It is definitely my ambition to implement public transportation but it is much harder to implement than cars. I live in Paris so I know what a non-car-centric city looks like and all the complexities around it (not to say I don't like it!).

With cars, anyone can go anywhere without thinking much, although it is a bit of an overstatement considering the time I have spent fighting gridlocks.
How do you remote access an air-gapped workstation? Seems like you'd need to be constantly switching whether your laptop is on the internet-connected network or the isolated network. If the laptop can switch between them automatically, wouldn't that make it possible for an attacker to jump the gap?

Even just having hosts that are sometimes internet connected and sometimes on the airgap network will greatly weaken the isolation. Stuxnet could cross an airgap with just static media, allowing thousands of computers that sometimes connect to the internet across the airgap seems like a fatal weakness.
I wonder when they’ll wind up increasing that 5GB to something more.

Their tools are pretty damn durable; I have broken some but that's to be expected (and the repair/warranty has been quite reasonable).

Sure, they can be and are often longer, but not because you were forced to use long keys, it just happened that the thing you want to store in a hash table is a long string. The way you worded it made it sound to me like you were saying that one has to use long keys, not that in practice one often has to deal with long keys. But even then I am not convinced that this should give an additional factor in the complexity analyses, I think I would argue, at least in some situations, that calculating hashes of long keys should still be considered constant time, that for the longest keys. But I can also imagine to take this into account if the key length is not only big but also highly variable.

When employees quit to take a higher paying job elsewhere, do you feel the same way? They weren’t making enough to “justify staying open” at their old job, so they changed and we celebrate them for their action (as we should, IMO).

When we use a coupon or shop on Black Friday, we’re being smart, frugal purchasers. When companies do the equivalent, what are they doing?
I'm not sure about SREs - it probably depends on company, but where I work, if you aren't oncall, you develop projects similarly to a SWE - so you can still think about work after you clock out.
Yes they would, we are not talking about mental/physical handicapped people here. It's people who are already in mainstream society and end up being insane from the perspective of society, they can still fish, hunt, farm. Moreover, concerned people or even the government can provide them aid if they need it, they are still citizens.

That's how it works in Mexico. You only need prescription for antibiotics (makes sense as their abuse would create a public problem) and psychologic related drugs (I dont agree with some of them like amitriptyline... ) .

But other than that you can get almost anything even buying it online and get it at home in the next 3 hours.

That's how I buy duloxetine every month.
Personally, none of them. I was born in one of the most rural places imaginable. I can't stand big city life. I currently live in one of the top 10 largest cities in America for work and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to move back to the country.

I have the completely opposite impression. Europe can do no wrong, American is bad. That sentiment is much more popular than the other way around, even in a post about how much bigger American economy has become compared to Europe [1].

You yourself is getting defensive about an article in a publication that is far from promoting American exceptionalism (check it's homepage), written by a Swiss with an European education, living in Europe, with a career covering Europe's affairs [2]

"The App Store" is like a record store that extends for hundreds of miles in every direction. He was right about the concept; but the store is in cyberspace and the media is a file instead of a disc.
Of course it was sold - by the means you mentioned, but also, those profits were then quickly deployed into decades long marketing strategies - which has led to a world addicted to low quality, cheap goods - an addiction we cannot be weaned off of. So much so, as the article laments, we can't even make a wrench.
I see a lot of misinformed takes in here and this is a very nuanced topic. However unless you actually work in services interacting with mentally ill and homeless people you likely have a very skewed idea of how things work. I know I certainly did before I became involved.

Washington state has what is called ITA (involuntary treatment act) which is used for holding people in mental health facilities temporarily. These people are placed there after a DCR (designated crisis responder) performs an evaluation on the person.

I work in an ED in a busy city hospital. We have a constant stream of psych patients coming in. Not all of them end up on ITA. Some times they just need to go through a 72 hr hold in the ED and detox and are fine to be released. Other pts coming in every week , they’re too unstable to live in a shelter but not enough of a danger to themselves or others to be sent to a mental health facility.

The social workers at the hospital are the ones who make these decisions to place pts on holds. They are not tyrants with power trips. These are people who have Masters in psychology and licensed in the state. They’re incredibly empathetic people working a job that is massively underpaid compared to their private sector colleagues.

Some of these pts are absolutely unable to care for themselves but again can’t get into shelters because they are behaviorally nondirectable so their only recourse is to live on the streets.

Pts get ITA and sent off to facilities but after 30 days they’re released back on to the street only to end up in crisis again and back in the ED to start the process again. We have one regular pt who cuts himself every time he gets released. His legs and arms are covered in scars. He isn’t capable of taking care of himself but he doesn’t stay sober enough to live in a shelter so he’s in the ED every week until something bad enough happens that he gets ITA and sent to a facility again, rinse repeat. There’s no where for most of these people. There is no long term facility for people who are not able to care for themselves and function in society.

When I worked at homeless shelters before the hospital I’m at it was a mess. There’s no help for people who want to get sober. You’re thrown into a barracks style room mixed in with sex offenders, users, elderly, mentally ill, there’s no separation and there’s no services to help people so you see them relapsing constantly. There’s usually encampments outside the shelters so those trying to get clean can’t even go outside without being triggered by the surrounding people using openly and selling to those living in the shelters. It’s really hard to be sober and get your shit together living in a shelter.

This is just a scratch of the surface. It’s so much more complex and nuanced than what you think.
I am unsure if I understand well, so just to clarify:

- Egregoria is written in Rust directly using wgpu as a graphics backend and a custom "engine" which is not really an engine as it is built with only one game in mind

- Cities:Skylines is built in C# using Unity as the game engine

From a very quick look, the key-based identity might be what would require protocol-forking for Matrix and Pleroma chat, and non-trivial extension for XMPP, and thereby be the motivating factor of making a non-compatible protocol.
> There’s so much manufacturing capability concentrated in a small number of places that every process option is on the table

Which is why the auto industry grew up in the Great Lakes in general and southeastern Michigan in particular: there were so many different machine shops that you could find someone to make almost any imaginable part and just order the quantity needed without having to worry about making something like the River Rouge plant that took in raw materials and spat out cars.
The other key detail missing is presumably that the workstation is not air gapped at all, just prevented from accessing the internet with some firewall rules.

For those that don't know: air gapped means completely disconnected, as in literally pull the network cable out the back and never back in again. File transfers have to happen using some physical medium (traditionally write-once CDs/DVDs). You can have an air gapped network so long as the machines are just connected to each other and there's no physical route whatsoever to the internet.
Oh, I'm not claiming they didn't.

It's just that usually in such comparisons you get to see USA, and USA was an extreme outlier that makes comparison useless in my opinion.
Please stop focusing on inequality. What matters is whether the quality of life for the most impoverished is increasing or decreasing.

Consider: would you rather increase the standard of living of the poorest by 2x if it meant also increasing it for the richest by 100x (increasing inequality) or would you rather decrease the standard of living of the richest by 100x and also the poorest by 2x (decreasing inequality). A lot of discourse around inequality seriously proposes the latter (out of ignorance rather than malice).
Who was calling customer service to begin with? I’m not a user, but I suspect there’s more margin with customers who are large enough to have a firm or internal team handle Shopify for them, and that’s not the type of person (one would hope) that would call customer service unless there was an account-level issue. If that’s the case, then they are simply evolving away from the mom-and-pop priority that made it so popular to begin with :(
Many surfaces of the Earth are eroded away over that timescale, but not all. Otherwise we would be be able to dig up dinosaur bones.
Try it for short run PCB or PCBA and you’ll see the difference is 3-20x rather than merely 2x. (And the one that’s on the low end of the scale isn’t as flexible as the Chinese suppliers; most are in the 8-20x range.)
I replied to you also, and you chose not to answer.

> That people are more susceptible to drug addiction than before.

Maybe somewhat; but a bigger part of it is that what was a problem spread throughout the US was successfully exported by the rest of the country to a few west coast cities.

> And that if we punish people more forcefully the problem will be resolved.

No, I don't think anyone is saying that. But adding housing isn't enough.

Homeless shelters successfully use inability to stop using drugs during length of stay as a predictor of violent, antisocial, and destructive behavior. You can't just place these people in housing units without a lot more scaffolding, support, and treatment.

"Housing first" works very well for 85%+ of homeless people, but treating this like it's one homogenous problem isn't going to be successful. If you try to just cram the rest into housing, they're going to still end up disrupting streets and causing property damage.

> protect our public spaces more vigerously.

Chasing the chronically homeless and ill from place to place isn't what I want. That game of musical chairs is what we do now.

Did you read the article? It seems like this model actually results in fewer patients behind sent into hospitalization (which actually is like an asylum).
> you must imagine that you will be subjected to asylums as they existed.

No you don't. Nobody is advocating for that. Nobody is saying we should follow the same broken standards that led to locking up people for protesting, or that we should allow abuse and rape.

Do you not think there is any middle ground between raping protestors and letting people with violent schizophrenia live in a tent on the street?
This article is about emergency care; it has nothing to do with long-term mental health facilities like asylums. Did you actually read it?

I think AI will be less like the Industrial Revolution and more like a country finding large oil reserves.

Countries with strong social institutions like Norway do an amazing job of distributing the gains from finding oil.

Countries with poor social institutions (basically all of the developing world) end up enriching a small minority with the oil money. Even Canada doesn’t do a very good job of improving the lives of its citizens with its oil money.

Given the way the Western world has been going in terms of wealth consolidation, I am not optimistic about broad segments of the population seeing the benefits of AI.

> True technical support can't be replaced yet, but thousands upon thousands of tier 1 human drones can be.

I disagree. Those agents are useless by design. They exist to do nothing in most cases, but none-the-less need to exist because of the regulatory + political + market backlash if they didn't.

Chatbots don't fulfill the core requirement of being able to tell regulators and juries that you did, in fact, have an employee look into the customer's issue.

Trackpads are horrible. Gives me way more strain than using a mouse, even though I have relatively small hands, I find the larger Logitech mice very comfortable in use. Currently using a MX Master 3, after switching from the original MX Master.

Before that I had frequently recurring tendonitis in my right index finger and various pains in my lower right arm. I still occasionally have issues, but nothing like when I used to use a trackpad.

I've never tried using an external trackpad. I suppose it could alleviate some of the issues, but I highly suspect my tendonitis would still come back.

On the one hand, crops under solar panels lets the land do double purpose, at least if the alternative as some sort of shade structure.

On the other hand, you've increased the cost of growing the crops, because you need to work around the solar panel structure (which is much beefier than an equivalent shade structure). You've also increased the cost of installing and maintaining the solar panels, because you need to do so at a reasonable height, without damaging the crops, at a relatively low density dictated by the crops.

If land is expensive this makes sense, if land is cheap this doesn't... I wonder how often it's actually worth it.
Yea open sourcing APFS drivers would be something actually useful
Egregoria used to be 2D but it felt a bit restrictive. A lot of the underlying simulation is also 2D as I didn't port everything when doing the migration.

From the player perspective, 3D is the norm these days. It looks better, it's usually more intuitive and 2D is usually a bunch of tricks to fake 3D anyway.

From a developer perspective, 3D fits my brain better as I can translate real concepts better. To me, it feels easier modelling in blender and apply physically based rendering rather than learning lots of 2D techniques to have a consistent good looking art style.
I just bought some snacks at an airport store that was “fully” self-directed—swipe your card, walk through the gate, grab your stuff, and walk out. Except it required _more_ human assistants than a typical airport convenience store in order to handle the volume of confused and suspicious shoppers. “Wait, how does this work?”, “How do I get a receipt?”, “How do I know it won’t over charge me?”, etc.
I noticed the same. But that's probably what you get for asking about plant growth on a physics forum... I'd have gone for the biology stackexchange, personally.
This seems to be the opposite of asylums - put people in temporary care, give them treatment beyond just sedation and anti-psychotics, help get them stabilized, put together a care plan, and then send them home or to the next stage of treatment.

one thing i remember pretty vividly about my grandfather is that he started to age in front of my eyes after he retired. It's ironic that people are almost encouraged to wind down at a point when they need an active life the most to fend off senescence.

i've been running a mesh since waste's release. yes, proper set up is a bit challenging but after that it's set and forget - as in it's never been down in all this time. flexible chat rooms, individuals or multitudes simultaneously. decentralized and encrypted of course with chaff no less and file transfers of any size can be especially fast. it's actually perfect for small groups. anything under fifty or so users and it's stable. certainly more stable than the community, which ebbs and flows.

Florida has laws on the books that let anyone go to a judge to get an order for forced treatment of someone else for claimed mental illness or addiction, like the Baker Act and the Marchman Act. With the Marchman Act, non-compliance with treatment can have legal consequences, as well.

From here[1]:

> What happens if the respondent isn’t compliant with the treatment order?

> It’s up to the judge but the idea is that non-compliance with a court order equates to contempt of court and is punishable by jail time. This is where the “teeth” or consequences are introduced for someone refusing to comply with the treatment plan. However, we have found that many counties do not enforce treatment orders with jail time.

Instead of getting the treatment they need, they end up tying up ER resources? Either because of continual crisis with no proper diagnosis, or just lack of health insurance to find/afford any other options
The real argumentation is the numbers. The claimant has to bring the data. So where's your data?
> The main problem is that no one knows how to measure it.

This is true for every single aspect of academia, even research. I don't think our metrics in research are good and that they are the reason we have the replication crisis. Metrics are always guides, having limitations and biases unique to each one. Over-reliance just results in Goodhart's Law, and instead of embracing the noise inherent to the system we have ill conceived attempts to remove it. Attempts to create meritocratic systems frequently result in less meritocratic systems than were being "improved" upon.
How do you know they're not just incompetent?
Do our “right to try” laws mean: only after you’ve gone through our $5m treatment plans?
Yes. Far fewer, and with lesser societal impact and harm, for which existing infrastructure would be more than enough.

Kind of how other first world countries (even nominally poorer ones) only have a tiny fraction of the problems with mentally-ill homelessness, crime, shootings, and so on.
> Freaking "unintended item in baggage area".

When that happens I usually just pick up my stuff and start over at another machine. It's usually faster than waiting for them to come over and enter their password. Sometimes by the time I'm done there are 3 machines "waiting for assistance". (I just hope their UX researchers are watching from a corner, but that's their problem.)

Self checkout is supposed to be faster than non-self checkout, if it doesn't meet that bar it is useless.
I'm impressed that the Craftsman brand, without any manufacturing capability since it was all outsourced, and its reputation falling due to lower quality tools and its association with dying Sears, still sold for nearly a billion dollars.
ER visits are inordinately costly, but are generally the only way for homeless people to receive care (behavioral, chronic health conditions, etc).

I'm having difficulty finding the source, but I've read that individual "frequent fliers" have consumed hundreds of thousands of dollars of emergency services without receiving substantive care that would improve their situation.
