Indeed, that's what I was alluding to.

Given the right infrastructure, we can probably scale cities up to incredible populations.

Instead, we stopped building that infrastructure, and everyone started commuting by car. Then we wonder why cities are struggling to expand and usefully located housing has become so expensive.

We're trying to watch 4K YouTube over 28.8k dialup, and wondering why it's buffering all the time.
Many Europeans (including my aunt&uncle in Germany) rent for decades without any similar concerns about stability because the landlording laws are written better. And tenants can and do have their own kitchens and other improvements that are typically "perks" reserved for homeowners here.

Renting has a bad name in North America because it is associated with insecurity, low-income situation, exploitation, etc.

But in reality most people here are just paying rent to the bank. Housing prices in southern Ontario are so high that there's no way most of these people will ever truly "own" their home outright.
If it had been a one off migration we might have done the same, but since the end goal was Hetzner from the start, and that meant their architecture needed to handle the HA piece anyway, and served as nice validation we really could fail over without anything going down.
Maybe you can pipe a username and password, or maybe an ssh publickey, into the ssh file and it will create that user?

I wouldn’t be too worried, there will likely be a solution for “power users” who use the ssh file.

You should give Evil a try, people say it's much better than Viper. At the very least Evil emulates Vim, while Viper just emulates vi.
Maybe they are just not running them?

There are a lot of military experts saying that they see baffling examples of incompetence from the Russian army in this war, failing at really basic stuff.

I'm no military expert, but I've seen Russian infantry videos where they are basically running around like headless chickens as the saying goes, like they received no training at all.
What works for me is "accepting myself".

Accepting myself meant accepting the universe. Even the parts I hated. The suffering. I didn't have to love it all, I just had to accept the balance.

This has helped me be at peace. Once I am at peace, I can be creative.

Yeah, gaming on Linux is getting better, but Windows "just works" as you said.

Why? It's an important question to have data on. It's essential to designing neighborhoods

> The solution has always been to physically isolate pedestrian traffic from vehicles at anything above trivial speeds

How in residential roads? By installing overpasses everywhere (they suck for pedestrian traffic and accessibility), installing traffic lights everywhere (they're already way to common in America and really suck for traffic flow) or do the same thing other countries have done, which is to slow drivers down (by design & by law) in residential roads.

The first two options are also pretty expensive, can take a lot of land and many counties already suffer financially from their road infrastructure.

In general, roads with speed limits above 30mph are not common inside urban environments in germany (with quite a few exceptions, especially for large arteries, which are often being put underground or getting their speeds reduced).

Installing sidewalks more commonly in the US would already be great, but this data is from germany, where a street without a sidewalk is an uncommon (although not totally rare) occurrence.

Having >30mph traffic inside urban areas is mostly stupid. It increases land use, costs, discourages anything other than car use and is really dangerous. There should be at most only a handful of roads with higher speeds in cities with >500.000 people.

> US pedestrian traffic is nonexistent

There are somewhat obvious reasons for that, among them hostile road design & high speeds. It's close to suicide to try to walk anywhere in many places in the US.

> So low even the cops don’t really enforce them

I don't know if you've looked at other countries, but enforcing speed limits, especially in such a way to act as an effective deterrent, isn't commonly done (with exceptions like switzerland).

Regarding the highways: That's the reason I've searched for data in the US regarding the change of the speed limit from 55mph to ~65mph, which has a very significant (but not as large as in residential roads) effect. I can't imagine further increasing it not having a similar effect. That also shows that the speed limit does have a somewhat large effect on travel speed (at least in the top end), because otherwise there wouldn't be that many issues.

I'd also be interested in changes for the average travel speed in the US, because it doesn't increase as much as you'd think in the >100km/h in many european places, even without significant amounts of speeding, due to cars scaling really badly at density with higher speeds.

I agree, functional colors are not a solution that work for everyone, and also requires a lot of diligence and restraint to not turn into a birthday cake mess (something harder for large corps like reddit)

> really struggle with the sort of tiny buttons shown in this GUI

It's hard to develop a UI that works for touch and doesn't look clumsy when you've got a mouse. The solution we use here is to visually size the buttons for desktop, but have an invisible padding around them be clickable

The way we address this is to show your comment appended to the comments list, or to show your post added to your journal. In this case we're optimizing for the joy that comes from the immediate feedback of I pushed submit and now my content is real.

There's def room for more fun florishes in some apps like confetti etc when you do something, but those are a better fit for games or for rarer interactions imo (ideally leaving comments is a common action that some will do multiple times a day)

It reaks of the same arguement that DHH made about "i hate unit tests because I'm testing getters and setters" (From DHH's point.. yes it's tedious and unit tests on getters/setters are low signal.. but that's a defect in the langauge not with testing)

The author is coming from Linux. Given that, I'm surprised that they don't have more complaints about the blatantly user-hostile stuff that Windows does, as opposed to user interface experience/patterns.

They don't mention the Windows 11 forced-cloud-account requirement, but that's because they got a Windows 10 laptop. Lots of their other complaints (GUI tools instead of command-line, environment variables, software installation) are incidental or the result of different design paths. They mention the forced restarts, but that's about it.

I'm surprised they don't mention the stuff that Linux users (and power users who actually care about controlling their device) usually get upset about. Why not talk about the awful, slow start menu rework with its web-search-by-default? Cortana? Installation process full of dark patterns? Telemetry? Windows Hello? Dark patterns meant to trick you into using Edge? Windows Defender automatically turning itself on after you disable it?
Obviously batteries are not right for utility storage. Even mentioning batteries in this context means you are not seriously engaged. If you really think we don't have good storage options that scale, you just haven't been paying attention.

Building nukes does not get us there faster, because it takes many years to even start displacing fossil fuels, and then it costs so much you get only a small fraction of the power renewables would produce--provided it ends up producing any power at all, which they often do not.
I think you misread what I said, or maybe didn't read the post I was replying to. I was pointing out that flat files have a problem with truncation; and that SQLite, despite being a very different thing than an append-only text file, can be effectively used as "an append only text file, but ACID." My question on how the GP poster feels about SQLite, is down to SQLite being the obvious solution to a problem I wasn't sure they realized they had — but also potentially still being "too many dependencies" for them.
Cellular automata can be Turing complete, so they cover at least the entire range of a neural net, and more if it's not recurrent.
>My experience has been that companies who will customize integrations for you have poorly designed products. By that, I mean, when we ask for a feature, and they bring on an engineer who does some requirements gathering then comes back with some invisible solution. That's a major redflag.

> once I identified that as the ultimate source of enjoyment and a lacking feature I organically lost interest.

This is a very good point. I'm from the "Inception School of Change", in that change only comes from within. You "need to go deeper" and find the root cause of your conflict, and don't try to change it. Just seeing it is the change you need, the rest follows organically. The question is the answer.
I remember this well. At the time even the scientists involved didn’t think they’d broken the speed of light.

A lot of news publications still ran with the headline that physics had been broken though, because that generates more newspaper sales / ad revenue.
You could also "overclock" them to run at higher refresh rates (frame rates, hz) depending on the resolution. The top CRT's were blowing away LCD's for many, many years. Good color, higher refresh, good dynamic range, etc etc. Those 21" CRT's were massive but I held onto my second hand one for as long as I could. I remember getting the VGA adapter for the Dreamcast and it looked damn good on that CRT!
You go where the readers are, not where the best author UX is. The draw of Twitter is that your random thought can be forced upon millions of people ("the algorithm"), and you get feedback like "31,000 people gave you a <3". You aren't going to get that anywhere else.

- Webcam on MacBook Pro (some dude reverse engineered it but I packaged it into dkms .deb so I didn't have to compile every time I updated the kernel)

- vpn through company firewall (which didn't support Linux, and wasn't openvpn compatible, took absolutely ages to get it working)

SGI was a key part of some of the most iconic early games (even Nintendo used them!) There isn't much of an emulation scene, probably because of how specialized they were, the weird architecture, and the diversity of workstations. And lots of the old machines were just tossed after they became obsolete. It's a huge shame from a preservation point of view.

Well, sure, but you can just read and write JSON blobs to a single-column table in SQLite. See also, "SQLite makes a better BLOB store than the filesystem does" (https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html)
Oh man the memories of this time. Around 97-98 was when workstations were on the way out and workstation cards were on the way in, but regardless these SGI boxes were just so lustworthy - the style, the performance, the otherness and clear superiority in all dimensions to my lowly hacked together PC.

I was just a teen getting into 3D animation & game design in 1998, and since I couldn't ask my parents to mortgage the house to buy one, I wound up picking up a workstation card instead - a footlong Dynamic Pictures Oxygen 402 with 32mb ram and four 3dlabs chips - for a much more reasonable $750 used. I think about a year and a half before these went for $4k new, that was the pace of 3d innovation at the time. It suited me really well to learn Softimage 3D on until I got a job at Pandemic Studios as an artist/designer. Even this beast of a workstation card couldn't run Quake without errors though, there was still a separation of functionality between consumer 3D accelerators like 3dfx and the $1k+ workstation ones.

My reaction to this is... if you're writing tests for pointless things to test.. it means that your testing framework/approach may not be giving you more of what you need... or it could be a defect in the language.

In Unit testing, you should only be testing the code you wrote. (Contract testing is more of an assurance test) In Java you have to write unit tests for your getters and setters because they might do more than what you expected (as that's within the realm of possiblity) If you find yourself writting getters or setter tests .. you should be looking into a better language like Groovy, Scala that do it for you, or something like Lombok or Records in later JDKs.

I would love to understand the circumstances of the second video (the one on the Commandos455 channel).

Not the technical failure, that is clear enough but the role and reaction of the crowd the camera is in. They seem to be wearing green fatigues so one would think they are soldiers… but they are all so unorganised? I understand that when a missile falls back one would swear or shout as an involuntary reaction, but they seem more like a partying higschool group than professionals at work.

The cherry on top is the redheaded girl who seems to have started to leave without her coat and someone brings it after her. Sadly I don’t speak the language.

I’m wondering is this maybe a high school group on a military themed day trip? Or I’m just massively overestimating the professionalism of soldiers? I would be curious if anyone has any insight into that video.
Even if those “citizens” are massively capitalized corps seeking returns on their investments? Who cares if they are domestic or foreign (and if foreign becomes difficult - they’ll just open a subsidiary).

I don’t mean to single you out specifically, there other posts that seem oddly similar.

Anyway, I think there’s a big distinction between immigrants (who cease to be immigrants at some point, how many years does it take in your opinion by the way? Who is more worthy of being helped to buy a home - a immigrant who came to the country 30 years ago, or a natural-born 25 year-old citizen?… but I digress.) and investment real estate that requires an intervention.

Let’s say we put a huge tax on all real estate that isn’t a primary residence, I am all for making it super unprofitable to hold so that rents cannot cover the expense - to force all these REITs having to fire-sale their holdings to people who want to live in them.
I didn’t bring up Three Mile Island to argue that enhanced safety standards back then would have prevented the partial meltdown. I brought it up to demonstrate that it caused a shift in policy which resulted in slow-down in reactor build-up. Three Mile Island happened despite the safety standards at the time. We don’t know the probability distribution of a nuclear meltdown but we can safely assume that it is a function of relevant safety standards and a total number of reactors. USA decided to mitigate the risk by both limiting the growth of new reactors and increasing the standard. This was a logical choice. If USA had done neither other accidents would be happening now with greater probability then it did in the 1970s.

I've tried AS for a while but then just learned Rust. The wasm ecosystem is a lot more mature on Rust (probably the best of all languages) so I'm glad i'v learned it. AS syntax looks like TS, but under the hood it's another language with a lot of open problems like testing, sending data back and forth between wasm and js. AS supports operator overloading, but only for for values of the same time, like Vector * Vector, but not BiVector * Vector, and Rust does.

Arrogance is not a flaw as far as public perception is concerned. Look at actors, sports personalities, and musicians; however, in this case, we have someone who is working on his cockamamie theories without the support of the scientific community, and the arrogance just wraps everything up in an awful package.

It is a shame because Stephen Wolfram is immensely gifted and has already achieved what many of us in the tech world can only dream about. Mathematica, despite all its flaws, is a fantastic piece of software. Wolfram has no need to scream "I've revolutionized physics!" to the four winds. It's tragic to see an exceptional mind descend into madness.

Yeah for sure. I think even senior leaders forget the team culture/context piece, and try to scale up too fast because they are used to it in their current orgs or previous companies.

If you have a 500 person org that has operated for years you can probably add 10%-20% new people each year without it breaking too bad. But it can be very hard to build a complete function from 0 to 100 people within a year because there is no infra, culture or understanding how things work. The new people cannot be absorbed/aligned because there is no central gravity so people easily end up pulling different directions and spending their time on internal coordination vs actual useful output.

Aside from a centralized, trusted packge archives, with signed packages and vetting, and secure downloads and verification, one difference is that with individual install.exe's - that installer can do whatever it wants. Windows package managers are just a facade over this and just run the installer for you.

An actual Package Manager _is_ the installer - they are part of the OS and know how to correctly install and fully uninstall things. Someone else in this thread wrote a nice summary of this aspect here: https://jmmv.dev/2022/03/a-year-on-windows-winget.html#unins...
This part is mostly true with MSI's, they're just a package format like .deb or .rpm - they just don't have any of the other infrastructure around them.

> It does in fact centralize the update flow, but that's only beneficial when you update everything at once, which I don't have any reason to be doing: either I want it on latest, with the only interruption being not quite yet, or I don't want it updating at all

Having this all centralized is actually really nice, so I wouldn't discount that. If you want to pin a package at a particular version, you can and the package manager will leave it alone. If you don't want things updated yet, just don't run the update yet.
