Here is a simple write up from someone else, with links to some relevant research about the carbon footprint of high density housing.
https://humantransit.org/2010/03/does-highdensity-life-have-...

Specifically for housing in America, though, more houses don't lower the price. That's because the more housing is owned by an individual builder the more they control appraisal comps. Why do you think they have so much marketing to try to convince you that it's good for the environment?
They are able to get zoning exceptions to build high density, high priced living. Pick any skyscraper residence in America. Nearly all, if not all, are far more expensive than surrounding suburbs.
I wonder how many images from Street View it has been trained on.

I've seen top Geoguessr players be able to pretty consistently determine a location worldwide after seeing a photo for just one second. So I would assume training an LLM to do the same would definitely be doable.
Yes to this chain. Noticing this absurd lack of machine safety and doing something about it would have helped everyone. And the government reaction to the whole thing was equally absurd.
A long time ago at work, I was given a Logitech K750. It is powered by solar cells which charge an internal battery. It works so well, I don't understand why there aren't more solar powered keyboards.

I ended up buying the same keyboard for home and I really enjoy typing on it. My only complaint is that it's difficult to remove the keycaps for cleaning and some dust somehow got inside and I can see it on the little solar panels.

Typing preferences are very subjective, but I've grown to really enjoy working on this keyboard. I've used it so much that the texture has pretty much worn off of most of the keys and I'm starting to lose the printed letters on the key caps. I've thought about buying a few replacements and storing them because no product is sold forever...

Less ergonomic for people that don't do a lot of number entry - I'm a dev, not an accountant, I never used the number entry when I had it.

The MS Sculpt (in the article) comes with a number pad as well, I've had it for years and left the number pad in the drawer.
If you look inside police departments, courtrooms, etc, you'll find a lot of AI in the US. That includes monitoring. Cities like NYC are under constant surveillance on the street, below the street and in the air. Even outside of the cities, Ring, for example, partners with police departments to deploy Ring cameras that they can access from people's doors.

And that's just surface level government usage. Go on, in, or near any of the "elite's" assets, and you will be recorded and analyzed from a dozen angles, whether those assets are physical or digital.

The monitoring infrastructure might be largely built and/or deployed by private companies, but those companies know who their paying customers are: entities that are governmental, non-governmental and entities that blur the lines, that want to monitor and police citizens.

I am wielding a ROG Falchion Green Cherry MX Gaming Keyboard. Is a backlit keyboard with good feedback and sound. But there is a hollow sound to the keys that is not ideal.
My favorite keyboard I cannot use because is not backlit.

The keys are so smooth to the touch and there is a slight high pitch to the keys action sound. Very solid action. My precious.
I love it. I cannot use it in the dark. It is a discontinued model. :(
Distance to mouse means I either have to stretch my arm in long-term unhealthy positions leading to shoulder, neck, and upper back pain, or offset the keyboard and have the non-keypad not front and center.

Typing numbers on a single row is not an issue for me, so numpad brings me little benefits and significant drawbacks.
There's no good reason to limit yourself to an X220 in favor of an X230.

The X230 is practically identical physically, and can have the X220 keyboard swapped in.

But in the X230 you get a newer gen SoC and the iGPU is vulkan-capable.
I thought it was “just go into the trades”.
Maybe Apple should consider dev editions for MacOS that allows more customization during setup. MacOS is still heavily used by web and mobile developers, so I'm sure this would be received well.

I do end up removing many of the Apple apps, but recently started using Safari, Notes, and Reminders more. Apple does an excellent job making their apps work seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem.

> In practice he got the permission to modify their copy.

I wouldn’t consider it common property if permission is required. It seems like our definitions of common property differ, but I’m not sure there’s any value in trying to align ourselves on this.

> No, definitely not. They got a "reported-by" tag, which means "somebody told me that something is not working, so I did all the work to find why, did all the work to solve, did all the work to implement, did all the work to commit."

Got it. Yeah I agree this is not the same. However, I still stand by my original stance which is that no one is owed anything, especially when they do something no one asked them to do.
No vanity email perk? :(
I'm glad we have both Homebrew as well as MacPorts. It's like having options to choose a bleeding-edge or stable distro. I prefer the former (as a dev, who often wants to use reasonably new features and libraries - and honestly despite keeping up in versions I can count the breakage to my workflow in the past decade on one hand, at least I'm not a JavaScript developer) but I totally respect the latter as well, so I'm glad we can each have what we need.

Thanks for the info.

At the time I bought my Bluetooth Armaggeddon keyboard (see link) a year or more ago I looked at the Logitech ones and decided on the former specifically because it was more compact and almost an ideal size to use with a smartphone although I wouldn't make that decision now for reasons stated.

Moreover, despite being a mechanical keyboard, my 'A' key has deteriorated to the point where I have to push hard (often I only notice after the speller picks up the missing 'A'). This is another reason not to recommended it. And to make matters worse the key is soldered to the board in an awkward way (I was planning on swapping it with a key that wasn't used as much but it was too much trouble). There are other reasons too including bad (buggy) software that drives key LEDs. All up, it was a bad choice.

This stuff is always changing so I'll do another survey, also I've had good results from Logitech in the past so its KBs will be high on the list.

BTW, at the time I bought the Mk-17 Am. I'd first done a bit of a survey and I noted several comments/reviews that lamented the lack of Bluetooth keyboards due to the fact that there was little demand for them. I suppose that makes sense with WiFi availability but it also indicates that few bother to use an external KB with their phones or tablets. Thus, despite editing text on a mobile being such a pain it seems few do anything about it.

Incidentally, the mouse I use with my phone is the Logitech dual wireless unifying/Bluetooth model M590. It works well.

I don't have one and it's annoying and not annoying.

Annoying because, yes entering numbers is a problem.

Not annoying because the mouse is closer.
If you use their controller, you no longer need the app on a phone (e.g. to fly in restricted locations)? That would be nice.
Found a Logitech keyboard with no missing keys next to a dumpster back in 2007. I took it home, cleaned it up, replaced the torn and tattered USB cable, been using it since then.

Whenever someone complains about their keyboard Bluetooth not connecting, or their batteries dying, I gently raise it in the air and point at it.
is there a more modern version that would have the swappable battery?

I assume that the message means that Homebrew is incorrectly identifying the installation of MacOS Sonoma as “out of date”, and that means updating Hombbrew is a side-effect of updating the OS.

As a long-time OSS contributor and an active maintainer on a different OSS operating system, I can definitively state that the answer is: yes, it’s absolutely limiting.

They received a reported-by credit, which was more than sufficient — especially on a tiny patch that got rewritten.

The important work was identifying and reporting the issue, and they got credit for that.

By turning around and writing an angry blog post, they turned a non-issue into some seriously unpleasant drama. Nobody is going to particularly want to deal with them again.
You're reasoning isn't sound here. Same logic can be applied to other things: breeding dogs to dog fight, breeding humans for organ harvest, etc. And presumably you wouldn't think those justify things.

I would also ask you to consider if you'd like to be born as a creature that will be mutilated, abused and ultimately painfully killed and if you would consider that preferable to never existing.

It's funny you bring this as an argument as I constantly get asked about "the weird dialogue" when you install a third party browser. "What do I do? I don't understand." ... A great counter example to good choice actually.
I vaguely remember fluxbox having such a feature.
Selling anything in America is incredibly difficult even when you make design and or manufacture your own products.

Bureaucrats and their good intentions. Apple is not even close to being a monopoly on the market of smartphones. And the reason their products work so well (despite some lapses in last 6-7 years) is integration. Creating the whole banana as Jobs used to say. This makes me feel sick, as sick as I was having to jump through hoops installing European Windows which had its browser and media player removed because of European Union's bureaucrats and their good intentions. I don't even like Microsoft. But what I like even less is people with zero technical skill and understanding of managing ecosystems forcefully ruining the efforts of those who succeeded with theirs through incompetent regulation.
> However, the dependency ends here. If you just want, you can analyze, deconstruct, modify or synthesize any memes at any level beyond the level of your primitives (given enough time).

Thought Experiment: Say an isolated child was given the primitives of your choice, and nothing more. What's the likelihood that it'll invent calculus on its own during its lifetime? Or any other significant human discoveries/inventions. Will it figure out human flight on its own?

Leave that. Say there are no teachers/industry, except just all the textbooks. Still what is the likelihood of it teaching itself calculus or how to build a flying machine based on mere reading material?
80 is desirable because it’s the default port of web browsers and means you can just visit the DNS or up address & not have to remember to tack on some arbitrary port number. Or use some sort of proxy if setup.

And there’s nothing wrong with using port 80 security wise. Binding a port doesn’t mean you’re opening it on the firewall for the world to see. Plus if you’re opening some port on the firewall, what port you use doesn’t matter - it’ll be scanned by an automated scanner shortly regardless of port.
At times, the destruction was also quite utilitarian. For example, if you destroyed a piece of agricultural equipment, and it took three months to get another one up from London, you and your chums had work for the season. That's an entirely rational course of action (though not necessarily the most effective or moral one).
I trust Apple that if I subscribe to some paid app from the AppStore, the subscription can be cancelled anytime from a unified place. And Apple is forcing every shady company to adopt this system if they're offering subscriptions.

Apple is forcing every shady company to disclose their tracking practices in the AppStore page of their app.

Apple is forcing every shady company to provide good reason to the app review board why their app needs permission for background execution, bluetooth usage, location permissions, and any other sensitive stuff. They can't just ask for a ton of permissions and count on the user blanket-approving them due to popup blindness.

Apple is forcing every shady company to offer pseudonymous Apple login if they require registration, so they can't harvest my email address or spam me after I stopped using their app.

He is “still a thing.” A decade ago blogs were a thing and he was prominent as a blogger. Now blogs are dead, but he’s still podcasting a lot, so it’s easier to have not come across his podcast (because you’re not going to casually spend an hour listening unless you are pretty into it) than to not come across a blog (where people would link to ten random things every day).

Yeah but he's correcting the parent, who said "the mantra of some in the tech field", which is wrong.
Android has a 66% market share in the EU, and ~55% in the US - which it gained only recently (~2021/22). Otherwise Android has had the largest share globally.

By definition, A monopoly force does not have a 33% or 50% market share. It has full control.

If you want, you can switch. If you want, you can use products that are NOT locked to a vendor. You have Dropbox, you have obsidian, email - any number of tools that are not vendor locked.

If you want a phone, you can take many of the comparable or superior phones in the Android ecosystem.

This is being phrased as a goal for "User Freedom". If a user wants the freedom to have a locked ecosystem, where they are the actual paying customer, so what?

Any absolutist user freedom argument has to also deal with users who dont want that freedom.

If this is about meaningful freedoms, then the threat is revenue models. There is no reason the Apple ecosystem should outperform Android - yet it does.
That’s fine for Merlin.

You can call it dark, or you can hire the many fine software people laid off from the twitter ridiculosity. Your choice.

The job market is strange currently. Low unemployement rate (in part because of how many people withdrew). Businesses complaining they can't find people (some in part because they offer too little money). Many perenially underemployed. Absurd hiring processes (because of perceived cost of hiring the wrong person rather than nobody at all.)

My point is that simply "calling it dark" is not helpful to any of the participants.
It took me a moment, but your version is very nice.

What I regret not focusing on earlier:

- Make a simple and complete game, with the full flow of "Loading > Starting > Playing > Finished > Published" as soon as you can, and do this for each "concept" you want to explore

- Try to focus on one concept you want to learn per game made

- Don't give up on the current game but force yourself to go through the full flow, even if the game itself is trash and you're 110% sure no one will play it.

- Accept that the first 10 games will be absolute crap and show almost no progress, but after that you'll see that you improve

- Note down flows and architectures that works for you when implementing those games, iterate on those ideas in future games

What engine you use is almost irrelevant, as long as you pick one and stay with it. Also, it depends on what type of game you're trying to develop.

- Unity 3D if you want something quick and basic that will be easy to find people to collaborate on in the future

- Unreal Engine if you want something complete and complex, and are fine with a slightly steeper learning curve, but also easy to find collaborators in the future

- Bevy if you want something experimental that focuses 100% on code (for now), with a large focus on parallelism and be able to write code with Rust

- Godot if you want something similar to Unity Engine but FOSS and not as feature complete (yet).

- Finally, write your own game engine in whatever language you want if you don't actually want to create a finished game but you'd rather fall into rabbit hole after rabbit hole trying to create a better engine. Lots of fun and educational, but not productive if the end goal is a published game.
Impressive work!

And oddly, it would be even more impressive if they built their own Web Browser from scratch ...
I'm not convinced this article says what the title suggests, but it's very hard to judge. It talks about "Emissions Intensity" and states:

> "India's rate of emissions intensity - the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions emitted for every unit increase of gross domestic product (GDP) - fell by 33% from 2005 to 2019"

Sounds to me that this is a case of "decrease of the increase", rather than overall reduction. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
In a very narrow perspective, you can say that the result is the same. And yes, in general many people call tax breaks subsidies like you point out. But there's a huge difference.

Example one: You give a man a fish. That to me is a gift or subsidy.

Example two: You force every fisherman to give you a fish each when they come back from sea. One slips through and you don't get a fish from him. Was that a subsidy? Was that a gift from you to him, since the net result is the same? Pardon the pun.
I switched to Linux last year and it's an absolute dream in comparison.

Using Windows when Linux is available is just like using WhatsApp when Signal is available. It's a matter of mass-adoption and really not much more (ie the platforms are nearly functionally identical). So help spread the word! :-)
I love how the keyboard looks barely contained in the x201, with the minimal bezel needed to provide structural integrity.

> the government reaction to the whole thing was equally absurd.

It, however, would later give Marx a nice example of how the government is the tool that the ruling class uses to oppress the working classes and get their way: because when seen from this angle, the reaction was entirely reasonable.
