Crazy we need studies for this

do people abandon carts there?

you just explained it, they're not coin operated.

most of her examples are incredibly patronizing and prying. these are tactless overbearing comments, and they can -if ever - only come from a place where there's already a mutual admiration or respectful bond.

> CSCI 2100: Unlearning Object-Oriented Programming

If anything, we need the opposite of this class. Learn OO well and create tight apps with a small runtime footprint, well isolated code boundaries, and clean interfaces.

this shouldn't exist at all. if people don't know that junk food is unhealthy, no amount of adding signage is going to correct that.

you're not applying for .net analyst at midwest regional bank corp.

i am totally an advocate of the 15 minute city, but the strike thing is a genuine problem, it's total blackmail. yes, they are asking for better working conditions, but then you look into the details and it's because early retirement age has been raised from 56 to 58 and days off have been reduced from 28 to 26. that sort of thing cannot be indulged. i'm getting to an age where i know seniors in my european side of the family that have been retired longer than they have worked, but insist they deserve their yearly vacation. that social contract meme is real.

Oki thx, it's starting to click :)

Can somebody eli5, im an amateur. How does the transform know the frequencies of the output. Do you have to specify a number n, and then it decomposes it into n frequencies. Or do you give it a list of frequencies, and then it decomposes the coefficient or amplitude or something for each?

I guess what i want to know, in the examples it always shows like 3 or 4 constituents frequencies as output, but why not hundreds or a million? Is that decided upfront /paramtetizable?

The article isn't helpful, it just says something like "all possible frequencies".

this exists on very large scale for students in belgium, but not allowed for working adults.

All it took is hundreds of elk calves scurrying away in mortal fear each year before getting disembowled alive

Brussels is a great example of a train briefly turning into a subway. There's pretty much never a fare check either, so it's essentially a free north south subway line at very high frequency.

you'd have to think to ask the question first.

these sort of deep cuts people generally learn by osmosis, it bobs up through the blog roll, in conversation, at code review, ...

Yep. There are no silver bullets, and the only way through is shaving down the inefficiencies one by one. Really hard to advocate for in an org.

yeah - i suppose so that the car coopted a lot of older parts too. i live in a pre-car neighborhood in the midwest, and end up driving a lot. public transport is very poor, and city center is a shell, there's nothing left to anchor the city, everything is essentially suburb, even the old parts.

> some French social-philosopher

was it Jacques Ellul? He made a real impact on me, his analysis that people adapt to the machine rather than the other way around, even will internalize its value system. In modern society, "efficiency" remains the sole aspiration, which is a technological value, not a human one. fwiw - don't recall if he wrote a lot about cars though.

Yeah, and if you have a car in any of those city centers dating from before the car, it's inconvenient and you'll walk for little errands, it'd be insane to drive. In suburbia, car is convenient, and sure, europe has a lot of suburbia too

Oh no!

So you mean built for cars

The future of nyc is one with electric kei cars puttering around for the one offs and trams and subways for everything else. I can see it in my minds eye and it is better in every way

They're only convenient in cities built for cars.

Dont they clank!

Satie heard music where others didn't and found a way to write it down. So fresh still too.

I host a meetup for telecommuters for the same reasons you're starting this up.

Given it's Meetup, there's no "auditioning". The hardest part of that is that the demographic is so enormously wide wrt age, gender, cultural and educational background, profession... it's tough for real connections to grow for people just expecting to drop in just once. But come/host consistently, and eventually clumps of people do start to gel. So you're right, consistency is key.

Also - the more simple we keep it, happy hour, dinner, the more people seem to enjoy it. Honestly, it's just an excuse to leave the house and booze at this point.

I'm thinking "auditioning" may not be a bad thing if you want to avoid some of the dragnet effects of just being open like Meetup. Explicitly going for the yuppie crowd is just a hard thing to advertise on an open platform. ie. nobody's going to show up at the "26 to 38 creatives and dev adjacent telecommuters that live in the cool neighborhood, doctors allowed if they leave their attitudes at home"-Meetup, although that was I was originally hoping for. But on closed platform you'll be able to curate better.

Good luck dude!

yes thank you, I paraphrased Soddy, and for him debt was virtual wealth (and not subject to decay).
