The idea so far is to allow any user to see all the information about "Possible Names" and "Reference Systems" for free.

But if the user wants to go deeper and know more about a component (e.g. Anatomy, Html structure, Figma & Sketch structure, etc) we're considering charge a yearly fee.

Actually, we don't know the exact price, because we didn't have in mind to charge, but we realize this project consumes us a lot of time going through every reference system, gathering all the good practices, synthesizing the information, etc.
I assume this is a counterpoint to my Banana example? It still depends on your language. Maybe this is ok! I wasn't clear on whether I meant it being in the human readable page, or the raw text of the page, but maybe either is sufficient for this contrived hypothetical.

There are definitely cases like this where you have to be careful, but my point still stands that it's important to understand the language you are parsing, and the fact that it might be a regular language. Hell, it could even be Turing complete and then you're out of luck!

This is amazing for self-learners. Free textbook, free lecture videos, free solutions. I bought a hard copy of this book when I first came across this resource.

This is really outstanding because most textbooks do not contain full solutions and it can be difficult for self-learners without access to universities, tutors, peers to debug errors or check their work. If such a student ever got stuck, then it could be hard to move forward. One solution is to use sites like Math Stack Exchange, but I can imagine it would be tedious to do multiple proofs every chapter and type every single one of them up for someone to check. Some would argue that if your solution is correct then you should be able to rigorously justify each step and you should “know” in the end of its right. Beginners often don’t have the mathematical maturity developed to do this yet and even experts make mistakes in their proofs.

If you had a question, then I could see scenarios where the question would be closed on sites like MSE for being duplicates or some odd thing that didn’t satisfy some sort of rule somewhere. These are more barriers for the self-learners that those in classrooms don’t necessary face and textbooks are typically written for those that access to professors.

I think more math textbooks should be written this way.

> It goes over my head a bit exactly why (related to POSIX lock mechanisms?) but sqlite doesn't work reliable on NFS/ceph/gluster/networked filesystems, even when only accessed from a single host, distributed or not.

> https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/4b340b81eb

I don't see anything in that forum thread which says SQLite is unreliable on sufficiently POSIX-ish network filesystems. Single host or not.

The linked post says it will be slower to commit write transactions than is possible using other methods, but I don't see anything there saying it's unreliable.

(What looks unreliable to me is Joelmo's proposal to remove the WAL lock for better performance. But the lock is there for a reliability reason, you can't just remove it. To get the boost in performance Joelmo would like requires significantly different techniques.)

Twitter run t.co so they know where the redirect goes without actually asking t.co. So they can preconnect to the target domain as well. And that's where they goofed up (I mean, apart from preconnecting to all these domains in the first place).

I think, that doesn't do Spain totally justice, or maybe it depends on the region. Not to say that you are wrong, and a lot certainly can be improved, but a couple of things that impressed me (not being from Spain):

- Use of x.509 user certificates to access many government services online.
- Getting a government ID right away at the appointment (from the police of all places)
- FTTH 600Mbit/s symmetrical. Three days after ordering it.
- Digital health record (At least in some regions)

But then, Spain has also some of the poorest regions of Europe. And from what I heard, aristocrats own large areas of land.

And it's not some mantra or "special thing" really - just get dressed so that you're not wet or cold and you can enjoy the environment no matter what the weather is.

Warm gloves, waterproof boots/shoes, warm upper body clothes primarily. That's it. I find it nicer to focus on layers on the upper body since it's easier to add/remove according to activity etc, than lower body, and it'll affect the lower body temps more than warming the lower body will affect the upper body.
You'd need to use a unique domain for it though.

That might be why they don't add the subdomain, because adding a unique subdomain to track a user. is free and a domain isn't.

Don't treat your home as an "investment" is probably the best advice: simply a nice place in nice location that you want to spend the next decade or so, and move on with life.

Any gains you see financially will be decades down the road when (a) you don't have rent to pay after the mortgage is paid off†, or (b) you can no longer live independently and sell it to pay for an old-age home.

† But taxes and maintenance still exist.
> Twitter redirects links through its t.co link-shortening service. It was once a useful addition to its service as it helped people stay underneath the strict character limits. The link shortener reduced all links to 23 characters. Twitter gains some more data-insights about its users in the form of click-stream data and insight into popular links.

The t.co link also helps them block URLs that they deem problematic on their platform - in the event of spam, attack, or abuse, the redirect can instead be a black hole.

Which engineers to trust? The ones saying Y2K needed billions of investment or cars all crash with planes falling from the sky as we usher in the post-technology age Jan 1, 2000. Remember that? Some people still believe them that we headed it off successfully, everywhere on earth in every industry, regardless of how little was spent, including nothing at all...

You can't trust engineers anymore than you can trust lawyers (which lawyers?) or Doctors (Second opinions ever much?) Or indeed scientists, managers and politicians. The question to ask is "Do you have good reason to find this convincing."

When what is at stake has sufficient value proving the obvious is indeed, also correct, beyond doubt has very real benefits.
Even if you configure it carefully, you have the limit of: your db connection capacity < app servers X max internal pool size.

Every time you add another instance, you're not adding a "happy path number" of connections. You're adding up to the internal max, because at some point you will get spammed with real or bot traffic.

It's easier to aggregate the connections than carefully balance that setup every time you make infra changes or scale up. And you need some headroom for "oh, this point release of the library spawns a thread now and gets its own connection pool... oops".

The nice thing about Texas is you get the double whammy of a zero personal income tax AND a very wealthy state (extremely well funded public uni system, largest sovereign wealth fund of any state).

Heh, even Microsoft SMB provides some level of coherency guarantee combined with performance, using its read and write leases. NFSv4 has a similar concept. It's an old idea by now.

I actually don't know of any distributed (multi-master, fully replicated) filesystems that are published with this property. I only know it's possible because I designed one that isn't published.

The basic principle is similar to CPU MESI caching but with predicate-scopes suited to a filesystem rather than cache lines. (Predicate-scopes are similar to predicate-locks in databases). As you know, multi-core CPU systems remain fast despite sharing memory, incurring significant overhead only for the changes that need to be communicated between cores. Same applies on a network.

> Transcoding doesn't make much of a difference either.

I respectfully disagree. Transcoding does make an audible difference, at the bitrates typically used, and should have no place in "high fidelity" audio. My issue with these Bluetooth codecs is that they are not used at the sources and so will always be used in practice for transcoding.

Twitter is so full of weird connectivity bugs.

For the last weeks until a few days ago I've been unable to access twitter unless doing a hard refresh on every click. Because they installed a faulty service worker of some kind that would break most of the requests. (Both on desktop and android)

And on Android, every time I follow a link to Twitter in an app that opens in a web view, it gives me a faulty page that I have to refresh a few times before I'm able to view it. It loads the page fine, but some rest call or whatever to fetch the tweet crashes.

Edit: Not heard many others complain about this before, so mainly thought it was something about my setup. But the huge amount of upvotes this got suggests some Twitter engineers better look into this..

I know most people don’t know the difference, and it would generally be a bad idea to have your www not redirect to the bare domain (or vice versa), but personally I prefer when we don’t hide these things. Just a bit of pedantic correctness, I guess.

> I can’t look at older versions of Twitter, as its pages don’t work well in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

Now this really gets to me.
That sounds deeply unfortunate. For future reference, if you're on that much of a time constraint, you'll run into issues with a lot of American cities even in the Northeast if you try to cut it close via train (my experiences have been with NYC Penn -- YMMV). For the sake of argument, I am pretty sure natives would have given you the ol' caveat emptor and told you to just take a car/taxi, and I think that's usually your strongest option in that situation.

Otherwise, you're relying on a dependency chain that's out of your control -- ticket machines, multiple trains having both availability and uptime. I get a little confused when you get to the part about Greyhounds and the Megabus. Why not rent a car or take an uber at that point? Sure, it's expensive, but at a certain point, it's worth considering how much your peace of mind is worth.

If you think about it, pretty much everyone learns math through example first. You learn arithmetic in elementary school, and it might only be after an additional decade or more of schooling that you actually learn the logical underpinnings which make the basic arithmetic operations work. If you actually started with boolean logic and tried to build up all of mathematics from there without at some point tying it back to a tangible example which can be understood in terms of the real world I'm not sure anyone could successfully learn it.

Could programmable AI chips compete with Graphics Cards and TPUs or is it futile to try?
You're right, just using the wrong terms. The baby's weight is fixed at mass * gravity, it doesn't change. What changes is the force required to accelerate the baby upwards, which is the delta between the force of gravity (the baby's weight) and any upward forces opposing that gravity. So if the baby pushes upward with it's feet to help you, you have to exert less force to lift the baby.

Scientifically speaking, the weight of an object cannot change unless gravity changes or it's mass changes. The forces required to accelerate that object in a particular direction vary wildly based on all kinds of things that exert a force on the object.

Off topic, but that does make me curious how "weight" works in an environment where you're exposed to more than one gravitational field. Like if you're close enough to two black holes to be affected by the gravity from both.

No, the majority of migrants subject to removal have not entered the country illegally.

Most enter legally, and then something happens which changes that.

For some it's government maladministration. Outside their control. This happens a lot. I think that's inhumane because it's outside their control and they don't have the money or legal backing to fight it, and because the system does not apply ordinary principles of justice to resolve these issues.

For some, it's abuse by government. That is, something just plain illegal by the government, not a mistake but an intentional administrative action which is against the law. Again, I think that's inhumane because most people don't have the money or legal backing to fight.

For some it's that their partner's wage drops below a threshold. Outside their control. I think that's inhumane because once you are in and settled and started a family etc. you should not be so precarious that a slight change in your partner's income results in you having to leave.

Think of the number of people during the pandemic whose income has reduced. Now imagine the added stress of facing deportation on a plane because your partner's income dropped.

For some it's losing their job. Outside their control. I think that's inhumane because it's a breeding ground for abuse by their employer: "if you don't do whatever we tell you and suck it up, we will fire you and you will have to leave your family and the country".

For some it's their partner dumping them. Outside their control. I think that's inhumane because it's a breeding ground for abuse by their partner: "if you don't do whatever nasty things I demand you do for me I will dump you and you will have to leave your job and the country".

For some they never entered - they were born in the country. They are legal until age 18, at which point they lose rights.

I think it's inhumane to remove someone who is born and bred in a country, and who doesn't even know something will happen until at the age of 18 or so, they apply to university, and find out not only can they not go, they get a letter telling them to leave the only place they have ever known. Go "home"... where? There isn't another "home".
