So sorry re: the PF. It sucks. IANAD/IANAPT (physical therapist), but based on my own experience with PF a few years ago and experiences of friends, it's usually a combination of:
1. Rest from running
2. Doing a lot of stretching/strengthening exercises
3. Potentially using orthotics like u/bilsbie suggested. Would make sure to go in an d get a custom fitted one, and it may be tough to wean off off

For #2, the exercises that seemed to help me the most were the various towel stretches, rolling with a lacrosse ball, and doing a lot of calf raises. I even briefly went to a few barre classes on a friends' recommendation, which was kind of fun (and very humbling), but probably helped because we did tons of calf raises with what I thought were tiny weights, but was super challenging.
Thanks for the info! What do you mean by not speeding? How fast feels safe on well-paved residential streets, streets with traffic, etc.?
I'd say the most favorable arrangement for noise would be a pusher configuration, with the engines close to the back of the plane instead of a tractor config on the front. This is done on the Piaggio Avanti. Not sure how well it works, but it looks like a spaceship.

Eviation electrical plane recently changed their pusher design to a tractor, but kept the engines on the back (IIRC, they started with a central big one and two auxiliary ones on the wingtips for use during takeoff).
Why star a project on GitHub when you can just bookmark it including with some tags? What if the project is hosted somewhere else, say GitLab?
There is always something being blocked. I graduated high school in 2000. Language teachers were concerned about babelfish at Alta vista and ti 83 calculators were being used to store answers in tests. I remember hearing stories about people creating programs to pretend all the data in the calculators were cleared - I bet those people are excellent programs now. Wikipedia after that was not to be used as a citation. Once I started college the blocks were against Napster and napigator was used to get around the blocks. The point is if someone wants to get around a block they will.
If WASM were a viable target today, I'd agree, but it isn't yet.

I literray came here to see who is going to proclaim automation first (and in what way) :) Unsurprinsingly, it was the first comment.

100% perfect circle is a pure math thing and can't be achieved with drawing in any way.
Combination is good, agree. For separate points, the argument stands.

And the combination is likely the product of people, gradually accumulated in the area. So, yes, the intellectual potential is great. But that could be moved some hundreds miles away relatively easily, or at least replicated to a high degree - partially because of the sad situation with housing.
Fancier models use a camera to detect all kinds of shit (literally) so they can avoid it.

Not counting the hairball issue, a robot vacuum is perfect for a home with hairy pets, cuts down on the amount of random pet hair everywhere quite a bit. Just have it run every weekday on a timer so you don't forget.

Psychologically it's easier to just run through the house and throw stuff out of the robot's way than it is to chase it down and poke it to stop running - and then YOU have to vacuum manually =)
Whoa, not good! I assume they found another way to get it out? Did they have any tips (aside from not using earbud-style headphones) to prevent the issue from recurring?
My point is that what is required by an actual real world application is not up to the community. It's up to the universe.

For example, if you want to judge the predictions of astronomers about close approaches of asteroids to Earth, the standard is not what the community thinks is ok, but whether their predictions are accurate enough to say for sure whether an asteroid will hit or miss. That standard is imposed by the universe, the laws of physics, and our desire to not get killed by an asteroid impact.

> steam version [...] I guess I could try running it with Wine

Seems like you're not familiar with Proton[0], The "Wine + enhancements" compatibility layer that the native Linux version of Steam uses to run the majority[1] of significant Windows games.

User reports are that DF runs without problems under proton[2,3,4]

Anecdotally, as a thoroughgoing and (evidently) shameless cheapskate, I can report the free "classic" ascii only Windows version[5] works well under stock Wine-staging via apt on my Ubuntu laptop.

Having said all that, I share your sadness that a native Linux version wasn't released along with the windows Steam release, though reportedly it is planned for the future[6,7]

>There's definitely more room to squeeze labor out of the market through more automation, but that doesn't result in higher wages for people.

This statement is kinda in odds with what proceeded it. You are suggesting that "in the real world" this is impossible. But then also conclude with the line of reasoning that you seem to be arguing against.
> Japan is undergoing civilizational and cultural collapse.

Certainly doesn't seem this way when you visit Japan. Sure, they haven't experienced wildly growing excessive consumption like some American states in the past couple decades, but their society is far from undergoing any sort of collapse.

From a smaller and smaller proportion of the population working in the agricultural field-- about 25-30% of the population in 1930 to about 10% now-- despite producing more calories per person and more meat, etc.

The marketing for air fryers is fantastic.

It's a small convection oven, which a lot (definitely not all) ovens come with standard today. I bought 2 of the cheapest whole kitchen "packages" from HD and both came with a convection setting. The electric even called it "Convection/Air Fryer."

A friend saw that setting and busted with excitement "Your oven has an air fryer!?" Yes my oven has an oven.

Really good marketing.

Never underestimate the power of the oven.

It took awhile before PCs really caught up with the demands that a full-fledged Active Desktop would put on them. I remember trying it on my 83MHz Pentium with 16MB of RAM, and later a 233MHz Pentium II with 32MB of RAM, both without much success.

Towards the early 2000s, I was using it successfully on an Athlon XP with 256MB of RAM, displaying some live-updating weather widgets. That worked wonderfully, and actually felt like a great use of Active Desktop. Screenshot: https://hardwarehacks.org/lt/bcweather4tn.jpg
What? A company pays it's workers a salary and that's a loss for the business no matter if the people it's paid to are using it for food and rent.

If they didn't have any revenue coming in at all, then they should have a quite high deficit in the company that they can subtract against the income now to reduce taxes.
Land is still limited (given an interest in low distance to a hub) and density is physically limited as well, regardless of regulation.

Wow. I was a contractor on the Netcaster team summer of 1997. That's the offline web subscription thing, the UI of which runs along the right side column in that Constellation screen shot.

A small group built a simple desktop UI as a tech demo. They'd start the talk at that desktop, launch the "web browser" and demo some web page techniques, then close the "browser" and deliver the punchline: "Now we're back to the desktop. And we're still in the web browser."

Front-end development in that era was called "web design", not programming. A big part of our job was to change that perception, to show that a web "site" could be an interactive experience.

The front-line techs at companies committed to a web presence already knew this stuff, and it was an incredible privilege to be working with them. But those responsible for allocating web site budgets had some tough decisions to make, 25 years ago.

We are always talking about 4-day work week or stuff like in this article. However, I am much more interested in the question how much hours one could chip off of the usual 8 hour (office) work day and still be basically 100% productive. My guess is that around 6-7 hours should probably be AS productive as 8 hour-days. But, of course, this is dependend on a lot of factors (e.g. do you still have enough opportunities to communicate with colleagues etc.) which is why I would really like to see more studies about it.

Personally, I have just reduced my hours from 40 to about 35 and I love it. It's not just the extra hour that I have in the evening but also that I am way less tired after work (thus can enjoy the rest of the day more). Also, this last hour (to me) always felt like "I have to do it although it ain't productive at all". But that's me. Just one anecdata. I would like more.
The tipping point of concern for the anti-gentrification crowd isn't "is it profitable to upzone", it's "will upzoning make things cheaper" and those are VERY different questions.

But just going on the numbers for the former question, the "expensive" city centers in the US generally start with Manhattan, Brooklyn, SF, and whatever you'd call "center" of LA. And they don't seem that far behind a lot of the rest of the developed world...

Manhattan is >70k/sqmile.

Brooklyn is 37k/sqmile.

SF is ~19k/sqmile.

LA is 8k/sqmile.

So what are the "bog-standard suburban towns" you think they're comparable to?

I can't think of many, and my searching isn't turning many up. Milan appears to be 20k/sqmile while Rome is 6k/sqmile. And those aren't "bog standard suburbs" like a Marietta, Georgia; those are central cities! Let's go bigger and even more central - London is 15k/sqmile, Paris is 53k/sqmile. Tokyo is ~17k (and larger, more like a double-size LA, there), but not overall denser than the US's expensive city centers. Manchester, in the UK, is 5450/sqmile. Stuttgart is 7,800/sqmile.

Manchester is apparently comparable to San Jose! So again, seems like the way to fix is it to focus on the places further down the list, like an Austin, TX, at 3k/sqmile.

It's been said before, but piracy is not theft.

The media which is pirated is a copy of the original, a new entity separate from the original. The original media is still intact and in place (not stolen).

The argument that not paying money for pirated media is stealing also doesn't hold water. Revenue was never generated from pirated media, which you could technically qualify as unrealized revenue, but it doesn't not qualify as stealing, since the intellectual property owner's possessions haven't been touched.

These are all semantics, but semantics matter. Courts- semantic powerhouses- prosecute on copyright violations, not theft.
+1 for rice cooker.

One of my maths teachers was able to draw up to something like a three foot circle on the blackboard that looked very, very close to ideal every time. He would always use two arcs to do it and it was uncanny. He would whip out a metre/yard rule to do straight lines because they are much harder to do.

Your limbs etc are all a collection of ball and socket/downright weirdly jointed/hinges with benefits/more weirdness. You then want to use this monstrose agglomeration (did I mention how you move the bloody things?) to draw a circle? Obviously you would decide to run a finger over a simulator of a lump with a ball in it and some on/off switches.

People are weird. Nice website though.

"intelligence," as I used it, is the ability to learn, to use what you've learned to solve problems, and to accurately predict the future outcomes of today's decisions.

my knowledge of the horsehead nebula has no positive or negative effect on my ability to learn how to make concrete or to use that knowledge to actually make thae concrete. intelligence is not simple memorization of fact, it is a collection of understanding, and the ability to both grow that understanding and to use it to accomplish things that you don't yet know how to do.

we are continuously surprised by what we learn about ancient cultures, because we assume they were intellectually inferior to us.

the Lycurgus Cup is a great example of something that some people still view as a lucky accident. Anyone who has actually learned to make physical things and worked to refine their skill in making things will know in their soul that the colors in that cup are clearly intentional and the product of intelligence and time.

our belief that only contemporary humans have control over and understanding of the their world is just simply wrong, I think.

we discover new evidence from ancient civilizations which surprise us all the time. is there enough evidence to prove that we aren't smarter than people 100-200 generations ago? I don't know.

there certainly is a lot of evidence that ancient civilizations knew more than we believe they knew, and that is significant when you think about how long that evidence needs to last to be discovered today, and that those things which do last long enough are recognized for what they are before they are discarded because of a bad assumption. how much evidence has been lost? we only see a tiny fraction of the evidence that would have existed at the time.

these discoveries happen frequently enough for me to have no problem believing that there is a great deal about ancient civilizations that we think we know which we actually do not know.

that's a rambly comment but it's all I have time for before the edit window closes.
Some day in the very far future, our descendants will ask, why is the code manually made in the 2020s with Rust so durable, while our modern PHP20457 code that is spit out by Tardpilot100 is so fragile? Our modern operating systems need to reboot 1000 times per hour just to function while ancient operating systems could stay on for months at a time without rebooting!

This reminds me a little bit of Twitter's snowflake: To generate the roughly-sorted 64 bit ids in an uncoordinated manner, we settled on a composition of: timestamp, worker number and sequence number.

Sequence numbers are per-thread and worker numbers are chosen at startup via zookeeper (though that’s overridable via a config file).

No one forced them to pay more than the minimum for housing.

Not all land in a given area are equal in their attribute and there's fundamental scarcity in desirable lands. The richest presumably purchases houses in locations that has the most amenities, while everybody scrambles for the rest.

Eh, I think that a pretty huge portion of labor in the USA is spent on things that are not at all necessary for things people need or want for their quality of life. (Including the jobs of much of HN readership).

cf David Graeber Bullshit Jobs.

I don't think it's at all true that those people didn't understand the labor that is needed to create food (especialy this; they correctly predicted that agricultural labor has gone down drastically), housing, or even entertainment. I think they actually had it right, and that we don't work less is not about material necessity but just about the way our present economic structure works.

That stuff is a nightmare. I've dealt with both USD and cryptocurrency payouts and can see why some legitimate businesses would prefer the latter.
The rusting and getting wet is cyclical in nature and part of what accelerates that is the formation of cracks in the first place. Part of the maintenance of concrete is to fill any cracks that you can find to prevent it from getting worse. The cracks typically start small, and they might form in places that are hard to get to as well as being too small to see, so if the concrete is self-healing it will prevent some of these small cracks from getting worse on their own which should reduce the effect of expanding water (ice) as well as expanding rust.

The reinforcement material (rebar) already has a very close thermal coefficient of expansion to concrete and this can be thought of as kind of a lucky coincidence.

Not GP but do you mean Privacy.com? As far as I'm aware it requires truthful personal information to use just like any other financial service.

As such, it can still be used to link a person to their Kagi account which means it's not private or anonymous in any meaningful sense. Additionally the service is only available to US citizens. I would strongly urge Kagi to consider adding cryptocurrency payments - ideally Monero.

This is coming from a paying Kagi customer. I like to put my money where my mouth is but I'm not a fan of the current payment options. I understand that Kagi is a small company in early stages, but I would expect cryptocurrency payments to be available 12 months from now.
Classic response. Gaslight on the connotations, random accusation of assuming victim status (a sacred cow to the progressive), and the much loved "maybe you shouldn't express your opinions if you don't like our behavior"

As it happens, though, I don't see myself as a victim. I don't mind in the least people reacting to my opinions. But I also feel perfectly comfortable pointing out the nature of the reaction, which is generally not to engage with content but to turn it into a question of character. Which you have done.
That's not squatters logic any more than you're a squatter in your own home if you refuse to sell even if a generous offer comes along because you value your home a lot more than even an above market offer, but you'd still likely sell at 100 times valuation. Again, that doesn't make you a squatter, just someone holding on to something and saying "If you really want this, you're going to have to offer me something grand, and I know you can afford it, otherwise I'll hold on to it".
This is a valid and secure set up - and should be considered if you are running your own Wordpress site - but not the standard in shared hosting. Most users are isolated from each other and run php under their user name. A reasonable shared host will have some security set up that will protect their clients, and there are plenty to outsource to. This type of exploit is blocked for example using imunify360 with php defense and the waf rules while allowing php to run under the username.
Hubs can be built, though.
