So, I don't mean to be a hater, and it looks like they've put a lot of effort into this from a technical standpoint, but this does not actually solve actual practical problems for actual urban mobility for any reasonable fraction of the population.

The aircraft need to take off and land from somewhere, and given that they're multi-ton objects with rapidly-spinning metal protrusions, that'll need to be designated spaces. Designated spaces mean rate limiting - think of a taxi queue outside an airport. These will not just be allowed to fly _anywhere_ - they will have approved flight paths, because there's no way we'll allow a substantial number of flying vehicles to just fly wherever without some kind of controls, and they'll absolutely require more space between them than cars on a highway get. They've got a range of 90 miles, which is nice, but what's the turnaround time look like? How long between flights does it take to get the air taxi back in the air?

This may be a fine way for the wealthy to avoid traffic between their tower and the airport, but there's absolutely no world where this makes any kind of genuine impact on traffic or urban transit broadly.
>Alleged experts are just spouting totally unfounded (and even contradicted by evidence) assertions and stating them as fact.

This is because their principal theory of demographics — that all group differences are entirely due to one group's use of power to undermine the other — is wrong. There are many factors involved in group differences, and they are all being completley ignored because of political correctness. Even to say that sexism sometimes only indirectly causes disparity in enmplpyment - as an example, teachers/mentors investing more time in boys - is becoming problematic because it posits that interviewers themselves may possibly not be overtly or implicitly sexist. The idea that not only the "system," but each member in the powerful group is out to get all minorities/women, is ridiculous and, as you say, hateful.
It has nothing to with the people who were given an unfair advantage based on skin color, it is the fact that skin color is used to give a preference that invalidates accomplishments.

A lot of what jQuery used to provide is now baked into browsers, so for the most part jQuery is redundant nowadays. You'd still see it show up probably because the cost of removing jQuery from older systems usually isn't worth the hassle.

I would question the notion that jQuery was considered a failure back in the day. jQuery was practically necessary if you didn't want to deal with cross-browser issues.

Also related: if it is a GET request, don't mutate state or perform an action on the server (except perhaps logging). But that is basic security too.

There are exceptions, but know why you are doing the exception. For example a landing page will typically have button-like links for call to actions, because people expect that.

> I hacked the program to NOP out the loop and just immediately capture.

This is a level of freedom that I wish we still had today. I'm not talking so much about the open source, "free as in speech" freedom, but more so about the "free as in simplicity" type. Nowadays it feels like I need valid TLS and a PGP signature just to host some service in my own home, the ecosystems around them having decided that the ability to tinker was (perhaps justly) a far second to security and correctness.

(For reference, I tried building and inheriting my own Terraform providers a few months ago. It's not possible to host them off plaintext HTTP, nor is it possible to skip TLS validity checks when downloading them, nor is it possible to install them without checking for a valid signature.)

> belief that it’s inherently better if someone raised in a non-majority culture has an equal chance to succeed

I think it's safe to say that equality of opportunity ship has long sailed. Far left is all about equality of outcome now.

But let's focus on equality of opportunity. It's an incredibly complex problem to solve. Take affirmative action for example: based on dose and implementation it could either help, or it could backfire. But any criticism of it will get you labelled as bigot or racist. "We're helping disenfranchised minorities here, how dare you criticize us?"

Once you believe you have the moral high ground, criticism is no longer acceptable.

I'm not labelling the other guy as virtue signaler because he seems capable of self-doubt and rational thought.
This is a problem across charities it seems - political activism is not necessarily bad, but when it's all generic woke stuff that has nothing to do with the charity's mission, it becomes really frustrating. The ACLU is another obvious example (as is Canada's equivalent the CCLA that I stopped supporting). But even a hospital I used to support has gotten into the business of pronouns and stuff, and regardless of the merit of that sort of thing, it's not anywhere near the top of causes people expect their hospital donations to go to. It would be nice to see charities much better stick with their mandates and not have this creep that happens where the current thing is somehow automatically an issue for them

> Also, stereotyping “Asian culture” as a culture which values education implies (in a racist way) that “other cultures” (hint hint) don’t value education.

No it doesn't. It implies that asian culture values education more than other cultures. Which has been shown in some studies. For example, this one from 2013 [1] showed that, when asked if a college degree was necessary for success, 70% of hispanics said yes, as well as 61% of asians, 55% of blacks, and 47% of whites. A more recent study from 2020 [2] asked if college led to more job opportunities, and 89% of asians said yes, as well as 86% of whites, 74% of latinos, and 69% of blacks.

You've inadvertently described the delineation between a DE and WM. WMs manage windows and that's it -- they're lacking by design.

When I was a teenager, I ran a BBS in my bedroom on an Atari 130XE with 6 disk drives hooked up to it (mostly containing single-file cracked games). I used a 64K ram disk to make the BBS not glacially slow.

Well the storage was crazy efficient, I kept checking to make sure it was recording what I thought it was. No way 50M hits could fit in a file that small...

Timestamps, especially north of 1000 hits/sec have many bits in common. URL, Referrer, and IP address where all just indexes. That worked really well because it was storage efficient, and made various queries like "who hit this URL", "who is our top referrer" and the like very efficient. Things that used to require ingesting a months worth of logs and spitting out a report would often be answered with a simple SQL query.

All in all using indexed columns was a huge win.
Agreed with @metadat, more information would be helpful.

Simple rule of thumb is the most you could expect would be around 12x proven revenues or savings. A strong negotiator would probably force you down to around 6x - 8x range.

The high costs to build could be a reason that it hasn't been done before. In most organizations, the business case upon project inception would have to show a significant gain from the cost of any project.

Another concern would be that your current employer might lay claims upon the results of your side-project if The Thing is in a related area. Of course, that depends upon your employer and the jurisdictions you are operating within.
This is mostly accurate from what I've seen, but if you were willing to go as far out from the Austin city center as Houston's natural sprawl goes, you would probably get comparable home prices.

In colloquial English, racism has the same meaning today that it did for decades before - a belief that humans' behavior depends on their race, and prejudice and/or discrimination stemming from such a belief.

The whole "prejudice + power" thing is a late social studies invention. Which is fine - different fields of study often have their own terminology, including using words in ways that do not directly match their regular meaning. What's not fine is people from those fields of study lecturing everyone else on how we're supposedly using it wrong. It's like biologists going around randomly yelling at people that tomatoes aren't vegetables whenever the subject comes up... except biologists don't do that.
> Dependent types make all that stuff part of the type system, so now "list of 3 warehouse_t" and "list of 4 warehouse_t" are no longer equivalent.

Dependent types allow you to make that stuff part of your type system. But of course, Idris (and any other dependently typed language) still has "List" as a datatype which does not encode the length as part of its type - and if it didn't, it would be trivial to define. And it's easy enough to convert between the two types, should there be any need to either increase or decrease the precision of your types at different points in your program, depending on the need. There may not be a need to know at a type level how many items are in your cart, but there's surely a value in knowing, for example, that sorting a list doesn't change the number of elements, or that matrix multiplication is well-defined.

You may argue that merely having the capability to use dependent types will lead to people abusing and overcomplicating things - but somehow we're already doing a very good job overcomplicating things with much simpler languages, e.g. Java reflection magic, or Ruby metaprogramming, so I'm not sure the "we shouldn't give people the rope to hang themselves" argument is valid.

This is a bit different from the monad example in that it's practically impossible to write Haskell without understanding monads, since you can't do IO without it.

I wonder if you could just simulate a skeleton and realistic maximum torque values for the joints and factor in mass and center of mass for each segment. Obviously that doesn't get you "how" to move each limb, but it at least could work to train a network GAN style so that the motion looks realistic. I feel like movements that are physically impossible are some of the most significant things that break immersion and that's something you can model with a physics engine to set some boundaries on training a model based off motion capture training data.

That is kinda of what is happening when someone is glued all day to social media but instead of a phone in your hand it is glued to your head.

Yes! This was actually my first shot at home servers as well - same rationale and all. Old Pentium laptops seemed to get thrown out every few weeks, easily ran Windows Server 2003 (I hadn't seen the light yet), were reasonably easy to repair, used very little power, and were practically silent in operation.

Someday I'd like to chronicle how my homelab evolved, but at the end of the "laptops" generation and immediately prior to the "VMware on a desktop" generation, I had an old DEC (Intel), an AST, and a Gateway laptop, all running under my parents' couch.
