Well, I am sorry that policing in your area is poor... But perhaps an actual crime in progress would elicit a different response.

I have called the police twice in recent years, once for a road traffic accident in my street and once for road rage and they showed up in under 5 minutes (UK). It's not possible to generalise, but I suspect that a report of an assault in progress should get a quick response (maybe don't mention the water guns too much ;) )
This is more apocryphal than lore, but the understanding I've picked up from EE friends is that standard cells are used because they're proven to work in a given fab process. You don't want your layout software coming up with a trillion different gate prototypes in the midst of laying out your logic circuit!
I've visited Barcelona a couple times as a tourist and their anti-tourist feelings were always very odd to me, never experienced it elsewhere. Throughout the city is lots of graffiti in popular spots saying "Death to tourists" and such. Then there was a protest march at night where everyone wore masks, chanted through many streets that had outdoor dining, and physically made people put their phones away if they tried recording at all.

Like I get being upset if you feel you are being priced out of your home city, but why place the hate/blame on the tourists? As a tourist I'm trying to enjoy the city and culture and earn money for the residents, not cause societal issues for the residents. If there is an accommodation available for me to book then I will book it because I assume I am welcome. Why not protest the politicians who are deciding the policies?
This is marginally true but misleading. There is not a consistent definition of what data is considered "essential" so the current consensus is that for all cookies - whether it be a first-party non-tracking or not - you are safest to just have the consent banner.

I've worked with four separate GDPR legal teams over my career and none have ever agreed that there is was any such use case as "essential-only" data.
All those are half-measures for me. It's either open system like x86 PC or closed like the current iOS/Android. Open for some, in some cases, in EU only, is not helping really.
There's winners and losers behind any aggregate economic statistic like GDP and the ones you cite. I think that should be obvious. Do you think those people with the water pistols are winning?

Yeah, before they measured the impact of a good recommendation algorithm.
That's how trains work (here).

Every ticket must have one name and surname on it, no matter how many passengers it covers. That person must be traveling on the ticket.

You're usually asked for some kind of photo anyway because of discounts, which a very significant percentage of train riders are entitled to.

I think this is because tickets must be both printable and verifiable offline in case the train gets into a spot with no connectivity when the inspector is inspecting tickets.
"Five distinct qualities — energy, imagination, resilience, good judgement, and focus on a goal" are what make Paul Graham's ideal of persistence.

I love personality theory so I just wanted to dig into what that would mean using those terms.

Energy + Resilience would probably fit best under - Extraverted Sensing.

Imagination, good judgment and focus on goal - Introverted Intuition.
> I still don't blame the developers, I blame government.

Yes, but I think they still have some responsibility, even if they say "I was just following orders!" [1]

Finding the source of the error is not the same thing as meting out punishment. I am not aware of any pilot being criminally charged for making a terrible mistake.

Though their careers are usually ended by it. That seems fair to me. An engineer at Boeing who could not be relied on will also find his career shunted to working on non-critical stuff. That's fair as well.

> That not all events are caught at the pilot layer is to be expected.

Of course.

But consider that piloting can all be automated today. Why isn't it done? Because pilots are the backup system for unexpected failures. A great deal (most?) of pilot training is training on what to do in an emergency. One aspect of that training is turning off the stab trim system if the system runs away. It's a switch on the console in easy reach, and it's there for a reason.

Remember that Boeing also sent out an Emergency Airworthiness Directive to all MAX pilots after the LA crash. The EA pilots did not follow it.

Do you want to fly with pilots who don't read/understand/remember emergency procedures? I don't. I wouldn't put them in prison, though, I'd just revoke their license to fly. Pilots undergo regular checks for their competency. No pass => no fly.
Anyone else's blood boil at a world historical genius being required to verbally bow and scrape before an adolescent that did nothing more significant that being born to noble parents?
And what, exactly is the ROI on "better"? Who cares if the model is better, is it 100B better? Who are going to buy these services, what consumer will pay for it?
Tourism is a drop in the water compared to mass immigration. Catalonia, and Barcelona metro in particular, had a flux of African immigrants who in turn have families with 6 to 10 kids. And insignificant new housing. But they choose to bother tourists because it's cool.

libreadline supports a basic vi mode. In bash, `set -o vi` lets you use vim-style editing. It is a lifesaver.

I used to work for a corporation that was legendary for their Quality (note the capital "Q" -I got used to denoting it that way). They have been making precision optical gear for over a hundred years, and fetch many thousands, for their consumer (really, professional) kit. Thousands of successful people have built their entire careers around this company's gear.

If you want to see "stubborn," look no further than their QA Division. In the US, there used to be a running joke, that if you had "Quality" in your job title, it meant your career was dead. At this company, it meant that you were headed for Executive Row. Many VPs and General Managers (a very powerful title, at this company), were former QA people.

And, boy, were they a pain to deal with. They would have 3,000-line Excel spreadsheets, and if even one of those lines was a red "X", the entire product line could get derailed. I had a project that we worked on, for 18 months, get nuked at the last minute, because they didn't like the Quality. I worked with an SV startup, that had a project canned, for pretty much exactly the same reason. The startup folks didn't seem to take the Quality seriously, which was basically a death sentence.

In that company, the kind of "stubborn" the QA people demonstrated, would be considered absolutely essential. I know that most folks around here, would not put up with it for a second.

They wouldn't be wrong. Making superb-Quality stuff is not a big moneymaker. You want lots of money, make lots of cheap, crappy things, and sell them at a small margin. The market is a lot bigger, and most people have much higher tolerance for crap than this company's customers.

As is the case with almost anything in life, "it depends." There's really no one-size-fits-all, "magic elixir." Every end may be reached by a different path.

Any evidence that the money went to the actual people living in Barcelona, and whether the money that did go offset the rent and other cost increases?
The jobs being created aren't high-paying professional jobs either, they are largely service jobs in areas too expensive for the workers to live. So they have to commute long distances on often underdeveloped infrastructure.

> I personally think they're moving in the wrong direction

the other direction is to put everything in systemd. :)
There is a lot of cultural baggage in rating scales. For example, if you were a high-achieving kid in a Finnish school and the scale goes up to 10, you intuitively assume that 8 means bad, 9 means ok, and 10 means good. Which means that you should rate yourself 9 in everything you are comfortable using and 10 in things you are good at.

On the other hand, if the scale is from 1 to 5, it implies a bell curve with a low standard deviation. Especially if the scale is measured in stars. So if you took an Uber to the interview and nothing unusual happened, the driver should obviously get a three-star rating.

At one point, I would have interpreted a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of an RPG I was playing at the time. 5 meant a beginner who had been focusing on that thing, 6-7 was basic competence, and 9-10 was an expert, but not a particularly unusual one.
I'm using gkg.net, ovh and Google cloud domains as registrars, depending on the gTLD.

As for authoritative DNS, I'm hosting my own solution based on powedns, custom backend, and route53 + Google Cloud DNS, evaluating Bunny DNS as well.

Good ones are also ClouDNS.net and digital ocean, albeit it is very basic with only a handful of RR.

I'm not really sure I understand either, I've had this bootloader-free setup working great for quite a few years on my machines too.
This isn’t a vulnerability. It has to work this way if offline access is permitted.
have you thought about automatically generating json language files from pure html? Say I have an app that does not yet use a language file but just code like

<strong>Hello World</strong>

And on-the-fly translation? Say I have a backend that returns english language but I need it to translate it to another language on the fly? It could check whether the translation is available and otherwise generate it and store it. The original text key could be a hash of the text and you probably need in-memory key lookup for those hashes.
The market sets a clearing price for the ticket as commodity (i.e. for a single event). However, the iterated game that is the spectator-performer relationship, the seller may _strongly_ prefer yielding some of their benefit to the buyer in exchange for long term EV, positive PR, or just plain old goodwill.

The problem is maintaining a mutually-beneficial but economically suboptimal equilibria.
What I've found is that many times, people like the perceived confidence that obstinacy can bring.

The problem with that method of evaluation, is that it's not First Principles. Basically, pg's essay in this case just reduces down to, "Is that person steered by First Principles thinking?"
I think the idea is, since modules map to device ids statically, bootloader could have enough information to read them from the filestem one by one.

I don’t see the point of doing so however.

"The persistent are attached to the goal. The obstinate are attached to their ideas about how to reach it. Worse still, that means they'll tend to be attached to their first ideas..."

So obstinate people expect the desired outcome to depend on their expertise at some point(s) in the past. Is the difference between the two just humility?
The mistakes made by automated driving usually involve interaction with either human drivers or impaired pedestrians, if you neglect stupid shit like Teslas losing fights with fire trucks because "Cameras Are All You Need." Nonstandard or missing signs and lane markings are close to the top of the list as well.

Doing automated driving right means restructuring our entire surface transportation system to support it. I doubt it can happen without a serious commitment from government... which is in no condition to commit to anything.
Ah, so another Stratis then.
All the waiters and tour guides can't just re-train as semi-conductor technicians.

Even given time, it's not obvious that Barcelona or Spain has the necessary pre-conditions to be globally competitive in another industry that would bring in the same amount of dollars per capita.

It's an extremely ambitious, all-hands-on-deck type of national undertaking to shoehorn your way into something. Japan did it with auto-manufacturing in the 30s. East Asia in general with high tech manufacturing.
Excellent article that really delivers on the difference between obstinacy and persistence. However, I think its thesis uncovers a hidden IQ correlation.

Some obstinate people may not be stupid in the Forrest Gump sense. They may just be operating at their information processing capacity. Facing a hard choice, the first step is shedding the willingness to argue the foundations of the castle they built.

The psychological ramifications vary. Their predicament may even induce them to be unwilling to argue at all levels as a way to conceal it, leading to full incorrigible stubbornness.
The Noncompete Clause Moves Deeper into Limbo
Oh, absolutely, you learned it through practice instead of pure memorization, which overall tends to be a better strategy. But just like chess masters tend to mostly learn game positions (through practice, note trying to do rote memorization) and not some advanced logic, I am pretty sure you learned the specific results and did not learn some subconscious algorithm deeper than "lookup 9*5 in the stored table".
Even government software has issues (Vienna). I paid a €100+ fine for not having a ticket, even though I spent time going through the purchase flow. I have 100s of tickets purchased. Live agent and support agent just shrugged and told me I don't know how to use the app, washed their hands of any responsibility or need for understanding.

It's like there's no way to make the software human and humans in the loop have a crutch to lean on to not behave as a human. When I contacted the dev team directly, they shrugged too. No refund.

To me it feels like software is the place where society can just exercise its cruelty and indifference, or maybe it is a reflection of society, it's probably just like humans are. What we think software should behave like is not human.

I had more pleasant experiences with London/UK train ticket edge cases and felt like the system is built to deal with user/server errors.
They needed reliable connectivity in the previous scenario (checking barcodes against a central db) - they just setup a local private wifi network for the handsets and all the venue devices.

Otherwise I can't see how you would avoid replay attacks.
"Reasoning" implies the extrapolation of information - not the mechanical generation of a fixed output based on known inputs. No one would claim that a set of gears is "reasoning" but the logic gate is as fixed in it's output as a transmission.
I share the author's excitement about `uv`. I was a big fan of `pip-compile` because it was the simplest possible way to have clear top-level dependencies that also froze sub-dependencies (you note your top-level dependencies in `requirements.in`, then use `pip-compile` to freeze those plus the sub-dependencies in `requirements.txt`, and it adds comments noting what top-level dependency brought it in).

`uv` is basically that but faster.

> Laws that have broad support are passed quickly. Laws that lack broad support are passed slowly or not at all

Not really. COVID relief got passed because of incredible urgency to people’s everyday lives. Reform to stop a corporation from effectively bribing a judge would have plenty of broad support. It just wouldn’t have the urgency. There are a ton of popular ideas that get zero traction in congress.

And still none of this engages with the OP’s broader point which is that it’s sub optimal for courts to substantially change the interpretation of law and then punt to a slow moving congress to follow up. The power in congress is not directly connected to broad popularity, a representative of a tiny fraction of the population is able to halt any and all progress. That’s not efficient lawmaking.
Likewise here, I've been a bit more active.
Italy solved this. Five years ago, a new law enforced ID-checking when you enter any big events (like concerts with an audience larger than 5000 people).

Tickets have your name on it, and you can only change the name or resell them through the official seller (so, third party resellers are out of the game). Also, every reselling transaction is registered and can be inspected by the Italian Rightsholder Agency (SIAE).

I too like these Just So Stories of the Startup Underground, but damn, they come off like Malcolm Gladwell forming a taxonomy of the kids that got it vs the kids that don't.

These are all properties of people, that ebb and flow and change from each problem they are working on. It is more productive to talk about contextualized behaviors over the properties of people.
Does that mean the UI you will use to choose the kernel will probably be the bios?
I'm curious if they're proposal will be capable of handling multi-os boots. I know grub can, I can have Linux and windows and possibly even a third OS if I want. I am concerned that red hats solution the well-intended, may be rather myopic, and be commercial only. What I failed to understand, is what problem this solves for systems that I probably only reboot once or twice a year. (Given that it only works with Linux only systems)

For example Gary, Indiana. You only hear the bad things, but never that it has great beaches and trails, if you're willing to settle for a bit less on everything else. Here's a video I took a few months ago https://imgur.com/PItmK2v, I don't think people necessarily picture these sort of views from the armpit of Indiana but it's a daily reality here.

I've been using terminal for +15 years, and I just learned what this is. Because you highlighted it being crazy that someone didn't know what it was, I looked it up.

Neat! Thanks for teaching me something today. This will be helpful, especially after I spent all morning messing with crontabs and logs and permissions and PATH env's.

Edit: Having read more about this now, I'm realizing that I do use a couple of these out of habit. I just didn't know they were called "readline commands". I thought they were just "how to use the terminal". But there's dozens and dozens of other commands I never knew were possible. Brilliant. Happy Monday.
Yup, author overlooked this one that I give five stars. Switched long ago and never looked back.
Global trade woes mount as shipping costs rise
As someone who uses Apple’s desktop Final Cut Pro app almost daily, I’ve been wondering if they would ever switch to a monthly fee as this pro version phone app does.

I think I paid around $350 eight years ago and get regular updates for free. I also have Adobe’s Premiere on my machine but I gravitate toward FCPX and wonder why I still pay Adobe monthly for that app. I might add syncing multiple cameras in FCPX is pretty easy in post production.

I’m wandering if this is a precursor for the future. Apple charging monthly for desktop apps.

>That I know is not true for the case I described: non-union employees in the same industry, working for other companies, were better paid.

Better paid or better compensated overall? Often the benefits of being in a union are access to healthcare, retirement, vacation time, and other benefits that aren't reflected in hourly pay. Often it's just the piece of mind that you aren't going to be randomly laid off in the middle of the week for bullshit reasons or the adequate PPE is going to be provided. If it were strictly money, no one would work at the lower paid company.
As other sibling comments have explained, an initramfs is usually optional for booting Linux.

If you build the drivers for your storage media and filesystem into the kernel (not as a module), and the filesystem is visible to the kernel without any userland setup required beforehand (e.g. the filesystem is not in an LVM volume, not on an MD-RAID array, not encrypted), it is fully capable of mounting the real root filesystem and booting init directly from it.

The only point of consideration is that it doesn't understand filesystem UUIDs or labels (this is part of libuuid which is used by userland tools like mount and blkid), so you have to specify partition UUIDs or labels instead (if you want to use UUIDs or labels). For GPT disks, this is natively available (e.g. root=PARTUUID=4F68BCE3-E8CD-4DB1-96E7-FBCAF984B709 or root=PARTLABEL=Root). For MS-DOS disks, this is emulated for UUIDs only by using the disk ID and partition number (e.g. root=PARTUUID=11223344-02).

You can also specify the device name directly (e.g. root=/dev/sda2) or the major:minor directly (e.g. root=08:02), but this is prone to enumeration order upset. If you can guarantee that this is the only disk it will ever see, or that it will always see that disk first, this is often the most simple approach, but these days I use GPT partition UUIDs.
Nice! The only criticism I have of this is needing to figure out the obscure shell quoting rules. But it is pretty easy to follow the DIY spirit and replace the os.system call with subprocess!
I like this reasoning but would rather ask this question about a technology rather than a language. That may just be my particular field, though.

Most likely reason is that the protestors are a minority.

The “blame politicians” is a terrible approach. In a democracy politicians are elected by a majority of people. If people actually wanted to end tourism in large enough numbers, someone would elections on an anti-tourism platform.
