> Eventually, in 1997, the space was finally put to use again when the Tehran Municipality inaugurated the Razi park and cultural complex, which includes a variety of public services such as a library, movie theatre, artificial lake and an amusement park. It’s a far cry from the area’s previous functions. Nonetheless, some traces of the demolished neighbourhood remain visible on the street edges...
When my kids were small, I was fighting with crazy Youtube videos. Kids started with something innocent and soon were watching sick and disturbing pieces.

So I built an app to control their Youtube consumption, which later turned to a cool small business https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1431645198
"The rest of the world outside China has remained at the same or worse poverty levels, largely."

This largely is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Specifically, many countries in southeast Asia, geographically close to China but using different societal models, have grown much, much richer since 1950.

South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia have nowadays much higher living standards than they used to have.
You are missing the point that they are not. It is more reasonable to assume that one has heard what one has listened to.
Uh, this is disingenuous. Patents are limited to 20 years, and for a good reason.

(I would wish for much shorter copyrights, too, or at least for the need to register and pay them after X years.)
I think the reason programmers want to automate documentation is:

- they are programmers, automating things is their job, that's what they are good at, so of course they will do that

- there is the general "don't repeat yourself" idea. Documentation repeats the code so, ideally, if both are needed one should be generated from the other. Sometimes, the code can be generated from the documentation, but most of the times you can't, so documentation becomes secondary to the code.

The previous article [1] has these paragraphs:

>I have always been a bad procrastinator. I think my procrastination habits are rooted in anxiety.

>As you might guess, comprehensive exams are very anxiety-provoking. So, when I first began preparing, I had a lot of trouble. I tried to draw on best practices—breaking down the task, defining the end goal, practicing mindfulness—but I was struggling.

>One of the things I would use to procrastinate was Shortcuts.

>Then, one day, I realized: why not build an automation that guides me through these best practices to conquer procrastination?

>That’s where Mise en place came from. The name is stolen from the French culinary concept of “setting in place” everything you need before you begin cooking.

>The core concept of the Mise en place shortcut is simple: lead me through a preparatory ritual to reduce anxiety, and then add some check-ins to help catch me in the act if I go too far off-task.

I would say just add 0.5% transfer tax to every type of stock transaction. Simplest way to manage.
Perceived Affordances and the Functionality Mismatch
Russia sees extremes of both heat and cold. That may play a part in deciding to use separate rail piece.
I dont see what sentiment you are referring to in the article.

I have seen lots of people try to pull the ladder up on developing nations, so was expecting that in the article based on your comment. But instead found this:

> These cities are characterised by badly insulated buildings and energy-wasteful transport systems: these two inefficiencies consume far more fossil fuels than AC systems.

The article kind of rambled, but I agree with where it ends up, we should have always been pushing for more efficient A/C and heating (and in some places we were, proving it was possible and indeed irresponsible not to) and it is systems, not individual technologies, we should be fixing e.g. carbon taxes don't affect renewable powered AC (though we need to be careful about the refridgerents used).
Great advice. I'm not a parent (yet) but reading your comment it strikes me that playing outdoors is safer than it was when I was a kid in the 90s, but is more discouraged. Playing online is actually more dangerous than it was in the 90s/00s but is more encouraged.
I've taken a ticket. Please let me know when it's my turn to look at the website.
Cities can be completely inconsistent on this. At a building in a mid-sized city in California, we had the police department advise us to call their non-emergency number for emergencies and let the dispatcher know that we actually had an emergency, because this would reach the department directly, whereas calling 911 would usually reach the CHP, and there were apparently problems with communication between the CHP and the department. They said that their non-emergency line reached the same dispatchers that 911 calls routed to the department would reach.
Hacking enlightenment: can ultrasound help you transcend reality?
I used to think I had a problem with procrastination.

I realized what was really happening was, I’m sometimes compelled to do something I don’t want to do.

In those situations I have to just talk simply and honestly with myself: I’m not doing x because I don’t want to and I accept the consequences of not doing it, or, I’m doing x even though I don’t want to.

Calling it procrastination was for me actually saying a variation of the former. I don’t want to do x, but I also don’t want to accept the consequences of not doing it, so I’ll bullshit myself and pretend I’m doing it by calling it procrastination.

Better to admit #1 and recognize that I may choose to change my mind and do it later. Practically it’s the same, but this way I’m being honest with myself.
> It's worth noting that the targeting information for these strikes came from the US

Hmm, dubious; surely if the targeting info came from the US, then the Ukrainians would have blown up several of their own hospitals, schools, wedding parties etc?!
In Spain too.
As a counterpoint/bit of anecdata: Several celebrated painters only really gained widespread acclaim after their deaths.
Concatenative K
My educated guess would be no - excepting specialist applications like super high frequency signal processing, or very high power levels.
If we look at trends, as computers got faster, more and more analog signal processing circuitry got replaced by digital equivalents, with some analog frontend that does downmixing and initial filtering as a frontend for the ADC.

For example, transistor-driven class A and AB amps that used to be analog amplifiers were replaced by class D amps - essentially a pulse-width modulated signal controlled by a switch-mode FET with a filter bank on the back end. This allowed the creation of very compact and power efficient audio equipment - like the portable Bluetooth speakers we have today.

Likewise, all other traditionally analog stuff, like power supplies, signal processing, motor control got a major boost from improving digital technology to the point I can't really imagine analog making a comeback if not for some niche reason.
I just wanted to create a library for python, so people didn’t have to learn a new language. It also comes from my personal dislike for VHDL ahahaha
I keep my backup. The only bad thing about mega is they seems to charge for bandwidth. Other provides like Google drive doesn't.
The greatest difference is probably on predatory practices by companies. Even adults are vulnerable to loot boxes, gachas, addiction mechanics and other shady skinnerboxy traps.
Yes, I must have missed all the Christian leaders coming out against the extremists in the media and in online communities

I can't hear what isn't there. The extremists have been taking over the political parties and nobody has said or done anything. If you claim otherwise, perhaps you can inform me with citations

It doesn't matter if you think they don't represent your views. The extremists are the ones in media constantly, they're the ones in the public eye. They're representing Christianity to the public at large. That is the important point
I completely agree with this. Every single project with « conventional commits » that try to generate release notes end up with completely useless release notes. Just bite the bullet and write for humans, it’s not that hard, especially if you do it on the fly as suggested by the post.
I'm curious, can you elaborate what kind of disturbing pieces popped up?
What "else" are you referring to? networkd? resolved? journald? Something else?
So, the claim is that RHEL has broken packaging which doesn't reflect ABI changes, and somehow that means you have to reverse engineer its build mechanism from srpms to accommodate it being non-deterministic somehow? Care to give an example? I don't remember ever seeing one. (Of course package maintainers for EPEL, for instance, should use abipkgdiff. I don't remember what the status of automating that is in Fedora.)
I think legality still matters.

But more importantly it is a joke to compare the situation in Catalonia with that of Hong Kong. It’s not like we see trains full of people on the way to torture in concentration camps leaving Barcelona.
What exactly is the part that offended you? I can't see anything particularly "political".

You're probably being down voted for that, for vague shit-stirring rather than a concrete discussion.
China Is Stealing Taiwan’s Sand
The first thing I did was look at their long page to see if I'm still on there.

I'm not. I suppose it's a good and a bad thing that my once-legendary trolls have been forgotten, but back before many of y'all were born, I was a god of trolling. The whole internet quivered when I swung my hammer.

Now I'm a boring normie: married, medicated, with two cats.
Out of interest, got examples of those use-cases where it does not work?
Have you read this article https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/07/resolving-conflicts... ?
The experiment is over. It failed. Social media didn't bring us what we hoped it would bring us, and its cons outweigh its pros.

Perhaps we should organize a national poll against social media. It is time we admit that the Amish were right to a certain extent, and if it helps: believing that technology only brings value is in itself much like a religion.
A problem I and everyone else I know with a lightning-connector iPhone (or iPad) have never encountered. Ever.

This mythical problem has been repeatedly brought up and I am now beginning to think that it is simply a theoretical problem and not one that anyone ever has, but the additional effort needed to align and insert a usb-c connector is quite real. If I could use wireless charging on my iPad I am certain I would never again use a cable for power because it is such a pain to do without actually looking at the connection point.
another way to put it is that even if there isn't consensus on a legal solution (particularly when those kind of solutions involve state power and violence), it's fine to express and promote a moral stance
Does this mean we can never rebase toward the consumer again?
I was heavily involved with Wikipedia during the mid-2000s. The truth is, it was a very toxic community back then. (I have no idea if it's better now.) However, the product itself was (and is) quite good. Even for all the nonsense, it's still a marvel how high the quality of most of the articles is.

It’s really shocking to me how much easier software was, but the rewards are inversely proportional as well.

If you're unlucky enough to end up among the whole 3% of us that really can't find a job, you aren't going to starve. At any rate it's hardly reasonable to expect you should be able to refuse to comply with your terms of employment and not suffer any negative consequences.

The thing that helped me the most to design maintainable systems was the use of Clean Architecture. In particular, the [Cosmic Python Book](https://www.cosmicpython.com/), which offers practical examples on how to implement Clean Architecture in Python, and which design patterns are more useful to keep every layer independent.
You need to approximately grow as many kg of plants each day as you eat food each day.

That's a lot of plants. Possible, but your house will feel more like a rainforest.
It doesn’t take much scrutinization to understand the underlying motivations of those who speak nostalgically of the rule of pro-western dictatorships. They come from families which used to profit from the theft of the colonized lands and were forced to flee (with whatever they managed to steal) once said lands were liberated.

The westener who defends such rule are racists unable to grant the oriental people the right to live and organize in a manner of their choosing. It is a “the-white man’s burden” and into the “heart of darkness” brand of racism which justifies itself by painting the East as backwards. But why is the East backwards? Is it because the East does not buy up the hedonistic materialism that the West has always been peddling as “liberalism” and instead prefers its own culture?

So ironic that the first intervention to claim a “public place for women” is one which paints the destruction of brothels negatively as a consequence of the religious gaining too much power. Is there any doubt that those who are claiming to be “enlightened” truly prefer a world where people in general — and women especially —remain objects of sexual desire which are used to herd people through endless cycles of aesthetically-driven consumerism?
It's a reinterpretation of the original story, not a shot-for-shot remake. That's what made it interesting IMHO and it's also fitting to the whole Jazz theme.
I have a mix of low to moderate ADHD, moderate social anxiety and moderate general anxiety and have been a world class procrastinator. But having a child changed the scenario. because I had to force myself to focus in what really matters, stopped to be a perfectionist (which sometimes is a excuse to procrastinate) otherwhise I'd be in prison (for not paying my kid bills) or probably homeless.
Seriously, I remember programming in constrained environments, for example in a calculator, and how that seemed to boost my creativity. I wonder if something is not lost (in terms of learning) by having such hugely powerful systems with any non-trivial functionality a simple library download away.
Good old placebo seems just as likely.
Sorry for a silly and not very technical idea: ask an artist to redraw image in higher scale?
Yea this is true, it’s just annoying that they do that and then boast as if it’s their own technology while screaming about the virtues of their State, which, is inarguably inferior on this particular point given that in order to advance in technology they must acquire it from superior economic systems.
How studying something super optimized to be small is more practical than learning something step by step?

I am not saying studying those tiny compilers is not useful, just that they are not a good starting point for most people. First you need to learn the basics then you can learn (and appreciate) those tiny compilers.
I agree. I want to be able to be externally curious.

Maybe it's about actually having an external goal and a strong (internal or external) motivation to achieve it.
Nah, this is for people who don't already have Comcast.
I know a family with teenagers that helped this by only allowing each kid a phone without social media at first, when the kid was in eighth grade or so. And after a year they could use social media on the phone. Also, after a certain time every night they insisted everyone in the family put their phones at the charging station in the kitchen. So at least no late night social media. So they had phones they just couldn't use them for social media purposes nearly as much and not until a later age.

This would take discipline but it did seem like their kids were less phone dependent and social when I've talked to them.
What's supposed to happen? All I get is a static image and a progress bar across the screen...
For all the flaws of social media, it’s bizarre to think back to a time that three television networks essentially controlled all news

Sure it’s possible that social media will never improve, but that’s unlikely. We’ll collectively figure it out
You're correct from a DSP standpoint but the point remains VLF is very slow.
Giant plastic spiders chasing kids. Momo. Kids behaving silly in front of camera and playing silly games. Kids with masks of superheroes. Something about SCP.
Agreed. If anything, it was in the 90s and early 2000s that almost everyone moved to digital.

I remember several keyboardist, guitarist and engineer friends selling all their analog gear for some stuff that is completely obsolete and abandoned by players now.

The analog stuff on the other hand sells like hotcakes. Even stuff from the 90s fetches crazy prices.

And with the renaissance, people are also buying newly designed analog stuff at an amazing pace.
"I've got a couple MakeNoise synths that are likewise very modern designs but stand up to anything anyone's ever done, vintage or not."

It doesn't even have to be modern... in fact, for many consumers something "modern" is undesirable.

Like "organic", "analog" and "vintage" are very effective marketing terms.

Slap those on your products and they'll sell like hotcakes.

Interesting. You're right, it is not capitalized in the original article. Although i still think the passage you are quoting is talking about normal text and not title case.

The MiniDisc deck you hoped to never see [video]
Kind of true. But the Shah was no champion of anybody's right:

> ... Police reports from the Muzaffarī period (1896–1907) show that the most common punishment for women caught selling sex was a practice known as nafie-balad. This was a form of forceful banishment or eviction from the city targeted at sinful, criminal and undesirable subjects and those who defy social and moral conventions of the society ... Public discontent came to a head at the end of the 1910s with the first series of petitions in 1919 calling for sex workers to be banished from Tehran.

> The political figure and writer Hassan Ezam-Qodsi notes that sex workers from Qajariyah alley in Tehran were moved to this new neighbourhood in order to avoid sexual assaults on "respectable" women in the city ... One day, all the women suspected of selling sex were gathered and moved by military trucks to a nearby caravanserai outside of Tehran’s wall: “the wayward women were all thrown in there like sheep... later, houses were built and a neighbourhood took shape which was named Shahrinaw”.

> The district offered its services as usual until the 1940s when public dissatisfaction surged again ... In this period, the practice of nafie-balad was again deployed as a tool to address the public concern over the rapid spread of sexually transmitted diseases ... the result of an STD test undertaken by Pasteur Institute of Tehran in 1929 showed that 43 per cent of the 3,498 participants were tested positive ... Eventually, in 1953 the municipality bowed to public pressure and ordered the erection of a two-and-a-half-metre tall brick wall around Shahrinaw, restricting entry to a rusty metal gate on the southern edge of the neighbourhood. While the gate was open to men seeking illicit pleasure, women were allowed neither in nor out.
Let's not forget about putting kids on the PIP.
Because you'd want to know why code does what it does.

If a bug pops up, you'd want to know why some code exists and if the original premise of the code is as it should be or needs revision.

I think it's very rare that a developer receives all that information up front in a team. Eg. Old codebase, lost knowledge or people leaving.
I disagree about the angle. As an example, consider three goals for the next thousand years:

1. The same organization runs an ever-changing stream of brands and stories.

2. The same brand/logo is maintained backed by an ever-changing stream of stories.

3. The same story is told and re-told. It may spawn its own organizations and logos but it's the story is keeping it all together.

Historically it is clear that number 3 prevails.
I enjoy this tool.
Yes, suspended, but then resumed once it was determined the risks were very low and suitable techniques were established to handle the adverse reactions.
I can attest to it - it gave me many interesting evenings!
I’ve run the Windows ARM beta on my M1 MacBook Pro 13” and it boots quickly, runs fast and well, under Parallels. Office works good too. I had assumed that since this was a beta, that a regular ARM release would be coming soon, but apparently not? I use it to test compatibility for websites in Windows web browsers. They all work fine too.
As a tech worker with kids, what I see is an all out war being waged on their attention span, motivation to consume, and healthy self-concept with zero regard for their healthy cognitive development. I let my kids watch certain specific shows on YouTube Kids and Netflix, and that's it. About 30 minutes a day, tops, and I am almost always in earshot. Articles that came out in the last 5 years or so about Silicon Valley execs keeping their kids away from the very products that make them rich was a very telling indicator. Much good as the internet has done or my life, I was also blessed to have grown up with a childhood that was not permeated by it during my early formative years. There is some great content out there, but the data is coming down firmly on a negative correlation between screen time and a variety of child health measures. Kids deserve their innocence. When they are older, I will definitely be installing monitoring on my router for their IP traffic.
Heh, that's one of the very first issues I read. Computers were so exciting back then.
Yep. Especially compared to the 80s and 90s when you couldn’t even give a Minimoog away.

Even stuff that’s born digital, like samplers, are coming with analog parts today.
There are two narratives being told - one to the top brass to increase investment and one to gen population of not to worry we're going to win so don't be a defeatist/pacifist/collaborator.

I always welcome higher prices on things with externalities. Does this make me, and everyone who believes in basic economic theory the baddies?

Surely there is something else that could be done other than subsidizing fossil fuels to make poor people not freeze, boil and/or starve ?

Well, okay that seems like one of the few items that would make it through a government run by and for fossil fuel interests, but in theory at least there are other options that could be explored if we cared about poor people more than just as conduits of cash to the fossil fuel industry.
The article you linked is written by a little known author, Abdullah Safi, who wrote articles against atheism. He clearly dislikes the Shah rule. What reason do we have to trust him?

Furthermore, even if we trust him to be unbiased (I don't), he only says that people who were fighting against the Shah (the armed rebels, the Communist supporters, etc) didn't enjoy a good life. He doesn't say that the Shah gave trouble to the regular people who weren't trying to overthrow the government.
