> "They are mainly config files that you don’t use often why have it print all the time when not needed"

He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it.

"I like having a harpoon in me" said the whale, "sometimes I need to get rid of toxins in my blood so why have a complete skin when not needed?". It was a stupid whale that didn't understand it had kidneys for that.

"Why does my Python code show a different view of files to ls?"

"Because LS has a mistake in it where it doesn't list all the files returned by the filesystem"

"Why don't they fix the mistake?"

"They have twisted their minds and bodies around the brokenness of their tooling. Knowing the intricacies of the broken systems is what gives them wizard status, signals in-group membership, superiority from normies. Putting files in subfolders requires no arcane knowledge, signals boring office corporatism, commands no higher salary."

"Would I be wrong to predict this kind of thing runs deep through the whole system?"

"I've never heard anyone else complain before now", he said, incrementing the "days without complaint" counter on the wall. "Oh, we count in a mixed base of 60 or sometimes base 24 or 12 or 28 or 30 or 31 or 364.25 with a four-period adjustment for the fractional part or base 100 or 1000, with a regional adjustement based on longitude around the planet but modulated by political affiliations, with a region-dependent bi-annual adjustment for tilt of the planet towards the main star but adjusted on different days in different regions, and then seconds from just after the American moon landing but based in London region without the regional adjustment or leap second adjustment".

"That seems complicated and disruptive to a lot of people twice a year?"

"It does everything I need, besides I'm sure we'd have heard by now if there were any problems with it".

Because arbitrarily not showing one single subset of files based on the idea that I sometimes won't need that group of files is a ridiculous design. Not a design, a mistake which has become abused as a file organising system instead of subfolders which are an actual design for organising files. Because the system has no idea when needed or when not needed and shouldn't guess. Because in every directory listing, most of the files are not needed, but the ones which are are different each time, that's why we have patterns and globbing to select in the subset you want and also -I / --ignore=PATTERN to exclude the subset you don't want. Adding extra special flags -B "exclude ~ files" is crappy design when you can -I it but at least it doesn't affect you if you don't know/care about it.

It's one thing to be stuck with a bad design from history for pragmatic reasons, it's another to be unable to see that it's a bad design when it only suits some people's use case, sometimes, in some folders, but it's a default which affects everyone all the time in all folders and contradicts what the rest of the system sees.
Congratulations on your upcoming presentation at pgconf.eu! It's always refreshing to see new faces sharing their passion in the tech world. Speaking from personal experience, my first conference talk was a rollercoaster of emotions - from nervousness to exhilaration. One key lesson I learned was the importance of weaving real-world examples into the technical details. Audiences tend to connect more when they see how your work translates into practical solutions. So, in your "SQL micro-framework" presentation, consider sharing a memorable real-life scenario where it made a significant impact. It's an effective way to engage your audience and make your talk more relatable. Best of luck with your presentation – you've got this!

I looked it up and the 1987-1991 Ford F series trucks came with some carbureted trucks and some EFI trucks, so it definitely could have been a carb helping too :)
The parking isn't free. It's subsidized and comes at the expense of density, walkability, and the opportunity cost of what else could've been built.

> The West has spent centuries modernizing itself to the point where there is a vast gap between the West and the rest of the world.

The West has spent centuries inventing and iterating on technology which is now available to the rest of the world, and has experienced how environmental hazards are created, which we want to avoid repeating.

The West also handcuffs itself with environmental morality (see infrastructure development in China vs the US). We have experience with pollution and want to avoid countries and continents of 1b+ people making the Earth uninhabitable.

Culture and attitude are a billion times more important than city planning when it comes to happy communities. Anyone who has traveled can tell you this. According to all these stupid blog articles from Americans, I have lived in 7 different heavens, but the reality I experienced was markedly different.

Just because people live densely packed together does not mean that they will decide to strike up a conversation and get to know each other. It does not mean that there will be five people lending a hand when you need help. Quite the opposite. Americans take for granted their culture, which in these aspects is better than what you will find in many European cities.

Actually thinking about it, packing people densely together might even foster a culture that is more insular, cold and hostile than what the typical American is accustomed to.

We have plenty of wood, go outside and see for yourself. We currently have very visible issues with the power grid, and as you’ve pointed out you’ve doubled every houses power demand.

Let’s look at what happened in TX, when the grid shut down. How will people charge their cars to leave the area? Maybe people used the gasoline engine in their car to provide heat.
I agree that the monolithic nature of K8s is a bad idea and will always lead to more problems.

The competitors don't exist because incumbency prevents progress. Nobody wants to write a competitor to K8s, because it would be impossible to get people to switch away from K8s, because K8s is a billion-dollar ecosystem. Thousands of companies now exist solely to service it and build parts for it. None of them want to support two such systems, and none of them want to completely reinvent themselves for some other platform. And from the user's perspective, it's not like getting into a different car, it's like learning to drive an entirely different vehicle, so they have no incentive to switch.

This isn't just a tech thing, this is a universal thing. Incumbents suppress innovation and competition without even trying to.
Well, yes. It's a sort of inhabitable theme park. “It’s positively European, somewhere between Mykonos and Ibiza,”, per article - it does indeed look like all those holiday photos of Mykonos or Corfu.

To be clear: this is a compliment. I think it's good that people are allowed to have a variety of living environments and try things every now and again.
I spent a month in downtown major city this summer and I loved it. I could walk to work, walk my kids to summer camp, we all took the subway and walked sometimes back home. They loved it, and I loved it, despite being on a crowded subway or street car. Just the sheer human interaction and people watching made it so much more enjoyable than spending our time in a car isolated from the rest of the world. Yes, I wasn't accustomed to the noise and the ambulance and police sirens, but overall it was amazing and will try to do it next summer as well.
Another thing they've done more recently is HDR video (to my cave man brain, this means brighter brights).

They've paired this with much higher brightness on the screens, which makes the videos look much more realistic. I first noticed this on my M1 Pro screen, which absolutely blew me away (1600 nits peak brightness).

That's the biggest telltale "filmed on iPhone" trait I'm noticing right now. Yes, you can create HDR videos in other ways, and I'm sure it will be more popular on other platforms soon.
That's not a good public transit. Personally I wouldn't consider any city in the US to have good public transit. Traveling around in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai for instance, I never even look at the train schedule unless it's very late at night (to make sure I can catch the last train).
> working and gaining an income will always improve your standard of living

Do you mean now? Or under UBI? Or under UBI plus the necessary changes in the tax code to make sure adding more income never puts you in a higher tax bracket that reduces your actual take home income? Even the last wouldn't necessarily make your claim true, since working has costs as well as benefits--paying for your daily commute, for example.

> We can even potentially reduce or eliminate minimum wage

This would be an obvious thing to do if UBI existed, but nobody, to my knowledge, is proposing it, and it would be politically very difficult to achieve even with UBI. Nobody wants to be the one who takes away any perceived benefit.

> an economic future where there are no reasonable opportunities for a growing number of people

To the extent this is an actual problem, the way to fix it is not UBI, but removing the massive number of government regulations that make it extremely difficult to start a small business and be competitive. The idea that we are running out of actual opportunities for productive work--that is, opportunities for making positive sum trades that are not being made now because nobody has yet started the necessary business to enable them--is laughable. Human wants are limitless. But the most cost effective ways to satisfy particular wants do change, and people's expectations of job opportunities do have to change with them.

> What will, for example, ride sharing, food delivery drivers, and truck drivers do when self-driving vehicles eliminate the need for them?

What happened to all the horse carriage drivers, grooms, stable hands, etc., etc. when the automobile made horse transport obsolete?

The answer, of course, is that they went and found different jobs. Some of them found jobs in automobile factories, or became gas station attendants, or worked on road paving crews. But others went to work for new businesses, or started new businesses, doing things that hadn't existed at all before, because there were no people available to do them.

In other words, your implicit mental model, which is that there are a fixed number of jobs and once automation takes some away, no others arise to replace them, is simply wrong.

> Do you believe we have (or will have) jobs to employ the ten-plus million who will be put out of work in the coming decade or two?

Historically, that has always been what happens when a technology change makes a large pool of people available for new work, so yes. The only thing that might put a spoke in the wheel is government regulations preventing people from starting new businesses doing new things to employ those people. See above.
I know exactly what you mean by this! I can always tell if it was taken on an iPhone -- not that it looks bad, or anything, but there's always a few little cues that make it obvious. As you mentioned, I think the motion is a large part of it.
Okay. Well, um, I guess we should all just pack up and go home. We're done.
Your point is also true. I would contest the notion that mine is misleading, given that the parent asks, "where are the fossil fuels?"
List of technologies RIAA has successfully sued out of existence:
I still use double-space after sentences because I like semantically distinguishing end-of-sentence from mid-sentence abbreviations.

i.e. if point is at the beginning of "This is Mr. Smith's hat. It is green." I want next-sentence to advance to "It", rather than "Smith".
A makerspace
If freedom to move about freely is a desirable thing (think: making more jobs accessible to people without their own car without an hour-long multi-stage commute), this is a great outcome! A self-driving rush hour would also be very different from the ones we know today. No irritated, distracted, or road-raging drivers. Immediate and safe yielding to any pedestrian who used the road. As a regular urban cyclist during rush-hour, I would instantly trade a road full of distracted commuters juggling a cup of coffee and looking at their phone with self-driving cars. Further, surge pricing would discourage people from traveling at peak times. I know of no public transit system that has anything like surge pricing, which therefore means that the systems must be overbuilt for peak capacity.
> When I was young, the first profession I said I wanted to be was a Vet. I was obsessed with it. I loved all animals, but dogs the most.

Same with my 10 year old. We had a nice "what do you want to be when you grow up" conversation in the car the other day and of course she decided she'd be a veterinarian because she loves animals. I don't want to be Mr. Negative Dad or discourage anything, but we had a "let's think about that for a minute" talk and she figured out the unpleasant side of the idea pretty quickly.
I can't see it as anything other than emotional extortion. It's not like the animal shelter is paying for that care. It's being written off, and the reason it's being written off is they make so much from the owners that do pay they can afford to do so.

Every dystopia starts off being someone else's utopia.

Even the Federation. Just the existence of interplanetary hybrids (Spock being the basic example) combined with the repression of genetic engineering indicates the existence of a profession which may not be spoken of to make such things happen. (Yes, The Progenitors, they were fun, and the female Changeling to boot, but you still couldn't get easy cross-breeding) The Federation still keeps a lot on lockdown. They're not handing out Class 5 replicators easily, they still ration holodeck usage, and so on. If anything, the Federation has always looked like a society where people are funneled into various professions based on some kind of convenience. Starfleet looks like a great way to give the ambitious and rambunctious something to do while the rest of Earth pushes softly-glowing widgets around. And then there's Quark's "root beer" analogy ...

Count me as someone who fears the utopia.

Some languages use a wider type of whitespace than the regular word separator after a full stop when typeset professionally. (Similarly, when there are abbreviations that involve periods, the space after them can be slightly narrower than the normal word separator.)

The wider form of whitespace is not easy to get out of regular text editors and word processing software, so some people choose to emulate it by entering two regular word separators. (This is too wide, though, if we are being precise.)
What's the current status of 64-Bit on Raspberry Pi? My knowledge is pretty outdated, I remembered that initially, even the Raspberry Pi 4 was still running 32-Bit Raspbian and that 64-Bit was a hack/experimental. Is that all resolved and done and dusted now, and we have a full 64-Bit system? Or will that require Bookworm?

Because in the real world code size is often more important than throughput on for large inputs in microbenchmarks. There is a point of diminishing returns and in the opinion of many -O3 is beyond that. If it does the job and the job is worth doing use it.
I want to see in the first 5 minutes: 1) a simple explanation of what it is - don't assume I know anything about the problem 2) why this solution is better than the others/what unique problem it is solving 3) a quick demo. As an engineer then I want to see the architecture from a high level and how to most easily implement into my shop. Save the code deep dives for last unless there's some really unique and interesting things going on under the hood. Underpromise and overdeliver.

My Experience with Micro Front End Architecture – Is It Worth It?
I'm just old enough to remember using a typewriter for school work. And at least on the typewriter I used, the period key produced a width of exactly a period. In other words, an extra space was absolutely required just to "fill out" the period. And the small period width allowed you to do a "proper" ellipsis.

I didn't quite realize that was the reason for the double space until these comments, though, as we were simply taught that it was required to put 2 spaces after a period.

The comma, btw, was slightly wider.
> Comedy is about the unexpected -- leading a reader down a path and then changing directions in a way that provokes laughter, not confusion.

Yup. My favorite line was "Frankly, I think this all goes back to my childhood, when I would constantly bite people for no reason."

It just leaves the reader in midair. The started reading that sentence expecting an origin story of sorts, but the "origin" of this behavior is just some more history of unexplained biting.

I'm sure the Rohingya people would have an issue with these assertions. Currently misinformation is disseminated by elected officials who then regurgitate it back and forth with social networks. There's now a concept of "picking what's true" which is ludicrous. People can't even agree on the facts due to the levels of misinformation.

Looking at your own feed and projecting it as an absolute fact for the general public is a problematic assertion. The main problem with social networks is that people can lock themselves within a disinformation bubble that bounces the lie back and forth.

I'm 10 blocks east, should be fine too. Even if the earthquake somehow gets a couple blocks past I-5 (can't see how that could happen) I'd still have 7-8 blocks as a safety cushion.
Yeah while I applaud new ideas, and them actually designing for the site, this is basically an apartment complex with no parking. It's not a neighborhood, it's in an existing neighborhood. The addition of some commerce is nice, but this is not some self contained destination.

Neuroscientist here: You're right!

At least in the neuro that we know today, most [0] of the communication between neurons is done in the Fourier domain. In that, it's the frequency of firing events that matters, not that a neuron fired at all.

[0] by no means is it exclusive. The brain is really complicated and there are edge cases all over the place.
> Most will charge at home, work, or other locations that perhaps have a level 2 charger

with the push for cheaper, multi tenant housing where you have many households sharing the same parking lot, how does charging at home work? How do you bill the person charging? What if every spot has its own charger?

Allowing access to city services (street parking) based on land ownership (or lack there of) seems (to me, a software engineer, not a lawyer) like a violation of the equal protection clause.

Where the SCOTUS said yeah this is bad but it's okay because we want to encourage non-homeowners to take the bus. This was decided before there was lots of clear research on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

Allowing homeowners free and easily accessible on street parking encourages more car ownership.
