Sorry you got called a liar. I ended up being called a liar too, after my own experience.

I got SIRVA and lost effective use of my right arm. It's only slowly gotten better through rehab.

I basically tell no one about it anymore. I learned from both sides of the ONLY acceptable conversational dichotomy (vaccine for, or vaccine against?) that they will either use my condition as a) support for their opinion that everybody who is crazy thinks vaccines are a conspiracy, just go get the shot or b) support for their opinion that vaccines are bad for you.

(Is SIRVA pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine? Is that even an important question?)

I sent people BMJ links, I got a Youtube comment section to rally in my support after a prominent Youtuber tried to "cool story bro" me. But none of that really helped; it was just a frustrating situation. Meanwhile I couldn't move my hand from keyboard over to the mouse without excruciating pain, for months...

People can't tolerate little details and nuances, seriously. Nothing personal but that's a massive weak side for us humans.
Hah. Not at all! If it sounds like that, I've misrepresented myself - I agree with you here, and the Strait is the perfect place to do it, using something like this: https://www.orkney.com/news/orbital-grid
Thank you for your thoughts. This makes a lot of sense.

Getting traction, i.e. getting people to use this, is hard. Because 90% of the market already uses a subscription to one of the two big players. That’s why I was hoping to maybe monetize the technology itself. To somebody who already has customers it would be worth a lot more than to somebody who has none.

I think I don’t want to spend the time and energy to make this into a production environment.

A lowball offer, combined with the chance of my work having an impact, actually looks pretty good in comparison to the most likely alternative. Which is that I’ll just drop the project and move on.
>low emission

Looked into this a while back, and this isn't really true[1]. Worst case (6m lifespan) emissions from scooters are twice as bad as a passenger car per passenger-kilometer, and best case comparable to a tram (assuming 2y lifetime). Lifetime was the determining factor. Has anything happened in the last couple of years to increase the average life span of these scooters, to change this scenario? Unless average lifetime is 2 years or more, emissions are nowhere near "low".

Just library-driven-development.

I used the paos library (https://github.com/xapix-io/paos). Mainly followed the quick start examples on the github page. Fetched the wsdl from the API provider, pulled out the SOAP envelope which translates into a Clojure map. The API provider has a bunch of soap services that each provide a large number of keys in the envelope but many keys in many services aren't capable of actually doing anything server-side. This was . . . documented poorly.

We have dev and test environments for this specific API provider so I hacked around and made calls until I had everything working.

This is a perfect example of the kind of one-off stuff I often use Clojure for. Quick prototypes to get work done. There are many groups in my larger organization and a common experience for me is to have groups tell you "X can't be done because Y." In this case, a vendor was charging 5 figure fees per data migration effort for each planned migration. The plan was to roll out by group and there are many groups. My immediate question was "can't we do this with the API and save these fees?" The answer was "no, not possible." About three days later I had a working version for this admittedly simple use case, demo'd it, rolled it into production. The cost savings will be in the low six figures. Of course, once it was working the original internal group came back to re-implement the project in another language because "bus factor" but tbh there is lots of weirdness in my larger employer organization about who gets to do what. Once I had shown we could do it relatively easily, teams come out of the woodwork to grab it so that they can add the cost savings to their yearly brag results.

I could write for days about this type of thing . . .
Definitely the space is crowded. But there are wide spectrum of maturity of engineering teams and how much they monitor.

I think the features we have today are the baseline for any monitoring solution. But the idea is to expand and build a single platform to monitor anything that developers would like to monitor.

I'm also upset at Niklaus Wirth because how he sensationalized Dijkstra's article "A Case Against the Goto Statement" by taking the liberty to change its title to "Goto Statement Considered Harmful", causing a lifelong disproportionate stigma against goto and relevant programming constructs like switch/case, break, continue, etc. Dijkstra had never intended to take such a purist stance against Goto. I also mention this in my book Street Coder.
there's history of big business actively promoting that, such as plastic recycling campaigns pushed by big oil. i think it was mark fisher who wrote about capitalism managing its own critique within itself rather than try to defend its own crap as ideal - that it keeps the debate framed away from them or real (revolutionary) solutions, and where you can even now point at your neighbor as one of the climate criminals instead of joining with that neighbor against the real enemy

with the level of organization and resources big business have, meaning years-long organized campaigning and learning what strategies work, it's hard to see how common people who dip in and out of political engagement have a hope against that

You're right about the network effect.
Surely you realise that the original point works equally well with any of the three given examples?

If the recidivism rate is 20% regardless of if the punishment is harsh or not, I don't see why the conclusion should be that the harshness is supremely important. The harsh punishment does not better than the lenient ones!

Likewise: with the rate is 70% and 20%, but the punishments are equally hard in both places, why on earth is the conclusion that clearly the punishment is universally effective at keeping the rate of recidivism low?

What the original posted was arguing is that harsh punishment is not an effective way of reforming criminals, as measured by the recidivism. The example merely needs to illustrate that recidivism and harshness don't go together.

What shakow did was simply adding another example proving this point, and then acting like they'd provided a contradiction.
Someone told me you should always be looking for another job. Job-switching increases your salary -- and in this economy, programmers are in high demand, so it's never been easier.

Your other option is to speak up and say "I don't want to do this" -- maybe to your new manager's own superior. (You could try working it out directly with your manager first -- maybe arriving with a group of other employees who share your feelings.) That may just get you pegged as troublemakers, but the other option is waiting until some later date, and then saying "I have an offer from another company, and unless you let me stop doing these things I will leave."

It does have video RAM, at least sort of. There's about 20 registers on the graphics chip that control the display of the playfield bits and sprite objects. They hold the values persistently until rewritten, so in a way that is functioning as video RAM, just not as a bitmap, and it holds a one-dimensional scanline rather than a two-dimensional frame.

Another way of looking at it is that the video "RAM" is actually the phosphor on the display screen, persisting each scanline when written until refreshed on the next frame.
As an adult I've discovered the joys of RPN for calculators. I use free42/plus42 on my phone which is an opensource simulator of the HP42. My kids havent started using calculators yet, but I'm debating whether it's a good idea to teach them RPN. I think it's a better way of using calculators, but don't want them to get confused in class. Add to that there isn't a simple RPN calculator that I know of.
Something like 22% of Mahattanites and almost half of all Brooklynites live in a household with a car. Sometimes people will say something like, "see, this proves that people don't want a car when they don't need one." But this seems exactly backwards to me. Given the truly staggering cost and difficulty of car ownership in New York, what this says to me is that people really like owning cars, even in places where they aren't necessary. Even in those places, basically everybody who feels rich enough to own one still buys one. Those are very high rates of car ownership in those places, given the costs and availability of good alternatives.

The lesson here is that you can create environments with enough constraints on ownership where people will mostly choose not to own a car (if they aren't simply priced out), but what you cannot do is create a place where most people don't want one.

Even in NYC, a car is an incredibly useful tool. People aren't stupid. They know that. So they like owning them.
> The sad reality is that most people NEED cars

That was a choice, though. We (especially in North America) have decided collectively to build infrastructure in such a way that most people will have strong reasons to use cars, as a result most people want cars. We did not have to do that, or at least there was no compelling reason to do it to the degree that we have.
Yep.

I live close to a tube station.

If I'm going somewhere on the network (~50% of journeys) it's great. Primarily because of traffic congestion, mind - in the early morning travel time is about the same by both methods.

If I'm going anywhere else? Car hands down.

The main problem is that the entire network of places is available by car by definition. Worst case is car and then the rest by foot (e.g. into a national park).

By contrast public transport just doesn't serve the majority of places at all. Every train station has a road, not every road has a train station.
Correct. Getting the bigger one is probably one of the worst decisions I’ve made in setting up my shop but at the time Festool wasn’t expecting any more to come out of their factories for at least a quarter. It’s more expensive than the 300 pound bandsaw and more awkward to use in most cases than the smaller domino. It was great retail therapy in the first year of the pandemic though.

You’ll know it if you need the larger domino, like if you’re selling a few heirloom quality beds a week for four or five figure sums, and then the expense will most likely be an afterthought.
Yeah, it’s (language) integrated with a convenient HTML syntax… just like all the HTML templating languages.

(language) could be JavaScript as far back as 2000 as far as I know (ASP) — probably earlier and I just hadn’t heard of it.
It depends. In most places in the US, bas transit shares the same road space as cars. If almost all bus users switched to cars, not only would driving be slower, but riding the bus would also be made slower as well. So driving would still end up faster than taking the bus.
I've also been lead to believe that silicon wafers of appropriate purity are enormously expensive as well, so packing more transistors per unit was important for the economics there. Nevertheless, you're correct that cost pressures will probably lead to other ways of finding efficiencies. Still, it feels like the fun part of those curves are behind us these days.

I rooted two rather old kindles and it worked via USB and without any soldering. So maybe if you want to do this, it’s easier to go for a slightly newer model and do it without opening it up?
It looks A LOT like a piece of spacex dragon capsule's jetisoned trunk that was intended to fall into the sea between Australia and New Zealand. This debris was found just a short way earlier on its trajectory so seems clear to me that spacex was aiming for a controlled reentry and it went in just a little bit early. This likely due to fluctuations in the upper atmosphere but spacex should have left larger margins for error.

You seem to imagine that heat waves are not now normal.
I took a train for the first time in a while yesterday (normally I ride everywhere where feasible, though still end up driving more often than I'd like), and was struck by how peaceful and relaxing it was. I honestly didn't care how slow it might be - I had a book, and took pleasure in just watching the world scroll past. If all PT journeys could be like that one suspects they'd be a lot more popular. But service interruptions, poorly connected routes, infrequent services and random overcrowding are the main reality most PT users in many cities around the world have to deal with every day. I don't blame many for preferring to pay eye-watering petrol prices to sit in gridlock instead.

Last I checked, one cannot write any such silliness during clone, so it would require documentation or something out of band to fix it on every junior developer's workstation, and thus doesn't help as much as if there was a `git config --global commit.allowSubsubmodle false` or whatever

> Or you could put a script at .git/hooks/pre-push.sample in the parent repo (untested) that verifies if all commits in submodules are in the respective upstreams

(a) those scripts are most certainly not called .sample (b) it was fast enough to set up a local test case and (as expected) each repo (outer and "inner" submodule) carry their own git hook setups and `echo "exit 1" > .git/hooks/pre-commit` does stop top level commits but does nothing for the inner repos
The part that concerns ('alarm' implies surprise) me is the confirmation that activist wikipedians have levers and knobs to play with that impact court decisions.

I feel safer on my electric scooter than my (non-assist) bike, because I can accelerate quickly enough that cars don't zoom around me. It also solves the theft problem for me, because I can take it with me inside instead of locking it up.

I agree that dockless scooters were always a stretch. I hope if they go away, they'll have been a gateway drug for private ownership of e-scooters.
Ok, I misunderstood the thread a bit and was only commenting on the marker issue. I do thing that a type-level marker is "simpler" in a more general sense than checking whether a struct has a particular field, even if that field takes up no space in the struct.

Now, related to ZSTs, I think the main reason why C++ doesn't have this is that C++ really doesn't have any good support for constant values. Sure, you can mark something `const` but that rarely means too much - specifically, it can never add any new semantics to a type, it only removes some options.

One consequence of this is your example - a `const vector<T>` can't be a simple counter of how many T are in the vector even if the T type has a single possible value: the language can't really use the fact that the array is `const` to change its layout.

An even worse consequence is that a `const vector<int> * const` (a const pointer to a const vector of T) is not covariant (it can't be initialized with a const pointer to a const vector of a subtype of T), even though it should be: the language just won't use the fact that it is `const` in this way.
France generates over 70% of it's power from nuclear energy. At it's peak it was over 80%, with the remainder fulfilled by preexisting hydroelectricity.
> It would be hypocritical for me to say that it’s foolish to want to prove yourself, because feeling like you are qualified and worthy deeply influences how you do what you do [...]

Something I've been working on in myself is being happy with where I am and not always trying to prove myself to others. I used to be in a place where so much of what I did at work was an attempt to prove how smart and clever I was to others. (Don't get me wrong, I love solving problems on their own, but I also wanted others to see how capable I was.)

It would bring me down when others didn't see the clever things that I came up with, or if I wasn't rewarded for the smart solutions. Ultimately, I started to realize that my "worthiness" shouldn't be determined based on what others believe. It sounds like the author isn't quite there themselves. Being "qualified" or "worthy" is a nebulous goal and always shifting as you become more successful. You'll never reach it and if you're relying on others to feel worthwhile, you'll constantly be disappointed. I think this is ultimately something you learn with age and experience.

I was reading a book recently that put things in a way that made sense to me. What it said was that you ultimately have to take stock of your own values, those things that are important to you, and just work on those things. The external success (or praise) in your work is secondary and something you just don't have full control over. All you really have control in your life is the actions you take and how closely aligned they are to your own values. So, live your life virtuously by living in accord with your values and that should be the ultimate arbiter of success, and not whether you've "proven" yourself in the eyes of other people. It's easier said than done, of course, because praise feels so good.
Web scraping is legal, US appeals court reaffirms (April 2022) [1]:

> Using a “gate-up, gate-down” analogy, the Supreme Court said that when a computer or website’s gates are up — and therefore information is publicly accessible — no authorization is required.

> The Ninth Circuit, in referencing the Supreme Court’s “gate-up, gate-down” analogy, ruled that “the concept of ‘without authorization’ does not apply to public websites.”

They're hardly low emissions once you consider the full lifecycle as North Carolina State University did[0] (units from article converted to less insane CO2-eq g/passenger-km.. or maybe it should be oz/mi?):

257 Personal car
25 Personal electric bike
5 Personal bike
126 Shared scooter
118 Shared dock-less bike
51 Bus /w high ridership

The shared scooters/bikes have lots of CO2 from lifetime, redistribution, and charging (scooters). Somewhat counter-intuitively, a popular bus has less than half the CO2 belching impact of a shared scooter.

You introduced the word "hate" to the conversation.

Yes, racism can exist without hatred. We can view an ancient dead civilization through a racist lens without hating the people we study. But, so what?

This thread started from a specific example - segregated swimming pools.
I don't know why you've written so much on this thread without actually discussing the issue.

We know whites were angry about desegregating swimming pools, and committed violence in order to preserve their belief in a segregated society protecting the legal and social status of whites over blacks.

That's not simply saying "there was hate", but giving a reason for the belief (white supremacy) an explanation of the anger (increasing desegregation overturned the status people regarded as their birthright), and a way out of it (showing beloved Mr. Rogers share a wading pool with his black friend, Officer Clemmons).

That's a chance to correct it, through Mr. Rogers' deliberate anti-racist efforts.

You earlier wrote "My prior comments discussed zero acts of violence", which rather highlights that your comments are completely decoupled from how Mr. Rogers was responding to widespread acts of violence when blacks tried to swim in what had been white-only swimming areas. That's the context everyone else is addressing.

So don't be surprised when people are irritated by your irrelevant hypotheticals.
I think it's hard for people in general to think differently and admit to themselves what they really want to do.

I had a friend who decided: they didn't want to work at all. They moved someplace cheap, worked the bare minimum to survive, and then enjoyed having free time. Travelling, exploring the world... That is an option.

I hear stories about people who take an off year and work at an Amazon warehouse or a local fast food joint. Maybe they become a local tour guide, welcoming people to their town. Getting a low-paying position doing meaningful social work. Starting a side hustle selling old comic books or a certain kind of antique or artwork that they have a special expertise in.

If you're having trouble getting to this kind of "outside the box" thinking, maybe a good place to start would be...talking to people. The book "What Color is Your Parachute" got a lot of good publicity for it's basic insight that "information interviewing" is a great way to explore fields you're interested in. But the other take-away from that is there are a lot of things in the world that we just have not heard about yet -- ways to make money, ways to spend time. And you'll never know they exist until you do some research -- some talking to people.
Or you're idolising your own childhood, like everyone else does?

My point is that under a patriarchy, or any system of rule, people still have the ability to make choices. It's just that most/all of those are set up so that the only logical choice to make will benefit and reinforce the system of rule.

So "X is not in the ruling class and X made a choice to improve their life" does _not_ suggest that a system of rule is not in place.
