I like the stairs, until I wondered how handicapped or elderly people would get tp their sought after books.
While I was a regular when I was young, visiting once or twice each week to bring and get as much books as I could carry. I now read less often, and what I read are mostly e-books. I do sometimes sit in VR reading an epub for the ambiance.

There's a policy decision to cover as much as possible of the operating costs of the network from fares rather than government funding. The operating costs of UK trains per passenger-km is actually pretty competitive to European comparators but many countries fund a large part of the operating costs of their train networks from general taxation.

It's also a bit different in that every insertion entails at least one allocation, and every lookup entails pointer-chasing through at least 3 dereferences. Java's lack of proper value types really kneecaps their hashmap implementation in many practical performance scenarios...
Dunno, the lesson I've learned is "have your lawyers look at it, and don't fucking give the VCs full priority" would also have worked.
Tesla planned that everything in the car would be automated, including driving. In such case people don't need a thought out UI and responsive controls and all that can be cut down to either save money or to focus on media entertainment for the passengers. That's why they replaced steering wheel with a yoke, buttons with screens etc. Unfortunately they forgot that car need to be fully automated first, and then redesigned later. Not the other way around.
This is also something I had to learn, not only to be a good listener, but also to be a good talker. It’s really hard to open up and talk easily about oneself.

This article seems to assume paths will be valid UTF-8, which isn't true on either Linux certainly, and Windows as far as I know.

of course we could say "paths must be valid UTF-8 for this program to work" (quite a few Rust programs do require this, as they store paths in standard Rust strings, which themselves must be valid UTF-8), but if your concern is dodgy paths breaking things, you probably need to check for that somewhere?

Cancer is not "a" mutation, and that is the whole problem.

Ergo, it is a therapy, NOT a cure.
That's just lame, sorry to say it. I'll start with the end by saying that most probably voice command won't work in a downpour, for the simple reason that downpours are usually associated with lots of noise that will cancel out your voice commands. And all the other "options" involve taking your eyes off the road and looking at a big screen in order to adjust wiper speed, all this while there's a potential downpour happening. That is a very big no from me. And, no, "automatic" wipers never do their job perfectly when it comes do downpours, you always have to adjust them in one way or another.

Granted, that guy that posted it was from Australia so that they probably don't have that sort of downpour problem over there (the same goes for places in the US like California or Texas).

Virtually nothing, except weight, was sacrificed to make the 18-35mm f/1.8 zoom. That's why it's impressive.

It's possible due to things like:

- Much better lens coatings (allowing for more elements without flare)

- Computer modelling

- Being able to better machine aspherical elements

On integrated cameras, like an RX100, we can do even better due to digital. We don't need low-distortion, but just well-characterized distortion which a computer can invert.

Those old lenses -- at least the ones still working -- do have build quality. Adjust their prices at the time for inflation, and have a look at modern Zeiss, Leica, and other premium lenses. You'll see similar build quality.

For fun, next time you're looking at old lenses, pick up a Quantaray too, for fun. Or most older (before around 2000) Sigma lenses. Or other off-brands. You'll see unparalleled build quality, but in the other direction -- eighties-era plastic. The optical quality is bad. Not "fun" bad, "vintage" bad, or "whimsical" bad, but just bad.

When we look at older stuff, we tend to look at stuff which stuck around, but even that Quantaray is high-end compared to an older consumer camera. Most people who owned a camera had a non-SLR one. You looked through a little window on top, and the pictures were shot through the main lens. Those were even worse. Or a disposable (a single plastic element lens).

Never played Crossy Roads so I don't know the full extent of what gameplay features there are, but from looking at screenshots, looks like the gameplay code could be done relatively quickly (like some days at max), so doesn't seem out of the question that it's a full re-implementation.

Crossy Roads looks like another clone of Frogger, and clones of that game have been done since the 80s.

> A buyback is a more efficient dividend. It doesn't force a realized gain, and stockholders can choose the size of their cash out whenever they want, instead of the company forcing it.

That goes into financial accounting engineering, something I'm really not fond of, efficiency in dribbling taxes due is not something I consider an advantage, it's a bug of the system.

> You could make the same wrong about claim about dividends distorting market price my making the stock temporarily more valuable shortly before the dividend pays out.

Probably another inherent issue I see in the current system, dividends should be paid out in proportion to the time an investor held the shares, they took higher risk by holding them for longer and deserve the full reward, someone just speculating right before a dividend payout should not have much reward since they had no skin in the game while the company accrued their extra cash in hand to be paid out.

The current incentives reward more speculative and short-term decision making rather than companies generating the most value to society in the longer term. I do not think that's the most efficient way to price companies: return of shareholder value, that should be a consequence of a good company, not an objective in itself (as it's been since the Jack Welch plague over MBAs).

Again, I look at the case of Boeing, a company that gained a lot of value due to producing good products, with quality, and the downfall it's going through from maximising shareholder value with buyback programs, cutting corners, etc. The current incentives do not punish this kind of egregious behaviour enough.

On the other hand, The Allman Brothers Band made a lot of magic before Duane Allman and Berry Oakley died, much of it recorded officially or bootleg. Mountain Jam grew out of Donovan's First There is a Mountain. Which is worth listening to to understand where some of the phrases come from.

Mountain Jam (and their other longer songs) has distinct movements and part of the pleasure of listening to the various recordings is to hear the variations between them. The form remains pretty constant, but the details vary.

For my money, I think the July 5th recording at the Atlanta International Pop Festival surpasses the more definitive Eat a Peach version. The Ludlow Garage version runs to 44 minutes and isn't as focused. And the July 3rd recording at Atlanta is a treat because it was interrupted by a rainstorm. The second part picks up in the middle of the song after the rain. It feels a little more experimental. Those are all comparatively easily found on official albums.

Another treat is Medeski, Martin, and Wood. I'm not hugely familiar with their catalog, but Friday Afternoon in the Universe is an example of just how close the music can sit to the brink of disaster without going over. Like, if they weren't so damn good, it would end in a dumpster fire rhythmically, but they keep it together. It's a truly impressive listen.

Starship will have spare fuel and relightable engines. It could just take off when it starts tipping and go for a second landing attempt on a more even surface. The low gravity is a real pain for landing, but it makes it really easy to abort a landing too, even after touch down.

They say (you can kind of prove it but not really because they don't officially list locations) that AZs are supposed to be on different flood planes and stuff so that the chances of an entire region failure due to a natural disaster are minimized. I think that means that the other AZs probably wouldn't be really close to the power station like this one.

You mean it wasn't because Kathy Lueders had a heavy bias towards SpaceX (she now works at SpaceX) to the point where she forgot to select a second commercial partner for the Artemis missions? When Blue Origin was suing NASA, they were primarily pointing out Kathy Lueders' gross incompetence during the procurement process.

It's kind of weird that someone would select a launch architecture that is meant to go to Mars and whose company CEO thinks the moon is a waste of time for a moon mission. Yeah sure, SpaceX is going to Mars, but are they going to the moon?

Considering the massive delays at SpaceX, their Starship will turn into another SLS type boondoggle. At the current rate of development, it is not obvious that the schedule of Artemis 3 is going to be meaningfully ahead of Artemis 5. If it takes Blue Origin 2-3 years to launch their New Glenn rocket, then all they have to do is build the lander and they are pretty much set, because it only takes 3 New Glenn rockets, which could launch simultaneously to minimize time in orbit and thereby reduce boil off. Reusability is a nice to have cost optimization for Blue Origin. When it comes to the Artemis 3 architecture, it is impossible to stay under $1 billion per launch without some form of reusability.

Why not, but abortion in France wasn't threatened in any way. It seems to me like a marketing coup from far-left parties who are utterly powerless when it comes to economic policies.

Also I'm not sure what's the extent of this right. In France, AFIU in normal circumstances, you can't legally abort after 14 weeks. Is that challenged by this new constitutional rule?

EDIT: even though Macron ultimately proposed this, it was initiated by a far-left representative, Mathilde Panot. Her party, LFI, advertises this as their own victory.

My 2015 Model S has a stalk with a rotary switch for wiper control that includes several automatic and manual modes and speeds.

But I was loaned a Model 3 when my Model S was being repaired and I hated it because most of the stalks had been removed making things like cruise control and the radio much more awkward to use.

After the Wiesel Institute repeatedly requested, in February, Constanța City Hall to change the name of Ion Antonescu Street, Constanța Mayor Vergil Chițac stated in the press that the evaluations of Antonescu's activity are controversial and contradictory and the City Hall will consider renaming the street after members of academia review the topic
