Given that in practice, former car commuters don't uniformly decide to all take the train at once, this isn't really a realistic problem. Ramp up service capacity as demand increases. Plenty of global public transit providers have managed to scale to accommodate situations where the vast majority of commuters are in fact using trains (or bus service) as the primary transport to/from work.
Well done and congrats to the Turborepo team on the launch as well as the Vercel merger, which I think is a great thing for the JS ecosystem!

We now have a healthy competition between several JS domain-specific build tools bit.dev, Nx, Turborepo, and Rush. This is in addition to plugins to general purpose monorepo tooling like rules_nodejs (Bazel). I'm looking forward to the seeing the new ideas that come out from the community as this field matures.

However, I feel a bit sad at the state of general purpose build tools (Bazel/Pants/Buck, make, GitHub Actions, Maven, Nix) or cloud-based IDEs (Cloud9, Codespaces). These tools come off as too complex to operate and build on top of such that we, the JS community, seem to be choosing to build JS-specific tooling from scratch instead. There are a huge number of mostly non-JS-specific problems that monorepo tooling eventually needs to solve: distributed build artifact and test result caching, distributed action execution, sandboxing, resource management and queuing, observability, and integration with other CI tools to name a few. I wish somehow we could reorganize around a smaller set of primitives instead of what appears to be reinventing the wheel.

Regardless, I think all of this effort and attention has lent credence to the monorepo thesis, and I'm very excited to see what's next.
2022 just got a little bit better for me! Thank you, Ron.
> DALL-E 2 is not based on GPT-3. Under the hood, it works in two stages. First, it uses OpenAI’s language-model CLIP, which can pair written descriptions with images, to translate the text prompt into an intermediate form that captures the key characteristics that an image should have to match that prompt (according to CLIP). Second, DALL-E 2 runs a type of neural network known as a diffusion model to generate an image that satisfies CLIP.

So, some stages seems to be artificially introduced...

Whatever.

I was in the city all last weekend, in a hotel right on market street, and we walked everywhere (ferry building, chase center, SFDC) and it was safe, pleasant and delightful.

I live just outside the city and have for 12 years and while there is plenty of room for improvement, it’s always a joy to be there.

I love cities and I love SF in particular.

Dear Zas Editor creator:

Good on you for creating something that solves your problems and challenges you intellectually.

Good on you for putting yourself out there by making it public.

Good on you and for making your efforts sustainable by charging real money for it.

Good on you for taking the first step, and shipping before it's "perfect".

Good on you for taking feedback graciously.
You can install either one.

You're choosing not to. However I do agree, that is idiotic text to include.
As someone not in FAANG, I was super-interested in their remote option, since it'd have been much more like that 30% cut (for me) than a 70% cut—until I saw the weird "term of service" limitation. Half the point of taking a government job is the retirement, and stable health benefits et c. over the long haul! Taking that out of the equation ruins the value prop.

I don't understand anything about this, or even basic physics, but I clicked on one of the videos on the page and the speaker used the terms "reversible dynamics" and "quantum" so I think you might be right?

Timestamp is 00:00-02:15 in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go2EO9l_L3o

From one of the talks linked at the bottom, titled:

"Interview with Maria Violaris. A short introduction to Constructor Theory’s application to irreversibility in homogeneisation machines."

Sorry for poor punctuation, I copy-pasted from YouTube's transcript:

[INTERVIEWER] what does it mean that the dynamical laws of physics are time reversible and
specifically what does this mean in the context of quantum physics?

[RESEARCHER] yeah so the the dynamical laws of physics being reversible is something that we
see not just with quantum physics but also with normal classical physics with
classical mechanics and electromagnetism. there's this property that when we
look at the dynamical laws they don't distinguish between a process happening
forward in time and the process happening backwards in time. so if we look at
any system around us and we zoom into what's happening to the particles, and
then if you played a video of them interacting forwards in time and you reversed
it, the dynamical laws let us allow these interactions to happen both ways and
times.

...

[RESEARCHER] the way that happens in quantum theory specifically is that, any interaction
that's allowed within quantum theory, the reverse interaction is also allowed
within quantum theory. so any process that happens, that we use quantum
mechanics to describe, then we can also use those equations to describe the
reverse process happening. so that's how we see this -- this reversibility is a
property inherent in the laws of quantum mechanics
Wheres the problem with this sentence?
DoH creates a precedent where parents are not able to easily control the internet access for their kids. It is fairly easy to setup the router these days and block porn,gambling,malware,social media. Not to mention the OS level config on devices to use a particular DNS server.

Now, we (parents) need some remote management OSS (like in a corporate world). I want to ensure the config of the laptops,tablets,phones does not use DoH but only the DNS of the PiHole.

DoH is great but I feel the pain.
Every kind of packaging should be from some (very clearly visually distinguishable, e.g. with a mandated specific color) single recyclable/compostable material. No more mixed-material packages of (non-biodegradable) plastic film stuck to cardboard. No more one-off specialty plastics for packaging. No more wrapping sheets of plastic around everything. No more Mylar. No more plastic single-piece candy wrappers. No more loads of plastic tape everywhere. A lot more cardboard / waxed paper food packaging. Etc. And vendors should pay whatever the full lifecycle of their products/packaging costs.

It should be possible for every consumer to easily clean and sort their waste into a relatively small number of bins, or for a recycling sorting center to easily sort mixed-stream waste into the appropriate homogeneous categories. Everything that can’t be easily sorted should be required to be biodegradable.
Multichannel audio when you try to use official means is so awful that it makes me laugh. It's like they don't want you using it considering the amount of hoops you have to hop through.

From personal experience you might encounter how:

* Your PC is not "certified"

* You haven't installed some (potentially paid) extension

* You have the extension but it isn't picked up by the streaming service

* Your streaming service doesn't support your OS

* Your media player can't do passtrough

* Your media player can do passtrough but nothing else on your system can (e.g. games)

* Your soundcard manufacturer didn't pay for the license to allow the previous point (and your OS's audio stack is too legacy to hack it in)

* Your media player can't downmix properly

* The cable you have is incompatible

* The cable you have is too compatible (causing the wrong output to be picked automatically)

* Your GPU drivers are wrong

* The default sampling rate of your sound card causes occasional crackling

* Your TV can't proxy audio from some inputs to external speakers

* Your TV doesn't recognize some formats from some inputs

* Your TV can't downmix

I *wish* I were kidding, it really is that bad.

In the end you pirate your content and output analog 5.1 straight to the speakers, it's cheaper, easier and significantly more reliable.

> You are a complete badass. That is one hell of an inspiring story. Congratulations.

Hah! Thanks! But I wish. This was just to get an ordinary job. I don’t even feel like I’m near the upper quartile of performance yet. There are many stories other than mine, some more heroic. Persistence in the face of adversity has been considered virtuous since before antiquity.

Many decades ago someone pointed out to me that networking was not just adding contacts, it was also about connecting over solving similar problems and sharing inspiration and tips. The more the merrier.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I think around December there was quite a lot of "buzz" around all kinds of Web3 - mostly NFT - topics. I also think that more people are waking up to the fact that the concept is just too outlandish for a normal person to grasp on a technical level, and a complete ponzi scheme on the other side of the coin.

How many elections have you observed? Do you know where your county's central count (tabulation) is done? What mfg and vendors does your county use? Have you worked an election? Have you attended any canvasing boards and certification meetings?

Preaching to the choir.

Correct. But this Truth in no way minimizes the numerous other legitimate concerns with election administration in the USA.

> ... nearly half of the US electorate doubted

Everyone deserves confidence in our elections. We all have concerns. And democracy is not a team sport. We all lose when elections are not free and fair.

I'd be far more sympathetic to your concerns if I had any reason to believe they were sincere. Which you could begin to demonstrate by acknowledging, and perhaps even agreeing with, some of the other concerns.
I for one have learned through a lot of these over-hyped (and fraudulent) companies that when the public thinks something sounds impossible/highly infeasible, but the VCs swear there's something there, it's *much* more likely that the VC is buying into hype without doing sufficient research than it is that they know something that a generally intelligent public doesn't.
The place where this game is played is the two-dimensional torus (exactly like in asteroids), since the vertical and horizontal limits are connected. I think it's a nice way to get intuitions about the torus!
If the trash was sorted so we buried "caches" of plastic separate from chemicals, cardboard, electronics, etc I think there is some short term sense here. My issue with landfills is that mixing all that stuff into a big pile in the ground just makes more useless for the future. I believe that future us might find a way to make use of some of these types of waste if they were separated and easy to get back. To put it another way, at least make it as easy as possible for the future to try to fix this if we must be so wasteful.
“Removing” is more precise though.
That's 100% true in the abstract sense that meaning is conventional/contextual, but that doesn't mean all conventions are equally intuitive.

The rule "Top means stop, bottom means go" is specific to traffic light context. The meaning of the word "Stop" is much broader as it is used in more contexts. (Of course, some people can't read, which creates a bunch of other problems).

Maybe a better way to illustrate my point: I think traffic light are better at highlighting the problem of how to properly do semantic redundancy than at actually solving that problem (and that this is in part because colors are not accessible).

FYI, I'm not some kind of accessibility zealot, I think it's just an interesting design problem.
I've been thinking about tax payer funded public technology infrastructure recently with all the posts about the next google / improving web search. Why couldn't we have a tax payer funded but fully independent office that creates essential online services such as web search?

I suppose the main argument against it might be privacy concerns or censorship / propaganda. But with no commercial interests I think privacy would be better protected. As for censorship / propaganda - the BBC manages to stay pretty neutral in the UK.
I worked on server power efficiency for ten years and I don't think it's too bad. It's true that people are doing vastly more with computers than we used to and thus more energy is being consumed, but efficiency has also increased. Total energy consumption per capita is flat or going down in the developed world. Mainstream laptops and phones get better battery life than ever before yet batteries have gotten smaller. In the cloud, there's a correlation between cost and resource consumption so incentives to reduce cost also reduce energy.
One should remember that the comparison shouldn't necessarily be between burning trash and digging it down, so long as anything else would be burned instead of the trash, for energy. And that's (unfortunately) still the case at least some parts of the year for Sweden, i.e. that the renewable and nuclear doesn't completely cover the electricity/heating needs.

So the comparison in that situation is between on the one hand to burn trash, and on the other hand putting thash in a landfill and then burning fossil fuels.
I think the current cutoff is something like 7 years. So if you haven't used it within 7 years you are good (used to be 10, IIRC, and before that lifetime but that's been 20 years or so since that was true, I think). But this is for your background check/security clearance paperwork, I think it's a checkbox like "Have you used marijuana within the last X years? [check yes or no]". If you aren't going for an actual secret (or higher) clearance then the background check is very cursory (check financial records and criminal records, verify education and listed addresses for the reported period).

EDIT: Also, in almost all clearance paperwork you only report back to age 18. So if you're a recent graduate (what this seems to be for) at around age 22-23, and you stopped after high school you likely wouldn't have to report anything at all.

Note that this is a pretty useless visualization. The dots are just shown traveling at a constant speed with a little randomization (note how it takes until halfway through the video for dots to start showing up in the Northeast -- the travel difference of CA->NY vs CA->TX is not measured in years unless these folks are walking).

In addition, the visualization makes it look like some mass exodus, but for the time frame covered, California grew in population (until 2021, where there was a whopping... .46% population loss -- the decimal place is not an error, it is less than 1%).

In the mid-2000s when I lived there the city had a policy of not actively disrupting homeless encampments. There was a very well-known encampment located under the I-5 overpass just south of downtown called "The Jungle" [0]. SPD was prohibited from clearing it out and was only authorized to respond to reports of violent crimes. Not theft, drugs, prostitution, public inebriation, etc.

Occasionally, it seemed maybe once per year, they would actually get a task force to go sweep it out. But that was mostly only in response to outrage from residents of the adjacent Beacon Hill neighborhood. And then they would go back to ignoring it. And a month later the whole camp was back.

This is just one anecdotal example of Seattle's long history of indifference, even tolerance, of "shanty towns" and homeless camps. I don't know how it is now, but King County in general used to be littered with these things and people just seemed to think it was normal.

It is absolutely _not_ normal.

NixOS might solve dependency issues but it doesn't provide isolation. Currently in a one-user system every app has access to all of user's data and hardware serial numbers. And Linux was not built with a principle of minimum privileges in mind, so for example a PDF viewer can read browser cookies or stored passwords.
My favourite less-known GitHub feature is adding `.keys` or `.gpg` to a username will return the user's public SSH keys (or GPG keys).

The mass in their result is 80433.5±9.4 MeV/c^2. The result of the experiment is a Gaussian like distribution. If you consider a Gaussian distribution with μ=80433.5 and σ=9.4, the probability to get a result that is less than 0 is 4E-15899105.

I filled this widget https://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=53fa34c5c66...

And got this result https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=mean%3D%5B%2F%2Fnumber%...

Note in the graphic that σ is 10000 smaller than μ so the probability to get a negative result is almost zero and you can just ignore it.
It is, if demand for the services keeps up with the expanded capacity. Pay can be higher without risking demand destruction due to high costs. If demand doesn’t keep up, then sure, wages could even be lower than today. But I suspect if we expand capacity, growth in demand for shipping will make up for it.

To be frank, I believe that's mostly thanks to the work put into it because of the Librem 5 project and related initiatives. Before that, GNOME didn't really work all that well on touchscreens at all. 2014 GNOME felt like it would work well on a tablet, but it didn't - as you noted, it took some time to make it work.

The current system also incentivize quid pro quo via revolving door for high level government employees. You accept under market pay with the government, but expect to be repaid for favors to the governed entities by taking a job with them afterwards. Or selling your services to them.

From your own article:

> In effect, by the time it took a SAM system could lock onto an SR-71 traveling at Mach 3 and launch a missile, the Blackbird was already moving beyond the effective range of the missile.

It wasn't purely faster than the missiles, it was fast enough to get out of range of radar and tracking for ground based missiles and beyond the effective range of the missile before it could reach the jet. Fired from an already moving jet at altitude missiles would have a longer effective range as it would spend less fuel getting to speed and gaining altitude.

10% of France's population is Muslim and usually comes from regions that were under direct and brutal French rule not even half a century ago. The Algerian war of independence killed 100 000's of Algerians. There are huge racial ssues in france, it's just that they are swept under the rug or blamed on the minorities themselves.

If the US had a similar policy/attitude towards minorities & the historic prejudice they face, you probably wouldnt even have a debate around the racial implications of voting laws. The minority is expected to step up and do the effort even if it's unfair.

It is interesting that you said that history cannot be dismissed right after you basically dismissed the historical implications of French policies because... it's just the past and what happened before doesn't really matter?
Same way as Apple isn't obligated to make their hardware open we're not obligated to abstain from criticism.
Yeah, there is definitely something to be said for that. There is also the feeling though of knowing you afford a house, have a family with kids, and put them through college. So, there is sort of a balance here. Realistically, I guess you can have both, spend a few years there building your career then jump over to the private sector.
