> S5.1 Service brake systems. Each vehicle must be equipped with a service brake system acting on all wheels.

What is a "service brake"? Notice that the regulation you linked to includes requirements for EVs that have braking regeneration as a component of their "service brake".

It turns out that the top-level of FVMSS [1] says that "service brake means the primary mechanism designed to stop a motor vehicle."

So I think you are exactly right. There is nothing in the law that says you can't use a 100% brake regen system in an EV. It just has to work and meet the performance standards (and perform regen on all wheels). But I'd guess that you aren't going to see the traditional brake system disappear unless it starts getting in the way. They don't cost a lot (relative to the price of the car), don't weigh a lot, are really reliable, and work really well.

In Massachusetts at least I think it's strictly salary which could probably represent 25% or less of your total comp. And yeah, you can work but there's no guarantee you would be able to work for another vaguely related software company, for example. I know people who wanted to go off on their own as consultants and did indeed have to take a year off.

I personally can't care less about 32-bit, but unfortunately a few digital music stores I buy from use this format (delivered in WAV). And I don't want to downscale them simply for archival reasons.

Now I can at least re-compress them losslessly in FLAC. (previously I have to use Wavpack, which isn't bad but I'd prefer to have a single format in my media library.)
My response is to "I have nothing to hide", is that isn't what you're giving up when you give away your privacy. You should be comfortable with "never needing to hide anything in your past, present, or future". The future is impossible to predict and actions that could be innocuous today may cause a great deal of trouble for you in the future. You give up that right forever when you lose privacy.
I wonder if their A/B test showed that this was somehow "solving" the "spam of spam reports" problem. It would be fairy naive but I could envision a world where they tested this out, saw fewer (but more detailed) spam reports and concluded that the prior distribution of spam reports was itself not reliable (e.g overcounted the problem).

This is obviously self-serving but seems like it may at least be a "consistent" world view where they aren't totally cynical.
Hmm... so like a "lost decade" for a city.

Well, let’s add that the project didn’t want to continue with the “standard committee”-like model, so they quit on their own accord, not due to some malicious intent on Oracle’s part. But as a now outside entity it would indeed wouldn’t make sense to use the standard lib’s packages, so a change was necessary.

Fascist and fascist-adjacent political parties are not allowed to exist in Germany, and Germany is doing just fine (relatively speaking). I wonder how Germany would have fared without its laws against "unconstitutional organizations". I wonder if West Germany would have renazified after WWII.

> That said, at the edges of that I totally agree even 24-bit can be questionable there since a lot of the analog side doesn't have a noise floor that would let it be meaningfully used.

It's not that hard to beat 16-bit, which is 96 dB, using easy-to-find, off-the-shelf equipment. One example scenario is that you are recording something but you don't have a precise idea of how loud it will be ahead of time, so you record at low levels and rely on 24-bit capture to give you headroom above and noise floor below. Trying to capture at 16-bit can, in practice, be annoying and difficult because it is more likely that you will ruin takes by setting the gain wrong.
Very familiar, I’ve got hard copies of both plus Filler Bunny! Huge fan.
You may be interested in knowing that about two years ago, a team of engineers at Dropbox wrote gory details about their use of Rust and it was inspiring. The passion about their work really came through. The team also held an AMA on /r/rust that went well. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/fjt4q3/rewriting_the_...
Note that 144dB range is what you get from 24 bits per sample. 32 bits gets you another 48dB more.

Some of your ADC/DAC chain can reasonably claim 125dB range. Some amplifiers can claim 17 or even 18 bits above their noise floor - 108dB.

No full-spectrum microphones, headphones or speakers can reasonably claim 125dB without distortion, but if they did you would still want to limit your exposure to "never". Long-term damage begins with long-term exposure under 96dB.
Is that what most people would understand by the term "direct support"?

"Direct support to communities", to me, is when you give something "directly" to a community member, such as a travel grant, or a grant for equipment, or pay for reference material.

The Wikimedia Foundation does things like that too, to be fair, but it accounts for about 3% of its expenditure, not 32%.

It's in the $9.8M "Awards and grants" item here:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/1/1e/Wikim...

However, $5.5M of that $9.8M is money the Foundation paid into its own Endowment (which, by the way, has never published audited accounts). So only a little over $4M are left for "direct support to the communities".
One of the main issues is putting autopilots in trains and cutting the actual human staff to one person. I can't imagine being the only person on a train in the middle of nowhere in the middle of winter and something goes wrong.

Edit: I relayed what I read here:

Why Railroad Workers Like Me Are Planning to Strike This Friday | Opinion

https://www.newsweek.com/why-railroad-workers-like-me-are-pl...

In the last few years, the railroad companies have mounted an assault on labor, costing livelihoods and sacrificing worker safety to a point where we just can't go on.

For starters, railroad companies have adopted something called "positive train control" or PTC for short. PTC is basically autopilot for trains. It's a great piece of technology, but since adopting it, companies have decided that the conductor role is obsolete, and you just need an engineer to take care of the train. In an effort to save money, the railroads have been pushing for a single-man crew the last few years, with the biggest freight railroads reducing staff by 29 percent.

I'm all for better technology. But it has to be safe. And there's a big problem with eliminating the role of the conductor. One of the major things the conductor does is if there is an issue with the train, some sort of defect with a railcar, say, the conductor goes out and checks what the issue is while the engineer stays in the cab to control the train.

I can understand the pushback against FP, but it doesn't follow that if FP is a poor choice, then the only realistic alternative is OOP.

I do a lot of Python stuff - much of it is not functional programming. And very little of it is OOP.

The programming world doesn't consist of just these.

How do people think these kinds of thoughts?

"Food is too expensive! We have to shut down these evil farmers! Farming just makes them rich!"

It is absolutely illegal. It violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964

Yes, that's the same act that makes it illegal to discriminate against racial minorities, women, religions, etc.

Discrimination based on race is illegal, pure and simple. Hiding it under nice names like "affirmative action" does not change this fact.
We don't always record and export at 24-bit, though that's always the end result from mastering (if not 16-bit). In some contexts, 32-bit files are common for samples and for transferring in-progress artifacts like mixed tracks that are ready for mastering.
In many family-owned businesses the heir apparent (normally the eldest son of the owner) is prepared for the job by working as many of the low-level jobs as possible when a teenager. They clean the trash, lubricate the machines, etc. Two benefits: they know about how the business works so they can't be BSed later on, and they have the credibility with the line-level employees.
I never really understood the advantage of a mind map tool over a good tree-oriented note taking/task organizing tool. In fact I prefer the use of screen real-estate in a simple tree than a mind-map. Is this just a matter of personal taste or is there some functionality/concept am I overlooking?
The equation has two terms: supply and demand. So it’s not just “people moving there” (demand), but also how easy it is to create housing (supply). Texas makes it much cheaper and easier to create housing than does California. If it was demand alone then California housing prices should be going down because people are moving from California to Texas.

It’s also about what kind of industries each state chooses to cultivate. Economies based on knowledge work magnify class and racial disparities because they have high barriers to entry and tend to produce winner-take-all stratification. That directly produces the highly stratified and segregated environment you see in SF and NYC.

Yeah, I don't mean to knock large Apache projects in general - they can be great software. My point is that it's hard for them to change / successfully copy their competitors.

Much of what makes Spark successful was there at the beginning - e.g. a clean programming model and an architecture that didn't require provisioning new resources from the resource manager every time it launches a task.

> Having to sign up for the hundred forum account

On the other hand for just browsing around I don't need to sign up at all, and I can stumble across interesting things through either a web search or perchance a link from elsewhere. With Discord neither is possible, because it's all inaccessibly hidden behind a login wall.

Personally there are only a few forums I'm really actively participating in, but there are quite a few more I'm just happy to occasionally browse through, and quite a few more I just randomly stumble across while searching for information on whatever subject currently occupies me.

While having to sign up separately for every forum might be considered somewhat more of a hassle, personally I don't find it that annoying and in any case it's only every now and than that I actually feel the urge to actively contribute something.

The way Discourse (or Facebook groups for that matter) works on the other hand means that all the serendipity stuff of randomly stumbling across some interesting forum thread on a subject I'm interested in or a problem I'm having can't even happen in the first place because like I said it's all inaccessibly hidden behind a login wall.

So I'll gladly trade the "inconvenience" of separately run forums and even slightly annoying sign up procedures for being able to just casually browse through and being able to find them at all in the first place.

I am a San Francisco resident and living near the Mission laundromat in the article.

I am skeptical your cringe thing will achieve much against problems from this article.

The people on your website have been in power for a few years. They haven't dealt with some problems that take an afternoon to solve, that don't seem to exist everywhere. A poll is cheap, and I'm sure they've conducted some to determine a popular and re-electable course of action.

Clearly the status quo is popular enough to win them office, so why the fuck should I give them money? That will achieve the opposite of what I want. It's completely bonkers dumb.

An intellectually honest approach would find an opposition candidate to run.

The real problem is votes. The right to do whatever the fuck you want with a piece of shit laundromat is, essentially, protecting the minority from a dumbfuck majority.

It's crazy because it's the same energy that mobilizes San Franciscans on many issues, like the minority rights to an abortion, gay marriage, minority religions, etc. For some reason minority rights are organized by how strongly the emotions are felt, instead of like, an objective criteria.

There are issues with strong emotions people can mobilize for. Let me give you a taste of what would motivate me:

> Likewise, the board cited CEQA in denying Tillman’s project in 2018, saying it could cast shadows over a nearby playground.

Alioto Park, which is not obscured by this site but is another playground of many in the Mission, is inhabited by literal heroin addicts, alcoholics and other bottle guys all day. Unusable by children. Dolores Park has people also drinking alcohol and doing drugs. And yet, the playground is eminently usable, clean and well maintained. What gives?

Some people just fucking suck dude. Bottle guys really suck way harder than hipsters. It's so fucking ridiculous that some pieces of shit care about this abstract shadow problem, and in the same breath tolerate their shitty bottle guys in Alioto.

They shit their obese chihuahuas on every street and don't pick up. Listen, some people just don't fucking ever litter. I don't ever litter.

They do a shit job maintaining their million dollar, crumbling homes. Their schools suck. They voted for a repeal of the law that would let them send their kids to better schools, because they're dumb. They pile kids and old relatives into apartments to maximize buyout costs. They pay property taxes stuck in the 80s. They park in the middle of Valencia street for church, and put up a sign that says "Church Parking Only." On a public street dude. They block people's driveways, renters' driveways.

The action I want is, "Everyone deserves a community, not the same community." Identify a politician brave enough to say these people suck, the people who tolerate them suck and should leave or let economic forces drive them out, and I'll come to your cringe thing. Until then, you'll keep shoveling over money to losers, putting pussyhats into dumpsters.
In the 90s we were taught, never give out your name, your age, where you live, or anything that can be tied back to you.
IMHO nginx has never been a particularly "open" or friendly open source project. I don't mean to sound rude. I don't think open source contributors "owe" anyone anything in this regard. If you want to throw code over a wall and run away, that's your prerogative. However I do think Cloudflare's assessment is accurate and a real liability for them.

Some of the OSS papercuts with nginx:

- nginx has always used a "submit a patch to a mailing list" style of contributions. Many contributions, my own attempt a decade ago, just get ghosted: https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2010-Decembe...

- Neither the contributing page (http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html) nor the Mercurial repo (http://hg.nginx.org/) redirect to HTTPS!

- Tests were a later addition and in a distinct repo with a bespoke harness. I'm sure it has advantages, but it also takes extra work for contributors to figure out.

- They use Trac?! I loved Trac circa 2008 but had no idea it was still a thing. I can't even login to it without it timing out.

I don't want to nitpick an excellent project like nginx, but I think it's clear that easing third party contributions has never been a high priority.
All those call to actions are the bare minimum I'd expect of an IDE, nothing gives a unique selling point.

> It highlights source code syntactically and semantically, lets you easily refactor code, with a range of handy and powerful tools.

That's table stakes. Otherwise it's just notepad.

IntelliJ has me scroll down the page, but I then get a breakdown of what USPs IntelliJ thinks I a developer would be interested to know about, like it's refactoring and code completion, that it has specific integrations for frameworks. Testimonies, and new features are listed on that page. Not buried elsewhere.

VSCode, immediately shows that it's USP, it's extensions ecosystem, in the screenshot on the landing page and then covers some other minor USPs in brief segments.

Even Sublime Text, updated once every blue moon when Mars is in retrograde, understands that showing off USPs and the developer experience is key.

Now I used Netbeans for years, but only because I was exposed to it in the university computer labs. I've only had to go back to it to fix a JavaFX app we got landed with, and I can't say I was too impressed at how well it integrated with maven, having to ditch out and use the command line to get proper bundled builds to work.
He waived due diligence, so too bad for him.
The 55% compression ratio (or whatever the case may be) seems much more useful at the end (where it nearly doubles how long a consumer can listen before swapping media) then along the way (where it nearly doubles how much raw material a studio can capture before swapping media).
Are you experiencing significant performance penalties due to miner use of 1 lane PCIe risers?

I did some testing for a version of such a service in 2017 and it was determined the typical GPU miner configuration using x1 PCIe risers reduced I/O throughout and therefore performance of GPU hardware to the point of being practically useless for anything other than mining.

I have no experience with the characteristics of rendering, I/O, etc but it seems this also applies.
The Mind Map Book by Tony Buzan is a good place to start. As are his video interviews and lectures that can be found here and there.

https://youtu.be/VP-OoIqoEa4

Essentially they are all about creating a breadth-first outlay, when there are lots of things to cover, think about, or discuss. Then you can tack your additional needs on around that.

Tony was also obsessed with learning, memory, and memorization as general aims in life, so he tried to map natural patterns like sensory factors, fractals, and meaningful branches onto his mind map scheme. In his view, this merge with the mystically-natural was in effect a merge with the best one could achieve in taking notes.

IMHO however, those are some of the least interesting parts in terms of day to day note taking utility, and the capture of a broad set of ideas as if it's all owned by one central topic is basically fantastic enough for most uses. This is also known as a concept map.

So it doesn't cover all ads. Sponsored content is advertising. If youtube premium doesn't result in creators making enough to support themselves then it's feeding youtube for no net gain.

Any "pay for youtube directly" strategy MUST result in a creator 1) not needing to get external revenue from merch, sponsors, patreon, or anything like that. 2) not be so at the mercy of youtube algorithms and unaccountable decision trees that content match them to silence, remove their payment through "demonitization", and provide actual support to the creators so they can focus on creating instead of whipping up public shitstorms just to get basic support, and 3) reward creators for making higher quality content, instead of more addictive or "engaging" content.

Right now Youtube Premium isn't that service. What is that service? Floatplane and nebula are trying to be that service. Nebula specifically has nearly every high quality, "tech, science, invention, discovery, learning etc" content creators and it's like $100 a year. All of my favorite content creators are part of it.
