I suspected as much. Thanks for saying so, maybe I'm not that out of touch yet.
Well, a major difference is that you can discover a GUI and find solutions organically, while the shell is pretty useless without prior knowledge. Even as an experienced user, you need to know to put research into those issues.
A small minority has been trying. A larger number of people (but still a minority) get interested in it, but they don't care about fixing transit. They just care about shoveling money to someone else (unions, contractors, artists...) and transit is one way to do that.

I think it is super interesting to see that such a nice to have feature for such a big platform depends exclusively on a few individuals. I.e. there seems no-one from the Foundation driving this. I would have assumed there are at least one or two people there who would help out with this kind of stuff
Your examples don't explain how both side can possibly be aligned when the differences are large. If they don't align, then the two view are independent and it's hard to see the correspondence. If they do align then... I'm not sure what is the difference between your suggestion and split diff, except th eleft side has less highlights.

So, as I understand it, you are advocating split diff with SUBTLER grey highlights in the current version of the file?

Wealth. Why exactly is this terrible? Seems like wealth should be untaxed. It’s highly volatile in value, subjective, based on taste, and often illiquid and non-divisible.

Also, is Stieglitz is not an American in values, only by paper citizenship. Rights here derive from God, and the government is ruled by the people. This inversion recognizes the appropriate state of socialist moralizers, like Joe, in the hierarchy of human creation and subsequent economic experience.
> “California should immediately begin work to set up regulated treatment guidelines - replete with dosing information, therapeutic guidelines, rules to prevent against exploitation during guided treatments, and medical clearance of no underlying psychoses,” Newsom’s statement said. “Unfortunately, this bill would decriminalize possession prior to these guidelines going into place, and I cannot sign it.”

Advocates are attempting to place two initiatives to expand psychedelic use on the November 2024 ballot.

Most intersections in the Bay Area have magnetic sensors underground to detect cars and expedite a green when appropriate.

Where was this mile-long stretch? 3rd street?
One huge advantage sensor-equiped vehicles have is knowing velocity and acceleration of traffic around them.

Human drivers are often conservative because they don't know the speed/acceleration of a potentially colliding vehicle.

We look at something and estimate (How fast? Speeding up or slowing down?), but we don't know.

If you could put an actual number on it, I think you could drive a lot more "aggressively" and still be perfectly safe.
Only if it remains tolerable, though. I think they're playing around with something pretty risky; they don't integrate with any mobile devices, they don't have a web browser that any sites support, etc. and thus there is not much to keep users from switching away. They're objectively no better than Apple for most use cases, except for games and very niche software. It's a very different world than the late 90s, when they had an OS and a browser monopoly.

(Games might not even be a thing for them for much longer. Mobile games are the most accessible, and again Microsoft is not in any position to get revenue from that trend. People that buy consoles or $1900 graphics cards are not nearly as numerous.)

I am surprised that more corporate IT departments haven't switched to Linux. They can still supply the same $300 laptops, lock them down to the point of unusability, and everyone can use Word in the cloud. I'd be scared if I were Microsoft, and wouldn't want to make switching away look attractive to anyone. No ad revenue from untargeted ads in an email client could possibly be worth losing Windows as the "default" OS.
ls is a good example. Getting the -l output would be very useful for many applications. And would simplify ls itself (e.g. sorting could be done in a separate generig util, which would work with other tools as well). Would also take care of the whitespace horrors.

Many tools don't have "stable CLI interface", which makes them difficult to automate. Apt and git come to mind immediately (although git generally allows specifying formats). Some tools (e.g. ffprobe) support JSON output, which provides very easy "bindings" for it (the actual libav APIs are quite painful).
Yeah, if one wants to have fun debugging all the issues that are still open since Project Reunion was announced in 2020, with less capable tooling than .NET Native and C++/CX, specially fun having to deal with CsWinRT and C++/WinRT, the latter already in maintenance, stuck in C++17, as the team is now having fun with Rust/WinRT.

At least Native AOT might support WinUI in .NET 9, something to look forward to, for anyone that still cares outside Redmond.
> but I didn't know what to ignore

Yep! This is key to a lot of things.

We build up tacit knowledge which influences this ignorability in multiple facets of our lives.
Waymo is amazing, knowing some of the stuff they do behind the scenes to ensure safety - I would feel safer riding in a Waymo than driving myself.

My biggest fear has always been that Cruise or Tesla would shit the bed so bad we don't get any self-driving, either because of regulatory constraints or ruining the public perception of them.
So you poll instead of getting a push?

Thats what my phone does. I could have seen the value of this 10-15 years ago but I don’t see the point now.

It isn’t like this would magically get rid of the delay either, their servers still have to poll before they can send you that notification.
The specific alignment for the Voyager missions was to permit flybyes of all the gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, with only two spacecraft. Both V1 & V2 visited Jupiter and Saturn, with Voyager 2 continuing on to both Uranus and Neptune. All visits were flybyes, that is, the probes were within the vicinity of the target planets, but did not orbit them for any prolonged length of time.

More conservative trajectories giving fewer flybyes but relying on more probes would be possible, and are in fact what we've accomplished with the Gallileo & Juno (Jupiter), Cassini-Huygens (Saturn), and New Horizons (Pluto) spacecraft. There are NASA (U.S.) and Chinese proposals for a return visit to Uranus and Neptune, though those remain in planning stages.

<https://www.space.com/nasa-uranus-orbiter-and-probe-mission-...>

The orbiter missions had a much longer time-on-station. For Gallileo, roughly 7 years 9 months, Cassini-Huygens 13 years, and Juno 7 years to date, with another 5 or more possible.

The Ulysses solar probe also flew past Jupiter, using the planet for an orbital assist to both slow it down to approach the Sun more closely and incline its orbit above and below the planetary plane so that the Sun's poles could be observed directly.
Why is a typical human driver at typical performance the baseline? The bad outcomes from driving come from the poor end of the performance, if the average autonomous vehicle avoids those long tail bad outcomes, some inconveniences like slow turns etc is a very worthy tradeoff.

Autonomous vehicles don't get drunk or sleepy, don't speed, don't leave the scene of an accident...
Same thing happened to me. 10 years ago using Linux on the Desktop was tricky but worth it for me. Now it's almost the opposite, my Linux desktop feels smooth and unobtrusive compared to Windows, and rarely has any problems!

If you do that, you may want to know about this magic to test code that's in a single file Python CLI program: https://linsomniac.com/post/2023-03-21-python_testing_a_cli_...

I like to set up at least some tests on my scripts so that I can reduce the number of times I push something out that is obviously broken. pre-commit can also help with preventing shipping things with syntax errors if you enable the "ast" check, which does a simple syntax check on the code.
So...

Decorators are higher order classes.

Dependency injection (i.e. inversion of control) is not standard OOP.

DI is not the only way to do composition in OOP. OOP gives you the choice of both inheritance and composition. Look at any Python, Rails, or Smalltalk codebase and you will see that things are both composed and inherited.

This post is just a rant. NestJS doesn't work for you? Don't fucking use it, no reason to hate.
Although things are changing, the overwhelming majority of AV miles are generally-safer miles on protected highways. And yet their statistics are typically compared against vehicle miles on all road types.

Further, most AVs explicitly disengage when they encounter situations beyond their understanding. So again, we’re selecting AV statistics based on generally favorable conditions, but we don’t track human-operated miles the same way.

It’s not really a fair comparison.
Yep, Valve have done so much for Linux gaming!

That said, I know they probably did it because of the threat of the windows store vs steam, but we've really benefited.

The probability of a human driver causing a fatality on any given mile driven is 0.00000109% (1.09 fatalities occur per 100 million miles driven).

Applying some basic statistics to show to a 95% confidence level that a self driving system causes fewer fatalities than a human you would have to drive 275 million autonomous miles flawlessly.

This would require a fleet of 100 vehicles to drive continuously for 12.56 years.

And in practice self-driving vehicles don't drive perfectly. Best estimates on the actual number of miles driven to validate their safety is around 5 billion autonomously driven miles and that's assuming that they actually are safer than a human driver.

Then you get into the comparison itself. In practice AVs don't drive on all the same roads, at the same times, as human drivers. A disproportionate number of accidents happen at night, in adverse weather, and on roads that AVs don't typically drive on.

Then you have to ask if comparing AVs to all drivers and vehicles is valid comparison. We know for instance that vehicles with automated breaking and lane assist are involved in fewer accidents.

Then of course if minimizing accidents is really what you care about there's something easy we could do right now: just mandate all vehicles must have an breathalyzer ignition. We do this for some people who have been convicted of DUI but doing it for everyone would eliminate a third of fatalities.
Please do.

The author has written a lot (1000+) of libraries, and earned a certain amount of controversy for how they manage them, and whether all those packages are necessary. I think the most recent controversy was that they switched all of their packages over to the new module system before the ecosystem was ready.

It's one of those names where I tend to raise an eyebrow when I hear it. This looks like something similar to the module/require changes, where the overall change is good, but a slower transition may help people more.
> This reminds me a SV company I worked for a couple years ago. The EM was always going on about impact. I was a staff engineer, needed to have organizational-level impact with my project... on and on. Meanwhile, I'd get so many interruptions for code reviews, meetings, etc. it was almost impossible to get any actual work done.

Been there. The obsession with levels and career ladder documents is too much sometimes. It is so hard to be an IC with constant org-wide impact as opposed to being a manager whose impact is automatically wider due to reporting structure.
I bought our 2008 Odyssey 3.5 years ago at ~163,000 miles, and it's probably going to roll over 200,000 sometime this year. I'm hoping to get it most of the way to 300,000. Maintenance has been well under 1000$/year so far.

I had a similar experience with the 2001 Honda Accord that I drove for ~7 years before we got the Odyssey.
I've been on Mint Cinnamon for probably close to 10 years now after spending the first half of my career developing applications for Windows platform with MS tooling and backend. I saw the direction they were going with Win8 and made the switch and have never looked back.

My main desktop went out of support earlier this year, but it has been so stable I can't be bothered to rebuild it. I have apps for everything I need from photo and video editing and management, to gaming, to productivity and development. My newer laptops have more recent builds and likewise have worked without issue. Really the only speedbump I have are a couple of Windows only things like a Dymo label printer and some automotive tuning software, so I run a dual boot on one XPS 15.

Unfortunately at work I can't run Linux so I use a MBP as it's far better than Windows, however it still infuriates me regularly and I don't use any other Apple products. I've previously contributed to Mint and was recently thinking I need to send some more money, so thanks for the reminder!

Still, it's an improvement over the previous gen and hopefully indicative of a trend.

For some it's also worth the trade of not having to daily drive Windows. It is for me, and I say that also owning a ThinkPad. There's also Linux of course which I find good for "single purpose" machines (e.g. a "study pod" laptop), but making it my primary OS would take a number of changes that I'm not likely to get short of developing my own custom tailored DE.
> expected Waymo to be better than Cruise?

Yes, very much so.

In previous discussions Waymo and Cruise were typically lumped together — “self driving bad” — usually by the original article even! However, my personal experience both as rider and as former Google employee says that Waymo is holding itself to a higher standard and therefore having higher order problems. That’s a lot of nuance for a flame-y topic but this permit revocation is rather unambiguous and I am having a smidge of schadenfreude as a result.

Capitalism wasn't designed for the high-end of the distribution. The rich get richer faster than everyone else, that's easy to show with any kind of simulation, hell even the most simple game economy soon hits this problem of rich-getting richer. Taxation is not even the right way to address it, it's a bad remedy in the age of corporate tourism. And States need to stop gobbling up so much taxes from the lower classes. Most of it goes to military spending and in the case of the EU in the large castes of paper-pushing voters.
Argh. I used to work a lot in open data, including a stint within the open data department of a major city government.

This kind of behaviour does nothing to advance the cause. It just perpetuates the belief that open data and FOI are massive waste of time and resources and open legal risks for no good reason.

I'm also pretty surprised that people think email metadata from government is legitimate open data. Do you think it should be public how many times you have emailed government and gotten a response, and to which departments? I don't.
the entire concept of having the users provide their credentials to a third party for them to access their accounts to provide a service is one of those things that should be included in the anti-phishing training. i don't care if the service doesn't provide a proper API for third party access or not ESPECIALLY if it is for a cloud provided service. if it was a locally running app, i might consider it only slightly less egregious.
I'm pretty sure the plane is "living life vaccinated" and the car is "living life unvaccinated". They both have risks but one is riskier than the other per unit time/distance.

Maybe not an excuse for you, but there are still games that don't work out of the box, and the solutions for third party launchers are still fragmented and/or not feature complete, in comparison to its native Windows client. Let's take Heroic Games Launcher for example, looking at GoG: it does not yet track hours played nor achievements (they have work in progress [1]); Lutris on the other hand doesn't even have cloud Sync.

Proton is also no complete, perhaps one day it'll be, it's not quite there yet. I've stumbled on some games that don't work (Obscure 1, Resident Evil 0, Dark Messiah, etc) and games that didn't work in the past but now works, with some flaws that are hard to distinguish between Windows' and Linux's fault (Thief: Deadly Shadows).

YMMV. Just yesterday, I discovered that the Debian installer doesn't include support for UFS drives, which have been available in laptops for 3+ years now.

(Explaining to my wife why I was returning the laptop I'd just bought wouldn't have been a great endorsement for "Linux runs out of the box".)

Can you expand on that a little bit? What are the reasons that you believe that AVs are "not scalable at all?"
That's entirely accurate! I think marketing is the only way they got to the status they have because while the cameras take decent video/images the entire rest of the experience is miserable. I almost returned my GoPro MAX because of the phone app being garbage. I almost wish I had. That's $500~ I didn't have to spend because it hasn't gotten a ton of use to begin with and partially that's because the software was so clunky I felt like I couldn't really get anything usable out of it.

The experience was better when I tried downloading Insta360's 360 video editor! Still not sure what to do with the 360 camera anymore lol but that's my own problem not gopro's.
If only there existed a viable Remote Desktop alternative for Linux.

I use Remote Desktop to log into my home PC when I'm at work or away. No need to have a powerful laptop and no need to worry about laptop getting stolen.

Tried all the Linux alternatives (latest round was last year). Yes there are functional remote desktop solutions, where functional means it actually works. But they're not really usable on a day-to-day basis and none of them are anywhere near the RDP experience.

I see some developments on the horizon which make me a bit hopeful though.

When I pay attention to a thing, I direct the beam at that thing.

When I concentrate, the beam narrows.

When I refrain from all directing and concentrating, the beam widens.
