This is almost exactly where I'm at. Amazon has quite a few ridiculously cheap refurbished units of Dell OptiPlex Micro, Lenovo M series, and Intel Nuc products. The Raspberry Pis I have (3 and 4) are impossible to use as a desktop, and they are actually ill-suited for embedded cases due to their power draw.
This sounds exactly like TomTom plan for EU maps..

Difference is TomTom has its own source it can prove is better that OSM in many places.
Ask HN: Is Sapling, the new SCM/DVCS, getting any traction in the wild?
A month ago Meta launched their SCM (based on their Mercurial fork) with the goal of having a saner UI than Git, improving some Git workflows for some use cases while being full compatible with Git repos. Many people were hoping it could become the Git killer.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33612410

Have you been using it? Are companies starting migrating off git to it? Is it getting any traction? Or is it DOA? What have you been observing about it in our industry?
That totally depends. There are people who prefer mountains to the sea for vacations, and even living.

But the tree thing is something objectively measured in actual studies on a consistent basis across humans with different preferences.
We have this advent calendar at work where one person on the team posts a pixelated scene from a christmas movie and we guess which one it is. Very hard, but when they later post the non-pixelated version it looks so obvious. Then if I look at the pixelated version again I can now "clearly" see what it is.
> Perhaps she could move to Frankfurt am Main, one of the world's most important financial centers? No, James said. Germany is out of the question. To find a job, you need to learn the German language, which is difficult. "Aside from that, Germany is also rather strict with issuing visas. And I have heard that the Germans are quite harsh toward people with brown skin, and to immigrants in general."

I really don't know what Europe is going to do over the next century. These countries are homogenous in a way that's difficult for Americans to comprehend. Forget "white" versus "brown"--Germany is 86% ethnic German. It's one specific tribe of white people with a flag. It's been almost half a century since Germany began a family reunification program for Turkish immigrants, and the Turkish population still hasn't assimilated, much less reached parity with native Germans. (Meanwhile, in the same amount of time, multiple refugee groups, such as Cubans and Vietnamese, have achieved economic parity with whites in America.)

I love Germany and Germans. My wife is a fluent German speaker and lived there. We have had several German au pairs who are now family friends. I have family in Frankfurt who immigrated there from Bangladesh, and they seem to be doing okay. But personally I would never immigrate there.

How do you control for the faked user agents scrapers use? A bad scraper will be much more common in your logs than a well-behaved browser, after all.
Markdown as source that gets converted to HTML isn't the issue. The issue is the suggestion that browsers support native Markdown rendering and sites just deliver raw Markdown content because "it's simple".

To your point, delivering raw Markdown to the browser means the browser needs to implement a renderer that supports inline HTML. If you're doing that you might as well just deliver that Markdown pre-rendered as HTML. Then you can be sure the browser will get the inline HTML that way it was intended.

Markdown is great for writing "plain" text that's perfectly readable by humans but can be trivially converted to some delivery format. It's not really fit for purpose as a delivery format.
That bacon sandwich has a lot to answer for.

I guess we are diametrically opposed. I can equally ask you if Jacob Rees-Mogg writes your posts.
It won't change one day. If we exhaust all better locations for solar panels than roads then we will already have enough solar energy to power the world many times over. Almost anywhere is better than a road.

Not really. German government is young compared to US. No-one in their late 70s anywhere near powerful positions federally.
Do you tile your windows as well, or just keep one-ish app in each desktop? I.e. do you switch between desktops and windows all the time, or only between desktops usually?
Lists in python are what are called vectors in almost every other language.

You can make a resizable vector in CL and use vector-push-extend to do things just like python.
It's a common trope in a lot of movies/series, as the other comments illustrated.
This. It's frustrating when I'm searching for information and all the results on the first page are just native advertising articles from the top 20 ad laden websites. I'm really looking forward to using Chat GPT to answer my questions. Having said that, a strong BS detector will be needed as It's been shown that ChatGPT isn't always correct, but is always confident.
No conflicts in the advices. Many (most?) people live their life with default settings, simply going along with and never questioning expectations from the world around them (the life they were born to live). They're simply the instrument of a self-fulfilling prophecy. To be who you want to be, you need to be willing to change those default settings, even if that runs counter the predictions.
Note that OP (Robin Berjon) works for Filecoin, a crypto project that raised a huge ICO and has never really delivered on all of the promised hype. His full-time role is to get Filecoin's projects more embedded into standards like those the w3c oversees. And they obviously have specific opinions about how they'd like to see the w3c run.

I would take a skeptical view of his take on what's happening. The w3c is a very dysfunctional organization and there has been a lot of turmoil internally. Jeff Jaffe who had been CEO for more than a decade quit in November. There are power plays behind the scenes to fill this vacuum.
As a software person this is first I have heard of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) [0]. Sounds like a very rigorous way to move through a system and identify all the ways it can break and develop ways to fix it.

I'm astounded people are STILL burying their heads in the sand about Corbyn. But I suppose that is a large part of the reason why labour was losing for so long they kept denying the obvious reality that the electorate just did not like Corbyn but wouldn't get rid of him for internal political/ideological reasons.

> This is not about "you being able to become root", of course you can do that whenever you want

"of course", yeah...

Tell that to iOS and most Android users (even among techies, 95% is afraid of the steps you have to take for getting root on your own damn phone). This used to be normal but for our own good it has been decided that this is not normal now anymore. That kids are growing up with this worries me. When is the market ready for Microsoft and Apple to decide the same for desktops? Not running the DRM and trying to WINE some application is going to be similarly thwarted as doing banking on a phone that the user fully owns is today.
Thanks for the insight. Point taken
the page turn animation was probably the main reason i bought the original ipad. it was just so delightful. like some others, i miss the skeuomorphism of the original ios.
Alt+drag by default, but I remap it to super in dconf.
Yup. In France Macron hold total power with less than 30% of voters and less than 30% of good opinion in polls. His "pension reform" has everyone against it, the unions, all political parties but his own, even the employers association, but it will be enforced anyway. Democracy is dead, and it even began to smell.
News sites like ft.com should be setting up their own mastodon servers, i.e. mastodon.ft.com, and creating accounts for their journalists on that server. Then there is no need for separate verification - it will right in the person's profile name, like mastodon.ft.com/@davelee.

The answer is probably yes, based on there blue card data[1]. I see more and more Indians (and others) are moving to Germany.

Such a nice slap in the face of the erstwhile "Kinder statt Inder" campaign of CDU.

As a hardware guy I look at software with envy. Having to deal with physics is such a huge fucking pain in the ass all the time. Reality real fucking hates low entropy systems and will try and sabotage you at every turn. There is also the inherent opaqueness to reality based systems that makes debugging them a huge pain that can be enormously time consuming and expensive. And scaling is ridiculously difficult and expensive.

And worst of all, for me, there is no money in hardware. At best you make a trinket that requires a $9.99 subscription to really get use out of. At worst you make a cool trinket, get forced by pricing to make it in China, and then end up just having the idea stolen and reproduced to be sold for 1/2 the cost.

Ok rant over.
Same, it pretty much worked without a fuss, we did a cool proof of concept demo where we used it to auto target a gimbal on a drone using an nvidia jetson running ubuntu. We got the entire software stack working together within a day or so, linux just picked up the industrial camera without a problem, but getting more control over its output required some more work. There's a whole little industry standard for high res video streams over gigabit ethernet or usb 3 that the vendors have published libraries for you can just link in your C++ project.

Those tunnels were one of my favorite parts of being there. I lived in residence during my fourth year and once went three weeks without setting foot outside. January is not a nice time in Ottawa.
Mostly read-only, with ocassional writes when we update the database/CMS. The writes handled by a webhook which hits the Cloudflare worker upon any update. Workers is so fast, the data and website is updated in milliseconds. We use Vercel's on demand revalidation.

Honestly, the real revolution at Vercel with NextJs in my opinion is the ability to easily use Edge functions now in any NextJs project. It's strange to me how so few developers use this, and understand how powerful the Edge is with Cloudflare. Even at Vercel itself they are focusing on the App folder and React Server Components (RSC). But, if you store everything at Edge and use Edge functions, everything is so incredibly fast, and easy to hook up/maintain that all the tooling around RSC is entirely useless.
Apartments are fine as long as they're good apartments. Properly-built concrete walls completely mitigate the sound problem you mentioned below. In four years at my current place, I've never heard a neighbor's voice from inside my apartment.

Shitty slumlord apartments are what everyone wants to escape from, in my experience.
Isn’t the reason they had to use inline assembly there because the compiler they’re using doesn’t have that particular instruction bound as an intrinsic?

What do you do in that case? I’m genuinely curious as it’s something I’ve run up against: the vector extensions for the LX7 processor in the ESP32-S3 don’t have intrinsics for them.
I think it just depends how well a company's CFO knows the firm partners from the last round of golf as to whether they will go easy on your audit.

All the big 4 have been caught turning a blind eye over the last few years to win big contracts. Wirecard, Carillion and NMC Health all spring to mind for me in Europe. If i have 3 committed to memory there are many more.

All the "audit" firms are corrupt, regulation has utterly failed.
Difference of opinion. Others may believe that point is today.
"a society free from unjust hierarchies"

What would be a just hierarchie?

"Most anarchists are comfortable with the idea of democracy, elections, and delegation of decision making. As long as it's consensual and democratic"

Most anarchists I met, not so much. Till the extreme point of "anarchists don't vote". Not even in a small group. There is a consensus or there is no decision.

I like the idea of doing things in a consensus. But only one person in a bad mood can then block everything. But when you remove that person, it is not really a democratic consensus anymore, but majority rule .. which is fine by me, but is probably not "pure anarchism" anymore.
Apple is literally breaking all the things that work in the name of innovation and upgrade :(

“Speak last.”

Meaning listening to others more often than telling. In particular when you lead people. Not holding back my opinion but let the others contribute.

I particularly like the short, simple, concise statement saying everything.
That referendum was poison pilled with the “alternative vote” and sold to voters as a easy path to the BNP getting elected.

It was just as much party politics as the Brexit vote, not a genuine attempt at direct democracy.
It sounds like OSM doesn’t want to do some of the stuff Overture wants to do like serve up map tiles and whatever.

And the opposite, can’t imagine they would want to maintain the location of every tree and cow path like OSM does.

It’s been shown many times an open source commodification is able to break a virtual monopoly your competition holds. How many times has google done this over the years?
They should look at Carleton University in Ottawa as an example.

Big, wide, brightly lit tunnels with cameras on every square inch. No more dangerous than any other part of campus. Entirely open to everyone and often the fastest way to get around.
Two points of note to add:

1. regulations around referendums (compared to general elections) are very poor and the "no to AV" campaign exploited this by running an extremely dishonest campaign [1]

2. turnout was < 50% of the electorate so one can somewhat facetiously imply from the result that the majority of the electorate don't care what the system is.

Yes, the process is called deconvolution, and it works even better than trying to bruteforce the input image of pixelated text.
What makes it possible to search over font characters but not, eg, convolution tiles?

Photo identification is done with a limited search space of “tiles” that the image is decomposed into, for convolutional NNs.
I think the criteria for "school safe" should be changed to accommodate something like this. My high-school kid taught me the word "yeet" and they are all familiar with the F-word enough to be cool with tasteful occasional use like this.

Your best option is to subscribe to drupalize.me and work through their content. (I'm not affiliated)

Unfortunately the changes over the years with Drupal meant you can find guides online but they may be outdated.

There is also a book "Learning Drupal 9 as a framework" written by Stef Van Looveran. He appears to keep it updated and while it isn't a complete resource, it could be worth a look.
As a whole, Russian nationalists were popping champagne corks when Western media and other influence operations left Russia. It was basically everything they wanted. Given to them for free. By their enemies. Everything that cuts a dependency also cuts an influence vector and increases sovereignty.

The world is moving to regional blocks -- a Western block of North America and Europe, a Eurasian block of Russia/India/Iran/Middle-East/China, and the loyalties of Africa/Latin America are where the wars for influence will be fought, with Africa tilting toward Eurasia and Latin America tilting toward the West. Other battle grounds would be marginal areas like Southeast Asia/Pacific Islands and in Europe the balkans. In that context, it makes no sense for the Eurasian block to allow a business to operate domestically from an enemy block. Why on earth would you let them influence your population? For the same reason, Eurasian influence operations are being banned in the West, from Confucian Institutes to Sputnik News.

The main entrypoints to a block will be those nations that have sufficiently rigid control over their domestic populations to feel free with enemy dependencies -- that would be the US and China, both with impressive soft power and sophisticated information control regimes. That is why US made films that are shown in China often have to have different scenes in them - sometimes shot with different endings -- and there are strict limits. China has their own system of deboosting content and their own troll farms. Same for any kind of internet presence and also video games and other media. Likewise, the US has a sophisticated system of banning and other soft "deboosting" of views that run counter to official regime narratives. There is a whole industry to identify counter-narrative views and brand them as "misinformation" that must be rooted out. Russia has a much less sophisticated information space defense system for this, and much less soft power, so for them outright bans and blocks are the only viable option, and this was given to them by the West on a platter. Amazing self-own.
I wonder if that’s a compromise with the publishing house, who would prefer people buy audiobooks if they want to listen to the book being read.
Don't do to other what you don't want done to you. I wonder how many architects actually live in those monstruosities.
Haskell also doesn’t need infinite memory (like parent claimed about Rust). It has immutability but it also has a garbage collector. It tends to use less memory than Java for example (to the extent that the benchmarks game is a useful benchmark):

I don't buy the failure narrative at all. In a lot of Eastern European and also to an extent Western European cities large housing projects work reasonably well especially for lower income households, they've kept rents affordable, they're energy efficient and they aided in rapid urbanisation.

Many of them don't look great but they pretty much did their job given the limited resources that a lot of cities had available.

If you look at modernist cities around the world, in India for example as well, cities that took inspiration from this kind of planning have generally good standards of living, costs, little homelessness and decent environmental footprints.
Isn't a parliamentary system effectively proportional representation? It's just prime minister that's first past the post, but from a proportional vote in parliament?

Labour is not going to save Britain. They are just going to redistribute money that is more and more and more "not there" anymore. The EU is not going to save Britain, they are having a crisis too. Nothing will save Britain, it is doomed for the next couple hundred years or so.
I agree with everything except the first sentence. Similar to a meeting, where time used meets time alloted, complexity meets complexity allowed.

Are you sure? There's an entire generation of people born after 2000 who probably read more electronic books than physical ones.
There's a huge amount of documentation telling you that NIL is an empty list.

It isn't. It has none of the mechanics of an empty list in Python etc.

It's more like a null link, and has quite a bit in common with /0 as a string terminator.

It does different things on its own and in the context of a list.

The key is that Lisp list items are stored as car (link/pointer to an item) and cdr (link to the next item/s in the list) pairs.

Lisp's dot notation makes this explicit, but it's hidden behind syntactic sugar because it's messy and hard to read.

(a b c) is really (a . (b . (c . NIL)))

Each dot shows the cdr of the preceding car.

On its own NIL is just a constant. It has no listy features - specifically no slots for car or cdr values. Although you can do things like (length NIL) you can't change it. It's simply not a list.

You can add car/cdr pointers to it with cons. Now you can use NIL in a list.

You can use NIL as a cdr list terminator. (something . NIL) means the list is over. There are no more cdrs after it.

You can use NIL as an empty car placeholder. (NIL . something) means the car has no value, but the list continues onwards with a cdr link.

In your example (append NIL foo) actually returns (foo . NIL). NIL is being used as a cdr terminator. Lisp hides the ". NIL" because syntactic sugar.

If you (append NIL foo) again, you still get (foo) because NIL already terminates the list and there's no reason to add another NIL after it.

(push foo NIL) throws an error because push is destructive and is attempting to change NIL. Which isn't allowed.

(cons NIL a) gives you (NIL a) because NIL is being prepended as an empty car pointer. Which is how you get NILs into a list without it collapsing around itself. It's just like any other list item, except it has a null value. The list can continue past it into further cdrs in the usual way.

Anyway. This is confusing because you have a single symbol doing three different things in three different contexts. (Not even counting its use as a Boolean...) Worse, syntactic sugar and the various function internals hide this from you. And the documentation tells you something that isn't true.

So unless you look at the source and/or learn how the various functions understand and use NIL you will be confused.

The up side is a REPL is interactive and easy to play with, so it's not a huge effort to experiment and see what falls out.
You've missed the point, this about people not being permitted to say the truth, per this ideology.

Even a rape victim isn't allowed to say that a man raped her, despite him forcing his penis inside of her. Is she supposed to pretend that this is a "woman's penis" or something?

That was an extreme example used to illustrate. The other examples elsewhere in this thread include a man taking an accolade that would usually be reserved for women, and a man going around being creepy to women who provide genital waxing services to other women.

If critics aren't allowed to push aside the gender ideology for a minute and discuss these males as men, it entirely undermines any point they're making about women's boundaries being encroached upon - which is also a harm, and a significant one.
Still interested; do you know more about the reason? Is this the incidence you mention?
"good luck getting rid of hierarchies without mass genocide, unless that is the real purpose"

The idea of the peaceful anarchism like gandhi represented is, to convince people to just stop following unjust orders. No need for genocide this way and he showed, that this can work sometimes.

The problem I see rather with the natural developing of informal hierachies in group dynamics. In other words, there will be leaders, even if they say everyone is equal.
