There was an old joke about people trying to compare their ancestors' prowess:

At the EU council, the Italian representatives come one day and say: we have definitive proof that Romans were the most advanced civilization that ever lived! We have dug 20 meters under the current soil level and found copper, obvious proof that they had mastered DSL internet!

Next year, the same forum, a Frenchman comes up and declares: we have discovered evidence showing conclusively that the Galls had the most advanced early culture! We dug for 30 meters and found glass, so they had already mastered fiber glass-based internet!

One more year afterwards, the Romanian representative comes out and explains: previous claims by my colleagues have been investigated and found false. It was in fact the Dacians that the most advanced internet of the ancient world: we have dug for 20 meters, 30 meters, even 40 meters, and everywhere found nothing at all - uncontroversial proof that they had already mastered wireless communication!
I mentioned typescript and react (meaning jsx actually) because browsers run javascript.

In a 2d, rectangular puzzle, with boring die-cut pieces, you have only 4 corner pieces. :-)

Puzzles at higher difficulties are not rectangular, don't have straight sides, or have straight & corner-looking pieces in the middle.

The stepping back in time would make it a causal loop if you were able to observe something happening in the past (light traveling from the source) from the exit side, then go back through the wormhole to change this.

To prevent this, the observed wormhole traversal time would need to be slightly faster than the speed of light, because then you also couldn't go back far enough to change something you already observed (assuming the "time" here is symmetrical to the time it takes going in the other direction).

However there are other problems: What happens when I have 2 matching wormhole pairs, each exit being located to the entry point of the other. If I step back through the exits again and again can I go back in time as far as I wish?

You should consult with a trademark lawyer (I'm not a lawyer), but my understanding from lawyers who've trademarked for me is that you must have used (or will use via the intention to use filing) the mark in commerce.

If you have not, then the mark is not active. Because Transistor fm has used their mark in commerce, then they will hold rights to it already even if they have not officially trademarked (not sure if this is so). So a useful way to handle this is to quickly make your first sale if you're trademarking something new (and issue an invoice).

They can also contest your mark during the trademarking process.

I understand the sense in which you are saying all this, and I agree, this might be how things go about provided humanity even survives this century provided we reach this hypothetical synthetic economic optimal. lots of ifs. and risky as hell, very very risky. but yeah probably how things would go by, the best one can be is sad.

I'm starting to despise UI patterns that discourage any sort of meaningful discourse.

This includes stuff like hiding comment threads and only showing one or two comments by people you follow on LinkedIn, or features like "canned comments" ("Congratulations, John Doe!"). I don't know why websites stopped respecting their users' agency, but my pet hypothesis is that some product team is being measured on some sort of superficial "user engagement" KPI and ended up optimizing for meaningless reactions instead of actual discussions....

I approached this wondering if it would be somewhat like 'Make a Lisp' or similar [0], that as a competent programmer you could start within minutes of starting to read the instructions.

It doesn't seem like that. I think this is because

* it has comprehensive background for newbies (e.g. the idea of setting breakpoints in a debugger)

* it is the accompaniment for a separate book

* it has some serious background assumptions (e.g. you know calculus)

* graphics programming is much, much harder than making a lisp.

It would be stored underground, where the cost per unit of energy storage capacity is under $1/kWh, two orders of magnitude cheaper than batteries. The round trip efficiency is not good, though, and there are per-power costs too. But for very long term storage, or storage for rare cloudy-calm days over large areas, it's hard to beat.
Reddit believe the engagement they get from the app and aggressively advertising it outweighs the engagement lost from users who prefer to disengage than install it.
Those are entirely different build systems, and they're obscure and immature.

CMake scripting is bad. Fragmentation of build-systems is probably even worse. Like I said, it still makes sense to use CMake for multi-platform code.

If the CMake folks made more of an effort with documentation, many of my complaints would go away. It's not necessary to burn down CMake and start afresh. The awful language wouldn't matter so much if there was clear and thorough documentation with plenty of complete examples, and in particular, definitive guidance and reusable boilerplate for the most common jobs (e.g. package discovery).

> I wonder why CMake cannot embed an alternative language?

The last things CMake needs are even more complexity and even less consistency.

Mandatory additional detailed info: Division by zero in floating point equals to Infinity because in a floating point data structure there is space to represent such a value. For integers, there is no such information and therefore an exception should be thrown.

For a 32-bit float, the following are true:

Positive infinity: 011111111(and then 23 zeroes)
Negative infinity: 111111111(and then 23 zeroes)
NaN: x11111111(and then anything except all zeroes)
... x being either 0 or 1.

I have used and unpoly but not together. It seems to me that they would conflict since they are trying to do the same thing but I’m different ways.

Svelte is a very clean frontend framework that needs a lot less rituals than, say, react to do what you need it to do. Your backend send data (JSON) and svelte renders it.

Unpoly is designed for your backend to send HTML and unpoly (among other things) avoids full page reloads when you navigate to another page. It has some other very nice functionality that, if included from the beginning in the architecture, can completely avoid needing a frontend framework.
There are so many mobile apps out there that are little more than wrappers around the mobile site -- but it's vital that they be apps for precisely this reason. Neverthless, as a user, it drives me crazy; I just want to access the site in my browser.

What we are starting to see is web push notifications becoming fully supported by browsers, and I think it's only a matter of time before iOS and Android start allowing app-like websites to notify users without them having to download a full-fledged app.

It would be interesting to see what this does for the iOS and Android development landscape. They're in a golden age now where every major property needs both a mobile site and a dedicated app on both platforms. But if the mobile site can handle more features that were previously the sole provenance of native apps, that seems likely to shift the landscape.

Put.io: Hassle-free torrenting on the cloud
I had to re-read the article, but you're right: he didn't explicitly say that he transferred data for free (although he mentions Apple does it for free, twice).
AppStore is not a speadsheet or a word processor. It is not a graphics editor or text editor. It is a package manager. That is the kind of software it is. AppStore "automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs for a computer's operating system in a consistent manner." That is its type. That it sells things does not change the fact that it is a package manager.

Many are hedging words, confusing a market, where you might purchase bananas and soda, with an economic market, AppStore is strictly not an economic market, i.e. not distinctly "a composition of systems, institutions, procedures, social relations or infrastructures whereby parties engage in exchange." AppStore is in an economic market, the market of package managers for handheld devices.

You can't force MacPorts to accept your software. The maintainers and regents of MacPorts are pretty reasonable, but if you develop software that locates children for sexual abuse, you're probably not going to be allowed to distribute your software with MacPorts.

In kind, if you violate the terms of Apple's developer agreement, which you must agree to before you can even download their developer tools, Apple has the absolute right to ban you from distributing software in Apple's (it belongs to no one else) AppStore. It is not anti-trust behavior. It is written policy.
Somewhat recent experience doing robotics work really highlighted the dangers of dividing by small numbers. As a robot arm approaches a singular configuration, the matrix used to calculate motor torques starts to get very bad and, left unaddressed, will likely result in some pretty wild behaviour.

I would argue that dividing by very tiny numbers is also something that you should probably be catching, since the output very large numbers are likely not going to do what you’re expecting...

That's not correct. The deaths, assaults and racial segregation occurred without the involvement of police.
The points you make are all true until they are not. Many useful robots should be able to work well enough for the purpose at a reasonable cost. Part of that is mass production brings prices down.

The problem is of course until we can solve the problem of making it work at all price isn't a consideration. You can go bankrupt advancing the state of the art which then is enough for someone else to take your work and (repeat the bankruptcy part many times until someone works it out), and finally someone makes a ton of money with their useful robot.
The birthday problem isn't applicable here, because you're trying to match a specific combination rather than looking for any matching pair. So the average number of attempts needed is indeed 4096/2.

In case you just read the "3%" in the title and dismiss it, here's a few of the interesting breakdowns from the survey:

"Young Hispanics, ages 18 to 29, are among the most likely to have heard of the term – 42% say they have heard of it, compared with 7% of those ages 65 or older."

"Use is among the highest for Hispanic women ages 18 to 29 – 14% say they use it, a considerably higher share than the 1% of Hispanic men in the same age group who say they use it."

"42% of those who have heard the term describe it as a gender-neutral one."

"12% of respondents who had heard of Latinx express disagreement or dislike of the term. Some described the term as an “anglicism” of the Spanish language, while others say the term is “not representative of the larger Latino community.”"

Also, technically, all words are made-up. That's how we got words.
At least part of OP's problem is that she was a consultant. She didn't work there. Note that in her story, employees of BigCorp did WFH. There's even less upside for BigCorp to change policy because it would positively impact some consultant's work/life balance. In BigCorp's mind, the consultant is exhorbitantly expensive and doesn't deserve work/life balance anyway.
“Demonstrate added value” can be an entirely fictional construct in business environments. Don’t take it literally.
True, but I think it isn't besides the point - the argument is the (global) risk profile hasn't changed all that much. The risk profile to the rule maker specifically has changed, in favour of them not simply maintaining established process.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to wait for a pandemic or other crisis to overcome this managerial hysteresis. Of course, if the rule is reinstated after a few months, or if a plane is brought down with 125 mL of liquid in a few years, then you're right - it's a rational rebalancing.
I agree that a UBI will probably be needed in the future, and that a wealth tax alone won't fund it - but it could be part of it. The way I see it a wealth tax is more like a 'catch all' tax - it's a fallback in case the other taxes and regulations that should be in place to counter-act income inequality fail. Those rules are much more important, but we might as well have the wealth tax too.
To a degree of course, just 'but it might work' would be enough I guess, the same way someone needs to at least not be told something is a placebo for a double blind study to be "valid" ("methodologically sound" would a better term I think?). I did read quite a lot on the topic and much has been written about it over the years, but this was 10+ years ago for me, I don't remember enough to really make a coherent argument that addresses the details.

Thank you for the feedback!

I did consider changing the name, but that's a lot harder than it seems (have to rebrand, change domain, probably lose all SEO, etc.). So far I didn't encounter any issues with ad-blockers (for users userTrack is self-hosted, so you can host it on any domain, so name doesn't matter there). I also rank highly for terms like "user tracking" which I think is good, as people would stumble upon a self-hosted alternative instead of some 3rd party platform like Google Analytics. In the end, it does track stats and users on your website, but if I were to start again I would indeed choose a friendlier name.

I am aware of that visual bug, I do have a better solution in mind for it, unforunately I have to write hacky code to make it work (due to the limitations of the material-ui library used). I think that's a very minor issue though, and there are more important issues I want to fix before it, especially that it's not an easy fix.

Helge, this kind of suggestions may be reasoned from your moral grounds (which I don't share), but in terms of getting towards peace - they are so far from anything Israel would consider they venture into the realm of fantasy and thus will just stir hatred and conflict which clearly mainly harms the Palestinians.

I've been listening to the Music Exists podcast by Chuck Klosterman and Chris Ryan (unfortunately available only on Spotify). It's quite good and definitely introduced me to some new stuff.

I’ve given up on reddit on mobile. From time to time I drop in on it using Safari on the desktop, but it’s not worth it to me to deal with their engagement-ification in their mobile app, or obvious crippleware of their mobile web experience.

I’m not pissed off about this: It’s like dropping in on a bar I used to enjoy a decade ago, to find out it has been redesigned a few times and everyone’s a new face.

Sometimes, that’s a really cool experience: “Say, this is neat.” Sometimes, not. But times must change, and we either change with them, or get left behind.

I am not going to change and become an engagement addict, clicking on shiny baubles out of boredom. So in reddit’s case, I am a part of its past, not its present, and I must accept being left behind in its wake.
