I suspect that similar to the Asiana 777 at SFO, this will turn out to be autopilot mode confusion on the part of the pilot, coupled with a late charge of instruction from ATC, and failure to monitor the flight path while trying to make the transition.
Totally agree that most of it is animal poop from slacking dog owners. Poop in SF gets a bad rap because SF311 has very open data polices and they misinterpret these reports as being all human feces. NYC collects the same sort of crowdsourced reports from citizens, including feces, but they don't release the data in bulk in a way that lets you zero in on just the feces.

Though its partially SF Gov's fault since for a long time the SF311 data export actually called these reports "human waste/feces" despite most of them being dog poo. I reported this to them and they fixed it but that doesn't stop people with an agenda from pretending its a map of human poop.
ATC needs to be effective for all cultures that fly into that airport. If the new york one so deviates from the norm that it can cause crashes that is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed.

That said I don't have any reason to think it actually does and you didn't supply one either. Are air traffic controllers even normally from the area where they work? Don't they get assigned?

It's First Shaughnessy District. Most historic area of Vancouver and has many heritage protections e.g. a. can't demolish houses built before 1940, b. every change in the exterior have to be approved by a First Shaughnessy Design Committee apart the city.

By many metrics, FDS is one of the best places in the world to have a house in, due to following reasons:

1. Big lot size: Average size Half acre (21k+ sqft). No other world class city has such sized lots in walking distance to the downtown (< 30mins walk, <10min drive).

2. Incredibly safe.

3. Right next to the Granville shop area which is even closer than the downtown (< 10 mins walk). Major develpment happening in nearby Broadway area.

4. 15mins drive to Vancouver International airport.

5. Incredibly safe.

6. 10mins drive to beach

7. 30-40mins drive to skiing. While Vanvouer itself gets snowed in maybe 10 days an year.

8. Other benefits which apply to Vancouver due to being centrally located in Vancouver.
It's interrupted in its path by the viaducts, but the highway begins again to cut through Stanley Park and cross to the North Shore.

Vancouver's not a particularly well-designed city; its lack of a fully through highway is more a circumstance of indecision than design. It's still a city hampered by office districts and bedroom communities, linked with stroads, like many North American cities.

Glad I left.
I can't wait for JWST to look over there!
The eternal sadness is that in part due to that reliance on federal money, we were unable to put real rail infrastructure in as part of the project and could only get Bus-'Rapid'-Transit which led to the mediocre Silver Line.

In some parallel universe Boston is yukking it up with a high frequency train from Roxbury to the South End (along the original elevated Orange line route) to South Station to Seaport to the Airport and I hate them for it. I just know they demolished Central Parking at Logan and built a gleaming rail terminal in its place.
I guess I worded that poorly. I don't mean you whip out some printer paper, write the names of the people you're voting for, and hand it in. Here in the States, you have a list of bubbles to fill in, and an "other" option. I assume that's how it is in most places. I was just making a distinction between "filling in the bubble on paper" and using a computer.
I set Do Not Track (DNT) header on my browser. That is my answer, and any company who asks my consent for tracking cookies anyway is /already/ violating my consent by ignoring my my clear and standard communication.

Anyone who repeatedly askes for consent when boundaries have clearly been established should never be trusted.

So I ask, why would I ever accept?

To get them to stop asking is never the right answer.

That comment is rather pithy, but may be the most useful one of the lot. You can compile 32bit x86 executables on a x86_64 system, this should be one of the first things to try. If this works (try -O0, everything else is just asking for trouble at this stage of your project), your problem is that the interpreter will most likely assume that integers and pointers are the same size and cast freely among them. Fixing that will be ... tedious, at best.

edit: but then the code supports alpha, so it should be 64bit clean...
Macros are probably the best feature IMHO. Unless I'm mistaken, I've not seen a macro recorder as featureful yet so easy/quick to use. I know vim has to have it, but I find it hard to believe I would ever get quick enough to be able to do it.

So simple to put a complex macro together -- I had one today that removed empty lines, did a regex replace, then a straight text replace and some random line manipulation within 2 minutes. You can do it so often and quickly it's basically zero cost.

Condemning Bucha cruelty, EU offers speedy start for Ukraine membership
Electric shocks FTW.
From the article :

"Saying the EU could never match the sacrifice of Ukraine, von der Leyen offered it a speedier start to its bid for bloc membership.

Handing President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a questionnaire which will form a starting point for a decision on membership, she said: "It will not as usual be a matter of years to form this opinion but I think a matter of weeks."

Zelenskiy told the same news conference he would come back with answers in a week."
Russia is also not on the list, nor is Puerto Rico, Yemen, or Cuba. There are many omissions, so while I can't speak to how they decide, it's certainly not singling out Ukraine.

"Working is not anti-human, it is a fundamental component of humanity."

Working is anti-human when that human has no choice but to work or else they become homeless and die in the street. For many, including myself, a job is a means to an end, not an extension of sociality. Apart of being human is understanding that other humans have a different perception of socialization and not being offended when they don't want to join you in small talk.

I was born in the early seventies and I don't find it much of a hassle to spend a couple of seconds looking for the deliberately-deemphasized "reject all cookies" or "reject all but essential cookies" that's usually next to the bright, shiny "accept all" button.

I also have told Safari to "prevent cross-site tracking", and have sone adblock-type stuff going on to help with that.

And yes, I will shrug and find the "reject all" button upon returning to a site if my decision hasn't been tracked because that would be stored in a cookie on another site or whatever.

There is no advantage for me. The advantage is that it's a way for sites to cram in six hundred tracking services they've added for whatever reason, and still comply with the letter of anti-tracking laws. It is annoying and every now and then I miss the days when most sites weren't full of immensely sophisticated garbageware trying to build a profile on their viewers so as to serve them advertising they're more likely to click on.
There aren't many companies with that capability and scale outside of US.

Because then all your edits have to go directly into the file, so you have no real "save" flow unless you make a swap file for every file and then mmap that (which can be an appropriate approach, to a degree). Then all your caching and memory use subject to OS I/O and filesystem concerns, and you can't optimize for specific use. And inserting or deleting the middle of the file means shifting all the bytes after it.

I could think of a reasonable implementation for Linux that would use mmap and fallocate, but it wouldn't "just" be an mmap, as the swap file would still need to represent a rope or a gap buffer or something else of the sort for efficient editing.

Different algorithms do indeed learn from data differently. But the entire purpose of a spam filter is to filter out spam, a word which is defined subjectively. Any spam filter which acts contrary to its users' collective preferences would be considered bugged and broken, regardless of how it decided that, because it would mean it's not doing what it was designed to do, and not learning correctly.
For Gambaryan and Janczewski, the story was utterly typical. IRS-CI agents did shoe-leather detective work, carried guns, and made arrests, just like their FBI and DEA counterparts. But because of the IRS’s dowdy public image, they often found that fellow agents treated them like accountants. “Don’t audit me,” their peers from other law enforcement branches would joke when they were introduced in meetings. Most IRS-CI agents had heard the line enough times that it warranted an instant eye roll.

Reminds me of the postal inspector who blew open the case of two foreign agents with sniper rifles and other weapons impersonating federal officers in Washington DC.

The Secret Service believed their B.S. story about being DHS investigators working on J6 investigations. 4 SS agents apparently took bribes from them, including one who protects the president's wife.

> - Protected bike lanes everywhere.

As an avid biker in Vancouver, I can unfortunately not confirm that. There's a few strategic ones, but it's far from everywhere. https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/map-cycling-vancouver.pdf has the overview. It unfortunately doesn't cover the extended area, but already shows that outside of downtown only a small amount of fully protected lanes exists - like Arbutus Greenway.

I fully understand the discourse; my point is that it's not (Nagel, Chalmers, Searle†, and other substance dualists would agree). We need a breakthrough akin to what analysis was to algebra in neuroscience before we even understand what our brain is doing. Whatever it's doing, it's definitely not what OpenAI implemented.

I wish the popup would link to the actual zoning by-law documents. I haven't read the ones for Vancouver specifically but generally they are pretty readable and interesting.

One minor bug I noticed was the popup title bar color usually matches the map zoning coloring, except for zoning district DD where the title bar color matches CD-1 instead. At first I thought I was misclicking but it is just a display issue.
Well, nurse ends in an e, which is usually a feminine ending.
The two images from the "young Robert Moses" etc bio are cool, but the fact they both have such a similar layout and style, with the same "giant hands" framing that doesn't follow from the prompt in any obvious way, makes me wonder if there's some particular source art that "inspired" both. Couldn't find it on Google or Bing images, though.
1. If someone asked for the reason I don't know it.

1.5. Full disclosure, "shelter" was probably the wrong word because I don't think anyone was sleeping at the church. There were definitely some people eating multiple meals a day there, though. So I don't know if you would call that temporary housing. That makes it even wierder (to me) that they would refuse permanent housing.

2. "Punished" might not quite be the right word here. I remember there was a guy - I think his name was Don - who was very mentally ill and very scary. Well over 6 feet tall and looking absolutely wild, he would roam the streets shouting incoherently at people, usually women. He interacted with one of my friends at the shelter so often they were on a first name basis and several times he would just approach our group screaming at him. He had little sense of his surroundings and would often wander right into oncoming traffic, it was a miracle he live through my time at college.

Whether you think scooping Don up and sticking him in a mental hospital is "saving" him or "punishing him" depends on your worldview, but I lean towards thinking that Don's situation wasn't good for him or anyone else and that someone should have done something. And give his nature, I would expect that to require force...

Lots of comments related to Block revenue wrt Bitcoin that needs some context. Block is making inflated revenue because they're legally required to report buying a Bitcoin for $49.5k and selling for $50k as $50k in revenue, even though their profit will be negligible. Since their bitcoin fees, their gross profit is a much better metric, as how many bitcoins they're skimming, adding to inflated revenue metrics, is meaningless.

Are you a native french speaker? I'm fluent in a couple languages and all but my native one are insanely hard to understand over radio. Even with the special pronunciations there are a lot of nearly indistinguishable sounds in english, and I'm not sure those sounds are even apparent to a non-native speaker who isn't specifically trained in them. It's very possible they are using an equivalent but we can't hear it without some practice.

Yeah, the mediocre Silver Line (which has only become a more obvious "compromise" as the Seaport area has developed). As I understand it, there was also "supposed" to be a new better connection between North Station and South Station which never happened.

Though I shouldn't complain too much. Not that I go into the city a lot but the public transit system, including commuter rail, is pretty good by US standards overall for all its problems.

And parking at Logan is such a mess that I just get driven, expensive as it is. Even economy parking is expensive and it's practically in another state.
I prefer to think of it as either unmet or unsurfaced demand. It's easier to think about the two places where "induced demand" shows up in arguments: traffic and housing.

For traffic and housing there's tons of people who would drive more or live somewhere dense if more roads/housing were provided. The big difference is whether the demand is exhaustible. For roads it's not: you would have to pave all of LA into a freeway system to eliminate traffic. Housing might be different though. Densifying the region around the downtown could outpace the influx of people. The difference is whether trying to exhaust the demand leads to a pleasant collection of neighborhoods or a 60-lane freeway hellscape.
I wish that the US could wholesale implement Germany's electoral system. The Bundestag is approximately 1/2 directly elected seats from the 300 or so districts, and the other 1/2 are proportionally divided among the parties that get more than 5% of the vote nationwide, and they publish their ranked lists ahead of the election. What this means is that a voter can vote for their local representative on a personality or a pragmatic basis ("hmmm... I can tolerate the SPD guy, and I think he has the best shot of beating the CSU guy...") and then has a second vote that they can use for the party that best fits their ideology, with a bit of pragmatism ("the Pirate Party probably won't clear 5%, but the Greens are close enough to me on most issues...")

The 5% thing is a post-WW2 innovation to prevent a small block who just want to tear everything down from getting into the Bundestag and causing chaos. The AfD did manage to get over the hurdle and stay in the last two elections, but can't get too wild - otherwise, they probably won't make that 5%.
My theory is that every trends/fads is divided between two groups: the engaged people and the haters. If you're engaged, no matter the trend, it'll be fun, you'll be part of a community, and part of something bigger than you at some point in time. If you're a hater, you'll just feel bad about the whole thing and won't understand why you can't enjoy simple things in life anymore. I noticed this when Pokemon Go was such a big thing and yet so many people were so b-hurt about it. Just play the damn game and enjoy being part of something while it last. That's the human experience.
I view technical debt as a meta-game. At the beginning of a project you want to take out lots of technical debt. Paper over stuff with easy choices, use other frameworks, try to make something bad that barely works.

A lot of times somewhere in the middle you declare technical debt bankruptcy by moving on to a new project and you never have to pay down any technical debt.

Other times the product grows and scales and you have to manage paying down the technical debt. Here you can even use the cheesy financial advice you hear on the radio about paying down debt. Considering what might be most likely to compound, what debt you might be able to later write off and avoid paying it now.

There is a constant push and pull of how much technical debt to take out, when to pay it down, and when to write it off.
