This[0] (2-part blog entry) is a good write-up of what's going on, by a svelte contributor.

Also, as suggested by the author, taking the tutorial[1] is useful (and the repl generally) to see what's going on. In the repl, look at the "JS output" tab. Play around with it to see what the compiler outputs.

I use instapaper to store any articles I want to read later and I periodically open it up on my iPad to read things I've saved.

I have evernote notebooks for storing research notes plus occasional phone pics of book pages when I'm reading things on paper. Sometimes I even remember what on the two-page spread it was that interested me when I go back over those pictures.
Speaking as someone who used to make a living by publishing (though not in mathematics): the problem with this is that even though you may have recused yourself, everyone who is still in the room knows that you will be passing judgement on their papers at some point in the future. So recusal does not entirely remove the potential for conflict of interest.
It happens all the time with commercial leases.

>You could be using an Apple device and choosing Apple as your app curator. Lack of choice is not a feature.

Some people want to make as few choices as possible. That’s me. I don’t want to look at two or more app stores to find what I want. The lack of choice, for me, is a feature.

I understand that I’m a special type of narrow minded on this point. And I’m glad Android exists — I have a few Android devices myself, for hobbies and such - they’re just not what I would use for my daily driver.

Yeah, that's a much better way of putting it.
New IP makes me think of New Speak from Orwell's 1984.
I was involved (at arms length) in one part of GDS a few years ago and it sounded like some department heads really didn't like the GDS approach.

Departments actually prefered spending ££££££ with HP / Capita / CapGemi etc. because the big outsourcing companies didn't ask as many 'awkward' questions (about accessibility, for example), and the departments got to 'own' the product more.
So is our cultural aversion to multifamily households.

I'm in my mid 20's living on the West coast, and have seriously considered getting a 2bed condo or small house and asking my parents to move in with me. I'm white and my parents are from the US as well, so it's not something that's culturally expected of me at all - it just seems like a good idea for socialization, getting help around the house, maintaining relationships. But when I've broached the topic with friends and even my own parents they think I'm absolutely crazy. I could see it being harmful for dating solely because of the cultural expectations, but I really don't see what the problem would be.

Suburbia is also so harmful to the elderly. I saw it happen to my grandparents where they usually only socialized with each other indefinitely unless someone came to visit with them. They couldn't drive, so they had to have someone get groceries for them or take them shopping every week. They had no need to walk around or climb stairs on a regular basis, so entire parts of their own home were completely off limits to them, and I think it contributed to them losing the ability to do so. Of course they didn't want to leave their house, but living in suburbia also made it much harder for family members to take care of them, because everything was out of the way. Thinking about it still makes me sick - it seems so stupid to me that this is the life we decided to invest in across most of the country.
Surely the OP meant 20 was super cheap for the value. A nickel a day...

How can you say this? Every CSA I've seen does not tell you how much you'll get or what kinds you'll get on a weekly basis, it depends on the grow season. What numbers are you comparing?
I doubt most kitchens have a hood at all. I’ve seen a whole lot more of those fans that just spit the air right back into the room, through ineffective filters that no-one ever cleans or replaces, than real hoods. Those don’t seem to become common until you’re also looking at houses with those oversized commercial-alike ranges.
I’m sorry, but your facts are wrong. The inquiry was around the events leading up to David Kelly’s death, not the other way around .

And re: whether he was murdered - pretty much everyone who knew David Kelly, including his wife, called it a suicide because there was absolutely no evidence that his death was anything but a suicide.
Most people can pick up the hint that they don't want to talk about the cause of death for whatever reason and will respect that.
This paper mentions CRN++, a compiler that translates an imperative language into Chemical Reaction Networks. I had no idea this field existed. This stuff is mind bogglingly cool!

oh huh it’s really happening. I’ve been trying to work out the effects of this for a while - bitcoin will always be more profitable than curtailment, but supply and demand should push the cost of bitcoin down below most other uses of electricity... except in places where the generators are distant from other kinds of capital. But some of those bitcoins will probably go towards buying other kinds of equipment by the power company? (direct air capture to high value molecules, eventually, I hope.) If the cost of utility power gets inflated, more people will buy solar panels.... lowering demand? It’s complicated!
Same here. The use of the note files is for me to grep back at it after a while and I remember something useful but cannot quite recall.

Are you bemmu that runs candyjapan by the way? Love it. Used to get boxes from you. Was always fun to guess what would come next. I see lots of other places doing the same business model now, but I still think you're the best.
>As such grass fed cows are a complete non issue.

AFAIK factory farming does not use grass fed cows. I've heard the grass fed arguments, but I just don't see that happening any time soon at the current red meat consumption scale if ever.
Microsoft is moving to same security model as Android and iOS where individual applications request (and can be denied) permissions to do things. One example is triggering desktop notifications. If you get a notification you can see exactly which application sent it and then prevent that application from ever sending you another one.

What you get with JRE and Python in the Win9x days is that the executable is "java.exe" or "python.exe" which isn't helpful when the actual application is what is being run by these programs. Granting a permission to python.exe is not what you intend when you're wanting a notification from helloworld.py.
He's not saying that zombie epidemics as a topic are over, just that his take on it has been rendered obsolete by current events. It's sort of like a short short (either written by or edited by Isaac Asimov, I don't remember—I read it forty years ago) that proposed that Everest would never be summited because it had been colonized by Martians. Between acceptance and publication, Everest was summited.
"One of the many silly rejections we had was due to the images on our influencers profiles being too sexy despite being linked through the Instagram API."

So outside Apples wall garden or the great firewall of Apple as you could liken it. I can understand that aspect as it would allow somebody to change the pic on Instagram and that would then come across upon their platform so the potential for something lewd and some media outlet would have the headline "Apple has dildo's showing on an their site accessible to children". So proactive PR management in some way but certainly a scenario that could play out and can appreciate that aspect. Equally, as a developer using public API's, I can totally appreciete the perspective that Instagrams T&C's wouldn't allow anything bad in this instances, and feel that censoring was already done and having to censor an API content when if that was needed then Instagram would alreay have that in place would make any dev grown in angst.

However, does appear that a censoring API setup for some public API's is a market that could be tapped. So whilst it may of seen bad on the face of it, it shows an opportunity awaiting to be tapped and with that - how did that all pan out (how did you solve that issue)?
What's the best laptop of the past several years for development?
I was a long-time Macbook user, but switched to ThinkPads/Linux several years ago. But:

I want a laptop that has:

* The ThinkPad's keyboard, durability, upgradability and repairability, and

* The Macbook's screen, touchpad, available software and battery life

I don't mind buying used. I'm also a huge fan of open source/libre software, and support Linux for this reason, but I sometimes struggle with the amount of config time I spend and the often better availability of apps on Mac.

I guess this is a question about laptops and OSes.
Whack-a-mole: the long run virus
Interview: Larry Brilliant – How society can overcome Covid-19 – Open Future
Another similar instance just popped into my brain—in college a friend wrote a piece for the college paper in which, writing about political changes in Eastern Europe, he wrote, "but don't expect the Berlin Wall to come down any time soon."

As you might have guessed, the Berlin Wall came down between the writing and the publication.
He states in the article that the themes he wanted to explore in this novel aren’t worth exploring now that COVID-19 is making us deal with them right now. I wouldn’t say this is a “all zombie literature is over” post as much as a “my zombie literature project is over” post.

Not even all that - it's that he hasn't addressed the issues in his paper.
No, this is not sarcasm, and genuinely ordinary among skilled immigrants. There are just too many examples around me to count, and if they’re not there yet, they are on the same path. That’s the point: you don’t need to be filthy rich to be a home-owner in the U.S, just relatively well-off

Interesting, most examples of toxic masculinity I see are related to machismo when it hurts men and those around them. Wikipedia [1] seems to consider masculinity toxic once it is considered “harm”. I’m curious if you have sources about it being related to lonely individualism.

Apple charges 30% from newspapers and magazines - an industry that is struggling to make any money.
But not Facebook which makes way more money than all the newspapers in the world taken together.
Yes Apple built the platform but by charging a 30% margin it is fleecing it’s customers who already paid through their noses for the devices and/or skimming the entire profit of some developers.
It doesn’t even seem like a good business practice from a corporation that makes most of its money through other seemingly legit means.
Bottom line, all the virtue signaling aside, Apple is very much a capitalist concern with the morality of a cute crocodile. What’s a monopoly without a little price gouging, eh??

Replying to myself with a correction as it’s too late to edit: the office I was thinking of was aedile. Quaestor was broadly more like treasurer, or maybe comptroller.
I was going to edit but I think a new comment here is more fair:

The other comments about commercial vs. residential TP are good, too. Turns out our economy is complex. Think of how even this discussion about TP reveals a large scale bifurcation of how a singular, simple product is produced and supplied. Once you bring in the rest of the upstream and downstream supply chains... it's incomprehensibly complex.

This gets to something I'm concerned about which is the readiness of policymakers to designate this business "non-essential" and so should shut down, and that business "essential" and should remain in operation. How much does the essential economy depend on the non-essential economy? I mentioned logistics, I bet trucks carrying TP (of either class) also depend on other, less essential products... how many of these trucks were marginal in the good times and will end up closing up shop reducing overall readily available container space? Some of my clients are companies that make use of industrial CNC machines; and I've seen some of the same machines in use in very different businesses. For example, one client made higher end bicycle parts and the other made lab equipment for bio-tech applications. One is likely considered essential, the other not: the company that makes the CNC machines will still get business from the "essential" business while they won't from the non-essential business. How will that CNC machine company deal with the reduced economies of scale or their own suppliers that are perhaps less clearly essential failing to supply them? How will that impact the bio-tech lab equipment company?

I've also posted this before... but it's applicable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XetplHcM7aQ

git bisect is the command everyone should learn. With a single command (such as a test you just wrote) you can have git do a binary search across any number of commits and find exactly when the bug occurred.
> Every time an on-disk database page (4KB) needs to be modified by a write operation, even just a single byte, a copy of the entire page, edited with the requested changes, is written to the write-ahead log (WAL). Physical streaming replication leverages this existing WAL infrastructure as a log of changes it streams to replicas.

First, the PostgreSQL page size is 8KB and has been that since the beginning.

The remaining part. According to PostgreSQL documentation[1] (on full page writes which decides if those are made), a copy of the entire page is only written fully to the WAL after the first modification of that page since the last checkpoint. Subsequent modifications will not result in full page writes to the WAL. So if you update a counter 3 times in sequence you won't get 3*8KB written to the WAL, instead you would get a single page dump and the remaining two would only log the row-level change which is much smaller[2]. This is further reduced by WAL compression[3] (reducing the segment usage) and by increasing the checkpointing interval which would reduce the amount of copies happening[4].

This irked me because it sounded like whatever you touch produces an 8KB copy of data and it seems to not be the case.

You can just directly buy grass fed cows from farmers. It’s not what you’re going to eat at a fast food joint, but avoiding fast food etc is different than going vegetarian.

My personal red meat consumption works just fine at scale, so that’s not an issue. Just compare efficiency of grass fed vs factory farms and lower your consumption to compensate. That said my consumption is well below average as I haven’t eaten meat this week which is fairly common.

> How many people can find success in life in the absence of money, such as with mathematical glory on the secret of the primes?

Yes, a certain measure of wealth is required to find happiness. Without basic needs being met, it is hard to find much more than misery.

Of course, most people want more money than they have, but different cultures place a higher emphasis on the acquisition of money than others. And studies have shown that beyond a certain point, additional money adds very little incremental happiness.

On the other hand, living in a culture that places high worth on money has significant side effects, such as people who have sufficient means spending much of their time, energy and worry on things that really don’t give them the happiness they are looking for, to the detriment of things that do (relationships, hobbies, etc.).
One example that is burning in my mind the past week: VNC Viewer iOS 3.9.0. A VNC client is so trivial to make, there is no good reason that the app store shouldn’t be flooded with free, or at least low cost, good solutions. When I look, all I see is VNC Viewer, bad choices, and expensive choices. Real VNC decided to make VNC Viewer iOS require the user to watch an ad prior to connecting to a non-Real VNC server. How did we get here? Because Apple assumed the big players will behave better. But they won’t. We don’t expect them to because they have weight to throw around. Apple’s strategy is not trying to maximize the user experience. It’s not even trying to keep the user experience acceptable.

I am not aware of this widespread assumption? Who the heck in the last 2 decades has gone through life thinking Apple is a company that prioritizes its developers over both its users and itself?

Source: literally every word written about Apple and developer relations and developer strategies over the last 20 years.

I'm not saying this to be critical of Apple, everyone has their own strategies and priorities. Rather, my mind is actually blown that you know anyone who thinks Apple is perceived as some sort of generous patron to developers, and even more that you know enough people like that to anecdotally think it's a widespread assumption.
It’s not just those. I worked for a B2B company before where we had contracts with major hospitals. You could download our app “for free” but you had to have an existing deal with our company.

I mostly use QOwnNotes (https://QOwnNotes.org) for Markdown-based note taking, synced to my private Nexzcloud instance. If it ever goes away, I'll still have the plain markdown files plus metadata in a SQLite database.

For bookmarks and long-reads I've mostly made the transition from Pocket to Zotero (https://www.zotero.org), originally intended for literature management. One feature I wish it had is support for more complex semantic relationships between items to be able to create a more comprehensive knowledge graph (e.g., A cites B, X is related work to Y, a URL is the implementation of an abstract algorithm in a research paper). Anybody know of a suitable plugin maybe?

First we pretend to care about global warming and make bold promises about how in some distant future we'll cut emissions to a more reasonable level. Everybody understands that the emissions come from the growing economy and that the only real solution is to slow down the economy.

So the virus slows down the economy for us. Exactly what we wanted, right? Emissions are down, folks in India can even see Himalayan mountains. Everybody should celebrate this, but no, our only concern is how to restart the economy and get to the new heights of pollution asap.

Cool! I like the doubling-time datapoint, haven't seen that before. Btw, I think your column sort only sorts a subset of the data.
1. I think the issue is that "unethically" is a very subjective standard. The hypocrisy does not invalidate the argument, it merely brings into question whether this is an "accurate" moral judgement if it is not serious enough to warrant a (relatively easy) change in behavior from the person espousing it. In other words: morality is very inherently subjective, so hypocrisy does matter. It's not about convincing me that something is happening (like sweatshops). Facts are easy. The problem is convincing me that the thing that is happening is bad. And you're not going to do that if you can't put your money where your mouth is. If you're a hypocrite about issues of morality, you're either preaching to the choir, or you're not going to convince anyone.

2. If I truly believed Apple and every other smartphone manufacturer was causing human suffering to produce their smartphones, my own morality would dictate that my "need" for a smartphone still does not justify the purchase of one. It's a null point to me though, because A. I don't actually believe that Apple's manufacturing practices are "wrong", and B. I know plenty of successful people that get by without smartphones in the current era.
