The price per square foot may be higher in the city, but people often spend more in total on housing in the suburbs. For example, someone who moves from a small urban apartment to a large house in a nearby suburb is likely spending more, and they do it because they prefer living in the house over having more money in their bank account.
Leaded gasoline is still legal in the US and used every day. I watch vehicles burn it from my house every day. So I'm skeptical of any correlation, given that it never happened.
2,400W is around (and possibly more than) what the strongest track cyclists can sustain for about five seconds.

Tour de France cyclists racing up mountains generally sustain around 400W, which is enough to go 25+km/h for hills that aren't too steep.
No, it’s not, and victims of revenge porn will tell you as such.

Everybody thinks muggings are wrong, and yet people are traumatized by muggings. People thing school shootings are wrong, yet they’re traumatic.

I suggest you go ask one for yourself if you don’t believe me, because frankly you don’t know what you’re talking about.
There were better games at the time, it was riding on the success and lore of the Warcraft series.

People who were not into MMORPGs at the time were all of a sudden excited because it was Warcraft.

Especially beyond a point in the low millions, it's just too tempting to forge the art. The intrinsic value for a painting is for it to change a wall, sometimes alter a space you could say, and it does that very well in many cases. But not if it becomes so expensive you can't turn your back to it.
It also has a different idea of what’s actually double-quoted: it ignores backslashes completely. (Well, the Microsoft C runtime and SHELL32.DLL also have different ideas in that regard, as mentioned in the links in the post, but CMD.EXE’s different different idea is ... more different. I still don’t understand whetehr SHELL32.DLL and pre-2008 C runtime are the same or not. An MSDN blog post discussing this is—concisely if not in detail—here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/twistylittlep... I think I came upon it by following links from the head post but I can’t seem to recover the path.)
But where people want to live is influenced by what they know. So they want the suburbs to get out of bad schools, not thinking they can reform their schools. They want suburbs for a nice house without asking why their neighborhood can't be made great.
Hey thanks for posting about this! I never would have discovered it on my own :)
I wonder how the thieves knew it was a tracker and the author knows it was ditched because of it's discovery.

I do believe it's a contrived story as an attempt at "viral" marketing.
That explains a lot about current events at Activision/Blizzard :P
Are you fucking kidding me. This is pure Marxist propaganda.

> The root cause of this potentially existential abomination is the capitalist mode of production: since capital’s appropriation of labour’s labour time is the source of profit, capital accumulation is increasingly dependent on the intensity of subtractive production. World socialism, now becoming an economic — and, evidently, biological — necessity for the first time, will enable the full realisation of the advent of additive production, such as hemp- and mycelium-based infrastructure and precision fermentation, making production clean, healthy and sustainable.

Awww. Yes. Socialism is the cure-all for this! /sarcasm

Capitalism has it's issues but replacing it with state run industry will not remove this problem.
For a controller, look at the Cycle Analyst from Grin Technologies. It is somewhat hackable, can hook up to a crank based torque sensor, or use a cadence sensor. Personally I just use a throttle that "remembers" a given setting when you hold it in a given position for a couple seconds, and throttle enough to bring me up to say 8 mph, then peddle to get to 15 or so. Basically I peddle about how hard I want to, then adjust the throttle to give me the speed I feel like going. But you can also do fully peddle-based (cadence or torque) assist to make it feel more natural (then it would be like riding with a strong wind at your back).

I'd be curious what the impact of fewer but more voluminous grants would be on academia. As other commenters have noted this grant turns into roughly 1 student for 5 years working on the project for a professor. Even for this grant, you would expect that a professor would need 3-5 such ongoing grants to really keep the lab functional.

It took 2 weeks to craft this grant proposal. Assuming the average academic has a 30% hit rate and the average grant provides funding for ~1 year... then this translates to roughly 30 weeks per year. A somewhat extreme example, but I wouldn't be surprised if these numbers get worse as you move to lower tier universities - and better for higher tier universities.

Would it be better to simply grant lab's to researchers with a general research plan on a 3-5 year cadence?
I don't have upper or lower bounds and have no specific qualms with someone wanting more for themselves as a general principle. My perspective is more that as a whole the "tech industry" could use a bit of negative reinforcement to emphasize the true scope of their perceived injustices.

I don't do a very good job of clearly explaining the why aspect of my comment, however I did write an unreasonably long response to multiple comments further down that probably clarifies nothing but at least expands on my original comment. You can see it here:

When you're done playing, I recommend watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZokQov_aH0

Games are part art, what's more to understand?

There's some fun image out there I can't exactly recall, but it's basically of an interview with some game devs, and one of them saying something like "We wanted to have a pot with flowers on the table here, and when you come back to this room later, the color of the flowers changes. No gameplay consequences. But we cut it for time. Why did we want it? Because we thought it'd be cool."

But in a lot of games there's tons of stuff like that which doesn't get cut. Gamedev is full of those "because it'd be cool" or other vague artistic reasons (as opposed to business reasons or researched game testing reasons) for something to be there, or something to be polished well beyond reason.

Not in anything like the quantities it used to be when it's use wasn't as restricted as it is now (and, with use dropping, so did blood levels; this has been extensively studied.)

In support of this comment, as a radio astronomer I used to think I understood radar. Then I sat in a presentation by some smart people from MIT, and it turns out that I was really wrong, but the things actual radars do are built on top of things that I know from astronomy.
For Windows, Groupy is a utility to group and tab windows. Works well with the built in snapping of Windows. Buy it on Steam and you can use it on up to five computers IIRC.
Thinking back to the first days of World of Warcraft, the art direction was impeccable. There was great attention to detail that felt immersive.

Every area had a specific theme and lore to it, which connected to other areas and the overarching story.

What worked best for these environments were the memories of early multiplayer for me.

It's easy to forget how old school the graphics are yet my memories of Tarren Mill and the first beginnings of PVP are still very vivid.

Same with the first server event with Ahn'Qiraj (which in my opinion had some of the best design in the whole game).
Ah memories...

I remember needing to drop down all my graphics settings just to be able to enter Ironforge.

Every now and then I have to remind myself that things that are obvious to me aren't obvious to everyone else. And thus, sometimes its worth explaining "obvious" things.

This is probably true for everyone.
Blame their drug dealer model. YT could just be premium like Netflix but ofc then the largest group of content providers who don't care about money would move elsewhere.
Having a kid is what put it over the top for me too. That, compounded by Google's ads being all over the map in terms of content, location in videos, and most importantly, length. I've put on a kids video and mid video there's a ten minute ad playing and a two year old absorbing some content I did not approve.
Radar for an altimeter since by it's very nature it needs to measure distance and not just speed is going to be frequency modulated. Unmodulated/continuous frequency radar can only measure speed. When you start processing the small amount of doppler frequency shift from reflections with a changing frequency things get tricky especially when one has have multi-path return (aka it's reflecting off multiple objects) This will lead two or more reflections with roughly the same frequency, but they have a phase shift. That's the kind of shift I am talking about here. The more noise you have the more difficult it is to separate these reflections when processing these signals.

Edit: I will add the a fair amount of interference by multi path return can be mitigated by making the transmitter and receiver shielded from other directions and designed to be highly directional. This also is generally not to hard to do for an altimeter since the datatum one is measuring after all is just elevation over a small area, compared to something like radar for topography that wants to cover a large area.
Well, I don't know that I would agree that what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan qualifies as "imperialism." I would call that "nation building," and the motives were/are a lot different (although not entirely void of Venn diagram overlap). Most of us really thought our sacrifice was making life better for people and giving them a chance to experience freedom.

At this point I think history has shown that nation building is a bad idea and doesn't work. I think we wasted a ton of money and blood (on all sides) in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it would have been better had we never gone at all.

Now all that said, I think it's terribly fallacious and prejudiced to assume what somebody's views are because they served in the military. The military is quite diverse. You'll find people with all sorts of viewpoints and all sorts of reasons for joining.
finally, one person who read it..

but really, it's the phones on the plane that are the problem, because they are closer.
It's an open secret that the indirect costs are budgeted to make profit for a university. That is, the stated costs exceed actual costs. This has been publicly discussed by former federal division heads in major outlets.

The problem with this is the universities rely on this funding to stay afloat, so there's a tail wagging the dog problem. Basically the evaluation of scientific merit then derives from a decision as to whether or not it can procure money from the federal government.

That in turn is driven by all sorts of factors:

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

I don't want to argue that grants are bad but I do think the system is broken. Everyone passes the buck to the federal government in this kind of shell game, and then the federal grant system becomes the [near] monopoly over scientific decision making.

The analogy I tend to use in my head is that it's like if your state gave out grants to fund plumbing projects, and people realized that these grants paid more than the actual costs for the project. You have a plumbing project, get the plumber to get a grant for you, and pocket the difference. So people stop hiring plumbers on the basis of the work they do per se, and instead hire them on the basis of their ability to procure state grants. That's kind of what the system works like now.

Do industry grants have larger overhead? It doesn't matter one way or another. That's a different issue. Two wrongs don't make a right either.
I found those NSF outreach requirements very frustrating, because I knew (or believed) that aside from some actually conscientious and dedicated people, most everyone was making up perfunctory or fictitious plans for how they would satisfy this requirement if they got the grant.

And the NSF would not be checking on whether people actually did those things, or take back the money if they weren't fulfilled, so basically (I felt at the time) it was incentivizing people to lie about their intentions. I didn't feel good about making up such stories. So I guess I lost out to those who were willing.

If you're going to put in requirements like this, I think you'd better follow up and make sure people don't take you for fools and say what you want to hear but not do it later.

(edit to add: my experience is based on having been through this 15 years ago, so it's probably to be taken with a grain o salt)
As for keyboard, I'd probably take an ultimate hacking keyboard or a Lenovo with integrated trackpoint. I have no desire to leave the home row.
> Well, I don't know that I would agree that what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan qualifies as "imperialism."

Afghanistan is arguably more complex, Iraq (2003) was pure imperialism.
Yep, I can vouch for this. I work on the Redux JS libraries, entirely volunteer. I spend a _lot_ of time maintaining them, but I'm mostly able to do that because I can _choose_ to do that work when I feel like it, with no outside pressure. Adding financial obligations would likely cause a lot of additional mental overhead I don't want to deal with.

Besides, in my case at least, I spend so much time working on Redux stuff as it is that money really couldn't even make me do more than I already do anyway :) The only thing I can think of that would qualify would be getting paid a full salary to do maintenance full-time, and I don't want that either. I like building other stuff for the day job, and Redux stuff in my free time.
I don't think it meshes well with Spanish wildfire stats [1]. I can't see any serious trend there, definitely nothing like California. The main difference is that they manage their forests and do prescribed burning.

What if they think that every family having a nice house makes their neighborhood great? Why is being able to walk to a dozen restaurants the only thing that makes a neighborhood good? Is it possible that people do in fact know what they want, and you are being condescending by assuming that they are too stupid to not know their own wants and desires? Stop with the conspiracy theory that people disagree with you because they are brainwashed or uncultured.

That grant proposal should answer your question - what's going to pay for that industrial engineer in that collab? You get $50k/year for 5 years and you can't even pay that to an outside engineer since then your proposal wouldn't fulfill the education goals by having a grad student 'trained' through doing that thing. (quoting OP of what the annual budget covers - "1 month of summer salary for myself, 1 grad student at an above-average salary plus tuition, no equipment, alternating international and domestic conference trips for both myself and the grad student, and funds to pay participants in user studies".
Off topic: love the blog design.

It's information dense, non-distracting, and links look like links.
The odd part is tying the airline's app to a wholly separate thing run by Panasonic (the onboard wifi). The United app isn't required, involved, etc, in purchasing and using wifi on the aircraft. No app is required at all...just the browser on the phone. That's why we're confused about the integration that would be needed to accomplish this. The United app would have to be detecting the jailbreak and then sending some unique identifier to the third party via some separate channel.
It would be interesting to rephrase many of these HN comments in the context of a general purpose home robot. Or a Tesla. I take all of this for granted already for Tesla.

For a general purpose robot I might want baby sitting one year and health care provider another year.
I did try it. Rick and I worked on writing network software.

We found that the person typing contributed somewhat less as they had to deal with syntax issues while the other person had time to think. Overall though it was a very effective programming technique. Rick was very strict about his code and wanted to be the person typing. I didn't think it mattered so I agreed.

The downside came later. My boss slammed me for "bothering Rick" who he claimed was doing excellent work. I tried to explain the idea of pair programming but he ignored me. Rick got an excellent rating and a raise. I got slammed and no raise.

I don't recommend pair programming.
I never knew about the Pinecil before this post. Thanks for that.

Personally own the TS100 and absolutely adore it for mostly building keyboards.

Yes you are absolutely spoiled by both of these. Before them were super terrible irons or the expensive brick sized ones with minimal optionality. Having come from the 'dark ages' it's night and day.
I picked a race that didn't start in Ironforge. I remember not really knowing what to expect. I may have taken a griffin or just used a boat. But the sheer feeling of awe when you enter. The music changes and truly get a scale of how large the place is. I'm not sure I'll ever get to experience that again.
Also I don't think that is taxable income so basically multiply by 1.67 since most people end up paying roughly 40% of their income in state/federal taxes, social security, medicare, etc.

Oh really? Dang, I guess my comment is only relevant to the first gen, then. We don't get any of those monitors or anything over network. Just OBD or canbus.

That's a completely fair point. At least when it comes to OBD you can mostly figure out what data is made available, and even then there are usually enthusiasts who dig deeper to find other random metrics being logged. Plus you can get something like an Ecutek or OFT that can do additional datalogging.
The term for this is "conveyor belt content". And yes, this took off in WotLK, probably in big part due to the achievement system. Why? This replaced player agency in determining content with a Blizzard-supplied checklist and the effects of this flowed on to map design (IMHO).
Exactly the same here. Never got into it, and the longer I held out, the more I was convinced it triggered some sort of addiction gene in people! How could they spend HOURS every day and weekend in this pretend world clicking random monster??

I personally knew parents who would stick their toddlers in pack and plays for hours just to grind out or quest or whatever.. every weekend. It seemed so absurd to me.

Then I realized as I got older, it really wasn't different than any other social activity. People gathering to watch hours of (sports) doesn't seem so strange, why should gaming get the same scepticism?

So that is my take away, the immersion wasn't so much the game itself, it was the broad social aspect: everybody you knew played. It was relatable, and you felt a sense of accomplishment.. just like most other social activities.

I haven't experienced this personally. My car was on a custom dyno E85 flex fuel tune with ecutek for a while and there were a couple times I brought it into a dealer. The only thing they noticed and cared about was the flex fuel kit, and even then that was because they mistook it for a custom aftermarket fuel pump, when in reality it just reroutes the fuel line through the sensor.

In fact, about a year after this my warranty had expired. But Subaru ended up extending it due to COVID and offered to reimburse any repair expense up to like $500 or something. At that earlier time, dealer missed some issues despite running diagnostics on my ECU and wiring harness. So later I brought it to another shop that fixed the problem. Subaru still reimbursed the whole cost of that repair plus parts. This was after they would've checked my ECU and seen that it had been modified with an ecutek license.
VS Code certainly uses GPU accelerated rendering, it's an Electron app after all. Though yes only needing to hit 30 FPS to not be the bottleneck in your case does make things a bit moot.
I don't think that it is negative. If you read the comments, the question is more about the supposed price.
Did you just juxtapose "private" and "Gmail"?

I used to have domains whose MX records went to google, but I had no expectation that the mail would be private. "Just works" and "free" were powerful selling points. I was ok letting them analyze my email in exchange for providing the service.
> When I think about how Simple Sabotage works, I find myself unable to shake the feeling that the best way to combat the organizational dysfunction outlined in the OSS's Simple Sabotage Manual is to avoid "taking the bait", and to ensure small, highly empowered teams of do-ers are able to execute.

If I were going to sabotage Debian, I'd get a small team of ideological allies and work with them on some very complicated and technical component which outsiders couldn't readily understand, and we'd dismiss all external contributions as "not fitting the project vision". Any disagreement with the vision would be labelled as sabotage.

The real trick is then making this complicated component "sticky", maybe including in it some useful tools which help solve some pain points of package maintainers so that they are happy to become dependent on it, while they turn a blind eye to all the complexity that it introduces elsewhere, because that's neatly filed away as "someone else's problem".

Before long, the sabotage project will become effectively essential, with the saboteurs in charge of its direction, using it as a yolk or rudder by which to force more and more destructive changes into Debian. Then, eventually, you wouldn't even be able to install a printer in Debian without falling victim to the saboteurs.
