Does anyone know why we don't use audio for this sort of thing? Do we? I might have just missed it, not a driver.

I am aware of navigation/GPS of course but I mean for these sort of snippets of road info. The only non-GPS audio info I've heard is the bleeps in some cars that say there's a speed camera coming up.

Car: "40"

Brain: Aight speed limit is 40 now.

Car: "Give way"

Brain: I need to yield at the next junction.

It could even auto-pause if you're applying brakes or indicating / turning the wheel to avoid distracting you.

I know (or at least media has told me) that airplanes do use audio for this sort of info, wondering why it never made it to cars.

E: lol doubt I'll get a response, for some reason this post went from #2 to like #50
I would like to point that the Spanish ex-monarch practically _betrayed_ Spain to the Saudis (he's currently self-exiled there) and he still has a non-negligible amount of support in the population.

I find "support of a monarchy" an indefensible position. Bonus points if your only argument is "well the current monarch is kind of nice and therefore we're not in a hurry to remove him" because that's literally one rotten apple away of exploding in your face (see Spain) and by then it's likely too late.
APL, I guess?
Here's a thing: when technology is designed in a way that makes it hard to work within the bounds of the legal system, it's usually the case that the legal system wins, not the technology. The view of the legal system is focused around people and their intentions, regardless of how much you try and confuse things with technology.

They will most likely view the smart contract and its wallet as one entity, despite that being technically not how it works technologically. Because as many people have tried and failed to figure out over the years, laws are interpreted by juries and judges, not computers. Technological roadblocks are things they don't have any problems jumping over, and deliberately trying to add roadblocks like that with the imagination they're untouchable also tends to piss them off even more.
> I suspect the moment Canada loses protection of the King is the moment the US invades.

Lol. No offense to the memory of Queen Liz, but she could not have done a thing had the US decided to do something stupid like that. That said, just the notion is preposterous. The US would have lost much more than the Queen’s approbation, in the grand scheme of things.
Your association isn't what regulators are concerned with. They're concerned with the intent of the creator and operator of the service, which is why he's the one who's been arrested.
I'd rather have a monarchy than a president. I live in a country where we have a PM and president too which is elected by the parliament (which means it's just another random career politician so it might as well be Joe from the corner shop). At least to me European constitutional monarchy always symbolized stable democracy. There is a reason you find them in the rich western European countries like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands etc.
Considering they recently publicly decided to be British, they're about as British as you can be.

I think his breakdown of the value chain is a bit redundant, and can more effectively be factored into: Creation, Distribution, and Consumption. With this framing, it is apparent that distribution has almost always been the target of major optimizations until AI came along:

- Before writing, ideas had to be distributed orally.

- Before the printing press, distributed copies had to be written by hand.

- Before the internet, distribution required thousands of physical copies to be produced.

That's not to say that we've ignored creation. We've built hundreds of tools to make producing content easier: word processors, Photoshop, and even TikTok to name a few. It's just that AI has recently taken a huge leap in this area. For that reason, I don't think "unbundling" is the right metaphor here.
I enjoy his work, though I occasionally find contradictions. He says the US has favorable demographics through having plenty of millennials and suggested the UK was not so lucky, but they look roughly the same to me?

I believe that humans and human intelligence is pretty limited.

We are overcoming our limitations by using abstractions and tools. People today are not significant smarter than people 5000 years ago. We just have better tools which allow us to create better tech which in turn allows us to create better tools. And we keep going.
...Because money laundering is illegal.

No one's going to advertise openly to the public "Assassination services here! Just call 1-800-KIL-THEM!"

And no one's going to put in public documents "we set up this company in order to facilitate money laundering."
Yeah this has also been my experience more or less. Senior engineers do get some tasks (scope the work, design the implementation, etc) but generally "building systems" is in the purview of the principals and architects. I've had some companies that let seniors do more as they get closer to their next rank but generally these opportunities are fairly isolated and triple checked by the actual shot callers. At senior you're still a code monkey. Just typically very experienced and capable of managing a small team of juniors.

> To them, creating software is just one of the steps. First of all, they question whether the software needs to be built in the first place. They ask what problems would it solve and why it’s important to solve them. They inquire who will be using the software and on what scale. They think about where the software would run and how they’re going to monitor whether it’s working properly. They also decide how to measure whether the software is actually solving the problems it was supposed to solve.

Based on this definition I would suggest the author is using "senior" as a modifier to include all positions above junior rather than the typical titling. Moreover, the amount of times I've been given any time at all to actually think about the system things will run on, or how we will determine if it's performant, I can count on one hand. If this is the author's experience he is very lucky to have a company that cares about end-to-end performance.

Thanks for the correction! I also think that both "in the head" and "on paper" work is necessary, of course, and I also think that Feynman did both, like everyone else. But we know that he often presented himself in the way the Gell-Mann quote describes him; he purposefully cultivated his image as a genius who can solve complicated problems in his head in seconds (if I recall correctly, he "pre-solved" problems, waited until the problems came up in a conversation and came up with the memorized solution after five seconds of "thinking").

We cover constraint satisfaction problems in Chapter 3 of the Classic Computer Science Problems series [0] including a very simple backtracking solver and several examples. Most of the chapter from the Python book is available for free, but it's also covered in the Java and Swift books. [1]

I created a short introductory video to the code as well. [2]

Backtracking solvers for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) are a subset of the world of constraint programming, as described in the linked Wikipedia article.

I'm trying to parse what you are saying here.

You removed the CDN and the site got slower?

How do you know your site was the one that was fast or just the CDN? IE, the CDN should have added a lot of extra hops and made things slower.

To me, this implies the rust code is very poor at opening and closing connections, so the CDNs keep alive is pasting over that issue.

>When you ask “why?” questions you always get religious/philosophical answers

No, that's silly. Most things have a reason. "Why" is a useful word in English outside of religion and philosophy. You only get to the end of the chain when you hit the limits of theoretical physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36GT2zI8lVA

How do you think artists “higher up the food chain” got there?

Inevitably they started on the lower rungs and worked their way up.

If these tools displace the need for lower level/apprenticeship like work, then it won’t be a surprise if later on we have less quality artists who weren’t able to get the necessary experience early on.

> To the contrary, we are so ideologically invested in the purity of our democracy that much of what the other party does seems like a threat to it.

I don't understand this. You are explicitly not defending democracy here and instead just argue for partisan talking points. Democracy as a topic is pretty absent here, nevermind its supposed purity. It isn't really a defense of democracy if you haven't even started.

> For the poor person inflation sucks but you’re not holding onto the money to it depreciates less, unless your hourly rate isn’t going up enough to keep up.

This is the real problem. All of this newly-created money is put in the hands of the finance sector first, and wages are therefore much slower to inflate than financial assets (including housing).

If there really is a benefit to the money creation, we should put the new money in the hands of real people first. We don't obviously, because people aren't in charge, capital is.

Maybe now we can finally get the FDA to ban glyphosate (Round-Up) like they do in the EU. It is currently impossible to purchase oat cereal in the U.S. that doesn't have some level of glyphosate in it. Cheerios is loaded with it.

So something sold as "heart healthy" is loaded with obesogens and will contribute to obesity.

Correct assuming you maintain documentation that keeps the evidence chain intact and produceable on request.

Agreed. Every time I've tried to switch to using plain text I always encountered cases where additional formatting made my message easier to read and understand.

I'd be perfectly happy with Markdown or likely RFC 1896 as someone else mentioned.
Willingness over your lifespan to reduce car use is not merely "because they're getting old", but rather directly correlated with a city's existing transit infrastructure. I've been able to spend a few weeks here and there in London or other transit-dense cities, and I just about never desire a car there, but I do in the states.

Government leaders in the states can't imagine this reality or, if so, can't imagine it changing sufficiently in their lifetimes to invest the political capital in. The US will never change.

Money crimes should be prosecuted and solved at their start points and endpoints, not within the financial system. Failure to adhere to this standard is why we no longer really control the money in our bank accounts anymore. Want to send a wire to your friend living in the middle east with a sketchy name? Might get flagged. Want to purchase something out of the ordinary for you online? Your debit card will probably block it at least at first. Law enforcement has become lazy and we have as well. Instead of solving actual crimes, we just use ML algorithms to find sketchy-looking transactions and then block them and investigate later maybe. This has significantly reduced our privacy and freedom at a much higher cost than the purported gains. This is the whole motivation behind the original push into crypto in the early 00s. We need something not beholding to any government that is as good as cash but digital, and the US gov sanctioning a mixer is just proof of this dire need.
Squashing the whole development in a single commit will lose granularity though, and make it hard to review the changes later. You could just use quilt

Ireland is ranked as the most food secure country in the world along with the United States.

I'm curious about the methodology as this map marks Ireland simply as 'Food Insecure' with vertical lines. It would be like marking Norway 'Under Developed' -- it just screams something major has been overlooked.
Doing a tough 1 hour exercise is not the same as being on your feet all day. You may be able to offset doing nothing all day with a burst of effort. You may not. People who are moving constantly are very rarely fat.

I cannot find their article on professions. I’d be very skeptical. In general being poor in America means a terrible diet is likely so that’s a huge part of the equation. It seems very unlikely that exposure to endocrine disrupters varies enough to explain the differences. People in poverty will have a huge variance in exposure but the obesity rates are high across the board.

Especially if you see something like… idk, factory workers being called high exposure having high obesity but lower obesity than something like a dmv clerk that’s totally sedentary but at worst median level exposure.

Some groups will get HUGELY more exposure to some chemicals. I’m not convinced at all they represent the fattest groups. Which is a strong counterpoint if one is trying to claim this is the strongest effect.
I love this kind of political writing, unique and incredibly naive.

There are of course many breaking changes that could improve the language itself, but in my opinion the attention of maintainers is best spent on improving the ecosystem--while a 2.0 release may be exciting, I've been very pleased to see the language steadily improve with 1.x releases.

> EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION is well-defined & memory safe. That's just a crash, same thing that happens when Helix crashes because it called .unwrap() on an error.

Just because both of those things cause a crash doesn't mean they are the same.

Crashing due to an incorrect .unwrap() is a bug in the business logic of the application, the developer made a wrong assumption.

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION is a crash due to a memory issue that a memory safe language would have prevented.

> It's correctness that affects the user experience, not memory safety.

Memory safety is part of correctness, your program can't be correct if it crashes with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
I'm a huge proponent of text/plain.

There was a long-ish thread on the mutt mailing list recently, which open my narrow mind a bit.
Html formatted mails are not a question of personal preference. Exchanging Mails with other people also includes supporting their way of dealing with mails.

So since a long time I convert text/html to plain text in order to be able to read that. Since recently, I also send a simple multipart mail with both text/plain and text/html. The conversion script it a simple 10 lines python markdown script. All done and all happy.

In particular, it makes my mail more readable on any kind of display; e.g. narrow phone or wide monitor.

I'm still happy to converse only via text/plain, like here.

Senior Engineer is one of the most abused terms in the industry. Depending on the company it can mean anything from "literally not a novice" to "leads the delivery of complex systems involving several teams". Without context the term has become almost useless.
Intermediate to what? They own the software, hardware, and are moving toward owning the network and billing relationship.. Intermediate between consumers and app builders maybe, but as they build more features into their own devices (e.g. Apple Maps), even those relationships are being brought into the ecosystem.
As heard in the Zoom board room: "We'll buy Keybase, but actually do little with it, and then sow brand confusion with our collaboration/chat product by re-naming it similar to one of our biggest competitor...no one will be able to beat us on the market with all of our zig-zagging! Hear hear!..." /s
The same revolutionary movement resulting in workers gaining state power is necessary for any of those changes. In practice it is the same struggle and it's useful to build as large an alliance as possible.
Similar story for me. I went to college at Auburn, which is located in eastern Alabama about 20 miles from the Eastern/Central timezone border. Half of our broadcast TV stations came from both Columbus, Georgia (Eastern) and the other half from Montgomery, Alabama (Central). You had to remember which station you were watching and where it was from whenever a time was listed.

you see, there is "EVIDENCE" in support of cigarettes causing cancer but instead of banning the sales, governments milk it for taxes, the companies say "if someone is willing to pay, why not us" and the blame is on the user.....

the same thing with alcohol and weed and stuff like that. Most of the world has grown around alcohol and even when EVERYONE knows its not healthy for the body, people still consume it, "its traditional".

if people want to not own stuff, want netflix style monthly payments to have their whole life managed by apple, good for these people because then they dont have to pay individually for a bank, for a cable tv, for a cell phone company, for internet, for transport, for education, for security, for netflix, disney, hbo, prime and all that.

This is one reason I think most contracts for goods for future delivery should be public knowledge.

Ie. "Mr Smith purchased 68 tons of steel for delivery in New York June next year for $200k".

Then anyone wanting those same goods and willing to pay more can contact Mr Smith and make an offer to buy the contract.

I believe such a system would make the economy substantially more efficient, at the cost of privacy. More knowledge makes a better market. And more knowledge also increases tax revenues because under/overdeclaring goods values becomes much harder.
