Cool idea! "Unfortunately", I have grown too accustomed to Notion's usability feautures (e.g. markdown, slash commands, organizing in databases) to switch apps again.

I think it would be cool to visualize notes of other apps (Notion, Evernote, ...) with maps via APIs. Maybe even automated somehow.

Depends on the language. I do agree that lossy coercions are a Bad Idea; a [mis]feature added with the best of intentions and inadequate forethought (e.g. AppleScript, JavaScript, PHP).

OTOH, a good [weak] untyped language should accept a float where an int is expected as long as it has no fractional part (otherwise it should throw a runtime type error, not implicitly round). Depending on how weak the language is, it could also accept a string value, as long as it can be reliably parsed into an int (this assumes a canonical representation, e.g. "1.0"; obviously localized representations demand explicit parsing, e.g. "12,000,000.00").

A good rule of thumb, IMO, is: “If a value looks right, it generally† is.” This is particularly true in end-user languages where conceptual overheads need kept to a bare minimum. (Non-programmers have enough trouble with the “value” vs “variable” distinction without piling it with type concepts too.)

--

† Ideally this qualifier wouldn’t be needed, but there may be awkward corner cases where a simpler data type can be promoted to a more complex one without affecting its literal representation. That raises the problem of how to treat the latter when passed to an API that expects the former: throw a type error or break the “no lossy conversion” rule? There’s no easy answer to this. (Personally, I treat it as a type error, taking care in the error message to state the value’s expected vs actual type in addition to displaying the value itself.)
An unexpected booster failure mode would be well worth investigating.

Nothing I've seen or heard yet suggests that the test experience was outside expectations.

The plan was an explosion due to free-fall and atmospheric forces. The plan was not for an explosion due to a controlled detonation. I hope you are able to delineate between the two and not do a cursory reading of my comment again.

OpenGL is deprecated on macOS and iOS, because Apple has changed to use Metal:
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/19368

That's why Godot is moving to Vulkan, that can also run on Metal:
https://godotengine.org/article/retrospective-and-future

For Godot game developers, this will not be visible in any way, it's under the hood change to engine.

For other apps, there is in progress development to run full OpenGL on top of Vulkan with Zink. There is a blogpost about it here:
https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2018/10/31/intr...

There is also a talk about it at The X.Org Developer's Conference 2019-10-02 here, for example Blender seems to work already:

Yes she did.

Unsure about the 3DO port, probably not. I am juggling pet projects right now. If I ever look at an other version I would go first for the GBA since the author sent me the source code and it will be easier to look at.

Maybe someone else will do the 3DO analysis? With an emulator it is not hard to look at how it works.
Good machine-readable ("semantic") information will only be provided if incentives aren't misaligned against it, as they are on much of the commercial (as opposed to academic, hobbyist, etc.) Web. Given misaligned incentives, these features will be subverted and abused, as we saw back in the 1990s with <meta description="etc."> tags and the like.
Rotating proxy to circumvent rate limits is a dangerous business model. I'd expect to get sued at some point.
In case you haven't already, I think you should take a look at SGML ([1], my site) which standardizes these and all other tag omission/inference rules used by HTML, and also attribute minimization. The hard-coded tag soup parser is by no means "standard".

Windows 10 vs. Mac, what is better to avoid telemetry privacy issues?
So, I have currently a PC I built and have windows 10 Education edition. When installing, windows “tricked me” into not getting an offline account by not offering it.

After noticing this, I basically wiped my SSD and reinstalled windows 10 with the internet unplugged. This allowed me to get an offline account. However, I never entered my product key and windows basically automatically linked my previous key to my computer. This means somehow windows has linked my hardware to my Microsoft account and having an offline account is pretty much voided from a privacy perspective.

At this point, the whole thing is creepy and I don’t know how I can trust windows anymore. Even if I can turn down telemetry to “security - 0”.

I am just not sure how I can truly be convinced my name and online account can’t be linked to any telemetry it gets or what telemetry it is pulling.

So, now, I’m considering moving over to Mac and getting a MacBook Pro. I hate this idea because when you build your own pc, you have freedom to upgrade stuff and do whatever you want without fear of voiding some warranty. But I hate telemetry more and it has pushed me over the edge to give up that for more privacy.

So, my question is, does Mac provide more privacy from telemetry than windows 10 education edition (the way I have installed it)?

I have read that you can both opt out of macs telemetry completely AND even if you are opted in, it is “anonymous” telemetry data. Meaning, while apple pulls it if you leave it on, it is not linked to you AND Apple takes extra steps to make sure it doesn’t get linked to any Apple account or user. Is all this true?

Basically, I am just asking someone with knowledge on this to help me make the correct decision.
It amazes me how this forum handles praise for determination, passion, and perseverance.

We shouldn’t discount luck, but you can respect the traits above without the derogatory terms (“fan boi”).
I think you may have a fundamental misunderstanding of how equity works if you are suggesting it should be illegal for companies to issue new shares without unanimous shareholder consent.

Dilution is a natural and expected function of a company as it grows. How else would you possibly hire new employees and give them equity without inherently diluting existing shareholders.

Requiring unanimous shareholder consent to hire a key employee is not only absurd, it would practically doom the company to failure.

It’s crucial to understand that companies are governed by their Articles of Incorporation. Some of these articles will specifically define voting thresholds for authorizing and issuing new shares. Every shareholder is legally agreeing to theses Articles of Incorporation when they acquire their shares.

Similarly to your point about Preferred Stock. This is a legal agreement entered into which is entirely appropriate and in fact essential to the fund-raising process. If it’s illegal to give investors Preferred Shares in return for their cold hard cash, all that will do is dramatically reduce the valuations which companies can raise money at, which will in fact dramatically increase common stock dilution.

I wouldn’t go that far. I would say that we need to have a progressive immigration policy. Not politically progressive - mathematically to try to keep the working age/retired population ratio in sync.

Immigration should be about bringing people in to fill in a true gap between demand and supply of workers. Having people rush to America thinking it’s the land of milk and honey whether are not you bring required skills wouldn’t do us or them any good.

Upgrades between CentOS are not officially supported. Upgrades from RHEL 6 -> 7 and 7 -> 8 are supported, but only for an extremely small subset of packages and systems setups. It’s not really worth it. PXE boot with custom kickstart and post config (e.g. Ansible) runs are a much better solution than the in place upgrades.
I love the idea. My concern is that it's _so_ specialized that when the developers eventually stop working on it, or paying for the servers, I'm going to be screwed.

I feel that apps like this can be incredibly useful but ultimately, if they work for you, you'll spend years shoving data into them only to have it lost the moment the site shuts down, or in the case of desktop apps, the app stops working with the latest OS upgrade.

If it was open source and I could host it myself I'd _seriously_ consider using it.

The bands of laser diodes are not necessarily sharp, so there can be a significant difference between the injection voltage and the photon energy. The paper mentions that their particular doping method produces a step-less valence band profile.

Furthermore, they need a fairly large current (0.4 A) to get this thing to lase. The "knee" in the U-I curve is at around 9 V and 0.05 A, so there seems to be a fair bit of voltage drop due to internal resistance of the device. This is probably also why they have to pulse the laser with a 0.01 % duty cycle in order not to produce too much heat.
Sadly anti-polish racism has never really gone out of style.
I love access, and pushed it at many jobs that I have been at. Many times you have small teams who just are not worth the investment of enterprise systems while they are still growing that part of the business. Access allowed them to solution their needs while the requirements are still in flux. Once a department becomes big enough the access solution serves as a working prototype to generate requirements to build a proper system. It is a shame that Access has fallen out of favor and there really are no web tools that compare to how well it enabled users.
> unless you’re a proponent for open borders

I don't know about TulliusCicero, but I agree with their comment and I think open borders would probably be good. The US's historically high levels of immigration have been very positive for the country and I think we could let more people in.

> My idea of America is a lot of untamed wilderness, clean air, national parks, peace and quiet

The US is enormous, and people who want to move here are primarily interested in living in the major cities. If we allow building dense cities we can easily continue to have very large fractions of the country set aside as wilderness.

> If we could have fewer, better educated people and less wealth disparity this could be an even better place to live.

You're only considering the interests of the people who already live here. Keeping people out doesn't make fewer people, just fewer people here, just like it doesn't decrease wealth disparity only wealth disparity here. Lots of people around the world would love to come here and have the same opportunities we have. I think we should generally let them.

The first two references you cite are attacks against a password hash. Blake3 is not a password hash, it is a general-purpose hash.

The third reference is not an attack on the hash function timing, it is an attack against hash table timing, which is not at all the same thing. From the abstract:

"Our attack does not rely on any weakness of a particular hash function and can work against any hash."

Once again: Blake3 is a general-purpose hash, not a password hash. General-purpose hashes cannot be constant-time because they must operate on inputs of arbitrary length.
The Manifold project [1] nicely illustrates the author's proposition regarding structural typing and static type systems. Using the Manifold library you can indeed create structural interfaces [2] in Java similar to those in TypeScript. Manifold also enables the use of structural interfaces with Maps, it's pretty amazing.

If the population drops, towns become abandoned and the post office closes down certain routes.

I'm curious why you quote this like it's a fact when it's an opinion. The understanding of type inference used as the basis for making the argument in that blog post is superficial. Type inference doesn't just allow you to leave off type information from variables. A good inference engine will infer the most generic type for variables (and functions!), it's a discovery that you can query the compiler for in order to do type driven development.

A full rebuttal of this blog post would take much longer, but suffice to say inference does the exact opposite of what they are claiming; it increases readability and usability.

Participating countries are allowed to check your identity documents at a Schengen border in order to confirm that you are entitled to cross it without any other steps. They're even allowed to record that you crossed, using the ID to track who you were (and Poland does), though they aren't allowed to record that on a passport or similar travel document.

Having confirmed you're an EU citizen who isn't subject to an arrest warrant you're entitled to cross the border and there are no other checks permitted. They aren't entitled to ask you to explain where you're going or why or anything like that.

There's a similar internal border not far from me at the local airport. There's a painted line and it has a nice sign which explains that they don't actually have any officials present at the border, but if you don't have documentation allowing you to cross or if you've arrived with products that are prohibited you can phone them, they'll send somebody over in a few hours to interrogate and if necessary arrest you. There's a phone provided, it looks pretty dusty. I guess it's possible that people decide not to call?
Based on the abstract, it is a pulsed system (in contrast to continuous wave LEDs) so I think there is a bias voltage of 14V.
Pretty much the only popular abstraction I’m aware of that most GPUs share (as far as complex graphics operations go) is shader programs. That’s a pretty complex abstraction compared to a framebuffer which is quite frankly good enough for most things.
Yep, but that's a post factum worry. It's not an inherent trait of being a dynamic language that automatically surfaces during its development. Ruby's creator(s) simply chose to do it like that and now, of course, it's too late to do any sort of revolutionary changes.

Hi btw! Just now noticed it's you. :) Was thinking to write you an e-mail very soon. Which one do you prefer?
It also seems exactly like what these ultra-conservatives would want: Keep LGBT people outside of Poland.
Yes, it's a hype based buzzword. Just like "cloud" could be found everywhere a few years ago by people trying to profit from said hype. And just like "cloud", usage will start to become somewhat more realistic eventually. But I doubt the industry will look exactly like it did before... just like many of us didn't switch back to local bare metal servers.

I totally understand mistrust. Less so if there are somewhat capable alpha products already available with huge economic incentives behind made by somewhat reputable companies. It might not happen in the current hype cycle, then it will be a future one. But I don't ever see self driving cars quietly being deployed. That's just a way to well known game changer hardly anyone will want to sit out.
When rockets, full of liquid oxygen and propellant, start to break apart in the atmosphere they pretty quickly look like a an explosion.

> The migration work is dealing with changes in the configuration language.

Yes, that's how all installations work for CoreOS Container Linux. The problem is the day when the autoupdate of the current distro stops (no more new images, and that's supposed to happen soonish, although no date has been communicated) your old configuration language will stop to work (unless you are happy enough not to used anything on the list of incompatibilities, which is pretty unlikely for non-trivial installations). And then you need to port and test.

In my experience coding the configuration takes at least 3 times as long as installing in a traditional way. That is a worthwile investment if you want to be sure what you have installed and want to be able to start identical machines later. But if the investment is broken by commercial/political decisions that's frustrating.

Well, I am not a paying customer, so I cannot really complain. I just have to decide whether I am happy with the flatcar fork or whether I port my configuration to Fedora CoreOS. At the moment they have no complete documentation AFAIK, So it's difficult to make a decision.
DUV for lithography is usually produced with excimer lasers at 248 or 193 nm. While they are technically lasers, they are barely coherent and have horrible beam quality.

For other applications such as sterilization or curing adhesives, mercury vapor lamps and LEDs are popular.
You wrote a very poorly structured, punctuation-less, run-on sentence in the GP comment.

You did so again here.

In both instances it is unclear what you're trying to convey.

Coupled with taking a neutral comment personally, the simplest conclusion to make is that you're not writing for the benefit of anyone else, besides yourself.

Language's primary function is to communicate information. Our minds are like compilers that translate human-readable language into simplified neural impulses. If you write code with poor syntax, the human mind will still compile it, but you're going to get a lot of unexpected behavior, i.e "what the fuck is this guy trying to convey?"
Thanks for that insight. It seems sad to be fearful of an entire country because of a few municipalities; especially when you say there are minorities represented in government.

All over Europe, there are a lot of people who have varying opinions about immigration, refugees, LGBT-rights, Brexit, climate change and other controversial subjects. Rejecting an entire nation as a conference location because some percentage of the population has gotten some press for their controversial opinion seems very reactionary.
There are static languages with REPLs, Haskell's GHC has a particularly good one.
I think the lower-end market is already well-served by free tools like Google Alerts and F5Bot. At least those work well for me.
At some point there must have been a mission design meeting for this test where they decided on fuel levels in the booster. Just as much as needed to get to max Q? Just like a real launch that would put the capsule into orbit and land the booster? Something in between that creates a nice fireball but not too wasteful?

(and on an entirely unrelated note, I really hate watching those parachutes bounce off each other. I know it must be perfectly safe or else it wouldn't have been the unquestioned method off choice for at least half a century, but it looks so uncontrolled it gives me nausea)

That's not a reasonable response.

Even if Gdansk is liberally run it sends a signal to legislators that policies effect revenue and gives them a reason to push back that avoids moral arguments. That being said, I think it cedes the moral argument to the opposition, but any fight like this has multiple fronts.

The reasoning is very different from what you wrote. Surely, you see the difference.
To be fair, that is the lisp spirit. They wanted to do something, imagined what that language would look like. And then implemented it in lisp. :)

I _think_ what you're getting at is that the flight termination system triggered (controlled explosion) but not when it should have (unplanned)?

As far as I understand it once the capsule ejected the Falcon 9 was destinated to break up (due to aerodynamic forces) and that break up would trigger the FTS automatically. So the AFTS triggering was part of the plan.

That said it also doesn't really matter - the test was about what happens to the capsule when something goes wrong and not what happens to the booster.
Not using the polymorphism available is not a problem inherent to statically-typed programming languages.
It raises the question if the explosion was trigged by the self-destruct sequence and not as mentioned on the livestream by disintegration due to free-fall and aerodynamic forces, did the explosion happen too close to the capsule so as it might have adverse effects on the capsule?
