It's really easy to make up justifications for things with enough data.

Many ISPs who implemented low data caps on their services justified it as reasonable because "most people don't use more data than this" which while probably true, also relates to their being punishment for using more data.

Similar arguments can be made for most defaults "well the vast majority doesn't change it so..." while ignoring that those who go outside of the defaults value it highly and are more likely to be unhappy about the lack of options while their opinions get overshadowed by people who don't know there was an option in the first place.

I blame government zoning laws. These prevent entrepreneurs from opening restaurants and markets near to where people live.

In a truly entrepreneurial society, anyone can operate a small business open to the public right out of their house. Not so in the US states/counties I've ever been to.
I used this tool a while back. It was fun since I was also working in Cisco IOS a lot at the time, so it was cool to see similarities in the syntax and to use them on my favorite OS. These days I stick as close to base as possible.

Depending upon circumstances, there's certainly something to be said for spending money/effort to go into a city now and then rather than spending an ongoing premium for living there day to day which may even have certain negatives.
Sadly WaPo article doesn’t mention that the quarterback was killed by a truck.

Mugen along with Don Miguel translations of RPG Maker and 2d fighter maker 95 is how I got into programming. I'm guessing 99% of web developers today probably wanted to be game developers.

All I wanted to do was make Dragon Ball Z games. At the time 1998/1999 there were only Japanese versions of DBZ games as illegal roms. I created a few DBZ characters for Mugen, 2d Fighter maker 2nd and made an RPG maker game.

I used to collaborate with other creators over AIM making characters and other things. Some people would rip sprites and edit them and I would code them. The thought of remote work being a thing now is funny as I was doing remote work when I was 12 - 17 years old

I remember liking Mugen over Fighter Maker at the time because a character could be backed up to a floppy disk where as I had to use my dads zip drive to back up a Fighter Maker character.

Because a car is much more dangerous than a bike and regulated much looser than a bus or a truck. There's a high likelihood on an auto heavy street that as a cyclist I gravely hurt myself or lose my life while the driver only had to pay a fine and or higher insurance. I'd gladly support an alternative where any accident with a cyclist or a pedestrian results in immediate license seizure, but that's even more politically dead in the water than closing a street off from cars in the US. Cars in the US are very lightly regulated heavy machinery.
You can remember that there was a vibrant community of Flash game developers before the demise of Flash (EOL December 2020, the date of its “demise” is debatable). There’s not really a replacement for Flash and the community kind of fragmented.

That said, my impression is that a big chunk of talent from the Flash community went to work on HaXe. These are people who make games and want tools to make game development easier—as opposed to people who get excited about engines, architectural patterns, and programming languages. Just as a general impression, based on people I’ve recognized working with HaXe.
"Daily standups" that become status reports where people drone on for 5 or 10 minutes each are not good experiences. My best managers have been fellow engineers that understand this (and also understand what their reports are actually doing.)

Every time there's some result in physics that doesn't match with the standard model, say, there's a flood of breathless "scientists are wrong!" headlines that make it sound like they're all incompetent bumblers who get embarrassingly shown up as elitist chancers by the "university of life".

In reality, the physicists themselves know the models are incomplete, have painstakingly devised an cutting-edge experiment to probe that uncertainty and are ecstatic that there is more to study and that they have a new clue to follow. Imagine how sad it would be to be a physicist on the day that the Grand Unified Theory is discovered and physics is complete.
It's Time to Build Institutions
> You are paying mortgage + property tax on the pantry space used to store it.

If you have the space anyway, you're not paying any extra to store stuff in it. And it's expensive enough to move that it's not economical to do so just to have the lower payments from 1 fewer square foot.

> Not to mention gas to drive and get it. And vehicle insurance. And car maintenance.

If you stop at the store on the way home from somewhere else that you were going anyway, the additional cost of those things is basically zero.
> Why couldn't you just build transit that's above or below the existing space for cars instead?

It's basically free to paint a lane red and declare that it's only for buses. Tunnels can cost billions per mile.
> Context: I maintain a video annotation tool that is mostly used for marine imaging.

Which one, out of curiosity? I'm just starting to look into this space and interested in knowing what's out there.
Have you never burned yourself cooking? I'm confused at your counterexample.
It's a process that will take 50-100 years+. Like it or not there is no real incentive for people to stop living like they currently do. All you can do is tax fuel/carbon and stop adding car lanes to make people converge closer to the city.

In practice though, this is where remote work can help. Most traffic in a city isn't people going shopping. It's people going to work. If we push for remote work as an alternative, and improve the quality of transit, the situation will improve.
What if the author thinks that "according to science..." means "a statistically significant number of studies on this subject have come to the same conclusion that..."? Like when the media reported that the LHC had confirmed the existence of the higgs boson? It wasn't one study, it was a bunch of studies and experiments over many years that eventually crossed a confidence threshold.
Cities and towns can update their zoning to encourage denser town centres that make walking and cycling viable. That doesn't amount to a radical restructuring of life and increasing dependency on cars, EV or not, is not a way out of the problem of spread out, lifeless towns.

Suburbs are antithetical to good communities and the faster we can develop away from them, the better.
Then you and I disagree about the definition of function colors.

But Zig's language reference is clear: when needed, blue functions are turned into red functions transparently at compile time. What that does is make it seem as though there are no colors. That's why the dichotomy can be exposed at runtime: the compiler can't intervene and turn blue functions into red functions.

No matter how much you say that changes the definition, it still means that blue functions cannot call red functions. The fact that functions are turned into red functions does not magically make the colors disappear; it just hides their existence until it cannot be hidden anymore.

Yeah, 1-2 trips a week with a cargo backpack do the trick, for the person carrying said backpack. Bonus: replaces some gym visits.
Man, the way bike paths, and even sidewalks, get treated in Canada is so frustrating. The city's instructions on shoveling your stretch sidewalk tell you that you must not shovel it I to the road... and then the city snowploughs come by and push a load of snow onto the sidewalk that you've already shovelled.

There were places this winter where the sidewalk was impassable due to several feet deep on compacted "snow boulders" from ploughs. I get that you need to allow car access, but not at the expense of pedestrians being able to walk anywhere.

Cached builds are a thing but actual incremental analysis is a very hard problem. Seemingly unrelated changes a pretty common sources of interesting analyses bailing so you get more spooky action at a distance than you might expect. This gets worse with whole program optimization.

Maybe it was somewhat unique, but when I received my offer to become a PhD student at EMBL in 1986, I wrote my own PhD proposal that was completely unrelated to any work that my supervisor was doing, and only very loosely connected to the work that anyone else was doing at EMBL at that time.

However, the funding of EMBL works fairly differently from most universities, and quite a few other research institutes.
World Population Growth Capacity Ex-Africa Has Peaked
Creativity is not challenged here, because it's human who created all those base materials, all those styles, and all those biases. DALL-E simply picks up and mix those biaes, images, and styles, all based on human instruction. Ideas are all from human here.

The thing is, the hardest part in "creativity" is that one must voluntarily do it. That turned out to be not so easy for computer. (But I would not dare to declare it straight impossible.)
> They had bicycles through most of the 1800s and people generally chose to maintain a horse if they could.

They had something bicCle-like, which was less comfortable with way less bicycle compatible roads.

Cobblestone and hills on a heavy bike without transmission? - Not good. Same with a paved bike path and either a lighter modern bike or even E-Bike? - Smooth riding.

That said: Their are cases where a car is needed, given the right infrastructure that need however can be reduced, so that people can make the choice. Which in turn can create new possibilities for the young, disabled or old, which won't be there in a car centric place.

My food expenses have doubled. My utilities have nearly tripled. It's a crime not to be looking for a new job right now, unless of course you're happy with what you're making.
> I'd gladly support an alternative where any accident with a cyclist or a pedestrian results in immediate license seizure

If I'm going the speed limit, and a pedestrian on the sidewalk 6 inches away from me (because someone decided that narrow lanes are better) decides to step in front of me, not at a crosswalk, avoiding an accident would require me to have a negative reaction time. Are you saying I'd deserve to have my license seized in that case?
Don’t focus too much on numbers… the day we’ll grade EQ we may reconsider what intelligence is.
If you are in a hard market (SF) I would highly recommend stalking. Get a list of buildings you truly like. In SF I had like 10 I would kill to get into. When your about 1-2 months from your lease expiring, start stalking hard: call the managers, talk to people walking into the building, talk to the mail man - anything. Nice SF places rarely have openings. "Oh Mrs. Baskin passed away - we have will have a new listing in about a month". On it, I have my cashiers check, no site needed, my credit report printed, 4 references in hand, I even help the apartment manager carry in her groceries - and I don't mind hearing her stories. There are also a few families that own 20 or so buildings - once you get on their "good list" - you are in.

The places you get are amazing. Clear views of the SF harbor, tucked away in PacHeights, full parking, cheaper rent etc. After doing this for 15 years I knew all the managers of those 10 buildings by name. My friends that "wing it" get sooo screwed. They go through listings, trying to piece if it is a nice place, always getting their initial deposit stolen, application fees swiped, going to open apartments 20 people deep, dealing with large corporate landlords, on and on. Make friends!
Probably because customers aren’t going to malls for a short trip and taking 5-10 mins extra to park isn’t a big deal compared to them going to a small shop for 5 mins and getting out of there.
“If you don’t agree with my position, spend some time listening to my side’s propaganda.” Not Just Bikes and StrongTowns is not where one should go to educate themselves, because those sources are highly, highly biased.
It's more useful to think of it as a sliding scale vs all or nothing. You are right that there just isn't the infrastructure in a lot of places. But we could start small, we could add a bus route, or a bike lane. Maybe that leads to people taking the bike for that errand instead of solely the car, and that's a good thing even if its not 100% car free.
"Backed by science", "according to science" etc is the new marketing buzz-phrase and it's very annoying. I think it's a reaction to the world of conjecture, "alternate facts", and opinion that dominates us thanks to... well basically thanks to 6 years of Trump, I guess.

However whenever I read now "according to science", or something similar I just baulk.
If you can, don't fuck with this shit and use/support open source software.

I agree. One of the great things about Excel is that it’s massively flexible. It’s almost the antithesis of what most development environments want to be. Programming is about considering all the code paths. Spreadsheets are about “what if”.

The flip side of this is that understanding the behaviour of a spreadsheet is generally a specialist job, which is why we have people whose job it is to “run” the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has rules and boundaries and it will stop working if you just start plugging random values into formula cells.
It's a phrase, and everyone understands what it means. Wikipedia isn't the worst here, even though it mangles the grammar:

In summary that has authenticity emanates from an authority.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official#Adjective)

The only problem here is people pretending not to know that language involves ambiguities, figures of speech, and so on.

To expand: in this case, two things are happening simultaneously: first, the author appreciates literature, and is genuinely happy that their intuitive belief that it is something "good" is getting a bit of empirical evidence.

Second, yes, I believe there is a hint of a smirk in the statement, that, if I were to dramatize it, is a comeback at all the STEM students in college that were dismissive of the author's enjoyment of non-non-fiction. It's all in good fun, however, because the article fundamentally rests on a believe in the scientific method, just not to the exclusion of other human endeavors.
It's EU and NATO who fooled Ukraine. Your complains are misplaced.
Not sure what you are looking for but if it helps: more intelligent people tend to be less happy.

The biggest problem with increasing density is noise. Some of it can be solved with better building standards, but that increases cost again.

And in western countries there seems to have been a general erosion of the kind of local level government authority you need to deal with the one household that is a chronic noise problem for the hundreds of people they disturb around them.

These discussions tend to gloss over the fact that more density is going to require tackling antisocial behaviour head on, and local government are neither willing or able to do so.
I wish that were the simple fix, but Houston exists. No zoning laws (I think/read) that would prevent better urban planning.
Strongly linked to economics. More kids is a survival strategy and less kids happen when you can invest more in value producing education and life extension over just having more hands to maintain subsistence existence.

Africa is fixing itself. If we can push back on religious fundamentalism around contraception, if Melinda Gates continues to fund reproductive health initiatives, and if other health and economics work right, then we're on target to a soft(er) landing.

Btw, we'll need those Africans to replace population decline in more economically advanced places. Merkel accepted 1.5m refugees in Germany on both humanitarian and economic grounds, a trend which over the 50+ year window will continue.
There used to be (and I assume still are) a ton of Minecraft, Terraria and Roblox servers like that.

Nothing productive came of anything I saw; it was just a sandbox for griefers.
I've climbed in Canada, Italy, Germany, and Greece (but not a ton in Italy), and it seems like Greece especially has many climbing areas that are hard to access without a 4wd. I traveled around in a rental and bottomed out so many times, but also had to just give up and turn around on several occasions.

It's been a while since I climbed in Italy, but I remember it being pretty similar.

Admittedly, the limited climbing in Germany I did had pretty good parking access.

I suspect there are many European countries whose climbing access is more like Greece though.
I was referring to this part from grandparent:

I'm imagining a few hundred thousand small records when I say small, not 10 GB.
My dream would be that I could take my car to an edge location of a big city with a modern parking structure, where I can of course charge my electric car, and then switch without hassle over to some fast Metro that is going every few minutes.

I have never understood the idea of people who live in the city taking the car within the same big city to do stuff. That just makes no sense in most cases.
> hardly anyone is questioning whether this is a good or legitimate role for those in government to decree and mandate.

That's because it's been discussed and the current status quo is the result. Check out the history of the labor movement.

Without concrete examples it's difficult to say anything useful.
"Surveillance and compelled behavior, the petition reads, “with access to basic resources as a tool of coercion, are ominous. They point toward progression to a dystopian communist Chinese-style ‘social credit’ system.”"

"Canada is a country that is still smarting from the events earlier in the year, when participants in peaceful protests got punished by the government by having their bank accounts frozen, among other punitive measures."
Though, if you go by train, you can use the time more productively than by going by car (at least until autonomous cars).
I have come to know a professor working using her notebook in the train while biking to the train station with the bike, and to the university, too.
People in Denmark don't generally carry a change of clothes if it's raining. And I thought most backpacks were waterproof anyway.

We use rain jackets, ponchos and/or waterproof overtrousers, depending how heavy the rain is. It's generally fairly light here, so my overtrousers don't get much use.

Temperature is not a problem, just add or remove clothing according to the temperature. (Is this not obvious? I sound like my mum when I was 8 years old "it's cold outside, wear a coat!").
To which court are you going to appeal for redress when those rights are not upheld? The UN declaration of human rights is nothing but an aspirational fiction.
You're also (in some cases) allowed to swim in the same rivers as alligators do. Yet that's not a good idea since the alligators make swimming there pretty dangerous. Same goes for riding a bicycle on roads full of reckless car drivers.

This does not explain anything.

The natural end condition of an unregulated market is a monopoly. That is why we need regulation.

So, something is operating to provide implicit regulation. In this case it seems like chaos serves that role. Monopoly relies on a self-ordering property common to most market conditions.
There are loading zones and such but still, how many spaces are going to be like this? What are the odds you roll up and there is a car there already taking advantage of that spot? Now what, you sit on your hands for 14 and a half minutes? Street parking is never a guarantee, and banking on it usually ends in frustration. Getting that convenient spot in the right place right at the right time when you happen to be there circling to park is always a stroke of luck if your area is somewhat busy.
