Health and safety bureaucrats arguably prevent affordable leisure activities - in most western countries it is very hard to provide unique small business run experiential places and activities due to endless expense meeting ever more legal requirements. The result is identical generic theme parks, stadiums etc all over the world run by large global companies.

The theme park companies will milk a family for everything they have once they're in the park with kids wanting to wait for evening fireworks aligned with slightly less expensive pizza and sugary drink offers.
Shameless plug - come work for us at Anduril, we're steadily hiring. It's been the best job I've ever had.
Not yet. My ex is a geneticist who studies the evolutionary basis of aging and this is one of the hypotheses for human longevity being what it is, but there isn't hard proof so far.
in the same vein as craigslist will this site likely be used for sex work? probably

does that matter? not to me. sex work is work and sex workers usually make it clear as to what their listing is about (otherwise they won't get work).
Hinkley Point C is being funded privately, based on a mechanism whereby the government guarantees EDF receive £92.50/MWh. This was thought of as expensive when the deal was being negotiated but the current wholesale price has been above that level for most of the past 12 months and is currently about £243/MWh. While EDF get the difference made up when the price is below the strike price, they pay back the difference if the wholesale price is higher.
>> Are you people not Americans?

> I think people are just not very aware of the past including their grandfathers generation these days.

It feels surreal to have to even state this, but "being American" does not require that one's grandparents grew up in America. Being a first or second generation immigrant does not make one less "American"
What I would really like to instead of methods that help me speed up my reading is something that has a model of my knowledge and can summarize information to the points I don't know yet and are relevant to me.

Does someone know if that exists or if there is research on it?
No, it's different. I'm not suggesting "the west" taking control of the Amazon, but humanity as a whole. The other option is hoping for the best or trusting a corrupt government to do the right thing for the rest of the globe. It hasn't worked well yet.
They will be, and are, merely one among many. What grants MIT the authority to be The One Source Of Truth? Why? Who compels it?
And that the authors don't have conflicts of interest. It's a decentralized unregulated reader-beware system. Even the good journals, say like Nature, are still just private companies that make up and then follow their own rules which they could change or ignore at will. Good science happens all the time, but, BS also gets published and, sadly, often gets more attention than the legit stuff because its more sensational. Its a tough problem with no easy solution.
What's the actual advantage of HTMX over something like React or Vue? All 3 require some form of JavaScript library coupled with markup to build interfaces. While I'm all about killing JavaScript as much as possible (why should I let $MEGACORP execute code on my device all willy-nilly without any real restrictions?), I just don't see the tangible benefit to the end user here.

(And don't start with "it's faster/more efficient", that comparison isn't terribly valid because the inefficiencies seen with React/Vue are largely an artifact of bad code/practices, not the libraries themselves.)
Craigslist gets some protections from Section 230. Meta, on the other hand, recently settled a suit that its ad targeting allows advertisers to discriminate[1] (full disclosure, I work for Meta, but my views are my own). Because this website is a tool with the specific purpose of discriminatory housing (vs Meta's general-purpose ad targeting), I'd be very careful.

I'd say it's more that there is an increasing desire for science and science literacy, but those are expensive public goods that our current system has limited incentive to provide. That leaves the window open to interest groups and marketers do bad science or push pseudoscience that simply imitates the form and makes people feel informed and fact based again.

So science literacy is slowly increasing, but the amount of bullshit masquerading as science to nudge you to buy more Camel cigarettes or vote whatever policy the charlatan wants to push is increasing a lot faster
> Nobody is claiming they were banned because guns are absolutely, intrinsically bad. It's just that the safety tradeoff didn't seem good enough.

I was making a (what I thought was) very thinly-veiled commentary on the current political discourse regarding guns in the media.

> I suggested the presence of the gun, especially in light of recent space team psychological problems, might be an invitation to a future disaster.

And this is just poor reasoning and political grandstanding from the author. The author wants to feel like he accomplished something really meaningful, and is patting himself on the back for it. These people can be trusted to travel to space and depend on each other for survival out there, but the presence of a very scary gun is the breaking point of where they can't be trusted anymore? At some point, you either trust someone or you don't. If I couldn't trust a colleague with a gun, there's no way I would be traveling to space with them, because either way my life would be in their hands.

Luton is all asphalt. The long runway at Yuma is concrete and the shorter ones are part asphalt part concrete. And they likely chose the asphalt formulation appropriately given that they’re in the middle of a desert.
Route 66 wasnt even fully paved for the first decade of its existence, and was never an interstate. I dont think anyone here thinks travel by car was invented in the 1970s.
Am I the only one that doesn't like this direction for the syntax? This was the main reason why I never got into Rust, it was just too different without any obvious reason. It's strange that I actually enjoy working with type annotated modern Python though.

I'll now go away for a few years until the dust settles.
I think online reservations are kind of a problem by being so low-friction and often free.

I'm seeing more and more restaurants requiring a significant deposit with a reservation, because apparently there are a lot of no-shows. I kind of suspect that people are making several reservations for the same night, then deciding on the day which place they want to go to. Why not, when it takes about 3 clicks to go from Google Maps to a completed reservation? The deposits are OpenTable & friends' way of solving a problem that was introduced by their own product!

It seems like the basic effort of picking up a phone and actually speaking to a person at the restaurant or campground to make the reservation would have two positive effects: it adds a little friction so it's not as easy to make half a dozen reservations, and when you speak to that person it reinforces in your mind that you have made an agreement to show up for this thing.
I still have a beautiful MD player from Panasonic not much bigger than a Minidisc in any dimension. I think the iPod really killed Minidisc, because the user experience was simply that much better than other MP3 players, which were generally janky designs from unknown brands.
A bit of a spoiler -- this is also a plot point in Astronaut Chris Hadfield's novel "The Apollo Murders".
I feel that the well-written prose is falling out of fashion. With the informational overload, people no longer enjoy writing and reading paragraphs of text. Even on YouTube, increasing the playback speed is probably the most used feature today. Sometimes, I feel this trend is becoming generational. Who knows, maybe a few decades from now, anyone who copiously writes and reads a couple of books every week would be considered a genius.

Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy, but it feels to me that these days, beginner programmers tend to focus on learning programming languages, and only later (sometimes) they realize - to be a successful software developer, one has to focus on learning a human language - English et al.

I think we (techy people) could reverse this trend by creating a culture of writing. It becomes even more important with the remote working style and distributed teams. It should become a norm - for when to ship three lines of code, there would be a page or two, explaining the change in English.

Then who knows, maybe a few decades from now, anyone who copiously writes and reads a couple of books every week would be considered "a smart person working in tech".
The great irony is that BP and Shell did plan for global warming and did upgrade their infrastructure accordingly. Even back in the 80s, they build their ocean drilling rigs to be high above the water knowing full well that they were causing the icebergs to melt and the water level to rise. They just kind of forgot to let us rubes know about it.
Much of the London tube doesn't have AC. Talk about lack of planning. Pretty sure all lines of the NYC Subway had ac 25+ years ago and they're notorious for drawing out project timelines.
I think you're right. Apparently, tarmac is not only the name of the area of an airport, but also the name of a material, and tarmac is different from asphalt.
The more recognizable you are the more discrimination you get, depending on the location. Often it also means finding roommates and optimizing for safety before anything else - harder to do when one is say, visibly transitioning in a smaller town. Christians and white nationalists tend to use the idea of LGBT people as examples of moral decay.

Main difference is that Stride is entirely written in C#. So if you are a .NET developer, the technology is transparent.

Other game engines just use "C# scripting" with their own runtime and c++ engine core. So it is a black box, as supposed to Stride that is completely open and the engine and the scripts are normal C# with latest official .NET runtime.
C++ has virtually zero tooling and the committee is not interested in ever working on that. Comparing CMake to cargo is like comparing fifth century fireworks to the Space Shuttle. I mean we are getting modules that aren't literally copy paste maybe next year.
I need to switch my car so that I could buy a comma.ai and use it at its full potential (my Mazda's steering motor isn't powerful enough)
They put more gravel inside the tarmac or use concrete.

All for it, but this will hurt EVs quite a lot.
If by infrastructure, you mean trains, then the UK, like every other country uses rails appropriate to the average temperature.

"Network Rail said that its rails have a "stress-free" temperature of 27 degrees."

Where is the one-sided information here?

Technically the PreussenElektra CEO is Guido Knott, they operate and have a substantive ownership of the German nuclear plants. Preusenelektra is a subsidiary of E.ON, where Leonhard Birnbaum is the CEO you mention. His opinion follows the government decision. In a letter to the people working for Preussenelektra he wrote:

"The German government has examined the contribution that the remaining nuclear power plants can make to solving the current energy crisis and, after weighing the options, has come to the decision that nuclear energy should not be part of the solution [..] This decision must be respected [..] I can imagine that one or the other of you had hoped that for a while, as a transitional solution, nuclear energy would still have some way to go."

As quoted in "Rheinische Post" (Wednesday edition, 22 june 2022)

Now Bernd Guhlich, communication of PreussenElektra acknowledges this in the interview. Without the OK of the government and by proxy CEO E.ON Leonhard Birnbaum nothing will happen. The E.ON CEO is not the decision or policy maker here, that's the government (which is by definition open to public debate).
But, and that was the point Bern Guhlich was making (which is not one sided as he acknowledges the decision): Isar can technically run for longer then the end of this year if the government decides to do that.
The Bundesministerium fuer Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (a department of the government) decided against that for reasons Bern Guhlich argues are false:

* there is no legal basis

* the 3 nuclear plants cannot operate longer without fuel rods

Additionally the tweet from Mark Nelson asserts:
"Chancellor Scholz and Economy Minister Habeck have been falsely claiming that nuclear plants cannot operate because of staffing and lack of fuel."

Perhaps you mean that there are other reasons the CEO mentioned in the article you refer to: extension would be of limited energy benefit.
It's obviously not about sex work, but about preying on the vulnerable. Your opinion aside, quite a few countries and cultures look down on predators and trading sex for a place to live.
Fixed prefixes also make a codebase significantly more grep-able. Want to find the definition of the function named `foobar`? Search `fn foobar` and that will always match, no regex required.
If that's the only criterion then Pascal's syntax, which doesn't have "the most vexing parse" problem either, and for the same reason, is also almost better than anything else.
The TP-82 design, while technically a pistol, has a double-barrel shotgun mounted on top of another barrel that fires 5.45x39 rounds (same as an AK-47). A lot more punch than your typical pistol. I wouldn't want to be a bear looking down the wrong end of one.
I can believe that. No Python (or other language) dependency solution will be able to solve that. You need OS level configuration management. The average dev just installs and upgrades things willy-nilly.
> Why would concrete melt, ever?

The runway is made from asphalt concrete, in which the bitumen binder starts to melt in the temperatures being experienced.

That someone is you.
Not really. That is the dream of the fast reactor. It had been ongoing since the 50s. All attempts have been more costly than uranium reactors and there's only one in Russia which has operated with any kind of longevity.

They also have proliferation concerns and have therefore been limited to nuclear powers.

The major usecase for Carbon is to advance Google's internal, multi-billion line, C++ codebase.

As nice as a greenfield language with a clean ffi would be, "extremely close ties to C++" is Carbon's primary benefit.

Honestly, if some government needs to have my data, and I can't reasonably prevent it, I would be more than happy if that's some government on the other side of the planet without practical means to put me in jail, torture, and influence to do things that can harm me and my friends and family.

Being spied by Russia, no problem. Being spied by China, no big deal either. But being spied by the USA or EU controlled entities can pose a life thread to any EU citizen.

US citizens have it only a bit better, since they are at least protected from the EU, and only their own government has power upon them.

Never before has such a small amount of infrastructure come at such a high price.

I used alcohol as an example, and should have been more clear that it was _just_ an example.

I'm sure you and I could find common ground where we believe that carrot/stick approach is dumb, but that some rule should be passed.
The difference is that when we hear about that being done extrajudicially, it's a scandal.

We have a system where due process is required. Sometimes authorities break those laws. But the system and culture is nonetheless there and for a reason.

The syntax `name: Type` is also friendlier to type inference as you generally have a token indicating a declaration. If you have `var x: Type = …` then you can just omit the type and let inference do its job.

Even better, when you start having more complex patterns on the left-hand side of `=`, you can type annotate them as you want. Hypothetical syntax would be:

var (x: f32, y, [z1,z2,z3]) = SomeExpression();

That's harder to do when you have a type declaration on the left imho.

It's better than doing nothing!

If you want to argue for more laws, go ahead. But don't do this whataboutism where you pretend like you care about these issues, and argue against ways of stopping, at least some of the bad things happening.
Looks like in theory it works similar to other solutions I've seen, although those rarely get the polish I see in the video (since they're internal tools).
The martingale strategy increases just shifts the risk around. Your typical (not average) bet becomes profitable, but a string of bad luck becomes catastrophic.

You double your bet each time you loose, so you have a better chance of making back to your losses, however, you increase your chance of loosing everything to an unlikely event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

You can do it with any amount of money, but it still isn't long term profitable unless you have an infinite bankroll.
I work at an ad agency designers design up a visual its looked over by a developer before it goes to the client to make sure they don't design something that can't be built.

> do you also find that there's a lot of tension between developers and designers?

Nope the designers can use what ever they want I take photoshop, illustrator, indesign, xd, figma what ever and build it thats my job. Designers make the decision on what tools they use for their job I decide what tools I use for my job. Let's face it once you learn one design tool the rest are fairly similar.

Any pain points I have seen have been from a lack of communication, designers don't know what developers know and they need you to tell them. This is a two way street I see developers turn their nose up at designs or give criticism on the design like the choice of colours when they should feedback on the build ability of the design.

Respect your designers they have a very impressive skill one most people lack and under appreciate. They are not like clients they understand their skill and industry as well as a developer does, treat them with the respect that skill and understanding deserves (don't talk down to them).

Once built designers can come across as critical of developers they designed a masterpiece and they want it pixel perfect. They often feedback that it needs more spacing or on small alignment issues. I could hand wave this as unimportant it won't look any better if I do what they say but I don't I take their skill and feedback seriously I fix the issue and it always looks better and they appreciate my attention to detail, the client is over the moon.

Work with your designers and they will make you look great thats their skill use it.
Judge Allows Twitter to Expedite Lawsuit Against Musk
Yeah, web IDEs have made life a lot easier but I don't think the experience works well for a minimal note taking flow. one of the most important things for me when it comes to a note-taking app is to be able to write free form and without the need for too much process - obviously this is not quite possible in markdown or really most digital formats, but also just the fact that I know git is backing my notes store creates a maintenance burden in my mind that I'm not sure I care for. I used to use jupyter notebooks way back when which felt more flexible but even that began to feel too heavy a process.

Do you use git at all in terms of committing notes and looking through history, or are you only ever adding on top and treating a commit like a save in a notepad app? This is a bit peripheral but I've been considering investing in a remarkable tablet, but using it obviously requires me to carry an additional physical device around.
I'd say maybe ~120 or so, but yeah I'd like to see a minor extension of the limit. Would make things a bit easier and allow for less editorializing of more complex headlines. (Operative word: allow.)
Company, not individual. There is a list on Wikipedia but it shows 34 games, not over 50. It's a shovelware factory. They farmed the work out to employees and contractors. I think they got lucky, they were on the verge of bankruptcy. Not efficient or repeatable.
