A related really dumb thing is that in general, the signs in BART which indicate the time until the next train on a given line are not visible from outside the fare zone. This is especially relevant in parts of downtown SF, where you could take BART or Muni to go up or down market, and if there's a delay on one, you might quite reasonably want to switch to another. The added time to find the station agent and get an excursion fee waved is more than long enough to miss a muni train. (And needing to see an agent when _re-entering_ the system next time can make you miss a train again.)

I especially think that, if there's a service disruption, track maintenance, cancelled train, etc, BART should _automatically_ know not to apply an excursion fee, rather than hoping that most riders won't ask for a station agent to waive it.
I have tried at their site and at google. No luck.

But what's the chance that they have digitised stuff from the 70s ? Pretty low, I'd think. And FWIW, every issue in those days was BIG.
Laughable. Nearly 30 years later someone shot up a school with an AR-15. Yep, that government gun grab is riiight around the corner

As always, correlation doesn't imply causation. It's not clear that gun laws themselves even enabled the rise of fascism or that they had any negative impact on quality of life. With widespread gun ownership early 20th century Europe could have been even worse.

This argument is so tired it has it's own Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_gun_control_argument

> "The Jews of Germany constituted less than 1 percent of the country's population. It is preposterous to argue that the possession of firearms would have enabled them to mount resistance against a systematic program of persecution implemented by a modern bureaucracy, enforced by a well-armed police state, and either supported or tolerated by the majority of the German population. Mr. Carson's suggestion that ordinary Germans, had they had guns, would have risked their lives in armed resistance against the regime simply does not comport with the regrettable historical reality of a regime that was quite popular at home. Inside Germany, only the army possessed the physical force necessary for defying or overthrowing the Nazis, but the generals had thrown in their lot with Hitler early on."
The same goes for Windows.

Having come from a time where loading a small JPEG required a progress bar, it seems like one beefy server machine ought to be able to handle thousands of concurrent requests per second. This seems like it should fit most companies' needs until a hundred million in revenue or so:

1000 req/sec * 6 hours of daytime in one market * 365 days = 1.3 billion, so $0.10 revenue/req would be $130 million. Seems like even node.js could do 1000 req/sec unless the database bottleneck is large, let alone something like Go.

Of course, I might be wrong about this, these are just unverified estimates.

But, another reason is that I, personally, don't want to manage computers, I want to do interesting things with code. As soon as you get a second computer, infrastructure starts becoming non-trivial. I am not interested in infrastructure, so I'd like to be sure I've maxed out one computer first.

Also, my set of problems that I'm interested in does not really require distributed systems.
archive.org only ever captured 404s for that page. i wonder if it was a typo in the article. does Starlink use TI’s SimpleLink? because there’s a very similarly-named repo doing similar fault injection here: https://github.com/KULeuven-COSIC/SimpleLink-FI
Remember 20+ years ago when people did this with cable modems?
Yes (using pm2). I have a very good performance (req/sec) for 100/200 concurrent request. But it is a disaster for high concurrent requests.
Not sure what you're referring to, but many of the cups use PLA liners which is corn plastic ("plant-based alternative"). So that stuff is not from petroleum. You ought to be able to identify, it's usually labeled on the cup, or the packaging
I agree. Nothing wrong with insulting people, I just take issue with deifying and amplifying people who like offending people.

Yes, you should be allowed to offend whoever you want in a free society.

But admiring people because of their intent to offend large groups of people is just weird.
Irritating dang is enough.
units pushed too hard take a few days of, or go ravage the countryside, or decide to assisnate the general... like Rimworld but the units you're trying to control hate you a lot more and are willing to do something about it.

It's really not that obvious considering a few months ago people were seriously proposing banning russians and/or the russian government from using open source software.
If it helps, I suspect people are responding as though you're expecting that this would have already been reported because of the second half of your first comment:

Seemingly to suggest that they should currently be reporting on it.

(I do understand that you are probably simply pointing out that it is true that they are not reporting on it.)

When was Wikipedia ever credible? It should have never be used as a primary source.
GIF used to be a general purpose image format even for static images. Without the awareness campaign, enterprising devs would probably have extended the gif format to more than 8bpp and we wouldn't use PNG for that today. I'd call that a considerable result.

> they should be creating tables

Tables are a wart on Excel. They don't fit the established idioms at all. There's a very long list of common & simple things that either break or get very clunky with tables, including:

- Multi-row headers
- Merged-cell headers
- Headers with the same name (sometimes useful)
- Formulas that cross rows (e.g. iteratively refer to the previous row)
- Different table sections (e.g. a table-width merged row with one header)
- Merged rows

The benefit of tables is ... what? Slightly simpler formulas when all operands are in the same row? More automatic (and annoying) formatting? Almost everything people try to do with Tables is actually easier without them, and if it's not, you really just want a database.
This is a really interesting question that highlights the nature of open source and businesses. It is basically what Amazon did to many open source projects such that they've become non-open-source now, like MongoDB and ElasticSearch.

Occurs-check-less unification is in fact a well-defined operation once you realize it’s just giving you infinite (specifically regular) trees, but those are not at all straightforward (or fast) to process, and I don’t know if you can build a convincing Prolog out of them. I do know that basically nobody uses equirecursive types (that is recursive types described as potentially infinite type constructor expressions) because the resulting regular tree wrangling is hell on your typechecker’s performance (and maybe also because non-regular recursive algebraic types are occasionally useful).
This. That encyclopedic knowledge of gotcha’s and work arounds and such is why people hate C++ so much. It’s far beyond tolerable. If you were to restrict everything to just c++20 (force shard_ptr, etc) it would still be something only battle hardened adventurers would pursue. Languages like Go and Nim and the all mighty Rust try to take away complexity for a bit of convention and provide safety for us mortals that just want to get an idea across.

For those that are weathering the storm in C++, I commend you, but you’re going to need therapy. (joke but the effects of stress are real).
Russia and Ukraine had many disagreements since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The moment that relations really took a turn for the worse was after Ukraine started flirting with NATO and to a lesser extent EU, at which point Russia took Crimea and tensions started in the East.

Ukraine then continued to align and train with NATO, the Minsk accords failed and Russia invaded. At this point, our best understanding is that they wanted to enact quick regime change and re-align the country’s position to Russia. As to your reference to Holodomor 2, there’s no indication that they wanted to commit genocide or force a large scale famine.

Russia’s actions in Georgia, Belarus or Crimea itself indicate the more likely fate of Ukraine. Of course the problem with an escalation spiral is that there’s no telling where it will end up.
Still, considering that Ukraine’s allowing gas exports to transit their country and Russia’s allowing grain exports, the relation is not as hopeless as you make it seem.

As for the US’s contribution to the Ukraine war effort, paradoxically, the US support and NATO courting them were likely an important trigger of the invasion.
And the US support which enabled Ukraine’s resistance means that it’s now trapped in a spiral of violence with Russia that is tearing both countries apart.

We can’t know what could have been, but looking at other neighbors of Russia’s an alternative reality where Ukraine remains corrupt, poor, in Russia’s sphere of influence but whole is not unlikely.

>Most crimes have what's called a 'Mens Rea' element, which means you had to have criminal intent.

That's what Ross Ulbricht was arguing; the creator and the operator of the biggest Dark Web drug marketplace called Silk Road but it didn't work out for him. Because you as an operator of a platform have liability of what your users do or in another words you need to take action in order to prevent illicit activities. Ross argued that he created neoliberal free for all marketplace but that the bad guys invaded it and ruined it. Ofc that was BS argument just like not regulating who is mixing funds and what kind of funds at your crypto mixer is also BS.

In my state lawyers need 15 hours per year. If they are anything like my wife’s medical continuing education credits they are super easy to get because many of the things she already has to do for work count.

If you don't mix your coins I can see you have signed up. If you do mix your coins I cannot. When I say I, I literally mean I could check the chain and see you were a vpn user. After mixing I (me) can no longer see if you are paying for a vpn. Hope that clears it up lol.
For me, I try to be polite and not get in the way of someone trying to take a picture of someone on a bridge across a sidewalk for example. But it can get to the point where I'm just rude and pretend I don't see them. At least selfie sticks seem to have become less common--probably because smartphones are often available with wider lenses today.

The essence of Haskell is non-strictness. It is the very reason Haskell was created.

There are already strict functional languages, like OCaml. What value comes from stripping Haskell of the soul of its existence?
Belief has nothing to do with it. My taxes bills are all denominated in dollars. Even if I stop believing, I still have to get enough dollars to pay those taxes. Otherwise the government will use force to seize my other assets (real estate, cars, stocks, etc) and sell those to satisfy the delinquent tax bills.

Cryptocurrency advocates seem ridiculously naive about how money actually works in the real world. It's like they're all little children or something.
Indeed, communicating requirements is one of the hardest parts of managing anything technical. Especially if you're working with people who are a couple steps removed from the background domain knowledge.

Yes, you can stand in the middle of a narrow path and use a selfie stick to take photos. No, you shouldn't do that if it inconveniences everybody around you. Doing so anyways makes you a self-centered dickhead.
Most yes, although the far higher intensity was near chemical plants through the water supply I think especially in the past.
I doubt any charges will be pressed, just because it's such a political nightmare. This didn't begin as "Oh, no, somebody is holding nuclear secrets". It began as "Some records should be in the archives". With the records returned, I've got a feeling they're going to dub it "bureacratic cock-up rather than treason", just to avoid the mess.

Still... it would be remarkable if, after all that, he got jail time over paperwork. The Mueller report basically said "he's guilty of a ton of stuff but there's no way to prosecute a sitting president so we're not gonna". It would be vaguely reminiscent of Al Capone getting put in jail for tax evasion.

I know for me, I have a personal budgeting spreadsheet that is fairly complex. I'd love to simplify aspects of it with macros and checkboxes. However I can't use any macro-related features because then it becomes incompatible with the web interface, and I sometimes like to use that when working on Linux.
If they did that probably doesn't matter.

"I built a bomb I can't disarm" is not a credible defense.

There is an argument to be made that if a word has a very widely-known meaning, and a very niche meaning, then the niche usage requires clarification even among the niche group that invented the niche meaning.

For example, when there is a certain word that you and your peer group use as an in-joke, you usually have to wink or smirk to invoke the joke meaning, that acts as a signal to the group to resolve the word to its group-specific meaning.
There's so much silly about this, I'm struggling with where to start.

>I really want everyone who travels to realize: no, it's not content producers who are ruining it. It's YOU. YOU are ruining these places.

How do you suppose so many of these places are "discovered" in the first place? My beef with these "content producers" is that they've all got the "I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER" vibe. They hog all the views, the private spaces so they can make their locale look a specific way. I don't really care if you're being paid for it - that doesn't mean you get to hog the space so you can preen and primp it into a specific A E S T H E T I C.
another gem:

> Another group are the families and communities of those who have committed crimes, who are also victims. The harms of having their members – especially men and, disproportionately, young Black men – disappear from the community for years at a time are incalculable, even taking account of the benefits of having violent people removed.

more violence to words and plain meaning. the family of criminal are the victims. the criminal is a "community member [who] was disappear[ed]"
Just started watching it and it's great and hilarious! I guess one of the things that I'm enjoying a ton is that I also don't know anything about farming so I'm as surprised at Clarkson is. It's humbling (seems for Clarkson too) to see that I don't know everything...

The quotes on incompetent was missing. If someone's set at a place and proves to be "incompetent" in another setting their family is better off if they never switched the job in the first place. Hiring someone with 5/10+ years of experience for example and firing them after trial is a worse outcome for most people than not having had them make the switch in the first place if it was avoidable.
I cook eggs on cast iron without them sticking, but it requires maintenance on the seasoning. The trick is to use some butter when cooking with eggs, and they slide right off. A quick wipe with a paper towel and the pan is clean (leaving butter residue helps keep it oiled for next time).

Cast iron is a pain to clean if you burn food and the burnt pieces stick, but the investment into learning how to cook with it is worth the reward imo.

To be fair, I have had some compassionate employers offer me a couple of extra days of PTO after an emergency.

But this is offset by the fact that since I never took PTO, I had stopped accumulating it almost a year ago.

Something I love about remote work, is it encourages people to actually build real social circles.

I'm pretty sure that's why the excursion fare exists.

I really have no idea. I sometimes receive excel forms from clients and contractors that even though they are nothing fancy they won't open on excel online. I am a full time DevOps and systems architect can't work without Linux you see.

So sometimes I have to resort to a Windows VM and Excel, the real deal to fill out those forms.

I used wine a long time ago, but it would only support a very specific, very ancient version of Excel, so a VM is actually less of a hassle (when already prepared. The process of installing windows on a VM was quite frustrating for me).

But no, I don't think there is any substitute to excel. Microsoft made sure of that.
You've constructed a straw-man rather than address the central point some people are more or less gifted/talented.

For millions of students the education system is the only ticket out of poverty for themselves and their families. To ignore that because it might make some people feel uncomfortable is absolute nonsense and misses the point entirely.

The people uncomfortable with that should be asking themselves why they feel that way, repeatedly.

Denying everyone these opportunities because some students aren't gifted/talented is deranged, unnatural, and genuinely evil.
