This is nonsense. While it is true that they recently included the customary references to Satan, Israel and the USA in their communications, that is to be understood as allegiance to the shiites in Iran. It includes references to standard phrases the Mullahs always use in their communication.

The conflict in Yemen is an old one, and one that the US has always indirectly played a part in, given their seemingly unwavering support of the Saudis. Every power player in the region has been a part of this conflict. It's why there still is civil war in Sudan(!). It's a conflict so complex that makes the Palestinian conflict look trivial in comparison.
It's more useful in C++ with things like generic and voldemort types, but I still would not discount it in C as the lack of namespacing impacts type names, and it could limit convenience typedefs (those which exist only to avoid the `struct` and `enum` prefixes). It might also help transitioning to fixed integer types, which are rather verbose.

Energy expenditure might be related to longevity. Eating more and exercising more (and the energy required to keep your core temperature up) might kill you faster, maybe through free radical production from metabolism.

Seattle is fine. I've lived here and commuted via bus almost exclusively for 10 years now. The bus stop I catch is right at 3rd and Pine, with is the "scary drug dealing" corner that tourists are warned to stay away from.[0] I've never had a problem with homeless people either on the bus, at the stop, or while commuting. Over literally thousands of trips, I can probably count on one hand the number of fistfights I've seen - I saw more fights outside a bar in Pittsburgh in 2 years.

Some people are just scared of homeless people, poor people, or non-white people (or a mixture of the three). For those people, the issue isn't the actual safety, but their own discomfort or anxiety.

I'd bet that the injury rates on commuting even the scary bus routes here are comparable to or below the injury rate from driving.

>We've tried that. It didn't go well.

Why didn't it go well?

FWIW, the communist regimes did that in Eastern Europe, and for all the nasty shit they did, that was one of the few things that did more good than harm. It's how apartments in Bucharest are still relatively affordable despite the massive migration and gentrification.

Unless of course, the way the US tried it was the "malicious compliance way" which was designed to fail from the start, then I'm not surprised it didn't go well.
It just can't be done for meal photos -- there's no way of knowing if the mashed potatoes have just a little milk, or two sticks of butter. Or if the tomato sauce is pumped full of sugar or not. Items that are visually identically can have vastly different nutritional profiles.

There's no such thing as a "cheap" car when you compare it to the cost of walking or cycling. You could buy a new pair of shoes and a bike every month for the cost of just insuring and fueling an average car.

Car-centric design is a tax on all of us. It's just less burdensome for some than it is for others.
That still introduces a fairly serious vulnerability. The lack of salting on the "password uniqueness" database makes it a juicy target; an attacker with access to the database can attack those passwords, then try the ones which are known to be valid from there against the salted passwords in the user database.

If your city is also not getting state roads, state universities, state law enforcement, and state fire protection then great. Any city that refuses to get on board with state housing policy should be cutoff from all of the above.

> When the rover had an issue they actually used the helicoptor's userspace command line GNU utilities to debug and get logs from the rover to send to Earth.

Wow, such a great testament to The Unix Philosophy of building small, modular, focused tools that can be combined together to do all sorts of interesting and more complex tasks. I'm sure no one imagined using these utilities from a helicopter to retrieve rover logs to aid in diagnostics, but here we are. What a cool story.
AFAIK he was also a mystic of a kind and what we would call a "fringe scienctist" in today language. Which makes a curious case when such a character actually builds serious sophisticated working products like cutting-edge airplane designs. The latter leading to a clue that his theories may be worth exploring (they still can be wrong, but there is a chance of finding some interesting food for thought there). Another example of an inventor of similar kind coming into my mind obviously is Nikola Tesla.
I think you're right but I got curious about the numbers:

Because "Fuck you, I've got mine" is no way to organize society. Local control enabled a race to the bottom of trying to fob the poors off on someone else.
Exactly as nlitened mentioned, Clojure has a few difference reference types, which are boxes that hold pointers to more immutable values. The values within those boxes can be changed transactionally. This allows for cyclical references.

We don't allow a Hokou style of internal migration controls in the US, and we shouldn't allow places to block population growth. Both of these systems lead to massive inequality, lack of opportunity, and bad outcomes.

If you want to wall off your city, it should come with consequences such that you are not allowed to pay for services at a wage less than that which would suppprt somebody living in your city. Typical homes values are at $2.5M? That requires income of $500K to purchase, so no more nurses or cashiers or anybody else's enabling your life that does not get paid at that level.

Your taking of property is a continuous denial of other people living in a place. You paid a fix price, sure, but when the value increases, you are now taking far more away from the rest of society.

Land is not made by human hands. You should have the right to the fruits of your labor, but land is our common birthright, and just by being born first your should not be absolved from paying for what you are taking from everyone else.
C has generics as well. This permits the return type of generic functions to be preserved.

I agree and I use public transit almost exclusively. I want better infrastructure for alternative modes of transportation, but every time the subject comes up it gets tangled up with ideological evangelism and comes across as condescending and authoritarian. Instead of framing it as some crusade against cars or using the political hammer of climate doomerism, argue for reduced traffic, better and cheaper options for people to get around, road safety... those are things that everyone can agree on and have been used to support mass transit projects in other countries successfully.
> I picked the GW-Basic book from shelf (my dad had that for some reason) and started reading.

My Dad was a software developer. But for various reasons, he never initiated and practically never taught us anything about software development: but made sure that books were available, so that if it interested us, we could figure it out ourselves.

Well, I and my two elder brothers were each copying things from that BASIC book by the age of six or seven, and making up our own stuff within a couple of years, and we all ended up software developers. (None of my other siblings were at all interested.)

Most children around these ages probably don’t want to learn to code. But, as my dad puts it, there are some that, when they see what is possible, find the notion of making computers do what they want irresistible. We three all definitely wanted to learn to code.
> Some cities do not want housing/population growth. Why is that not okay?

> When congressional investigators started digging into what caused the crashes, they found a range of problems at Boeing — both with the design of the Max 8's flight control systems, and with pilot training — and they found insufficient oversight by the FAA.

And at that layer of the onion the investigation stops, because the underneath is Congress' underfunding of the FAA, forcing the latter to resort to the sham of "self-inspection" by Boeing.

Congress does not investigate itself; legislators are never to blame. NPR, as usual, has no clue.

Your perspective seems to skim the surface of a deeper issue. Let's be direct: what should a country do when 1,200 of its citizens are brutally killed? This isn't just theoretical; it's a grim reality that demands a firm response. Criticizing from the sidelines is easy when you're not offering solutions.

The claim of Lebensraum is far-fetched. Israel withdrew from Gaza nearly two decades ago. This conflict isn't about land; it's about security. For Hamas, even Tel Aviv is considered a settlement.

Regarding journalists: incidents have occurred, but suggesting systematic targeting oversimplifies the complexities and dangers inherent in conflict zones. Not every unfortunate event is part of a larger scheme.

The genocide accusation often seems politically motivated, used by pro-Palestinian groups. This rhetoric can trivialize historical genocides, which were real and horrific. I'm not denying civilian casualties in the conflict, but to say Palestinians are systematically dehumanized, discriminated against, and persecuted is an overstatement. If Palestinians committed to disarmament and ceased targeting civilians, peace could be achievable very quickly.

Consider what would happen if Israel laid down its arms. We saw a hint of this on October 7th. The situation is complex, and simplistic narratives don't capture the reality on the ground.
AFAIK people have bought stuff specifically to hang lawsuits on for decades. If that was somehow improper I'd think there would be precedent against it by now.

Huawei phones, right? Not all phones?
It’s not just that. It has puritan religous undertones. Work is virtuous, and god rewards those that have his favor. Therefore those that have less, are obviously outside of god’s favor. Why are they not rewarded? Because they aren’t virtuous, and since work is virtue, they must be shifty and lazy.

This is very deep seated idea in American culture. It manifests all sorts of ways. Deference to the rich, because clearly every rich person got and stayed rich through hard work and skill, instead of luck and family connections. Harsher penalities for poor people crimes, rather than rich people crimes. Constant monitoring for low wage workers, but no monitoring of high wage ones. Egregious hoops and monitoring for welfare, versus tax credits. Hell, even modern evangelical grifters leverage this idea with their prosperity gospel lies.
1916/17 - Sykes-Picot agreement and Balfour Declaration was pushed by England/the west to split the middle east up. Even though there were already nations there. Thus creating a “home for Zionists”.

The 40’s was the standard “zionists get israel for real this time” after England got its butt kicked by the very same folks it helped in the teens.

But that’s irrelevant to the point that nothing, ever, makes a genocide ok. Stop pretending it’s not just because the fascist and gaslighting zionists claim it’s “not a genocide we promise.”

England did a genocide on the Irish. Zionists are doing on in the Palestinians. There have been plenty of US backed ones over the years too.

Any nation state who says “they’re not doing a genocide” .. totally is.
Car-Free Living Takes Off in Car-Centric Cities
I see a stronger redundancy by using disparate overall approaches of technology.
This is an overall philosophy. I will try to describe the overall weakness I see using the same approach for a redundant system.

A double PV system I see as too homogeneous and thus susceptible to the same risks. A PV system with a solar thermal system for redundant heating I see as more diverse and thus resilient.

I try to design to a 100 year expectation. We all know that PV systems need replacement on a schedule. We also all experience electronic digital systems that may meet are needs but are no longer supported.

I see this currently as a complexity that we accept because the tech is so darn convent.

Solar thermal can take many forms from very passive to a combination of almost passive with the exception of fluid moving systems. The fluid moving systems components are not nearly as specialized as the PV components and thus the overall system is more malleable. This malleability provides for greater variation in replacement parts and short term hacks to get through system failures.
At least we can all agree that knowledge is not the problem. :(

For better or worse. Some of the comments in this thread seem extremely disconnected from reality.

> But the adoption of Pull Requests as the primary way of contributing code has created problems. We’ve lost some of the “Ready to Ship” mentality we had when we did Continuous Integration. Features-in-progress stay out of the way by delaying integration, and so we fall into the pitfalls of low-frequency integration that Continuous Integration sought to address.

Feature branches should be pulling/rebasing back on top of master, so the integrate smoothly into main.

> Sometimes Pull Requests sit around and get stale, or we’re not sure what to work on while we wait for review.

This is a sign to me that there's something going on along the lines of:

- the work isn't actually necessary / no one asked for it

- there are more pressing issues demanding others attention, and it's ok that it's sitting there for a while

- the team doesn't feel confident that their comments will be well received

- the team is dysfunctional and unable to communicate the need for a change to the PR

- the team doesn't understand review is one of their responsibilities

- the team is doing sprints, fills their sprint up with 40 hours/person of development time, then forgets to ponder where time for review will come from.

Fix the team communication problem, or anything else you do is also doomed, you just don't know how yet.

> Sometimes they become bloated as we think “well, I may as well do this while I’m here.”

So it hasn't gotten reviewed, may as well make it harder to review, that'll get it somewhere...

Once it reaches a certain size, you need to take a step back and consider how you can chunk it out to make it reviewable incrementally. If you can't do that, examine how it can be factored differently to allow incremental review.

> First – a trick to help you get the best of both worlds – merge your own pull request without waiting for feedback, then pay attention to the feedback when it comes.

Why are people in such a hurry to get it merged? If it's so trivial that it doesn't require a review, it's likely not so impactful that good engineering practice should be ignored.

Without review, I promise that the quality / prevalence of tests will decrease over time, and eventually you wont be able to trust that the one line change that you're making wont break something in production.

Patience and rigor help throughput. This article seems like it's advocating skipping around those because they require communication and get in the way of "getting things done" a. la. cowboy.
>If you let people build 15 min cities

People don't build cities since we're not in the wild west anymore. Elected leaders along with legislators and property investors do, and their interest is to make a lot of money for themselves while offering you the bare minimum, not provide other less fortunate humans with nice walkable cities.

It sure does eliminate other forms of transport.

You ever see the bill for a bit of rail, or a subway, or a bus line? These things are horrendously expensive to build, maintain, and run. The money comes from taxes. Now that tax money might be better spent on other things poor and homeless people need, or might be better off circulating in the economy and not taxed at all.

But freezing all that value in the form of public transit isn't going to yield the best payoff for society.

That's not true at all. Any works in the public domain are not copyrighted, and there are things that are not copyrightable, like lists of facts and recipes.

Generative AI could be trained exclusively on such works (though obviously it would be missing a lot of context, so probably wouldn't be as desirable as something trained on everything).
