Green Eggs and Ham is a great starter book, but IMHO the greatest of Dr Seuss's many great books is Oh, the Places You'll Go!. His mastery of "simple" English is stunning, kids find it enthralling, and the messages are surprisingly deep.

The lowering of the planet’s albedo through melting ice sounds like the most worrisome runaway effect.
> How is quoting the official Mozilla FAQ "splitting hairs"?

This just sounds like willful ignorance to be honest. It was obvious that Eich did not have the backing to remain as CEO.

The whole situation was an embarrassment and a disgrace for everyone involved to be honest. No one came out of it looking good.
The plan described there is to use a signal (SIGSYS) to jump back into the process. This involves multiple kernel/userpace switches as most likely you need some Linux syscalls to emulate the MS Windows one.

I like the idea of using eBPF to run an emulation layer. That has potential to be more efficient and doesn't require the running process to cooperate so closely with the syscall emulation. Then this would probably lead to extensions to eBPF and its tooling which should be useful for other things!
These new generations of satellite constellations also are proposed to operate at MUCH lower altitudes and in much greater numbers than something in geosynchronous orbit. We're talking distances closer than the ISS, which is this far away: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ISS-42_Florida_in_th...

Doesn't seem like it would be that hard of a task at that proximity.

> Maybe a JS snippet.

While acceptable, also misleading: JS only does string keys, but unlike JSON it'll convert whatever it's given into strings. Not a problem most of the time, since it'll do the same conversion for both accessing and setting, but good to be aware of if you're doing something like iterating Object.keys()
No offence to you but this is why I hate PH so much. Any product launched there goes down in <6 months.

That book has an account going over the top in trench warfare and also describes bayoneting someone.
It’s bad enough reading it, let alone being there. An independent account of what Blair was like post war would be interesting.
It’s not bragworthy if you achieve zero forward progress in creating new capabilities. The Atlas, Titan and Delta series of rockets were great 50 years ago, but rapidly aging twenty years ago and so expensive they were holding back progress in space.

It’s like Henry Ford focusing on making the original Model T higher quality, but not cheaper. It would be a great accomplishment if he doubled the number of miles between servicing and halved the rate at which key components broke. But if he’s not also reducing its costs dramatically, it robs the world of the worst affordable car for the masses, a far higher achievement.
He didn't donate to "ban gay marriage."

He donated to leave the existing law in place that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

Hell, even Obama ran on keeping that the law.

> Rust is pretty cool, but Servo is pretty immature, and it seems like Mozilla just fired all those people. I dunno. I don't see a bright future there.

Well, yeah, that's the problem.

Until now, I felt like despite its issues, Mozilla was mostly on the right track. There have been a few mistakes here and there, but it was fundamentally doing good work.

However, cutting Servo, and it looks like maybe Cranelift as well (not sure about that, but Dan Gohmen aka sunfishcode, who seemed to be one of the lead contributors, has been laid off) is a huge blow.

While Servo as a whole browser is pretty immature, a number of components of it were adopted by Firefox, such as its CSS parser, Webrender, its GPU accelerated parallel rendering engine, and more.

You had asked about what Mozilla had done recently, and I listed a few things. But it looks like they are cutting a lot of that. They mentioned focusing on wasmtime and the Bytecode alliance, but I don't see how cutting one of their lead contributors helps out with that.

And they seem to be slowly cutting the head count on Rust; it's less apparent because there are enough people not at Mozilla contributing, and some of the core contributors have been moved onto other projects which use Rust at Mozilla so while they're not contributing directly they are still somewhat involved; and some folks have left of their own accord.

But now it looks like some of those other teams are being cut, like Servo and at least some of the wasmtime team, so I really hope that more companies can put some more investment directly in Rust, as well as the WASM ecosystem.
> Modern Windows is barely usable without 3D GPU acceleration.

That is a specific example (admittedly only one) of why Windows XP is better than Windows 10, so I'm not sure why you're citing that as if it supports your point.
It can be "worth" less than 1 cent. That simply means if you put in an offer at 1 cent, nobody will buy it, because they think it's worth less.

These are two different use cases. In the first case, which method the call actually dispatches to depends on obj, so it kinda makes sense for it to be syntactically distinct from other args. The pipeline syntax is normally used with free-standing functions that are statically dispatched.

Now, yes, there are languages with multimethods, where the distinction is less obvious. For those that always dispatch on all arguments, a uniform syntax makes more sense. CLOS is a good example.

You can make it a team effort to come up with the ideas, or even start with the problems you are trying to solve.

I’m not clear on if you are purely looking at architecture or also product features, etc. Your strategy would need to fit into all of that too.

The plan is long term so it’s ok to take some time over it. Ask lots of questions to different stake holders to get a good picture of the problem you are trying to solve.
Woah, I found a way to fix it! You need to remove the checkbox "Show Spotlight results in <whatever the feature's name is in English>" in Spotlight settings. I wouldn't thought that I need to go look for settings elsewhere to fix that.

Sadly, these days Lynn Margulis is better known for her AIDS crankery:

> Margulis said that "the set of symptoms, or syndrome, presented by syphilitics overlaps completely with another syndrome: AIDS," and also noted that Kary Mullis[a] said that "he went looking for a reference substantiating that HIV causes AIDS and discovered, 'There is no such document.' "

> This provoked a widespread supposition that Margulis had been an "AIDS denialist." Notably Jerry Coyne reacted on his Why Evolution is True blog against his interpretation that Margulis believed "that AIDS is really syphilis, not viral in origin at all."[50] Seth Kalichman, a social psychologist who studies behavioral and social aspects of AIDS, cited her 2009 paper as an example of AIDS denialism "flourishing",[51] and asserted that her "endorsement of HIV/AIDS denialism defies understanding."[52]

Also: 9/11 crankery!

> Margulis argued that the September 11 attacks were a "false-flag operation, which has been used to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as unprecedented assaults on ... civil liberties." She claimed that there was "overwhelming evidence that the three buildings [of the World Trade Center] collapsed by controlled demolition."[5]

Dot is not special. Putting the receiver objects first is special, because it allows the IDE to only show verbs (methods) that pertain to that object. If you put the verb first, code completion lacks context, so it would necessarily have to show you all verbs that can apply to any object that could conceivably be acted on in that scope.
So you're calling Eich willfully ignorant to claim he was not fired or forced out, when he actually was? Has he said that himself, or are you putting words into his mouth?

Shopify Cuts Office Staff Amid Remote Work Shift
Web standards are hideously complicated to implement, and browsers are hideously difficult to charge for. That doesn't make for a viable business.

Unless they become a volunteer based effort -- which is unlikely, given the hideous complexity of implementing web standards -- they don't have a way to fund things.

This is why I've repeatedly spoken against the unapproachable complexity of web standards. They effectively turn the web into a corporate walled garden for megacorporations, because they're too complicated to implement affordably.
Your opening line made me laugh inappropriately. When I was in grad school in molecular biophysics, someone asked, “if I fall asleep during a talk, and wake up just in time for questions, what question can I ask, to look smart, regardless of the topic of the talk?” The answer? “What was the magnesium concentration?”

Oh, absolutely; I wasn't saying that a full-featured emulator actually exists, just that the performance difference was huge enough that you could get away with using one as a replacement for amd64's missing virtualization. Video mode support is a operating system interface problem rather than a hardware-can't-run-fast-enough problem.

Cancel culture is honestly not a very good weapon, silencing people doesn’t produce any dialogue but makes people afraid of saying anything, creates a sensation of paranoia and fear. And lots of innocent folks fell into that trap and had their lives destroyed for no good reason. Canceling has been overused and what could once be used as an ace in the sleeve it became a nail bomb. I don’t think we could get anywhere fruitful by allowing these, it may in fact take us backwards a few steps. Dialogue and debate is the only way

I've been using TikTok for a year and I have not seen a single girl dance video in months. Not to say that those don't exist but there is far more content, yet people who've never used TikTok is just underage girls dancing to music. That's not too dissimilar than if I went to a subreddit dedicated to posting photos of barely legal girls, and claimed that's what reddit was all about. Similarly, Youtube also struggled with similar issues on its platform.

> SQL is messy because all the syntax was decided on before there was a community that really understood what good syntax is.

It's not that they didn't understand it. There are languages predating SQL that have better syntax.

But SQL was one of the so-called "4th generation programming languages", that were supposed to be operating at a much higher level. And because of that, there was the notion that, if they also have a more "natural" syntax, it would allow people who are not programmers to use them effectively. Hence why SQL was originally SEQUEL - Structured English Query Language. It was meant to be written by domain experts, not database experts.

Of course, that failed (like countless other similar attempts since then), and so now we're stuck with this syntax for no good reason whatsoever.
Magnesium L-threonate may have better cognitive than other formulations, but I wonder if a magnesium glycinate formulation would be better for anxiety/stress reduction.

Anectdotally also, I take Magnesium Bisglycinate from Thorne occasionally and it helps me relax and feel less anxious. My muscles stay pretty rigid normally and after taking the magnesium supplement I can feel everything loosen up. Helps with sleep too.

Requiring any form of ID to fly is illegal. The TSA simply has to verify that you are who you are claiming to be (and aren't on any no-fly list etc.) They do this today through some additional questioning, and that won't change post-realID.

It gets me nearly every time. I'd say 7 out of 10 times I listen to it I enter an altered state of relaxed alertness, somewhere between awake and and sleep, where I'm aware of my body and mind, but not fully present. Observers say I looked like I was asleep because I start twitching like I'm about fall asleep, but you're aware of what's happening.

Do it a few days in a row and the change in mental / emotional resilience is nothing short of phenomenal.

Based on what I've seen in nature films regarding how great apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, etc) react to rain, and the extreme aversion to being rained on that I've anecdotally seen in several different cultures, I have a suspicion that an aversion to rain--particularly to unwanted/unexpected rain--might be not only instinctual but peculiar and specific, similar to our aversions to spiders and snakes. Or maybe not, but it has definitely stood out to me.
I've been following SC since the beginning, first in the hope that it truly would give us the next big leap in space games (a genre i'm obsessed with), but quickly turning into it being me following it just for the drama and entertainment.

Star Citizen is without a doubt a total scam, with development pushing out the absolute mimimum[0] to keep more sucke^H^H^H^H^Hpeople investing more money. They're pulling in more money every year, with this year on track to be the biggest year yet[1].

I'm far from the only person who thinks it's a scam[2] and there's entire subreddits[3] devoted to people complaining and trying to get refunds.

The SC rabbit-hole is deep and (if you're into the industry drama) very entertaining, and while I don't feel sorry for the rabid fanboys who go into every SC thread defending their tens of thousands of dollars spent on a tech demo, I do absolutely feel sorry for the MILLIONS[4] of people who got suckered by these predators and led to believe they'll ever get what they paid for.

As I understand it, decomposition of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) alone produces a mixture of ammonia (NH3), nitric acid (HNO3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water (H2O). But if there's a reducing agent around, such as charcoal, coal or fuel oil, you'll get lots of diatomic nitrogen.
