> Once the industry switched from hexadecimal to graphic editors, it wasn’t rare for graphic designers to have not one but two screens on their desk: a computer monitor and a CRT, the second one being used to display the result of the work made on the first one. It’s hard to tell whether this was a standardized practice or not, but we know that many developers, graphic designers as well as programmers, used that technique, from Kazuko Shibuya (Square) and Akira Yasuda (Capcom) to the developers behind Thunder Force IV (1992) who used many CRTs to take into account the specifities of each kind of screen. Masato Nishimura, graphic designer in charge of the backgrounds from Sonic CD, mentioned something he had been told about the first Sonic the Hedgehog (1991): the developers used up to 3 CRTs to previsualize the game and see how were rendered the scrolling and blur effects.

> This practice can be explained by at least 3 reasons. The first one is related to the differences in rendering between a computer screen and a CRT, the pixels look generally sharper on a monitor. The second one lies in the specificities of each machine: display resolution, shape of the pixels (rarely as square as one would expect), rendering of the colors -the red color bleeded on the others on Mega Drive, it was recommanded to add neutral colors around to compensate. The third reason is related to the second one but also concerns programmers: a workstation doesn’t necessary simulate every aspect of the machine for which a game is being developed. For example, the parallax scrolling effect featured in the Mega Drive game Thunder Force IV couldn’t be tested on X68000.

> Tatsuro Iwamoto, graphic designer on the first episodes of the Phoenix Wright / Gyakuten Saiban series released on Game Boy Advance, explained that he took account of that (sometimes unwanted) effect on Nintendo’s portable console.
I’ve actually found New York is fine - most of it’s so dense and slow the pedestrians really do claim the roads.

Boston, on the other hand - those motherfuckers speed up when they see you crossing.
But we live in the kinds of society where a person has rights until they prove they shouldn't. Not the potential, but the actuality. Now I think the middle ground might be better enforcement of near misses... "No harm no foul" needs to be removed from the mindset of traffic cops.
Given how manufacturers love advertising how aggressive, violent, and deadly their cars are, I’m not sure they will try to bury those results. I’m 50/50 on them trying to change the news cycle on those keywords vs. going all in and hiring more ad executives from firearms companies, and starting to talk about penetration and resistance.

Think I’m off? What’s the next hot car coming out next month? Did it try to spin up the release with some word-of-mouth advertising “leaking” a photo of that car riddled with bullets on social media? Has that brand led the market in terms of practice in the auto industry?
Wait, I thought we got the higher blunter front ends because those were deemed safer for pedestrians.

Edit: My understanding (from memory) was that the lower, pointier front ends would kneecap pedestrians, causing them to impact the windscreen. Because the pilars around the windscreen are not designed to collapse, that is worse for the pedestrian. So, manufacturers made blunter front ends that would collapse in an impact.
Yep. As I lay dying on the ground, bleeding from every orifice, my organs and bones crushed to a fine pulp at the blunt end of a BMW X7 going 50mph. I will reach for my gun and shoot my assailant.

Yep definitely a real plan that solves real problems. /s

[edit] Or was the plan to prevent the collision in the first place? As I see the driver coming for me, murder in their eyes, I will smoothly draw my weapon, shoot the driver through the windshield, leap into the air and sail smoothly over my assailant's steel battering ram, executing a perfect three-point superhero landing as my fellow pedestrians cheer.

Was that the idea instead?
I would love to help you build this. I don't think it would be hard either.

> How is failure or success determined? Did we know what the goals were for decriminalization?

I think supporters would say that ending an approach that has failed miserably across multiple generations is a success unto itself. And that the bigger goal was to open a path to a wider rollback of the drug war.

> Was improving drug purity a goal?

Saving lives is always an explicit and implicit goal in public policies around health. Drug purity saves lives. Especially these days.

> Were legal markets supposed to appear? Was it supposed to reduce access to minors?

No. It is basically a government mandate for people to hand their money directly to the criminal drug dealers.

> Was some mechanism for connecting addicts to social services to help them supposed to appear?

To be fair, Oregon has taken other actions to fund services for addicts, like diverting funds from their marijuana tax revenue.

Most people probably want a drug policy that leads to a) fewer dead people and b) fewer addicts and c) reduced crime. Personally, I also think we need to consider liberty as one of the top goals if we're going to judge a drug policy as successful or not. But even in that respect, this law did very little.
Have you consider it as cause of your symptoms?
If that seems hard to chew on try this on for size. Food doesn't exist to demonstrate the art of the chef. Without someone to eat it becomes rot. This doesn't degrade the chef nor his art it defines it.

Across the internet spreads a noisy video. It's pornography with an absolute dead ringer celebrity face. There are no context clues -- physical SMT, celebrity references, video provenance, etc.

Sadly, even in places that are supposed to be reasonably safe for pedestrians, high, large, heavy vehicles are becoming more and more common. The Netherlands has a suprisingly high frequency of Dodge Rams.
> its so unreliable, its smooth for 8 frames, then breaks and comes back

That's unfortunately true, even on the best TVs. But for me that is merely slightly jarring, while panning cameras at 24 fps are completely unwatchable. So I begrudgingly use it and hope that some day they will realize movies in 2023 should not be using the same frame rate they had due to technical limitations 100 years ago.

A true 120 fps movie would be so, so much better. Just like how I am playing all games at 4k / 120 fps on the TV.

Something I've been meaning to explore is pre-processing a movie with RIFE, which produces a much better result than the builtin motion smoothing since it doesn't have to run in real time on a subpar processor. Though it takes quite a while even with an RTX 4090 and you need the actual frames so can only do it with pirated movies from blu-ray rips, which is annoying.
For all the complaints of slow tests, the Rails community is reluctant to decouple from the framework, which is the root cause of the issue. To me, that is lack of discipline: choosing the framework way (e.g. tribal identity) over engineering integrity.

It may be that slow tests are just easy to complain about, and there isn't much business value in doing that. Totally fine. But, other things come to mind: weird cottage industry of gems that did dubious things to speed up tests (and were prone to breaking), the skepticism around interactors, the hegemony of active record (the pattern). None of those are bad things, but they reinforced the fact that the technical values of the Rails community do not work for me.
Buddy if the gun situation around here didn’t convey America’s stance on child safety I don’t know what will.
Can't speak for op, but for me, I enjoy thinking and writing a bunch, but it's even more fun if people critique / praise / question me. That might just be an idiosyncratic preference of mine though. I'm not all that interested in being an influencer or monetizing my audience, but I love a good well-intentioned argument.
Maybe you can just put it in the other end?
Life is too short to seek a rational discussion with people who have no interest in one.
What places are those?
Perhaps the light truck exemption should stay, but all exempt vehicles pay a punitive mileage tax. My feeling here is that pickups as _actual_ tool/utility vehicles is valid, but we should punish the use of such dangerous vehicles when they don’t serve a purpose. A tradesmen owning a truck that he uses to transport materials and tools is one thing. The dude who works in sales at a software company and has used the bed once since he bought the truck to go camping is another.

I’m not sure though, the overarching problem is that the US is vast, and what is good in one place is bad in the other.

A large 4x4 truck is a menace in a dense city, but a car is crap in places with poor roads and snow. Both are common.
And one day at an amateur high powered rocketry launch and you'll get 100(s?) of launch(es).
> It's way too common to read articles where clearly cherry-picked prose takes the place of a more informative graph, only to lookup said graph and find that the article seems to be trying to intentionally distort the data to make some point.

Huh? The article doesn't say anything about 1990. It says they rose by 80% after hitting their low in 2009. Population rose steadily from 1990 to 2023, so if you are trying to cite population increase as a factor in the rise from 2009 to 2023, you also need to explain how it didn't contribute to the drop from 1990 to 2009.

I would say that, actually, you are (perhaps unintentionally) distorting the data to fit your worldview while trying to criticize the article.
Aside from the feature films, also don’t forget:

• his one major manga/graphic novel, Nausicaä

• Future Boy Conan (TV series)

• Panda Kopanda (aka Panda! Go, Panda!) (two short films)

• the five episodes of Sherlock Hound he directed

• On Your Mark (music video)

(of course, there’s more)

You seem to be pretending that the "pure tough love" option is somehow NOT billions of dollars?

How much do you think we have spent on the DEA, ATF, and 2 million prisoners?
I have grinded leetcode and worked at FAANG, so I understand the common signals interviewers look for. But that's only because I spent a lot of time on FAANG style interview prep. I don't know why the interviewer had to give that awkward silence -- The candidate, who is likely under abnormal pressure, may start thinking about a bunch of other things "is there a bug in my code? did I miss some edge case?" I am one of those people who become very nervous in a live coding interview and usually can't perform as good as I do in my daily work. There was one interview when I embarrassingly forgot some basic syntax of a language that I used every day for years.

I don't understand why this has to be a red flag. What's wrong with just saying "it works, but can you make it faster"? As an interviewer, I say this a lot and I never judge candidates on this at all.

Where are cigarettes illegal? If you're referring to restrictions on where you can use cigarettes, I presume you can't do hard drugs there either.

(obviously I'm ignoring the fact that "decriminalizing" doesn't mean the same thing as "legalizing", so those hard drugs aren't legal)
This is tangentially Rivian related, but does anyone else see the inherent danger of stylized tail lights that are just a single red bar across the back of the car?
Travelling on the freeway at night I can't really gauge the distance to the car in front of me if it's far ahead and if there's no discernable left and right brake lights. I'd believe Rivians and other cars like that are more at risk of high speed rear-end collisions.
Congrats on the launch Michael. I dreamt of this back when I was an SE at RJMetrics :)

You might want to make an effort to actually understand the argument before you pass judgement, because you have very clearly missed the point.
They obviously have real tangible benefits. I regularly use my SUV to haul stuff that would not fit in a car while also maintaining the ability to fit passengers when I am not using that space. While being lighter than a van.
I know they're people. I occasionally banter. It's just pleasantries though. I don't remember any of them and I doubt they remember me.
The problem usually isn't that its heating up while in that sleep state, the problem is applications then request to change the current state to a higher power state.

Sure, keep S0ix in a low enough power state that it can easily be passively cooled and not allow it to get high enough. What's to stop that av software to once again decide "S0ix? Nah, need to scan NOW, WAKE UP!!!". If there's any way to change these states in software, the apps causing hot bags today will just move to call that instead.
Yes, for most of us, the cost of natural gas is almost completely transportation costs. The gas itself is only a very small fraction of our bill.
I haven't but I've visited for a week with a friend who does. Of course it was sad to see people in so much pain, but beyond that I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Even if you have more specific issues with living next to homeless people, that doesn't mean they deserve to be in jail for drug crimes. They should be given housing.

Even if you did want to throw people in jail for being homeless, only about half of chronically homeless people use drugs (https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/programs_campaign...), so outlawing drugs wouldn't even solve the issue you want it to solve.
Not even a few KB of CSS. A single small line is sufficient:

If you can’t sell it you don’t own it.

The mentality that creates clauses like this in the first place is a warning first to all of us, and a concern for discussion second.

There seems to be a major push to own products after they are sold. We have a model for that: it’s leasing or renting.

I think it’s profoundly important we as a society punish companies who try to blur that line by refusing to buy their products for risk that everything in life become a rental and we all end up living very convenient lives working for the company stores.
>>"In reality, gradual typing ends up giving you the worst of both dynamic and static typing: you get the uncertainty and lack of safety (in dynamically typed contexts) of dynamic typing, and the cost of trying to fit your ideas into a statically typed type system. I also found that the use of gradual typing didn't actually make me more productive compared to using static typing."

The Elixir team didn’t get that memo because they are actively in the process of researching and working on a gradual type implementation.[1]

Big point of resistance here is going to be public safety. I would live in a city alone as a single man. I wouldn’t live in a city with a family. At this point even suburbs are becoming a questionable option as many cities have little to no options that are both safe and affordable, so you have to go out to the exurbs instead.
Isnt this Findom/PayPig thing just a variation of outing GoldDiggers as seen in the link below? The fact the FinDom's are now turning to AI would suggest a level of awareness and subtle education is taking place, namely the ability to use such technology. Its a bit like when people claim to be dyslexic and thus cant read or write, but they text message and DM people on social media platforms no problem at all!

Of course, the AI Paypig gives the Central Banks a platform that doesnt need Ex Fed Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankes helicopter drops and doesnt challenge their authority when people question their methods.

I agree that legalization/regulation should be the end goal but it isn't a prerequisite for creating connections between addicts and health care services. In many of the western european countries there have been "drug consumption rooms" for decades now and the general opinion about them seems to be very positive[1]. They are essentially supervised rooms where addicts can get clean needles and use their drugs in a clean and supervised setting as well as having a change to speak to social workers if they want to.

I don't know if Oregon has any system like that in place right now. If they don't, it would seem like the reasonable first step considering that one of the major complaints seems to be drug use in public.

Major dense metros with viable transit are more immune to this, middle schoolers aren't unheard of but ridesharing probably has raised the threat level.
One feels like one has a lot better overview with a higher vehicle. A higher, more vertical front doesn't seem a necessity for that, though. I wonder if a combination might have the lowest risk due to the overview combined with survivable hood (if one can't just take public transport in the first place). Are there vehicles like that?
There's also the fact that the black market is massive and deeply-embedded in American (and Canadian) society. Even without taxes it was never going to just disappear, certainly not in a single generation. Add to that the fact that most states still don't have legal weed, so wherever someone is growing they are not far from an illegal market. Plus, with use so widespread compared to every other drug, there exists a large enough youth market to keep a pretty big black market going indefinitely.
There are 600 million DCMA notices to Google along every year. Let's be insanely Conservative and assume there are a billion across all platforms.

Let's say a judge can review a notice every 5 minutes. 12 an hour, say 100 in a day. Say 20 000 per year. So 50 per million, 50 000 judges per billion requests.

Let's say a judge costs 100k per year. With say another 100k in costs. That's a price tag of 10 billion per year. I'm guessing the real number is likely well over double that.

So your plan to include humans, never mind actual judges who went to law school and so on, is, well a non-starter.
Judging by the way drug laws have been enforced in the past. Working means arbitrarily suppressing Americans right to vote, speak, protest, and participate in our economy.

So yeah, it's not working because it isn't doing that anymore.
That article lists the minimum death rate at 4109, and 7400 today. So it went from 4109/250000000=1.64x10^-5 to 7400/330000000=2.24x10^-5. Thats an increase of 37%. That's still shocking.

If harsher penalties were adopted only in the case of killing or injuring someone, perhaps not, but if we made fines for all moving violations proportional to vehicle weight, people might suddenly be more thoughtful.
Are you sure they didn't license e.g. theme songs, or backing music? That's often the source of problems with older content.

It's all fixable, but may not be considered worth the effort. Sometimes not worth the effort to audit even.
Do you want to compare the number of features added between go and c# in the last 15 years? Just a single major release of C# added more stuff than probably the last 15 years of Go.

I'm not saying Go is 100% right in that, but it's much more conservative about stuff added into the language.
But it seems the only bug-free solution is to isolate pedestrians and vehicles at every crosswalk :) E.g. elevated overpasses or underground tunnels which are not practical.

My neighbor was recently hit while walking her 4 year old and pushing her 1 year old in a stroller. In this case, the driver was making a left turn and as he completed the turn he did not see her in the crosswalk. On that road, it's not easy to make the left, so my assumption is they were solely focused on finding a gap to make the left. I can think of lots of improvements they can make: a crossing guard since there's a preschool there, some crossing flags, a turning lane, etc. But all solutions still seem to rely on driver's not making mistakes.
No, this model uses as input the current state of the weather across the whole planet.
> One of their jobs (like the invisible waiter at a high end restaurant that makes dirty utensils go away) is to "retrieve" anything that the astronauts "put down".

This is fascinating. I'm not quite following what is meant by retrieval though. I assume from context the divers aren't retrieving to return the tools to the astronaut, and rather are emulating the drift that occurs in a frictionless vacuum? "Oops I set it 'down' and now it's 200m away".

> tax consumer vehicles based on weight!

This essentially does exist in an urban environment due to fuel taxes. Still open debate if they're appropriately set (high/low) or if they funnel to the correct hands.

In an urban environment (excluding hybrids and electric vehicles) the weight will directly correlate with gas consumed. More weight -> more gas, more gas -> more taxes paid
