What you bring up stems from two things, infrastructure needs to prioritize busses, and second comparing busses to single car does not work. Since we are obviously talking about rush hour. At a traffic light in a busy intersection where I l

This does not work if you want to speed up routes in rush hour, because people will demand stops at every block. Usually people are not alturistic enough to get off in bulk if they have the option to stop everywhere. Busses work great even

That means a car economy, the question of what is local is a good one, there is a reason the world population is spread out the way it is.

Thanks for that link, but it does note that this is also latency, i.e. transmission delay, and at 500KB/s Eshell has a very high latency for bulk transfer especially considering it's 10MB/s slower than the nearest comptitor.

1950 isn't that long ago, I've read books from that era in the last 12 months, even computer science papers from that era are not too uncommon.

I must say even 2 ms feels rather slow just to execute something hot in cache.

Yes of course, and I have no insight into how they worked with maps (except remote imaging), I just know that the amount of hours you need to invest per village with 300+ pop is quite large. There are also several organizational issue with

I do not doubt some people were using unclassified public domains maps. CIA should use Openstreetmap so they can all share the same info, just add a "NOT_FOR_TERRIES" the the entries that should be kept secret. Getting names of la

Probably not, but it depends on your program. I've been suprised how well it worked in some places just loading the parts of a program and working with that shimming between them, but as is stated elsewhere it's not really about

There are two different arguments here, one very common and long lived that Apple is good at protecting users, and the other that Apple is not prioritizing the process for web developers. Maybe you are conflating them?

Actually you are sharing your beliefs, which are as valid the university students who believe in magic. We have those in Europe as well, that is also why there are religious universities in the US. Cultural differences, and language barrier

It's actually worse, because you have to factor in media attention, advertisement, bias etc to things that makes the problem worse; e.g. most of those hearts and respitory deaths can be attributed to pollution and lack of exercise, th

Requiring basic Emacs knowledge is just too much, just looking through the features of org-babel I can't really find anything that makes it better suited. Except not having to bother with a webbrowser, that is a nice plus, but hardly

I do not know if this is an issue with RPI, but some crappy devices only support TFTP from the DHCP server, you can solve this with two dhcp servers or iptables port forwarding.

With some hackery you can get an RTKLIB compatible GPS for as low as $30, but one should expect to pay no less than $200-$400 for a ready made solution with an useable antenna. Costs go up fast from there.

This is for federal highways, traffic in a city should not go faster than 25mph in most shared spaces. Motorways is a different subject, but there should only be overpasses or resegined roads and traffic lights for such places.
