I find the word subsidy to be a possible weasel word here. I don't know all the details but a railway system has certain costs (fuel, personnel, water, upkeep, the trains themselves and so on) and takes in a certain amount of revenue (fares and subsidies, also food etc). It might be true that the government increased the subsidy in order to support the cheaper tickets. But that's not the same as "requires". Perhaps I'm splitting hairs but there's a strong danger of comparing apples and oranges if these things aren't spelled out imo.
That makes sense and seems reasonable
I'm not sure the selling point is similarity with markdown, but rather, to improve, or modernize LaTeX/TeX-the-language/s: TeX is really archaic: if you're curious, there's a series of articles by overleaf[0] detailing some of TeX's inner-working, quite insightful.

I remember reading — but can't find a source at the moment — that TeX originally didn't had counters; people came to rely on Church numerals[1] instead, before Knuth finally implemented them.

Assistant:
Bonjour (ahn-JOO-reh), it was great meeting you! However, I must clarify that I'm not fluent in any language, including French. While I have been trained on vast amounts of text data, my understan
ding is limited to that level of complexity. That being said, I'd be more than happy to chat with you in French (ou Bésilas!) - zut! Do you want to converse en français ?

You: So if you speak no language, does that include english then?

Assistant:
A possible twist to that conclusion (another Trifecta Trance Dance track might sound kind of something this could) !

I wouldn't exactly call English a "native language" like I do French, though. As I mentioned, my "sarcasm serum" could sort of pull up sentences asides (" Ce citoyen dubtest musique allemnet queer

Another significant issue is that the USA wasn’t built for rail, and to do so now requires sign off by land owners, municipalities, and so on. The amount NIMBY-oriented policies in California, for example, is a serious impediment. Oddly, people cite rural areas as an issue, but rural areas aren’t typically an issue. It would be comparably inexpensive to run high speed rail over undeveloped land, while tearing up buildings, roads, water, sewer, and power would be tremendously costly. For much of Europe, rail transport was put in place long before automobiles became commonplace. For much of the USA, the cities didn’t even exist at that time, and they were mostly built around automobiles.
Long-distance trains are worse statistically because they travel longer Router and therefore have more opportubities to gain delay. Across all trains, puncuality is like 95%.
> I doubt I’d ever need a car in Germany given the rail system was much more convenient

Sure, if you live in a larger city and you never leave… I lived in Munich for years and never needed a car, just comfortable shoes, a bike and occasionally a transport ticket.

Try to get to a smaller town or village, you are lucky if you only spend twice as much time getting there as with a car.

The trains get randomly cancelled, delay is basically guaranteed, the workers go on strikes relatively frequently, so you can never rely on trains working for anything remotely important.

Built my resume with typst and know of several other folks using it for serious document typesetting. It is a very nice and modern typesetting system and language that just feels easy to make it do what I want.

It incorporates elements like templates and it is very easy to create reusable content “functions”. It is everything I want out of LaTeX while being super fast and easy to use.

Edit: pandoc can generate typst output if you want to explore :)

The mechanism for selecting between metal ions with different charges (or valencies - monovalent is 1+, divalent is 2+) is interesting. The article mentions the analogy to biological systems, and I remember talking to a Professor (sadly now died) some years ago about a similar system in a protein ion channel.

The protein channel has a pore lined with backbone carbonyls (C=O) that are positioned such that they can bind to an ion with its first water shell. If I remember correctly, ions of a different charge (divalent?) have a shell that is too large to be bound properly so passes through the pore less efficiently.

Similar to the hydrogen-bonding of these polydopamine membranes:

> Therefore, it is likely that hydrated multivalent ions were more favored to form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bonding sites along the membrane channels, compared to monovalent metal ions. Such PDA–ion interaction explains the ion selectivity of PDA membranes toward monovalent ions, consistent with simulations that suggest that divalent ions engaged in hydrogen bonding interactions are required to overcome higher energy barriers for their transport across the membrane

> No one dares address the systemic issue of for profit corporations exploitatively (ab)using open source software.

Calling out Matt and Automattic for their abusive behavior is addressing the systemic issue of for-profit corporations exploitatively abusing open source software.

We're talking about a company that released GPL software, waited a decade for another company to build their entire business around said GPL software, and then came at them with threats of going to "nuclear war" (their words) with them if they didn't agree to extremely exploitative terms on top of the GPL licensing under which the software was released.

That is the affront to Free Software that's happening here. WP Engine may or may not be a good company, but it is Matt who has given up on freedom. If you lure people in with a promise of Free Software and then hold a gun to their head when they take you up on it, you are the bad guy.

According to https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2021/02/16/reminder-forke... this is piracy.

Let's look at newer documentation:

https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detail...

> The use of trademarks or other projects as the sole or initial term of a plugin slug is prohibited unless proof of legal ownership/representation can be confirmed

The plugin is at https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields and advanced custom fields filed for trademark last December https://trademarks.justia.com/983/21/advanced-custom-9832116...

Also

https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin...

> We also don’t accept 100% copies of other people’s work

There's a clause which looks applicable https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin...

> What happens to a plugin if the plugin owner gets blocked?

however the page says "Last Updated: 12 October 2024" and https://github.com/WordPress/developer-plugins-handbook/blob... (permalink at the time of writing this) doesn't have this section. So it really looks someone manually edited the page on wordpress.org without editing the source. Now, who has such permissions and has the motive to do this?

Yep, federal income tax is a big reason. For states to fund this on their own requires additional taxation. Some places like FL don’t even have a state income tax, so they are stuck trying to get tourists to fund transportation projects somehow or increasing sales taxes or higher tolls. And of course higher tolls have the unfortunate side effect of reducing demand for the thing to begin with.

Anecdotal but whenever I’ve been asked for this guidance (having been around the block, but not a shaman by any means) I ask about the person’s dreams. Do they usually remember them, how intense are they? More intense = start with lower dose (maybe .5g). Less so maybe start with 1 or 1.5g. Of course this is subjective and relative but a rule of thumb that has worked reasonably well.

For frequency, that depends on a variety of factors I suppose.

I suspect the key is to find ways to run railways cheaper. It has been a long time since railways were under severe cost competition encouraging people to look for efficiencies.

I think the main one would be to find a way for railways to operate with no staff. Just like a typical road operates most of the time with no staff.

That means you need to redesign everything that currently uses people to not need people. Sure - there would still be occasional maintenance - but nobody always on duty driving trains (automated), nobody selling tickets (online), nobody cleaning stuff (automated cleaning of trains inside and out) etc.
Still, I hope Apple resurrects their server line… hardware and software. It’d be nice to have a server oriented UNIX running on Apple Silicon without resorting to Linux.
AMD's MI325 is slower (maybe 2x slower) than Nvidia B100. Sure it's cheaper and maybe consumes less power but you need more racks, more networking, and more labor to get the same performance.
One thing I realized. This appears to be a change in their privacy policy for _US_ PayPal. If you are not in USA (ie, Canada), then it likely won’t be there as it’s not rolling out to you.

For me: I opened the app, navigated to Profile > “Data and privacy” > “Personalized shopping” (under “Manage shared info” header) > toggle off “Let us share products, offers, and rewards you might like with participating stores”

Haven’t checked on paypal.com
GPLv3 code can’t go into a GPLv2 project - but “GPLv2 or later” licensed code can go into a GPLv3 project.

The main reason is that Matt wouldn’t be able to freeload without relicensing WordPress - which would be a massive headache for him and his partners to go through; and the reason would be patently and embarrassingly obvious.

The goal I described earlier is not to make a WordPress clone that just happens to be free of Matt. There’s plenty of low hanging, long ignored gripes and opportunities for improvement. Offer a better, Matt-free product, and you’ll win.
This sounds rather dry and abstract. What I would rather like to know is: If I installed Sequoia on my x86_64 Mac, what would I lose in comparison to Ventura? I assume newer OSs increasingly drop x64 support.

Thanks @brudgers!! Appreciate that! Yes, we were inspired by the ease of tools like Notion (first version), and the fact that most companies literally run on spreadsheets. There are a couple mail merge tools out there - many focused on Sales/Drip comms. We have been focused on a more horizontal approach, and building for the more everyday multi-recipient comms. Would love any feedback!
> The DB app? Definitely was not an option for the people who did that.

Yeah, it's in the app.

> Paying before just isn't always practical, but I understand that such limitations are often a non-issue for locals.

That's how it works. Typical here for local trains: there are no barriers in train and bus stations. One can just enter the train and bus without any ticket check. But you have to make sure that you have a ticket. The local trains have no installation to buy a ticket anymore. Typically one would buy them online or have a subscription ticket. How does the system make sure that people pay and don't game the system? There are random checks.

If you want a ticket, buy it before entering a train. Train stations have either ticket systems or a ticket office. But most people by now do it online either per website or app.

For long-distance trains I would always book in advance (it's often also cheaper) and book a seat, too.
Thank you @krthr! Appreciate you!
You should do an Internet search for it. I haven't done the engineering on the numbers but it's already happening
that is true, but tons of highly frequent on-time commuter trains doesn't help anyone who wants to travel long distances.

I couldn't disagree more. You can say a lot of bad things about Deutsche Bahn, but of all the travel apps I have used, DB Navigator and bahn.de were the best.

SNCF Connect, on the other hand, not only had a terrible UX, but also crashed randomly, forcing me to use third-party apps to buy SNCF tickets.

Yes I do drive older cars. My kids keep saying I should get a new car but I laugh and say for what benefit would I do that? I drive a 2004 Camry 4 cylinder. It has some bumps and scratches but gets me from point to point. Just like I don’t get the newest phones, still rocking my iPhone 8 after years of another iPhone I used for many years, I also don’t feel the need for a new car without reason. But I would like an EV as I do need to eventually help my son get a car I would like to pass him this one and upgrade to something electric. My city even offers free charging in a couple spots for local residents and I am living right by one so I could charge for free some days too. But with huge price tags it still would not make economical sense.

Are you saying people who learned C as their first programming language are better programmers or worse?
That was then. Now it's about MI325 vs. B100.
I don't think that's correct. They prompt for "Privacy mode" (https://www.cursor.com/privacy) during installation even at the free tier (although that may be tied to the Pro two-week trial -- unclear).

You probably got the wrong impression from their pricing plan page (https://www.cursor.com/pricing), which only mentions "Enforce privacy mode org-wide" for their $40/user/month Business tier. The point there is that the Business tier enables employees to be forced to use privacy mode at the organizational level. It doesn't mean that you must purchase the Business tier to enable privacy mode yourself.
If that was the goal then the CPU would fuse on first boot for any manufacturer’s board, rather than being fused only by Dell boards.
Also even if you're worried about going cross-country, that requires what, two fast lines between the coasts to get good routes? So even though those areas don't have many people per square mile, passing through would need an extremely small amount of track per square mile.
