> Absolutely, inflation hurts. For example, I know that small town governments who provide the critical infrastructure for their communities drive the equivalent of an F150 and the increase in gas prices strains city budgets, which may only be $1M per annum. Will they get by? Absolutely, because self-reliance is baked into their existence, the community rallies and supports its own, or they couldn't continue to live and survive in such remote environs.

A ridiculous tautology. They will continue to exist because if they couldn't they wouldn't? Self reliance is baked into their existence? Please.

Let's do a check:

> Despite Texas gaining more people than any other state in the past decade, more than half of its counties lost population, according to the 2020 U.S. Census.

> During the past few decades, changes in agriculture and the boom-or-bust oil and gas industry have led to dwindling employment opportunities in rural Texas. Many young people leave rural communities after high school in search of economic and social opportunity, often never returning.

These towns are hurting badly. They're not going to survive by gritting their teeth.
Correct. Typically they give a small discount if you do EZPass otherwise it's toll by plate. E470 around Denver has been like this for...decades maybe.

Articles like this underscore how much more efficient we've become, both in average earning potential and what it costs to produce something.

Is it a $80 Men's Warehouse jacket? No.
Would an $80 Men's Warehouse jacket fit as well? Also No.
Would a similar Jacket cost a week's wages today? Maaaaybe. I'm sure you could find someone to sell you a jacket for that much money.

Could you have a Jacket tailored for $200 that looked fabulous? Yes.

But then you wouldn't wear it as much as this jacket, probably, but you have a CLOSET full of casual, formal, maybe business formal, maybe you just have a suit you wear for the occasional funeral.

That suit didn't come close in price to what, possibly more than one, person spent on this jacket.

There was an article/research program on what a person's earning potential was, and used 'an evening's oil for light and heat'. I can't seem to put my hands on it now, but it's similarly amazing that, historically, a day's labor for light is now earned in the first 5 minutes of my workday.
My interest in commercial OS es is on the support/ contracting parts. For instance if tomorrow Sony wants to make a non Windows VAIO machine and look for a partner with an OEM program, open source OSes are out of the picture.

They could take a LTS somewhere, pay another specialized company for additional expertise, but the would be no way to have an actual contract with the leading entity, and have any weight on the direction the OS will be developped (MS is also bigger than any single OEM, but they will still try to keep the majority of OEMs happy and not pull the rug under their feet. Ubuntu for instance doesn’t have such strong incentives)

Collateral damage before the ages of strategic bombing and artillery usually consisted of stuff like famine, fire, and exposure. Not that any of the militaries of the time really gave a flying fig. War back then was more along the lines of national scale murder rather than the extension of politics by force. Collateral damage is a new concept that originated during Vietnam. Before then it was just "War", "Burn the Heretic", and "Don't hurt the new slaves!"
Just speculating, I have never done anything like this.

I bet you could pull this off with a container (Like a clean IBC tote) and a well water pump. Have the drain go back to the tote. Setup a sink off of the well water line. It will keep the lines pressurized and usable. Then have the sink drain back into the tote. Would want to treat the water like pool water to keep it from getting gross. a little filter and some shock/chlorine.

It is not a bath tub, but would still let them enjoy a sink.

The pump might be loud if you but a cheaper one which could be an issue for the child.

Might be able to rig a sump in the tote instead (cheaper) but you would need to figure out how you want turn it on since it would always be submerged in water - the normal switch would always be on.

Good luck - would be interested in knowing what solution you come up with.

Edit - After looking around a bit, you can pick up a grey water recycling system. They have the pumps, filters, container all bundled into a kit. This seems like the easiest (but not exactly cheapest) way to go. While speculating above I was basically re-inventing one of these.
Also it looks like you can scale this down to an RV sized system or up to whole house.

Backup cameras are not going to save any significant amount of lives. What fraction of our car deaths are from backing up? Sure, it sounds like a good idea, and is a good idea, but it will not make the slightest dent in the death and carnage.

There is one place that has solved this, Oslo:
https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/10/16/best-practices-how-os...

Lots of other cities in the US adopted "Vision Zero" policies after seeing how Osls was drastically reducing death. But US cities refuse to make any of the changes that are actually successful at reducing death.

Because what needs to change isn't just the design of the car, what really needs to happen is a change in the design of the road.

We must start designing cities with the assumption that drivers will make mistakes, as all people always do. The design of roads and intersections must minimize the change for a deadly mistake.

And perhaps, and here's the part that's really outside the Overton window, Pepe who want to travel by non-car means should have just as much access and safety as those inside cars. We force everyone in the US to get around by car if they are going to be the median participant in society. What if we had a world where the median person, with a job, was not expected to drive?
The missing piece here is how much did costs increase? Are the costs maybe slower to catch up due to locked in prices and they raised to consumers earlier? We'll see. I wouldn't expect these record profits to hold.
It is surprising to me that the quote:
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
is from 1983 and not from Einstein. It fits so well as a (misguided) critique of quantum physics. The double slits experiment is indeed to do the same thing again and again, expecting different results.
Thanks!

They definitely promise the same thing but with different approaches.

The key thing that turned me off of Dagger is this: "Tie it all together in CUE". Personally I'm not the biggest fan of CUE and would rather just write Go. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like CUE is used in Dagger to create the config that the CI service will use. Switching to another service would mean rewriting that CUE file but reusing the Go/JS/whatever components, which is a great improvement over what we have to deal with now. With Scribe the goal is that you'd only ever have to write the whole thing once, but you're limited to Go.
The event loop shouldn't continue the circle until the microtask queue is empty, from what I remember.

Browsers probably used to squeeze layouting and such things in when the event loop completed an iteration or became idle. However nowadays it's entirely possible that have, or will have, browsers that do even work in parallel while the javascript event loop is still running, possibly even beginning to paint while javascript is still running synchronously (haven't seen that yet).

I've seen instances where browsers seem to be like "nah, I'll render this part later" and only would render some parts of the page, but certain layers (scrolling containers) would not be filled on the first paint - despite everything being changed in one synchronous operation!* And I've seen them do that at least 5 years ago.

It seems to me the situation is complicated.

* There was a loading overlay and a list being filled with data (possibly thousands of elements). The loading overlay would be removed after the list was filled, revealing it. What often happened was that the overlay would disappear, but the list still looking empty for a frame or two.

"The number of beds in the hospital" is short-hand for the number of attended beds. The actual limit here is doctors and nurses, not the physical number of beds. It's easy to get more beds in an emergency (go to Ikea; I'm not joking). Not so easy to get more trained medical staff.
Statements with the word 'never' should immediately be dismissed, especially when you're being as pedantic as you are in your above argument.

If I dissect your points with the same gusto as you dissect the article's:

> It seems that this person is saying we could lose BBQ in all 254 counties in Texas?

Not what they're saying, they're saying some could be lost which would mean BBQ would not be available in every county.

> Brisket has not been $1.69 for years, unless this gentleman has some sort of sweetheart deal.

Comparing wholesale prices to HEB makes no sense. I also can't get 150 eggs for that price.

> Texas BBQ will never go away.

The hubris in this statement is unbelievable! Why do you think BBQ of all things is immune from societal changes? Countless foods and other cultural activities have been lost over generations due to even more reasons. I find it funny how your wording makes BBQ sound like the last bastion of civilization that should be defended!

I get the skepticism, but the response is a bit over the top for what's being talked about. It's just BBQ, they're having a rough time, we might lose some businesses.
API is always simplification and is not supposed to be used without understanding concepts and reality under the hood.

Example: wanna show 1M POI in browser on some small territory. Openmaps/googlemaps API allows that, no prob. Looks good, yeah? Sorry, doesn't work. Because 1M is too large to show and browser gets stuck.

The API do not prevent _all_ kinds of legshooting engineers invent.
FOS-PHP a Web UI That Looks Like Win9x and Runs Windows Apps
This is a PHP script that I worked on. It's a nice virtual web desktop. It looks and behaves very much like a polished version of the Windows 3.1 program manager. The script also uses Boxedwine wasm build, In order to launch basic Windows applications and games. Wrapping the content in fully draggable "Windows" inside a simulated web desktop. The script is fully expandable and ready to go for anyone who wants to build a similar site.
This is more or less a UI desktop web frontend for Boxedwine. A web Windows emulator. Chances are, If Linux Wine program can run your app. There is a good chance it will also work on FOS-PHP!
Turn-by-turntables: How drivers got from A to B in the early 1900s (2020)

Sure, it'll lead to arms race like you describe on one side, but let's say 99% of the apps won't even engage in that arms race if the fake data is generic enough to cause a high number of false positives (blocking someone who's not actually faking the data).

Then, we can focus on the remaining 1% of worst offenders to actually enforce the policy.
> No, the poster above you directly specified running endurance. That's what we're talking about NOT just running for general health. And not limiting training to a couple of hours per week.

Fair enough. I interpreted that differently, but maybe you are right and we were just talking about different goals/contexts.

It's the same here. "Saved" in this context, for me, means "saved from immediate" collapse.

What they (and TFA) are saying is that there is no transactional view of the FS. If you could work in “repeatable read” (only and always see the state of the FS before you started the transaction) symlink races wouldn’t be possible.
A list and an index creates the possibility that the index is out of bounds, and then your code probably has to check for that scenario and figure out how to handle it.

With a zipper such a scenario isn’t possible.
> Can we somehow effectively, assuredly, in a way that citizens can trust, limit the surveillance activities to legitimate national security and lifesaving actions?

Unlikely, every system of checks and balances requires someone to set up and enforce those checks and balances so that person can then circumvent them.

I mean, the context here is the impact on the German economy. If they can't buy tanks, they buy something else. As long as the money goes into German companies then the original claim that this would hurt German's economy is just not true.

Okay, if the government actually cannot spent the money (even partially) at all, then yeah, the original claim would be true. I don't think this would be the case though.

You can’t reasonably predict a specific future price-at-time of a volatile commodity (that’s the whole point of excluding its transient excursions).

Dev 2008, Feb 2016, spring 2020 were all times with retracements back near the 2001 levels (adjusted for currency devaluation/inflation).

I expect we’ll see them again in my lifetime, but you can’t reliably predict exactly when. (If you could, you could retire quite quickly via commodity speculation.)

I don't know.

I think since 2010 so many shared experiences coming from the internet that it actually became rare to learn new stuff from conversations.

That's a huge pet peeve of mine. All my guitar playing friends watch the same fucking videos on Youtube, so they just repeat what the people say on the videos and there's no opinion anymore. Everyone watches Tom Scott videos and whenever I mention "Autotune" they go "They actually use Melodyne because someone on a Tom Scott video said Autotune is just an effect and every non-T-Pain vocal is Melodyne". Autotune can actually just auto tune, very happy for my Bavarian buddies for their success, but sometimes Autotune is just Autotune. I must have heard this about 10 times already.

On Hacker News there's always those little memes... XKCD 927 (Jesus I wish it would die), Betteridge law of headlines, Gell-Mann Amnesia. It's the same things over and over.

Even conspiracy theories have become homogenised, and now there's no new crazy cuckoo theory coming out of nowhere anymore that you can laugh about with your friends.

Before that the only shared experiences were things like the Friends last episode or news, or sports, or things like that, and that was MORE than enough.

It's great that the new generations are learning that people can know about different things and share experiences orally rather than via a screen.

Sorry for the rant.
Economically speaking, increasing prices on a scarce resource (travel lanes) where demand exceeds supply totally makes sense. Helps get the road users to pay more of their fair share, too (rather than taking it out of all of our income taxes equally).
Exactly. We focus on the wrong thing, the design of the car, instead of actual effective policy: allow people to get around without being exposed to car traffic. And when there is car traffic, greatly reducing the possibility for interaction.

However, this is quite difficult when nearly all planning in the US puts its top priority as maximum traffic capacity and speed.

If there's a dangerous intersection that needs to be fixed, but that fix reduces car speeds, traffic engineers will demand that they need to see a certain amount of death or injury before they will act. They won't phrase it that way, buts it's equivalent. As long as the intersection fits the numbers that are in a book somewhere it's A-OK until the book has been proven wrong, which it is again and again, as shown in our traffic deaths.
You also need to make sure the process has the tool to improve in the metric it's measured, otherwise it's just going to be generating churn

Yes, that dogma is wrong and outdated. What matters is a full-functioning healthy body, not preconceived notions such as that.
Maybe we need better theory of rationality (I assume there is something like that). The author says "understanding objectives is important" - since objectives can drastically differ, so would the definition of "rationality" differ. So we might still have a "rational actor", only our assumptions about rationality might be wrong.
