Aye but y'all are way ahead! I get to hack on software that bids into DSO-level circuits for NODES up in Norway.

I imagine Norway is seeing a lot of the issues - and opportunities - that having high EV penetration brings, so a good place to watch for what works and what doesn't.

To be clear, I ebike to work 9 miles each way year-round, including in rain and snow (not a lot of rain where I live, but plenty of snow in winter). I don't have kids though.

But I do live in the US where the city is fairly car-centric, and it is ludicrous to suggest as the person I first replied to did that a cargo e-bike is a full replacement for a short-range electric car like a Leaf. There are large commercial sections of my city that cannot be safely accessed by bike, as the only ways to get there include highway off-ramps that have a 12-inch shoulder, with concrete barriers to the right and cars going 50mph just a few feet to the left.

Few people would regularly bike on such a route with their children. Especially in inclement weather.

I can take care of 70% of my day to day life with my ebike. But for the remaining 30%, a car really is necessary. And that 20% is too frequent to rent, especially lacking the inexpensive carshare services of other countries.

> If a low range EV is enough 100% just buy a bike.

Pretending that a short-range electric vehicle is not useful because ebikes exist is just sticking one's head in the sand and pretending that people unlike oneself and locations unlike where one lives do not exist.
Same experience herw - I've met Stanford/MIT grads and PhDs that struggled with the simplest things the brand has entirely worn off. I think I'd have an easier time trusting a tier 2 grad who "made it" than tier 1s in general, at least as far as technical competency is concerned.
GDP is the wrong metric. Military strength and sustainability are the most important drivers for a country. Example: This is why North Korea is able to survive despite being blacklisted economically from most of the world. China is enabling its sustainability.

I think the cat is out of the bag, didn't suffer in productivity from WFH and in fact many companies posted some of their best quarters. They got giddy on the returns and overhired and overspent, now credit is expensive and they are tightening back. Enforcing RTO is an easy way for most companies to cut 10% or more of the workforce.

Realistically these companies are going to lose out to companies that have embraced remote work. The benefits of not having that expensive downtown real estate and being able to hire talent from anywhere are too good.
Yeah, based on the parent, and the genius of the musicians involved, I was expecting something more than the sum of its parts. Hurt is an incredibly powerful song, and the Cash rendition imbues it with another beautiful layer.

As a joke, I can see it being funny, but it was a jarring way to experience it.

I agree. High school in America today is full of conflicting priorities. I believe that choice is the only viable answer. Not the two plus two choices we have today (public/charter and private/home schooling). But throw it all open. Each state should publish a minimum curriculum standard for high school. If Big Tech wants to create an online version of high school that meets the standards, parents and students should have that choice. If Big Health Care wants to create a health oriented high school that meets the standards, parents and students should have that choice.

From a Gizmodo article:

> Tux was located by Lyft’s own investigators days later just a little over a mile up the road from where she was last seen, as announced by the company in a tweet this morning. [1]

It really sounds like the driver drove away and threw the cat out of the car as a form of retaliation.

Or the "unrelated" apps have bought ads on a wide range of keywords so that they appear in many search results?

Some companies are willing to do that work, others are not. My comment was meant as informational: OneSignal is not currently a company that will take on that work for new remote employees.

> The combinations aren't infinite here.

They certainly are. Languages are a creative space driven by the human imagination. Give people enough time and they'll build new combinations for fun or for profit or for research or for trying to capture a spoken word/tone poem in just the right sort of exciting way. You may frown on "Zalgo text" [1] (and it is terrible for accessibility), but it speaks to a creative mood or three.

The growing combinatorial explosion in Unicode's emoji space isn't an accident or something unique to emoji, but a characteristic that emoji are just as much a creative language as everything else Unicode encodes. The biggest difference is that it is a living language with a lot of visible creative work happening in contemporary writing as opposed to a language some monks centuries ago decided was "good enough" and school teachers long ago locked some of the creative tools in the figurative closets to keep their curriculum simpler and their days with fewer headaches.

I'm arguing that it's an obvious optimization to assign short tokens to commonly used concepts.

The passenger was going around the other way though, which makes sense as routine human behavior. The driver driving off right away also normal human behavior.

But the driver not stopping after the passenger trying all sorts of banging (I know fear for self but doesn't seem like a case this way) is not normal.
Absolutely agreed.

It's 10+ hour differences that can be rough for everyone involved--async communication is low bandwidth, and it can be brutal and erosive for either party to get up early or stay up late just to have some common work hours.

Ah, yeah, that sounds like it was indeed just incorrect.

To add to your comment about modern medicine. Keep in mind that when you isolate out infant mortality, you get an average life span of roughly 60-ish in ancient times.

Present day mortality is closer to 85+ for the G7 countries and 75+ for other fairly well developed countries. That's a 25 year increase! Given those statistics, I would say modern medicine is actually doing quite a bit to improve life expectancy into your golden years!
I think it's way worst than that. The caste system has deep spiritual roots in Hinduism that are over 2000 years old. Certain upper (high Brahmin, presumably) castes would literally have to perform purifying rituals if they even laid eyes on someone from one of the lowest(?) castes. No such parallel exists in Europe afaik.

They aren't employees, are they? Your verbiage seems off. I know not continuing to work with an independent contractor is very similar to firing an employee, but isn't it a little different?
I'm talking about variability in the studies on population-wide masking. The consistency in lab studies is a major part of why I belive masking is an effective public health measure but would like more study on what's causing the variation in ecological studies.

The report isn't arguing that it was a success rather than a failure. Their figure 1 is a similar chart, lacking a few years of data, but since the inflection point was back in 2016 that doesn't really matter.
If you run vanilla Linux you don't get the outstanding battery life. ChromeOS runs a Google kernel and has all sorts of power management special sauce. I tried a few distros on an older Chromebook running SeaBIOS and I got maybe 60% of the runtime, not unlike Linux vs. Windows on my Framework 13.
Parent's point is that civil servant momentum is heavily outweighed by the lobbying of the rich, who are not trying to keep things as they are (like public workers), but succeeding in changing society to better for their needs regardless of who's currently in charge.
how much faster is 3b in practice? Seems like an uncommon size, so it would make sense to have the title of "best 3b" lol
There's doing each other (& ourselves) credit, and then there's taking the score.

Sometimes it's good to be strategic, but sometimes we also need real accounts of things.

Personally an overboiling sadness & frustration that the world is captured inside closed priorietary & ultimately horrendously compromising mediocre application-centric versions of computing is a lamentation I am deeply familiar with.

The message isn't happy or here to win popularity contests. It's earnest & frank & hard, reflects on the feeling that the world is trapped & kept away from understanding.

This is one manifestion of a long running gnostic battle, one humanity has been losing for a while now, and I see no obligation or cause to pretend like earning popularity-credits helps anyone. Earnesty & catharsis on the other hand reflect the real. They portray the struggle as it is.
It is obviously a joke (and a good one, I dare say). The fact that people seem to take it seriously says something about the contemporary state of webdesign :)
The issue here isn't that the driver misinterpreted the situation and took off. It's that they apparently behaved poorly, refusing to return the animal and then dumping it somewhere; and that Lyft customer support was equally unhelpful until the story blew up on Twitter.

The tech industry is really plumbing the depths of terrible / non-existent customer service and that's the meta story here, I suppose. Even airlines, insurance, and internet service providers tend to do better - the experience of dealing with them is usually aggravating, but you can generally reach a competent human being after a while.

With tech, we basically have a complete disregard for what our users might be dealing with, and the only way to get real help is to make your story go viral on Twitter or Hackernews.
You might not have wanted to isolate yourself, but others did, and wanted others to do so as well. You can't generalize your beliefs and say that's what everybody felt, so no, it wasn't 100% top down.

That was almost 25 years ago. A lot of things have changed since then, mostly for the worse. Being young today is intense. Massive student loans(unless your parents are wealthy), extremely expensive rents(unless your parents are wealthy), 10% inflation, etc, etc, etc.

Why you should subsidize their education? Because it makes your civilization stronger. You want an educated citizenship for every possible reason there is.

There are libraries that help with iterating both code-points and grapheme clusters...
- but are there any of them that can help decide what to do for example when pressing backspace given an input string and a cursor position? Or any other text editing behavior. This use-case-dependent behavior must have some "correct" behavior that is standardized somewhere?

Like a way to query what should be treated like a single "symbol" when selecting text?
Basically something that could help out users making simple text-editors.
There are so many bad implementations out there that does it incorrectly so there must be some tools/libraries to help with this?
Not only for actual applications but for people making games as well where you want users to enter names, chat or other text.
Not all platforms make it easy (or possible) to embed a fully fledged text editing engine for those use-cases.

I can imagine that typing a multi-code-point character manually by hand would allow the user to undo their typing mistake by a single backspace press when they are actively typing it, but after that if you return to the symbol and press backspace that it would delete the whole symbol (grapheme cluster).

For example if you manually entered the code points for the various family combination emojis (mother, son, daughter) you could still correct it for a while - but after the fact the editor would only see it as a single symbol to be deleted with a single backspace press?

Or typing 'o' + '¨' to produce 'ö' but realizing you wanted to type 'ô', there just one backspace press would revert it to 'o' again and you could press '^' to get the 'ô'. (Not sure that is the way in which you would normally type those characters but it seems possible to do it with unicode that way).
Inflation being transitory doesn’t imply prices will ever go down though. That was just people not understanding how inflation works.
> it just makes it so people are required to remember their labels

Why do you think you need to know your label? If someone thinks you're of a given caste and discriminates against you, that's still wrong, regardless if they got the label right.

For example, someone shouted some things at me (wrongly) assuming I was Jewish. That's shitty regardless and would be illegal in some circumstances.
In the UK you can buy "off plan", but you only pay a deposit, and that goes into escrow until you get the keys, the developer can't touch the money until then

How are they supposed to discover every new binary for every application as soon as it is released, correctly classify them as known good, and add them to the QA testing, in a time frame that you would not classify as “incompetence”?

Did you ever figure it out?

This is the exact situation that I always liked to show my students, because it shows the power of abstractions, in this case the c++ string object, and the danger of making assumptions about data. And then, finally, showing them how it is very much possible, and it was designed into the library in order to accommodate such use cases. Basically, I used it as a tool to help them better understand the data representation of strings, as well as for them to learn something deeper about the c++ standard library.
