Amen. If you've ever had to deal with repairing French frames from before the 1980s you know that finding a memory leak in a race condition is easy in comparison.

I'm going to repeat this verbatim in my next technical interview. I still have nightmares about an old peugeot px10

How would electrical resistance drop in space? If you're thinking "because it's cold" that's actually the biggest issue. The vacuum means you can't dispose of heat easily, so you need giant radiators, which are expensive, heavy, etc.


I mean, if you don't care at all about cuisine, style, location etc. I guess? Searching is half the fun of something like that.

Anyways I will (continue to) not touch Chrome with a 1000ft pole after this. AI is awful in almost every aspect I've ever tasked it to.


It’ll give me a list of what’s available, the searching process isn’t made any more fun by including restaurants which will be a pain in the ass to book for a given date.

You can always ask for a list and still make the final decision yourself.


We do have good rails, but they're regional. the NE Corridor is pretty solid overall and METRA and Amtrak in the Chicago area works quite well.


The brand new fastest rail in the country is barely over half the speed of the Shanghai bullet train, so I have to disagree about our rails being "good" even in the best case.


There wasn't even enough assembly space this year, it was bursting at the seams. Sadly I think CCH is just too small for this conference. There's a much bigger conference space space down the street, but the rumor is that going back to Leipzig (where it was held during the renovation of CCH) is back in discussion. That place was too big though.


I liked the roominess of Leipzig once I'd gotten used to it. The central "hallway" looked cool with all the decoration.


The rumor about going elsewhere is indeed going strong.


The big reason for tunnel 3 isn't new population growth, it's so that the other tunnels can be shut down for maintenance and inspection. NYC's population is more or less stable over the last 90 years.


yes


The Verazano is already more expensive than congestion pricing. It's cheaper to drive to Manhattan from Jersey than Brooklyn via Staten Island. Never heard any Jersey driver complain though.


There's a large (long time) movement to do this to lower Manhattan, the most public transit connected area in the US (probably North America, definitely up there in the world). It's getting pick up again.


I had a lecture from the main researcher of that paper when I was in undergrad, fantastic lecturer and very interesting topic. The whole class actually applauded him after he finished (that isn't something that happens in US universities usually).


Do you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Doebley ? See also https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/25/science/25creature.html for the story of how maize was traced back to teosinte using hybrids and some literature with more scientific detail: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0168952592...


Yep, I went to UW Madison and he's affiliated with it, so my professor had him do a guest lecture.
