Crosswalk lights in the US may have audio but usually not the roadway lights, and depending on the jurisdiction the crosswalk may not always get the light at the same time as the roadway, not to mention that you may not hear it if you are at the centermost lane of a road four or five lanes wide in each direction.
And my point is that this problem has been whined to death, with absolutely no concrete suggestions on how to fix it. All I've ever read is complaints about how some-or-another software should be better, and surprise! the author knows absolutely nothing about the codebase or the tradeoffs being managed. It's lazy armchair software engineering.
I won't join a union, and neither would most other engineers; but I love the idea of a professional body with some ideals and standards.
> As someone from Europe, I can't understand the inability of mainstream US culture and media to disentangle marriage from long term stable relationships.

In the US, the category of non-marriage stable long term relationships is very small. The veneer of christian morality still exists in America, even if the substance has rotted away. So anyone who is in a stable long term relationship tends to just go ahead and paper things up. Even people in unstable relationships tend to just get married and have three or four divorces.
> You basically have to know how it works to use it and maintain it.

Not really, at least not any more so than with any other OS. Linux hasn't been that way for a long time, unless you're using a distro specifically intended for a more technical audience.
>Admittedly, I stopped reading just over half way, but the crux of the argument appeared to be that software should be fast, though I don't recall any justification for that philosophy other than suggesting that it is basically a truth.

But it is the truth, and all we have to do is simply look at software from the point of users.

What device did You use to write this comment? Iphone4, or 14?
What device do You use as your workstation, some pentium with 4gbs of ram?

Heck, even going outside the software itself, but to related branch - What network did your device talked to servers?

At the end of the day, actions speak louder then words.
And you can pretend all You want that "wanting faster software" is unproven axiom, but if the axiom is followed by literally all of society, it might as well be taken as truth.

I’m absolutely, unequivocally, happiest at my job when I’m simply making things better.

I loathe building new features, adding new functionality, starting yet another product launch, etc. Yet it feels like 80% of my time at my job is doing the above, probably more.

nobody will complain if your software is faster, or simpler, or just plain better. And I can happily spend the remaining years of my career making that happen.

Software developers need to quit building yet another front end framework, and get back to the actual engineering aspects of making things more performant. IMO, it’s far more rewarding.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wikipedia Announces Historic Agreement with Elon Musk: Name Change for One Year in Exchange for Billion Dollar Contribution

Here, Now — Wikipedia, the world's largest online encyclopedia, is pleased to announce a groundbreaking contribution from entrepreneur and innovator Elon Musk. Elon Musk has pledged a generous donation of one billion dollars to Wikipedia in exchange for the renaming of the beloved online resource to "Dickipedia." If for some reason Elon Musk does not provide the money promised, Wikipedia will change Elon Musk's name into Dishonest Assfungus in every Wikipedia page and Wikimedia resource.

>No, this is highly dependend on the definition of "freedom".

I'm talking about the freedom you, (as in you personally, not the billionaires) have today to buy things you want. Let's say it's a book. Should you be allowed to buy a book for say, 20 dollars?

If a 100 million other people enjoy that same freedom to buy the same book, you have a billionaire author. How do you prevent that from happening? Honest question, I don't see any way to prevent it.

"Billionaires shouldn't exist" is thought number 1 that people get when they see what some of them are up to, and I certainly sympathize, but the only chain of reasoning I've seen that goes beyond thought 2 is the writings of Karl Marx. And where his thoughts end, thoughts from Stalin, Mao and the like always always follow. They are billionaires too btw, just way worse than the ones we have.

I think the solution is strong laws and vigilant control to prevent corruption. If for example the punishment for corruption was confiscation of all your assets and it was actually enforced, I think we'd come a long way. It would almost certainly get rid of a lot of billionaires too, so maybe we have some common ground there after all. ;-)
The fact that Greek did not have a word for blue is a myth without any ground.

Already in Homer the word for blue was "cuaneos", which means of the color of "cuanos", like "chruseos" (golden) means of the color of "chrusos" (gold).

"Cuanos" was initially the name for the blue pigment that now is named "ultramarine blue", which was an expensive pigment imported from Afghanistan.

Later, "cuanos" was also used as a name for other cheaper blue pigments that could be used to substitute the expensive ultramarine blue, i.e. for the azurite mined in Cyprus and for the artificial pigment "Egyptian blue".

The English word "cyan" comes from the Greek word "cuaneos", but due to a misunderstanding it is used now for blue-green, despite the fact that it was never used for blue-green by the Greeks. In the Ancient Greece and Rome, when blue-green had to be distinguished from green, it was specified as the color of the beryls, or as the color of turquoise, or as the color of the littoral sea.

While in Greek there was an unambiguous word for blue, what was missing was a word for green. Green is mentioned very rarely in what I have read, and when it is mentioned they use one of the following expressions: the color of the emeralds (smaragdinos), the color of grass (poodes) or the color of leek (praseos).

In the early Greek authors, "chloros" that is now used to mean green in many scientific terms was not used for green, but perhaps for yellow or yellow-green, e.g. Homer uses "chloros" for the color of some honey.

I'd compare the 2% tax to the average yearly gain in the stock market. Based on https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/average-stock-m... it appears that the overage again is about 7% to 10% depending on how you figure it. The rule of thumb that I've heard in investing is 5%.

Therefore, my conclusion is that a 2% wealth tax on the ultra-wealthy on average wouldn't even keep them from gaining wealth; they would just increase their wealth more slowly.

I need to take another look at this. I've recently started working with RDF data on a scale of ~50 million URIs not including properties and statements, there's a ton of suplicates in there. I loaded a 10k entity subset of this and OpenRefine found all of the duplicates I had manually found plus others that I guess were 'similar'. Really cool, but it crashed when attempting to merge entities together. I've got a pipeline transforming the original JSON dataset to RDF, maybe it would work better working with the looser structure. What scale of CSV data did you have?

The thing is that if the market has already determined that Tesla's range and charge time is OK, then building a car with the same range with the shiny new tech just makes the whole vehicle lighter, by an unsubtle amount. It's hard to tell from the press release, but the implication is that they've doubled the energy density. Right now if you assume 500kg of battery and you replace that with 250kg of battery in otherwise the same 2000kg car (which is now 1750kg), that's a 12% weight saving. That's going to show up as a measurably longer range all on its own.

I looked after the XI editor mentioned here and found it being deprecated. Looked at the article again and learned it's from 2018.

But I get the argument. Software should be fast and reliable, but making it fast is not what the customer pays for, when it's good just enough.

Having the problem to always start at the bottom is what discourages people to start again. A company in the EU would be needed to build a smartphone and software on par with iOS and Android but we'll never get there.
Saying that you will not answer questions w/o a lawyer present is not a reason for them to hold you. They can of course break the law and use that to detain you and if they do that you should not resist.

If you answer the cop's idle questions about drugs or weapons in the car, then you are inviting the cop to analyze your answer and use it as an excuse to get inside of your car or arrest you, and inviting more problems. Refusal to answer the question and asserting your right is not a suspicious action, and they are legally required to stop asking your such idle questions at that point.

Once you are handed your license back, the stop is over. Your detention is over at that point and you are free to go.

Driving off is not arguing with the police - it's going about your business. If you consent to stay after the stop is over while they bring a dog, then you are basically consenting to a search of your car.

This is not helpful, except to those that benefit from a lack of controls. Pursuing the perfect law is ridiculous, conceptually. The history of the US has been predicated on eventual alignment with populist goals. Some Americans have heard of "the amendments" to a specific document, to this aim.
The show Legion had an excellent vignette about this very topic near the end of season 2. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHj2slKBF98 for reference). I thought it was pretty well done, although it doesn't really answer any questions, just raises the topic.

Maplibre[1] + PMTiles + Felt's "tippecanoe"[2] (it can output .pmtiles) are an awesome combination for self-hosted web maps if you're ok with being locked into a Web Mercator projection

for pretty much any geospatial source you can convert to .pmtiles via GDAL[3] and tippecanoe
(.shp .gpkg ...) | ogr2ogr -> .geojson | tippecanoe -> .pmtiles

for OpenStreetMap data there's planetiler[4], and and openmaptiles[5] styles that work with Maplibre

with those combinations you've got a great start to something you can host for pennies on AWS S3+CloudFront or Cloudflare R2, with an open source data pipeline

The parties on the fringe usually criticize bs rather than the real problems, because they at most don't care of improving the EU.

In the best case when it doesn't work well it's a convenient target to blame (when it's their own fault).

In other cases they'd like the freedom to be *more* (much more) authoritarian than EU membership allows.

But currently let's be honest, most simply work for Putin or China and the aim is just to wreak havoc.

If all of the urbanites changed their minds and moved to rural areas, there would be no more rural areas. The suburban sprawl would just end up creeping in and destroying the nature that exists there.

Feel as irked as you want about it, you're free to continue whatever lifestyle you please, but the ecological footprint of rural living is an order of magnitude higher than that of urban living. Rural living, outside those with careers in agriculture, is not scalable or sustainable.
> Is there a safe way to perform this work for a lifetime and not burn out?

Yes, if you destroy capitalism and wash away this weird bourgeois conception of having a "career", so you can actually do work that cares for other people....
Why, exactly, does it need to be said?

We have a mountain of evidence showing that, even when there are good cops, the moment they cross paths with bad cops, the bad cops either convert them to their side or get them removed from the force.

These are not marginalized people who need their stories told. These are members of a quasi-military group full of self-proclaimed neo-Nazis with effective legal immunity from murdering random citizens of our country, and, as another comment aptly noted, a significantly higher propensity for violence and unwillingness to accept that other people have a right to live—or do much of anything else, it often seems. Moreso if those "other people" are people of color, queer, disabled, or otherwise marginalized.

"But there are lots of really good cops!" just screams of apologism and a desire to salve the egos of the poor mistreated fascists.
A bit unrelated, but one thing I absolutely love is the fact you can install it by copying a single file to a folder in your PATH.

It was broken because of a mathematical breakthrough using theory lurking in the dark corners of math. The protocol itself was also using some somewhat dark corner of math.

Believe it or not, back in the 90s we thought (on the whole) that web browsers were for browsing hypertext documents. Not for replacing the operating system. There's a reason JS started out limited to basic scripting functionality for wiring up e.g. on-click handlers and form validation. That it grew into something else is not indicative of any design fault in JS (tho it has plenty), but with the use it was shoehorned into. The browser as delivery mechanism for the types of things you're talking about is... not what Tim Berners Lee or even Marc Andreesen had in mind?

Back then "the network is the computer" people ended up shipping thin X clients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Computer in order to do richer applications.

I have very mixed feelings about WASM. There is a large... hype-and-novelty screen held up in front of it right now.

There are many Bad Things about treating the web browser as nothing more than a viewport for whatever UI designer and SWE language-of-the-wek fantasy is going around. Especially when we get into things like accessibility, screen readers, etc.

As for the people treating WASM as the universal VM system outside the browser... Yeah, been down that road 30 years ago, that's what the JVM was supposed to be? But I understand that's not "cool" now, so...

Sigh.
I'm not saying that urbanites should move to rural areas, I'm saying they should stop trying to legislate against development and stop blocking job-creating projects in rural areas because they are worried it will disrupt a biking trail they visit once every few years.

> Rural living, outside those with careers in agriculture, is not scalable or sustainable.

I have no idea what you mean by this. Everyone outside of the city isn't a rancher or farmer. Ag is a huge industry with a lot of opportunity, but not the only game in town.

If you're talking about population density, we could easily double the number of people in my area with very little change in observable density. In the sq mile that I live there is only one other family.

Combine remote work with low property taxes and lower real estate values, living in a rural area is increasingly attractive and makes a hell of a lot of sense to those interested in that lifestyle.

- Buddy of mine built a stock exchange stack, speaking the same protocol, and we had PvP contests on who could market make the best on it. I won with a PHP powered marketing making bot with live code reloading.

- Built a cardboard box out of scrap electronics from adafruit that would let me adjust a market maker bots net position by tilting the box from side to side.

- Was either #2 or #3 to solve all the challenges

On the business side, if I recall correctly, most companies wanted to just shove the winners down their existing bad hiring pipeline process, and a lot of successful contestants who showed up already had great jobs, and so weren't actually looking.
