I have found that planning for DIO from the start makes for a better, simpler design when designing storage systems, because it keeps the focus on logical/physical sector alignment, latent sector error handling, and caching from the beginning. And even better to design data layouts to work with block devices.

Retrofitting DIO onto a non-DIO design and doing this cross-platform is going to be more work, but I don't think that's the fault of DIO (when you're already building a database that is).
UK main stream tabloid media is painting this as covid, perhaps not exactly (use of commas and within), but knowingly inferring it was from covid, buried in the article is lung cancer, t2, and several other degenerative diseases. Getting sick of covid fear being spun. Slightly OT.

> I guess some pro palestinian posts may have strayed into the antisemitic territory?

My understanding is that any pro-palestinian posts can be labeled antisemitic under the IHRA/EUMC working definition of antisemitism (as adopted into UK law) if it any way singles out Israel for the oppression in a way not done for other states.

> “criticism of Israel similar to that levelled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic”

This to me seems vague and a point of likely disputed interpretations likely to have at the very least a chilling effect.

You don't just go to buy STRICTLY what you need today. You buy something like 10% over each time. Within several weeks of shopping you'll have a full fridge, heck, even a full pantry.

Then you only need to top up when you go each day. And I'm being generous, you can go every 2-3 days, even.

There are comfortable solution, you need two things:

1. An environment that helps (most European cities).

2. A bit of planning/flexibility/smarts.

If you don't have 1. you're dead in the water, from the start. If you don't have 2., well... get them :-)

I knew I had heard another version of this story, but it was about Charles Proteus Steinmetz. Found it on the smithsonian website.

Ford, whose electrical engineers couldn’t solve some problems they were having with a gigantic generator, called Steinmetz in to the plant. Upon arriving, Steinmetz rejected all assistance and asked only for a notebook, pencil and cot. According to Scott, Steinmetz listened to the generator and scribbled computations on the notepad for two straight days and nights. On the second night, he asked for a ladder, climbed up the generator and made a chalk mark on its side. Then he told Ford’s skeptical engineers to remove a plate at the mark and replace sixteen windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator performed to perfection.

Henry Ford was thrilled until he got an invoice from General Electric in the amount of $10,000. Ford acknowledged Steinmetz’s success but balked at the figure. He asked for an itemized bill.

Steinmetz, Scott wrote, responded personally to Ford’s request with the following:

Making chalk mark on generator $1.
Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Ford paid the bill.

There is really nothing quantum in this, you can simulate this completely classically, although it takes forever as it's a slow process, as you seen when you compare the timescale of the video in the seconds to the timescale the atoms move about, in the femtoseconds.

I'm not a salt nucleation expert by any means, but I'd imagine the process has a similar statistics as protein folding. Individual folding events (and nucleation events) are superfast but takes forever to trigger (a lot of stars have to align so to speak). This is why, from just looking at frames 1/25s apart, it looks like suddenly things appeared out of nothing, but really there were eons of time in between the frames in the video.

"You’ll track support for each party in each sector, moving wooden markers up and down the numerical tracks."

Unclear if this is discrete or indiscrete.

"Different sectors have different point spreads, reflecting their importance in the Victorian-era electorate."

Spread itself has discrete values, though maybe be representing something indiscrete.

"In this era, most British subjects didn’t have the right to vote, so the point spreads aren’t simply based on population distribution. They’re based on the number of voters..."

The indiscrete game world concept of unknown changing actual population, but a number of voters would be discrete.

"...and each sector’s overall impact on the election results, factoring in the value of campaign contributions, endorsements, and other means of influence."

Contributions value may be discrete, but endorsements and other means of influence I'm not sure about.

"As the game progresses, parties will reach maximum or minimum values in some sectors. These maximums and minimums affect the game’s strategy and evoke real-life political effects. No matter how strongly Scotland prefers one party over another, Scotland’s impact is limited by the number of voters in Scotland."

So, there are indiscrete things in game world represented, but it has a number of voters and that number itself would be discrete.

"The Conservative Party can also earn popularity points in the Workers sector, but can’t earn any red points there because Workers who support the Conservative Party prefer moderate MPs."

Seems like a calculable, discrete representation of the indiscrete.

Functionally it appears as a digital computer from the outside of the game, because of the point values.

But the point is that the game represents calculations happening in that game world with indiscrete variables like "variable support from unknown population", hence the "analog computer inside..." in the title.

Would a dying person be able to set up a trust fund or a bank account/investment that would "live on" when they die. Issue I see here is that the law does not recognize "crypreservation" as continuation of life so all your assets are probably inherited.

I'm sure cryo companies offer this type of safekeeping of money or investment.

Part of the pleasure is simply going there and shuffling through books. I think many of us will have such fond memories as children.

Instead we now promote all possible services to the doorstep. Delivery people get paid minimum wage doing this kind of ship. Customers don’t even see the cost accumulated of all those delivery services.

All this so that everyone stays at home and never ever meet people living next door, or even worse, stand in a line for two minutes to checkout books and have to go through the purgatory of smiling to the librarians working there.

I saw you wrote that you don't think the network is your problem, but it could be. The 1300mbps and UniFI makes me think you are using a wireless connection, and those often deliver much lower bandwidth than they should, and always have more latency than I expect.

Use a wired 1Gbps connection. If it works acceptably -- which it has in every single setting I've tried -- then it is your network, though it might not be where you usually look (e.g. speedtest measures your overall bandwidth, but if you have many retransmits, you might have horrible interactive experience even with sufficient bandwidth).

> The problem isn't so much the fuel, it's the ancient piston aircraft (or at least, ancient engine designs) that are still kicking around.

Yes, that's my understanding too. Aviation piston engines are stuck in 1950, largely because more stringent regulations have made it more expensive to develop new engines vs. keeping producing largely existing engine designs grandfathered in, and also because the market is pretty small.

> There are modern piston aircraft engines that not only run fine on unleaded fuel [1], but are even certified to run on standard automotive fuel ("Mogas"). There are videos on YouTube of pilots landing on remote highways and pulling up to regular gas station pumps to refuel their aircraft!

AFAIK the usefulness of this has been reduced, due to a lot of automotive gas containing ethanol. The engine itself might work fine with an ethanol blend, but the fuel system (bladders, lines, etc.) might not. There is apparently also a fear of vapor lock or other trouble if the ethanol and the rest of the fuel separate in the tank.

That is interesting, because in my experience trainers and weight lifters tell you the opposite. I have been told to start with light weights and to slowly progress, even if I could have started with heavier weights and would have seen results more quickly.

This is because that way it is healthier in the long term. The goal isn't to be able to lift a lot in a short period of training time. It is usually to consistenly stay healthy going forward.

But again, that's just my experience. I disagree with you anyway, I even think it would benefit the workforce if there was a third "weekend" day. I think that that would reduce stress and thus increase productivity.

In principle I like Java but there are a few minor details that just make it not worth dealing with it. Getters and setters are incredibly annoying. There are lots of crazy things going on in the JEE ecosystem. The latter is a big deal when you accept an average "Java job".

If you were to give it a small facelift I wouldn't have to worry about all the tiny flaws that add up. I don't really need Kotlin, Scala or dead JVM language x. Just a slightly better Java.

There are GCs that take this approach (refcount + sweeps to break cycles). It has tradeoffs however.

- Extra space for every object to have a refcount

- Extra refcount bookkeeping every time you (re)assign a reference (possibly triggering cache thrashing/false sharing in some multithreaded scenarios), xchgs instead of movs, etc.

- Pointless if you're using bump allocators (they can't reuse the 'freed' memory until the next GC cycle compacts memory anyways), so you're forced to use more complicated allocator designs if you're to reuse said memory.

Cycles mean it still doesn't give you 100% deterministic object destruction either, so you want extra mechanisms for disposing unmanaged resources at controlled times ala IDisposable anyways.

Cryonics (I'm signed up with Alcor) can reduce the measure of you being tortured. Assume a multiverse where some versions of you are going to be tortured for a long time. If you sign up for cryonics, if you get brought back most likely you won't get tortured and so this might reduce the percent of you across the multiverse that is not being tortured.
Also Tesla’s are in the $40-$50k range now.
Also, most commercial games are "high maintenance" now. They take a long time to start, a long time to go through menus and options, and in many cases the "significant" gameplay is interleaved with dialogue, cut-scenes, tutorial, grind, fedex quests, etc... which is opposed to the old-school or indie experience of jumping into play and being challenged pretty fast.

... So going through all those motions is OK for great games... but unbearable for those not up to par. I could spend some time playing a not-so-great indie plataformer, but open world action rpgs and the like must be top notch or they're painful to play.
While it's great that you are enjoying it, I can't help but feel that an increase in responsability should come with a small pay bump.
Interesting criteria, as I had 'enable' on AS701 among several others for a few years, and understand where the article is coming from. I do think the smart bet would be on divergence before change.

The article is full of chortle worthy bits like this one: [..] In his interview with Newcomer, Rabois gives some insight into what Suarez might be putting on the table. He and his partner are having kids. “I went to public schools; I’d prefer my kids go to public schools. In San Francisco that’s not possible, there’s not a public school that’s reasonable. … I discussed this with the mayor once I got here—not before—and I think we’ll find some public support for building a science-based, engineering-based curriculum into the public schools.” Newcomer’s gloss on their conversation: “There’s definitely an insane level of rich-person hubris that within a month of moving to a new city, you’re asking the mayor to change the public school curriculum for your future children.”[..]

They want a high octane unleaded fuel, that also otherwise largely matches the existing fuel (viscosity, density, vapor pressure profile etc.).

I don't specifically know what's wrong with xylene, but IIRC aromatics in general produce a lot of soot (PAH and other nasty carcinogens), which is why they've been steadily reducing the maximum allowable content in automotive gas.
