There's more parking lots and roads reserved for cars then there's space for people to walk. When people think of walkable towns they mean something like this: https://youtu.be/zDLa-uCq9Ws?t=137

Car free zones, shops, restaurants and pedestrians taking up 90% of the space, mixed. Not one lonely sad mall. It's not an exgaratation to say when you pull up an aerial google map shot of a US suburb, there's more asphalt than people or buildings.

Ahh I didn't grok that, Thx it makes sense now.
By now solid state equipment can do everything tubes do, only better. I think only nostalgia and audiophile stupidity remain as reasons for tube equipment to continue existing. Certainly there is no reason to build new tube gear.

Admittedly cheap solid state gear sounds worse than high quality tube gear but that has way more to do with good design and quality components than the tubes themselves.
>Does having an AI book the tickets for you meaningfully change the things for you, the customer?

Of course it does. You don't think replacing humans in the full service travel industry wouldn't drive down costs and upgrade capabilities and experience could be a thing?
I have one guy - I know EVERYTHING about him. I keep telling his contacts to let him know he keeps giving out the wrong address. We're talking very sensitive contractual stuff. I figure it's on him by now.

The best is when the lawyers get all official with me. Yeah, no - this is your mistake, don't get all uppity that you sent sensitive stuff to the wrong address.

From time to time I think about responding with a Goatse, but that's too much even for me.
I’m sure that it’s easier, but I think you’re pretty much stuck doing it DIY.

Don't be too happy as SecureBoot will not make you want too long until required to register your free software in some 3-4 letter government agency to be able to boot it. At least in Europe.
A blown head gasket is one of the easiest things to diagnose and repair. You can do it in your home garage with basic tools. But finding a faulty temp sensor that is throwing a code that in turn disables throttle response ... that requires a cloud-based network solution to properly lookup the deliberately cryptic error code.
I mean you say they’re well defined but your own explanation is a vague generalization. I don’t think any decent & rational person wants to deprive trans people of basic human rights, but that doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with every single demand of activists either, which is probably the actual intent of the message.

As for the “no nazi bullshit” part, this doesn’t tell me anything except that the community has some childish and unstable people who have a habit of calling everyone they disagree with a nazi. It’s not hard to be “worried that that includes you” when there are plenty of people who would call someone a nazi for just about anything or for being even slightly to the right of them on any issue.

It has very little to do with a literal interpretation of these words, which these types always hide behind because they are cowards, and everything to do with the implicit meaning given broader context.
One thing that's noticeable is most of those projects are Linux-only and many of them are around GNOME / GTK ecosystem. Most of those projects have no Windows versions. The ones that have them have really bad compatibility with it (e.g. GIMP, GTK3). Meson has a preference of simpler code bases leaning more on the C-heavy side. That's usually not the case with big, old and commercial C++ code bases.

The programs that need complex build systems that require things like compiling a code generator first and then compiling the rest of the project with the generator etc. are quite common in C++ world to tame the language's shortcomings. Libraries like Qt, Protobuf and GRPC often introduce a crazy amount of build complexity.

CMake's complexity is directly result of that and it is currently the only build generator that can cope with that using basically every compiler in existence (including proprietary ones like ARMCC, ICC, MSVC and very limited ones like SDCC). Even Bazel cannot handle the same number of compilers and feature sets. That's the thing that makes CMake gold standard not its string-driven scripting language.

CMake shares quite a bit history with C++ and you hear sentences like "it's the only thing that works for this level of complexity" for both.
Depending on the code you're running, calling convention can matter a lot. The SysV ABI will use xmm/ymm/zmm automatically, whereas on Windows you have to opt into it with __vectorcall.

Article is missing some key details. Every industrial robot that I've seen has at least a line painted in the floor, or more often a physical barrier, and workers are required to stay behind it when the robot is powered on. Did this factory not have such basic precautions, or did the dead worker violate protocol, or did another worker turn on the robot at the wrong time?
it's not even the first this year. But yeah, from https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67354709 (non-paywalled coverage of the same story) it sounds very much like not doing lockout/tagout or at least hitting the e-Stop before inspecting something.

I keep saying that, come next general renovation, I want the flat to be cabled like ships in Star Trek are - with cable routes being walled only in half, like C instead of an O, with the open side masked by panels that can be removed to access the wiring, whether to inspect, repair or replace. After all, isn't it ridiculous that to do anything with cables, one has to pretty much demolish the whole flat first?

Everyone rolls their eyes at me when I say this, and for some reason no one has seen such installations, nor heard of anyone doing them. Am I crazy or what?

Seems fine? Our house has Cat5e going back to ~2008 (before we owned the house). It supports my 2.5Gbps PoE AP uplinks.

We're about to remodel and this has me thinking I should go to Cat8.2. Maybe a thousand bucks in cable? If that? I'll also add fiber for the furthest reach of the house for "future-proofing" but fiber is the tech that keeps being promised Real Soon Like Now but nobody's using it for their devices.

Sony's tvs are broken into price tiers, they have low end ones with garbage picture quality, medium tier tvs with better picture and a better CPU, and high end ones with excellent image quality.

Sony is not known for the quality of their software...
Depending on your hardware UEFI boot manager can be a PITA. I have a Dell one where a normal boot to grub/sd-boot takes 5s. But if I want to go to the uefi boot menu for some reason it takes 30+ seconds and from what I can observe, an intermediary reboot. And I end up in some monstrous UEFI GUI with an abysmal mouse cursor behaviour.
Bullshit. If somebody actually died here it's an atrocious way to report it.

But the idea that it would even be a concern for there to be “nazi bullshit” in a programming language would require such an absurdly broad definition of nazi that i can only assume whoever wrote this would consider a large % of Americans to be Nazis. This is inherently exclusionary. The statement is bullshit. It isn’t “Friendly <3” as the heading would suggest.
I see :-)

Well, it's not that I have anything against blinking cursors, nor I'm trying to infringe on their rights. Rather, it is that seeing the cursors blinking kind of freezes my brain. I simply cannot code if the cursor in the editor is blinking. It's a common problem[1][2].

That feels a little “no true scotsman” to me. Like sure, if implemented correctly, Shift Left isn’t “developers are now also testers and can sign off on stories”. But in practice, it often becomes that. And while some may say that “that’s not Real Shift Left”, I’d argue that if a practice works great if you do it right but almost always fails the same way when you actually try to do it… well, that’s a problem with the practice itself.

Sure. Proposition accepted.

Now please consider this: the reason why so many devs are disenchanted is because they are being told that the software industry is like that 1%, when in fact, 99% of it isn't.

With this in mind, perhaps we should teach people about this "software engineering" vs "software plumbing" distinction. I suspect we are doing a bad job of orienting young professionals because of some outdated status hierarchy such that "engineering is for nobles" and "plumbing is for the pleb", which leads us to present software engineering as the ideal to strive for. Rather, we should identify the people who show an appetite for the noble profession of plumbing and steer them in that direction. While we're at it, we can paint a more realistic picture of their economic prospects, job security, work-life balance, etc.

There is no need turn this into yet another theory-vs-practice debate. That's a false dilemma. The best work gets done when both players collaborate.
And it's why, when paying like that, you're typically paying more than would have done in cash, or the amount is high enough to cover the extra transaction fees. That's definitely the case for most UK carpark operators - the minimum amounts you can specify online are always higher than the ones for cash, because of transaction fees.

You're probably also misjudging how tiny those amounts are. Vending machines, for example, nowadays don't really stock anything costing less than £0.50, if they take credit cards. Public toilets can often be £1 or £2.

[Sigh] Sounds are misunderstanding what I meant by determinism, my apologies. Of course a given instance of an RNG will generate the same sequence given the same seed. That's not the issue.

The issue is Java historically has guaranteed that, for all future versions and implementations of Java, the RNG will produce the exact same sequence given the same seed. It is deterministic across language versions and implementations. This is extremely unusual for a programming language, and a very bad idea. Java's RNG has grievous errors: but these bugs cannot be fixed because it would change the sequence! Its bugs are fixed in stone.

> It's not expensive.

There are evidently ~10k philosophy professors in the US and the average salary is ~100k. That's ~$1 billion. I think college is already an expensive waste but if it has to exist and if those professors are mostly entertaining undergraduates I suppose ~0.004% of GDP to pay camp counselors at a playground that's going to exist anyway, isn't all that expensive. I rate your coment as "mostly true."

All of those are possible, but food handling usually uses less powerful robots (simply because they're a lot cheaper) so there may have been some complacency about them not being that dangerous.

(Physical barriers can be tricky to get right too, though - there have been incidents of "worker crushed between robot and inside of safety cage" though design standards have been updated in response to that.)

Source(s)?

Same, but that's why I say the US is a big place. There isn't a standard US suburb.

> They definitely don't walk to the grocery store, to a restaurant, to a bar, to the gym, to work, etc.

That is alien to my experience. I can walk to all of those, with multiple instances of each one, from a suburban SFH.

On the first link near Charlotte, I have two comments: First one is that it stretches the definition of suburb. Switch to satellite view and zoom out until you see Charlotte. Those houses are in the midst of vast stretches of green, far away from the nearest urban area (Charlotte) a half hour away. That seems semi-rural to me. Are we calling that a suburb?

Even so, there is a supermarket, gym, tavern and a few other stores within 1 mile. A very easy bike ride.

The second link is definitely suburban, smack in the middle of built-up areas. Also more familiar to me since I have lived in various spots not far from there. You can easily walk to Saratoga Ave which is full of businesses.

I wouldn't say it doesn't offer E2EE by default. It offers private chats, which are E2EE, right there and almost as easy to initiate as the regular chats.

I used Telegram in E2EE mode with someone initially, but later we decided the multi-device sync and web chat were so much more useful to us, it trumped the desirability of E2EE and we switched.

Those features together would be better of course.
What happened to her is tragic. However, I don’t think warnings or age verification would change anything. Kids are going to do things regardless if there is a warning or age verification system.

Amazing they didn’t just leave a space on the card for a jump operation of some sort. When you want to add something to your program or fix an error you just use the space to say “jump this many forward” and resume. I guess there is a good reason something like this was not possible?
You can do both. Not everyone will talk to their kids (lots of both useless and under resourced parents out there), and guardrails are possible, so best to not throw up our hands and say "welp, the world is just a terrible place."

"There is a cost" or "I don't want to" are not reasonable excuses, depending on use case and regulatory regime you're operating under. It sucks, but there are many terrible people out there. Hopefully the EFF and ACLU can work to balance out regulation from government in this space.

This seems to be somebody on the ground, if it was satellite based, it seems like it'd have bigger range and more consistency across the reports (see the 3 varieties of spoofing in the region). And I'd think the US Government would probably very quickly raise their voices about it.

Jamming GPS seems easy, like many countries could do. Spoofing GPS seems fairly complex. And causing the GPS to show a stationary location while moving seems closer to a large nation-state capability that maybe they've sold to some partners to test in the region.

I sense the purpose is to get airplanes to cross borders without authorization so they could be forcibly led to land and hostages could be captured (not about causing them to crash). The regions highlighted in the article cover a large region that the ME3 use to run the European and American flights.

This is fucked. We shouldn't have to put safety padding on everything as a stand-in for something parents are supposed to do, ie. being responsible for their brood.

Should we put inflatable balloons around people because cars and high velocity objects exist that we can collide with?

This article says the first death occurred in 1979.

>One day in 1979, a robot at a Ford Motor Company casting plant malfunctioned—human workers determined that it was not going fast enough. And so 25-year-old Robert Williams was asked to climb into a storage rack to help move things along. The one-ton robot continued to work silently, smashing into Williams’s head and instantly killing him. This was reportedly the first incident in which a robot killed a human; many more would follow.
For Telegram I think they try to make a case for TON. In TON you can buy a special phone number that can be used for Telegram, and therefore (pseudo)anonymous.
In a public place? Why?

If you’ve been somewhere others saw you, and it was a place where privacy is not expected (i.e. not someone peeking into your backyard or a bathroom stall), why should others be prevented from recording and retelling this, if they want to?

Let the legal process play out.

I'm not a fan of this journalist "ambushing" the founder at his property and staying outside of it until he gets some answers. "He has all the blinds closed" - right.

Let a judge determine whether the founder is in the wrong and needs to provide answers.

From my experience no commercial installer wanted to touch a residential install with a ten foot pole.

My general contractor had no idea what I was even talking about, and all of the installers who did residential work thought I was crazy.

I’m sure if I was willing to do it pay someone stupid amounts of money I could have done something.

Or if I’d been willing to hold up construction and do it myself, but then I’d probably have been out even more money because at the time mortgage rates were skyrocketing.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they meant the armhfp architecture?
Well not all of them, but I'd say half my packages are delivered same-day in the bay area and most of the rest are 1 day. It depends on your shopping habits and what products are popular in your area. "essentials" like cables, snacks, batteries, hot sauce, etc are always same-day while large items like microscopes can take 2 days

Regarding missed packages, are you talking about stolen packages? I've had a few cases where delivery was one day late and one time I got the wrong order (but got to keep the free groceries along with a full refund for my actual order) but I've never had a package just disappear altogether. Even Aliexpress orders that take 2-4 weeks from China eventually show up.
Opsgroup mentions this in their current and previous article, the IRU fallbacks are failing at a higher than expected rate because they can handle GPS outages but the spoofing wasn't a covered use case. Airplanes are ending up in a situation where they have zero location info and having to get it from ATC.
To the founder of Omegle, I would say: do not lose heart. The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice. In the end, we will prevail over those who destroy the good works of others under the guise of false victimhood and social justice, and build a very special place in hell for them, where we will condemn them for all eternity.
Love it but then how will the government follow you or engage the kill switch?
