This happened to me on Instagram. I changed my password then logged out to test it. When I tried to log in, I received a generic error. I Googled the message and it appeared to be a “temporary” IP block and people claimed it should work in 24 hours. So I tried the next day, same error. I left it a bit more and came back 3 days later - same error. I then turned on my VPN and was immediately able to log in. So the IP I’ve been using for 2+ years, the one that changed the password, on a known browser, is blocked. But a random IP Instagram has never seen before? No worries!
> I advise you to take all advice with a grain of salt. :) It's just what someone else thinks, it's not something magic.

Agreed, of course. Or maybe even suggestions that have some caution codified into them, such as "innovation tokens" from: https://boringtechnology.club/ Moderation in all things and so on.

> Heh. I was going to say that the only way this advice is "dangerous" is if a point-haired boss hears about it.

This is also true. I would definitely suggest that there are industry wide trends that urge people to rush towards "the next big thing" or sometimes adopt certain technologies or approaches because "others are doing it, so clearly we also have to". Perhaps a lot of it can simply be summed up by hype cycles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle

> Just don't merge it into the main branch.

The problem the way I see it, is that people don't just experiment with new architectures within the confines of an existing system. Typically they give in to the "second system effect" in regards to their former tech choices when starting a new project, which can have long term implications and choices that are really hard to change down the line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect

But hey, at the opposite end of that spectrum, maybe I shout at the cloud too much; exploring new stuff is certainly desirable - there were certainly benefits to being an early adopter of something like Docker or 12 Factor App principles, even though not without seeing what works and what doesn't in non-prod projects first.
Nice.

It's about typical for modern physics engines.

Totally rigid body physics is reasonably well solved by now. It suffers from the "boink" problem; in impulse-constraint systems, there are instantaneous changes in velocity on collisions. This looks OK for small objects and terrible for large ones. This is the main reason game simulations usually look wrong.

If you make everything soft, that works OK. But everything looks like Jell-O, as some early Pixar devs wrote. That's a soft-body system.

What's hard is doing things which have just a little elasticity. Which is most real-world materials. That's because you have to simulate what's happening on very short time scales, much shorter than a visual frame time. This is possible, but the compute load suddenly jumps by orders of magnitude during some collisions. That's hard for real-time systems. Also, you start to need double precision. If you don't need real time, as for film work, it's not too bad. Integration of stiff systems of differential equations is Not Fun. I used to do that stuff.

Note, in the video, how soft the suspensions are.
Because aluminum has a lower current carrying capacity (EV's have relatively high amperage, compared to transmission lines - 30A-50A vs 1A). And the greater resistance means a larger cross-section(~1.5x) than copper, which in a space-constrained environment is a problem.

Also, access to aluminum means trading with China, Russia, or India - which means inherent geopolitical threats to your supply chain. (Copper is Peru and Chile, so somewhat less contentious)

Are these issues solvable? Likely. They are, as the adage goes "just engineering problems". But they aren't solved yet, and that means, if you run a business, you hedge.

There should be right-of-way regardless of where you cross if the only way to access public land is to cross privately-owned land, specifically as one of many factors to disincentivize this stuff. The landowner should have zero recourse to stop people if they're blocking off public land.
I'm assuming you're talking about situations where someone lists an item they don't have on eBay, then have it "drop shipped" from another seller on Amazon once it sells (or vice versa)?

If so, you might be interested to know the INFORM act requires sellers who meet the $20K threshold to disclose if a different seller is shipping the item and if so, if the buyer request, they have to provide the contact info for that seller.

"Whether the high-volume third party seller used a different seller to supply the consumer product to the consumer upon purchase, and, upon the request of an authenticated purchaser, the information described in clause (i) relating to any such seller that supplied the consumer product to the purchaser, if such seller is different than the high-volume third party seller listed on the product listing prior to purchase."

I know a lot of buyers have been frustrated with this kind of online arbitrage drop shipping for years and most of the marketplaces don't enforce their policies about it - it will be interesting to see if this helps curb the practice.

My state offers RealID now. When I renewed last year, I received a valid, current, expires in 2026, drivers license that is not a Real ID/is Not for Federal ID. (I’m a citizen.)

Are you trying to say that Real ID makes it easier to prove someone is here legally? I agree with that.

P => Q does not mean that (not P) => (not Q) ∴ RealID doesn’t help prove someone is not here legally.

FTA:

“Landowner Views on Corner-Crossing

There are many reasons that private landowners want corner-crossing to remain off-limits, but we’ll cover just two common concerns here.”

The first concern is that it would be a violation of the fifth amendment’s “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

The second is that it’s hard enough to prevent people from trespassing on one’s land, and allowing them to cross these corners would make that worse.

(I’m not claiming these are strong arguments, just that the article does mention them)
Based on your post I would suggest tech sales (sometimes called presales engineering or consulting).

You might be able to apply directly or you could try one of the bootcamp type programs they have around[0]. Try not to spend too much money on one (preferably zero).

Fortunately tech sales pays about the same as dev work, in some cases even more.

Whatever you choose good luck!

> People eventually get jaded of the false progress cycle

Most people just don't want to do the work. Changing a lifelong eating habit is hard. Moving from a sedentary lifestyle to a more active lifestyle is hard. There are ups and downs and overall the progression is definitely more of a journey than just an overnight thing.

We live in a therapeutic culture which just wants to address things with a pill or with a surgery. Actually admitting that your lifestyle sucks and that it must change is not something we a society have embraced much in the last few decades.

In a nation where people are sued all the time for innocent things, I'm not surprised. For instance, if you have a Koi Pond too deep, it may qualify as a public nuisance, or a pool. And if someone comes on your property without your permissions, falls in and dies, you can be sued.

I don't hunt. But if I owned one of these properties, I would probably be equally annoyed by it. A bunch of people, with guns? One trips and falls into your property, accidentally shooting someone? Yup, you get sued, and potentially lose your property.
> Surely that's not a protected bike lane at all?

Unfortunately, the definition of protection is not standardized, so one may consider flexi-bollards, parking stops, bollards, parked cars, planters, concrete curbs, and jersey barriers forms of protection. The standard term for a facility like this is cycletrack, but that term is not as commonly used.

For what it's worth, the term protected, in a traffic engineering context refers to exclusive movement through an intersection based on traffic signals. The most common example is a protected left turn as indicated by a left green arrow on a traffic signal. The other option for the left turn on either a solid green light or flashing left turn arrow is a permissive left where left turning traffic has to yield to oncoming traffic. Ironically, protected bike lanes rely on cyclists making a permissive rather than a protected movement for every intersection they traverse.

This is an example of why I think "underrated" is such a difficult word in the context of movie recommendations.

In my view, Moon wasn't underrated. It was very well received overall by both critics and those who saw it[1], which is inline with how I felt about it.

However, it wasn't a blockbuster, and so the chances are there are many who don't know about it and who would enjoy seeing it.

Security forces always cater to the people who pay them. This is why the police are funded with taxpayer money, rather than donations or direct payments.

It's also why every citizen should be paying at least some tax, not just the wealthy.

You'd have to define "thinking outside the box" - if you are suggesting that most programmers aren't creative I'd say you have no clue about most programmers. If its a call about a technical problem - no chance. But a random BA still isn't a tech manager.
I think there is a reasonable argument that the etymology is probably the most interesting thing here. The rest of it is a pretty generic graph/combinatronics theory problem. I mean it is interesting as far graph theory is, but its pretty generic example. Just look at the comments - not a single comment here about the actual concept. I am doubtful it would have been posted here without the provocative name.

Seems like the reasonable thing to do to protect yourself from liability would be to give up a tiny strip of your land that provides public access to the publicly owned land. That way people who want to go to the publicly owned land go on that path and don't come on to your property and give you all that liability. It'd be a teeny fraction of land, but you could say with a straight face, "Hey, you wanted access to the public land? Use the nice convenient wide open access point, as the clearly posted signs indicate."

Intentionally buying up land that perfectly surrounds public land on all sides really betrays what's actually going on here.
Some older methods of seller fraud don't work anymore, but there are plenty of new ones that do.

I had a seller try to steal $20k from me-- and they told me right out that eBay wouldn't refund it. They were right.

In my case the seller sent an item which was ultimately delivered back to them (they seem to have intentionally munged the delivery details so that a delivery to me was never even attempted). The tracking however ultimately showed "delivered" and that's all eBay cared about.

I even got a phone recording of the seller admitting they had it back then demanding more money from me to send it again! Ebay didn't care. (Maybe the seller actually would have come through if I'd paid their ransom but I surely wasn't going to send more money to someone who was trying to screw me over)

Through extraordinary effort I even got the full detailed shipment history, including showing it going back to the seller's address (which AFAICT the shipper wasn't really supposed to give me but I basically spent a whole day at their offices). Ebay didn't care, they demanded a letter from FedEx corp on Fedex letter head saying the package wasn't delivered to me (even though you could just see that from the cities named in the online tracking-- it never even made it into my state). I couldn't find any way to extract such a thing from Fedex even with another trip back to their offices.

So ebay ruled against me, absurd.

Fortunately I was still within the window to reverse the charge on my credit card (though ebay wasted enough time that I almost wasn't)-- and the credit card took care of it.

Back to the topic: This law would have done nothing for me. I was already able to track down the sellers identity without difficulty-- but what am I to do with that? I could sue them at great cost with years of trouble and time and a substantial risk that I get nothing-- including my legal costs-- because they're bankrupt or vanish. Honestly I would have much rather spent my time and money suing eBay since at least there would be a possibility of recovery if I won.

My entire problem was ebay's pants on head stupid policy that regarded a package as delivered to me even when the tracking made it completely clear that it wasn't. I don't think the seller even had to lie to ebay: they simply had to respond "Here is the delivered tracking number: xyz".
Sample size of 15 without mentioning any clear measures. Not very impressive
IMO this is a more fundamental issue with 'map'. A separate indexed map would make sense because you expect functions passed to map to take one parameter in almost all cases and usually when you need indices you should just use a loop.
That would make for a very compelling TV series, with not much need for dramatisation beyond historical facts. Beaumarchais in particular is a fascinating character. And the Chevalier d’Éon of course, as an enlightenment cross-dressing James Bond.

Google Keep and Calendar. Specifically because of the blazing fast home screen widget. I wouldn't trust a cloud solution for important long term stuff but I love how well it integrates with everything.

BitWarden. Every time someone asks about password managers, the answer is always BitWarden or KeePass.

My answer is no different. I have been very happy with it. And the secure notes feature is nice.

MOLLE. This is the military webbing soldiers use that makes their packs modular. My SOG ninja backpack is only $35. lacks a laptop compartment, but a standalone sleeve fixes that.

The pouches are cool, but what really sells the system is putting an extra water bottle holder, or a carabiner attachment with Grimlocs that can then hold a bag for extra shoes, a keychain solar flashlight, or a towel case so it's out and can dry.

(By the way, I would NOT recommend a solar backpack for any reason unless you really like walking in direct sun all day. They cost a fortune, weight a lot, have stuff to break, and MOLLE lets you carabiner on a folding solar charger if you really want.)

YoLink temperature sensors. If you think you have an area where pipes might freeze, don't wait till they do, watch them with a sensor of your choice. Or maybe wait for a Matter compliant one.

A pourover coffee maker. The filter catches the cholesterol raising stuff, the process is focused and relaxing and a break from the screens, coffee makes you live longer, and it tastes better than keurig or instant.

Uni-ball Power Tank pens.

Currently, I use a Rite in the Rain pressurized pen, but reviews say the uni-ball ones are just as good, but in a disposable form factor, for $16 per 10 pack.

Pressurized pens are amazing. Nothing else stands up to being left to sit around unused quite like that. Having them available cheaply makes them the perfect pen for occasional users. I just wish I had known about them sooner, since I know so many people who would appreciate a few for Christmas.
