One egregiously loud motorcycle rolling through manhattan can be a nuisance to literally millions of people. This is unreasonable and a ticketing system like this makes a ton of sense.

Police enforcement could probably solve the issue just as effectively. Cops ignore loud honking and loud cars when its right in front of them. If they would just stop ignoring such things the frequency would surely go down as well.
So if someone I don't like is taking an exam, I just need to join the same Wi-Fi network and visit one of those sites, and then they'll get expelled for cheating?
Oh my god, how can I get two of these? I want one facing each way down the street.

I would love to somehow take the ticket money from people who deliberately make their cars obnoxious, and use it to help people with shitboxes fix their mufflers.

they killed a neighbor's pet, but were they punished by the law? that's insane. and it also should significantly lower the threshold to having them in trouble as assholes again.
What I find interesting is how historiography works. Babbage is widely cited as a major or even the primary originator of programmable digital computers. What I haven’t been able to get great information about is to what extent there was actually a continuous chain of influence, and to what extent we retroactively recognize that he had the ideas early. Did Turing know about Babbage? Did the ENIAC designers?
Has anyone else noticed how data oriented design has became more common in the past years? At least it's my perception.

For anyone interested on similar patterns on performance or good memory access practices. I highly recommend this recent talk by Andrew Kelly on data oriented design. It's one (if not the best) talk about the topic.

> The attitude of "there are no rules!"

GP didn't say there are no rules.

“The rules are culturally, and path, dependent and are not derived or derivable from a simple set of universal first principles” is very far from “there are no rules”.

It does mean that certain approaches to learning the rules that might fit well with people's abstract preferences for how they’d like to approach the field don't work well in practice, though.

A certain $2tn+ company can't manage to pull that off and actually has different interfaces for each platform. We're making some big assumption that responsive interfaces actually work and don't push poor compromises on all users at the end of the day.

This is another UX death march like flat interfaces without cues and mystery meat.

I get where you are coming from. However with their cloud offering you get to forget about some of the not easy parts of Temporal and just build something awesome while benefiting from all that temporal has to offer :)
I worked on AR at one of the FAANGs. Game developers as far as the eye could see. It’s definitely a transferable skill set. Any job that hires you because you can be productive in some particular obscure stack (like AWS) is going to be boring grunt work. The interesting roles want people that can think outside the box, design, and then implement entirely new things that don’t yet exist.
It's easy to draw a shape with 3 (triangle), 4 (square), 5 (pentagon or star shape), 6 (2 overlapping triangles), 8 (2 overlapping squares), 9 (3 overlapping triangles), and 10 (2 overlapping pentagons) sides; but a seven sided shape? Screw that.
But loud pipes save lives! /s

We have a similar problem. Replace "motorcycle" with "bro-dozer" and make it 4am.

Noise sucks. And since the pandemic lockdowns have lifted, it's even more abrasive. Those few months of relative quiet were marvelous. Where I live, it's a lot of tire noise from a highway over a mile away - just a constant background "brrrrrr" that I didn't notice before and can't ignore today.
This is why we still need html/css for interfaces, so the PWA with wasm still seems to be the best way to distribute an app that works anywhere, or PWA for mobile and electron for desktop with wasm enabling very high performance client features.

One of the features of this proposal is to sandbox advertising SDKs into separate binaries submitted to the app store, which run in a separate process (one instance per app without app-to-app communication allowed) with its own permissions, storage space, and which is only allowed to execute code from the apk. So that would help.

I work on a lot of bigger data-oriented projects so having more RAM is essential.
Obviously I disagree, and I find it strange that you tried so hard to distance yourself from anti-vaxxers and freedom convoy members in your earlier comment when it seems clear that you agree with them.
Hey, I'm Ryland and I work at Temporal.

Temporal provides a unified backend for automatically managing implicit application state that is normally stored in transient queues, databases etc. Furthermore, Temporal does this without explicitly requiring the developer to think about and manage the state themselves. This means developers spend way more time building stuff that actually matters, and less time writing buggy reliability code.

I personally find the best way to explain it is with an analogy. Back in the late 90s many developers built applications with C and therefore had to manage their own memory. For a long time, this was not wasted effort as it was the only real option. But then, Java came around and offered an experience where developers didn't have to manage their memory. And for the majority of apps, the performance and capabilities of Java were more than sufficient. At this point, writing the average application in C meant you were doing a serious amount of undifferentiated work. Furthermore, most developers weren't that great at memory management so choosing to do it by hand meant more work for a worse result.

The value proposition of Temporal is nearly identical, but instead of manually managing memory with C, developers are manually managing state using queues, CRON services, databases and more. The result is a bunch of time spent doing undifferentiated things that a computer would have done better anyway.
You forgot it's not just a handshake. It's often a shoulder touch or a tug or a really hard hand squeeze to assert dominance or whatever other nonsense they read in their book on how to be a creepy con artist.

You don’t need the official corporate record to file a complaint, you just need enough info that someone else can look it up. If you get food poisoning, you just tell the city the name and address of the restaurant. They take care of figuring out who is legally responsible.

Of course you don’t have to go to a restaurant; you can buy burritos from a guy in an unmarked van by the river. But we understand that in doing so, we’re taking on more risk than going to a restaurant in a storefront.

That was the idea behind OV and EV certs: give businesses a tool by which they could overtly make themselves more accountable to consequences. Like leasing space and opening a storefront.

Yes, but as I mentioned the high power support electronics won't last that long. Unless you want to use them as shelter, they are unlikely to be functional.

As far as efficiency I roughly agree. There's likely to be a 15-20% drop per 20 years so I think they'll still be 8-10% conversion efficient assuming they are clean and unbroken.
They're abstaining from ticketing and fining. From doing anything, in most cases. Making this about purely "arrests" is playing coy, but notwithstanding, if offenders persist they can be arrested.
Oh yeah that's true. Probably hard to do that on the moon though :)
Work on your nutritional status and check for hidden mold in your home. Anecdotally, I've seen that help.
Yes, although the dining area is often part of a largely open common area that includes the kitchen and living room.

My brother recently rebuilt a house in Maine and largely went with an open floor plan with relatively modestly-sized bedrooms and bathrooms. It makes pretty efficient use of space. The downside is that if someone want to have their own space, they pretty much have to go outside or retreat to their bedroom.

My house is fairly standard 200 year old New England Cape (though some of it isn't original). I've largely opened up the downstairs to be a common space that I use heavily. Upstairs are four fairly small bedrooms and one small bathroom. It's fine for myself and guests. But even with just two people, there's really only one spare room which I tend to use for staging trips and various hobby stuff I don't want to clutter my office.

I'd add that for a lot of people, one small bathroom would be a deal-breaker although shared bathrooms were considered the norm a few decades ago.

/dev/null: Anti-Cheat Kernel Driver (2020)
In comparison to yarn 1, my experience of pnpm is basically that it's even quicker (because it's mainly just linking), and significantly more intuitive. My mental model of the node modules directory is that it's all of the direct dependencies of my project, with each of those dependencies having its dependencies in nested node modules directories. Practically, that's not true any more because of deduping, which does solve a lot of problems, but makes that mental model a lot more complex.

In pnpm, though, it just works like that, but without most of the problems because, rather than a deep nested directory structure, it's just your direct dependencies symlinked from a truly flat store into the right places, with their dependencies symlinked again from the same shared store.

I haven't tried yarn 2 as much yet, which I think is a similar attempt to solve the problems inherent to node modules, just in a more complex way. My intuition and initial experiences are that it feels more brittle than pnpm, which already has some problems if a dependency relies too much on the deduped structure that npm provides.
The Right-To-Left Override (U+202E) does not obscure nor overwrite existing characters. It is an instruction to switch the text direction to right-to-left like for Arabic and Hebrew.

Ahhh yes, the "for my cause and values it's OK and worth it, but for yours, not so much".

Even in this example alone you neglected to consider the number of trucks that are used to tow something. Say you need (or want!) to tow a heavy trailer once a month or every other month. Should you buy one vehicle that can do this, and then use it to commute 90% of the time, or should you buy two vehicles, and let one sit around unused most of the time?

Now what about the person that needs to haul some things? Surely a small trailer + SUV is superior to a truck? Not so fast: gotta store that trailer and be comfortable with it. My guess is for 95% of people, a truck for utility purposes is far superior.

Finally, newer trucks are actually surprisingly efficient. I just got 22mpg 360 miles round trip in my full ton pickup truck. Been shopping for minivans, aside from the rare hybrid minivan, they only get around 26mpg on highway.
If you're in the key of C, then yes. But in any other key it doesn't work nearly as nice so every chord you have to learn many times over. Of course once you have that time invested it becomes a barrier to entry for others so there is all kinds of inertia at work there.

But have a look at the Janko and other cromatic keyboards to see what the alternatives could look like and how nice it is to have all version of a chord playable with the same fingering.

Yup, good callout. There's definitely tweaks I could make to get a better "feel".

For some background, I have a state machine for the animations and I've set up some to be interruptible starting on certain animations, and in this case, I the "turn around" animation has to play out completely before I allow new directions from the "director". (I call the characters on the screen "actors" and the source of directions "directors", which can be a human or AI.) Anyway, the fun was in coming up with the engine, of course. :)
> what just looks like more subsidies for private energy companies

I don't think there's a future where "energy policy" (a euphemism for subsidies/lobbying/permitting) ceases to exist.

If nuclear power is the least-worst of the industry trade groups, it should count for something.

However, it might behoove us to consider the wisdom in allowing the whims of "energy policy" to vaporize twenty-year, $10 billion infrastructure projects.
Thought that it was interesting that this is a centralized platform, especially considering the coalition of companies. This type of use case has been a typical example of something that a blockchain based solution could be applicable.
Except how much someone is willing to pay for something depends on, among other things, prevailing market prices, which are influenced by marginal costs.

I may be happy to buy a house for anything less than 200k but if all houses are selling for 100k, then that (or something like it) will be the amount I am actually willing to pay.

If construction costs rise and now builders are only selling houses for 150k, I will now be willing to pay that price.

When working with monad transformers, I tend to stick to constraining functionality over unspecified monad. This essentially acts as a set (of constraints), which results in all the set-based woes that arise when effects are used. So not monad transformers themselves per se, you're right.

>The price (of anything) is determined by one thing alone: how much someone is willing to pay for it.

Which, as a catch-all condition, is next to useless to examing why the price of something is what it is.

The question then moves to the next turtle: why are people willing to pay X for a house in area Y.

>The cost of building is not relevant in any way to that.

Well, that's not true. In a place were land is plentiful and cheap, the price to get a house is dominated by the cost of building. Doesn't matter if there's an existing house that someone is willing to pay 100 for it. If people can trivially buy land and build for 20, that would be the cost to own a house in the area (note: a house, not THAT particular house).

Because it turns out to be a colossally chatty and stateful protocol in an era of stateless mobile devices. Plus it's not HTTP... the rule at the network layer these days is basically "80 and 443 are open; every other port is good-luck-to-you."

OP's assertions it was more reliable are assuming a very static network. Modern protocols (Slack included) are far, far more reliable on a highly-unreliable transport layer.

Having more rooms and more division between them is part of why older houses feel bigger to me.

Modern ones also do some really stupid stuff with square footage. One house we owned had a massive master suite the size of the entire 2-car garage (it was over it) plus some more carved out for the bathroom, but without any dividing walls or doors (even the [large] bathroom was just an open, wide doorway entry, no closing doors). It was huge, but also not quite big enough to divide into multiple spaces with furniture and rugs or whatever without it looking and feeling weird. A kind of awkward fake-luxury size. And it was a front-back split with a living room in the lower part alongside the entryway, with a fireplace and big window... the layout of which made it almost impossible to set up actual living room furniture in a decent way, so we basically didn't use that entire room and used the basement instead.

The house could have been a solid 500 sqft smaller and felt just as large, with some tweaks to the design. Nearly every other house we've owned, aside from one very old one (by American standards-1910s construction), had similar issues with large areas being wasted for one reason or another, due to how they were designed.

I think the "open floor plan" trend is mostly to look impressive in photos and to get that "wow" factor when you first walk in. In practice, as commonly realized at least, it's terribly wasteful of space and makes houses feel smaller, because it's harder to get a wall between you and someone else, than it is in older houses. Harder to furnish, and arrange furnishing properly, too (not enough wall space, more backs of things visible)

[EDIT] I'd actually liken the open-floorpan trend to the haphazard McMansion appearance of the outside of houses. One thing I've noticed looking at lots of houses over the years is that nice, big, older houses, or newer ones built with balanced and regular exterior layouts, tend to look smaller on the outside than they actually are—or, put differently, McMansion-style houses look much bigger than they actually are. They're loud, and deceptive. Open floor plans are like that for interior space.
