In particular less cars means paths that are more suitable to walking in all weather - having a treed foot path instead of a boulevard outside your house makes a big difference in heat exposure to pedestrians and buildings. If you look at old Iberian (especially Portugal) you'll see very aggressive tree placement coupled with narrow alleys to try and keep paths walkable when things get really hot. It's night and day comparing the tight shady paths in Porto to the sun blasted avenues common in Florida - while the temperatures are pretty close the experience is entirely different.
No, distribution cannot be archival because you don't know when someone else will stop distributing. Proof of that is how many torrents have zero seeders and zero leechers, rendering them useless.

I have noticed re: the speaking that they no longer allow space to happen between lines of dialog. For example Char A speaks and B replies in like... what 100 milliseconds? Then back to A then C then B in rapid succession. Enough time to hear, but not enough time to understand with my slow processor.

As a result, I've started watching everything with English subtitles on so I can fully understand what is happening. Not just Trainspotting any longer, but run-of-the-mill Hollywood schlock that should be in my wheelhouse. :-D

People always conveniently forget that time the US invaded the USSR.

And wasn't that Romanian land given to the USSR by Germany in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? So the Nazis were "liberating" land they had already agreed to give to someone else.

These are two minor points. They both, though, serve to show that you're lacking a grounding in the very history you're trying to swat aside.

That scene from Lawrence of Arabia was absolutely magic. Done in a single, unbroken take, David Lean had personally paced off the distance when Sharif began his approach so that he would start out invisible only to slowly approach. I've rerun that scene multiple times and I can't decide just where he actually becomes visible.

The other great scene, which is probably more editing than filming, is near its beginning where Lawrence blows out the match where the film immediately cuts to the sun rising out of the desert sand dune landscape. Just awesome.
Yep, a huge number of our cars are Japanese imports. It means we can get a 5 year old Toyota/Mazda for the equivalent of about $6-7000 USD (or cheaper imported privately), which will run for another 150,000km with little difficulty.

We mostly don't have snow and I don't think any region salts their roads, so rust isn't much of an issue with something that new.

Cambridge, UK

- A solid tech hub so you should have enough opportunities

- Good options for your wife as well to work

- You can also work in London (only 50 minutes by train to King's Cross); I do that

- High quality education for kids

While we don't have kids but from friends who do have, they find Cambridge to be great place to work, live and raise a family. And while you won't get warm winters, they should still be manageable if you look at the other positives.
Does it matter? When the EU adopted GDPR the rest of the tech industry had to follow. If we introduce carbon levies then processes will improve everywhere.

Here’s my suspicion, from having lived in both car-centric suburbs and a dense city:

When you’re driving somewhere, you typically have a destination in mind. You’re often moving too fast to spot smaller businesses that probably don’t have enormous signs, and it’s probably not convenient to just suddenly stop and park your car if you do happen to see something interesting. And everyone already knows about the big chains, but not so much about small businesses, so they’re less likely to be your initial destination.

By contrast, when you’re on foot, you’re moving slowly enough that you can take in anything around you, so you’ll spot small places more easily. And if you do decide to stop in, you’re right there.

(Cycling is somewhere in between, but I’d say closer to walking than driving in these respects.)
My first car was a ‘96 Nissan Altima. By 2004 when I got it, the paint was worn away on the center of the hood and the top. My family got 3 new cars circa 2010, one of which is an Altima, never had this issue again. Perhaps this is explained by what you’re talking about?

Despite cars being on the road for longer than ever, I feel like I’ve seen far fewer “rust buckets” than in my youth
Starlink and remote work is really opening up parts of the country that weren't possible to live in before. The middle of PA is gorgeous and dirt cheap. People moving to rural areas from the city seem to want to be relatively close to it so I say let them drive up your property values and you can live in a mansion on twice the acreage in a few years.

I've thought a lot about this and I think the answer is no. I lived in Paris for almost a decade and my mental health would deteriorate if I didn't make it point to leave the city periodically. Sure, there are many benefits to living in a city...quality of life is not one of them.

Apartment life simply wasn't for me. Being subject to my neighbors noisiness was a huge drain! I understand that being a home owner doesn't automatically shield you from bad neighbors, but it hits much different when they are on top of you. It just felt like a discounted way of living. Having things like a yard (where you can do whatever you want with) are huge quality of life boosters. Having a house on some land I think is ideal. Although that goes against the current narrative. I am very worried about this new push for 'optimizing living spaces'. Where companies are buying up land en masse and constructing condos/apartments. It's not the way to live!

I think being in close quarters to each other goes against our nature. Humans need space. How much? More than you may think.
> The bandwagon fallacy is if just because someone else is doing something does not make it moral.

Right, like the wolves, which was obviously GP's thinly veiled argument: wolves kill, therefore killing is ok. That is bandwagon fallacy.
Geographic time zones are a completely separate matter. Dragging them in just muddies the water.

The topic here is worldwide standard time, literally the same for everybody, and whether a million programs obliged to make tiny adjustments to it on a random, unpredictable schedule was a good idea.

Are you aware of Microsoft's MakeCode? Similar name with a ton of resources put into it (a YouTube channel with full tutorials <https://www.youtube.com/c/MicrosoftMakeCode/videos>, ability to use block-based or text-based editors, a Microsoft-sized budget, etc.)
I respectfully disagree. Brokers are a subset of middlemen. In many industries the role of a broker is well-defined and often regulated. A middleman can be a broker, an agent, a facilitator, price comparison site, wholesaler or any other intermediary mechanism. For organisations which seek to own all aspects of the intermediary space, and with a generally opaque representation of benefit to both suppliers and clients, the use of the term middleman seems more appropriate.

I was thinking of total energy (and maybe something like CO2) per food on the customer's table, including the waste that's produced.
That doesn't work, and it comes from experience. The messiest bit of our code base is the business logic, which out of necessity, is intertwined with I/O logic (we have very tight timing requirements, and we have to query several sources of data over the network) and we only ever add new requirements, never retire old ones (or at least, that's been the case over the past 12 years). Rewriting the code the new requirements touches is pretty much out of the question.

About eight years ago I started a "proof-of-concept" that my manager asked for. I was using Lua for ease of development, and LPEG because it involved a ton of parsing. My intent was to get a handle on what was required and then do it C or C++. I found out a few months after the fact that my "proof-of-concept" was, in fact, in production and running. So much for my quick and dirty prototype. (And in retrospect, it hasn't turned out that bad---the code is way easier to deal with than our business logic in C/C++ because of Lua's coroutines make the event driven code look linear, and it's been fast enough).
One way if could work, if people were willing to put up with side effects (price increases) would be to tie it in to trade. Add import duties to imports that aren’t carbon taxed, take that tax and use it to further incentivize alternate (non carbon emoting inputs).
So you sell your lifetime for tokens to a class of buyers that get those tokens for free.

Well, the future is a distopean's "told you so" generator confirmed.

There were little conversation about the improvement itself. It was pretty spot on (I know, because we built this house). The problem was with their appraisal of the land. There are no comps in the area, and explanation why my lot has 275% multiplier while neighbor's one has 100% was "we assess their lot as a plot, and yours as acreage". My lot is slightly smaller then my neighbors. Two of these lots sit next to each other on the same street... No explanation why it is treated differently.

It's interesting but that isn't actually always the case - a lot of cities use oversized blocks (blocks that are both taller and wider than a row of buildings - see Barcelona[1]) if this is the case then large department stores can expand into the courtyard or gardenspace interior of the block and, of course, in a lot of European cities a lot of malls are built vertically and underground - sometimes lying underneath a road with entrances on both sides.

Large stores can work in walkable cities and they do have a place - but they are usually for relatively rare needs (so more likely to be focused on clothes or specialty groceries).

I think there are steps that could help reduce the affects of heat. Things such as more street trees, less asphalt (reduce the heat island effect), heat reflecting building roofs, etc.

> It seems a shame to add capacity and not users

... I think they will be doing both. They currently have ~2500 sats in the ~53° constellation. The V2 system that has been approved and is targeting similar latitudes has 3 times the sats, and each sat is claimed to support 9 times the bandwidth of the current ones. So if they need to triple bandwidth per user, they can still increase subscriber count 9-fold and meet it.
Hi, all. Thanks for your responses. I'll reply to some of them individually, but I'll address some common themes here.

First, some extra information that I had forgotten to include earlier:

- I don't consume weed daily. Just once a week. (Granted, a lot of it.) Also, I don't smoke it, I use edibles.

- I am medicated for ADHD and anxiety. I currently take Ritalin and Zoloft.

- I do not go out of my way to irresponsibly combine these medications with anything (e.g. I don't grind it up and snort it). It's possible that having this combination in my body has worked against me in ways that went over my head.

- I don't drink or smoke.

- I am currently in a PIP at work. The PIP finishes at the end of this week, so it's entirely possible I'll be canned anyway. (Not that I'll take it lying down, but that's a separate Ask HN.)

- I'm single.

- I don't live alone. I live with my parents and brother. I've shown my parents this thread, and their advice is largely consistent with what we've read here.

- My current job is the first I've had since grad school (I finished with a Master's in computer science in December of 2018).

- Since graduation I've been working on my game full-time, at least until I started my current job.

- I have been eating more lately. I could stand to drop 15 pounds or so.

Now, here's what I'm gonna do in the near future:

- Abstain from marijuana, at least for the month of August. What I do after then will depend on how my mood changes.

- Coincidentally, this Thursday I'm seeing my doctor about adjusting my prescription. I might even switch to something else. (This was planned even before my thread this morning.)

- My employer's health benefits include a subscription to Talkspace, so I'll give that a try.

- I'm going to exercise more. I bought Ring Fit Adventure a few weeks ago, but now I'll integrate it into my morning routine more stringently. I've already got a week-long streak.

I'm still open to other ideas, though.

Separating my creative output (not necessarily from my day job) from my sense of self-worth will probably be necessary as well, although I don't have a plan for actually doing so.
Most references will state the opposite, that in general ADHD meds, used for people who actually do have an imbalance, do not tend toward desensitization over time. I'd find a doc you trust to get that answer.
The WWII generation is all but gone, though a friend has a 95yo grandmother still alive from the era. Was also shown a lot on TV in the 80s for GenX and older, but no longer.

The saddest art is that which is undiscussed, for it has inspired nothing, evoked nothing, changed nothing, _created_ nothing.
Clubhouse was broken right from the beginning. The alleged value was in the cringe-inducing attempt to emulate an exclusive, elitist social club, but to sell that to the masses with a startup-style model, which was contradictory in and of itself. Startup companies function by scaling up and that's literally the only thing your secret society cannot do.

Overall though good riddance because that entire idea is antithetical to what digital tech can do. I remember that Elon talk where people 'did not fit in a room', and they broadcasted it to other instances. Literally like an overflowing conference room in a virtual space that has no need for these limitations if you weren't trying to desperately sell access.
None of those are, in fact, any kind of solution. Most are strictly worse than status quo.

The purpose here is for things to get better, not worse.
Would love for someone to correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't this similar to how we look at nightvision or other heat seeking camera images? We falsely color them so that the temperature ranges are visible in the image, but it's not something that our human eyes perceive.
It is pretty neat how those plants can grow inside of those white containers. I wouldn't have thought the sun could get through it.
> Why is it not enough to have a Wiki page listing all the tools they're expected to know/learn, with guides to resources to learn from?

It's not enough for the same reason that we have classes and teachers in schools rather than just lists of textbooks.

But I agree with you that some things are more and others less valuable to teach interactively rather than through "book" study.
Getting it to the point where it would assemble itself was pretty much the goal of the whole exercise. Hand assembly with Leventhal's book (which I still have :) ) to get it to work, usually one subroutine at the time. And then once it work things got much quicker, the bigger problem then was a proper editor.

https://www.amazon.nl/Assembly-Language-Programming-Lance-Le...

Memory management was a tricky part and macro expansion only got done after the whole thing worked (that would have saved a lot of time but I couldn't see the wood for the trees at that point).

The nasty part was that instructions were variable length so you could get into these weird errors where your initial guess for a jump target was too small, which would then move everything else as well, which might lead to other jumps becoming too small. I don't have the code any more but I think I fixed that by making all the jumps long jumps initially. A bit wasteful but that way I could at least get it to work in one pass. Later on when I got better at assembly that sort of thing got fixed.

The end product was endless 'data' statements that were poked into memory at 48K and up, right over the basic interpreter, which we had figured out a way to page out and replace from software. This later led to an annotated version of the basic that came with that computer (a version of MS Basic) and subsequently a replacement interpreter with a lot of built in goodies (double speed tape interface, a whole raft of new statements and functions). Good times!

Shout out to my friend Henri G. who did at least half of that work, we had identical home computers (Dragon 32) and worked together a lot on this. He probably still has his in working order :)
Holy shit thanks for the nostalgia blast... I totally forgot about MS-DOS debug.exe!
What is going on with the Pixel series 6 line?? There have been numerous problems starting all the way with the phone call problem back in December. Google then promised to fix it by late January!! A whole month of not being able to make phone calls. I knew back then that it was time to switch to iphone and have been satisfied ever since.
Instead of leap hours we could just permanently abandon leap anything, and state that the offset between UTC and TAI is fixed at 27 seconds from now on, forever. Every few thousand years, when this new UTC has drifted enough from solar time on the prime meridian for people to start noticing and caring, countries can decide to simply change their offset from UTC, which will just be a normal update in the time zone database that doesn’t need to be coordinated with anyone else, i.e. something that already happens quite regularly.

This is all quite hypothetical as it’s hard to predict whether anything like our current technological civilization will exist thousands of years from now, but even if it does, a simple mechanism exists to avoid problems (just have each jurisdiction change their local time when they decide they want to).

I can’t see any downsides for literally anyone from this proposal, other than the insignificant downside to the British that they will lose the prestige of being the place that global standard time is based on.
PDF history is pretty amazing, actually. The fact that PDF survived over so many decades is something worth reflecting upon :)

> reliable intelligence that indicates that the IRA Army Council directs both PIRA and Sinn Fein strategy

Again, I _think_ I'm aware of most of the relevant evidence and to me it indicates that some former high ranking IRA members still are involved in the party leadership, but nowhere near the extent that they could be said to "control" the party

> Would you at least agree that choosing an alternative party without these connections and connotations would be a better gesture from the Nationalist community to Unionists?

Yeah I see your point. But, let's face it, neither community has been all that good with gestures. I could go on about speeches made by the founding member of the DUP, but, you know what, that shit is in the past, I'd rather just move on.

> Sinn Fein - Ourselves Alone.

Ouch... That's not the literal meaning... Not easy to explain. Irish is a tricky bitch of a language, best just leave it out.
I have a minor nitpick to share. I’d like it if there was an option to hide the timer, because being under time pressure to solve a puzzle can stress me out. Overall, it’s a fun puzzle, though!
It probably also really honed your ability to simulate a CPU in your head. That's invaluable when looking at code, to build up a mental model of what it really does (rather than what the comments say it does).
I believe it is far more convenient as there are now many more direct flights and they’re much cheaper after adjusting for inflation.
Since it seems to have rear wheel steering, if each wheel can turn independently and enough, then the car could be rotated in place.
> (Or, being multi-planetary by then, maybe we'll consider it a quaint relic of our origin.)

It’s more likely that every planet will have its own calendar and you’d have to do the conversions and translations. That’s what scientists do with Mars time. Thanks to relativity, time at point A is not the same as time at point B, and whether they stay in sync for you depends on how you get from A to B.
I assume finance and control systems to start. I might be helpful to have a fallback time-ordering algorithm not dependent upon one monotonic clock, but then you might have a rarely-used fallback to have bugs in, I imagine.
I was in a similar position in my late 20s. I moved to Mexico on a random opportunity, ended up on a beach in Oaxaca, met so many people and was so happy that I realized that’s what I needed. Only moved away recently because I met a new girlfriend. Take a chance. You already work remotely. Go do something real. Playing vidya games will never get you there.
