I'd just been on holiday to Japan and one thing that really stood out to me was how social some of the bars (and it's a bit of an assumption on my part but the restaurants in the article) are.

I suppose by now everybody is fairly familiar with Golden Gai in Tokyo now but the concept of these mini bars only seating a few known regulars does not seem to be limited to just Tokyo. I found similar setups in Kyoto and Kanazawa.

These tiny bars seem to fulfil this need for a 3rd place. To help facilitate the social aspect of them, the owner of the bar will tend to make introductions between the people that are visiting (rather than say the Australian model where the bar is kind of a "rented space" to hang out with your friends).

I've also discovered very niche bars in Tokyo, dedicated to Punk music, or Jazz etc. A place for those with similar tastes to come together and hang out and talk about these similar interests.

I'd love to bring this concept back to Australia but the liquor laws here prevent something like this from being financially viable due to the requirements around the size of the bar, available toilets (the mini bars all shared one central toilet) etc. The attitudes around alcohol were very different as well. At at Jazz festival in Kanazawa, bars were free to open stalls out the front and sell drinks to those watching gigs in the laneways. Young kids were free to mix with adults who were drinking and having a good time (here is an example of what I mean: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMS1Z-NymXvHBCcfb4sxrp7...)

I use custom filters, small C programs, that extract the URLs, descriptions and other info from various SERPs, e.g. DDG, and output SQL or simple HTML. This makes it very simple to exclude/include results based on strings in domains, paths or descriptions. I like to mix results from different search engines into a single SERP comprised of simple, regular HTML. No nonsense.
>I always find it interesting when people talk about their rights in these contexts. If the government can legally conscript you, surely you don’t have any rights?

there are rules in russia about how conscription/etc works. medically fit, mentally stable, etc. ever since they started mobilization they just rubber stamp paperwork that says that they are fit without any medical examination

just an example
How might you do things different, if you were to have a second chance at that experience?
Forcible conscription means all of the volunteers are occupied or dead. Putin is pressing criminal prisoners and disliked minorities into service with little training or logistics as bodies to feed monsters of war on the western front, and continue the carnage until he incorrectly believes interest in aid to Ukraine will subside. At the endpoint of when Putin will eventually have to conscript muddle-class Muscovites, teenagers, and elderly men, that horse hair holding the Sword of Damocles over his head is more likely to give way. A substantial number of Russian men of fighting age have already hidden themselves or fled the country.

Unfortunately yes. That being said, the hottest loops that would benefit the most from added parallelism tend to have fewer side effects already in my experience so things aren't quite so bleak.
> insurance claims are linked to the number of property crimes independent of what police report.

I'm stating that these two variables (insurance claims) and (police reported crimes) aren't independent variables but actually closely linked.
Maybe you'll get as many answers as there are hackers here but from my own perspective it seems it went the same way as all other communities. Internal strife, odd personalities, personal differences tore them apart slowly.

It's not all bad. In my city it seems the hacker spaces organized by individuals were replaced by maker spaces funded and organized by the city. At least two that I know of, that are now basically free co-working spaces with 3D printers, meeting rooms, free wifi and such.

One is run by the agency that ran the ccTLD back in the early 2000s, called Goto10 in Malmö and Stockholm. Very nice space to work at.

The other is run by the city of Malmö called Stapeln and is in a basement.

Besides those I know of at least two hacker spaces run by individuals that were still going last I checked.

The pandemic hit them pretty hard of course.
Interesting that they're moving the other way. My impression has always been that there is a sort of social taboo on not getting married in the US when you have kids. Nice to see that finally changing.
Hah, I'm surprised he mentioned Lauterbach at all. It's ruthlessly powerful, but not remotely hacker / user friendly.
Don't know the OP's region, but my region, Europe passed a consumer protection law, that says basically that we must be able to opt out of tracking and automated profiling, if we choose so, without disruption to the service.

Laws have consequences, but without consumer protection laws, the consumers are be walked over by the corporations every time, everywhere.
> Marriage gives the partner a claim on a big chunk of the man's assets, so it incentivizes women to divorce their husbands

Mainly in the west is it unfair and broken that way. Perhaps they should look into fixing their marriage/divorce contracts.

The first paragraph was a direct response to your "you can give it to someone you trust" claim.

The second paragraph wasn't related to your response, it was related to prior posts by others and just an add-on for the discussion at large (in case anyone's even still reading it, which I doubt).
You can generate it from code.

Diagrams are a flat map of someone's subjective and structured, interpretation of the code architecture.

Words displayed on a computer screen must be developed into supporting subjective knowledge structures.. free from the usual objective mindset of engineering.

You have to go up to first order concepts to get it. The vast majority of (popular) programming culture generates more of the same. Everybody tries to paper over this truth with metadata and it metaphysically does not work.

Computers are capable of much more, they are politically limited down to a small subset of what's possible.
Unix /Dev/Fd and Dup(2)
Even those are at risk if the key can be cracked in a matter of minutes, since it takes 10 mins on average from publishing your spending transaction to it getting mined, and the attacker can doublespend it with a much larger fee.

>and placing yourself above them.

Like you did by downvoting?

Are you young? Because this comment shouldn't be offensive unless you're harboring doubt about immature decisions you've made. For everyone else, it's a tongue in cheek poke at the bad decisions I made when I was younger. Statistically, people tend to leave the city when they get older. If you're insulted by that, you probably still belong in the city.

Maybe you should look inward instead of downvoting, or offering explanations that presume a lesser understanding in your audience.

Looking up to experience isn't a bad thing. It shows maturity. How's that for a punchy finish?

In the book "Death's End" by Cixin Liu, the final book of the "Three Body Problem" trilogy - they explore the problem of data storage that has to last for millions of years.

In their case they end up having a "Museum of Humanity" that exists in man-made caves in Pluto specifically meant to merely have information carved into the walls as all digital and other physical formats weren't deemed sufficient.

I suspect these data formats are similarly not sufficient.
Yes, extremely easily.
> exactly-once semantic without too much efforts: by keeping track of the positions of partitions in your own database and carefully acknowledging them when you are sure data is safely stored in your db

That's not really "exactly once". What happens when your system dies after it made sure the data is safely stored in the db and before ack-ing?
IMO the source code to aspects of the system that are best shown as graphs should be the graphs.
Nah. Modern chips generally have great ESD protections. If you aren't creating a spark, it's probably not gonna kill it.

The only time I need ESD straps is if I'm working with genuine old school metal gate 4000 series CMOS chips or some whacky, super sensitive input that ESD circuitry is omitted from because the leakage will mess it up (high end RF and ADC spring to mind).
I can't tell from your comment if you know this or not, but R1T already has one motor per wheel.
I understand his critique of the stats, but I wonder if Mr. Bruenig disagrees with the author’s points of view.

In particular I wonder what he thinks would be best for his own kids. He seems to be, per wikipedia, married to a high-school friend (sweetheart?) for almost a decade with two kids.

While I do not think his personal actions have any bearing on the accuracy of his statistical critiques of the author, it does seem like his revealed preferences support the author’s points of view. I would be shocked if he believes the health of his marriage has no bearing on the overall wellbeing of his kids.

Regardless, I wish him and his wife a long and happy marriage, because I believe that would be the best outcome for both of them and their kids.

“The trip must be between 200 and 300 miles. Their research indicates this is the sweet spot between being more than a convenient car ride, but less then a convenient plane ride. I'll note that LA -> LV is ~180 miles, whereas LA -> SF is ~340 miles.”

That’s a function of the train speed. If the train traveled at 300 mph, then LA<->SF becomes faster than Brightline’s 180 mile LA to Vegas route, which looks like it will average 100 mph.
Am I the only one imagining this kind of tech eventually turning into something like an electron gun. Sort-of like a real world version of the laser guns in sci-fi? I can imagine basically having a bank of these in a gun where you can shoot a burst and then it would over heat like a plasma gun in warhammer 40k, and you have to wait a bit. Or maybe you can get around this by having some kind of liquid nitrogen cooling system. Of course this could also be used in industry, as a replacement for plasma torches for example. Your only “fuel” would be electricity and you could recirculate the liquid nitrogen into some kind of condenser (compressor?) to be reused. Maybe it could even be used in propulsion in small cube satellites. Obviously right now the tech is in the very early days but these are just some things I can imagine could be possible as the technology matures.
During the pandemic, I bought a Chinese JBC clone that takes real JBC tips. Temperature calibration was possible and it heated up fast enough, but not like a real JBC station. For 15% of the price, it's a steal and close enough.

Also got a 100 Mhz oscilloscope with paid options but hackable to 200 MHz, WiFi (COTS USB), and a 16-channel IIRC logic analyzer.

Picked up an Agilent PSU with a bad fan. That was an easy fix. Will have to calibrate it but it's already pretty close.

Then I spent too much money on a Fluke 289 DMM. The price went up significantly now, I wouldn't recommend it now.

In general, buy used, repair, and recycle.
Ballarat Hackerspace member checking in here.

Hackerspaces require ongoing work and support. They aren't great businesses, but are great community spaces. To that end, you need an ongoing commitment of people to provide their time, resources, and effort.

We are extremely lucky in Ballarat that we have such a group of committed members, as well as very generous sponsorship. We've paid that back through ongoing community involvement and releasing many free resources, but we are lucky to be in that position.
>Some authors write a novel in 6 weeks, but others take years to polish it.

I think 5 years might be too short for a novel, but regardless, the lesson here is: don't publish your work until it's ready. Copyright protection should start when it's published, not when the first word was typed.

>If save all your garbage and find the notes from your rough draft that you started more than 5 years ago

Maybe there should be a provision about rooting through someone's trash? This seems a rather rare edge case.

Mojo is still quite far in vaporware land as far as Python compatibility goes, but they do claim to target much higher level of compatibility than eg Crystal.
We had an older gmc, and it was great. A newer one came from the factory with a bug that would zero the battery in under eight hours sometimes (it left the ABS on). This happened on the first tank of gas. The local chevy dealer refused to fix it and claimed our warranty was void at ~ 125 miles because the dealer we bought it from new had installed some counterfeit electrical components. (There was a factory recall for our exact problem)

That was the least of that truck’s problems. Never buying a GM product again.

Also, the old v8 GMC had a carburetor, but still had better fuel economy than the new v8 GMC with fuel injection and that turned off half the cylinders when possible.

Our Ram is slightly better, but still pretty damn bad vs the old GMC. I’d recommend any other brand over GM or Stellantis at this point.

Hey 0xcrypto, I'm very sorry if I gave the impression that we weren't open to discussing anything further on the original issue. After my message, we only received a short comment from you. The issue actually will be still open for a short while just in case you want to discuss further details. Let's continue the conversation there.

Yeah, you’re actually right. I’m travelling around Taiwan now and it does get a bit crowded to the point you can’t really figure out what is what. And by the time you can unlock your phone you gotta move to make space for people coming from behind.
> Foxconn's founder Terry Gou is running as an independent candidate in Taiwan's presidential election that is due to take place in January.

For those following the Taiwan election, this explains a lot. China wants the Taiwanese ruling party, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), to lose, and it wants the Beijing-friendly Kuomintang (KMT) to win. But Terry Gou could not get the nomination to run for KMT, so he ran as an independent candidate. This makes KMT and related opposition even weaker against DPP in the coming election.

Hence the tax inspections at Foxconn, which is owned by Terry Gou. This might deter Terry Gou from running in the election.

But the flip side is that the Chinese economy desperately needs foreign investments, so punishing Foxconn may scare away foreign investments and hurt China even further.
And if the executive branch decides to ignore the ruling, there isn't anything the Supreme Court can do about it.

See: Worcester v. Georgia

This is one of the problems with a Supreme Court that is making rulings that the majority of people don't agree with. If the Supreme Court loses its legitimacy and the other branches simply start ignoring it, it will take a lot of work to get any power back.

Trains are quite a bit less hassle than flights. I can buy the ticket the day of without it popping to some ridiculous price. I can take a train leaving at any time. I've got plenty of room. There's no large list of luggage size and weight rules, onerous security, and all that other nonsense.

The fact that I literally do not have to think about the train and just go, with basically the same convenience as say driving a car and I get free fast wifi, cell signal, plenty of space to do work, comfortable seats even at the basic price ... even slow high speed rail between SF and LA I'd take every time, hands down. No question. If it was actually decent modern high speed (300mph+) I'm never looking back.

Although knowing the US, it'll probably be some kind of perverse inconvenient complicated time consuming hellish nightmare

~.1 micron. Pretty small feature size. Typical letters might be 30 by 15 dots in a 10pt font with their 150DPI assumption. But it's not -that- exotic.

A cheap compound optical microscope might do .4 micron, resulting in letters being 8 times and 4 times the spatial resolution. This is in the range where things are slightly annoying in fuzziness but still easily legible.

My crappy LCD microscope for my classroom cost about $50 and has a resolution of roughly 1 micron. It could probably read, with difficulty, 12pt text.

The explination for his behaviour is quite simple and doesn't necessarily have to be explained through disease: his childhood spent on rhe road through Western states and then at the Sultan Murad the 2nd court. He saw lots of violence and hated obedience towards the sultan. Of course he wanted to impale just about any ottomans after that. The rest are stories made up by the tradespeople who did not want to pay taxes to him.

They are more often informed well enough to choose some endorsing body to delegate that decision to, and it's better that they have a choice of such endorsing bodies than a single one they may not agree with.

What goes horrifically wrong if there are multiple certifying authorities for medical practitioners, with varying criteria, and various meta-organizations making recommendations about which certifying authorities are better than others, and people make informed decisions accordingly? Some people will absolutely make ill-informed decisions, and those should still be their decisions to make. That seems preferable to the world in which someone can't see the specialist they want to see because they're in another jurisdiction.
Yep. The traditional sub-interpreters system in Python still used the single shared GIL so it wasn't a solution for parallelism. But just recently the "per-interpreter GIL" was implemented, it shipped in Python 3.12.

Like Matt, I am a supporter of the state providing a solid safety net on basic needs (food, health care, self-improvement, safety) to ALL its and pay for it by taxing the well-off citizens more than the average although unlike him, I would not describe myself as a socialist.

Marriage is many things, but amongst them, it is also a safety net for the children of that marriage. At its best, it brings the resources of two extended families and friend networks together to support the couple and the children. I wonder if Matt would agree with the view that Marriage is the most “atomic” form of socialism (which he seems to support)
