My order doesn't super matter but I do like to maintain it. I tried for a long time using CSS columns but I didn't have good luck with that either, though I can't remember exactly why

Cloning a hard drive can produce the same data, but without any networking, there's no reason for the original machine to know anything from the perspective of the new one

I was always a fan of Ninite (https://ninite.com) for quickly installing software on a new PC. Unfortunately, it's Windows-only and works by giving you a custom .exe.

By using existing package managers, PackagePicker is simpler and can support multiple platforms fairly easily. It installs software in the same way you normally would with a package manager. so things like `brew upgrade` will work on both!

I'm open to feedback. Specifically, I would love to know if there are any must-have apps that I'm missing, or any apps that don't really make sense in 2023.

I also want to know if there are other popular package managers I should add, especially since distro-hopping is probably a big reason people would use something like this.

Thanks!

You can pick a time interval and the average amount of times an event (scoring a point, for example) that occur in that interval and get a realistic random simulation.

The time period could be a whole game or every 30 seconds during a game.

Unless there's something about cricket I don't know that makes it a bad match for this

Email has size limitations. Many services don't like to share .exe files. Some will apply compression (unlisted youtube videos). I like this because it's a simple app that allows you to share files with others, and give them a link to share files to you.

What I do believe is that there are tons of edge cases, and diminishing returns with trying to solve for all of them. And, I would guess that it will take quite a while (the decade I mentioned) before self driving technology is capable of making >95% of trips autonomously without extra issues that most human drivers would handle.

Additionally, I think there are moral and comfort issues with AI that need to be addressed. This is speculation, but Waymo likely aims for the appearance of safety and tunes things to be overly cautious. That is at odds with some of the dynamics of driving in NYC, where you need to be assertive and maybe even risky, and I'm curious to see how that will play out.

I can see how it sounds like I'm just shitting on this tech. My intention was more to describe that self-driving in NYC is maybe even a harder problem than it sounds, and possibly an overreaction to the hype about this technology. I think about it pretty often when I'm driving or biking and encounter situations that seem very difficult for a computer to navigate.

Sometimes you roll up to an intersection, and every time the light turns green, the direction you're trying to go already has all lanes filled by another approaching direction. Every time.

- obvious, but large numbers of pedestrians and cyclists

- 2 way roads becoming 1 lane where the directions must take turns due to construction, deliveries, or the Uber in front of you stopping in the middle of traffic for a pickup

- resurfaced roads that don't have lines painted on them for weeks or months

- congested intersections where you'd probably need to wait 3 hours to pass through legally, so you have to just pull into the intersection trusting that traffic will clear when the next light turns green

- pittsburgh lefts need to happen for the sake of traffic flow sometimes

- sometimes you need to do very human and assertive "negotiation" to get into the lane you need.

- another comment mentioned Waymo cars just rerouting to the next turn when no cars would let them in. There are a decent number of situations where that will cost you 5-30 minutes of extra trip time

- you can disrupt traffic flow quite badly if you e.g. don't pull up to the crosswalk, and out of the way of cars behind you, while waiting for pedestrians to cross on a turn (humans are also bad at this)

- it's difficult to overstate how often cars/vans/trucks are double parked, changing the lanes available, forcing cars and bikes to improvise lanes. This isn't an occasional thing, this is a 10x on a 15 minute trip thing

Doesn't it seem likely that the piles of bodies outside in refrigerated trucks were way more photographable, and like the nursing home bodies were not all in one place, or were too identifiable as individuals?

I'm sure there are photos of unidentifiable bodies being wheeled out of nursing homes. Here's one: https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/...

It is not, at all
