Have you ever worked as a flagger? I have. It isn't a binary "move the sign and then flip it back". Here are a list of things that you would need to consider:

1. Flaggers often go from site to site throughout the day. You would need someone to set up and take down the machine

2. The flagger is in constant radio contact with the work crew. They need to know which equipment is blocking which lane etc. And this is always changing.

3. Flaggers need to respond to emergency vehicles, busses, their own work trucks etc. You have to have your head on a swivel at all times

4. Pedestrians/bikers/other road users need to be considered as well, and may be outside of camera shot

5. What if the connection is choppy/equipment breaks. Does a tech go site to site? Does the crew stop working? Labor is the single biggest cost of construction by a large margin. Everyone minute the crew isn't working is CrewNumber * PrevailingWage lost.

6. Flaggers work at night/all weather/complex intersections. All this would need to be accounted for.

7. Like self driving cars, there are about 12 billion edge cases that take a combination of experience/reasoning.

I don't mean to be dismissive of your idea or anything. But this attitude is pervasive in our industry, that "I saw someone doing a job that looks easy, I bet I know everything about it and can design a better way to do it". That attitude is both great (inspires bold ideas) and terrible. The right question isn't "I bet this could be automated" but rather, "I should job shadow someone doing this job, see if there are any ways to improve it".
That's my impression too. Camp 2 is also a problem when they decide to improve things under heavy time constraints, but it's mostly camp 3 being the issue, and camp 4 being ignored.

Meanwhile, camp 1 mostly won't break anything by themselves (developers do usually learn enough UX for that), but also are unable to fix anything.

I'll just add that camp 4 didn't exist only in universities by the time those things got developed. But they almost only exist there now.

What's new about this? That it's faster? People have been reconstructing 3D images from multiple photos for over a decade. The experimental work today is constructing a 3D image from a single photo, using a neural net to fill in a reasonable model of the stuff you can't see.
Swagger is, I think, named to reference SWIG, the tool everyone used to use to generate language bindings for C libraries, which is this.

SWIG is built on top of C .h files, which are the _real_ Swagger for binary formats.
that makes sense. thank you.
Only tangentially related, I'm personally intrigued by redo, but have never had a good justification for trying it out.

It looks eminently reasonable to me, and Avery Pennarun plus DJB sounds like a majorly winning team to me.

I'm going to try and explain it again.

A person is not born believing in gods. They are not making arguments about the existence or non-existence of gods. One day someone says to them that gods may exist, this other person has made a claim. It would be more than strange to say this person has a more valid viewpoint than the person who has made no claims.

Goodnight and good luck. And even if you are trolling, I hope you find what it is you're _really_ seeking in life.
I happen to have started reading Varieties of Religious Experience within the last hour. Is this title a nod to that book or is it just a coincidence (or coinkydink as my mom says)?
0. I'd say if you want case studies in how little agreement there is in moral reasoning, look no further than attempts to turn such lofty ideals as UN covenants and declarations into actual public policy! Countries wildly differ in their interpretations of these things. Even within those interpretations, they implement them differently. Within those implementations, people in those countries still disagree with the principles of those declarations. And in any case, the US is not even a party to the one you mentioned.

1. "I think there is some value in establishing the fact that the positions you initially argued were morally neutral are now being established as moral positions."

I've been quite consistent here. In regards to your claim that my top post was morally equivocating funding gifted kids and special ed kids, I pointed out that wasn't doing any such thing because I made no moral claims in the first place. I stuck to what was either quantitative (my district allocates $61/yr to TAG students), or clearly demarcated subjective opinion. ("I think...")

You then made categorical claims about what "moral basis" might exist: specifically, that there is no moral basis for kids to be entitled to the average amount of spend, and that there's no moral basis in favor of funding gifted kids at the expense of reducing special ed funding from their present levels. The purpose of my listing those two other positions is because they are clearly based in reasonably common moral principles that lots of ordinary people hold, and lead to exactly the positions you're thinking have no moral basis. I certainly don't claim those are morally neutral -- the whole point is that they are not.

2. 'You've advanced two positions that take money away from special needs students for other students in ways that deny their right to an education. I'm glad you now somewhat acknowledge that consequence by appealing to arguments that seem to amount to "Education is not a right and even if it is, that doesn't mean special needs assistants are necessary to provide that right."'

When I argue that a thing isn't necessary to respect a right, then that's not even "somewhat" of an acknowledgment that failing to provide it is a denial of that right... it's exactly the opposite! :)
It seems like you assume you would remain human for a quadrillion years. Why? I'd assume a technology to upload yourself into a better substrate (one you have full control over) will appear within next few hundred years. From that point there are no limits on what you can do or become.
Sure but a lot of these places are also not sustainable either. A lot of small to medium cities are going bankrupt due to unsustainable urban sprawl.

Many young educated techies are also not really keen on the whole suburban hellscape and being completely reliant on (dino-fuel) cars either.

Cost is one factor but sustainability is another that I think is important to highlight. You can get both in a favorable position but I think it's easier to make things sustainable and less costly in a place that has people to begin with (e.g. Tokyo) than one where everyone is adamantly against building up or creating less sprawl (most lower density cities that exist in the USA).
Without understanding of a mechanism we're still talking about correlation, though. Just one backed up by a metastudy.

Mostly it's invasion of privacy. Your boss can invade your privacy trivially at work, and get reads on you about how little you can be paid, how much abuse you can actually take, to what degree he can injure you long-term so you have a worse negotiating position, what the consequences will be of going over that, all kinds of things. Like a typical boss will spend all day plotting how to get an employee to work unpaid overtime. Plus scream at you at FULL VOLUME, physical intimidation has to happen in person, it's too abstract if the volume is limited by the sound system or if the intimidation happens over video, it's not only less immediate but it can also be recorded accidentally. Like "oh I'll get my ass kicked...in 6 hours. Eh, go for it."

And no decibel meter, that ruins the fun, when he whispers and retaliates for you not hearing him, or when he squelches "I'M AN ASSHOLE" the decibel meter can't say "oh that was inaudible, but the other one was this far from a shotgun." Ruins the fun. Because later in court, if the plaintiff repeats the scream, not only with the words, but with the tone, and with the VOLUME, THE COURT HAS TO STOP AND CHECK THE ACOUSTICS, HOW WELL INSULATED IS THIS ROOM, WE CAN'T INTERRUPT THE COURT NEXT DOOR. IS THAT REALLY HOW LOUD HE SAID IT? DECIBELS? METRIC SYSTEM? IF THE JUDGE HAS TO COVER HIS EARS THROUGH THE TESTIMONY, HE WILL HAVE TO FIND A VERY GOOD CLAUSE TO JUSTIFY--I SAID JUSTIFY--THE VERDICT IN FAVOR OF THE DEFENSE [explosives starting went off as I wrote this paragraph].

The basic problem with work from home is that it's digital. Gaslighting requires analog.

(And I have had virtuous bosses, and even the boss who screamed "I AM AN ASSHOLE" into a recorded call center phone call had many virtues. In many ways employees, through their lack of work ethic, bring this upon themselves. But at the same time, he screamed "I AM AN ASSHOLE" into a recorded call center phone call. I'm not sure I disagree or agree with his confession, he said it and what is said is said.)
> The intensity of "else" in an "or else" order matters. Worrying about "the most recent one" is pure sampling bias.

It was a figure of speech, not any kind of "sampling" at all. I don't consider you to have addressed my point.

>That's exactly the problem; the median worst case for working-class white leftists is losing their job. For others, regularly, it's their life.

WTF is a "median worst case"?

You can certainly say: death rates for blacks are higher than whites. But the death rates in the USA are fairly low for any race; while the rates of having your entire life structured around class-imposed labor obligations are practically 100%! For every race!
This extends to a cohort of people living thousands of years, having memories of each other to thousands of years in the past. Plus they all need beds.
No. I do research on the topic and try to come up with the best knowledge I can find. I have citations, where are yours?
I worked at KAD for the first 7 years of my 16 years at Kodak; I was in IT, thought.
But that would track any kind of theft. Most cars do not have that kind of tracking built-in and I would guess that most new cars don't have it either. If you could get the car into a shipping container asap, it might be enough shielding to block GPS or the cell signal for tracking the car and then it's off to some other country where the SIM card won't work before cops could catch up.

Being easy to argue with is quite distinct from being easily brought to argue, or being argumentative about easy things.

Kindness in argumentation means caring more about the right solution than winning. Unfortunately I have to deal with a lot of people who really only want to win, or who will change their basis of argument in order to win, even if it means espousing the view they initially opposed, as if it was their core line of reasoning!

I also deal with people who are only there for the argument. Being devils advocate is a sport for some.
A case that also arises is:

- QA is from a problem domain background

- Dev is from a CS/math background

In that case, you can have:

- QA/Dev riff off each other, and collaborate

- The few individuals in the org that have both become the co-ordinators

I think it's possible to have that same output in mid age. The difference is enthusiasm. It's still novel.

Further one of the games in the Spring Future Games show mentioned they were developed by a small team, using UE5 and AWS Gamelift, in about 9-12 mo.

I think a game in six months is doable with the proper talent. It's not gonna be Elden Ring in scope. But NES Legend of Zelda in 180 days seems possible now.

Tools like Github Copilot & NVidia GauGAN can also assist. But may be a steep research curve before resulting in actual workflow compression ;)
I tend to use fzf for jumping rather than searching. To jump to a single instance you'd just type in some letters from each word and hit enter.

If I wanted all occurrences of lines that match a pattern I'd use vim-grepper (which uses Ag or ripgrep under the hood) and search with a regex.

If you're using Telescope you can use your fuzzy search to find the lines you want then use <C-q> to send them to your quickfix list.

it's not just faster, it's extremely faster. They're achieving results that are better than SOTA in a fraction of the time. Wildly impressive work.
Sure it wouldn't be "inconsistent" to say "the tendency of the rate of profit to fall" is "driving inequality" but I don't think that's actually what anyone is saying here.

Thanks for sharing Nigel Cookes paintings, which also clearly has that retrofuturistic vibe with a sprinkling of psychedelia.
I really appreciated Go for its simple rules. It doesn't need these new features. You just surround the pieces.
The apparent immutability of geography in human time, except when you look "harder"

A case in point is the recent piece on the megaflood of the Mediterranean sea: it may well have entirely filled in a matter of months, from initial breach.

A lot of what chocolatkey said is accurate. Also hi chocolatkey! I really hope manga survives too and I’m happy to see folks like Comikey out there alongside us trying to push the industry forward.

1. Publishers are definitely interested in the foreign market. The issue is that many of them are very conservative about making lots of content available via subscription. They’re used to a traditional a-la-carte model for print and ebooks, and it’s taken years of advocacy from overseas publishers and services to start to convince them that there’s an untapped market that subscriptions can tap into.

2. That leads to the issue of, as you said, comprehensive platforms. chocolatkey is right that getting this is very challenging, for the reasons above. The big publishers are very conservative, and no one wants to be the licensing person who gave away the farm to a foreign startup. That said, we’ve had success with smaller publishers who are more nimble and willing to experiment. We plan to use these partnerships to prove out the model and level up to larger publishers.

3. Non-Japanese comics are on our radar for sure, but like chocolatkey said, that market is very concentrated at the moment so it would be challenging to compete with the big players head-on. Manhwa and webtoons are huge right now, but anime and manga have withstood decades of potential competitors and continue to grow. Fans still want to read Japanese comics and experience the unique stories and perspectives they offer, even if they’re part of a diet of other types of comics.

In general, this is my position to most paying things. There's always some legitimate reason for me to not pay for anything. Honestly, I've done it all my life. I never paid for a single college textbook, for instance. If more people would make paid things that weren't also evil, then maybe they could have my money.

The interesting thing is that the more money you have, the easier this becomes. For instance, with low cash flow, you can't afford an occasional $86 SF parking ticket. But with high cash flow, you can do the math and know that if you can escape every 3 days downtown, you come out ahead just paying the ticket.
I haven’t seen a sane declarative language. I’m pretty sure what I want is an imperative language, especially since that’s already well-understood by the target audience. I’m open to persuasion, but I gave Cue an honest shot but it seemed to regard reuse as an afterthought at best rather than the main problem to solve (I think reuse was possible, but it wasn’t obvious and it seemed like it was only supported by accident).

Another thing I found impressive is how fast Carmack grew in term of technical skills.

In 1989 and 1990 he was still programming Apple ][ tile engine games, which are Ultima spinoffs. Not bad but not a new thing either. Starting from 1991 when he joined Softdisk it took him a few months to figure out smooth horizontal scrolling, and in just a bit more than one year, around late 1992 he managed to go from it to a mature ray casting engine, and you can see his evolution from hovertank to wolfenstein. And it took him another year to go from Wolfenstein to shadow caster to Doom. Quake took longer but it was still impressive considering he has to got it before anyone else solved it.

I mean this guy learns really fast. It's not only the rendering engine remind you, he had to do a lot of other parts of the engine too.
The Essentials of ESD Grounding (1995)
The old rule about having to justify acquiring proprietary services or using proprietary formats disappeared. It was there by decree, so it could vanish from one day to another.

The rules about open formats for data disclosure are written in law, and the decrees about data interchange require open formats too.

As a consequence, the most people-facing roles of governments reverted to old habits (or maybe there were bribes involved, I wouldn't know, but it surely didn't require bribes, those people never stopped using Word for everything), while the more central roles are migrating into web-systems and open formats.
My impression has been similar to the comment sibling to yours, that a lot of attempts at crypto-related applications were somewhat hype based. However, despite the huge amount of noise, some do seem - at least in principle - valuable.

I certainly share a certain level of cynicism towards many crypto applications, but even the likes of OpenSea currently employ people and presumably pay them actual money that they can spend on stuff, in exchange for their time and effort pushing the platform forward as a digital marketplace. That, to me, looks more like creating traditional business value than hype and pyramid schemes.

I'm ambivalent on whether I should consider NFTs "value". On the one hand, the NFT mania has generated quite a bit of commercially-oriented artistic output that likely would not have been created otherwise. But on the other hand, whether "artistic output" is valuable at all in the first place is kinda in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.

So I guess there are two classes of student loans then (regarding interest)? When I went to school there were "Parent Plus" loans (the part in my parents' name) and I don't remember what they called the ones in my name. Both were unsubsidized - i.e. interest accumulation starts on day 1, although accumulated interest is not added to the principal until repayment starts following leaving school (graduation, a break, quit, etc.) for >6 months.

I really don't recall how much I borrowed versus the interest accumulation, but when I refinanced it a year after graduation I borrowed nearly $120k to do it. The early loans (from 2011) were 8% and I think the interest dropped to ~5% for the ones my senior year. I didn't have the money to pay for it directly and neither did my parents considering they had to put 3 kids through school and we lived near the bay area in CA.

Admittedly, I'm a bad example for loan burden because I went into tech and was able to pay them off in 5 years while living comfortably, but the take away is that unless you go into one of the wealthiest professions in the US, the cost is ridiculously high. Sadly, there are plenty of professions important to society which require a ton of education but just aren't that lucrative financially. We're putting pressure on people not to enter those fields.

The other thing that doesn't make sense to me is that after high school you are legally considered an adult. Why should your parents' financial situation have any effect on was kind (if any) aid you get? Say you have a bad relationship with your family, what then?
> The hard part is tweaking the properties of the family of Higgs Bosons so they predict the results of the experiments where the 125GeV and 95GeV are seen, but they don't cause weird results in all the other thousands of experiments where the Higgs Bosons have a negligible effect.

These don’t sound like “risky predictions” at all! We already know everything that the model should output?

Popper is spinning in his grave. And a real theoretical physicist would have been able to tell you “95GeV” before seeing it.
Idk, personally I find wordplay quite punny -- though I almost always try to greet the person who made the pun, and not the pun itself (they're abstract, inanimate concepts, pretty difficult to say "hello!" to)
