Nonsense. City centers were devastated by city planners in the 50/60s and cities in the US were hurt by zoneing regulation.

In fact, if you have good mixed use cities, your city shouldn't even need much policy in the first place.

Safety doesn't come from policy, but civil society. If you are relaying on policy to operate a basic store in a city you know you have big problems already.

And blaming 'wokeness' for the problems of inner cities in the US is crazy.
I’d like to see more microbiome studies related to stress, or how to just get your gut in gear (no gas, etc). Most of the things I find, though, are fluff pieces or anecdotal “evidence” of how taking supplement X had some kind of effect that might as well have been a placebo.
Unfortunately, if there's one thing the world doesn't need at this point, with the amount of problems that can only be solved by cooperation, it's even more tribalism.
And this is why rent control is bad for society - very beneficial for those who have it, prevents anyone else from finding cheap land nearby (because the remaining non-controlled housing is in higher demand :/)

Seriously, no body do a little research before naming his public projects to see if some other public project had the same name that are you about to use ?

I'm talking about that D , aka D2, aka DLang has been using this name for a lot of years. This would create a lot of awful confusion!
He means alone for "code supervision". That means you communicate with clients and/or analysts for your specs, but don't get code review or anything else from a senior engineer. No advice on how to architect, when to refactor, etc.
Can we stop it with the soviet union nostalgia?

Considering that it's being used to fuel a russian imperialist invasion in eastern Europe, it leaves a bad taste.

I'd say it depends on the use case.

For example I own a cheap non branded wire stripper (an upgrade to using a knife) instead of the high quality 150€ self adjusting Knipex equivalent (which "only" makes life easier and saves time).

But with safety features I wouldn't budge (eg. saw and grinding tools). For example Bosch blue has anti kickback in certain angle grinders which detects jamming discs and stops the motor.
Debt is a big big factor too. F has 100 billion+ in debt. GM too. Tesla has near zero debt.
I season my stainless steel pan with a few drops of oil, rubbed on with a paper towel. Very rarely do I have problems with anything sticking to it.

If I'm searing a steak or something at high heat, sure, it's going to leave some burnt-on marks, but if you add water and leave it simmering on minimum heat with a bit of baking soda for 15 minutes, pretty much anything will wipe off with no effort.
I'm not a massive proponent of regular fasting but, having done it long enough, I've learned what hungry really means. The experience was invaluable because of that.

I had (and still have to some extent) that same feeling you have but that's not hunger. For me, sometimes it was boredom, sometimes it was routine ("it's 6pm, dinner time!") or just straight up gluttony but that's not real hunger. Want to eat and need to eat are very different.

I'm saying all of this with a bag of cheezits next to me at 12am.

It's also a matter of skills. Cooking doesn't have to be that time consuming if you know how to do it efficiently. And you don't have to cook everyday. Some people cook more in the weekend and then save it for later. Unfortunately, this is something that isn't taught at school.
Writer's block is of the frustrating experience that every writer has to face in one way or another
I have a slightly different take.

Everyone who claims 20 years is more than enough is looking at highly successful works.

Imagine that you are not that popular author whose works are his life savings. Pennies dripping from works you published are your life line that lets you buy food or sustain you in a way.

Without it big publishing companies would just publish stuff without paying royalties, because they could can just do that. With 75 years it will be also some inheritance for authors children - should we also let publishing companies just take that?

There is much more not that successful works that still earn money and need protection from publishing houses than there is "Harry Potters".
From my experience implementing search using Solr (or Elasticsearch) is simple to get the basics and hard to get really really good.
So I guess most developers/companies are satisfied with "good enough".

Servo had always been an experimental renderer and most of its successful parts have already been merged in Firefox. It's been years, can you stop beating this merged horse?

Embedding Firefox doesn't increase marketshare and protects more people from tracking. Nobody gives a shit that your Electron app runs with Firefox and not Chromium.

Now, I do agree that the Mozilla CEO pay is way too high, but holy fuck find something new and useful to complain about.
Does anyone have any references to research or studies discussing the design and approach of control rooms? Research on human factors, human machine interfaces, and cognitive load? Fro example, I assume the airplane and astronaut industries have thought about this a lot.

Many open source projects have startups behind them putting in all the work, usually with the hope of monetizing it. Which is a really hard problem - the choices are support and services (the software is FOSS but you sell support and implementation/review services to enterprises - what Red Hat used to do), or open core (only the core software is FOSS, and there are proprietary Enterprise versions with more Enterprise features). Neither are obvious and many open source startups fail.
Standard practice in Germany, although the credit system here is a bit better than the US since it works by "demerits" rather than "building credit". Meaning you start out high, and only lose credit if you fail to make payments on a loan.

Also I think landlords can only see a high level summary and final score, not the details of your financial situation.

Soapbox[1] is probably the most mature alternative to Mastodon, but the general consensus seems to be that it can't be used because most users of Mastodon don't align with the Soapbox creator's view on politics.

It's worse than that, there are still works that predate the founding of the United States of America that are still under copyright:

https://www.techdirt.com/2012/09/19/what-public-domain-why-l...

Originally authored in 1755, set to expire in 2052, a mere 297 years after it was originally written!
Calculate the hidden cost. Slap a proportional tax on the products that cause the cost. Then split the tax income evenly to the population.

It could be that everyone just delegates to elastic search or similar which I think might be incapable of exact string searching (a trade off to get better fuzzy searching and speed). Tuning ES is probably possible but takes commitment and is complicated I suspect most don’t bother! I used it in one side project and a lot of tuning is needed for your use case.
You would be extremely surprised. There are alot of musk supporters. e.g, George Hotz twitch stream.

As much as I dislike big corporations abusing the system, like Disney, that’s a good point. In particular for novelists and artists, it can take decades for discovery and subsequent appreciation of their work.
There was that one guy who showed up at the bank with a moving truck, sheriff's deputies, a lawyer, and a court order to seize the bank branch's assets. When they started to take the bank manager's desk and chair, that finally convinced them to pay attention and pay up.

But this was after they tried to steal his home (which they didn't even have a mortgage on) and dragged him through court and refused to pay the court costs.

So, not optimal, but still something that should be happening more frequently. If a few hundred thousand bank branches got repo'd every year, one for each time they ripped someone off, that should cause them to take notice.

10k is still half of recently re-IPOd Porsche profit per car though. That probably doesn't explain the majority of their valuation. Especially given that Porsche are similarly priced [0] and don't have revenue from CO2 certificate sales which are 20% of Tesla profits [1].

And what makes things hard is that sometimes the cheap one is good enough for use you will ever get. Think of something like home renovation tools. Doing thing one time, even if badly might be enough. Not that nicer tools wouldn't do it faster, easier and better. Though price difference can be huge.
> I lost 50 pounds in 2020 with this one trick: I counted calories and stayed under 2100 per day.

Yes, I don't think there's anyone that will dispute this. Weight loss is pretty simple.

However, it's definitely not easy. "Just keep your calories below X" is way easier said than done. It's like saying: "Everyone can run an ultramarathon, just keep putting your foot in front of the other until you're there. It's really simple."

I lived on 500€/month for several years with only a microwave oven, and if your BMI is between 20 and 25, you can just eat canned vegetables at 0.50€ half of the time and be healthy.

I can't eat green beans anymore though.
I think you're kind of playing dumb here, but I'll indulge.

Private companies can censor whomever they want, and that has been the case as long as the US has existed. I'd prefer it if Twitter was more consistent about it, but that's just my opinion.

The government never paid Twitter to censor anyone. The FBI paid Twitter 4 million as reimbursement for processing their information requests, and Twitter pushed back against a lot of those requests.

Companies getting paid by the government is absolutely how capitalism works. Lockheed Martin and Boeing get trillions of dollars of government money to build weapons. SpaceX gets paid to launch satellites. Tesla gets paid to make electric cars. Hell Elon wouldn't be the (second) richest man in the world if it wasn't for our tax dollars.

Nobody should be surprised by any of this. It's how our system has worked for over 250 years.
I recently mail-ordered rice, and because I wanted to buy two different styles I did not opt for the 3kg (like 6 lbs) bag but 2 packs of 1.8kg. Turns out 1.8kg were packed in 3 bags of 600g, so now I have 6 bags at 600g rice, that on first glance look like they are paper, but its actually plastic coated paper. Its really hard to avoid at times.

As for avoiding bags I have two wicker baskets like this https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B009BMXLLI/ which means I can avoid shopping bags and they are actually quite convenient for carrying.

Tap water is luckily very drinkable in Germany (rumor has it that Coca-Cola company bottles it and sells it under their 'Bonaqua' brand).

However, there is so much out of our control with plastics that require regulation. Just think of the packaging.
The point is that they get perpetuated through any words. "Ban" a word and a phrase will take its place.

This is very visible in the words used for those with mental disabilities. They used to be called "idiots" by doctors. Then, as idiot became a common insult, doctors moved on to "<people with a> mental retard". When that became a common insult, they moved on to "mentally challenged" and so on. This will be a never-ending arms-race though: as long as people insist on insulting others by comparing them to those that have a mental disability, they will always pick up the current medical terminology for them and use it as an insult.

Note that I'm not saying we should be calling children with Down syndrome "idiots" or "retards". Even though the "fight" will probably be endless, it's worth it not to use known derogatory terms for your pacients. Similarly, even though racists and other bigots can express their bigotry even with perfectly neutral language, it doesn't mean we should accept the use of slurs.

But it's also important not to get a false impression that just because Richard Spencer isn't using the n-word to refer to black people (in public), it means he's not being racist. You can always use language to teach others to hate BIPOC and ask for them to be thrown out of the country, along with LGBTQIA+ people if you're at it.
This is a basic and common misunderstanding. ChatGPT is able to do that because people are able to do it and their reasoning appears in ChatGPT's database, which it syntactically links to your queries. It has no semantic understanding of the content.

People aren't being "dismissive", they are explaining how ChatGPT works and why that is very different from being able to do math.
As others said this is very weak. The implementation seems to be that you generate a random permutation of the values 0 to 255 and use it as a lookup table. An even simpler and faster approach would be to generate a random stream of bytes and repeatedly use it to xor the input bytes (wrap-around the key if the data to encrypt is longer than the key). This shouldn't be any weaker, and has the added bonus that the encrypt and decrypt function are identical.

Also, don't call it private key. That term is reserved for asymmetric encryption. This here is just a key.
Is thid satire?

School teachers make nowhere near that, even post retirement, with a pension.

The state with the highest salary band for primary education is Maryland at $99500 at 90p.

Most states cap out below $132k, and that's after 20 years of experience and several Master's degrees in Education (not free).

Admins make more than that, but not much more.

Private school educators are paid by tuition and do not receive property tax revenue afaik.

Police officers in many cities make more than this (also funded by prop taxes).

Also, a thought experiment: what if it _were_ possible for teachers to retire as multi-millionaires? How would this impact the quality of education our children receive? How would this impact our future societies?
So don't smoke weed, and disparate enforcement won't matter.

I voted for the legalization of marijuana. That doesn't mean smoking weed is a good idea. It's expensive, too. Can't really claim one can't make ends meet when spending money on weed.

But as I wrote, we each make our choices.
Full ride is always a different situation, of course. We are talking about the high cost of university, obviously if anyone gets a full scholarship, they go to university at the best price. Or a scholarship amount that makes it roughly equivalent to a public university.

But most don't get that, and with many private universities at $250K for 4 years, it simply is the worst choice someone can make - to be saddled with that debt. Unless as also stated elsewhere, if you go to a T1 school.

I actually did go to my first year to a small private university but that was long ago when it was reasonable. $4,500 for room, board, and tuition. That same exact university is now $60,000 for the same thing. And bringing $4,500 to present day, that is equivalent to about $18,000.

I saw zero difference in lifestyle myself. I think this is just one of the things that small universities say to justify their fucked up tuition price. Maybe 40 years ago, you can go for lifestyle, but now....no fucking way. How is a lifestyle worth $250,000?

Yes, in a community college it didn'th happen, but it did when I went to the next 2 years at public university in a university town.

Also, at the community college, actually I did meet people and hung out with them, as well as made excellent friends elsewhere that I still am friends with.

But the whole "dorm vacation"" idea is a loser idea, unless you have a full ride. I can think of a lot of other vacations that I could afford with $240,000. The reason to go to university is one single reason these days - to get one single piece of paper. You are paying for one sheet of paper. That's it. Today. Not 40 and 50 years ago...then it was ok to go for the "experience" and I mean that. But not now. Hells no. Those days are long gone. Shit, you could get a degree in English or History or whatever you wished because you could easily pay for university. Now....best only to get a computer science or business degree. For anything else, just learn on Udemy or Khan academy. No other degrees pays back the cost of college.

By the way, here in California, one can go to community college and 2 years of California State University and get a university degree for $15,000 to $20,000 in total. Total cost of a degree (not including room, board and books but one has to pay that anywhere - tuition is issue). Best deal in the world.
hailing housing as an investment leads to the hazard of too big to fail, when too many people have it as their only asset.

there are regional trends that can make it a great investment, and the secular trend of urbanization (and the growing US population, and growing economy) also help, but almost all of the growth in prices is due to very harmful shortsighted policy, and the circumstance of the move to near zero interest rate.
Not aligned with current consensus, perhaps. But before you equate that to "reality", recall that the profession once had consensus about lobotomy.

Evidence in psychological science is much more superficial than in, say, physics. I don't doubt that what you say is reflected in the literature, but I do doubt that it reflects the lived reality of those so treated.
Captions are broken everywhere, on streaming services but also blu-ray. The whole system seems incredibly poorly thought out.

Basically, you only get to chose two settings: captions on/off, and caption language.

Now, personally I think captions are very distracting and I prefer them off. However, some content is not completely in a language I can understand, so those parts need captions.

For example: I was watching a movie the other day where 99% of the movie was in English. However, there were a few short scenes where some characters spoke in Chinese. Since I can’t understand Chinese I had to stop the movie, rewind a bit, enable captions, re-watch the scene and then disable captions again. This happened several times during the movie.

It seems to me that the system could have been so much better with a tiny bit more metadata and some additional settings.

Simply let me select the following:

- Languages that I can understand when spoken.

- Caption language for parts that are not in one of the languages I can understand.

The only thing that is needed to implement this is to add a ‘source’ language tag to each captioned line. If the source language is one of those understood by the viewer then don’t display the caption.
Check out iOS "Shortcuts" if you have an iPhone. It's... visual-ish programming, a bit buggy, very incomplete, poorly supported by third party apps, slow, evolving quickly and lots of fun. Control Apple's core apps, bang on internet APIs, incorporate NFC tags, it's fun.
The point is that the type system doesn't properly reflect that. You should be able to declare a generic method that takes some T, and throws everything that T.foo() throws, for example.
IKEA make a fantastic stainless steel[1] pan called "SENSUELL". Best pan I ever bought! Heavy indestructible construction, heats evenly, retains heat, cleans easily, can be placed under the grill, looks good, etc. The price has gone up recently, but it's still great value IMO!

[1] actually, like many high-end pans, it uses a 3-ply construction with an aluminium layer between two steel layers
Speaking as a part-time musician that knows a lot of musicians, I don’t know anyone who’s worried about accidentally using prior works… that sentence doesn’t make a lot of sense, unless you’re talking about DJs & sampling & remixing specifically? In that case all samples are infringing, there doesn’t need to be a list of wrong samples, because all creative authors automatically have copy rights of their works, in the US. Sampling and remixing is somewhat tolerated as long as you steer completely clear of copying the whole song, and I’ve heard precedent tends to favor cases where people sample from multiple source and not just one other song.

Can you share some example cases of the debt you’re talking about? I’m not aware of any major problem along the lines you’re describing for people who are creating new music and not intentionally infringing a little bit.
Precisely that is the problem here.
I should clarify that this is at the R&D + manufacturing facility, not customer facing shop. :)

That website makes Firefox use too much CPU and the fan of my laptop starts to scream - very annoying.

Looks like we need even more leading professionals!
If you look at housing as equity why do you have problems with renting it out?
I'd say most of us with technical minds will do that.

Problem is, figuring out most of them depends on having the thorough user manual at hand to read each gauge or button's purpose; AND understanding what that purpose means, which depends on having an engineering education from the same era when they were built.
I have a firewall that allows only a small range of IPv4s to my SSH servers.

Then I have a bastion server with Teleport to access the servers when I'm not on an allowed network. I could have used Tailscale or OpenVPN or even OpenSSH again, but I went with Teleport. Mostly because it also supports Kubernetes well and does user management and MFA nicely.

I also, for fun, did setup a GeoIP firewall on the bastion. It uses iptables and xtable-addons and a maxmind database. I blocked many countries that are known do such login attempts. I of course blocked myself out of the bastion during the setup of the GeoIP firewall.
Things entering the public domain should be considered in the context of lowering the cost of access more than the work being the basis of new dirivative works. It's far more important that millions of people can read or watch something without having to pay a fee to the publisher than it is for someone to use the work as source material for a new work.

Copyright should be much shorter so that everyone can access culturally relevant art and books even if they have very little money. Right now the only option for many is piracy because the works their peers are seeing work enter the public domain until decades after they die.
