I value being able to do what I want with my house.

I'm willing to pay a premium for that value.

I am only willing to consider an HOA if it comes with a steep discount.

The more people there are out there who think like I do, the less it makes sense for people to try to tell their neighbors how to live.
You've inspired me as well to ramble about why grids are great.

Growing up in Chicago, I have a deep love of the grid. It made sense, it made navigation easy. It made addresses have real meaning. Take the address of the Vic Theater, for example: 3145 N Sheffield. It tells you just about everything you need to know. It tells you that Sheffield is a North/South street. Because it's an odd number it tells you the building is on the East side of the street. The "31" tells you it's on the thirty-one hundred block of Sheffield, which once you learn the streets, tells you it's on the block immediately south of Belmont (3200 North). The "45" tells you it's likely at the very North end of the block, because the typical Chicago block only goes up to about XX60 in addresses.

The one thing lacking is the latitude for East/West streets and the longitude for North/South street being encoded in the street name, but you could encode an address as an X,Y pair. The above example address could be: 1000 W, 3145 N.

Now I live in suburbia elsewhere in the country and street numbers are essentially meaningless, except to differentiate buildings on the same street. Which I suppose is their most basic purpose, but I'm used to addresses being useful for city-wide navigation, so it always felt a bit lacking to me.

And don't get me started on my love for and the current lack of alleys where I live now. Chicago alleys are the unsung hero of the city's layout.

Just in time edit:
It was pointed that I forgot one of the most important things: the numbering system encodes distance as well. Every 100 on the grid, or one full block, is 1/8 of a mile.
Thanks! Took a non-trivial amount of effort to put together
And when was the work published?
Just was playing with this more.

Visiting the secret's page from the "recently closed" or "history" views of Brave/Chrome leaves the password in text entry box.

Edge doesn't do it.

Probably there's some easy fix for it, I'd guess, but I'm not really a web dev.
very fair, but from my handful of observations I've seen people chase brand name over the quality benefits a brand carries (e.g. maintenance, efficiency) to consider

Lots of great YouTube videos on casting on and making hats or scarfs. Get some larger needles and go to town. Happy to provide more pointers. I personally love picking up crafts, which it in of itself is a skill, that and dealing with failure.
Can you provide an example of a "modern non-grid"?
We link to this in the README for text-to-diagram.com, and it was a starting point for us when we were researching what's out there when designing D2. Thank you for maintaining this.
While the modern non-grid is "made for cars", most examples I've seen is also really inefficient at working for cars, in that most non-grid areas I've seen also suck at moving traffic. Inefficient intersections, poorly designed directional conflicts, etc. all exist heavily in a non-grid area, and the response is typically larger, even more inefficient intersections and more poorly designed directional conflicts. Sometimes the lack of space that a grid typically causes actually brings better traffic engineering.

But it's definitely correct that the modern non-grid is definitely not suitable to walking/biking, but that's more due to zoning and centralization of systems (e.g. schools) rather than grid vs. non-grid. It's not like a cul-de-sac for a car couldn't contain an off-shoot to a pedestrian/biking path that cuts a trip significantly for a non-car.
This is incredibly cool! Nice demo of a modern browser API I was not aware of, and it's actually useful. I can imagine using this to email confidential PDFs and other small deliverables for clients.
dark prediction -- "loose monetary policy foolishness" in the USA, Australia and a few other western dollar oil economies, will never fade for those with security industry ties.
With what I'm hearing about US politics, it sounded perfectly plausible to me.
The logical conclusion of this is a panopticon, where those with more power lord over those with less in all areas of life. Sounds great for some, I guess.

Me, I like some freedom.
The article says that they haven't discovered that we have more water, there seem to be processes that consume the recharged groundwater faster than we thought too!
Sorry but we have more hard data on the COVID vaccine(s) than pretty much any drug in recorded history.

With things like electronic health records, insurance claims databases, and state vaccine registries; it is trivial to check whether or not someone who is admitted to a hospital for COVID hot a vaccine or not.

Arguing that the COVID vaccines we have available in the US are not effective is like arguing that the average global temperature has not increased over the last 50 years, or that smoking does not increase the risk of lung cancer and emphysema. You are making extraordinary claims that contradict a mountain of data.
Yes, everyone getting the help they need is violence. Utopian (dystopian) ideals fall apart in the real world however. Note the link I posted above, would you raise a family in a place that enabled this atmosphere.

Now, if you are crazy and live on a deserted island it’s not a problem. On my doorstep is another story; the other 98% of us have a right to peace that overrides yours. We live in society and lose a few rights, the bargain is that we get more in return than we lost. The ill could be free to try to survive on their own if they don’t want to submit, but again we know they are not competent to make the decision by definition.
I miss the days when JQuery was the only JS library a person needed to know to do professional web dev. I stuck with web dev through the peak of Struts, but the constant changing of frameworks with (imo) minimal benefit to user experience pushed me to things besides web dev.

From what I experienced not a lot of code changes ownership over a period of years. Not saying code always stays at its place. But disagreeing that ownership „usually“ changes with code updates to the code. I do get on board that change in ownership is often a reflection organisational change. Change to often and things fall through the cracks.
Do it. I've used Ink for tutorials, and it's magic. It works so well. If you add a way to update changes while the app or game is running, it makes an amazing workflow for the tutorial authors or level designers.
Interesting, thanks for saying something.

I'm also not a web dev, but I think I can manage to clear out the password once the secret is decrypted successfully.
If I were to make a list of my top-10 problems, corruption would be near the top. None of the cases I've seen involved money laundering.

If I were to make a trade-off, I would implement many more transparency measures for organizations, not for individuals. If I can see what happens in my local school, municipal government, corporation, university, church, and non-profit, that would cut down on all the corruption I've seen, dramatically. I see no downsides to transparency measures which don't impact individuals, and they have a lot more impact than corporations snooping on me.

Indeed, in one case I saw corruption, corporate snooping meant that the corrupt place had more leverage over a whistleblower. That's no good.
> I disagree. What most people usually mean by "complex" in any context is some fuzzy not-really-defined thing they aren't really sure about.

I didn't say that this is what people mean in "any context" but rather _specifically_ in software (see the quoted text in your post). I do agree that people are fuzzy about it; that's also why I also said that there is frequently a confusion between _complexity_ and _difficulty_.
I completely agree. It's just we are already at the point of it being too big to fail - you can just look at the housing market during COVID compared to 2008 to see that we've doubled down on housing as a speculative asset.

I agree with you that academic summary works are probably the best way for a non-researcher to learn what exists, what's known (and what isn't). Since i've never seen them discussed or referenced on this website, let me also point out the existence of academic encyclopedias, such as the Springer encyclopedia of algoriths[1] (each entry is essentially a slightly more pedagogical review article about a subfield or important problem in CS, along with loads of references to the literature for digging deeper), and the delightful encyclopedia of distances [2](800 pages long!). A couple others i've seen that may be of interest to this audience are the encyclopedia of systems and control[3], and the encyclopedia of unconventional computing[4]

Unfortunately some of these are absurdly expensive, so if you don't want to go the piracy route the cheapest way to access them is to get a membership to your local public university's library system, which in the US typically costs like $100 a year or something.

Go to Venice, Italy if you want to get lost. Grids are the best way to lay out a city so you don't end up with ridiculous burbs like this where it's a 1.5 mile walk between adjacent lots.

https://bendyimby.com/2018/03/03/street-grids/

There are far worse examples of that elsewhere in the country.

Grids are also very robust to interruptions - like you remove an intersection (a crash, sewer work, whatever) and it slows traffic down, but it can route around it. Take out an arterial in a typical suburb and it's a huge mess.
Pineapple & anchovies! Few combinations work together so harmoniously. :) Salty and sweet; tropical and oceanic; rich glutamate umami and tangy, burning bromelain.

There's people who listen carefully to their desires for flavor, and yield to them; and there are people who subserviate themselves to the bland expectations of society, and live repressed lives of quiet normalcy.
Today people would blame them for things like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, DATE A LIVE, and Kantai Collection.
I’m especially curious whether it actually used the apostrophe, but I suppose the lander itself just sends its usual vitals and the first-person tweets are done by an on-world PR department.
i don't think it's a cop out, I certainly wouldn't buy a house on a street with a bunch of broken down cars on it.
I like to be able to navigate to a location I've never been just by knowing the address. Grids with numbered streets and avenues are my favorite.
Initially, Apple actually looked at an iOS version of Flash. This was around 2009/2010 IIRC. There were special dev iPhones that ran Flash. Adobe didn’t want to optimize it because they thought the iPhone would fail. Apple thought the performance was garbage and the communication mostly ended. I got to play with one for a few days and the performance was terrible. Even simple games lagged and the touch points were a disaster.
Is this just an Amazon ad / puff-piece ?

The retired Police officer recommends "Amazon key" as his first defense. Then after that he recommends Amazon locker.

Lastly the officer recommends a Ring camera. Not a video camera or video doorbell, but a "Ring".

The article then goes on to give you an exact link for signing up to Amazon key and mentions Prime members.

The pictures are from a Ring camera.

The word Amazon appears like 5 times in the article.....
My memory is that the Four Colour Theorem was one of the first computer search-assisted proofs which caused all sorts of epistemological questions. Specifically how to know whether the software had no bugs and ran correctly, and how re-running to get the same result only lowered the probability and did not yield absolute certainty. Seems sort of a quaint concern now.

(Apologies for no reference. I hope I'm not misremembering.)
Based on what research is this a good idea?

The US system is unique and we're entrenched. This is too big a change.
Oppenheimer: Vacated but not vindicated
I understand if they need to update the date to get it to show up at the top of the blog. But, in that case they can just add a few words to the front of the article saying that they are republishing an item from September.
Looks like that's still the case. It does still use lockfiles, it just updates them by default. There is also as you mention a built-in command that does the right thing.

Nice to see a comment that's uncommonly thoughtful and nuanced. Thank you.

"Trust is earned; suspect strangers" and “a give and take between the individual and society” -- these seem to go beyond humans and even our scale of being. From a neuroscience perspective, all minds need governance, but we just know it as decentralized autonomy. There are no “decider” neurons or cells or decision-making councils of neurons or cells. And yet, we have had over three billion years of minds figuring out how to help their body/community/society autonomously navigate a complex world. This decentralized autonomy requires trust. It’s a more expansive definition of trust, but probably worth exploring.

One could argue that at every scale minds exist at, from the microscopic to the globe-spanning, they eventually face daunting complexity and information load, and the way forward is to figure out how to stably cohere into societies and divide up tasks. The early ones are often centralized, but the ones that eventually win out are ones that figure out real decentralization and also solve the free rider problem. We humans are still very early in our experiments with decentralization. Democracy is our first real attempt at decentralized governance, but a very early one.

Decentralization almost always requires a new form of communication to scale up the network size. Synaptic transmission got minds to one level; language got us to a whole new level, but it can't stitch together billions of very diverse individuals. The internet changed connectivity nearly overnight, but it did not change communication, and we are seeing the evolving impact of this imbalance in the form of conspiracy theories, fake news, echo chambers and what-not. One way AI could actually help is by providing a “selective myelination" that preferably distributes and accelerates trustworthy communication and slows down the rest.
This is really out of touch. First off, poor people can’t afford Costco memberships. Second, 5 miles is a very long distance in Chicago. How can someone justify spending an hour in traffic each way, and with what car?
It's using DHT like BitTorrent magnet links to find people using public keys.
And you can compose them from "pre shared" secrets.

For example, the password hint for a secret I send to my sister:

- The name of our neighbors cat

- The name of your first boyfriend who scratched dad's car

- Mom's nickname for aunt Ilda

Concatenate those three with a dot. And voila, a pretty secure password without need of a side channel.

(just made this up, I don't have a sister...)
> "There are a range of provisions in criminal and civil law which may be applicable in the case of password sharing where the intent is to allow a user to access copyright-protected works without payment,"

I'm not sure the IPO could say anything else. Its position boils down to: "it might be illegal to share your password." It can't say definitively either way because the issue has never been before the courts.

(The headline used here is a bit clickbaity. The original is "Netflix password sharing may be illegal, says UK government" )

Bad smells usually indicate something toxic that destroys you by breathing it. The only analogue to that for sight is extremely bright light.
This was a great read. I distinctly remember playing Hapland as a kid. Armour games or Crazymonkeygames, can't remember which one it was. So this was a great nostalgia trip.
A stroke of a pen can make your home someone else's too, so not sure what's your point?
People do say that WiFi reconnect can be done in 2 seconds, but I have never been able to achieve that myself on my network, no matter the signal strength. I tried static IP, static subnet, and various configs before going to sleep (to retain WiFi signal strength? I can't remember). I always get 5-6 seconds.

I think I remember measuring the NodeMCU with a higher Deep Sleep current than the D1 Mini, but I don't remember what that value was.

The other thing I forgot to mention that consumes current is the USB-Serial converter on boards like the D1 Mini and NodeMCU, but not present on the ESP-01. I don't know which consumes more, the voltage regulator or the USB-Serial converter.
> Documentation now is no where near the quality of older stuff.

I wouldn't make a blanket statement either way, but there are certainly counterexamples to this:

- The mpv manual[1] is a work of art.

- The Arch Linux wiki[2] is a treasure trove of information for not just Arch-specific topics, but Linux in general.

- MDN[3] is the defacto standard for any web documentation.

- The PostgreSQL[4] documentation is quite thorough and high quality.

What I think explains your point are two things:

1. There's just a vast amount of software since those early days. "Software is eating the world", and it's realistically impossible for most of it to be well documented.

2. A lot of information is spread out and produced by users of the software; in books, on blogs, tutorials, forums, videos, etc. Sure, this might be seen as a failure of the software authors to produce good documentation, but many of these resources wouldn't exist if the web didn't make them accessible. In some ways this is better than having a single source of reference, as you can benefit from the collective wisdom of the hivemind, rather than only from what the author thought relevant to document.

I had the exact same idea years ago when I was working on a secrets manager (hobby project)..

Self Destruction, Unique link + password makes it pretty secure.

With the exception of Internal sabotage, I don't see any other issue.
The problem with your scenario is the reading the local files without permission, not the use of the crypto API.
my property my rules is a slippery slope. For example, many cities require you to purchase a permit to have a garage sale because neighbors don't want you running a flea market out of your yard.
> pay-per-use

Why would you charge for that? Especially if you want to help homeless etc.?

Just make it a free wifi hotspot and be done with it.
It does not mean the password needs to be weak at all. Make it a full sentence with punctuation, like:

"Don't you hate passwords that need a number and symbol?"

Easy enough to transmit over the phone and definitely more difficult than the ubiquitous "Password1!" that most people I know end up using to meet password "security" requirements.

Also, phone exchange can be preferable for many people who are less tech comfortable
You’re making a choice not to share your biometrics because you don’t trust the company to use and protect your biometric data. Fair enough.

Shouldn’t I have the choice to trust them and get the improved service due to their being able to do the biometric check?

I’m not sure what you mean by privatizing access to federal services. You still have access to that service. If you mean privatizing the administration of the service, well TSA screeners are staffed by private contractors.

If you’re arguing that the federal government should even the playing field and provide the option to supply them with biometrics and get better service as a result (and get Clear out of the way), then I would certainly agree with that. But honestly I am not sure what you’re arguing for, other than denying people access to a service they are willing to make the privacy trade-off for because it bothers you they get through security faster than you do.
Which one of those is the proprietary layout engine? Both dropdowns just show "D2" for me.
The concept of "opinionated" itself is a meme.
I love thin grocery store plastic bags, and reuse each one dozens of times. But my local government (small Massachusetts city) banned them, so now grocery stores have to use paper (much less reusable) or extra-thick bags (more bulky, less flexible, don't last significantly longer).

It takes real amounts of thought to reduce your footprint; the visible/obvious solution often isn't the right one.

Yeah, 00 is the "correct" flour for pizza dough, but only if you're using a real, high-temp pizza oven. If you're stuck at 550F or lower, like most home ovens, it won't cook right—it's pretty char/firming-up resistant, you'll burn the hell out of your toppings before the 00 dough gets where it needs to be. It has killer flavor and does some good stuff for texture, though, which is why I still blend some in.
Grids are not perfect, but they are "pretty good" in a lot of different circumstances, and far more adaptable than other street patterns. Living on a cul-de-sac is nice in some ways, but it doesn't do well at all with change or adaptation.

Grids were "pretty good" with horses and buggies, pretty good with cars, pretty good with eBikes, and will probably be pretty good with whatever the future holds, rather than being "perfect" for any one way of getting around.
Just a heads up: The back buttons doesn't work on the login page
Could repairing an ev in your driveway run afoul of this? Sounds like yes.

Leaking oil into the ground and air conditioning gasses into the atmosphere is already illegal. It sounds like preventing car repair is purely a nefarious regulation, whether it be an attack on rights to repair, or preventing depreciation of some over inflated asset. I would love to explain this away with simple ignorance. If so, let's just repeal this ridiculous regulation.
