Your version of glibc is too old. Mint 19 is based off Ubuntu 18.04, which ships glibc 2.27, whereas this binary seems to require symbol versions first shipped in glibc 2.34. You'll have to compile from source, or update your distro to

The old Tappan Zee was basically a perfect encapsulation of "dumb midcentury infrastructure decisions." 1. Built to last only 50 years to save on materials (as the other commenter noted). 2. Built over literally the widest possibl

God yeah it's like a hypothetical version of the AirTrain that isn't a huge pain. Last time I flew out of JFK from Manhattan IIRC the easiest way was to do the E or LIRR from Penn to the AirTrain anyway , so might as well streaml

Adding on to the other comment, multiprocessing is also kinda broken on Linux/Mac. 1. Because global objects are refcounted, CoW effectively isn't a thing on Linux. They did add a way to avoid this [0], but you have to manually ca

If you don't mind I'm super curious as to what approach you ended up taking. Did you use rules_foreign_cc to build the ninja files they generate? Or generating BUILD files directly? Or something completely different? Sounds like a

This is a super common setup in my part of NYC (minus the elevator). It seems to work fairly well, especially since it makes it viable to have lots of buildings in a row with minimal wasted space between them. It's definitely not the d

Not sure if you're aware, but ransomware insurance is already a significant industry, and the contracts usually stipulate that the client company undergoes some type of regular auditing. From what I've heard, insurance companies a

Yeah to be honest I think approvingly quoting the author of "The Fascist Manifesto" probably well exceeds the cutoff for "dogwhistle." At this point the only thing left is for a16z to start a youth brigade and invade Eth

Reference counting is a type of GC [0]. Just not a very good one in many cases. I think it's a fair assumption to say that the author is aware of what Arcs are and how they work. I believe their point is more so that because of how asy

Ehh Indian Point (the NY plant) wasn't really a concern with regards to natural disasters. We get some occasional (very minor) earthquakes and a hurricane once in a decade or so, but I doubt the latter would do much vs many tons of rei

The issue isn't the states though, it's the fact that it's still scheduled (and thus completely illegal) at the federal level. So those states that have legalized it are in a bit of a gray area: the past few presidents have b

std::expected and a monadic interface for std::optional are very welcome changes. I've ended up with funky utility types to accomplish much the same thing in a couple projects, so an official interface is definitely nifty. I remember r

That case appears to be specific to Gemini Earn, a "staking" product where users would loan Gemini money and in exchange would get returns on that money through Gemini/Genesis's investment of those funds. Under the Howey

I can't speak to the other cities you listed, but living in New York I think the media narrative around Eric Adams's mayoral victory is... a bit overblown. It's true that he won 67% of the vote in the actual election [0]. But

Notably many anti-statehood groups boycotted these plebiscites, and analysts noted that the questions were poorly structured. For example, the 2017 referendum had a result of 97% in favor of statehood... because only pro-statehood voters sh

I wonder if it hit some max execution time heuristic or something like that. As a quick test, I added a static_assert() that depends on the returned value, which seems to force complete evaluation to happen at compile time. With that, all 3
