What do you mean by "walkable Arlington"? If you mean a more house-and-sidewalk residential neighborhood, then neither Pentagon City nor Crystal City meet that mark. And Crystal city is fairly walkable even before you account for the underground part.

They're both mixed-use urban developed areas with large towers, although Crystal City actually seems to have more of those. Both are in the same place, south of Interstate 395 and west of the airport (the Pentagon is just north of 395).

edit: and for reference Wikipedia says: "Crystal City includes offices of numerous defense contractors, the United States Department of Labor, the United States Marshals Service, and many satellite offices for The Pentagon. It is also the location of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport."

Trade is not what's keeping Europe from joining the fight with Ukraine. It's nuclear weapons. If the Russians didn't have nukes, they would have already been forcibly expelled from Ukraine, and we'd be debating about whether to push them out of Crimea.

Ask Apple to compensate for a screen protector used on a new but faulty iPhone?
It has become very common for iPhone users to apply a screen protector right after unboxing. However, it is not unusual to receive a faulty iPhone even if it is brand new nowadays. If customers apply a screen protector to the new iPhone that happens to be faulty, is Apple responsible to compensate customers for the screen protector?

My local (UK) apple store dismissed my request because the screen protector was not purchased from apple store. But I believe this is not justified because the phone is faulty and Apple should compensate for customer’s loss, i.e, the screen protector. Can any readers here tell me if I am right or not? Any help would be appreciated.

Honest question, is that comment meant at face value, or is it sarcastic?

My impression of Apple has been that it's a mixed-bag for privacy, etc., so I'm actually not sure.

What are you referring to? That Strava has to store&compute more and more data from a user the longer they are using the platform?

> disastrous outcomes to the US financial system

So, where's the bad part, here? Oh no, a huge parasitic industry that comprises 9% of GDP but produces precisely nothing of value will be hurt?

Dollar demand will have to be predicated on real demand for actual American goods and services instead of relying on artificial demand driven by the forced settlement of trade contracts in dollars?

We'll have to actually produce value for the world instead of living profligately off the backs of Chinese, Korean, Mexican, and German labor? We'll have to actually put things into the empty containers leaving our ports? We'll have to actually work real jobs instead of being instagram influencers and optimizing click campaigns?

Yeah, I agree. Dad's a dick for taking the heroin away. It's definitely not our fault for becoming addicted in the first place. What a jerk.
Throwaway for obvious reasons.

This is hypocrisy of Western democracy. I can't recall when Google was removed after US invaded so many countries. Why do Western companies oppress free speech when it doesn't match their narrative (Julian Assange, now Russian media)?

Why not give Russian "propaganda" tell its narratives and let people decide? Are you afraid of their truth/"truth" or are you afraid people will follow them? If you think people are stupid to decide, why do you allow them to even vote for a President of a country?

Why US thinks it is ok to expand NATO to the borders of Russia, but didn't think Soviet military in Cuba is ok?

Where are all liberals fighting for human rights and free speech?

* US invasion - good guys killing bad guys

* Russian invasion - bad guys killing good guys

* China human right violations - "west" only condemns, because we are too much dependent on cheap products.

* US tells Iraq has biological weapons - yeah let's start the war.

* Russia tells Ukraine has biological weapons - yeah, propaganda as usual.

I have so many questions, but pretty sure no one is going to answer them constructively thanks to cancel culture (and the reason for throw away account) where "liberals" cancel you if they don't agree with you, responses I might get "whataboutism"

I am anti-war in all countries, because at the end of the day ordinary people suffer. But why people are demanding protests from Russian people to overthrow Putin (which I doubt they can, unless their military people decide to support) when they weren't able to stop war in Iraq, Afghanistan or any other US invaded country by protesting? Do you think you have moral rights to ask Russian people to do something when you were silent, when you couldn't even save Julian Assange? (by the way I am not Russian)

Stop pretending you are right!

I’m not defending Exxon but I feel like no one asks the question “What if we never discovered fossil fuels”.

Well, perhaps Earth would be in the middle of an ice age (And there is evidence to support it) which clearly isn’t good for all the species that would go extinct during such a period. If you look past the alarmism I don’t think we understand this complex system as well as we like to think we do. And that is completely ignoring the massive amount of good things that hydrocarbons do for our planet, help to feed the world, enable humanity to support huge cities and billions of humans, all the modern conveniences of life, and so on.
This is kinda silly because I bet they could've made burgers with a robot long ago (mass produced and shipped in) and just heated it up from a frozen stage when you order. Part of me suspects the whole 'combining the meat with the bun' at-location component is kind of superfluous and is just there to make the food feel freshly made (despite being heavily produced). So this robot with that in mind is kind of silly.
> Stats are showing that women are consuming lots of porn now too.

And that somehow makes porn nice and healthy does it?

> Personally I'd do away with 'mainstream' porn, my inner voyeur likes the homemade stuff too much.

I'm not sure I understand your argument, nor confident you understand mine. Just because a couple make homemade videos together and post them up, it doesn't mean the viewer who is getting sexual gratification has any sort of real connection to the performers. It's complete fantasy, dependant on the human body as solely as means of sexual gratification rather than any wholistic context. Now take that mindset to to the real world as see how maladapted it leaves you. Here in the UK there's an epidemic of highscool aged girls being pressured into sending nude images by boys. Of course porn can't be to blame for all of this, but I'm sure it plays a big part.

I'd also like to point out nothing I'm talking about is related to morality (since you mentioned it). Whatever people want to spend their time doing is up to them. I'm simply making the argument that porn can be harmful and lots of mainstream porn is really focused around turning women into sex objects and outlets for dealing with displaced emotions. I've no doubt that there's something deeper that drives your voyeurism too, maybe inquiring about that might make you pursue something more fulfilling than images on the internet.

Let's stop pretending there are no consequences to porn.
"because there are no mitigating factors for driving in a dangerous and anti-social manner."

That depends on how you define dangerous and anti social. What if I exceed the speed limit when driving to a hospital in an emergency? Is 5 mph over the speed limit "dangerous" enough to fit the definition? What mitigating factors do you think exist for other crimes that don't exist for these.

"but I do not willingly drive in a dangerous and reckless manner."

Now we're getting to the meat of the discussion. So you're only talking about willful violations. That could be hard to prove. You claim that you're not perfect, but that you also don't drive dangerously? So we need to know what defines "dangerously". There's a good chance your unwilling behavior does constitute dangerous behavior.

On top of all this, reckless driving and reckless endangerment are offenses that carry stiff penalties in most places. In many places, these are misdemeanors and result in possible jail time, license revocation/suspension, re-education, and fines. If we already have these then why apply them to minor or even deminimus offenses?
Dry land is just one aspect of climatic stability. Tolerable and predictable weather patterns is another. Fertile regions, a critical consequence of that. The question isn't whether some will survive, the question is: Who, why them, and at what cost? Furthermore, it's best to avoid population bottleneck scenarios in general, isn't it?

So, sure; we can relax at least our fears for a Kevin Costner "waterworld."
The number itself is no longer permanently their network, sure - however, they have instant access to look up* any number and find who presently owns it - which they must use to be able to route calls successfully. It's completely true that say, T-Mobile could today refuse to connect a call when the caller pretends to be calling from a T-Mobile owned number and yet is calling from outside their network.

Sure, it would only kill a subset of the spam if they could only do this when they currently control the spoofed number themselves, however it would still do something!

The weird thing is that they claim it's to avoid duplicate activities, but they totally know how to recognize duplicates already. Every so often, there's some sort of glitch in one of my activities getting from Garmin to Strava. If I'm feeling impatient, I download the .fit file from Garmin and upload it to Strava myself, and I never get a duplicate that way. Happened for the first time in a while just last week. Clearly, whenever Garmin does send the data, Strava is perfectly capable of recognizing an activity it already has, and it does the right thing. I'm just not buying that excuse.

BTW and a bit OT, I find it very impressive that Strava can retroactively create a leaderboard going back years for a newly created segment, meaning that they must evaluate potentially millions of nearby activities for overlaps, often in just a few minutes. That's a hell of a query. Anybody know of more information on how they do it?
I didn't say anything about a carbon tax. I was talking more about agreed upon restrictions that can't simply have money thrown at them to just keep doing what they're doing. This carries over to a number of different policy decisions that have naive approached to truly reducing them. Like the real estate market, noise pollution, other pollution. Put another way, would you be chill about the local high-polluting company continuing to dump sewage into water ways if they're paying some fee? Probably not. People driving performance cars around can already afford the extra expense of having them, either for status or fun or whatever, I don't necessarily want to make it even more exclusive. A different example would be those disgusting coal-rollers that fuckheads drive. Do I want them to be able to drive in the city because they can afford to sink the cost and do it anyway? No.
Depends, I don’t think the storage requirements for the spam is that high and I would rather just use grep than remember the nonstandard port I picked.

But I guess this is partly because I tend to look at logs a lot less than I SSH into my server.

Sort of related: Adobe creative cloud is the most bloated, CPU-inefficient system I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with as a professional editor. I get FCPX is apple’s NLE but the render times smoke premier in comparison and CC in general is just way too busy in the background.

> The power of democracy is the peaceful way to change the government after it fucks up.

This is a very important point I didn't understand before thinking about some things David Deutsch said. Debates don't convince many people, only clearly terrible policies do. And being able to peacefully switch out the goverenment is a great advantage.

> Adopting CodeMirror pushed us to write more in a more functional style that makes the code more fun and simple (not easy) in the shortrun, and more maintainable in the long run!

I had a similar kind of good experience with code-mirror. I was writing my first proper compiler, and making a total dogs dinner of it. As a distraction, I decided to try put together an editor with syntax highlighting with CodeMirror. In the process of just fitting my compiler to the CodeMirror recursive descent parser I ended up bringing my compiler back from the brink of disaster. It feels really nice when a framework/API has enough good-taste/-engineering built into it that it improves code that uses it :)

I'll be interested in seeing how the upgrade to 6 goes - I'll wait until it's officially released, though...

(People've been using said compiler + IDE for about ten years now)

In my experience it's more user hostile the worse your connection, because they have to sit and watch the images load for an even longer amount of time than I do, whereas it could have kept loading for them ahead of time.

Where without lazy loading they could normally get up and get a cup of coffee and come back, you are now actively wasting their time as they scroll.
Well I think in an ideal world "liberating" would not involve mass murder of the "liberated" population. I am aware that this is a historical weak spot.

Even still - I don't see a problem with countries rescuing other countries from despotism, in principle. I eagerly include my own country in this - if a Putin-like figure arose and I was not permitted to speak out or face death, it would comfort me to know that help was coming. The terror of an oppressive regime is its inescapability.
Off-topic, but Firefox is on 98 already? isn't Chrome on 99 too? Was their goal to "catch up" or something?

From discussions I've had with people at Strava, they're trying to be more focused on implementing a few key features really well. When the original founders returned in 2018 or 2019, the app had a ton of features that had been half integrated, couldn't be found in order to be used, etc etc.

They paired back things that weren't working, moved to focus on revenue (as they weren't going to be able to grow into the social network for all activities like they tried).

I think it's the right strategy, but this move makes no sense. It's very easy for them to manage duplicate data, and I'm surprised to see them suggest users set-up their garmin device to connect directly to Apple. This essentially makes it easier for strava to be cut out of the loop in the future if the social aspect isn't working for you.
I prefer the corporations not have the data at all. The problem is Apple is simultaneously the best and also pretty bad at stewarding such an ecosystem. In theory all my actual health data would live on a device I own, encrypted, and accessible only by the apps I approve. In reality Apple can't or won't provide those mechanisms. Every other corporation wants to collect and sell my data.

Apple had a chance to make on-premise data storage a thing. They had AirPort, which combined with a Mac Mini could provide full iCloud functionality from the home. iCloud itself could have simply been an encrypted offsite backup, like Tarsnap with no options.

Instead Apple built a system that still puts clear user data within their reach.
Right, I bet you could make a Jimmy-Dean vending machine that has an air-fryer conveyor belt on the way out, but you'd have a hard time finding investors because your robot isn't replacing fry-cooks. Actually I'd be surprised if this didn't already exist at truck stops next to the hot dog rollers.
Shared adversity builds strong bonds but that kind of goes out the window if one party can't remember it and the adversity is therefore not shared. It's probably closer to sunk cost fallacy at that point.

Maybe it’s just what you know but every time I’ve used Garmin Connect it’s felt like a dumpster fire compared to Strava.

Even for route planning (years ago) which I would not say Strava is fantastic at, it still seemed worse.

YMMV
If Russia didn't have nukes the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 wouldn't have been allowed to stand and we wouldn't be talking about another one in 2022.
There are a lot of options on this front. As far as I can tell, most displays for embedded platforms are sold as modules that you interface with via a serial or parallel bus. There are libraries out there to handle the grunt work, if you don't want to dig through data sheets yourself.

If you want something that doesn't use any dedicated hardware, interfacing with analog displays (e.g. NTSC/PAL/VGA) can be done with a handful of resistors on GPIO pins. Conceptually, it is easier but actually dealing with timing is a pain. Again, libraries that deal with the grunt work are available.
Awesome article. The author has absolutely nailed the issues one faces with distributed systems under stress.

[Replit specific rant, but in my defense it's their blog post.]

I don't understand the in-browser code editor experience. How does it work?

I tried the emacs keybindings on replit... what a joke - Control-N to go to the next line? Nope. Control-P for previous? Nope. Meta-F? opens the file menu. I don't even know what keybindings I should be hoping will work.

Vi keybindings are much more usable in-browser (obviously).

A massive problem for me was getting out of the frame and not being able to get back in. I wanted to do something like ":compile". Or ":n" to get to the next focusable input field.

Maybe there are function keys bound? I wish I could find out.

Is there any possibility of one of these "IDEs" having auto-indent / reindent? I see from the docs there's supposed to be one, but all I get is not-smart left/right motion.

Working with beginners it would be very nice.
I must've read too much into you mentioning that particular year (being of course the one with the Blaster's infamous if unintentional countdown to reboot due to XP's RPC service crashing). For me, it might've well been one of the bigger reasons why XP was also the last Windows as the main OS on my home computers.
The current development team didn't always build it, either. And the pressures and incentives are often biased away from improving things, no matter how much individual developers might want to.

"You build it, you fix it" has to apply to the powers that be (i.e. the product managers and such), not just the individual contributors.
Apple’s garden (orchard?) is famously walled. This just means they intentionally make their hardware incompatible with other hardware/software. Presumable so you have to buy more Apple stuff
