We see this often with urbanist topics. New multifamily construction is gentrification and colonization if you lean left, full of crime and a threat to our schools if you lean right.

That's exactly why every other language took the wiser decision of actually having runtime errors.

To force you to pay attention to them before your application state went into an unknown configuration, thus making it nearly impossible to troubleshoot or even pretend to be deterministic.

I still have no idea how any programmer thinks this is OK. Nondeterminism and unknown/un-considered application state are literally the source of all bugs. I much prefer (and honestly believe it makes a ton more sense) to do what Erlang/Elixir does, which is to fail, log, and immediately restart the process (which only takes a few cycles due to the immutability-all-the-way-down design).

If you hit my Phoenix application with a million requests in 2 seconds and each throws a 500 error, my webserver will keep chugging along, while every other technology's webserver will quickly exhaust its pool of ready-to-go webserver processes and fall over like a nun on a bender.

just how miserable and even humiliating the pedestrian experience is here

I ended up talking to some woman yesterday who mentioned she loved to come back to Oakland because of how walkable it is compared where she is now in the central valley. I was amused at the whole exchange because while Oakland and San Francisco do a decent job, they're by no means great.

Cars parked in short driveways often extend all the way across the sidewalk.
Even if you can easily step off onto the road to walk around them (not all
pedestrians can), it just feels like a slap in the face to have to do that.

One of the big things I noticed when comparing the pedestrian experience in Manhattan (and to a lesser extent the outer boroughs) to San Francisco is that New York lacks the curb cuts that encourage this kind of behavior. You spend a lot less time walking around parked cars or having to keep an eye out for someone who's in a hurry to exit "their" driveway.

In San Francisco, at least, there's a big tug of war about where your driveway ends and the curb begins. Suffice to say blocking the curb is one of those things that's almost never enforced.

> If wind turbines were the number one bird killer

They are not.
For around a decade Arizona had license plates in the format AAA0000 that were being distributed in order, but some time before they finished the ones starting with C they switched to another system. That system had 7 alphanumeric characters in an apparently scrambled order but with an unusual high number of repeated characters. Now they've changed again to 6 scrambled alphanumerics.
No, they are not. You'll notice I said that scale feels like it's useful for beginning to calibrate your thoughts about how much mind can run on any given number of neurons.
Let's not pretend that in the end money doesn't dictate rules regardless of who's momentarily in the office.

> People care to such a small extent that most don’t even bother to vote.

That isn't supported by the facts:

> Approximately 240 million people were eligible to vote in the 2020 presidential election and roughly 66.1% of them submitted ballots, totaling about 158 million.

In any case, it's true that the US has lower levels of voter turnout than other Western democracies, but it's unclear how to partition the reasons (less engagement/less caring? less notion of civil duty? less ability to get to the polls, including unfriendly work laws and voter suppression?)

The bottom line is that "most" eligible voters in the US DO care about something... but I'd suggest that the problem is that people care way too much about specific things that don't matter very much. If all the calories go into the hot button issues, then everything else is starved of oxygen. Our problem is perhaps one of too much emotional engagement.
What happens next is they implement it, and then cancel the entire project by shutting it down because the manager that championed it moved to a different department/product.

when asked why would they shut down something they were fighting nail and tooth for, they would shrug and say it's not in the okr. (and gaslight everyone again, saying they never thought it was important to begin with)
Another interesting paragraph suggests this was designed to fail:

> The partners as well as the BMFT also had political motives connected with the project. Günther Klätte, management board member of RWE, stated during a general business meeting: "We require Growian [in the general sense of large wind turbines] as a proof of failure of concept", and he noted that "the Growian is a kind of pedagogical tool to convert the anti-nuclear energy crowd to the true faith".[6] A similar statement regarding the incurred financial burdens was reported of Minister of Finance and former Minister of Research Hans Matthöfer: "We know it won't do anything for us. But we do it to demonstrate to the wind energy advocates that it doesn't work."[6] After the Green Party had derided the installation as the electricity provider's "fig leaf" on the occasion of groundbreaking in May 1981, the RWE took internal measures to make sure that publicly a position of open-mindedness towards alternative energy production was emphasized while public interest in wind energy was allayed.
You just cited a chief complaint that people against a car dominated culture have about car culture as if they never thought of it, never thought of one of their own major arguments?
Lol if you take the number of annual gun deaths in the US each year, you arguably are still in a civil war. 40000+ of your own killed each year just from guns alone. You kill more of yourselves each year than was lost in the entire gulf War of 1990 to 91.
You should save your comment to read it back in 10 years.

Did You Ever Wonder
when you were younger

did you ever wonder

how much boot you would see licked
Here in Austin TX, Im told a pack of smokes at the local downtown corner mart (Royal Blue - well known for higher than necessary pricing) is nearing $20! Thats $1 per cigarette. Seems to me simple economics is coming around to address this problem. "Go ahead and keep smoking - smoke as much as you can afford!"

For the non-familiar its not uncommon to go through a pack per day between the ones you personally smoke and the ubiquitous people around too cheap to buy their own pack but happy to bum one or more of yours. So lets just say $20 x 6 days a week for $120/week. Thats about $480/month to continue being an active smoker. Take a years worth of that spending and you got yourself a pretty nice vacation.

Keep it fun, broaden their horizons so rather than just teach this is how you do x and how you do y, give them some examples of where they might expect to find x being used or where you might find y being used in real life so they having something relate to. Once you get past basic maths, a lot of it isn't instantly recognisable in the real world, partly because its behind closed office doors, so explain that some maths might be found in banking, some in mapping, some in hedge funds, physics, computer games, gambling, detective work etc etc.

Dont force anything because no one can predict the future and if things dont work out in the future, you dont want them looking back at this time as lost opportunities to have done other things, even socialising or learning something else, even though I doubt the demand for maths skills will ever die out apart from maybe WW3 breaking out.

This is not even particularly unique to manatees. It would be good if information like this was more widely circulated in basic biology classes to dismiss certain notions about what constitutes “natural” sexual behaviors and preferences.
Love it, 4 months into math for ML with a review of some earlier topics. It's actually almost entirely about practice in small chunks, which is different from many other services I've seen. (Means no sitting through longer videos / explanations) Basically it's what I would've really liked my school math to be. Each question is only a couple of minutes or so, so I really appreciate being able to do it here and there when possible, instead of having to dedicate full hours to the course. I've been following it being developed for years hoping to use it with my kid, but ended up using it myself first.

Costco isn't a grocery store, it's a retail bulk warehouse. Shopping daily at it makes little sense, nor does shopping daily at a small store for items at a higher price for most incomes. Good urban design would place it further away as it's a destination shopping trip intended less frequently. Public transportation would have more storage space for bags and either a public or store delivery service would get larger items home.

You should be hoping that Costco stays in business and large every day grocery stores (Kroger, Target Grocery, etc.) don't last.
Statista records a MySE turbine with 118m blades at 16MW nameplate.[1]

At 123m blade length, this should be maybe 1 MW more. Looks like the original article, which claims power for 36,000 "homes", is using roughly 1 home = 0.5kW. In the US it's more like 1 home = 2kW.
