What is your assertion here? Old websites were saying "width: max-content" in the past? That they happened to ask for what was an invalid value that so happens to have this weird name?

Can you find any evidence that this happens? This seems incredibly fantastically super unlikely. And it was an invalid use if it did exist.

Sounds like a big huge bundle of nonsense FUD to me.
I think “packing” and “mapping” describe real things that people do and I think it’s possible to lean in one direction or the other but the conclusion — that one is better than the other — doesn’t really follow for me.

I’m not very good at memorizing facts so I tend to “map” more than “pack”. I’ve worked with people who are far better packers than I am and they go from zero to shipping much faster than I do. Both skills are advantageous in the right situation.
Two additional rules I don't see followed often, but made a past life of mine much easier:

1. rollbacks are bullshit, stop pretending they aren't. They work fine for easy changes, but you can't rollback the hard ones (like deleting a field), and you're better off getting comfortable with forward-only migrations

2. never expose real tables to an application. Create an "API" schema which contains only views, functions, procedures, and only allow applications to use this schema. This gives you a layer of indirection on the DB side such that you can nearly eliminate the dance of coordinating application changes and database migrations

You can get away without these rules for a long time, but 2 becomes particularly useful when more than one application uses the database.

Not driving requires even less. It requires the local and state governments to stop making it illegal to build the type of dense walkable neighborhoods that we built until the 1930s.

Let landowners build what they deem fit on their own land. That's it (or a large part of it)
Yet another misguided comment.

We cannot simply stop driving anymore than we can stop using an increasing amount energy. There are huge portions of humanity that live in places that depend on cars. It’s a non-solution to say people should just stop driving - billions cannot.

Humans have always had kids during difficult times. I used to subscribe to the antinatalist philosophy until it became too depressing and against my biological desire to have children (haven’t yet). I now see having children as an act of optimism and hope.

However, I think what that means is that we cannot maintain the same behavior that has led us to this point. As a society we need to change, but that’s been really hard as we’ve seen.

While it’s not much, I have changed my individual behaviors to align with this philosophy of hopeful optimism by not owning a car, volunteering to pick up litter and plant trees, and investing in renewable energy ETFs.

Plus, if the only people reproducing are the ones whose parents believe in endless growth and consumption, who’s going to stop them? We need children who believe in a different system to save our environment.

I am indeed very lucky and grateful that my income can support my entire family such that my wife could take a break from her career (in social services, a hell much worse than my own career) to raise our child full time. I would trade the frustrations of tech to be a stay at home dad in a heartbeat.
Themself - the ability to attract a paying audience.
In other words: you're proposing to replace a set of possible, if difficult, technological solutions, with an near-impossible social solution. I'd call that misguided.

Technological solutions tend to be discussed because they can be implemented. Social solutions may work better, but only in imaginary la-la land where they can actually be put into practice. In the real world, you can't "just" get people to not drive.
You aren't considering the listening environment. It is possible for ultrasonic sounds to interact with objects in the environment or with other ultrasonic sounds to produce lower frequency sounds that are in the range of normal human hearing.

There was an even a creepy ad campaign several years ago that took advantage of this. They had a billboard in New York for A&Es new show "Paranormal State" with the tagline "It's not your imagination".

They used an ultrasonic system on the billboard to make audible sounds appear in a small region on the sidewalk but not anywhere else. When people walking along the sidewalk got to that region they would hear a woman whisper "Who's there? Who's there? It's not your imagination".

That system worked by making a single ultrasonic beam that somehow as it dispersed became audible. There are other systems that use multiple ultrasonic beams that produce audible sound via interference where the beams meet.

Many acoustic instruments do produce significant amounts of sound above normal human hearing range. Cymbals for example have nearly 70% of the sound power above 20 kHz. Trumpets with a mute have almost 2% above 20 kHz.

It seems possible then that if you wanted to produce a recording that reproduces the sound you would get if live acoustic instruments were playing in the same environment you might need to include ultrasonics unless you are making a binaural recording.

This does raise the question of what we actually want playback of a recording to achieve. Is a recording of a string quartet when played back in my living room supposed to sound like that string quartet is playing in my living room, or is it supposed to sound like what I'd have heard if I was there when the piece was recorded, or is it supposed to be something else?

(For those who haven't heard of binaural recordings, they are stereo recordings made by placing microphones inside the ears of a model human head so they record the sounds that actually ends up in each ear when something is recorded live for a listener at a specific location in an environment. This page of headphone tests [2] includes a binaural test if you'd like to such a recording).

I honestly don't know with certainty. I explicitly set drive types with "SET RA* TYPE=" (and RQ*) and image sizes with RAUSER, and suspect that the metadata got written to after the drive type's size offset in to the image.

I noticed several other bugs: one of my disk images has the metadata block at the beginning of the image (no idea how). One of my systems (a big endian system - imagine Mark's shock and surprise when he learns that people who run less common systems in simh sometimes run... less common systems!) had appended an extra metadata block onto each image every time simh was relaunched.

Once I realized that there were these blocks of extraneous data here and there, I started looking online to see if others had similar experiences, and came across the threads talking about this new "feature".

And I disagree that writing disk images to disks / partitions without explicitly giving dd the size isn't a typical use case. I can't remember the last time I specified the size. The size of the file is always assumed to be the size of the write, and it'd be a very special edge case to deliver a file, then tell people to only write a specific size. Go download any .iso or .img file for installing any OS out there, and show me on the download page where we're told to stop after a certain byte (block) count if you disagree.

This problem is far worse with a concentrated system than a decentralized one. If there are five local pubs and one of them won't have you, well, still four more. If there is only one bank and their loan officer doesn't like the cut of your jib, or their algorithm has decided to have a false positive, you're done.

Though of course the modern problem isn't that there is only one bank, it's that there is only one bank regulator which subjects all of the banks to the same incentives, and if those rule you out you're effectively prohibited from using a bank in another jurisdiction with different rules.

What you need for this is something permissionless.

The article mentions that tire dust largely consists of "ultrafine" particles (<100nm).

Perhaps it's possible to use compounds for which precisely those fine particles bio-degrade quicker than for currently used compounds?

Big-object & fine particle properties are different enough to look into this, no?
It's definitely not something I'd do again. I'd warn off anyone from taking this approach. But the early results are looking good and I'm very excited about what this enables for the next few years ahead of us.
I've been following this community since the january 2021. I'm 50 minutes in and this seems like a pretty accurate take thus far. It has absolutely morphed into a syncretic conspiracy theory, and even cargo cult as some other commenters have pointed out.

I personally made a pretty penny on the run up just with some stop loss orders. I have been wheeling it for about 1.5 years as well and currently have 200 shares for free. I don't believe in any of the conspiracy theories, but these people keep pumping money in and maintaining a pretty stable trading channel, so I will keep selling theta.
So why do we need variables?
Surely brake dust must be negligible compared to tire and asphalt dust?

I recently replaced the brake pads on my Land Cruiser; 70,000km (45,000 miles) since they were last replaced. This is a large, heavy 4x4, yet the amount of brake liner worn from the pads must have been on the order of a pound, if not less.

> There’s no clear distinction between religion and culture.

While too many religious people let their cultural and other beliefs/values contaminate their religious practice, it is still pretty simple to draw a line, and it's silly to try to infer something about a religious group based on the attitudes of your irreligious parents.

As a couple of us have pointed out, the same attitudes are exhibited by non-Muslim South Asians, so why are you still asserting their views reflect some vestige of their ancestral religion as opposed to the culture they come from?

I get that he is controversial. There are plenty of things to criticize Musk for. We can talk about factory conditions, replacing humans with robots, various political takes... But lumping him in with climate change deniers? That is so bonkers to me.
> Cars have been getting heavier long before EVs came around. One of the problems is that EVs are all new. Too many of them are bigger than they need to be. But that also goes for new ICE vehicle models.

I’m not too worried about the weight of EVs long term.

Given the rate of climate change / ecological damage, what definition are we using for "long term"?

That aside, you've might have buried the lede. The switch over to EVs should represent an opportunity to revisit and evolve what personal transportation could look like and should look like[1]. Instead we've taking the same *old* bigger, stronger, faster paradigm and replacing petrol with a plug. Humans' role in the bigger broader picture isn't changing. It's the starus quo with a solar panel.

There's a better than fair chance we're going to regret squandering this opportunity.

[1] Similar happened with the pandemic...an opportunity to revist and rethink was quickly swept aside for back to the status quo. ASAP please. That's great for the status quo but certain a concern for the long term.

This feels like a false equivalence. Splitting articles try to make broad generalizations about human behavior, but, as any social scientist knows, human behavior is extremely complicated and multidimensional. A critique of these articles is about falsity, which is binary.

I had the same title for 20 year Technical Consultant 3 and then I made the massive jump to TC4, every idiot that can log into Azure is now a Senior Sysadmin and if they can fumble their way through a Linux install they are the IT director (with 2 years of experience total). Titles in our industry aren't worth anything, I equate it to the startup with three employees and their titles are CEO, COO and COT....
"Engineer" is a similarly protected title where I live as well. In my experience, software engineers and software developers without the engineer title seem to do exactly the same kind of work.

This is unlikely. There are many many theories of how dark matter could be accounted for with ordinary matter that we simply can't detect because our telescopes/etc aren't good enough.

Not all of these theories are completely excluded yet but most have very very thin margins of phase space left to explore (even when combining multiple explanations together). Every time a new telescope comes online we see the phase space diminish rather than hints towards first observations.

We are left with:

A) new particles that don't (or very weakly) interact with electro magnetic fields.

B) New theories of gravity.

C) New theories of the early universe that open up phase space previously thought closed to existing matter contributions

D) better instrumentation that sees actual contribution in the tiny phase space left to ordinary matter and ordinary physics

D is by far the least interesting of these options and so gets very little press. But it gets plenty of academic attention and you can be assured it is not being ignored by scientists

I'd allow that "a couple of things" could mean 3, even 4 at a stretch - you're downplaying the size of the task to make it sound like your request isn't unreasonable. But a couple of some specific item (can of coke, etc.) means 2 - if they brought back 3 I'd ask them what's the 3rd one for.

> We naturally use Rust enums to describe these states. How nice it would be if Rust's enum system was rich enough to be able to describe and enforce the valid state transitions rather than just the set of possible states. There are various ways to try and approximate this (I've seen a few articles), but on the whole they're rather awkward and full of holes.

I'm assuming you're referring to type state machines, where you have one struct per state and the only way to translate from one state to the next is through method calls. Defining these is quite verbose (unless you rely on macros) but how is it full of holes?

If I'm understanding your question correctly (how do I change some of the components of the entity and still know it's the same entity) the answer is that usually in ECS entities have an ID assigned to them, so as long as the entity ID is the same it doesn't matter if the associated WeaponComponent records change.

Theorycrafting here, but wine and proton will make it pretty easy to decouple Steam platform DRM.

It should be noted that it's perfectly possible to release your game on steam in a way where the steam client doesn't even need to be running in order to launch the game. The choice to tie Steam's service into the ability to run the software you purchase /seems/ to be a decision made entirely by the people publishing their games.

If that's the case, you should really be more concerned about that behavior rather than Steam's DRM existing. Don't buy games whose behaviors you disagree with!
