I haven't watched the video, but based off of the title "Pod train" the argument is probably along the lines of this:

There is a futuristic theme in logistics that envisions humans or cargo to be shipped in "pods". This is in contrast to the more efficient way of shipping humans or cargo in larger vehicles like trains or busses.

These pod-ideas inevitable run into some bottle-necks or have to make trade-offs that in the end give them so much lower efficiency than the "traditional" way which is already the (almost) optimal solution to a given problem.

Examples of this are various incarnations of hyperloop, that do not actually solve all real-world problems existing solutions have to deal with, but rather only a subset of them - but they are better at this subset plus they look fancy in their renderings.

This makes it so these impractical solutions get a lot of hype, and money is spent on prototypes, but there is a lot of hot air and little substance.
lol cash out by probably trying to hide it from exchanges and then pwned themselves in the process.

> Do you, as the website operator, have the right to copy and serve these fonts to your visitors?

All the fonts on Google Fonts are open source. When GDPR came into force in 2018 I downloaded all the fonts I needed, checked their licenses, and uploaded them on my servers along with necessary notices as required by the licenses.

The matter could also be sidestepped if the CDN were to offer a GDPR data processing agreement (DPA) and would make guarantees about the locations of servers. The free public CDNs understandably don't do this, and it seems Google Fonts is not covered by the Google Cloud DPA.
https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/blob/master/boot/base/src/m... looks like the gnu standard for C (https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Formatting), applied to Java.

I think that was done to make grepping for function definitions easier (when searching for the definition of foo, grep for “^foo\b”. That makes implementing “go to function definition” possible without having to parse code)
There still is the fact that you're getting fonts that are automatically subset into partial font files per character set, so if your pages mostly only use one or two character sets (like Latin and possibly Latin-extended), the browser only needs to download the font files for those particular character sets – at the same time you still retain the flexibility of using the full range of characters supported by that font if the occasion demands it, though.
(With Latin plus Greek plus Cyrillic and possibly some OpenType features like proper small caps you can get into the hundres of k range, and support for East Asian languages easily gets you into the megabyte range.)

Plus in theory fonts optimised for the respective combination of browser and OS. The former probably isn't as critical any more, as almost everything should support WOFF2 (or at the very least WOFF) these days, as for the latter – I know OSs each have their own font rendering peculiarities, but no idea how much the difference might be in practice.
Thanks for pointing out Stack Overflow’s subsequent updates.

They removed system-ui which, as you pointed out in the other comment, can cause problems for some OS languages:

@ff-sans:
-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, // San Francisco on macOS and iOS
"Segoe UI", // Windows
"Liberation Sans", // Linux
sans-serif; // The final fallback for rendering in sans-serif.
@ff-serif: Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
@ff-mono:
ui-monospace, // San Francisco Mono on macOS and iOS
"Cascadia Mono", "Segoe UI Mono", // Newer Windows monospace fonts that are optionally installed. Most likely to be rendered in Consolas
"Liberation Mono", // Linux
Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, // A few sensible system font choices
monospace; // The final fallback for rendering in monospace.

I find this very informal and lacking much rigor.
Maybe this very thing is what is already causing polarization? Many people are already trying to reduce wealth inequality. Maybe the upper classes are fighting back in a way that causes polarization.
Hard to do scapegoating when people's needs are met.
KaTeX does not support LaTeX commands like \label, \eqref, \notag, etc. As long as one does not need them, KaTeX is good. But if one needs them, MathJax becomes necessary.

I often do need these commands, especially while writing proofs, solutions, or long mathematical posts. See https://susam.net/blog/integrating-factor.html for an example. These commands make it convenient to refer to previous results using equation labels and numbers in long articles.

One can work around the missing support for these commands in KaTeX by writing their own HTML to simulate the same functionality but it is nice to have MathJax do this for us automatically.
Note we already use + as both binary and unary (and for both arithmetic and concatenation).
Wow, I can't believe I haven't heard of Homebank [1] before. This looks very much like what I've been wanting. Thank you for the recommendation.

Slightly off-topic, but I recently saw a very interesting dive into comparing Vulkan to D3D12:

How do you map KMU Konten to ledger accounts (can you rollup?), and do you automate VAT accounting?
I would note that there are centuries of political theory written on this topic with a famous document written in 1848. Unfortunately, most of this theory concludes that class war is required to create an equal society.
It is really pissing me off that "tubeless ready" wheels and "tubeless ready" tires have made it infinitely harder to just fit a tire with a good old tube inside.

Can anyone explain the appeal of arcades to me? It is expensive and games do not look really interesting.
>If I hold up a dagger and announce the fact, why would you run into the dagger anyway without protection? Put on some armor, dude.

Let's say I'm dumb, and I run into the dagger that you're holding. The case is then investigated by the law enforcement. Who do you think they'll blame? Would I be deemed guilty, and would my crime be not having armor on?
Hugo and others help with things like autogeneratings tags and sidebars, that sort of thing.
This does not scale economically when regular rail already has a difficult time being profitable.

Switzerland has the most dense rail network in the world and is 100% electrified. However even before the pandemic SBB cargo was in the red. To reach our climate goals we need to increase the amount of cargo on rail (currently around 46% of cargo is by rail). There is no way around it but they will need government funding to reach those goals.

Such gimmicks have extremely high costs. Each on of those needs maintenance. A regular cargo car is quite dumb and can take a lot of abuse.
There should be a protocol, in which voluntary individual participation is possible alongside identity brokers. This is one of those things that should have zero trust baked in at every level. It should require reversible data transactions, and real world mechanisms to allow legal authorities to reset or return ownership of ID information. It should work concurrently with a properly defined notion of valid, entirely offline identities to accommodate people who don't want their identity digitized.

Multi signature cryptography and webs of trust are pretty mature concepts at this point. Using public notary systems could provide the real world authentication to publish keys, so the protocols could be developed around the idea that additional bureacracy and government shouldn't be needed - use the systems already in place wherever possible.
The problem with coffee/caffenol as a developer is that you still need fixer, and while apparently salt works, it sounds hit and miss. So it's kind of hard to argue it as a sort of eco/cheap solution when you still need other chemicals. It's a curiosity/art developer more than anything else. Especially when you can buy very cheap concentrate like Rodinal (1:50+). Stop bath is less of an issue.

Rodinal is about £20 a litre which will dilute to work for at least 25-50 films (probably more if you're doing single roll tanks).

Well, yes. There's a number of politically-active billionaires funding all sorts of weird hyper-polarizing "news" sources. I put "news" in quotes because when sued for libel these "news" outlets use the defense of "nobody could possibly have believed this was true, it's just entertainment".

If a redistributionist looks like they will become popular they will get smeared into the ground.
Yes can confirm, in the USSR we had no political polarization.

Everyone was always satisfied with the ruling party all the time. It was great joy.
Honestly I’ve seen the opposite. Business leaders usually ignore data insights, and the pay that goes to the average data scientist or business intelligence engineer reflects that. Building an actual product, aka coding, is where the money is.
> the proprietary nature of both were ultimately their demise

Agree.

> I retain some hope that somebody will redo / updo this family of tools

Hard agree.

> on top of a cross-platform game engine like Unity.

Wait what? Wouldn't you want it to be implemented at the very least on something like Godot, which is open source?

Aside from that, I think we are in full agreement on this - though my dream would be something like this on uxn (because I love the concept of uxn, I don't know that it would actually be feasible to do so - I suspect it wouldn't.)
Agreed. C is a great starting point. It's a terrible continuing point though. Novice C programmers write seg-faulty code left and right, which is fine. That's not a problem; everything that's wrong is on the surface. In the mean time, they've learned how to implement a binary search tree or something, which is pretty cool when you do it in C. The intermediate two-star C programmer whose programs almost never segfault, that's the truly dangerous one. Precious few C programmers make it past that stage.
Does Google CDN not abide GDPR?
Yes, although it's not clear how widespread the practice is.

The sources for the Lisa's OS were also supposed to get donated to the CHM many years ago but have never materialized.
Interesting, I'd have assumed that LispWorks would be a much nicer development environment than CCL. Are you trying to save license fees, or do you actually find CCL nicer to work with?
“I grew up in Manchester, NH where the Segway was invented and went back there a few times when it was being test marketed.”

Same here!
No, ultra rich people hide their identities through a corporation, not a trust. When you purchase large capital items with a bank’s help, the ownership usually looks like that. If you finance the aircraft as an ultra rich person, the ownership will probably also look like that. It’s completely normal and is a large proportion of aircraft ownership structures. A double-digit percentage of pretty much all major carriers’ fleets are titled in this way. Just like your payoff quote with your bank, when an airline finishes paying, the title is transferred. This arrangement will explain all but one or two of the trustees that will appear on this camera for the entire time it exists.

So if your car is titled to a bank because you have a loan on it, would you say you’re ultra rich and hiding your identity? I’m with you on the rah-rah eat the rich vibe but at least make sure you’re shooting downrange.
I never implied that Windows Server is not significant. It would definitely have a lot significant deployments. The absolute number of deployments would also be quite large. But I can bet that this will pale in comparison with Linux. Think about it -- all major cloud providers use Linux as a building block to provide their services. Their clients probably use Linux for deployment too.

My objection was to the statement that "[SBCL] doesn't want to be a serious language, but rather a toy for academic types". And to that I implied that Windows is no longer as dominant in 2022 as it may have been, say, in 2000.
Nice site!

I'll also suggest an easy thing to add: You could add an explanation of folding tires vs wirebead tires. Often even tires with the same dimensions come with both formats. The difference and the benefits of each version (price vs weight and rolling resistance) are understandable for most people.
So the same action on the part of the website owner will be legal or illegal depending on whether or not the user has actively configured his browser?
Well, there's nothing said about controlling your kids, that's a different dilemma, but on an individual level, restricting websites for just yourself is the best way to go. It could be something like putting your phone in a timed lockbox for a few hours, or not buying cookies for the house so you don't randomly eat, or using the premium website blockers that can't be uninstalled. Every bit of media is carefully designed by the brightest minds to give you a small dopamine hit so you keep coming back. The best discipline is not needing to use your discipline. I'm on you with the habits, we live lives unconsciously most of the time so habits are absolutely crucial to ensuring we don't randomly end up scrolling Facebook for 3 hours and then wondering where the day went.
thats pretty funny but for anyone else that wants to learn about this stuff, proof of work blockchains use the same energy whether transactions occur or not

ironically this seemingly would actually bolster the argument against Proof of Work, but its probably more convenient that people are easily swayed towards inaccurate arguments
The worst case of this kind of designer hubris I've seen is Qualcomm's website, which includes a webfont that's completely pedestrian except that it makes every "Q" look like the Q in the company logo — which is actually a pretty poor stylistic fit for the rest of that font.
Needs will just increase to meet the threshold for scapegoating.

We are the richest and most prosperous humans to ever walk the earth. Scapegoating still exists.
It's not a contradiction. Speech that infringes on free speech is allowed under freedom of speech. Young can say what he wants. But we can call him a censor for it. He can call Rogan an idiot and a misinformation peddler--and that isn't censorship. Saying spotify should ban his podcast is censorship.
I wouldn't say so, especially because the in the shops I encountered, they explicitly state that "Payment will be handled by XY provider. You'll be redirected etc etc". That's not exactly using a resource from a third party in the background.
There's a web page with some more links here: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/fluidsimulation/
what did you use it for? and does it still work?
Apologies for not making this clear, I was definitely assuming a LIFO buffer would drop the oldest message when full, since dropping the newest message has the issue you describe. In that case, for a prolonged period of ingress slightly over egress, the buffer will contain the N most recently received messages that haven't been transmitted, which seems optimal, but _also_ will have no queueing-induced latency for new messages. If there's a gap in the incoming data stream, a LIFO buffer would emit the most-recent (and most likely to be useful) data first. Most importantly, there's now no performance drawback for making the buffer bigger, so tuning it is way less dependent on your expected operating environment.

One other optimization that would probably make sense in a practical implementation is a "max age" limit on things popped from the stack, so that an old message can't sit around for several seconds if the ingress rate happens to exactly matches egress. This limit can be fairly long though (~1s is fine), since it's just trying to approximate when a higher-level protocol would already have completed a full roundtrip and requested retransmit.
It's the original pay to play/win gaming model, back when arcades actually had people in them. Anyway arcade is a unique genre of games often characterized by more fast paced chaotic gameplay, "infinite" levels, extra focus on leaderboards, more eye-candy style of visual design akin to casinos, etc. It can be a pretty fun space
Yeah, we take downloads for granted these days but FTP sure freed up a lot of waste time compared to filling floppies (remember people juggling how to pack them since each one cost enough money to add up?) and delivering them, or, later, having burn a new CD with updates for a handful of files.
The study sounds like a crock of horseshit:

"In this model, we assume that a large population of individuals comprises two distinct identity groups. These identities are assumed fixed, and thus correspond to a fixed feature of identity such as race, religious heritage, or socioeconomic background. Although such identities are fixed in the model, the salience of the identity, and therefore its impact on behavior, varies."

The model assumes only two distinct and unchangeable identity groups, and assumes that these identity groups are solely based on a few specific unchangeable traits. And that's before you get into some of the wacky assumptions in their actual math model.

Also of note, they mention Charlottesville and the capitol riot as examples of political polarization, but make no mention of comparable events on the left like the BLM riots, the GOP baseball shooting, etc. Gives you a good idea of where the politics of the authors sit and suggests there may be motivated reasoning behind their arguments. "Solve political polarization by doing more of what the left has wanted to do for over a century!"
None of your examples are all, at the same time, immutable, public, or ledgers. The Georgian land thingie is the most interesting, but a Georgian judge could definitely order a change in ownership due to incorrect data entered into the ledger, so it's not immutable.
I really enjoy working like that as a developer, but it's sometimes difficult to find companies working like that.

The product owner is supposed to eliminate all developer/customer contact and know just the right solutions it seems like.
Hi Everyone,
I'm Shazeb and I made this pwnremote Jobs website to help people to find a job in CyberSecurity(Remote). I created it because I’ve seen many people including myself, Who want to apply jobs for the remote work, but if you google, there is not much results. That is why now I’ve created a dedicated place that is only focused on Cyber Security remote Jobs. Please give me a feedback and tell me what can i improve.

Thanks,
Shazeb
Thanks for the tip, I will look into it.
Game consoles are a tough racket. Tough business to be in.
Look at all the big companies accepting crypto in 2022: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin/who-accepts/

In 25 years, we can have a discussion of "Look it was obvious, all these big companies were accepting crypto in 2022".

Edit: my point is not that crypto succcess is obvious, my point is that internet success wasn't obvious.
The point is to make points in a simple environment.

Anything small enough to clearly make points about unsafe Rust is almost certainly small enough to be done in safe Rust, defeating the purpose.
> Importers have been great.

What importers do you mean? Are these importers you've written yourself, or existing importers you were able to reuse? What format are these importers pulling from (PDF statements, CSV, OFX, etc)?
I've been to that metro area, a long time ago. It is a beautiful place, in my opinion that region of the world is the most beautiful place on earth, and I've been to a few beautiful places worldwide. I have walked through an evergreen forest and seen whales spouting on the Puget sound all within a mile walk. If it weren't so damn expensive and urban in that area I'd live there in a heartbeat.

I'm not entirely talking about reserved places like parks. Cities have those, they're nice. What I mean is, in your immediate environment, outside of your door, the ground is paved, sprayed for mosquitoes (and consequently every other arthropod) with neurotoxins, it is built entirely for humans and yet somehow not ergonomic.

I live under a giant oak tree in an oak forest. There are multiple wild creatures living their lives within a 10 foot radius of where I'm sitting right now. I don't have to go to a designated outdoorsy place, it is my every day environment. That's something very valuable to me.
A far more informative document was written in 1894.

Can you elaborate more on why applications handle packet reordering badly? Is it just that applications are written to assume in-order packets are the "fast path" and need to use less optimized code when things come in out-of-order, or is there some other heuristics that assume packet reordering is rare that would misfire here?
Really? Access to the legal system doesn’t vary based on how pleb you are?
This will also happen if I place a link on my site that does not clearly warn the user that it leads to a non EU website. User clicks it, and his IP address gets disclosed.

Really, if you participate in the World Wide Web, of course your computer’s address will be visible to others, and you can not always control it. Like driving on the Autobahn. People will be able to see you. It’s part of life.
It's like the prisoners of Plato's cave. One could describe it to you but it's nothing like trying it. I would suggest you look for some videos or blog explaining it, or take a a week-end to try. The term REPL is here deceptive. You can load the whole compiler and the whole program in memory in a server accepting code changes and interact with them iteratively and have transparent incremental compilation when editing the code.
Anachronistically.

There is no seed. The seed concept was only invented years after Satoshi left. Early wallets had no seed. They were collections of random keys.
That’s why so much early coin is lost. No way to rederive random keys.

Sorry about your dreams of satoshis 12-24 words, but this is not how it was.
Very interesting! I've skimmed the paper and what the model seems to refer to is affective polarization (i.e. hatred towards the outgroup).

It gets much more complex when we begin to incorporate other forms (and potentially sources), such as elite, partisan, party and legislative polarization. As umvi mentioned, each of those may be a source or consequence of affective polarization. Or both at the same time!

We really need some long-term field experiments (or natural experiments), but this paper definitely seems like a good contribution regarding the dynamics (models of which often have been way too simple).
>it would probably be good to investigate alternative methods of reducing inequality as well.

The serfs will always outnumber the lords. It's just a matter of keeping them pacified to sufficient levels so that revolting isn't a serious concern.

As you've suggested, other things to keep the masses pacified can come in many forms other than direct payments of cash. Stop reducing spending on public schools, public transport. Stop tearing down low rent housing in order to gentrify it with new housing that the original residents can no longer afford. Eliminate food deserts in populated areas.

Just a few off the top of head
And when it fails to do so (and leaves behind a new mountain of skulls in the process), it "wasn't real communism" that time.
I am working on some tools to make LispWorks easier for Emacs users, watch this space in the next few months as I finalise it.

I tend to find LW users are very comfortable with their IDE, however coming from an Emacs World, I struggled a bit.

However once I get all my best parts of Emacs into LW, I will be very happy as it is written completely in CL and together with CAPI and the readily available source code for its Editor, it can do a lot more than Emacs for Lisp Development
