The controlled-access highway system is a fantastic innovation for our automobile-based transportation system in America. It dramatically increases safety, fuel-efficiency, and throughput.

This issue is that the controlled-access highways should have never been placed inside cities, but that precludes the automobile becoming the de facto mode of transportation.

It's important to remember that many of Robert Moses's city-splitting projects were started before WWII. I suspect that some of the worst aspects of what resulted from his legacy were based on vain attempt to use suburbia as defense mechanism to better survive a nuclear exchange.

The irony is that the existing controlled access highways could be fairly easily repurposed to rail if we wanted to, it's just that the automobile addicts that we are would collectively lose our mind if we actually converted some of redundant urban highways into railways.
Since this is a case of McDonald's corporate and Taylor joining hands to exploit their franchisees, I'm not sure how this will help.

If they get it have the legal right to repair the machines, it's kinda pointless if McDonald's corporate merely needs to send down an order such that all franchises must not repair their own ice cream machines, as they would for any other kickback-driven franchise requirement.

My Guix System runs perfectly fine on my 10 year old MSI. But I guess that doesn't count?
The renderer (visual) has to be made by someone that knows how to build/code such a thing, yeah. Then once presented to the end user via the Hydra web app, that user may or may not have various UI components to influence and adjust the renderer output (sliders, buttons, etc). The app supports MIDI, and various UI components can be assigned to MIDI controls.
So you're proposing to change the people. I can't imagine that's easier than changing the law, even if I agree with you that the free market should solve the problem.
That's a great start. Thankyou!
Your first two examples are for severely abnormal GI function. The latter of the two, EEN, is also a short-term diet that is intended to induce remission of symptoms, at which point presumably whole foods are reintroduced.

Finally, the low FODMAP diet is not intended to eliminate FODMAPs nor is it intended to be used long term. From the inventors of the low FODMAP diet:

"Given the adverse changes in gut microbial populations associated with long-term adherence to a low FODMAP diet, we always encourage people to enter a re-challenge phase and under the guidance of a dietitian, find an acceptable balance between the occasional inclusion of moderate and high FODMAP foods (naturally rich in healthy prebiotics) and adequate symptom control. In the long-term, we advocate people follow the least restrictive diet necessary. Further research into the rechallenge and long-term maintenance phases of the diet is warranted."

8GB of ram is already not enough now.
My mom said the same thing to me a minute ago when I mentioned this headline. My parents are avid mushroom gatherers. Not every type of mushroom affects everyone the same way, a friend of theirs apparently ended up in hospital after eating the same kind of edible mushrooms my family ate for years, and it was thermally processed (cooked & pickled).
In response to the comments regarding its "excellent value" at $699, Lenovo is currently selling its 14" ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 for $699. It comes with a Ryzen 7 6850U that roughly matches the M1 in performance[1], 16GB of LPDDR5 and a 512GB SSD. In terms of what the everyday consumer will want/need, having 8GB more RAM and 256GB more storage is arguably going to be more valuable both now and going forward.

Edit: There have been a number of comments linking to reviews suggesting really poor battery life, however these reviews clearly mention 12th gen Intel processors, with an onboard nvidia GPU in one instance. None of these reviews pertain to the laptop I mentioned above, which features a Ryzen 6850U.

It is the way people insist on writing such arguments.
For normal "office use" (web browser, an app or two) 8GB does work well enough. More RAM is always nice, of course, but the $500 you save compared to the cheapest M2 16GB Air now available is quite a bit toward the later purchase of a new laptop in 3-4 years.

Of course, sometimes refurbished M1s will appear.
My decade old experience in intelligence is telling me that's a psyop, you can clearly see how the pentagon has learned from both Ukraine's conflict [1] and Iran [2], they got red-handed caught using it for military purposes, so they are doing it differently here, we all know what the US is cooking for Taiwan/China, let us be civilized and debate in peace, if you don't understand what I am talking about, please ask questions, I know flagging is tempting, it's easier to bury the uncomfortable truth than to deal with it

Java lib to test Module Size
Simple java lib to test module size.
The library is designed for analyzing the size of modules within a project based on lines of code (LOC). It provides functionalities to calculate and visualize the distribution of code among different modules, helping developers understand the codebase's structure and identify potential areas for optimization or refactoring.
By definition, every company raising VC money is losing money. Maybe look at AI projects that aren't VC backed? Lots of open source stuff is also indirectly VC funded too, if you trace the money.

It's not like they'll lose money forever. Some end up like telcos, just a part of the background. Some end up like FAANG, utilizing an advantage until they become rich and die from complacency. Some end up enshittifying like Twitter/X and Reddit; they hit the brakes hard to cut costs but users still don't leave.
plus if they're claiming to be offering a choice, where's DuckDuckGo, Yandex, etc.

If Taylor buy $X machines back for $X plus agonizing financial penalties, then figures they'll recover the losses selling $2X machines...$4X machines - then the SEC will be expecting "Taylor may not be a viable or sustainable business" disclosures in Taylor's next quarterly filing. If there is one - major creditors and investors could move first.
How do you feel about Twitter vs Fediverse? People don't like Fediverse "because it's hidden", but they like it because of the qualities it has, many of which are influenced by it being hidden. If it was bigger and still had those qualities, that would be fine too.
Neat. I did a similar thing for analysing the output of commands that can produce JSON (SLURM in this case). Worked pretty well but I immediately ran into PRQL's lack of support for DuckDB's struct types.
Surplus?

Is this purely Apple offloading their surplus discontinued Macs to Walmart?
How so? It looks a lot like a less-rich Java, whose type system has existed for literally decades. In fact, the generics syntax and type erasure was directly influenced by Java.

For an identical price point you can get a brand-new ASUS vivobook[0] which features:

- a 15" 1080p (!) screen

- 6 hour battery life (vs 18h)

- plastic frame (vs aluminum)

- inferior cpu performance (Intel Core i7 1255U vs M1)

Though it does have some pros:

- 16gb of ram (vs 8gb)

- 1tb of disk (vs 256gb)

Seems like the M1 MBP is a great option and I'm glad it's more accessible.

Ive got N machines around the house for various tasks but unless Im sitting at my Main Battle Station, my M1 MBA is my goto machine. Competent for more than it should be, disappears in your backpack, great screen if you don't mind the size and battery sipping architecture. This thing was hard to beat at $1K and at $699 JUST GO BUY ONE ALREADY. 8GB memory initially scared me but I have the M1 Mini and the M1 MBA with the same guts and 8GB in M1 land is NOT the same as 8GB on other architectures. I run a full featured trading platform (Trader Workstation+my own code that does the heavy lifting) and right now Im sitting at 6.2 of 8GB "used" and its snappy as could be and apparently ZERO swap is being used too.

I run an i9 MBP 16" as my main battle station and I really do think the UI experience on the M1 is snappier. One day I'll have the excuse to upgrade to the latest M* version for that too and Im looking forward to it. With the M1 you will never hear the processor fan kick on because there isn't one because its not even necessary. Im no AAPL fan boi here but this is a no-brainer 200%.
They're not the only ones either! Turing.com does it too, and they keep switching domains to avoid blacklists. They've even spammed over SMS!
I had it once, and I wouldn't call it a "mild inconvenience". It was basically two days for me, one to sit at home dealing with the laxatives, and another recovering from the sedation.

It wasn't excruciating, and it's sure as hell better than cancer. But I'm glad I don't need to do it again for another decade.
You shouldn't be. Both can easily kill you.
I don't think that's a particularly relevant metric, as we can easily restrict programming to languages like Lisp/Pascal from the 70s, and the landscape doesn't change much.

I'd also suggest that our chess bots have evolved dramatically in that time. Deep Blue works very differently than AlphaZero, for example. Deep Blue might not be suited to code generation, but AlphaCode spawned from AlphaZero.
Steens mountain is one of my favorite places I've visited. I found it when I was young by just looking at maps for what seemed like the most remote area I could drive to. Unfortunately it was humid in the summer when I went and the stars weren't as notable as I expected, but the vast emptiness, the epic landscape, and the pronghorn made it worthwhile.
The usual cycle of capitalism going through cities. This thing where vultures move in and monetize things that other people created for free is a peculiarity of the way our economy works, not a universal truth (although it's a universal truth that it happens wherever it's allowed to, it's not universally allowed to happen).

Even if Apple just got their normal distributor markup and nothing else, they just offloaded a metric ton of these things, got a bunch of PR, and have more visibility.

Tons of families will notice a $700 Mac, and Walmart already sells iPhones and watches, so they have worked together.
The Asahi developers do great work, but I have heard it is not yet at the quality necessary for daily driving. I might be wrong here, however, and I will give it a try once Apple stops updating my M1.
I agree with everything besides the single language.

Something like D or Nim would also count, although I do grant they feel like toy ecosystems when comparing with .NET.
I got the M1 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM for £730 second hand off eBay as a backup laptop shortly after buying an M1 Pro 14”.

Then when I travelled for a few months I only took the Air with me, and it’s incredible how I could pretty much do all of my day to day development on it. The single core performance being pretty much the same is such a huge win.

After having a £3000 Surface Book 2 for a few years which is truly one of the worst devices I’ve ever owned, the M1 Air is by far the laptop I’ve got the most value out of.
That's the difference in strategy. Apple only cares about profits not about market share. Market share only matters when margins are low and you need volume to bring revenue numbers up. When your margins are high, you can have a much smaller market share but also use that to create a more opinionated brand image and drive brand loyalty.
IMO it was always just a "skilled labor" job, but somehow the demand put us in white collars. Heck, nobody brought up that software engineers aren't held to the same standards as any other engineer.

There have been initiatives and proposals from various legislators and interested parties to revamp the DMCA. Without fail, they all seem to universally make things worse for the rights of the consumer and small creators while vastly increasing corporate power. A few token concessions to normal people that inevitably have large loopholes or wording that make them actually meaningless.

So it may be the case that, while it is really shitty in a lot of ways, there is currently no way to open up that Pandora's box and change the DMCA without things getting much worse. The incentives and influences in place for legislators today are simply too perverse.
"We can attach a shop_id to all shop-owned tables and have it serve as a sharding key. Moving a shop from one shard to another involves selecting all records from all tables that have the desired shop_id and copying them to another MySQL shard. For this post, it’s helpful to think of each pod as a MySQL shard."

Sounds like this is just normal sharding. Completely different from having a totally separate schema like GP proposes (with that approach you don't use sharding keys at all).

> Ten years ago was pre oculus rift. We weren't saying anything about VR headsets.

Rift DK1 was released in ~2013, and lots of gamers bought it throughout 2014. We got the first "consumer release" for the original Rift in 2016. I think its more than fair to say 10 years - we were absolutely talking a lot about Rift DK1 in 2014.

> Five years ago was pre valve index

Valve's first consumer VR headset was the HTC vive, released in 2016:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Vive

"The first-generation Vive was announced in 2015, as part of a collaboration with video game studio and distributor Valve Corporation, and implementing its VR software and hardware platform SteamVR; the first-generation consumer model was released in April 2016."
They are selling for $650 at Costco.
In Berlin there's a park, Westpark am Gleisdreieck, that occupies an old rail yard and covers up a rail tunnel underneath. I can testify although it still feels like the park is a dividing line between separate communities on each side, it's nowhere as divisive as an actual railway that you couldn't just walk over.
I didn't see any cases there of someone getting hassled for modding their own gear. Which one should I be looking at that backs up your contention?
It's not clickbait. It provides a lot of evidence as to why Adam Back is Satoshi. Not just "he uses double space" either. It would be helpful if you could actually respond to points the video made, instead of making hand-wavy statements (common reaction). Of course Adam still has plausible deniability, because this sort of thing is impossible to prove 100% without Adam coming out and signing a message with Satoshi's key.

The amount of coincidences though makes Adam the most probable Satoshi candidate by far, but obviously people would prefer to think that Paul Le Roux is Satoshi, or someone else, because that makes for a better story than the obvious candidate being Satoshi.

That has a touchscreen, and isn't a bad deal for $700, depending on your use case.

It's so hard to know if it's a good quality device or if it'll feel like a cheap plastic toy, but if it has survived being on the show floor at Walmart it's probably pretty durable.
This is not a museum. It doesn't prevent new things from happening or old things from closing down, although it may provide some legal weight to prevent them from being forced to close down or not happen (e.g. because the CDU wants to build a highway through the poor part of town, as it does right now).

Demoscene is on the same list, but that doesn't mean UNESCO is forcing demoparties to run a certain way or forcing demosceners to make demos a certain way or that any of it became a museum. It just means the government shouldn't try to shut it down. Maybe it enables the government to make some official demo archive in the future or something, but what's wrong with that? A demo museum can exist at the same time as an active scene, just like museums about the past of Berlin can exist at the same time as Berlin exists, and the same in techno.
> Python is for software people. Matlab, Julia and R are for people who only write code because they want answers.

Or, Julia can be for both.

Julia lets you start from scientific calculations scripts and grow your code to a larger software package. Same as Python grew popular 20 years ago because it let you grow your small sysadmin scripts to larger software.

Matlab and R are too limited in their "real programming language" constructs, and it gets painful when your codebase grows larger. Julia has all "real programming language" constructs a software engineer would need.
I think the performance problems of Visual Studio are more in regard to architecture and legacy than the platform it runs on, though running it modern .NET probably could achieve various performance improvements. That in itself is probably a huge undertaking, since it runs on .NET Framework now, probably also with a lot of C++/CLI.
> read, not-ikea

At least with most IKEA products you assemble them yourself, so the level of quality is immediately apparent, and the pricing reflects it. I appreciate that straightforward approach.

Most everything I've bought there has outlasted my desire to keep using it. There are the occasional problems, like a blue table where the veneer shows a bright white mark wherever it gets nicked, but I feel like many criticisms are unfounded and often come across as elitist.
Exactly why most my Mac devices have been used at work and not bought by me for private purposes, where I keep being a Windows/Linux user.
I'm not completely disagreeing.

But it is one of the few "engineering fields" where many of the top performers don't have degrees or formal educations.

It would be a shame to gatekeep devops engineers with leet code exams for example.
Exactly. Binarymax, spill the beans.
"But it should have a link to unsubscribe"

How about don't send it in the first place? Nobody wants your unsolicited marketing emails, certainly not repeatedly for years.
Simple solution (with some obvious tradeoffs):

You can’t receive shortcode or other SMSs for X hours after porting/doing a SIM replacement. Maybe just block everything with numbers in it, or “code” or “security” for this time.

Now if your phone goes dark, you get some notice to take action before your world falls apart.
I think the most important thing you can do, if creating a handwriting font, is simply to create multiple versions and come up with a way to pick glyphs from them at random when composing text with it. If you don't do that, your font will never, ever make it out of the uncanny valley, no matter how much work you put into getting the details right.

I get so much junk mail that tries to fool me into thinking it's addressed to me personally with script-style fonts. Some of the fonts are very nicely done, but all I have to do to dispel the illusion is to compare two instances of the same glyph and observe that they are identical.
It appears battery life is really unacceptable with the P14s, being somewhere around 2-4 hours. I don't even bring my charger to work with me, these days.
Windows too. I recently had to toss a 10-year-old PC because the recent versions of Windows refused to install on it.

For Mac users who want to run current/recent versions of macOS on old Macs, I've successfully used OpenCore Legacy Patcher to run Sonoma on a 10-year-old Mac mini.
> Even when a result is genuine, it’s very easy to fail to replicate it.

To the extent that is true, then it is itself evidence supporting the proposition that not-yet-replicated results should be regarded as provisional.
This looks like an incredible tool, so much more flexible than existing options. What's next on the roadmap?
The quickest way for most is to look at the leaves/needles.

Coast Redwood needles look more like a fir tree - flat and extending from a central spine. Coast Redwood cones are about the size of a small marble, about the diameter of a fingernail.

Giant Sequoia needles look more like cypress or juniper - strings/ropes of needles. Giant Sequoia cones are about the size a large chicken egg yolk.

Dawn Redwoods are native to China, previously thought extinct and only recently (1940s?) discovered to be living. Their leaves look more similar to Coast Redwood. I have no idea how common they are in cultivation/landscaping.

I have the M1 Max MBP at 32GB and it replaced a basically top-of-the-line Intel MBP and I couldn't be more content with it. Everything just works and works well, too well - I've not been able to justify even thinking about upgrading it, and it's almost 3 years old.
As someone who is deep inside the Apple ecosystem after making enough to afford the devices, it’s because they make it pleasant to use. Before my first MBP, I had a Dell Inspiron which has good specs, but it was heavy, the plastic was flimsy and the screen was not good. The trackpad was abysimal. In my last work position, I got a Dell XPS and it was the same, so in the span of 8 years, nothing changes to show that they care for me as a user.

Most people don’t want to think about how to do something or care about optimizing it when they can get it done and not think further about it. But companies seems to want to put a lot of barriers into what I want to get done, like popups, complicated screens, ugly interfaces. For the majority of user workflows, Apple offers a simple, unobstrusive way to do them. Starlink routers are almost the same in that regard (the mobile app could use some work, and perhaps add a desktop interface)

My advice (as a user) is for to simplify the usual workflow to the point you only ask the few (0,1-3) indispensable questions, and then get out of the way. Further options can be buried inside Preferences and Settings. And then you perfect the apperance, ease of use, and general enjoyment of using the application/device.
Battery life is a very different aspect though, see for example https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/s/AYsQUrG36i
Hoping for Kessler syndrome :)
Sorry but ThinkPad's keyboard is way better. Apple is too stubborn to improve theirs.
