Finding the right balance of capacity is a tough problem because cities generally intend to grow, and it's expensive to to have unused capacity. As well if you actually build for that, people will say the project is a failure since rid

These shelves must be huge! In Australia, highest cost is buying up required land and construction of buildings. We spent ~100mil USD on a single, open air platform for a line extension of exactly that one station. It was about 5 km of extr

That is in the article. The intention is a frequent, arrive and go service. Maybe every 2, 5, 10 minutes, whatever the actual details will be, that is the goal.

I think the up front investment is quite literally the problem this is solving for. If it weren't, you would just use light rail. The ability for the tracks to be laid so shallow is in my view, the entire innovation and cost is the rea

When my rental was damaged by a neighbouring house fire, we were kicked out of the house the next day. This was a contingency I hadn't planned well for. I have long thought that I need my homelab/tools to have hardcases and a low

You can be affected by something and not care about it. You can be affected by things you don't even know about, like the way regulations shape the houses we can live in.

Programmers did not build the aviation industry, it evolved over more than a century of flight, many of these conventions predate computing in aviation. Much of the lack of convention is just that the real world is pretty messy. A programme

They love to drop things on you from the trees. They laugh and laugh, the cacophony of screeches can be deafening. They mess with traffic all day long too, swooping cars from the traffic lights. My family has a rescue Galah, very similar to

To me delegation requires the full cycle of agency, with the awareness that I probably shouldn't be interrupted shortly after delegating. I delegated so I can have space from the task and so babysitting it really doesn't suit my n

The financials are all inflated by perception of future impact. This includes the current subscriptions as businesses are attempting to use AI to some economic benefit, but it's not all going to work out to be useful. It will take some

Google, and the tech industry in general, has erased all trust I have in their ability to actually keep something confidential. They don't want to, and so they won't. If they don't use some legal workaround to consume it from

People love to bother about Java MC performance, but I ran a modded Tekkit sever for like 10 years on a base Digital Ocean VM. Shoutout to Digital Ocean for having no impactful changes for 10 years too. They give me a VM, I run the thing, l

This is a perfect example actually, the remediation actions required should have been taken decades ago, it was urgent then. We have just gotten so used to seeing no immediate downside to kicking the can down the road that we have collectiv

Not to be too simple about it, but this does happen every night. We already require (and achieve) sufficient grid diversification, without batteries and all the cool stuff coming in future. I am not against nuclear, but I do believe we woul

I think you hit the nail on the head, especially for deeply embedded enterprise software. The long action chains/time taken to set up debugging scenarios is what makes debugging time consuming. Solving the inference side of things woul

And if it wasn't what you wanted, well maybe you are wrong. An AI that intelligent is always right after all. Seriously though, at some point AI does actually need an input from the user, if we are imagining ourselves still as the user

I'm not sure that's right, method chaining is just immediately acting on the return of the previous function, directly. It doesn't pass the return into the next function like a pipeline. The method must exist on the returned

In most debuggers I have used, if you put a breakpoint on the first line of the method chain, you can "step over" each function in the chain until you get to the one you want. Bit annoying, but serviceable. Though there's not
