This is where local swap or friend groups come in - there's certainly value being "The Guy With A Truck" if you're regularly lending it to people you know who need to do their one monthly thing.

e.g. I have a small fiesta - that's (nearly) perfect for my general use case, which is me commuting on my own, maybe a friend or two going out for lunch or whatever.

But a friend down the road has a jeep, I borrow that for camping (when I'm not going with them anyway) - same with "bulk" costco trips, or stopping by a landscaping store for garden stuff.

That makes it easier for him to justify keeping the jeep, especially as I'm not the only person who regularly takes advantage of it, while keeping costs down (I pay in gas and beer, no rental corporation skimming profits off the top).
How about the pedestrians and people eating outside at restaurants? Or people in old houses with poor insulation and single paned windows?

However, I don’t like the idea of automatically ticketing people with technology devices alone despite the obnoxiously loud noise pollution from these vehicles. Police can easily hear these vehicles and pull them over for a violation.
I was extremely confused about the distance values in relation to the percentages until I read the help:

> The distances displayed correspond to the distances between the selected and the target territory centers.

> For instance, the computed distance between United States and Canada is around 2260km even if they have a common border.

That's extremely deceptive and non-obvious unless you read through the documentation. One of the appeals of Wordle is that it is an extremely intuitive game which doesn't require rule reading.
> Another way to touch a file: cp /dev/null file

That destroys a file, making it 0 bytes. It doesn't touch a file, not at all.
I think that we should do whatever pushes the edge of science forward quickest and ideally in a manner that doesn’t sink all of our resources on one area of focus.

If the way NASA does things isn’t the most effective way to do that, then that should be addressed. Long term (hundreds or thousands of years) as a species, we need to look to space.
This does not seem to address the pentagon issue though?
Otter Browser aims to bring Chromium to OS/2
Mason was supposed to be Perl's answer to PHP. Trouble is you could only get it to anywhere the speed of PHP by hosting it on mod_perl which wasn't an option with shared hosting deals. Same with Perl's heavyweight framework Catalyst - a veritable beast without mod_perl. All died a death in the fire of Perl's attempts to compete with PHP, Python and Ruby. Moose, Mouse, Moo, Mo - none of it really stuck because Perl's forte was procedural. Having said that The Damian did a great job promoting OO Perl. That guy's a true genius. The thing I miss most about my time with Perl in the 2000s is the cast of characters. No language I've come across since has anywhere near the range of acolytes which made the Perl community legendary.
As a former semi-prolific Flash game dev I will say that nothing has really compared to working in that and I can no longer crank out games like I could when Flash was the big thing.

Although that being said, part of that may be my standards for what constitutes a finished game have gone up a lot since then, probably.
I would assume hardware and setup are the limiting factors, not the filament really.
This is not true. On iOS I absolutely can grab the scroll bar and drag it around like normal. It even makes a solid click when the grab is active. It just isn’t super prominent like old desktop OSs had it.
> Debt forgiveness for student loans is a horrible idea.

This comment reeks of privilege. It ignores the fact that vulnerable people, poor people may have made a decision to to try to improve their future at a young age, say 17 or 18, and are forced to live in debt when their situation isn’t improved or worsens over time.

Loan forgiveness should be a tool that can be used to relieve suffering and/or stagnation in some circumstances. Hardly a horrible idea.
It doesn't work for gaming either. I mentioned this in my comment.

Slack is a worse product in almost every way, but it does have better search than Discord if you pay 850 yen per person per month. Do you think that e.g. the Sorbet slack or the Zig community discord should pay 850 yen per person per month for any random person who wants to discuss their open source project?
I mean, I did download the spreadsheets and (skim) read the book after reading the parent article. TL;DR is that the spreadsheets are solid and unsurprising, though his interpretation of said spreadsheets seem to be the part that makes me ask "hmmm, I'm not sure if that follows from the evidence."

It’s pretty remarkable actually just how bad that failure mode was. How did mdadm manage to cause such havoc after the broken device was reattached?
I always thought the documentation generator sites had excellent demos for this kind of thing, e.g. https://docsify.js.org/ and https://docusaurus.io/docs

(Fortunately they are designed to be customized so you can shape things up as you please, as well)
> Making the government accountable for what they spend money on seems like a good direction to go in.

But you are not making them accountable, you are just making everyone poorer. They could still get away with collapsing the economy because of democratic deficit/partisanship/qualified immunity/shortcomings of the justice system/etc. These are the real causes.

> As for what's next, collapse/anarchy etc, who can really say?

If someone is advocating a change to the global financial system, I'd like a better answer than this. Communists sound like grand planners in comparison
You could sue him in small claims court.
kinda. if the guest uses something like virtio balloon the sharing isn't any worse. handling exhaustion isn't any better - although I think transparent migration of vms is more of a standard function than for containers, so that's some up I guess.
> just don't run "npm install" (or similar untrusted code) in an environment that you don't want to get pwned.

So it is unreasonable to want to develop a JS app on the same machine I use for SSH?

Docker works I guess, but adds a lot of mental (and in the case of Docker for Mac, performance) overhead.
> at any time.

It's really simple. Take for example, Bitcoin:

When Bitcoin reaches its next all time high, literally everyone is in (unrealised) profit. However, to get that 'profit' they have to sell it; mostly starts with the few rich speculators at the top of the pyramid accumulating starting to sell and a new fool who buys in late.

The next time Bitcoin crashes, the ones at the bottom who bought in late and hold it always lose.

Therefore the criteria is met and it is a Ponzi scheme and that is what Bitcoin is really useful for.
> I would happily take a 1915 house and upgrade it.

Why do you think it's so much easier/better to upgrade an old house than fix constructions errors with a new one?

I live in an early-20th-century house with minimally-acceptable plumbing and electric (pipes not secured to the structure? welcome to the club!), no insulation, terribly cold windows, one tiny bathroom, sometimes-wobbly feeling floors, etc.

"Upgrading it" would basically be "rip it down to the studs and redo it all" which is basically "everything but one of the easiest parts of new construction" anyway.
Hah! I had that game in my college town computer store. With my head full of Mondo2000 and Gibson, I was sure that VR was just around the corner. Little did I know it was our flying car.
No sorry. BrainTool is a browser extension and as such doesn't run on Android. One day there might be a dedicated mobile app!

Yes, I checked before I posted the comment, and I found many around the 62,000 range with delivery ($40k+22k is cited in the parent).
Your UI is really beautiful. Well done!
It would mean you shift all your access control decisions to the application layer, but don't have an intermediating proxy, which is a pretty normal modern deployment architecture.
like user mode linux?
My point (I may not have explained it well) was that a motorcycle's loud exhaust isn't saving the rider's life from me, since I can't hear it. (I'm not going to run over motorcyclists in general, though). It really sucks for those on the outside who have to deal with it. If there was automatic ticketing, I would hope there's a high burden of proof. I'm not exactly sure what that would look like.
Several years ago, I wrote against a local option sales tax for schools with some uncomfortable data.

This particular referendum was lost, but the next prevailed.

We do not allocate money to education intelligently.

As an aside, the comparison engine provided by the Federal Education Budget Project appears to have been taken down.

[My Illinois town's] Schools have again placed a sales tax increase before the voters for the April 7th election. Voters should reject this increase after reviewing the financials below.

In Iowa, the average 2013 teacher salary is $33,226. The Illinois average, however, is $37,166, which is above the national average of $36,141. Illinois teachers are (more than) fairly compensated.

On a local focus, the Federal Education Budget Project lists the [nearby Iowa] Community School District budget for 2012 (which likely includes local option tax funds) as $174,000,000, which served 16,955 students for a per-student cost of $10,262.

[My town's] budget for the same period was $76,568,000 and served 6,622 students, for a per-student cost of $11,562.

[Our neighboring Illinois town's] budget for the same period was $78,817,000 and served 7,429 students, for a per-student cost of $10,609 per student.

[Our nearby Illinois town's] academic performance is solidly ahead of [my town] - [our nearby Iowa town's] scores 70% and 66% proficient in the 2011 "No Child Left Behind" [high school] reading and math tests, while [my nearby Illinois town] respectively scores 46.9% and 53.8%, and [my town] trails the pack at 30.1% and 25.9%. [My nearby Iowa town] achieves performance dominance while spending $347 less per student than [my nearby Illinois town], and $1,300 less per student than [my town].

[My town's] schools should not ask for larger budgets, but instead trim costs and increase performance to match our nearby peers. If [my town's] schools cannot meet these standards, then perhaps we should consider outsourcing the maintenance of [my town's] schools to the [nearby Iowa town], which appears both more capable and thrifty by all measures. [My town's] students deserve better.
But why discontinue the old method before the new one is ready? This leads to an awkward UX and disinterest by developers, during the time there is no option.
Again, I have no problem with new nuclear plants being pursued, and there are some benefits to it that solar and wind do not (namely consistency, like you said). But the investment just isn't there in a significant amount. Without people willing to put the money into it, they're not going to be built.
These might make your bash scripts a bit faster in Linux, but they will make them a lot faster in Cygwin and MSYS bash in Windows, where process spawning is very slow. Seriously, if there's even a chance of someone running your bash script in Windows (you might be surprised - every bash.exe is either Cygwin or MSYS, including the one that comes with Git for Windows,) your Windows users will thank you for using pure bash instead of external commands.
well theres several ways to answer that. first off characterizing TAM as "every business" is way too broad; up to you how to scope it down but lets say "data analysis for every business". There's not infinite spend for data analysis software.

and on the Temporal side, not B2C directly, but serving large B2C. We now can cite Snap as a public customer - every Snapchat story runs through us (and yeah, theres not infinite spend for orchestration either so make of that what you will). and we have bigger users than Snap.
Not the person you were replying to, but I've been after something like this for quite awhile too.

I use Logseq as my external brain for everything else, but am having a lot of trouble finding a good way to get my highlights and annotations from epubs into it. It has a great cloze feature with flashcards for reviewing things. It can also do highlights and notes from PDFs natively, which is awesome, but I'm a voracious epub reader on my Onyx Boox Poke 2 Color.

KOReader works great on it, but I really need something that would export my notes in md. I don't need it to do so on a daily basis. It'd be fine for it to be at the end of reading the book. But if it COULD export the notes on a daily basis with a block reference to the book title, that'd be even better.
I'm fine with GUI tools, I use them too. I just like the CLI for lots of things that I do. I write lots of scripts for various tasks, set them up as startup scripts or cron jobs and I'm done. GUIs are terrible for automation.
I don’t agree with them.

Vaccines are good, vaccine mandates I don’t care about as long as the vaccines are readily available.

Why are you trying to project these extremist points of view onto me?
What if someone looks up an internal domain which is actually publicly exposed. Granted they shouldn’t be secret, doesn’t mean you should broadcast them publicly.
I dunno, I think something like [1] could do a pretty good job of putting the zipper back together and then you would just have to remove the underside component at the very end and then jiggle the existing zippers to hide the fact that it had ever been opened that way.

I suspect there might be even more surreptitious versions of such tools.

I think you could be making a more complicated point.
Wow, that sounds like the future of testing. It’d be a hard to sell to manager now though. Some of those checks seem like they could be auto-generated though
It would be cool if each dot represented a different variable:

1. Similarity in latitude

2. Similarity in longitude

3. Similarity in size

4. Similarity in population

5. Similarity in GDP
It’s really easy on iOS at least. It shows up when you scroll. Holding on it causes a haptic click and now you can drag the scroll bar.
It’s a solved problem? The most difficult to navigate and extended codebase I ever saw was a medium-to-large sized Rails codebase.
> Preview > Tools > Adjust size

Sorry, I should've used a different word - you can't "expand" the image - i.e. make the size larger and keep the picture in a specific place, so that there's more space for annotation on a side. (or I'm missing the option?)

> Preview > Export > JPEG > compression slider

That's recompressing (losing the quality in the process) not optimizing compression. You can't update the compression settings on a png for example.
Who is trying to switch to GraphQL? Especially for service to service, internal calls?
If Pine64 didn't include hardware that wasn't fully software supported at any arbitrary point in time then the PinePhone as a whole wouldn't exist in the first place.

The thing with the cameras is there's hardly anyone putting effort into them - on average around ~1 person is working on the entire camera stack in their free time (there's a number of people, but none spend their whole time on the cameras). So it's honestly pretty amazing how far we've already come.
Pig livers are next? Could be a game changer!
It's still relatively true. A $400k home is only cheap in comparison to a $2M home. That's quite a lot compared to the average laborer's wages. Maybe if those homes were $200k, the homes in the pricier area would be only $1M (not exactly obviously). $400k to live with an hour commute is not that great a deal IMO.
Given the antiquity of dc, ed would probably be a better match. And nobody willingly uses ed anymore...
> they also have user, protocol, and application awareness that can be utilized to make fairly granular distinctions about who can access what without ever specifying a ip/mask range.

Doesn't this usually require the VPN to do weird packet inspection things? Like you can't, afaik, have a VPN do application or request aware auth of an HSTS enabled endpoint.

But with the beyondcorp model, you can. So you don't need to sacrifice this, you just sacrifice the bad parts of it.
Yeah, I agree that’s pretty confusing. That being said I had to read the Wordle rules the first time I played. Had no idea what the differences were between colors and that a letter could be used multiple times in the same word.
One of the books cited in the article, The Comanche Empire [1], absolutely changed my reading of Blood Meridian. It gives a lot of insight into the political and economic state of Texas/Mexico/New Mexico in the 1800s, and highlights how well McCarthy understood the history of he was writing about. Highly recommended to any fans of history + Blood Meridian.

Just a simple matter of programming
Why was cranelift not a good fit as an optimizer?
I don't know the answer either, but didn't Turing design the British bombe? It's not, as far as I know, Turing complete (or even programmable), but he is quite widely known for his work on this electro-mechanical computer and not just theoretical computer science. He also worked on programmable computers after the war, and apparently is credited with the first complete design of a stored-program computer.
What is the center of the US anyways? Does it include Alaska and Guam?
There is little doubt they could land, if equipped. At issue is how much it costs to have the capability and to get ready to loft again. A SS with flaps, tiles, full-size tankage, and a gimbaled sea-level Raptor triplet will cost a lot more to build, fly, and refurbish than one with none of those. If you could fit 50 more birds in a custom throwaway, in place of tankage, it would be hard to justify not. (Which is not to say Elon won't insist, anyway.)

So landing and turning (a few of) them around will be a marketing play.
Oh man I want this so badly. Might build it.
This is wrong for a few reasons. It is common to try to fit TCP packets into 1500 bytes (minus the bytes for the IP and TCP headers) because 1500 bytes is a common MTU for Ethernet, but this isn't a limitation of TCP, it's just something done to avoid fragmentation. Without extensions TCP packets can be sized up to 64KB. For example, in an environment with jumbo Ethernet frames you might have 9000 byte MTU at the link layer which is just fine. But it's also fine to send a 9000 byte or even 64KB TCP packet over a network with a 1500 byte MTU, the packet will just be split up at the IP layer using IP fragmentation. And as the article points out, RFC 2675 allows creating TCP packets whose payload is even larger than 64KB.
This is a good point. Caplan makes a huge deal about the fact that a students that drops out one semester before finishing the degree takes a huge penalty to their salary. This is what he calls the “sheep skin effect”. He claims that because such a student gets almost all of the education, their penalty must correspond to the signaling component.

But this is where his math runs against common sense. If you are an employer and see a student that dropped out of college without a very good reason, then that is a very strong negative signal. Even if you as an employer believe that education on its own provides valuable benefits to your employees, this does not mean you’d take a risk on someone that dropped out. There are sufficiently few of them that you can just not risk it.
In my experience the waivers are often not very large relative to the cost. It's not surprising to me at all.

The pay to publish model is well intended but fundamentally flawed.
You might want to add Wolfram's Language String Patterns[1].

Perl 6 (which is now actually called Raku, for what it's worth) has BNF-style Grammars as a first class citizen of the language (a virtually unheard of thing AFAIK), and programmers are encouraged to use it for complex parsing tasks instead of regex. I don't know whether that falls under "alternative syntax for regex", they are very closely related to regexes and actually much more powerful and readable, including regexes as a subset. But adding them might drag you into adding every Context Free\Parsing Expression Grammar tool out there, things like Bison and YACC and Antlr.

The language SNOBOL[2][3][4] is one of the earliest languages with text matching and processing as a first class citizen (in fact, the only citizen). Being designed (1962) before the first software implementation of regular expressions* (1968), the pattern language it uses is not based on regular expression, and in some cases actually exceeds it (e.g. matching balanced parenthesis, which mathmatical regex can't do, but some variants of practical regexes can with special non-regular constructs).

This thread[5] in Retrocomputing stack exchange discusses what is the earliest language with string pattern matching capabilities, and finds hidden gems in the process.

You have rattled off a number of terms I have never seen and have no context for. "Kentucky FIRE", "California FIRE", "Cherry keys"... I have literally no idea what you are talking about even after "googling them". I'm sure there will be some in the know who are like, "That dude does not even know what Cherry keys are" and scoff at me perhaps like the engineer is scoffing at you now. Press him on why he feels your questions trivial and perceptions inaccurate.

Then, speak directly to the CEO one on one and let them know your disappointing onboarding impressions. The CEO is almost assuredly going to tell you they know it is a problem but he (I assume it was a he) in an asshole-savant and the company needs him. If you want at that point you can resign with a perfectly valid reason. I would not mention it on a resume nor put it on a linkedin profile. I might if pressed in an interview use it as an example for when you stood up for the right thing on principle.
