But when United Kingdom will split, what will Britain use?
Thanks for putting this concisely.

I used to live in a small apartment and walk to work. Then when my wife and I both had to work from home, we ended up renting a big house because we still needed offices to work. Maybe there are some jobs & personal situations that allow one to wfh without additional space and costs - really though it's just shifting space around, often very inefficiently.
I was thinking mostly about outside of Japan, where the same discourse of "why do you need a car for?" has beginning to show up more and more. I need a car because otherwise having some outside activities with my dog is close to impossible, but I would love to have the possibility of not having to have a car while still giving my (medium-sized) dog a decent outdoor life.

> I live in Tokyo; there's almost no large dogs here. Having a large dog is a luxury.

Which I find sad that we've basically internalised and made it a normalcy. The same and even more so goes to having kids. Having a dog (or a pet, more generally) shouldn't be a luxury, because it gives one a better life (having kids even more so, but as I don't have any I can't comment on that).
This is awesome, wish there was a way to turn it on and off from Control Center without having to set it to triple-click side button (would prefer to avoid accidental activation from the button but still have easier access to this feature)
It has a pressure sensitive mouthpiece. Does it need the keys near the mouth to count?
Maybe I'm way off here, but my initial impression of this test was to check if you could accurately recognize errors in existing designs.

I interpreted "correct" as having correctly identified the example of an existing design, as I imagine I would see if I opened the corresponding apps/websites.

> So within 5-10 minutes, your train has arrived, people have disembarked, you have boarded, and your train has left

Isn't this pretty standard SOP for how long-distance trains stop at intermediate stations around the world?

I've recently travelled in Germany and Austria and their ICE and Railjet trains, respectively, have stops of only 2-3 minutes at a majority of intermediate stations.

Am I the only person who has no idea what this is about? Is it trying to imply society as a whole is a cult? Weird take, but ok?
I think the independent status of the City of London is grossly exaggerated and not really comparable with the Channel Islands.
I'm not excluding the idea to allow the user to choose between the two. But the language must remain simple and relatively high level so I'm wary of going down that road.
I hate these things already, but putting them on a car that starts over $100,000 is just asinine. No thank you!
Thanks for this. It sent me down quite the rabbithole.
> Going back to my physics example, all the variables in a physics problem are actually of the same type, float

This is why some people recommend a practice I've forgotten the name of, where they defined a new type that maps to language type. So type Mass could just be a float, but you know better how to treat it.

> The reason not to live in the suburbs is a long commute to your office. Living in the city might make a commute walk-able. So a commute dis-incentivizes suburban sprawl.

Not anymore. Most jobs in a city are not in the center, they are in the suburbs as well. If you want a short commute you have to live in the suburbs.

Note that in most cases (US - other countries are different!) there are zero places to live within walking distance of the office. Suburbs don't have mixed use zoning so it is illegal to live near where you work. While city centers might allow it (not all do) in theory, in practice rent is so high in the city center that common people cannot afford to live within walking distance of a job there. At least the city center has a form that supports transit, but you still can't walk there from home.

Note that I said form not not density. Suburbs have plenty of density to support transit, but the way things are built mean a transit can't get to enough people.
In northern states people have to leave their heat on during the day to avoid plumbing issues or to keep pets comfortable.
Definitely USA and Europe are built differently. I'd class most European city centers are medium-high density where smaller towns are still quite dense. Compare this to NYC where I am and Manhattan is higher density, but 2 hours drive away its normal to have a 4+ bedroom house on a big piece of land with bears and deer roaming around for a quarter of the price.
Well, listen, as Eleanor Roosevelt has said, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." I think it incredibly disingenuous to equate a literal debate about appropriate medical terminology around childbirth to anything less than that.

I support trans rights; what I dont support is the intellectual terrorism that underlies the notion that just because someone has a legitimate difference of opinion on appropriate language use, they are "treat[ing] people like shit" or worse.
I'm electric engineer by first education, and have more than ten years exp in field.

Must say, in many cases, these numbers are not important, in good schemes acceptable +-10%, so 26 could be 23.4-28.6.

Even more, cheap resistors marks have accuracy +-5%.

Exists precision resistors with accuracy +-0.5%, or even 0.1%, but high precision applications, typically used some very different technologies. For example, are high quality multi-turn variable resistors, laser cut resistivity pads, created with high cost materials or even rare-earth materials.

And many current applications use some sort of very high quality reference, in many cases, based on totally different physical principle, and scheme constantly adjusted with closed loop.
Good point on the browser, so you'd need to go through and uninstall old browsers (if you can) and change the default browser.

I agree, seems like this is prolonging things and just delaying the inevitable.
It may not be an option for you based on your other tech choices, but I feel like the Apple Watch excels at all of the things you mention here except, obviously, battery life vs. a conventional nonsmart watch.

I supposed UX can be a matter of taste, but I've found it's simple enough to set up an Apple Watch such that I have rapid access to the features and functions I need in a given situation.

In particular, outdoor usage -- even in bright sun -- is pretty great. I've done no small amount of hiking with mine, and use it often when cycling. Readability is fine!
Please take your outrage to a more appropriate social media site.

Regulations vary wildly by state and I don't live in one with such regulations. Moreover, labeling only works if the gov't is spot testing and inspecting production facilities.
Yes, but those who can't WFH and used to commute by train may find themselves having to use a car again. Not to mention that this will force the use of cars for everything else, in addition to work commute.
Can you explain more about how it works? I looked but couldn’t really tell.
I also like brew. The whole UX pipeline is smooth, and I don't mind if it takes an extra 30 seconds to install packages (which doesn't happen often).

The brewfile (as someone mentioned) is super convenient, and the fact that I can use the same package manager for mac and linux is nontrivially awesome.
Cheers. Nice to see LG in there. I got two 4K 60Hz screens from them and they're quite decent. I paid for them the same amount these 144Hz screens cost nowadays (around £500 each)
You're making a lot of generic guesses and assumptions. Do you really think nobody has ever thought of this?
Actually, the only compiler interface that can claim to call itself a standard is POSIX c99. Everything else is too volatile to be a standard.
Thanks. I meant more with respect to users spamming forums - to send a message to a particular forum do I just have to know of its existence? Or is it that each user only sees messages from its contacts on each forum?
This is like "free shipping to the US" and then you learn that they mean contiguous US and Alaska and Hawaii are not included.
Experienced wikipedia editors are often pretty good at catching this circular sourcing on important articles, but, yeah, it's definitely much more of a problem for more obscure things like the history of toasters.

Years ago I noticed that the article for the mimic octopus said that it mimicked various things, including the "venomous sole" (!) with a citation that looked suspiciously similar to the wikipedia article. Of course, there's no such thing, but if you search the web you can still find articles based on the wikipedia article claiming it (the wikipedia article itself was eventually corrected to the (non-venomous) zebra sole).

I mean this isn't an either/or we live in a world where we can do both, we just need the will as a population to actually invest in our environment the same way we are willing to invest in stocks. I think the hardest part of environmentalism is showing investors you can make a quick buck off it. If you showed wall street environmentalism = a 8% growth investment they'd buy 5 world GDPs in the investment. But jokes aside the reason I think you'd be more likely to see desalination than forest planting is because you can meter the water line, just planting trees while potentially being the more efficient and logical decision lacks accountability. It makes it impossible to pass costs around to the people actually using all of the resources and causes trouble politically, which is the largest problem when it comes to solve real world problems
For anyone trying to install mastodon, yunohost does it automatically.
You can replace them. I forget the details on how I did it, but I recall doing this for a popular first person star wars game at the time. I replaced the DPMI runtime with a different one and the level load times skyrocketed in speed. My suspicion at the time was that the runtime included switched to real mode to do disk transfers but the other perhaps talked directly to the IDE hard disk staying in protected mode? Not sure, but it was very, very fast with I/O. I was pretty happy with my hack at the time.
I run a very crude shell-based scanning app (termux has an option to add shell scripts as "apps" on the homescreen), amongst others.

termux supports native GUI dialogues (input/checkboxes), and the scan-shellscript uses that for input (name, greyscale/color, jpg/pdf output and number of pages for pdf) then launches a couple of remote scanimage + ocr postproc + pdf generation commands and transfers + opens that in the local pdf app
The time you spent writing this you could've googled mersenne primes and how candidates are selected. You would've found out there are loads of techniques to narrow them down, and that we're looking for specific types of primes as the first step in this. Then you would've avoided coming off as a dunning-kruger know-it-all...
Good post, and others should not be afraid to be truthful about what is going on. Part of the problem is that when people acknowledge the too obvious reality (particularly or perceived as male) then they get condemned, censored, silenced, shadow banned, banned, doxed, etc...

These apps are bringing in tons of money, at the expense of mostly men, to the advantage of mostly women. This is as clear as day.

Its only a "problem", in the statistically fewer situations where those with the advantage (primarily women) are inconvenienced by flakes, pranksters, con artists, catfishing, etc... Who of course would be attracted to these types of apps.

To include if the person they hook up with from such apps, decides they can do better (for whatever reason), and goes ghost or back to the same app to fish for more. Situations that happen to the average male users (who get massively less matches) of such apps continually and constantly.

It has gotten to the point where those already at a huge advantage and taking advantage, feel or believe they are owed a "win". If "he" doesn't meet dream requirements, because somehow they are near perfection (or the delusion of it), then something is finally wrong with the app.

Those making money from such apps, will be more than happy to respond with more gimmicks and pretend solutions. But a true issue like "their own lack of initiation and fear of rejection", is a truth that dare not be acknowledged or will be ignored.
The point is that blockchains don't provide you with anything other than that "main use". For any other kind of feature you need to add something else - and if you're adding a centralized trusted authority (which is by far the easiest way to do anything), then you can get rid of the blockchain altogether.
I’m sure if you shine a spotlight the size musk has on him on other people then you’d find we all contract ourselves in a lot of ways.

When Ireland voted for independence, it was officially part of the UK. The UK as a whole would have voted against independence for Ireland. Does that mean under democratic rules Ireland was not allowed for it to be separated from the main country?

This is only technically true in the sense that the weakest straw man still gets a seat at the table.

My comment is directed only to people who would be interested in investigating this topic with a sense of proportion. If you bring a sense of proportion to the investigation you will rule out fringe theologies and converge on a Christian teaching that looks nothing like the original canard.
I look forward to the official renaming to the "United Kingdom of Giga Byte and Northern Ireland" and then we can all fight over if it should have been Gibi Byte.
There's a large number of languages out there that I wouldn't teach at least as a first programming language. Some of them aren't even that esoteric or particularly old. The list of plausible languages left after eliminating all the ones that are a terrible idea for someone's first experience isn't actually all that long.

I guess that comes under the "constraints" section in the article.
No. The correct paper is https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-022-01769-8 , Gómez-Nava et al, Intermittent collective motion in sheep results from alternating the role of leader and follower.
And then there is intpremium_t which is required to be somewhere between intpro_t and intultra_t but has no relation to intmax_t, just for some additional fun.
<Many people I know who dislike religion say that if there is a god, they wish he would leave them alone. They want to live in a world where god does not exist.

As a recent tourist, NI seemed far less developed than the Republic of Ireland to me, as if everyone there had moved to England for jobs and now that region only survives thanks to life support from London.

Much of the infrastructure there reminded me more of post-communist Eastern European countries than western Europe, but then so do many parts of England (no offense).

I wonder if NI wouldn't be better off part of the Republic and the EU, now with Brexit and everything?
Wow I really don't like the (automatic?) translation I'm hit with. Sure I know that language, but English is fine? At least give me the option to shut it off or make it opt-in.

It's kind of ironic to make this design mistake on a site dedicated to raise awareness about design decisions
I agree that this is good, but was it worth all the extra expenditure in energy, resources, and environmental damage that it took to achieve? Rebooting my XP machine every few days (or, really, just getting in the habit of shutting it down when I was done for the day) didn't seem like a huge burden at the time.
Well suppose you nominally have the support of local government and police, but in practice they can bought cheaply, and suddenly the records match what the large landholder says instead of the markers you used to have. An immutable record would help solve this, but the point stands that it is not convincing that you need a blockchain or that it would solve the problem. How would you get local government to buy into it in the first place? If the national government is willing to force them, they could just manage a database with immutable records.
Because many large businesses with lobbying power don't want to be potentially called out as anti environment. They want the freedom to treat it like an employment perk if/when they choose to support it.
> An increasing amount of articles just cite "sources say" or "an unnamed U.S. intelligence official says"

Hold on, when is it you think that newspapers did _not_ do this?

In general, if a paper is writing about anything vaguely contentious, it will use unnamed sources; if it names its sources then its sources won't stay sources for long, and the media will become little more than a system for regurgitating press releases. It is always worked this way; this isn't new.

(There was a fun bit in "Yes Minister" where the minister, while leaking something, was offended that the journalist wanted to use "sources" instead of "sources close to the Prime Minister" to attribute his leak...)
Wow, this is probably the most intuitively enjoyable music tool I've ever used.

I'm not a musician and I know very little about what makes music good, but playing with this tool felt like I was hearing a better version of my own imagination. Like those scenes in movies where people can suddenly play music and have no idea how they're doing it.

So you are saying that Intellij and IDE/completion make people smarter and more capable rather than a bit faster?

Do you have any source for this very surprising claim?
If I telecommuted:
Pros:
- my company wouldn’t need as much office space for me, but not none, so 80% space/energy savings,
- also offset an 8 mile (x2 so 16mi) driving commute

Cons:
- I’d probably make up those 16mi of commuting in other ways (errands, driving to a lunch time hike, etc)
- I’d need more space at home, and consume more energy (prob not fully offsetting the savings from work, but a meaningful part)
- I’d probably work remotely from other locations more, increasing my air travel footprint meaningfully (which I think puts this in the red)
- I’d probably cook more at home (while cheaper, is probably more energy intensive than a commercial kitchen per meal?)

Doesn’t feel like a huge net savings

What really need, is to put analog parts into right mode, and to make it stable, for example vs temperature changes.

As electrical contact points and traces could add up to few Ohms, so resistors need not be exact numbers, but few different from range of planned +-these few Ohms.
Even after the upgrade it's less than 500hp. Sub-500hp in a 100k luxury car in 2022 is just insulting.

Edit: JFC people. I'm not endorsing spending $100k on a car. I'm saying even if you do it's still a pretty bad deal since it fails to meet the high baseline that is expected of luxury vehicles. WTF did I do to draw your ire?
That's a far cry from "can't be part of the game" and "centralized" though.
Heat pumps exist but they aren’t “typical”, at least depending on where you are. Gas heat is a lot more common in Texas.
The intro is so full of hyperbole I couldn't make it past. Which arguments were recycled?
> Ultra-precise resistor values have been possible for as long as there have been good meters. It turns out that's a very long time ago.

It's not about metering but stability of the resulting value. 1% or 0.1% doesn't do you much good if few degree temperature change gets it out of spec. Now temperature coefficent is an additional spec on the spec sheet but by definition you kinda need low drift to go in pair with high precision

> The numerology makes a lot of sense if you are working with 0.1% tolerance parts. Lower tolerances have actually gotten more popular as electronics have become more cost-sensitive.

Lower tolerances have just become cheap. Back when I was a kid there was significant difference in price between 1% and 5% resistors. Now they cost basically same (for low power ones at least) so why not ? [1]

You also don't really need that many precision parts in the first palce.

Where before in say a power amplifier you had say an analog preamp driving power IC (or outright discrete power amplifier) you had to have a bunch of precise resistors (or someone tweaking a pot on the production line) to keep the gain same in both tracks. Now you just slap a D-class chip that takes line in and outputs power and you're done, and the few % variance in power supply caps or output filter doesn't matter much.
