Geometric algebra, related to quaternions, can represent Maxwell's equations in a single equation, using polyvectors and the inner and outer products.

The subalgebras formed by scalar and bivectors (1, x^y, y^z, z^x)--or the monovectors and the pseudoscalar (x, y, z, x^y^z)--from a three-dimensional geometric algebra have a lot of the same mathematical properties as quaternions.

I don't know whether or not octonions have a similar relationship with a 4-D geometric algebra, where one dimension is a timelike dimension, because that is one gnarly mess of anticommutative, nonassociative math to wade through.

Web: typescript frontend and phoenix (Elixir) backend is My new setup.

Apps: Flutter and if I need it switch to native. But flutter is really good for my simple needs!
A nitpick: none of the countries you listed were in the non-aligned movement.
For the backend I start with Node, then get tired of the runtime errors and switch to Go. Go is cool but soon I get tired of writing “if err == nil” so I switch to Haskell. Haskell is nice but soon I get tired of not finding decent libraries for some not very popular things that I use, so I say fuck it and go to rails. Ruby is nice and Rails feels well thought out and solid, but then I can’t help be annoyed that it’s not fast, so fuck it, I switch to Rust. I get tired of lifetimes and wrapping everything in RefCells so I switch to Erlang. Erlang is cool and all, but no fucking meta programming. Sucks, let’s try Lisp...

I am not making fast progress, I think the problem is my keyboard, I should try buying that Ducky one I have been eyeing for quite a while.

Scientific theories are not likely to be true: they are either true enough to be taken seriously or false enough to be dead.
Accumulation of evidence and knowledge makes scientific theories descend a ladder of wrongness that goes from unthinkable, to utterly ridiculous, to wrong but respectably clever, to somewhat grounded in reality, to good enough approximations for some purposes, to best in class but not perfect, to positively agreeing with all available evidence.

Given equally true theories scientists look to other properties to establish theory quality, and simplicity is a philosophically important one: it represents the belief that natural laws should be as simple and elegant as evidence allows them to be.

>>Of course, whoever hacks a vote counting machine can give any vote count they want, so they can set the margin however wide they want.

> what is needed is mass transit,

Why mass transit and not walking more or personal blimps shaped like giant Trump babies? To make them more than your opinion, you need to put some numbers on those statements.

And the numbers work much worse than you think: between the low energy efficiency and low occupancy at non-rush hours, the massive infrastructure and the longer routes due to non-optimal layout, mass transit is better than American gas guzzlers but nothing to write home about. Here's some numbers put up by people who share your opinion - and that do not even take all these effects into account: https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2012/11/can-we-please...

So for in-city transport, mass transit is a hard sell on environment alone. (Intercity transport like trains are great though, and there is a strong convergence there, self driving cars pair well with fast trains, giving the best of both worlds: flexibility, speed and low footprint)
AI Won't Kill the Job Market but Keep It Steady, PwC Report Says
I can't state how wrong you are. Believe it or not, different classes of life have different cells with different DNA. They use different pathways for almost everything.

As such, they are not equal. Specifically, insect cells are generally "more advanced" than ours (have more recent "basic" genes, more accurately adapted to their environment, tougher, ...), a lot smaller, ...

Bacteria are far more different from us than that, as are spores, other plants, ...

So yes, there are a LOT of compounds that throw a wrench into, say, insect procreation but have no known effect on humans.

We know that a very large group of internet users are directly or indirectly using Google's public resolvers, which do DNSSEC validation.

Therefor, any DNS stub library in common use already has to know about DNSSEC failures, because in some countries, like The Netherlands, or Sweden, a very large fraction of the domains are DNSSEC signed.

Due to those Google public resolvers, broken DNSSEC doesn't go unnoticed. So broken DNSSEC is actually quite rare these days.

I find that history is best viewed as a phenomenon of consciousness—the mind's awareness of itself. With awareness of oneself comes awareness of the eventuality of death, the discovery of the "future" and its opposite, the past. In this sense history is a discovery of conscious beings of which humans are the most advanced by probably orders of magnitude (which is a difficult thing to quantify to say the least).

It's not so much that history is "about" humans; it only really applies to humans in the first place. To have a history of "elephants" is just to have a history of elephants as understood by humans—unless it's elephants that are communicating it.

It's very hard to come up with reliable likely voter models, not least because there are significant changes in people who vote every time. The opinion polls in the 2017 British general election were out, for example, because in the event unusual numbers of unlikely voters came out to vote Labour. Things were obviously going to be different that time (Labour had elected a deeply unlikey leader and repositioned itself) but no-one had any solid evidence how turnout patterns would change, or to what degree.

So yes, inaccurate likely voter modeling is a serious problem. But it's really hard if things are changing, politically.

Okay so, I'm about to pay off my mortgage, so a month or two ago I started looking into ways to invest all the extra money I was using to pay extra principal. I've never really paid attention to this before, but in most of the charts I found about market performance, there were dips coinciding with a both the 2002 and 2008 recessions - this part makes sense.

The part I'm confused about is that they also had a similar dip in 2016. Yet no one seems to even mention it.

Was there a small recession in 2016 as well, or were there other factors involved and the 2002/2008 dips just coincidence?

In Icelandic "rífa" is the common verb for "tear" (as in tearing things apart). Its plural middle voice [1] form is "rífast", literally "we tear ourselves", means to have an argument (as in a disagreement, not logic).

Flask (hosted by pythonanywhere) and Neo4j from Graphene.

Chose both because I wanted consistency between the abstraction of my business logic, and the spec of my implementation.

I get some chippy guff about using graphs, but by taking the time to define my business logic as a grammar, expressing that grammar as a graph, then implementing it directly into the model, I get a lot of "aha," moments from potential customers.

Graphs can be analogous to functional languages in that if you are using them, there is a higher likelyhood you've reasoned something through before implementing it.
Another point of decentralised services is cutting out the middleman and this is what should be appealing to content creators.

Yeah, but with Borg you can have many of them, all directly accessible with one click from the Borg job status page: e.g. a general status, a view of the work queue if it's something like a crawler, incoming and outgoing RPCs, memory/cpu profiles, etc. You don't want them all on the same page for performance reasons: they would eat up a lot of temporary memory/cycles, hold important locks for long periods of time, etc. And if you need to look at a bunch of containers, you don't want to navigate to subpages for each of them.

(A dam the size of Three Gorges? Not even close to being easy.) Throw in concerting projects, and to call it "not that difficult" is, frankly, laughable.

> No GC support

> No threading

> No exceptions

Along with not forcing any object model, this looks like very reasonable design choices to me. (I'd add "no global mutable state", but it's being added.)

Reason 1: this is very similar to what a (RISC) CPU would offer. If anyone need to implement these features, they can be implemented on top of WASM, as they can be implemented on top of a CPU IS. A small specification not loaded with such complex issues as GC or object model is much easier to keep correct and fast. Also, any advances in e.g. GC can be pushed to older WASM implementations, because they don't replace the VM, they are libraries.

Reason 2: Using message-passing between processes ("workers") instead of threading, and Option/Maybe instead of exceptions, is a known way to avoid a large number of problems. The current WASM design makes this approach simple and reasonably natural. There's a reason why Erlang is designed as it is; WASM can take a page from its book.

I can't remember the source (or I'd paste a link here), but the current thinking is that, overall, the best way to choose shoes (for safety & performance) is to pick a pair that's comfortable. That might range from Tarahumara style sandals to Uber-cushioned Hokas to a super-stiff stability shoe. The important thing is to test a bunch and pick what works for you, and not to isolate in a specific sub-category (minimal, zero drop, cushioned, stability, neutral).
