Pitlock are nice. The day I lost my Pinhead key and opened one with a flathead and a hammer in less than a minute was a little sobering. They’re still better than a quick release.
You can run Pihole on any crappy raspberry pi you have around.

I ran mine on a Raspi Model B. You know, the one with the RCA plug and SD card slots. From 2012. At some point the SD was so messed up I couldn't ssh into it any more, but it still worked.

Now Pihole is running on my Thinkcenter minipc as a Socker image along with a good dozen others. I don't have to worry about SD corruption or sudden shutdowns any more.
all you need is a pipe bender, right?
I don't know about the Netherlands, however here in Flanders the two level racks might be common but I think I've never seen a bike on the higher level. They're just used double spaced, with bikes only on the lower hoops. When they're (half-)full people just put their bikes next to the racks.
Surely air must get into the can somehow when you are chugging it - why not speed up the process.
They’re called wheel benders because they bend wheels. Bicycle wheels are strong in the direction of ordinary load, but relatively fragile being pushed from the side. In that kind of rack, it’s very easy to apply force to the side of the wheel, because that is the only contact point keeping it upright.
They supply an NTU that they plug the fibre into and then, yeah, you plug whatever into it or use the WIFI.

(my best guess for why they turned off the ports is they just did a big swap-out of the original NTU for a new NTU + WIFI base and -maybe- did an over-exuberant reconfiguration that caught people still on the old NTUs like us.)
Sure but thinking that the American people don’t implode if the stores are empty and you’re sent a bag of corn every month for your calories is also not realistic.
I wouldn’t really recommend Berkeley Physics series to self-learners.

Without a teacher's help, it would be really difficult. I don't think it is impossible.
The problem is probably more the EU directive that caused the privatization, because it requires that all European rail services compete commercially. Which means they are all required to make a profit even if it is a net negative to society. I can't wait for an EU directive that requires our firefighters to compete commercially, following the example of Marcus Licinius Crassus this would seem quite doable.
I am talking about permanent fixtures here. And anyway, there ARE 12VDC lights without a bunch of electronics junk inside them. They're readily available for folks and designers who want _really_ _nice_ lighting.
They can be found at any surplus store. Unlike Syrian rebels, Ukraine will surely remove your plumbing company decal.
Wait, what problem? Do you also believe that Deutsche Bahn was privatized, as in the ownership being transferred from the government to private citizens? If not, can you please clarify for the benefit of other readers of the thread?
I literally checked out in 20 seconds today. The store has an app, you scan food with your phone as you put it in your cart, and then the only thing you need to do at the lane is pay (and show ID if you’re buying beer).
If it's on the owner's property, it's probably kosher. Many cities have rules about the proximity of bike racks/stands to fire hydrants, parking meters, etc., but those generally concern public sidewalks.

I say probably because, knowing this country, I am positive someone can find a municipality that bans storeowners from putting bike stands on their property.

> - "RAID is not a backup" primarily because "you could rm -rf". ZFS snapshots cover that failure mode to the same extent that synchronization with offsite does

Not really. You need to be synchronizing to a _write-only_ backup archive. A local ZFS snapshot can be deleted locally.

As is always the way when you make people vote on a specific Thursday when many people are busy juggling getting kids to/from school, themselves to work, and cooking dinner. Historically of course Thursday was pension day when the pensioners were all out to get their pension anyway.

In 1979 it was 42/45 for under 25s - 7% below average, and 47/45 for over 55s, 5% over average.

in 1997, over 65s voted 36% Tory vs 31% nationally - 16% above average. Under 24s voted 27%, 13% below average.

In 2019, over 65s voted 64% Tory vs average 45%. That's 42% above average. Meanwhile under 25s voted 19% tory, 38% under average.

That's a massive increase in age polarisation in just 22 years and increasing even more over 40. That is not a good thing.
Couple years ago there was a Worms LARP in Poland. Yes, the game. People dressed up as worms, there were rules about movement in each turn, throwing granades etc.
I think the simplicity in question refers to the installation's practicality for locking bikes.
What do you want to do in tech? You want to do software development (like building apps, websites, etc) or something else? I pivoted into software after starting somewhere different and happy to give advice.
> if you think of variable assignments as queries to the compiler

Why should I?

I mean, I very much want to be able to make queries of the compiler and I think the notion of programming as productive conversation with the compiler (and other tooling) is a wonderful perspective. I should absolutely be able to ask questions of the compiler, and have it keep an eye on some things while I change other things. What I don't see is why I should be forced to make such a request just because I want to give some intermediate value a name. It seems to me that I should be able to do either, both, or neither of those as appropriate.
There are plenty of large companies with established hiring practices and standardized interview schemes out there that don't do FAANG-style coding interviews, though. And on the whole they don't do well at delivering software, and have a reputation as terrible places to do software work.

And on the other side: are there major employers who implement rigorous coding interviews who... don't have a history of producing good software? I really can't think of any.

That's my point: the evidence is really stacked in favor of the FAANG scheme. So pointing to a handful of small outfits doesn't really sway my impression; those are just expected outliers. I've worked at smaller companies with terrible hiring success, FWIW; they ended up successful because of a few lucky hires.
Sure, but in this case specifically, "supporting (all) linux users" is already "solved" (they really only have to update their dependencies).

Also, nobody expects them to support "all" users. They are only supposed to update their dependency electron (which does the linux compatibility stuff already) and maybe maintain the distribution for one of their new gamer target groups (steam os).
Firefox on desktop is pertty solid, despite some controversial decisions.

I realized that I don't turn my lights on/off at the same time consistently enough for automation to be worthwhile.
That said, there are also a lot of similar and different designs as recommended by the largest German bicycle lobby organization [1].

I'd be curious to know what designs engineers from the Netherlands or Denmark have come up with.

Isn't AI aligned to human wishes right now? Hateful rage-baiting news took over television/radio pre-AI. I think most humans are just evil and want extremism and division. Tribalism is what makes humans human. Outsiders need to be put down. Maybe the AI is preying on our primate brains, but it's what we want.
I also thought about the same issue, the term "data" was used a bit sloppily in the article. Similarly the quote from pg explains programming Lisp as manipulating ASTs, which isn't true in a strict sense, more precise: you manipulate a representation that is much closer to an AST.

But I don't think these make the larger points any weaker.
I do agree it needs better default widgets. Like when turning a brightness dial it's easy to accidentally scroll the page.

It's also insanely cumbersome to use things like circadian lighting at the moment, which I use extensively since my apartment doesn't that much sunlight. It requires editing a YAML file, which requires installing some editor plugin, which requires supervisor mode, which required a full reinstall as a VM because I'm an idiot and installed the docker version of HA at first. And then figuring out how the hell to get a VM to start at startup in headless mode. And then fumbling for hours with how to install HACS and other things.

But yeah, it's nice for open source standards.
I believe there was a proposal for something like this a while back, before the DoH we see now. IIRC, the idea was that DNS information could be contained inside the web page, maybe enclosed in a tag. Addresses for ad servers perhaps.

Few of these ideas can be expected to work unless Evil, LLC controls the program the end user chooses to read the web. When an advertsing services company is also the majority share "web browser" vendor, then ideas like this become feasible. Whereas if web users can choose any client to access the web,[FN1] then these ideas would be non-starters. The open source text-only browser I am using is not going to read the IP address of an ad server embedded in a web page and connect to it automatically. Even if it did, I would simply edit the source code to disable that behaviour and re-compile.

1. In theory they can but in practice they generally don't.
> Teams inter operated faster, iterated changes faster, & there were less issues with inter department libraries. Bugs were far fewer.

It's hard for me to come up with a scenario where even a single one of these follows from not using the STL. How do you "iterate changes faster" when you re-invent vectors and hashmaps so much that it becomes muscle memory? How does each team writing their own containers mean "teams interoperated faster"? How does the STL cause "issues with inter department libraries", and what bugs were caused by using standard library containers? At which point did you ever have to debug a std::vector?

I'm genuinely interested if you can retell what problems you ran into there. Maybe my creativity is limited, but I'm drawing blanks.

(To be clear, at the scale of Facebook or Google, writing folly or abseil can easily pay off because you can integrate, say, your profiling or debugging tooling more tightly. But that doesn't appear to be what you're alluding to. I'll also concede resource management on embedded devices.)
I have, just not when I’m in Ohio.
Yeah, but that's the minority on a global scale.
Space isn't a constraint in VR, you could have an infinite number of displays that you could teleport between as quickly as your interface allows. The limiter on productivity increase probably has more to do with your ability to remember what each display is for and the ease of locating and switching to them.

What a dismal existence.

In the land I live, I just do this:

1. Enter the store and immediately present my loyalty barcode from my phone app to the scanner

2. Pickup a hand scanner which is now associated with me for this visit (I could even use my phone as a scanner, but I haven't tried it; I assume it wouldn't be as fast as the good laser hand scanner device).

3. Scan every item as I put it into my cart. If I buy multiples, I tap the + button on the scanner after I scan. If I buy produce that needs to be weighed, I go to the scale kiosk, put the thing on the scale, make no more than 3 taps of the screen, and then stick the printed label on my item and scan it.

4. To finish my shopping, I go to the checkout area and drop my scanner into a slot. Then I walk to the checkout kiosk of my choice and scan my loyalty barcode (from my phone app or from a plastic keyfob thing). The screen shows details of what I bought, but I ignore that and quickly pull up Apple pay with my bank card, move the phone near the card reader, and pay my bill.

5. Tap the screen to choose physical short receipt (just a barcode used to pass the exit gate), long receipt with barcode, or opt to use my loyalty barcode to exit.

All of this is so easy, and the experience is refined to the point where there's little left to improve.

Same. I tried the “dual monitor” setup for a couple years and just went back to one. The second was just causing distractions and context switching. It’s easier to focus on what’s right in front of you than look around for stuff.
Hmm not sure it’s what you want but the ERD diagramming in DBeaver is awesome.
Context switching is terrible for productivity.

And displaying more things mean you need to context switch less.
> Girard argues that we don’t develop our own desires but want what others seem to want.

Garbage. I might feel bad that I haven't read Girard, except that the author admits he hasn't either.

> Think about it: rituals before, during, and after the game; group singing; deep emotional involvement; the use of symbols to show that you are part of a certain group. These are all religious aspects. Every club has legendary players; heroic figures, shaped by immortal memories, admired by everyone at the club.

Sorry, Niklas. I've been to Wrigley Field when the Cubs win and everyone sings "Go, Cubs, Go." It's different in America, and by the way, you're welcome to wear the visiting team's baseball cap to a game, too. We know it's just a game.

In the video [1], Girard says:

I think desire usually is born out of the contemplation of someone else who is desiring and who designates to you the object he is desiring as desirable.

Sorry, this is barely even a half-truth. Middle schoolers are walking down the street not looking where they're going because they're staring at their smartphones, and that's where they get desire. If they grow up, they learn to think for themselves.

More from the video:

Peter Robinson [narrator]: Serpent, Eve and apple.

Rene Girard: Serpent in the mimetic theory of desire is a symbol, an image, of the mediator. In other words, the one who directs the subject towards the bad desire. There are churches who know what they are talking about much better than most people think. Know that example is the key to bad as well as good behavior, and this is nothing but what I call mimetic desire.

... and this is why people like to make fun of French intellectuals.

I never use self-checkout machines. For one thing, it's a lot more work for me, scanning codes and packing items into my bags. For another, I enjoy the conversations I have with the tellers.
Stories from an exchange in Switzerlands, the experience in the two largest grocery cooperatives/grocery stores is quite different: you have the option of using your own phone to scan things, carry a scanner gun with you, or use a scanning station at the exit, no scale, no bagging required, or you can go to a standard register. There might be a person standing around verifying things are scanned and checking on/helping you, but often enough, only one. I've backtracked after forgetting to pay multiple times because they basically trust you.

Living in a high trust society is nice. We should work on scaling this
One way of looking at the fodder for cattle is that the human palatable parts of it are reserves. We can "downshift," downsize our herds and redirect that without redisman's "send you a bag of corn every month" (plus calcium hydroxide for nixtamalization) extreme which more belongs to something like a post-nuclear war scenario.

The big problem is going to be the places that don't have reserves of most anything including money, like the parts of the Middle East and thereabouts that normally get their wheat from Russia and the Ukraine, the latter long called "the breadbasket of the world."

I think the point is that if there's a urea shortage, good governments would waive the DEF requirement until it ends, rather than effectively saying "sorry, it's illegal for you to drive that truck at any price".
This is a fascinating read. It seems self-checkout works a little bit differently in Norway. We have self-checkout lanes in many (most?) stores in Norway. There is usually an employee nearby at all times (in case there's a problem, or when an employee must verify the age for alcohol beverages, and similar). For a regular trip by the store to shop groceries, most of the items can be scanned quickly and easily. A few items must be weighed manually (mostly various types of vegetables and fruits). There are some differences between stores on how well these systems work, but in my experience, most of them work very well.

I would still use the "old" checkout when I have a wagon full of wares, as that makes it easier to pack the bags. The self-checkout counters are quite small and so are inconvenient for large amounts of items.

> Enforcing the use of the built-in scanner

BJ's Warehouse Club self checkouts used to weigh your purchase, but also had infrared sensors to ensure it went on the belt after scanning. The sensors could not detect anything shorter than about 3/4" of an inch (20mm), so if you bought something like an SD card it would yell at you to re-scan it. You might think you could hold it up as the belt moved but they knew how many infrared beams should be broken by it - and would yell at you. I solved the problem by not renewing my membership.

The Costco self checkouts (mentioned by the author) don't have hand-scanners like they do at Sam's Club. So if you buy something heavy like a case of drinks you have to either muscle it up onto the scanner or wait for the attendant. This is something they can improve.

Sam's now has an app that lets you scan and pay for your purchases through your phone. You will still get your cart looked over at the exit by an employee, but the experience has been very good. I think Walmart will be offering a branded version for their stores soon.

> You don't have a source for your claim either. I'm at least saying that you should recognize how Google provides you plenty of free tools like search, docs, sheets, present, maps, email, etc and entertainment like YouTube.

I would argue none of these are free, because they use/sell your data. If it wasn't so google could not exist.

> Facebook allows you to connect with your friends, talk to people about your interests, a marketplace, entertainment from photos, videos, streams. Meta also offers Insta for sharing photos or stories and they are investing heavily

For facebook and instagram there are at least studies which have shown the harm they are doing to teenagers and children, so there is at least some established facts that show the bad influence (lets not even get into the political bits).

> These companies do a lot and I do not think you should trivialize all that they have done by saying that they've done something bad in the past and not even say what they have done.

That's a slippery slope though, at some point you can justify working for anyone because you don't want to consider their actions of the past to judge them. What about continued action though, e.g. meta burying their own studies on their affect on the mental health of teenage girls just to continue making their profits. At some point someone has to take responsibility to continue working for them (and some people are even actively involved in these decisions).
For sure, nothing is 100% secure (and even with multiple U-locks an angle grinder will win out after a while). I've had a good experience with hexlox so far - they are super hard to remove without a key. Haven't had any theft issues in multiple years of parking around San Francisco.

One advantage to using Notepad is that it reveals newlines in your paste data very clearly, so you can select a substring if needed.
This would be considered discriminatory and not allowed.
Amazon stores do this. Also Uniqlo has a really cool approach where each item tag has an RFID chip and you just place your entire bag into the scanner and it automatically detects all your items.
