What's most interesting to me is that I never grok a piece of physics without understanding the math (maybe Newtonian mechanics is a gimme because of the way our brains are built), but the math is also rarely part of the "intuition" of things, which is what i strive for in learning.

I think this is where people really get into trouble with QM. The physical reality of it is so strange and counterintuitive, that maybe the average brain intuits that the math can't possibly make sense either.

When i took quantum in college, i knew i wasnt really "getting it" like others in my class. Yes, i could describe the results of a slit experiment, or in what ways wave-particle duality is a thing, but my brain never opened that "Aha!" gate that it had so many times before.

In retrospect, I can say that my unfamiliarity with more advanced algebra and a lack of understanding of math in a more set-theoretical way held me back. As i would move into calculation, i understood in theory how to do the calculus and such, but my brain kept nagging at me with "yeah, but you dont understand why the integral is this way", which would stymie further progress.

I found that a big "aha" moment came when i finally understood the relationship between matrices, vector spaces, operators, and functions in the infinite-dimensional case (or even the finite one really). I think i understand now that my difficulty in learning it before was based on my misunderstanding of the difference between representing functions as a formula vs their representation as a vector. I was confused about why you'd need infinite information in a vector to describe something like y=cos(x) which is clearly a finite representation. The answer is that the 'named' functions and simple polynomials you're used to dealing with are represented by infinite vectors...with almost all coefficients as zero.

I think was only able to get to this place of (still limited) understanding by putting the QM book down and immersing myself in set theory. In my opinion, we do kids a disservice by not introducing abstract algebra earlier. It would be helpful i think to maybe throw some of that into Precalc, even if its only some basics about the concepts of sets and maps between them.
If you are looking for an open source solution, it is definitely the 800 lb gorilla.

If you are looking for a commercial solution, I would say that the top competitors are Okta, Auth0, Azure AD, and Firebase (though the latter, from what I've heard, doesn't play nicely with standards).
A particularly motivated programmer might create a language called MOVA.

Although this isn't the way I travel, I agree we shouldn't put down other travel styles. For some people the pleasure of travel comes from merely being in a foreign place.

It's rather ironic - the whole indoor growing started out only because of the illegality, but now even in the places it's legal, it's still being done that way.
I've found that using use-package in my init.el to manage, install and customize my packages helps me run a reasonably similar emacs setup across my Linux and Windows computers. I use git to synchronise it across systems.

(use-package wordnut
:ensure t ;; install package if it doesn't exist
:config
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c w") 'wordnut-search))

If I want a package to only load on Linux or windows, I can do it so:

(use-package xclip
:if (eq system-type 'gnu/linux)
:ensure t
:config
(xclip-mode 1))

(use-package w32-browser
:if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
:ensure t)
I hope companies will realize that it is all smoke and mirrors organized by the big ad techs and the efficiency of ads is far from what they announce... They are the only ones that win in that scheme, users are victims and companies buying ads are complicit... I'm also really annoyed it pervaded podcasts and videos so much, it become harder amd harder to do the difference between poorly paid actors (whose purpose of the video is first to show ads and then content) and genuine video makers...
"The company, for its part, promised the Wall Street Journal that it was defaulting to this new setting because “many say they prefer more relevant ads,”

I wonder how "many" actually reach out to carriers to say things like this?

All the robocalls are my biggest concern for example. Reaching out to the carrier about more relevant ads is not fathomable to me.
No, a nomination by the president is not the same as being in the public hands.

Also, 14 year terms makes them pretty unaccountable to anyone even the presidents who nominated them, much less to citizens.
I don't want creativity, I want functionality.

I want ugly buttons with clear text on them.

What I definitely don't want is four almost identical icons with nothing to tell me what any of them do, or swipe gestures that are impossible to discover, or (the worst) swipe gestures that expose icons.

And then, the absolute worst of all, the useless "upgrade" that offers zero additional functionality, but changes the location or design of all the icons of an app that you've already learned.

some of those SaaS products aren't "ORM"s and don't make sense to use SQL. Splunk is a good example. arguably it's not SaaS either (looks at massive server stacks full of splunky-town hosts)
Definitely dynamic dispatch + async brings out a lot of pain points.

But I only agree that the async part of that is unfortunate. Making dynamic dispatch have a little extra friction is a feature, not a bug, so to speak. Rust's raison d'être is "zero cost abstraction" and to be a systems language that should be viable in the same spaces as C++. Heap allocating needs to be explicit, just like in C and C++.

But, I agree that async is really unergonomic once you go beyond the most trivial examples (some of which the article doesn't even cover).

Some of it is the choices made around the async/await design (The Futures, themselves, and the "async model" is fine, IMO).

But the async syntax falls REALLY flat when you want an async trait method (because of a combination-and-overlap of no-HKTs, no-GATs, no `impl Trait` syntax for trait methods) or an async destructor (which isn't a huge deal- I think you can just use future::executor::block_on() and/or use something like the defer-drop crate for expensive drops).

Then it's compounded by the fact that Rust has these "implicit" traits that are usually implemented automatically, like Send, Sync, Unpin. It's great until you write a bunch of code that compiles just fine in the module, but you go to plug it in to some other code and realize that you actually needed it to be Send and it's not. Crap- gotta go back and massage it until it's Send or Unpin or whatever.

Some of these things will improve (GATs are coming), but I think that Rust kind of did itself a disservice with stabilizing the async/await stuff, because now they'll never be able to break it and the Pin/Unpin FUD makes me nervous. I also think that Rust should have embraced HKTs/Monads even though it's a big can of worms and invites Rust devs to turn into Scala/Haskell weenies (said with love because I'm one of them).

This seems unlikely. CDs don't have physical sectors. But they do have generous error correction, with cross-interleaved versions of the data combined with parity spread out along the "groove".

The rule of thumb is that error correction can compensate for gaps of up to 2.4mm. So if a hole is smaller a CD should be able to cope.
US is massive and road trips are boring because you're just in the middle of nowhere for the vast majority of it. But I grew up in the US, so maybe it's less boring for a foreigner.

The entirety of the US is extremely safe. You can probably find trouble in extremely specific neighborhoods of large cities but you'd never find your way to those places as a tourist.

Roads to avoid is a funny question. Country is huge. My general advice is don't drive at night outside of cities. There are deer everywhere and they will total your car, land you in the hospital, and end your trip. I had it happen to me once and now I plan my road trips to never travel at night. Plus it's dark and you can't see anything and you're missing the point of the road trip at that point.

Driving state to state isn't a problem. There's rarely a stop at state borders and when there is they're only there to regulate commercial trucking.

My advice is to pick a few cities and fly between them. Pick cities you can get around in without renting a car. You're not missing much by taking an 7 hour flight instead of a 5 day drive.
I wish companies won't update each year their products and add some small design change that makes it hard to reuse parts from older models.
According to a quick search, Thailand is #5 in road deaths per capita. So I don't think they fare very well.

But your anecdote reminded me of what the instructors in my driving school used to tell us (20 years ago..I'm old..)
- whenever you sit into the driver's seat, your left buttcheek is actually sitting in jail and your right buttcheek is laying in a morgue. Drive accordingly.
- everyone else on the road is a psychopath that's out there to kill you. Drive accordingly.

That was of course mostly meant to calm down a bunch of 18 year olds who were eager to drive, but I think the basic premise of "don't even forget that driving is really, really dangerous" is correct.
Well, you can use https://docs.rs/async-std/1.9.0/async_std/task/fn.spawn_bloc...

But this is partly the reason why libraries might be more inclined to support async rather than blocking calls.
This kind of stuff is how government “incentives” end up essentially banning devices with such fancy parts because the companies will realize complying would be taking a loss so they just stop participating.

The letters correspond. From the perspective of Russian, you can't know the pronunciation without knowing which syllable is stressed. Ова will be pronounced "ova" if the first syllable is stressed, but "ava" if the second is.

Most modern-day approaches to spelling foreign words aren't concerned with whether the spelling suggests anything close to the correct pronunciation. They concern themselves more, as here, with whether there is a system that suggests an "official" spelling.

Compare how Chinese immigrants in the 19th century might get names like 王 Wong, 李 Lee, or 魯 Loo, whereas Chinese immigrants today have names like 王 Wang, 李 Li, or 鲁 Lu.
> some weird quirk, spelling or grammar issue, layout problem

I don't dock points for layout issues (unless they say they have experience in front-end work...), but spelling and grammar is exactly what you should be getting right in an resume. I don't meant to say I would be unreasonable pedant about the use of prepositions, and I'd probably overlook an MS Office autocorrect (like how Excel always changes "HSA" to "HAS", grrr) - and small mistakes must never invalidate someone immediately - but it means I'm going to be in the session with a dim view of the candidate until and unless they demonstrate otherwise.

That said, recruiters and agencies do edit resumes - so if something seems off with a resume (e.g. "20 years experience with Rust") then I do have a policy of directly contacting the candidate with the resume attached and asking them to verify that this is the resume they wrote. It's also why I sign my own resume PDF with my AATL certificate and mention that fact when I get to contact the hiring manager (e.g. "oh hey, did you have a chance review my signed resume? if it wasn't a signed PDF please let me know, thanks!)
The comment was about thyroid diseases, not birth defects.
Thyroid carcinoma is linked to radiation exposure.

There are also studies related to increased birth defect rates, but it's harder to conclude anything there, as birth defects can be caused by alcohol consumption, malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies.
Setting cookies like that is a pretty standard SSO technique for the web as far as I know.

I can think of a lot of big differences. For one you can get much larger machines at OVH and Hetzner with fancy storage configurations for your database if desired (e.g. Optane for your indices, magnetic drives for your transaction log, and raided SSDs for the tables)

They also don't charge for bandwidth, although some of those other providers have a generous free bandwidth and cheap overage.
I felt this too, I wonder if this has a name. NYC is crazy aggressive, but I felt pretty safe, everyone was paying attention. In DC some people want to drive as aggressively as in NYC, but they don't pay attention, or at least most drivers don't. The result is that I felt much safer in NYC than in DC, even though it's much more congested.
Never knew it was a Dutch invention!
this looks like quack bullshit - I'd be very careful what to believe. Just look at page 6 that makes some arbitrary calculations and the bold headline. I'd skip that as evidence.
You probably meant SQL injection, not dependency injection
I wouldn't get an office job, I have worked in restaurants and similar, those colleagues are way more fun. Could be fun to try being a salaryman, but it's probably much harder, need work permits etc.

For that matter, I wouldn't get one here either, if I could earn the same as I do know as a sous chef I'd quit in a heartbeat...
I wish there were a way to pin/lock the version of dependencies. Each time I update all packages something new breaks, and I have to spend time tracking it down and fixing or reverting it. So I've just been syncing my entire .emacs.d folder.

Same with frontend, I give a very rough wireframe trying to translate wtf they are telling me. The end result usually looks very different because once you flesh stuff out IRL there is always a bunch of hills to climb that were unanticipated. And that’s why it always takes 2-3x longer than we first thought.

Especially in a large application with lots of moving and breakable critical parts.

The only solution is constant feedback loops and not being bummed out when your code goes in the dustbin.
Most of the reported “finishing off” incidents happened in Taiwan, actually. However, I’m sure it happens in the mainland as well.

I’ve seen a taxi hit a girl riding a bike through a red light in Beijing. You never really forget the thunk. I’ve also seen a car’s tires all pop off on a ring road in the middle of the night while going 120kph or so (I’m guessing a bad mod job).

Still, pedestrians and other cars doing weird crap is just so common that everyone is expecting it. It is definitely dangerous to be a pedestrian even if you are following the rules, but trying to cross four lanes of traffic without a light or crosswalk doesn’t help. Still, the fact that most people do it and it’s considered normal means all the driver’s are on edge and paying deep attention.
One advantage vinyl has is that it is often mastered better. Music mastered for CDs often has a much lower dynamic range because otherwise it would be impossible to listen to over the sound of the road etc. in a car.

The obvious answer for this is to release a different mastering in a digital format, but that's not cool and hipstery enough so instead vinyl made a comeback.

I want to love org-mode, but I made the early mistake of trying to export some of my data in a coherent format. It seems okay for keeping organized, but it's a disaster as an archive or a publishing platform, in no small part because of the workflow issues you mentioned.

She will move here with me when she finishes high school (currently lives with her mom).

This kind of life is not really compatible for younger children unless you have the funds to travel with them and can home school them as you go.

I try to maintain at least 3 permanent or semi-permanent bases in 3 countries but that’s now down to 2 because of the pandemic.

Yes, it’s good to have a few anchor cities where you put down some roots and make good local friends - they can help you settle in. A bunch of fellow tourists or expats are not deep in the culture and will not be of great help which is why I don’t pal around with them.

It’s quite easy to start a business in other countries if you have local friends to point you in the right directions and translate for you. Another reason not to hang around other tourists. And that will diversify your income - not every business needs to be online.

No one knows how the world will turn out in the next few years, so I believe in hedging my bets and having options both in income and second and tertiary places to potentially live if needs be.

Sort of like a prepper - but international.

The "gas" is more like a fog of capsules. FM-200 is a common one. Basically it has a Fire suppression agent inside crystals which are blasted into the room by compressed air. These crystals melt when they get over a certain temperature and therefore won't kill you; however, breathing that in isn't really pleasant.

Dealing with applicants who don't know what they are doing is hard, but trying to trick people is disingenuous and I personally would avoid any application that involves any trickery.

Also sometimes an internal or esoteric tool gets listed in the application, you never really know! The people who write the job description also sometimes make typos and mistakes.
Try Doom emacs (lots of sane defaults) plus vc repo with hostname dependent config (so email or use specific things don't spill).
If warp drives actually are feasible (either sub or super liminal), that'd be great. However, it seems to me that it's much more likely we'll travel between stars as digitized minds that are recorporialized at the destination.
"There should be a 30 year moratorium on inventing new query languages."

That! Totally agree!
TBF "data" here means the state of the gameworld which anyway resets entirely every 2 weeks or every month, so it's not exactly a big deal, everyone constantly start over in Rust.
I haven't worked with a recruiter, so this is pure speculation, but it seems to me that a recruiter's greatest incentive would be to close any deal at all as quickly as possible, because they're competing against the alternative of you finding a position on your own first (or otherwise no longer requiring their services). Getting you a high salary is just gravy.

If that's really the case, pumping it out sounds like a fool's errand, because it'll just run out. Either that or it's so vast that consumption by millions of people doesn't make a dent in the overall water level.

Louis Rossmann did a video tearing apart France's recent implementation of this from the perspective of an Apple repair technician. Despite serialized parts, soldered/glued components, and no available schematics, the MacBook Pro got a pretty good repair-ability score (7/10) because it was easy to open the chassis. Meanwhile, Apple certified repair partners (repair professionals, in theory) are so handicapped by the company that they can basically only replace screens and batteries.

And to be fair, I wouldn’t have found the relational model without SQL. I wish it were more common to write about both in SQL tutorials and such, but I understand the motivation to write about what people can do with an implementation rather than the mathematical and logical underpinnings.
I second this. Withoutboats has done some incredible work for Rust.
