There is no way that a city could have enough bus stops and routes to service most sprawling American cities. This is especially true when you consider that a sizable portion of the population wouldn’t be caught dead on a bus. Building more routes and stops might work in dense cities but is not a one size fits all solution.

> “civilizational milestone” technologies

I don't want to start a flamewar or hair-splitting over this issue, but somehow, especially after the Bucha massacre, including the adjective “civilizational” in the context of Russia somehow doesn't feel right. Just “milestone technologies” sounds more apt.

Are we supposed to be upset by this? That we're all slaves to Big Font?

It happens that many of the free fonts are crap, and part of the reason Linux on the desktop never took hold was lack of good bundled fonts. As it turns out, good fonts cost money.

If you get CalDAV working, you will support a ton of non-gmail/outlook providers for 'free' including those that are self-hosted. For e.g. runbox, mailbox.org, mailo, etc. all provide caldav to their users - some of these also support exchange but in my 'research', caldav was universal.
I’d rather comment here. ;)

I hope they don’t plan to use the ham bands. They are jammed with traffic while the much bigger commercial shortwave bands next door are empty!

If they do allocate spectrum for fixed commercial use, I hope they allocate equally spaced bands (like hams use) so that you can send digital signals and not have to filter out the harmonics.
It's definitely a TIL moment for me, and a mind-blowing one at that.
I am not sure how it is a conflict. The HFT proposal doesn’t reallocate the amateur HF frequencies but uses other frequencies. They propose using really high power which could cause interference but interference is illegal.

I think the danger is that HFT will make HF bands valuable and there will be push to acquire the amateur bands.

This isn’t about leaking the source code. Secrets could leak through environment variables too.

It actually doesn’t matter how the server got a hold of the secret. If the value is in closure for some function the client has to execute (such as the component render function, or any client side effect etc), it will be sent to the client, silently. There are actually documented instances of this already happening.

And this is just one problem that was already discovered.

I find that my diet affects my sleep as much as anything. I eat lower carb (one carby meal a day allowed, others are "keto" style, I just never could give up carbs completely, I always ended up backsliding) and having a regular sleep schedule, 6-7 hours a night is fine. If I'm just "eating whatever" (and I love carbs and junk food) I'd have to sleep 9-10 hours or I would be a wreck the next day. One thing I have always been blessed with was being able to go to sleep though, only the most stressful times in my life have I ever had insomnia.

> And if it's just a web site, why do you need to "install" it? A link is surely sufficient?

The point is that there are apps that can pretty much be built entirely using web technologies as PWAs, but in doing so they are no longer "just web sites" and they need functionality of installed apps, like notifications. For example, most banking apps on Android could be entirely rewritten as PWAs, but they'd need to make use of things like notifications (I don't want a random website sending me notifications, but I DO want notifications of activity on my bank account) and camera APIs (e.g. for mobile check deposit).

Another interesting wikipedia page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus ...which discusses other methods that might be useful in different situations. It seems more focused on getting a larger consensus than just the majority, refining proposals until more people agree, as opposed to coming to a majority decision with efficiency; and it might be suited to larger, even outdoor groups.

Yet another approach is that used by councils in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which work well in a setting of unity and general agreement on goals, beliefs, and principles: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-han...

If you choose to fight with me, I fight with you. You dig your only grave. You just jump out and admitted that you are the problematic human teacher that causing social problems.

I do my homework when I feel like I need them. Accessibility to the solutions is a problem. Learning though examples is another prominent way that you don't see. People can choose to investigate into the problem right now or absorb knowledge then think about stuffs. I have 80 years in my life expectancy to do exercise and indeed solving problems everyday is that. What is the point of "figure it out yourself" about some useless math at the moment when people have their whole life to think about it? People know nothing because you never tell anything.

There are plenty of good free fonts.

What was part of the problem was patent-encumbered rendering engines for a long time.

Fonts weren't what held the desktop back, what held it back was that it just didn't have the resources that commercial enterprises were and are able to pour into their own efforts.

With commercial, you have a manager in the boardroom that says here are the whiteboards of how it should look, now go make it and have it done by next week so marketing can tell everyone this is what they wanted. With open, you have a bunch of introverts who have to agree to talk to each other and not hate the other guy's idea too much.

It was 20 years ago, I tried running GIMP over remote X on a 100base-T LAN. It was pretty much un-useable. Granted modern day Gigabit networks might have made it more palatable, but I suspect with all the modern UI toolkit assumptions about the X server being on the same machine, the end result is that it will still be worse than an optimized VNC.

As a comparison, windows remote desktop on the same network was pretty snappy at the time.

If by "an API" you mean "JSON sent over the network" then I don't really see too much of an advantage in:

over

Yeah.

Although I think part of the problem is just how much of a nightmare Fontconfig is. I dealt with fonts on Windows and macOS, and there were a ton of hoops you have to jump through if you want tight control over how you display text on-screen. But Linux was in a whole other realm altogether—you used Fontconfig to select your font, and Fontconfig is truly, truly awful.

Yeah, I know what its capabilities are. But the best software which uses fonts on Linux tends to do so bypassing Fontconfig.

It was slow, slow, slow getting good font rendering on Linux.

> This is why I prefer anonymity for my online activities.

Thats funny because this is why I think I’m starting to prefer using my real identity.

When you use your real identity you behave in a way that you will stand behind. Anonymity goads you into acting in a way that you might feel embarrassed about or regret. And given that you are a real person posting online, there is always a chance you lose anonymity.

It’s complicated though. Anonymity to bypass authoritarianism is obviously good. More ideally speeking, we just have stronger free speech values across society so people don’t feel like they need to hide and discourse, think, etc in secrecy.
I wonder what the issue is at play here. HN if full of off-topic comments; I'd venture to say under most articles the number of off-topic comments is higher than the ones strictly on topic. And most people are fine with it and go with the flow, developing the discussion threads. It is quite rare to hear someone "don't talk about this here." Ever in the case of crypto people just downvote the (lets call them) "web3 evangelists" or reply why they disagree, but it's rare to see the "don't discuss it here" statement. Unless, well, it's dang because someone started a flamewar. So I'm wondering why you feel this way about people being happy to have achieved a small but important personal victory.

The car does not have to defend itself from projectiles but from decelaration. The human body can whitstand certain forces until things start to break. That's why the cars are bigger.

Reforestation and aforrestation are fraught. See

https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/08/study-carbon-offsets...

and

https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2023/abandon-id...

The basic problem is that if take a flight that last 12 hours, somebody has to maintain an area in forest for 10,000 years and there is no amount of money that is fair compensation for that. There was the case of a nature preserve in Pennsylvania that got carbon credits although they already had a conservation easement and that is in an honest part of the world, go South and you will face tropical gangsters: on the web site mongabay the most common story seems to be some people in Indonesia cut a forest that they weren't supposed to cut down and the government did nothing about it.

On top of that there are places where forests aren't really the climax ecosystem and planting trees could do more harm than good.

Protecting the Amazon rainforest, for instance, is a goal that is worthy in an d of itself and it has a complex relationship with the ecosystem that is to the southwest of itself as the line between those areas seems likely to shift north because of nonlocal effects.

A carbon offset based on DAC is entirely different, here you take a 12 hour flight and over the course of 12 hours they can measure a certain amount of CO2 going into the ground the same way the gas company can measure gas going into you house -- there still are questions of whether or not the CO2 will really stay underground for 10,000 but it is not like "nature based" solutions where the answer is just plain "no".

I am all for nuclear, if you look at what I post you can see I am a fan. At best it is the thin edge of a long wedge as the only country that can build nuclear reactors on an n-th of a kind basis is Russia and they are doing the best they can with the war in Ukraine to kill off that business. You can't blame the failed project in South Carolina or the late project in Georgia on anti-nuclear actvists but rather in difficulties building the first AP1000 reactors. Somehow we have to get to the place where we promise to build one in three years and maybe build it three and half and not nine.
