Think of all the dev tools you use (debugging, code navigation, etc). Then pick a literate programming system (e.g. org mode with Babel). How many of those dev tools can you use? In my experience: Almost none.

A trivial example: Running the tangled code, and getting errors. I know the error is in line 1234, but how do I map that line number to the line in some particular code block?

This is the primary thing holding me back from serious literate programming. Plenty of opportunities here.

The other thing I want (which I'm sure someone has solved): Having "orthogonal" repositories within a repository: Say I clone a Git repository. I want to now store some personal files in those directories (notes, config files for linting tools only I use, etc). I want these version controlled locally, but they should never be pushed to remote.

Another one: Get me ways to read tool/framework/language docs as Info files, so I can view them offline and via Emacs. Sphinx based docs can be built with a texinfo target.[1] Find some other tool that generates docs and add a texinfo target to it if it doesn't exist.

Even with a causal effect, it’s important to consider the effectiveness as an intervention for a specific group (riders for this company).

There’s a reasonable causal story to tell wherein helmet-wearing leads people t take make riskier maneuvers on trips they’d be on, which leads to helmet wearing being associated with injury.

There’s another reasonable causal story wherein helmet-wearing leads people to chose to bike on trips they otherwise would take alternative transport, or skip entirely, which leads to helmet wearing being associated with injury.

In the first, a pedicab company might prohibit helmets to reduce risky behavior, but should really compare that intervention to just training and incentivizing lower-risk riding. In the second, the company is severing the connection between the intervention and the effect! The passengers tell riders where to go, so helmet wearing has no effect on risk-taking behavior _specifically for their riders_. Prohibiting helmets then dramatically increases risk/severity of injury.

I’d want to be very sure about the specifics before taking such a counterintuitive decision.
> AI artists offer only the imitation of art

Doesn't this depend on the "beholder's" definition of art? In some contexts I want art to say something meaningful about the human condition. AI art can't do that (at least today and maybe ever).

In some contexts I want art to be beautiful or perhaps just decorative. I think AI art can already do that, at least sometimes. When it's successful, then it meets my definition of "art" in that context.

In other contexts I may need art that illustrates an idea or conveys a concept. AI art can already do that to. Thus, I don't agree with the premise "AI artists only offer the imitation art" at least in some contexts.
Time to start a radon mitigation company!
I shop almost daily and rarely go to restaurants or order online.
My freezer contains only ice cream.

The shop is 2min by car and next to my kids' school so it's quite convenient.

I could shop in a cheaper store further away but having fresh meat, fish, fruit and vegetables is a great plus.
Belgium introduces quarantine for monkeypox cases
Yeah but crypto is bad, so why would I buy crypto?

There's no reasoning to be had here.
I kind of disagree with the analysis, largely because there’s now a large block of the world separated from western commerce.

Russia isn’t purchasing goods, yet the west is giving them wealth for oil, natural gas, wheat, etc.

That’s effectively wealth leaving the system and entering there’s.

More over, the west is increasingly looking at China as a threat AND China has locked down a large amount of economic output.

This is just starting imo and it’s not likely to improve for the time being.

In the 70s and 80s the US had a large manufacturing base and purchasers around the globe.

Today the largest exporter is China and most nations have china as their largest import. China is supporting Russia and looks like their looking to leave the western financial system. This is on a downward spiral far different than the 70s and 80s and I don’t see it reversing until the market bottoms out at its new size (much smaller than previously).

Yep, I'm aware of both projects, also RemedyBG is a step in the right direction.

I agree it's hard, but it's been hard for the last 3 decades, but not much has happened (with the exception of time travel debugging).

I think debugging tools are just not deemed important enough by many programmers, which is a bit of a shame. Also they require support from compilers, operating systems, and hardware, and this level of integration is hard to achieve - maybe Apple could do it if they had any interest in good debugging tools.

> For 10+ years, we trained ourselves to function in a totally dysfunctional environment and learned all kinds of lessons which only make sense in the context of that dysfunction.

For me, cryptocurrencies and Web 3.0 are the culmination and perfect distillation of this whole era. Interested to see how they weather this storm. I heard a commercial the other day which stated along the lines "have you ever wished you could invest your retirement account in crypto? Well now you can!" That's when I knew the shark has officially been jumped.
I suppose "scare" was perhaps too strong a word. "Steer" would have been more appropriate. Search Apple's website for "repair" to get a sense of how important they think letting consumers know about this program is.

You'll find 404 responses when you click on repair manual links; the link to the self service repair is at the bottom of the support page; the self service storefront is very deliberately non-descript and as others have mentioned immediately raises red flags for people trained to look for basic clues about a site's legitimacy. Etc.
Not really, because people perceive the threat differently. A spike in the steering wheel is very obviously extremely dangerous. Not having a functioning airbag is invisible. If you are trying to change people's behavior, the perception of risk is more important than the actual statistical risk.
I agree that they would likely be higher for bikers without helments; I guess I misunderstood what the study was about, but my point was that if you relied on self-reporting for the number of fatalities, nobody would be able to report that they died for obvious reasons.

I wonder if there is actually evidence that people buy more with a cart vs hand held basket, overall. Obviously they likely do for that trip. It seems to me that if I only use a hand held basket, I'm making more trips to the store for my family of 4. Probably daily if not every other day. If I use a cart and purchase a lot, I go to the store less. But, did I actually purchase more or less food in a months duration? I'd bet it's about the same. It's not like I'm literally eating more depending on the method of procurement. I eat about the same, every day. But I would be spending more time standing in lines and wasting more gas by using a basket unless the market was within walking distance and I chose to walk over drive. Personally I don't really like going to shop for anything and buy as much as I can, whether it's food or clothes or anything else.

It seems proximity to the store and the number of people you're routinely buying food for would be the bigger predictors of who would use a cart over a basket, as well as lifestyle. I mean, some people choose to drive even if they live next door to the market.
Hopefully next month but it could be pushed back a couple weeks.

So far evidence-based approach seems to end up as YOLO-style approaches.

Overall culture seems to be more and more nihilistic and individualistic after dropping religion. Few people may be doing the right thing and say that we have to care about future generations. But wast majority, looking at their actions, doesn’t care.
Germany is a relatively high-trust based society, so in Berlin you don't have turnstiles like other cities. However if you are caught riding without a ticket, the fine is 60€ for the first 2 offences and goes up after that.
“And other thing, why is a 3 meters long bike road-legal?”

Because there’s nothing unsafe about it.

Better questions are: why are cars that exceed 90 mph street legal? Why are trucks with lift kits street legal? Shouldn’t we be preventing things from being on the street that are actually killing people?
That's why it's a good idea to not cycle in the "door-zone" on roads. Annoyingly, some bike "infrastructure" (i.e. bit of paint) is put directly into the door-zone of parked vehicles which typically makes it worse than useless and best avoided (which then of course risks getting ire from drivers who don't understand why you choose to cycle where you do).

One interesting way of reducing doorings is to teach drivers and passengers the Dutch reach. Basically you should always use your furthest hand to open the door as that involves twisting your body and encourages you to see a nearby pedestrian/scooter/cyclist.
Making simple games (board or pc) for my kids and playing games with them. Knowing that your parents think of you as a good person. Being helpful to others above and beyond. Those are mine that gives me an immense sense of content.
Alright, same thing here, but a bit smaller, cause my Dad was just the troop leader of a large contingent of scouts. Hundreds of parents and kids knew me, but I mostly just “pretended” to know them like you did.

I’ve met up with these people, didn’t know a single one of them. You just plainly say, “sorry, it’s been quite a few years how do we know each other?”

If they push harder, just say, “sorry, my Dad knew a lot of people, it’s all a flash of faces when you’re a kid.”

Trust me, people will get it and not give ya a hard time. When one person did, the others told him to bugger off and stop being so self important.

From there on, you can start anew. Just ask them their names and move on.
It’s a great question. FWIW, I specifically posted this review by Doug DeMuro after watching a couple others that were clearly just PR regurgitation. I personally consider him a competent and neutral reviewer after having watched his reviews of other vehicles.
Yea the mentality with phones is super annoying from both Android and Apple.. The user should have access to everything via some special interface / typing in your pin / password or whatever. The idea that the owner of the phone can be prohibited from seeing what is actually running on their device is horrible. Hope one day the norm is that users can get root on the device they own rather than it being explained that “oh that’s too powerful for users to have.. we as the company who made the device have root but you cannot..”
Yep I know, there are various CLI LSP tools and then you have awesome tools like `rust-analyzer`.

What I am lacking is a complete tool you can command to do specific isolated actions.
I am an individual, not a statistic. I am completely capable of wearing a helmet without increasing risky behavior, so why should I be prohibited from protecting myself for some dubious statistical effect?
I saw a similar argument recently, subtly different in that it was claiming the root cause was needing to look like you spent real money as a way to signal your legitimacy. I think they called it peacocking, and it’s the same idea that “virtue signalling” had before that term got used for “politics I don’t like”.

Spending money to prove you have money to spend made me think it would be a perfect fit for NFTs. (Not any NFT in particular, just so long as it’s needlessly expensive in any strictly objective sense).

Whoever actually believes they have more information than the market and is willing to stake their own money on the proposition. I'd guess that we need surprisingly few of those folks to keep the machinery humming.
If people would believe religion stuff, it’s be pretty easy to motivate them to clean up the damn planet. Of course, given that the leaders would sign off on that.

I agree with that, but it doesn't take away that giving the canal to Panama was a gift. One might argue a deserved gift, since it's Panama's territory, but it was a gift nonetheless. Panama wouldn't necessarily exist as an independent country were it not for US imperialism and constructing that canal in the first place.

However, the Noriega business would have the death of Panama had it not been for the US intervention. That was some necessary tough love for Panama.

You're right though that, at the end anyway, the canal zone was holding the country back. In the early days it may have been different. It's tough to say.

Tldr - France and french banks forced haiti to pay reparations for having earned their freedoms for so long that 2.53 out of every 3 dollars they made for centuries went to “white people”. This led to a loss of 25 billion dollars conservatively or 200 if you’re being real.

PHEV sounds like a great idea, but you end up driving around in a car with the cost, weight and complexity of two cars worth of engines just in case you occasionally need the second engine. Also, the design of the car is limited by having to accommodate the needs of the combustion engine so you lose out on a lot of your interior space. One of the nicest parts of EVs is that you can reclaim a lot of internal space for passengers since the engine is a lot simpler.

As electric cars keep getting cheaper and the ubiquity of rapid charging keeps improving, I think for a lot of people the PHEV concept won't work out as well as it sounds. It will be just as easy to rapid charge a mid-range EV for long trips and you get the benefit of all your day-to-day driving being nicer as well.
It's not so new, but its MS, and the thing didn't look like a popular one, so chances for it to be abandoned are very high, I suppose.
It's one step in the right direction, but as far as I'm aware it's still too awkward to use (e.g. AFAIK it requires a separate recording and debugging session), ideally I should just be able to hit the "Run" button in my IDE, and have "time slider controls" which allow me to pause and rewind on the fly, while seeing the visualized program state update.
Righting a wrong is never satire.
Mechanically it's the same as divination. It just has all the superstition and pretenses of the supernatural stripped away. E.g. I don't think there's anything magical about the I Ching, but it can be a useful way to consider a situation from an angle you wouldn't normally choose.

It depends on the level of quality, polish, precision or originality that you want. It’s pretty likely that some people will be much more talented and skillful with this new class of AI-art tools than others. People will figure out how to do much more with these (evolving) tools, by exploring and interacting with them, and build up a body of knowledge which they can teach to others. I imagine that there will be classes in how to make better AI-art, which could have wide appeal since the technology makes content creation much more approachable for casual users.
I would love to see stuff like open archives become the standard.

In my experience, I've noticed a few things that are potential problems:

1. I was surprised by this, but Google seems to delist papers in its search results after a certain amount of time. People have complained about older results vanishing from Google search; this seems to apply to archive papers as well. I wonder if there's space for a dedicated academic search engine (although to be effective, such an engine would have to index regular web sources as well).

2. People still use peer review as a yardstick, for better or worse. So you'll see something reported in a mainstream journalistic source, with a caveat that it hasn't been peer reviewed yet. It would be nice to have some way of implementing peer review in a more distributed way. There's been a fair amount of thought about this, although it seems like efforts to do so kinda lost steam after archives started taking off; it's almost as if there was a collective "ok we're exhausted and have managed to get archives some traction so we'll just leave that peer-review problem on the table".

3. It seems like there's some room for other types of archives other than the "-arxiv" sites. I know they have been out there but they've not attracted quite as much attention.

4. Journals do provide copyediting services; it's a relatively minor thing but professional layout, fonts, and design do improve readability.

I think the second problem is the most pressing, maybe along with the first.

It's a little odd to see a paper in a public repository getting a lot of discussion from experts in the field, approving it essentially, and then it getting treated as second class because it hasn't undergone formal peer-review. Sometimes the blog posts and social media discussions are more thorough than what would ever happen in a formal peer review context. On the other hand, I still think anonymity is important in peer review, and social media hype has its own set of serious problems.
That was “only” a few hundred billion.

The physics don't work that way. With a normal bicycle, you go over the handlebars because the whole bike tips forward - it's just gravity + momentum. Then you faceplant.

With a wheelbase of 2-3m, there's just no way the bike tips forward like this, especially with the rider positioned towards the back. Couple that with the fact that cargo bikes travel at lower average speeds and it's not clear to me how this injury occurs.

I also did some Perl and that was super common. I also remember most 90s non-web software also using flat files. Even enterprise stuff, even when they had centralized storage in a file server. Sometimes they had databases but those were also accessed directly in the disk, sqlite-style. I remember seeing Clipper, FoxPro and MS Access being used in this manner.

After Perl I graduated to doing web stuff with a Microsoft Access (!) file stored in the disk alongside my .ASP scripts, exactly like one would do with sqlite today. It was quite performant.

I want a code hosting service that deploys a Dockerfile to both a web app/api and a queue/cronjob using http endpoints. I can attach Postgres databases (fork, restore), caches, file hosting, static files, email to the web app/apis. It should scale to zero (in bill too) if a request/job is not running and autoscale. It should alert me of performance issues and errors. It should also have a domain manager so it can map to our domains or have a custom myservice.myuser.hostingservice.com with HTTPS, WAF, CDN. Currently I have to set them all manually in Google Cloud Run. Render and Fly.io are also progressing.
