I share the same feeling with smitty1e. But I have to admit, my military experience, GI Bill, and security clearance opened many doors for me. As you put it, it gave me a major leg up in life. I would make the same choice again unless I had better opportunities.

There is a serious problem with letting CDPQ Infra operate a downtown line, which is that they couldn't agree on a revenue sharing agreement with the ARTM.

A new downtown line is fine, but if it means insufficient funding for the already underfunded metro system, it's not clear it would actually be a net benefit.

Ultimately the problem is the legislation around the ARTM having to be able to be long-term profitable, which means that such a project can't make sense.

As far as I'm aware, the ARTM and the city also agreed with a plan where the REM de l'est would connect somewhere onto the green line to avoid competing with downtown metro service, but that was rejected by CDPQ Infra as unprofitable.
> It is, however, somewhat possible to track Bitcoin going too and from the addresses because it is all on computers and this is a trade off of Bitcoin being permission-less and not controlled by a single entity that can decide to unbank you, and online so that you can send it to people across the country.

It's not "somewhat" possible, it's 100% possible because the history is public and permanent. If you make a mistake once in your entire life Chainalysis will see through anything you previously did to obscure a transaction.
I live in a central city without a car. Our stroller was used for carrying groceries and getting our daughter to/from daycare in a reasonable amount of time. But our sole focus deciding on the stroller was good storage for grocery runs and otherwise compact enough to use on dense city sidewalks or lug down the subway. I too scratched my head when suburbanites brought out their huge strollers from their huge cars/SUVs and essentially lounged at their destinations.
For some reason, I initially read the title as “…Guide to PBJ” and I got really excited about a potential guide to better indulgent sandwiches… but nope.

We will cease to be "humans" as we are now. It's weird to talk about consciousness as a being who is conscious but can't explain how, but the fact that I have the capacity and disposition for moral deliberation drives me to pursue morality. Perhaps it's because of an emergent biological state, or a supernatural soul, or something else, but regardless it's a core part of who I am. I recognize the moral relativism pitfall, but I don't think that means we should ignore morality either. I have beliefs on at least core moral principles that should be upheld, if nothing else. I couldn't tell you why I do, but I do. That's enough for me to keep going.
i typically use day of year only, its super helpful, especially when calculating time between dates, or time until date. Also i use metric time which makes life even easier for to the second calcs. For many people, myself included, regular breaks through things like weekends do not truly exist so there is no point tracking them in the main date format. You might need it on occasion but it is information so rarely useful that recording it every time i write or use a date is wasted energy, especially when you consider how frequently you need to handle long range dates which DOY does more direct than day of week / week of year.

"For every 10,000 households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), about 14 contained a recipient who was investigated and determined to have committed fraud (via a 2018 report by the Congressional Research Service). Within SNAP, for every $10,000 paid in benefits, about $11 is determined by state agencies to have been overpaid due to recipient fraud.

To put this into perspective, the IRS estimates that for every $6 owed in federal taxes, $1 is not paid because of tax evasion or fraud."
Mackay's book, and this discussion, are in the context of a hypothetical future where Britain is powered predominantly by solar and wind. It's not even that hypothetical anymore, because as you can see from this dashboard(https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/live) the UK is currently getting 75% of its electricity from renewable and low carbon sources. So even today, driving 50km there only requires 15kwh of gross energy.
My first instinct was to post a detailed takedown, and I started to go into Washington State's unemployment system eligibility and benefit criteria... but on reflection I don't think most of those things you just told us actually happened. There is a history of anti-welfare activists lying about the facts they have observed and those lies forming immortal zombie collective memories. Numerous examples in Reagan speeches are still repeated as fact today despite being debunked in the 80's, repeated as part of a consensus conventional wisdom by both political parties. So why bother?

If you'd like to sanity-check your recollections, try to figure out what the people in question would be eligible for, and try to figure out what it would actually cost to live in Seattle.

I will point out the number of politicians who were shocked, shocked when they went to backdoor COVID relief through the unemployment system, and found that most state systems were deliberately neglected to the point of abject dysfunction, or had erected punitive gating systems that defeated most applicants.

Yes, but it doesn't really make a difference. You end up needing the same gear and you get to a point where you expend enough energy biking that you actually have to vent and cool down. The big pain points are salt on the road and lack of infrastructure.
Hmm – the smallest, most highly-integrated PDP-11 (-compatible) package ever made was the QFP 1806VM2, with around ~135k transistors; it integrated MMU, UART, parallel interface, keyboard controller, etc, but did floating-point instructions in interpretive microcode.

I think that same transistor count was reached by Motorola on the 68020, which would've been around 1984, but would have needed the peripheral controllers mentioned here.

Very lightly toasting the bread makes them tastier. That's just a general sandwich tip, really. But with a PBJ you want it to stay soft enough that the filling doesn't squeeze out the side.
Humans can eat it the same way. I just pan fry until it's crispy and add some salt to taste. My kids love fried salmon skin (along with salmon + rice + dry seaweed wrap).
From https://github.com/markjfine/nrsc5-dui#maps :

> Maps: When listening to radio stations operated by iHeartMedia, you may view live traffic maps and weather radar. The images are typically sent every few minutes and will fill the tab area once received, processed, and loaded. Clicking the Map Viewer button on the toolbar will open a larger window to view the maps at full size. The weather radar information from the last 12 hours will be stored and can be played back by selecting the Animate Radar option. The delay between frames (in seconds) can be adjusted by changing the Animation Speed value. Other stations provide Navteq/HERE navigation information... it's on the TODO 'like to have' list.

Is this an easier way to get weather info without Internet than e.g. Raspberry-NOAA and a large antenna?

Solipsism is a concept insofar as we can define it, and even talk about it, in a way that is not obviously nonsensical, and is arguably useful in discussing epistemology, but it is not obvious that a rational person could be a solipsist in the sense of holding a justified belief that the (i.e. their) self is the only reality. I suspect that any such person attempting to justify that belief (to themselves, of course - who else?) would run into inconsistencies whenever they tried to define concepts such as the self, justification and reality in ways that are not tautological.

Something I’ve been hammering on recently: NYC could build new light rail lines relatively rapidly and cheaply, especially in Brooklyn and Queens: much of those boroughs was covered by streetcar lines until the 1950s, and all of the streets that those lines ran on are still graded for that purpose. In some places they didn’t even bother to pull up the old rails, and just paved over them instead[1]. The roads themselves are owned by the city too, sidestepping half of the bureaucratic process that comes with the state-run MTA.

I these days use coredumpctl with gdb to debug seg faults.

So if a program crashes, I simply do:

$ coredumpctl debug

Now it launches gdb (or your default debugger) on the latest core dump. Then I use `bt` and others to debug the issue.

You’re making a huge assumption about NIST’s implementation. Generally people like the goals of regulation. They might not like the implementations.

I’d prefer to see strategic action on concrete issues rather than perceived risks. I don’t see how tasking a bunch of government agencies with pontificating on new and unfamiliar technologies can produce a good result.
It’s all just status. You can wear whatever you want and if you’ve got clout with the staff, or if you’re with someone else who is high status, you’ll get in.

Otherwise it’s a coin flip unless you’re clearly intoxicated, belligerent, etc.

Same as it ever was. You just didn’t recognize it because you were younger and in clubland youth is the only status currency that’s zero effort to acquire.

Are you referring to AM/SW DRM, or VHF DRM?

For AM/SW DRM, the "Dream DRM decoder" works fine for me.

The trouble is that most of the Broadcasters have abandoned AM DRM.

I just now did a quick scan. Of the 17 MW/SW channels I have programmed, there isn't one on air with DRM.

1) There is no reason to attribute all of the carbon intensity to the last use to be added. It is far more accurate to estimate the carbon intensity of something by the blended production mix at its time of use. Fossil fuel plants are often kept online for factors beyond the need for additional capacity at a certain time.

2) You are assuming there is no curtailment or rejection of wind, solar, and nuclear, which is categorically false. This is why there are time-of-day rates that vary so drastically. There are large amounts of renewable/low-carbon energy that would otherwise be wasted in pretty much every geography.
Yeah, to say that "Bitcoin" is the epitome of blockchain technology, an ever-innovating field, is either ignorant or disingenuous.
This might be true for very few very selective clubs like Berghain, certainly not true for all Berlin clubs. In the case of Berghain, it obviously doesn't suffer from losing customers—your comment confirms this point.
> The situation with machine tools in the US is unbelievable, by the way. So many stupid mistakes have been caused by the confusion between mils (1/1000 of an inch) and millimeters.

To be fair, this wouldn't be an issue if we had only imperial units. It's only possible to mix these up because we have an awkward mix of both systems.

> The situation is legitimately a little bit different with minutes and hours, since we are able to specify units of time somewhat arbitrarily to match the units, i.e., if hours were 64 minutes instead of 60, many meetings would instead be 64 (or 32) minutes long.

The same situation is true of carpentry, though. when we're building something out of wood we rarely have specific dimensions we must meet, we're building something artificial and can pick the closest round number. 2x4s are 2" by 4" not because they need to be slotted into some naturally-occurring fixture but because it's a nice round number that is sufficiently useful. The standard ceiling height in the US is 8' not because of any law of the universe but because it's a round number that's easy to measure and easy to divide (quarters, halves).

Your examples of something 7.3 feet long or 7.87 feet long simply don't come up in carpentry because we'd usually just round up to a nice number and scale the whole project accordingly. And if we do have something that needs to be precise within +/- a certain tolerance, a base unit that is easily divisible is more likely to be able to round conveniently while remaining within the tolerance.
>use services like wise.com for transfers

Last I heard, wise.com is outright stealing people's money now.

Otherwise, this is a good heads-up. Banking for expats can be tricky; a lot of US financial institutions don't want to service customers who live overseas, and will automatically cancel your account if they find out you don't live in the US.

The US is looking more and more like the old Soviet Union, where people weren't allowed to leave. Even China doesn't have this problem; there are tons of Chinese expats living in democratic nations, and they don't have problems like this.
Yes it's possible, but we really need to be cautious.

In general it's a bad idea to underestimate adaptive systems. It's especially foolish to underestimate the ultimate adaptive system: natural ecosystems. We should be extremely humble and careful when we're toying with the unfathomably complex system that we depend on. We understand very, very, very little about these things except that they're hard to predict and we really need them to continue working well enough to maintain the parameters we need for survival.
> Apple has more leverage over devs; they can say "No more x86-64 in N years" and the developers basically have to move to ARM or abandon MacOS.

I think Microsoft could do the same thing as far as devs go. If Apple can exert that influence over devs with their extreme minority market share, I think MS could too. The problem for MS is their customers. Apple customers will buy whatever Apple puts out, because they're extremely loyal to the brand. The same isn't true for Microsoft, and I imagine that pressure would cause them to fold on any major changes.
What example would you have of an ISP or third-party injecting an ad or tracker within the HTTP response? I've certainly seen the DNS query hijacking and while HTTPS will encrypt the transmission, at the ISP level they already have your DNS query and src/dst IP address. Even with HTTPS based on session data it wouldn't be difficult label Netflix/Youtube traffic patterns.

Do you also have any reference to what exactly the collected data is useful for? I could see an ISP selling traffic data for a zip or area but they would already have that based on your billing address.

Worth mentioning that they are already involved in the financial anti-fraud business by way of postal money orders, and are already involved in electronic support by way of the very many services they already offer online. Very little of this proposal is entirely new to them.

I posted about a book that was recently published about categorical computability theory [1]. The author has a draft of the book available on the arXiv, which is what this submission is.

As I said in my previous submission, I think this material is useful as a concrete, and from basic principles, introduction to category theory and its application to computation.

Christian context is a bit fuzzy here. On one hand, Monday is called the same in Hebrew (יום שני [yom sheni] = "second day"). On the other hand, Russian "вторник" [vtornik] ≈ "second" is Tuesday, same in other Slavic languages.
Just as with chlorine gas: Luckily, we're incredibly sensitive to the odor of even safe-ish trace quantities of the toxin, so the actual risk is dramatically mitigated in any environment where there's air mixing. Smell it, back away until you can't smell it, and you're a survivor.

Just don't, say, descend an elevator shaft into an un-ventilated sub-basement with ammonia storage.

The amount of inconsequentially small ammonia leaks which nevertheless the owner insists on a service technician fixing immediately because of the alarming odor, actually form most of the case against ammonia as a refrigerant, which it's otherwise well-suited to.

Cruise is aiming for a robotaxi market, not for consumer vehicles. In their business plan, they own and operate fleets. In that kind of model, it’s possible that they can get away with 4% human control. Another way to put that is that they would have one operator on duty for every 25 cars.

Oh dear. It started out as a Java game and the biggest ecosystem remains around the Java edition. But the writing is on the wall: the future of Minecraft is Bedrock edition. This is what runs on Android and iOS. This is what runs on Windows, Xbox, etc.

If you want to get her into Minecraft, I recommend avoiding the Java community altogether and focusing on Bedrock. The easiest way is to buy an iPad and then buy Minecraft from the App Store, because the Apple rules dictate that you must be able to play it without a Microsoft account. To connect to a server, create a free Microsoft account (you probably already have one, somewhere), and the Apple version will connect to all the servers and online stuff.

For your Fedora laptop, you can supposedly get the Android version to run. It's on the list of things to do with our Ubuntu game machine.

But seriously: the Java edition "community" doesn't want a nine-year old girl in it, and they also would rather quit than play Bedrock. So win-win.
In New Zealand the bank that provides government departments with banking is required to provide "banking of last resort" facilities to people, even going so far as people who have (for example) done bank fraud. The facilities are minimal - no overdrafts or credit cards, obviously! - but provide enough to function in a society where cheques don't exist and cash is rarely used.

I think tab unloading in Firefox might predate Chrome. I was using an addon for it called Bar Tabs Heavy in the late 2000s / early 2010s, and I know it was a successor to another addon (which I think was just Bar Tabs).
