Great idea about finding or even generating rhyming phrases! If you clearly define the parts of speech used for encoding (probably nouns), I don't think it would cancel out the benefit.
I don't believe Metabase supports the Calcite SQL dialect (https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/6230), which is what Crux is using for the SQL layer. So I believe the answer is no - but I'm not an expert here, so don't take this answer as definitive.
CarPlay's UI is far better than any manufacturer I've seen so far. Using the same UI/UX as your smart phone is way more intuitive - and it'll keep pace with OS updates. I wouldn't buy a car _without_ CarPlay at this point.

I'm well aware we're in a pandemic, and my family and friends are quarantining and going to great lengths in cleaning and wearing masks. I'm well aware that the US and particularly Trump is absolutely mucking up the response. I'm well aware that we're approaching the breaking point of the "Union" part of the United States, as the Federal government and Blue States fight over resources and jurisdiction.

I'm well aware there's a police brutality problem in the US, including brutality against protesters and the US sending Federal troops into cities.

I'm well aware that Biden is the Democrat nominee and there's nothing to be done about it, and that after however much hemming and hawing he's going to make Kamala Harris his VP, and there's not much to be done about that either. That there likely won't be Medicare For All, or a safety net for millions of unemployed people, or any other really popular and obvious change that needs to be needed.

I'm well aware that China, a world away, is trying to stamp out Uyghurs through apartheid and likely soon genocide.

Scrolling Facebook, Twitter, etc just reminds us of these terrible things that are constantly happening, that we have little control over day to day. And yes, we should volunteer, donate, protest, prepare to respond. But day to day, there's not much we can do to fix it. We're instead stressing ourselves to death over things we can't control, at least right now. Don't forget they're problems, help where you can, but don't spend your life hyperfixated on them.
Ah yes, just goes to show I ignore images in articles!
Mnemonics are vastly overrated and the tricks you see with people using them are mainly a result of constant practice which could be achieved by other means.

I've had a look and wasn't able to get it to work yet, imports can be bit iffy: usually anything that exposes ES modules or puts variables on the window object work fine.

It looks like the reason it doesn't work here is because it relies on "this" being the window object. To make top-level await possible your code gets wrapped into a function, and in there "this" no longer points to the window. I am sure a workaround is possible, I'll make a ticket on github.

I'm actually thinking about putting together a series of posts on the topic of "Full-stack ClojureScript for JavaScript developers". I've heard ClojureScript described (from a functional programming standpoint) as "JavaScript, but without the stupid parts", as it basically gives you the benefits of Ramda.js + Immutable.js without the headaches of making those libraries play nicely with native JavaScript. It also doesn't veer too far into the theoretical (monads, category theory, etc) so it would make for an easier transition when coming from JavaScript (you can even throw exceptions if you want).

I became a Clojure fan-boy over the course of the last year but one issue that seems to keep popping up when I discuss it with my JavaScript/Node.js co-workers is "Clojure runs on the JVM? Not interested".

Setting aside the technical validity of that opinion (JVM vs. Node.js), it made me wonder if there might be more interest in Clojure from the JavaScript world if they knew they could use ClojureScript for both the front-end and the back-end (on Node.js).
I want to stay informed about the world but I'm unable to read the highly editorialized doom scrollers. I'm tired of the news cheering for the hurricane and I'm tired of pointless feel good stories to bring "happy news" that isn't really news at all.

I've started to read more long-form essays on current events topics. I find they nicely summarize events in a chronological order with all of the benefit of hindsight to go with it. Opinions are generally more nuanced and the writing style assumes that you read all the way through the article.

TV news and late night talk shows are just the worst.
The EU can't use national security as an excuse because it's not a nation and doesn't have a state security apparatus of its own.

As I see it, Go could be a nice alternative to Java or C# for most problems, and Rust looks like a nice alternative to C++ for most problems.

One could go and compare Javascript to COBOL code solving some random problem, and perhaps even that can be helpful in some way, but the result of that comparison should not imply that one of these is, in general, better than other.

I guess Rust and Go are compared so frequently because they are both becoming very popular and people are tring to figure out which one of them is worth investing time to learn.

A lot of these comparisons remind me of java vs c++ discussions 2 decades ago.
Modern monitor design fault: static pattern flickering
I have now tested two modern monitors (Philips 276E8VJSB and Samsung U32H850UMU) that go crazy when they show the test image below:

http://engineerjs.com/pattern.png

Make sure to download this image and show it in 1:1 zoom (pixel correctly).

It must be some kind of compression or temporal dithering that only processes every other pixel and then changes parity with every frame.

This is what it looks like: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jaKwL4GnbXoUFpE58 (right hand side is GIMP showing the image linked above).

Please let me know if you have this problem too. I would like to know what monitor I should get for coding after I return this one.

GTA V graphics study (2015)
This was something i read recently in the history of Belgium.

Since the World War II, Belgian shared their Uranium supply with the US and the UK ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Congo_in_World_War_II#... ), done as part of repayment for allied support in the war.

So this little country was actually the main / sole supplier through Congo for the atom bomb / nuclear energy in the US.

Congo gained independence in 1960.
Here in South Africa, inspection happens when you buy a vehicle. After that, it's not inspected again unless you sell it to someone else who will have to take it to roadworthy inspection. The test is pretty good and covers everything from suspension to oil leaks. It does however not cover emissions, as far as I know.
Fog lights? Mine are mounted and shine low. I thought they all were so they don't bounce back into the driver's eyes when there is actually fog.
In Java, the file names directly reflect the package and class structure. If you have a class "org.example.long.package.name.SimpleInterfaceBeanFactoryFactory" with an inner class "Inner" that has an inner class "InnerInner" that has an anonymous inner class, the source code for it normally resides at "src/main/java/org/example/long/package/name/SimpleInterfaceBeanFactoryFactory.java", and the bytecode for that anonymous inner class, after being compiled through maven, resides at "target/classes/org/example/long/package/name/SimpleInterfaceBeanFactoryFactory$Inner$InnerInner$1.class". That's already over a hundred characters long, and it's not unusual to have even longer names; a quick look at a project I have around here shows bytecode files with path names approaching 170 characters starting from the maven root. Add to that around 30 characters for a "projects/project-group/project-name" hierarchy, plus 30 more for the path to the user directory, and it's already uncomfortably close to the Windows 260-character limit. It's not hard to imagine that a project with a deeper package hierarchy could hit that limit, and it only takes one file to break the whole build.
I guess it is just me, but I have never clicked on that pop-up. I always go to the extension tab and add extensions there, where the second link at the top, has a direct link to the licence of said extension. I always go to the extensions tab because it provides documentation about the extension, which I want to read before I add it to my IDE.
From what I can tell, the goal here is to create an abstraction for interfacing with the different tools from different EDA vendors. All these tools have their own arcane CLI arg names for essentially the same stuff, this is trying to abstract that and create a python way of describing all of that.

Where I work, we just use a bunch of Makefiles. We mostly just stick to a single vendor though.
In the first SVG animation, when we hover over the roll of toilet paper, the carton roll spins clockwise to show the strips of finished paper, yet a sad face appears from the top, as if the roll spun counterclockwise.

Do you have a link to the pattern matching proposal? IMO if you added pattern matching and made everything (blocks, if-else, switch statements, etc) expressions then JavaScript would be pretty decent for writing in a functional style.

I love learning new things, and sharing what I know with others. I'm looking for something that can challenge me to continue learning, as well as improve upon things I'm already familiar with.
The first time I really lost faith in the news was during the Oslo Peace Accord Talks, when CNN hosted a debate between a Palestinian and Israeli spokesperson. It seemed to me that it was quite a delicate political situation, and that simply reporting on it while leaving the top politicians to discuss would be better, but CNN really wanted a live TV debate about it. Well, it turned out that they'd specifically chosen polar opposites to discuss with one another. Now, since I've been working in media, I know the attendants weren't an accident. They are always carefully chosen. So if CNN really wanted to help the peace talks (they did after all speak highly of it), they would have invited other people, but I gather that would also have made for more "boring" TV. Obviously it was very "entertaining" to watch these two debaters have at each other, but it quickly turned so bad that the host had to intervene. During the debate I remember asking myself, "Is the CNN intentionally trying to disrupt the peace talks by inviting these two idiots to debate each other?" CNN's outreach is big and international, so this would be noticed both in Israel and Palestine. While possibly "entertaining" it did absolutely nothing to help the already bad situation. On the one side, you could perhaps claim that it's not in CNN's interest to "help" anyone (actually a certain level of conflict is what keeps most journalists fed), but in this instance they were clearly firing up people in the worst way, and thus disrupting important peace talks.
Better than a single US global influence? Maybe? Maybe not. US global influence hasn't been too great if you've been keeping tabs.
Yes; for now.

If you're in the public sector, or have customers in the EU or Australia, you might get sued or fined if your app isn't accessible.

Weirdly even in the US you might not be in the clear for internal tooling. My understanding is its illegal to refuse to hire a blind person because they're blind. If you hire someone who's blind and they can't do their job because your internal tools are written in Godot, you might be leaving yourself open to discrimination suits. Not a big deal when you're a startup, but it will matter at google / fb / etc. I'm sure google has blind employees today who care a great deal about being able to do their jobs.

That sounds like a legal minefield, with more mines added over time.

In short, if you aren't making a video game or a toy, it seems like good advice to use tools that work with accessibility.

Remove everything that is distracting you (block YouTube, delete TikTok, etc) to the extent that the only choices you have are sit there and be bored or code.

For most people their brain craves stimulation. When we introduce highly stimulating and rewarding activities like YouTube, video games, and social media our brains procrastinate the harder work like programming because an easier reward is achieved by watching YouTube (ie. Less energy is expended to produce the same dopamine response).

The cycle of YouTube, social media, and video games (or anything you're addicted to) can easily ruin your life because you get caught in a loop of not wanting to work (procrastination), so you watch YouTube. That creates a habit of watching YouTube and the brain optimizes itself for that. Every time you sit at the computer you have the urge to watch Youtube. Then you start to feel bad about not making progress on your work. You turn to YouTube to make yourself feel better because it's the most efficient way of producing a reward in the brain. After each video is over, you don't want to start work because you've already optimized for watching YouTube (ie. momentum). So, you tell yourself lies like "one more video", or "after the next one I'll start work", or "well it's already 4pm so the day is basically over anyways I can't start working now".

If you're really having trouble and want a solution, block all of the distracting things in your life and get back to the basics. You don't need a "dopamine detox" or anything complicated. Simply block things (using a browser extension or DNS blacklist) you don't want to be doing and let yourself either be bored or do the work.

Suddenly you will find it's easy to get started on work, and actually pretty enjoyable to be productive. Use that momentum, and keep off of distracting websites/apps.

Do it for 5 days and see how far you can get.
It was pseudocode.

If a function like this exists, it would just sleep until the given promises are resolved. I don't see how that is realted to the term "multiprocess".

Nope. Creating a tool perceived by those with enough lawyers to be a “copy protection circumvention device” however does run afoul of the DMCA.

Why do you want to get a mortgage that you may not be able to service? Consider whether you’re creating unnecessary problems for yourself.
If C++ fails when you do casts, why doesn't Haskell fail since it allows infinite recursion to build terms of whatever type you like? You can make the same argument: "don't do that". C++ compilers can warn when you cast. Haskell compilers can warn on incomplete pattern matches.

Is the definition you use not so broad as to admit all invariants being described as types?

If a method requires a dictionary arguments with a certain key, is that a type to you? If you extend the term "type" to cover all invariants, I don't think that is the way that the term is commonly used, even though many invariants can be proven in e.g. dependently typed languages.

All these terms are so wonky because a C++ type is not equal to a Haskell type. So I feel we can't ever have solid definitions of terms like "strong", since it depends what you compare it to, and it also depends what you compare from. So while X is strong in comparison to Y, that doesn't say much about X's relation to Z.

Not to diminish the excellent work that the font community has done in creating this, but part of me wonders if this is the same font that the Petscop creator used.
> The first column of the rotation matrix is the new x-axis expressed in the old coordinate system, the second column is the y-axis and so on. An identity matrix would yield in no rotation since all unit vectors would be the same as the previous coordinate system.

It's a shame that this isn't made more clear in most tutorials and classes. The idea of axis application order really does make things more confusing than is needed.
I see your point about people perhaps at the core being mad not at the education part but at the flaunting part. Good point.
Right, but the chance of this happening is a lot smaller.

Actually, I should have realized, what one should do is draw a random Gaussian (or Laplace) with very large variance -- see "differential privacy".

You might want to check your figures- 1 death/2.2e9 km is 4.5e-10 deaths per km. The 0.45/km figure is way out, for that to be the case there would need to be roughly 1.1billion deaths per 2.2 billion km.
