I think you're missing the point.

Many public transport projects are dependant on the community around allowing them to be built, mitigating the impact of said projects allows more public transport to be built.

E.g. a tram doesn't go very fast and is also pretty quiet. A train usually runs a lot faster, and causes more noise pollution.

If you can mitigate the noise, then you'll probably be able to build the railway instead of the tram. Allowing more capacity, higher speeds, and a better public transport solution.

You can also do that with invalid UTF8. You simply treat the first invalid byte of a codepoint as the first byte of a new codepoint, terminating the previous one. In this way, the self-syncronization (self-dilimiting) of UTF8 is preserved. This is what Julia does.

Deviantart was full of crooks 20 years ago. I was looking for a good logo artist. They all had these beautiful, well made logo portfolios that immediately made you salivate. One day I sent a few letters to some of these very good logo artists.

Sent over what I wanted, some initial payment... and then around 1 week later, they showed some hideous, horrible, amateurish logos that had nothing in common with those that were promoted on their page. Of course my money was taken, some even told me I can't do anything with them. And that was true.

Well, it took them a few decades to implode...

Wikipedia:
"The Sistine Chapel is the large papal chapel built within the Vatican between 1477 and 1480 by Pope Sixtus IV, for whom the chapel is named. The ceiling was painted at the commission of Pope Julius II."

I suppose the Catholic Roman Church has always owned the chapel. It then owned the paintings as part of the chapel.

This a case where the artist was so notorious that we know he is the author. But he has never been the owner, he was paid to work.
> I'd say that lem is an emacs. Emacs is a genus, not a species.

The question is what makes this species.

For example see https://www.finseth.com/craft/#c10.1

It's the command set (key bindings, extended commands, ...), buffers with modes and minor modes, the user interface for buffers, marks, the "cursor", extensibility, ...

For example in a typical Emacs the "cursor" / current mark is always visible, even in GUI versions. This is very different from other editors, where the current cursor can be non visible.

Basically there are a lot of similarities between the early Emacs editors (EMACS, EINE/ZWEI/ZMACS, Multics Emacs, ... and others).

Does LEM try to be similar to an EMACS editor or is it only emulating one on demand?

GNU Emacs use might also think of Emacs Lisp as an extension language, a GUI version, menubars with menus, self-documentation, ...

You throw in left-leaning socialist and liberal-conservative as if it's supposed to clarify the story. Both of those terms meant vastly different things from now 50 years ago.

Can you be a bit more precise with your 2 cents so we can actually understand what you're saying?

Social Democracy isn't "socialist left", but leaving that aside, what you're saying is that the social democrats of the time tried to create energy independence(opposite of today's social democrats by the way), that's smart. So the Austrian people's party invested into what exactly? What did they do?

I see that he was in the Willy Brandt camp who was famous for his Ostpolitik, interesting. I just learned through the links that while he was working on normalizing ties to the east, he worked at the same time on anticommunist policies, which is also interesting.

If I get what you're saying correctly then this reminds me of when the plan for Fiber optic development in Germany was sacked to create copper to indoctrinate people with cable TV. It was in the same time frame actually.

If it had focused on railways instead of highways we wouldn't see it as that negative, because rail lines already existed and widening that would have little impact.

And rail is incredibly more efficient, you need very little space to transport a gigantic amount of people.

This is especially true for interchanges, highway interchanges are freaking gigantic. Railway interchanges are cooperatively tiny.

For railway you wouldn't need nearly as much removal, and a railway is far, far easier to cross then a highway. You can start with at grade crossings early on and then overtime add grade separation. Grade separation is much cheaper for a railway.

Or you can build the whole railway above or below grade quite reasonably.

This rail line here can beat most giant US urban highways, Zürich Switzerland: https://ibb.co/sv8tzYK

With cut and cover, you can pretty cheaply build a railway and then build new building above, where the same people who live there before can live.

> For me, the fundamental issue is the highways that divided cities and split the populace between those who can afford cars and those who can't.

So by that logic it good to build highways, as long as the government also makes sure that everybody has a car?

If everybody can use the least space and energy efficient method to get around, surely we have great solution.

Harder persecution both by authorities and self-policing in the subcult community after some prominents were persecuted and agreed with to help normalize the situation has led to the current status quo, which for example in Hungary has normalized the situation pretty much, public transport and stations are generally not vandalized, and some larger well exposed areas were designated as local "legal walls".

It's done like that to try and approximately apportion the cost based on each user's use of the infrastructure.

The cost is almost entirely driven by peak use though, so what would actually be "fairer" (or at least more cost-reflective) is to charge the transmission cost based on your individual contribution to peak demand on the infrastructure. People kind of hate that though because it's difficult for most consumers to predict or control their contribution to peak demand, and for the same reason it doesn't drive behaviour change / more efficient use of the infrastructure as much as you'd like.

In the end it'd probably still be about 60% of your bill anyway.
The first step is removing the "fake" part. You can issue authentic certificates of authenticity. If your certificates are based on some expert verification that you do, people will actually pay you, can you imagine that! ;)

And yes they would want you to say "yes/no, it is/isn't authentic" to anyone who calls and asks.

But if you screw up your records and say "yes" to fake certificates of authenticity that imitate yours then people will stop paying you very quickly. (Also you may end up in jail)

This looks amazing! To generate multiple (almost) equal positions with a given set of pieces can be handy while practicing. I love that there is a way to analyze it on Lichess as well. Would it make sense to export a PGN file of the position as well?

I'm not sure how to put it, but would be great to also include an option to simulate a position with a given opening. For example, 15 moves down the line of playing Queen's Gambit accepted variation with the given pieces on the board would be instructive in learning what's an equal position and how to improve middle game etc. Maybe too hard to implement, I understand.

I don't like this article. It is undersourced and I don't think there is enough of an argument that the political situation in the 50s and 60s is all that significant.

If anyone is arguing based on lessons learned in Urban Renewal projects they keep very quiet on Hacker News. The situation in the now seems to be short-term economic incentives and a genuine belief that cheap energy shouldn't a low-priority goal for society (you need energy to build things).

There does seem to be a strong argument that there are vetos everywhere, but I think people would just add them in to the law today regardless of the political path over the last half-century.

If you lurk around watch forums, watch blogs, YouTube channels, auctions and speak with watch collectors, that is not the case at all. There are many people interested in old Russian watches.

However, there's a problem, many old Russian watches are forged, Frankenstein-ized and you need due diligence to find an original watch in good condition.
At this point telcos are also deploying 5G to old bands, so the assumption that 5G is 3.5GHz and mmW only no longer holds.

In my part of the world I see 5G on 1800MHz and 2100MHz bands in addition to the 3.5GHz one.

Unfortunately that's not done near my home, so I get 1-2bars of 5G, instead of the full bars I see at the office and elsewhere in town.

For a Lisp user the s-expression variant would be more useful, because it is easier to write and read. It also helps that it is easier to indent / pretty print, because the usual pretty printer algorithms can be used. For LOOP one would need an indent / pretty printer with either some heuristics and/or knowledge of LOOP grammar.

Personally I use LOOP because it is built in. But generally I prefer something like ITERATE, which is similar powerful but fits better into the host language (-> Common Lisp).

> Infrastructure projects should not be blamed for conditions they did not cause.

This seems like a strange sentiment to me. Intrastructure projects should not be blamed for anything. Blame rests with people, not things.

And the people running those infrastructure projects, making the decisions about them were the same people that were responsible for many of the other factors that went into the conditions that we’re discussing.

It’s pretty much all the same set of people—the people that had political power when these decisions were being made. So it feels weird to slice out just the infrastructure pieces out of that.

I use Scheme (these days more Racket or Shen) for doing 'language experiments' but if anything gets to production, it'll be CL. Like you said, legacy code, but also; it's just more practical. You give up some elegance, but in exchange you get something which you can build practically anything in, in modern times.

But even that kind of filtering — in fact, even the merging of followed users' feeds! — could all be done client-side.

>Are you an art major to be able to judge objectively?

There is precisely nothing about "being an art major" that gives you any more or less right to an opinion. Especially if you actually had read anything about current philosophy of art you would realize how dumb that sounds in this context. Since "postmodern" theories of art focus on the inner expression of the artist, contrasted with the subjective experience of the art by the viewer.

I am the one who has to suffer through this every day in the train. How am I not entitled to an opinion about that "art"?

The title is somewhat misleading: it is not the core Wikidata database which is splitting, it is just the WikiData Query Service (WDQS) which enables users to run SPARQL queries over its data.

WDQS is already very difficult to use – many queries run extremely slowly or time out completely, and working out how to write a query in such a way that it performs well requires a high level of expertise, both in SPARQL in general, and in the details of Wikidata's implementation of it in particular.
