> ensure [...] that the vehicle has been inspected for basic safety and emissions standards

There is a Youtube channel where someone got a Hummer, ripped off the engine, and transformed it into an electric vehicle. When he went for registration (as a custom car) nobody even asked to see it.
Wayland and "an Xorg user experience that's not a disaster" came from roughly the same developers because of the same needs. Generally lots of stuff was moved out of Xorg into places where it fits better, into the Linux kernel (modesetting!), into Mesa, into application frameworks. This development is what made Wayland possible in the first place. By making large parts of Xorg obsolete, you enable a solution that trims out all the old garbage that nobody realistically needs anymore and hence nobody wants to maintain anymore.
Absolutely. Zero setup coding environment with result view as you type.
Those 2CV are very light. My family were passengers in a drive from Santiago to Valparaiso (Chile) in someone's American station-wagon when a 2CV tried to cross in front of us. We hit them and a passenger from that other vehicle got pinned under the top-of-door frame when the 2CV toppled over. My one-armed dad managed to tilt the vehicle off them so they could be pulled out. She didn't seem extremely hurt.
Nothing wrong with proving yourself, introspection or self-improvement. But the best people (in my book anyway) care for others as their #1 priority; so much so that they barely have time to reflect.
You can make an urban design in which the tradeoffs of car ownership tip toward non-ownership, but it is very difficult to make a modern city in which car ownership confers no benefit. Even in a place like NYC, where I've lived, you really cannot beat point-to-point for convenience and speed. That doesn't mean every route in NYC is best served by driving. The subway is great! But there will always be situations in which the easiest thing by far would be to drive point-to-point, if you have access to a car.

Urbanists who tell people there is no benefit to car ownership in dense urban areas are performing a sort of gaslighting. Everybody basically knows that's not true. The argument, instead, is that you can create a city in which the cost/benefit analysis changes. This is subtle, but I think the difference matters. You can adjust how people think of the tradeoffs, but you cannot really make them believe cars aren't still useful in those environments.
Sure we could spend the next few decades building high end housing and watching as the poor continue to get priced out of our cities, ensuring they have longer and longer commutes, more stress, and shorter life expediencies.

Or we as a society can recognize that all people deserve housing, and that the poor are in most dire need of it. We can build specifically affordable housing, which both accomplishes your goal of "build more housing" while also ensuring that vulnerable people get what they need.

I think there is something to the idea of being a society which cares for those in need, instead of ignoring them and letting market needs serve those with the most money first. Serving those in need not only helps the needy, but it helps all of us center what matters most: our humanity.
I seem to be one of the few in the comments that actually likes submodules.

But the description of this use case / requirement sounds complicated / confusing to me ("we use git to mirror a hierarchical database, so using submodules means mirroring another hierarchy inside our hierarchy").

I don't know what your product is but I hope for your sanity a PoC is possible.
I would say, like, you lack empathy.

It isn't a "use case". Don't you see that?

>universally beneficial...

Of course it isn't! The ones that benefit the most are the ones that currently don't have security in part or due to their own government. That could also one day be your government.

Moreover, I certainly never made any statement about changing the world.

Not only that, you have ignored my previous point and deflected from it by assuming some new argument...

ftw!

Sounds like you aren't interested in merits.
I just saw a yellow one today! The way they’re cambered makes them look so cool.
This is a pretty ignorant post written by an anthropologist who visited indigenous cultures but clearly failed to put his prejudice aside.

Sure, some wellness practices are fads. But there are reasons why top performers try to be inspired from ancient practices such as meditation and fasting. It actually works for many people. Anyone go live with a legit shaman and see if their practices are just a way to “appear special.”
The saying needs context. Not everyone can infer the gold rush aspect.
Oh hey, that was the project that was based on the Godot game engine!

It's nice to see more projects out there in the wild built on top of it, tools as well not just games, showing off some of its capabilities.
lol, it shows address classes. If I was in kindergarten when classes became deprecated, I could be a grandfather by now.
Agreed. It's too scrawly. If I'm trying to absorb technical material, trying to decipher someone's handwriting makes it that much harder.
I think it's less the problem of "shareholders" and more "short term shareholders."

If you're holding for 10 or 20 years, you may well be considering things like "If we spend a dollar in R&D today, we get back twenty later", but the guy who's bailing after the next earnings report wants that dollar on today's books. We do a questionable job serving tha long-term investor.

On a long enough term, most of the social-ethical-envrironmental investment strategies that are seen as niche can also be seen as prudent-- are you sacrificing the value of investors in 2050 by keeping a cavalier attitude on climate change today, or paying your contractors so poorly that they'll be unable to buy your future products?

We have the short/long term capital gains tax divide, but there's no reason we couldn't tax short term gains at a much higher rate than conventional income, explicitly to force people to demand long-term corporate perspective.
> KDE on Wayland is currently broken on FreeBSD.

Is for me too on Linux. On both a variety of Intel and Nvidia GPUs. On a variety of distros. And everytime I ask around, I'm told it works for others, so it must be me. Everytime forcing X11 solves all my problems.

To be honest, last time I tried KDE on Wayland was a year ago, so perhaps it works now. Then again, so many years have passed where it turned out it didn't, that I'm not particularly keen to try.
I'd say a language is bad at error handling if it doesn't let you check if a procedure failed or not. What C does it that it compiles even if you ignore this, which is a different issue. Java, Rust, etc. wouldn't compile if you totally ignored it, but you that doesn't mean you have to do proper error handling, beyond satisfying the compiler/type system.
Some people do, some don't.

From the opening paragraph of Edsger W. Dijkstra's letter to the CACM editor:

More recently I discovered why the use of the go to statement has such disastrous effects, and I became convinced that the go to statement should be abolished from all "higher level" programming languages (i.e. everything except, perhaps, plain machine code).

"Harmful" seems to me a perfectly appropriate characterization of the words "disastrous" and "abolished". If anything, it tones them down.

I like his use of convenient. But the concept is quite interesting, barring the practicality of flooding Prague and half the country.
> The idea of having a fast, easy, low emission and cheap way to get around short distances in a city without needing a car or having to bring a bike or similar is awesome.

The solution you're looking for is a bikesharing service. These have become increasingly more common around my parts (in Germany), and thankfully these are not run by some VC-backed startup, but by actual local companies. That's good news because they integrate with existing public transit passes, so everyone with a tram pass can just swipe the tram pass on a bike and start using it with some pretty generous discounts.

I sympathize with this view, but I think many people's biggest contributions to humanity are not through care for others.

Take Donald Knuth, just off the top of my head. I've seen people close to him write glowingly of his personal qualities, but I would argue his contribution to humanity is overwhelmingly through his work, not through caring for others.

If you measure people primarily through care for others, you'll miss out on some pretty remarkable people.
License plates make speed cams possible.

I’ve already stopped relying on Google. It’s too hard to tell the difference between a product they are going to support and a product they aren't. I don't want to have to pull up some financial statements just to understand if google is going to cancel some product I'm interested in within 2 years, I'm going to save my time and just go with somebody else.

I honestly wonder if they might be able to solve the issue with branding.
> This is just a description of traffic patterns in the US, in general. You presumably don’t cruise through random suburbs on the other side of your city on your way to work

That's the normal traffic pattern in many parts of the country. For example, in the DC metro area, 90% of the jobs are outside the city. It's routine to live in one suburb, commute to another suburb, and have a spouse commute to a third suburb.
it's perhaps interesting to speculate in the possibility of a post-evolution (at least at organism level) regime in future, but mLuby said "started" so I think the correction was fine, if a bit at risk of falling into semantics.
'Decentralized' ... 'central server' ???

Also, if the creator is reading here, can you give us a reason for why you decided to keep Blockchains' arguably most controversial aspect - PoW - after removing the blockchain? There are lots of non-PoW cryptocurrencies, surely you could have found another distribution model?

Well, in the US maybe time to eliminate the 1, 5 and maybe 10 cent coins ?

Yes, the 1 cent coins have little copper, but multiple millions are produced per year. The others have a copper core. With current inflation, 1/5/10 cent coins cannot buy anything.

The only reason for the 25 cent coin are vending machines.

Compared to the beetle it's a tent on wheels. The beetle is quite strong for a car designed in those days.
Citroën sold cars in the US till around 1975, when the US introduced regulations that essentially prohibited the hydropneumatic suspension. Citroën even had US spec versions of the DS and the SM for the US market.

I am not sure whether the 2CV was ever sold in the USA, but it has definitely been imported. I think in the US, the limit is 25 years before you can import a foreign car. I've encountered plenty of 2CVs and Méharis in North America.
Did the 2CV have a nickname in other countries? Here in Germany it was called "the duck" ("die Ente"). Oooh, that suspension, great memories :)
Not much copper in those unless you collect pre-1982 pennies. New pennies have such a thin layer of copper plating that separating that would be more trouble than it's worth.

EDIT: Darn, can't delete now. Yes I agree, the penny should be eliminated to save on copper.

In US traffic an accident between your average 60's US built car and a 2CV would amount to a death sentence for the occupants of the 2CV.

Not sure what you mean but Nim allows data cycles.

I just prefer to write cycle free code when I can and turn off the cycle collector. Though Nim’s cycle collector performs well and does some tricks using the RCs.
at least some biases we can avoid. We can scrub the training data from mentioning gender or race. We can not include photos of people, to avoid the attractiveness halo effect.
Where to Ride on the Road
I totally respect that, and Clojure could invest more in offering frameworks or even no-code platforms or such features, but the truth is it doesn't. The language very much targets the people who are interested in not just the functional requirements, but also the non-functional requirements of performance, scale, architectural runway, future extensibility, operations, maintainability, correctness, re-usability, etc. Especially, Clojure targets those who believe a balance between all these and functional requirements is the holy grail. That's why it won't be the most correct, the most performant, the most productive, but a pragmatic balance of all these in almost equal parts.

Maybe it should also embrace the people looking to get a product out by simply using a framework, and I'd say there's more of that in Clojure today than ever before, but the community I think is more composed of the former people that I describe, which is why you don't see any attempted framework take hold in the community, because most current members are not in the group that "just want to build the product using an established framework".

I think the community has settled, ounce again, on a bit of a balanced approach, Kit (https://github.com/kit-clj/kit) and Edge (https://github.com/juxt/edge) are such hybrids. And some more direct viable frameworks have come along like Biff (https://biffweb.com/) and Fulcro (https://fulcro.fulcrologic.com/).

That said, since the community is more composed of people like me, you don't see a mass move of every Clojurian switching to one of those.

So it creates some questions?

1. Is it a problem that the language targets engineers more interested in a balance between non-functional and functional?

2. Should it be mutually exclusive, or can Clojure equally serve both niche? And if so, should it, why?

3. Is the claim that you can be as productive and it is just as easy to build a product without using a framework in Clojure true? Does this apply to everyone, or only certain personalities or people with certain amount of lower level knowledge?

4. Is Clojure's marketing misleading? Are people looking to just "build the product using an established framework" mislead in thinking Clojure will offer them salvation?

5. Where do most developer fall in, if they don't fall in the category Clojure currently targets, then does that mean Clojure cannot become mainstream? To go mainstream does it mean you have to target frameworks because there are more developers looking to just make a product using a framework?

I don't have answers to these, I'm just trying to define the current state and what the problem with it might be, or if it even is a problem.
Oh for sure. I bet `<first name>@<small company>` or `<first.last>@<company>` goes a very long way.

Huh? What has that got to do with whether or not they broke git?
Hi,

First of all, it's never late to party. I can give some insight in my also small experience (just graduated). Anyone is welcome to - and please do - correct me in case you disagree.

I will not include courses from university as references but I will tell you what I did through the years outside of it to enhance my knowledge.

I found a really cheap book titled "Python - Introduction to Computers". Basically it was an intro on the exact core points you mentioned (besides ML) but also gave related python code examples. For instance, "how does a packet travel in a network" here is the theory and here is a code example. It won't be of any use but in case you want to translate the chapters here is the book (https://www.cup.gr/book/isagong-stous-ypologistes-me-ti-glos...). You might also watch some free CS courses from unis online (https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-sc...).

In the mean time I was interested in micro controllers and I was watching YouTube guides on Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Here is one of my favorite channels, very newbie friendly (https://www.youtube.com/c/Dronebotworkshop1). Made some stupid creations, had fun, and learned something.

Raspberry Pi's got me into linux. Hence I installed a linux based OS as my main system and read online guides, watched videos etc. Favorite intro place for me: https://linuxjourney.com

At the time I had a chance to get a free Cert related to networking. For a reference check Cisco CCNA (it wasn't that one but the topics were exactly the same). So I studied on the basics of networking, topologies etc. Again, best intro resources for me were on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PowerCertAnimatedVideos/playlists

For some time I ditched Python since I was into web dev and distributed systems. Studied other languages and web frameworks, other technologies like docker etc. Some courses on Coursera might be enough for you to start web dev in case you got bored of YouTube and needed something more structured.

Now you say "I feel like I am under peer pressure". I feel exactly the same. But don't really think of it. I know with the stuff I did/do I barely scratched the surface. And it is fine. We aren't magically born with knowledge and we all learn in a different pace. My goal is to learn or practice on something new every day. Not in a crazy way, take one or two hours a day for example and read about something you don't know or write a piece of software that does something new.

To sum up that's my small experience in tech so far. I hope I leave you with a good feeling about the future. Can't help you on PC making though, never been into it and my knowledge is limited.
It's arguable whether sway is "simple". Last I remember it clocked in at ~50k lines of C excluding wlroots.

Some X window managers are a few hundred lines.
> It will remain like that until maintaining projects well is at least as good a path to a promotion as creating new projects.

But then there's equally a danger of becoming IBM, which would be worse. (In this case, if Google creates something that people need then pull it, then other open-source people can replicate it).

I think the sane middleground is for them to clearly identify what's experimental, what may be discontinued/deprecated/pulled, and to communicate those expectations and timeframes, in advance. Even Yahoo did this.
We were talking about Nim, which is language I know next to nothing about (but very familiar with C/C++, Swift - which has weak pointers, as well as GC languages like JavaScript/Java/C# etc.)
Amish and Mennonites have an extraordinary prevalence of genetic disease, as do orthodox jewish persons. Due to generations amongst generations of never breeding outside their religious views they've caused havoc on their own genes.
Zoning laws and more importantly NIMBYs. I used to live in a city that's currently being taken to court after they cancelled the construction permits for mixed use buildings because a few very vocal citizens didn't want to live next to 4+ floor buildings and managed to get elected to the city council.
A truly amazing person and a cultural icon. We lost one of the best of us.
true, but with the number of these made each years, they add up. Plus all these do is cost everyone money to handle (banks, shops and even the Gov).
Same here in NL 'de eend'. There's a whole raft of wordplay jokes on that name.

As for the suspension, it's the only car that you can scrape the mirrors with while it's still on all four wheels ;)
A bit of tangent, but it reminds me of a funny story:

I discovered one day that I am getting recommended "Long distance truck driver" jobs through email and some of the re-targeted ads. First, I ignored them, but in a week or two, it became apparent that it was not just a coincidence. After some research, I realized that I had listed "Device Driver" programming as a skill on my LinkedIn and personal website. I suspect it must have been crawled, and the word "Driver" was matched to send me those recommendations.
The point is: C++ libraries compiled for Windows with MSVC are not ABI compatible with C++ libraries compiled for Windows by GCC or clang.
Java is 27 years old though?
I'm guessing Mining.com has a strong pro-mining take on many different topics.
This article links to another which discusses exactly that [1] — some geological event dammed the Mediterranean from the Atlantic 6 million years ago, after which the sea mostly dried out, then subsequently the entire thing refilled in the space of a couple years in the Zanclean Megaflood (at least, there’s mounting evidence that it happened in one cataclysmic event). First the western Mediterranean filled up to Sicily, then the eastern med, via a 1500m (5000ft) high waterfall!

> A tutorial like you have never seen before

Agreed. Most tutorials have a readable font. This one on the other hand appears to teach not a lot except perhaps an intro to linguistic cryptanalysis.
I've heard of measures like that, including for the other direction (i.e., redacting documents without leaking information in the effectively opaque PDF format).

IMHO, having well-engineered tools handle data, and being conservative about the trust/privileges given externally-sourced data is at least complementary to the current "zero trust" thinking among networks and nodes.

(Example: Does your spreadsheet really arbitrary code execution, in an imperfect sandbox, for all your nontechnical users? Should what people might think is a self-contained standalone text document file really phone home, to disclose your activity and location, or have the potential to be remotely memory-holed/disabled, along with attendant added security risks from that added complexity and the additional requirements it puts on host systems/tools to try to enforce that questionable design?)
