If so many words assign connotations to "white" and "black", indicating a deeply embedded metaphor, perhaps the solution is simply to stop using such loaded and inaccurate word to refer to skin color? They are trying to boil the ocean to preserve a silly convention that was probably racist to begin with.
I take no issue with Dijkstra's use of humble-sounding phrases and thoughts. It can be quite effective in making oneself approachable and believable (both of which a different than being humble). I just don't think it means he was actually a humble person.
Depending on where you (want) to live in the US your going to have a hard time finding a home not covered by an HOA, and that HOA will almost certainly restrict your house colors.

Not defending it, just observering that the difference for much of the US population is who is enforcing it, not if the rule exists.

Red dye 40 severely effects my 3 y/o. She's a screaming mess not 30 mins after she eats anything with Red 40. Thankfully, we've completely removed any and all artificial dyes from our diet, trying to stay organic as much possible. I can't fathom a good reason as to why artificial dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5 are not outright banned in the US as a neurotoxin.

Oh I think they should attempt to register their opinion, but in the end, that’s as far as it can go - if we truly “care” about a human’s right to private enjoyment of their own “property.”
Awesome collection. Found quite a few I had no clue it existed
This would've prevented my grandfather from transitioning from the military to becoming a mechanic for 30 years, and from doing any of his own repairs at home. Whether someone creates an eyesore or hazmat site comes down to their character. Next, California will concoct a law stating soldering electronics is illegal because lead solder might be used. These are laws targeting blue-collar tradespeople suggesting they are beneath contempt.
While it's tough to convert the whole floor to a bunch of a apartments, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to create luxury apartments with communal workspaces available on the floor. I'd expect that to be a luxury that would be valued at a premium in bigger cities like NY and SF.
The Transmeta Story (2018)
I'm telling you what I've seen people actually do. These aren't the minority either, these are most of the poor shade-tree meth heads I grew up with in the PNW.

> This is still illegal

But not enforced because you're not going to catch someone pouring oil over a fence on their own property into a bunch of weeds at night.

> transport the oil

The shit gets everywhere. No thanks. They know they can go to autozone or leave it in a clear plastic container, but that's extra work. I'm not sure people realize just how little free time blue collar folk have.

> it shouldn’t ever make contact with the outside

Pulling the A/C unit out to lighten the car for the dragstrip. Why bother renting an A/C reclaiming machine when I can just open the valve and let it vent?

Again, I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to work on cars, but trying to ignore the real environmental dangers here is burying your head in the sand.
And just because they get that extension doesn't mean they discover anything useful. We don't just chuck stuff at Mars randomly, landing site are chosen for specific reasons to do specific science. Sure it's possible there's something in a navigable vicinity worth checking out, but also just as likely not. And if there is it should be included in the mission as a secondary objective and the probe specced accordingly.

And yes, the most expensive part is designing and building the probe, that includes designing purely custom wipers/vibrators/whatever, hardening them for space so they survive the journey, testing and iterating them in Mars-like and space-like conditions, all on a limited budget that has to build the rest of the probe to the same exacting standards, all for the possibility that there's something outside of the mission scope worth doing. Intuitively wipers and vibrators seem like cheap commodity hardware because we have them everywhere and economies of scale to support them, so why not slap them on? But that doesn't apply to bespoke things like Mars Rovers.

There are constraints your analysis is not taking into account, there's likely also internal NASA constraints that neither of us know about. It's an appeal to authority, but I'm going to assume the engineers at NASA JPL who have decades of experience building/launching/landing Mars rovers have considered the tradeoffs of wipers/dust removal mechanisms for this specific mission.

If you're asking why they don't add them I've provided some speculative reasoning based on my experience in adjacent industries. If you're arguing that they missed an obvious design flaw and you know how to build a better Mars rover, within their constraints, maybe, but given NASA JPL's track record I have my doubts.
That’s it. I live in middle of our city in an increasingly rare SFH-zoned neighborhood, one of three adjacent in our community council. Two have covenants, mine does not. Had a choice to buy in either, I chose the no-covenant one. We have a lady walking her two goats down the street periodically, one neighbor used to have an old square body pickup in side yard with a tree growing up through engine compartment (hood long gone). I like it. My friend across the way in other neighborhood tells me laughable stories of enforcement letters and such. To each their own. Choice is good - I like this approach better than city-wide laws. One of my key political principles is that laws should be as local as possible and the need skeptically examined.
For what it's worth, it would be better if people knew how to weld and how to prepare a workpiece for welding. Back when I worked on cars myself at a local hobby garage (common here in Germany, sort of the car equivalent of a makerspace), the amount of people who didn't strip off plastic attachments or removed paint was so excessive that my favourite shop imposed a rule "idiots setting stuff on fire or causing excessive smoking while welding have to bring in a crate of beer".

I definitely would not want to live next to someone learning how to use a welding rig.
The rest of my sentence is important to the meaning of my statement. I am saying that people who are responsible with their finances can and do also rent.
But you need to configure it and by default it breaks most shortcuts on websites.
What does it mean to own property? Does that meaning depend on a democratic majority? If so, then you don't have private property. Whatever restrictions you want to impose on neighbors due to high density can be done using contracts (added to deed). You don't need these laws. But people don't want contracts, because it's easier to force people to abide by rules that you can't get them to voluntarily agree too. These laws are a subsidy, because you'd have to bribe some people to sign agreements to accept certain restrictions.
I mean clearly people are buying it, or at least were when it looked like easy "money for nothing" to quote the song

The solution is for people to learn to reason logically for themselves. Maybe when we actually get to the point where people can't survive until they do so, they'll start taking logical reasoning seriously.
That's fascinating, is such imprinting something that we have the technology to control yet - or in the near future?
Musk: We'll just need to do a total rewrite to have a high velocity of features
Pretty hard for me to see that working most places. Why would the seller want a restriction on a property they're selling which can only decrease the value of the property? And if you're going to ban junk cars you probably want to ban a bunch of other things too. Congratulations! You've just created a HOA.
Last time I tried it, it mostly suggested the line above.
My bank is constantly and repeatedly recognized as one of the best-run, most ethical, and most customer-centric companies in the United States, if not the entire planet.

Of course it is not publicly-traded, so that eliminates one source of pressure to be a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Of particular note is that they are the largest bank in the United States to not require or take a bailout during the financial crisis.

I imagine credit unions have the same lack of pressure that my bank does and it is incomprehensible to me that someone would patronize a financial institution that has incentives to screw them over to make their quarterly report look good.

It is entirely possible to interface with the financial system without dealing with scumbags, or putting your faith into digital magic beans that immediately collapse when the Ponzi stops.

You're just being pedantic now. VSCodium exists because VSCode is FOSS.

Your complaint is with the binary that Microsoft ships, not with the codebase.

I moved from vim to VS code as I found the vim IDE experience slightly lacking. Recently I've found myself getting more and more fed up with how sluggish VS code feels.

With the push from a friend, I tried neovim with the requisite LS plugins and I'm never going back. It's lightning fast and has feature parity (at least the ones I use) with VS Code.

Its a bit of a bitch to setup, but there are preconfigured solutions out there (NVChad, LunarVim, AstroVim) if you want to skip all that bullshit and just get coding...

Definitely recommend giving it a go!
Glitch allowed Uber Eats drivers to pick up passengers for rideshare trips
100% may be unlikely but certainly most. The vast majority of trips aren't long uninterrupted ones beyond the range of even current EVs nor do they require towing performance.

Grid capacity maybe. It would help if people stopped buying massively oversized vehicles for their actual everyday use in general. (But overall I'm fairly optimistic that EVs can be accounted for.)
that's a really cool idea! a few years ago I was tasked with building a simple interactive guide to help users with a specific thing (setting up 2FA on their Steam account and connecting it to our website), and it wasn't too bad to throw together a bespoke interactive guide flow thing in html/js, but yeah, you're right, Ink would make something like this very easy. will definitely tuck this idea into the back of my mind for future use, thanks!
I agree completely, but I recently discovered that this stuff has a tendency to leak beyond where it belongs.

Arduini are fine for prototyping, learning, and hacking, but I would avoid the software ecosystem for commercial products. Unfortunately, those raised on these boards do not see the peril of its hackery, and they will incorporate it into products. That’s where things start to go off the rails.

I am currently working on a bringing up a board that replaces one that included an entire 40-pin DIP board. That Arduini-based solution is difficult to maintain and fragile.

These are fine for hobbyists and experimenters, but please use a better tool chain if you need to do real work.
Sad news friend. I am extremely technical and was mining btc 18 months before Starbucks would let you buy a cup of coffee with it so yeah I know how it works. What modern internet funbux aficionados consistently fail to grasp is there isn't a coin in existence that cannot be trivially decoupled from the larger economy through nothing more complicated than removing market-makers incentives to accept them as value tokens. Go meditate on the xkcd where a crypto geek gets worked over with a wrench for his password until enlightenment is achieved.
> The problems with grid capacity for scaling up electric vehicles, their unsuitability for long uninterrupted trips, lack of towing performance, etc., seem well-covered enough

Those are very temporary problems. I would be very surprised if EVs don't end up outperforming ICEVs on all those metrics within a decade or two, and that's a pretty conservative estimate.
I believe there is a meaningful difference between an answer that's wrong and an answer that's nonsense.

If I were to multiply those numbers, it's likely that I'd get the wrong outcome because it's a long computation and at every step I have a nonzero chance of making a mistake. My solution, written out, would look like the correct algorithm, but with computational mistakes along the way. My result could be quite far off, but it would be in roughly the same order of magnitude. If I'd get an answer that's not roughly in the order of magnitude that I expect, I would spot it and -- if so motivated -- start over. If you'd look at my work, you would be able to conclude that I understand multiplication but made a computational error.

ChatGPT also diligently describes its work, and it's just nonsense. The final result is smaller than either of the factors. The algorithm it uses makes no sense. On smaller numbers, the algorithm also doesn't make sense, but it can ballpark the outcome. Therefore, it seems to be mostly using estimation rather than computation to get to the answer, and that estimation breaks down completely for very large numbers.

I think even the 'web app meeting business requirements' is equally deep work, and even more difficult than your kernel scheduler example since it involves working within often ill-defined business requirements.
It was rather my impression that the classes of bugs that rust fixes are entirely in memory management, which is to say that they never existed in managed languages in the first place. That makes it a big step forward for bare metal and performance critical code, but kind of unimportant anywhere where ex. Java, Python, or JavaScript are used.
Yes, Germans do not take liberty seriously. You could handle the color constraint by contract, but it's easier to force people than bribe them to sign voluntarily.
The part people are taking issue with is the fact that they chose to put out marketing material highlighting his past usage of RPis for covert surveillance like it's some cool hobby project. If it were just a case of a company hiring an ex-cop I doubt anyone would bat an eye.
No, phreakers have been around since the Bell system. That's Capt. Crunch etc.
I feel your pain, and have had similar experiences.

I do feel like wisdom is inherently an "internalize for your own mind" process, and on some level, nobody can do that for you. So of course you will be scrabbling around trying to piece things together until it clicks in your own mind.

I've found having a discussion with another human, who understands the topic, is very helpful. And it is one case where an "academic" setting can be useful, assuming you can actually talk to the professor rather than being forced to parse some unfathomable textbook.

Even that example — a textbook — is similar to what you said. It is literally designed to help you understand a topic. And yet, my experience with them mimics yours. A lot of the material is uselessly general, and a lot of it is uselessly specific and technical. And it almost never answers the specific question you actually want to know at a given moment. So, you have to internalize the information (slowly) and eventually get there.

Maybe there is an "event horizon" of me being able to absorb new material, rather than something external.
Talking about backpacks, its quite funny, like 12-14 years ago the local super-market Migros ran this promotion for a backpack, it was super cheap and an incredibly amount of people had them.

I still see those quite often. Now it could be that the same model was sold later. I had mine for many years and used it daily. And to be honest I could have continued using it but we were rich enough that my mother simply bought another one.

Cheap backpacks go for 30$, so even replacing them every 3 years isn't a bad deal compared to the 600$ backpack that lasts 10$+.

> Another example these days might be energy related - if you’re “well off” you can afford to get a well insulated house with solar and such to offset future energy costs.

The most effective way to reduce energy cost is to have a smaller living space and not drive a car. Also, instead of lots of heating, you can heat to lower home temperature and wear layers.

Now for the really poor in cold climates heating is certainty an issue sometimes and state welfare should be provided for those that can't afford that.
When I was a kid I had a DTMF tone-dialer which was a small device with all my numbers in it and a small speaker in a rubber cup. I could select a number from the list then hold the speaker against the receiver of a (hardwired) telephone to dial the number. I actually had two of these, the other of which I modified to simulate the signalling sound of dimes and quarters dropping into a payphone.

It's certainly true that some regs exist solely as alternative tax regimes, but Pfizer is chock full of really bad stuff.

There are numerous instances of falsified study data and many instances of injury.

We can't have it both ways. Since we're going down the compulsory dosing route, and we can bypass the necessarily arduous approval process for drugs, someone's gotta pay up when there's a mess.

This is the same thing that caused the Boeing fiasco. "It's really hard to certify an airframe" turned into "in this case it's nbd," and that turned into a bunch of planes crashing.

WASM stores everything in an array buffer, it doesn't use JavaScript objects because it's not JavaScript (though there are starting to be features that allow it to interoperate with JS objects). If it didn't store everything in a big memory array then it wouldn't really work because C assumes that

Disclosure: very much a beginner at this and I'm happy to be corrected on any of it.

My Ooni experience has been very bad. I have an IR thermometer, so I can check the temps: at the back it's 900, at the front 600. This is after an hour of warm-up. If I weren't so stubborn I'd have gotten rid of the Ooni already.

Furthermore, the lack of height means you can't use gravity to slide the pizza off the peel, like you can with a kitchen oven when you slide the rack out. So the pizza tends to stick to the peel and not want to go in. (I know: lots of flour on the peel. I do that.)

I've had much better results with the kitchen oven at 500, preheated for an hour, and a steel.

This article also neglects the art of gluten formation, which lets you stretch the dough without tearing it, AFAIK. Which raises a question for y'all: rolling pin, or hand-stretch? The owner of my local pizzeria, which has been there for 50 years, says rolling pin.

Even doing nothing but collecting energy the probe needs to consume some power to e.g. keep the batteries at not cryogenic temperatures, so if the panels' energy output goes below this minimum the probe can't really shut down itself without damaging its internals
