Still, just because there's an easy workaround doesn't cancel the fact the observed behavior is a weird UI bug.

It wouldn't help for rail already installed, but I wonder if you could insert two corrosion-resistant pins in the rail at some standard distance apart. The pins would be installed when the rail is at its "neutral stress temperature". Then you could use some Go/No Go gauges to quickly check if the rail has expanded or contracted. By measuring the distance you could get a more accurate assessment of the stress state. The accuracy required might be too much, though.

It's an interesting problem. It's simple in theory, but may not have a perfect solution.
I'd start by looking at places that had huge real estate bubbles like Las Vegas or are far enough away from anything interesting (like all the shitty Bay Area suburbs).

For a lot of not great reasons I've a condo in one of those shitty Bay Area suburbs. Four units in this complex were listed for sale this year. Two sold for a bit under 500k, and two are still asking well over 500. So yeah I'd say the upper bound currently is $500k. Pre-COVID prices were in the low 400s.

I've checked out the property tax bills for my neighbors, and, yes, some have an assessed value of well over $500k. They've been underwater for about a decade.
Oh wow, thanks for the tip! Had no idea this existed.

It is because the people who do the regulations are the people who are regulated. It's like having a root user set up a SELinux policy for himself.
China developed attack drones, but has not used them in any attacks yet themselves. They have sold drones to middle eastern states, where they were purportedly used against "terrorists" (i.e. the same people the US commonly drone strikes).

Given the US has made numerous drone-strikes that have been confirmed to kill quite a few civilians, and china has 0... yeah, China's track record is wildly better.

There's literally a full wikipedia page estimating civilian causalities from US drone strikes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_U.S._...

There's a reason that no such page exists for any other country with drones.

> isn't that offset by China targets being way more likely to be good guys?

That seems naive to me. Both the US and China are in the UN, are part of the "UN Security Council", and thus generally try to follow the military norms set out there.

In practice, the US and China can both flaunt the rule of international law some due to their size, though in practice I don't know of china violating it significantly in relation to war, while the invasion of iraq by the US was done in violation of UN policy/international law. I'll again reference a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_the_Iraq_War

To be clear on all this, I am not sympathetic to China. They've committed atrocities domestically and I'm not claiming they're a good country.

I do think the evidence isn't so black and white as to say that China is likely to "target good guys" or any such thing.

If submarines became non stealth we would likely see carrier groups and other missile ships providing high speed resilient second strike capability. A potentially destabilizing effect might be to motivate the creation of second/first strike satellite hosted weapons.
I support the Catalan movement as I believe in all people’s right to self determination but that is fundamentally different.

Catalonia does not have a legal right to just break free from Spain. It would also be difficult for any country if the richest region could break free at will.

On the other hand Hong Kong has a legal right for local rules for at least 50 years after the handover in 1997. That treaty was broken last year.

So legally Spain is in the right and China is wrong.

I've always thought that number-guessing games were a first choice for introductory coding primarily because they're well suited to the standard library of most programming languages. Once you have standard I/O, you can write a number-guessing game.

Scratch has different constraints than most languages, but I don't view that as a bad thing. Scratch takes what is normally a huge undertaking--sprites--and makes them as much a first-class primitive as stdin/stdout are in most languages. Yeah, this makes the number-guessing and text-adventure games we usually use as teaching projects harder, but it makes it a lot quicker to build visual games. I don't think Scratch needs to change, I think we need to recognize that kids in this generation won't be building the same starter projects that we did growing up.

His comment may have pointed out electrical outlets - which yes is negligible. But it's not the only thing totally out of control. I'm in CA so my requirements are nuts. My wife and I are building a home ourselves. Ever look into category D (earthquake zone) requirements for footer sizes? Look at the indoor sprinkler requirements? What about when you are on a well? Look at water heater requirements - solar requirements (which are fine for me since not connecting to PG&E anyway) If you ever write your own plans for a house, trust me, there are far more insane things you don't know about that exist that definitely raise the price of the house and certainly the complexity of building one.

I am probably looking at $2000 at least just for Simpson strong tie products.

Consider a new driver who just got his license, versus someone who's been driving for 20 years and has been at fault in one fender bender. Would you consider the former to be the safer driver of the two?

Ah, even better haha.

Agreed that the FCC should've continued requiring open access. However I'd go further and say that much of the infrastructure should be state owned and leased to private companies.

Or outlaw exclusive franchise agreements, require timely access to utility poles, etc. Regulate like an electric company? Well I'm from California and given how bad our electric companies are and how toothless the state regulator is I'm not sure how much of an improvement that would be.
>However I know that graphene are (were?) Working on a store of their own at some point, so when that is released my opinion may change.

Currently, it lists only graphene apps like Secure Camera, graphene PDF vewier, Auditor, Sandboxed Play services. Also, it only works for Android 12 and above, not only on GrapahenOS but other OS like Calyx, Lineage and it forks etc.

They are planning to add other graphene apps too, like Vandaium* etc. Non-graphene apps (like apps available on f-droid), I don't think they will be added. This store seems to be only for Graphene Apps.

I know we can't (and shouldn't) mourn heads of state in perpetuity, but there's a stunning ephemerality to the newsworthiness of Abe's assassination.

Is it because Abe's murderer is turning out to be a disgruntled nobody? Was Abe himself, as a politician and person, uninteresting to the world outside Japan? Is gun violence, regardless of perpetrator and victim, old hat at this point? Is there a collective calamity fatigue?

Admittedly my scope is limited to Western news sites, but I can't help to feel the world has more or less shrugged this off already. Strange days.

I struggle to find the correct descriptor for a counter-example, wherein You Really Want Success for the process as a whole, but it is acceptable for a sliver of it to fail, in the the context of ETL.

I have an ETL I am told (I switched jobs) that is still working, from 2008. It was built to be a tank, and I also did another forbidden thing: Pokemon Exception Handling. It's a guideline, not a law of physics, and it is fine to resort to a general error catch when you really don't know every possible error (and let's be honest, if you have enough libraries in the mix, some surprises will happen) and you want the other 99.999% of the data to go through. Yes, this one little thing didn't load, and let's log that, let's examine that and figure out how to prevent that going forward, but overall, the rest of the program must continue.

How did it get so tanklike? Every time a little bit failed and it got logged, I figured out what went wrong, fixed it, and then tried to generalize a class of similar errors. After a while, I got into Things I Was Told Would Never Happen in the data we ingested and programmed for when never happened. Reader, never came a little sooner than expected.

Anyway, I largely agree with the idea but there are places where you want the exact opposite, and I think it is important to look for those places lest this heuristic become so stiff it can lose utility.
Correct. It's a straw man.

> Benjamin Franklin was bemoaning the plight of his fellow Philadelphians: “Wood, our common Fewel, which within these 100 Years might be had at every Man’s Door, must now be fetch’d near 100 Miles to some towns, and makes a very considerable Article in the Expence of Families,” he wrote.

Unrelated to the main topic, but why does old English writing often have seemingly arbitrary capitalization of words -- like Years, Miles, Fewel (Fuel), Article, Expence, and Families? Ben Franklin was a newspaper editor and printer so I assume he knows what he's doing, but what's the rhyme or reason for it?
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Agree with the premise of the article: changelogs—or rather, news files—are not the commit history. Describing the changes between releases at a high level is super important but also a skill that’s hard to acquire.

I thought I had written about this way back as well, but what I found instead is a post from 2005 that’s tangentially related. I remember that some projects back in the day tried to replicate the equivalent of git log in their ChangeLog file… by hand!

Here is the post: https://jmmv.dev/2005/08/manual-changelogs-thing-of-past.htm... — and pardon the English and its structure. Not as nice as I’d like it to be, but that was written 17 years ago!
I understand the sentiment, mind you.....but the last thing we'd want is for say 10 million Americans get motivated and all put EVs on the road tomorrow. We don't have anywhere near enough infrastructure to support a large EV market yet. If you want to hear something sad....the most conservative estimates say that if we started today we're still looking at around 40 years to have a full supportive infrastructure for EVs.

Like you, I got every appendage crossed for some type of soft'ish landing, but with everything going globally pitching a little gas here and there on our inflation fire I am almost 100% positive the Fed will have to keep throwing husky rate hikes and just man up and punch inflation in the nose. And I hate it, but there are going to be a lot of people lose their jobs or get hurt somehow else at that expense.

This Scratch thing reminds me of Authorware. Fun and powerful if you are still at a point in life where you are terrified of coding with text. But after you outgrow it you regret not using those brain cells to learn conventional programming. (At least, I did.) I'm not saying it's without value, but I am saying it can lead to disappointment.
This reminds me of how Marvel super-characters are usually immune to their own powers, or relatives' powers. Cyclops, for example, can't accidentally blast his arm off by looking down while eye-blasting a Sentinel. He is also immune to his brothers' powers (even though quite different), and vice versa.

(Now that I think about it, I don't think this is the norm with DC. Superman can use his heat vision on Supergirl, and vice versa; each is largely resistant to it, but because Kryptonians are more or less invulnerable to anything non-magic, as opposed to some special immunity against Kryptonian powers.)

From an accident report:

> The area surrounding the 67 km point had been subjected to several maintenance activities, including a few days before the derailment.
The records showed that a length of rail was installed at about the 67.150 km mark when the rail temperature was about 65°C

This specification was based on midpoint average minimum and maximum temperatures expected for that time of year (summer).

Possibly. Although the pains the government takes to separate its people from the West, hard to predict how exactly it’ll effect elsewhere, if there’s a Chinese crash.

I think that kind of thinking is what has allowed > 7 billion people to run rampant over the earth, screwing up everything they see and just generally turning it into the sinking cesspool that makes so many people want to kill themselves to begin with.

What could a dozen 1MT warheads, sunk to a depth of 100ft, do to submarines anywhere in the Great Lakes? Shockwaves travel through water much better than through air. Water explodes into steam in a way that air doesn't.

My intuition is that you actually could pretty reliably paste a sub inside the Great Lakes using some nukes launches from Russia. The lakes may just not be deep or big enough to hide in.

This is leaving aside the treaty, the lack of freshwater sub technology, the long time to retaliation due to long range, the lack of a sub facility on the lakes, and the unnecessary nature of the whole enterprise (if the US lost 1 boomer sub to an enemy they could bring the others into a defensive posture making them practically impossible to hunt down, to preserve 2nd strike capability).
Immunity to infection ≠ immunity to serious disease. The epitopes that drive long-lived memory are fairly well conserved.

Let’s assume we are using Linux.

Firstly, an Erlang VM process is not a Linux child process: “Erlang processes are lightweight, operate in (memory) isolation from other processes, and are scheduled by Erlang's Virtual Machine (VM). The creation time of process is very low, the memory footprint of a just spawned process is very small, and a single Erlang VM can have millions of processes running.”.

An Erlang program can use kernel resources. Objects related to file descriptors, filesystem data, the process namespace, and signal handlers. Kernel timers, semaphores, memory allocations (e.g. for FFI), sockets, DMA, etcetera.

I presume the Erlang library code tracks resources (such as file access function tracking file descriptors per Erlang process), so they can be cleaned up if we “let-it-fail”. I also presume there is a canonical way to register to clean up resources - the equivalent to atexit()[1].

If you have an actual foundation. Most MF homes in CA require the XI2 tie down system. Some of the manufactured home installers don't even pour a drop of concrete when they place your home.

It turned out that the hardware wallet does not sign the whole transaction data but only a hash of it. So it cannot change the nonce.

PC Magazine was definitely trying to be a little bit of everything. They went in hard on hardware/software reviews clearly aimed at home office users, but then you'd have columns on nifty utilities in raw assembly, and then game reviews shoved in the back. Eventually they seemed to just junk everything except hardware/software reviews and basically became a glossier, smaller version of Computer Shopper, at which point I just tuned out.

How are over-leveraged developers that different from what caused the 2008 global financial crisis? The cause of the GFC was that assets were labeled as safe but were in fact unsafe. So one day everyone woke up and had less money than they thought they had. The same thing can happen from over-leveraged developers. Banks lend money to people to buy real-estate. Everyone expects those units to exist, and if they suddenly don't exist en-masse, then that's going to be a major shock.
