10% of the average Briton's ancestry (for those without recently migrated ancestors) is attributable to West European Mesolithic hunter gathers. That's a pretty significant chunk, suggesting both migration and mixture happened, and not diffusion or replacement.

From https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/our-work/origins-evolution...

"When we look at genetic variation in modern British people today, we find that – for those who do not have a recent history of migration – around 10% of their ancestry can be attributed to the ancient European population to which Cheddar Man belonged. This group is referred to as the western European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. However, this ancestry does not relate specifically to Cheddar Man or the Mesolithic population of Britain. Well after Cheddar Man’s death, two large-scale prehistoric migrations into Britain produced significant population turnovers13. Both of these migrations into Britain represented westward extensions of population movements across Europe10-12. In both cases, these migrating populations intermixed with local people who carried western European Mesolithic hunter-gatherer ancestry, as they moved across Europe. When these populations arrived in Britain they already had some hunter-gatherer ancestry derived from this mixing with local populations. Therefore the majority of western European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers ancestry that we see in modern British people probably originates from populations who lived all over Europe during the Mesolithic, which was carried into Britain by these later migrations."

I think it's telling that a number of your examples are things found outside of San Francisco.

It's SF proper seeing these drops-- not surrounding areas in the bay (at least not to anywhere near the same degree).

And just like you see the benefit of being able to travel out to those things it's also possible to travel in to SF for the things that are there-- from my perspective the things that are good about SF (like a performing arts event or a fancy restaurant) are things which I'd only partake occasionally and not every day.

Some of it is just subjective: I think the SF weather is pretty terrible compared to anywhere else in the bay-- continually cold and foggy. I can't stand the constant mind numbing noise. I can't stand the traffic, the lack of parking, and the public transit necessary to deal with it but which stops running early and poorly connects significant parts of the city.

But I don't see a reason to argue it with you: Different people have different preferences and I don't doubt that SF is great in all kinds of ways that matter to you. For me not living in SF was a trivial decision that had nothing to do with real-estate prices, and so it's easy to me to imagine how things are for people who decided otherwise but with the pandemic are finding that the trade-off they made doesn't make sense.

My point was only that there were are many people who find it generally awful and only counterbalanced by factors that, at least temporarily, now don't apply.

> Show me a place with affordable real estate and I'll show you a place that not many people want to move to.

That is a misrepresentation of the economics. Prices can shoot to the sky based on relatively modest differences between supply and demand. Some places have affordable real-estate because they're a lot less attractive, but others have more affordable real-estate because they're only slightly less attractive or because they have slightly less constrained supply, which can just be a product of geography or differences in public policy.

"The iPhone mini fits in the palm of you hand" lol.

It's interesting that a reasonably sized phone is now a selling point in itself.

In general i like keeping my devices for as long as possible - so when i jumped from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 10, i was surprised to learn that the phone was hard to use with one hand now, extremely slippery and way, way heavier than my iphone 6.

The mini seems like a good size for me. The Pro 12 looks absolutely amazing though! I usually don't fanboy but goddamn their product design is stellar.

I've seen it mostly used to describe male programmers that people don't like.
Call me old-fashioned, but when I look at the source code of a web page designed using the "modern" frameworks, it looks like a horrible mess of JS/CSS with very little actual content. E.g. take a look at this guy's code snippet's HTML source in the middle of the page - it's just a wall of <div>s and <span>s, for every single visible character.

The search engines these days cannot even function without a JS interpreter, something that surely increases the complexity and cost of building one.

Long gone are the days when one cared about semantic elegance of HTML code, per-site optimized CSS stored in an external file for easy caching, only occassional use of JS for easier navigation...

Nowadays you don't build websites, you have to build "apps". It's one of many signs of the "appification" of Internet.

When you have the ability to make it into foam in space, why not use that to make lifting bodies out of it, and let them glide down, instead of crashing like a stone?

Stop thinking in terms of projectiles. Just because the Space Shuttle came down like brick in a controlled crash doesn't mean there are no other ways to do this. Without the need for ablation, btw!

At Apple’s scale, a decision like that has really big implications that from a single-user perspective aren’t that obvious.

Not only do you bifurcate your entire product line and supply chain, your customers are not just individuals, but families. Think about a family who has one new phone that now won’t work with any of the chargers the rest of the family uses.

On top of that, the new connector type won’t be compatible with any of the pre-existing “infrastructure”. While that might not be a big deal for some single users, it could be a major issue for others.

>In this version, tactics write code - you use tactics to generate a term (Haskell code), and then you can edit the term itself. Save and load the file, and all you get is the Haskell code: the tactics only existed for codegen.

There's nothing preventing you from already doing this. You can use Isabelle's hammer/CoqHammer to generate a proof, dump the proof term and then replace your usage of the hammer tactic with the term. It's just, why would you want to edit the proof term manually? I'm pretty sure you can do this with Haskell's normal metaprogramming facilities too, it's just really not the intended way.

>Why?

Because it's a lot harder to maintain. Not only do you lose out on information about the generation (Why/How was it generated?), if you change the code it was generated from, you'll have to either manually edit the generated code (especially troublesome because the information of how it was generated was thrown away!) or you'll have to figure out how to do it using tactics again (in that case, why not just keep the tactics as documentation?).

>As you yourself pointed out, tactics would be terrible as an opaque metaprogram - they only work if you don't care about the particular term they generate.

Tactics aren't 'opaque', it's just a pain to manually look at the generated code and I don't see how the same doesn't apply here.

>Because it's built out of several tactic steps, which the article goes into the construction of. You could still (presumably) have built it piece by piece, by applying each tactic one at a time - and each step only modifies the term slightly, leaving a hole for later steps.

You could, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not the intention. If you just want some form of 'quick actions' you don't need a tactics system. Having an option to 'try filling this hole' heavily indicates that this is to be used for more heavy automation.

Yeah, it is easy to do, but only on Unixen, the dev environment I am working on is primarily run under Windows (and also maybe Linux in the future).
If the foam ball you drop is large enough losses from ablation wouldn't be a big deal.

You can certainly get the speed down enough so that the words impact crater wouldn't be in the report, also you smack them into oceans not land (though smacking them into the desert would be an option I guess if you could shed enough speed).

For a 10 meter sphere of nickel foam with a density of 2000kg/m3 (so about 60% 'air' by volume) it's ~2000 miles per hour[1].

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/airfri2.html#c5

Fast but not insurmountable.

That sphere would be ~8000 tonnes of pure nickel minus ablative losses (which would reduce the impact speed).

Of course you'd want the density to be below 1000KG/m3 or it'd sink.

So a 10m sphere at 850kg/m3 would have a terminal velocity of ~1300 miles per hour - or about mach 2 and you'd be picking up about 3500 tonnes of pure nickel bobbing about.

I'd quite like to see that actually (from a good distance away).

No worries, clear communication around this area is difficult.

SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose are completely different beasts, though they might look similar from the outside. SwiftUI relies heavily on observable objects and basically a shared-mutable-state architecture. I believe that adapting it into Rust would be a nightmare.

Jetpack Compose, on the other hand, lets the app logic build the UI with method calls that resemble immediate mode GUI (though there are of course important differences, as it is building a retained widget tree). These updates are mediated through a mutable context object ("Composer" in the Jetpack Compose world), which adapts quite nicely into the Rust world. In particular, it does not depend on shared mutable references.

I strongly believe that it is possible to express UI in Rust quite naturally and expressively. I've written a fair amount about this recently and have provided evidence in the form of the existing Druid work and the Crochet research prototype, which represents an evolution of its reactive architecture to better support dynamic reconfiguration (a current weak spot in Druid). Of course, we won't know for sure til we get there, but in the meantime it would be nice if the naysayers at least made informed criticism.

That's the "hidden local variables" theory. Experiments seem to suggest it's wrong. How one pair is observed appears to affect (change) the other instantaneously. But, not in a way we can use to our advantage to get instant communication.

The virus originated in China, but China did not 'originate the virus.' Please do not make unfounded speculation regarding the causality in this event.

China has not been completely forthright about the early stages of the covid's spread and they engaged in tactics similar to, but not quite as bad, as what the current US administration and some states have done to try to hide the scope of the disease within their jurisdiction. It seems like a lot of countries have done poorly at communicating with their citizens and with each other regarding covid.

China didn't shut down travel fast enough, but by the time things has started to appear and become concerning covid had already left China and was en route to Italy and the west coast of the US. Once the nature of the disease and particularly the asymptomatic transmission stage became clear everyone needed to adjust. To claim this is some fault of the Chinese government is pure BS.

As for pushing 'malign' interest, you are entitled to your own opinions but that seems to be another unfounded value judgement that is just as easily dismissed as right-wing propaganda.

The truth of the efficacy of hydroxy chloroquine to treat covid may not be settled.

But what is settled is that there is not enough conclusive evidence right now to use it as a treatment.

In medicine, when confronted with low degrees of certainty, the default is to -not- administer to treatment until proven otherwise.

As a side note, notice that it appears Trump did not receive HCQ as part of his treatment regiment.

That's not right. The colors need to be able to change in transit. Otherwise, how does a double slit adjust after a particle passes through, and the opening then closes?

Here's my approach:

1. Each ball starts with red or blue as the easiest way to transfer heat through electromagnetic radiation.

2. You are good at quantum chemistry. You convert the ball to a microstate. You turn it into a voltage without chemical reactions or heat loss through phase change.

3. That voltage grounds out to Earth. Earth gets brighter. Earth's internal clock ticks faster. Earth's orbit increases in radius. Good telescopes far away all agree that bigger Earth in orbit around bright sun transfers heat the fastest.

4. That propagates at the speed of light to everything. As time passes, all that is leveraged. You will need to give all that a different explanation if you want to start reversing things now.

5. You alter the macrostate of AUS so if a ball materializes, it's easier to transfer heat as blue.

6. Any ball to materialize in the USA would be red.

It's a big difference. Cosmic objects are spinning coins growing in locality at the speed of light. Stopping them with chemicals in orbit or matter wave satellites or systems that start with our sun or a black hole at one end have very profound effects. We can increase our precision here based on our greater ability out there. A slow acting photosensitive drug or genetic treatment that works because what a solar probe did in the past. Sounds desperate but I am tenacious in the pursuit.
