But where will they move to? We’ve put all our eggs in one basket, it’ll be a very long time before India can take China’s place.

I find it very strange there aren’t more people ringing the alarm bells about how we’ve positioned China to have the west by the short hairs.
That’s also WAY more than you need to farm - no household will eat even 10% of that total yield.
Check out project manifold, it’s a compiler plugin for Java. Among other amazing features it adds structural typing [1], which is essentially interfaces typescript interfaces.

Induced demand has been thoroughly debunked [1]. If you build a 20 lane no-stops highway from Fresno to Reno, you might see some use shift from other routes, but it does not spur a horde of people to buy cars so they can drive the route. It is just a convenient thought experiment to point at for people who don't want to invest in infrastructure to meet current demand.

You could make a genuine argument that demand should not exist because people should be taking busses, trains, submarines, or whatever. But continuing to kneecap public infrastructure only furthers the perception that trains might be a good idea, but will become unreliable and packed when NIMBYs decide to turn their attention to noise or whatever and demand we build less track.

I've been in the Bay Area 20 something years now and I have never seen 101 or 280 meaningfully expanded, so no we haven't actually tried it.

I'm a home gardener and find that estimate hilarious.

Even if you just grew potatoes you would likely be starving.
For counting chips, remember that each 74xx chip typically has multiple gates. For example, one of them has four AND gates, and another has six inverters.
Does that mean addition would look like

Uint32 a,b,c;
c = a.plus(b);

And this is why the human race only flourished after being able to have trade and a division of labor.
25,000kg (68kg/day) is a lot for a human to consume, that was just the scale given in the article.

Drop it by 2 orders of magnitude (10mx10m) and you are looking at 250kg /year. Which sounds like a reasonable amount both for a large garden and human consumption.
Until the actions are corrected, changes prevented, and someone takes accountability, this is just asking to stop criticizing them
That would be UBI and I’m all for it but then 70% of people wouldn’t work. If you argue otherwise you know you’re wrong. What would be amazing is if we find a way to make society still function that way.
As someone who has a backyard hobby garden, don't forget about failures.

This year something ate the leaves off all my cucumber plants and they stopped producing after about 3 weeks. In 6 or 7 years of having them, that has never happened before.

One year squirrels overran the neighborhood and did the same to tomatoes. (The little f-ers take one bite of a tomato and drop it. It's so frustrating.)

One year I had to go out of town unexpectedly for 2 weeks and we happened to have a dry few weeks. Most of my plants died or were in bad shape.

Just off the cuff, if I were planning to do this, I would personally immediately almost double the size of garden I was told I needed just because I expect there would be a lot of loss.
Can you point to a case that breaks both US and Chinese law? Otherwise, this conversation will be about vague generalizations.

The issue is that IP is a legal creation, so it can only be stolen if it is recognized in the first place. That said, it does not seem like differences in IP law are usually what people are referring to when talking about IP theft. That is why I brought up the WTO, which is a forum in which the US has sued China for encouraging IP theft--but most of these cases have not been won.
Has anything/anyone brought programming to the people? It’s not a mainstream thing.
And from thence comes the whole concept of "it's my job to produce way more X than I need to survive, and I will trade my surplus X for Y" where Y is something you also need to survive but didn't have time to do because of X.

It's way more efficient for everybody to divide labor this way than to have each household be its own independent and self-sustaining system.

Lean versus Coq: The cultural chasm (2020)
Hush has been around for quite a while and is open, at least.
I've been using Wayland for about 10 years now, mainly because of superior hi-DPI support. If you have multiple monitors with different scale factors, X11 is just awful. Not to mention I usually have laptops with not-quite-4k displays that need to be scaled 1.25x or 1.5x in order to look reasonable.

That kind of stuff basically all works fine on Windows, and yet a lot of core Linux desktop devs seem to have an ideological distaste for fractional scaling. Sway supports fractional scaling, but it's not recommended because "your display does not have fractional pixels". I realize that is literally true, but Windows and Mac support it and it looks good. Feels like Linux is full of this kind of stuff, and the result is the mess you see today. Sad part is that Windows is starting to degrade so bad that Linux is starting to look better just due to that. Hopefully Valve and friends can apply some competitive pressure on Windows, and in the process make Linux much nicer.
Just wait. The people who don't already support IPv6 can't really be influenced.

There are so many weird takes in this discussion. Obviously what you have said here is untrue, maybe it is your preference but of course it is not universal. Many people make eggs for breakfast and eat them with a single serving of cereal. I'm one of them.

There's very little difficulty in making eggs, two of them in a frying pan, wait, flip, done...

The other weird take was the people who kept saying "cereal" only refers to cereals that are high in sugar. The statement makes zero sense on its face, cereals with sugar are grammatically a subset of cereals...

Cereal in fact refers to a type of grass! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal But the topic here (literally in the headline) is breakfast cereals, some of those have added sugar, some of which don't.

No need to always be positive.

But it seems a lot of people don’t have the skill of channeling their disagreements into respectful reasoned language.

Also, if a forum is about X, there is some value in not engaging in habitual conflict on non-trivial side issues.

A free for all zone is fine, but then give the forum a name that reflects that.
Look, as long as we don't nuke it, we'll be okay!
Apparently they previously had a clause in their terms allowing you to keep using any previous version of the terms subject to certain restrictions, and also maintained a github repo tracking all changes to their terms. The clause was removed and the repo taken down some months/years prior to this change. Supposedly they were added in the first place after some similar drama whose details I missed. The issue at this point isn't "what are they going to do to address this", it's "what are they going to do to make sure that whatever they do to address this doesn't get undone the next time they're feeling greedy". I really don't see them having a good answer to that, and I don't think anybody should accept whatever feeble answer they do come up with.
It works sometimes, for some purposes. No one suggested that it should be taken to such extremes.

The community guidelines recommend reading comments in the best possible light, and to converse curiously. I believe that it would do you some good to read them.

The WTC towers were constructed to withstand a 1970s jet (707, DC-8, etc) that was on approach to JFK/LGA, hence at low speed and not full of fuel. This was not the scenario on 9/11.
A typical bus is apparently about 40 ft x 7.5 ft, giving a roof are of roughly 28 sq m.

Southern California gets roughly 5 kWh/sqm/day on average (though much less in the winter).

Electric school buses apparently have batteries of about 100-300 kWh, so a dollar panel on the roof could get a 5% charge on a good day.

That doesn't really make sense, when maintaining, cleaning, and setting up more efficient tracking solar on roofs (you need a huge parking lot for all those school buses afterall) or in solar farms would be easier, cheaper, and more efficient
I mean noise cancellation headphones filters out the trucks, pans, and dogs, but many don't filter human voice range. Also why it doesn't work in some offices.

If it's too quiet, you can play some form of music, water sounds, white noise, or a mix. There's some that add the hum of cafe voices too.
The defense against drone swarms and the like will be interesting. Warfare is looking more and more like Starcraft.
False; a lot of programmers were interested in the Mac. The Mac had a vibrant developer community for a long time, and the early Mac had a lot of developer tools. It started to die when Windows 3.1 made it viable to ship (ugly) graphical apps on PCs, and it really withered when Windows 95 came out and Apple management at the time basically shrugged. (Windows 95 sucked ass, but consumers were convinced it was a cheap Mac alternative.)
The precedent for this came from Nortel's bankruptcy where they sold IPs to Microsoft. Some tried to argue that Nortel should have given up the addresses for free but the court ruled that IPs are property.
Many advertisers seem to be using IP addresses to target users these days, especially when cookies are blocked.

iCloud Private Relay offers pretty much the same functionality, and in some ways, this is better than many single-hop commercial VPNs, where the VPN operator can trivially correlate ingress and egress data (if not account payment data as well).

I'll not comment on the irony of Google launching this particular proxy feature.
Absolutely not. Tor is chock full of stuff I don’t want to be associated with from spam to worse. Where possible you can block tor traffic, abuse management on tor is pitiful
In the list of ten breakfast cereals I posted, four of the first five have essentially zero sugar.

Consumer habits notwithstanding there are many low/no sugar breakfast cereals available at any supermarket, they are usually not the ones targeting kids with cartoon characters and zany names on the box.
I was looking for that and didn't find it on his page. Thanks.
MAC address is a hop-to-hop implementation detail and never transmitted to the IP layer.

Also, most devices implement MAC randomization these days, so tracking based on that is also moot.
That's great to see.

On a personal note, in the 90s, I used to judge the bus noise from a couple of streets away to know that I needed to bolt to the bus stop to catch my bus... Being electrical it will very silent :) Good luck!

How then does your gardener get his truck to your house? Your DoorDash driver? The elderly woman on a fixed income who needs to get to her doctors appointment?

Leap seconds and UTC vs UT1? Even in your use case, this would matter.

But yeah, I take your point.
> If you build a 20 lane no-stops highway from Fresno to Reno, you might see some use shift from other routes, but it does not spur a horde of people to buy cars so they can drive the route.

That’s misunderstanding the concept: in our hypothetical superhighway, it’s true that people who already lived on that route wouldn’t buy more cars to drive it but that was never the claim. What was claimed is what we saw throughout the 20th century: people would favor car commutes along that route because it’s faster so they could get more house for their budget by living further out of the cities. That’s fine at first but inevitably hits the spatial inefficiency of cars unless the local economy isn’t active enough, at which point you can’t afford road maintenance.

Yeah, it's not great. I'm kind of in the middle of this kind of thing at the moment, and explaining it all the way - from where I am, at least - would require suspension of disbelief at the sheer amount of waste that exists today.

AI's a perfect tool for generating a lot of the paperwork because the paperwork's just MIL-STD talky words in the first place. Unfortunately, 5% of it isn't, and that's kind of a problem, because like with civil engineering it's not fault tolerant at all. This is the part that's taking a lot of work right now, just the identification of critical bits.

To do so we need a complete transparency from industry CAD and MATLAB environments all the way down to how they pack up the mechanic toolbox and what sort of staff we got. The LLM training works hand in hand with simulation, see? It writes and tests in concert. But that's a tall order because, well, an awful lot of companies don't know how to make solid models right, or what they pack into the box doesn't have anything to do with the lists in their ERP, or they send out the janitor as a Level III Tech. This "universal simulation" thing all rides with the fashionable but reified ideal of "Digital Twin", which hopefully doesn't end up providing a real-world proof of Goodhart's Law.

As if you couldn't guess by now, I'm skeptical about this thing, but I'm also extremely hopeful. If there's one theme to my professional career, it's been to clear out as much meaningless crap from MIL-STD work as humanly possible. These LLM "AI" people are at least on the right side . . for now. They might eventually get co-opted into the big Goodhart Machine so that they can make powerpoints about powerpoints about powerpoints about powerpoints about . .
That seems indeed very likely, given that it's what Google is already doing for their VPN: https://one.google.com/about/vpn/howitworks

A proxy (i.e. the same approach Apple uses for iCloud Private Relay) would be much better, though since their VPN seems to be using a single, fairly static IPv6 address per user and connection, which allows trivial cross-site tracking of a given user.
Isn't that what the person said? The US and USSR were not exhausted. Germany and Japan were.
android didn't gain official mutliple on screen windows until relatively recently, and even so they're still only in some fixed sizes. It also helps that any changes are tied to released by one company (google), while the linux stack is made up of stuff by tons of differnet people with different moving parts, and then distributed at various versions by various people on various distributions at different release cadences. There's no one group controlling any of this

A sibling comment also mentioned hardware. There's certainly a lot less driver and hardware variance as well.

When it comes to chromeOS, I think they are switching to a wayland compositor, and it'll be a lot easier for them because there they control everything.
Users choose who to be their vpn. The same goes for if they want to enable this feature.
It's a speedrun to see who can make the cheapest, most effective laser systems. Once you have that, knocking drones out of the sky will be pretty straightforward.
This seems similar to Cloudflare + Apple partnership on Private Relay [0]; except the traffic first goes through Cloudflare before exiting via Apple / Akamai servers; whereas in Chrome's case, the first hop is Google themselves.

Apart from the all the QUIC vpn / proxy work Cloudflare et al (standardising Private Relay) are involved in [1][2], the OHAI working group [3] is closing in on its reviews too.

Interestingly, there is an active IETF draft for how such private proxies could be built: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iab-privacy-partition...

Interesting, does it go bad quickly?
Kurbiskernol is one of my favorite oils for special uses but it seems to spoil faster than some other oils. And I don't always travel somewhere I can pick up a good bottle. I suppose thinking of oils as more like a juice might be a good approach.
OFUG (Old Folks Unix Group) perhaps?
I mean, we have pretty overwhelming evidence that people will alter their travel behavior based on incentives and available capacity.

We add more lanes to a highway, and get induced demand with people choosing to drive more. Road diets restricting road capacity lead to reduced demand, with people driving less. There's a ton of research on both phenomena. When the 405 was closed for a weekend due to construction, Los Angeles was told to expect carmageddon. Public transit saw record-breaking ridership levels that weekend, and traffic across LA actually decreased as a result.

Drivers routinely change their driving route based on traffic congestion, and it's not uncommon to choose a slightly longer route to avoid being stuck in a traffic jam. Sitting in traffic feels more stressful, particularly on a highway where everything about the road design is telling your brain that you're supposed to be moving fast but aren't.

If we wanted to, we could build robust public transit systems that are more than capable of moving most people to where they need to go with minimal delay, convenience, and comfort and that a large percentage of the population would want to use.

Instead, most of North America has anemic bus systems that couldn't be more antagonistic towards their riders if they actively tried. A bus stop sign on the side of a four lane stroad that lacks sidewalks--the very thing that would enable people to safely access said bus stop--sends a pretty clear message to riders "we don't care about you, and if you die trying to board your bus, well, that's just how it is."

In any case, you're conflating the desire to move around with the desire to move around by car. They're not the same thing, even if seventy years of urban planning have assumed otherwise. Beyond that, we travel between places because we want to do something when we get to our destination. That's the goal, and the mode by which we travel there is simply a means to an end.
Made it way easier to generate the hundreds of lines of boilerplate crap you have to write with typescript backends
Solene's blog is great overall
Dates should be integer seconds since epoch. Timezones are essentially a UI concept.

The date value should always be stored and passed around as an int — and then only transformed into a user-readable string on the client-side at render-time, only when it's necessary for a human to read it. It's the job of frontend code to take in the date as input (still as an int), detect the reader's timezone, and render accordingly.

For some systems, you may want more precision, in which case millis (or nanos) are reasonable, as long as you choose a big enough int type to hold them.

Once humanity goes from 1 planets to N planets, the whole thing will become a mess again thanks to relativity, and software engineers of the future will have to deal with figuring out how to convert an Earth timestamp to a Martian timestamp — and what it even means for two timestamps to be "equal" then.

But that's next century's problem. ;)
That sounds like it could be fun! The multiple turn delay I used for this may help solve some of the problems of the pieces dying immediately at the start, and for the end game where too many deaths would cause the game to drag on. Births could probably have a smaller delay than deaths. I could see this make for interesting plays by opening holes in your opponent. There's also the choice of whether births/deaths take into account all neighbours or just your own pieces.
