I sympathize with this sentiment, but it's not tenable without major investments in public transit. I live in Chicago, the third largest US city, and getting around by car is about twice as fast as taking public transit even when "public transit" means taking the L with no connections during rush hour (worst case scenario for car commuting). Mind you, (contrary to recent remarks by our mayor) Chicago isn't even a "car city"--we have only ~3ish arteries through the city and everything else is slow-moving side streets.

Meanwhile, most trains are pretty unpleasant--many cars wreak of piss, smoke, etc, people free-style rapping, trying to start fights (especially people of questionable sanity), etc. Buses can be better, but they're also a lot slower. If you have a family, own a dog, or have a disability, then it quickly becomes more practical to own a car, and even if we clean up public transit, police it properly, and expand it I'm not sure it would change the calculus--you would still likely be better off owning a car than relying solely on public transit and rideshare and so on.

Of course, I want Chicago to make those improvements to its public transit system if only to pull more people off the road more often, but I think there will always be a core group of people who need to own cars. I think if this is true for Chicago it will also be true for smaller US cities.
Doesn't the pipelining mean that it's not declarative? At least not in that part.
Ask HN: How does T-Mobile gather app usage data it then sells to third parties?
There's been some talk about T-Mobile selling app usage data to third parties:

https://www.adexchanger.com/mobile/t-mobile-rebrands-its-ad-biz-and-navigates-the-perilous-line-between-programmatic-and-privacy/

https://www.phonearena.com/news/t-mobile-app-insights-selling-user-data_id140978

The question is: how is this data gathered? Is it via a hidden service in the OS? Or by monitoring network traffic? The privacy policy osn't if much help in this regard:

https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/our-practices/advertising-solutions-privacy-notice

Even though it claims to describe "how we collect, use, and share personal data", it does not at all answer the question of "how do they collect the data".

So... how do they collect the data?
My main issue with the CF dashboard is that it's spinner-hell. It's fast, but there are spinners and layout shifts everywhere.

Regarding the GC console, it has many UX issues, but regarding the SPA architecture my main complaint is that it's extremely slow and bloated. Every interaction takes seconds. Opening something on a new tab takes seconds. And there are spinners everywhere. I have to admit they recently pushed a new version that downloads less JS, but it's still pretty tedious to use.
'Chinese' here isn't referring to the race, but to the country. So you shouldn't read it as implying racism in any way. In American terminology "American" is not a race nor is "Chinese". If they said "Asian Junk" that'd be racism.
These are obviously just blurry pictures of vegetables.
This is not a US specific thing... people here in slovenia build a house at the end of the by-the-street village, and then complain when someone else does the same, claming the the village is getting too large.
OpenTTD simulates some of this. If you piss of localities they stop letting you do certain things (including bulldozing, building new infrastructure etc.)
Public pensions are pretty much gone these days, for better or worse.

I don't think an inverted pyramid is as bad as it sounds. It's a check against ageism and falling wages (there's no longer a horde of hungry young people who want the jobs) and, given how little of the work people do is actually necessary--white-collar jobs are 85% sending passive-aggressive emails--I think society can afford it. It might be the only thing that provides enough value of labor to keep conditions relatively humane.

Opus is kind of supported, but only in an Apple proprietary container format (specific to CoreAudio) that actively defeats the point. I don't even know if they did that intentionally or if it was just an incidental side-effect of adding Opus support to something else.

(Notably, Opus can not be used in HLS streams, or in video files. No other browsers support CAF, so you either need to re-mux on the fly or store two copies. It defeats a significant benefit of having a single codec, because Apple won’t support Opus in MKV or OGG. Remuxing is also not all that simple, since this is a proprietary format. Even if your ffmpeg command appears to have worked, that does not mean it will play on an Apple device.)

Power efficiency is possibly an explanation, but it's difficult to really treat that as a charitable argument anymore. As far as I know, they don't have arbitrary limitations that require audio decoding to be hardware accelerated, and both iOS and macOS devices will happily fallback to software decoding whenever it's needed. That's actually fine, since even Opus decoding with an optimized decoder is not really computationally expensive at all. It could run at a very low frequency using only one processor core and still decode realtime. Given that streaming audio over HTTP probably isn't fully accelerated off the application processor anyways, this doesn't seem like a huge ask.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert in audio at all. However, I have been bickering about this for years and I haven't seen any coherent argument why Apple shouldn't support Opus. Every other browser engine, desktop and mobile, has long figured it out, and it certainly doesn't seem to be a huge issue.
Trolley.co.uk is shutting down – pricing data is apparently owned by a company
Usually what i do in cases like these, is to to take a trace of the CAN bus on a working vehicle and then replay this data to the DUT selecting and deselecting different IDs, then i apply random values to different bytes of the responding IDs and observe the reaction. It can be time consuming but more productive that trying to contact OEMs. Also DBC files can be of some help.
It's a wonderful thing when a physical device captures the Unix philosophy of doing one thing very well.

I would hope, for the author's sake, that there are similar devices that can be purchased new for professional use. Because for all the features, abilities, and advancements available on things like a smart phone, they unavoidably create a single point of failure. And then there's the refrain often heard from the Commodore 64 and 8 bit computing ilk: Newer isn't always better.
By public pension, I mean what we in the US call Social Security. Most developed economies have an equivalent.
Lenses in Haskell are truly easy. The hardest part around them is the tooling. They'd be much better if GHC could generate them for you. When I go back to imperative languages, like Rust, C++, or Javascript, I find myself missing the easy traversals and folds one can do with lenses. It's like being able to have a Graph QL database for all your data structures instantaneously. When it works, it is truly glorious.

The intuition is easy. The fundamental thing is a getter and a setter. Getters can get multiple things, but always produce one answer. So, in order to take multiple things and combine them, you have to fold them. Thus, a getter of multiple things is a fold. A setter can also set / modify multiple things. To take multiple things and produce multiple things is a traversal. Due to the way Haskell works, all traversals are also folds (the math checks out).

Everything else is just a specialization of folds and traversals. And honestly, you can view folds as a particular type of traversal (the identity traversal with an effect). Thus, really traversals are fundamental.

For example, prisms are just traversals that can target zero or one (but not >1 element). A 'getter' (lens's terminology) is a fold with only one element. A lens is a getter and a traversal. Thus it can only set one element.
You seem to be trying to make my argument into a strawman, and throwing around words like "principle" and "politics" as though they are magic incantations that shut down debate.

My argument is a) textualism and originalism are distinct (you don't refute that) and b) judicial reasoning based on precedent and text is more reliable and workable than attempting purely historical analysis (again, you don't refute that either.) I'm happy to defend that. Instead of asking me to debate myself, it would be interesting to hear an actual effort to defend originalism.

How do you prove or disprove original intent? How do you sufficiently vet historical research to ensure that it's accurate? If a central finding in a judicial case is based on historical analogy that subsequent research shows to be false, what is the proper correction -- does the court on its own make an effort to correct the record, do they throw out the original case, or do you treat every case as one-off attempts to divine the truth based on an imagined historical record?

Originalists aren't bound by past judicial decision making -- every case is a blank slate where the job of the judge is to evaluate the current case against the history of the law, not the history of the court. OP's point was that judges should not be political, and to that extent -- other judicial philosophies are better at constraining politics than originalism.

As to if originalism can produce correct results -- judges can have all of the "principle" in the world, but if they approach law from a broken framework that isn't bound by consistency, the law ends up being a hodge-podge of logically inconsistent decisions with efforts at distinguishing one case from another, and principle ends up being for naught. Ad-hoc historical reasoning should be the realm of politicians and advocates rather than judges.
People often use "shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater" as an example alluding to the Schenck case without realizing it was overturned.

> TLD isn't a good geolocator

Yes. ...In general. Specifically, this one is a title that comes from a news company with TLD consistent to it. Had it been reported by The Guardian or the NYT, they would have titled it differently.
I would go even farther, and say you'd have to be comfortable with someone taking away your property to build something you don't think should be built at all. It's easy to say "they should take somebody else's property and build something I want." Anybody can do that! But if you think of it that way it makes more sense why you get people blocking these projects.
I’ve always found this to be a curious coincidence, that the Sun’s corona remains visible during total solar eclipses because the Moon blocks out the Sun just so.

But the really fun part is described in the link above:

> Tidal interactions cause the Moon to spiral about one inch per year away from Earth. In the distant past, the Moon was close enough to Earth so that it could block the Sun's entire disk and then some. Our prehuman ancestors would not have witnessed the beautiful coronal displays that we now enjoy. And about 50 million years from now, the Moon will be far enough away so that our descendants will only see annular eclipses.
> Correlation is not causation

No, but correlation isn't meaningless either. This study [1] appears to be as robust as one can get without doing a double-blind trial. Given the effect size, I suspect that is in the works.

Lol @ “keeping code quality high”. Have you even looked through his source code? You know, the one with functions spanning dozens of parameters that literally have no actual documentation?

Give me a fucking break. Let’s not even talk about the fact that it has well over a thousand open “questions”.
And to add the other side of things: as an interviewer, I do check.

Inflating your skillset is going to get you into the wrong interviews, and you'll do poorly in them (and consequently will have these kinds of negative experiences). Either accurately represent or slightly undersell yourself; it comes off much better and will save you time and money.
> Public pensions are pretty much gone these days, for better or worse.

Taxpayer funded (which is what “public” generally means) pensions are basically the only defined benefit pensions left in the US. I do not know of a single city, county, state, or federal government that has gotten rid of them, especially not for cops.
False analogy.

Apple's market cap is ~$2,300,000,000,000 and it's not a war.
Is it correct there's no CASE WHEN and instead you have to define a function using a ternary operator? CASE WHENs may be verbose but when you have a dozen of them they're more readable and the waterfall nature is far preferable to a giant block of ternary clauses.
A bit of controversy - it's no surprise how this is viewed by PETA.

On the other hand, it can keep the wild animals, gulls, at a greater distance from areas with lots of people.

And it does this without killing, mostly, so that the gulls can still keep their job of "cleaning up the beach."

Interesting read.

Agreed. I also find it problematic that you have no control over the schedule of when the interviews start, when offers are made, how long companies might wait. E.g. if you have offers and you're still interviewing do you tell those companies to wait? If so - might they consider it a lack of interest? Possibly too much competition to waste further time on you with? Do you risk making them wait too long and rescinding an offer? idk... i wish there was a guide on how to handle this crap based on actual research. I've read from a recruiter not to indicate you have other offers at all because they're likely just to say to take them and not to proceed further. There are so many aspects of hiring that seem unknown.

> I'm a part-time Real Estate investor, and I would never invest in a city that had a rental cap

Good. It is real estate "investors" like you that have contributed to the Bay Area, and California in general, pricing people out and becoming a rent-only housing economy where only the rich of the rich can even dream of buying a fairly modest house. Housing should not make you investment-style returns like the stock market. You're profiting by rent-seeking, arbitrary zoning requirements, and NIMBYism driving up the price of housing constantly just so you can make a nice "investment." Housing and shelter are for people to live, not to extract money for real estate investors.

> You end up putting a bunch of poor people in one building

Have you considered that poor people also need a place to live and maybe that doesn't involve you leaching every percent of profit you can?

> Want to promote more affordable housing? Keep the government far away

Section 8 housing in LA - as house prices have surged to multi-million two-bedroom homes since COVID - can lower prices at least as low as $400/mo after the voucher. You are simply and transparently lying for your own benefit and it is shameful.

Still, you have the choice to uninstall chrome and use Firefox which uses its own engine.
On IOS you can't, its just a reskin.

So chrome market dominance is not comparable to a bad browser existing because its just the only choice, that's more like IE.
See this here with more French when I obviously called you on it is called trolling.

Nobody look up that French or ask about it... it's a trap so he can lord it over you with an authoritative expose and explanation of his expansive knowledge of French wisdom while eating a croissant.

I've tried it. The experience was really poor. It does not perform as well on Mobile Safari as other devices. The Terminal also displayed weird on an iPad for a while. Load Times of Interface also take longer. Perhaps it's improved since I last used it, or works better on M1 iPad, as the blog post you linked seems to indicate.

I've been using Textastic or Code (thebaselab.com/code, which is an app with subset of VSCode Functionality, excluding extensions) + Working Copy, and that's been somewhat better.

Yes there are. For instance Idris (https://www.idris-lang.org/) has a way more powerful typesystem than Typescript.

If you are looking for more practical and less academic languages, then Scala would be one of the languages that technically has a more powerful/generalized typesystem but at the same time is harder to use compared to Typescript's and cannot do some things that Typescript can do.
The also allude to “other vaccines” in this article. Googled it and they mean the pneumococcal vaccines also gave a protective effect. So maybe get those. If you just tell your doctor you’re an alcoholic they’ll give it to you.
It links to the actual paper if you are interested, the paper has a whole table of covariates it took into consideration. https://content.iospress.com/articles/journal-of-alzheimers-...

I don't think the paper or the journal article suggested it was causal either. But such a correlation with such a large population warrants publication and further research into causation.

You unfortunately chose literally the first thing that any epidemiologist would consider, which is considering potential confounders. Maybe read up a bit before commenting.
The context of that quote is mostly about dev complexity.

One reason that there is pushback and needs to be pushback is that there are frequently really dumb vanity proposals because small-time politicians want to do something big.

Locally there are a couple of plans to tear up and reroute highways in a decade long project where the highways literally just finished major tear-up-and-reroute project.

There's another nonsensical proposal to tear up one of the busiest highways around and replace it with a nice boulevard because wouldn't that be lovely, except without any plan for what would happen to the rest of traffic.

There are NIMBYs but there are also people worried about projects which are trying to help won't actually make anything better and often will have real negative consequences.
> Bad actors have free reign to threaten and intimidate fair use development.

IANAL; I want to avoid calling the last example "fair use development", as "fair use" — which is a copyright concept — is not being relied upon here: there was a license (the MIT license) issued with the code, with which the "{Developer}" was, AFAICT from the OP, obeying. I do agree that the development/use by "{Developer}" appears "fair" (in the more colloquial/common sense of the word), given the information presented.

I think you might be misunderstanding what this post is about.

That version of Doom is not running on Electron directly. It is running on v86, which is a x86 WASM emulator, so essentially the entire graphics stack of the game and the entire OS its running in is emulated.

The resulting performance characteristics have absolutely nothing to do with a normal Electron app.

> When we talk about efficiency of (other) electron apps made for productive use

Other electron apps for productive use is what the post is specifically NOT about. I find it higly irritating, when comments like yours are used to inject the never-ending and frankly tiring Electron-performance discussion into anything Electron related, drowning out discussion that would actually relevant and on topic.
Then obviously other religions groups or individuals have to have their "quiet and personal" displays in a similar setting in a similar fashion. And, of course, everybody will be perfectly content seeing these alternatives, right?
I'm seeing the same thing where I live, where a new fiber infrastructure has a choice of a few ISPs, but two of them are actually shells owned by the same outfit (an existing hosting provider). I'm really not sure why. The products aren't substantially different, as I guess they aren't with these two VPN providers.
