@scott@sfba.social @younata@hachyderm.io SOUPS! SOUPS! Other than this and Intel Optane, we’ve never really questioned the fundamentals of computer architecture. Even in early USSR or China systems, AFAIK. Microsoft tried and failed making a FileDB and it basically derailed Vista as we know it? They had their turn to rethink NTFS. Too late now? And even now, things like contacts and the entire way we cloud-sync app data shows that file formats aren’t the only option, or even a good one sometimes (No, don’t look at Windows Registry)

@younata@hachyderm.io Apple was really cooking with pixel-perfect fonts in the late 1980s. Espy, Charcoal and my personal favourite, Sharron (8, but also 16), for taming the impossible 2:1 pixel aspect ratio. They said it couldn’t be done 😉

@chrispoole@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social Anyway I’ve done less than 50,000 miles on this one and am realising that the urge to upgrade is the most materialistic thing out of all the things. Lowest bang for buck. And the engine has even been feeling BETTER since the warranty ran out and I got to choose my own mechanic. But anything might happen tomorrow, like a collision and write-off. So like all good nerds, I always maintain a mental note of “my next X will be the Y”, whether it’s cars, computers, TVs or video players. In middle-age this has broadened to espresso machines, HVAC, induction stoves and everything kitchen & laundry (Miele is winning, often, though it’s the last chance to buy Made in Germany) Oh and toasters — all hail the Avanti Tefal Hi-Speed … RIP you GOAT, I think I found the last refurbished one in 2026. Do not fool yourself with the sequel knock-off model, which will never throw your toast onto the plate!

@chrispoole@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social Same — so I kept a close eye on the VW Golf Neo which just launched the 2026 version. They actually listened to all the criticisms of the last one and … fixed them? Hey wow. What I’m dying to find is anything that doesn’t have the 2020s disease of “wide hips” — the windows are narrower than the wheelbase, for no reason. Not just hatchbacks but everything (barring Tesla, but their designs are 2010s). I just don’t understand the benefit of having harder parking and drive-thru experiences, when getting no more shoulder room inside, and no more luggage capacity. (The 2018 Golf series is still the benchmark). It feels like form over function.

@atpfm@mastodon.social If you want “beach metrics”, tell me what you think of Sydney’s beaches, the ones north of the famous two (Bondi and Manly) Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why … Mona Vale, Newport, Avalon? There’s goldilocks levels of uniformity, curvature, width (the walk from grass to water), steepness (on sand and in water), and a gorgeous view with clifftops at the headlands. Each have a slightly different angle into the ocean. So not just the essentials like sand quality and climate. Or access to civilisation. I’m talking about the suitability for just “enjoying” the beach like John would do, not necessarily about surfer popularity — though that is absolutely there too. 🤔 this might be the most suitable clip — iPhone related + Sydney northern beaches — when YouTuber Luke Miani drove up to do a comparison of iPhone 14 and 15 cameras: https://youtu.be/Y8oZKg2o7zE?t=210 … part of his series of “I went to Australia to buy the iPhone hours before everyone else”

@NicelyManifest@mastodon.social @paulschoe@mastodon.world Yes, nation-states are the de-facto incorporation of an identity / religion / family because all the other options have to come second, when push comes to shove. Oh wait, not multinationals. Well hopefully “the marketplace of ideas” is also alive. I think charters like those of human rights, correctly try to make it “not need to matter” which nation you’re in. Even if it’s just a statement of “These things we hold to be … expected” then that’s useful, to set a standard.

@NicelyManifest@mastodon.social @paulschoe@mastodon.world I’m alluding to Theodor Herzl’s prophetic calls, such as in 1896, for the necessity of a Jewish state, and what would happen without one. He may have been more correct than he knew, and his point remains true. Just because something is a good idea, or necessary, or great when it exists properly, doesn’t mean others can’t ruin it on purpose too — and then look at you and say “hey, this thing you said you like? It’s a bad thing, see?” The necessity still exists and the glory is still viable. “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”, but on a geopolitical scale. Oh, and last but not least — In a recursive masterstroke of evil, “MAGA” is in essence the right idea, when it’s not a lie. Make the constitution great again? Make SCOTUS great again? And all the other things with a definition of “great” that promotes life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, rather than making a privileged group jealous of others as an excuse to centralize all power.

@mprove@hci.social @sixcolors@zeppelin.flights If I could remember the details of what held back multitasking in System 6, I would: Maybe it was something as simple as default-on. The term “MultiFinder” was a big deal in the late 1980s then not in the 1990s. Naturally the purists learning computing science would correctly point out that “true multitasking” required Unix-like capabilities, and would not be happy until Mac OS X. This is also “my” era or when I got familiar with MacOS properly — all of the extensible architecture was amazing. “System 7 Pro”, when a bunch of core features (to us now) were held back for Pro users only. Classic era is now viewed as a monolith against the NeXT / Mach-powered OS X era, but that’s unfair, just like viewing “analogue TV” as one era and not splitting it into B&W and color. (In fact the “digital era” is looking like a poor categorization, with broadcast versus streaming the correct one; it saddens me that my first paid job was defined by “digital broadcasting”, something that is turning into a footnote, i.e. won’t take long for people to conflate 2 or 3 other technology transitions).

@NicelyManifest@mastodon.social @paulschoe@mastodon.world Yeah. If someone wanted to undermine the purpose and longevity of the project of a Jewish independent state from within — a purpose whose need has been evident for decades at least, before WW2 — I can’t think of how it would be more successfully undermined than we see now. (This, by the way, is the looming fate of many great and noble projects and institutions, possibly happening more than ever since the 1990s … from the USA to the BBC, to name but two … is this kind of failure rate historically precedented or not?) But in this case it’s encapsulated by the need to boycott Israel at Eurovision for initiating a 5D chess Green New Deal

Replying to @atpfm@mastodon.social
@atpfm@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social your take is absolutely right about pedestrians & bikes & cars John was probably hinting at the “orange pilled” philosophy — and having tried Amsterdam recently (while being aware of LA’s similarity to Amsterdam 1960s, except the weather is better and LESS windy), I can say it makes you want to have these Nice Things for yourself at home What very few mention is that per mile, cycleways (and pedestrian paths) are 99% less expensive than roads. That’s mostly down to the maintenance costs from the weight of vehicles. So … a year of roads funding could buy a century of cycle paths, all with 3-lane / segregated pedestrian paths too. Even the YouTuber “Road Guy Rob” has said that the only logical solution is to acknowledge three kinds of traffic at three speeds, and build out 3 networks of paving. For what it’s worth, I always think he and “Not Just Bikes” agree on 90% or 95% or even 100% and it’s just a difference in their hobby focus and interest. Road Guy Rob had a fascinating review of the “bicycle freeway” in South Carolina, which is incredible if only because it’s a guide to How To Have Nice Things, The American Way — it’s odd from a non-US perspective but hey if it works it works! https://youtu.be/NxGYs8kHxw4

@edwiebe@scribili.masto.host @steven_pigeon@mstdn.ca @BoydStephenSmithJr@hachyderm.io @rk@mastodon.well.com … is the correct approach for most people. I find a lot of these tools (I work with a lot of the video restoration tasks) like the invention of dynamite. Most people need to steer clear of it. If you have an explosives licence, you’ll know whether to use it. And using it involves a ton of preparation. The sorts of queries I put into LLMs take me minutes to write, second guessing everything, and securing all the preventions of mistakes. It really is like giving a school student a task to write a history essay. It can be done, but they need guidance. There is a limit: Anything that hasn’t truly been done before, cannot be done. If you ask a kid to invent antigravity, it’ll turn out as bad as an LLM. But AI = Average Intelligence, the average of humanity. If you know that others know stuff you don’t, then it’s going to leverage others’ intelligence for you.

@jeremyburge@mastodon.world I had this happen for a hospital appointment recently. My first thought was to check, “wait, this IS an inner city location, I thought? No I did pick the right address, phew.”

Their guidance has been negligently left in the 1960s:

  • assumes wife is coming to pick you up
  • but also wife isn’t working and can be somewhere nearby after dropping you off
  • but also wife isn’t entitled (or interested) to receive updates on progress, but instead must be available on a 15-minute notification
  • the husband must be driven home for some reason: the nearby metro must be avoided, or “you wouldn’t want that”, I mean, why do you want to travel that fast?
  • and no, “there is no space” for ride sharing pickups
  • but we have a huge carpark ready for you, you’re welcome, yes we are generous, um oops it now costs us money though so please pay

Screw that, I still have working feet — yep, not amputated yet. It was lovely outside.

I’d go for an outdoor wheelchair if I had to.

Just spend a week in Amsterdam, take the orange pill 💊

@alexglow Yesterday was a high water mark for healthy nerding out — a local YouTuber (transit / urbanist / etc) hosted a quiz night, and I decided to take a chance and carry some self-designed nerdy merch and a fairly esoteric t-shirt with an economics geek joke on it And so half a dozen times before / during / after the quiz, I kept meeting the loviest people wanting to ask about it. Turns out having 15 different (but evolutionarily linked) transport logos on your drinks mug and tote bag is a popular move in the right crowd. Even the Keynesian reference was spotted by an economics graduate. That phrase “strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet” never felt so true So anyway now two of us are going to design and sell posters of radically modified transmit maps (“diagrams actshually”) online, for whomever wants to see their cities in a very new way
