> For heavy traffic, though, they're useless as the car flow of one entry/exit can take over the roundabout and block all other entries.

Not wrong, but traffic lights can be added to roundabouts as well ("signalized roundabouts")

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCrAPcUzOdw

So if an intersection is (e.g.) four-way, and one particular entrance monopolizes things than it can be given red at times and the others green (and than one-green/three-reds).

See (e.g.) "Performance and Safety of Roundabouts with Traffic Signals" by Tracz and Chodura:

> The paper presents designs, advantages and some drawbacks of various layouts of roundabouts with traffic signals, used in urban arterials on crossings with large traffic volumes. The authors analyze signal settings with alternative phasing used at intersections that can provide the intersection capacity of about 6500 veh/h in 2x2 lanes arterials or even 8000 veh/h in 2x3 lanes arterials. Accident statistics for roundabouts with traffic signals in Krakow are also given and discussed. In addition, presented are practical examples of changes of signalized roundabouts geometry; reconstruction into a form of turbo- roundabout and its effects regarding traffic safety and good performance.

The website says that you can enable the “Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation” flag only on macos; actually on iOS you can access this flag via Settings -> Safari -> Advanced -> Feature Flags. I think this is the ios equivalent to the macos mitigation that the authors are suggesting.
Absolutely not. You now have a computer where you have chromium’s flaws for your daily internet browsing and Safari(or whatever native browser is on the OS)’s flaws for the native apps that use the native browser.

Yes indeed, you’re still free not to use these apps. But would you? At some point why not get a computer where the internet is the “OS” (a chromebook for instance……… where guess what? you cannot use an alternate rendering engine. Interesting, no?)
Google's support is the worst. Have an issue like those random nonsense error messages, good luck getting it resolved. AWS is complete the opposite. I had an issue Aurora Postgres and got to chat with the product manager of the product.

Google could have the best products on the market but no one is going to use them if the support isn't there.

I was sad when Looker got bought by google. I remember having issues with setting up looker and using their chat functionality and having the CEO of Looker answer my question.
There's no doubt that Microsoft is going to stuff ads in every corner of the OS at this point. Ads on the start menu, in Edge, in Solitaire, and now the replacement for Outlook Express. I don't think the good-bad-good cycle will hold for Windows this time. This seems to be a downward spiral.

Hi there. We create FrontAid CMS as another headless, Git-based CMS like Tina. And we integrate directly with Uploadcare.
You can find more information here:

- https://frontaid.io/

- https://frontaid.io/docs/integrations/
A todo.txt file, with a line for each item. As items get turned into DevOps tasks, emails, etc., they are removed. For meeting notes I sometimes create a txt file with the filename YYYYMMDD_meeting_name.txt.
This would be a great White House job. Sit in on meetings that have absolutely any science/math/engineering content, and verify the numbers on whatever is being said. I wouldn't trust most Congresscritters to quantify their way out of a paper bag.

Sorry, I don't mean to be gatekeepery here, but "low income folk at my local bar" is the last demographic I would seek the opinion of on anything scientific or of broader scope than car maintenance.

Anecdotally, my experience is that many of these people love conspiracy theories, and applying "common sense" to global problems like climate change. For example, I've heard these people say that because we got snow in October climate change is a hoax.
> the bullied one gets rich and buys the playground

What version of Elon Musk are you thinking of here? Read literally anything he says and it's immediately clear that he's always been the bully. He wasn't some underdog who was bullied and pulled himself up by his bootstraps to prove everyone wrong, he's the son of an apartheid emerald mine owner who made some good business bets and has now figured out how to scale up his bullying to a national scale. The already-rich bully bought the playground so that nobody could stop him from bullying everyone even more.

> Also note that if you truly believe in freedom for one-to-many publishing of all legal speech (as I do) then an increase in racist publishing is naturally going to be a consequence of that

Ah, the old "I'm free to publish racism but you're not free to call me out when I do so". These free-speech "absolutists" always abandon their morals as soon as they get the opportunity to censor someone who is making fun of them for being a douchebag. It's always about wanting a spout-racism-free card, never about the inalienable rights of mankind.

He might be slightly upset that, being the victim of a crime of recklessness, LAPD took it upon themselves to be free defense attorneys for someone who would likely go on to commit manslaughter.

I used Helix for a while due to its support for LSP out-of-the-box, which my Vim config at the time couldn't live up to. I switched back to NeoVim after finding LunarVim[1] which had everything I was trying to get setup in my own config.

No wonder increasing the defense budget tends to be such an easy sell. It's literally in our bones.
I mean, I don't know why I'm replying to you, but Helix absolutely does try new things that no other editor does the same way, and it's obviously intended as a successor in spirit to vim..

maybe you don't see value in someone trying to improve the modal editing idea that came around forty-odd years ago with vim but someone certainly does

The time and effort isn't the concern, the precedent that a vulnerability isn't severe unless it has a marketing campaign these are setting is, and based on some comments here, it's taking place
> not leave the roundabout unless there is room to do so completely

I don't understand how that helps. The problem is there are too many cars in the rotary, so no amount of not leaving the rotary will unblock it. It seems like you should not enter unless there's room to exit, but on some of these, you can't both see the exiting traffic light and safely merge into moving rotary traffic, so I don't really blame drivers who enter the rotary and find the light turns amber then red on them.

Not entirely related to little tasks from meetings, but when I need to remember something eg. the next morning but I'm already in bed and dont want to get up to write it down etc, I find that a quick way to remind myself is to take something nearby, for example the book on my nightstand or just a crumpled tissue or two, and throw it on the ground where I'll see/stumble over it the next morning and think "why is this here" and then remember.

I hate to say it, but recent history shows me that many of the people who are most afraid of the government are also the most enthusiastic about letting "their guy" do whatever he wants, "laws" be damned. They see the other side as a totalitarian threat, but see our democratic institutions as part of that totalitarian threat.
I didn't either until I did. I think it is more common outside of "tech" companies.
Sure you could ship by barge. It's just that SpaceX has never said that's the plan. Looking at the expanding factory footprint at Boca Chica, it's obvious that this isn't just a test facility, but a production facility. My hunch is that the current limits of 5 per year will be expanded once they prove it "safe" to launch from the site. They'll boil that frog slowly.

ML/AI is a hellfire in itself.

IME, half the instructions got tested just once prior to publication, on the developer's laptop or if you're lucky AWS instance and that's it. No pinned versions of anything, so if you come across something you want to try (or rather, if it gets pushed to your desk by someone higher-up accompanied by a "we need AI now!!!" note) you'll first have to spend hours upon hours trying to pin down Python package versions just to get the Python part to install, then you gotta mess with CUDA versions because obviously these haven't been documented either... Nasty shit.
I generally prefer AWS except for the good experience I've had with cloud run, but GCP getting shut down is not something I would worry about. These cloud services are highly profitable
If they do want to kill it, I can see them giving as little as a 5 year window before everything is shut down.

Odds? Nobody's a fortune teller, but it was still being subsidized by ads with 3B loss in its FY22[0 p. 70], only increasing 100M in profit despite cloud revenue growing from 19B to 26B overall [0 p. 66]. They're either going to need to increase costs or add more "killer" products with large margins if they want to become profitable.

Nope! At least, not really. Not evidence that I would find persuasive, anyway. I can only tell you that I know of a few stories from individuals who tried to get things built on their own property and hit impenetrable walls of bureaucracy at every juncture, while the next patch of land over is suddenly being developed into a $2 billion industrial plant of some kind by GloboOil.

The hypothesis that "money talks" is usually enough to explain stuff like this. Perhaps instead of political favoritism I should have simply said corporate power is always able to find a way around such obstacles and the little guy never is.

I think the biggest thing is that the minimum extra spend if you want in house managed infra is basically the salary of a full time sysadmin + hardware costs.

You can pay for a lot of cloud resources for that much, even when the cloud resources are massively overpriced compared to what you could manage if you had more scale.

The only other alternative is finding someone who's good enough at it to make that full time sysadmin job just a small part of their "actual" job responsibilities, but that person is pretty hard to find.
> Due to that, we must not wait for some allowed moment to ask for change, but demand it every day.

Sadly we're mostly wage slaves in the US and so while we might like to spend all day every day standing outside of the police department shouting or marching in protest we'd quickly lose our jobs, our homes, and perhaps die from the lack of employer provided insurance that makes the medications we need to survive barely affordable.

The system is rigged very well to prevent meaningful sustained protest by keeping us chained to our work for 40+ hours a week, keeping us eating and surrounded by poison to make us sick, and by only giving most people enough money to get by paycheck to paycheck. We're allowed to accumulate debt to keep ourselves entertained though so that when we're too tired to protest from overwork we can still sit in front of large TV screens while we stare at our tiny phones designed to keep us distracted and disconnected from the people around us.

Our best bet is to wait for those brief moments when we're allowed to cast a vote for someone else who doesn't represent our interests.
I also use Helix full time, I really like it, especially the multi cursor features. I was a neovim user before, but I did not enjoy configuring my editor all the time. I like Helix config defaults, LSP works out of the box, the commands are a bit longer to type, but more logical. I cannot work without a file tree, I settled with the tree explorer fork[1] and I'm happy with it.

I think the yield-to-right ones are primarily a traffic calming thing, where the threat to yield limits how fast you can comfortably go through them. They use a lot of yield-to-right intersections in residential areas with poor visibility for the same reason. It's conceptually similar to the 4-way stops on low-traffic streets in the US, just streamlined and formalized.
> When you start the next project, start it in VScode in the beginning.

That's just pushing your preferences onto the kid.

Going through a tutorial works for Vim also.

> copying files back and forth with scp

Wait, why back and forth? If you consistently edit here, and build there, it's unidirectional. A simple update script will do the scp. Copying back and forth will cause confusion. Where is the latest file, remote end or local? Oops, I made parallel changes to both, now what?

Good advice to the novice would be to teach them how to make a simple script to copy the files.

> losing the network connection

If you must work over a terminal connection that drops, use termux or screen. Then you can reattach to a dropped session.

How about ... don't do that? This is not the 1970s; students don't work on a large, shared, departmental machine that wouldn't even fit in their home if they could afford it; you can have all the tools on your own machine.

Debug the program once locally, copy it once to the remote machine, build it there and test it again, done.

Katara has enough of a machine to run scp and Vim; but not actually build and debug the program? Does not compute.

My advice to novices would be that unless you're very lucky, your dad is unlikely to be a good source of advice. Most novices will get better advice from non-dad than dad.

Martin Casado is one of the smartest people I've met in my career in IT (AWS, VMware, etc).

This phrase is key:

"You’re crazy if you don’t start in the cloud; you’re crazy if you stay on it"

Perhaps I'd say that "you're crazy if you keep all your IT on it, as you scale".

There's still a case to be made for a small % of your workloads in the cloud. The flexibility is priceless. But for everything else, there's a well managed on-prem.

Side note: interesting how, after Mark Andreessen's disastrous post on techno-optimism a few days ago, I approached the reading of this article with rolled eyes and low expectations. Seeing Marting Casado as the author immediately changed it, however.

Technology isn't a weakness with Google... never was. Most of their stuff is top-notch technology-wise. The problems are from a business-angle and being their customer.

Meaning, even if you're a F500 company you are an insignificant gnat on the windshield of the gigantic G-machine that makes its money elsewhere.

Now, I don't believe think they'd actually shut GCP down. Cloud is just too damn strategic in a post Y2k world.

Complain about Amazon if you wish, and there are many reasons to. They are not as tech-oriented and the task-master culture of Bezos is well-known by now. But at the very least they are sales and customer focused, and retail and cloud is where they make their money. So incentives are better aligned with them. Even if their customer service is not amazing, the fact that it actually exists is a large factor in their favor.

> I learned vim by doing vimtutor every couple of months to learn more advanced features after getting basic navigation

I think you're missing the point. Should a novice programmer postpone their education by months because they need to satisfy the imaginary pre-requisite of learning vim via vimtutor?

I recommend complimenting the supabase tooling with “external” tooling - pgadmin, direct Postgres libs, etc. Even if you don’t migrate (which we hope you never do) you’ll definitely become more seasoned Postgres developer and you should find that we’re not doing anything too “magical”. Everything you learn with supabase should be transferable
