I mean, I think two sets of 12 hours dates back to Ancient Egypt, basically as old as the Pyramids, so quite a bit older than the Bible itself. But note that most of those cultures used equal divisions per day, expanding or shrinking the length of an hour depending on the season, e.g. Egyptian water clocks would have different gauges for each month. So they would hold dawn or dusk constant and expand or shrink the sizes of hours rather than our system of holding hours constant and letting dawn and dusk move around. Constant hours are a much more recent invention, generally speaking for most people (people who worked with the stars excepted) starting up around the time of railways, when it first started to matter what time was for an area larger than the hearing radius of a clock bell tower. (I don't care what time your town has versus my town, so who cares that your 5th hour of the night is more like my 4 hours and 45 minutes of the night? Until we need to run a train all the way through both of our towns and now we need to synchronize!)

Many cyclists bike like raving a*holes, and it is dangerous, both for them and for cars which cannot predict how they will behave. I could imagine cases where the the car might swerve and hit something else besides the cyclist. So yes, bicycles can be dangerous to cars in a roundabout way.
While Linux does have stable syscall interface, unlike other OS-es, you still want to go through glibc. At least for NSS, otherwise your app could be broken.

Golang has CGO_ENABLED=1 as the default for this reason.
Stephen Wolfram talks about computational irreducibility and I think of that as essentially the same as the halting problem. I like his description that science advances by finding problems that we care about that are also computationally reducible. An equivalent with halting is to find those problems that we care about where halting can be proven (or disproven).
You actually don't have to power it down. If you hold the power and volume buttons for 2 seconds and reach the "slide to power off" screen, the phone is already hard locked. You then always have to enter the passcode to unlock it.

I think we're stuck with it no matter what so we better develop better ways to deal with its existence regardless.
“Do not-doing and nothing is left undone.”
I agree that it's a bit early to go all-in, but my counterargument to the "enshittification" meme at the heart of this is that maybe we shouldn't get too hung up on having permanent solutions. Sure, sometimes services get worse over time. But if it's not bad now and doesn't look like it's getting worse, speculating that it might go bad is like being unwilling to go to a new restaurant because sometimes restaurants don't maintain their quality or suddenly go out of business. True, but so what?

Good things sometimes come to an end, but they're still worth doing while they're still good. Twitter had a good run before it went bad. The BlueSky party is just getting started. Sure, many things aren't done yet, but we don't know how it's going to turn out.
The emergency response use-case feels SUPER contrived to me. I am not aware of any SAR teams in our area using HAM radios, and the only group I know of that does is... so old that they'd mostly be asking for help or needing to relay messages to people who (a) are physically fit enough to help but who also (b) don't listen on Ham spectrum.

I think from a technical perspective the emergency use case has faded a lot since the early 90s. Since then, two things have happened that make use of Ham in emergency communications more of an "excuse to use a cool toy" than an actual necessary component of a solution.

First, FRS / Part 95B.

Second, and maybe primarily, satellite communications have come a long way.

And even on the extreme off-chance that transmitting on Ham spectrum or using FRS outside of Part 95B is necessary... well... in an emergency situation... just fuckin' do it?

So Ham exists for fun and for education. But even there, it seems to be losing relevance. I think, at some point, the spectrum reserved for Ham should be bifurcated and a portion of it should allow for (non-commercial) encrypted packet radio. I think doing so would make Ham relevant again and significantly advance the "hobby/education/science/international goodwill" goals.
Scooters are a fine option that gives you some of the advantages of the bike, such as "I can find a parking spot just about anywhere, suckers!", but I'd strongly consider electric for anyone pondering. For a purely local transit modality, the fact that I can charge it at home on 120v and never have to deal with a gas station is fantastic -- and, in fact, a second bonus is that it reduces how often I need to fill up the car. I've never owned an EV, but the e-bike experience has really started to convince me that whenever we get a new car, it will be electric for convenience alone. I hate the "ah crap, low on gas, can I play chicken with future-me or my wife about filling it up?" dance.

The cargo part of the bike is pretty cool, though. I've seen some people do some cool loading hacks with a scooter, but the amount of stuff you can haul on a cargo bike is really fun. When I bought the e-bike, I rode my road bike down to the bike store, and rode the e-bike back home _hauling my road bike_. That was pretty awesome. :)
RSS is a pretty good way around this. Disabling JavaScript is also a good option to cut down on the silliness. If it breaks the site, it was probably not worth reading.

> There should be clear and concise standards media outlets need to adhere to

Yea that's be great but it's never going to happen, and if it did happen you wouldn't like it. It's like people wanting unbiased journalism: that only exists in the minds of the people who think there are only two serious opinions to have on any topic.
Amateur radio rules and spectrum were carved out by the FCC for the purposes of advancing the science of radio, international goodwill, and building one's own skills. By definition, it is deliberately not "useful" (with the exception of emergency communications, as you point out) and that is very much by design. Making it useful would mean it could compete with commercial radio services, which the FCC does not allow.

So we're left with, ham radio exists for science, fun, and the occasional rare emergency when all other communications are down. And that's okay! The hobby is deep and wide. No person can master it all. Every ham is on their own personal journey to dive down the rabbit holes that interest them. I'm personally about knee-deep in research for putting together a portable HF station that can operate a contest for the bulk of a weekend on just solar. I've put hours of reading into it and I still know practically nothing. And I'm loving every minute of it.

If you've only encountered "old white dudes" in ham radio, you haven't gone very far. (I challenge you to find any skilled hobby that isn't represented by some population of old white dudes.) Most clubs accept members from anywhere if they have online meetings or nets, and the more urban and college-town clubs tend to be pretty diverse. There are clubs just for young people, there are clubs just for women. There are online communities which tend to be pretty welcoming and intolerant of rude behavior (hello /r/amateurradio). But the ARRL doesn't promote them, you have to go looking for them yourself.

Bicyclists are more unsafe than my hand rolled memory allocator.
True, but not in this mental exercise where the person is being held hostage. They would still need to liquidate assets and transfer to crypto, and also need connections to this type of seller. In that case, that’d probably already have it.
Apart from the logistical issues with tracking and verifying everyone's identity, I think cutting teenagers off from an (admittedly very manipulated and dysfunctional) source of community is not a straightforwardly good idea. To give some examples, isolated LGBT teenagers probably benefit from being able to find and talk to people like them, and people into all kinds of niche hobbies and interests can be inspired to learn and create by other people into the same thing (cosplayers, digital artists, electronic musicians, etc). Also social media is used for organizing a ton of IRL events as well. (It would be nice if online community was not all centered on Facebook/Twitter/etc, but unfortunately that's the current situation.)
We don't have cell service in areas I mountain bike so I carry a ham/gmrs radio and leave one with my wife. Helpful if I get a flat in the woods and need her to come pick me up.
That’s not the law. Vehicles take turns at an intersection - there’s no total queuing order based on arrival time.

At a contended intersection, it should never be the case that two vehicles coming from the same lane take consecutive turns.
It’s a game of tradeoffs. Yes the situation described does sometimes happen. If you are intentional about how you break apart your repos you can avoid this most of the time. They don’t need to be micro repos, they can just be regular sized and driven by the data model.

Some benefits include:

* Separate repos evolve better than a monorepo. Particularly in early stage companies where pivots are frequent.
* They keep tools just doing one thing well and prevent tying everything in the codebase together.
* Dependencies are more flexible, this is particularly useful with ML libraries.
* A lot of repo tooling is simpler with medium sized single purpose projects
* Stronger sense of ownership boundaries
Computation for the printer was possible, but home computing definitely was not there enough to let someone model something up in fusion 360 like we think of today. That was the realm of srs workstations like the ones SGI made.

I don't think that's a show stopper though. If we had had 3D printers in the 1970's and 1980's,
sold at Sears, between the computers and the tools, you'd bring home a paper catalog from the 3d model company, thumb through it for models you wanted to build, send off a cheque (and a SASE) and they'd mail you back a cartridge that you plug into your printer so you can print that model. And then get that catalog in the mail forever after.

As reference on how much home computing power was available back then, the original Apple I came out in 1976 with a "character generator" and was not capable of advanced graphics - the cost of the amount of ram it would take to draw an entire screen from ram would have been astronomical, so characters were stored in ram and the card was in charge of outputting the characters and rudimentary graphics.
> it's like a time limited contract

Except it is not. You are probably very well aware that maternity leave in Germany protects the mother's job up to three years. There is never certainty about when the mother will come back.

Look, I am not saying that extended maternity leave is not important. What I am saying is one can not put someone else's career growth on the line over this.

> having children is important for the future of our society, and this needs to be protected.

Correct. Yet fertility rates keep going down and women keep delaying their pregnancies and favoring work over kids. Why is that?

Couldn't it be that we have been optimizing for economic output (dual family income becoming mandatory, the school system that is basically tailored to allow parents to work full time, laws that try to keep women working during the childbearing years) instead of optimizing for a system that keeps a nuclear family living well enough on a single income?

To go back to the original discussion: for Christ's sake, we are talking here about the idea of getting rid of weekends. Isn't that further propagating the idea that pushing our society to more work is a good thing? Where does this madness stop?
I suspect the scientists intuition is less reliable because the scientists are acting at the limits of our understanding. Even then it is still a critical component.

For those of us writing glue code to connect services for the 100th time or a manager dealing with our 20th PIP is our intuition likely to be as faulty?

You know, I never thought I'd hear a lack of seriousness used to defend a business like Apple when they work against the interests of their users. This guy goes through the entire essay promoting his thesis of how non-seriousness arises from businesses ignoring humanist elements in their design processe, and then gives Apple a free pass because of course they're inhuman, everyone is! Not even a loop-around to the implications this has on their business.

1080p@60 is “only” around 500MB/s, which should have been possible a decade ago. PCIe 1.0 x16 bandwidth maxed out at 4GB/s, so even if you weren’t on a top of the line system with PCIe 2.0 (or brand new 3.0!) you should have been fine on that front[1].

More than likely the CPU wasn’t able to keep up. The pipeline was likely generating a frame, storing it to memory, copying from memory to the PCIe device memory, displaying the frame, then generating the next frame. It wouldn’t surprise me if a ~2010 era CPU struggled doing so.

[1] Pretty much any GPU’s memory bandwidth is going to be limited by link speed. An 8800GTS 320MB from 2007 had a theoretical memory bandwidth of around 64GB/s, for reference.
It might actually be easier since they have know trajectories and velocities with a easy to calculate schedules.

It's not about blame. It's about recognizing the need for safe infrastructure: physically separated bike paths, not painted gutters. Physics does care about the difference between crossing a painted line vs hitting a bollard.
Ham feels a little like the internet did in the 90s.
I agree, the system is very badly designed. Cars and bikes don't mix without carefully designed roads that make the lazy/default decision and the safe decision the same thing, because eventual complacency is human nature.

> You could say that jumping out of a plane without a parachute isn't dangerous, it's the ground that's dangerous.

In that metaphor cars are a force of nature. I've also heard "the laws of physics trump the law of man", and "what's more important: being right or being alive". People choose to drive; people choose to cycle; and people choose to walk. When I choose to drive, I have the means to kill someone else and I'm damn well responsible for that risk. After all, the person I hit didn't choose for me to drive.

The idea that iPhones magically communicate with each other to “reboot randomly” when off a cellular network (assumably would happen on a plane easily) is pretty far fetched. The far more likely explanation is that iOS 18.0 has some radio/modem bugs that causes devices to randomly reboot, likely correlated with long periods of disuse or lack of network connectivity.

Or heck, if the phone thinks the cellular modem isn’t working (like the phone in a faraday cage), some watchdog might just timeout and reboot.

In any case, the idea that they’re randomly networking and intentionally rebooting to thwart this specific law enforcement attack seems pretty unlikely.

The title has the names of the JS packages used in the creation of the game:

- R3F (react-three-fiber) - wrapper for React to interact with three.js, a 3D library for JS

- drei - useful helpers for react-three-fiber

Right. I once experimented with organizing my running workouts according to the original Tabata protocol, as closely as possible, for about six weeks[1]. I wasn't an elite athlete by any means, but I was a 21 year-old Army cadet in the top quartile of cadets in terms of fitness. I found that it's indeed difficult to strike a legitimate 100% effort, even when it's only for 20 seconds and only 5-10 times. My point is not that people should adopt the protocol as a sustainable, long-term routine; it's just that there's been evidence for a long time that short workouts can have disproportionate benefits in addition to being easier to program into day-to-day life.

[1] The results on my running performance, specifically over two miles, weren't clear, by the way. I wasn't running my best times when I started the experiment, nor at the end of it. But at least I didn't get worse despite averaging only six miles per week. I've done much better on 15-25 miles per week with a wider variety of speed work.

I'm not an emcomm whacker but I think that take is too dismissive. Ham radio was a much more viable for emergency communications before cell phones, Internet, and FRS/GMRS/MURS. But we still get news stories about hams who provide vital communications every time there's a major tornado outbreak or hurricane. E.g. https://www.wired.com/story/hurricane-helene-milton-north-ca...

Perhaps when all cell phones can reliably and routinely communicate with satellites, emcomm on ham radio won't have much purpose. But we're not there just yet.

If the message is encrypted, how can anyone tell whether it is commercial or not?
> I believe the architectural model of ActivityPub is bad. I think the architectural model of atproto is good. Everything is downstream of that.

ActivityPub is a W3C standard which uses standard, “boring”, sometimes “complex” (JSON-LD) technologies.

The fact the AT protocol does things smarter doesn’t mean it should, or will, be used on the WWW. There’s a reason why we still use e-mail and JSON for interoperability, instead of smarter technology.

We should favor standards IMHO, even if they’re imperfect.

Anyway, I’m really curious about your analysis in your future comments!
