That heavily depends. e.g., ever since the IC208/209 has been replaced with a Br 412, it’s been far more reliable. Which is why e.g., in Düsseldorf 1038 and 208 can now be scheduled on the same platform, so in the morning you’ll have the 208 at 6:32 and the 1038 at 6:38.

If your screenshots are intended for documents, don't change the format to JPEG. Depending on the document (e.g. a PDF file) that compression can happen at a later stage. You can always compress a PNG into a JPEG (it's a lossy operation), but once it's done, you can't come back.

I often see JPEG screenshots in student reports (but not only), and they look really bad, as most of the time those are plots, drawings, and present very visible JPEG artefacts (e.g. colored noise around lines and text).
Really wish this was the default, with an option to turn on "paste with formatting". It'd be interesting to see with telemetry how many users choose that.

FWIW, in my many decades of using computers, I've never once wanted to paste with styles as whatever app is getting pasted into inevitably (without exception, like 100% of the time) "guesses" the formatting incorrectly.

At the end of the day what prevents functional languages from being a good fit for low-level programming is that effective low-level programming cannot be referentially transparent.

Might be my 2 cents, but i think Rust can hit a very sweet spot for functionally-leaning low-level effective programming.
You can argue active shooter drills are not being performed in an appropriate manner, but arguing you don't need them is quite debatable.

2 years hiatus of public performance would have been a non-event in the 20th century. You could just have used the time to release some new records.

Yes, COVID has nothing to do with the classical music industry woes. Spotify and its terrible redistribution model is the main culprit.

Of course, COVID might have been what pushed this particular formation over the edge but it is just the extra drop spilling over. Fees from public performance has never been enough to fund a full symphonic orchestra.
There's two prime examples of a publicly owned internet in the world today. One is run by the CCP and is sardonically known as the Great Firewall of China. The other is the state-run intranet of North Korea.

Nothing about the Chinese government is "publicly owned". China is state capitalism at its finest--or worst, depending on whom you ask. North Korea is also not meaningfully communist and has since changed its ideology to juche, a strange mishmash of old-style imperialism, personality cult, and frank absurdity.

Sleeping 6 hours will cost you a lot more, but you're fine with that, right?

If everything comes crashing down, your money will be useless. It will be inflated away. You dont really need the money though, you earn 10x what your neighbour earns and they are 10x less worried... maybe you should re-evaluate the value of money in life, you give it too much importance.

> spent a century producing literal mountains of plastic

Plastic production is growing at 3.5% annually. This implies a doubling of annual plastic production about every 20 years (because 1.035^20 ≈ 2).

And because of how exponential functions work, this also means there has been about a doubling of the total amount of plastic in the world over the last 20 years.

So most of the problem has been created in the recent past. And it will get twice as bad in the next 20 years.
Stop reading the news. The incentives lead to amplification of negative narratives and the unhealthy feeling that you are responsible for or able to respond to every bad thing in the world. It is a mental health crisis.

If you stop reading the news and discover that you and the people around you are mostly happy and you are able to ease their suffering and help them find joy, them you've found the way to live. The nagging feeling that we must each, individually, fix the world is masochistic arrogance. It's a shame that there's so much money to be made promoting it.
I also almost have 20k Evernote notes.

I was considering obsidian, but the devs say that obsidian is designed for a maximum of 20k notes.

So, I'm already on the upper bound, as you are. Probably, obsidian would be slow if I import all my notes.

Evernote, on a Windows 10 Desktop, now works fast, at least for me. I think we undervalue this fact, we undervalue the fact that it is hard to make good note taking apps that can sync and search fast with more than 20k notes. I guess there are users with 60k notes!

>who’s been mining for a year, has earned only about $5,000 worth of crypto on his initial $30,000 hardware investment; he also pays about $650 in monthly electricity costs.

In a more detailed design, you would have every train publish a "movement plan" every few milliseconds. The plan contains the current location (with uncertainty bounds), and future locations. The plan also contains alternate future locations that could happen in various emergency or failure situations - and one of those is to apply the emergency brakes.

A system checks each plan against the plans of all other trains, and approves them if they are non-colliding. The 'alternate' plans can overlap only if to do so indicates independant failures must have occurred - for example the brakes of train 1 fail at the same time as the traction motor of train 2 gets stuck on max, and comms fail.

Track infrastructure such as signals and points would also submit plans - so that for example a set of points can prevent any trains passing over while it isn't in a safe locked state.

All trains must then follow one of the plans they have approved. If comms fail and they can't get a new plan approved, they must still follow an approved plan - which means they are guaranteed not to collide with any other train.

All plans would be signed with timestamps (to prevent someone maliciously changing them to cause an accident), and would normally be delivered by dedicated rail infrastructure, but could be delivered by 3g/4g/wifi in an emergency. Manual plans could also be entered and distributed, for example via USB stick, for maintenance - such plans would say "I have access to this huge segment of track, and nobody else may enter".
Android Booting Shenanigans
When I boot into Windows and want to snip a portion of the screen I am going into a menu and opening a dedicated UI program (snipping tool). Then I manually save it to the desktop again through menus. Then I can access the snip. It's insanity compared to what I do on macOS.

CMD+SHIFT+5 also gives you clear options to "tap to do X" like you say.

Annotation directly yes, that is nice. And I know some people dislike the "floating screenshot in corner" feature of macOS, but if you allow it to start you get instant annotation right after taking a screenshot without having to open the IMO clunky preview app.

There are also other 3rd party tools for annotation for macOS that can pipe together flows, probably as advanced to what you mention.

> Using ShareX on Windows is like night and day.

Because you are literally comparing a dedicated tool to a built in implementation (which I kind of feel you have not explored all that well lately).

There's a lot more evidence that fire drills improve response in ways that make a positive difference in practice than there is for active shooter drills (and not just for fires, since fire drills are mainly generic efficient evacuation drills); conversely, there's more evidence of adverse mental health impacts from active shooter drills than fire drills.
Canada is an interesting choice as a backup location for when the USA becomes unsuitable. Most people will use USA infra to access it, and any sort of war scenario that threatens mainland USA... I don't see Canada being not at risk. Heck, South America would have been a better choice for spreading out this huge and imo important archive (it's only a disaster copy after all, I'm assuming there are the normal backups/redundancies against disk failure and fire).

This sort of thing, "hey we're opening a tech hub" and "hey we're storing our disaster copy in a very closely related economy a few km away from the current country", make me wonder if I should instead start my own copy and try to get funding to secure e.g. one recent snapshot of every website as a first goal, rather than donate money to the IA directly (as I have multiple times in the past).

>The Linux kernel was the most important open-source project in history

That i think is unfair, it's the most prominent, but i would argue that GNU especially GCC was more important. However the way Linus split the work and with that idea used Bitkeeper and then later created Git was revolutionary.

Some opensource kernel's already existed at that time, for example Mach and BSD (to name a micro and monolith).

EDIT: But yeah we all know why BSD was legally problematic around the 90's.
There's a strong counter-argument that batteries large enough to power entire trains are also expensive to produce and maintain, especially when battery prices shoot up due to lithium scarcity, and that's not even mentioning the massive carbon footprint of producing those batteries. Diesel-electric trains are probably better emissions-wise.

Cumbria, which contains the western end of the wall, was part of Scotland at the time of the Domesday Book (1086), and wasn't incorporated into England until some years later.

So there was a period of time when part of Hadrian's Wall was, in fact, in Scotland.

There is no reason to assume content speed. Initial statement does not assume constant speed.
I think the point the article is making is that you shouldn't be looking at the cost of electrifying based on how busy the lines are, because the introduction of delays in those sections then propagate into the busier sections causing a ripple effect. Quiet sections with low reliability cause delays in the busy sections. So it's not about how busy that line itself is, it's about the downstream impact.
I’d expect 1% (120) of virtually any group that size to assent to almost any proposition no matter how ridiculous, some genuinely and others only though misunderstanding it (and yes, misunderstanding is still possible with smart people, been there done that both ways around). 12 people would mean it wasn’t popular enough to share with everyone.

You say it yourself - you should not feel anxious given your situation, but you do. You need to address your baseline anxiety. Anxiety always finds some reason "why" (i.e. current instability, war...) but often the root cause is deeper and personal - I am speaking from a personal experience.

Consider therapy. Other things might help as well. Sleep more. Rest more. Work less. Find time for some physical activity. But at least in my case, finding and addressing the root cause(s) was the key (followed by years of un-learning of some unhealthy mental patterns).

Until I talked to a therapist. Initially we spoke every week, now I talk to her about once a month. We talk about everything. What bothers me at work. What bothers me in the world. Things that are going well. Things that are unfair. And she's an impartial advisor on how I can handle and deal with my feelings.

Going to a therapist has turned my life around for the better, and I feel dumb for not going earlier.

If we break our bones we visit a doctor. If our teeth hurt we visit a dentist. And similarly when we feel depressed we should talk to a therapist.

Looks very cool! Can somebody enlighten me what's happening in the Algebraic Effects example?
Specifically this part:

handle f ()
| flip () -> (resume true + resume false) / 2.0

Does `handle f ()` call `calculation` and the `| ...` part "injects" the `flip` effect?
I am also quite confused by the part following `| flip ()`. It somehow returns true or false with a probability of 50%? And why does this give you the expected value of the whole calculation function in the end?
As an old lisp fan, I never got this. (f x) and f(x) have the same number of parenthesis.

and the nice thing about (f x) is that the parenthesis group f with x; so you have the whole call inside the (). Consistent and simple to understand.

vs i.e. print(f"a string"), where it isn't even clear that the "f" is a function call.

How does string interpolation work? In what context, exactly, are the placeholders checked and/or evaluated? How are missing or incompatible placeholder values handled? The semantics aren't obvious (for instance, how do you deal with string inputs, which would contain placeholders that cannot be checked in advance?).
I don't see how my comment was proposing an argument to the content within the article. It was merely a criticism and would hope to it interpreted as such. Wouldn't be nice to see a higher level of quality and consistency in commentaries like this, especially when the title is as ambitious as something as 'fighting for the digital future'?

I don't mean to sound rude, but your response sounds a bit presumptuous and complacent with hypocrisy.
