I grew up in a house with a separate dining room, kitchen, and living room. I now have an open floor plan, and you'll only be able to take it from me from my cold, dead fingers.

If you want privacy or quiet, there are other options in the house. Living room, dining room and kitchen are all social spaces for me, and the only separation I have between any of them is a very slight inset wall essentially forming a massive arch between the living and dining room.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

Edit: FWIW I'd prefer to not have the arch between the living and dining room, but the dining room was added on by a previous owner so it wasn't exactly an option.
Welcome to the attention economy, where we make people watch ads to doomscroll the latest drivel, hopefully diverting their attention to buying more senseless crap rather than improving their situation or the plight of humanity in general.

Can you imagine the positive impact on the world if just a fraction of that screen time was devoted to just making the people near you smile?
That’s dumb advice and makes me question anything else they’d recommend.

A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what a ship is for. If a router can’t handle IPv6 in 2024, throw it out the window.
Apparently I'm sticking my neck out here, but it really doesn't seem that hard. Overhead, I can intuit the path I would take, and if I imagine it first-person, it seems even more obvious.

It's frustrating riding with certain other American drivers in other countries. I've met numerous folks now that seem upset that they have to actually pay attention to their driving and the traffic. Meanwhile I'm horrified that they're apparently just ... completely on auto-pilot in the US.
same. it happens!
It is intentional. The idea is to force drivers to reduce speed, and the mechanism is because it isn't familiar to the drivers. The claim is it forces them to be thoughtful.

Whether or not it works or is a good idea is not something on which I'm opining.
Is there a common way with Buildroot and A/B partitioning to make it so that if the reboot into the updated partition fails to boot, it will reboot into the old partition?

For example, if the new partition is corrupt, or if there is a software bug that causes one of the following to happen:

- the partition is unbootable, or

- the device is able to begin the boot, even starting to run the new kernel, but somewhere along the way it locks up. Whether that be a kernel panic early on, or later on when systemd has started but one or more important services fail to start, or

- The device finishes the initial boot successfully, including all of the services managed by systemd, but after say a few minutes, some services are exhibiting unstable behavior (like services crashing and starting and crashing and starting), or the kernel panics after everything had been up and running for a while
I use the Apple Vision Pro pretty much every workday for at least one to three hours. Sometimes, when I’m deep in coding or other major projects, I’ve been in it for over five or more hours at a stretch. I use it exclusively with my MacBook Pro or iMac as an immersive display, with the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad paired to the computer. This setup is basically perfect. I frequently have some mellow ambient music in the background, which, in combination with the immersive work environment, helps me concentrate like never before for long stretches without getting distracted.

A major improvement happened with the release of beta version 2 of their operating system, which made the keyboard visible even when the immersive environment is fully turned up. This change allowed me to have the best of both worlds. Obviously, I have it plugged into an outlet through the battery or it would never last for such a long time. I’ve tried going back to the Oculus, but there’s no comparison. I love it!
Keep in mind that a lot of these traffic devices look way more confusing from above than they actually look while on the ground. From above you can see the whole device at once, and trying to trace a path through it can feel overwhelming, but when you're actually going through it your view is usually restricted in ways that limit your perceived choices at any point in time.
Is this a parody question?

I imagine that many of us who got into programming through the 1980s home computer boom encountered the terms "foo" and "bar" before we were old enough that adults would have felt comfortable using "FUBAR" around us.
It would have been awful. Past about 50–60 floors, highrises end up just being impractical. And while Wright was a great artist, to be honest, he was kind of a bust as an engineer and I suspect that the Illinois, had it been started would likely have never been completed thanks to cost overruns and would be a disaster if finished thanks to engineering oversights (I doubt, for example, that he would have properly engineered for wind shear).
that still sounds like technical means
The article explains why they made the decision not to do a traditional dog-bone interchange with two circular roundabouts. Namely, there were right of way limitations and a need to incorporate heavy farm trucks making a left turn. So, they ended up with basically 1.5 roundabouts which represents a simplification over the dog bone.

Well, yeah, I mean, what would you expect? It’s, well, it tends to select for the stupider section of the population. And on top of that, the _older_ section of the population.

More or less a perfect storm, really, scam-wise.

Unfortunately, with the sizes of data these days, this isn’t remotely true, if it even ever was.

Any sources for that? As far as I remember, EM is used to calculate actual cluster parameters (means, covariances etc), but I'm not aware of any usage to estimate what number of clusters works best.

Source: I've implemented EM for GMMs for a college assignment once, but I'm a bit hazy on the details.
Local Variables as Accidental Breadcrumbs for Faster Debugging
What can be understood is a separate question from what it's possible to say. Here's a common type of utterance from a foreign student of English:

*Where you heard this?

There's no risk of being misunderstood, but that doesn't mean it's possible to phrase a question in English this way.

What would you understand if someone asked you for "the scissor"?
Arguably cars have so many externalities they will bankrupt the earth of cheap energy sources. Walking is at least hundreds of millions of years old, and will endure after the last car stops.

Likewise (silicon based) AGI may be so costly that it exists only for a few years before it's unsustainable no matter the demand for it. Much like Bitcoin, at least in its original incarnation.
It's supposed to mean nothing; that's the point. You use "foo" and "bar" (and "baz" and "qux", etc) when the names of the things in your example do not matter. It's the same way you'd see examples featuring "x", "y", and "z" when learning algebra: maybe your textbook also has story problems, but most of the examples will simply show an equation in terms of x, y, and maybe z, without pretending that those abstractions refer to anything concrete.

I feel like the solution to wordpress-the-org being mismanaged is not to build better replacement infra around wordpress, but to build better publishing tools that don’t burn a mysql connection and require php get executed on every pageview.
I'd say just the opposite. Indeed, in the UK it's normal for the signs leading up to a roundabout to include an overhead map view, since that's often the easiest way to understand what you need to do to get where you want to.

Nah, it was the right call. Advertising it at nearly 2x the weight so X% of people find it more comfortable is a bad trade off.

I use mine all the time and don’t notice the weight. Perhaps because I use various types of helmets frequently. It is far far far less noticeable than a motorcycle helmet, and far less noticeable than a good full face bike helmet.

I'll sometimes gauge code complexity by comparing the number of lines of code against the output of

tar -cf - . | gzip | base64 | wc -l

IE "how much does it compress?"

Looking at APL -- I'm reminded of what happens if I accidentally send the gzipped output to my tty...

I'm impressed that there's anyone who can follow along (can you find the bug?) to code like

p←{(↑⍵)∘{(⍺∨.=⍵)/⍳n×n∘}¨,⍵},(n*÷2){⍵,⍺⊥⌊⍵÷⍺}'⍳n n←⍴⍵

It really feels like compressed binary data where everyone's got a copy of the dictionary already...
It's worth mentioning none of these concerns affected Android / Google Play, even though it's fairly easy to sideload and even install custom app stores there.

The only phones that come with alternative stores are from Chinese manufacturers, which isn't going to be an issue for Apple as the operating system isn't open source.
I mean, even if it were true that both sides lie exactly as much as each other (and, well, why should it be? That’d be rather surprising), certainly one side has the more _obvious_ lies, and will thus appeal to more gullible people. Anyone who thinks that cat on toast is a thing is an extremely ripe target for scammers.
This is normal in many areas of the world.

Okay I'll bite - how does Google manipulate elections? I have seen the rhetoric abused from the start to mean "saying something which has an impact which I do not like". Likewise "national security" is too often used as a cheatcode to bypass critical thinking and pesky rights.
Why would you need an app to homeschool your kids?
> It would mean that even when the vendor decides to disconnect the cloud server, the app still knows how to find the lights over the local WIFI and turn them on-and-off. This is one of the poster-child use cases for "local first".

I agree with this, but my point is “what should the app do when you’re offline” - as in, your phone is on aeroplane mode. “Local” as in, local to your device. Not your wifi.

What does it mean to turn the lights on and off in that situation?

In my opinion, nothing, it shouldn’t work. And if that’s true, the light is essentially a server, the app / phone is a client. Nothing has changed except making the routing more efficient.
Indeed. Some people are unlikely to stop unless they're in prison.

Your characterization is inaccurate, of both the reporting and the technology
Well no, not in a non-array programming language. In any language that has a semi-decent type/object system and some kind of functional programming support, `avg a+b` would just be `avg(a, b)`, which is not any easier or harder, with an array type defined somewhere. Once you make your basic array operations (Which they have to be made in q anyways, just in the stdlib), you can compose them just like you would in q, and get the same results. All of the bounds checking and for-loops is unnecessary, all you really need are a few HKTs that do fancy maps and reduces, which the most popular languages already have.

A very real example of this is Julia. Julia is not really an array-oriented programming language, it's a general language with a strong type system and decent functional programming facilities, with some syntactic sugar that makes it look like it's a bit array oriented. You could write any Q/k program in Julia with the same complexity and it would not be any more complex. For a decently complex program Julia will be faster, and in every case it will be easier to modify and read and not any harder to write.

To note, counter weight helps alleviate single pressure points when stationary or slowly moving.

It will make it significantly worse for people moving their head a lot or walking around.

That's the same issue as the Airpod Max, which are extremely well balanced but just so damn heavy, so I guess people just build neck muscles ?
WordPress has literally millions of Web sites in production, tons of add-on software, and an ecosystem of companies and people providing solutions for it. Suggesting that the solution is "well, just start from scratch with something else" is unlikely to get you very far.

It is far easier and more likely that the community around WordPress would rally around replacing WP.org than starting over from scratch with a new toolkit. Some people might flee WP altogether, but the majority of people and companies just want to get things done - not seeing them having a lot of tolerance for or interest in having to start again from square one.
The world needs Matt and Automattic. It doesn't need WPE. The WordPress community should be more worried about what'll happen to them when no one is developing WordPress anymore, than what'll happen if Matt goes to war with everyone else too. He's so self-sacrificing that he didn't fight back against WPE until WPE alone was threating his survival. Apple would have never let someone in their App Store in the first place who directly competes with them, and Matt looked the other way for ten years. Matt is obviously guileless considering how he behaves. That would make me not very afraid of him if I were a business in this space. The fact is though that Matt is one of the people who gives to the community more than he's taking, and WPE is the opposite. You won't have a community anymore if the takers demoralize and alienate all the helpers. What's happening now is completely WPE's fault. As the most profitable entity in the WordPress space, they have a duty to help lead the community and fund its development. Asking for 8% isn't unreasonable.
No, you're definitely not the only one who likes them. Some folks complain about them when they first go in, but they tend to figure it out.

WSDOT has been encouraging them for a few years now, and my town has several new roundabouts as a result -- and lots of other cities across the state are using them. They've made navigating those intersections way easier, reduced traffic "waiting times", and generally improved safety versus a lighted intersection. I'm glad they're continuing to find ways to make them work.

It seemed when I was growing up in NJ, the state DOT was taking out the giant roundabouts that they were famous for, and now in Washington, they're having a huge resurgence.
US here. There seems to be an obsession at the moment with adding roundabouts in my area. They don’t always fit where they are put. Some of them have a stop sign in the roundabout?

When asked why, the answer is reducing “points of conflict”, which is a static variable. There aren’t actually studies being done before or after to see if makes the flow of traffic better.

They are also adding them in walkable areas with the express intent of “traffic never stopping” which doesn’t go well with pedestrians crossing the street.

I think we can find better ways to spend money… including the salaries of the people dreaming up bizarre applications for these things.

Still what’s really lacking is some kind of critical mass that can’t be ignored. Many many services even in real life are locked behind an iOS/play store wall (even sometimes with no alternative outside needing a smartphone).

At least for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen10 I know that they use a hybrid FFP/micro coax design. FFP to fit behind the display panel as the cable runs up to the sensor assembly and micro coax for fitting through the hinge.
I don't think you'll see a lot of purely coax based designs, given the trend to thin displays with small bezels.
Other laptops like the Dell XPS 13 Plus run straight FFP from the mainboard all the way to the sensor.
Cloudflare does allow R2 (& some other "Developer Platform" services) for non-HTML content. They made some TOS changes in the past to be more explicit about it.
If I were to tell you a PC has a floppy drive, optical drive, Sound Blaster card, serial, parallel and PS/2 ports running DOS, you would think I’m referring to a machine from the 1990s. But my very modern PC built in 2024 possess these characteristics!

I recently built myself a PC as my previous desktop components was insufficient for my current needs. I decided to build one with the ability to still reach back into the past to run DOS.

In this post, I will go through my thought process I went through to decide on the specifications as well as the journey I made to run MS-DOS 6.22 on it.

> if your email provider attempts to scan urls to see where they actually go you end up giving them an auth token

One way you can handle this is to place the token in the hash portion of the url (which doesn't get sent to servers during an HTTP request), and then have JS on the frontend send the token to your backend manually. As long as the email provider isn't scanning links via a headless browser that executes JS, this should work.

I agree with your point about email abuse though (although you still have to prevent bots from abusing email based password resets).
No. The thing has like 2.5 hours of battery life. You'd have to plan your day around it or get battery extenders.
I'll take a traditional cross with traffic signals or stop signs on all sides, it's simple and effective.

Roundabouts are a waste of space, disrupt traffic, and take more brain processing than I care to afford if I can help it. This particular example isn't even round.
What you’re describing is just a variant of Malthusianism [https://www.intelligenteconomist.com/malthusian-theory/], which may not be wrong - but has not proven right either (in modern times) with advances in technology.

Especially improvements in energy generation, fertilizer production, and efficient usage of both (often through information technology).

Given any stable state of technology/energy/space, a society will generally reach a high point, then go through cycles of growth/retraction.

But improvements in technology and energy generation means it won’t be at a stable state, eh?
I understand your perspective, and have felt similarly at times. OTOH I appreciate having some culture and some fun things in our field and teaching materials that would otherwise be pushed out by being 100% reasonable and logical all the time.
I don't know what you mean by the q array operations being defined in the standard library. Yes there are things defined in .q, but they're normally thin wrappers over k which has array operations built in.
As was I. Now off to read about these interesting people.
Australian who lived in Washington state for 4.5 years. Very happy to see those kind of changes. Much better and safer than 4-way stop intersections and I hope American drivers will figure out eventually how to use them
