The most far-out thing I've made work on the cloud browser is Quake 3. In fact, unless input on the remote page is focused, I do not transmit all key events (only things like Space, Enter and Tab). But you can look around with the pointer.

Or see for yourself. Visit http://quakejs.com in the CloudBrowser and select your options and start. It really does work.

Also, the failure to use WASD motivates me to transmit all key events regardless of remote page form control focus.

There's no need for negative mass.

Some of the matter falling towards a supermassive black hole is converted into energy. This energy is delivered to the surrounding gas, and leads to large outflows of matter, which stretch for hundreds of thousands of light years from the black holes, reaching far beyond the extent of their host galaxies.

Our visible universe is in the outflow of a universal black hole. As ordinary matter falls toward the universal black hole it evaporates into dark matter. It is the dark matter outflow which pushes the galaxy clusters, causing them to move outward and away from us. The dark matter outflow is dark energy.

The galaxy clusters which have been pushed for longer than we have are accelerating outward and away from us. We are accelerating outward and away from the galaxy clusters which have been pushed for less time than we have. From our perspective most of the galaxy clusters are accelerating away from us.

Dark energy is the dark matter outflow associated with our universal black hole.

You toss a bunch of ping pong balls into a fast flowing stream. As long as the stream is flowing faster than the ping pong balls the ping pong balls are going to accelerate. As the ping pong balls empty into a lake, again, as long as the stream is flowing faster than the ping pong balls, the ping pong balls are going to continue to accelerate as they move outward and away from one another.

In the analogy, the fast flowing stream emptying into the lake is dark energy, the water is dark matter and the ping pong balls are the galaxy clusters. The ping pong balls displace the water. The water pushing back and exerting pressure toward the ping pong balls is gravity.
Author here. I can relate to that sentiment but indeed, closing the lid worked so reliably well on my MacBook that it would basically be the same as keeping the lid open and walking to the next room. Meaning: I open the lid, it wakes up, unlocks with either my watch or fingerprint, all within a second and I'm right where I was; meanwhile, while the lid was closed, power consumption was near-zero; I could leave it like that for a month, and open it, I hear the clicking sound from unlocking via watch with a tap an my wrist, and voila. Even my running VMs would still be in the same state.

And yes, Dell is to blame for the power consumption, also according so someone commenting on the blog post, I updated the blog post accordingly
> Epstein had also been taken off suicide watch nine days earlier.

That's a big reason why this is so suspicious.
Nice story, would make a good history movie, they are running out of those in there. So far the topics of cz historical movies are:

- Hussites - early protestant church (based in Prague) turned mercenary army after Vatican burned their leader at stake

- How trendy it was to be "Czech" before WWI, when part of the Austrian empire

- How silly was WWI from the czech point of view (Svejk)

- Legions in the White army in WWI

- How great it was during the first republic (1918-WWII)

- How bad it was during WWII, the Munich betrayal

- How bad/silly it was just after WWII

- How bad it was during the communist rule (1948-1989)

- How silly it was during the communist rule

- Another betrayal, by the Warsaw pact armies in August 1968

- How wild it was during the 90s

.. and most of those are pretty drained.

I googled the topic in czech and not much popped up.

Thanks for the link, it was a good read!
What are the chances this could use an api to sync state with a server/service, for team usage?
As I get older and crankier I find simplicity and stability become a lot more interesting than reinventing the same wheels over and over again.

This is probably why I’ve come to appreciate Rich Hickey’s talks more and more as years go by.

I think Clojure is a good fit when it comes to stability as per their own development guidelines [1]:

The Clojure development team values a measured and thoughtful approach to language evolution with a strong emphasis on maintaining backward compatibility.

Not really. Many companies do it with AI. Ziprecruiter is one...the emails you get are from "Phil" (phil@ziprecruiter.com) but Phil doesn't exist. Granted, if you reply to Phil you are explicitly told 1) Phil doesn't exist, it is AI, and 2) email replies to Phil are ignored. But making up people as a customer service interface is pretty common.

Come on over to Javaland, it's nice, warm, and the sun is always shining!

With the exception of the Java 8 -> Java 11 transition (skipping the non-LTS versions), things are pretty stable. You don't have to use any new-fangled features if you don't want... and your Java 3 code compiled nearly 20 years ago will still run just fine on modern JVM's.
Apparently as Epstein arrived or shortly before his death the guards were rotated and two with very little suicide watch experience were present. One was also caught sleeping?
And you'd find that Python is a go-to language for people writing such algorithms. The black hole image which was in the news was produced from massively complex data sets from across the world. Would you like to guess which programming language was used?

Python looping is often the slowest part of data analysis algorithms, but no-one uses Python loops is these cases. Vectorising this sort of analysis using fast extensions makes Python perfectly speedy enough for actual scientists.
I think this is exactly right.
The world keeps moving, if you don't want to move with it then pick something that has already stopped.

Maybe C? Cobol? Ada? Fortran? Though even those languages have modern flavors & updates...

We make progress because we learn, not just new technology, bu new approaches to old problems. When I see an "old" programmer who keeps writing C89 code because "it still works", it is painful to see them rejecting decades of learnings about how to write better software.
Right, especially in small-medium companies it's not practical to isolate yourself completely. Eventually - even if it's years - you end up spending a fair amount of time mentoring juniors.

Have you read any Chinese poetry? AFAIK it inspired the "concrete" movement in western poetry. In just a few characters a Chinese poem can create a whole world. So while western poetry to me often just seems like word craft, Chinese poetry answers the "what's the point" question by creating a rich world in your mind with as few words as possible.

It demonstrates that with just a few subtle linguistic cues the human mind can be made to simulate an entire world. And, more importantly, if those cues are well chosen that world will be complete with memory, emotion, sound, light, and movement. Not because those things are in the poem itself, they exist in your response to the poem as the negative space is filled in by your imagination. In that way poets are engineers not of language but of the human mind.

What better to do with history than learn from it?

Also, new tech trends are not just hot air, there's also a lot of innovation happening. You just have to see through the hype and wait until the dust settles.
Perhaps not necessary to write a poem, reading itself may help. Reading poetry is a more involved task than reading prose, your mind is forced build up all the details poems leave out.
But it's only people who live (and think) in clean room environs like computing that imagine biology is amenable to engineering. It's really not.

It's some people used to computing, it's some investors with a streak of optimism and it's some amateur pundits. Humans think in metaphors and "a machine" is one metaphor often used for life. It's not that good but the problem is pure vitalism is often the alternative and that's not good either.

As I understand the Spanish police and courts have framed Tsunami Democratic as part of the ongoing terrorism investigation similar to the "Judas Operation" [1], where 7 members of the CDRs have been arrested allegedly with raw materials and instructions to build explosives and were charged with terrorism. Within the investigation, the National Police has tied the CDR's and Tsunami as being the same organization [2].

Not saying they're right or wrong in their alleged charges, arrests or decision to link Tsunami Democratic to terrorism, but it's all being run by the same investigating judge [3] which explains the mindset behind the decision. The presumed "terrorist actions" could be easily justified as preventive and explain the injunctions.

I'm surprised there's no mention of Kessler Syndrome[1]. Launching, possibly multiple, high volume satellite networks is worrisome to me. Is the increase in number of satellites negated by the reduced launch debris from using reusable rockets?

Is there an implication that an increase in global cargo capacity also increases our ability to "launch" debris reduction/removal efforts?

This is beautiful! Not enough tiny, pure hacks are done anymore.

https://stallman.org/articles/on-hacking.html

The hacking community developed at MIT and some other universities in the 1960s and 1970s. Hacking included a wide range of activities, from writing software, to practical jokes, to exploring the roofs and tunnels of the MIT campus. Other activities, performed far from MIT and far from computers, also fit hackers' idea of what hacking means: for instance, I think the controversial 1950s "musical piece" by John Cage, 4'33" (), is more of a hack than a musical composition. The palindromic three-part piece written by Guillaume de Machaut in the 1300s, "Ma Fin Est Mon Commencement", was also a good hack, even better because it also sounds good as music. Puck appreciated hack value.

It is hard to write a simple definition of something as varied as hacking, but I think what these activities have in common is playfulness, cleverness, and exploration. Thus, hacking means exploring the limits of what is possible, in a spirit of playful cleverness. Activities that display playful cleverness have "hack value".

It's not all or nothing. There are still cars, they just don't have to be the default mode of transportation. For some circumstances cars can be useful tools, e.g. emergencies or rural living.

Having cities that require a car to participate in social life is hugely inefficient in terms of energy expenditure, public spending on infrastructure (e.g in the article the yearly expenditure on bike infrastructure is 500 million euros, that's probably about the cost of replacing one bridge made for cars), and also disproportionately impacts poor people, for whom car ownership can be a real financial burden.
One point in favour of the Python-first way is that you can prototype and test much quicker in Python than in languages that are closer to the metal.

Interestingly I've found something quite opposite for computational algorithms. The problem was that execution of Python under debugger was unbearably slow for me (I used VS Code for this case). So waiting until the code gets to the point I need was not fun. With C however it would get there almost instantly. Compile time for isolated computational function was nearly instant as well. Maybe debugging under VS code was the culprit but I did not feel that for this particular task Python was any more interactive than plain C.

Either you have a stable platform, and it reflects the state of the art form the year of its inception, or you have a platform that keeps on improving, but this means you need to change your code along with it, to keep up with the improvements.

You can't have it both ways,

OTOH current JVM can still correctly run bytecode compiled by Java 1.0.1 (or maybe even earlier), so the backwards compatibility is indeed excellent.

Jokes aside - it's still useful when you're writing legal or other documents where certain phrases or sentences must be emphasised by placing them in all caps. A hold-out from the typewriter era when bold and italics were generally not available.

I also use it occasionally for writing assembly language, where it's conventional to write the opcode mnemonics in upper case. It also helps when doing reports on the kind of spreadsheet that uses upper case keywords as a kind of primary key, because you need to interact with people who think a relational database is something to do with geneaology.
Porsche Taycan Turbo S vs. Tesla Model S: Drag Race, Full Review and VMAX
Not an easter egg as such, but I came across a BASIC program for the TRS-80 in the early 80's where the programmer had worked out that program lines of various lengths would produce interference of different frequencies when a radio was placed next to it.

Using lines which included long REM statements, and various loops, it would play the William Tell Overture.

For background, the Model 1 TRS-80 had virtually no RF shielding and would interfere with many audio devices next to it, so a radio tuned "off station" was ideal.

Rain? I'd be more worried about snow. Looking at climate data just on Wikipedia, the Netherlands gets about the same number of 'snowy' days as Denver and it gets more total precipitation. It's winter average temperatures are also a tad lower which really makes me wonder what they do when there is snow & ice on the streets. I'd certainly wouldn't want to be riding my bike in Denver today (the front range got >1ft of snow over the past few days).
