I don’t think people are proposing to ban parking. I think the idea is to just stop having the government mandate that it be given away for “free”. People can figure out how much parking to build and how much to charge for it without the government’s help.

> Just this summer I saw attractive new apartment complex being built that I was going to buy an apartment from - until I saw that their parking structure doesn't have enough parking spaces for every apartment.

This framing makes it sound like it’s a bad thing for you to have the choice of whether or not you want to pay for parking. Under the system where everyone gets a “free” parking space, you are still paying for it. It increases the cost of the housing because less housing can be built in the same space. Why should your neighbors that don’t drive a car pay for your parking space?
> I have swapped Caps Lock and Escape on my Linux personal laptop and I have grown used to it.

I'd also suggest "home row modifier keys" (or "home row mods").

The idea is to have the key behave the same when tapped, but differently if held. (e.g. https://github.com/evilC/TapHoldManager implements this for AHK)

With home row modifiers, Shift/Ctrl/Win/Alt are put underneath fdsa (and jkl;). -- This reduces the need to use pinky fingers for these keys, & the fingers get to remain on home row more.
1/ both shorting and arbitrage can and will happen as soon as you let people more or less freely buy and sell things

2/ people do it for their own (expected) personal profit

3/ at the market level, these transactions contribute to price discovery

You could imagine banning currency arbitrage, but then you’d have to at the same time enforce somehow consistent prices on all markets (I.e. literally do the same thing as arbitragers do)

While taking responsibility for yourself is important, I think there still needs to be a discussion in society about addicting habits. There is a reason why many substances are forbidden, why alcohol and tobacco are not sold to kids, and why gambling is regulated.

Sure, regulations change (like the push for legalizing marijuana), but I doubt anyone is seriously advocating to make everything addictive completely freely available.

That only applies if the clocks are within 1ms of each other, so around 100 miles (or equivalently: within a single cloud region), and only came in to force in 2014.

The bound that Spanner-likes keep is ~3ms for datacenters across continents, and that was in 2012.

> I feel like this anti car sentiment comes from people who already don't have access to a car and have already molded

Just to tell you that is wrong: Have a car here, could have access to two or more, but regret having bought it every day now as we rarely need it (most is walkable, bicycling increases radius, and for the rest public transport or car sharing easily would do, better for the planet and the wasted space to just do the unimaginable and get rid of it.

The felt anti car sentiment that you have I think is also exaggerated, and more because for you it cannot be right what's wrong and unthinkable. Also there are certainly use cases for cars, but we (collectively) have overblown it as many things..

Have you read Judea Pearl's paper on Theoretical Bounds on the Complexity of Inexact Computations? It's an old paper from 1976. The abstract is as follows:

Abstract-This paper considers the reduction in algorithmic complexity that can be achieved by permitting approximate answers to computational problems. It is shown that Shannon’s rate-distortion function could, under quite general conditions, provide lower bounds on the mean complexity of inexact computations. As practical examples of this approach, we show that partial sorting of N items, insisting on matching any non zero fraction of the terms with their correct successors, requires 0 (N log N) comparisons. On the other hand, partial sorting in linear time is feasible (and necessary) if one permits any finite fraction of pairs to remain out of order. It is also shown that any error tolerance below 50 percent can neither reduce the state complexity of binary N-sequences from the zero-error value of O(N) nor reduce the combinational complexity of N-variable Boolean functions from the zero-error level of 0(2N/N).
I built an open-source bundle monitoring tool
An open-source performance monitoring and limiting tool.

in-it allows:

* Tracking of bundle sizes over time

* Bundle analyzing (both local and production)

* Diff bundle analyzing (commits and PRs)

* Setting limits for bundle sizes and for modules

For now available for NextJs and clean Webpack integrations but soon be available for Vite and Rollup as well.

I'm eager to hear your feedback and thoughts on in-it. Give it a try and let's build better user experiences!

But this is perfect. A complete reversion of the reaction, without any additional interesting inputs or intermediate stages.

You can imagine a closed-cycle, isolated "battety" that discharges into sparkling water, and charges back into fuel and oxygen.

This is exactly the miracle solution that can turn CO₂ back into fuel, which can be burned again in existing ICEs and gas turbines, then turned into fuel again, powered by solar electricity.

Collecting and concentrating the CO₂ is going to be a task in itself, but things like power plants or steelmaking furnaces offer high-concentration, pre-heated CO₂.
Reality has a liberal bias is just another way to say "regression to the mean". The majority of people think this way. Reality has a centrist (geometric mean) tendency because that is its center of mass.

Perhaps you need a (e-)bike. Instead of taking 15min, you'd take 30min at city speeds.

But actually, if cars disappeared, people would have an incentive to work closer to where they live.

Does it really require an explanation? All you have to do is observe that literally everyone besides a few free software zealots use "non-free" operating systems. What company is developing consumer linux computers for retail sale? If someone even wanted to buy one they would have to really look. There are many unknowns about what programs will run on linux. Will a buyer encounter a situation where they are literally blocked from doing what they need to do because they are using a fringe operating system? There are a million services that have integrations into these operating systems that would go out the window with linux. And this doesn't even begin touch the entire ecosystem of enterprise device management. But yeah maybe it's the UX. Just a couple more polished features in GNOME and then Walmart will roll out an entire fleet of new linux computers for their financial department! And grandma will finally switch over to that sweet FOSS laptop! And genz will drop their nice macbook pros and get on a nice fedora laptop! Just one more UX release.

AutoHotKey is amazing!

I've written more then 5000loc long program that plays an MMO for me!

It can already do most of the content that's in the game, but there still a lot of improvement needed.

But the development was so fun, every night I would start the script and then when I woke wake up, I would see where it broke and could then try to fix it and test it again the next night (because a lot of in-game content rests daily).

When I started writing the program, I was looking around to see if there's a library for Rust that would give me the same or at least similar functionality, but sadly I didn't find anything.

Don't get me wrong AHK is amazing, I just wanted to use the coding of this program as a way to better learn Rust!

I even had the program write a CSV file so that I could track the effectiveness of farming.

It really is incredible how powerful and easy to use AutoHotKey is!

I don't know how to say this constructively, but this post reads like it is written with a deep smugness. It feels very "ego-y". It feels like the author has glommed onto a real concept (denying the ego) but instead used it to get out of the competitive marketplace of social media, and instead take it to their blog where the competition is invisible and lesser. It even basically finishes with "tune in later to keep in touch with my journey of mastering what all you plebs struggle with and can't see."

Just how it feels to me, anyway. It's very overwrought.

I guess “studying” would be a good word: it's close enough to “reading”, while also having an educational connotation and no expectation of being a linear process.

Books are not scrolls.
Scrolls must be read like the Torah from one end to the other.

AHK is one of the apps which locks me into using Windows. I use it to add characters like äöüß and áóúñ to my keyboard, to control the light level in the room and apartment, add timestamps like `08:39 –`, `2023-08-22 08:39:46` or 2023-08-22 — Tuesday` with the press of one/two buttons, shut down/turn on the power to my monitors with a Tasmota enabled power outlet when toggling the pause key and some other stuff.

I only wish it had the capability to use a second keyboard as a button surface to trigger stuff while eating up those key presses, so I'm resorting to a small bluetooth keyboard connected to a raspberry pi zero in order to get more buttons.

Yes, as I have always stated life is about sacrifices and paying way more for smaller apartment in a city lets you not have a car, but for many people paying thousands for rent is either completely out of budget or just ridiculous.

The odds don’t “sound equal”. According to you, they are equal (2/3).

Saying

“before opening the email I think the probability that you have one boy and one girl is 1/2 but one of two things will happen, I either find that you have at least one boy and I will conclude that the probability that you have one boy and one girl is 2/3, or I will find that you have at least one girl and I will reach the same conclusion”

is like saying

“under this cup there is either a dime or a quarter, it’s a dime the probability of heads is 1/2 and if it’s a quarter the probability of heads is also 1/2”

and claiming that the probability of heads before I tell you whether it’s a dime or a quarter is something other than 1/2 and changes always to 1/2 when I let you know what it is.

I understand the Monty Hall problem. I also understand this one.

I wrote a detailed solution here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37206445 making clear the additional assumptions needed to make the solution of original problem 1/3.

With those assumptions the probability that there are a boy and a girl are 2/3 if I tell you that there is at least a boy and 0 if I tell you that there is at least a girl. The probability that the email says that I have at least a boy are 3/4 (I would only say that I have a girl if I didn’t have any boys). You can calculate the probability that I have one boy and one girl before opening the email as 3/4 * 2/3 + 1/4 * 0 and it equals 1/2 as it should.

The history of Luxembourg is an interesting microcosm of how the fortunes of states and dynasties have ebbed and flowed in Europe over the past thousand years.

There was a time when the House of Luxembourg was the main rival to the Habsburgs for control of central Europe, contributing four Holy Roman Emperors:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Luxemburg

The dukes of this area used to be so important to European politics that Henry VIII of England married a Dutch duke's daughter for political reasons (and immediately regretted it of course, as he was wont to do).

The area of the Duchy used to be several times larger, but over centuries it was nibbled away by France, Prussia, and finally the creation of Belgium.

It has been under Spanish rule (those Habsburgs again), then invaded by the French revolutionary republic and annexed into France as a department simply called Forêts (Forests) because the revolutionaries didn't want to keep any names that honored the old nobility. After Napoleon's defeat the Congress of Vienna aimed to restore old borders and reinstate monarchies, but with multiple claims on Luxembourg, it was split and became a grand duchy whose head of state was the King of Netherlands.

It became an independent country in 1890 when the Dutch king died without a male heir. Dutch law allowed the throne to pass to a female child, but the Grand Duchy was under different laws and was inherited by a claimant rather than the new Dutch queen. (Monarchy is pretty weird in practice.)

Any advice how to approach this?
Burning the propane takes you back to CO2, which you then turn back into propane again and repeat? If your napkin maths is correct, and the process is net energy positive, doesn't this violate the principle of conservation of energy?

It must take at least as much energy to turn carbon dioxide into propane as you generate when you burn that propane to generate carbon dioxide.
For such simple and repetitive tasks I would suggest giving TinyTasks a try (https://www.tinytask.net/). There's no coding, you just press record do what ever needs to be done, stop recording, select how many times to repeat and play!
> I agree that it would be interesting to learn what non-strong monads look like.

A monad is strong if:

- its underlying functor is strong

- the strength commutes with the monad unit `return :: a -> m a`, i.e. `return (x,y) === strength x (return y)`

- the strength commutes with the monad multiplication `join :: m (m a) -> m a`, i.e. `strength x (join mmy) === join (map strength (strength x mmy))`

So a non-strong monad is one for which at least one of these conditions is false.

Non-strong functors are easy to find examples of: take any container type with multiple "slots" (e.g. lists, arrays, n>1-tuples) and put it in a language with linear types. You can't implement `strength` for these types because you can't necessarily copy the `x` value.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any non-contrived way to violate the latter two conditions without also breaking the monad laws or the requirements of a monoidal product, but presumably they're out there.
