Far fewer people can downvote than can upvote, though. You generally have to post something a little more evocative than "slightly non-consensus".

But even taking your argument at face value, even if you take pride in having annoyed people for having expressed an opinion you find valuable, it's boring and petulant and ugly to then brag about it. Surely you can't be arguing for that kind of behavior.
The title is a bit hyperbolic. It's mostly about reducing the number of cars in the urban core, improving public transit, and making the infrastructure more pedestrian and bike-friendly. Which, while easier said than done, is a lot more achievable than being literally car-free--especially in more than a fairly small area.
Why did people buy cars if they didn't need them?
Strange, I've found pdf.js (the rendering engine Firefox uses) to be one of the most accurate open source viewers, albeit at the cost of loading speed and ability to handle massive documents.

Are the documents you have issues with generated by some strange industry-specific software per chance? I've seen issues with output from CAD software and some cursed proprietary measurement equipment for chemical labs, but it's been many years since I found an issue with an "everyday" PDF (excluding those interactive JS forms that just yell at you to use Acrobat).
It seems to me that your "objectively better in every way" is subjective.

If it were objectively better in every way, I'd give my car up obviously.
But there's the _small_ matter of major inconvenience with places inaccessible by public transport, erratic public transport, bad last-mile solutions with private transportation waiting to fleece us for all we're worth, leaving me questioning my life choices when the last mile costs 10x what 90% of the journey cost me in public transport, not to mention the overall experience of having to switch between multiple modes of transport each way.

Climate change...yes, but I'm not altruistic enough to go through this everyday.
I think the planned obsolescence thing may not have any legs. My mother has a 9 year old Apple SoC in her pocket which is still getting software updates...

As for all the other things the claims are usable in both directions.

They're still dicks though!

Yea, it's like the government knows the problems induced by rigid structures near the ocean and most people have no clue because they "want what they want" and have never picked up a textbook to even begin understanding the damage they are causing.

It seems counterintuitive, and opposite of what is promoted.

The way Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea fund trains is a big difference with the US (though ironically is similar to how the US used to fund trains in the 1800s). The companies (usually in some kind of private-public partnership from my understanding) who build and run the trains in East Asia typically get land around the train stop to develop into malls, shops, apartments, etc. These sales and rents then fund the train lines. This incentive to keep everything nice on the trains and around the stops to help the other sides funding is important I think.

I don't know where this sentiment comes from, you think NA cities didn't exist before the Ford Model-T? Many of these cities existed and worked even without everyone having a private horse/carriage they just had trolleys.
Sometimes we need to give awesome tools to creative people and see what they come up with, even when we don't understand the implications ourselves.

I think millimeter accurate GPS is one of those tools. It has the power to enable so many things. Things we cannot imagine without using the tool itself.

40 cm vs 1 mm is the difference between landing a quadcopter smoothly or crashing it into the ground.

20 cm vs 1 mm is the difference between a robot navigating through a door or crashing into the wall.

20 cm vs 1 mm is the difference between mowing the lawn or cutting through your flower bed.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be getting millimeter accurate GPS anytime soon. The Genesis satellite might be a prerequisite though.
> The perfect solution to this problem is creating a script that automatically adds a new app to all the relevant places and stuffing it into a Justfile, but that's a pretty big piece of work that requires thought and error handling and a whole slew of other stuff. Instead, it's comparatively easy to just capture these constraints in a test:

Just write the goddamn script. You can put comments in that too. Not saying it shouldn't have tests but the solution to bunch of steps that need to be done always, and in same, easy to automate way is not "make sure the checklist is always there so other people waste the optimum amount of time on it".
Technically the “newline” character is actually a line _terminator_. Hence “A\n” is one line, not two. The “\n” is always at the end of a line by definition.
Sorry about that. My introduce videos are still too few.
This app is used for making presentation videos (online), like making slides and giving a speech on stage.
Concretely, it is a web app that produce videos.
And for anyone who has known video editing, it is a text-based, not timeline. And when playing in the app, it will use a machine voice to read the text, as voice-over. And you can add visual elements in the screen (monitor) at right top, like PPT/Keynote. Each paragraph is like a slide.

I am fascinated they used 60 pounds and a large amount of space for this teleprinter. At 30K per pound of payload that is $1.8 million per flight. Really shows how important reliable printed updates were considered.

And all the flaws of the printer that were managed around - turning it off to save power and prevent it overheating with specific tones.
What are you calling them out for? A bias against torture and violent industrialized murder of sentient life?

There's probably also a bit of selection bias going on. People who prefer car usage will be less likely to go live in places where car ownership is difficult. The longer a city is "car-free" the more of that bias will accumulate.

There's really not much in the article to suggest that the same people are first against and later in favour. It shouldn't be surprising that some people prefer to live in car-free places, but that's all you can conclude without doing polling the same people before and after a change to car-freeness.
I'm fine if you want to go back to the 19th century. I don't.
> However for me, the most helpful by a mile was psilocybin. That whole "this too shall pass" thing is a real thing.

Also for me two big things. I have over a decade and a half of experience with LSD and psilocybin and it has in my view the role of what ecstatic religious experiences had in the past. I can't really bring myself to believe in any doctrine deeply enough to experience that anymore but psychedelics are very similar in terms of insight, epiphanies and catharsis.

> I also just do some weird silly dancing around my kitchen to music

I've come to see this in my life as a sign I'm happy more than a cause. When I'm depressed I don't much listen to music or dance, and the opposite is also true.
Anecdotally, in Houston at least, it does seem true that people come back from travel abroad and talk about walking around, using public transit, and if renting a car, only for drives through the countryside or a particular tour. And then complain about having to resume a tedious commute. It’s almost a cliche, like study abroad students coming home with new affectations.

Or, if they went to certain other places, complaining about how terrifying the traffic was, like “you wouldn’t believe these roundabouts, there were no signs, mopeds everywhere, it was lawless! traffic worse than here!”

To some maybe the connection is more obvious than to others, but as they say, you can lead the horse to public transportation but you can’t make it vote for people who support allocating resources for it.
If your entire life is based around your car, it's your most important and powerful symbol of autonomy, wealth, and personal liberty. The prospect of someone in government deciding one day that the life you live is no longer welcome and your touchstone is evil is incredibly jarring, at the very least.

If you also live in an area where you cannot imagine how you could possibly live without using your car frequently, the prospect of a car-free city sounds a lot like you're being hung out to dry by people who don't care what happens to you.

These reactions are a combination of poor messaging by those affecting change and a failure of a imagination by the car-bound. The first, at least, is avoidable.
I use LogSeq with the TODO plugin giving me a sidebar view of outstanding TODOs. It would be wonderful to have a similar plugin for LogSeq but of course the onus is on me to make that happen. If someone were working on such an integration I would gladly support it via Patreon or open collective, etc…
That’s not true. 2/3 of Parisians don’t even own a car and Paris is a very average city when it comes safety. Density is also pretty low for one of the biggest European cities.

And it’s just a known example, there are a lot of cities way smaller than Paris where it’s easy to live car free.
Because that scenario isn't universal, and while you can't think of a reason, others can. Perhaps someone would rather shop at Costco because they've got a big family and need to buy items in higher quantities. You can't get a Costco in a small city setting, so you need to drive there, and even if you could, shared transit isn't amenable to getting home the types of things you buy at Costco. Or perhaps you wish to have a single family home with a yard, but work for a company with an office presence downtown, and need to take your kid to daycare on the way to work. You could do that on mass transit, but would spend less time if you could plot your own course and just go. Your ideal situation may not need a car, but it's not a universal situation. As for noise, my suburban neighborhood is pretty quiet, and I live across from a park, so I've got plenty of green. I also happen to love driving, so I don't mind that the grocery is 10 minutes away, because I enjoy getting there and back.
How about one 5 minutes away where I can go with my car? Which I feel like these people are trying to stop...
One disadvantage is that many people do travel outside the city to go to an office in the suburbs, to visit friends, and to do weekend activities. I think everyone I know in Boston/Cambridge (which has relatively decent--really!--public transit) who isn't a very recent college grad owns a car.

A big part of "finding yourself" is likely related to introspection, which is interrupted by constantly being bombarded with attention grabbing mechanisms.

As an actual qualified EE who used to design high speed digital and RF boards I can tell you that they might not even be working properly straight away, let alone a year from now. You'll just find out in a year what the damage to your data was.
Yeah basically the reason is that people are imagining their current built environment, which (especially in the US) is often solely and exclusively designed for automobiles, and imagine it without cars. It’d be a legitimate nightmare.

What we need is gradual but rather aggressive pressure against cars that allow cities to adapt their services and layout. Congestion taxes and getting rid of parking are really great first steps.

In the US cars are also a big symbolic thing due to children being pretty much totally incapable of living independent lives until they’re 16 and get a car (or their friends do), also due to aforementioned built environment.
>Eminent domain (United States, Philippines), land acquisition (India, Malaysia,[1][2] Singapore), compulsory purchase (Ireland, United Kingdom), resumption (Hong Kong, Uganda), resumption/compulsory acquisition (Australia, Barbados, New Zealand, Ireland), or expropriation (Canada, South Africa) is the power of a state, provincial, or national government to take private property for public use.

Two things....

1. They spend something like 1.5% of their GDP so they can double the size of their country. This works ok for small countries, but not large ones (think more of city protection for larger places).

2. This will eventually get them sued in international court when one of their projects affects surrounding countries. The ocean is filled with butterfly effects.

As someone who has worked in London for many years, the difference is amazing. Biking in the city is now enjoyable, and the air quality is (subjectively, even without the data) dramatically better.

There was an incredible resistance to the recently introduced ULEZ (Ultra Low Emissions Zone) expansion, but I'm incredibly grateful for the sake of my children, if nothing else, that it has been pushed through.
The silicon strain-gauge effect is well-known, and has to be accounted for when mounting precision chips like voltage references. Here's one where it's clearly visible as two slots in the PCB on either side of the precision chip, to prevent board strain from being transferred up into the chip:

Can’t speak for OP, but one might reasonably expect later stages to only start execution once at least some data is available—rather than immediately, before any data is available for them to consume.

Of course, there many reasons you wouldn’t want this—processes can take time to start up, for example—but it’s not an unreasonable mental model.
I'd quibble with the title. Based on my experience in London, most middle-class/white collar workers love car-free living. Most blue-collar workers don't like it. They continue not liking it once it becomes reality. (Although maybe they realize that it's not as bad as they feared).

I think this is basically another example of political polarization, combined with employment patterns. White collar workers broadly speaking place a higher value on their time and mostly belong to "tribes" that value their health and environment. Removing cars is great for that as bikes give control over journey times (and in most cases in e.g. London reduce them) while positively impacting the other.

Blue collar workers may not be able to do their jobs with just a messenger bag containing a laptop and airpods. Also, their political identity has been dragged further towards the radical-individualism end of the spectrum where collective action on e.g. environment is hard, and trust for bossy health authorities telling them to exercise more is low.

The slightly strange side effect is that you end up with an item which is way cheaper (a bike at e.g. school dropoff vs a car) that becomes a signifier of social status. I am sure there are loads of examples of this phenomenon but none spring immediately to mind!

Well you don't because there is a row of pads stuck to the bottom of the connector which is torn off the board. You can only resolder and patch up the other row on the end of the connector body. The row that is torn off the board will never work again.

Also you may be lucky if it can do power delivery after that. You would be really lucky if it still works as USB hole and you'd be blessed if TB works over it after. They are pretty much transmission lines not DC.
That may be the CEOs intent, but if they have share holders and someone shows up with money it isn’t entirely the CEOs call. They have a responsibility to produce returns and if an offer is better than what they can do without selling their obligation is pretty clear.

I’ve known some folks who I believe really wanted to grow a company but when faced with an offer to buy it they didn’t feel they could survive a legal challenge arguing that they should sell.

There is more to eating meat than supporting industrial "murder". And to be frank, industrial agriculture ain't much better for animals and the Earth.

One can reduce their impact on this planet without becoming a (hypocrite) zealot, unless you can convince me you don't have a car, avoid any form of plastics, avoid pesticides, avoid processed vegan food, do not import avocadoes, natto and tofu from overseas etc.

We can both play this game, or we can be just a little more pragmatic and a little less dogmatic.

I was pretty stuck by that, too, and it made me wonder if maybe I don't understand or underestimate the value of paper transmission.

From my experience, a lot of the hate that car-free cities and "15 Minute Cities" get is from fearmongering from far-right voices on social media.

They're totalitarian ploys that will be used to track your every movement and have the government dictate when and where you can go. They're a plot to create new ghettos for "undesireables". They're to take away your freedom of movement. They're completely antithetical to America! Blah blah blah.
Yeah I think it's a good name for it. In the past when this has come up I've seen people be disappointed or hostile to it simply because there isn't an unbroken continuous european food tradition between roman garum and this.

It's not just a wallpaper, it's general execution, because these things are intended to be able to add general functionality. They can add a menu item to various menus and provide code to execute the new menu, and that's the goal.

You can make a program that sets a wallpaper and write a description, "download my free wallpaper", but that doesn't make it into a wallpaper, it's still a program. The KDE store doesn't have a category for non-programs.

People's tendency to describe a change they like as "objectively better" for everyone is really really annoying.
I was so confused about why this mattered/made such a difference - until I went back and re-read from the top: OP does the benchmark timing in `main`, in the Zig app under test.

If you don't do that, if you use the `time` CLI for example, this wouldn't have been a problem in the first place. Though sure you couldn't have compared to compiling fresh & running anyway, and at least on small inputs would've wanted to do the input prep first anyway.

But I think if you put the benchmark code inside the DUT you're setting yourself up for all kinds of gotchas like this.

As per the Nature paper, this is an immune system mechanism with these particular “fat” particles presumed to help fend off an invading microbe. So no, it doesn’t matter how much fat or not you have to begin with as you cannot as easily reduce the immune system ability to do its work, and even if you did somehow manage to stop this particular immune response it is far from clear if you would get more or less dementia as a result.
