The most interesting sentence is the title of the piece. Happiness is a reward. Chasing happiness is a fundamentally mistaken project because if you just want to be in a mental state of happiness, do drugs, it's that easy. We got plenty of pharmaceuticals that short circuit all the annoying steps you have to do to be happy.

Roger Scruton in "On Beauty" made a related point about erotic art and porn. What distinguishes the latter from the former is that porn is really about the experience the viewer gets out of it, the object is interchangeable and even degraded (literally humans reduced to body parts). Whereas erotic art requires 'disinterested interest'. that is judgement without reference to one's desires. It elevates, which is why there is beauty in erotic art but not pornography.

Almost always when people talk about how to 'feel happy' they're really after the same kind of thing that Scruton says pornography satisfies. The much more meaningful thing is to look for beauty, which like truth or goodness is pursued for its own sake. That's arguably more meaningful, and it has little to do with whether you feel happy or sad about it.

This is an interesting and maybe even plausible hypothesis, but it lacks any data whatsoever for the final claim.

I have a 1000 W ebike and my Apple Watch still shows me averaging about 130 bpm heart rate on a quick grocery run.
> and not enough room to park it inside

Yeah my property manager keeps telling people to move their bikes inside. I moved my regular bike to my patio, but I refused to move my ebike indoors because I'm not confident about the battery quality and don't like the idea of having 1 kWh of questionable-quality lithium battery inside my apartment in a wooden building.

I also used to charge it from the outlets in the parking lot, but the new property manager that came along last year locked those outlets up so now I have to do the more fire-hazard thing of charging it next to the wooden building with a long extension cord.

I offered them to pay a reasonable fee for the electricity to use the parking lot outlets, letting them know it was in the interest of fire safety, but they chose the more dangerous option.
The movies have taught me to never go on a quest to find the Holy Grail.
basically you get to choose how hard you want to work out, but at about 250w-500w boost, you will maintain about 130bpm, which will burn 400+ calories per hour. It's a pretty decent work out while still being quite pleasurable.

And you get a hill you don't like, you just use max assist and go up without sweating.
I don't like riding heavy bikes with mechanical brakes because they never stop as reliably as good hydraulics. The ultimate limit is always the tire grip on the road, but it's easier to control properly set up hydraulic disc brakes to hit grip limits and get shorter stopping distances. Particularly down a steep hill.
Has anyone made a comparison of Minecraft server performance on ZGC vs Shenandoah vs G1GC on a recent JDK version? I'm curious whether the amazing GC pause numbers hyped by the latest versions of ZGC hold up (max pause times of 500 microseconds and averages of 50 microseconds).

Also what's going on with the generational Shenandoah GC spikes in that graph? There's some pretty crazy spikes that completely dominate the pause numbers and make it pretty hard to read the graph. It looks like GC pauses kept increasing up until the server crashed?
If it's not clear (as the article also mentions this), fresh meat does prevent scurvy! Many, if not most animals, internally produce their own vitamin C and so fresh meat is often loaded with vitamin C. Here's a table listing vitamin C content for various meats. That site separates fish from meat, so you need to change the combobox to also see those data.

Did anyone else notice that they failed to mention clouds?
Weird. I just drove through Oregon last week. I didn't know about this law and everywhere I went, I just pumped my own gas. No one seemed to care. Maybe they were anticipating the change.
Even more important is subsidizing e-bike rental networks.

CitiBike in NYC is a huge success, and making part of the fleet electric was a big upgrade. But it costs a couple bucks for each electric ride on top of an expensive annual membership.

But the number of e-bikes needs to grow much more, and the cost needs to come down. Either electric rides should be included in the annual fee, or else they should be integrated with a subway/bus pass so you can subway+e-bike for the same price you can subway or bus or subway+bus now.
Couldn't you also just manipulate the slide duration?
Worth noting that this report is from the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is chaired by Republican Jim Jordan and includes Matt Gaetz as a member.

From the conclusion of the report:

"CISA must be reined in, as must the Biden Administration’s “whole-of-government”
approach to social media censorship. Every American has the right to express his or her opinion online, and to receive information from others. Government classifications of opinions as “misinformation” or “disinformation” do not nullify the First Amendment’s guarantees."
> So just like any other lane a driver is expected to follow.

Easy to say until physics and a car has their way with you and you end up a stain on the road.

Unprotected bike lanes are unsafe and relying on people following the rules and/or not making mistakes to keep bikers safe won't work.
I lived in Beijing when they replaced a whole overpass bridge (三元桥) overnight. That was nuts. And ya, traffic would have been killed if they took more than a night to do it since you can only get from north to south on a ring road (so 3rd ring traffic would have been diverted to 2nd or 4th ring, that just wasn’t going to happen), leaving the subway as the only reasonable option.

But then china builds all of its projects out quickly.
I wish we were living in the world where politicians actively did listen to public and did some changes.

We need safe bike lanes. If my city has it, I’ll quickly jump the gun to make an investment. To add on top of it, let’s have some theft safety as well by building garages or having an airbnb equivalent of parking in private places. But as I think about these they feel like a child wishing for a gift on Christmas.
> I'm at this very moment gearing up to begin a new large project and am wondering what design makes the most sense

IMO a monolith is always the starting point until your team gets big enough to justify breaking it up.

> Seems like this could be dealt with by applying more discipline and just making sure to design things to be more modular and.. separate

This really depends on the team size. As you get above, say, 30 engineers contributing to your codebase daily communicating those logical boundaries becomes nigh impossible without significant operational overhead. You either accept the chaos and let your codebase become a Big Ball Of Mud (most common) or you introduce so much process overhead that your team paradoxically gets slower the more people you add. I'm sure there are exceptions but it's rare.

> Do we need an entirely different architecture, with all the pitfalls that microservices entail, because we can't seem to keep things clean and separate?

Microservices are probably not the tool to reach for no. Several "fat" services separated along some kind of bounded context within your domain? I've seen that work great as a next step in a monolithic architecture evolution. Teams can have the autonomy they need to make decisions quickly, separation of concerns is enforced by the network. The extra overhead incurred isn't untenable since you only have a few services instead of a hundred.
Ah their pricing was different when I was using them, but I recommend reaching out, they were very flexible and easy to work with they might do something custom for you.
You remember the timeline very differently than I do. Dailymotion, just to give one example, was full of such content until at least 2010.
Did you used to have an axion: "All cpus we care about had altaVec?" All those CPUs are deperciated. The AVX-512 CPUs are depreciated. I have 4 different Xeon systems and none of them have AVX-512. It's a niche and it's cool... But in 4.5 years, we will probably not be having this discussion, and it's sad. Make a AVX-512 coprocessor/transputer please? Multi... So I can cram 3 of those in a PCIe lane and run database systems far and fast - with out oracle/ms-sql... And a broad range of compiler support... Put LAMP at the top of the heap... /End rant.

E-bikes are neither commute vehicles (not confortable to sit on) nor sport equipments (whose utility is to improve public health). They're just hobbyist tech thingies that contribute to e-waste. Why subsidise them?

Electric motorbike is another story, but I don't think they're that common in the developed world.
That’s just not true. Once the max assist speed on an eBike is reached, the motor will stop assisting. So you can barely pedal and use max effort from the assist, but if your meat motor is getting you to 75% max assist speed the motor is only going to push 25%. This notion that the assist will push the meat motor faster is not based in reality.
Yeah,like sub-5% of the fund size.
Here in Tokyo, people park these bikes all the time and it's not a problem.
Learning from your suffering is just about all it takes. For me, believing my suffering was “real” took some time and introspection. Now I draw a hard line at the things I don’t wish to do. The consequences are my path, if it is too miserable, try another.
> Patients lost 24.2%, or 58 pounds, on average after 48 weeks. Those who took the placebo lost 2.1% of their body weight after that same time period.

As a non-obese person who wouldn’t mind losing a few pounds regardless, where can I get some of that placebo!
> Generally you have to run Espressif's FreeRTOS variant, which is a very different programming model from the standard microcontroller-with-interrupts model that prior Arduinos use.

I can tell you never bothered programming an ESP within Arduino IDE and its wrappers. You don't have any contact points with this, unless you want to. It's like with any other ATmega chip. And even if this wasn't the case, the argument would be the same on either side: Just replace Espressif's IDF with Renesas' FSP and each other's FreeRTOS port.

And yes, I am aware you can program Renesas chips bare metal ... just like you can do with ESPs. uBlox is doing the latter for example for their ESP-based products, including even a custom WiFi stack. Once you do a percentage more with ESPs than just toying with their IDF and Getting Started you will start doing that too and just use the IDF for reference at best.

> ESP32 has a crappy ADC.

The ADC of the ESP in question (ESP-S3) is okay, others not so much.
> Until a patch comes out, Google's current recommendation is to turn the feature off. That's easier said than done. Many Android manufacturers like to scramble the settings, making online tutorials difficult, so your best bet might be to just search the system settings for "Emergency SOS."

> can you bribe the property manager $200/mo to not throw away your bike?

I don't know, but I'm mostly just focusing energy on looking for a new apartment now. My current place changed management last year and it's been horrible in many other ways as well. Frankly it's also possible they want me out so they can rent out my place to a new tenant at a much higher price, so they try to be assholes in whatever ways they legally can.
When you build new housing (as in, increase the number of units of housing that are available in total), you make your lot more valuable, which makes other lots less valuable. So a developer makes makes money by making their lot more valuable, but they do not "make real estate more valuable" generally.

This is much like, you know, every other thing in the world. When a shoe manufacturer makes shoes, their shoes have value, but the value of all other shoes are slightly less because there's now one more competitor for demand for all those other shoes.
There was a time when Time Machine was pretty good. But Apple became increasingly parochial about TB backups such that you cannot cull them even with root access. Any culling must be done with the TM app from the original machine that owned the files. This makes it impossible to be the sysadmin for your family's backups.

Now I use Carbon Copy Cloner, Syncthing, and Arq. My family's backups are quicker, more seamless and much easier to administer as a result.
With the link to Algolia, I feel like "work a little" is a tagline you are trying to promote.

biking absolutely is an option for families. I see a ton of kids in bike trailers (I'm in Boston). no they don't work for 100% of people or 100% of journeys, but a cargo bike with appropriate attachments can easily do the majority of trips.
If you want to take it even further a fully virtualized Opnsense with Proxmox is amazing. Your router can float between cluster nodes and each VLAN becomes a virtual interface in the hypervisor. What still blows my mind is how I can migrate the instance to a second server and bring the original server down for maintenance without my users noticing a thing.

I don't think there's any way to really understand what raising a child entails until you've done it.

As I understand, Folia can't help you if all your players are bunched together, but unlike having separate servers connected by Velocity or Bungee, it is a seamless experience -- everyone is in the same world and can visit anyone else without having to use commands, go through portals, or even wait for a loading screen. The "bubbles" that make up the world merge and split seamlessly, with special attention paid to avoid breaking vanilla game mechanics.

[Speculation, I don't have the data and wasn't involved in the test] The test placed each 'team' 10240 blocks apart, which is close enough for a ~30 minute walk to get to another team (~4 minutes if you take the nether), so I assume a lot of bubble merging/splitting happened. It's also far enough away that, if the regionizing logic allows for it, you're split off onto another thread relatively early into your journey to visit another 'team' spawnpoint. This is a relatively realistic scenario for an SMP, where towns are usually 2,000 to 20,000 blocks apart.
The batteries can usually be refurbished (if the BMS is not too clever / requiring special software to setup), and maybe only one or two cells of the whole pack have failed - this would mean replacing only these and thus low waste.

It sure doesn't, and for me that's a point against.

The continuous monitoring of a bunch of my health indicators is quite helpful when trying to determine how much more quickly than baseline the medication I'm on is trying to kill me.
Based on the numbers in the original comment, it seems like it uses about 1/4th of the fuel, which means it would emit 1/4th of the co2. A 75% reduction is definitely something to celebrate, but its not what I would call "near zero emissions (better than electric emissions )".
Yes, I was talking about the case where there is no max speed limit.
Thanks and agreed, this one is a bit short because I skipped writing about the namespaces, cgroups and chroot in details and kept it outside into separate articles, Sadly I've seen in past that when I post relatively long articles then those don't do good because of short attention span (and I don't blame anyone for this, this is just the fact that I noticed).

You can out an apple tag in them. Most of the theft recovery stories I’ve heard about involve the Apple tag. A GPS + cell networker transmitter would help, but the power requirements would probably make it infeasible. Apple tags work great, although thieves are getting iPhones of their own to figure out if the bike has one via the anti stalking feature.

Also, trying to re-get your bike from an encampment after you tracked it down is dangerous, and the police might not have time to help you get your property back (although I’ve heard a success story here as well).
Real-time AV scanning is useless against even a cheap (<$10) packer though. Sure, they'll update their definitions and find it eventually, but if it doesn't have a definition for it now, having a definition for it later simply doesn't matter, the damage is done. I'd argue you're actually better to run it through something like VirusTotal where they'll have a larger assessment from many scanners and sandboxing tools to increase the odds of catching something compared to real-time scans with 1 AV.

The last time the United States had a draft was 1973. The last time the UK had a draft was 1960. Who is the 18 year old who is drafted into the army and sent to fight a war and getting sent to a faraway land to die? I mean. Russians, for at least some value of faraway. But I don't think they're the central example that you're thinking of.
Companies and people aren't going to be so quick to give away the data they control. AI companies have shown that they need tons of data to create their products but they aren't too quick to share the results and they are bound to make billions.

Twitter and Reddit are just looking to get a share of the AI profits. Is it a monopolistic move? Maybe, I don't see where else the AI companies will be a able to get good structure data. The move is pointed towards the AI companies, specially new companies, not users. Since limiting user input will destroy the business model that sells data for AI companies. Going forward structured quality data will always have a price.

I expect for AI companies to buy twitter and/or reddit in the future so they aren't kept away from the data they need.

The alternate move is for AI companies to create their own products that they can use as a data pipe similar to twitter and reddit.

As someone who rides motorcycles, even low speed collisions can be dangerous. Anything above ~20mph means that you are going to hit the ground pretty hard and then skid, taking off skin. Regular bikes are mostly fine, but it quickly gets dangerous even to fall off in a single-person accident at higher speeds.

US bike infrastructure is not there. There's not enough places to park the bikes and it's not convenient to get around on them. Scooters are actually easier to get around on in cities, and a bike just can't replace a car in rural areas. Suburbs and small towns are set up for ebikes, but that's not gonna be transformative enough to justify the credit. You will end up with a generation deciding ebikes aren't worth it. The purchases will end up as a discount on toys that will end up in the garbage in 2 years.

We need a multi-phase, 30 year plan to eliminate the need for personal cars. It's a hard problem to solve in general, but moreso in the US which is built for cars. More protected bike lanes need to be rolled out, bike racks expanded tremendously, park-and-ride options expanded, increased public transit. There's plenty of mobility needs that a bike simply can't replace that need new solutions, so funding for experiments, new businesses, etc will be needed. It requires funding, construction, passing of contentious city and county ordinances.

It's a complex problem. There is no simple solution.
Glad there are more of us!
