There actually is a sidewalk conveyor belt (and some sidewalk escalators) in operation in Bilbao. I'm not sure how much of a maintenance headache it is in practice, but it does make a hilly neighborhood more easily accessible. https:&

Mouse aside, Bravo isn't in here because its command set doesn't feel like an ancestor or a child of any of these other editors. For example it uses G (for Get) to load files and P (for Put) to save them, instead of r (for read) a

There is not a lot of code overlap in most cases, even between ed and ex. The relationships are generally more about command sets than direct forking of code.

I made it by hand in vi.

I didn't include it, because the original question was where vi and its predecessors came from, not what offspring did it have itself.

The other hard part with trying to learn piano from pop is that most of the available arrangements of current hits are trying to transcribe the hit recording rather than to put something on paper that is comfortably readable and playable. I

There is very little code in common between Apple DOS and Apple ProDOS. A disassembly of ProDOS is much more likely.

"100% affordable" doesn't just mean "less expensive": it has legal significance. It means that it costs a household with 55% to 60% of area median income at most 30% of their income. There is a table of the allowabl

Yes, market rate is what you would pay for other comparable apartments. The sheer cost of land is a big part of the problem, but so are the fixed costs of construction. If you are taking advantage of the density bonus, you are probably also

Not without being explicit about what you mean by "quality of life." There are amenities of density and there are amenities of sparseness and people disagree about the relative importance of those amenities.

"100% affordable" means that every apartment is priced below market rate, and in this case is also below the cost of buying the land and constructing the apartment. The extra money has to come from somewhere. With "30% afford

Oh, sorry, I thought you meant my (price) model, not the Berkeley (production) model!

I think you're reading it backwards. The coefficients are the exponents that follow the parameters. The large negative one is the housing supply, because prices go down as more housing exists.

What do you mean? The model is nothing but rent=demand/supply with an attempt to figure out what weights go on these parameters. What would you do differently? (Author of blog post here.)

There are only about 5 walkable cities in the US. Boston would have been the other possibility for the computer industry. It might have worked but doesn't have that much better odds than San Francisco for making room for everyone.

Yes, in ASCII-1963, there was a left-arrow instead of underscore.

Once upon a time it was all in one repository. Shortly after I started there in late 2005, the "HIP" source code (high-value intellectual property, I think it stood for) was moved to its own source tree, with only precompiled bina

The book was typeset by the authors, so it seems unlikely. K&R style is clearly in evidence in source code from 1973 such as https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...

If you are interested in what the 2013 data looks like at full resolution, I have a web map of it ( https://www.mapbox.com/blog/vector-density/ ). Haven't updated with the new data yet.

I think the point is that the standard clefs would be better aligned if there were 6 lines instead of 5, so both bass and treble could be EGBDFA. It would put the low C one below the bass clef and the high C one above the treble clef, inste

Lateral recording was a patent workaround. Thomas Edison had patented vertical recording and was not interested in licensing it to anyone else, so Berliner used the noisier, but available, lateral technique.

The character that is now underscore in ASCII-1967 and in the present really was a left-arrow in ASCII-1963, so that's why it's written that way.

What they said in 1976 was that they wanted to be "able to hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." So more than BASIC, but without the notion that the computer software market would grow to encompass
