> Hate to be a downer but I think this idea would be a fire hazard.

Which idea? What use and what capacity? The ideas in the article run a wide gamuth of different uses and proposed capacities.

You are right if they would stuff the staircase full of stuff and a crowd to achieve the same density as a normal shop that would be probably unsafe. But that is far from the only thing which is mentioned in the article.

One plan he mentions is a sort of meeting space where people pitch him while walking up the stairs. That would be what? No extra obstruction in the staircase and a max occupancy of 5? (How many people do you realistically want to pitch simultaneously?) There is nothing unsafe about that.

The other plan he mentions is to make the stairs his private office. I don’t see the floorplans but I don’t see why you couldn’t turn the space into an office with an occupancy limit of let’s say 3. Basically an overgrown garden shed. To do that you might need to do some construction work.

The very fact that he has a list of ideas going from hard to easy means to me that he is aware of the very constraint you are mentioning.

About his more ambitious ideas: if he has sense he should sit down with an engineer who is well versed in the local safety regulations. Clearly the more obstructions you design in to the space the more limit you need to put on capacity. You can also imagine putting limits on how high people can go. You don’t need to use all of the stairs. You can for example use ground floor and the first landing as popup store, second landing as “crew only” storage space and block of the rest of the stairs. How many people can you let in the building then? Once he knows the shape of the limits he can work within he can start thinking to find a program which can safely work within those limits.

Wow, this sounds so relatable. I went through most of what you describe, especially it being a mix of depression and anxiety disorder and not being able to identify anything I would enjoy, low energy, not feeling like starting or doing anything. Just wanting to disappear, and feel nothing. I felt loneliness was part of my problem too. The covid situation made me much more isolated than I was admitting at first.

I also found a lot of help in meditation and developing and practicing mindfulness. Recognising thoughts and emotions as they arise and to not identify with them was a big eye opener and relief. Just letting thoughts be or talking about it with someone when I noticed a pattern really helped. I think part of it was also processing some buried away issues.
Great project. Has a Vegas feel about it.
> dragging the text to a new tab to perform a web search

I had no idea that this worked. I don't "get" intentionally dragging if there's any alternative.

I feel like one of those people who tells people that frowning takes more muscles than smiling, but: dragging seems like it requires so many more muscles to be engaged than the keyboard shortcuts for copy/newtab/paste and then enter.

It used to be taught that the singular "they" was ungrammatical. (Ironically, the singular usage predates the plural.) The rule faded in other parts of the Anglosphere a bit earlier than in the US.

Ah ok, so I take it by coerced physically you mean coerced by a warrant/subpoena to physically unlock something?
Well I agree that it's not "theoretically" different from chaotic systems, that's why I said "practically". Practically, infinite precision doesn't exist.

Just saying. Doesn't really affect anything, though.
> We were lucky to grow up in an era where the online communities were nice and mostly welcoming places.

For real. It was a different time. Sure there were some assholes, but it seemed like a lot fewer. The tech was jankier then and you kinda needed help from others now and again, so it probably behooved you to not be a dick. That and the community was just smaller, and there were fewer of them, so burning a bridge didn’t mean there’d be another to replace it.

I would probably be doing something entirely different for a living if it weren’t for the late 90s BBS community.

Just works for me using open graphics drivers on linux, lots of different cards/displays/displayport revisions. HDMI tends to be weirder, at least on linux, with things like HDCP (EDONTCARE) and color space problems.
I don’t think so. There are only the above two options. The system mounts the volumes automatically after boot (so nothing needs to be user).
That bridge is really the worst implemented one. The middle layer on the imitation bridge also is filled in between the arches which IMO ruins the entire aqueduct look
One thing I like to think about, when we debate these "how could this be abused?" laws...is how many unrealised futures we've already missed, both good and bad, when enacting laws.

Eg if absolutely no one fought for net neutrality, would we be in a world where we're all comfortable with IPSs dropping traffic "they don't like". I do realise this example probably isn't far enough in the past to truly have had a cultural impact like this, but you get the point.

Wait times: https://youtu.be/kRhZdmtw3Wg?t=516

Somebody applying for PR on jan 1st 2009 (from india, for example), is just now able to receive their green card (in 2023). While the majority (~50%) of the wait is around 5-6 years, there's some 20-25% that have 10-19 years of wait times!

And because the quota system is nationality based, the more populous nations tend to have higher wait times.

Somewhat tangential: clicky switches, like Cherry Blues, tend to click twice for each stroke. I think this leads to people assuming there are twice as many strokes going on. Tactile switches tend to only click once (when they bottom out). So, fancy keyboards can make people sound faster than they are.

I don’t know. I’m assuming I should install jq (or see if I already have it?)

Here’s the problem I have: I don’t often have to format unformatted JSON, but when I do, it’s almost always an error message I’m trying to parse in order to track down a bug. So I tell myself “I should really figure out how to automate this…I know it’s obviously possible, but I just really wanna fix this bug right now, so I’ll do that later.”

And then the next time it happens, I curse myself for not having researched that, and promise to do it before the next time.

So I’m just happy that I stumbled across this page. Now I don’t have to remember to research it :)

You can have a 0-dimension point on the 2D space, a 1-dimension line on the 2D space, and a 2-dimension plane on the 2D space.

Do you live in a city? I’m in SF area and most single practice type clincs don’t seem to be taking new patients.

My options are to go to a private equity booster commercial building that houses tens of doctors, which is honestly feels like I’m going to a Walmart. It’s impersonal. They don’t give a shit about me. The staff is rude. Appointments are still hard to get.

Why deal with that? If this is the situation I’d rather deal with an automated but personalized system.

Actually I’m working on such a system. I hope it works out.

I’ve also dealt with a misdiagnosis as a kid that resulted in loss of full range motion. I can walk now but I’ve got hip and mild spine alignment issues. I’m salty about it. I’m not the only one to suffer something like that. It’s not fair either.

Sorry. Many issues. I’m not a fan of doctors or the medical field as it is today. They’re just men and they make mistakes. They need to be replaced with systems that are far more personal, accurate, and actually preventative. Something you can keep as your lifelong medical assistant.

There are a couple of groups that are archiving source code. Software Heritage for example continuously archives repos from GitHub and many other code hosting sites.

It isn’t just the more populated countries. It is any country with a lot of emigration to the USA proportional to their own population. So India, China, Philippines, Mexico. China is at 4 years, Mexico and the Philippines are at 1.25 year, India is at 14 years.

I agree it’s dumb and we shouldn’t do it that way, but India is a huge outlier under the current system.
I presume typing style matters aswell. How quickly you reach each key, rythm, how hard you tend to hit a specific key.

My sense is that they profile the person more than the keyboard.
If the printer supports IPP advertised via Bonjour (mDNS), with PDLs including PDF, then I think all that's missing is the Apple Raster (image/urf) PDL on the mDNS entry and the URF entry. The image/urf support doesn't have to be real, since it's proprietary CUPS on Linux won't support it but I haven't run into an issues yet, I think iOS uses it mostly as a marker and otherwise respects the pdl ordering. You might look at the Discovery app to see what the mDNS records its currently advertising are. The URF entry can encode a bunch of information (info here: https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSAirPrint), but I've gotten away with URF=DM3.

I believe many Bonjour printers are of the kind that you can create by plugging a USB printer into an Airport, and they require a driver on the client. Apple makes this pretty simple by automatically searching for the driver based on the usb_MFG and usb_MDL from the printer's IEEE 1284 Device ID. None of these drivers would work on iOS, given its a different OS on a different architecture. I think AirPrint was the first driverless printing standard, followed by the PWG standard, and since they used existing technologies I assume they wanted iPhone users to only see printers which would actually work.

Bonjour also supports PostScript printers, which would use a PPD file on the client to configure the UI options and generate a PostScript preamble (this also requires generating a PostScript file from a PDF on the client -- a somewhat expensive operation). I don't know much about this apart from the couple of times its mentioned in the spec: http://devimages.apple.com/opensource/BonjourPrinting.pdf.

The practical solution is to have your friend configure a print server and advertise AirPrint mDNS on their network -- besides printing from my own iPhone, having friends be able to print to my decades-old but mighty HP LaserJet just by hopping on WiFi has been great.

Life is sane. People are living longer than they ever did in history, most live better than kings of the past. Must of history lived in horrid conditions, so I don't think this outcome is all that bad.

Yet sane life here with flushable toilets, antibiotics, and global communications, is something we should avoid...

None of these can be had without the infrastructure we have built. None of the advances in the human collective knowledge could have happened. We know this because we can look back in history and see how long humans clanked rocks together and yelled at the sky above for rain.

Only a fool would suggest we should have avoided this outcome, all while typing on a keyboard connected to the most advanced thing humans had ever made.
I know nothing about this keyboard, but I'd assume it just has one solenoid because the expense and space of 100+ solenoids is impractical if all you're using them for is simulating the vibration/sound of a typewriter.

I appreciate why the bridges are (or were, as the case might be) fictional, but it also saddens me because of the implication that appreciating and respecting the people who came before you and exist around you is somehow offensive and wrong.

Turn it into a startup hotel.

I’d pay 2500 to 3500/mo to live in such a setup if I get a hotel room, and regular cleaning.

Was that what eventually became V-Twin, and then became Spotlight indexing? I vaguely remember that from the Cyberdog/OpenDoc days.

'cultural sovereignty' movements was once only a (much derided) concern of the French, but seem to be spreading to other more historically anglophone countries.

Still, for people who care about heterogeneity and diversity, this is a positive move

Very few people over say 40-45 year old are chipper and burst with energy and enthusiasm. On the contrary, most of them are in sort of "Aikido mode", when they try to deal with whatever threats and external demands come with minimum amount of energy expended. IMO, it's a combination of just having less energy at that age, and the acquired wisdom that most things that you could be doing, aren't really worth doing.
Don't underestimate the stresses, struggles, and conditions people are dealing with in life that make tasks difficult which may seem trivial to you.
