I remember reading about LISA when I was a little kid. Back then it was projected to launch in the far future of 2015. Now I would be surprised if it actually launches in 2035.
Something I don't understand, Boeing 737 have been flying for years without no issue.

The Governor is pretty clearly doing this with the intent of saving vulnerable House seats. HOWEVER, it is misguided IMO because the political capital to get congestion pricing to the finish line has ~already~ been expended. The Governor, most local Democratic politicians, have already come out in favor of the project and advanced it against heavy opposition. The common refrain, that is a very reasonable interpretation, is that this will be re-implemented after the next election. But if all the voters know that, if we elect the Democratic candidate, this possibly unpopular plan will be passed, delaying it until after the election doesn't help; in fact, it makes it less likely for Democrats to get elected, or for the plan to pass.

In summary, Governor Hochul has now pissed off both opponents to congestion pricing, and also supporters of it. It was a terrible move, politically.
Right now I’ll settle for a president that can speak.

> It just does not logically follow that putting more pressure on the legislative branch to be functional is going to work

You're talking like this is a political tactic or strategy used by the Supreme Court to achieve a specific outcome (which might "work" or "not work"), but it's not. Justices aren't meant to make such plans. They are supposed to do their job. If Congress does or doesn't do theirs, that isn't by itself the Court's problem nor something to which they should be the solution.

But it's also worth remembering that what "works" means varies a lot depending on perspective. There is plenty of stuff that is bipartisan in Congress and which they get done fairly quietly. Additionally, to the school of thought known as libertarianism, Congress not doing things is the desirable outcome and thus a gridlocked Congress is in fact the system working as designed, in the sense that it is being limited by the degree of agreement amongst voters on what it should do.
Enterprise inertia is a hell of a thing. I have no idea how you can otherwise justify using Azure with their security track record.
I think this is pretty commonly known, but the railroads built the US American West. It was a hugely speculative endeavor where railroad companies would buy up worthless land for cheap, hire unfavored immigrants and work them harder than anyone else would work, and then recoup costs by selling the land of the railroad towns.
The equivalent would be a $20k Ford resulting in a $1,762,000k fine.

Awesome, do you have GitHub repo with the code? or a website with it running? would love to see it
I mean dawg Rust doesn't even have a standard yet. C and C++ (and Ada! any memory safety fans remember Ada??) have ISO-certified standards.
Sure thing. This site [1] gives a hull loss rate of 1 per 4.94 million flights for jets. For vehicles, the average person makes two trips a day over a total of 29.2 miles. [2] So we can say the average trip is 14.6 miles. And the average fatality rate is 1.33 per 100 million miles traveled [3]. So that's 1.33 fatalities per (100 / 14.6) = 6.8 million trips, or 1 fatality per 5.17 million trips.

On a first level analysis, vehicles are already slightly safer than jets on a trip for trip basis. But this dramatically understates the actual difference, because the mortality numbers I'm using for vehicles are per person, not per fatal incident. In other words 1 PERSON dies per 5.17 million vehicle trips. And I'm comparing that against one entire JET 'dying' per 4.94 million flights, which is generally going to have tens to hundreds of people on it. If you do an apples to apples comparison in terms of trips (as would be the case if somebody just replaced their car with a private plane), vehicles would be orders of magnitude safer than jets, trip for trip.

At a glance, the semantics seem kind of weak. It's hard to tell in many cases why it picked certain scenes in lieu of the concept searched.
Case in point:
I had to take my extended family visiting us to Manhattan for 2 days last week. Total 6 adults. The cost of taking the LIRR and Subway would have been upwards of $180 (LIRR $120 + Subway $60) per day! Driving was much more affordable (and convenient) even with the expensive parking charges of $50 for 12 hrs of parking in prime locations.

Public transportation needs to become more affordable first. I would have happily taken the train if it was comparable in cost.

But, I guess I am the minority case.
The run time library for Turbo Pascal/Delphi for Windows was completely documented, sane, and very easy to work with. The working examples really helped.

The free Pascal RTL seems opaque in comparison. Their reliance on and archaic help file build system keeps contributors away. Thus it's poorly documented at best.

Lots of naysayers but I can think of one very valid reason this might be the case. Our species, and many species on our planet, can see a very narrow band of the radiation spectrum. It’s possible an advanced civilization never developed that but was instead far more intimate with gravitational energy instead. We are talking about the universe after all.

At my job, we build cross-platform software, but we build it on Linux. It runs on Windows, but building it on Windows is torture, so almost all our dev machines are Linux.
The science supports that holding stretches longer helps. But it's hardly the best way to stretch vs. something like PNF. But sure, there's no downside other than taking more time and it's pretty standard in Yoga practices as well FWIW.

My interpretation is that they are notifying customers who corresponded with compromised Microsoft accounts, not that they are saying customer-use email systems were compromised. Do you read that differently?
Fragmentation is killing RISC-V. It’s bad enough to need a bespoke boot and bring up for each CPU and board on Arm, but with RISC-V you still need that as well, but with a custom compiler on top. I’d love for RISC-V to succeed, but with the way things are going it seems unlikely.
My main problems with grpc are threefold:

- The implementation quality and practices vary a lot. The python library lacks features that the go library has because they are philosophically opposed to them. Protobuf/grpc version pinning between my dependencies has broken repeatedly for me.

- If you are a services team, your consumers inherit a lot of difficult dependencies. Any normal json api does not do this, with openapi the team can use codegen or not.

- The people who have been most hype to me in person about grpc repeat things like "It's just C structs on the wire" which is completely fucking wrong, or that protobuf is smaller than json which is a more situational benefit. My point being their "opinion" is uninformed and band-wagoning.

This article gave me some new options for dunking on grpc if it's recommended.
I agree that there might be too many cars for hire now, but on the other hand there's a bit of selection bias at work. Of course they are going to be the most visible cars at a corner, especially outside of rush hour: by definition they spend most of their time moving. Most private vehicles are parked, because (hopefully) people have jobs or errands to attend to. And if more parking spots were free, perhaps fewer empty cars for hire would be driving around waiting for the next ride, but I digress.

Congestion has always been around, independent of lane counts. If you managed to add more car lanes, traffic would not get any better, because more people would drive. Fewer vehicles on the road is a net win, as the air has been getting cleaner for everyone. I get it that you're not a fan of bikes, but a chunk of those are people that might have taken a cab ride, competing with your car for space. I'm all for capping ebike speeds (while Citibike agreed to lower them from 20 to 18mph in a deal with the city, the rest are still way too fast), but no matter how dangerous they are, more people in the city are killed by reckless drivers.
At least initially, I'm glad to see this verdict if it means such behavior can't hide behind the corporate veil. However, it's important to acknowledge it's not necessarily a win-win-win. By reading Justice Kavanaugh's dissenting opinion, this decision seems to delay opioid victims the settlement they previously won.

>"As a result, opioid victims are now deprived of the substantial monetary recovery that they long fought for and finally secured after years of litigation...virtually all of the opioid victims and creditors in this case fervently support approval of Purdue’s bankruptcy reorganization plan."

Time will tell if this ruling gives enough preventative pressure to future cases to make it worth the additional pain to the present claimants.

It's really cool to design all those NOR gates using thermionic valves, as shown in the schematics in the middle of the article. I just wonder if using two regular diodes in the input paths of each NOR gate and another diode in the output path is a little bit of "cheating", since diodes are somewhat newer technology than thermionic valves.

I explored using TSX in a non-React way and have been quite proud of my results [0]. I mostly understand hooks and I get why they went that direction, but I swapped hooks for RxJS Observables in my library. I know for some developers they are just as hard to "understand" as hooks, but no one has ever accused Observables of being "magic", at least. Observables end up looking like hooks in basic component examples, but then you can pull them out and reason with them very easily in "view models". In some ways my library feels more like the early days of React when React was just a library, but with some modern benefits.

> public transit is so convenient

Unless you live in New Jersey, a short hop across the river from Manhattan but might as well be on the moon as far as the subway is concerned. The NYC Subway is great where it has service, but has for years neglected to expand into areas where the people live. Queens is also terribly underserved. There are bus options, but they get stuck in the same traffic that makes driving so miserable.
It isn’t exactly the same but intriguingly similar and is something relatively normal.
Do you intend to take probiotics forever? I understand (possibly incorrectly) that the microbiome shifts back quickly as soon as any of the interventions stop, and while the others seem like they should be sustainable (part of a good lifestyle) I always wonder about how realistic it is to keep taking probiotics for life.
The fundamental piece you are missing with your logic is that the negative externalities of driving a car are massive and not borne by those making the choice to drive. This leads to people choosing to drive a car at a rate that is much higher than the optimal balance for society. The best way to control for these negative externalities (risks to pedestrians, noise, pollution, congestion) is with a tax. In the US, we subsidize car usage in an eye watering and incredibly unfair way, which results in overuse of cars. If public policy were to better reflect the actual costs of driving a car, few would be able to afford it or choose it over other options
It isn't part of this complaint, however the FDA regulation explicitly says that labeling food with "may contains" is not good enough for major allergen cross contamination, which is why companies added them to the "contains" section, and why some companies are actually mixing allergens into he ingredients so they can legally add them to the contains section. (In this case, the bakery appears to have just added the allergens to the contains section without actually adding them).

The FDA should either 1) Allow the use of "may contains" for major allergen cross contamination. Or) Create a new category, such as "Possible cross contamination" that would be considered good enough. This would remove the incentive to deliberately add allergens while allowing proper labeling.

However, there are some lobbyist groups that want to force companies to use separate factories for any foods that contain major allergens, making those foods cost substantially more than they do now to produce. So the of us without allergens can either eat tasteless sterile food (likely leading to more folks with food allergies do a lack of exposure), or to pay out the wazoo for the privilege of eating normal food.
If the selling point of RISC-V is openness, then every RISC-V OEM so far has received an F for bundling in completely closed source graphics, that will likely never allow kernel updates past the manufacturer/Imagination's extremely limited support cycle.
I agree with points more or less and have plenty experience moving around the region to understand what you are saying.

The through traffic comment was a response to my original comment that a person wanted to use the Hudson River tunnels to pass through NYC onto their destination. I picked the Varanzono bridge route as the southern route around the city and 87 for the northern route. I usually go further north than the GWB to crossover.

The massively out of your way I might prefer to NYC city traffic.

I would say your foundation should be the science and you can fine tune to your personal experience. If you're starting from personal experience you're just going to miss out on the wealth of pre-existing knowledge and are likely very far from optimal if not completely wasting your time. AKA reinventing the wheel.

This would be similar to going to the gym and trying to figure out what works for you for gaining strength or muscle mass while ignoring the research/existing knowledge. Very likely you'll get nowhere. The proper approach is to do the research, start from a well supported base, and then fine tune to your own body/requirements.
Off topic, but stay away from ReFS, its far from resilient. I had an array lost because of an MS update, along with a few dozen people, would show as unformatted.

You don’t need to know anything more about math to understand additive colour mixing.

Colour computer screens use RGB - colour printers use CMYK. (K is ‘black’, which is not a primary or secondary colour, so we’ll ignore it for now.)

They nest into eachother, with RGB being primary colours and CMY being secondary: R-y-G-c-B-m-R. Any kid that’s used fingerprints or water colours knows how to combine primary colours to get secondary colours.

You know if you want red, then you do 100% red. You know if you want yellow, you do 50% red, 50% green. If you want orange, which is a more reddish yellow, you do 75% red, 25% green. Brown might be a little more complicated - but still, what is brown? Darker orange? Maybe 25% red, 15% green? Try it and see!

(Also for black and white - again, any kid with a prism and a flashlight (or sunbeam) knows that white light is all colours together - red 100%, green 100%, blue 100%. The opposite of white is black, which is no light at all, which is just 0% across the board.)

I've had great success with velocity tracking. In my experience, once you have a team that's calibrated and humming along nicely, velocity tracking gives you an absolutely spooky ability to predict where the product is going to be two or three months time in the future.

Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's far more accurate than any scheduling methodology I've ever used over a long career.

I can't speak to why it didn't work for you. But I have seen it fail when an outside managers refused to allow proper calibration. Or when the same outside manager refused to make appropriate schedule or feature tradeoffs. In that particular case, velocity tracking predicted total disaster with 100% accuracy.
