Perhaps not valid or invalid, but surely an opinion can vary in value to you personally, perhaps even in value to society.

An opinion from a stranger on the internet, is of fairly low value, because you can't determine what weight to put behind that individuals opinion. You don't know if they've been thinking about this problem for months, or if they just clanged together an opinion right then and there, or if their opinion was fed to them via some youtuber they watch, or any other number of ways people come to an opinion.

Whereas with books and even people within your community, it's usually a lot easier to discern or research whether or not their opinion was derived from great thought, facts and experience. I will value the opinions in a book about engineering from the chief mechanic of an F1 team for example, there's reason to think they've given the topic a great deal of attention.
Except this is not an issue and, in any case, not the issue here.

Number of cars on the road depends on population at this point an on the housing model. We don't build "more and more roads" just to accommodate an infinitely growing number of cars. This is a mature market, no the 1950s or 1960s. If areas are deemed too congested there are already ways to limit congestion.

No, this is a tax income problem caused by EV but they are taking the 'opportunity' to bamboozle us into thinking that trackers and dynamic pricing is required and that there is no alternative.
I'm a bit late to this conversation but I wanted to drop in and support this comment. I live in North Carolina and have personally seen dozens of adolescent American Chestnut trees in the Appalachians in the western part of the state. They love the high ridge lines out there. Most of the chestnuts I've seen look like shrubs due to how they develop and can easily be missed of you're not looking carefully for them. From what I've read elsewhere most American Chestnuts only make it to 5-10 years old before the blight gets them. I've only seen a couple of trees taller than 10-15' tall in the wild (and have seen several infected with the blight).

The American Chestnut is "functionally extinct", because despite the fact that they are somewhat prominent throughout their native habitat as adolescents, they rarely (if ever) are able reach maturity and develop fruit (and therefore can't reproduce).

Here are a few pics of some adolescent chestnuts if anyone is curious:

Yes, I've talked to quite a few folks who've built their own solutions.

This looks great! Definitely looks useful and with no status quo solving it well right now.

I'd love to see what else people are using right now for this, and what the cons of that are compared to this - the real-time, team-based support chat use case, with included support ticket tracking. A combination of Slack shared channels and ticket/feature-request tracking that is.
> (for a english speaking and writing person that can pretty much do all work and hobby projects in ASCII)

Most people are not English-speaking/writing and expect “fancy” fonts to not be rendered in a crappy way. Also, the relative blurriness of your CRT alleviates some of the problem. The low-res, mostly latin-only font-rendering world of thirty years ago was certainly simpler.
I agree that there's a difference between learning and understanding, in a similar vein I wrote my own 3D renderer and really understood matrix multiplication.

But say you and I were in the same class, but only one was allowed to pass, even though we both now understand how things work. One of us has to take it again or change paths for no reason.
>If you, a consumer, are making the decision then it's not censorship. If some company, government, organization, school, etc is making the decision then it is censorship.

That seems too strong, what about curation or editorial discretion? The NYT deciding not to publish my op-ed screed about the lizard people isn't censorship, it's just how you run a good news agency.
"Every child should have a dog. It teaches them about responsibility, fidelity, unconditional love and also to turn around three times before you lie down".
My anecdotal evidence shows it being mostly small cars like civics, darts, etc that have the fender damage. Most of the muscle cars I see are very well taken care of. Also, when I used to drive a muscle car, the people acting like idiots wanting to road race were always in small stuff like an RSX, Golf, etc.

Most car guys love their cars and are well aware of the power and dynamics that can destroy it (or have it seized). But that's just my experience.

"Are car manufacturers, knowingly or not, selling a reckless lifestyle?"

If they are, it's across the board. Any vehicle can be dangerous - civics, F150s, mustangs, minivans, etc. Many people don't understand vehicle limits, dynamics, and their own limitations. A lot of this is because people have rarely experienced situations that would require, for lack of a better word, extreme actions. Things like autocross can give people some understanding of these, provided they aren't the personality that would use it to create false confidence.
> Phones are not designed for continuous power draw (and consequent heat dissipation) - contant-use power dissipation limits are very low.

Maybe someone here can help me understand how power draw works on Android.

I have a ZTE Z959, a Cricket device. I use the phone to take photos with Open Camera every few seconds and stitch them together to make a video with ffmpeg. (Someone told me that YouTube has no practical limit on storage and I wanted to prove that they will cap me at some point but that is a topic for another day. Basically, the tl;dr here is for my casual use, YouTube has unlimited storage).

But I digress. The point is at some point the phone's battery started swelling up which became a fire hazard. I wanted to power the phone without battery. I have a Thinkpad 65W USB type-C charger. The first challenge was easy to work around. The phone just goes on a boot loop but if I add the battery and plug in the charger, the phone boots up ok. After the phone boots, I can remove the battery and the phone stays on (provided I don't do things like use flash, my guess is flash needs more power than my charger can provide.

Can someone shed more light into this process? How does all of this work? Does all of this mean my phone is technically running from battery even when it is connected to the wall?
I think paragraph (5) of https://www.creative-tim.com/license?ref=iradesign-footer applies here "There can be different components in some of our Items that can have a separate License from this one, and other license terms may apply to that specific component.

What I think is happening,

SpaceX is already developing starship. Regardless of that NASA or anyone else wants they will try to make it happen for their own purposes. As part of that program there will have to be a lot of test flights. SpaceX will need to prove they can do things that NASA did decades ago like space walks.

Issacman has a lot of money and wants to be an astronaut. He is willing and able to pay SpaceX for flights. Since he has already been trained and flown in space he is also a conveniently available and willing commercial astronaut that they dont have to pay.

On top of that he brings the partnership with Saint Jude which is always good PR. Especially when people are being

So Issacman gets his dream of being an astronaut, SpaceX gets some good PR out of something they were going to do anyways. And Saint Jude gets some donations.

> why education at all?

It seems I addressed that in my post?

> Would you apply your same approach/attitude to elementary school education? At what point is it that we shift the burden to learn to the student?

I'd say the ideal is that a person is a curious self-starter throughout their life. But we have to differentiate between different degrees ( as in `levels') of education. I think that everyone needs some fundamental understanding of the the world (history, physics), needs to be able to read and calculate simple things.

And there are indeed schools who do it from an early age, like Montessori, in which students essentially pick their own projects.

Also, we do give up on educating a large segment of the population eventually: not everyone has a PhD. But we're not worse off as a society, because the returns are diminishing quite a bit.
I wish it came with the OS from the https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrainPad_TiPO but it doesn't.
Also, Canada conquered Washington State in 2014, has been sponsoring a violent separatist movement in Vermont since 2014, and is openly massing troops near the rest of US border.

Yes, maybe the world would distrust Canada and think of them as filthy lying warmongering scumbags who need to be dealt with the hard way, if all of this was the case.

To me NH is strictly a source for technological/programming news. I do not comment on them, because I do not care what others(or bots) think, but my interest is about learning from that topic as much as possible, without noise.

Anything else is free game. Also, I want to create a bot, that would act like me and piss off others - as many as possible, so I do not have to do it by myself(this is a self-deprecating sarcastic joke). Or probably not - I get bored very quickly and would find more interesting things to do.

The issue with covid is disturbing in many levels. Apparently this is something that government(s) have decided that discussions and even constructive criticism is sabotage of government(and they decided to do something about covid, because not doing anything would be worse - for government and bureaucracy - not for individual people, who in majority survive through covid). So, there are no equal tribal opinions in first place - only "extremists-terrorists" that are in opposition to government VS religious patriots, who feel comfortable, that they do not need to think for themselves and somebody else is taking care of them and for them. So, quite logically NH can't be in opposition in this religious-patriotic fervour. And this is a stark reminder, that you and only you have to think for yourself(and not government) - because that is what your brains are for.

"An english speaking person able to work entirely in ASCII" is a single use case that still leads to that complexity: we have emojis because people started drawing things with ascii characters. More recently, we have fonts for coding allowing for ligatures, and they're popular among a significant number of your fellow english speakers who could work entirely in ASCII.

Even then, much of the complexity outlined in the article still appears when you consider variable width fonts--really, your use case is english user, using only ASCII in a monospaced font. Variable width fonts need kerning, and to accommodate changes in glyph size based on italic or bold variations. Also, English has ligatures like æ, so if you want to deal with older English texts you need them.

And then what do you do if you're working in English but need to discuss other languages, even just common European ones with accents?

So your use case is now english ASCII monospace user working who's basically just programming with their editor, and this is a very, very narrow use case considering the rest of English speaking/writing users who want to use computers in their own lives.

Now multiply all the complexity I've sketched out for every language on Earth spoken/written by some community that would also like to use computers.
You’re making a good point that’s usually ignored outside of genomics. Inside genomics, alignment is treated, correctly, as a probabilistic rather than deterministic process (i.e., an alignment is not “right” or “wrong”) and many choose to consider multiple alignments.

Tractors do use the road and as large and heavy vehicles I imagine they do a disproportionate amount of damage. I think tractors are just considered more essential so low fuel tax can be considered a subsidy of sorts.
Indeed!

"He works in a very boring building. It basically never gets robbed. He sits in his security guard booth doing the crossword. Every so often, there’s a noise, and he checks to see if it’s robbers, or just the wind.

It’s the wind. It is always the wind. It’s never robbers. Nobody wants to rob the Pillow Mart in Topeka, Ohio. If a building on average gets robbed once every decade or two, he might go his entire career without ever encountering a real robber.

At some point, he develops a useful heuristic: it he hears a noise, he might as well ignore it and keep on crossing words: it’s just the wind, bro.

This heuristic is right 99.9% of the time, which is pretty good as heuristics go. It saves him a lot of trouble.

The only problem is: he now provides literally no value. He’s excluded by fiat the possibility of ever being useful in any way. He could be losslessly replaced by a rock with the words “THERE ARE NO ROBBERS” on it."
Ah crap didn't realize I was dealing with a COVID denier. Nothing more to say here.

> Because right wing groups have very little cultural power at this point

Except at the state/local level, where they do, and where they end up creating very real harm by going on witch hunts for things like "critical race theory", or persistently trying to ban essential medical procedures.

The cultural zeitgeist leans left, because the left professes acceptance (earnestly or not). The establishment tends towards acceptance because it's economically prudent - commercial interests are fundamentally ambivalent about culture. But for example, plenty of the establishment plainly leans right - eg Fox news and talk radio.

However where the establishment has bona fide interests, it differs sharply from "the left" - wars, economic reform, corporate reform, surveillance - to the degree that it's patently nonsensical to say that the establishment overall "leans left". One of the most irritating traits of "the right" is they're overly focused on the kids-table topic of two-sided "culture war", and then pigeonhole everything that disagrees with them in the larger sphere as "the left".

From my perspective, the real battle line is libertarian-individual vs authoritarian-corporate. If the grassroots of both tribes could stop being distracted by the (establishment-manufactured) culture war bullshit, they'd see they have much more in common than not. For one example, the recent murder of Amir Locke is a straightforward 2nd amendment issue.
My wife was returning something from the store Dicks. She needed the receipt and knew it had been emailed to me. A quick check and I didn’t see any such email.

So in all seriousness, while I’m at work on a open floor plain facing computer she asked me to search my spam folder for Dicks.
I'm a heavy user of retool. It has saved me a lot of dev time/money when creating internal tools for ops and marketing teams. I see you have put some effort into making nice UI for creating external apps - def one for me to explore.

“As long as you're open about your past and convictions”

100% this. We had someone who hid that he was previously gone to prison for robbing banks. He used his dad’s SSN and slipped through the cracks. He was terminated immediately when a girl who was mad at him called our company to let us know to get back at him.

You can’t know for sure if people will look past your history, but I can guarantee you don’t want to hide it and have them find out later or someone hold it over your head.

The place that is meant for you will be the one where you are accepted for who you are.

This does not sound like a proof heavy class, but this approach unfortunately does not work as well for more advanced classes. Especially for problems where you can lose points for not writing the proof like a mathematician would even if you get the steps right (there was one prof in the math department who would deduct points for inelegant but otherwise correct proofs)
That’s promising, and I like that it explicitly applies to large online platforms. That said,

> allow third parties to inter-operate with the gatekeeper’s own services in certain specific situations

With “certain specific situations” presumably they are trying to make it viable for a monopoly to innovate, but as is it’s open to interpretation and may just result in platforms innovating specifically to maintain monopoly and the double-market scenario where they sell to advertisers and only care about users insofar as their eyeballs don’t leave en masse.

IMO a good law would specifically aim to make it infeasible to operate as a double-sided market and pretend to offer a free product to the users while actually being supported by advertisers. I suspect this can only be achieved by an all-encompassing interoperation requirement (a.k.a. open API). In this document, however, “interoperability” seems to mean hardware and OS (?).
I think there is a major distinction between "we have a standard of expectations that roughly only 10% have managed to meet in the past" and "only the top 10% will pass". One pits student against standard, the other pits student against student. These create different environments and different levels of consistency in outcomes. Using the latter as a simple substitute for the former is a very disagreeable action.

Where are you walking around where a car might hit you though? Are there no sidewalks?

Infrastructure needs to be build around pedestrians and cyclists. The youtube channel "Not Just Bikes" shows how it can be done.

If the feeling is mutual then that’s completely fine. The only problem is when there’s a mismatch.

There might be people who get hurt when they find out that Peter, who they consider to be barely a friend, does in fact not consider them to be a best friend. But that sounds pathological.

Bayer can't display pixel art at 1:1, just like with bitmap fonts.
If you want crisp color, you need to be aware of the Bayer tiling, and ideally you'd want to do the inverse-debayering on the source-side of the display cable, because that way you can save 4x bandwidth (you can treat a Bayer panel like a High-DPI one while rendering, but Bayer-pixels need to match RGB source pixels for crisp results).

Do keep in mind that many TV panels are Bayer panels, as they tend to consume yuv420 or yuv422, if fed externally, which greatly reduces the bandwidth penalty of doing the 24bit to 8bit per-pixel color depth conversion in the display's panel-driver-GPU.

For text rendering there are some alternative subpixel layouts like Pentile in use for smartphones, but patents and software/hardware integration (software in this case including Freetype or whatever replacement is used) inhibit usage of these for general purpose desktop monitors. One large benefit of these tends to be their vertical/horizontal resolution being matched, allowing both portrait and landscape mode to be crisp. Also, less physical pixels to drive take less power to drive.
The super-long threads are a matter of forum policy. Some forums have a rule that everything about a single subject goes into one thread, which can then grow to be enormous, other forums encouraged more threads. But even with the hard to read megathreads, I think the downsides were easily compensated by the fact that the information would still be there a year later and even ten years later.

I've never liked voting systems on forums because they elevate popular content to the top, which is not necessarily the same as the best content. One of the major advantages of forums in my opinion is the opposite, that forums are a good place for niche discussions as well. Some obscure technical detail that only a few people are deeply interested in can be discussed well on a forum, better than on a platform with upvotes where it'd fail to get the critical mass of points. And of course sensible moderation is the cornerstone of any good forum.

The best system I've seen in online communities is a forum for discussion and a wiki for reference. For a while there, before most forums died but after the early wave of forums, there were quite a few communities that ran a forum together with a Mediawiki install. I still find it vastly superior even to well-maintained subreddits. Some subreddit communities have good wikis, but they're very feature-limited, and no matter how good a subreddit is the discussions suffer from the platform's focus on fast discussions and a terrible search.
It's undeniable that covid has caused hundreds of thousands of excess deaths in the US, and yet we still find people who find a way.
The fundamental pitch here is that Ukraine is Russian because the languages are similar and the countries shared some history (voluntarily or involuntarily). But that’s no more an argument than it is for Ireland to be part of the UK.

Ukrainians wanted out of that arrangement because Russia used the country as a colony for exploitation, not any kind of cultural equal
