We really need regulations to standardize batteries and charge stations in the US. Federal govt really dropped the ball here and their failure to do so is hampering adoption. And I don’t know how the US govt gave away billions without these specific conditions.

Wow! Realtime notebook collaborative editing! This is going to be so cool for teaching (allow students to fill-in part of the code block).

Have you tried this yes? Is the idea to run jupyter on a machine with a public IP and port 8888 open allowing the server to be accessed from multiple people at the same time? Would this work services like `ngrok` that make you personal computer available online?
Hoarding is a fear, you may manage it with various techniques, but the simplest is to just face it by deleting everything. The status quo is already paradoxical - you have it all but can never use anything of it actually. Deletion would just admit the fact.

I’d add don’t delete things that are factually useful, like work/gym playlists or documentation bookmarks which you use weekly at least. But if you feel that creates another spiral, get rid of that as well.
Why do they do this? Why do they just keep pulling on the benefits to people that already have enough?
Lots of assumption buried in your comment/worldview about what's actually causing inflation. Is it actually just a slow accretion of growing costs for resources, distribution? Is it companies deciding that now would be a great time to increase prices "because inflation" and thus get ahead of the nascent wage growth that was threatening to take off post-pandemic? Clearly it's a mixture of the two but the implications are completely different if its 90/10 vs 10/90.
It helps that they are heavy and annoying to dispose of, people are happy to let someone else take them instead.

Californians voted themselves two massive boons in the 70s.

1. Prop 13. This was in response to rising inflation in the 70s that had a knock-on effect to property taxes. The argument of kicking old people out of their homes was used as a stalking horse for giving the likes of Disney a massive tax break.

But there have been periods of high inflation since and some massive growth in property values. So you have a house that might've sold for $60,000 in 1975 with tax set accordingly, now being worth $3,000,000 and being taxed at twice that rate (1-2% per year capped cumulatively). So someone who buys an identical house now might be paying 20x the property tax rate.

This was further expanded by allowing people to inherit their low tax rates so you really have a two-tier system where long-term residents and corporations aren't paying anywhere near their fair share of property taxes.

2. Rent Control. This turned out to be another massive boon to incumbents. Inflation created issues with rents going up too fast. The solution? Cap the increases, just like Prop 13. And give tenants the right to stay. These too can be inherited.

So you might have someone in SF living in a $3,000,000 house that's paying $400/month in rent.

This hasn't really helped anyone since.

NYC had this too but steadily moved away from it. The last rent control lease was created in the early 1970s. There's a greater (but shrinking) pool of rent stabilized units that tend to have more reasonable rents.

Anyway, as you can imagine this creates a bunch of bad incentives. Under the table payments for leases. Illegal subletting. Properties remaining vacant because rather than be rented (I saw one estimate that 1 in 8 units in SF was vacant). The only recourse for evicting a rent controlled tenant was really an Ellis Act eviction.

Price caps only work in the very short term. They are not a long term solution.

Higher property taxes would actually help with the housing crisis in California because it's too cheap to park money in Californian property plus you could do something useful with those funds, not the least of which should be reducing state income taxes at the lower brackets.

There are fields where both Nature and Science are irrelevant. Economics is one such field. Not sure why these general journals appear to have such prestige in other areas. There are economists who publish in them, including big names, but it’s not that common and I can’t think of a single important paper I know from either journal.

No, because they have a demonstrable mechanism from pre-established science: UV radiation damages DNA, which causes cancer. Their product absorbs or scatters UV radiation.

This is the same as the teeth flossing skeptics: observational studies suggesting a paradox are interesting, but they actually need to unearth convincing alternative models with at least as much support as the dominant one for why they're right.

As mentioned in one of the comment this is linked to a certain methodology of teaching reading.

One where the reader is more focused on the overall shape of the word rather than the individual letters (from memory I think it is the "global reading method"). I think it can have great effect on the speed of reading, but downside effect is less accurate spelling. Also when encountering "Exotic" words reading speed can slow to a crawl as to try to memorize the shape of the word.

I have not found study linking the reading speed and the speed of learning, I would theorize that one has no effect on the other.

But recent technologies like auto-correction and word completion have partially compensated these mistakes and recent trend of journalism to "paraphrasing" news cable somewhat amplified its effect.
I have an old Zen 1 desktop right that has served me well, but is becoming outdated. If I am going to upgrade to DDR5 and AM5, I’d prefer to be PCIe 5 compatible so that my upgrade investment is maximized.
It's 32 bits only if you ignore microcontrollers and DSPs. Also, the size of 'long int' is definitely not constant if your code needs to be portable between Windows and something else.

I have written some DSP code that was portable between architectures that did not have same sized _char_. Thankfully it was almost 20 years ago and TMS320C55x that had 16-bit char and 16-bit int is AFAIK dead.
This simply doesn't work for me. Maybe it's because I'm Autistic, but I can't even read text highlighted in this way. A friend posted up a side-by side example, and I couldn't read the first line in the time it took me to read the whole, plain passage. My eye simply won't follow the line - maybe I am getting distracted by the odd formatting. As a coder - used to syntax highlighting - this was very surprising, but for me, this is absolutely terrible.
Solvespace 3.1 (due soon RC1 is out) will allow linking STL files, so you can do your OpenSCAD stuff that way, then link in the STLs in solvespace. Not sure how useful that's going to be but it's something for those who like both tools.
Thank you. I read the links you shared, and also about an escalator incident[1] involving football fans. These are certainly not events that seem to happen often elsewhere. I'll try to follow news there more closely in future.

They need regulations to standardize not only batteries but charge stations. Batteries should be interchangeable across brands and grade/capacity tiers.

Approaches to Undo and Redo
A system needs a filter (what is allowed in) and then you need time to work that system, which can include sending things into downstream systems. The important thing is that then those downstream systems also need filters and also need to have time for working on them (and maybe further downstream systems). If you just send them into a downstream system (like a bookmark that you never use) then they will just pile up somewhere else.

I'm surprised age and obesity aren't mentioned more in this article. It seems like both lead to less sun exposure and are also comorbid with heart disease, low vitamin D levels, etc.

If obesity and age explains the low sun exposure (less likely to be sunbathing on beaches, etc.), the assumed causality is at least oversimplified if not outright mistaken.

The evidence for a sunlight-triggered mechanism for the production of sunlight is interesting, though. I wish the article worked more to connect that finding to everything else.
> do not, and anyone else not trying to be contrarian and edgy on the back's of a humanitarian catastrophe does not either. Russia's goal was a blitzkrieg surprise win, measured in hours, taking over the capital and the government, before the West could even muster up sanctions.

Where does that assumption come from? No Russian source has ever said that. The only sources I’ve seen were the US propaganda arm. Putin said that they were now in a defensive war with the west (his words, not mine). I don’t think they expected that to be over any time soon.

But just for fun let’s assume you’re correct. Their objective is to conquer Ukraine..?

It still doesn’t change the fact Ukraine isn’t winning. They’ve lost territory, most of the military assets, and the territory they’ve lost thus far is their most productive (industry and agriculture is based around the coast). By no measure is that trending toward victory.

Now my position on this — Recall, Ukraine had one of the largest standing armies prior to this war. Order of magnitude more prepared than Iraq in the 90s or 2000s. With better equipment, heavily entrenched and much larger by land mass.

I don’t think there’s any way that Russia expected to conquer Ukraine with 50k troops (1/5 the size of Ukraine’s standing army) in 90 days. But I also don’t think Ukraine is the only theater of battle. The real war is the war of logistics and in that, Russia is far better prepared and capable.
Not sure why so many school districts empower an educational “research” establishment which seems to be uninformed about, and allergic to, empirical work… we have the same fights about math that we have about reading. It’s a mystery to me.
Much less than a bus can kill a one person startup.
I think game developers are at the front lines of changing requirements and that is why they build scriptable engines and not programs perse.

I think engines and libraries are the ultimate solution if you want to program defensively.
> If you invested near the dot com peak or the japan peak, you still haven't made
your money back.

What does this even mean? That you invested the only money you ever invested entirely in the relatively brief period of the dot com peak? Who does that? (Obviously not nobody, but ...)

To all effects and purposes, nobody does that. So what it really means is "the money you invested during that one period (perhaps a year or so), and likely only the money you invested in dot com and adjacent stocks, has yet to be made back". In the meantime, the other money you invested before and after the dot com peak has done rather well, unless you specifically made some particularly disastrous choices.
The thing I always liked about linq was it’s lazy evaluation. You could write simple selects on your data model and join and filter in the service. Allowing unit tests that operated on the joins.

I’m yet to find a better way to write crud apps than that pattern.

No, you're not. I can't even read it. I can read colour-coded (i.e. syntax highlighted) text perfectly well though. This just completely shorts out my reading - might as well be hieroglyphics to me.

Money. You also can't in practice build a large following strictly from text blogging. Let the algorithm work with you, not against you.
Maybe just a certification to make sure the thing is easily recyclable.
In my experience most SQLite writes take less than 1ms. So if your app is handling less than a thousand writes per second you will probably be OK!

A common pattern (which I've implemented myself in Datasette) is to put your writes in an in-memory queue and apply them using a single dedicated connection.
Oh god.

I know you're (presumably) not the author of the website, but if you're going to produce a method based on the theory of faster/easier reading, it helps to not have a landing page that has up front in big massive fonts a sentence that my mind parses as:

"Did you know that we humans store learned words and so just a few letters your brain reads faster are enough to recognise whole words. than your eye?"

How can one take it seriously when the very first example on the webpage fails on reading cognition!
Cars change lanes and make unindicated turns. All the risks from the side are still there, plus over the handlebars the length from the seat to the front of this bike is not impossible. Even hitting the bike itself isn't some magic protection where a helmet wouldn't help, could even be worse.
But the effective, on-the-ground housing shortage is going to continue to keep demand for housing extremely high in almost all areas with reasonable economic options or amenity migration destinations.

In theory a state could force cities to allow more development?

New Zealand had a bi-partisan agreement at the national level to prevent city council level restrictions, which is going to have a massive impact on the number of apartments built. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300433304/labour-n...

New rules that mean that property owners have a mostly automatic consent, if you build within the limitations. Councils and neighbours are mostly prevented from blocking development. There are rules/constraints on height, setbacks, shadowing (recession planes) etcetera, however the restrictions are not ridiculous.

Similarly, after the Christchurch earthquake (which caused a loss of about 5% of the housing stock), the government stepped in to force the local councils to allow more new development. https://www.mbie.govt.nz/dmsdocument/1088-housing-pressures-...

I would say NZ is fairly similar to Oregon if you want to compare size, population etcetera against the US. Although looks like NZ has more population in major cities than Oregon (Greater Auckland population 1.5M, cf Portland 650k). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_New_Zealand
Of course you don't...
We live in a competitive world where organisms (including companies) need to take advantage of every edge they can to out-compete their peers. If they don't, they risk getting left behind or being devoured by their competitors.

Taking advantage of near zero interest cash to grow like crazy is one of those. If you don't, your competitors will. Kind of a game theory situation.

Sometimes, things don't work out for individual organisms. But in aggregate, the ones that through luck and/or foresight manage to make the in hindsight correct decisions emerge as winners.
That reads to me like a somewhat-sarcastic way to make fun of people who think SQLite can't handle their write load.

Not a lot of applications have many processes that need to write at the same instant in time and cannot be put in a queue instead.

> On the flip side, I'm also of the belief that the second developer to touch a component is necessarily better equipped to answer that question, so the onus should probably be on them to make the proper generalizing changes.

This.

Given a long enough timeline, pretty much all abstractions fail. People are too timid to replace them when they do, and given enough churn, the code gets out of hand.
Florida actually has voter propositions but these are routinely thwarted by the governor and the judiciary. Examples:

1. Florida has (3 times IIRC) voted to legalize recreational marijuana. All of those have been thrown on by a court on procedural grounds; and

2. In 2018, Floridians voted to restore the right to vote to the state's estimated 1.5 million felons, which would've been an amazing step forward. The response? DeSantis basically waited until the last possible moment of the next election and instituted a poll tax, that is that any felon would have to pay full restitution to the state. Not enough time to challenge this before the election. Felons tend to skew poor so having to pay several thousand dollars in, say, court costs and probation "costs" acted as an effective barrier to the will of the people.

One should remember that as horrible as almost every Republican state government is, most of them are minority governments that are kept in power by extreme gerrymandering. Wisconsin is a prime example, where Democrats lead by 10 points but the Republicans hold an unassailable super majority in the state legislature.

Fun fact: Texas has more registered Democrats than registered Republicans.

Change is inevitable. REpublican voters like to hold onto to the past (up to and including chattel slavery, sorry "state's rights"). These people skew older and religious. The former is dying off from old age (and Covid) and the latter is in historical decline.

I mention this because despite Florida's reputation, voting to restore voting rights to felons passed and is remarkably progressive for the US and we can draw some comfort from that.
This sounds more like a last resort as we don’t pirate notes and guides. We might try to constructively solve the issue by obtaining permit from copyright holder of the original work or even register copyright for our derivative works like those notes and guides.
Me too, I find it absolutely terrible. I read it at about 10% of the speed I usually read. In the sample I saw, I could read the plain version in a few seconds, but I just couldn't make any headway with the highlighted version. I'm used to syntax highlighting, which doesn't slow me down at all (might make in fact make reading code faster) but this just throws me for a loop.
Within this context, "root access" is "root" in the sense that it refers to whatever the highest level of privilege is (the root of the trust chain). It's like a tree where each program/agent can spawn subprograms/subagents with privileges that are a subset of its parents.

With root access, you have the ultimate ability to decide what runs on the computer. Including programs that do not have root access or programs that prevent other programs from running with root access.

If the highest level of privilege is secure boot (the ability to decide what OS runs on the device), then you can run an OS that lets you read everything off the filesystem, sure. But you can also run an OS that doesn't let you read everything off the filesystem.

What matters is that if you have root, you (as a person) are at the top of the trust chain. It doesn't matter if the root permissions trickle down to seated users because you can change that if you're at the top.
This can work if the controller uses a try catch and handles the exception properly passing the error up the chain to an error output from the rest controller.

Personally I hold the errors in an array which is useful when validating a form when you want to show multiple errors from a save attempt.

However I do throw an exception if the model is somehow incorrectly configured. Like a validator method being expected but not defined.
I wrote it to try to appeal to traditionalists and progressives and people of all political persuasions!

spending time building a religious or spiritual community is fine by me, especially if it provides material services to the locality and a sense of civic responsibility

also fine with private schools although I do think they should cater to students without the means to pay exorbitant tuition (some provide tuition aid, in fact I went to one that did) and I think there is something to be said for allowing public schools some degree of curricular independence, which might make them more appealing to those who presently prefer private alternatives

really I think there's a lot most people can agree on and I hope we can begin to identify less with team R or D and reason from principles in our politics

> It’s surprisingly difficult. Not everyone does it. And we would be better off if they did!

totally agree, it's difficult but worthwhile!
I knew the average sales price in the US would be pointed out. It's still ridiculous because you have most of these people financing these cars with 5-7 years loans but also the whole "half of Americans don't have $1k in their bank account". Spending $40k when the median personal US income is $36k/yr means this car is not actually "for the masses" making a financially prudent decision.

For the 50% masses of Americans making $36k/yr or less, the people's car should actually be a used reliable economy car getting 30+ mpg (Prius, Civic, Kia, etc.)
That's only true if investors think the 10% rates are permanent. Future interest rates are a time series not a single value, and I suspect most will use a lower rate in later years reflecting some mean reversion.
I think the concern is: It's currently a getter/setter but might change later.

Maybe for debugging you want to log a callstack every time the field gets accessed, for example.

Or when you set the field, you should invalidate some cached value that uses it.
The DRAM controller has been on the CPU socket since AMD's Opteron/Athlon 64 (2003) and Intel's Nehalem first-gen Core i5/i7 products (2008). AMD's recent migration toward multiple chiplets on the CPU package has not changed the direct connection between DRAM and the CPU socket.
