That is optimal situation.

But it does breakdown or be worse with slightly more complicated routes. Like I used to travel from smaller city to bigger city to other big city. And in the end public transport was probably 50% if not longer in time. First 15-20 minutes to station, then 45 minutes with local train. Wait for intercity, ~2 hours and 30 minutes or get lift to destination. Compared to straight 2 hours from door to door with car.

And this is with perfectly serviceable train network with plenty enough trains. Or at max capacity.

That really depends on what you’re trying to emulate about a display. You can see artifacts from how the electron beam on a CRT paints the image by holding your hand in front of the screen fingers spread and shaking your fingers back and fort. Emulating that well might take a ~10,000fps display which I doubt anyone is ever going to produce.

I lost $50,000 in fake online trading.. I was phoned out of the blue by a stranger offering unsolicited advice on investments, I was vulnerable, depressed and I was willing to do anything to regain my money. I was offered guaranteed returns but nothing happened. I was very embarrassed by the scam and couldn’t go to anyone for help until I came across Wizard James Recovery/Hacking Services. They are very reliable and helped me in recovering all my stolen funds, they can be reached via: EMAIL:wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com
The author is pretty clear that their intention is to use this as a simple first step to creating an app without the hassles of bundlers, they don't seem to be advocating that one would create "medium-large" projects like this. The word "incremental" is mentioned in the first sentence.

Nor does their message come across as "why don't people do this" to me.

> Until recently though, I wasn’t sure how to make this step feel incremental.

Seems like they genuinely just found a neat way to do a thing and wanted to share it.
I do ~23000mi/yr (way above average) commuting at 23mpg (somewhat below average) and gas here is about $3/gal (average) so I pay about $3k/yr. I am nowhere near typical. There is no way the average American pays that much for just gas unless the source is doing some slight of hand.

Obviously I pay more than $3k/yr after you include other expenses but still, few are buying that much fuel.

I used to take the train when I worked downtown and @$350/mo or $4200/yr for a pass (which also covers the subway and buses) it's basically a break even vs driving.

Medium distance rail and bus needs to get a hell of a lot better for it to actually be cheaper for the average person in practice.

It's like the Yogi Berra saying: Nobody drives, there's too much traffic.

I mostly gave up a car living in Washington, DC. I still had one, but only because my apartment had free parking. It came in handy for occasional work trips and road trips, but day-to-day I walked or biked almost everywhere.

Yet, the main reason it was not useful was because the roads were so packed with traffic, at almost all hours of the day, that it was nearly impossible to drive anywhere. Let alone find somewhere to park that wouldn't charge you $20.

If enough people fall out of love with cars, maybe it driving will become attractive again.

I know for sure I could enforce the use of my desktop addons by installing them manually. They were missing dialogs boxen and touch problems, but for the most part they worked and I was OK with the problems.
Of course we can't have nice things and not even bad things. Personal freedom is overrated after all. At some point Mozilla invested time and money to take my freedom.
This reminds me of the time of XPI and XUL, when I used to hack my own Addons together. Then they enforced addon-signing. Until this point you could disable it and switch to "developer mode".
I hate Mozilla and guess they hate me.

I resonate with this too.

The last few blog posts I've written have been very successful. The more that happens, the less desire I feel to write because I'll compare whatever I do next to that recent success. If it doesn't do as well, I've failed.

I've been doing improv comedy for the past few years. Improv is a pretty constant source of upsetting insight into myself. I've recently discovered just how much of my capacity for play and experimentation is locked behind a door called "Don't disappoint anyone" (Or they'll reject you forever). I know its silly - the more I'm afraid of looking like a fool, the worse my improv is. The less I write or draw, or experiment on the piano. I know consciously that playing it safe isn't actually helping, but I can't seem to shake the habit. Its been really devastating to notice the sheer amount of myself caught in this trap. I feel stuck.

Putting myself out there with my creative work - in any of its forms - and just letting the world judge me for me? Its terrifying.

It's one thing to survive, it's another to thrive. Sure the wonder of living in NYC for some people is worth the lower comfort of daily life. I hate and avoid cars too and that alone is a major factor in where I choose to live.

But if they're living on $30k in NYC, do they share their home with one or more roommates? Could they handle a $500 unexpected expense or would it devastate them?

I don’t think that car ownership is related to poverty or absence of disposable income. In fact, a well off person in a well functioning city has little if any reason to own a car and can get away without one.

Subreddits like r/solarpunk, r/fuckcars, r/notjustbikes, along with the push for 15 minute cities are a testament that young people dont want to be in the grip of petrol companies or owning a car as they are not sustainable, cause traffic, accidents, and on and on.

> special characters required

This one is super annoying. A long password without special characters is not any less secure than a short password with one special character added because it was required.

Better than arbitrary requirements like this would be to estimate the entropy and then just prevent low-entropy passwords (or only tell the user - not everyone needs the same level of security for everything).
I may be missing something here, but there's a conceptual leap from "the acceleration produced by gravitational force" to "gravity as a form of acceleration".

Da Vinci certainly appears to be exploring the former. The latter was Einstein's great insight. I don't see much in the article to persuade me that da Vinci was equating gravity and acceleration in the way Einstein did, and so the title seems a little too suggestive.
It was because he was the first non-elderly person in the list, which is an obvious thing to double check because COVID basically never kills people below a fairly high age. That was already well known at the time.

If journalists can't check the claims they're making, they shouldn't make them. The fact that the NYT wanted to make 1000 factual claims on the front page doesn't suddenly mean they don't have to check them. It means they shouldn't pull that sort of stunt. The loss of trust is clearly deserved.
I’m new to email marketing. I’m tracking the CTR locations and they are from unique individual cities and the OS type varies. Does this mean they are more likely actual clicks to the landing page?

My best advice for writing more online is that it's crucial that you learn to hit publish while you're still unhappy with what you've written.

If you strive for perfection in your writing you will inevitably end up with a folder full of hundreds of drafts (I still have one of those) and a blog with no content.

A key thing to remember is that no-one else will ever know how great the thing you wanted to write would have been!

You might find your post thoroughly disappointing because of all of that missed potential... but other people who read it and learn something will be thankful that you posted it.

This is one of the big reasons I'm such a fan of the "TIL" (Today I Learned) format: it reduces the bar for writing about something to "did I recently learn a new thing?"

No, proper structure and tooling (especially for HMR) are important productivity boosters for solo developers as well. Single file scales to about 1k LoC, it’s only viable for toys and tiny projects; beyond 2k-3k LoC you’ll hate yourself every time you need to change something (been there). And ad hoc shell script in place of npm/yarn/whatever proper package manager, which is way easier than said script? I hope that’s show business and not actually used.

Btw, this direct module import approach means you’ll be shipping a lot of unused code to users.

Edit: If you only need a tiny amount of progressive enhancement on top of static HTML: forget about this import map and ad hoc npm script business, use petite-vue (single script, 6KB, add a script tag like good old jQuery).

I’ve read that before, it is fascinating.

GPT3 was just trained on source text, but ChatGPT has undergone an an additional very rigorous programme of intensive training bootstrapped by human feedback. This has evolved it in order to improve its performance as an information assistant, especially on specific tasks that have proved problematic in the past.

One of the things GPT3 has been criticised for is not understanding about people, so you can bet your bottom dollar one of the specific things it’s been coached on is people and how humans work. But it’s still just a language model. It’s just that now it’s been coached how to splurge out better text about people. The underlying limitations of the architecture are still there though.

Take the way until recently if you asked it to respond in Danish, it would reply in perfect Danish about how it was an English language model and could not provide responses in Danish. When pointed out that it was replying in Danish, it would adamantly deny it, in Danish. That’s been fixed now.

It’s totally mindless, it’s just being coached to provide better and better responses to hide its mindlessness. But papering over the cracks like this with flaw specific training isn’t creating a mind, because it all still works in the same way.

This video explains the approach and some of its limitations.

I agree! I think there's a level of didactic intentionality that the effort of publishing a book mandates. A blogpost or Stack Overflow answer or wiki page is typically more like a reference for a particular topic; finding 300 contiguous, organized pages that cover the breadth and depth of a topic on the Internet is not common. The only thing that comes close in my experience is a subset of online courses, the ones that seek to give a foundational understanding more than a step-by-step tutorial of how to make something happen.
Some people feel it is more similar to casting left-handedness, homosexuality, or red hair as a disease, where the definition of “disease” is just “trait that only a minority of people have”.
Eh, this is a very city-centric view.

As discussed many times past, including on HN, if you live in or near a major city, and in a country or area which prioritises goood public transport, you can get by admirably --even better-- without a car.

As soon as you move even a little away from the metropolis, and/or to somewhere that doesn't prioritise good public transport, access (at least) to a car becomes close to a necessity for many activities. This rule holds true in my direct experience in the UK, US, Switzerland, and Germany.

For example, in the US compare living in Denver to a small town a couple of hours' drive out in the sticks. Or in the UK, living in one of the major cities to virtually anywhere in the countryside.
"Adjusted for losses". There, ftfy.
Sure, it is.

My point stands though. If you're swallowing any US agencies information without salt, you have an incomplete information diet.

Dow, Monsanto, DuPont etc have a long track record of getting their people into agencies via the old US politics revolving door system, and they have every reason to downplay the environmental factors that they have inflicted on the planet, especially American soil (and air and water).

I loved that place, I spent an entire day there from open til close when I was contemplating changing jobs and it was really helpful to put my work as a developer into historical perspective.

I always hope some other Seattle billionaire takes over the reins but at this stage my best hope is that my options are worth something in a few years and I can do it myself.

Lack of ideas hardly appeared to have been Google’s problem. They’ve been ahead of nearly every major trend. Chat/Video call tools, AI, etc.

What they seem incapable of doing is actually sticking with an idea and making it work for a market.

Compare Google with their chat/call tools, versus Microsoft with Teams.

Google kept trying to replace their chat/calling tools. The number of versions of chat/calling tools has become a joke in itself. When MS was doing the same (futzing around with Skype, Lync, Skype for Business, etc) they also looked hapless and lost.

However, since then MS focused and doubled down on Teams and have seen immense growth despite basically being really late to this party. They’ve worked hard to make sure it fits corporate needs and kept iterating it to the point it’s become the leader, eclipsing some very formidable challengers.

Sure, MS leveraged some very important moats to achieve this (O365). But that’s exactly the point. Google has deeper and wider moats they could leverage. Gmail, for example. Which they did initially, and GChat was highly successful. But then they just seemed to lose interest in it and it’s become an awkward ghost town now.
What would be the use cases for such tool? If I need to ask, I won’t need it?

> Do you make decisions like it's your company?

No. Mainly because acting like a "company owner" implies a higher degree of connection between the employee and the company. I tried to not get too attached to the companies I work for. Besides the real "company owners" are paid enough to behave as such; regular employees are not.
Hm, that was the whole point of my argument I believe. That this is an inherent left-leaning position, regardless of who is subscribing to it; possibly because in the discussion on how to handle such healthcare, it defends the social and idealistic dimension ("left") rather than the self-responsible and pessimistic perspective ("right"). Now we can argue about political relativism and that no position is inherently and objectively "left" or "right" and it only depends on who articulates that position - and as you might have guessed this is an idea that I am slightly opposed to. Of course we can start with the Overton window and shifting beliefs and the possibility than in a century from now on, universal healthcare might be considered, for whatever reason, a hardcore right-wing extremist position.

Didn't claim to.

What is beyond doubt is that US chemical and agri corps have made concerted efforts over decades to infiltrate regulatory agencies, and have a long history of covering up their atrocities.

So, cast a skeptic eye on anything from them, the agencies they're in, and the scientists they fund. If there's any other reasonable take, you should post it.

> And surely they have no mind like us.

I've often wondered about this, because this answers the question "are we alone on this planet?" with a clear, resounding "no".

For example, every species has a mind in it's DNA. It communicates very slowly and it thinks and communicates by killing large amounts of life. Or perhaps it can be better put as it communicates by enhancing or diminishing specific forms of life, not always outright killing them. You can talk to this, like we've done accidentally with vaccines. DNA's answer would then be antibiotic resistance in dangerous diseases. It's a very different "mind".

Nope, not deposits. Inter-bank settlements occur via reserves, which banks (generally) get from the central bank, but also borrowing from other banks.
It was my understanding that every country requires this, even the US. More recently I've also noticed it on Airbnb rentals.
