I believe data from all New York City trips from companies like Lyft and Uber since 2019 [1] can be downloaded from Taxi & Limousine Commission [2]. This data appears to include information such as the fare, date and time and TLC taxi zones for the pickup and dropoff [3].

I wonder if there is enough granularity in this data to make a determination if there's a large discrepancy/variation in fare in certain taxi zones at the same time with Uber, compared with Lyft or other competitors.

Aren’t Debian and Arch philosophic opposites though?

Arch is bleeding edge yet permanently issue prone, Debian is stable and conservative/slow in updating?

Seems odd to jump from one end of the spectrum to another (I use Debian and Mint mostly but have respect for the Arch project’s aims)
"plain old" devtools is really, really powerful in the hands of an expert user.
Ahh, OK I had no idea that was a thing. I thought it was just for customer decisions.
It might just be a case of the price not staying high for long when it is high.

If every time you notice it's higher than usual, you do this, and notice the price eventually decreasing... but you never switch apps when the price is already normal, and you never not try the other app if you wait... in other words, might just be confirmation bias.
Are there many instances of American citizens (students or non students) being killed by Israel? I would say no. I know of a few and they are very famous because its quite rare to happen.
I'd even guess there are more American Israelis that got killed by Palestinians.
I guarantee their algorithms factor in average number of riders who don’t rate anyone lol. Maybe they weight them. Maybe they grade everyone on a bell curve. Maybe they use it in C-suite meetings to determine strategies. I can just about guarantee they don’t ignore it, though.

They’re a tech company;a decent rating algorithm should be one of the most likely things for them to excel in, or they’d just lose to any company that does because all the good drivers they’re dropping are immediately signing up to work for a competing service.

tl;dr It is in ride-services’ best to retain good drivers, no?
Yes, XML is a better structured format than the things before it (random non-standardized text formats). But saying "it's just the same as JSON" misses how many dangerous parts and footguns it has.

There was a post less than two weeks ago on defusedxml [0] - XML parser with protection from various XML "features" - small files causing exponential blow-up, remote access from just trying to parse the xml... It's not related to "scale of XMLs usage", and those are not security bugs. It's "working as designed", because XML is full of weird features that maybe sounded great in 1998 but now just add vulnerabilities. JSON has eliminated the entire class of those.
(and before you say: "it's just python!", check out the "other languages" section. It's also Perl, Ruby, PHP, .NET.

And I am not going to write anything about ambiguities - if you want to serialize an array of points with ("x", "y", "color") properties, and give it to few different XML programmers, each one of them will come up with a different schema. This does not make interoperability easier at all. Compare to JSON, where this can have only one canonical encoding, and the worst you might have to deal with would be some uppercased letters.

JSON is a simplified version of XML, and JSON has copied good XML features (it's not getting namespaces or external DTDs, and good riddance!). So there is no reason to stick to over-complicated technology whose security story is "don't parse user-supplied data".

Nice find, it’s true.

That’s the only avenue I see where porting a AAA-style game makes sense for a Mac financially.

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and several Counter-Strike games were also ported, but CS:GO was later discontinued for Macs. These were done without Apple’s money as I understand. And the discontinuation seems related to support costs on a platform that doesn’t have many gamers.
That is good confirmation. I bought a MH-Z19 as a pandemic project so I might be approaching that timeframe.

Despite "emission" being in the name of the ULEZ, I don't think the article is necessarily implying that the mechanism is specifically that kids were more willing to go outside because there was less pollution.

There are various other possible mechanisms: parents decided not to drive their kids based on the fees, there were fewer cars on the road which made it more pleasant for kids to walk to school, etc.
That is probably not what he meant.

1. The weaknesses of the human condition might be the cause of our destruction.
That's why I am not surprised when people give these anti doomer takes. History keeps repeating again and again and people haven't really learned from their mistakes.

2. The solution to this problem would be to fix or greatly diminish human greed and selfishness or anything else that I might be missing. We would then have greater chances of heading towards a utopia.

We will end up with either a utopia or a dystopia.

Sigh. I can talk about KCRHA (King County Regional Homeless Authority) for a while. It had crossed the line between "incompetent" and "malicious" long ago.

Mandatory treatment.
These companies take software usage and contributions for granted. "Fair source" software will lose out in usage and in contributions to open source software. It's a vain attempt at getting contributions without giving back. They might as well stop the pretense and keep it private. As I see it, if your startup's business model relies on your core code being proprietary, you don't have a business model.
we have these scooters in my (very touristy) town. they make an annoying “bing bong avoid sidewalks” sound when driven on the sidewalk, but that’s it. they don’t limit the speed to something annoying/reasonable like 3-4kph. tourists constantly blasting by people on the sidewalk, it’s not surprising to me that this sort of thing happens.

Slack No More: Analyzing Disney's Bold Move to Dump Slack
I don't think (fn x y z) is all that different to fn(x, y, z). The lack of finicky operator order or other syntax footguns is nice. You're basically looking at the AST as you work. You're one fewer layer of abstraction removed from the logic you are composing.

In real world Lisp, alignment conventions are used that make even a fairly nested function readable at a glance. You'd also generally work using something like paredit, so you're kind of shuffling the S-expressions around like legos. It's not a language that you'd want to write in something like Notepad.

The most important thing about the syntax, though, is that since it's basically the AST, a Lisp macro can effectively manipulate the AST directly and on the fly. This is incredibly powerful, and would be hard to achieve in an Algolian language like Python.

Compatibility with your existing Steam library out of the box will be a huge competitive advantage for Deckard over Meta Quest.

Yes. They named him Danny Devito.
If it's so well known that he lies about his games, I'd say at this point any gamer that is disappointed that one of his games isn't what he said it would be has only themselves to blame.
Yep, I also run central air in fan only mode much more often now. Since I'm in coastal California, I don't need to run heating/cooling for much of the year, so previously that meant central air was rarely on.

Now, I'll run it fairly often for the recirculation. And, since my house is old and leaky, aside from evening out levels, it no doubt results in more indoor:outdoor air exchange too. That alone made a massive difference at night, since I will usually have the bedroom door closed.

And, while I haven't switched the range over to induction yet (it's on the list to eventually do), I did get a portable induction burner that I use fairly often instead of the gas range. Induction is pretty amazing, so I look forward to eventually going all the way.
This game is legend.
The fair trial and "due process" was the initial conviction. The punishment for that is imprisonment until they prove to a parole board that they no longer pose a risk to the public.

That's the thing about "due process", isn't it? It's just a phrase that basically means "the law", and the law can be changed by legislation and judges, and the law can be unjust. The phrase is nothing more than giving airs of being impartial or some check and balance against the law. This hapless fellow got his "due process".
Both BSDs and Solaris provide gmake via official channels.

There is "make" for Windows too, but it's not as relevant - the windows commands are so different, it's unlikely you'll have a cross-platform file for Windows and BSD/Linux, unless you require user to install unix tools on Windows, in which case they will likely come with GNU make.

I think in most cases, using GNU make is the easiest way to provide compatibility with multiple OSes. There are certainly exception - if your daily driver is FreeBSD, use BSD make. But for Mac OS or Linux users, GNU make is a good default.
It seems that way. For a long time, what Apple didn’t use or specifically wanted on their platforms didn’t get a lot of thought.

Most game engines haven’t figured out resolutions and DPI scaling for windowed full-screen games in macOS and for a long time, it didn’t seem like there were many guidelines (bare minimum) or support from Apple.

Third party is just not as important as first party to Apple, I think. Which is ironic for a company that has succeeded tremendously off the backs of 3p devs on iOS. But perhaps it’s a different strategy for each product line. And it’s probably been a good strategy to focus on certain areas and not others for them.

It’s not all bad, you can definitely port games to Macs with some effort. If it was only worth it, it would be fantastic.

Though I’ll say, I think there is a niche for casual games with excellent graphics on Macs now. This niche could be worth a lot of money by the end of the decade, just like casual mobile games.

You really should. Without gates everything of value is stolen and we're left with nothing but grifters.

The point is that an interface should help you to both ignore and understand the underlying implementation. I'm not sure I understand your point about data and transport, since most interfaces (e.g. names) don't touch the network. Are these just synonyms for interface and implementation?
yeah and i have a backup wired mouse for when the magic mouse is too frustrating. I just meant to clarify that design is subjective and Apple has always been on the more pretentious end of that subjective spectrum. People seem to respond (like the sibling comment) as though Apple deliberately wanted users to feel patronized. My whole thing is that Apple's been doing that for years (making decisions for the benefit of the average user at the expense of the power user) and there's really no need to complain about it (at least not like it's a personal attack).

the touch bar is not an optional peripheral so I can understand a bit more resentment there. I do however at least see where they were going with it (fn keys are too far from the home keys to be useful, few people use them anymore, we want to integrate touch without smudging screens and requiring awkward wrist angles). They happened to be wrong about most of that in a more objective way, but people act as though it's a decision made with the sole purpose to annoy people, or perhaps a the elites at Apple have become out of touch.

It's the sort of tech that would work much better as "simple" per-key displays you can configure. I imagine in their minds, it wouldn't be too dissimilar from that in the future with the right haptics and maybe some programmatic tactile feedback (for which the tech just isn't there yet).

> it’s not illegal to “hack” your own car

I'm certain some car company will sue you if they get to know that you did.
> Don't you think at some point ordinary non-criminal people deserve an assurance that this person won't be allowed to hurt them?

No, I don't, because that's a false assurance. Governments, and especially the American and British governments, don't lock away sociopathic murderers, they lock away weed dealers and kids who make mistakes, mostly. Plenty of those mistakes have victims and those victims deserve justice - but locking up someone for 20 years and turning them into a hardened convict in torturous conditions isn't justice.

Last I read, something like 90% of sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. Similar to kidnappings (it's usually one of the parents). It would be incorrect to believe you're safe, or safer, from harm because people are being locked in prisons. If anything, this system creates more harm.

If you're not British or American maybe it doesn't apply to you, but I think people seriously underestimate how life-ruining a chance encounter with the justice system of those countries can be, for things that "everyone" does, or for things that genuinely could happen to anyone. It's a common misconception that these justice systems are keeping people safe from, idk, roving bands of criminal drug pushing rapists or whatever.
It fully makes things up, like nonexistent parameters to real functions. In the areas where it's accurate it's barely better than the existing autocomplete, though I have noticed it seems to deal a bit better with broken code (which also breaks Swift's compiler-based tooling). It can also generate larger things like type definitions a bit better, but Apple never really invested into autocomplete, so it's not really anything better than what other IDEs already had.

> There's a LOT of reasons, some of them interacting.

Not really. It's now super-reductive, with basically two major causes that keep people getting into unsheltered homelessness: drugs and mental health issues.

Any plan to combat homelessness must tackle these two issues. Now try my local homelessness graft agency's website: https://kcrha.org/data-overview/ and look for their approach to mental health and drug abuse.

> Some of the unhoused are anarchists who'd prefer to be untracked so they can commit crimes; I've seen that on the local news way too often.

They are basically a rounding error at this point.
Building in public to speak to your customers pain points as an audience is one thing.

Building in public for entrepreneurs as audience porn to -feel good about feeling good is a lot harder unless its a product for them.

To me, it's doesn't always make sense to uncover unmet demand in public. But, my own bias in that sentence is I'm aware of that enough to perhaps know the difference, and I very well still might done it if I was starting out.

It's good to speak to the problems of your clients - building in that public is what can be helpful.

I like the indiehackers community a lot, but there's no shortage of lurkers who will imitate. The goal is getting ahead and staying ahead and leveraging positioning others may never understand.
Congestion charge and parking availability would have already frozen out most lower owners driving into Central London (zone 1 and 2). What does rent stabilised mean here? Not a phrase I've ever heard regarding council housing in the UK.
That's from Goodstein's "States of Matter" [1]. The next paragraph starts "Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously".

That appears to be sufficient to allow non-fatal studying of statistical mechanics. Goodstein wrote that book 49 years ago and didn't die until a few months ago at the age of 85.

Your location is not random.
I take your point - it does have a saving grace, after all.
it is truly baffling... My personal theory is that society dehumanizes prisoners and felons constantly, especially through media and through cultural means. So I believe that bias plays a LOT into how people perceive blatant injustice against them. This is inherently denying a human being their basic rights to a trial and basic dignity.

Im genuinely repulsed by the general sentiment here (and in general) regarding incarcerated people. It doesn't help that crime based reporting has been flooding social media and news channels at disproportionate rates post 9/11's 24 hour news cycle. Its almost always an obvious attempt to evoke an emotional response too, despite crime steady decreasing over 50+ years by a fairly large margin.
Well said. I find starting the day with hydration helps me understand where I actually am in terms of rest before caffiene.

The advice going around to try and delay coffee for the first 90 minutes after waking seems to make a difference for me too, any unprocessed adenosine can be handled by my brain, and then caffeine is ready.

They didn't switch normal iPads until 2022.

I really don't understand the argument that it was inevitable when they spent more than five years shipping lightning on phones and most iPads and USB-C on laptops. Maybe they would have switched on their own, maybe not. But they were clearly not just moving USB-C through their product line piece by piece, or everything would have had it many years earlier.

Yeah I think Valve ported their whole catalogue of games, but I'm not sure what exactly happened with the discontinuation - I thought they quietly dropped the Mac support tag from all of their games two or three months ago, probably because Intel Macs haven't been sold in a few years now? Presumably they didn't want to sink more money into Mac support (they had 11 years worth of Mac usage statistics to back up their decision).
That's the stupidest shit I ever heard lol
And what they suspect China will do with the data is exactly same as what they'll do.

Best for big countries to focus on internal market which China is already doing.

It's wonderful to witness that when china starts winning the game which west plays, they try to shut it down. European countries want to ban Chinese EV. Americans want to ban china from software and chip business entirely.
This is where I’ve landed after doing it a long time.

If you need to get more granular than an open Kanban and are time bound, it’s just Kanban that refreshes some interval (2 weeks etc…) with a triaged backlog

Realistically the basic winning set up is:

0: Know what you’re building and why
1. Feature/bug funnel
2. Triage to: Next iteration Kanban, prioritized backlog or deleted as unnecessary in forecast window
3. Deliver with unit testing based on Prioritized Time bound Kanban
4. Move Prioritized backlog into next iteration (go too far ahead at your own risk)
5. cut line: return task to step 2

Every step is critical here actually and breaks without each.
If someone has absent or irresponsible parents, or parents who are violent themselves, when will they have a chance to learn anything else if you punish them with life imprisonment the moment they get into a fight past the age of majority? Your pacifist ideals are not bad, but the actual effect of sending people to prison for life from one fight would be horrific and incredibly cruel, not to mention that it would invariably be abused to target the poor and minority groups while the lawyer-on-retainer class get to avoid the consequences. To stop people from victimizing others repeatedly, the common method is to increase sentences for repeat offenders. Maybe that doesn't currently exist in the UK, but it's a much more a humane solution than life imprisonment without a realistic chance of redemption.
