> The old argument for rules like this was often "broke cars reduce home value", so it's fun to try and see them use the pro-environment card but it's really to push out poor people.

It's one thing if you're legitimately doing a small repair on your car like changing a blown tire or replacing a cat some meth head sawed off... but honestly, everyone knows how bad a car hoarder can fuck up the looks of a neighborhood, not to mention the actually relevant emission issues: exhaust from damaged or half-broken vehicles being worked on, oil and other contaminant spills both on ground and in wastewater management systems, noise from angle grinders and hydraulic lifts, spray paint wafting through the neighborhood and setting on laundry, the fire risk originating from operating with welders, blowtorches, plasma cutters or shoddy DIY electrical work...

The problem is, you can't legally define "common sense" or "not being an arsehole", and too many arseholes abusing a regulation-free environment end up driving rules such as the one being discussed.

Here in Germany, we have a sensible solution: there are "hobbyist garages" where you drive in, can rent any kind of tool you can imagine, lift rigs or parking lots, and work on your car. Everything there is above the board - the places have oil removers on the wastewater collection, are in industrial zones where no people live adjacent and have safe disposal for everything (oil, coolant, AC refrigerants, fuel, batteries, ...). As a result of the availability of these services, almost no one but farmers does major repairs on their own property, and the farmers don't bother anyone because they are way out in rural areas.
Also, something not explicitly stated in this thread is that most of the most important science happens in the first year the rover / lander is there on Mars. You really want that first year to be successful, and anything beyond that is bonus.
I just tried to use it, as the limitations of Freeform bother me, and Jamboard has frustrating privacy implications.

Unfortunately, palm rejection on Excalidraw isn’t great - each time I rest my hand on the screen to start drawing with the pencil, random lines get drawn on the screen.

Shame, as the potential is high. Will bookmark for future in the hopes it improves. Thanks!

WWII in Europe ended not just with the fall of Berlin, but with the Marshall plan. If something like that happened after WWI, Europe would have been very different.

But enacting a Marshall plan requires a definite military defeat first. Else it's pacifying the aggressor again, with the same efficacy as in 1938.
Unless geohot ticked the record option during his twitter space, it wont have the replay button. Quite a shame, it was the most candid tech talk I've seen Musk was in, and Hotz was challenging him his points about twitter engineering and policies.

I saw someone posted a screenrecord on youtube[0], but the whole space lasted 2 hours, with Elon being there for an hour.

Action script 3 was actually pretty great. It was essentially a strongly typed JavaScript long before Typescript came out.

I was always surprised that it didn't get more traction. Though Typescript is leaps and bounds beyond where AS3 ever was
I remember creating a simple "catch the falling X" game in Flash 20 years ago. It was basic, but had everything you'd expect in a beginner project: points, multiple game states/screens, a victory condition, basic story (which was just a screen at the beginning, like NES). The thing is, I was a literal child and I also had no clue how to code -- I did everything by following tutorials and gluing together code I copy&pasted&modified. And it worked! And people played it!

They all thought it was pretty shit, but to me it was more important that some random person across the globe genuinely picked up something I wrote, played it, and then wrote up a review of it.

I showed it to my parents and they immediately started pushing me to learn programming.. and well here I am now. Thanks Flash.

It blows my mind that no one has made a tool like that in so long. It had the same quality as Excel, where any non-technical person could just look up a tutorial, right click a bit, and make something usable. Why has the pinnacle of ease of use in game creation been achieved and never replicated since?
>and to beget more science. <snip> but that's not the same as being useful.

For those looking to keep a job in sciences, begetting more science sounds pretty darn useful
It depends on the city code. In my county "junk cars" are not allowed at all although that's not super clearly defined, car repairs aren't allowed at all unless in "an enclosed building", and you can't have more then a certain number of cars visible from the street.

That said - last week my neighbor had his car up on a jack, in the street, for 2 days straight. He was repairing something under the rear of the car in cold weather. He's "allowed" to do this because none of us are mean and called in a complaint so the city didn't know about it.
I have a 1965 Mustang I recently did some work on that required some grinding and welding. Grinding is quite loud.

In a separate instance, I replaced a wheel hub bearing on a newer model Explorer, and I beat the old one with a four pound sledge for over an hour trying to get it out.
Interesting. It sounds like they used cells from someone with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY sex chromosomes) but I'm curious if a similar technique could be used to generate male and female cells from any male (XY sex chromosomes). Does anyone on here have an idea of why they needed to start with cells derived from someone with "mosaic" Klinefelter's?
The way that VS Code is spreading, and the stranglehold Microsoft has on development and direction of the product, give me very strong IE4/5/6 vibes. I really hope some of the open source alternatives that aren't corporation-controlled gain traction over the next year.

Woah that is so cool. What did the bytes do? Was it code for the lander?
When you sign up for someone (like a pension plan, and yes, it's a choice) to manage your money, you can't pick and choose individual stock. Just like when you go to a restaurant, you can't order them to go and buy a different kind of carrots because you have a major problem with what kind of carrots they use. However, money managers do have their metrics they are held up to, and if they generally don't perform, they get fired. At some point, a decision was made to work for an organization that compensates their employees via a pension plan vs. for example taking a salary and picking individual stocks personally, that is presumably a free will decision just like when I choose to get my food at a restaurant, I give up my option of picking every single ingredient in my food.
I wouldn't but, sure, naming the companies is probably just in the mild-oversharing camp and it does make the post more concrete.
Kinda click-baity because he doesn't use Flash - at least not Flash Player, which was my first association.

I think there's a very strong case for writing a clean-room Flash Player implementation.
You can withdraw your money by moving it to a Binance US wallet or honestly any other wallet (including one on Coinbase) and withdraw from there in USD.

I always enjoy looking at these weird little niche languages to see what interesting ideas they have. Ink's got some interesting parallel execution concepts in its 'Tunnels', but I actually think the most interesting thing Ink introduces are itsversion of 'lists', which aren't lists so much as sets, or maybe enumeration types, or maybe they're actually a dictionary with numeric values, or... maybe they're all of those things at once, using a single structure?

Also a bold - but it turns out sensible - choice, for a language oriented towards producing text to not really have extensive support for strings. Because it turns out that strings are a bad idea in most cases! What you actually want are rich templates.
I know we are scratching semantic here, but

> Complex problems exist...

Complex is an attribute for the solution, the problem could be solvable or not.
It's not a straw man. Just pointing out the delicious irony.

You claim we shouldn't listen to Kissinger because he "didn't seem to have qualms at raining death on millions of innocent people".

Your logic being, don't listen to his calls for peace, what we need is war. Which would unavoidable result in "raining death on [..] innocent people"
I think touch screens are a bigger factor. You can't have small buttons in a touch-screen UI, because they must be targets for your finger. (OTOH, swipes in a touch UI are a lot easier than mouse drag-and-drop. So the optimal touch UX probably has lots of drag-activated pie menus. And confirmation flows for potentially destructive actions, to cope with the lower accuracy of touch interactions.)
This sounds bad but it's one of those laws that prevents trouble.

(As an aside, I once signed a lease in San Francisco that was eleven pages thick, small print, and for each clause you could easily imagine the lawsuit that led to its inclusion in the lease terms.)

I have a neighbor who has a cousin who does this. He gets old POS cars and then tries to get them running. It's not a bad hobby, but he does it in the street, and in other people's garage spots (the houses here have a small shared parking lot.)
This is specifically called out as no-no in the lease. So when this dumbass tries to fix a car in my parking spot, I can call property management, and they can go talk to the guy and get him to understand that he has to move his POS lemon car right now or there's going to be a tow truck there in about twenty minutes.

That's why laws like this exist: one dumbass ruining things for everybody.
There's a limit to that. If you dump a barrel of something, and it leeches into the ground water, or washes out into the neighbor's yard, then what you do matters.

Cars have fluids that aren't exactly environmentally friendly.
It is truly unfortunate to see how ignorant and misinformed most of these answers are. First, to understand what is a mental illness we have to deduce strong neuro-biological evidence of the problem and after-so we can proceed with an effective measure, a treatment, that is actually a treatment.

Currently, any kind of psychiatric label is equivalent to archaic prophecies. There's no credible scientific evidence to back up any kind of mental illness diagnostic. It is a facade.

Each and every medication supplied by psychiatrists is not a treatment. It is an inhumane process of complete eradication. Dopamine is a product of hormones among others and it is the core fuel of the brain. Dopamine is the resource with which you anticipate time. Dopamine is the resource with which you can memorize and have a cognitive function as a human being. Dopamine is the reason you have an imagination. Dopamine is the resource that transforms into energy for you to move your body. Shutting it down is nothing but a legal modern euthanasia.

You justify pills for an effective measure, when science itself tends to look towards the gut-microbiome and the inflammation reaching all the way up to the brain. Exact causes are still unknown, but: there are other things one should be treated with, and they are not pills. The ketogenic diet has completely cured people who have been diagnosed as schizo-affective (schizophrenia that is actually worse). People who have been diagnosed as bipolar have also seen tremendous benefits from the ketogenic diet and have been cured. There are many supplements one can use to optimize the overall neuro-biology along with daily routines that reinforce it.

But guess what? No psychiatrist actually pursues those choices, the biggest majority of them are "Here's your pills, next. You don't want them? Let me call the police.". Seeing people treating family members like that is also disheartening. Ignorance got us blind, blind to the madness we as society reinforce and blind to the actual truth.

Calling that a human process is completely ignorant, there's no way for you to know how it is like unless you have studied neuro-biology or you have been under the influence of a dopamine antagonist (commonly known as anti-psychotics).

And let me tell you something, there's nothing worse from seeing your lifetime go by and you being completely unable to live because you got no brain fuel. The worst possible prison is in our brains. Sometimes we build it ourselves, and sometimes other people do. Anti-psychotics is other people. That's how the real trauma occurs. That's how many innocents get "treated" from the society and the psychiatric community.
right, democracy instead of capitalism, i should have looked it up. and yes, i would support all of that. the big roadblock, it seems to me, is that our government in the usa is now so dysfunctional as to make that stuff all but impossible. not sure how we get out of that quagmire.
The maneuver can be pierced if the plaintiffs prove that the subsidiary was undercapitalized.

So, a non-corrupt judge may allow this if the maneuver is genuinely done for accounting / management / etc. reasons and the new subsidiary has sufficient capital to cover the liabilities.

A non-corrupt judge may also "allow" it if the plaintiffs never attempt to pierce the veil in the first place. Like a lizard casting off its tail, this may be enough to appease the lawyers representing the class. With the issue never getting to the judge, the judge never has enough information to disallow it.
WASM is the "run a proper VM" approach mentioned in the first line.

You can turn the situation around: Pick some non-systemd OS, stick to it, and avoid software that does not run on it. You will end up with the old and boring tech, but it will be robust and run more reliable in the long term.

I've been running Alpine Linux in production for 4 years now.
> here's a city that makes a move like this because they are tired of broken down cars in poor neighborhoods and then end up repealing the rule when cops get uppity and apply it to middle/upper class people who are doing vehicle restorations in their driveways.

Basically, they are making up their own laws by trial and error, which just seems bizarre to me.

I am completely ignorant of the law in this regard – how ridiculous can city or county laws get before someone is obliged to step in even if no one in the jurisdiction challenges it in court?

Or is it possible that the county could start fining people for, I don't know, staying up past midnight; and that would be fine so long as no one in the county sues?
I get your point, we're talking about different things though. I'm strictly talking about money movements on chain, in areas where there is sufficient public interest to mandate it. That isn't a radical idea for government finance and central banking as an example, why should this be hidden from the public? The current system is opaque and encourages corruption/fraud.

It was in reply to the above comment saying our entire society is run on scams, which is true. We can start cleaning it up from the top, which is the smart way to go about it instead of tilting at legal windmills. In the current system, you're more likely to get caught and punished as a petty criminal than someone who siphons off millions. Yes, some fraud will always be possible in free societies but it doesn't have to be the way it currently works. More transparency and better record keeping are a positive thing. Even if we take your example of someone inputting wrong data, they're more likely to be found than if there is no data at all and thus nothing to scrutinize. People who falsify data make mistakes just like anyone does.
Like lead was for humans in the last millennia, will PFAS be studied in our classrooms about a time where it was used for almost everything.
> I don't see an end to this, I think it's getting worse. It looks like a revolution picking up speed. The places that stopped revolutions did it with very heavy measures. If there is a way to stop this that is not that, I don't know what it is.

Well, they do this thing where they form a mob and harass people.

The thing is, their ingroup is relatively small, about 8%. If sizeable chunk of the outgroup started using their tactics against them...
> Telling other people what they can do with their property is fundamentally reprehensible.

One man's freedom ends where another man's freedom begins. Fine if you're doing small scale car repairs on your own car in a residential zone, not fine if the smell from your hacky welding job disrupts my enjoyment of my property.

If you want to do shit that impacts your neighbors, go and rent a garage in an industrial or commercial zone.
I suppose this might force some people to install sound-proofing in their garage. It's amazing what layers of plyboard can do. I knew someone that played a drum-set in their garage and I could not even hear it 2 feet outside. This probably won't work with roll-up doors though. And for Sacramento during the summer I guess this only helps for people with air conditioning vents in the garage because it can get hot there.
Sorry, but the comparison holds.

I have little sympathy for someone who is in the top 1% of income earners in the US not getting what they want.

> Yes, Mastodon is more difficult to use than whatever social media platforms you are on now.

What about Mastodon is more difficult to use? Isn't it just choosing a server, typing its URL, signing up for a new account and then you are ready to post?

The UX does not look any more difficult than Twitter either. Both support search, hashtags, following people, creating lists, retweets (called boost in Mastodon), commenting. The UX looks and behaves similarly too. So why do people say that Mastodon is more difficult to use?
That doesn't sound right... it would be ~5W, WiFi is supposed to max out at 100mW (so even at 10% efficiency it would be still just a watt)
"as to what would work" ... that's because we, the collective we, have not spent any sincere time and effort to find other ways. Capitalism in it's various incarnations and disguises has worked extremely well for just the right amount of people. Those days are coming to an end, and unlike, say, the laws of physics, we can adopt new beliefs, values and ways of doing things that benefit the collective we. Finance is basically made up as we go as it is.
Maybe a hot pocket isn't the best example (I couldn't eat 3 hot pockets per day either, I would probably feel sick). A hot pocket weights about 8oz, for reference the meat alone in a restaurant burger weighs about 5-8oz typically.

Opened it up in Numbers, changed a couple of cells, saved it. Later I realized none of my changes were in the CSV file. Turns out Apple saved it as some kind of other proprietary file.

Yes, the Numbers program saved it as a Numbers document.

Just like Excel saves Excel files.

That's why it's called "import," not "open."

When you pressed Save, a Save As dialog popped up asking for a name. If you had just saved it to the same file, there would be no Save As dialog. It wouldn't ask you for a name because it knew the name.

This is standard across every app on every Mac going back decades. I don't use Windows very often, but I believe it's the same there, too. You aren't asked for a filename if you're updating the same file.

It doesn't sound like an Apple problem, it sounds like you didn't pay attention, and when the computer did what you asked, you blamed the computer. There's nothing Apple or Microsoft or anyone else can do about that.

> (As long as I am ranting: what the hell is up with billionaires, anyway? Quite a few of them have accumulated more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes, but still they want more. It’s disgraceful.)

I mean its more like equity than real money they can directly spend.

Also most of their wealth is in companies that are no where near worth their marketcap, such as Tesla which isn't even close to VW in sales, yet somhow is worth more.

So once the hype dies down, or the founder sells enough stocks, the market cap is going to take a nose dive for sure.

And as rich as elon is, we have seen how he is putting Billions into twitter, so they can spend it, just not in normal lifetime stuff.

I gave this an earnest try over the course of a few months. There were notable bugs in nearly all of the extensions I needed to use for work. It's known that Microsoft ships custom builds of the open source portion of VS Code, and there's certainly something missing from the open source core. I ended up going back to hobbled Atom while I wait for projects like Zed to mature.
