Raising the streetcar suburb is a great point.

Many major and minor cities all across North America were not designed for the car, as much as they may seem so today. They were designed for the streetcar, with commercial blocks strung out along those streetcar corridors.

In older bigger cities these streetcar corridors densified and became commercial districts, while in younger ones they were on the precipice before the car and rigid zoning stopped the transition.

These corridors remain as valuable arteries awaiting a return to their original designs. Simple and affordable upgrades like bus rapid transit, small apartment buildings and bike lanes could once again transition them into being powerful parts of a transportation network that does not rely on car ownership.
It would be hard for China to maintain and the whole time they are trying to source parts and find people able to maintain it they wouldn’t be able to get the newest equipment so start falling behind again.

The US could even bomb the factories to deny the resource.
Rust is annoying when you are doing something you know is sound, "yes I looked both ways and re-checked twice, chill out OK", but the compiler yells at you anyway. Zig is great in such situations. Rust really shines when you are doing something you are not confident at all in—juggling 17 knives, in a large codebase with many contributors that you are new to, and you haven't had any coffee—and you can relax because you know the compiler will catch your soundness mistakes.

Good blog post to this effect: https://matklad.github.io/2023/03/26/zig-and-rust.html
The point was Blizzard’s willingness is a sign of the transformative nature of the copying. "Weird Al" Yankovic similarly seeks permission even if it might not be needed, but he also regularly receives it.

By comparison it’s relatively rare for say k-pop stars to either seek or revive permission from other k-pop stars.
i would say bike autists equally struggle to imagine what it is like to live anywhere besides the most population-dense, infrastructurally developed 15 square miles on the face of the earth.
i have a very good sense of what it is like to live without a car as i did so for 20 years and it fucking sucks. i have no desire to have to bike 10 miles in 80+ degree heat with a saxophone in one hand and a guitar in the other ever again. i have no desire to experience the vibrant living of being packed into an 11pm vomit comet ever again. i have no desire to have to pad every commute & outing with an extra 45 to 60 minutes of stops ever again.

You're right, of course. Our nation would never be lenient on white collar crime.
If it were as easy as merely dropping some coins/bills into the instrument case of a street performer is, I'd be perfectly willing to pay.

What I have absolutely no urge for are things like creating an account with Google (or any other service provider), having to give them a phone number and/or other information about myself in order to create that unwanted account, having to log in to it, having my activity tracked, having to get my credit card involved, not being certain that I'll get timely support if something goes wrong with all of that stuff, and so on.
'I'd call it "economy and policy".'

Is there really a difference? In any first world country, society seems to be driven by this, regardless of the safety nets.

"Everyone is so spread-out, there's nothing to do except going to someone else's house, and you have to drive to get anywhere."

This is highly variable. I've lived on suburbs were there were thing to do. It wasn't that spread out, so I could bike places.

"I don't want people in my house."

Perhaps this is part of the problem.

"shouldn't involve picking whose house we're meeting at, or driving, or a $XX 20 minute + 10 min wait-time Uber,"

I think you may be confusing rural for suburb. 20 minutes to get to a bar/cafe/restaurant is not a typical suburban experience.
Can still use OEM SLIC and bin bios mod I think?
Could also be a happy accident though. Half an hour is short enough that the amount of radiation emitted is pretty high, but long enough that it hasn't pretty much all decayed by the time you try to measure it.
Its not just children. If you travel by yourself you often make friends who 7 days later are your "best friends", just like children.

We just need a way to foster those situations in real life.

The biggest issue I find with things like meetup.com initially there can be alot of talk about meetup, oh how often do you do this, bit weird isn't it, bonding over the mild awkwardness of the situation.

After that you form genuine friendships but then can't be bothered with those conversations anymore and either duck out of the group with your friends or become cliquey within the group.

The people who are always there and enthusiastically meeting new people every single week for years I always find a little odd and struggle to form a genuine deep connection with, because they're doing the surface level stuff on auto pilot and you have to regularly do it too if you're going to spend alot of time with them (because they're doing it with others even if not you).

It's an interesting situation to navigate and I understand why some struggle or don't bother.

> Let's examine your I don't spend majority of hours claim, So there are 24 hours in the day, you work for 8, 2 hours for commuting, 1 hour for showering, taking a shits, getting dressed and all that, 1 hour for various chores, like buying groceries, laundry, cooking, etc, 1 hour for exercise, 7 hours for sleep. You have about 6 hours a day left for "fun". Last time I checked 6<8

Let's examine what you know about my life: last time I checked, nothing. It certainly does not look like what you describe (hint: I don't work 8 hours a day, even on most weekdays).

Given the claim was "Incidentally, I don't spend the majority of my waking hours at work", it's a bit strange that you've included "1 hour for showering, taking a shits, getting dressed and all that, 1 hour for various chores, like buying groceries, laundry, cooking, etc, 1 hour for exercise" in there. And I agree that you should include commute in calculating your hourly pay, which is why I would not take a job which required 2 hours of commuting per day.

And do you work weekends, or are you ignoring a solid (24 x 2) - (7 x 2) = 34 hours of the week here?

I'd respond to the part of your post before that, but this math is too absurd.

Even though bananas are famously radioactive, it's very low activity and I don't know that a regular detector could pick up the emissions from a single banana. You'd probably need a truck full of them.
All the expensive VR headsets sold terribly, except for the cheap Oculus Quest. The lesson seems clear: When it comes to VR, people strongly favor price over quality. Which in turn suggests the Apple headset will fail.

VR is perhaps like the original Game Boy: Not very powerful, no color screen, but low price and long battery life. It sold a lot, unlike the competition.
The price of one Apple display?
You're arguing against an imagined extreme. Nobody is saying "eliminate streets".

The closest thing to 'eliminating streets' you see people advocating for is streets in urban cores that are pedestrian / bicycle first and car second.

Deliveries can be still go down those streets at off hours and slowly. If necessary emergency vehicles can still access those streets and turn on their sirens to clear people out.

London and Europe have tons of streets like that and most US cities have none.
Ask HN: Is VR the Future?
Do people want to strap a headset to their face? Do we want to continue isolating people from each other and the world? Why is this modality being pushed so hard?
SSRIs "end life" because it causes changes in mental health, which is often a turbulent thing for people who take SSRIs. It's not the drug itself.

Self reports of extreme efficacy on the internet happen for things like homeopathic medicine and isn't really evidence. I am aware of studies that do show efficacy for these though.

Psychedelics aren't addictive but they cause severe impairment which is dangerous. Also they're fun which the DEA hates.

As I said, it isn't just abuse. It's also addiction and danger and fun police.

All these issues arise from political priorities. If you want good public transit, you must build it as infrastructure for the middle class. If the target audience is not the middle class, nobody really cares if your public transit works. You want to build a city where using public transit is the default, and driving is for situations where people have special needs.

Public transit is not a social program. Whether the poor can afford public transit on their own is mostly irrelevant. If you want social programs, start separate social programs. Don't ruin other programs with unrelated goals.
The internet didn't push it. It pushed for more clicks.
It's worth mentioning the truly ludicrous number of positions that chess networks are trained on, usually in the billions. Which is a bit interesting, because it suggests they're not as good at generalizing from examples as human grandmasters, who might see only millions. Perhaps this isn't surprising, since LLMs are this way with language, but given the structure of chess it's be reasonable to expect they wouldn't be quite as data hungry.

My personal take is that chess isn't all that structured, really. Yes, the ruleset, pieceset, and board are small, but the tactics of the game make it chaotic – seemingly trivial differences in board state can lead to dramatically different consequences.
I wish Zig had Go-like interfaces. I understand why they don't as they have decided control flow must be explicit but having to include a heap of boilerplate to get the same result isn't a win for readability or maintenance. Given my limitations and tastes I would not want to write or maintain web backend code in Zig but there is a lot to like about Zig as a C replacement and having batteries included for things like HTTP is a win for any language.
... wat? imperative; compiled to machine code, either static exe or dynamic libs; builtin RAII & polymorphism (parametric, subtyping); maps, vectors, trees, and other data structures in the stdlib; raw access to pointers; C ABI compat. there are some big differences, but "nothing like c++" is absolutely not true.

The author claims to have had auto-updates disabled as well, surprise surprise.
Well that would have been my initial thought as well, but I don't know nearly enough about the project to say why it may not have gained a much traction as if hoped for. A team of likely very dedicated people put a ton of effort and passion into the project, I'm not willing to just write that off.

Agree with the specific is it not, we need more projects like this testing unique idea and sharing their lessons. In the crypto space specifically, we have learned very little to nothing from most projects because they just try the same model. I'm happy to see a project thinking differently regardless of how it turns out.

Now with regards to your specific argument, centralization and standardization aren't always the answer. It's a web of hyperlocal currencies the answer? No idea. But does that really mean we should centralize all power and stick with one currency and one monetary policy? Should we do that with other things like communication platforms, social media networks, and move all state powers up to the federal government? Would we all be better off with one global currency and one global back driving monetary policy?
Interesting. So, when the "open source" movement was born out of a desire to become business friendly, it did not envision that the approach would eventually come back, 30 years down the road, to nastily bite them. Problem is big corps live long, longer than the average concentration span of a free software shop. And they have plenty of money and corporate hacks to co-opt "open source" and then take over. But hey, "open source".
> open plan offices were the norm until the 1960s

I did not know this.

However, pre-1980+ (or later), most workers were probably head-down looking at paper on their physical desktop. And surely more of them had actual offices compared to the cubical 80s-2000s or open offices 2000+.

Also, I would assume that pre-voip technology meant that salespeople were not yelling into their phones for the "joy" of their open-office-mates as they were 2000+.
Just a guess but I’ve heard medieval beer would’ve been low alcohol and I think most of the diuretic effect of alcoholic drinks is due to the body processing the alcohol. So it might be possible.

Poll: “A SQL query” or “an SQL query?”
Which is correct? Grammar guides would suggest "an SQL" ("an ess-queue-ell"), but does common pronunciation of the acronym imply "a sequel query" is correct?

Surely this deserves at least as much debate as tabs vs. spaces...

Thank you for your kind words !

I remind you that any comparison with TOML, JSON, or YAML only concerns one of the capabilities of Jesth, namely the ability to convert a compatible section into a dictionary data structure.

A Jesth document may not have a section intended to be converted into a dictionary data structure. Therefore Jesth can be used e.g. as a markup language for docstrings (My closed-source documentation generator parses the source code to populate the 'docs' folder of my projects with Markdown files [1])

Therefore, the lines below are for Jesth sections intended to be converted to a dictionary data structure.

There is currently no type system, that is, a mechanism to ensure that values assigned to a certain key always conform to a specific data type. I'm thinking about it. Think about how we create relational database tables with SQL.

Jesth is not going to be a TOML superset, they have incompatible underlying philosophies. For example, the design decisions behind Jesth accidentally created an unlimited pool of reserved words (headers with double square brackets on either side are reserved words), from which I used [[END]] to mark the end of a Jesth stream. TOML currently doesn't have such a thing since they already use these double square brackets on each side for something that is trivially done in Jesth.

I think "ChatGPT" is distinctive to their specific product, but not just "GPT" in general.
I personally understand the TS team’s stance. Imagine every dev shop having their own TS transforms in the pipeline… I could easily envision fragmentation. TS is great because of how predictable it is.
Another big example is Tokyo. Sure there's cars and roads in Tokyo, but it's absolutely not the major way that people move around. It's a relatively car light city.

Or closer to NA have a look at Vancouver. From a high level looking at the whole region, it's about as devoted to cars as everywhere else in North America, though if you peek down to the neighbourhood level you can see some incredible successes in moving people away from car use. In the near downtown West End area for example, some 45% of the population walks to work.
Apple owns an iMac factory in Ireland.

It’s just a different set of values. If you want the latest tech specs, like OLED or whatever else, then you’ll find that in other brand.

But if you prefer a system that just gets out of your way so you don’t need to think about it, and just use it as a tool to do something else then Apple is nearly unbeatable.

And I say this as a recent Apple convert. I reluctantly started using their tech a few years ago when a Macbook was the laptop given to me at a new job. But since embracing the idea of “meh I’ll just use the defaults and let the system get out of my way”, I feel like I get to spend more time on things where I add value.

I switched to an iPhone for the first time in 2020 with the SE, and it is still running fine today with no problems, on the latest software update. I don’t care about the screen-to-body ratio, I just want it to work well as a tool
It's a very convenient arrangement - first you get a couple of tech megacorps to monopolize the device and app store market to the point where the vast majority of apps are only ever published on their platforms and through their distribution channels. And then you regulate those megacorps and claim that this has nothing to do with restricting what the citizens have access to, even though the net result is the same.
Yes. Facebook runs all photos thru digital recognition. If you look at the alt text for a photo in the feed it will have a string generated by their photo analyzer. But that's just the front. They also use facial recognition to learn which other FB accounts are in your orbit, or make shadow profiles if they don't recognize a facial fingerprint. That way if that person ever signs up, they match the metadata from the shadow profile. This is all in service of scaling ad targeting surface area, which can be sold by the eyeball to generate massive wealth.
From the API documentation, audio looks pretty barebones (e.g. I don't see anything about any synthesis or filtering nodes, so it seems to be limited to loading audio files), but the inclusion of a SpatialAudioSink is encouraging.

There's been some significant hype about this maybe pioneering rapid development techniques, about NGAD being less strictly a single fighter & more like a general platform. I guess we'll have to wait a long while before we find out what the gist really is.
The replies are full of people that can't imagine life without cars. I grew up in a suburb of Edmonton, I know what it's like to just "know" that cars are freedom and a way to get to ever conceivable place. I left that place 20 years ago and I could make a long reply about what it's like to live in various sized cities in Japan and Europe but let me just say that not needing a car to get from your house in a town to restaurants, grocery stores, shops, parks, etc offers much more freedom than needing a car to get to such things. And there are a lot of places where you can live in a town, even on an acreage and still be in the town and able to get to a train station to get to a nearby city, if your argument is that you can't stand cities and need your space.

Car-people can't imagine a town instead of a suburb and can't imagine that you can get from a town to a city by train or bus. Or that you don't need to travel to some far-off place with a huge car to get a ton of groceries because you can walk a few blocks and pick up the ingredients for dinner.
It's a wild thing to go for, the demonstrated usefulness of VR/AR in business is still very niche. The vast majority of businesses will simply have no use for them, and those that do have a use for them will likely buy them in single digit volumes.
Speaking of precedent, this seems like a pretty straightforward violation of the interstate commerce clause.
Rust used to use the word try in a similar context, but was considered too noisy, and opted for ? instead, which I think worked out very well in practice.

I'm not inserted into their niche hobby to evaluate. It wouldn't surprise me if other sci fi conventions leaned really progressive, and perhaps stories that appeal to the demographic of the "based"
convention are smothered in such places. (Writing "based" convention made me sort of cringe).

I mean, let's not pretend that the progressive crowd is any less exclusive in what they allow in their spaces. It's called a "cultural war" for a reason.

Honestly, this is almost a non-story. People that lean conservative made sci-fi convention that appeal to their own demographic, and apparently people made enough of a fuss about John Carmack showing up there that he felt the need to issue a statement about it.

This is all really tiresome, and the main reason why I at some point really stopped caring about either side viewpoints. The things that interest me are orthogonal to their interests.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is 40 years old by now. Despite massive improvements in computer graphics, it still seems to essentially be the niche product it always was. Which is consistent with the "graphics don't matter much" theory.
“Mindfulness,” in a word. Sounds trite. I’ve also tried all kinds of therapies: behavioral, physical, retail, drug, etc. Somewhere in the stream of self-help tasks and unwise habits, I learned how to recognize when my own thinking takes a negative turn.

It’s difficult to stop after starting on a stressful chain of thought, and old stress patterns still surface. But life’s gotten better since I consciously cultivated the ability to stop and redirect my thoughts - more and more toward others.

In any event, I hope you find peace of mind
Well it's importing images from a card into the apple photos catalogue, and randomly scattering them thru the folders in it's database. That's kinda useless for anyone wanting to manage literally terabytes of images.

Otherwise it's really slick. Frustrating.
