The real question is how could anyone not know the US and Iran have been at each other's throats for over a decade and that things were always a hairs breadth from exploding into outright warfare?
It’s always funny how the Franks are seens as “us”, when looking throught history France has been washed by waves of invasions that all left deep cultural mixes.

Going to Normandy nowadays and looking at general public exposition it’s make pretty clear their ancestry is mostly from the Vikings and Nords.

In the east it’s also clear that their frenchness is a fluctuating and partial attribute.

All around the country, each region have a very clear multi-cultural past. And Paris and its periphery is a huge Petri dish of people coming from around the world with a significant number of families that have no ancestors that were in France more than four or five generation ago.

Books still present Franks as french people’s ancestors, but I wonder how teacher make it match with the reality when they teach their students.

It’s a question of scale. Methane is useful fuel, so leaks are an exception rather than the most common result. Spilled gasoline when fueling your car also results in atmospheric CO2, but you produce vastly more CO2 from what ends up in your tank.
I am certain it's been suggested. But I can't see Google's motives I can only see its actions. If you do good things whatever the reasons the good things stay done while the reasons die with you.

A few minutes walk from me some people opened a gelato place. You go there, you buy some gelato. Nice. Warm summer evening, drop in, buy a cone, delicious. I am 100% certain that by selling me frozen desert they get money! Their plan may not specifically have focused on me enjoying this at all. And yet, since the effect is that I can enjoy desert that's exactly what I do, and I don't begrudge them their money.
The siege works.
I'm already living in that universe, but with even more composability.
In 2040 methane emitted today will still be 86x more potent than co2. Co2 emissions from natural gas are 50% that of coal. So todays natural gas with a 1% leakage rate will still have 135% of the warming impact of coal in 2040.

By 2120 the methane emitted today will be 34x as potent as co2. So todays natural gas with a 1% leak rate will have 84% of the impact on warming that you would get from coal.

So if you can keep leakage to 1% (it hasn't been that low and efforts to regulate it to those levels have been attacked by republicans.) Then by sometime around 2100 it should be coming down to the same impact as coal.

This bridge fuel/front loading of the warming strategy would have been great in 1970 and 1980. Today it really doesn't make any sense.
> That's not really how conquest works though. At least some of those original Celts reproduced with the Romans, and thus some genetic heritage continued.

That's not really how nations or ethnic groups work, though. The fact that some "genetic heritage" from the Celts may be found today doesn't actually mean that Celtic culture has anything to do with the modern nation-state of France.

The only perspective this gives is perspective into your personal worldview. Why wouldn't you use % of total spending or frame it relative to national gdp if you were trying to make a meaningful comparison between the two countries?
There is nothing which stops you converting from coal to natural gas. Plenty of coal plants have it or are in the process. Coal power plants pulverise coal until it is so small that it can be picked up in hot air and blown into the furnace. The already usually use oil or gas to initially warm the furnace.
Isn't physics in the same situation? The theory is useful for countless applications but is ultimately flawed, and researchers are aware of that, of course. But we don't hear it every time there is a new application of physics. Why should the ultimate high standard be invoked so often in discussion only for ML? Other fields like psychology or economics are probably in an even worse position with their theories vs the reality.

ML is an empirical science, or a craft if you want, with useful applications. It's not the ultimate theory of intelligence.

I’m not 100% on the details (everytime there’s a legal win, there’s a dozen lobby groups fighting against it), BUT in Canada it’s likely legal to “format shift” discs that you own by using the internet to download unencrypted copies of them.

You’re not breaking encryption thus are safe from that can of worms, and assuming you’re not uploading (distributing is definitely a crime, even a single chunk of a torrent) and it’s for personal use I believe that the law is on your side.
Pretty much my thoughts too. Conversation starter at best, listicle at worst. Worked on us though!
The Masters of Rome novels by Colleen McCullough are historically accurate, incredibly dramatic, gripping and realistic. They tell the story of Rome from the birth of Caesar in the Republic to the ascension of his successor Augustus in the Empire.

>If you're not involved in adversarial contract authoring, I don't get the appeal of the "what about this edge case" game.

My mind often goes to the boundary cases because that is where the real differences occur at.

For social issues in general, I've seen enough cases of people stretching definitions and using selective definitions that are enough against the norm that the end statement made is purposefully misleading. You might say it is adversarial advertisement authoring.
A surveillance state wouldn't be such a burden if the rights we had actually could be enforced on the spot the moment they were infringed by a police force.

The fact that you can be imprisoned (borderline indefinitely it seems at times) as well has basically need a lawyer even though your issue is straight up black and white really shows the failures of a police state. Whats the point in having rights in a surveillance state? The government will just make stuff up against you anyway.

Are there online e-sports tournaments of any meaningful size? (E.g. $1000+ prizes) The only tournaments I've seen amount to essentially LAN parties where all the equipment and installations are provided by the tournament, such that players all compete on fair terms and unable to cheat (unless the opsec at the tournament is terrible, I guess.)

It bugs me that so much more public and media ire is directed toward tech companies than defense contractors when the latter industry is of comparable size, way more opaque, and dominated by very very old companies [1] with excellent lobbying.

I understand that people have far less personal interaction with defense contractors. But hey, it’s your tax dollars.

Not sure what you mean by this. This is the name in Thai and "ผัดไทย" ([pʰàt tʰāj] in IPA) is what is written on shops and carts where it's sold.

The vowel in "pad" is in between the two options given in the question above. Unlike English, where accents primarily change the vowels, vowels stay quite constant across accents in Thai.

Indeed, Politico used a survey company that claims they apply "rigorous scientific methodology, trusted by leading organizations across business, policy, media, and tech."

But I find it very difficult to believe that someone identifying Iran by pointing into the ocean, Greenland, or the USA is taking the survey seriously. I mean, American education is certainly horrible, but come on!

In France and Belgium, which are West of Germany, there are plenty of nuclear reactors. This is in a region with prevailing west winds.

If Germany would want to minimize the risk of radioactive pollution, it would have to build plenty nuclear reactors at its eastern border and sell that energy to France below market value.

Then, as long as France doesn't cut Germany off, the French nuclear reactors would be shut down and the risk of nuclear pollution for Germany would be reduced.
> This is really serious stuff.

Yes, we're in agreement on that. And "celebrating" gas is a million miles away from my perspective. Every reduction in CO2 emissions today saves lives not just today but a century from now.

Suppose we could instantaneously replace coal with natural gas, today. And we also have a choice of replacing all coal with low-carbon sources, but at some point in N years in the future. How long does it take to break even? 2N years in the future. So even assuming we could fully decarbonize the world economy in 25 years, it'd be a half century before we even get to the break even point in terms of accummulated emissions.

And that doesn't even account for a significant part of the carbon emissions from the first 25 years being absorbed by various processes, or the ability to simultaneously push for low carbon and natural gas energy. Even if natural gas pushes the timeline for full decarbonization from 25 to 35 years out, it's still a clear win.

That scenario I acknowledge is bleak, but bleak is better than... really fucking bleak, which is what we're headed for with coal.
The JMT in Cali may be the quintessential trail in the high Sierra but I could name a number of equally magnificent hikes throughout the state including the north coast, Death Valley, Channel Islands, Joshua Tree, as well as other Sierra hikes that, while not as long or famous, will also take your breath away (figuratively and literally). But then, I suppose those in other states have their own list of hikes as well. That's what makes articles like this one so subjective.
Reminder: the Franks were Germanic invaders who kicked the Romano-Gaulish in the teeth. This is like Englishmen mourning King Arthur and his Romano-British followers, ignoring that their ancestors were probably more the Hengests and Horsas of the story.

> Compiler courses do spend way too much time on parsing, but there is real value in learning it. An LR(k) or LL(k) grammar is guaranteed to be unambiguous, so knowing how to construct one is the best way to design a language, even if parser generators are rarely used to actually build parsers.

So? Run your recursive descent parser, if it works, it works. There might be edge cases: when you come across them fix them. Perl has demonstrated that a language doesn't even have to be decideable to be successful. This is a useful tool for getting advanced computer science degrees, not so much a useful tool for writing compilers.

> Furthermore, the industry standard to describe the syntax of a programming language is some form of BNF grammar, with semantics usually given by prose explanations of the operational semantics for every production in the grammar.

Moreover, this documentation isn't even necessary for a lot of compilers. If you don't have a working compiler, nobody cares if you have a BNF. If you don't plan to submit your language to a standardization body who isn't going to accept it for at least a decade anyway, you probably don't need a BNF.

Have you ever actually learned the syntax of a language by looking at a BNF? Or have you learned from examples, like almost[1] every[2] tutorial[3] in[4] existence[5]?

And what's more, I learned BNF well enough to describe a grammar to anyone who needs to know it in about 30 minutes of class time in college. So even if you somehow get to the point where you're submitting your language to ANSI for standardization, you can go back and learn BNF then.

> Most university curricula put assembly programming at a sophomore-level course (generally as part of an intro to computer architecture course), while compilers are a senior-level course. As a result, most compiler courses will assume a background knowledge of assembly.

I took those classes. At my college it was two semesters. We learned a very small subset of MIPS that would be insufficient even to write a compiler targeting MIPS, let alone a compiler targeting x86. Books like The Art Of Assembly Language give you enough x86 assembler, but there's still a gap between understanding x86 and generating x86. And you'll have to understand C semantics to talk to the rest of the world in code, which means you get to dig into the C standard and also into some implementations of that standard.

I'm a huge proponent of trying to build solar microgrids in as many places as possible; a system where every small municipality has its own local solar microgrid with battery storage, each self-sufficient but patched into a much larger grid that can help balance load and smooth over local failures in eachother's microgrids would be a way to allow the highest level of energy independence possible and avoids the pitfalls of centralization while still getting the benefits of a large-scale grid. It could be an incredibly resilient and sustainable system if well implemented. The only barrier to it as it stands is the cost to install all these solar panels and batteries.
I absolutely hate this narrative of the demise of nuclear energy largely being politically motivated because nuclear energy is not just falling in Germany, it's diminishing virtually across the entire world (with very few exceptions).

It's true that Germany has a historical anti-nuclear and green sentiment but other countries are no different. Nuclear energy may be clean, but it is also exceedingly expensive and unable to compete in price in most countries including the US.[1] Even China, the large last country to buckle the trend as of late seems to have reduced the role of its nuclear energy policy and seems to be missing targets [2].

I don't know a single airplane that does that and I've flown quite a few types.

It's normal to have error detection and the way to show it is to cross out (red lines, black background) the failed information on the screen. Not blank the whole thing.

The units are fairly independent in a modern system, communicating via data buses. So this sounds like a case where the bug made a unit emit something really bad on that bus to make them all go blank.

Thanks but actually I was pondering whether meditating on the morning would allow me to go on to do exercise, not whether I could manage the meditation bit.

I think you might have taken that video a little too literally. I'm not a meditation expert by any means, and I acknowledge that you shouldn't stress about other thoughts entering your mind, but you should then allow those thoughts to pass rather than lingering on them. Imagine the thought is "a lorry has just pulled out in front of me"! Driving and meditation are surely incompatible.

I gave up on TV news before I was even out of high school because I was fed up with the "milling" of incessantly covering to death a few topics with endless speculation and often dropping them before they resolved. That and youth as villain moral panics which were trivially bullshit like rainbow parties (even the coolest of kids claiming to have gotten blown by seven girls with different color lipsticks would get cries of bullshit by those who actually believe that someon has a "girlfriend in Canada", and "pharm parties" which consisted of filling mixing bowls with random cabinets full of pills.

Even the dumbasses who stick paper clips in electrical outlets because they think it would be funny or looking to get high wouldn't do that because it not only is obviously dangerous but not likely to get high. Smoking random literal area weeds would be more fun and less stupid.
