I'm not in as prestigious a line of work as you are but I've found the exact same thing happens in my industry (web development, mostly).

Everyone wants to think of the cool ideas to make things work, but few people want to think of all the ways those ideas can break, fail, fail to be future-proof, be expensive, etc, etc whereas I relish in it; what's more satisfying than helping make a proposed or existing solution even better?

But the same applies to stuff outside of work, too. I find I'm quite negative about stuff in the exact same way and whilst it's fun to think "how could we fix this, how could we make it better", all people see it as is negativity and social pressure has made me start to rethink this approach in life. It's better to keep your mouth shut and let the fire start than to open your mouth and be negative, as per your analogy.

Hell it even applies to traditionalism; "we should put out that fire" "but that fire's always been there, that's the way it's always been" "but it's a fire!!!" "yeah, well it was here before you and we like it. That fire walked uphill both ways through the snow to get to school".
That's because the tone of "problems with cars in densely populated areas" and those discussing them tend to completely ignore the significant part of the population that the argument is redundant for.
The cheat would be:

1. submit cyphertext job with bounty $$

2. calculate the solution based on the cleartext and encrypt it

3. wait a while--just enough time so that it's plausible that you found the solution based on the cyphertext

4. submit encrypted solution

5. get your bounty back: $$

6. get the reward for having found the solution: $

7. now you have $$$, and everybody else who worked harder than you did has nothing

A $ based on a system that is that easy to cheat isn't going to be worth very much. Personally I think bitcoin is kind of dumb because from a compete-for-rewards perspective the only thing it has going for it is that it's difficult to cheat in this way.

Better would be if we solved the game theoretic issues here so that nobody has an incentive to cheat and the compete-for-rewards work was actually beneficial to society, but so far as I know that doesn't yet exist.

There's BOINC (like folding@home but more generic), coupled with gridcoin (which rewards people in crypto for having "volunteered" their compute for use in BOINC). But it only works because there's a centralized authority in charge of which jobs get submitted to BOIC, and that authority cares more about scientific computing than they care about making money.
Agreed. Related to that, I was just reading that Google claims to now be okay with AI-generated content:
“Appropriate use of AI or automation is not against our guidelines. This means that it is not used to generate content primarily to manipulate search rankings, which is against our spam policies.”
Wikipedia is anything but neutral on political topics. Their political bias comes straight from the top with corrupt administration and disproportionate application of their own rules and guidelines. I suggest you watch this interview with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger on why you shouldn't trust Wikipedia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0P4Cf0UCwU
Vehicles in areas of the country with snow and salt also used to routinely rust out in about 5 years.
This is a total aside from someone who doesn't know Java...

But why design Point so that you have to do:

`Point point = new Point.Builder()
.latitude(25.2012544)
.longitude(55.2569389)
.build();`

Instead of:

`Point point = new Point(25.2012544,55.2569389)`

Cool project btw... working with geospatial data can be fun.
Should just let things happen naturally, forcing things on children tend to push them against the idea.

When they wanted to drive, then they'll learn to drive with great passion.
It gives you a really solid framework for not worrying about why things happen and who they happen to. A very valuable skill indeed in our world where everywhere you look there is preventable misery. Modern indeed! It's no wonder it's so popular with tech workers.
Only residential properties.. read the article
Big data and data science became popular terms around the same time, doesn't mean that one implies the other like the GP comment suggested. Big data isn't a concern for most working data scientists today - not all datasets are that big, even cheap machines are very powerful and in the cases when you are working at huge scale a lot of the complexity is abstracted away from the data science work anyway.
They can already do that ?

...do you think CAN bus is some unpopular thing you can't get anything off the shelf on ?
Let's hope the trend continues. Cars are terrible for us. They are bad for health because we don't walk anymore or at least easy way less than 30 years ago. Children can't walk to school safely anymore. We can't play on the street. Cycling is very dangerous. Alternative light, healthier and greener alternatives are heavily discouraged by car centric infrastructure.

Cars pollute. Cars can kill you (and do kill many unprotected people every day). Cars make people disconnected from others and social connection suffer - you don't just meet people on the street anymore, children don't walk home which was always great time to socialize.

Cars are also terribly inefficienct way to get around. Even if you forget fuel cost, health considerations, pollution. They are just too big for everyone to have one and still be able to get around in a city in reasonable time. Bikes are already faster in many cities even with terrible car centric infrastructure and laws hostile to cycling. E-bikes with some infrastructure would be significantly faster than cars. And cheaper, and greener and safer and healthier.

Cars often take valuable land which could be used for residential buildings or recreational areas. Significant % of many city centers are parking lots. Significant % of many big buildings are parking lots as well. The cost of car centric infrastructure is humongous.

I am so happy this movement gets some traction. For everyone life quality getting rid of cars in cities would mean great improvement for life quality, especially young people and poor people.
JS backends do the same thing too. Hapijs had a habit for a long time of making breaking changes often. Most recently for me was Strapi which took everything and threw it out the window with really no way to upgrade that didn't also involve re-writing a ton of code. It's exhausting. This is what makes me want to just stick with the old tried and true tools (like WordPress).
> Super Resolution is an image transformation technique with the help of which we can improve the quality of image and recover high resolution image from a given low resolution image

Saying you can “recover” high resolution seems like a bit of a stretch.

Uh… I mean, it looks pretty but it’s basically just invented a bunch of random probabilistic crap on your map right?

Is this a thing? People actually want their maps to be pretty and wrong?

O_o

Strange times.

Particularly blurry blocks that are “maybe cars?” in a backyard being turned into high resolution cars. Or blue splat into “100% a swimming pool” seems… pretty dubious.
Public transit strikes and system breakdowns happen occasionally, nothing to do with the end of civilization. Not being able to drive really limits your options, especially if you want to travel to remote locations for business or leisure. Knowing how it drive is just a basic life skill for any adult. It's something everyone should know how to do like being able to cook a meal or rewire an electrical outlet or shoot a gun or splint a broken limb. You might not need those skills every day but you shouldn't be completely dependent on others. Having some generalist skills gives you freedom and independence, and opens up a lot of options.
The original poster claimed that car usage is the norm in the Netherlands, which implies that anything else is outside the norm, or unusual. This is obviously incorrectly.

There are various other posts in this thread that also give statistics, and the number of car vs bike journeys is not so far apart.

In a country that famously has more bikes then people, the idea that if half the bike journeys converted to cars there would only be a ten percent increase in traffic is quite clearly ridiculous. Especially within cities bikes carry volumes of people that would overwhelm roads if those people used space-inefficient cars.
You could still use it from an older kernel or a VM with older system. Those won't disappear for quite a while (if ever).
Yes, it is one of the few examples of "double dipping" allowed under U.S. tax law.

The way it works is, you donate some property (not cash) that has appreciated in value. If you sold the property, you would have long term capital gains income subject to cap gains tax rates (lower than regular rates). But if you donate the property, you get the full appreciated value as a donation deduction, but you never paid the tax on the gain!

Example: buy stock for $1, keep it for more than one year and it is now worth $10. Donate it, and you get a $10 charitable donation for something you only paid one after-tax dollar for.
So now when they say "Enhance!" in crime shows, it's more plausible.

Depending on the application, this is a good model. It makes the maps look sharper. There are photo editing plugins that use similar technology.

I would hope courts of law would not admit any image edited in such a manner as evidence, though. The model is making it up.
Trying! It's been a long journey.
Well that's just abusive, really (to threaten to leave someone for not being in minute by minute contact with them/clear signs of an abuser power tripping).
But then make yourself feel better by trying to get ChatGPT to be funny. In humor, as in math, solution is more difficult than verification.
I have a friend who only reluctantly learned to drive at 22 despite living in a car dependent suburb. It blew my mind.
Who made a mistake?
They don't want cars or even to drive. They have all the creature comforts at home. Big TV's, internet games, and food delivery.
I honestly think you are overthinking this. Many users would actually prefer to customize the displayed name. Discoverability of the installation process is IMO the real issue.
Then you haven’t had the full experience. Let me walk you through the awful things about parking:

* circling the block over and over until you find a spot.

* making sense of the layered rules on parking signs to make sure you can park

* finding the parking stall and/or downloading the app to pay for parking.

* making sure you have no valuables visible and each car ahead and behind have enough space to get out.

This is experience based off living in DC, NY, and the Bay Area. I’m actually OK paying for a car - but I have an absolutely no time for parking and traffic.
Just you and your car + the guys bumper 3 feet in front of you that’s moved 5 feet in the last minute because of a traffic accident or something. Luckily you can just look at waze and holly shit you’re going to be in this mess for another 4 hours, but you can’t even take a nap or something because traffic is still inching along…

Now that’s not universal, but I really do budget 3-4 hours extra for some trips because holiday traffic is just that bad in my area.
May be a good in between is somehow hosting these as separate drivers that can be modprobed into modern kernels, and removing them from the normal linux kernel tree. Then, if someone somewhere wants to develop them, or if they are really "done" and "bug-free" then people who want them can still use them while not I guess making maintainers feel upset.
Indeed! We are being very intentional about it - we want to check out Vauban in particular though I understand it would be hard to get a place there!
I really love the way Ira Glass puts it:

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, and I really wish somebody had told this to me.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But it’s like there is this gap. For the first couple years that you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good. It’s not that great. It’s trying to be good, it has ambition to be good, but it’s not that good.

But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you’re making is kind of a disappointment to you. A lot of people never get past that phase. They quit.

Everybody I know who does interesting, creative work they went through years where they had really good taste and they could tell that what they were making wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be. They knew it fell short. Everybody goes through that.

And if you are just starting out or if you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Do a huge volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week or every month you know you’re going to finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you’re going to catch up and close that gap. And the work you’re making will be as good as your ambitions.

I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It takes awhile. It’s gonna take you a while. It’s normal to take a while. You just have to fight your way through that.

The article starts with a teenager in Portland, OR. If they had selected a teenager just south or north of the city, they would've had a very different perspective.

The value of having and maintaining a car is directly tied to whether you need it to perform the activities you enjoy. I enjoy taking my dog on hikes outside of NYC, so I pay the exorbitant cost of parking ($650 per month on the upper east side) to have a parking spot. If I didn't have a dog, I wouldn't have a car in the city. This is despite the fact that I personally love cars having owned a number of Japanese sports cars.

The focus of the article on climate change activism and urban planning is somewhat political, but I think it gets it right in the end: "Several studies...have concluded that driving habits that are formed in youth seem to persist...even into their 40s."

This is exactly it. I grew up in a relatively remote area of Southern California and became accustomed to driving-in for school, to see friends, to take my dog on hikes, etc. Those experienced have formed a positive association with "owning a car" despite the displeasure of driving around looking for parking.
> It’s the same in my case - I decided, quite a few years ago, that chasing status was a sucker’s game, and stopped buying crap that signalled status.

I have friends who make over $200k in affordable areas that constantly complain about money but buy new cars every 2 years, spend $1000's on lego sets, buy expensive toys they sell for 2/3-1/2 value within two years (campers, digital home gyms, etc), need the latest TV, Monitor, Phone... it never ends. It's not filling a need or solving a problem. It's just high price branded junk that they can pose next to on Facebook or Instagram.
If they're American, then there is something like a 95%+ chance that they NEED to know how to drive.
Audacity is audio/sample editor¹ that's popular as a My First Editor™ for podcasters, etc. For anyone wondering why the Audacium/Tenacity forks exist: https://www.zdnet.com/article/audacity-reverses-course-on-pl...

Apparently, Audacity telemetry is now restricted to a self-hosted Sentry error reporting service, and to sending version info an IP address (anonymized to the first 3 octets) on update checks.

¹ It's a so-called "destructive" audio editor², and so is different than modern, "non-destructive" audio editors like GarageBand, Reaper, Descript, etc.

There is a McDonalds at the intersection of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and the Cross Bronx Expressway. One time in the middle of the night I ordered whatever hamburger and received a double cheeseburger with fried onions(fried onions are not on the McDonalds menu).

That same McDondalds on another visit I found the drive-thru worker head down sleeping on the counter.

The exception that proves the rule. I remember that McDonald's hamburger.
And it has been for a long, long time

> can fluently navigate social situations

the vast majority of human beings can not "fluently" navigate social situations either...

the very small elite percentage of those who can are the 'social butterflies' that become actors, politicians, perfect 1950s social calendar wives, etc all depending on the culture they live in.

They are mesmerizing to watch, and rare like a lovely dancer or magician or elite athlete is rare. This is not normal, it's a special talent at the tail of the bell curve.

most ACTUAL normal social interactions involve simultaneous friction of many kinds under the surface-- as people have opposing motives (money, power, sex, pride etc) and limited face-saving default tools to navigate, dismiss, avoid, or paper over that friction.

(Maybe that's the difference, autistics suck at using or accepting the use of these shoddy tools as 'fake' and give resistance to all the sub-optimal goings on?? idk)

fake small talk and go-to phrases and lame jokes and polite chuckling and fake smiles and managed voice intonation ---these are the bread and butter of getting thru a interaction / dance while trying to still get what you want, balancing long term and short term incentives etc

Both people know it's fake and that's okay

-----
it's exhausting to normal people too, at the 'end of a long day' it's not the physical toll

it is not evolutionarily normal to meet so many goddamn strangers every day and try to smooth over endless bits of friction (esp from so many cultures fundamentally at odds in core values and goals, but that gets into politics, so)

'normal' people deal with others sub-optimally and then let off the steam/ bitch and moan / insults and slurs to get out how they really feel in the safe space at home/ their tribe

Places where this is always at max capacity, it bubbles over and you see the failures and stress marks, i.e. strangers screaming at each other in new york traffic, littering and destroying things, unspoken boundaries (turf) being tested, shamelessness in breaking norms and criminality, helplessness/numbness to the disturbing etc

Most of the time, 'normal people' don't know what or why they are feeling / acting out the way they are either, they just relieve their tensions any way that comes up, angry at X person but take it out on Y person instead.

There are infinite ways to be dysfunctional and very few ways to achieve 'good-vibes only' haha

TV shows have skewed the sense of how smooth-talking and self-aware and charming normal real people are...
I think the US has somehow failed to protect investors AND managed to discourage companies from setting up there. It's the worst of all worlds. How much blame sits with the SEC for selective (and poor) enforcement and how much with Congress (for letting Gensler be so poor at his job) is an open question...
Needing a utility to manage ~2MB of data for transport via legacy storage devices isn't the same thing as "I need a kernel filesystem driver", though.

A python wrapper for simple formats like this around a block interface (fuse mount, etc...) is a few afternoons of work for someone. I bet anything someone's already written this.
> PPM of CO2 in air is 4

This is wrong, CO2 is currently 420PPM in Earth's atmosphere.
What is stored in the clipboard depends essentially from the source it is copied from, and what is pasted to another program depends on what the target program is prepared to receive.

In the case of text, very often what is copied is plain text + formatted text like HTML or RTF (i.e. there are two - or more - "items" loaded to the clipboard) and when you paste, what is pasted is the default (or the only) kind of text that the program accepts (notepad accepts only plain text, other programs might allow you to choose between paste or paste text only).

So they have the carbon as bicarbonate, and they are reforming carbon dioxide?

I'm no chemist, but ... is there something solid that it could be converted to instead? Like baking soda, rather than a difficult to store gas?

Maybe something like this?

Wow, I didn't know salinity doubled in the Arabian sea in only 10 years.
It's become really common on websites, and it's one of the primary reasons why I block JS by default on my phone. I assume a lot of mobile apps work the same way, but I haven't checked. I don't think you could pay me to install Instagram on my phone.

To be more specific about why the Chromium model is so messed up, it's based on the idea that you should only be able to start audio playback in response to a user action.

But what counts as a user action is:

- highlighting any text on the page

- clicking anywhere on the page

- pressing any key on the keyboard

- basically anything you do on a web page.

And then the web page can play any audio it wants for the entire duration of the page visit. So in practice, blocking autoplay only makes things more inconvenient to devs and breaks a bunch of websites. It doesn't help the user at all.

Firefox's implementation is slightly better because it's more predictable (Firefox doesn't have Chrome's weird algorithms about playback), but it's still mostly broken. I wrote a giant article about this back in 2018, and 5 years later the demo that I made works just as well today as it worked back then: https://danshumway.com/blog/chrome-autoplay/demo/ (link has autoplaying music)

Nothing ever got fixed, and autoplaying audio is still a problem.
Bing uses similar treatment on their satellite imagery and OSM mappers (who are permitted to use it) have been complaining it looks more like painting than actual imagery.

Satellite images have 0.4 m resolution or better these days, what matters most is good color quality (e.g. hyperspherical pansharpening), sensor dynamic range and good lighting conditions (sun elevation in particular).
> The average new car price in the U.S. is now over $47K (Consumer Reports). I make a good living and I'm not going to pay that kind of money for a new car! A young person would be stupid to pay that kind of money for a car.

I think what you mean is that enough Americans are stupid enough with money to pay 47k$ for a car (or worse, a 15mg truck/jeep), plenty of $15-25k cars exist, 45k$ cars just look cheaper with 5-7 years financing.
That’s.. dumb.

I’m the type of person who keeps a lot of car lengths between me and the car ahead like you are /supposed to/ but I’ve also had someone panic stop in from of me and, due to road conditions, I cannot stop in time and have hit them. Not hard. But did all the same.

FSD and similar aren’t magic bullets that would prevent that. People like you who seem to think they are are also part of the problem.

Would a completely automated roadway be fucking awesome for safety and productivity and relaxation? Yes. Is it going to happen anytime soon? Doubtful.

Blows my mind how many people are totally willing to risk their own safety and everyone else’s using known buggy as fuck software. On the road. At 70mph. In a 2 ton vehicle.

… but it hasn’t been an issue for you! You say. Ok.

But I also watch dumb asses lane hop with barely enough room to pass likes it’s a video game and then act surprised when they wreck. So I guess I’m giving people too much credit.
