I make it a habit that whenever something arrives with its own wall-wart or charger, I label that power-pack with the brand and/or model of device that it was supplied for.

The number of times I have had to replace a broken charger/power-pack/wall-wart I could probably count on the fingers of one hand. But they are freely available when you need them. They even make multi-voltage, multi-connector 'universal' power-packs.

Periodically I go through the pile and anything marked with an obsolete, broken or discarded device gets tossed in the bin.
Real economists study how competition creates waste.

An common example of waste induced by competition is advertising expenditures.

Competition doesn't allocate resources, price discovery does that.

The whole advantage of markets over central planning is they work in non-ideal situations, where planning is not practical. You got the whole thing backwards.
> tests are much better at giving you a glimpse of what the code even does

Types do that, they tell you the expected input and expected output. No type nor test is all-encompassing of course, but it gives at least some information.

No test will guarantee that a function will never return a number. Types, if valid and without prototypal shenanigans, can.
Oh my bad I forgot I did that.

Your second source, when you say that alot of left wing groups are against it, is about Philadelphia and in the end.

". The city council passed the 1.75 cents-per-ounce sugary drink tax on June 5, and it will go into effect in January. "

The NAACP is a bipartisan group so its stance on the issue has no bearing.
It always struck me as odd that the checkmate definition should be so (relatively) complicated. A much simpler definition is "you lose if the opponent captures your king". A checkmate is just a situation where you can't avoid getting your king captured. If someone doesn't notice their king is on check, then they could lose the next move. After you pass the beginner phase, this will almost never happen to you anyway, so most games will end the same way: checkmate or losing because of time.

When I was in school, we used to play blitz like that. You lost track of your king, boom, you're dead
That’s probably because bash is only looking for those types of paths in a redirection context. But if you try to use regular file utilities those paths don’t have any special meaning so they just work as normal.

>> Infinitely many time intervals, however short, cannot have passed after finite time.

If they are finite time intervals that's true. But not true for infinitessimally short time intervals. If Zeno doesn't like this, we can say the time intervals are just as large as his distances. He can't argue infinitessimally short distances and not accept the same for time intervals. Playing dumb here backfires.

Right now I have a "Code Blocks" docs extension which I've used frequently, but it works by auto-formatting the text so you must re-run it on changes. A feature like this which is native would be huge.

But it seems I don't have this feature yet (A/B testing?) And either way it only supports 4 languages right now. So it's not very usable yet.

Also it seems like Docs added some new things like dropdowns and "Smart Chips" recently, which are specifically designed for Sprints and other dev documents. So I guess they are trying to make docs useful for SE teams now?
you stopped your quote a bit too soon. "when it was taken or scanned"

> It's like Lisp. Just knowing about them is extremely enlightening . . .

I agree. My introduction to Lisp was Seibold's Practical Common Lisp -- a very hot book back in the mid-to-late aughties, that I suspect introduced a lot of people to Lisp.

Forth feels like it's having a similar moment (by which I simply mean: a lot of people are talking about it in terms of enlightenment, not that it's going to replace JavaScript!). So I wonder. Think someone will write a Practical Forth?

> I'm always struck by the useful directions that desktop computers were going in the 70s, and how computing could be so much better than it is right now. But we've veered so off-course from all of this, away from composability and towards independent boxes ("applications") that can't talk to each other at all.

This is the consequence of deliberate corporate agendas, but many people are still in denial of that.

Naah. I gave up on Vim years ago. I think I’d rather like to do other things than dealing with ikljhploxty :g or whatever those commands are et cetera. I realised for my use-case and the work I do, and for the time I actually spent writing/typing code, those trillions of IDEs and gui text editors are not only enough, they are absolutely better.

I am sure it would be some revolutionary tool, but I have no use for it other than using vi when I ssh into somewhere for few minutes once in a blue moon. This realisation has been very useful. In the past I kept trying to “get” vim. On the other hand a lot of people I know like vim as a “hobby”. Yes, liking vim and doing vim thingies is the hobby.

1) The meme that gas tax is regressive is an Exxon propaganda plant.

2) It is extremely simple to make a progressive gas tax. You set the tax at a high enough level to establish a consumer incentive. Say, $2 per liter. Every month, everyone gets a check for their share of the revenue, divided among the whole population. At current rates of consumption this would be $160/month/person. For anyone who burned the average amount of motor fuel, it's a wash. But for people who used less fuel than average it's profit, and motor fuel consumption is proportional to income so it is naturally progressive. If you make the refund taxable income then it is even more progressive, because the median person doesn't even pay income taxes.

With the above plan suddenly everyone wants to use less gas than the average guy.
What is empirically incorrect? The statement is that the person will take a bet Bayshore will underperform... there is research showing that the person is in fact lying and is not willing to take a bet? I'll take a bet the Bucs win this weekend... do you also have empirical evidence to the contrary?

The commenter is almost certainly stating they think Bayshore has <50% chance, but not some tiny number. Most people on stating "i'll bet x" intend for such bet to be priced at even money. If they stated they were laying generous odds, that might imply with confidence. And it might still be reasonable because it is reported widely, and people like Warren Buffett have won bets by betting on such underperformance. No one is saying that no one beats the market.

Buffett himself has said that upon his death there is a fund for his widow which will be 90% sp500 index. I'm not sure how much we are talking about, and it will be less than $100 billion, but I'm not sure it makes much difference, if any.

You might disagree with someone like Buffett on things like this, but the idea that the original comment is naive or stupid is plainly wrong. He's basically repeated what one of the best investors on the planet has stated.
You'd be very hard pressed to go lower risk than SP500. Basically treasuries.
The process is a feedback loop though. People drive because everything is so spread out. The corner stores die because people don't walk past anymore. Rinse and repeat.

My wife started to have many of the symptoms of long COVID starting around September of this year. No official diagnosis from her many doctors and specialists, just a constant barrage of co-pays and test after test after test. Some of her doctors say for certain it is not long COVID but they also say they do not know what it is... so... uh huh. Just have to keep on testing, and do the same test multiple times.
In Excession I appreciated everything about the world aside from the title excession, but thought it didn't end up doing much.

IIRC we used -ffast-math for numerical simulations of radar cross sections. Fast math was a decent perf win but didn't have any negative effects on the results.

Most programs don't care about the difference between ((a+b)+c) vs (a+(b+c)). Why bother with NaNs if you know you can't get them? Etc.
It was enjoyable reading the code. And yes it is Lisp. But without (for example) basic integer/float types and operations. So you can’t do (+ 1 2).

And yes you can of course implement math Peano style by using lists to implement numbers. But it would be impractically slow.

You also can’t directly read/write memory, making low level hardware IO impossible.

Please don’t get me wrong. This is not a criticism of the work at all! I love it! I just want to point out that a lot more code is needed to have a minimum practical Lisp.

So I wonder if anybody has implemented a minimum practical Lisp that basically gives you the operators C gives you? Given that you could in principle implement a Linux like OS.

For us (SF bay area) PG&E didn't manage 2 nines last year or the year before, and it is already mathematically impossible for them to get 2 nines this year.

Edit: Having said that, we are in the middle of an extended outage, so I just charge the EV in town. There are fast DC chargers in grocery store lots and near restaurants, so this isn't inconvenient at all. Our ICE pickup wouldn't fit well on the (often one bidirectional lane) roads this week, due to slides, debris, and rerouted heavy equipment / repair trucks.

The EV has 135 mile range (more like 100 in current conditions). EVs are fine in rural areas (probably up to abput 100 miles from town, assuming a car with a 300 mile EPA range). Also, we'll be buying a generator, ASAP, for other reasons. We could use that to charge the car on cloudy days after a Puerto Rico style grid collapse.
Are you fucking stupid? You literally just built a porn reverse image search tool. Think about it, all you need is a screen shot of a single frame of porn and you can find links to other vids with that person. This is a godsend for coomers.
Not to mention, the abuse potential of something like this is insane. Now anyone can just use a girls facebook profile or linkedin pic to find nudes - perfect for fapping or for blackmail. Copyright isn't gonna stop offiline copies from being taken, and the fact that most NCII out there exists of a subject that is unaware of said content being published, hence the people that need your tool the most proabably won't know it exists - until its too late.
It's so funny how you're trying to pass of this tool as "socially beneficial" when all it's gonna do is make the problem worse.

The internet and digital cameras being available to everyone was a mistake, when I come to power I'm just outright banning any transmission or storage of any photos of naked human bodies with the exception of medical reference pics. Or I'll just ban cellphones and home computers from civillian use entirely.

EDIT: I probably wouldn't ban the internet or home computers, but I'd at least completely ban porn, and use a tool like OPs to enforce such a ban with extreme prejudice. Anyone hosting or running a site with such content would face years of hard labor
Here is what you do:

When you are ready to release the next version of your software, you simultaneously release 50+ “cracked” versions of the software on as many pirate sites as you can find.

The trick is that the “cracked” versions of the software is actually just demo versions that will stop working after some time and prompt you to buy the real thing.

You also add comments to pirate sites on all really cracked versions of the software claiming that the cracked software erased your hard disk, that the software is trying to black mail you, that it was cracked by interpol to catch pirates etc. etc.

Of course using hundreds of different user names to hide the fact that it is really your company doing it.

And you of course reuse “real” pirate names and claim that those other users are fake and/or police traps.

And even better: use an AI to automate all of this. Make it really expensive and frustrating to try and get a cracked version of your code.

You are welcome.

> Pi-hole also has a nice interface for pointing `.local` domains to local IP addresses, which is much easier than messing with dnsmasq settings on the EdgeRouter.

This is why I have Pi-hole set up as well. I wanted to have custom DNS records so I can resolve multiple named services to the single IP they're hosted on. With my Ubiquiti Security Gateway you have to do this by SSHing in and modifying the dnsmasq settings. It's much easier for me to manage this on Pi-hole. The DNS request metrics and blocking are just a bonus for me.
The hardest part of a dating site is getting new people through the door. The personality quizzes, in a very buzzfeedish way, were very effective at drawing people in. In fact they were a little too effective, because they drew in many people who weren't serious about dating and just wanted to fill out quizzes.

What OKCupid failed at was being a usable dating site. The matching algorithm was awful.

They aren't reading them anyway. 4000 word assignments are just a sadistic game they still play for some reason. You jump through the hoop and write the paper, then they run it through an automated spelling and grammar checker and make sure it passes the plagiarism check before skimming a few lines and assigning a grade. At this point it's just automatically written papers trying to fool automated paper grading software, like some sort of highly inefficient generative adversarial network.
As a former USCF tournament director, I can say this is not true. Rule 13A - "The player who checkmates the opponent king, providing the mating move is legal, wins the game."

Additionally, there are many contradictory rules that can't all be applied, so there is a lot of room for the tournament director to apply the rules according to the spirit of the game rather than the word of the law.

Based on your recent comments, it’s right in your own backyard! Formerly and currently unincorporated DuPage and Kane counties. It seems that you have to build a new street inside an established municipality for those houses to get “normal” addresses.

FYI, I went to college in the 90s with a kid that lived in a rural area in a very low population county in Indiana (one stop light in the entire county). His house still had the old rural route addressing (your address was the box where you received mail - potentially miles away - and not a street address as commonly understood https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28c2_021.htm).

>putting in a bike lane costs more that a highway does?

Yes.

A proper bike lane requires:

* Expanding the road, which might involve demolishing some/many town blocks.

* Adding proper separators and dividers between car and bike.

* Changing the layout of the town so biking to destinations is actually practical.

* Slowly changing the minds of the residents.

This isn't as simple as painting some white lines and calling it a day.
The lookalike clones probably sold several times more, as they had more features (FM radio, voice recorder, video playback, expandable storage, generic USB mass storage with no software required, even video recording on some later models) at a fraction of the cost.

A story about how we choose to see things
World Logic Day 14 January
“petite-vue is indeed intended to fill the gap for progressive enhancement cases where Vue 3 would be too heavy-handed.

It is not abandoned, but rather it is considered "done" because the scope is well defined. I don't think it needs more features (as that would defeat the purpose of being lean and minimal). If you find yourself needing more than what petite-vue provides, you can either go up to Vue proper, or try https://alpinejs.dev/.

That said, I should update the README to indicate this more clearly.”

Github discussion: https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue/discussions/53
I never heart that. My guess is that the difference is minimal. Do you have a source with a detailed calculation?
