I love the K-Jetronic mechanical injection system in my '83 SAAB -- only because I've never had to mess with it very much. Plus, unlike a lot of the more obscure things on that car, the K-Jet system was also used on VWs, Porsches, and Mercedes, so there's a lot of info out there.

A lot of this article rings true for cars I've had (and some I still have) but I tend toward cars that are simpler mechanically and tend to fail more fundamentally: the keys all lock fine but the suspension mounts all rust out. This year has been an exercise in chasing leaks (gas, brake fluid, coolant, and now ATF) between my two daily classics. All I need is power steering fluid and I can complete the whole set!
Your argument is wrong, but more saliently, is simply not in line with the data of thousands and thousands of cases. Judges on the "opposite" sides of the political spectrum disagree just ~30% of the time. This shows that law is interpreted -- by smart, well-educated, professional justices -- very similarly across the board.
You're definitely stretching here. I could just as easily argue that "all of main memory" is the output of any function. Therefore every function is a pure function, and C is a function language. Using your definition, the concept of functional programming is meaningless.

Main memory is state. Registers and cache are state. The entire purpose of the CPU is to mutate state.

"Hosting SQLite Databases on GitHub Pages" (2021) re: sql.js-httpvfs, DuckDB https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28021766

[edit] TIL the MS ODBC 4.0 spec is MIT Licensed, on GitHub , and supports ~challenge/response token auth: "3.2.2 Web-based Authentication Flow with SQLBrowseConnect" https://github.com/microsoft/ODBC-Specification/blob/master/...

> Applications that are unable to allow drivers to pop up dialogs can call SQLBrowseConnect to connect to the service.

> SQLBrowseConnect provides an iterative dialog between the driver and the application where the application passes in an initial input connection string. If the connection string contains sufficient information to connect, the driver responds with SQL_SUCCESS and an output connection string containing the complete set of connection attributes used.

> If the initial input connection string does not contain sufficient information to connect to the source, the driver responds with SQL_NEED_DATA and an output connection string specifying informational attributes for the application (such as the authorization url) as well as required attributes to be specified in a subsequent call to SQLBrowseConnect. Attribute names returned by SQLBrowseConnect may include a colon followed by a localized identifier, and the value of the requested attribute is either a single question mark or a comma-separated list of valid values (optionally including localized identifiers) enclosed in curly braces. Optional attributes are returned preceded with an asterix (*).

> In a Web-based authentication scenario, if SQLBrowseConnect is called with an input connection string containing an access token that has not expired, along with any other required properties, no additional information should be required. If the access token has expired and the connection string contains a refresh token, the driver attempts to refresh the connection using the supplied refresh token.

Also TIL ODBC 4.0 supports: https://github.com/microsoft/ODBC-Specification :

> Semi-structured data – Tables whose schema may not be defined or may change on a row-by-row basis

> Hierarchical Data – Data with nested structure (structured fields, lists)

> Web Authentication model

Daniel Gross: Why Energy Is the Best Predictor of Talent
More farmers are doing this. In The Netherlands, where I'm from, there are EU subsidies to help farmers cover these costs.

And all farmers I know gladly use this. They feel "forced" to go for highest, short-term economic incentives and forego all the 40+ year planning that farmers used to do. But they all know this long-term planning very well, because it's what their parents did in order to pass down the farms to the current generation. Many farmers know that what they do is bad in the long term, but cannot afford to turn around.

There obviously will always be farmers who then pocket the money and sow the cheapest stuff that checks all boxes for the subsidies. But many farmers feel releived that they are asked and rewarded to care for our communal nature.
Yeah I've tried that route but the lack of reviews and difficulty finding usually ends up not working out. Sonder has expanded, but has fairly mixed reviews whenever I chase them down. It does seem promising though so I do continue to include it in my searches, it just hasn't been able to provide a great solution yet for what I've been looking for.

Hah, it would be great to set the pi back a bit and cut the top off an old floppy disk to turn it into a caddy that seats with the card and pushes it back into the pi. When in use it would look like a disk is loaded. Perhaps you could even salvage enough of the disk and ejection mechanism to make it pop out with a button press too.

immutability is amazing. you can make assumptions about the data that you have received, it's friendly to caching, it's friendly to crashes, it's very easy to reason about.

it's even more amazing when you enter a territory of multithreading/multi processor.
I'd say a proper union is efficient and useful enough that employees who are free to choose whether to join or not mostly choose to join of their own free will. If you have to force people to join, then maybe it's not actually that great. Or alternatively, it has less incentive to stay efficient and useful and police itself if everyone is forced to join.
I'm still not seeing what actually causes the US unions to shrink. The per-employee healthcare costs exist, of course, but that's a problem for companies without unions too.
The parent comment really isn't at all descriptive of actual reality, somebody could really come away with the wrong impression reading it.

It's misleading to consider unions in other countries like the Nordics as anything other than much stronger and more powerful. They have almost universal membership, engage in sectoral bargaining, set minimum wages, run important parts the welfare state, and sit on company boards. It's often noted that the Nordics don't have legal minimum wages - this is because industrial bargaining agreements that set minimum wages make this unnecessary because they cover ~all workers.

In countries where union membership is declining (US and other anglo countries particularly), membership rates are low and optional, there's little sectoral bargaining, most industrial action is essentially outlawed. Sympathy and wildcat strikes are entirely illegal, and in Australia you cannot strike without prior permission from a government body.
I never said anything was bad. I don’t worry about 5G at all, you’re projecting an argument I’m not making.

I just said there’s nuance to the discussion (nuance which you’re apparently not seeing), and I'm not a crystal worshipping hippie.
I just want to point out that although BOTW is perhaps the most recent example of a widely lauded (though rightly criticized as well) expansive open world, it is in no way the only or even the primary inspiration that Elden Ring draws on. Yes, it has crafting, dungeons and long vistas. But in that sense, Skyrim is equally valid. Heck, even GTA games fill most of those criteria. And if you're going for sheer quality of exploration over quantity, RDR2 for instance was a far more technically and aesthetically impressive game than BOTW.

So I guess all-in-all I agree with your thesis though. Elden Ring does seem to have managed to leave the worst aspects of previous games while inviting the best ideas along for the ride. Add to that the most beautifully crafted world FROM has ever made and you have something that simply exudes GOAT.
My experience with private schools where the teachers aren't unionized suggests the non-unionized situation can be even more fraught. Chaotic, manipulative principals, skeevy board members, low pay in exchange for "prestige", etc.
X11 supports fractional DPI just fine, and Android, Windows, and even the web handle it fine.

If I zoom to 150% on a website, how wide will a 1px line be?

PDF handles that fine, the web handles it fine, Android handles it fine.

It's only in recent years that suddenly this has become an issue that "can't" be solved.

I honestly don't care if regular desktop apps waste performance, as long as Qt, Android, Electron, games etc are just rendered at the fractional resolution properly.
The IDE integrations bit is the most difficult thing for me; there was a fossil plugin for Jetbrains IDEs/IntelliJ, but it stopped being maintained, I maintained it a bit, but a large breaking change meant I didn't have enough time to keep it up, so I had to migrate away. I love fossil, but some things are difficult without a community around it developing the tools for it.
Wow such a coincidence! I recently toyed on such a spec for my shell prompt task manager https://github.com/netgusto/tax (I display it in my prompt and my tmux session bar, it's nice to keep current work in focus)

I'm certainly going to look into implementing the spec.

Some questions/suggestions:

* do you plan support for text unrelated to tasks ?
* do you plan support for sections / nested sections?
* idea suggestion: in tax (linked above) we use markdown bold to notify "focused" tasks and sections, ie the one(s) that should be front and center; ex:
- [ ] **This is a focused task**

> and it is extremely complex and does much more

Who's to say? The interesting bit in this discussion is why the code size is large, and looking in detail what the programs do would be a start.

Of course, one could suppose that using a high-level language makes it easier to write code, hence, more code is going to be written. Or you or I could really conclude anything we want, if we're willing to pretend to know. It would be interesting to know, but that takes work to find out. And I'm a lazy bastard.

PS. not to argue any more :), but I have checked the size of rsync 3.2.3 now, it's 51 Kloc of C code (including the 6300 loc of the included copy of zlib). You'd need to add a cryptographic library, a GUI library, and GUI code to make it a viable replacement for Dropbox, without comparing features. Git annex 8.20210223 is 70 Kloc of Haskell and 9100 loc of JavaScript, but it depends on Git to do its work, which (version 2.30.2) is 327 Kloc of C code and 225 Kloc of sh and Perl code. Thunar 4.16.8 is 73 Kloc of C code, sshfs is 4700 loc and fuse is 22 Kloc of C, openssh is 113 Kloc of C, so maybe you could build a Dropbox replacement in 212 Kloc of C without looking through the feature set. Maybe that's still 4-5 times smaller than the Dropbox client, but your number of 50 Kloc is again off by a factor of 4. :) (I guess one could say that the truth is "somewhere in the middle", looking at those number on a logarithmic scale...)

I'm sure you could also come up with a much smaller implementation, just like you could write a music demo in 256 Bytes[1]. But why would you want to?

Agree, not everything needs a special format or spec. To me, it just obfuscates the core purpose of a to-do list for me, which is to record the bare essentials to remind me of things I need to do, then do them and forget about them. Anything else is just more overhead I don't need.
The Macbook was a fragile piece of shit, much like the iBook that proceeded it...though the iBook wasn't just fragile, it was also a lemon.

Both were built down to a price and it showed, including the creaky, flexing, cheap frame.

Dropping the "cheap, shitty version of a Macbook Pro" line was an excellent decision on Apple's part.
This is all true, but reads funny to me because I've implemented an intentionally vulnerable version of RSA and still had issues getting timing attacks to work on modern hardware (due to lack of sophistication in my approach, I think).

and "slave" apparently comes from "Slav", due to the vast amounts of Slavs that were sold into slavery back in the day. ack!

"servus" historically meant servant as well as slave though, iirc. imo etymology is less important than the current emotional valence of words, though. nobody's thinking of Slavic people being slurred by the word "slave" unless they dive into Merriam-Webster.

Yeah Residence Inn is the most common one I look for as well of this type, though they're not all like this, and the ones that are often aren't price or review competitive, thus it rarely wins out. I do definitely look down these avenues though, and if they were more common or at least consistently highly reviewed (I'll pay a premium for reduced cognitive load if the experience will be reliably positive) I would do them more often, but it's just not common enough to be a reliable solution from what I've found.

Why would any company actually want to do this when they could just get non union labor in any of the thousands of right-to-work cities?
To be fair, Obama was pushing for single payer in 2008 (“Medicare for all”) and took it off the table to try to get some Republicans on board.

And the Sanders/Warren wing of the party is pushing hard for Medicare for all right now. CA is close to implementing a public option.

Hillary Clinton also pushed for healthcare reform while a senator IIRC, and I believe some Republican governors have pushed for sensible reforms too.

In general I think cynicism in politicians is not misplaced when there are lobbyists involved, but on this issue I don’t think blame is symmetrically justified. The red team won’t even let Medicare use its volume purchase bargaining power to negotiate cheaper prices.
Counterintuitive to what? Do you have stories or facts you want to share that argue unions in US are actually comparatively weaker than their European counterparts?

The only thing you illustrated was that you were personally astonished by OP's comment, but I don't think that carries as much weight as you think it does.
yes. there are reasons.

and no, you don't need to go all in. you can make a judgement call and pick and choose what you want to leverage.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as unincorporated territory in Cook County. But consider that each skyscraper downtown is paying millions of dollars a year in taxes. There are a lot of large industrial sites in the city - for example, the factory that makes the Ford Explorer and the supplier park surrounding it - is inside the city of Chicago. It's a huge tax base; not to say that the city is better run than the suburbs or anything. Consider also that there is only 1 fire chief (and his salary and pension) for 2.7 million people, etc. The suburbs aren't sharing their administration staff with other suburbs ;)
