Thanks - for the issues related to freeway interchanges and rivers, it would be most helpful to report these on GitHub using screenshots and links to lat/lon positions, or even links to OSM nodes and ways.

OSM is a freeform dataset and not a cartographic product, so most of the basemap work now and in the future is on getting good results of this transformation for 200+ countries. The mismatch vs. existing maps must exist because we need to ensure to downstream commercial users that all end products of the map generation are openly licensed - that's why this is being pursued as an independent, self-funded project with support from GitHub Sponsors: http://github.com/sponsors/protomaps
> They give me life, strength and purpose like nothing ever has.

Congratulations! You've discovered the meaning of life, ie reproduction.

It's so fulfilling because it's what you're programmed to do, as an organism.

Living things (as a group) exist only to reproduce, nothing else matters, and everything they do is geared to toward it. If an individual doesn't follow that goal, it is removed from the gene pool, and those that reproduce fill the vacuum.

Of course human vanity and ego will insist there is something higher (thus things like religion), but there isn't.

> There's a reason none of _those_ have been built either.

Let me introduce you to the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment[1].

What you probably meant is that none have been built commercially. That is true, but again as I mentioned, not because of their technical drawbacks but because of politics. In fact, the inventor of the light water reactor, Alvin Weinberg[2], was a strong proponent of the molten salt reactor over his own invention. So strong that he fired was from ORNL because he was claiming that light water reactors are inherently unsafe and that MSR is a better design.

Nixon ultimately sacked him because he (Nixon) chose to support LMFBR (Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor) because it was being built in California, and in return he got political support that he needed. MSR ultimately lost due to pork-barrelling.

> This is easy to bypass, put something over the plug that won't melt.

I mean you're shifting goalposts here. The "operator" has a specific meaning - someone controlling the reactor from the control room. They don't have access to the freeze plug during normal reactor operation.

But even if they did do what you're suggesting, the pressures inside the MSR are so low (on the order of couple of bars) that the damage would be quite limited.

>Now, however, Ostin’s earnings have dropped to around a third of when she first joined, and she struggles to hit the app’s bonus target of 20 jobs a day. Some days, all she gets are two gigs. She is not sure what happened, but suspects people are ordering less often, or there has been a change in LadyGrab’s algorithm. To make ends meet, she’s started taking extra gigs through ride-hailing app Gojek — which has less flexible policies for driver safety and opens her up to harassment yet again.

It's most likely due to poor economic conditions in 2023 in SE Asia. The economy has been hit hard there. There are likely many more laid-off factory workers who took up ride hailing which means the competition is stiffer.
For a large number of significant issues, the minority rule. This is how the political system is structured. Political & legal appointments are made to ensure that even when a party has minority voter support, it has functional control of the country. Businesses both influence and align with those in power for mutual benefit.
And what if I don't trust and don't want to rely on my citizenship government?

Being a Russian passport holder who lives abroad for years, I don't want to be in touch with my gov in any way possible, and moreover depend on it.

That's actually the case for millions of people from different countries with dictatorships, do you propose just to discriminate everyone outside of 20-30 countries with more or less democratic systems ? Those countries don't care about "citizen privacy".

Apart from that, we all see the bill in the UK which is as much a disaster to human freedoms as Russian and Chinese laws, for example. So even being a citizen of a more modern country is not a guarantee.

People don't always live in their country of citizenship, they don't always live in one place (see digital nomads) and have a residence, they don't always trust their government and they should not be discriminated on internet usage because of that. That makes a person more of a government property rather than a human being.

Nice point.

I just wonder why do people care about others' sex and marriage so much that they would put that in the very constitution. To me this sounds like a constitution amendment to introduce a dedicated paragraph to ban pineapple pizza. I just eat what I want, have sex with whom we mutually want and share my life with whom I trust, how is my personal choice relevant to anybody else? Okay, if they feel so disturbed they could issue a separate law banning anything but how is this so important they need to put it in the definition of a country?
I wonder if in coming years we will start to see growth for sake of growth model to fail. At least if interest rates stay high and there is need to refinance.

> It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it! — Upton Sinclair

Slightly OT, but it's counter-productive to start a blog / an article with a well known quote that's been used and re-used ad nauseam. It makes the reader suspicious that they're not going to read something truly original, and tells them the author may have a thing for authority.

I think it's best not to use quotes at all, but if you must, find quotes that are 1/ new and 2/ counter-intuitive, or at least funny.

The above quote, in addition to being famous, isn't counter-intuitive; it's an interesting reformulation of a simple observation: of course people don't usually saw off the branch they're sitting on, even if it means ignoring some facts.

> But compilers I am an expert in and what you're implying is impossible

Just tell Lisp which calls to statically resolve, inline, optimize. Overwrite the global default.

(defun foo (a)
(declare (inline +)
(optimize (speed 3))
(type (integer 0 100) a))
(* 10 (+ 3 a)))

Above tells Lisp to inline the + function, optimize for speed and declares the type of a to be an integer in the range 0 to 100.

* (disassemble #'foo)
; disassembly for FOO

As you can see in the machine code, Lisp then uses the native machine code ADD and MUL instructions.

"People" understand this just fine the problem is that the economy is structurally geared towards creating unicorn monstrosities that extract value rather than SMEs that create value.

If there were legal and regulatory pressure that crushed and broke down these behemoths (e.g. a FTC and judges that believed that predatory pricing was real and prosecuted accordingly) the VC model would break and this stuff would stop happening.

Ideally you would figure out the exact cost or price of things. Putting a widget in a box should cost x. Perhaps a an enlightening hypothetical would be to charge you for your hamburger based on the number of years the employee worked there. Everyone would be like: But last time I paid half that? Also, why did it take so long? If there is actual experience one should bother to measure it as well as productivity. Those who do gain experience are probably missing out if it is measured in years.

I guess one has to see enough really hard working highly educated intelligent young people in a place that also houses slacking geezers who managed to learn nothing over decades. They are basically sitting there waiting for others to earn their living. If it is a national thing you wont have the endless flow of new hires who cant wait to get the f out of there.

The phenomenon of Americans calling things like "working public transport" or "clean water" "communism" has led to a reaction where people who want all sorts of perfectly normal social-democrat things start labelling themselves as "communist" on the internet. It's very silly.

I've been reading for 10+ years and it seems to come in waves. Usually it clears up after a few posters push back. I rarely complain about it, but the past few months seemed to be especially high volume. I posted a few comments to signal that awareness. To me, that's participating in my community.

I've read the guidelines many times. The second paragraph seems to indicate this post would be off-topic.

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
That has become industry standard. Status pages are never "live".

It needs to be stressed that Firefox was getting direct support by Google at the time via patches, one reason that Google created Chrome was that Firefox took too long / was arbitrary about patches sent upstream.

This article doesn't seem to consider the role of natural selection on birthrate, but presumably this will act to arrest the decline eventually? Presuming individual desire to reproduce is variable and can be influenced by your genes, then individuals with a stronger desire to reproduce will be overrepresented in each new generation. Individuals for whom birth control is less effective, who stay fertile longer, etc. will presumably also be overrepresented. At some point I would expect this to lead to a return to growth.

Right now the moderators are prohibited by SE to remove AI-generated answers unless the users admit using AI themselves unprompted. You can see the policy here (https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/391626/historical-p...), and this policy is the main reason for the moderator strike.

Sadly, it's true for many products, but thankfully not all. How I interpret lagging status pages (I mean, this has been going on for 20+ minutes now) is that they are not capable of detecting outages, which really erodes my trust, especially in such a crucial tool. (I know that they do detect it in reality, I'm just stubborn :P)
Thus why one should rather prefer slow growth. Fast growth only means you’ll be more likely to reach the shitty state faster.

That's true. For cases when you want to start with a good set of libraries (json, csv, databases, HTTP client, CLI args, language extensions…), I am putting up this collection together: https://github.com/ciel-lang/CIEL/ It can be used as a normal Quicklisp library, or as a core image (it then starts up instantly) or as a binary.

It can run scripts nearly instantly too (so it isn't unlike Babashka). We are ironing out the details, not at v1.0 yet.

Also (second shameless plug) I should have illustrated this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBBS4FeY7XM

We run a long and intensive computation and, bad luck, we get an error in the last step. Instead of re-running everything again from zero, we get the interactive debugger, we go to the erroneous line, we compile the fixed function, we come back to the debugger, we choose a point on the stackframe to resume execution from (the last step), and we see our program pass. Hope this illustrates the feature well!

I love CL and I really miss it when i'm doing something else. I mean, many things are such a pain in 'modern' languages that it's not even funny, when you compare it to the Lisp experience of even decades ago.

There are many cons, but those are simply not as bad as most of the pure technical language/dev env cons in almost everything else. Sure Python & JS have more uptake, more libraries etc, but the experience of developing for them is so much worse. IMHO of course. I have been doing a lot of languages over the years including C#, TS, Py, Hs and more esoteric ones, but I keep coming back to CL (SBCL + emacs + Slime) when I get seriously angry about stuff that is missing or plainly bad in those languages. It makes me relaxed and convinced there is some good in the world after all.

I am currently raising for a product we (foolishly so) bootstrapped in Typescript but now we will, for a launch version, redo it in CL. Meaning I get to work with / in CL (and all of the fun stuff; implementing DSL, code generation, working with macros, implementing a static type solver etc) for the coming 3-5 years before we launch. Lovely.

Okay, Toyota has technically released EVs. Still a half assed effort, and I think still a fair criticism - I can't buy one, as they don't sell it in Australia, and they barely promote them. They're not behind EVs in any meaningful way.

I mean, the fact that I just bought an EV and have never even heard of any of Toyota's says something. No mention of them on their Australian website. Never heard of them on social media either, and I'm constantly watching videos about EVs.
