Or we just need to remove the roadblocks to nuclear, stop deploying brain dead reactor designs and move on. The problem is the current "green" push is more about religious belief or the current "in crowd" making money that solving real problems, so don't expect arguments based on logic or reason to be welcomed.
> Nothing sudden about that: you offered your stupid keybinding as an alternative to my awesome ones.

I'll bite, go ahead and show me how I offered this as a solution, quote me. I mentioned why insert mode isn't a problem for me, not a suggestion just mentioned in passing. Read it again please. Is this the problem? That you understand anything I mention as a suggestion? Did you think vimium was a suggestion as well?

What are these awesome keybindings you have if you don't mind me asking for the 100th time? I guess modtap but what program? How?
Given your username I suspect you're quite a bit older. I've mentored several grey beards on Rust and they weren't at all happy about it, at first. After a few months though, they were some of its strongest advocates. It's hard to not love Rust when you realize just how much pain it saves you from.
I've just seen this post, can't we just delete a jar somewhere? I mean...
Better and shorter syntax, plugins, ecosystem.

Both work. The first is more clear
I wonder if it's the difficulty of laying wires. The number of permits that need to be pulled when wiring a city just makes it prohibitive.
I sometimes wonder if it has something to do with the number of people we meet on a day to day basis. Way way back in the day one might have encountered fewer unfamiliar people I reckon when people travelled less, less dense communities, etc.
The fight to keep 6% commission for home sales alive in the US
Yep, I was using MAPI as shorthand for both RPC MAPI (which was traditionally used inside corp networks, where port 35 would be open) and RPC-over-HTTP.

There's also a JSON-based web services API that is, as far as I know, unpublished (which OWA and I think the "next gen" Outlook uses).
West coast of the US here. Mine more than doubled this year and shopping around has been an eye-opening exercise in the sense that it seems to be an across-the-board increase, not just my insurance company. I've been driving for over two decades and have a spotless driving record, so it's really painful to see such a dramatic increase in a short amount of time.
+1 to Svelte. I used to work in Vue a lot but something about Svelte clicked so much better for me. It's so good that when new fancy reactive frameworks come around I don't even bother to get distracted - not even for a week (LOL) ;)

I'm curious to see how Svelte v5 takes hold. I get the motivation behind why it's been created, but it does dramatically change the syntax to make things feel less "Svelty".

It's an interesting side-effect of a maturing project. A lot of the things that make Svelte <=4 enjoyable is how approachable and logical it is. I understand how more complex projects need more ability to split up large components, etc., so Svelte 5 logically makes sense, but it loses some of the charm and simplicity of the original.
Office 365 is was introduced in 2010. So when it was created Microsoft had two reasonable options:

1. Accept the performance penalty from using a safe garbage collected language (such as their own C#) which is slower which may make the service less attractive and more resource hungry which means more expensive to run at scale.

2. Accept the correctness penalty from C++ which delivers good performance but will cause an endless stream of bugs, some very hard to diagnose.

Rust makes this much easier, because you aren't paying the correctness penalty, your Rust will probably have the same or fewer correctness bugs as your C#, and yet you get the good performance you'd have wanted from C++.

For a 2010 product Rust was not an option, but presumably at some point in the last say five years, Microsoft did the maths and worked out that unless they're killing Office 365 soon or somehow C++ magically becomes safe with no work, a transition to Rust is cost effective.
Why is that amount their share, and not more or less? Corporate taxes are pretty low, and also capital gains, so I tend to think it is much less.

Oh, I forgot, poor victim Elon! The right-wingers pull out this rhetoric so consistently, it's a parody of itself every time. But now Elon Musk is a victim? Whose next? Trump?
CA also has sort of a price cap on wildfire home insurance, which has prompted many insurers to leave the state entirely.
I think we should collectively lower our quality standards and accept grammatical errors in books.

As human are fallible, a mistake in a book would show that it's "human made".

Or start a "no ai used" certification process like for organic vegetables?
I don't know. We have started using Epic Pure filters. They claim to filter PFOA/PFOS [1].

Don't take this as a recommendation though. I have no expertise in this at all and I haven't done any tests to confirm whether Epic's claims are actually true.

> I think it would be more accurate to say, in the Alpine ecosystem, it is generally not advised to pin versions of packages at all. Actually, this is not so much a recommendation as it is a statement of impossibility: You can't pin package versions (without your Docker builds starting to fail in a week or two), period. In other words: Don't use Alpine if you want reproducible (easily cacheable) Docker builds.

Agreed, should have been clear with my sentiment there. Thanks for stating this :)

> Personally, I'm very excited about snapshot images like https://hub.docker.com/r/debian/snapshot where all package versions and the package sources are pinned. All I, as the downstream consumer, will have to do in order to stay up-to-date (and patch upstream vulnerabilities) is bump the snapshot date string on a regular basis.

This is really helpful, thanks for sharing. Looks like it will be a good change, fingers crossed.
Hmm I was going to say something about Stallman-like fanaticism, but then I remembered Stallman proved to be mostly right...
What you call 'American pizza' is basically just Italian focaccia with just more stuff on top, with very thick bland crust. Literally nobody in Europe eats pizza in such a form, not in restaurants at least, and for Italians living in Italy that would be a proper insult. Then in my experience there is simply too much on top of it, especially too much cheese, so 1/2 of US pizza is way more filling and has tons of calories compared to full one down here.

I am not commenting on taste which may end up more than fine, just looks. But that thick crust adds tons of empty sugar calories to the food that originally doesn't have so much.
As one example, I wrote this comment a few weeks ago:

But to expand a bit, for example I'm annoyed at many of the entries calling their subject "conspiracy theory/ theorist". Not that conspiracy theories and their believers don't exist, but at this point it has become a highly pejorative and judgemental term to frame ideas and narratives that need to be stigmatized rather than explained. Passing judgements should not, in my view, be the primary focus of an encyclopedia entry.
The Milkyway is 'only' 100 to 150,000 light years across, in total.
My in laws side of the family still has plenty of grocery coupons active in their area. It’s definitely not a poor person thing. It’s a generational / cultural thing.
"“I’m not saying this will be the solution, but I think everybody has to work toward every possible solution,” said Dr. Szapudi, the astronomer who proposed tethering a sunshade to an asteroid."

Fully agree with this. We need solutions, long term and short term. It's time to consider and fund climate engineering.
I've used both a top loader (currently a speed queen) and a front loader washer each for more than a decade. I have many t-shirts that are 20+ years old. Any wear from the washer seems negligible in comparison to the wear from actually wearing the clothes. There's no discernible difference.

But there's a HUGE difference in terms of ability to clean. If I'm out doing yardwork and I have a pair of jeans with deep mud stains on the knees the old style top loader agitators can clean them just fine. The front loaders cannot no matter how many times I run them through. I end up having to scrub the jeans between my knuckles in the laundry sink - moderate agitation breaks up the mud and it rinses out easily.

I suspect a lot of this "agitators are rough" nonsense comes from modern washers that don't use a sufficient amount of water. But the SQ has a setting to use the normal amount of water so it's a non-issue. Most analysis I've seen (eg: from Consumer Reports) refuses to consider top loaders with normal water usage settings -- the data is basically invalid. A lot of Consumer Reports analysis has this type of problem where the entire study is built on a false premise.

Front loaders might be fine if your clothes never get dirty and only need occasional light rinsing. They're really terrible for actually cleaning dirt.
I think you edited the wrong comment.
Considering the Microsoft consumer software that burns cycles to do trivial things (Teams, OneDrive, pick your favorite example). I do not think language performance should be a compelling argument.
I like dronecopters!
I propose that we shall use bananas as the unit for request rate (one banana = one request per second); it's obviously appropriate as:

1. Bananas are the de-facto standard for measuring the relative size of things posted online. Request rate is a relative quantity, since requests can have varying payload sizes, transfer rates, or server-side resource usage, even within the context of a single service (unlike decay rate, which to my understanding is usually considered within the context of a uniform sample of radioactive material).

2. The web has been steadily turning more toxic over the past several decades; you could call it a form of decay, but all radioactive decay eventually produces stable elements; no such trend has been observed with the web.

3. While bananas can trip up radiation detectors, they are much more likely to just go bad - same with web requests on your server; if you can't process them in a timely manner, better just throw them away.
Whatever you say. For years after I purchased a new car, my car insurance was basically half of my car payment. I haven't had an accident, which was a minor fender bender at a light, in over 15 years. My rates were so ridiculous that I thought it would be better just to buy another car and lower the insurance to the minimum required.

And when you need the insurance, even when you are not at fault, they immediately raise your rates. What were you even paying them for before if they just raise your rates to repay themselves?
For millions of years our ancestors evolved in the form of small tribal bands bound often through some degree of kinship. Probably within only the last thousand years, maybe even within the last hundred years, have your ancestors lived in or adjacent to an urban setting. And then with that probably only within the last two or three generations have you been bound to the 40 hour work week paradigm away from natural light.

It would be very surprising if it wasn’t all challenging and difficult to navigate. Modern society and the expectations it saddles upon you are so alien to our development and present adaptions. We are built to patrol and forage, not write electron apps, swipe on tinder, or file taxes. People often find a lot of happiness going on a hike or camping, connecting to nature in some way, because it represents a moment of release from an unnaturally stressful environment into one where our primal instincts are allowed the reigns once again.
Rust gives you clear semantics on when it drops a variable, so it's being used not only for memory safety but to close files, kill threads, synchronization primitives, and whatever else you want (can be implemented via Trait).

Does C# have any kind of GC behaviour guarantees that are similar?
Perhaps instead of rails you could go for a flying quadcopter-drone with some sort of manipulator arm. If it was light it could even land and charge from the same ports it uses to communicate with appliances.

Of course if any big FAANG-company does this expect it to be beaming everything it sees straight up to the cloud. Amazon already tried this with their Ring security drone.
It’s profound to me how many good ideas there are online that aren’t sufficiently profitable. Reminds me of the fundamentals of the “old Web” full of altruistic endeavours.
I’d heard of a Dupin cyclide but not this, thanks.
Biggest difference is Wikipedia isn't ad driven and the information on there is actually interesting, naturally drives you to explore. My bounce rate is 100% and I rarely click a Quora link if I can help it. 1% useful 99% noise.

I agree with StackExchange, sometimes the random things on the sidebar grab my attention, whether it's some random travel question, workplace, about writing/sci-fi, etc.

Pinterest is another spammy site. Same with Quora. Like what is the model here? Spam SEO, drive ad revenue? In my experience Yahoo Answers was 10x more interesting than anything Quora offers, but maybe I and others like me are the exception and companies like Quora are actually getting eyeballs with their UX and business model and that's why Yahoo Answers isn't a thing anymore.?
holy graals
Also, car design requirements for safety usually leave the car as totaled from almost any accident. It’s basically always cheaper to total out a car, but of course that still isn’t a cheap thing to do.
Consider the difference in tribes that you’ve felt really apart of and those you haven’t or are new to. That’s the natural part - we are wary of strangers. Being part of tribes helps encourage social interactions based on shared contacts, histories, language, customs, etc. We are tribal creatures based in our evolutionary history. Tribes are more successful at hunting, foraging, reproducing, and caring for each other.
Svelte is not SSR first. Svelte has nothing to do with the server. There is no server related code in Svelte. Svelte is a UI library/framework/language w.e you want to call it.

SvelteKit can be bundled with server code, but it's just as easy to bundle it without any server code. SvelteKit is essentially just a Vite plugin.

You can add adapter-static and have to bundled as an SPA and not change anything with you code as long as your not using .server.js files which are files meant to protect server code from not being bundled with the client.
I notice this "report" doesn't consider the impact of banning natural gas appliances. Funny that.
That’s just semantics though. Whatever an “eternity” means to you, it’s still three weeks. And is very different from not being available at all.
Establishing democracy is indeed also a fragile process, but one that has numerous successful implementations (~140 democracies in the world?).

Social democracy has numerous successful implementations (eg Scandinavia).

But the more “hardcore” collectivist -isms have from what I can recall basically zero successes, despite numerous attempts.
UNIX systems, like Mac OS and Linux, use file[0] (or libmagic behind it), to determine the format of the file. (or shebang, if the file has one.)

What has most impressed me about GraalVM and Truffle is their capability of deep-optimizing high-level code like Python and Ruby.

I once saw a demo where someone took a simple operation in Ruby using inefficient-but-elegant syntax (including creating and sorting an array, where a simple loop would have been the appropriate approach in C). He compiled that using TruffleRuby and the entire array construction and sorting was completely optimized out of the generated bytecode.
...shouldn't adding it have also changed the contents and broken the verification chain?
Exactly this.

I was recently involved in a decision of whether or not to make a nascent community SEO-friendly, which meant significant changes to the UI and reduced UX. In the end the conclusion was "f... SEO, let's build something good instead and have users come back because of that".
If the preponderance the documentation and examples favor SSR, I can see what the poster is speaking of.
nah i think pinterest is even a notch worse

46 parsec is nearby to them? Well, it's relative obviously. That means many, many generations away.
I’ve seen the term on all sorts of Reddit subs (not just tech ones). Granted there’s probably some overlap.
I wish Google would put Quora out of our misery at this point.
I think it's a shame the reactivity/signals system from Vue 3 wasn't broken out as a separate project under a different name. They had so much success with building Vite as a separate project, and the reactivity system they built for Vue 3 is so good it warrants the same attention.

It can, and is, used outside of Vue, see Alpine.js, but it's adoption would be so much greater if it was packaged under its own name.

There is this project that even combines it with react: https://github.com/antfu/reactivue.

I wish we had slightly looser compiling between templating and reactivity systems...
The article does state this though:

According to the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (apcia), a trade association, last year insurers paid out $1.08 in claims for every $1 in premiums they took in.
Agreed.

One of the most egregious things is the insistence on using the Bing start page. You have to install an extension to have your own start page (in fairness most browsers are like this these days).

However, lately Edge just magically stopped letting new tab redirect work. At least it loads a blank page, but it is annoying. Microsoft seems hell bent on preventing user control all over their client ecosystem. The same extension works fine in Brave and Chrome - so it is definitely something they did.
The other commenter already outlined the main trade-offs, which boils down to increased latency and storage overhead for the file-per-object model. As for papers, I like the design of Haystack.

I can't tell who this article is for. It describes points, lines, nodes, edges, and Bezier curves, so I thought it might be not so in depth. But it's long, and skimming down I see talk of determinants and think there might be something there. Even thinking that a "Vector Network" is some great discovery when it's allowing more than a single cycle in a graph needs earlier substantiation--I don't have time to read all the background intro throughout the piece to the end. I'll guess that the 'engineering' here is a review of some graph and/or 2D graphics algorithms.
Genuine question: it is weird to find an Apple open source project that depends on Java. Is this because internally Apple has not break the historical link with WebObjects? [1]

It's not unprecedented, but it's not the same as it ever was. Because there aren't as many sharply defined and well-understood rules, protocols, and hierarchies today, people feel the awkwardness of social interaction without rules or a script. By connecting every group to every other group, mass communications removed a lot of borders and barriers, and the internet multiplied or exponentiated that effect. Clearly that has had some positive effects, but just as clearly some negative ones, of which I think this is an example.

If you live in my corner of the USofA the concept of "wasting" water is meaningless. I actually posed this question to an LA water conservation engineer guy. He didn't know how you could possibly water here.
Surely my absence played no pivotal role in their downfall. I didn't
even know Quora had "died". How sad. RIP Quora. But a tjpnz said:

"They're also driving away contributors with more altruistic motivations"

Now, I can agree with that, because I see a very strong alignment
between the set of people who strongly uphold their own values and
have self-respect, and those who stand up for the rights of others and
have something to give.

The "walled garden" internet basically drives away people who give a
fuck.
I read somewhere, slightly higher than Earth gravity would actually be better for life. So on that metric this is interesting. Magnetic field is likely another need and our single large moon helps a lot here too.
The vast majority of science papers are created with a solution in mind that's looking for a problem. Someone pays for an intended outcome and they work their way towards it.

Voluntary Disclosures on US job applications are used to audit classes of hires. If 90% of your applicants are women, you'd expect 90% of your hires to be.

When I select a classification, that race/ethnic/gender should be weighted more heavily in hiring decisions. Thereby I am expressing a preference, which the company then acts on.

You're making good sense about the pitfalls, and I think these might be great for me to bring up when negotiating price. It looks to me like the machine is in pretty good shape for its age and being a bowling alley machine. It also has a topper (that I didn't get in the photo) and seems stock. https://ibb.co/pZV1Vx5
When I arrived the lights in that area weren't even turned on in that section of the building because, as they said, most of the machines are broken. It can't be making him money if it's not even worth it to the run the lights. The out of order paper in the machine looks like it has been there for 5+ years (it could be used on different machines when they go out but I don't think so).

If I can swoop in and buy it for $500 or less I think I'm going to. I have to keep it low on the off chance I end up with a paperweight. My wife won't be thrilled about the booby lady pinball but at that price she can't get too mad. I'll home it at a buddy's house for now if it comes to it.

I'll keep you posted about any developments, thank you again for your help.
