The city’s density makes it impossible for everyone to own a car. So no, the default step shouldn’t be “let’s ensure all the Moses era car infrastructure is maintained.” Moses’s big mistake was not taking into account the idea that a majority of residents might own a car.

Want a good example of Moses’s lack of foresight. Look at photos from the 40’s. You know why they look so different? It’s not the people or the buildings. It’s that not every inch of the curb in the 40’s was dedicated to parallel parking (and fully used) like it is today.

Is it so hard to segregate personal and work activities? Do the personal stuff, hobbies, religions, ... on your own time in your own place with your own group. When in the work environment, do work things and play well with others who probably aren't the people you'd prefer to be with. If their behaviour is that uncomfortable to you, you'll move on. Similarly, if your behaviour is that uncomfortable to them, you'll move on.

When it's an "extremely sold out" kind of popular, that can definitely be a reason for skepticism. It's easy to sell out if you barely make any, and when it comes to halo products with significant flaws you want it to be sold out.
Probably depends on way of thinking or workflow. It's never been an issue for me.

I also think that regardless, a global menubar is better than a hamburger menu because it allows far more functions to be surfaced in an efficient, consistent, organized manner. Hamburger menus only contain what the developer deems "essential" and have no rhyme or reason, which makes for considerable chunks of functionality that are buried in dialog tunnels.

How to password protect a static HTML page with no JavaScript

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so.

I tried both 12ft.io and archive.is to read this article, but neither seemed to work. Has anyone managed to bypass the paywall here and can share what worked for them?
I own all of these things, but after watching repair guides for my specific model, I decided that it was a better choice to have a definitely working rice cooker that needs the clock set when I want to use the timer (I only use the timer maybe once a month). I agree about the repair thing in general though; I own trackballs; the buttons are almost always the first thing to wear out and they are very replaceable with an iron.

The reason isn't 'western governments', more the fundamental dynamics of stable neighbourhoods.

Go to any country in the world with an upper-middle class neighbourhood and ask them if it's alright to plop an extra condo or apartment building in the middle.

The only way you'll smoothly get permission is by providing huge, costly, benefits to the local households.

Otherwise it would involve a long drawn-out court battle, or some scheme with the local political potentates, pretty much everywhere where there are such neighbourhoods.
Maybe my mind has already gone insane but I’m reading the part where the company is using the language “cleverly” and all I’m seeing is software engineering practices being applied to a language to make it scale across large projects. Sure, you can be upset that the language sucks or whatever, but given that you have a bunch of legacy code in a language that doesn’t have modern affordances, these all seem very reasonable and in some cases almost admirable. I’ve been in codebase with similarly poor languages (BASIC, C, assembly) and doing things like imposing “namespaces” or refactoring code into “modules” within the confines of what your tools let you do would have been very helpful.

Blocking UI access in prod is fine, but developers should be able to experiment rapidly and in an agile manner in dev environments. If you forcibly block UI access in those cases, developers simply do less exploration and stick to tried-and-true solutions, even when those solutions no longer suit the problem at hand.

> Only a fraction of the US population work and thus commute.

The fraction that doesn't work is either too young to pay taxes anyway, or they had used road commutes before they retired. Everybody else are within the margin of error.

Additionally, if you are not using a car for commute, you're likely to be in the lower tax brackets and thus not paying (much) in taxes anyway. I had a paper looking at exact numbers bookmarked, but I lost it somehow.

So in practice, car owners don't get substantially subsidized by transit users. While the inverse is overwhelmingly true, transit users are massively subsidized by car users.

> This means any two lengths of similar roads will have about the same upkeep cost

This is simply incorrect. Vehicles cause stresses in the concrete, allowing fractures to accumulate, and they also directly wear down the pavement. The weather then amplifies the damage, especially in areas that experience frequent zero crossings.

This seems true from our experiences attempting to implement non-capitalist systems in large societies. I think there could be a caveat for very small societies, especially those voluntarily joined, in which sharing goods and labor is possible with democratic modes of conflict management. There are also non-democratic capitalist systems that resort to extreme repression in order to resolve or suppress internal conflict. At scale, I agree no other economic system seems as compatible with democracy and individual choice, but as recent history has shown in Russia and China, capitalism itself doesn't seem sufficient to give rise to liberty.
> You can't legally enter an intersection (advance past the stopping line if present) until you are clear to perform your transit of the intersection.

Yeah, I've seen tickets written for this in Emeryville, CA for cars that entered on green and weren't going to clear the intersection in the next ten minutes. (I don't know if the intersection is still that bad.) Bicycle cop, because there was no way they'd get a car in there.

> Left on red is never legal

I recall that this was legal in Michigan, where I grew up, but it either had to be onto or off of a one way street. I could never remember which, so I didn't try it.

But I did see someone make a left on red on market street in SF from the rightmost lane, which is very illegal.

With a Mac Studio it isn't just relatively silent in almost cases it is silent.

With a PC you still have case fans running because even with modern motherboards they don't support switching them off at low temperature. You need to be running special Windows software.

And to cool the CPU you really need to be running AIO or dedicated water coolers which themselves will have 3 fans almost always running.

Never tried psilocybin but once ate some shit mushrooms by accident that gave me the runs and resulted in some pretty bad dehydration. No fun when you need to go every 15 minutes and it's 3 AM and all you have for a toilet is a shovel to dig a ditch and leaves from a tree to wipe :D

I don't think there are enough users of this Mercedes thing - and even it there were, they are most certainly not the type of people who will post their videos on youtube...

Tesla publishes very limited and extremely biased numbers - they don't publish raw numbers allowing anybody to do the work.

"Tesla pretty much develop in the open" - that's the issue though - should something like car auto-pilot be allowed to be developed in the open ?

My request was not a shot at Tesla, I just think it would be a very interesting to see - say you are able to isolate and filter all situations of some type (say left turn) from all youtube FSD videos - and compare across the different versions in time. I would love that !
I can relate. I had wanted to write my own version of Asteroids for 40 years. Maybe not as ambitious as an RPG, but then again, I didn't write a straight clone; I made it my own way, and I finally did ship it. So hats off to this guy, and I'm gonna go support his Patreon.

All that in the pursuit of ideological purity.
> You certainly can subsidize large populations because taxes cover all income but are being used specifically to encourage just one more of transportation.

It can be argued that rich people subsidize poor, since they pay more taxes. However, that's pretty much it.

Transit users in the US overwhelmingly do NOT subsidize car users. While the inverse is true, transit users on average don't pay even half of the true cost of transit. The rest is born by everyone.

I know it's way more stuff for them to test, but being able to enable/disable individual features is so huge. My blind-spot warning on my Mazda is super sensitive (plus I drive mostly in traffic so any time I put my turn signal on there is a car next to me). I want to be able to turn it off, but since it uses the same sensors as my RCTA, they can only be enabled/disable together. I love the RCTA, so I just have learned to ignore the beeping that invariably happens every time I signal...

> where we provide lockfiles that are individually valid

Providing lockfiles is a really interesting idea! That certainly solves the "we need your non-deterministic build tool to reproduce an exact build that we found" problem.

We haven't explored this route yet because a lot of our customers use tools that don't support lockfiles (e.g. Maven - Java in general has a lot of legacy stuff).

I don't use Azure, so I'm not sure where I would look for something like this.

I've been aware of some enterprise projects that are running on Azure, where from the description of how their architecture worked, I couldn't understand how they weren't drowning in network cost. It makes a bit more sense now if I know that Azure weren't charging people for some types of network bandwidth.

The current Mac Pro is kind of pointless. Before you got a powerful workstation (power consumption was irrelevant), now you get a Studio Mac in a new package. I feel they just launched it for “compliance” not because it is a great product. They hit a wall with scaling the M chip architecture. Building an even larger chip than the Ultra would be insane and going multi socket is not possible.

My fire department, police, and parks are certainly not subsidized. I pay for them from my taxes.
Does anybody know how it compares with comma.ai? I've been using it for years and seldom use the steering wheel on the highway.
There is no way to know when it stops, but looking at the historical trend it isn’t slowly down yet.

The technology for synthetic karosene is something we have today, expect it cost more 10x regular karosene and:

A) what’s the path to scale to bring that number down? Who isn’t going to pay that 10x price while it’s that high. Batteries had cell phones, then laptop, then cars and storage. Now it’s trucks, ships and planes are next up.

B) by continuing with combustions engines you keep the same operating costs that you have now. Whereas electrification gets rid of many of them (same way it did for cars).
Yes, the Americans are not as effective at war on drugs as Europeans, which is why we have very high rates of death from overdoes, which is the main driver of low life expectancy.

The city should abolish or extremely tax all on street parking. Then you could have sensible loading zones for deliveries and garbage containerizing.

That said… given how many trucks bring goods into the city, I don’t see how abolishing the BQE is remotely tenable.
> #2 never had much of a compelling argument given auditability.

There are already AI systems which generate "scores" based on likelyhood to commit another crime (used in parole cases) and likelyhood to be a "good tenant" (used by landlords).

Don't underestimate the difficulty to fix something when the people in charge of that thing do not want it fixed.

It's very misleading because you're starting from the supposition of EVs rather than the actual mix of personal cars. If you choose EVs for the cars, why not choose ZEV buses that are starting to enter the market as well?

> And drivers are POLLUTING AS HELL.

What? I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say here.

> No. It _destroys_ affordable housing to pack people into smaller and smaller footprints. Tokyo is a _great_ example of that.

It doesn't destroy affordable housing, though, it shifts it to other areas while increasing density near stations. You need to show why that's a bad thing. Most urban planners and economists would say that increased density is a good thing and that Tokyo is an excellent example of a city done right.

You seem to have a personal bone to pick with high-density cities that's just not shared by most other people.
Maybe I should put some more time into my new Qubes install, plus see what the latest updates to my Pinephone look like.
> Taxes that are also paid by those who don't drive, yes?

If you want to be strictly true then yes.

In practice, if you are using transit in the US, then you are likely not paying much in taxes. There are exceptions (NYC, SF, DC), of course.
See my other comment in this thread as you’ve misinterpreted what I’ve said. I’m still trying to figure out how, but perhaps I’ve internalized Christian ethics to a point where my stance seems obvious to me but not to you!
Limited to 40 miles an hour and only allowed on freeways seem like incompatible constraints...
It's easier to make something small and quiet if it's power efficient. It will need to dissipate less heat.
I seem to remember there being a number of drain derailments lately. Hardly a great safety record compared to either Mercedes' or Tesla's systems.

I've already address this point:

> But of course, given the enormous anti-hydrogen campaign of the last decade, everything is currently at an immature level.

You cannot go from zero to 100% instantly. There needs to be a period of scaling up, which has not been granted yet. This will come down in price drastically in the future. The main advantage is the lack of raw materials needed compared to a battery solution, only needing some tanks plus some electrical equipment not much bigger than what home solar people deal with.
> I would appreciate "automated rumble strips" that warns me gently if I veer out of my lane.

The Toyota CH-R my wife had did that. Above 50 km/h / 30mph the steering wheel would gently "shake" if you tried to switch lanes without using your blinker.

Several brands/models offer that, sadly sometimes as an extra (FWIW I think it should be illegal to offer that as an extra: it should either come stock or not be offered at all... Safety features shouldn't be something you need to pay for).

It's not at all self-driving though.

I also enjoyed the side mirrors indicating (using some kind of yellow LED) when there was a vehicle in the blind spot.

Hank talked about how the best time to start was 15 years ago, but the second-best time is today.

John talked about how when he started covering Apple, he worried that the market was already saturated.
Doing the same thing. I ended up putting a 7950x into what was intended to be my next threadripper chassis and with stock settings the fans don't turn on. The only moving part would be the water pump, which is very quiet. Once in a while I get a gurgle from a bubble.

The main opinion and relevant facts are on pages 5-40. Dissenting opinion is on pages 44+. An interesting quote from there:

> Oracle spent years developing a programming library that successfully attracted software developers, thus enhancing the value of Oracle’s products[1]. Google sought a license to use the library in Android, the operating system
it was developing for mobile phones. But when the companies could not agree on terms, Google simply copied verbatim 11,500 lines of code from the library. As a result, it erased 97.5% of the value of Oracle’s partnership with Amazon, made tens of billions of dollars, and established its position as the owner of the largest mobile operating system in the world.
> ...
> Oracle gave developers free access to these methods to encourage them to write programs for the Java platform. In return, developers were required to make their programs compatible with the Java platform on any device. Developers were encouraged to make improvements to the platform, but they were required to release beneficial modifications to the public. If a company wanted to customize the platform and keep those customizations secret for business purposes, it had to pay for a separate license.
