I have 6 medium-sized shops, 2 shops selling only vegetables, 6 small shops selling basics and ready-to-eat meals in 10 minut walk radius. This is a lot, but in other parts of town you will probably have at least one medium and one small shop open between 6-22. It's in city, but most villages in here often have similar situations. So I would say it depends on country.
I wrote this (in golang) to satisfy my need to generate STLs for 3d printing.

In general I like to write code to define objects, but there are some situations where a graphical editing UI would be nice. ie- Curve and polygon design.

You can sort of imagine a hybrid approach where you could crack open a mini editor to design a curve and then use it to generate code (table of numbers) which you could then extrude/sweep/loft or whatever.

I have one of the upper models (DEC850) I bought last year, and been meaning to write about it. Overall, it's been great, although I haven't gone through and done as much analysis as the linked post.

I should've moved to a dedicated home firewall sooner, but wasn't super high on my priorities. But with all the problems home modems/routers seem to be having, along with an upgrade to fiber internet that included a modem with hard coded default credentials that could not be changed I made the switch.

Only glitch I've noticed is a few problems with unbound dns, that I need to spend some more time on. DNS over TLS doesn't seem to be working for me, and I've had a couple glitches now when there are power fluctuations that I have to restart DNS after boot. But that could easily be something wonky in my setup and need to do more work to isolate the issue.

Overall, I would recommend for anyone who wants something a bit better than just the consumer grade stuff provided by an ISP, and for small business, remote sites, etc.

> - A note-taking tool that allows me to organize notes in a graph with links between them (like a wiki), not as files and folders in a tree, which enforces the invariant that every note is transitively reachable from some "root" (by following links) so I never lose a note.

There is a class of note taking apps that's becoming increasingly popular (at least I perceive it that way) that does this. They store notes in local Markdown files, and when you link between pages, they can build and render a graph based on them. For example:

- Obsidian: https://obsidian.md/

- Logseq: https://logseq.com/

- Joplin: https://joplinapp.org/ (not sure if it's built-in, but there's a plugin: https://github.com/treymo/joplin-link-graph)
This is the last thing you want to do. By creating a low pressure zone in your home humid outside air will seep in through every crack, gap, and uncaulked seam in your house.

Such a system is basically a mold incubator. The correct method is to:

1) have central HVAC

2) have an energy recovering ventilator (ERV), zhender is a good brand.

#2 Constantly cycles fresh air throughout your home and it’s intake is controllable and filtered.
I agree. But many Swedes are heavily indebted (with mortgages), and their parents made a fortune from negative real interest rates in the 70-ties + the asset bubble of the 2000s. Now they want the same. Understandable.

The Swedish Riksbank (actually the oldest central bank in the world) is formally independent, but everything is politics in Sweden. I would not be surprised if the indebted middle class come out on top here.
> Also set up one party states which ideologically align with every US enemy out there including USSR/Russia while completely ruining their own countries.

It is unclear if you're referring to Cuba or to Venezuela or both. What exactly does "ideologically aligning" mean? Also does actions taken by a global superpower's military on behalf of elites in that superpower (I'm referencing the article here, "Invade Haiti, Wall Street urged, the US obliged") to steal, confiscate, block trade count towards "ruining their own countries"? My guess is that you're kind of trying to imply they caused their own ruin and deserved it by not being "ideologically aligned" with the US (does that mean Wall Street?), is that inaccurate?
Make sure that after Wall Street hijacks your government and uses your taxes and lives to terrorize some poor country you've barely heard of, for the benefit of bankers and capitalists you haven't heard of at all, that you, personally, feel guilty about it.

That is the most crucial part, because you will have to repent and atone for those deeds, never them.
Modern ICE have been refined for over 100 years and have improved enormously. But there is just a lot more involved in making them move than electric engines.

That's not to say EVs aren't complex or hard to build. There are a lot of parts inside the battery pack. But they aren't moving parts and they don't need the same kind of regular maintenance. Electric cars don't have oil to change and they almost never need brakes replaced because of regen. They don't have O2 sensors that fail, they don't have spark plugs to change, they don't have timing belts to replace, etc. If you look at a list of the top 10 most frequent car repairs, maybe 9 of them can't happen on an electric car. It is just a simpler system of moving parts. The complexity is in a different place.

The problem with PHEV is you have the different types of complexity of both systems combined just in an effort to boost range.
It's just text.
I don't see why it has to be one way or the other. aside from whole foods JWO (which is great!), I have yet to see a single grocery store that lacks checkout lanes. if you like that service, you're in luck! it's available pretty much everywhere. but let's have self-checkout as an option too. nine times out of ten, I'll be walking out the door with my groceries while you're still waiting in line.
Algorithm of this version seems brutally simple.

I think 2 can be complicated as well. Increasing his tax liability along with many other very wealthy people basically requires taxing unrealized gains, which if applied to less wealthy people in the future could be very bad for them.

I’d like to see something that specifically targets the loophole of borrowing against stocks & repaying by taking additional loans and selling only assets which have declined in price.
The same way it is today. Nothing about voting would change, only who votes on what and when.
Return is directly correlated to risk.

Your comment makes you seem like a very easy mark for the scammers targeting you.

Ah! An optimist who believes humanity will exist 1,000 years from now!
Nice to see some RDF projects evolving outside the Java (RDF4J) ecosystem- RDF is vastly undervalued in industry IMHO.
"Risk" in this context generally refers to default risk, not the chances that the opportunity cost of your T-bill'd money exceeds the return.
Sounds like a lot of FUD, the politicians won’t do anything like that because free stuff very easily causes divisive policies. What will happen, and is happening, is that more luxury housing is being built and less code ( regulations ) implemented. So the result is more inventory, which puts pressure on housing. Also there’s a LOT of vacant homes which have high carrying costs; eventually those owners will get margin called and have to either rent them out or sell them, which will put even more pressure. So I agree with the ends of your thesis, but not the means.
What I am curious about is how the emissions related to recycling batteries will negate the lifetime emission offsets of electric cars versus combustion engine cars.

I am not entirely convinced EV cars will have a watershed effect on emissions as much as people think they will. I worry that, although they're likely to reduce emissions over lifetime ownership and use, they are a big distraction in terms of how much people are presumably betting on them saving us from climate change.
I think your presumption is illogical, since you take someone's car keys to stop them from committing a crime and harming/killing others.
I dont understand why congress doesnt just mandate that voting rights go to the ultimate owner in index funds, no the management firm. Would be a pretty simple fix.
My pet peeve is the fact that Instagram has a label for when something is a paid promotion but it is so infrequently used and poorly enforced that it might as well not exist.

It's within the same realm as the OPs argument as to what is real and what isn't.
The delegate only needs to know how many votes they have to cast, not who the votes belong to. In fact, they don't even need to know that if another organization has that information. They would just say "I use the votes delegated to me, however many, and by whomever, to vote yes (or no) on X"

Perhaps those activities _should_ be discussing helmets.
Motorsport doesn't use airbags and has a steel tubular cage exposed directly to the occupants, the helmet is mostly for protecting from impact with the cage AIUI.

All those grease monkeys driving around with aftermarket cages in their cars and not wearing helmets are actually less safe for it. The last drag strip I was at wouldn't even let you run if you had a cage and no helmet to accompany it.

Airbags and no steel tubes next to your head change the calculus completely.
Yes! Rendered markdown comments - especially with mermaid or equivalent diagram support and the ability to link to functions/classes/etc - directly in the IDE would be amazing!
Not without substantial noise, which is what drove me to become open-air pilled.
Solar panels + heat pump (an AC that can cool or heat your home) completely solves this problem.

We have simple solutions to this issue, the only thing to do is make it more affordable.
The volume of mortgage backed securities is based on the volume of loans that people take. At higher interest rates, people take out fewer and smaller loans. The Fed buying up more MBS would put downwards pressure on interest rates, which would be diametrically opposed to their goal (in your scenario) of maintaining high interest rates.

There is a correlation between liquidity and rates, but it's an inverse correlation. That's Open Market Operations 101.

Besides, if your macroeconomic goal is to reduce inflation (which is the reason for raising interest rates in the first place), one subgoal should be to reduce the volume of loans that are being issued. After all, bank-issued loans are new money, which adds to demand, which helps prop up inflation. That's Monetarism 101.
Rocket Starliner soars into orbit; about those Raptor RUDs in Texas
I actually don't have a good answer for this. Not financial advice. Talk to a fiduciary.

The problem with inflation is that you need to protect yourself before the fact, and at this point, it's difficult to read to what extend the fed will respond with rate hikes and how much inflation we get going forward.

In my personal view, it would be stupid to hike to 10% since that will also cut off the needed supply response: this will decapitate energy, farm, and housing expansion while at the same time decimating all forms of wealth. But there is a possibility depending on how trigger happy the fed becomes.

More likely than not, they raise rates, but it stays below the rate of inflation (3-5%), so anything that yields above that range is a good investment. Anything below would be protective.

As for stocks, I'm looking at individual companies that are cheap with high cash flow that have macro tailwinds, but I'm still waiting. There are always bull markets inside of bears, but you have to look for them. Mind you, bear markets have vicious rally from time to time which fool people into getting an all clear signal. A bear markets job is to bleed everyones money dry, which is why I'd recommend people stay away until no one is interested in stocks anymore.

You need complete despair.
> Haiti became the first and only country where the descendants of enslaved people paid the families of their former masters for generations

This just makes me so sad.

Here's the thing: what's in the past is over; what can we do about it today is all that matters.

Wouldn't be great if the French decided to spend a couple of billion dollars to set up schools, hospitals, colleges, etc. in Haiti?

Everybody makes mistakes. But it takes real courage to own up your mistakes and fix them.
Also, the average person likely drives much more than rides a bicycle, so they're much more likely to be injured in a car accident. But no one would suggest mandatory helmet use for drivers, even though that would likely prevent many times more deaths and injuries than mandatory bicycle helmets.
I have a small joke on this, but I don't see the point
Haha making new tools is easier and in some ways (at least short term) more rewarding
> People need to stop pointing the camera at themselves. The world is so much more beautiful.

Uh what? People don't need to do anything. You might think the world is prettier without all the divas in it, and I might be of the same opinion. Doesn't mean anyone else needs to change. Just follow the accounts you like, mute the ones you don't but 'need' to follow (friends, etc.)

Same. Whoever wants to do a thermal review (complete with IR imagery) gets a Monolith on the house.
Well said. There is power in saying “no”, and it seems sometimes that we’ve forgotten that that’s an option. We are constantly on the receiving end of demands by entities that assume they have the authority to expect a cooperative response: “What is your race? What is your SS number? What are your pronouns? What is your phone number? Rate us on a scale of 1 to 5.” In most cases, “no” is the most polite response that you should consider supplying.

I know that this response, the only dignified response, is unusual, and that troubles me. I know because of the reaction I receive when the cashier at the supermarket asks me for my zip code and I refuse to supply it, for just one out of many examples.
Let's save the term "cancel culture" for people getting fired over a tweet.

Economic sanctions in response to invading another country is a very different thing, and not a new thing.
Yes, it's a persistent misunderstanding because communication is hard and folks aren't always exactly precise. It is very common to hear from someone, "ripgrep has replaced grep for me." You might even here people state it more objectively, like, "ripgrep is a grep replacement." The problem is that the word "replace" or "replacement" means different things to different people. So that FAQ item was meant to tease those meanings apart.
Sure, there's a number of paid IDEs and text editors out there. You may be able to follow in their steps, use similar pricing models, etc.
Waste heat from AC is nothing compared to the ~1.3kw per square meter of solar irradiance.

Side note: We really need better solar panels!
The law I was talking about was passed in 2002, if I'm not mistaken. It specified what "remaining energy", so as to speak, would the German utilities be allowed to extract from already operating reactor units before decommissioning them, which, based on their average output, would have been around 2022-ish. I'm not quite sure how any of those things you're citing are relevant to this, since they don't say anything about repealing this law in which these things where mandated. The fact that in 2022-ish (nowadays really in 2023) Germany is going to do what Germany said in 2002 that it would do in 2022-ish hardly seems like "swift change of political course" to me.
"Truth" in this context refers to evaluating how an election process captures voter preference. It has nothing to do with the actual policies, and does not model where those preferences come from.
It seems more natural that people would buy more stuff since now they can carry more stuff. It's impractical to carry as many normal shopping carts items, due to their weight, in a hand basket. One needs only a trip to Costco (wholesale bulk purchase store in the US) to see the average shopping cart
It's an apples to apples comparison. Anything else is just cherry picking. There are plenty of cars that can't go 60K miles without some part of the powertrain needing maintenance. The question is how long something lasts without needing any repair. The warranty is a good approximation of this. Obviously with constant repair things can last much longer.

iPhones are irrelevant to the discussion, lol.
That's what airbags are supposed to help with, thankfully.
> Only, I don't have enough cash to cover the bill, so I sell about a quarter of my stock, leaving me with 7,500 shares.

Don't forget you're also taxed on that sale, so you'll have to sell more than that.
An IDE that provides a linear view of your code base. Follow code paths as though they were all inline, e.g. expand views of function/method internals inside the calling function, etc. No more changing files/modules.
There are exceptions like what Mao Ze Dung did.
Politicans hiding the cost of things is the fact of nature. No proposal for Medicare for All that has ever been floated has ever seen a realistic price tag attached. The trust fund's depletion is no fact of nature, it is merely an occasion when this will become a little clearer to the public.

When this happens, voters will not like what they are being offered quite as much as they do now, when the costs are some distant abstraction; there will be a whole lot more hesitation and skepticism. And if pointing this out is a "right wing talking point" then go ahead and call me Margaret Thatcher.
Intel's algorithm is very clever and would take a lot of space to implement in hardware. The implementation underlying the CRC32** instructions is probably some set of shift registers. That's a pretty good space/speed tradeoff to make.

My largely uninformed guess is that they added the instructions to get fast CRCs for the filesystem 'for free'. There aren't many other cases where software CRC can be a bottleneck that also use these polynomials.
I'm reminded of the movie "In Time". The premise/concept was amazing (time as a currency) but the execution/movie sucked.

instead of pursuing speculative gains consider investing it in yourself or in your immediate locale or region, in the economic and ecological transformation we all sorely need

devaluation of everything is a consequence of unsustainable economics and the fix is not to find a convenient hidey-hole for your money but to invest time, money and attention building a future sans witless speculation, profligate consumption, public and corporate unaccountability, and consumer monoculture
I'm a fan of "The Little X" series so I bought this one when it just came out.

I believe the author did tried their best and a great job they did - which made me work through half of the book (which is a lot for me, and for this topic). However, I did gave up eventually and decide to revisit it in the long future.

My guess is people should discuss more about dependent types - I remember functional programming concepts were also hard for me as well. But after being exposed to those conversations for a while (functional programming was one of the hot topic a dacade ago), I find those concepts were not that hard to understand, they're just different from C-like's perspective.
I'm betting that hiring is harder for Rust.

The post gives Go 3/5 for stability, and Rust gets 5/5 for it's memory safety benefits. The post says that memory safety was the primary deciding factor. Hello? Go and Node.js are garbage collected. They are trivially memory safe. Rust's borrow checker is helpful, but it does not make memory safety trivial.

The post concludes that Rust attracts more transgender people than other communities. Even if that's true, how is that going to help the business? It's not like they should be hiring based on gender.

Although Rust + Electron works, Dart + Flutter would trivially beat this particular combination in developer convenience and productivity, and also user experience.
I use a car now, but it is part of my once a week commute that I go to the grocer.

I think street parking difficulty really depends on the neighborhood, in general SF is no Manhattan. I also grew up in the city and based on my observation seem to find parking considerably faster than my peers, so YMMV.

When I lived near Dolores park, if it wasn't the weekend parking was really easy. In Divorce triangle, parking is a little harder but still not that bad.

e: Duboce triangle, not divorce triangle haha
Assuming i) you've set topic retention so that old messages still exist and your new consumer can "replay from 0"; and ii) your new consumer is using their own consumer group, then existing consumers won't be impacted.
> Yet, lethal TBIs are more likely to come from motor vehicle accidents than from bicycle accidents.

Is that per mile, per minute, or per lethal TBI? Also, is a collision between a bicycle and a motor vehicle a motor vehicle accident or a bicycle accident?

Of course, bike helmets protect against more than just brain injury. They also protect against road abrasion of some portion of the head, which is not usually a factor for car occupants, except if they're ejected or they're in a car that rolls over and doesn't have an roof or an effective roll bar.

Bike helmets are much lower expense and hassle than car helmets (which are mostly motorcycle helmets) and neck restraints, etc. If it's a public use bike system, especially the leave anywhere bikes, the expense and hassle gets overwelming, and helmets for customers of a pedal cab would be similar.

I've got a bike helmet with integrated lighting, which adds functionality and is kind of neat, although it was much more expensive than a good enough helmet.
This comment section is another reason why Hacker News is not like real life :) Shopping carts are wildly popular where I live.

I wonder if shopping carts became popular alongside the rise of the car, thus you were more likely to get a “cars worth of groceries.” Another innovation in the early 20th century was the rise of bare-bones, almost-at-cost grocers outside of town that you had to drive to which during the Great Depression was were people were starting to go more often, instead of the local market.

I had that feeling about Neal Stephenson.
