Like most cities, yours has pushed out parents and the concerns of kids.

Suburbs are more welcoming to kids in general because here we have more parks for kids than dogs. Here we don't have museums - but we don't miss them because we know from experience our kids can only stand being in one for about 10 minutes before they start doing that will get us kicked out if we don't leave first. A good portion of your art not kid friendly. Culture is everywhere, we don't get the "high culture" of the cities, but we have our own culture that works for us. We do a lot more cooking at home as we can't afford eating out as much, but I will grant when we do go out there is a lack of choices. All you really have that we would even use is much better transit.

It doesn't have to be that way. I'm told NYC is still welcoming to kids. Most cities though are not places where they have things for family.
Interesting - I was born in New Jersey in 66 when my dad was working at Bell Labs but I grew up in Stuttgart. Had no idea there was a "Bell Labs" there
> Some of them are terrible. "Release the ropes" (lifeboat) for eaxmple, as well as others, only mean something if you already know what they mean.

Yes but the intended audience isn't the general public, it's going to be lifeboat crew and operators, and these folks will likely be trained to interpret these signs.
That's probably still a net profit for Alex Jones. According to the documents discussed in court he makes $800,000 a day from his show.

If anything, he probably made more covering his own trial than what the trial cost.
Industrial labs pay better and don't sink as much time into grantsmanship.

It's not so much that they are magical, it's that traditional academia sabotages itself by being stingy. Industrial leaders have a better calibrated sense for when "stingy" becomes "counterproductive," so they don't shoot themselves and their scientists in the foot.
You can make the same arguments in the past about kids watching TV and then kids using a PC.

In 10 years, parents will be complaining about AR/VR
Work is usually the kicker, many suburbs are actually quite bikable if you're willing to bike on the street.

What people really want is their work, stores, school of choice within walking/biking distance, which is harder to accomplish.
As a fairly "disciplined" person, it's easy for me to say "Yeah, but..." to this, but being open to serendipity has real benefits, when it comes to creativity and "big ideas."

But she is not just talking about that. She's also talking about letting go of discipline, as tool for self-improvement, and mental health.

I can see that. It would not work for me, but it is not a bad thing.

The issue that I always have, about people prescribing What Works For Me, to others, is that it often doesn't work, in other people. Not judging others, when something that we do/take pride in does not apply, can be difficult.

I enjoy living in a world of variety. People that are different from me, make my life richer. In order to have this richness, I need to accept those that differ from me. That can be a challenge.

Getting back to "discipline," I have heard a quote:

"Winners do what they have to do, and losers do what they want to do."

I'm not a fan of the terms "winners" and "losers," but that's just me, and the approach I take. The quote does have a good message, if we don't get hung up on the terms used to describe people.

Sometimes almost none! I usually generate a normal map for it, but the last one I did was retro 70s carpet, and it looked awesome with zero cropping/editing. It was almost perfectly aligned. It helps that my game is quite lofi haha. I'm using Godot/Qodot/Trenchbroom.
> My ERX is and will forever be a router at the mercy of ubiquiti releasing new firmware fixes.

The Ubiquiti ER-X is supported by OpenWRT. Since you're planning to use OpenWRT in the future, why not run it on your ER-X?
I hope they throw the book at him for punitive damages as well. Maybe then people will learn you don't get to sit there spouting blatant lies without consequence.

I thought forwarding his messages to the jan6 committee was just a stunt but apparently there's some juicy stuff in there. Will be interesting to see what comes out of it.
That's something totally different. Delay of gratification, the act of resisting an impulse to take an immediately available reward in the hope of obtaining a more-valued reward in the future. The ability to delay gratification is essential to self-regulation, or self-control, aka discipline.
I miss Dogpile.

Comparing everybody's results was fascinating.
Once you understand how social media works it's not surprising at all - it's just an adversarial cycle where they come up with new rules for content and bad actors learn how to exploit them until the rules change again. At Facebook scale of course it's bound to make a ton of money.

Be careful though. Until we fill all the demand of people who can afford to pay for those $1MM apartments nobody will be building cheaper stuff. That there is demand for tiny apartments says we have a problem with supply.

I can only speak about the Roborock S5, but I assume the newer ones are fairly comparable.

I once had it give me an error that the main fan (for suction) was broken. In this case, there was a small particle lunged into it, so it wouldn't spin. All it took was a little wiggle, and it spun again.

It's definitely more than 10 phillips head screws, but less than 30. I guess it depends which part broke, but I had to disassemble pretty much the whole thing. I can promise you that my repair skills or experiences are very novice, but I managed just fine. Had two screws left over after putting it all back together as is tradition, but I suppose they weren't mission critical, as this was like 3 years back and Dobby is still cleaning like a champ.

Like half a year ago, the LIDAR broke. Ordered a new one on amazon for 20 bucks, unscrewed now about 28 screws and exchanged the broken part. Put it all together, again tossed away a screw that left me wondering where it belonged, and it still works to this day.

This was a very long way of saying "Roborocks repair fairly easily, and there are numerous tutorials online."

Edit: BTW, Dobby has been cleaning for almost 500 hours now. At that price point, there is no cheaper hourly cleaning staff :)
You need to correctly align incentives - anything else won't work. The way you align incentives is through a Land Value Tax.

Currently lower supply means higher prices, which benefits existing owners, so they vote for that. Under a LVT, lower supply means higher taxes instead of higher prices.

You can resolve this issue through a 100% LVT. A 100% LVT would set land prices to zero. You would still need to pay for the building on top of the land.

A good way to transition to this system is by giving everyone land tax credits equal to the value of their land. This is beneficial for everyone right now because the Fed is raising rates, that will yield lower land prices, and thus by zeroing out the risk of lower housing prices as we move into this recession through a one-time credit, everyone is better off.

If you want to preserve those bubble prices, you want to quickly vote in a LVT.
I wholeheartedly agree with every single word in this post. I also mourn this feature's death daily. Being able to force-push on the spacebar is not good enough of a replacement.
You argue with the mod about are we really sure we don’t want your spam?
So all the memes aside, is anyone else astounded at how poorly that went for Alex Jones? Just a shit-show nearly the entire time. From his terrible legal representation, to his own terrible testimony. Just a mess.

I mean, his 'on-air' personality is a mess, but I always sort of thought it was just a show. It's interesting to me that it turned out he really is just an absolute train-wreck of a person.

The labor participation rate is also still down 2% from pre covid levels.
This is great. I was wanting to get a Roomba, but it's too costly in India (the model that has the automatic dust collection thingy)

With Amazon buying it, perhaps they will make it available widely here.

On an other note, the day is not far off when Amazon not only controls the distribution, but slowly gobbles up the production as well, leading to a idiocracy esque one corporation to rule them all.
The article title is actually:

> because you would end up tracking salads and greens and other stuff (which is basically WATER in itself) 2000 miles from, say, Lakes region

This happens regardless of where you grow it. Most of it gets exported. Transporting water in large quantities is not easy. Transporting lettuce is.
This is actually part of the secret to making walkable neighborhoods - make them hell for cars (one entrance, have to snake around) but have paths that go directly through walls/hedges. I've seen some very nice housing developments that are literally 100 ft from a shopping center, but you'd never know it because it's hidden behind a gate.
Please now also improve search results without quotes. When I query a b c (without quotes) I want results exclusively containing all 3 words, not just one or two of them. There's a reason I typed it.

Next, remove content thieves like Pinterest entirely from the index.

Next, invest in recency + relevancy over just page reputation. A huge amount of high value recent content is written but it keeps losing against much worse old content which only ranks because it's old. As the typical example: the 15 year old Stackoverflow jQuery answer.

Invest in location awareness. Including location in your query gives laughable results.

I use linux and never heard of this "do not disturb" setting

But even so linux already doesn't disturb you unless you configure it to, like an OS should

So if some distro or desktop has a "do not disturb" setting that sounds worrying, since it indicates that by default it does disturb you

I haven't done the math, but I believe it's because of two points:

1 - The "difficulty" of mining a block is based on how long it's been since the last block was mined, with a drop off in difficulty at 9 seconds

2 - If two blocks "tie", the the block that was more difficult to mine is the winner, and takes the rewards.

---

So essentially, it's a way of breaking ties in their favor - reliably - by cheating a smidge on the timestamps they send for their blocks.

What do you suggest? I think main considerations are cost, ability to keep clean and durability.
This book is really good but does not detail the Thompson and Ritchie portion of the labs history. It only mentions it in passing.
You can get top-up insurance for loads of sports [1] if you want cover for "Mountain Unicycling - Competition" or "Jousting" or "Praying Mantis Training"

Of course, there are some things they won't cover - if you're skydiving you have to either be qualified, or undergoing instruction. And it might be a bit expensive - if you're doing scrambling at 7000m in nepal, it'll cost you £150 or so.

We are arguing about the definition of extreme sports, but for my travel insurance for skiing and kitesurfing I need the "extreme sports" addon. The point is, "extreme sports" depend on the insurer.
My experience with a couple lower end ones and a sheddy dog is that they work well for what they are. Don't expect magic. Expect low effort daily maintenance cleaning that keeps things spiffy. Maybe the higher end ones are significantly better? My bet is that the cleaning isn't all that different since among a product line they largely use the same chassis--there is only so much sweeper/suction/storage they can have.

The one upgrade that would be useful in retrospect is electronic fencing, but it isn't a big deal.
I guess meetups for un-commercial topics, and maker spaces, especially the weirder ones.
I guess data is one part, but I see this as a smart home eco-system play, that integrates well into their Alexa thing.

Meaning what exactly?

If you're saying Microsoft will implement DIDs, my question is, "Which of the 50+ methods?"
Average user either likely: does not care, values ADs, understands ADs pay the bills, does not care enough to understand ad blockers, cannot tell search quality has changed, is unable to tell real reviews from fake, etc.

If you care, in my opinion, you’re not an average user, since if the average user cared, so would Google.
Oh yeah that's Atherton. Taller heavier poles like what are they going to tell Caltrain what the neighborhood requires the impedance and resistance be such-and-so?

I lived there, they hate pedestrians, hate new construction, hate public transport (never saw anybody at the Atherton Station, nobodoy getting on, nobody getting off, nothing, it's on for decoration), to diffuse NIMBY accusations. Nothing there, not one business, it's only utility is a discrete place to jump into the tracks.

Yeah Atherton is that place. Atherton is the spirit of NIMBY, the spirit of Landlord, the spirit of all those things.
Yes, amongst other things. It's certainly doable, and I expect they will arrive at some point, but I cannot say with any confidence when that might be.
I can understand why they killed it (I suspect the average user was simply completely unaware that it existed, and no doubt getting rid of it made the physical implementation simpler) but I do think it's a shame; it was by far the best text-handling on a touch device I've seen before or since.

I do wonder if it'll come back at some point.

Tips is underrated. I think back then people just didn’t want a thick manual (also available in the Apple Books store) just to get value out of their phones, but Tips fills the need of providing some guidance as changes occur.
Thank you for the explanation.

I get it now. It is all thanks to separating the operation as
1. agreeing on WAL,
2. executing after waiting all WAL agreements stabilizing.

There is a separation between the two. This can introduce waits (which could be theoretically unbounded for EPaxos but Tempo and Accord bounds this).

Maybe in some sense this is in the same spirit of Calvin's serializing WAL first and executing it later. But Accord avoids a single entity doing the serialization and achieves it via a leaderless Paxos approach which uses dependency graphs for WAL serialization, and later using another protocol for WAL execution after settlement.
It’s crazy tho, even the cheapest roborock w/ LiDAR smokes every roomba out there. It’s hard to justify the more expensive models unless but the advanced feature sets are tempting.
You are absolutely right, but I’m not sure I want to have a free roaming camera and LiDAR sensor from a Chinese company in my home. Absolute piss poor track record of data collection, I’ll happily stick to my roomba. It’s definitely semi dumb but it’s predictable in its quirks. It’s also repairable with copious supply of original parts. Note also that they still innovate, including the self empty bin that actually works, which others have now copied. Just sayin’.
As I recall, there's a workaround somewhere for that. I too find it irritating that my phone manufacturer would decide they need to censor my language. If I want to use the F word, that's my business. Autocorrect used to just be mildly annoying and humorous. In the last few years it has evolved to infuriating. And it can be so persistent, too. Used to be just back up and retype and it would leave you alone, but much of the time now it just keeps on trying to 'correct' what I'm typing.
Might want to try something like buildroot or yocto, so you can have a r/o root fs with your code in.

Or the ESP32 or larger STM32 microcontrollers.
But - do the jobs pay the man that does it? Remember than someone who works an hour in a month counts as employed in the statistics.
How does it avoid cables? I have an earlier Roborock version and while I love it and will defend it until the day it dies, I've found that cables are the absolute nemesis. Does your version have computer vision?
"He said the number of rescues and deaths in the Mont Blanc massif had not risen this year" (last paragraph): it almost reads like the journalist and the mayor lament that those numbers didn't go up, nullifying their whole argument. Or did I miss something?
The commoditization and proliferation of private "targeting" takes us backward by three hundred years, to pre-Westphalian conflicts among non-state actors, including vigilantes, pirates and mercenaries.

This company pretends it has the moral high ground, but like most of corporate America, they always have an eye on Chinese profits. America's future is at stake and we won't wake up until it's too late.
> only being able to go where my parents take me and finally growing into driving age so that I can go from parking lot to parking lot.

Part of this is because we hover over kids and let them do less. I'm from middle America, and when my dad was a kid, he and his friends would bike 100 miles round trip and it was fine.
You say that now, but you won't complain when you have epsilons mowing your lawn.

We have a 120qm2 apartment, 2 cats, 1 dog and a child. We couldn‘t live without our Roborock S7. It runs everyday and sometimes even more. No big issues, vacuums, mops, would buy it again in a heartbeat.
People want upvotes so they submit it. Setting up scanning for recent articles is probably harder than it seems. Can’t think of any other forum that does it.
I work at a college; more students than ever are working while going to school. They have jobs, but need something else because they can't afford the life they had just three or four years ago.

It's really a weird time.
Fwiw, they’re not buying Roomba for the tech. They’re buying it for the brand and the customer base.
Scans of people's home layout definitely wouldn't be worthless, I just don't think that's the main motivator of the acquisition.

I created an open source shopping list app as an alternative to out of milk
I currently do grocceries every week and I wanted an app where I could make my list before going to the supermarket.

DIDs support multiple storage mechanisms. Each storage mechanism defines how to create, read, write/update, and delete DIDs. Here's a list of the already implemented and published mechanisms: https://w3c.github.io/did-spec-registries/#did-methods. They range from no storage (e.g. did:key, you derive the DID from a public key but can't change/update anything about that DID) to stored on a webserver (e.g. did:web) to stored on a blockchain (e.g. did:ethr).

Often, a DID is created from a public/private key pair that is used to sign a transaction that's specific to the DID method. The DID then becomes publicly visible with the associated configuration, e.g. multiple key pairs associated with the DID, service endpoints that allow an interaction with the DID, etc.
I’m pretty sure I have a decent idea about this. I’ve been fascinated at the rot of modern academia and to identify what went right in the past in such successful scientific endeavors. Decades of reading and rumination. If you now want to come and say my PhD is not enough and I need to be a professor to comment on the status quo, then perhaps that’s the exact attitude I’m critiquing.
For most people a car is the best compromise. There are cost is worth it, but the car is just a tool for getting around. There are a few collectors who own a car for other reasons, but most it is transportation. If they lived someplace where public transit was enough better they wouldn't own a car.

Enough better for transit is complex. It is a factor of cost, how nice it is, ability to get places when they want to, traffic, and a few other factors. The denser the city the more likely it is that transit is better.
What's the difference? In either case you are preferring the dream of future chocolate over actual immediate chocolate.
Usually when you talk about a geometric kernel in the past three decades, you're talking mainly about, but not exclusively about, a solid modeler.

A solid modeler generally consists of a trimmed curve and surface library with lots of topological reasoning, to be able to represent closed regions of space and manipulate them by adding holes and rounding features and offsets. The idea is to be able to represent and operate on just about any 3d shape imaginable. Solid modelers of recent years have had support for nurbs surfaces and polygonal subdivision surfaces, but also include support for conic sections, beziers and other implicit or parametric curves or surfaces. Many of them, like OpenCascade are arranged in a logical object oriented fashion which abstracts the complexity. They have to be general, featureful and fast for anybody to want to use them. It's a whole heck or a lot of math and geometric reasoning (and debugging) which makes them valuable (and huge), and although you might want to talk about a "new" kernel you would never just want to chuck something like OpenCascade and start over. OpenCascade, ACIS, Parasolid, SMLib and others encapsulate a huge corpus of knowledge no matter what language they are written in. I have taken criticism from other Lisp hackers for writing Lisp bindings to OpenCascade instead of "starting over" in Lisp, but these people really have no idea what they are talking about.
People who rob upper-middle class homes are not going to do so because they have a house layout in advance. They're just going to rob the house. And anybody who goes to the lengths of buying Amazon data on the black market is not going to be interested in stealing people's laptops and jewelry.
