> Do they not have any purpose for their lives beyond consumption?

A lot of people have no purpose in their life beyond consumption. Truly, this is it.

If people put the tiniest fraction of work into their fitness, their personality, their intelligence or any other character-building activity or experience instead of working away to buy trinkets and tokens of vapid displays of wealth, we may actually get somewhere as a species.

Exercising is hard, as is resisting junk food, as is reading a book compared to watching TV, or throwing yourself into a new situation. It's so much easier to not do that stuff, sit in an office and collect a paycheck and redirect that money towards things we think make us better than each other.

Personally, I'm way more impressed with the people I know who run 100km+ a week, workout hard and study hard, than people who walk around wearing designer clothes or showing off the things they've bought. The latter sounds sort of pathetic.
Yeah they're actively working on it. Though apple car play is out and works!

If anyone knows android dev maybe you can checkout one of these smaller issues they're having.

In London what ends up happening is that many buildings are so large (e.g. St. George's Wharf[0]) that the household count restriction ends up with multiple codes being allocated.

IIRC the powering on by WiiMote is handled by the BT chipset which stays powered in all power states and in the normal standby mode wakes Starlet with dedicated GPIO line. Also, while the WiiMote is more or less an compliant BT HID peripheral with custom report protocol, the power button is handled in different somewhat weird proprietary way.

Another thing is that there are two different standby modes for wii once first booted (can be configured in settings), in one the Starlet is completely powered down (red LED) and in the other it stays on and runs scheduled tasks (orange LED). In early hardware revisions the fan is stopped in the orange mode, while in the later revisions it is temperature controlled (the first revisions will overheat and degrade/destroy the GPU if left in this standby mode for too long).

To be fair my reference browser is Firefox, WebGL is a fair bit slower there.

What blows my mind with this technology is little things: porting the game to the browser gave me a half-working mobile port basically for free (had to implement touch input handling in Neverball). On top of that, thanks to SDL2 and the game controller web API, I can attach a game controller to my phone and play the game in the browser on my phone with a game controller. It just seems unreal that this combination of technology just works.
Glad that someone else noticed that protobufs are very close to a carbon copy of ASN.1. If you don't have the .proto file you even see the .1.3.6.1.2.1 paths in protobuf files, just like you do without .mib files.

Even the integer encoding and tooling is very similar, just not quite identical.
Interesting! I've been making some scripts privately for specific tasks, like an Nvidia video card I wanted to buy. However many sites are really hostile to scraping these days. I'll give it a try,.

The operative word here is 'celebrities'. Normal rich people are unknown, and most of them aren't showy. They're just the ones quietly flying first-class instead of 'economy'.
It's not though, the rarer the edge cases are the more they trip you up. Like how UTF-16 is worse than UTF-8 because it's easier to be fooled into thinking it's a a fixed-width encoding, but it isn't.
What about Nimble Commander (https://magnumbytes.com)? I’ve been using it for years and it’s great. Did you try it and if so, how does it compare to Marta?
That may be as much about it being a monoculture of giant trees that don't have particularly interesting fruit for wildlife.

Plant a monoculture of non-native trees with attractive fruit and you'll get a ton of opportunistic wildlife.

Plant a mixed forest of non-native trees with a variety of fruit and habitats and you'll get a lot more wildlife.

Of course in areas that have badly depleted ecologies in the first place, planting native will be most likely to provide niches to the wildlife that is around, and the article is generally great advice. But it's too easy to forget that over time the ranges of species spreads significantly via seed dispersal (which can mean jumps of hundreds or even thousands of miles via the guts of birds).

"Native" for the US very specifically means "existed when western european settlers arrived and cataloged the local fauna".

I love AvE and somehow understand exactly what he's saying whilst simultaneously having no idea what he's saying half the time.

Does anyone know if this is some regional slang? Or is AvE just very unique in how he speaks?
More enjoyable? Conventional routes are rarely what I'd call enjoyable. Convenient, perhaps.

The argument is usually that you don't want a network round trip for interactivity. That's less true than it's usually presented, I think because most folks making that argument think the server is necessarily slow.
Deny ACLs have come in very handy when the file structure cannot be re-ordered, or you want to prevent a reg key from being changed, etc.

My daily bike wears out the chain and thus also external gears, in about 2 years. Short trip, but all weather conditions.

But just looking form the pictures it seems the walmart bikes also have shimano gears. Wonder why thread-OP things they are not replaceable.

Today I will get my internal gear with belt drive bike. Lets hope that last for a long time.
I agree, including other guided transit (trams, urban gondolas...) on the metro layer would greatly improve public transit routing.

But bus routes are a harder problem to integrate, especially in larger cities. In Paris, there are more than 200 bus routes (more than 1000 including the greater suburbs), map readability would take a probably big hit if they were displayed on the map, or at least it would require a lot of care to do it right. A some larger cities also have a night service for busses, with routes differing from the day busses, handling those properly is also an issue.
I own and have wired-in a number of 1930s and 1940s telephones (pulse dial still works in the UK). They are little more than ornaments now but they work.

One of them contains a mini 1960s hyper-local directory of exchanges (names and numbers) on a pull-out tray. You would lookup the exchange name, dial that, followed by the handful of digits required to reach the subscriber.
> 40 years

Sadly its almost 60 years :)

Education tendencies seem to be incredibly latent and they have huge inertia. For example in The Netherlands the amount of languages you speak used to be a measure for intelligence, so most schools teach 4 languages from the age of 12 (out of 9 subject 4 are languages). In the same time, languages are the easiest to test, and also the easiest to progress a mass of people. The easiest thing to test (and show improvement and etc) in the bloom pyramid is memory.

You surely have people trying their hardest, like Julius

Hah! Similar... I pulled all kinds of tricks to be able to do real time 3D in the 80's and 90's and I would have happily murdered for the kind of capabilities that you can now carry around in your pocket.

Depends on what you replace it with. For the majority of people less beef means more soy, more seed oils, or more chicken (the meat most easily modifiable by modern industrial techniques).

The consequence is low muscle mass and high body fat (skinny fat), chronic health issues and screwed up hormone profiles.
> by searching for their own Facebook page

At that point I'd rather open up Google and give them the data point that someone is interested in this store at this time (to make these crowdedness plots) than provide Facebook with my data ._.

If they have an own website, sure, but a Facebook page? I'm not whitelisting those IP addresses for my browser to be able to visit that.

This is why I always add the website as the most important field for a POI btw: easy to click through, always up-to-date opening hours. They're very often out of date on OSM because the shop owners only supply that info to google and call it good.

Surely you'd just want to be calling the internal API that the other endpoint is using behind the HTTP endpoint? If you're in the same process (big if, but nothing to suggest they aren't), there's not a lot of sense serialising out to a socket and back again rather than making a function call.

This seems to amount to:

1. They purportedly did a really shitty job of handling a report of CSAM 14 years ago.

2. They have the same problem with occasional abhorrent content every platform for user-submitted content has, except that they've taken stronger steps to reduce it by attempting to verify that everyone in uploaded content has consented to being in it.

Would we really call that 'pretty disgusting', if not for the consistent effort of conservative activists and thinkpiece journalists to frame the site in the most unfavourable terms possible?
Caltech is a very selective school, and I'd bet that the majority of applicants have taken the SAT or ACT. Lots of research has shown that standardized test scores, in addition to high school grades, predict college success better than high school GPA alone. It's strange to throw out relevant data when making an important decision, and that's why I think Caltech and other schools that are doing so are trying smuggle racial preferences (banned by a recent Supreme Court decision) into the admissions process.
Both are "things that young frustrated men do". Why only attribute the bad things to certain demographics?
And it's also valid for UK postcodes to be reused, e.g. following demolition of the original buildings, e.g. tower blocks, the postcode may be deactivated for a period of time, then reactivated when new buildings elsewhere need a new postcode.
They can't.

The ecosystem has too many dependencies that break at this point. Consider that Target.com, Walmart.com, Microsoft Teams, and untold masses of sites are React.

The huge component ecosystem.

Entire companies built around it.

The core concept is broken§, but fixing it means possibly breaking everything else. If you're going to break everything, might as well use something else.

All we can do is truck along at this point; stuck with React because of the mass of the dependencies.

§ React is the only library/framework that is opt-out of re-render while Vue, Solid, Preact, Svelte are all opt-in. This is one of the core reasons it's hard to do right and prone to a specific class of bugs that rarely -- if ever -- show up in other frameworks as you constantly have to be aware of opting out, even in what seems like normal JavaScript.

This thread however disappoints me.
The news of any producers potentially reducing their CO2 targets in any form is upsetting. However, painting them as bad guys vs good guys or using the tobacco industry analogy is too simplistic in my opinion.

I don't think this is fully wrong!

A lot of it is just that there's only so much free time, and those of us that really want to create MUDs wind up putting our time into that instead of playing as we find it more enjoyable and rewarding. In fact, for some it is a hobby in and of itself, ballooning into a passion project that may never see the light of day, like restoring a car you have no intention of ever driving.

People who are active in the "meta" community outside a specific game tend to want to create MUDs. It's like how there are billions of people playing board games, but if you join a board game community you are far more likely to find others who want to create them; it's self-selecting for more interest in the guts of the hobby.

The difference is that people merely somewhat interested in MUDs have dwindled over time, leaving the die-hards behind and a small, small sprinkling of new players just discovering them.

If there was a MUD that got all of the coders wanting to build their own MUD to go "this is incredible, let's just work on this instead, everyone we're moving house" -- I think people willing to do that join teams at extant games instead.

I still want some app that makes the awesome brouter algorithm usable on iOS. They have an android app which is "easy" to do since the routing module is written in Java, but alas, iOS doesn't support Java.

IMO, brouter generates the best routes for bicycling with lots of options to customize for what kind of riding you want to do (road, trekking, gravel, recreational, commuting, safe and quiet vs. quick, etc.).

Right now I use brouter-web on my iPhone but it's really hard to use since the UI is really small and it's very simple to accidentally place a waypoint.

Except that 1/2 of beef is consumed by a minority of boomer men according to this article. And they are eating this largely via burritos and burgers rather than steaks.

They don't sound like they are taking care of themselves already. Would increasing the prices reduce consumption or just mean they treat themselves more like crap?

Would increasing the price really impact them, or the other 88% of the population that consumes significantly less on average?
> The study, published in the journal Nutrients, analyzed data from the CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which tracked the meals of more than 10,000 adults over a 24-hour period.

12% of Americans ate half the beef on a single day. It is the unlikely that the 12% are the same people from day to day. You may have been one of the 12 percent when you went out for a steak dinner or especially if you visited a Brazilian all you can eat steakhouse.

This seems a very weak foundation to draw a lot of conclusions from.

Computer Programming with the Nim Programming Language: A Gentle Introduction
Um, the wiki is the single schema forced upon everyone: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org

Searching the schema works just fine, it's just hard to find typos and support natural language queries. Google set the standard for searching, we need to remember that we're literally comparing a volunteer project against the world leader in search who also has the money to employ a hundred distributed servers for every query versus the offline on-your-phone search of something like OsmAnd.

Borders is one of the few things that need to be different between countries (county, municipality, city group (Kreisstadt), city region (Städteregion), etc.: every country has a different hierarchy of subdivisions which OSM translates to numeric admin_level values). Some countries use the abbreviated street names like St. John St., others have the convention to expand Saint John Street. Different road types have different rules (is a tractor allowed on rural motorways? In Uganda maybe yes). These handful of things which you'll need to set per country are defined on the wiki, but 99% is the same. Particularly for searching where the name and POI tags like shop=x are the most relevant: after normalising the street name abbreviations, you're pretty much good.
I have no idea what your metric for "strangeness" is.

Using similar reasoning we can also assert that "The speed of light is objective" is not an objective claim.

And we can further assert that both the inner and outer statements are true without arriving at a contradiction.

It doesn't take a genius, merely a very thick skin and a grasp of contextuality, to hold this perfectly reasonable conclusion in a society dominated by naive understanding of non-contradiction.

Objectivity, being an unattainable philosophical ideal, it doesn't prevent us from using the term in more pragmatic/cultural/inter-subjective sense. A white lie - if you will - that only a determined pedant would scrutinize to such philosophical extent.

Just as well, such overt pedantry deserves mockery and contempt.
We are constantly bombarded with the idea that society is progressing - towards.. "something" - and change means "good", because "moving forward". Ergo, yesterday's things are inherently worse.

IMO I think that's at least part of the issue.

There's also the common notion that movement seems productive. If you are not moving, what are you doing? This effect happens on a lot of levels. Especially managers have to show they are moving needles. Any movement is better than no movement.
