This doesn’t refute the central point: those are needs-driven destinations, not random choices for a pleasure cruise.
The article mentions that 9-1-1 calls can be made without a SIM card, and the phone will attach to the strongest network, regardless of the phone’s home network.

Out of curiosity, is the same thing true if the phone is in Airplane mode? Or would attempting to make an emergency call instruct the phone to attach to its home network?
OP, is this just a clever way to see what ideas are the most popular and then build something accordingly? It would be interesting to see if there are any common themes.
Thanks.

Completely agree with your feedback on git being the config source for scripts.
I enjoy riding e-bikes, for the record. Going fast on an e-bike is like having happiness on tap. I think more people should own them so that we can collectively start to realize a different way of organizing transportation and commute.

Regarding safety, when it is a bike vs a car, I agree that having more speed is better and safer for the cyclist.

But the issue is when we have a bike vs a pedestrian. I've been a pedestrian next to groups of fast moving e-bikes. It can be pretty scary. Some cyclists can feel entitled to riding on the sidewalk, which at high speeds can really injure someone if they were to crash. E-bikes also weigh a lot more than a non-ebike (up to 120lb in some cases) so getting hit at top speed is a bigger deal than a normal bike.

My overall point is that I think cyclists need to start behaving more like vehicles, rather than fast-moving pedestrians. Obviously we need more investment in biking infrastructure for that to happen, but with how fun and useful e-bikes are, I am optimistic that will eventually happen. As e-bikes become more common, I expect this to become a bigger part of the conversation.

> [The reasoning behind] Modula-2's full upper-case reserved word syntax [is] to make language constructs consistent and stand out more

I suspect it’s just inherited from ALGOL 68, where you were allowed to use names that coincide with language keywords at the cost of using one of a number of “stropping” conventions[1] to distinguish one from the other: surround each keyword with apostrophes (whence the term) or precede it with a period (if you’re using a single-case character set), type keywords in uppercase (if you’re not), or typeset them in bold (if you’re writing a paper—recall the original ALGOL problem statement was “like pseudocode from our papers but executable”).

> to make language constructs consistent and stand out more

That sort of thing also makes parsing easier from the compiler side; you can look at the string token and know without context whether or not it's a keyword.

I was in a similar situation after finishing my Master's in Math, switching my focus from Finance to Data Science/Software Engineering and looking for my first job in tech. Although I could code and had done some small projects on my own, my knowledge of most topics in IT was very limited.

I remember I used to attend all kinds of tech meetups and feel like I don't belong, like I'd missed out something in my education compared to people with CS backgrounds. I identified especially these areas I was lacking in most: Web Development, Networking, Security, Operating Systems, Hardware, Databases

I found short courses (mostly on YouTube) on each of these topics to understand the basics. Later most of them kept appearing in my tasks at work and I dove deeper in them.

As it turned out over time, I hadn't missed out that much and now with 4 years of experience, working as SDE at Amazon I feel more knowledgeable than a majority of people with CS backgrounds.
I'm quite infatuated with this project. There's a rich history of beloved RPG Maker 2000/2003 games and I'm glad people are putting in the effort to preserve them. Actually, people are still making them to this day!

IIRC: There's a similar project for XP as well

Ps. I think a lot of people are getting the wrong idea. An editor IS in progress but it isn't ready yet and most of the focus is currently on compatibility.
Seattle has mediocre transit. The buses are fine, but they’re inherently limited in how fast their average speeds can be.

Seattle could greatly increase transit usage by:

- expanding the subway/light rail network.

- provide more than two commuter rail lines (right now you can only commute by rail North-South, from Lakewood to Everett).

- run more than 4 daily trains to/from Everett (at least one per hour for 16 hours is needed for consistent commutes).

- electrify the Sounder corridor to improve acceleration. I suspect the tracks are shared with freight, in which case create dedicated electrified passenger tracks so you can have smaller trains that run more often and at higher speeds.

- through run trains so they don’t have to dwell at a Seattle terminus (which means you could run all 16 of the daily Lakewood trains to Everett as well).

- add 2-4 more Seattle city stops so people getting off the train are closer to where they need to be (this should be done in combination with through running the trains, so the sum of the dwell times at all 5 Seattle stations is no more than the total dwell time at the terminus now).
A fountain pen. Platinum preppys can be had for 5 bucks, one can spend more, but doesn't need to. It's such a fun hobby.
It does take longer for most destinations, but not for my work commute. The traffic between work and home is quite bad, so public transport is equally fast, or faster.
sometimes? depends on how close to the train the stops are and if the bqe is involved/randomly backed up (which it appears to be right now). right this minute i'm seeing comparable drive times to the g train for north brooklyn to carroll gardens.

i think what you say is definitely true as you move further out from the urban core (within the outer boroughs).

Also scooters/bikes don't create any noise or soot pollution. I live on a very busy street on the 5th floor and I hate the noise when my windows are open (but I love having my windows open in general) - the noise is unbearable even after midnight, and after a couple days everything is covered in a fine layer of particles (dust, soot and whatever else is in the air). I didn't have any of these problems whenever I lived on a quiet street. Thankfully I'm moving soon to a quieter area again.

Sounds like we are in agreement. Twitter may have done something wrong.

Hopefully all of the skeletons come out of the closet. On both sides.
You have pq(original number) and (p-1)(q-1). You could get (p + q) = pq+1-(p-1)(q-1). Then we know p and q satisfies x^2-(p+q)x+pq=0. You could solve this quadratic equation using quadratic formula to get p and q.

It is, though these 2 boards are the closest in terms of specifications "on paper" as they both offer a single 1GHz core, 512MB of RAM (unless you go for the 1GB MQ Pro) etc. Comparing it to the RPi Zero 2 felt a bit pointless in a standalone head-to-head piece. There'll be a separate post in a few weeks comparing all of the "zero" style boards from the various vendors that may give you what you're looking for!
I don’t think you actually believe that the bottom of the ocean is a good place to keep nuclear waste.

I totally agree with you about our society’s mistreatment of people who have paid their debts, but I’m not sure I like what Amazon is doing here. It smacks of using people: treating them like props in order to secure private gain.
"Disinformation" that uses the exact phrasing from the Amazon document?
Huh?

Current mortgage rates are the highest they have been since the 08/09 financial crisis.

At current rates, I would guess the FED has a sizable paper loss on their MBS holdings. Not that it matters tho.
Just because they use the term "cultural" on Anotonio Gramsci's page doesn't make him part of "continuing academic and intellectual efforts to subvert Western culture". Can you substantiate that claim, or is that just made up?

declarative templates are by no means a ridiculous abstraction. graphics programming, like GLSL shaders dont have to worry about what "was" to represent what "is", they simply rerender the entire scene because it's fast. you cannot do this with .innerHTML because it's slow, loses input state (form inputs, focused elements), resets dom text selection, breaks transitions / animations, undo history, video playback, layout cache, etc.

whatever method you choose to solve this in a uniform, non ad-hoc manner will be your invented version of existing vdom or dom template frameworks, which save you from this madness. i use direct DOM only for writing high per libraries and when there is a need to optimize beyond what is provided by the framework.

i would like to see an open source, large web app written by a dozen+ engineers that manages without any ui layer abstraction and only uses vanillajs + discipline (jQuery+structure style!); in my experience this "utopia" is mostly a pipe dream, and rarely well justified.
Fun fact about cash payments in Germany - they're all reported to the government in real time. There used to be fiscalization rules that meant Point of Sale devices had to store 5 years worth of transaction data for auditing, but recently theyve moved to just having the POS report everything directly over the Internet. Lots of countries do the same sort of thing.

Weather and terrain. Amsterdam is fortunate in being flat, and in having a fairly moderate climate where it's rarely extremely hot or cold. That situation doesn't obtain in most large North American cities. Sure it's possible to ride a bike up a steep hill in Philadelphia in the middle of an ice storm or across Phoenix in a 40 °C heat wave, but it's simply unrealistic to expect most people to do so. We ought to do more to improve bicycling infrastructure in most cities but that will never fix our fundamental transportation issues.
Yes, and we can really stick it to the collectivists by spending ~$10-15,000/year per vehicle on the initial purchase of the car, and the associated costs of insurance, gas, maintenance, parking, and car-dedicated infrastructure.
i'd consider going a step further and making the web ui completely optional for configuration after the billing is set up. i know that sounds extreme, but personally that is something i would really, really like. maybe a small cli tool that gives me a template config file that i can then edit and and then run again manually or via ci to apply my changes.

that may be extreme and reflective of my personal preferences, so grains of salt are warranted. :)
Meh, since everything on your phone is digital, loosing it and restoring everything including your digital wallet is a few taps away after buying a new phone.

Meanwhile when you loose your physical wallet, it takes day or weeks, plus trips and legal paperwork to issue new cards, IDs, driver's license, etc. It's a complete nightmare.

That kind of ethos used to exist at Google circa 2004 and was the way the majority of engineer and the few product manager behaved.

Very few of these folks are left and are a very tiny minority.

Most folks at Google these days don't give a rat's ass about that kind of thinking nor about the company itself, they're just here for the GSUs and the free food.

Maybe build quality of the assembly, but definitely not the build quality of anything mechanical! Modern cars have ludicrously better reliability than anything from the 60's to 80's. A car not making it to 100k miles is a rare exception these days, even with somewhat abusive upkeep.
They were the first to $15, literally leading a nationwide wage increase for low skill labor, and now they pay closer to $18 by me. For people trying to hate Amazon at any cost, the goalposts keep shifting. If Amazon announced $20 minimum tomorrow, there is no doubt in my mind that people would still be griping.

And even when people concede that Amazon pays industry leading wages, it's "whatabout" the urine bottles as if the heavily unionized UPS drivers don't also do this.

The Rust documentation recommends "curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh" unless you're on Windows. The Go website tells you to download a tar.gz and extract it into your path. To me, that signals that you're not supposed to use your package manager to install the tooling (or face the incompatibility wrath if you try to do so anyway).

In comparison, both Meson and Ninja refer you to your package manager as a way to install them.
Ten or so years ago, being a Citroen enthusiast since I was a kid, but never got around to owning one, I came across a Citroen farm in New Hampshire—about a hundred miles from where I was at the time, in Massachusetts.

He ended up convincing me to refrain from purchasing the D50 I had my eye on—it was selling for less than three grand at the time, not in mint condition, but with a weathered patina that suited its faded buttery canary yellow just right. The Northeast, he said, given its often extreme weather conditions in winter, uses too much salt to weather driving conditions. I had to be prepared to replacing its chassis in just a couple of years thenceforth, were I to expose it to Boston’s driving conditions.

I wanted that little car to be my every-day commuter here in Boston, it would not have proven feasible to garage it over the winter, so I had to let it go.

In retrospect, having driven in Boston all these years after the fact, not ending up that little car proved a prudentchoice. Cudos to the gentleman Citroen farmer for his sage advice.

Does anyone remember early cable modems allowing viewing other computers? What allowed that to happen?

I didn't know enough about networking at the time, but I recall seeing this at friends houses in maybe the late 90's. You could go into "Networking" in Windows, and see basically all the PCs on the street/neighborhood. I assume this was with the PC directly connected (no router) and maybe using WINS, but I'd be curious if there's more details behind why this could even happen. Did this also mean you'd be able to sniff other people's network traffic?

I don't recall ever seeing the branding "Turbo Modula-2", but I'd been a Turbo Pascal fan (even owned Turbo Pascal original 8-inch floppy for generic MS-DOS, and used it on an 3.x MHz 8086/8088 that had no PC BIOS), and used Modula-2 in school.

I recall there were multiple Modula-2 implementations for the PC at the time. The one I used didn't have as much PC-specific access as Turbo Pascal (at the time, I had my own libraries for video RAM direct writes, mouse, etc., and GUI I'd built atop that).

And the Modula-2 language felt a bit clunkier to use, since I was favoring terseness on 80x25-character screens at the time.

Where Modula-2 and pedagogy around interface vs. implementation in team software engineering class paid off, for me, was that I became a professional C programmer right after, and some of those practices enforced by Modula-2 were a useful perspective to bring to cross-platform Unix .c and .h files at the time.
