I do 10km of cycling a day at a leisurely, sweat-free pace; it keeps me somewhat fit, but certainly not very fit. Admittedly I do benefit from the temperate climate of the UK.

IMHO anyone 5km from the office who's considering commuting by bike should give it a try - you certainly don't need lycra, a $1000 bike or Lance Armstrong levels of fitness.
A bit uncalled for. Nutritional quackery is everywhere.
Hello, I work in the games industry. You basically need some self-fulfillment to not burn out, be it in designing/implementing gameplay features, digging deep into some graphics/hardware level instructions to optimize, or simply working alongside non-programmers (artists, sound designers, VA's, writers, etc. Very diverse environment) to get something beyond a technical project finished.

How to cultivate that is pretty straightforward. I like games, and I can tolerate making games by leveraging my existing skills. I want to make my own games one day, but I need more financial stability for that. Of course, I can't say I feel as passionate about making someone else's game as I would my own, but industry gives me experience, lets me meet other kinds of talent, and lets me prepare savings for that day I try to do my own thing. That's how I keep motivation going.

Yup, that's a direct result of replacing engineering talent with mediocre MBAs and focusing on making games for shareholders instead of players. Story as old as capitalism
> today’s observable universe is roughly 13.8B years. By the time you travel to the edge of that universe, others stuff has travel from that edge to even further position at various speed including faster than you do.

This is true but it's not what astronomers mean when they say the universe may be infinite. They're talking about the whole universe, not the just the observable part, and they really do mean actually infinite in extent.

> before/at big bang universe is a single point.

Unlikely. We know that what is now the observable universe was very very very very very dense. Predictions of a literal singular point are the result of extrapolating past the point where we know for a fact that our best physical theories break down.
it was somewhat of a surprise for me, visiting europe after many years, how many people still smoke there compared to what i saw in asia and africa.
I just started commuting by bike 11km each direction two weeks ago. I was not sure if how it was going to be before starting, but it has worked out really well so far!

I cycle in exercise clothes just not to get my clothes dirty, but I dont really need to shower when getting into work (and i get like super sweaty when i work out).

I try to adjust my pace in order to not get to warm, but it still goes way faster than the alternatives. I ride straight past the car traffic which is stuck in traffic jam every morning, and the buses are stuck there as well.

It's also an amazing way to start the day!
It will truly be a dystopian day when a user can no longer ride a bike they bought because the software no longer allows it.

Parrot drones here are a nice example: users bought Parrot Bebop and Disco drones but as of a few months ago are now locked out of their devices because Parrot no longer supports these devices (in order to push their new Anafi drones).

Thankfully the open-source Ardupilot community has stepped in to take up the slack, but it's not enough. The Bebop in particular comes with a state of the art fish-eye lens camera with selective cropping for "virtual gimbal pivoting" and stereo-cropping for 3D mode. This functionality no longer exists. The camera does not work without the Parrot FreeFlightPro App, which is now dead.

I can similarly imagine a day when the "boost" function of these E-bikes no longer work because the App said no.
I stopped reading when I got to the agile part, which these days has just become a buzzword for dis-empowering employees and to move even more power towards the company.

You can have X daily backups in rotation and after X days of infiltration they're all garbage because they were overwritten by the malware-encrypted code.

A backup isn't real until you've restored from it. That's why you should restore from backups regularly. Firstly so that you know the process and see it actually works and secondly you can confirm you're actually backing up what you think you are backing up.

We've all set backup scripts and forgot to include new directories or files in the configuration as time went on... =)

Look at the clock "icon", it's squashed vertically.

If you apply 4:3 aspect ratio, it becomes round.

https://www.reddit.com/r/imageuploads/comments/15zxpka/windo...

Note that "icon" here is the minimised state of the window, and the clock application draws itself in that state with the same code as in the normal state, and so it utilises screen metrics, while other minimised applications just call default windows procedure which puts bitmaps on the screen.

Sendmail seems to be a weird state of limbo. On the one hand their homepage still lists Usenet as the place to go for support and questions. On the other hand their latest release is from June of the year.

I get the feeling that are maybe 5 huge sendmail users still out there somewhere that still pay for support contracts and that is just about enough to pay for someone to turn out regular updates. But beyond that they have reconciled themselves with the fact that they are never getting any new users.

Actually kinda yes, look at AMD’s 3d v cache. There’s a very recent review by the verge on an Asia laptop with the AMD chip, and it does hit like 600-700 fps. CPUs can absolutely make such a difference.

That would actually be slower than what you get from a JIT compiler.

I'll pass on Rickdate, this would require too much time to become swift in it and advantage is dubious. I prefer to learn something else.

However, it's interesting what you mention about considering going further... Are you using portable sundial? Time feeling more specious when counted differently? I can absolutely feel it may be that way. Sleeping polyphasic? The way we count time can absolutely impact all of that. Seems you live in different frames of reference (Sun, polyhphasic,...) Could you please tell some more?
It's a good thing there's so many old bike frames around still.

Having worked/volunteered at multiple bike co-ops, I have never and will never buy a new bike. Often perfectly good if cheapish frames will get scrapped because there's so many donations coming in that can't find buyers.

I ride hard and fast, and I don't get passed even by the MAMILs on their $9k S-works riding my $40 steel Univega SS conversion. You don't get much by trying to shortcut your way to a faster bike with money. It just takes time to git gud.

My own personal budget is never to spend more than $450 on a bike before repairs (which I mostly do myself, so the only remaining expense is (used) parts), and even then, I'm going to make sure it's steel alloy frame with great geometry, disc brakes, and at least 2x8 drivetrain. My craziest expense was a vintage Marin MTB (top of the line in its day) with some blown but nice shocks that was $300, but I had to send in the rear shock for a full rebuild so more like $425.

One of these days I may spring for a sweet, "well-loved" Rivendell frame or something similar. Planning on snapping up some kind of All-City soon since they recently announced they're discontinuing that brand and everyone seems to looove the Space Horse.

If you don't have the time to do all that research, there's quite a few online communities open to "is this a good deal" type posts who can help guide you to find a used bike that will work for your needs and inclinations.

(PS: I'm in the market for a 55-59cm high-perf steel road bike with Italian threaded BB! Octalink BB with Ultegra cranks burning a hole in my parts bin rn.)

I meant the compiler written in a lower level language that then binds to LLVM, as Rust is currently. Why would AOT be slower than JIT?
I think it's still has to do with social circle cliques and coolness factor from a young age and wanting to fit in.

I think a lot of people, non smokers mostly, don't see all the bonding, networking, flirting, and general socializing that happens when smokers get together for a fag, which probably explains why this unhealthy habit is still very popular today in many countries. I know many people who met their SOs at smoking breaks or found out about new yet unpublished job opportunities from the chit-chat that happens at smoking breaks.

Could be because it's seen as a socially acceptable addiction to have during daytime, granting you more breaks at work. If someone goes out every 45 minutes to play games on his phone he'll be seen as a lazy slacker, but if he were to go out for a smoke, it would be more likely to be allright, especially if his boss was also a smoker.

There's something about the smoking break gatherings, from a social aspect, like asking for a cigarette, asking for a light, cupping the flame against the wind for someone, which act like natural ice breakers, conversation starters and could help create instant bonds or chit-chat opportunities, that can't be replicated at other kind of gathering during the day such as water-cooler or standings in line.

It’s not a bad starting logic.

However, there is a thing called “defacing”. In the process, the attackers share false information implying that more damage was done than in reality.

My general rule is to stop trusting a compromised digital system until I hear from a person (journalist, in this case) confirming that the control over the system has been restored.

If journalists do not verify the facts themselves or via trusted (human) sources, it’s not journalism but syndication.

Realistically, the news was published yesterday and the notice is dated a week ago. I doubt that a company of IT experts would have failed to take a fake notice down. But I stand by my assessment of TechCrunch journalistic standards.
> but the rate of progression feels like they will soon

The rate of progression seems to be logarithmic - so we got "something looks plausible" but to get that last 10% it's probably going to cost more in HW than just using humans, unless there's some breakthroughs. Just like self driving cars.

My impressions at least looking at the developments from a sort of technical perspective - they are hitting all kinds of scaling problems - both in terms of data available, runtime complexity, hardware available, etc.

nVidia raking it in is a perfect example of how inefficient the whole thing is. Models seem to be doing fairly simple math computation (nowhere near the complexity of a general purpose GPU core required), things are limited by memory bandwidth and memory available. I'm sure a better hardware design specifically for transformer inference could make it cheaper and faster. But it seems like anything like that is years out for general market and nVidia is raking in on selling repurposed GPU architectures, and nobody else can even compete with that based on software stack alone.

People selling us on AI replacing software developers are getting fleeced for billions because they can't port their software stack to similar hardware from a different vendor...
I didn't look into what the labels actually mean, but if "excess fat" means more than 30% fat, that sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Your diet should avoid processed food that are mostly fat.

But in the end, I don't think these labels work by instantly educating individuals. It works by continuously reminding people that these foods are not healthy. Most will not stop eating them because of the labels, but many will probably give it at least a second though.
There's a lot more of it, and it's a big burden on small businesses, but it lacks the flamboyant craziness of the worst excesses of US regulation.

Also the EU does not regulate urban planning at all, that's all local.
So you think demand for AI driven software and tools is going to stop growing over the next few years? It’s a big call. I think it’s just the beginning personally but time will tell.
> environmental groups have already denounced the proclamation's potential to allow for high-rises in residential neighborhoods

That's not an "environmental group." They may call themselves that, but there's no need for journalists to credulously repeat it. There is no "environmental" argument for preventing new residential buildings, even tall ones, from being built in existing urban residential neighborhoods. To protect the environment this is even necessary. I hope there are some real environmental orgs in Hawaii fighting back against greenfield development by supporting urban infill.
The person you're responding to was specifically responding to your criticism that Rust does not provide a specification that implementations can target.

You're now listing languages, such as Python, that don't have a specification, so it is unclear what your criticism actually is.

By python's standards, Rust is very good: a lot fewer breaking changes (changes are tested against the entire, huge, open source ecosystem to check if they are breaking, I think this level of testing is unparalleled), the release and versioning process is extremely clear (one minor release every six weeks, patch releases to address unexpected regressions + security issues), and it also have a really well specified evolution process through the RFC process.

Derailleur gears require more maintenance, and are IMO not worth the effort for city cycling. Get a bike with a hub gear (Shimano Nexus 8, which is more efficient than Nexus 7 or 3). If the terrain is flat enough, you could even opt for single gear. If you get a belt drive (instead of a chain), practically the only remaining maintenance are tires and brake pads.

What did they fix (I read the article, but I'd like to hear your perspective)
My experience is different. Local people care about things like schools and traffic in a way that those outside the immediate area don’t. A local example: the state of NJ built a small bridge over a creek a few year back that now allows drivers going through the Holland Tunnel into NYC to use Jersey City as a shortcut when traffic on the highway is bad. Now you basically can’t go outside during rush hour. It’s terrible. Does anyone from the state care? No. Why would they?

A representative democracy is a foundation of our society. That means you get a say in decisions that affect you. If you take hyper-local decisions and remove all local agency, then that is effectively removing representation.
Thank you for the encouragement.

Yes, "sending the bill", this is an interesting thought. I'm going to require transportation to and from the meet point, if my coworker can pull this off on Friday. I do believe I'll send two taxi receipts to my employer, because this is the cost of them doing business.
I have the same impression. Reading the code, he uses global variables [1], obscure variable (k, bw, fw, x) and module names ("pal.py" instead of "palindromes.py"), doesn’t respect conventions about naming in general (uppercase arguments [2], which even the GitHub syntax highlighter is confused about). This feels like code you write for yourself to play with Python and don’t plan to read later.

Some parts of the code feel like what I would expect from a junior dev who started learning the language a couple weeks ago.

I don't know why this comment got downvoted, I find this to be an important discussion. The solution can't be to kill old people, or to reduce the population in any way, but to bring cost down on other fronts. The follow-up questions would read something like: How can we increase active life span on a population level? How do we tackle sicknesses of elderly people? How can we make health-care cheaper? ...

Starts off making an attempt but very quickly drops the thin guise of objectivity to reveal the author's position.

There are many things in this world that are 'dystopian', 'grotesque', 'revolting', and so on. Gambling. Gun ownership. The Korean obsession with shaving jawbones for beauty for example. Or skin bleaching, common throughout Asia. I don't see why this particular issue is special. This is consenting adults consenting to things, just like all of those things. This will advance medical science, that is, the practical application of surgery and the refinement of techniques and technology therein, whether we like it or not, just like R&D for war, pressure to miniaturize mobile phones and batteries, or Korean plastic surgery no doubt has.

Unlike those things, this is a niche issue. If we cut to volumes, the volumes of people likely to get hurt assuming a 100% failure rate here, are small. The numbers of people having SRS today are small. This is a sad, mean person. Not the author, now, no, we're talking you, submittor: Blenheim.

Pay Compliments
> If you want to beat obesity start by buying just the ingredients and then cooking meals at home. It's not that hard. Then start walking to places instead of taking the car. Taking public transportation is also good because it frequently forces you to walk a non-negligible amount. Also stop eating while watching TV. You can go one step further and throw out the TV altogether.

This all seems pretty strange and won't make you lose weight. What will is just eating fewer calories. That's it. You don't have to change anything at all if you don't want to. You can drive to the store, you can eat in front the TV, you can eat your hamburgers and drink coke. Just eat less of it, and you'll lose weight.

The idea that people have to be "educated" to know this is ludicrous, such a typical "government" / "expert" notion. Eat too much = get fat has been known and understood for centuries. People knew this when they were illiterate peasants. School children tease each other about this. The obesity problem is not caused by lack of education, it's caused by lack of self-control (exacerbated by the refinement of food composition, improved cost and convenience, and marketing).
