Knowing the exact syntax of git bisect isn't that useful when you use it quite rarely. Knowing that git bisect exists and that it does what you need is the real knowledge.
It is more or less zero config! Since its P2P there is no VPN server per se, and connecting to a overlay network is a platform-independent one-liner: https://github.com/pojntfx/weron#usage.

Every society has blasphemy laws, be they codified or implicit. It’s just a matter of the targets. As the old saw goes, you can tell who is in charge because you’re not allowed to criticize them. Some societies have a jester’s privilege, but currently ours is at a nadir.
I can't understand why the enforced decibel level is 95 for cars and 80 for motorcycles. Motorcycles are probably, by percentage, the worst offenders for this, but it seems like a decibel from one vehicle is as loud as a decibel from another, so I wonder why there's a double standard.

The biggest argument against this seems to be the creeping surveillance state. I agree with that, and it would indeed be better if this was enforced by 'old-fashioned' police and their old-fashioned ears. But they don't, for whatever reason, and I wish they would. It's frustrating.

And it's not that I like being surveilled, but I think speed trap cameras and red light cameras are generally worse than this (because you can accidentally go over the speed limit, but you can't accidentally install a loud aftermarket exhaust pipe) so this isn't as much of a problem for me as it seems for some people.

At one level I'll even appreciate the sweet revenge on the inconsiderate people whose unnecessarily loud vehicles have been annoying me for decades.
I don't see the problem. Are you opposed to automation more generally?

>Seems crazy to me that manufacturers are selling cars that are basically designed to be a nuisance.

This is a really odd take.

The noise in that case is a by-product of how the car's powertrain is designed.
Yeah, this is a very reasonable position. Metal keys require no electricity, preparation, or maintenance. Newer RFID keys receive power from the building itself. Phones are strictly worse; they require the phone to have a charge, and they require a mobile app that is well-tested on a wide range of devices. I've never seen a mobile app that interacts with hardware that actually works, so I just don't think the state of the industry is good enough here.

RFID seems like the perfect building access system to me. You can disable individual key fobs (whereas with metal keys you have to rekey the locks each time someone moves out) and they're cheap to replace.

I definitely wouldn't mind having the option to use my phone, but it just isn't a good single point of failure. Software is nice and everything, but not nice enough to control access to my home.
The police in San Francisco have had multiple major discrimination scandals. How is automatic enforcement and ticketing more dystopian than letting those jokers continue to decide which laws to enforce on which populations?
You probably did make a mistake if you paid for top storage specs, keyboards and pencils, all exclusively for zoom.

It's only a fallacy when there are no valid reasons to think that the events will actually progress the way you claim they are.

In this case, there is a clear government and/or corporate motive in increased data mining and social control, so the only thing restricting them is they need to make people accustomed and not consider it too intrusive in non-totalitarian societies.

Things like "contact tracing" or "preventing terrorism" or "think of the children" are among the ways that the powerful actors at the top are convincing the populus that such a measure would be necessary (and beneficial), and the majority of the population does not seem to care much about this to do anything. Hence, it is reasonable to believe that the claimed event (phone being required at some level) is going to happen at some point.
This is so offensive. The idea that we should be ruled by unseen masters who enforce their desires through machines because actuall personal interaction would be dangerous for us. Anyone who subscribes to this needs to take a good look at their values system and understanding of what it means to be part of humanity.

It's not set up yet, but I've been planning it with a sparkie mate.

My rack - despite being high density - is relatively low draw. I'm currently pulling around 500w/h and expect to only burst to about 800w/h.

As such, I'm looking at a 25-30kwh system, depending on what I can efficiantly squeeze in. I'd also like to chain together 2-3 Powerwalls or similar battery systems for a storage capacity of 2 days or so of total draw. I also have an electric car and a family, so 2 days is probably about 40kwh.

The expectation is it'll save around $300-350 a month, so it'll take a few years for ROI, but that's ok - as long as it allows me to feed my hobby!
I dunno, seems reasonable to let people pay to violate some ordinances. Maybe one day you're in a hurry and you don't mind paying the speeding tax.

Some middle ground between just blindly following instructions and just getting stuck without making any progress before giving up would be ideal. Spending some time critically thinking and trying a few options but then getting guidance when all the obvious options have been explored.
There are far more annoying leaf blowers than loud cars.
This feels a little contrived. I work for an organisation with trade union representation and yes there is an agreed pay structure in place. This doesn't prevent management identifying particularly critical people and those people being rewarded/incentivised outside the norms of the pay scales (I am one of these people). Sometimes specific cases are discussed in the management/union meetings but not often and even then it's just a matter of management saying "Yeah that guy is the world's greatest widget engineer if he leaves we're screwed so we created a new job to keep him here".

It doesn't really go beyond that unless it's perceived that management are routinely violating the spirit of agreements and/or when the relationship between the union and management has already completely broken down.
> unions seem to often go overboard with impractical demands and are more political than in Europe

Isn't that partially because the US such an insufficient level of social benefits from the state (healthcare, pensions, paid time off, etc.)? The unions wouldn't need to "go overboard" if an acceptable minimum level was guaranteed.
The discouragement experts get on Wikipedia is being forced to cite --- to Wikipedia's standards --- points that they would not need to cite in their own writing. They're used to writing for their peers, with much of what they have to say being accepted common knowledge. That doesn't work on WP, at least not under scrutiny. For an expert, writing on WP is much more tedious than writing anywhere else. A Wikipedia editor goes in expecting the exercise to be about organizing citations; a subject matter expert goes in expecting the exercise to be about (say) science communication. The subject matter expert should write articles that WP cites, not WP pages.

What I think people miss in these arguments is that Wikipedia is about the citations. It's a directory of sources. If it says something important, that thing needs to be footnoted to something readers can go find and read directly. That is the point.

Lots of people see other things Wikipedia could be about. They're not wrong: it could be about those things. But it's not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_no...
ALPR is a completely different technology that exists completely separately than traffic enforcement cameras. It’s completely possible to ban widespread ALPR usage and maintain automatic enforcement with speed / noise cameras.
Noise is much, much different in a rural area.

An old friend of mine was in a 'biker gang' of sorts and when I visited his farm, the bikes were loud, but didn't really seem to bother me.

First time I went to Chicago, walking around downtown, a few bikers came by and I can only describe the noise as head pounding, ear piercingly loud.

Acoustics are weird in that way.
I know Paris is doing something similar as well, which is definitely in line with their recent efforts to cut back on cars in the city
It's always seemed very odd to me that California is known both for its hot-rodding culture that encourages vehicle modifications, and at the same time has extremely strict emissions laws.

That said, as an enthusiast of vehicle performance improvements myself, there's a huge variance in how exhaust sounds are perceived even if they're the same volume. To me, high-pitched screaming is far more obnoxious than low-frequency rumbling.
> a number of GPT-3's poems like "Uber-Poem" (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#uber-poem) or "The Universe Is A Glitch" (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#the-universe-is-a-glitch) struck me as a good deal more lively and memorable than the vast majority of the poems I puzzle through reading the New Yorker or Paris Review.

I read them and they are impressive and memorable - because they were generated by a computer. If a person wrote them they would be very unremarkable; nothing about them would stand out, in insight or language or form. What is remarkable is that a computer generated text that is passable as human poetry. If a high schooler or non-artistic college student wrote them, I wouldn't be surprised.

(Also, and maybe I'm too literal here, if poems are seen as 'puzzles', that will miss the point for 99% of them.)
To be fair, if people drive them responsibly then they shouldn't be hitting that level on a 25-35 mph street. Or really anywhere other than an on ramp or highway passing, etc.

Also, I'm curious about the testing specs. I assume it has to be a specific pressure adjusted for things like altitude, temperature, and other environmental features. How do the cameras handle those variances so not to ticket someone with a legal car that goes over the limit due to an environmental factor?

I've added more context to the comment
Gerrymandering is a popular tactics used by PAP in Singapore, to ensure they stay in power. In most democracies the Govt., Supreme Court and the Election Commission are independent of each other. Thereby elections are run fairly. But in Singapore, the election commission and supreme court is run by the govt. in power. This makes it easier for the party in power to sustain it's reign.
That doesn't really conflict with what GP said.
I doubt that he quit just because he was forced to go back to the office. He was probably unhappy there for multiple reasons. Keep in mind that he can get a job anywhere and probably will get better pay if he even needs to work ever again. So quitting is not a big deal for him. So keep that in mind to anyone thinking they can do the same.

It also speaks to the fact that no one is irreplaceable.
Unfortunately very few, if any computer monitors support a remote.

In my city, there was a big criminal operation stealing catalytic converters from cars parked on the street during lockdown. A lot of cars are still missing them and we all know who drives those cars: poor people living paycheck to paycheck.

As long as we have so much poverty and wealth inequality, I will aggressively oppose brutal laws with such out-of-touch priorities as noise pollution.

Who gets the ticket if a law abiding driver is in frame with a scofflaw?

Exhaust noise regulations are generally based on a specific distance and orientation at ground level. How are they going to prove that they met those conditions?

95dB for cars but only 80dB for motorcycles. I doubt my 15 year old bike meets that with its stock exhaust. Regardless, now a car can trip the camera and the blame falls on someone driving a quieter vehicle.
These cars being /performance/ oriented might be a hint.
For a car to go fast it needs air, like a lot of air, air that engine needs to dispose of quickly in order to get a fresh batch, and adding complex muffler systems limits how much airflow you can have.

Add to that ecological requirements and you have a very tight margin that car manufacturer can tweak in.

Also just because car can sound loud when driven in full throttle, doesn't mean it has to. It is on the driver if he chooses to be a nuisance, not manufacturer(Straight piping an old beater car is dirt cheap, having a hole in exhaust is even 'cheaper' and is much louder than any of the expensive, performance oriented cars in question.

Or you can work at a place that will give you a pay cut if you move out of the immediate Bay Area counties. Then you get the pay cut either way.
It's not that they don't care about the neighbors... actively harming the neighbors is the entire reason it's fun. It's the school bully who grows up and can't keep punching people willy-nilly, but they can aggravate everyone in sight, and if someone says something to them they and their biker friends will beat them up. It's a way to feel powerful -- the ability to harm others with impunity -- and is observed in all kinds of people from bikers to gossips to dictators.

Agreed. I love font and typography, but the sheer size of fonts can make it hard to justify while caring about serving content to people with low bandwidth.
On the topic of driving legislature and enforcement in general, I hate the sentiment of speed limits. It's a mishmash of trying to reduce fatalities by making person-and-vehicle collisions happen at a slower speed that is for some reason applied to the motorway.

For anyone that has gone 155mph on the Autobahns unlimited section, it becomes blatantly obvious that modern high end cars are meant to do that sort of speed, and there's nothing that scary about it when you have 6 lanes and keep a few hundred meters of braking distance. The fact that 90mph would get your license taken away in the U.K. makes me sick considering that almost all little crapbox cars sold in Europe happily break that limit (even if they're screaming in 5th gear).

The similar shit with electronic payments should stop too. Here in the US, many stores demand that you pay in EXACT CHANGE or card. However, the system used to calculate prices after taxes is such that no ordinary person is able to know how much they'll have to pay in advance without resorting to some sort of tax calculator. Cash is our last defense against mass surveillance, and we need to cherish it.
I'm not sure what's tricky to understand about this: you have to understand why the fence was put up in the first place before you can safely knock it down. That's it; that's the whole fence. If you want to understand Wikipedia's policies, go read them. They're extensively documented. You can't just make up what you think the rationales for these policies are, knock those false rationales down, and claim you've made any kind of actual argument; you're literally just arguing with yourself.

Security is absolutely a people problem, but in general good security tends to make it hard to do dangerous things. I do not believe most development tooling makes it easy to be safe while also making it hard to do generally dangerous things—like downloading unsigned, unverified code from an unknown third party.
That codebase has to integrate with all sorts of GPUs and desktop environments. Unless you carefully tune everything in the software stack, it ends up being a slow power hog. ChromeOS comes pre-tuned.

(Disclaimer: I prefer Firefox. Sometimes I compare it to chrome. They're usually comparable, but on some machines, one completely blows the other out of the water.)
You'll be glad to know then that California is banning the sale of new gas powered leaf blowers in 2024.

What are you asserting specifically? That there is no such thing as expertise?
That's an answer to an entirely different question. It explains why only 'notable' things get articles, not why deleted articles are only accessible to admins. Perhaps you meant to link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Viewing_of_deleted_a... ?

I've read that, and their arguments are wanting. The most convincing is the doxing/legal reasons rationale. What is not convincing is using that rationale to hide the vast majority of articles that were not deleted for those reasons.

The other argument offered was "then what's the difference between a deleted and not deleted article", which is nonsense. By that logic, there is also no difference between deleting some text in an article, and leaving it in, since in both cases it is still accessible in revision history.

Finally there was the "would encourage trolls since their trolling would remain in history", but again, the same argument applies to revision history of non-deleted articles.
I can imagine that they'd take multiple samples. E.g. do you see the same car in the same sound-triggered photo N number of times? An abiding car would have to be exceptionally unlucky to get confused with the loud vehicle.
This is usually mostly circumvented by demanding "EXACT CHANGE" though. In most states, there are sales tax at several levels that don't apply uniformly, so it is nearly impossible or too time-consuming to use cash, because you simply don't know how much you'll have to pay.
Dopamine addiction isn't a real thing. You don't get addicted to going for a jog or eating chocolate.

It seems like the reality of modern life is more automation and why shouldn't the police use it to accomplish more with less manpower?

I'm really happy to see governments finally waking up to the problems caused by noise pollution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise).

Another thing that I have maintained for quite some time is that car horns should be at as loud inside the car as out. It's kinda crazy to me that we're ok with people making such loud noises while being completely isolated from them.
I would rather California work harder on enforcement against smoking tobacco everywhere.

In my city it's illegal to smoke in city parks, yet people do it inside my neighborhood parks nearly every day. Many times when young families with children are around and inhaling it second-hand.
They make lots of mistakes that hurt innocent people, and you have to go to court and prove your innocence. Also they don't consider any situational context. Sounds pretty fascist to me.

At least in most jurisdictions they're required to send you the photo now, so when it's clearly not you driving it's a lot easier to get them thrown out by the judge. Still pretty shitty to have to take time off to go to court for something you didn't do.
It's more like 1 in 3, an order of magnitude better. And they'd be sown under cover in more controlled conditions before planting out; not just tossed in the ground.

You're interested in Schmelzer's papers. The author has a colourful website <https://ilja-schmelzer.de/> on which he solicits comment and provides an email link. I think you should feel reasonably welcome to send a brief initial hello and a couple of questions about his work. Additionally, he might have some ideas on your point (1), beyond the reference sections of his various papers. He might also have some thoughts on (2), which could turn out to be related to what I see as a remarkable contrast between his 1997 preprint's Discussion section and the final paragraph before Appendix A in his 2012 publication.
> Cases where "UI should be a function of state" seem like a small sliver of all use cases.

Maybe not “should”, but it’s an incredibly helpful mental model, and I can think of very few cases it can’t model correctly. It’s so helpful a model that it’s gained traction in Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Dart, Go. It’s the ~only model in Clojure and and literally the foundation of Elm.

None of these cases, AFAIK, apply the model literally when they interface with inherently imperative APIs. They provide APIs expressing the model, and manage the imperative behavior on your behalf. This is ultimately how all functions in meaningful programming work. At the end of the day, allocating memory or displaying output is a side effect.

This is also how you can have custom renderers like those used in ink, three-solid, even React Native. The code is modeled as a declarative function of state, implemented as a set of imperative behaviors corresponding to state and dependency changes.

I’ve worked on contentEditable solutions in the past, probably more than most people who didn’t ultimately produce a library from the work (I went mad, literally angry at the complexity of making it a good UX, and gave up). I hope I never have that task again, but if I do… you can bet your ass I’d use a function of state model. It’s the only way I could reason about the problem without going mad.
If companies can figure out how to use a mostly remote workforce effectively, they can hire anywhere in the world with good Internet. They would no longer need to put an office where there are plenty of qualified workers; they could hire one-at-a-time without regard to geography. And if time zones are a problem, hire north-south rather than east-west. Rio de Janeiro, for example, is only one hour later than New York City.

Over the short term there are arbitrage opportunities for tech workers moving out of high-cost and high-pay regions, but the equilibrium could be quite different.
