I didn't study that plan for too long, but I don't think it's about mega cities only.

There is a tendency to limit expansion of villages/cities into surrounding areas for some decades now (in Europe, not sure about US). And that surrounding areas would be (mostly) agricultural land.

Many young people have trouble buying places to live in because the prices are too high - in some areas houses cost multiples than few decades ago (inflation adjusted).

Mega cities/high density housing are a solution for a crowded world without remote work/work from home, concentrating people into as small area as possible, not without its cons, of course.

Single family housing on the other hand (usually) offers higher quality of life, and is more desirable (for many, at least). And for that the solution may be creating new cities/suburban areas, therefore we would need to allocate more land, land not currently used for housing, of which we have plenty - although the current political/administrative notion is that we don't have where to expand, because agriculture land is sacred/not to be touched/built on.

P.S. I know the article is about US and I'm talking mostly about Europe. But European politicians have a tendency to copy down US policies in quick succession, so my comment may be relevant.

P.P.S. To say it clearly, I don't think that helping new homeowners to get into debt by providing down payment assistance (for housing units overpriced because of existing regulation) is better than lowering prices of said properties by changing zoning/building rules.
>The difference was .01 seconds. It's not immediately obvious that there is a problem.

in games you really feel ping differences

if you were playing e.g for a year on 5ping and then jumped on 30, then you'll feel that in games like LoL and probably CSGO? idk about the second one.
C and Rust is obviously a low level language, as well as C++.

Go is the odd one in the list, you might as well say that one should write an external function in Java and call that from Ruby (which would be fair if Ruby would already run on the JVM, e.g. in case of TruffleRuby).

Go has nothing at all to do with C++, C++ is a low level language, and an expressive one at that. Go is neither of those, it is managed and not good at expressiveness (by design).
Yes, I'm definitely talking about databases with close memberships, but keep in mind that some seemingly "open membership" apps can still be implemented, some social networks come to mind, like chat apps, where each chat is a database, and all its participants are the agents. Maybe more sophisticated social networks like twitter could be implemented too, something like each post may be a database with it's own permissions and encrypted to for a group of accounts
if they pulled an IEX and just ran the Busan clients through a few km of fibre to induce delay they could use native pings and verify easily
Sorry to post off-topic but I've never heard it before. Does chalking down mean the same thing as chalking up?
Reading through the documentation (which is good), there is one thing that seems pointless: --required-args and --required-values are actually the same thing, since it is said that default value of "yes" is assigned to all arguments that do not require an explicit argument.
Magic the Gathering cards have pretty standard and predictable wording and keywords. Not sure it could understand everything, but there would be easy patterns that apply to hundreds or thousands of cards.
Someone claimed my domain and turned into a porn site

I picked up Twitter in 2021 after a longer break.

Today I prefer lists over following and have several prioritized lists per interest, e.g. P0, P1, ..., Pn for programmers.

When I want to see what's going on, I start with level zero.

Very few people on my lists tweet every day. I enjoy reading people who tweet about new insights within their current area of interest - this rarely happens more than once per week. I aspire to have such account myself. I don't mind staying silent if I don't have something interesting to share.
A cheaper but somewhat more kludgy solution is using an old camcorder with a line out and converting that to USB.

I had an old camcorder laying around (a samsung https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/SC-MX20/XAC/ ) with composite out and I also had a composite to hdmi converter and another to convert hdmi to usb. (they also make composite to usb all in converters) I found the box for the samsung camcorder and I still had the RCA output cable. Chained them all together and windows sees it as a usb camera.

Works without a hitch so far.

> The US also overestimates the threats from its potential adversaries quite frequently.

Yeah, for instance, IIRC, the F-15 (at least partially) resulted from a severe over-estimation of the capabilities of the Mig-25.

>That's just a classic prolife talking point.

well, it was an amendment introduced after the civil war to prohibit slavery on a constitutional level but then 100 years later some un-elected supreme court justices decided that it's also about making abortion a fundamental right. Maybe it's a classic because it's a good point?

>This means the court is setting up to allow states much more freedom to restrict individual liberties

The actual quote is "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;", i think it's a pretty big stretch to say that they meant that states can't make things illegal,especially since it follows up with "without due process of law". Plenty of other things have been outlawed both before and after this ruling.

> This means the court is setting up to allow states much more freedom to restrict individual liberties. Why conservatives are okay with this I don't know, I guess authoritarians are okay with losing freedoms as long as they're in power.

As I said above, 14A hasn't prevented people from losing liberties, except in this one narrow instance. The reason they're okay with losing this liberty is because they're concerned that unborn fetuses should be considered as human lives. Whether or not this is correct is debatable, but the point is that if they are considered as such then abortion could be outlawed for the same reason murder is outlawed.
Google now lets free GSuite users “opt out” of account shutdown
I have a pretty full on setup, with a condenser microphone on a boom, studio lights and softboxes pointed at me, with a full frame mirrorless camera and a high frame rate capture card.

I tried doing meetings with it, but ended up getting a lot of inane comments about it, particularly as the microphone is in frame. Personally, I don't want to draw attention to myself in a meeting, so I've ended up going back to using a terrible webcam for work, like everyone else.
Yes, sporadic use is a major issue on top of the fact that this is not SaaS and nothing lives in the cloud (which of course I don't want of a document creation tool anyway).

I am all for layers of features that cost money to unlock, but never ever ever on a subscription basis. It's like every developer out there heard that SaaS is where the money is at and decided that applied to their project out of dogma rather than a well reasoned business case.
It might not be in a "CPU on a chip" but rather in some chip that needs a CPU in addition to some other parts.

For instance Western Digital is a big contributor to RISC-V. They struggle to ship drive controllers that are really relevant because frequently the CPU that goes into a drive controller is some off-brand CPU which is 5% the performance of an Intel CPU.

If WD has IP for a decent CPU that can be sped up for a given task with some small changes that is a game changer... But on the other hand ARM can go a long way by lowering prices and increasing flexibility for licensing.
I don't think finding developers is my first obstacle, I have a bunch of people who have contacted me and shown interest in participating.

The problem is the logistics of an open search project that is a web service with serious hardware requirements. I think the minimum hardware requirements is about 14 Gb of RAM, that's without any real data loaded into the system. Testing is awkward and cumbersome, and the data logistics are a real headache even on the same network as the production instance.

To even run the search engine, you need a few hundred megabytes of language models, as well as a probably few gigabytes of website data to conduct meaningful testing. The production instance has a disk footprint of about half a terabyte.
ahh, you're right. I went back and compared the specs [1] and the battery is the biggest difference. Somehow, the marketing I always came across was for iPhone 13 and the Pro. Don't believe I saw marketing for the mini. Cellphone providers I checked (when I thought about upgrading) didn't have the mini (12 or 13) upfront and center on their home page.

I've edited the comment as to not include the reference to my nationality, because this reference was originally meant in the way of "I dont see anything wrong with this either", referring to the original twitter links, but I see how this could be taken in a very different context.

Obviously nationality does not relate to knowledge or expertise in symbols in any way, and that association is a little bit far fetched to be quite honest with you.

I'm not sure why you would project this specific intent into my comment, as I was originally replying to something completely off the topic of symbols and the Swastika or Hakenkreuz.
My Samsung Galaxy S3 turns 10 next month and it is still in daily use as a second phone. The biggest reasons it is still working are the changeable battery, the sdcard and wireless charging.

It consumed something like one battery per year, the integrated memory of 16GB are barely enough, but with a 64GB sdcard it worked fine so far. However, the mirco-usb connector became unstable years ago, but the wireless charging has very little wear and works fine.

I think an updated version (new processor, new camera, more RAM, modern network capabilities) should be able to check most, if not all, of the requirements from the website.
this is nice with the TUI, but need to remember these shortcut commands, maybe will get used to or remember them after start using them...
Samsung make one called the Z-flip. Way too expensive for me, but to me it's the better flip phone I've been waiting for since 2005!

> We have hundreds of Aegis boats

113, if you count Japan's, Korea's, and the rest of NATO (with 137 more planned.) These are spread around the world, and only some of them are Aegis BMD. And not all of those will be ready when they're needed. A few dozen Aegis BMD ships off the coast of the US seems plausible.

Besides Aegis, there is THAAD (which only protects a handful of rather small areas) and GMD (which only has a few dozen interceptors.) If China/Russia threw hundreds of missiles at the continental US all at once, it's a good bet that at least some would get through and wreck havoc.
SSO on infrastructure is not a must for everyone but it’s a very nice thing to have. Teleport pricing for small teams doesn’t make sense, it’s more expensive than GitHub enterprise that provides SSO, and Infra is very welcome to provide basic features to everyone and not locked behind a “contact us” price.
No, unfortunately I have not added that feature yet, but it is on the list.
I do not care if they do not make a new mini every year. I just want a mini available for purchase, and the 13 mini should be very capable for at least a few more years.

I don't feel completely safe in ruling out cephalopods in that regard. That said, life on dry land would seem to be a precursor to scientific advancement such as chemistry.
And it's been a long time since any available phone could be operated one handed by most users. An iPhone Mini isn't really one-handable either.

I am the small-phone-lover this article is addressing, and I did sign up to their list - I have an Xperia XZ1 Compact and no plans to upgrade because there's nothing to upgrade it to - but my biggest complaint about the Compact is that it's too big already. I'm a not-quite-six-foot man and I can't reach to buttons in the corners one handed. So why bother? It seems that my preference is not entirely rational after all.
Nice. I do something similar with simple scripts for fuzzy finding a file/sha, and then call them in place of one being expected, but this might tempt me to let someone else maintain it (with undoubtedly more thought and time put into it by a long shot) instead :)

I dislike all the short acronym-style aliases though; (I know it's fairly popular with git) not immediately obvious if it's supported to just use the usual commands.
It's all handled by the Raft libraries (I know this because rqlite uses the same Raft library at this blog post). When integrating with Hashicorp's Raft code, your code must implement Apply()[1]. The Hashicorp code promises not to call Apply() until a quorum of nodes have been persisted the data to the Raft log. That way when your code is called to modify your state machine (FSM), quorum has already been achieved by the Raft system.

Architecturally (in rqlite's case) a node looks something like this: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Q8lQgCaODlecHa2hS-Oe...

I will never invest my time into an app that I might need to pay for later if paying for it will require a subscription and it is not an SaaS or cloud based app.
There are 120 Android phones with 4G that are 5.8" or smaller, since 2019. Of those, the best are probably the Cat S62 Pro, Pixel 4 or 3, Fairphone 3+, and Samsung Galaxy S10e. https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2018&fDisplay...

Palm released a tiny Android phone in 2018, but the performance was crap so it didn't sell. Smaller phone means smaller battery and fewer cutting edge components, unless you fab everything yourself, making it more expensive. The tradeoffs don't work unless you're the richest company in the world.
I hope it does not turn to the bloodbath of 2008. But there for sure seems to be a few nose dives in some segments.

On the other hand, since you don’t know future requirements, it’s easier to refactor/abstract unabstracted code than to refactor/reabstract already-/wrongly-abstracted code.

That's fine. My take is that it's perfectly OK to have art for popular appeal, and perhaps separately, art that takes some investigation to fully appreciate. I face this as a musician, specifically playing modern jazz. A lot of my friends find polite ways of telling me they don't like that kind of music, and I reassure them that I'm not in the least bit offended.

Of those Picasso portraits, if I could afford just one, I'd take 1971. Turns out I can afford just zero.
You wrote

> Hakenkreuz is not “literally the name for a swastika”. Hakenkreuz literally translates to hooked cross.

But it literally is the translation for swastika. There are books from the 19th century talking about the Hakenkreuze in buddhist temples.
And yeah, you can translate it to hooked cross. But English is not the authoritative language on this topic, German is, as the Nazis did not speak english (as their native language).

(Original Nazi sources ahead)

Take a look at this edition of "Volk and Rasse": https://www.google.de/books/edition/Volk_und_Rasse/n9sZAAAAM...
On Page 465, there is a description of a "racial school" in Berlin with the name "Swastika". Because it's the same symbol. This Book was published by the Rassehauptamt of the NSDAP, directly by the Nazis.

The Hakenkreuz as a religious swastika is also being mentioned in this book: https://www.google.de/books/edition/Der_S_A_F%C3%BChrer/wdU7...
Published for the SA, also directly by the Nazis. They directly reference it as "also a swastika, like our swastika".

Whether or not it's a transient concern, manufacturers operate in the market that currently exists, not the one that may exist in the future, and the market that currently exists doesn't include a lot of demand for non-Apple ARM PCs.
This is really cool and led me down some rabbit holes. I had no idea that the 'strings' of starlink satellites are a temporary artifact - I was wondering why I only saw one string, with the rest evenly distributed. Turns out they are all in 'strings' until they distribute themselves. Very cool link!
Perfect example of citations-driven research. The authors aren’t motivated by a genuinely interesting scientific question (“are anatomical differences between genetically distinct groups of people visible in X-rays?”). Instead, the authors know that training a classifier to predict race will generate controversial headlines and tweets. All publicity, positive or negative, leads to more citations.
Appologies, it was not my intent to make a joke, more to acertain how people became aware of the condition Lupus of which myself and it seems, many others awareness was born from that TV show.
“This” refers to the contribution of software processing described above, i.e. explicitly not the matter of sensor quality.
Leading edge processes are not where the shortage exists -- it's trailing process nodes that are used heavily for support chips and automotive. Support chips like voltage regulators sure as hell don't need a 5nm or 7nm process, but they are critical components to any piece of electronics being able to ship. Older processes are ideal for these needs because they are very well characterized / understood, making them excellent for chips with an analog component. And older processes were cheap until demand exceeded supply.

Edit: and Intel doesn't and won't play into the market for support chips. There's no way in hell that they can support Intel's required profit margins.
I've written about the "world of postgres wire compatible" [0] and yes there are some databases that implement the protocol and don't implement postgres (see: immudb and ravendb) I give databases like CockroachDB more credit for actually making their intention and generally following through with implementing Postgres. Also unlike some others on my list CockroachDB really is meant as an OLTP replacement. Performance characteristics and operations will definitely differ but as solely a user/application developer you shouldn't notice as much.

Indeed. This will probably be removed. The argument against --required-args is actually much simpler: it only makes sense to have groups of required arguments - such as when we either want -a -b -c or '-x -y -z', but it's pointless to demand to include any single argument that doesn't require an explicit value.
I was expecting a guerilla db instead of a cockroach db. Like serialising the db for dropbox. This is like a drifter camping on private land... you can say it isnt really decentralised but i'll just move somewhere else.
> You don't need to add new data to an S3 bucket to get a bill every month because the existing data accrues charges.

Yes, but it's pretty predictable. Once there's enough data in your bucket that the monthly cost would go over the limit, just stop accepting new data.

Nobody cares if the spending limit is accurate to the cent. What people care about is not being surprised by huge invoices.

> The billing scheme is very transparent and friendly by being pay-as-you-go.

Have you looked at eg. the glacier pricing scheme, or at lambda pricing? It's almost impossible to know how much it's going to cost you ahead of time. The only thing you know is that if you happen to use it differently than anticipated, it's going to be expensive.

If workers want the right to disconnect, they need to exercise it without asking permission of management or the government.

I sure as hell don't ask permission to turn off my company-issued devices at 5pm and ignore them until 8am the next morning. Nor do I ask permission to ignore work-related comms outside of business hours, because I don't work for free. I already have the right to disconnect. I have always had it, because I am a human being and autonomy is a human right.

Remember: power yields nothing without a demand, and direct action gets the goods.
Unknown and unknowable. Hell, the number of people who truly understand quantum physics is a round off error of the world’s population. I would think that applies on any scale you choose.
