The nobles that walk around with their kids might be animated with pervert narcissism and enjoying poor people looking at them with envy, but they are certainly not their to suggest plebeians should strive at obtaining the same kind of wealth they want everyone to think they enjoy.

Also nobles more often than not have their own existential threats and fears. It’s not like going up the social ladder is a certain path to more serenity and happiness.
The ratio of the neuron numbers may be somewhat meaningful when comparing vertebrates with vertebrates and arthropods with arthropods, but it is almost completely meaningless when comparing vertebrates with arthropods.

The reason is that the structure of the nervous systems of arthropods is quite different from that of the vertebrates. Comparing them is like comparing analog circuits and digital circuits that implement the same function, e.g. a number multiplier. The analog circuit may have a dozen transistors and the digital circuit may have hundreds of transistors, but they do the same thing (with different performance characteristics).

The analogy with comparing analog and digital circuits is quite appropriate, because parts of the nervous systems that have the same function, e.g. controlling a leg muscle, may have hundreds or thousands of neurons in a vertebrate, which function in an all-or-nothing manner, while in an arthropod the equivalent part may have only a few neurons that function in a much more complex manner in order to achieve fine control of the leg movement.

So typically one arthropod neuron is equivalent with much more vertebrate neurons, e.g. hundreds or even thousands.

This does not mean that the nervous system of arthropods is better than that of vertebrates. They are optimized for different criteria. Neither a vertebrate can become as small as the smallest arthropods, nor an arthropod can become as big as the bigger vertebrates, the systems that integrate the organs of a body into a single living organism, i.e. the nervous system and the circulatory and respiratory systems, are optimized for a small size in arthropods and for a big size in vertebrates.
But a very large percentage of the "high stress/pressure" of being a police officer in the US is literally manufactured by the police themselves.

For instance, several officers have been treated for severe symptoms after coming into contact with fentanyl. Except that there is no way, biochemically speaking, the kind of contact they had with fentanyl could have produced anything resembling those symptoms. It was an entirely psychosomatic reaction, brought on by the police's own utterly false propaganda about how terrifyingly dangerous fentanyl is.

Similarly, so much of their "high stress" is because they expect to be attacked/shot/killed at any given moment even when, by any reasonable analysis, they are 100% safe. Furthermore, a lot of the actual danger to them is manufactured by this exact phenomenon: they expect a physical confrontation, so, in order to ensure they "win" it, they create it, striking preemptively in one fashion or another.
What is the difference between this and libcamera? From the page:

There are already other libraries for camera support on Linux. You can use the V4L2 APIs directly, or use libcamera, or libmegapixels.

They all strike various middle points on the power vs user-friendliness scale. Having worked with all of them while developing camera support for the Librem 5, I never got the impression that any of them are particularly easy to use.

Libobscura is an experiment because it tries to find an API that fulfills the needs of most people and remains hard to use wrong.

I think this is a tough call in general. Current morality would be considered "ridiculously unacceptable" by 1800s standards, but I see it as a good thing that we've moved away from 1800s morality. I'm glad people were willing to challenge the 1800s status quo. At the same time, my sense is that the environmentalists who are ruining art in museums are probably challenging the status quo in a way that's unproductive.

To some degree, I suspect the rationalist / EA crowd has decided that weird contrarians tend to be the people who have the greatest impact in the long run, so it's OK to filter for those people.

These days it should be considered immoral to write software that uses inefficient languages/runtimes/abstractions, we simply cannot afford to waste energy doing useless computations anymore.
Well that would just make it too simple and not blog-worthy.
This isn't about "making a mistake on the captcha", this is about charging them one pence for every attempt and just not having a captcha.

It's an entirely different sort of system, and it would require a cordoned off section of the Internet to implement it top-down, but it's technically viable.

The defining insight here is how many orders of magnitude difference there is between the "That price is negligible" threshold for a human being, and the "That price is negligible" threshold for an automated system. Sure there are adoption issues, but for all applications where there are several orders of magnitude difference, such a system makes some degree of sense.

You might also want to look into ISAPI extensions[1,2] in Microsoft’s IIS, those are also just DLLs that the web server loads into itself, and were once advertised as the most performant way to serve dynamic stuff from it. It doesn’t look like there’s a way to request that extensions be reloaded, though: the server either unloads them at its discretion (once no in-flight requests are using them?) or not at all (if “extension caching” is enabled). But there’s an advert[3] from somebody who shimmed that capability onto it back in 2006.

(You wouldn’t have had a good day debugging these things, mind you. But it’s something that people experimented with back in the day, alongside Web servers programmable in Java[4] or Tcl[5].)

I think you'll find most normal people find PHEVs extremely attractive propositions that are a perfect compromise between ICE and EVs.

"30 minutes" is pretty misleading, because it's not like the batteries are discharging at a constant rate.

It might be thirty minutes on the highway, as new PHEV cars have ranges in the 30-40 miles range. But if you're driving in the city, 30 miles is enough to get you basically anywhere you want to go and back, even if traffic makes it a 2 hour trip.

Wow! It's crazy. Just think about - no Russian invasion equals no refugees. Isn't it mind-blowing? Russia is sadly a warmonger nation, apparently even more so than imperialist USA. Something that won't ever be forgotten now.
The entire sports category is hard to beat. I think its tendency to provoke an attempt at depicting somewhat-realistic humans in action gives it an edge on some of the others, in terms of producing multidimensionally-baffling pieces.
But the computation steps are certainly countable, even if there are infinite. The amount of steps in time we can take is uncountable. We can always find a point between two other times.Time dilation does exactly this, making the time a computational step take smaller and smaller.
It brings me 20 years back. I liked the nostalgia :).
In cases like this the provider is someone I don't want to have any business with in the first place. I don't care how hard reliable CAPTCHAs are to implement and as a user I shouldn't have to.
There is definitely a discussion like this under every repo at this point but I genuinely do not understand why people feel the need to have AI art for their GitHub projects. It’s subjective but it just looks tacky and cheap, as is nearly always case with AI art. Some online, non-AI logo generator that slaps a generic royalty free icon with a font would be miles better, or honestly even dropping it altogether and just having a header.

Doesn't the police in the US frequently end up with hardware the military used to use? I've seen bunch of pictures/videos of police using Humvees and similar stuff, which I thought was originally made for military use, not domestic policing.

It also seems like in 2015 there was limits added that made it so "the military was restricted from transferring some weapons, such as grenade launchers, weaponized vehicles, and bayonets to police". Why was that restriction needed if the police isn't becoming more and more like the military?
The name “best practices” kind of implies that they actually are practiced somewhere. So it’s different from theoretical abstract ideas “how we should write software”, which maybe nobody follows.
Two things:

- I don't believe there is a general solution to this problem, but that won't stop people with lots of money and influence from trying to find a general solution. Especially one that is cheap. I still hope for the least user- and ecosystem-hostile approach among the flawed approaches to win. (I guess of the ones I listed, the one that bothers me the least is having more policing of the service providers.)

- CAPTCHAs from static content are almost assuredly for anti-scraping measures. I think anti-scraping measures are mostly pointless and antithetical to an open web in the first place, but, an effective anti-scraping measure kind of has to work off of reputation, because getting access to a very large number of IP addresses isn't free, but it doesn't cost that much (especially if IPv6 is on the table.) I personally doubt it has much to do with server load in most cases, but maybe I am wrong.
The solution that Windows provides for the problem -- WinSxS -- is, ultimately, no less bloated.

I own one and would prefer if my next car purchase was another one. Unfortunately, while the model I've picked for my next car has a PHEV option, they don't make very many, and don't take orders, so if you really want it, you probably need to put your name down at all the dealerships, and the wait for regular hybrid is already long and the vehicle to be replaced was sold in summer. PHEV would be nicer, and we've made due longer than I thought we would, but when our regular hybrid comes in, that will be good enough.

PHEVs are lovely to drive, and availability of gas stations means almost no planning is needed. Fuel low, stop in for 5 minutes and good to go for hundreds of miles (current one does 500-600/tank depending on conditions)

Are you willing to understand the argument? What does militarization mean? Because I’ve seen no evidence of police responding to a crime scene with an Apache helicopter or a howitzer. It’s remarkable that completely obviously false claims of militarization are accepted here.

As for your link: the claim made by the “study” is false since it is ignoring virtually every obvious confounding factor to claim that the number of police officers doesn’t affect crime rates. Per capita police count is a measure of how effectively a city can respond to crime. If they can’t respond that means there aren’t consequences. When there aren’t consequences you end up with the disaster of public safety you see in west coast cities like SF, Portland, and Seattle.
The problem is that this very problem also happens simultaneously in the reverse direction. i.e. people have to deal with so many awful entities screwing them over due to sheer self-interest, negligence, or even malice, that they have a hard time knowing which ones legitimately are trying their best and genuinely don't have a better solution.

That's what happens when trust erodes, and why we can't have nice things.

If anyone should be be more understanding and absorb the costs to appease the other, it's probably the big corp, not the little guy.

This sounds similar to how gnupg works where you send out your public key and maybe assign an expiration date. Many tech people cannot even handle this, can you imagine "grandma" ?
It’s not though. Especially since GraphQL makes no mention of databases. It’s a resource agnostic protocol.

This isn’t a technical issue with GraphQL. It’s a culture issue among developers who shoehorn GraphQL and don’t use it appropriately

As someone who works on very database intense application GraphQL saves me more work than its ever caused.
It's neat, but it would require segregated roadways to be safe, and we're not going to get that.

I'd love to live in that world though. Smaller, lighter, lower-speed vehicles. Bicycles. Walkable neighborhoods. It'd be great.

But we can't have those nice things, because most Americans have atrocious taste -- and the ones who do have good taste, you can't afford to live next to.
Perhaps controversial but I think the ability to ship continuously is also a factor. You just have to pass and fix the things with the most complaints after. A holistic view on the general user experience will never make it to the top of a pile now.
Definitely having built-in symbols for it would be nice. Regarding a titleblock, I found that custom data attributes on symbols and page backgrounds can accomplish as much as I would even need.

Create a page in your document called "Titleblock", format it and place dummy content if desired. For each "sheet", just select it from Page Background (you can set an image, URL, or another page in the diagram). For filling out information which varies, just have one titleblock symbol and add Placeholders for the custom data attributes which you add to it as well. (See: https://www.drawio.com/blog/placeholders) This is a common workflow in CAD as well just with different terms; i.e. a linked titleblock layout used for all sheets and a block inserted into the actual drawing with the attributes filled out.
Perhaps it's enough to POSSE (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere)? Post your content on your own site, but link back to them on all your favourite social media sites.

The "military model" goes so much further than that. They are "officers" and have military ranks as their position/title. They wear military-styled uniforms and headwear. They engage in military-style ceremonies.

How fortunate that they're willing to collect statistics on their own performance for you.
In the case of FPGAs it doesn't really matter that the proprietary tools are buggy. What matters is the features and utility they have. Open-source FPGA design is still extremely, extremely far behind the proprietary alternatives in many dimensions (power support, integration tools, many aspects of simulation and test, general tools like floorplanners, and so on.) That isn't because people aren't trying either. It's just really hard and has limited talent pool.

I've spent a lot of time at this point with both toolkits. I use the open source tooling extensively for my own designs. But you tell some grizzled RTL person there's no power analyzer or native SDC support or that UTM was only recently supported in some simulator, and they're going to laugh at you. They've been doing that stuff for 20 years. I know this because I've done it several times (though other people find particular things, like free RTL verification tools, much appreciated.)

I think FOSS/software people paint some very rose-tinted picture in their mind where the mere availability of something for $0 would make it an obvious choice, even at only 10% of the functionality. But that's not how people see it in reality. Many people, including engineers, think of it the other way: if it's so good, why is it $0 and how do I know it will keep being developed? They've made their peace with the fact that the $5000 tool will exist practically for as long as they need, get the job done, and be supported.
> Among this group, those leaving between 6:00 a.m. and 6:29 a.m. reported the longest average travel time to work at 32.8 minutes.

So, if "30 minutes" was actually how you measured range (and not in miles), the average worker in the longest group would burn fuel for 3 minutes, instead of 33 minutes. This is 90% less fuel than a traditional hybrid car would use in the same time.
I really think these rants (and italics) are totally unnecessary. Most people see beautiful software every day of the week, and value it.

Having said that, no one owes anyone anything. If Emacs wants to be a power tool, let it. I don't expect a construction crane to be safe and easy for me to operate.
Ideally sending cops anywhere shouldn't be treated as a murder attempt, no matter the persons intent. They should be trained to recognize if there is true threat or not.

If our legal system started recognizing that sending the police somewhere is equivalent to calling an assassin then we've got larger issues to address.

Thanks!

1) When I started this, I thought could this be an HTMX-PHP framework. If you see the examples directory, I added a few HTMX examples early days. Maybe I can niche down on this...

2) If I'm honest, I don't know yet. I first started building the router, then I was told through some feedback that there's been a lot of research (rightly so) into this area and I would be better off implementing the FastRouter that's in Slim, so I switched to that...

As mentioned above, if I could make this framework fit with HTMX more, I could have a PHP framework that talks HTMX with less of the wiring up. I still need to figure this out.

3) I've avoided building an official site/docs for it, but I might have to. I had hoped the examples were a good source, but as more features were added, creating official docs site might have to be my next task.

PHP isn't yet part of my default stack, but I am trying to thanks to what I've been learning building Dumbo.

Typically this would require something to be gained from engaging in nuclear war. If you bring out the nukes then you are pretty much asking to be utterly destroyed. Sure you may get some of your enemies in the meantime, but you won't survive to see them dead. Using nukes in Ukraine is just a quick way to turn every other country in the world against you.

I think it is far more likely that Russia is waiting for a change of leadership in America that is friendly to their cause. In the meantime they are digging fortifications and stocking up for a future offensive to retake Kursk and expand their holdings in Ukraine when they lose access to American munitions.
