I am also a car-hater in SF and live here specifically because it's one of the 4-5 cities in the US where you can not own a car without it being an immense inconvenience/making yourself into a pariah.

Most people want cars sure, but not the drawbacks. Many people would like to listen to loud music or practice target shooting outside their home, but if everybody did that it'd make for really shitty city living.

I think a lot of people in the US simply don't realize or consciously acknowledge how inconvenient car-centrism is, so they only think of the personal convenience their car gives them, rather than how inconvenient things become when everybody uses cars (ie the conveniences cars afford are in many cases only because we've developed around cars). Most people probably hate not being able to walk a few hundred feet to the store to get some milk, or don't realize how nice it would be (because in a lot of the US it's such a bizarrely foreign concept) to have that as an option. They probably hate that the only way to get to work is to commute during rush hour with tons of traffic, or that their friend in the same urban area is actually 80 miles away, or that everything is covered in asphalt and the air sucks.
EVs help renewable adoption, cleaning the grid as well as cleaning the city air.

They're literally batteries on wheels.
There is a very significant difference between a dense city with a highway through the center of it, and a city that never had a dense center to begin with. Many places that people live in the US only exist because of cars. Without cars, they'd cease to exist.

There are not many cities in Europe that are predated by the ubiquity of cars.
The valuable part is abstract math, thinking in symbols, not counting 2+3. A good old way to teach is to invoke a surprise, as it grabs attention, and then explain. So you'll need easy problems, but with surprising solutions. One that comes to my mind is the old story where a simple man asked a king a simple favor: put one grain on the first square of a chessboard, put twice that much on the next square, twice more on the next square and so on until the board is filled. A categorically different understanding of math happens when you learn what a proof is, but I'm not sure how to make this problem interesting.
The Pi Zero uses the same SoC as the original 2012 Raspberry Pi, and it was already long in the tooth even then so that's not really surprising.
Drop everything beyond N years...
They do actually require that you work, yes.

There are plenty of lower paid jobs for those only interested in being a chair filler.

But the pay is quite good for the required skillset.
How would you propose to significantly reduce car usage in 15 years? I've never seen a realistic plan for that which accounts for politics, funding, and the time required to build large infrastructure projects. Just pointing out that we ought to do it doesn't get us anywhere.
> There is really no need to get rid of all powered individual transport. That is basically an ideological position, not a scientific one.

Nah. I used to hope that moving propulsion to the electric grid would allow us to use renewables to drive transport and so do it all for almost nothing. And I also thought that it was vital to sell a solution, to come up with replacements that people would not just accept but actively choose. And that these could lead to a sustainable world.

But it's not true. It's wishful thinking, the dreamer's position, it's the ideological one. The scientific position is that none of this is remotely enough, for reasons like those discussed in the article above. Cars will be got rid of, one way or another - we don't have the resources to sustain them except at the cost of, well, us. The question is just whether we can find a way to sell that idea to ourselves and reorganise ourselves before it happens for us.

As I said, it's dreary and it feels extreme and I don't like it, but I don't see what alternative there is. The brilliant and engaging ideas just don't add up.
The odds of ending up like Dr. Dre or Jay-Z are worse than the lottery and require even more significant time and monetary commitment. You’re better off going with your latter suggestion of trying to make a decent living which has pretty good odds.
I'd say this is a classic example though - what is "aforementioned" doing here that "back to" doesn't already? If you digressed so far that "The point about automation..." doesn't ring any bells why do you think the a-word will do the trick? (I think "back to" is fine as it acknowledges the context switch)
I think the main problem is that Nicolas was like a practical PL researcher and don't think he believe was the guy to build a actual practical PL.

So, more like "take inspiration from me, and see how simplicity can be done".
How about less cars, more efficient use of energy, cleaner power production, moving towards better standards of technology?

We don’t need to regress to solve the climate emergency. That’s attacking the problem from the wrong side and alienating people.
I appreciate the links and sources, I’m not sure what OP’s problem is. I have a feeling they prefer opinion pieces, instead of insights into reported news.
Maybe, but Phoenix is not every city in the country and it’s possible to make a lot of improvements even if you’re not perfect. For example, many cities have marginal finances because a large chunk of their resources have been dedicated to suburban commuters who contribute little other than pollution. Reclaiming public space for residents, removing density restrictions, and especially doing quick things like dedicated bus or bike lanes can make a huge improvement in desirability at modest cost.
I’m not sure of that, tit for tat does well as a strategy. Also lawmakers change every so often and usually love to pick over the negatives from their predecessor’s time and do things differently.
Is Bill Clinton not of the party which is being accused of standing to benefit from current situation not being classified as a recession?

Did K8s reinvent VMs though? People keep forgetting that vm!=container and the security posture is completely different. Also, for the amounts of complexity K8s adds it's not worth the overhead in 95% of cases (i get it that it's cool and everyone and their dog want to claim they have experience with it - I am affraid that once the "movement" fizzles out we're going to be stuck with a lot of things that are over-overengineered)

"HostMin" = Prefix.

"HostMax" = Prefix followed by all f's.

"Hosts" = some ungodly large number (i.e. "small" for this is 2^64) you typically don't care about anymore.

If someone did something atypical like use a /123 (mask >64, mask not a multiple of 4) and you do actually want to see host max and host count as a result you can pass "--all-info". Otherwise a combination of the ridiculous size and hex encoding makes everything but "what is the prefix and netmask" irrelevant.

It feels 'off' but I'm not sure this is bad.

Your recruiter probably doesn't mind and of course, people legit looking for jobs don't.

It's literally free advertising.

It's also just another form of 'specific journalism' - bloggers and journalists report on everything that is public.

I suggest what they might want to do is make it clear in the header that 'these are jobs posted on that site' or something like that, and maybe make a bit more clear that if you create company profile that it does this by default and it can be turned off.

Given that it's mostly helping all around, I wouldn't suggest this as a 'dark pattern' so much as 'awkward pattern'.
I.e. because of a bug in economy which makes useless or harmful jobs profitable.
On a positive note, I always visit LinkedIn whenever I suspect internet connectivity issues, because it is (or at least feels like) one of the more cumbersome sites to load, from the top of my mind.

> In the case of disinformation

how do you know if something is disinformation if your government blocks your direct access to the content and suggests that you read local moderated outlets instead? You just blindly delegated your conclusion forming capacity to a third party that decides for yourself.
Yours is a trick answer, because we aren’t - at least not on the same scale nor with the same public outcry.
Next time you're at a union meeting, ask them about any boxes they own at sports stadiums. Ask if you as a paid union member can use the box that you are paying for with your dues.
Yeah it's already legacy hardware, it should be comparing against the Zero 2 if anything, the original Zero was comically underpowered.

But the speed is all but irrelevant, the issue with these alternative boards is always in software support. No point in using them even if they're twice as fast if I can't apt get anything and have to compile shit from source wasting 10 times as much time. Is there even an arch tag for riscv yet like armhf and arm64? I'd assume there is, but I can't find it and the support is likely to be abysmal this early on.
Because it’s easier to make things worse than it is to make them better.
The second most populous state in the US is Texas. How would someone possibly redesign any major metro area in Texas to work without cars? Tear everything down and start over?

It was all built to work around the automobile as primary transport. There's no patch fix.
Leave your data at home with a file server/web server/ftp/whatever.

Cross borders with practically nothing but what you need for the next few days. Download and use whatever data you need from home. Clean your devices before you cross back over the borders.

We shouldn't need to do any of this. But the problem is that you have no recourse at all if anybody takes your device and won't return it. It's not so much what information you're carrying that is the problem, it's the fact that it's such a lot of trouble replacing it.

It's in the same league as losing your wallet with all your credit cards. It's no big deal in itself, but it's just such a hassle until you manage to get everything back to where you were beforehand.

When it comes to devices, they should be cheap to replace and have a good battery life. Think about having light-weight devices that you only use while travelling and not your everyday devices. Ones that you would not mind about if they get lost or stolen.

Don't take too many items. You'll have to carry them everywhere you go. Every ounce/gram adds up.
At first I interpreted that as "I'd pay 0.8 times the amount for her" and I was a bit confused.

Well, that and the world is a pretty terrible place. Think about it for too long and you'll get pretty depressed.
It does? I think mostly it shows that WordPress is a popular blogging platform.

Also note that this was published in 2007, 4 years after WordPress was originally released, which probably makes Scott a bit of an early adopter.
You have to admire how long Broadcom has been manufacturing that chip considering it isn’t an automotive or defense design…
Part of it is that by 1986, CP/M was dead for new development of anything, and Modula-2 was also on fumes.

It would have been business malpractice to spend money on CP/M products at that point.

> That 6 MHz is used to encode MPEG-2 frames containing video, color, and audio information that your cable box or TV decodes into picture and sound. If you graphed a single channel provided by the cable operator, it would look similar to Figure 2-2.

> A DOCSIS channel can be graphed in the same fashion; however, instead of video, color, and audio information inside the MPEG-2 frames, it contains a data stream that represents computer information. Due to the "spectral shaping" of a data signal, there are no video or audio signals present, and the graph looks like Figure 2-3.

this seems wrong. i think figure 2-2 is an analog ntsc video channel and figure 2-3 is a digital mpeg-2 or docsis over mpeg-2 channel. both of the digital channels should have the same spectral envelope.

interesting that they put mpeg-2 headers on the data frames, probably "system" frames and done so for compatibility with existing headend and stb equipment.

Dominos aren’t about strength so much as accuracy. The tool makes it dead easy to align edges with faces near seamlessly and squarely. It’s a helluva improvement on biscuits or dowels.
To be fair, who ever wanted a work-based social media platform? People have accounts because it’s expected as part of the recruiting process. The only people I see posting on there are embarrassing “workfluencers” sharing each other’s content into the void.
> When someone buys a car because it's miserable trying to get 2+ kids to school on public transit, you're not going to talk them into not being miserable!

I saw a case recently where a woman crashed her car outside her child’s school in London, injuring some children. All very sad and especially compounded by the school only accepting enrolments within 1km of the school due to demand.

1km! And she still drove to pick up the kids!
I think you could do a lot with quick-build bus and bike lanes, and some combination of pollution taxes and market-pricing for parking & high-demand roads/bridges. A lot of people will take a bus - it’s so much cheaper & less stressful - but only if service is reliable so I’d focus on how you could remove delays there, and many things like bus priority lanes or enforcement can be implemented quickly at modest cost.

The big question is politics: even in cities where many people use transit, the political class favors cars.
> It appears that LinkedIn is automatically importing job postings from other places on LinkedIn and other sites such as angel.co if the company name of the job posting matches your company name on LinkedIn.

'tech twitter' is full of junior developers, developer advocates, and students, all trying to sell e-books to each other or virtue signal their way into a dev advocate role. I only found content creator and tech influencer sales pitches.
I'm sure people would still be griping, but nothing is static. The cost of everything keeps increasing and honestly, depending on where you live even at 20 dollars an hour it will be hard to make ends meet.

There will always be a struggle between labor and employer where each will seek to maximize their share, it's the system we have set up. I really don't think people should be faulted for pushing for more when it's literally a companies goal to pay people as little as is functionally possible.

Amazon is the target because they are the largest. If you increase the wage Amazon pays, you increase the wage their competitors pay.
I usually pay credit and tip cash because I expect more of it to make it to the servers and kitchen staff and less to the owner/none to CC companies.
:-) I will definitely spike it asap and make it as simple as possible to setup and run via a git repo.
Isn’t NY one of the best subway systems in the US? I’m not saying it’s good but it’s certainly better than most other US cities meaning it’s close to the best transit vs driving comparison in the US.
Agreed. Python defaulting to magic bigints is nice when you're in a math domain, but terrible when in a computer domain. The stdlib really needs some nice simple u32(), i64() etc. constructors.
I can guarantee you this is not the case
May I ask: How do the Cisco AP perform in comparison to other companies products?
Is Cisco really up to date when it comes to wireless?

I just set up a "last gen" 2702i and I am still in the process of tuning it to perform as good as my modem/router/ap combi device I used before, and my experience is not really pleasant, but I could imagine that at large scale deployments there is still nothing better then Cisco and a lot of the features/setting that seem unintuitive are necessary in such cases. But yes in my case I had to go to (autonomous) firmware from 2018 to be able to use the GUI, because every newer autonomous firmware breaks the GUI, the newer ones (the newest is just some months old) all have a major bug where you can't save the changes you made and get an 404 error...
Well we are simply going to have to disagree on that on and then I will be quite happy to move elsewhere if the place I live isn’t willing to take my concerns as a sufficient priority.
Or just don't route all traffic through your WG tunnel. Change allowed ip from 0.0.0.0/24 to the local ranges you want to reach fx 10.6.0.0/24
Just because warehouse owners have the leverage to make it impossible to demand more doesn't make it any less humiliating.
No, renewables are not an alternative to fossil fuels. That’s why natural gas and coal fire plants are still being cranked out today.
The memo doesn't seem to suggest hiring the formerly incarcerated, it only mentions creating partnerships with organizations that work for the formerly incarcerated.

It doesn't say what that partnership would entail, but something like donating to an outreach program for the formerly incarcerated doesn't deserve tax breaks.

Most of this stuff - like using "literally" as an intensifier or "disinterested" as a synonym for uninterested I'll just wave past. Language changes (or changes back in the case of "disinterested") and fighting it isn't really going to achieve anything except frustration.

This one bugs me just because it's so pointless. It seems to come from people trying to adopt a sort of intellectual voice with (in my opinion) rather the opposite effect.

Regardless of my personal dislike for it I think you can assume that the typical reader won't think twice about it though so keep it or jettison it as you personally choose.
It also doesn't really handle anything that doesn't run on the JVM.

> Third, we must mandate better building design through legislation.

After a decent explanation of how inequalities rears its head, you've missed very likely outcome here — these new, better buildings will be snapped up by the same privileged population, and the people currently suffering will not be any better off than before. The legislation shouldn't be limited to just building design, because the people creating these new buildings have no incentive to make it for poorer sections of the population.

Nope, compilers couldn't care less - it's much faster to hash keywords into the symbol table and just do a single lookup.

The upper case is all about human readability. I suspect ALGOL's heavy reliance on named keywords (unlike C's more extensive use of symbols) relates to the inconsistencies of character sets etc at the time of the ALGOL's definition.

IMvhO, Turbo Pascal (and Turbo Modula-2) would have been much nicer with a C-like (or Rust-like) syntax.

Disclaimer: I worked professionally in Turbo Pascal for a few years.
Not sure what we'd achieve by going back to less efficient technology. Miles per gallon almost doubled since 1980, so we'd need to get rid of 50% of cars just to break even on that front and the same is true for lots of things.
If you didn't prepare it yourself, why are you eating it?
This is true in a minority of cases.

Like delivery works as their are a small number starting locations and no one cares about the max travel time.

Or transporting people between a small number of hub locations and not caring that much about how long it takes.

But public transit that transports every address to every other address is almost infinitely less efficient than just giving everyone a car.
You will not empty the dam. You need 100 years to move water level 500m up, then you will use the current flow of the Elbe but raised 500m up. That gives you the power increase.

"They've caused havoc on their own genes" - genes don't work like that.

Here's one thing some people in this thread need to understand. Nature doesn't care. Nature doesn't judge you if you don't have kids. Your genes being slightly less prevalent down the timeline isn't a punishment.

There's no high score table at the end of time saying "This is how good your genes did".

Even the idea that they are "yours" is pretty incoherent.

If stuff like who gets most kids worries you, you seriously need to look elsewhere for meaning in your lives. That's one thing you could learn from the Amish.
How can an AI be racist? It doesn't have a concept of what is wrong or good. It's just a model of things that a lot of people say. So the problem is not that the AI is racist, but the data that was feed into it; and that's a problem.

Correct. The article mentions that EV use 2.5 times the amount of copper though. It also mentions how it's more than just what's in the car - that more copper infrastructure is required to power them. Lastly, it also mentions how using aluminium as a substitute just moves the goal posts, bc more bauxite need to be mined and smeltered.
