I saw this headline and kind of winced because I just finished doing battle with our webpack config(s), but top-level await, automatic Worker entry points, cjs tree shaking, and import.meta support are huge! I'm also grateful for the removal of Node polyfilling -- it tends to just add confusion when you're testing across different environments.

Yeah I didn’t get this statement. I only play tube amps, and most guitarists I know only play tube amps. I actually don’t know anyone that plays a modeling amp. Maybe they’re more popular outside of my sphere, but even with popular YouTube guitars players, they all play tube amps. Mostly Fender.
As soon as you veer off the beaten path, which might as well be a tightrope, you need to understand things about webpack that are not made readily available. You need to know what exactly the CSS loader does, what _exactly_ the style loader does, what source queries are, how to _properly_ override import resolutions, and etc.

Getting this information out of the documentation is like squeezing water from a rock. It seems to be written of the opinion that you don't need to know how and what is going on, and if you do you probably already know.
You can have your car wrapped in vinyl in whatever color matte or semi-matte finish you like.
I don’t think that’s the main concern. I worked on offshore platforms and the devices needed to be class 1 div 2 compliant. Meaning they need to be sealed completely to avoid vapors being sparked by electrical devices. It’s a small risk, but gasoline vapor is very combustible.
What I mean is that these annotations are going to prevent compilation if you get them wrong, but the compiler's type inference is good enough that you only need to provide types when there is ambiguity.

That means most of the type annotations written exist because developers find them useful for documentation.

That's an archaic Anglicism in my opinion. Nobody in Netherland calls the country "de Nederlanden", and probably hasn't in two centuries. I think it's about time that English finally followed suit.
I'm from Norway. Zip code thing completely threw me off first time I was renting a car in the US. Drove up to the pump, whipped out my card and... what? Why on earth do they need to know my zip code?

Didn't know any zip codes offhand so ended up paying inside, which turned out I had to do in advance of course, another aha moment. Inside the cashier naturally asked how many gallons I wanted. I had no idea. Rental car was not one I'd ever driven before, and I hadn't looked in the manual for the size of the tank. I took some comfort that the cashier had no idea either. And so there I was trying to guess how many liters the car's tank might be, how much might be left and converting that into gallons.

Back outside with a conservative 4 gallons to pump, the guy behind in line kindly informed us of the zip code of the area we were in, for next time. Came in very handy.

What's so funny is that Carver came out with the compatible amplifier as a product. But it didn't sell.

So then he build the Carver Silver 7, as something of a joke.[1] It has fourteen tubes per channel. The power supply is on a separate chassis. All wire is silver, soldered with silver solder. It costs $17,500. Per channel. Here's a picture of a pair of them.[2]

It sold quite well. Versions of it are still selling.

I want to preface by saying I love playing with music instrumentation and other audio software and it’s long been on my list to learn more to play with ideas much like OP so hats off to Keith for releasing this software.

But as far as guitar instrumentation goes— I have a lot of respect for good solid state amplifiers—think Roland Jazz Chorus—that are not modelling another sound but a very intensively tuned original instrument.

As for physical, electrical amplifiers versus a software emulated version I just can’t see the point in using one outside of the [potential] convenience.

Now, if your goal is to take that signal and twist it into something new altogether that’s different. But if I want to sound like an AC30 I don’t know why I would use something like hats just trying to sound like an AC30 versus something that is and AC30.

Lacklustre has always been my experience. Like leaving a tube amp too quiet—not saturating the tubes. It just tends to sound dull.
All models are wrong, but some are useful. There's a favourite professor of mine, teaching evolutionary psychology. He always reminds students that there are many models that can explain something - like why did the chicken crossed the road - from chemistry to motivation theories.

This article seems to argue that because we don't have a good enough model to explain the experience of free will, therefore free will does not exist. Pack it up boys. Also - neurology deals with disorders of the nervous system. And when somebody tries to write a scientific article and relies on arguments such as "makes no sense" - just wow.

Note: I research what is called behavioural causality. And in my subjective experience the concept of free will has less and less relevance. As the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded - just try to have the same conversation with somebody on a full stomach or hungry. We may not realise this, most of the time we are unaware. Our will is influenced by our contexts, internal chemistry, stimuli we were exposed to all our lives.

It is arrogant, if not delusional, to think that in an universe where everything is connected, somehow the human mind found a way to break free and be... something else - influencing the world but without being influenced back. Like that doesn't break the laws of physics!

To me what’s interesting is that ESBuild (which is a Go based JavaScript bundler) has come out of nowhere in a relatively short period of time, and it’s basically already better than any of the existing JS JS bundlers. Not just faster: it also has a radically simpler UI.

The mazda I want to buy next comes only in six colors: two whites, two grays, red and blue. So more like four colors if you're not a designer or something.

They made a limited edition in orange. So in a sense, it is like you say. A special package, with the color as a signal.

There are a couple of pastel colors that I've seen in the streets that are gorgeous: something like peaches and a sky blue. Not out of the box, not sure how much is painting, of course it isn't something practical. You need to pay extra.

I had the same thought. I also love the trackpoint on Lenovo (previously IBM) laptops.

But once I tries a split keyboard with a layout that really allows you to keep your hands in one position, I realized that moving my hand to a trackpoint or a trackball, and moving it to a mouse is an equal amount of disruption. At that, a mouse is a much more precise device.

You can also check the "J joystick" idea implemented on some really old laptops, where a regular key is turned into a joystick.

Fwiw, apropos the friction page[0], yesterdayish I saw a recent Friction video[1], which told a causation story of transient bonding, which prompted me to dig up a talk[2] by Mark Robbins (Johns Hopkins, but recently deceased). I saw a variant of it a year or few back at Harvard, and IIRC, he suggests Phys101-flavor Amontons'-laws friction was dominated by interfacial debris mechanics. Rather than by boding or direct interference. He told a fun story of a historical experiment replica, which gave unexpected results, until taken to a K-12 outreach event, where finger grease was helpfully added. Amontons' laws of large objects sliding on pig fat.

There's often a large gap between education content and research understanding. The pipeline flows neither smooth nor fast. Even simple things, like the color of the Sun, can be pervasively wrong. Let alone hard things, like friction. And there's almost no use of deep research understanding to craft novel learning progressions. If anyone has heard of efforts with this kind of focus, I'd appreciate hearing of them - thanks!

Addendum: re "Examples of visible thermal radiation: [...] the yellow part of fire (not the blue)", my understanding is this is another common misconception, and that candle yellow, while having a spectra shaped similar to blackbody radiation, is actually the mess of soot C-C bond emission spectra. It's way too cool to be blackbody - you'd have to be able to put a bit of metal in the flame, and have it too glow as bright and white-rather-than-red. Err, well, just since we're here, re "thermal emission [...] hottest to coldest: blue, white, yellow,", the Planck curve doesn't go through yellow: blue-white-red. It's a quick way to see if software is getting its chromaticity math wrong, though that happily seems less common now than it was a few years ago.
Reminds me of this Dilbert comic[0]. You're correct that you can never prove that a sequence is not random. But looking at the probabilities could be enough to prove tampering beyond reasonable doubt. At the very least this would be enough to launch an investigation even if we were unwilling to draw conclusions based on probability alone.

Which people?
I've often wondered this myself. Also, because on a couple of occasions, I've had a gas pump (or dispenser?) turn off immediately if I inserted it all the way, but it would work fine if I retracted it a little bit (which made me nervous, because will it still turn off automatically in time if I do that?).

So how is it possible that on some pumps, this trigger system immediately disables the main valve, even when the tank is empty? My best guess is that it's not actually contact with gas in the tank that shuts it off, but air pressure. Air pressure stays constant if I don't insert the handle all the way, but if I do, maybe the air pressure can build up a bit?

So despite Cecil's answer, I still have questions.
And this boilerplate isn't going to be a pain?
ESBuild will transpile to different versions of ES6. It won’t drop down to 5.

I assert that you don’t need 5 support because you aren’t actually QAing IE11 and if you did, you’ll learn that it’s actually been broken and no one reported it.
I’ll be honest: I’m not exactly following your last comment. I was just trying to let you know of a viable solution if all you want is a matte teal or space-purple car and didn’t know it existed (since it only got semi-popular in the last few years).
This looks promising, but are there plans to include packages like siunitx or it's meant to be kept simple?
> I think the key word in your argument is 'implies' and you didn't use the word 'requires'.

You can make this same argument for the function name or the parameter names. Nothing about the implementation of the max function requires it be named max to work, it just needs to link to a function pointer or some equivalent construct that acts in a way as defined by a specification for what max should do. A name like max is helpful for use though. So is arranging max, min, and other standard math functions in the same module. Treating method names as different from other forms of organization is inconsistent. They are all forms of organization.

You've also raise some points re interoperability, but I'm not really arguing about that. My own argument is more of a conceptual one based on the difference between an API and an API contract as well as on the role a system specification plays in API design & use. You could probably extend this concept to the interoperability question and I see no reason why it won't make sense, but that's not what I'm doing here.
I generally dislike TLDRs, but yours is directly on point. It’s about focusing on the ‘job’ you want your product to be ‘hired’ for. This is what Clayton Christensen’s last book was about: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28820024-competing-again...

What you are supposed to do is look in the Owner's Manual. It should tell you what octane number gas you should get, plus a lot more. For example, in the manual for mine (a 2006 Honda CR-V) it says this:

===========

Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number of 87 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic rapping noise that can lead to engine damage.

We recommend using gasoline containing detergent additives that help prevent fuel system and engine deposits.

In addition, in order to maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend, in areas where it is available, the use of gasoline that does NOT contain manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT.

Use of gasoline with these additives may adversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator lamp on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact
your authorized dealer for service.

Some gasoline today is blended with oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE. Your vehicle is designed to operate on oxygenated gasoline containing up to 10 percent ethanol by volume and up to 15 percent MTBE by volume. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

===========

Dealing with the octane number is easy. Just don't use gas with a lower octane than your manual calls for. You can use a higher octane if you want, but it won't really do anything other than cost more. You'll get the same performance, wear, pollution, and mileage as you would with the octane number given in your manual.

In general, discounting what’s beneficial to people, by labeling it as “privilege” is only a disadvantage to the non-elites. The elites will continue to do just fine.

If not having a boss, living a certain kind of life is advantageous, we should do what we can do go for that. If our means don’t allow for it, let’s work towards it.

There is an undercurrent here that drives the discussion. They know meat well enough not to like it, without knowing of any other thinking meat. So, they know of dumb animals, and animals eating other animals, and consider them disgusting to have around, for reasons obvious to one another, that we might not even be equipped to understand.

But we have exactly their reaction to outgroups of other people. So this is a lampoon of bigots who imagine themselves a cut above some other group. But they're just meat, too, and no more fit for galactic society.
> Run it three times however is not part of such bugginess though. It means that they're randomly encountering different executions/run-states on what should be the same config/setup, each time you run it. And they have no idea why.

Maybe we’ve interpreted that message in different ways, but I took it to mean you may need to try it again at a later date once the community have fixed those issues/bugs. I don’t think they meant literally 3 runs of the same setup.

They’re still working through stuff so there may be edge cases for some where 5 won’t work right now.

I guess my perspective comes from the other side, ASIC tools that do the same thing (synthesis, place and route, STA, simulation) are way, way worse. Design compiler was designed in the 90s, and while it has many advanced features, it's usability is incredibly poor. A million variables you never heard of, and each one tweaks its behaviour in weird and wonderful ways, and a GUI that still looks like its from the 90s. Costs 90k a seat to boot, but if you're doing ASIC design, it's one of the major tools you will use. And it just does the synthesis bit. Vivado does it all, and has seamless cross probing between each stage, right back to source code. It's usability to me is refreshing. I have found bugs, sure, but never a show stopper. It's free Verilog simulator (xsim) is better than any other free system Verilog simulator out there, and that's just one sub component of Vivado.
Yeah sorry, let me rephrase part of it:

For cars (and some other things) I feel like unless it is "as the manufacturer produced it" (and not aftermarket stuff) it feels wrong.

Like... I could paint my car myself, change its color or foil it with some matte foil but... Unless it's 100% officially provided by the manufacturer I guess it just feels.... wrong.
