You can absolutely outrun your fork, you just have to run a lot farther than you think. There are no fat people who run 50 miles a week.

Some people hear "one mile burns roughly a soda", look at the numbers and assume that weight loss through exercise is not going to work for them or anyone. These people give up way too easy.

Unfortunately, the material they chose for the station walls is a sort of porous cement that is likely uncleanable.
The thing is that what "looks" healthy is culture-dependent; nowadays in the caucasian west, looking lean and tanned is considered a healthy / attractive look, but in other places, times and subcultures having more weight or pale skin is considered healthy (or attractive).
Two types of systems already exists on the ATC side of things. There are red stop-bar lights at each runway entry point. Pilots are trained never to cross a red stop-bar even if told by ATC. The controller has to press a button to turn the lights off, and they automatically come back on after 1 plane has passed the lights.

In larger airports with an automated system, the system monitors the runway occupancy and approach sector. If the runway is occupied or an aircraft is on final within a certain distance, the system throws an alert before the stop-bars can be turned off.

On top of that there is also an autonomous version of this system that will use red lights to indicate a dangerous runway status (e.g. aircraft on approach) at each entry point. And the other way around, an aircraft line up for takeoff (but holding) will get red lights if any of the entry points further down the runway are crossed.

A technology model known as "cloud computing" entails providing a range of computing services online. Users can access and use computing resources provided by a third-party service provider through cloud computing, which eliminates the need for local servers or personal devices to manage applications and store data.

After Israel voluntarily withdrew its military and displaced all Jews out of Gaza, Hamas painted it as "powerful Hamas won" to get elected and since then is in fact the ruling party in Gaza territory (even if not very popular among the citizens there anymore for obvious reasons). What are the alternative facts?

Having read through this, I love it. Very readable for C++...

In terms of the actual TTF bit, if you pull out everything needed it's probably somewhat bigger than what I already have, but that's because libschrift and my Ruby translation does tesselation and rasterisation that's doing the very barest minimum needed for the basic TTF rendering and yours is far more generic (and let's face it: fancier/more featureful in a good way) rendering of the polylines.

I've already half-wanted to pull that out of my Ruby port anyway and doing a basic canvas, so I might just look to yours for inspiration on doing that in a way that can be reused if I get the urge to extend it further later.

Musical notation is absolutely terrible, possibly even as terrible as written english, just in different ways.

Not only you cannot infer anything from context while reading for the first time (unlike with english), modal markings that completely change meaning of most symbols are scattere all over — slightly to the left, slightly above, left margin, top of the page etc

It's not really new tbh, things like Soylent or that shitty fruit press did the rounds a few times over the years.
The premise that a ten year old car with 150K on the odometer might be in harder shape than a 15 year old car with 75K is not hard to accept, but I was somehow very surprised to realize the analogous fact on bodies. Calories are essentially mileage for your digestive tract - top to bottom.

Time-on-earth is easy to measure, but not obviously a good measure. EG, is time-on-earth a better metric than total calorie consumption? Doesn't feel straightforward to me.
What is hostile about the architecture here? The armrests?
That's my point. Money still has to come from somewhere. Being a non-profit doesn't solve the problem of things costing money.
I noticed some other weird design choices in the new tube stations as well. Eg air vents that are very fine and visibly clog up.

It’s like they designed it to look shiny for day one but ignored decades of practical experience
No, active noise cancelling isn't about masking noise with sound, active noise cancelling takes the original noise and mixes it back 180 degrees out of phase. The net result is zero noise, when done perfectly. In practice it's almost like that (for the frequencies covered by the noise cancelling equipment - in an airplane it's like the background noise just.. turns off. What's left is typically people talking. It's easier to hear the flight attendants).

If instead it was by adding sound then it would defy the purpose. I use active noise cancelling because if I don't I'll hear a noise in my head for weeks after a long-haul flight (I have tinnitus in one ear which makes it even worse).
> I think we should try to transition code to the current ISO standard and in almost all cases this will just work without problems. In the few cases, where it does not, it is usually for a very good reason.

Microsoft's C compiler did not support C99 until something like 15 years after the standard came out (and reportedly (according to colleagues who use that platform) still doesn't support certain features of it).

It happens with surprising frequency that someone reports to the sqlite project that The Latest Version no longer works on their pre-2005 environment and they'd like to see it patched to work there.

My point is: users of a given platform might not be able to use The Latest Stuff (or anywhere near it, for that matter) because their OS vendor is reticent, because they have to support an old platform which is not targeted by newer tools, or for whatever other reason.

> Now, nobody is stopping compilers from supporting old language modes, but it adds a lot of complexity, ...

i don't doubt that, and i do sympathize with the maintainers. i'm not saying they should never ever remove C89 support, but if they do then there needs to be an alternative, like a fork of the last compiler version which supported it, maintained at least to the extent that the rare genuine compiler bugs can be resolved.
> Homelessness is a society-wide self-inflected wound: it could be stopped in a few years, but that would be landlord gentry's biggest nightmare.

I think you are making the same mistake as the author of the article. Can you describe the steps necessary to solve homelessness, without resorting to "steps" that simply describe a condition that won't be fulfilled, such as "people have to..." or "the government has to..."?

Or, in other words, let's assume that I want to solve homelessness. What do I have to do for that?

Web forms are absolutely enough to roughly match the typical VB6 application. Especially the "easy" path mentioned. Not every app, but definitely most.

I think it's important to differentiate between music and melody here. A notation that allows reading a melody seems possible and from what I know some people can do that with classical notation. But music in the sense of a spotify song is so much more than just a melody. Especially modern music genres. There are so many layers, effects and complex instruments at play that it seems impossible to create a diverse and robust notation that is human readable for music in general.
Capabilities are strictly less secure than hard-coded permissions, because capabilities can be given away by confused deputies whereas fixed permissions cannot.

Capabilities also don't magically stop your app containing buffer overflows, SSO login problems, they don't make your users phishing-proof and in general they don't do a lot of anything. They're a useful API pattern that every OS already provides and has done for decades, but they're very far from a silver bullet.

LOL. Patently false. B12 is produced by bacteria in herbivores' guts.
As long as there is no better alternatives, we don't really have a choice, do we? But I can see all those BS are about to come to an end. To me, Windows have turned into an entertainment system from a production system.

I think it depends, this one didn't as IIRC we got last seasons model as it was cheaper.
> Intelligent auto complete is extremely useful if you are constrained with your input either by disability or by using a suboptimal device.

Well, assuming you’re a hyper-intelligent being with eidetic memory, that is. The main value of the intelligent completions isn’t conserving keystrokes, but discoverability of input options. It’s the same story for IntelliSense in IDEs.
No, it can't. Percentage of CO2 in exhaled air is pretty much constant because it's a result of the physical process body uses to get rid of it which can't really be scaled up to higher concentrations of co2 as there's really no reason to scale it down from peek efficiency.
Haven't seen legislation on consumption. But efforts to restrict farming. I think it was the Netherlands that pushed this in the last year or so.

The result is roughly the same.

There have also been efforts to tax "bad for you foods" particularly sugar. Where meat consumption has been villified and is absolutely a target.
It’s so British to bodge the bodge: the stickers don’t hide all the dirt…
Honestly, I think every third-party involved in transporting http traffic should do the public a service and replace the transmitted data with some cat images or whatever else. Every unencrypted connection should be messed with so that there cannot be accidental unencrypted transmission of sensitive data, just in case.
> The first reason for this is that forgetting is a filter. When something you read resonates with you sufficiently for you to recall it without effort, that means something; it means it connects with your ideas and experiences in some relevant way.

I take an issue with this assumption. When I leaf through my past notes, highlights—hell, even stuff I have written myself—I am surprised at many relevant things that I completely forgot about. It's true forgetting is a filter, but one mustn't underestimate the brain's capacity to forget useful stuff too. Maybe it's something you didn't need in a while, and need it now. Maybe it has become more relevant than it was in the past. For eg, I have restarted journaling recently, and this highlight from "On Writing Well", immediately hit me:

> “Go to your desk on Monday morning and write about some event that’s still vivid in your memory,” he says. “It doesn’t have to be long—three pages, five pages—but it should have a beginning and an end. Put that episode in a folder and get on with your life. On Tuesday morning, do the same thing. … Take whatever memory comes calling; your subconscious mind, having been put to work, will start delivering your past.

It's written for a different context, but it made me realize a different way to approach my journaling.

However, I agree wanting to retain everything is needlessly ambitious, and counter-productive. I was once obsessed with making notes about everything I read, but soon, I realized how unenjoyable it was making my reading. The better approach, I found, is to just make highlights. And go over them once in a while (a few months or so). That's enough of a knowledge-retention system for me.

If you aren’t looking for languages that have more fancy memory management things (ref counting, borrowing or similar) then the active ones I know of are in alphabetical order:
C3, Hare, Jai (might be slightly more of a C++ alternative), Odin and Zig.

Additionally: Hare stated Win and Mac will be unsupported. Jai is still closed source.
What hostile architecture? This is on the underground. Nobody is going to be sleeping on these seats.
If the (quite useless) armrests weren't there to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them, people wouldn't be sitting in the exact same spot every time, causing a light smear instead of defined person-like shaped on the wall.
Have you looked at patterns on public seating wherever there's fabric? Or e.g. hotel carpets and the like? Consider the heavily patterned designs often serve a function.

You can regularly clean well enough to address health and safety and still end up with plenty of marks that are high effort to remove that only really affect appearance, and so designs that reduce the visual impact have been used in high traffic spaces pretty much "forever" as a means to reduce the need for high effort cleaning.

Not really much difference for a wall.
>The left’s inability to cohere is largely what protects us

I think that's a feature of democracy, which I actually like. Unfortunately it's also what gives a charismatic populist more power. They will unify the people with the (artificially amplified) emotions, while the others are mired in argument.

I'm trying to think of necessary push-notifications, and all I can come up with is "stuff from loved ones, but not spam of whatever mom finds in Facebook." This is an area where a user-focused app would let me use an AI to classify what bubbles up to push notifications. Alas, the incentives are wrong for that. App-makers will use the tiniest, tiniest excuse they can make up to solicit attention from a user.

That link is about learning rust.

It’s quite obviously true, that you have to actively think/maintain how long each instance lives, which is simply done by the runtime in your place in case of a managed language.

In my experience, this is not a big effort at writing new code, but at refactoring/maintenance - as lifetimes are parts of the public APIs even.
Why invent a new language so you don't have to close tags? Do I miss something?
It's very difficult to make thousands of up-front planning decisions perfectly. It'd be even more costly to try to perfect every aspect upfront within the planning stage and it'd be more reasonable to make best attempts but to provide for the ability (and budget) to retrofit bespoke alterations to fix problems that arise at a later date.

Modern software development, and especially UI design, in a nutshell.
The only reason Flac is the most popular sound code is that both compression and code -solving is faster than others. The same applies to many formats such as JPEG, MP4, MP3, Rar, Zstandart. What is fast is always advantageous and is a reason for preference. Even if they are not free. As you mentioned, of course, it does not apply to every situation.

Flac is already existing. There are also a lot of workers on it. I always want to try independent and different things.
It uses less resources, so the resource retains higher availability?
But surely it should be simple enough to look at what alterations have been made on other lines already and start off from a basis that is at least as good.
Thank you - and you're welcome! :)
I have seen stations refurbished less than 10 years where the new benches had to be replaced because they were already falling apart after that time outdoors...

On my commute they are fitting new cladding to hide a brick wall on an outdoor, not covered, platform. All the studwork is standard timber screwed into the wall. Any water ingress and this will rot quickly. Oh well.
Not true. I went to a Reform Temple as a kid and two of my companies I cofounded with best friends who were Jewish. I don’t have to accept your clearly fatuous claim that I’m a Nazi because I’m not.
Hmmmm, there were plenty of videos of people with hand luggage outside the plane - surely taking this luggage was against the rules and has slowed down the evacuation. I won't be surprised if TASS is just trying to cover the story. I think it was a different Russian crash were the pilots were given state medals for saving the passengers. A later investigation found these same pilots were responsible for the crash. The powers that be decided that instead of admitting they were wrong, revoking the medals and sending the pilots to prison they'll just cover up the whole story.
Sure - it is worse than nonsense. It can do stuff like non-compiling code and hard to find bugs.
People would be sitting in the middle of the seats with or without the arm rests. I don't think that would make any difference.
If you have any sources for that claim, you should post them here. As it stands, it's a pretty unusual statement.
It's somewhat reassuring to see an actual video of those chutes being used for evacuation, just never saw it before.
