Paris is brought up in conversations about improving cycling and cycle infrastructure because it has really rapidly increased the number of journeys done by bike. This has mostly happened since the start of the pandemic, and has also coincided with creating many more bike lanes.
I'd die. I think I'm usually all feelings and no will.
More than Steam / Proton / Steam Deck?
A small laptop with an ortholinear keyboard is high on my wishlist. I don't have a 3d printer capable of printing something this size, so in lieu of this, I'm setting my hopes on the MNT Pocket Reform.
I don't think it makes much of a difference whether you can read the code because even if you can read the javascript, it's automatic so it can be different on the next request.
If we want to be able to trust the web, we have to get rid of the automatic download and execution of arbitrary script code.
I wouldn’t advise those to average athletes.
The energy shortage might be a great catalyst to walkable/bikeable cities in Europe this year.
Why would it be impossible? Everything about a human being can theoretically be deterministically simulated.
People want lots of things until they realize it'll take something away from cars. Paris won't be as bad as the US is but it's still there.

I see a lot of cities that measure bike lanes in total length, which misses the mark in two ways:

1. It often includes lanes that are shared with cars. These shouldn't count except on side streets. Basically anywhere where the speed limit is <25kmh; and

2. Focus needs to be given on contiguous cycling routes. It doesn't matter if you have 1000km of cycle routes if no section is longer than 2km and they're only connected by highways you have to share with cars.

Of course Amsterdam is the gold standard here and it shows how much you can do without necessarily taking up more space (eg the intersection design that puts cyclists in front of cars, which is much safer).

In a city like Paris having physically separate bike lanes will often mean taking away parking spaces or lanes of traffic. That's where the resistance will be.
> what I feel are the worst parts of the mythologized "Russian soul."

I think I understand. I like reading postcolonial literary criticism because it asks us to consider any kind of national literary identification with skepticism. So I gotta ask: when you were growing up, what American literature did you encounter and what did you think of it?

FWIW I think I like Gogol's and Maxim Gorky's short stories most of all the Russian lit I've read.
Your examples are very illustrative, but I would argue that both phrases suffer from being too generic. I wish that there wasn’t such a push for “one word” CTAs. Examples of alternatives I’d advocate for depending on context:

“Create an account”

“Subscribe to mailing list”

“Submit contest entry”
I can accept that it's boring if you don't enjoy the gameplay, but it is anything but formulaic, by any measure. It can seem trite and faux-deep, what with seeming to have very predictable twists and name-dropping philosophers, but the twists you think you see coming are not the actual twists, and the point it's trying to make is actually meaningful and human, not some silly sci-fi trope.

It does take far too long on the setup to get to its actual points - especially if you don't enjoy the game-play or weirder grandiose moments (This cannot continue, Become as gods etc).
It's interesting to watch. I was in Paris 10 years ago and it felt very car-centric/bike-hostile. Hopefully I'll get back in the next 5 and see how much it has changed.
Good, they can go be angry in the suburbs or motorways.
>Is this disconnect present in other countries?

To ruffle some feathers, yes. And this in the country that always seems to be the first example given: The Netherlands.

Don't get me wrong. Relative to most countries, NL is great for cyclists. Specifically Amsterdam and Utrecht are great for a car-free life, as well as some other cities. Areas close to train stations, connected to any bigger city, tend to do well too.

That's about where it ends. Public transport took humongous hits and roads are being expanded. Why? Because despite everything, car usage is going up and traffic jams are once again increasing. Specifically on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when most people are expected to be at the office. Since public transport is increasingly worsening, most people will simply take the car all the way rather than doing a bit by bicycle and then using the bus/train.

Housing prices make the above even worse (more people have to live outside locations ideal for cycling, PT or a combination), and the government is actively playing into car ownership. I hope I don't need to explain why propping up individual car usage makes building more housing even more problematic (hint: you need to park them, for one).

"But Amsterdam is doing great! But Utrecht is doing great! But I can get from Almere to Amsterdam really easily!" Sure, they are. Now please, overlap Paris, London, or any other big city on top of the Netherlands. Achieving a 100% cyclable Paris is a far bigger achievement than Amsterdam and Utrecht combined. And the writing is on the wall what happens when cars are more affordable and commutes by motorized vehicle are 1 hour a day minimum: car usage continues to go up.

This isn't to be discouraging either. Rather, it's to show that governments can't slack off and take the easy path out. The easy path leads to congested roads, traffic jams, frustrated drivers, mass pollution and a highly inefficient use of ground area.
"The organizers believe that text compression and AI are equivalent problems."

Are they? Not only interfacing with human-readable media is half of the story, optimizing for size isn't the same as optimizing for context.
I do think it's possible that it's simply a matter of not enjoying it, but I also struggle with keeping up positive habits that I do enjoy as well. Figuring out how to get started and keep starting on daily habits is probably the hardest part of it more than the actual doing of it.

I don't really aspire to do everything that Evan or other GTD enthusiasts do, just small parts of it. Breaking down tasks especially and having a list as a source of truth would be really helpful, but I haven't yet figured out a good way of doing that.
> Paris is pretty flat too

someone here never tried to climb Montmartre (e.g, there are many steep hills inside and around Paris)
I do not think that turning HN into a bunch of listicles is neat.

Maybe you and I disagree about what is or is not neat. That's okay.
Progress is fast (much better than when Vélib was launched in 2007), most arrondissements (except maybe 15th/16th) are convenient to get around, the center has some huge lanes that bode well for the future, and there's roadwork at just about every large intersection that hasn't been upgraded yet.

> "All IP belongs to the company we’ll form. This is unilaterally severable by either of us for no compensation, after which we’d both be free to go our own way and do whatever we want, related or not to this idea.”

Please don't do this - it's way too simplified. Who gets the company assets and liabilities when you split? You can't just split a 50/50 company; each asset and liability has to be given to one or the other, including the company itself.
If this thing can clean the kitchen, load/unload the dishes, and do laundry it will be huge. That seems realistic based on the demo.

I'd never criticize the tools someone is using if they can produce quality work. But, if you're using a weird tool and cause a lot of issues for me and others on the team, it is a problem.

How would I even know what tool you're using, unless you mention it or I have a reason to ask?

Yes and no. Renewables themselves don't suffer much at failure, but the grid itself has to pay a quite heavy cost if it can't balance demand and supply. The European grid has had several server incident where grid were close to break down from sudden imbalance between supply and demand, and if a crash had occurred the cost of such failure would be massive. As reported, those failures has increase in both frequencies and severity in correlation with increase dependency on renewables.

It all depend on how one want to perceive the system. A wind turbine struck by lightning might not propagate too much, but a poor weather prediction can have massive propagation for the system as a whole.
I was interviewed for YC and not accepted for the reason that I didn’t have a cofounder. The rejection email said that otherwise it was very close. I was obviously a little disappointed to be rejected, but (1) I’d had experience of co-founders before - they create as many problems as they solve, and (2) after some reflection after the YC rejection, I ended up bootstrapping the business and I’ve been able to create something free of the stresses of investors and more aligned to my own personal objectives.
Not just that, but Jwst 's time is at an absurd premium, while sofia' s less so, allowing less filtering of what it's time can be used for, indeed having more than one infrared telescope is better than just having one
It really isn’t that bad unless you’re a total snob.
Many left, others were laid off. Some remain. But they had some world class engineering talent (like in their optics - real domain experts they brought from other places and industries). The goals were unrealistic, the product was out of touch with the market (lots of money raised is going to do that 9/10 times), the top management were professional corporate creatures (not in a good sense). But some of the engineers were very good - just sent on the wrong mission.

It’s not required, we just don’t allow anything else because it would no longer be interesting at all. That’s the point. Same why we don’t watch grandmasters play computers; they lose. But humans vs humans is still a good watch.
Consider a BR game.

100 players per game.

0.1% being cheaters means 0.01 players per game are cheating. If you play 100 games, then maybe a cheater will be in your game. In fact I have played 10K games in one BR and 2K in another, and these stats seem about accurate.

I have had far more games ruined by bugs due to irrational people being the developers.

I also beat most of these cheaters since they don't know how to play the game and they can just be outplayed.

Congratulations on proving how your outrage is over nothing. And your intrusive "fixes" are over nothing.

downvote why? out of arguments?
This is the answer to the question “why can’t we get rid of passwords?”
Here are my thoughts about intervention.

Drugs like semaglutide are coming on the market and may be the best hope.

Some people succeed with diet and exercise but whenever these have been tested as an intervention they don’t make a big difference for most people in the long term.

A decade ago there was enthusiasm for surgery but I think the long term results of that are not that great either.

There is probably some noxious factor in the environment, which is further subdivided into chemicals (glyphosate, PFAS) none of which have a smoking gun and psychological stress. Every social worker I know is morbidly obese, and both long haul truckers and police officers are badly affected. One of these groups never sleeps in their own beds, the others are at ground zero for social decay.

Geographically obesity correlates to people voting Republican in the US and in time the obesity crisis kicked into high gear during the Reagan administration which set the shape for policy in future administrations of either party.

“Dear God please let us get one more round of funding before this sham collapses”
I've written another article that explains how we raised seed round here: https://blog.tooljet.com/raising-vc-funding-for-open-source-...
He's an AI researcher, tell him to read 2001 by Arthur C. Clake. He doesn't need to read "the classics" he needs to read something proximal to his interests and then figure out which strands he'd like to follow from there.

"The Classics" are at this point literary archeology: they've influenced a lot, but unless you're actually inspired to follow that chain back they're just going to wind up seeming "samey" to things that came after because they were already heavily referenced, extrapolated, deconstructed and their essential ideas endlessly debated.
Yes, why bother when they emulate Windows APIs.
> The article itself never claims women invented emoji, nor that they are specifically feminine.

It does, it is included in a paragraph about things that women created/popularized.

> It's honestly weird that you're so hung up on this.

Yeah I'll admit that. I was thinking about it when writing my comment. I think I have seen too many 'just-so' stories about Japan and become hypersensitive to them.
"Drug dealers" are the result of regulatory failure - the war on drugs, and a failure of government to provide proper healthcare. People want drugs - no doubt there are some unscrupulous, or evil drug dealers, but it's certainly not a question of some evil cabal poisoning society, it's rational market actors working to meet a demand. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I've had great results upscaling with various versions of the open source RealESRGANx4 which I usually just run via Visions of Chaos (which also supports lots of other upscalers, stable diffusion, disco diffusion, and hundreds of other AI related tools).

I agree with him for the most part. However, enjoying something while wasting time is its own reward.
I was contacted on Linkedin once by a guy claiming he wanted me to interview for jobs pretending to be him because his English wasn't good.

I nopped the f out, so I don't have any more info. Maybe it would lead to a similar scam.
Authorization and authentication. Like it or not Microsoft Active Ditectory or Azure AD (basically the cloud version) works with everything and it’s kinda the only single-signon/shared login solution for enterprises. You can build something yourself with LDAP, Kerberos and maybe Keycloak, but why bother when you more or less need AD for Windows and Exchange anyway.
How do the scammers benefit from this? Do they pay people to do well in technical interviews to get the job, then "outsource" the day-to-day job to someone else who is not as technically skilled and/or may not meet the citizenship requirements, then take a cut of the salary in the process?

Around the time some bees moved into my house I did a lot of reading about them and was amazed that they are so prevalent in the tropics and particular Africa.

We lived with them for a few years and eventually they moved out and a beekeeper we consulted with set up some hives in our wet meadow which produce some of the best tasting honey I’ve ever had.

Yes, but this was something obvious from the outset from an engineering standpoint. I would never consider requiring phone verification for my games. I don't even require an email account as lots of games do (because of cargo cult) these days.

The Western software development bubble (largely the demographic of HN) is full of self centered people / ignorant people who have never seen hardware aside from a Mac or a $2K Windows box, who buy a new phone literally every year, who claim to be saving the world. On the contrary what you get is web browsers being too slow to run on hardware of someone who lives outside the West and being banned from the game because outside the West you can't conform to the game's asinine requirements. The irony on top of the irony is that the ones who think of themselves affluent for this are not at all: cell phones and their protocols are badly engineered technology.
I think we’ve been lulled into some false sense of expectation that the web exists as a place for “open source code” to be run. As if the fact that you can view the source of any page is any purveyor of that.

If that’s your definition of transparency, then perhaps learning to read assembly would give you the same comfort. In fact, there’s a lot more binaries distributed with symbols intact than unminified JS.

Or, to put it another way, if you could right click -> view disassembly of any binary on your computer, how would that be any different than today’s web?
i've learned that anything not stored in the repo itself is ephemeral. org decides to leave github? hope you did a good job migrating all that. same goes for issues, wiki, etc.

It does a lot of things, but broadly the thing people know it most for is handling roles, permissions and groups for your organization. It’s often the source of truth for things like access and provisioning. Pretty core part of the organization.

I was discussing the implications of reliability on the cost of components.

The grid is also a resilient system where individual parts can fail independently. Weather prediction is correlated, but has no effect on the cost of individual parts.

vim is also super extensible with plugins - one of the biggest reason to use it.
I wasn’t saying OpenVMS uses slash. I was saying it puts the directory name before the file name instead of after it, as S/38 (effectively) does. (I also mentioned MVS dataset names, which use dot instead of slash as well.)

Interesting…maybe we should normalize/de-stigmatize Dev tooling companies to have a ceo who is an eng for the first ~ 3 yrs, and then hiring a replacement (maybe even some early “vp of product person”)

There are probably so many good ideas that devs have, but they don’t have enough interest in being a ceo of a big unicorn company, but understand the problem and can get a prototype up with no red tape
> Many including myself did try to warn this was always the risk of such a reckless response to Covid, but I suppose it's too late for that now.

It's still hard to fully discuss the overreaction to Covid in many forums without getting shouted down for wanting to kill Grandma, but there are people out there who don't seem to fully grasp that actions taken to try and solve problems can have drastically negative consequences. You can't just spend money you don't have indefinitely without paying the piper and screwing yourself down the road.

Personally, I fear that the emotional reaction to Russia/Ukraine is turning the same way, perhaps with far more dangerous long-term consequences.
