As an example; That has worked fine for at least a century since bells were introduced as a requirement on bicycles in the 1900's around here (yes that is no typo). Pedestrians are usually annoyed but do notices the cyclist and that's what you want to achieve.
It feels like something was misquoted at some point.

The main benefit of Rust towards safety is not memory safety or data race safety or undefined behavior. The main benefit of Rust towards safety is a strong type system with affine typing. When used properly, this eliminates huge classes of bugs. Most of the bugs that I need to fight when I'm writing in Python or JS, for instance, are simply impossible in Rust.

Of course, when I'm writing C++ (which I don't do a lot these days), I really miss all the features that you mentioned.
Awesome, that's good to hear.

Did some more digging and it looks like F-Droid just hasn't been updated yet to take advantage of it for eligible apps (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/2316).
> I'm not being sarcastic, these sites are much worse for a far greater number of people than Kiwifarms.

Entirely seriously in reply: yes, they are a very big problem. Just because something is mainstream doesn't mean it's not incitement. A particular author for The Times had her views cited by at least two famous mass shooters in their manifesto. But the fight has to be fought at the margins, against the most extreme examples first.

> If we are going for the stochastic terrorism angle I don't know where to draw the line, as anything could incite some unhinged lunatic.

Not exactly. It's "dehumanization": constantly hearing/reading that some group of people are inferior and/or dangerous makes it much easier to commit crimes against them. There's a whole literature of study into this from people asking "how did the holocaust happen", eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Arendt

> Look at the 200+ school shootings in the US as an example.

This is a US-specific problem and has US-specific problems. There are particular forms of US politics that are (a) incitement to violence and (b) entirely "mainstream" and "legitimate". That's why the US has a mass shooting problem over and above countries with comparable levels of other crime or gun ownership.
I wish EVs were actually silent. In reality they are just as loud as a normal ICE vehicle above 20mph/30kph.

The reason for this are the tires which have gotten so wide over the past decades that they are now the sole noise you hear from a normal car.
Value of Facebook?
Apple did not even bothered to implement proper codec support for their flagship airpods. When I enable mic, audio quality goes to zero. Where's their proprietary standards when they're needed?
That already exists - in China . They made a vehicle like this for driving lessons - so you can pass your test in a "manual" vehicle.
Both of your comparisons suffer from the fact that neither of those BEVs are built on a platform designed from the ground up for a BEV, but rather an ICE platform with a battery shoe-horned into it.
I think the comparison is still reasonable: while we do not have scalable quantum computers, the technologies developed for them have actually seen a lot of use: squeezed light and non-classical light, color centers, Josephson junctions, nonlinear-optics at the single-photon level, to name a few "terms of art" that should be google-able, are crucial for precision sensing and telecom.
it will eventually cease to function.

Sure, but there is a difference between "eventually" being 3 years or 30.
This reminds me of a friend's observation: that here in Finland (a "welfare state") you do not see a lot of police out. My friend's theory was that social services forestall social desperation, keeping the crime rate lower. An insurmountable income-floor on criminality.

Many, many web developers would disagree with your assertion that you can't build great apps (including desktop and mobile (hello Electron and Capacitor)), or that the UI technologies available to web developers are a "hack" or aren't actually extremely productive and enjoyable to use. The argument that the web is only for documents and not app experiences is simply a relic of a different time.

First half of 2022 sees over 700 000 hours of flight from Part 135 jets (read: private jets). https://privatejetcardcomparisons.com/2022/08/03/argus-expec...

My 448 hours comes from the Top 20 of private charter operators, with a relatively old source. The average went up as the amount of private jetting went way up (more than doubled) (https://privatejetcardcomparisons.com/2017/07/11/how-many-ho...). Sure, take the 21 000 private jets in the world and say the average is only 60 if you'd like. The average isn't what matters. And hell, even with 60 average, that's 120 tons of CO2 per jet, per year. 25 people worth of yearly emissions, for a single plane. I promise you, there is nothing these planes do that it worth that.

could you please explain how US customary is base 2?

For example, how is "12 inches to a foot, 3 foot to a yard, and 1760 yards to a mile" base 2?

My understanding, before reading your post was that US customary was basically adapted from imperial which was in turn just an adaptation of folk measurements - a foot was about the length of a foot, etc.

GTK and Qt basically¹ churned their code once on this century. The other widget libraries didn't change at all.

And at least Debian comes with the previous version of GTK, if you want to depend on it. What, of course, nobody does, because staying up to date is a matter of recompiling and changing a few function calls. (It doesn't have Qt3, probably because it's much harder to ship multiple Qt versions system-wide.) And, of course, you can always include your widgets with your code.

This is basically the amount of churning you get for any general application because of the glibc instability. That one is hard to circumvent, but there shouldn't be more of it on the future.

1 - Qt has had two incompatible changes, one of them removed almost nothing, GTK literally has had one. There is, of course the Qt6 thing, that breaks everything again, but I doubt people will migrate.
> But the "making money" part still remains partly unsolved.

This is the only thing that concerns me about my current app plans. But here's my current thought process. A PWA would be much easier to use to test the market. Because it's faster to iterate and to deliver on both mobile OSs. Monetization of a social media app comes after you've attracted tens of thousands of users. So two years out if you still have a business, you can invest in native implementations.

Money comes either from users or from advertisers or both.

I think Apple will direct more developers towards building PWAs because it will reduce their review burden. Why else would they be adding features (notifications, installation) that make PWAs better? Doesn't it make sense therefore that Apple will also add support for monitization?
> Any guess on why people's experiences with spam are so diverse?

That would be an interesting research project. The domains getting most spams on my servers are the ones that are old (20+ years) which I guess makes sense.

Checking the rspamd logs for the last month gives just shy of 8500 emails with what I'd consider "definitely a spam" score. There's probably another 1000-1500 sneaking under that.
> Like I said, around 0 you're gonna get the worst performance, as outside temp goes down most models will see they COP actually increase (compared to ~0 C)

This simply makes no sense, and is not to be found in ANY datasheets from any of the big manufacturers. How do you propose this will work? a given volume of air, say 1 cubic meter, has a certain amount of heat at 0C, if you take it down to -5C or -10C, that amount of heat is reduced. The heatpump can only put so much air over the heatsink, and thus the absolute amount of heat visible to the heatpump reduces as temperature goes down.

> 2.5 kW sounds severely underdimensioned for a house at -20 C though

well yeah, I have of course not installed such a heatpump (with a max draw of ~1500W in plus degrees) as my only heat source, im just trying to convey the output capabilities

Agreed. Flexbox and Grid are the most productive I've ever been with a UI toolkit, and I've used pretty much everything available for native mobile and desktop dev. CSS is certainly weird at first, but once you really learn it it can be far more productive than traditional UI programming.

Also, I somehow hadn't seen the second half of your comments (was helping a toddler fall back to sleep).

I am a fan of what forth can do, but I find the language lacking. With a tiny bit of total code (i.e. 2-3 thousand lines) I've already made a "better" language: github com/civboot/fngi. Definitely WIP, but I'm already writing "code" in it.

As for what I'm looking for... anything really. So far the project has mostly been just me, so anything you wanted to contribute would be great. What I thought you would be specifically good at from you comment is outlining the technologies needed to get to precision engineering and semiconductor fabrication, which btw would probably be cold temperature (<300C) thin film lithography on glass or similar. These could include:

Creation of vacuums

Methods of manufacturing: lathes, CNC, molds, etc and how they have to be changed to do ultra precision manufacturing.

Manufacturing and purification of chemicals

Manufacturing and testing of optics (for patterning and precision engineering)

Precision measurements, including telescopes, oscilloscopes, scales, etc

I mean, the sky is the limit. Just understanding the problems and how it is both solved now as well as the history of solving it will be extremely valuable for simplification to the Civboot requirements.
Isn't that more of a bluetooth issue? You're switching from one audio stream to two. Each now has only half the available bandwidth, at most.
Onionbalance doesn’t solve anything, the attack remains asymmetric so you’ll have to spend significantly more on hardware than the attacker is.

All Apple headphones work as standard BT headphones on non Apple devices. I fail to see any “vendor” lock in.

As far as price, you can also pick up a pair of $50 Beat Flex headphones that have most of the same functionality with Apple devices.

I assure you those $35 “AirPod equivalents” don’t have the noise cancellation, spatial audio, transparency mode, or microphone quality that the AirPods Pro have.

Jets that are registered to companies fly regularly (yes, Bernard Arnault doesn't have a Bernard Arnault jet, he has 3 LVMH jets). It's currently doing at the very least 2 hours of flying per day.

The first time I ever saw an EV was in San Francisco, an EV1, somewhere around 2000. It literally was silent at slow speeds. My own first EV was a Leaf which has a noise maker which starts audible and decreases with speed and cuts out at about 20. I don't think my S does this. It should. This sound is a little annoying for the driver but is necessary for pedestrians, particularly blind people.

BTW, this clutch idea is really really dumb.

Wide paths with a modest number of bikes are usually OK. But I've definitely been on narrower paths and trails where cyclists are expecting you to step off to the side every two minutes because you're in their way. I don't mind every now and then when I'm walking but it can get to the point where you can't really mix modes.

It always felt to me that this post nuclear war sounds like choosing to be tortured until you die vs just dying on the spot.

We are talking about full on nuclear annihilation.

Its not 40-50 years of suffering, it sounds like generations of suffering, early struggles not to starve to death (if you are not a remote farmer or remote isolated community with farmers - tough luck scavenging vs hordes of other survivors).

Soon if you managed to be part of community that managed so far, you will be faced with other communities. Fighting over resources or farmland, resources are scares human lives are not. Eventually everything will fall under tyrannical local warlords, who will be constantly fighting too.

Daily fighting for resources, no medications or people who can heal you. Stupid cuts can become lethal, huge number of birthing deaths as c-section is quite common (google says 31.8%) so on and on

The lone survivor rebuilding nation is a romantic view, but I think realistically staying alive will be a grim premise that I'd rather skip.

Average age != average service life though, so what you are essentially saying is: Service life is something above 20 years[1]

The main thing about the electricity grid isn't so much that we need new capacity (that we actually have the production capacity to deal with), but that it changes the load distribution of the grid. And we have no (effective) way to communicate the load condition. If we could dynamically increase and decrease the consumption, then we could deal with building less excess capacity.

At least here in Germany, if you look outside you'll see nearly every new house having a complete array of solar panels and all of the currently added installations come with the option to redirect the power into local storage. This isn't widely deployed yet as battery capacity is still too expensive, but within the next couple of years this will be fixed and all of these buildings will "disappear" from the electric grid. They will (largely [2]) feed themselves and all remaining demand will be time-insensitive due to the available local storage.
These houses (and the associated EVs) will not put additional strain on the grid. And, if we manage to sort out the regulatory things and implement a reasonable user-interface, they may even take strain from the grid.

This is a rather long story for saying this: Don't equate "capacity added" with "production increase" with "actual amount of electric energy generated and consumed". The first to numbers differ by a load factor and the last one will (increasingly) diverge, due to net-metering and friends.

[1] assuming that all cars large the same time and none get "lost" by being in accidents or exported you'd get to 24 years if the half-life is 12, in practice I would assume a certain heavy-tailness and a peak somewhere around 20

[2] most houses will be _heavily_ oversupplied on a year-long basis, but will be consumers to the grid for shorter periods.
