Hold on, I have no firsthand experience of cyclists because I don't ride a bike through the street? So all those times I have walked (and driven) around cyclists mean nothing at all because I'm not the one on the bike?

Right now, we have car-centric rules that apply to cyclists, and that is pretty unsafe for cyclists and drivers, but pedestrians are often the ones on the receiving end of cyclists' bad/unpredictable behavior today.

I agree that cyclists need different rules, but I also think that cyclists need to have those rules written down and follow them. If you have walked around NYC for any length of time, you will experience an area that has: (1) a lot of cyclists, (2) decent infrastructure and well-defined rules for cyclists, and (3) a lot of cyclists who break those rules when it is convenient. That is completely untenable.

Sure, I mean of course, who could disagree with that statement.

I'm curious. I don't know what field you are in, but if when you pursued a doctorate in the 90s, it had been the case that, say, only 5% of PhD graduates in your field wound up with a tenure-track job in your field (this is a realistic number for many fields/disciplines currently), would you have still done it? Figuring you'd be one of the 5%, or that you'd find a non-academic career path with the PhD instead if necessary? Or, armed with that perfunctory bit of research on the job market, would you have chosen an entirely different path?
Swiss have their own version in the western part, called now Toblerone line, built after WWI. Now a tourist attraction with hike paths around them, each block weighting 9 tons (and it runs 10km straight up to Jura mountains), the line basically cutting off westernmost part of country (basically Geneva) off the rest.

They don't treat it as something ancient though, there is also modern part of it integrated into road [1], but nothing I could notice on highway though. Bear in mind this would protect Switzerland from an attack from France, which these days seems... unprobable.

If we are going to have this debate than let's turn it into a three-way; which category should motorcyclist fall into, and why? They definitely have both the risk characteristics and manuverability of a bike, but also the speed and weight of a motorized vehicle. We already have special rules for them in the context of lane splitting & filtering, what about this one?

I have to pay about double that per month (in £) for electricity, even if I don't use any electricity at all! And the electricity I do use costs nearly that much per day, and that's without having to use any of it for heating or hot water, which is all on gas and costs about as much again.
Of course it is possible. You see, we already have tools that have to deal with binaries and let tell you query value of variables or call functions. They're called debuggers and binaries usually can contain some extra information (either inside the binary or as an extra file) that provides these debuggers with information about the ABI (and more) so that they don't have do parse the source code themselves. All of the big C (and C++) compilers can generate this "debug information".

Much appreciated my friend. I honestly didn't opt for the cheapest server because I wanted it to run well. I don't want to constantly fight for resources or worry about it. It was supposed to be fast and be able to handle traffic well.

And it is. It's not falling apart from the HN traffic and it has a lot of head room. Plus. It's doing 400k messages a day already easily.

Anyway. Thank you so much for your generosity. I am humbled and thankful for your support.
Not backporting every feature is not the same as being unsupported. Ask what worked on your machine when you bought it which no longer works with the n-1 release version of the APFS driver?

It is interesting to look at what changes between releases, which is why blog posts like this get attention but it’s not a problem report - notice how there isn’t anyone saying something like “I took an external drive and it didn’t work on my 2013 Mac?”

That is basically the entire shtick of rust. That data is "owned", and only the owner can write. You can "borrow" something for read access, but if something is borrowed it can't be written to.

There are of course workarounds for this like reference counted wrappers and so on.
Yeah, I find this almost unremarkable compared to the wide variety of other things humans already do. I think it's pretty obvious we don't have any specialized hardware for echo location like bats or dolphins do, but our brains are pretty big, and our hearing is actually quite good. We spend so much time talking about how this or that animal can hear ultrasonic sounds or whatever that we often end up with the idea that our hearing isn't very good, but even our base hardware is actually fairly good by animal kingdom standards, and it's hooked up to one heck of a brain on the backend. It's not surprising to me that we can bash together some echolocation with just the hardware we have and software we can learn.
Hehe, then you can’t possibly claim a mild price increase is mildly helpful.
Just labeling true things that you don't like as "malinformation" does not encourage more meaningful and nuanced discussions.

Others have already commented on food and energy, but the one that stood out to me was regional holiday accommodation - weekend getaway stuff. Feels substantially up from prior years - way about the 14.7% quoted. Almost like covid reset it to far higher.

Nixplay: Overwhelming Demand for Our Fundraise
> Being friendly and considerate takes relatively little effort

You snuck in a just. ;)

My brain doesn't have working emotional processing. It took me decades to build up a complex enough logic tree to handle social interaction. As a result, I find being friendly and considerate taxing. At least I enjoy the challenge communicating correctly, otherwise I wouldn't consider it to be worth the effort. (ADHD and short term rewards... ugh)
Ah, I completely missed the point that it was over the word "just", I thought it was over the actions in their entirety.

Agreed you could probably phrase it more delicately, though I do think the intent is justified.
It's definitely true you need to avoid giving unwanted advice to people you care about if you want to stay close to them. On the other hand though, I think the inability to talk openly about problems is why they don't get resolved in the end.
As a cyclist, I agree!

These laws are fantastic, and much needed. Obviously we should prioritize pedestrian safety first, which these laws are neutral towards.

But biking, especially electric assisted biking, is loads more efficient in both space and energy. If a place refuses to build bike infrastructure, this helps make roads better for cyclists.

I live in sort of the urban shoulder of Seattle, and my bike rides go through a mix of trails, protected lanes, and suburban streets filled with stop signs. Compared to driving, and accounting for parking time, biking is generally faster than driving for short trips.

Yes, you wouldn't get this running on an existing smart speaker (without first rooting it and some serious hacking).

If you'r in the Apple ecosystem and are using AirPlay with your smart speaker(s), it's however possible to also play synchronized audio across to your own DIY speaker setup, using another open source project.

https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync

Or you could of course choose to only use your old dumb speakers with this, and they will pop up as easily selectable sound output devices on all Apple devices connected to your network.

Or combine it (and librespot[2], owntone[3]...) with Snapcast to create a virtual speaker for your whole house that shows up everywhere.

Maybe the bias is like religious schooling. Some people are believers because they went to a religious school, and other people are atheists because they went to a religious school.
Yeah, to be honest, looking at this from the outside I would say this is highly, highly likely to all come permanently crashing down. First there was the questionable behaviour - SBFs odd deals with various collapsing entities back earlier in the year, then there was the leak of Alameda's balance sheet looking incredibly shakey, and now Binance has seemingly decided they're going to stress test FTX. Most real banks would struggle under this kind of pressure, hard to see how FTX will manage to cope.

I am completely disinterested in the "record profits" narrative, of course if the base cost goes up, and margin % stays the same you will have "record profits"

This is an emotional argument targeted the same crowd (63% of the US Population by recent survey) that believes stimulus checks should be used to fight inflation

I want to see what the profit margin % is, not what the raw profit is. I have yet to see anyone show a "record increase in profit margin" only headlines in currency not percentage

I believe chrisseaton is actually in the British Army?
>It's not UK, but I get the feeling this isn't so much inflation as opportunistic behavior

It's not "opportunistic behavior", it's basic market dynamics when supply outstrips demand. Here's a simplistic model: if the world oil supply was halved because all the oil wells in the middle east blew up, then any price increases will be pure profit for every other oil producer. It tempting to say that oil producers shouldn't raise their prices because their costs haven't increased, but not increasing prices lead to other problems. If oil supply was halved and demand remained the same, then there's going to be oil shortages. We tried that in the 70s (eg. oil price caps) and that led to massive lines at the pump. Today we have floating oil prices and gas lines basically never happen, short of in natural disasters.
Someone rode by you a little too close on a bicycle and now you want everyone to have to use less efficient forms of transportation, worsening the climate crisis? Wow, is all I can say.
On the other hand, the end user can only distinguish two kinds of recommendations: (1) what is most popular over a period, and (2) what is similar to your most recent few likes/buys.

Besides, in a social media app, you can do whatever you want. To overcome limitations in (1), you can show whatever view counts you want. To overcome (2), you can take a video recorded a week ago, whose similarity you learned in a batch 3 days ago, and show it to a new user with a tag that says "1h ago."
To your last point, at least some of the songs he used as examples do not have a chord progression. Probably none of them really do. In traditional western music theory, a chord has to have at least 3 distinct notes. A power chord isn't really a chord in a classical music theory sense so any song that is made up of just power chords and someone singing, or just screaming, roots or fifths over those wouldn't really be considered to have a chord progression. In some of the songs it sounds like they're only playing one note at a time.

In the video he says there are a lot of I-IV-V intervals in this genre of music. In a harmonic sense though they don't fit into any sort of chord progression. It's not a major I-IV-V, it's not a i-iv-V or a i-iv-v. It's just 3-4 notes played individually so they don't really function as a traditional definition of a chord progression which establishes or goes against a key. It's ambiguous.
The California DMV package used to say to do just that; wait until safe and then cross a bit into oncoming traffic.

It also says that when the lanes are too narrow, the bicyclist is supposed to "take the lane" but that never happens.

However the roads that are 40-50 mph are much wider than people think.
It can work with simplex channels if you have the public key of the receiver. Both parties just need to know each other's public keys to create encrypted communication. After exchanging the public keys, it can be one-way communication.

I guess it wouldn't work for a one-to-many channel though, just individual one-to-one channels.

I'm less optimistic about whether phrasing helps.

The message is not the meta-message.

The reason the examples in OP of 'just do...' irk is because the 'just do...' supposes to be helpful, but any sincere thought given shows that the suggestion isn't helpful.

Instead of giving sympathy/relatedness, it comes across as dismissing the problem. -- I think this can be down to miscommunication; but I think whether something 'sympathises with problem' or 'gives solution' is deeper than a phrasing.
Thank you for this positive story from the other side of 50.

I was always worried that I'd lose my edge the older I got.

But with age comes financial independence, emotional stability, experience with the cost of a decision, and the authority to make them instead of always be subject to the decisions of others.

I'm 37 and have never worked harder. I look forward to having more time to do spare-time projects and go back to teaching, but there's just so much I'd rather do for other people right now. I can't imagine it changes the next 20 years, only that my role gets more organizational.
> Weapon systems are not obsolete just because they can be defeated--warfare is not a case where one weapon system just totally creams everything else, but closer to a rock-paper-scissors scenario where nothing is truly dominant.

Not really. War is unbalanced and the metagame is strict. Weapon systems do get obsoleted if they can be defeated cheaply and easily. But, when you have weapons, you tend to use them. The Russian meta is to hide behind a wall of meat shields and blow shit up with artillery from further back. The Ukranian meta is to... blow shit up with longer range artillery and then when the enemy is so weakened, demoralized, underequipped, and dead; rush them with vehicles and artillery.

In this war long range artillery is the thing that matters. In a war against the US, you would see a lot of elements downplayed simply due to a capable airforce.

Also I think you meant Kharkiv
That's a cop out though, a "dog ate my homework" type argument. "I don't need to make a solid argument because they'll just ignore it if I do."

The problem with this logic is that it can't be disagreed with. If I accept the premise, then you're off the hook for evidencing your claim - like you say, honest debate is now impossible. If I don't accept the premise, then I'm clearly wrong, and therefore part of the group who put feelings over truth and knowledge, and therefore reasoned discussion with me is pointless.

But in neither scenario can I get a reasoned debate. Ironically, you've built a situation where your feelings trump logical argument. You only need to say "I believe science to be at threat" (or perhaps just "science is at threat", because "I believe" is always implicit in these sorts of statements without argumentation), and any response I give to you, positive or negative, will only confirm your position.

To me, the central claim here is that it is now unacceptable to teach that sex is purely binary. But as far as I can tell, medically speaking, sex isn't binary (although heavily bimodal), and biologically speaking sex as a binary is a useful model as long as you recognise the caveats. So I don't think the author's central claim holds true. Which to me breaks apart most of the argument. The rest of the article seems to be examples of students doing things that other people disagree with, which is surely the greatest prerogative a student has, and has been happening for millennia. If science is at threat because students are uppity then I think we have different definitions of the word "threat" (as well as, potentially, the word "sex").

On the daily, yes. However, periodically it makes sense to evaluate and check in on any and all habits. If there's a problem, you create new ones. You can't have the cognitive overhead of decision-making for everything all the time, which is why we have to change course for our auto-pilot as needed. Even for those things that matter more, you're not really going to be constantly making decisions about them.
The separate timing this law creates keeps cyclists apart from the rest of traffic.

Segregating cyclist traffic across space by using separate roads works best, but when the amount of cyclists is low, it turns out segregating across time works well enough.
Maybe, and maybe I need to consult a lawyer someday to get the facts straight. To tell you the truth my head hurts when I attempt to understand what these licenses say. Regardless, I intend this project to be true FOSS, the "finer detail" of which FOSS license it uses may change.

Oh no, you killed this with the scrolling capture thing. Consider that people are on mobile and experience the behavior at the bottom of the page as a straight up bug, until they realize they need to keep scrolling with their thumb to get what they previously assumed was a video to progress. I don't know who came up with this scrolling paradigm to begin with, but it's just a bad idea. Shame too, because the actual product/tool being showcased here looks like it could be pretty useful.
Well, they're not obligated to complain to me about their problems and then get upset if I engage in the conversation.
All that time and energy and a lump of concrete is enough to hold up 60 tons of mental.
Not saying it's not good to learn about how "just" might be perceived or avoided but I am surprised this article is getting so much support. I feel like in the environment I'm in "just" never implied anything negative (e.g. lack of understanding on the receiver's part, making it seem like they should have considered ... but didn't, etc.), rather:

- I don't yet understand why steps x, y, z are necessary. To me it would seem simply/naively doing ... might work but I'm probably missing something.

- Would an (objectively) simpler (though possibly not perfect) solution (which I'm just putting on the table here) suffice here?

- I think we can do ... here and it'll be fine. Should we / let's see if that works, and revisit ? / .

Sure, "just do it" would often be bad, indicating a variety of things like "stop dwelling on this or arguing, do what I say". Or "can you just quickly do this (thing I find trivial but don't understand at all) for me", but in the end it's the context that matters.

Like, I can turn this around as well. The word "don't" is negative and should be avoided at all cost. Better: "could we try ... instead of ..." (see submission title).

Then conclude "don't worry about it" should not be said.
Which to be fair is also true in some contexts but again, context!

EDIT: To be clear it is valuable for me to learn that usage of "just" could be problematic. That's important when not knowing the other party but among coworkers I also happen to have more of a relationship with than just one-off comments, these kind of word choices are not what make or break things. Especially in a diverse environment I assume everyone is acting in good faith and I would only let word choices affect me if the sum of my interactions with a coworker has been negative already and I "know" they are trying to incite an argument.
If the network effects are strong enough and he is able to put in place the rules necessary to elevate the level of discourse, this is a bold idea. Maybe they can't be as big as facebook, but 100 million users paying $20 a month (assuming he could raise it because the quality of conversation would be so high) would be more valuable than the current ad driven model, even with more users. If Musk can create a trusted high-quality content social network at scale, lots of people would join it.
You can, and satellite optics typically are a lot bigger than aerial photography optics, but the wavelength of light and the sizes of satellites you can afford to launch still impose a practical limit. For US companies, laws impose another limit.
