> The simple reason is that dense areas are more expensive, so there is clearly a lot of demand for it, even if you dislike it.

Just to start, this doesn't match reality. Dense cities get a lot of attention. Look at the SF Bay area. SF city is expensive yes, and it's dense. The median home is about 1.2 million. The rest of the bay's home prices suggest that people prefer less dense living. Atherton with a median home prices over 7million, palo alto at over 3 million, los altos is 3.5 million, menlo park over 2.8million, mill valley almost 2 million.

The most expensive places to live in the US are never its major cities.
This is right on point. This issue is squarely on the FAA and they need to provide better guidance to controllers and pilot. Great comment.
I keep seeing this repeated, but it's obviously not true. ATC does not work on any such basis.

ATC's job is to safely and efficiently route the traffic. Different traffic may have different needs, and if unexpected needs arise, ATC has broad discretion on whether or how to accommodate them. But being the first in line, or anywhere else in line, doesn't mean much if you're holding up other traffic - as demonstrated in this incident!
The narrative that Musk is "opening" Twitter is false. The game has not changed, he just swapped out some of the rules for ones he personally likes better. For example, deadnaming trans people is now protected speech, but calling a cis person "cis" is punishable. I do not care what your opinion on trans people is - this is a double standard and is not "free speech absolutism". He also banned an account that was posting public data about his personal jets. He is afraid of absolute free speech (which is reasonable - most people are).
From other posts it sounds like SOIA is the "right" solution here, but SF has not reenabled it post-COVID, perhaps due to labour shortages.
Why fight high-rise apartments? Those are going to preserve the character of a city better than anything.
Lots of theories here but if you point out there are more immigrants than new house starts every year, you get flagged. The real source of the problem is people with vacation homes.

Why would it be a better option than VAAPI?

Decoding h264/h265 in fixed (CPU) hardware is much more efficient than on the GPU.

Don’t get me wrong, its still miles and miles better than software decode.

That sounds really disturbing and immediately turns me off this project (as well as not having the need for a VC-backed terminal).
> It's like they took the fucking worst policy ideas from both sides of the political aisle in the USA, and thought, hey, let's combine them

UK is really good at combining incombinable - also combined worst aspects of USA and EU when it comes to policy. We don't the don't have the high levels of protections, redundancy pay, etc. that Europe enjoys, and we don't have USA's high salaries.

I've never heard of "pizza rat" or "dat boi". I probably spend around an hour on Reddit every day since maybe 2006.
I agree w/ all of this, but the public schools in Chicago pretty much suck too.
If the pilot declared an emergency the ATC would make room for them, whatever the inconvenience to the airport and the other planes on approach. But after the fact there would be an investigation, and the pilot would be at fault if they falsely declared an emergency or deliberately caused an emergency by flying around in circles until they had to land just because they didn’t want to divert.

If the pilot’s being serious, he’ll declare an emergency and then the ATC will take him seriously. Otherwise he can continue to hold or he can divert to Oakland. There’s not much point in arguing about it over the radio, so I can see why the ATC ended the conversation.
I've had flights that were delayed, and then during the start of the boarding process, we had to stop and switch to a different aircraft, because the delay meant we'd be too loud for the noise curfew when we arrived, so we needed to take a quieter plane. That was a domestic flight into a small airport (LGB), but I imagine there's something to manage total flight volume in general; there's certainly exception handling to delay or cancel departures when the destination airport is unlikely to be available due to weather.

People are more addicted than ever to buy stuff because of Phones and how our brains have been trained.

Economists will see next year this effect, when consumer savings will be at a negative value and sinking deeper.

This will be different than previous times when America went into the mortgage crisis. Now there's buy now pay later, credit cards, there's huge leverage for people to buy and in debt themselves.

Chaos incoming. Nobody can predict what will happen.

Credit card processing is split between normal and high risk merchant accounts.

Major CC companies tend to be significantly less interested in dealing with high risk accounts.

If Twitch introduces content segregation then they're making it explicitly clear that they consider an aspect of their business higher risk. They don't want that.

By the same logic, drugs and gambling never harmed anyone. Every party agrees and partakers in the activity. At what point is it deemed suitable for the government to step in and say gambling is illegal?

You and all your victims apparently.

Maybe even the planet you impact l. If stupid people kept to themselves a lot of laws and regulations wouldn't need to exist.

Death. They just killed trust in their products. Code Security. Code Copyright. It was the manner in how they implemented it.

"We also sign contracts / agreement to do the work. Some of the clauses in those contracts (at least mine) are very strict describing who can have access to the code/data and what level of access and in which region(s). At this moment I am uncertain about it myself which potentially makes me the party that is breaking the terms of the contract. For example, I have no answer to the question "is it possible that some code/data has been seen by government sponsored actors in USA or Russia?" - I have no answer to that."

Global iterator type is coming: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers

But a method named `groupBy` on iterators traditionally means a different thing: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-array-grouping/issues/51#is...

Global iterable type it's too late for, since there's many extant iterables in the language and on the web which don't have it in their prototype chain and can't reasonably be changed.

It was poorly written, and had to reread it, but I eventually parsed that as they meant:

(fully exposed female-presenting breasts) and/or (genitals or buttocks regardless of gender)

Which would make sense, because I don't think there ever was a restriction on male breasts to need to allow them, was there?
Unjustified flagging in my opinion. It would be nice if flagging required to select which guideline is being broken, so others can see the weighted reasons for flagging.

More anecdata: we have cloud backups that take hours, while on-premises backups of the same VM take minutes. The quirks of cloud have added complexity to our housekeeping.
I gave up, with mortgage rates as they were, and signed an 18 month lease recently.

I could definitely keep working on my down payment. Waiting doesn't seem like the worst.

You would have to read Proudhoun an Anarchism to understand what is meant by the saying.

By "property", Proudhon referred to a concept regarding land property that originated in Roman law: the sovereign right of property, the right of the proprietor to do with his property as he pleases, "to use and [to] abuse," so long as in the end he submits to state-sanctioned title. Proudhon contrasts the supposed right of property with the rights (which he considered valid) of liberty, equality, and security. Proudhon was clear that his opposition to property did not extend to exclusive possession of labor-made wealth.

Beware on Windows, out-of-the-box Microsoft will ship e.g. nvidia drivers that have DirectX 12, but not Vulkan. This can lead to confusing user situations ('DirectX 12 games work fine.. but not Vulkan') and probably means DXVA would be a better choice if targeting Windows

That doesn't sound good in terms of future-proofing this technology. If I want to read stuff 200 years from now, the knowledge necessary for that process will be buried deep inside some opaque ML blob.
But as the time goes, renters would just turn into home owners, who also wouldn’t vote against their self-interest, no? You would have relatively the same percentage of people who rent, unless something dramatic happens population-pyramid wise. I get that it’s important to build a lot of housing, which would help the prices to at least hold steady, but it still wouldn’t cause any reduction in prices (again, unless something like COVID but more lasting happens). The demand side of the equation is making it very hard for people to overcome the barrier of entry.

I’m actually curious what will happen in like 15 years in countries where population decrease will be visible. To my understanding, even Tokyo/Osaka are still growing due to people moving in from the countryside. At some point the demand will be collapsing, and curious how the governments in Japan/SK/China will respond.

Well, hello.
How can people know whats happening on the internet if its all behind a paywalls, such as this article itself?
According to other posts here it's something the FAA specifically recommends (but stops short of requiring).
Yeah, I just checked to see what this machine is... Mid 2015 15" Retina MBP with an AMD Radeon R9 and the page is buttery smooth in Safari.
This is an interesting idea, because I haven't run across this paradigm before. Can you please flesh it out a little bit further, so I can better understand it?

So, I build a table (call it "transactions"?) that contains all of these, without repeating any of the similar fields. (I'll note that that's still categorizing data; I'm not sure what that implies about your original point.) There will, of necessity, be fields that are different across the two transaction, um, types. How do you handle those?

What happens when your unified table gets so big that it affects performance? It seems to me that separating the two types of transaction into separate tables at least postpones that day.

What about presenting different types of data to end-users? Business logic dictates that accountants and analysts will want to treat these types of transaction differently.

How easy is this design to work with and reason about? I'd fear it comes at the cost of monster queries which align poorly with business logic. I'd be worried that makes said analysts dependent on the db architect to construct their queries for them, which isn't a situation I'd prefer. Is that, in practice, not a concern?

Which of those real-world concerns am I over-valuing?
Maybe the right title would be a (statistical) physics perspective...

Living with poverty brings a whole bunch of new problems. I live in a community like this. Its noisy, filled with people with their own issues. I have alcoholics getting drunk in the parking lots making noise along with regular drunk driving. The police make regular visits to my complex. Noise, traffic, safety these are realities of dense living that effect quality of life. More people mean more chances to have babies next door, crying through your shared walls, more anti social behavior from people.

The Nature article and your comment reminds me of [1]: What if the hill is a perfectly symmetric hemisphere, so that every path down the hill is equally valid?

In fact, this is precisely the shuttlecock analogy in the Nature article, even though that analogy is talking about the quantum Universe initial boundary state, as opposed to the hemisphere example in classical Newtonian mechanics.

I guess the shuttlecock analogy isn’t that useful after all, since it fails to set apart quantum Universe theory from Newtonian mechanics, in that the latter can also have no boundary.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. You can have precedent when courts follow fellow courts' decisions. The supreme court just has the final say. Also, even if SCOTUS rules one way, it can just overrule itself a few years later if it wants to (like it did in the summer).

Good luck with that. I was immediately prompted for my phone number upon registering. And I know there's ways to source an anonymous phone number, I just couldn't be bothered. They shouldn't ask for it in the first place.
I wonder if it could distinguish between a human and our 35kg dog who often lays on the bed during the day.
I don't understand this stance. I want to own so I can customize to my liking. I want to own so I can add that solar system and battery backup. I want to own so I can add 2 ft of pavers on both sides of my drive-way. I want to own so that 30 years from now when I'm preparing to retire, that my only housing costs will be utilities and taxes. What person wants to never be able to call something their own?
That makes the originals even more important.
It's unnerving, especially for open source projects. The idea of open source extends beyond the license. It is as much about the community as it is the software. Discord is the worst possible place from an open-ness standpoint. I don't use software that uses it.
Yes, but be careful. If you have an interview and the offer comes too easily, due to internal referral or whatever, it should raise a red flag. You may be stepping into a big pile of crap (based on personal experience where this happened a couple of times.)
What this guy said. Public APIs don't need to be public to everyone. They can public but only visible to internally within a package.

You can split things out decompose some things even if its just some util functions and start sending out chunks of code for review. It doesn't even necessarily have to be seperate files.

Your reviews will be faster and smoother too.

Not going to try to convince you to read The Atlantic, but the issue here is entirely on your end. They are not literally claiming that nobody has heard of the show. They are employing hyperbole.
Watch/listen to Song Exploder
I had to reread that multiple times and cringed every time. It's clear the author has never heard a person with a Southern accent pronounce "fish."
That’s not how it works though. Before the pilots ever leave their starting airport they load up enough extra fuel to fly to their alternate airport and land there safely. Then they add on the “final reserve” fuel, which is enough fuel to fly for at least another half hour or 45 minutes (depending on airline and region). Together that fuel is called the “minimum fuel”. When an airplane gets down to minimum fuel it must declare that it has reached minimum fuel and is diverting to its alternate. They can only declare an emergency if they are down to the final reserve, and by that time they are expected to have already landed at their alternate. Unless their was a mechanical problem or a fuel leak, failing to divert before reaching minimum fuel would be an error by the pilots, not the ATC. Declaring an emergency just to skip ahead in line, when they still have not even reached minimum fuel yet, would not help the pilot’s career.

Tesla drivers have highest accident rate despite Autopilot claims, who is lying?
Mercedes is making a huge gamble, IMO.

If their autonomy fails to notice a hazard and causes a crash, they're setting themselves up to take ALL liability by telling drivers they don't need to pay attention.

Compare that to Tesla which says the driver still needs to watch the road and be ready take over, which implies Tesla wants to push any liability for failures onto the driver.

This distinction is what separates L2 and L3 autonomy. Yet...Tesla's AP is certainly capable of L3, especially if you were to limit its usage in the same way as Mercedes, but Tesla doesn't want liability.
according to some studies it's around 50 bugs per 1,000 LoC.

So that puts it at about 1 bug per 20 LoC

Some estimates are something as high as 75 bugs per 1,000 LoC but that many bugs don't make it out to customers because of QA / Developer actions. So yeah, right on the money.

i think the terminal can be much better than it is today. i quit my job and started working on this full time after making the prototype because i was convinced that universal history, inline rendering, and persistent sessions just needed to happen. that being said, building a new terminal is hard and requires direction and a full-time team. these things are expensive and venture money will help us bring this idea to life quickly.

i also want to point out that the main competitor in this space is also venture backed and is closed source. we need the money to keep up (with help from the OSS community) and make sure there is a great open alternative in the market.
Probably more storage space. Single Blueray is 100GB tops. not needing to switch the disks constantly would be a win.
>I believe in the idea that anything should be possible, and allow the commons/people to dictate whether they like it or not.

What about illegal or highly distasteful/immoral content?
Yeah, but then you need twice the CPU cycles to encode/decode it. And that may have been the limiting factor when first introduced.

After that it’s all backwards compatibility. No one wants a new interface.

I remember the first time I saw a floppy pin out, I was dumbfounded. I expected it to be far more complex like IDE. I didn’t realize the term “floppy controller” would be so literal.

Of course in retrospect it makes sense. IDE = Integrated Drive Electronics. I assume the hard disks that came before worked more like the floppy and their controllers did more work too.

I guess no one cared enough to enhance the poor floppy drive until we got to things like LS-120 that I assume flat out couldn’t use the old interface and never took off anyway.
