Honestly not the case where I am. State money only comes if for natural disasters: back when Hurricane Sandy came through, there was state money to replace bridges damaged by the rain volume. Otherwise it's handled at a county but primarily the town (which in NY is a "shire" or "borough" government level between county and city/village).

There's a rotation of road resurfacing that follows a 2-5 year cycle. The key thing with roads in snow country is getting the drainage right - as long as there's no standing or under-road water to freeze, the road won't get frost-heaves which are one of the primary damage sources. So our town crews focus on drainage first and then resurfacing, and then smaller bridges. Larger bridges are generally partly funded by the county and state because of the scope but the one bridge recently replaced was over 50 years old and the new one has a similar expected life.
>"This actually…doesn’t not make sense"

I don't understand what you are referring to when you say "this"; what is "this"? Are you referring to a specific statement by the parent poster, or something described in the OP?

I also don't understand whether the double-negative is intentional (and meant to cancel itself out, and become a positive), or if it is a colloquialism.
I'd actually recommend removing pulseaudio and installing pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber. Pulseaudio is pretty janky with bluetooth on 22.04.
> it seems fatally doomed by how hated the founder is

Having been around the network for a few years now, and having talked up Urbit to countless people of countless different professions, political beliefs, ages, etc, I can confidently say: This isn't true.

It's just that a specific sort of Hacker News/Reddit gets agitated and makes a lot of noise on this subject whenever Urbit gets brought up.

Normal people who just want their digital lives improved aren't interested in these cringe 2010s-era blogosphere political beefs.
>You missed the important point: an artistic object is a concretion of a structure of meanings. It takes a proper intelligence to build that - you need conceptual depth, reflection etc.: you have by definition wait for a GAN.

I didn't miss the point, i'm arguing the point is debatable. There are entire artistic movements whose thesis is to deny the necessity of "meaning" in art, apart perhaps from whatever meaning the viewer imparts to it. If you didn't know some of these works were done by an AI, you would see the 'conceptual depth, reflection, etc.' in them, but that emotional, empathetic connection one has with a work of art is entirely fabricated. These AIs respond to natural language requests in ways that can be indistinguishable from human effort, they pass the Turing Test for creativity without intelligence.

So I think it's valid to question whether art necessarily requires any such thing on the part of the "artist" at all, or if we just believe it does because we're afraid that if creativity can be generated by an algorithm, it's just another sign that we're nothing more than deterministic machines ourselves.
It's possible the tail of the aircraft was just far enough out of the way for the camera to not see it, but still strike the edge of the MY.

But I agree, there is still something dubious about this. At the very end of the clip you three people basically stroll into frame. If you're either the owner of a 3.5 million aircraft or a $60k Tesla and they impact each other ... wouldn't you be moving a little more expediently? An "oh shit!" sort of reaction.

The Tesla is also going the wrong direction to get to these guys, theoretically.

And yea, you gotta hold down the summon button. The Tesla manual even states " remaining ready to release the button to stop the vehicle if needed.". If was summoning my Tesla and saw it headed remotely close to a Plane, I'd probably release the button. Especially after impact. Not keep holding it down so it keeps pushing the plan for another few seconds.
The source code shouldn't need to say anything about the type of the resulting matrix explicitly, perhaps. But why shouldn't the type system keep track of shapes and deduce the accurate type for the result of said multiplication?
> “mainstream” on the left

What connection is there between left/progressive thought and this particular brand of corporate speak?
Are there any good examples of product that maintains popularity within youth / teen markets while enabling monetisation of adult content?

It seems near an impossibility.

From a product perspective it would be possible, tho it’d be playing with fire. Very different when young people see adult content and you ban it vs they see the adult content you condone but you didn’t intend them to reach. (And they will try to).

But from the perception perspective, even harder. When adults (some parents) see snap as an adult entertainment product, they are not going to want kids using it. Even if there’s some suitable product barrier between the audiences.

Gender expression is naturally fuzzy and murky, there's nothing strange about that. The problems start when people create an overlapping notion of "gender identity" aiming to try and put some bright lines on the inherent fuzziness of gender expression, only to confuse the matter even further. Now we're left with completely redundant descriptions like "genderfluid gender identity" which is both confusing and practically indistinguishable from what we used to more sensibly think of as expression.
I wonder if you have used 6.x?

As soon as 6.0 was released we switched all future work to KiCad from Altium Designer. This after held licenses for AD going back to P-CAD days (2006, if I remember correctly) and previously using OrCAD and other professional tools. In short, I got sick and tired of sending thousands of dollars per year to Altium for them to burn the cash adding cloud-based functionality nobody I know wants at all. As a result, AD is just piled-on with bugs, issues, inconsistencies and you can pretty much expect every single update to deliver new bugs.

Anyhow, we've done several boards with KiCAD. We are not sorry at all that we made the change. Sure, it could be improved. The good news is, it will. Also, we are happy to financially contribute towards KiCad development because we know it will not go towards bullshit designed to try to sell the company to a larger company (Altium tried to attract Autodesk, and failed --ADSK probably saw the mess AD had become and backed away).

Anyhow, I think KiCad is good for probably 95%, if not 99%, of any board anyone might want to design. I go back to the early 80's for PCB design, which means that I have done some pretty advanced boards with tools that were far more primitive than KiCad.

As a side note, being able to use Python to drive aspects of KiCad is awesome. We've already created a number of useful utilities relevant to our work.

I have had 4 different shows have content cut from them that I noticed this year, for a variety of woke factors.

- Peep Show (Jeremy & Nancy "taboo" breaking episode)

- 30 Rock (Jenna & Tracy "role reversal" episode)

- Community (Chang D&D)

- Always Sunny

In these instances, the character that is doing the "deplorable" act is the villian or idiot. It's not like these shows are promoting those views, they're actually doing the opposite.

It's so bizarre.
this is not for complete noob, fyi.
"Mother" has been determined to be "not inclusive" because it excludes men who can get pregnant and give birth.

And this isn't some made up controversy. The Biden administration has been replacing "mother" with "birthing person."

Spirit of the law is just as important as the letter of the law, and court decisions, including Supreme Court decisions, have been reached via the spirit of the law versus laws' exact wording. Those who wrote this bill and voted for it were explicit about how they interpret the bill.

Many times faster doesn't mean shit if it takes up 4-6x more space than it needs to in what is likely the most expensive commercial real estate the company owns/leases.

Many times faster doesn't mean shit if it can't be remotely lights-out managed and its hardware monitored using standardized tools (or at all.)

Many times faster doesn't mean shit if it doesn't have redundant PSUs.

Many times faster doesn't mean shit if failed drives can't be hotswapped.

Also, the computer sitting on your desk is not "many many times faster" than a current, or even few years old, server.

I’m not sure if this is a joke, but Rhapsody is long dead.

It was the code name for early macOS, back when it was mostly a Mac OS-skinned OPENSTEP.

We unwisely used it in production to host NetInfo and various other services.
I'd love more info about these kinds of things, I find it quite fascinating to read about places going through it and watching parts of town locally dealing with it.

Also - pensions!

I feel we need more education for citizens about how public pensions and other retirement benefits work - as they can be a huge drain when the money is good, even more of a piece of the pie when the money goes down.
Yes. I wrote a blog series called "How Web Apps Work" that covers fundamental terms and concepts for web dev in general (HTTP, client dev workflow, HTML/DOM/CSS, JS, and data transfer), with some of that more focused on client-side concepts:

The elephant in the room is that the quality has been plummeting. I used to watch Netflix for MCU content. Guess where I get that now. There were also shows like Adventure Time, My Little Pony, Schindler's List, none of which are on Netflix now.

Netflix content is mediocre. I loved Squid Game and The Queen's Gambit, but they felt padded and I fast forwarded through them. A lot of their other other content is shock and sex, which I presume gets people to binge.

But there's only so long you can keep dropping quality before people leave.

That feels like a very misleading point. The world population is almost 8 billion, it was almost 1 billion in 1800 (per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population), so we decreased slavery as a precentage of the world by a lot, yet the total number of slaves has increased. It's tragic that there is modern slavery, but it was horrible the us did it, it's horrible that people want to minimize and argue we weren't so bad for having it, that the founding father's of the us were mostly slave owners.

Increasingly, many of these rural primary industries will need on site tech workers as well.

Rural Canada is where I'm located at the moment. I tend to agree with GP that cities are an inevitable migration towards efficiency and that rural life is increasingly an unsustainable welfare state.
"What if all those craving are just simply "the body needs more nutritious fat". Just like our ancestors ate."

Not necessarily fat, but most produce has lower nutritional value than it did 100 years ago, at least for some nutrients. It sounds like there are a variety of potential causes - soil depletion, synthetic macro fertilizer ignoring micronutrients, selection or genetic modification for larger/faster varieties with plants unable to move enough of certain nutrients to the larger fruit load, longer storage times due to modern supply chains, etc.
Git's user interface is very confused in this respect. You can tag a commit with a version identifier, and that indicates commits are snapshots or versions.

But then you have cherry-pick, which seems to work by "applying a commit" (you can't "apply" snapshots...I think) with git cherry-pick hash. That's the same thing as git cherry-pick hash^..hash which seems to more clearly indicate that we're applying the diff between two commits. And rebase, which really does present itself as a tool for reordering diffs.

Anyway, everyone knows what you mean when you say "apply this commit" so maybe this is just a stupid complaint about "consistency" with no real point. Especially since git does use both deltas and snapshots under the hood.
Be careful, the shipping rules are tricky.

For example, you need to compress the implosion-type nuclear device with another implosion-type nuclear device first to get it to fit in the box.

Are you seriously not seeing how these "inclusive warnings" come from the left?
I know it’s commonly used logic, because announcements and expectations and whatnot, but I find the logic of:

> They didn't get those 2.5 million new subscribers and actually lost 200k, so they're technically -2.7 million subscribers

To be extremely questionable, if not outright incorrect.
They didn’t lose something they didn’t have. 2.5m people didn’t leave, 200k did. Sure, they didn’t reach a target of 2.5m new users, but that’s not the same as losing them.

I know, shareholder announcements/analysts predictions etc, I know I’m not going to change that logic, but I still think it’s bad logic.
Tandis review: The ultimate geometry-based puzzle game
I'm seeing that happen too --- there's been a very noticeable "migration" of left-leaning folk I know, towards the right; and many of these are actually the type of people that the whole "inclusiveness" thing is attempting to please.

I like your observation. I think the flip side applies in some cases too: the people who don't get to run fancy network gear at part of $dayjob get some enjoyment running them for fun at home.
It is a silly type for a function to return, because you have three levels of data structure nesting, with not one bit of information about the meaning of any of the values except their types. If I call your function and then do result[1][2], what does that mean?

This is exactly the kind of situation where you're supposed to use a named tuple or a data class to make it clear what's what.
> Companies looking for the best engineers are slowly going to realise that not offering fully remote is going to considerably limit the pool of available candidates.

And yet I would argue that going remote is going to collapse the junior level talent pool.

For example, most of the shit hot programmers I know who don't have a degree generally became so because they had smoking good mentors that they had easy access to--and they absorbed from them like a sponge. (This is also true of those with degrees--but it's easier to argue that mentorship is definitive when someone doesn't have a degree) Online crushes that avenue of interaction.

Even worse, there is no reason to put energy into training as someone will just leave to another company. Corporate training was already viewed as something unprofitable, and all the online makes that value proposition even worse.

On the plus side: this may revitalize the in-person "user group" which has been kind of dead for a while. I find that my interaction with several users groups is now probably stronger than my interaction with coworkers.
It is same situation at our home. My wife finds plenty of things to watch on Netflix. I rarely do.

When we want to watch something together, we are renting on demand movies or even driving to redbox and picking up some snacks at the same time.

>No doubt this was a political gift to Disney when they promised to bring development to the Orlando area half a century ago, and Disney certainly fulfilled that part of the deal.

I used mercurial at one job and my experience was that the day-to-day differences were largely philosophical, especially if you primarily interact with VCS through your IDE, like me. Mercurial’s CLI API is supposedly cleaner, but I hardly interacted with it.

Mercurial has immutable history, so no squashing commits, no deleting branches, at the time I was using it there was no amending commits, in fact reverting a commit doesn’t even come enabled out of the box! Some folks loved it; no changing history, everything documented as it happened. We practiced trunk based development, so no branches except for hotfixes, so there wasn’t a lot of sprawl.

Ecosystems largely don’t support mercurial, so that’s definitely a consideration. Since Merge Requests and feature branches are largely practiced now, I feel like there’d be a lot of noise in a repo if folks used mercurial.

I don’t particularly miss mercurial, personally. I’m less into “pure” workflows and forcing behaviors. I think git is super flexible and generally practical and I’m overall pretty happy with it.
this book is a wonderful primer on all things related to MDP based algs. That's a very specific subfield of computer science that can work wonders in some domains.
You say "baseless accusations" and "ridiculous statements".

I have seen "Christians" do what I can only describe as scamming other people regularly, not just the megachurch guys buying private jets with "donations", but also the Catholic Church selling(!) indulgences and sometimes "monetizing" "miracles". I see how other people might feel these activities are not scams at all, but at least to me, that's how I perceive them. I cannot comment on this particular story, as I am lacking background information, and thus do not want form an opinion without knowing the facts.

Calling the pope "anti-science" isn't that much of a stretch either, from my perspective.
I can't think of anything I care about that's on Netflix. I also can't imagine cancelling it... There's always something. Between my wife and I both barely caring, they have my money for years. I imagine they'll survive, and if content doesn't turn around, they'll be bought in some final round of media conglomerates mergers, where I'll be even less able to get rid of it.
That's a miserable way to live though.

There really are no winners in court except the lawyers.
That's very true, yeah. Can't speak for every Alexa, every version, the future, etc.
I’m not sure it’s as cut-and-dry as you suggest. Suppose you have to hold down a button to keep a meat-slicer blade moving. Then, as you slice a piece of meat, the slicer blade suddenly flies out and strikes a nearby customer and injures them. Later, it’s discovered that a faulty design or a manufacturing defect cause the blade to fly out. There’d still be a very good case that the manufacturer would still be liable for the defect.

Now, here, maybe the user could have prevented the car accident by letting go of the button. But, what if the user had faith (however misplaced) that the car was going to avoid the collision until it was too late to let go? Or what if the user had suffered a stroke at that particular moment and couldn’t let go? It’s an interesting thought experiment.
