoed sentiment because it is, more often than not, true.
Boy, that's implicitly a good question... when's the last time I "reversed" a string, on purpose, for something useful?

It took me a bit, but I think I have an answer. It's about 15 years ago. I didn't actually do the original design, but I perpetuated it and didn't remove it. We reversed domain name strings (which, given that they are a subset of ASCII, actually is a well-defined operation) so that the DB we're using, which supported efficient prefix lookups but not suffix lookups, could be used to efficiently query for all subdomains of a given domain, by reversing the domain and using that as the prefix.

I mean this as strong support for your point, not a contradictory "gotcha". I'm a big believer in not doing lots of work to save effort or make correct something you do less than once a decade, e.g., http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2954 . And it's not even a gotcha anyhow, because we aren't reversing a general string; we were reversing a string very tightly constrained to a subset of ASCII where the operation was fully well-defined. I can't think of when I ever reversed a general string.
Who cares? The point is that 8% of US taxpayer money goes outside the US. Why shouldn't I be upset about that, or at least question it?
This reminds me when learning to write papers in college my professor would help proof my paper. I Had clarity in my thoughts but it didn’t translate to paper. We would evaluate the paper line by like. I would often use the phrase “X is better than Y”. He would stop me and ask, “why is X better?”, and I would give a more precise meaning.

I like how the author applies the same idea to “clean”. Rather than just blankety apply clean he suggested expounding on the reason why it’s cleaner.

Same, but then again we were taught to be very cautious while exiting the car. I think you can even flunk your entire exam if you get out of the car without looking / being cautious. Plus this comes more natural to us as most of us are also cyclists.

> In 1926, Oskar Klein proposed that the fourth spatial dimension is curled up in a circle of a very small radius, so that a particle moving a short distance along that axis would return to where it began. The distance a particle can travel before reaching its initial position is said to be the size of the dimension.

I've read many times that the shape of the universe could be a loop i.e if you traveled in one direction, over a long period you could possible loop to your starting point.

From that pasted from Wikipedia, in a looped-shaped universe, would that be the size of the dimension of the universe you just traveled?
> Encrypted messaging has been a complete failure; there is no need to single out email.

Can you elaborate on why you see it this way? WhatsApp has been wildly successful, my very non-technical in-laws use Signal for their family's conversations, and other messaging platforms are jumping on the bandwagon.

As far as I can tell, if we lose encrypted messaging at this point, it will be due to government action or corporate rug-pulling, not because it failed to catch on. Whereas encrypted email really hasn't caught on anywhere.

What misinformation am I spreading? I think you are misunderstanding me.

I am not saying vaccines and masks have no benefit. Vaccines have a substantial personal benefit and a more marginal communal benefit.

Mask done perfectly have a decent personal and communal benefit. However, masks are not done perfectly and never will be.

The question is should we have mandates? Should we have vaccine mandates along the lines of “get the vaccine or get fired?” for marginal and waning communal benefit. If so should we extend this marginal logic to other marginally communally beneficial prevention measures? Eg. Protests are spreader events. These hurt the community. Attend a protest and you’re fired. I don’t think either is reasonable.

In regards to mask mandates we are forcing kids to wear masks at school but we are not mandating adults wear masks at restaurants, bars, movie theatres, concerts, football games etc. It doesn’t matter if the kids had perfect mask compliance (and they dont) the exposure to adults is everywhere. Also mask mandates do not impact behavior much. So why do we have them for students? I think it is mostly because adults want security theater and are used to telling kids to do something they themselves are unwilling to do.

I agree, but we have to deal with Chrome first, and then we can deal with Apple on this issue. The moment Safari stops being required on iOS, the web is dead as an open platform, and good luck getting it back.

Even spinning off Chrome might not be enough: Even if it's not Google, it'd still be the entire web platform controlled and implemented by one group.

The trials lasted long enough to gather the statistical evidence needed to show that the vaccine prevented the trial group from becoming infected (and that it was highly unlikely the trial group did better due to random chance). When that point was reached, the trial was deemed sufficient and was ended/unblinded. When people are dying by the thousands every day (in the USA alone), how much longer would you have wanted the trial to go on? We found out what we wanted to know. The vaccine worked. There's no need to carry on and ask the placebo group to continue with the risk of being infected.
