Gauge Theory Gravity formulates classical general relativity in the language of geometric algebra, in a manner consistent with the gauge theories of other fundamental forces. It reproduces all observed experimental results of general relativity and, when quantized, deivates with predictions about gravitational waves [0] and quantum particle gravitational interactions

> Some folks like the idea of it, some might even use it, but no one _actually_ likes esperanto

I do. And I know a few others who do.

I mean, my preferred choice is to use my native language. Esperanto comes second. English third. But of course, the choice of language is usually determined by the intended audience.

The reason Esperanto comes second despite being used less than English is that it feels "more natural". This is probably hard to explain and hard to believe if you don't have a personal experience, but it is so. The high regularity has a psychological impact. I usually don't notice irregularities in my native language, because I am used to them so much. But in a foreign language, any irregularity is a mental reminder than I am not speaking my native language. Esperanto has more regularity, therefore fewer reminders of being foreign.
In Newtonian physics it's a force with a magnitude that is proportional to the mass of the body.

For two different objects at the same point in the same gravitational field, the difference in gravitational force due to their differing mass exactly cancels out the difference in acceleration due to their differing mass, so they both accelerate at the same rate.
So long as you accept that if it's expected that only 1 in 10 people repair their airpods, this only helps if making them repairable results in less than a 10% increase in materials used, while not increasing failure rate at all.

I can easily see how having a removable battery might increase failure rate in a product like this

US doctrine at the time was that soldiers were only supposed to reveal their name, rank and serial number, so soldiers naturally felt they had failed if they revealed anything else.
The best way to learn anything is to do it, fail,
learn from it, and do it again. You’ll never achieve perfection, but each iteration should get better.

Do something simple. Create a terminal weather app. Separate the “client” and “backend” into separate processes simply for the complexity of it.

Have the client end process commands, send requests to the backend, and render results.

The backend should receive commands from the client app and send back responses.

I’d suggest staying away from HTTP and try to use a pipe between the two processes and come up with your own protocol.

Bonus points if you make the api non-blocking and the client has to query the backend for results.

Add artificial delays. Add artificial failures. Add logging. Switch to protobufs. Create a distributed backend. Send messages over a queueing/task system instead of a bare pipe. Dockerize it. Simulate hundreds of clients. Go nuts.

Taking a silly simple application and making it overly complex is a good way to learn because you’re not burdened by the complexity of the problem, but instead the burden is on the thing you’re tying to learn.

Practice practice practice.

The effect of a spacetime transformation isn't just to redefine straight lines along which particles move. It means measurements (e.g. lengths, areas, time intervals) are different depending on where you are in the spacetime. The are forces don't come with these "extra" effects - an EM field doesn't stretch and contract space.

However, there are a lot of parallels between electromagnetism and relativity! Quite often relativity effects are introduced with an EM analogy, e.g. gravitational waves (which have polarisation) and electromagnetic waves ie photons (which also have polarisation). Note though it really is an analogy - they are fundamentally different things in both reality and mathematical form.

SF as a tech hub needs to die. There are better cities that are far less NIMBY and regressive.

If you don't succeed in launching a startup, you're just participating in a meat market. Your salary goes to rent. It's not sustainable.

My SF coworkers often have roommates. You can't live like that in your 30's. You can't get married or raise kids like that. I've owned multiple concurrent properties in the heart of a city - historic properties with 25' ceilings - and I still pay less than SF rent. It floors me people put up with SF living conditions.

NYC, Boston, Portland, Austin, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Miami have way better adjusted costs of living and aren't so broken politically. You can probably pick two cities and own homes in each for the cost of your SF rent.

Your apologism really rubs me the wrong way to be honest, and you've made such a strange, strongly-worded conclusion not at all supported by evidence.

Laptops with batteries, for instance, aren't "luddite" technology. Plenty of companies still make them. There's other ways of connecting a battery to chassis even in a small form factor like AirPods. For instance, a threaded base that screws in. It's not rocket science.

What you're saying is that Apple, the great innovator, can't find a way to make replaceable battery in a clean and elegant form factor for a small device, and that's the reason that nations are wealthier now than they used to be?

C'mon now, that's hard to make with a straight face isn't it? Failure is now success. Private profiteering at the expense of the environment is technophilia. Feels a lot like Owellian doublespeak to me.

tl;dr: Apple spends $16B per year on R&D. They can figure out how to screw a battery into an AirPod, and no, that's not why we're all wealthy now. It's why Apple is wealthier now.
> Also, a child can learn to recognise horses from a caricature of a horse

The way the chain of connection goes from the eye through the brain is like a tree, and when a child "sees" a horse, a number of those pathways are being activated, some of which are more general, and some of which are specific.

> which is a single image of a horse,

Although it may be a "single" image in the sense that is a single file on disk or a single printed image, a child is not seeing a single image. They are seeing a rushing river of horses, even if from just that 1 static image. Think of the 60hz refresh rate of your monitor. A child is seeing at least 60 "images per second", and likely many, many times more.
Photography also preceded audio reproduction while moving images developed slightly later, so the analogy does hold generationally.

But that's exactly why you want repairable products. It takes less time to fix something yourself with a standard screw driver and inexpensive commodity parts than to travel to the manufacturer's facility and prove to their satisfaction that it's broken so they'll replace the entire product.

What you really want is products that work like legos, so that no individual piece costs more than $25 and anybody can replace what's broken in five seconds without expert knowledge or specialized tools. To minimize labor costs.

How to run well on a wide range of phones and networks is a big challenge. The PRPL approach of preloading wastes bandwidth, and is a hard pain point for people who pay by bandwidth. Yet the load-on-demand approach is perceptually slower.

Svelte and Sapper get pretty close to what PRPL is describing, including much of the guidance of Next.js & Nuxt.js.

What can help? Browser hinting is one approach. Browser settings that make it easy to accept/reject irrelevant content are another approach. Browser proxies with compression and filters are another.

IMHO success looks like the user's agent/browser/phone/desktop saying "Please use this kind of quality of service profile for now, and send what's most relevant."

> it filter_maps them away, which, to be fair, is what I'd do too

Ok, I don't know much rust and I imagined filter_maps reported to the main app. If it is shallowing them, then to me it is a big + for C++ in that area. It seems I will have to agree to disagree here, but shallowing the error is not what I would do at all. This program has the possibility to give you a completely wrong result, and you would never know. You could use that result in other thing, say publish a study where you claim there were only 100 words in the files you processed but there were 1000 because your program crashed and didn't warn you.

> If you care about security, you abort a C program when allocation fails.

Well, that's why I personally prefer C++ and exceptions. They abort by default, let you handle if you want/can.

But I think my original point was lost. My complain was that this code wasn't checking at all for failure. Shouldn't it be something like:

if(!w->next)
w->next = calloc(1, sizeof(*w));

if (!w->next)
abort();

w = w->next;

I mean, in this particular case it will indeed blow up because when it goes back to the while(w->word) w will be null and you will reference a null pointer. But that's mostly luck, and might be not be true anymore if you make changes to the code in the future. If you care about security, you should check all allocs, and abort if null. And that's my beef with C: It shallows and continues instead of crashing or reporting when there is an error.

> but if the task is "count words in files", you're nuts if you do anything but blow up when malloc fails.

I won't disagree here, if the task is count words in files. I was just trying to explain why imo, not all "sane" programs should abort in failed malloc.
So what you are saying is that if we assumed that all particles, including light are magnetic, and everything that has a mass, emits a corresponding magnetic field with a strength relative to its mass, we could not form a similar theory of "general magnetic relativity" in which the frame of reference under magnetic fields would behave in a similar way it does for gravity?

That seems kinda odd. What exactly would provide this difference? How is magnetism different from gravity? Is it that gravity doesn't have a mass, but magnetic fields do?
Did you read that study? Or did you just read the first paragraph summary? I'm seriously asking. Because if you read that study...which is a SURVEY of 100 or so people..
you would clearly not be using that as your bulletproof evidence that masks work.

Did you just read the title?

"""At this point, arguing that masks don't work is absolutely taking the piss""'

Fanatical beliefs with no evidence?

I look at countries like Sweden and Norway and know that masks mandates don't work.
In my opinion, it's way harder (and riskier - screw it up and you can't boot, vs. login as a different user and fix it in the case of critical dir, or same user and fix it if not). The Arch Wiki pages are far longer and more off-putting than running whatever you want post-boot in PAM or even ad hoc or from systemd/.profile if it isn't home dir.

And what's the difference in what you're protecting that affects the average user? Why stop at FDE - they should be worried about cold-boot attacks too right!?
There could be some sort of hardcoded list of domains in the browser for this to happen (even if obfuscated), and if so, that should be rather easy to find... or it might be a complex combination of conditions leading to this, which is great evidence for the argument that browsers are becoming far too complex.
> preventing us from having greater delivery speed or agility to experiment with new features.

Seems like these people don't actually know what it is like to code (shocking, I know). The biggest factor preventing me from moving fast on the codebase I deal with at work is the non-existent design/poorly thought-out/non-ergonomic code base.
It seems more like jacques_chester means some countries have been pointing at Sweden's approach, using that as an excuse for "wishing away the pandemic".

Rather than meaning Sweden itself is doing so.

It’ll be interesting to see your design for AirPods based on inexpensive commodity parts. :)
None of these people have ever worked on a tiny electro-mechanical assembly that needs to happen on a monumental scale. It’s impossible to make this thing repairable without sacrificing size or it’s water resistance and more. I’ve worked in HVM and have a huge respect for people who make this possible. iPhone? Sure they could probably try making it repairable. It’s difficult though. I worked in a company that did competitive analysis of iPhone PCB. It’s insane. WLCSP and various CoWoS packages everywhere. Not a single mm^2 wasted. Apple Watch is the most amazing thing ever - we did cross sections and X-rays of the SoCs, lots of flat flex and hybrid PCB components, glue is king - companies like Nitto specialize in making glue for assembly. I can’t imagine how to make it repairable. It’s hard. I also wish things were repairable but then people will complain its not waterproof or whatever.

One of the things that I absolutely despise is the habit people have for consumer entitlement. People are assholes - just ask anyone who has worked in a call center or H&M cash register. General public is thankless and constantly complain about how much everything just sucks. It's almost like a passtime.

Unrelated thankless jobs: Imagine you’re an engineer working on Siri and the entire world makes fun of your work constantly. And it’s not your fault that Apple doesn’t collect insane amounts of data like Google does to make AI work. This is debatable.

Edit: let’s not talk about Siri. I’m sorry to bring it up, just had the thought come to my mind about it today when I watched Linus Tech Tips’s video about Siri. I was like damn, it must suck to be in that team. They’re just people like you and me.

The whole point of Chrome is to push the web ecosystem towards Google such that Google can exert more control over it.
That isn't Google, it's the phone and chip manufacturers. What really prevents the phones from being updated is that they publish neither open source drivers nor hardware documentation, and then ship blob drivers that only work with a specific kernel version. When that kernel version becomes outdated and the hardware maker doesn't make drivers for any newer one, it prevents newer versions of the OS from being installed on the older hardware.

Granted Google could probably lean on them a little harder to stop doing that.

Moreover, Apple does the same thing. They might give you longer than HTC, but they still stop issuing updates to perfectly operational devices, and don't publish the documentation necessary for anybody else to make an OS for them.

Compare this to PCs where you can still install the latest Windows or Linux on some piece of hardware that originally shipped with a CRT monitor and whose manufacturer went out of business a decade ago.
