One of my hobbies is the diametric opposite of this approach, I enjoy trawling domain auctions for short .coms that don't include any dictionary words but still sound fun. I love names like Quora that are meaningless but still somehow feel like they should be a real word! I believe the academic category for these is "lexical gap". During the pandemic I got a little too much into it and so now I'm actually busy working on a site to list them for sale - https://wuzmo.com - the plan is to make it essentially a cheap brandbucket.
It’s been rebuilt many times since then, even discounting the bombing of World War Two which destroyed roughly 2 million homes (of approx 5 million at the time in London).

The great fire of London literally reduced the city by so much that practically the entire city was rebuilt; that was only 350y ago (not making the case that you’re wrong about it being old, but 2,000 years is unfortunately wrong)

Anyway, urban design is not set in stone.

It’s interesting to look at the evolution of Los Angeles as an example of a city that already exists being radically changed, entire blocks of buildings were demolished to make downtown roads so wide.
You probably shouldn't be in traffic with them. At 15kmph bike lanes and even sidewalks look like good options.
This is what the internet says [0], but it might be wrong. I'm from the same small town as Ferruccio himself and I can guarantee you it's not from our dialect.

I think the point they're trying to make is that anti-intellectualism means distrust of all intellectual pursuits and those who pursue them, not some specific ones.

For example, let's say there is a group that believes that only those that study rock music are truly intellectual, and holds them in high esteem, while thinking that all others (including physicists, great writers, prophets etc) are lesser minds and not worth paying attention to. This group is not anti-intellectual, as they hold intellectuals in high regard, though having a wildly off-kilter definition of one.

In contrast, many groups view study itself as a bad activity, and those that practice it as haughty, distant, idealistic, and generally not worth listening to - these groups are what it means to be anti-intellectual; the kind that praise "street smarts" far above "book learning". People advocating for math education as the most important form of human thought are nothing alike (though I do agree they are also wrong, in different ways).
No they are not. The invasion of Iraq, the intervention of Syria, the destabilization of the Middle East are all things Europe strongly objects to.
4chan has had several large demographic shifts that have allowed out-groups to dictate the dominant culture on it, especially with the original founder basically having given up on serious moderation after 2010.

In a way, it's the natural consequence of the internet ecosystem shifting, and 4chan usually drawing its userbase from larger communities. Outcasts from sites like SomethingAwful and YTMND became outcasts from smaller forums, which became outcasts from social media.
Well, then good news! It's a suppository!

> I am worried about mine being stolen

I am curious where you live. It seems surprising that a city that's well-off enough to have scooter ride shares has a legitimate risk of theft of said scooters from public parkings.
Ask HN: What would you do if you are laid off?
There have been many layoffs recently and possibly more to come.

I realised I don't have any plan. I'm dependent on this job. Depressing at my age, 38 - that my life is at the whim of a nameless entity in the corporate machine. I have savings but can't live on that forever.

Local job market is difficult. Supply greatly outstrips demand (I am not exceptional).

Do you have a plan?
As a writing side note since you talk about story telling. No need to place parentheses here. I enjoy reading your own comment and anything you have to say can be interesting too :)
That looks like a recipe for broken bones.
The same can also be said for other highly addictive and risky activities. It's possible to try some highly addictive drug once and not get hooked or "use responsibly" - but most would say it's not worth the risk. It's especially strange in this case because there are games that look and play significantly better that don't have the same risks!
Quora is a real word, it is the plural of Quorum.
I find such mnemonics only useful for initially learning how vim works. After a while it's all just muscle memory and I don't even think about how to do stuff, I just do it.
Seeing layoffs like these everywhere, including from companies that were hiring as recently as two weeks ago.

How did these companies overestimate demand so much? Surely they could have seen that the demand from the pandemic years was an anomaly and not a sustainable "new normal"?
He mentions Expanse and yet not the smart "skyscraper" design of it's ships? Where the engines push from the "bottom" (decks-wise), not from the back as in a literal seaship. With that arrangement, the issues of "back wall is suddenly the floor" disappear.
> PGP does not achieve timestamped and censorship-resistant record on a distributed network

PGP is timestampted and censorship resistant, and of course it isn't on a distributed network. Yet again I'm asking what is the use case for it being on a distributed network. That's also not what you said in your last comment

> All of your complaints are just that: complaints. X crypto thing works but not well enough for your needs and expectations.

That's not true, my complaints are that if you remove crypto from the X crypto thing, it still solves the problem in the same way, meaning there's no use case for the crypto part of crypto X.
They should be banned from city centres. I'm so glad I at least live somewhere that limits them to fairly low speeds and bans people from dumping them on the public street taking up space.
I was always slightly nervous playing with pizzatool that I would accidentally order a pizza and have it delivered to Scotland and be expected to pay the delivery charges. ;-)
Aren't things like being offered an attorney and being informed of your charges legal requirements for detention in USA. What grounds would the state have to refuse a court case based on such things?

I'm hoping they'll get a massive payout and use some of it to launch a case against the authorities who allow such injustice to go unchecked.
It's expensive in my area as well. The big problem is people dumb these things all over the place - on bicycle lanes etc. I guess these companies also have to spend quite a few dollars on PR and stuff to make people hate them less.
A quick Google search will tell you whether the FDA in the US has similar requirements or instead perhaps medical devices in the US are the unregulated Wild West.
Emotions are guidance, not binding. If you are not able to manage them on your own (an important aspect of adulthood), they will get into your way at some point in life. Yes, they are real, but acting on your emotions unconditionally is dangerous when you are in a position of responsibility or power.
The place I'm in right now is supposedly a modern development but the sidewalks are in such disrepair / built over / covered in debris that everyone just walks in the road with the traffic.
It literally says what materials they've used it with successfully and mentions what materials they're still aiming to be able to use.
And here's Papa John's CEO John Schnatter stepping down because he criticized the NFL for not dealing with the “take a knee” anthem protests against police brutality in a manner timely enough to shore up its shrinking, potentially pizza-ordering viewership:

https://qz.com/work/1164231/papa-john-is-out-as-ceo-because-...

And here's the neo-Nazi media outlet Daily Stormer saying how much they strongly agree with and support John Schnatter's and the Alt-Right's racist views, and proclaiming "Papa John: Official pizza of the alt-right" with a picture of a "SIEG HEIL PIZZA" decorated with a swastika made of pepperoni:

Do you really believe everything that Papa John's Pizza and John Schnatter and the Daily Stormer tweet?
Those are the causes that were picked up on initially, because they're the problems you can detect just by reading a paper without getting into the details. They're not the only causes though, just some of the most visible.

An incomplete list of other causes might contain:

• Wrong data or maths. A remarkably large number of papers (e.g. in psychology) contain statistical aggregates that are mathematically impossible given the study design, like means which can't be calculated from any allowable combination of inputs. Some contain figures that are mathematically possible but in reality totally implausible [1]

• Fraud. I've seen estimates that maybe 20% of all published clinical trials haven't actually been done at all. Anyone who tried to figure out the truth about COVID+ivermectin got a taste of this because a staggering quantity of studies turned out to exhibit disturbing signs of trial fraud. Researchers will happily include obvious Photoshops in their papers and journals will do their best to ignore reports about it [2]

• Bugs. Code doesn't get peer reviewed, sometimes not released either. The famous Report 9 Imperial College London COVID model was in development since 2004 but was riddled with severe bugs like buffer overflows, race conditions, and even a typo in the constants for their hand-rolled PRNG [3]. As a consequence their model produced very different numbers every time you ran it, despite passing fixed PRNG seeds in on the command line. The authors didn't care about this because they'd convinced themselves it wasn't actually a problem (and if you're about to argue with me on this, please don't, if I have to listen to one more academic explaining that scientists don't have to write deterministic "codes" I'll probably puke).

• Pretend data sharing. Twitter bot papers have perfected the art of releasing non-replicable data analysis, because they select a bunch of tweets on topics Twitter is likely to ban, label them "misinformation" and then in their publicly shared data include only the tweet ID, not the content. Anyone attempting to double check their data will discover that almost all the tweets are no longer available, so their classifications can't be disputed. They get to claim their analysis is replicable because they shared their data even though it's not.

• Methods that are described too vaguely to ever replicate.

And so on and so forth. There are an unlimited number of ways to make a paper that looks superficially scientific, but doesn't actually tell us something concrete that can survive being double checked.

Yeah, when I find a car parked wrong (almost all) I key the paint. I have no incentive not to screw with them.
"Many" is fine. The earlier comment implied every single one believed every single job would be more more productive at 32 hours than 40, which seems like a misrepresentation.
Are we replacing drivers though, or just adding a new threat to our streets on top of existing ones.

Here in London at least, scooter journeys are mostly impractical by private car due to lack of parking. Logically they are replacing bus journeys, walking, taxis and cycling.
Yes you are forcing things on people, without noticing it.

You are forcing vulnerable people to stay at home.
I strongly second this. It took me some time to learn the first time set up. But it's been well worth it. Now all it takes to post something is write on a plain text file -> git commit the updated folder.

Thanks! Perfect security does not exist. It's the same as if the master password to a password manager app would be leaked, what then? You start from scratch and change the system.

If a plain-text version would be leaked, that's the worst scenario. But in in most cases what could be leaked these days, is the hash. So you can change the password by modifying the context. For example, if you log in to "microsoft.com", you first used `ms` as the context string, so change it to `microsoft` or `m$`, or something else. You would still likely remember that quite easily.

What this tries to solve is to be secure, unique for each account and not rely on any other third party.

I use it on many devices (rp2040, nRF52, ESP32 and, professionally, on STM32). It's an effective platform on all of them.
Programmatic land grabs like this is why people today must suffer from lack of remaining .com domain names.

Nothing wrong with the writer of this post. I think this is a rational behavior that should be considered "expected". Whoever designed domain name registration/ownership model is to blame for failing to create a system which can efficiently give right domain names to people who actually need them and can use them for good (aka actually hosting businesses or contents instead of scalping).
True, but we live in an age where we we trust our lives with computers so that we can do things we couldn't do otherwise. Flight control computers are necessary for most new commercial and military aircraft because they're fly by wire or can be uncontrollable by nature (Max, V22, etc). We're at the point that the FAA and people in general don't care about an inherent instability if the computer can fly it.
Except when there's additional money to be made. Apple Music is available on Android because that makes Apple money. But iMessage isn't because that would prevent some tiny bit of iPhone sales.

I agree. We will do that once we shift focus on marketing/website, which is when we are out of alpha. Currently its a pragmatic low time-budget site that has only as purpose to tell that this exist, not to sell it like the companies you linked.
It seems it's not how the site got the name:

I agree and I might add that we probably don't want to normalise the idea that the elderly just randomly die of "old age". That could easily result in a decline of standards in hospitals and elderly residential homes, or it could even give the Harold Shipmans of the world free reign to do as they please: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Shipman

Everybody dies and we can't deny that, there likely won't be some breakthrough within my lifetime where we conquer death. But we should still be striving to understand the causes, to know whether someone died because of heart failing due to being really old[0], or whether it was down to something preventable or that otherwise indicates a failure in our system

[0] - not a doctor, I don't know what sort of things they normally use for this. Substitute an actual cause of death if this doesn't sound right :)
Funny you should mention Zoom, which just like Whatsapp is pretty much a half-baked proprietary XMPP implementation. Now if we had proper interop regulations mandating interoperability between commercial entities (no need to apply that to hobby/research projects), we could talk between all these networks.

Sure it would take a few months of serious dedication for these chat vendors to write specifications for the protocol spaghetti they came up with, but the benefits would be tremendous.

So why is "nobody" using XMPP protocol? The problem is not exactly with the specifications (although there's still a little margin for interpretation here and there, they keep evolving for the better) but rather with the implementations. Since a protocol is not tied to a single implementation, it requires additional resources to develop user-friendly clients. This fact is used by an argument by some people (see also: m0xie's The Ecosystem is moving) to justify centralizing all communications and protocol development. This argument was amply debunked by Daniel Gultsche (who maintains an Android XMPP client) and Drew Devault (who maintains an (unfederated-so-far) forge):

There's also a lot to say about the Matrix/Element approach, which has some good and bad sides. I'm happy to elaborate if that's of interest to someone.
Hey folks, we just launched the Zilla Project and would love to answer any questions or hear feedback. Will reply in the comments below.
Two years deep in the web3 hole and after using practically every single protocol, I can't think of any "need to have" use cases either.

Everything is either completely unnecessary or a "nice to have". Like, say, trading video game assets. Or digital art. All nice to haves, but nothing that would even remotely warrant the kind of valuations the segment commands.
I’m sure this is correct. I’ve seen comments on HN multiple times about what they use Linux for in house. You can tell to some extent just from job postings too.
People like to overestimate their abilities and usually are out of touch with reality.
Having a bitmap in normal system memory that we can write to the window or screen is easy though and should be more widely supported. Once you've got that you can write pixels, lines, rectangles, mandlebrots etc very easily and building up to a GUI toolkit is also quite easy and fun. This mechanism is fast enough for pretty much everything other than games on modern hardware.

I consider GPU acceleration a form of premature optimization - it adds complexity unnecessarily in many cases.

Here's my library for doing that on Windows and X11. https://github.com/abainbridge/deadfrog-lib
To be honest, I'm baffled by the utter excellence of this.
I'd say if you want to go on with your day painlessly, they are solid choices. If the website has large traffic for static assets, webp could make sense - the files that would be otherwise jpegs could be half the size, so half bandwidth. I imagine that CDNs would do this for you though.
vagrant ?
Well well, I did not know that.. Thanks for expanding my vocab! Maybe a better example would have been the similar Zuora!
I get that you don't want to share the data. Collection data is most of the work, people can steal it. God forbid people might find your wrong etc. etc.

But maybe just maybe you shouldn't say that are going to share the data if you are not. How trustworthy is the rest in the article if your Data Availability Statement (DAS) is a lie?
I had to go to the dentist’s yesterday and while looking at some pics I thought the idea of literally screwing in an implant tooth in your gum to be pretty damn crude, primitive even. It would be cool if we could inject some artificial 3D printing thingies in the gum that feed on nutrients from your body and slowly create a new tooth as programmed beforehand.

Such robotic thingies could also be used to build new bones or slowly change the structure of existing bones. That would be pretty damn amazing.
Negative interest rates = you get paid to borrow and spend money.

This means that these companies expected they would get a constant inflow of fresh cash.

You have 1000. You borrow 1000, you pay back 990, now you have 1010 and your capacity to borrow has increased.

You borrow again.

I am thinking to build one the UI will be a clone of superhuman and will use gmail api. what do you think ?
> A language with meaningful whitespace and indentation does not make a good language for UART or other serial interaction

I mean its almost irrelevant to the ability to handle serial, unless you are exec'ing raw serial, which is going to make everyone sad.

I have found that bitbanging in python a bit of an arse. Using the struct library isn't as forgiving (or dangerous) as it is in C. But on the flip side it does force you to properly define your binary serial protocol, unless you want loads of exceptions.

Arduino is grand, and fun. But where the python like languages shine is higher level stuff, like networking.
COBOL and Fortran as well, so what.

This is like telling people they can use a balloon if they don't like the changes to the jetliner and that they only fly to Vegas now. I like the jetliner, I like HTML5, the idea of social networks, video, online shopping, source code sharing etc etc. Pointing to some 90s looking personal websites as a proof that the internet is alive and healthy is misleading.
v0.0.4 version brings two major enhancements:

* First Support of Docker Desktop extensions. Leveraging the current plug-in system of Podman Desktop, an adapter is added around the Docker Desktop UI extensions to intercept the calls and manage the extensions. Adding a feature can also be done using that way. (For example the Trivy security scanner, Deploy to OpenShift, etc.) note: it does not handle yet the VM components. Support will be added depending on the users feedback.

* Install Podman on Windows if not yet installed: At startup it detects if Podman is installed or not and if not, after answering to a prompt, Podman is installed. It still requires WSL/Hyper-v to be enabled.
