The 'make them free' is to compete with the also-free walking.

Then you charge for upgrades, like going faster than walking pace or further than most people would be happy to walk (about 10 minutes in my experience).

> Many people like walking.

People say this... But when there is a convenience store 1 minute away and another one 10 minutes away, most people go to the one 1 minute away, indicating they don't actually like walking just for walkings sake. Even if they did, they probably prefer to 'go for a walk with a friend in a park' independantly to the 'walk to the convenience store to buy some milk'.

I've walked a fair bit in both cities, and that just doesn't match my experience at all.

Additionally, when people talk about how walkabout NYC is, I suspect they only really mean a relatively small part of the metro area.

Ah, I'm surprised Slack doesn't support Ruby, but to be fair they are pretty tight on official support with only Python, Node and Java.

Fortunately there's https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-ruby-client, but it's not official. Although it seems to be a good example of a community driven library coming together. I haven't used it personally (I never interfaced with Slack in a Ruby app) but at a glance it looks like it has really good docs, a decent amount of contributors, well maintained, etc.. If I were building some Rails app that used Slack I'd likely reach for this and not feel bad about it.

Kind of a bummer on the other 2 tho. Thankfully I wouldn't be building too many apps using those tools, but I get the point you're making. In the grand scheme of things I think this also shows how much more popular Python is than Ruby.

It's likely to be somewhere in the order of 20% (that's the figure for over 65s for Europe as a whole).
Excess deaths is definitely a better measure than those attributed to Covid - e.g. it was reported in Australia deaths were recorded as due to covid in any case that a hospital patient tested +ve even if the immediate cause of death was unrelated - i.e. they almost certainly would have died anyway regardless of Covid.
An Amish farm not too far from me (and not too far from Elizabethtown College, where TFA is from) has a solar panel on the barn roof. Noticed it while driving past about a month ago.

I don't know what sect the family belongs to, but a couple months ago I drove past on a Sunday morning and saw over twenty buggies parked in the pasture, nary a car in sight, so I'm confident they're at least not in a car-owning group.

Because that's not the type of application for which a non-deterministic GC is suited. The vast majority of applications don't need that determinism. Right tool for the job.

I visited the Vasa museum in late 2019 and it was stunning. Not just how well it had been preserved but how few people died in it.

They noted that one of the biggest contributors to its preservation was simply the location: since it had barely left the harbor, it was shielded from most storms and buried in mud in relatively shallow water.

Even better, when it sank, the Vasa was still just a few hundred feet from shore so only a few dozen people died instead of the hundreds onboard.
Right. The popularity of e-bikes is partially just regulatory. An e-bike can go 2-3 times faster than a Bird scooter, but it looks like a bicycle so it is legal to ride more places.

Hello everyone.

Even though I want to share, especially in environments such as twitter, I do not share because it may sound too technical. In addition, although there are people I want to follow, especially from HN and GitHub, we do not have much information about who is doing what.

That's why I created this site. It took me about 3 months.

I tried to make the design as similar to HN as possible. "Zima Blue" was the inspiration for its color and logo :)

Waiting for your feedback. Thank you.
The Mediterranean sea is, to me, the most beautiful place on earth. Be it mainland Spain (with, sadly, way too many concrete all along the coast), France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, ... It's just beautiful. Then the islands: Corsica, Sicily, Ibiza, Formentera, ... It's heaven on earth.

I drive my kid to school on the french riviera, along the coast and among the vineyards every day.

Famous poets and painters would go and settle there.

It requires a very special kind of a sad fuck to want to destroy that.
I've replaced it with purelymail.com (not affiliated) - and I'm happy with that. Been with the service for about 4 months now. Yes, there is occasional spam, but fine with that.

They offer calendar as well, works fine but I am not using it. Running my own self-hosted instance of NextCloud and using that for cal and contacts.

I do not use any online/web office suite.
The issue with that is waiting 2-3 days for the initial funds transfer to go through, maybe more if it’s a banking holiday. We live in a world where you can get 2 day delivery of most goods. The fact that it takes 2-3 days to even initiate a bank transfer using the old method is just silly
If you're using alloc/free in your GC, which is what was being implied, then that counts as GC time.
Less traffic on the road just means that others who previously didn't will take to the roads because there is less traffic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

It is unlikely that there is a 1:1 relationship between number of people that take a scooter instead of car and the actual measured reduction on the road. In fact, I'd bet it is negligible.
A few years back, I talked to an engineering manager at one of the scooter companies and he said that their longest lived scooter at the time was 11 months old. I can't remember what the average was at the time, but it was shockingly low. Something like 3 months. No idea what it is now.

In Seattle non-single occupancy vehicle transportation is encouraged by the government. The bus system is good (relative to the United States as a whole). The city controls sprawl by refusing to extend I think water or sewer outside a line drawn in the 90s. Even with this official backing, they have maxed out the proportion of alternative commuters at 50%. This is similar to Stanford University's experience of alternative commuters reaching a maximum of 50%.
At the very least, Lime and Scoot now require a picture of the properly parked scooter upon ride end. I wouldn't be surprised if the other apps are the same.
It's certainly ideological cherry picking.

Tesla Model X. Never spent as much on anything before. But the auto opening doors, the falcon wings, the whisper quiet movement, the rapid acceleration, and the autopilot on highways give me joy every single time.
This has just reminded me that as a kid I used to nag my parents to visit car dealerships and collect car brochures. My parents were too risk averse to buy anything like a Citroen, but they were clearly the most forward thinking company. I remember the Citroen XM being the most futuristic car I'd ever read about, but now the cheapest hatchback has far more advanced technology!
Beast Academy. The books, not just the practice website. Most kids love stories and characters and corny jokes and detailed Waldo-esque cartoons and cultural references. For some, that makes the “productive struggle” of learning problem solving more palatable. My elementary school kid thinks a lot about whether he wants to be like Grogg, Winnie, Alex, or Lizzie in the future.

The 1st and 2nd grade books may be too hard for many kids to read on their own (math has big words and long sentences - even curricular materials like EurekaMath seem to be written above grade level for K-2) so it becomes family reading time as well.

It is difficult to answer to that question, and I do not know your specific case, your psychological make-up, your memories, your history and the way you see yourself. However, although I do not know you, I have already listed some possible, if not likely, explanations.

Giving up something at which one is obviously good, for which one is recognized, and which could be the core, or if not the core, a substantial part of one's identity, is challenging. One would have to create another identity, be comfortable saying "I'm not working" when others might think there is something fishy going on, whispering to each other "I don't know what's the matter with her, she doesn't seem to work."

Not getting money when there is money to be had is seen as a serious sin in certain societies in which sweat, pain, and labor are seen as virtuous and relaxing, and doing something for the sake of doing it is the occupation of the lazy and of those with noble origins.

My solution has been to have no external identity, in the sense that what I am is what I can do, but not what I do. For some people I am a sportsperson, for others an aspiring writer, for another group a software engineer. To myself, I am just myself.

No - but if we could aim to make commuting by PT a similarly relaxing and comfortable experience then slowness mightn't be seen as such a bad thing.
Are you assuming that 78% of non-car owners living in New York want a car? Given they don't have one, there is oodles of financing available, wouldn't it be more logical to conclude that the majority not only do not own cars, but do not want them? Perhaps that 22%, a good chunk of them might hate their cars but for whatever reason keep them (travel outside of the city for work, perhaps previously owned and the economics are better to keep them, etc..)

I think one could draw an opposite conclusion from those same numbers.
The future belongs to those who multiply.

The QFT is the Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm [1] expressed as a tensor network [2].

Cooley-Tukey has two main steps that are repeated recursively: bulk replacing a,b with a+b,a-b along bit boundaries, and applying twiddle factors. The bit-boundary a,b->a+b,a-b part becomes a Hadamard gate and the bit twiddling becomes a set of phase gates. Also there's some re-ordering but that's not the meat.

The actual quantum circuit: [4].

The quantum circuit is simple enough that it's a really solid mnemonic for remembering Cooley-Tukey, if you know how to translate it. There are also various ways to optimize the gate count or gate depth of this circuit, and these optimizations translate into changes to the classical FFT (though they are not always optimizations after translation) [5].

This is not nitpicking. The OP was implying they were using alloc/free in their GC. Those calls can be doing all sorts of book keeping behind the scenes, including cascading destructor calls which could free a chain of objects the size of live memory. Suffice it to say, that would pause.
I guess you have the transit map, and all the schedules, memorized? Because for most people, getting to an unfamiliar location at a specific time by public transit alone is quite a project. And then if you "meander half a mile", does the bus change its route to come get you?

Welcome the take on tiny fast libraries. I do like that it is react ish in terms of its api.

Svelte is a bit too far into the world of custom syntax and special compiler magic.

Solid.js is great as it is compatible with jsx tools.

The future is definitely libraries that keep fine grained track of state and how it’s bound to the view, and then efficiently reconcile.

React is great and I’ve used it in prod for multiple years, but it does get slow at times due to too much CPU spent running vdom diff on large trees.

Not really true. At the time, there was lots of software for the Apple II. There was no spreadsheet software because VisiCalc was one of the first to be released. Most software was created by 3rd parties. “A software” didn’t need to be approved by a centralized store controlled by Apple.
A car is social status and a car is freedom.

The same car is not a liability to the extent it should be, considering it's reducing our life expectancy through emissions and tire and road wear particulates, it's burning our planet through inefficient resource usage and it's literally killing people.

People should be able to do whatever they need without a car, within reasonable time frames and reliably (taking 3 buses for 2 hours for a 15 minute car ride is not reasonable) and in parallel to that cars should be taxed like in Norway, they should be a luxury item. Any time you need a car you should first think: do I really? Can I rent one? Etc.

Lack of generics will do that, unless you consider that blindly casting `void ` all over the place counts as "well-encapsulated". Even with macro-soup designing a good agnostic dictionary implementation for C is rather challenging. Linked lists are okay* if you use something like the kernel's list.h, but even then it's macro-heavy and has its pitfalls.

In my work as an embedded developer I still use C a lot and it's probably the programming language I know best and have the most experience with but it would never cross my mind to write a PDF interpreter in it unless I had a tremendous reason to do so. There are so many better choices these days.

Traffic is absolutely not orthogonal to the vehicle itself. Almost everything wrong with cars as a mode of transportation can be boiled down to: they take up too much space for the number of people they transport.
Not really weird, DNS-level blocking is quite common (also easy to bypass, sure)
> Isn't it also for the safety of pedestrians?

The pedestrians were there first though, and it's not clear how to balance the needs. After all we do have the concept of isolated car travel for safety, it's called a freeway. Much like a rail system, they are useful and pretty safe for point-to-point travel mostly outside densely populate areas.

The contentious bit is that all other surface level infrastructure should be primarily shaped to fit the needs of cars at the expense of everything else. For a not-so-practical example, if city traffic was strictly limited to 10mph or less, vehicle pedestrian interactions would be much more safe...
One thing I remember thinking was neat when I visited friends at FB (Meta) HQ in Menlo Park was they had fb.com/shitty (or something like that) which simulated terrible connections. They even had little stations with crappy and yellowed with age compaq CRT monitors and really old hardware, old Nokia phones etc.

I thought that was pretty cool, don't know if that's something they still do though (this would have been back in 2013 or so).

The ones that come to mind first are little comment threads here and there where I've been the Extraterrestrial (profile). A few times others have joined in with me to provide context and they've also been ET's with me, in that way. Kinda funny. When I notice that others end up being Extraterrestrials I definitely feel them. It's a weird vibe.

The topics in question are often relevant to working in tech. I know because I've been the training person for various tech organizations. I did my best to bring in information and topics that are fresh and new.

So I get the feeling that a lot of workplace training is not being done out there. A lot of tech people are doing their work by using their tech skills, going home to rest, repeat. And that's all they have time to do, maybe. But that's a workplace problem, too. It's a problem for leadership and for the future of any corporation.

Traditional logic, creativity, and tech skills are only valuable to a point. Beyond that point they will get individuals stuck in subjective loops and estrange them from new capabilities in problem solving. When I mention this, people tend to think, "ah, this person is talking about (people|team|emotional|life) skills!" But in fact this applies to many tech problems and involves techniques that can be studied and applied personally.

Anyway. Just the first type of interaction that comes to mind.

Based no how they mostly seem to be used in Berlin, scooters are predominantly a joyride thing for teenage to 20-something boys, doubling as status signaling given their relatively high costs (for this demographic)

As a middle-aged dude, I find them quite awkward to navigate and much prefer a car, and I have literally never seen an older person use them. Are people commuting with those? I guess it happens occassionally, but the predominant use case, at least in Germany, seems just-for-fun cruising. Probably not a powerful or frequent enough thing to justify lofty valuations, and given the externalities (cluttering sidewalks, or folks having to fish them out of lakes and rivers) probably a net negative for society, too.

Wouldn't like to see them banned out of principle, but I assume it'd make sense for cities to ask providers for some upfront deposit in case the provider can't ensure proper clean up etc...
Food safety laws can be a tough thing to enforce for entry level products like the "pink sauce." There doesn't seem to be standard way to start food-from-home product until this law. Most food ventures normally would have to have a restaurant location that would then pass food safety checks, but this law, normalizes the process of a food-from-home business, taking the food safety checks to the home for approval.
