Because Acrobat will open these files, there is considerable pressure for Ghostscript to do so as well, though we do try to at least flag warnings to the user when something is found to be incorrect, giving the user a chance to intervene.

Anyone who has done PDF composition for a "print ready" job (what a lie) from a client has run into this so many times. All we have to do is rearrange the pages in the right sorted order, add some barcodes, and print, right? Acrobat can open the file, so why is your printer crashing? Ironically, some of those printers used an Adobe RIP in the toolchain and this conversion PDF->PS on the printer was where things went wrong (I once tracked down a crash where a font's gylph name definition in the dict was OK in PDF but invalid syntax in PS, due to a // resolving into an immediately evaluated name that doesn't exist) but it's not something a technician could help with.

It was so bad that Ghostscript was one of many tools - we'd throw a PDF through various toolchains to hope one of them saved it in a format that was well behaved. Anyway I'm almost sad I've moved on from that job now so I can't try it out with some real world files. But in the end most of the issues came down to fonts and people using workflows that involve generating single document PDFs and merging them, resulting in things like 1000 subset fonts which are nearly identical and consuming all the printer memory, so I'm not sure how well this would help.
There is this idea that nuclear is not being deployed because people have a wrong perception of risks.

However, the main reason is the economy. The costs of solar, wind and batteries are dropping exponentially but the costs of nuclear are not improving. We can blame regulation and the hypothetically wrong public perception about safety, but the reality is that costs cannot go down easily because of the innovation dynamics:

1. It takes several years to build a nuclear reactor. Hence, innovations take a decade to reach the market. Learning curve has to be slow.

2. A nuclear reactor cannot be shipped, it has to be build on site. This makes manufacturing automation, economies of scale and competition hard. In other words: you cannot have factories in China, or elsewhere, shipping cheap nuclear reactors all over the planet.

A change in regulation might lower the costs, but it's not going to improve much the innovation dynamics.

In conclusion, all this talking is mostly irrelevant: nuclear reactors are simply not going to be built because they are not competitive. And things are getting worse by the day because the alternatives have a better innovation cycle.

Why the term "open source" is important
I'd agree, and I'd say that RISC-V's rise has much to do with this sentiment.

An open source patent/trade-agreement unencumbered architecture is of great interest to many countries for precisely the reason that they can build it locally yet harvest innovation from across the pond (without paying a foreign company).
If the cities had the wherewithal to give the RVs a place to go, they'd already have the state of mind to have prevented so many people being forced to live out of RVs in the first place.

You're trading one convenience for a world of hurt if you use Kubernetes with Windows. Just take a casual glance at the "Windows containers" issues list on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Containers/issues

Some of the very recently closed issues were jaw-dropping, such as totally broken networking in common scenarios.

DNS resolution is very different in Windows compared to Linux, making much of the "neatness" of Kubernetes pod-to-pod communication not work.

There is no maximum memory limit in Windows kernel "job objects" (equivalent to cgroups), so one memory leak in one pod can kill an entire node or cluster. This is very hard to solve, and I've seen it take out Service Fabric clusters also.

Etc, etc...

The only reason it's easy to decode (as in, by a casual, not requiring information theoretic techniques or something like file(1)), is because almost all popular character encodings have went far out of their way to map the first 128 bytes to ASCII. This idea that text is the common medium / lowest common denominator is a misconception and why UN*X is buggy and half working. Just because it appears easy to read in common tools doesn't mean you have a correct semantic understanding of it.

I don’t think public transit riders should be forced to pay the full price of their habit. Nor do I think cities shouldn’t charge taxes and spend the revenue on both roads and yes even curb side parking.

My issue is the incredibly broad statements about the political situation in Australia. Variations of this became commonplace during COVID lockdowns (which the overwhelming majority of Australians supported) and always seems to come up in relation to firearm regulation discussion. Australia has many many many problems, but to say it is not a liberal democracy is just false.
I'm torn on this.

On one hand it's simple enough to be effective under not-too-unreasonable assumptions regarding your stack of dependencies, i.e. that they are unlikely to reflect super-mature but rarely updated libraries, or super-immature ones which are "fresh" but littered with unresolved bugs.

On the other hand, what happens when they do?

E.g it might have been better to check bugs closed per year per project, and report bugyears instead?
You could use the same type of logic to argue that voting is meaningless. And indeed investment is also a form of voting. One individual usually changes very little(except in this case one individual could make a tremendous difference depending on their net worth), but that's not necessarily a justification for doing nothing. Look up Kant for relevant philosophy.

Relatively low amounts of wind and sun, high seasonality. Some of your closely neighboring countries are in a similar position.

You can get a feel for this at my favorite simulation site, https://model.energy/

Poland does have lots of salt under it, which bodes well for hydrogen storage in solution-mined caverns.

Because of Poland's unfortunate renewable position, it's understandable that nuclear is still strongly considered there. But that's not really going to help Poland compete globally against countries with better resources. If solar can provide power for $0.013/kWh in UAE, it's tough for Poland's heavy industries to compete with that with more expensive nuclear.

A standing passenger can fall and get seriously injured just from hard braking.

I can point to Muni of the early 2000s. Their then-new trams experienced frequent emergency brake applications in the tunnel because reasons. It got so bad that the braking computer was changed to reduce the rate of deceleration during emergency braking. People were getting hurt, twisted ankles and whatnot. I can't remember anyone dying inside one of the trams. Ever.

>You pay less in taxes than it costs to maintain the roads — the U.S. average is about half.

I don't think so. Quick search shows that states and localities spend $200B per year on roads, the US alone tax revenue from just individual taxes is roughly ~40% of 4T i.e. $1.6T. What sources do you use to support your claim?

>Public space is reserved for driving — legal categories like jaywalking were created to remove other users from those spaces — and land owners are required to dedicate substantial amounts of space for parking, most of which is either not charged to users at all or at far below market rates (this is famously a cause of congestion as people drive around longer looking for street parking since it's so much cheaper).

I don't think you are being serious, there much more legal categories against drivers: speeding, DUI, dozens of kinds of illegal parking etc.

And would need some source on the parking below market rates and land owners required to provide free parking. I own land, I am not required to provide parking to anyone, least so for free or below market rates. Parking requirements for public accommodations is not subsidizing anything it just taking reality into account and prevents patrons from crowding nearby streets with their cars as well as using parking space from other businesses.

> Vote in folks that plan to solve underlying problems, not vague "i'm gonna crack down on crime!" band-aids.

That's what the vast majority of people who run for local office try to do, the problem is that the issues like this tend to be far more complex than a soundbite can solve.

There are two problems here: legislative and enforcement. RVs park illegally overnight in neighborhoods,which leads to public health issues like how to deal with their wastewater, etc. The city fails to enforce the law, and residents respond by illegally putting up concrete barriers. Nobody wins reelection by spending lots of money and causing the city budget to increase, which would realistically be necessary in order to take enforcement seriously.

So I guess that's a long-winded way of asking: what should a problem-solver local candidate do in this situation?
So you're arguing the government should act against the wishes of the people being governed and ignore the desires of the people who care enough to actually vote?

I'd argue we need more people showing up to these kinds of public planning meetings who do want these things which are supposedly incredibly popular online and actually vote for candidates who say they'll do these things.
