Yes, it's not the fastest ssg; there's Zola for that. However, digging git history with `git log --follow` can take a moment, and the MathJaX server-side rendering takes 10 seconds on a math-heavy site. However, incremental builds are the default, and a full-rebuild is seldom necessary. What makes it beautiful is the following:

1. You don't have a metadata header, like in most SSGs; timestamp is picked out from git-history, and topics/subtopics is simply picked out from the folder structure.

2. The syntax is terse, and features like un-numbered lists is excluded on purpose, because mathematicians like to number or letter everything.

3. The implementation of claytext is simple. There is no complicated markdown-processing, and even hard-wrapped lines are not allowed.

4. There's a dedicated vscode extension for auto-completing MathJaX. It also triggers a build-on-save, so you can just save changes in vscode and refresh the browser to see the changes.

5. Server-side rendering of math, so that the client isn't burdened with executing heavy javascript. It actually uses a custom fork of XyJaX to achieve this for commutative diagrams.

My dad was lucky enough to die in his own bed with my Mum holding one hand and me the other. The last several months he was on morphine for the pain, but overall it is hard to see how it could have gone better (if it was going to happen of course - he didn't have as long with the grandkids as we would have wished).

I am also reminded of this book "Final Chapters: A Hospice Social Worker’s Stories of Courage, Heart and Power" which I found very insightful.
We'll get to 256 core server chips and that will be the end of the line. You are forgetting that the advertised version number denoted by nm is about what size a theoretical planar transistor would need to have to be equivalent to the advertised process.

Since that number is purely theoretical, we can construct a theoretical scenario in which its theoretical nature would become absolutely obvious. Take a 7nm process node transistor and stack it 100 times. Such a process would be called a 0.07nm process.

I monitor closely my Internet connection (since I serve stuff on it, and also because why not) and I saw my IP changing and wandering throughout the Ile-de-France. I would say that the changes are every 6 months or so (since one of my domain is with Gandi I had to write a checker and change the assignment through their API)
Thanks for your point of view!
There are no Nazi free speech absolutists, even if some Nazis pretend they are for pragmatic reasons. Freedom of speech is not valued highly in fascist belief systems relative to nationalism, social cohesion, etc.

That's rather the point, though. There are many who hold it essential to defend free speech for Nazis, even though Nazis would remove their freedom to speak. If you balk at that thought, then you don't support free speech at all, just speech within your personal boundaries of acceptability.
I totally disagree that people intuitively understand Plato's cave (which is what Feynman is referring to). Simply listen to the arguments in support of things like the flat Earth and you will hear people explicitly referring to what they see as being reality instead of the scientific process of discovery. This quote is a gross over simplification of what epistemology is and takes for granted a lot of thinking which goes hand in hand with a scientific education. If we don't have people exploring what we know and why we know it, the foundation is able to be undercut by people with "intuition" contradicting what a scientist says.
During Canada's transition to metric in the 1970's a lady called into the local radio station's call in program.

Phosphate industry waste water has a pH of 1.5-2. The ponds are sterile and a lovely azure despite what Google Maps shows. Nothing grows on their banks naturally, though with substantial remediation over a couple of decades, it's possible to surround the pond with a ring of pines and grass...this is the Florida phosphate industry's "land and lakes" program.

From time to time Florida developers have built housing developments on "land and lakes" tracts. It usually ends badly because the ground is unstable (still settling after all being mined), though post-tensioned prestressed concrete slab foundations can be used to reduce cracking (but not eventually uneven floors).

In my experience with phosphate industry sludge ponds, nothing much grows. I just looked at aerials from a tract southeast of Bartow that was under consideration for development in 1997. It had been out of service for almost twenty years back then. The ponds are no longer obviously toxic, but there is still does not appear to be normal Florida native vegetation along any of the shorelines.

Not surprising given how acidic phosphate sludge water is.

The fact that sea water can be stored in the leaking stacks over in Manatee county speaks to how sterile they are. The salinity of seawater is deadly to typical terrestrial plants.
Indeed. The fact is that coal energy externalities have been ignored, artificially depressing the cost. Increasing the cost of a product to reflect those externalities is not a "blow to the industry", but rather the first time in history coal's price will reflect its externalities.

Nope, it's not a great time to be a coal-miner, but I hear Biden is trying to spend $4T on infrastructure so maybe some of those miners can buy a truck and form a road maintenance company instead!

It's covering for a complete lack of knowledge in the subject matter, which is painfully obvious from reading that tripe

What do you mean?

My claim is that "free speech absolutism" is more consistently used to protect the rights of those belonging to traditional power structures than the rights of the downtrodden. I am skeptical of it as a viable ideology when there are populations who enjoy the benefit of this ideology who'd waste no time throwing me in prison if they were granted a legislative majority.

This is why I don't find examples of historically oppressed groups (Jewish people) defending the rights of historically powerful groups (white supremacists) to be a compelling argument that free speech absolutism will actually protect my rights if it came to that.

Beyond that, tmux is (for me and probably many others) critical software used constantly when SSH'ing into many different boxes. Different boxes running different versions of tmux.

But where exactly?

People with unimpeachable credentials are still human beings with flaws like all of us.

This is about the removal of a listing, i.e. it is all about considerations regarding the public image and does not have anything to do with the project's current day-to-day work. Is this true or not?

It also coincides with a campaign against Richard Stallman which is built around an open letter. It turns out that that letter contains several blatant lies and there is no way around the fact. Every single person or organization that signed that letter is (unintentionally or not) supporting these lies because, well, they put their signature on them. I am finding this really hard to swallow.

Sane discussion within the community to get some things straight is probably too time-consuming and fussy, so it was probably easier to just remove a listing and throw some generic reassuring copypasta at the end.
> Note that this is aligned with the metric scale because that's what I've grown up with and hence what I've tied my intuitions to.

That's a bit unfair. You're coming from Celsius. If someone we're coming from Farenheit, they could round your scale to the nearest tens then complain how Celsius's fractions are so arbitrary for these cutoffs. (Not including your boiling water references since this is about weather.)

It's not the radioactivity, it's the pH of 1.5-2. It kills most organisms quickly. There's no long term for long term radiation effects to manifest.
Baseload tends to be about 40% of max load in most grids. i.e. having base production doesn't really change the economics of storage or over-provisioning etc. On the other hand because there is always, in this theoretical grid 60% overproduction potential your base load has real difficulty making money about 1/3rd of the time.

Baseload, is really minimal load in the grid. There are many ways to produce the minimal amount. Real difficult part is to provide the max load demand on the grid.

Basically current nuclear technology is inflexible in economic terms (also quite a bit in practical terms), shown historically by most grid storage being deployed when nuclear was being built out.
Nice! A tree!
I would say technically the point of a prediction market is to predict things in advance of them happening, so I think you might get people who sensibly disagree with this point of view. But in the article it's a little confusing, because the person who did this could only trade IIUC with other people on the same day as the day the figure would be published so the people who traded with them were doing something very ill-advised to start with. I can't see how any of this would have affected people who tried to actually predict the co2 level properly, except that now they don't have a market any more.
Probably because they don't want to be sued for libel.

I think you’ve missed the point of the post you’re responding to, and even remade it... the imperial system is exactly legacy, and its idiosyncrasies aren’t warts per se—for someone who’s able to use it (ie not an outsider looking in without familiarity//triggered to the point of “primary school” incivility), it has some convenient properties, and we’re quite pleased to keep using it day-to-day, thanks.

(Sidebar: the turning point between very warm and hot is literally built into the system at 100F. If you think 30C is hot, you’ve clearly not spent much time here in the summer... and it doesn’t feel really cold until you’re down around 0F anyway.)

> various feet, inches, fluid ounces and other shenanigans are mind-bogglingly confusing for anyone who is used to metric

This isn’t relevant—no one is asking you lot to change from metric, and it isn’t confusing to our lot. We manage quite easily not to get our minds getting boggled... we’re even able to switch between multiple units, no problem, it’s not as confusing or challenging as you make it sound.

Starship Prototype SN11 Explodes in Mid-Air, Raining Debris on the Launch Site
We're not even at the stage where there is an "accused", that's the point. Similarly, the names of the pilots that guided the ship haven't been released - they are equally good candidates to be blamed without further knowledge. None of the involved parties has a particular interest in making it about the persons, and if media found it then what? "Here's a name of a dude nobody ever heard of, and we can't tell you anything about him or what he has done"?

Or look at the reporting about the airliner that crashed in Indonesia earlier this year: While the pilots name is public knowledge, its also not really been part of the reporting because it's not especially relevant yet and there is nothing interesting to say about them. (Apparently the voice recorder has been found, so if there is anything interesting on there expect that to change)

I conclude something of the opposite. I question the effectiveness of our current approach to free speech to actually protect people's lives. Mass violence can absolutely be enacted by fascist groups without ever crossing 1st amendment protections. And I would not expect to be granted the right to speak out against a fascist regime should it ever have a legislative majority.

Hate speech scales more effectively than individual threats of violence. The 1st amendment will do nothing to protect me.

> This is a circular argument for anthropocentrism. It makes no attempt to define any of its qualifying characteristics from outside the human perspective.

You won't be able to do this. Human minds will make human arguments. Even if you had a "higher order" perspective, human minds would only be able to comprehend it in their own terms. Definition? Perspective? These themselves are human notions.

Right, except that I am willing to bet money that in 99% of cases, playground closures happen because overprotective parents complain "my litle jimmy scraped their knee, you should close it until everything is made ouf ot foam!" and councils find it easier to just close a playground rather than fight a battle against parents, especially if they find few other households who think the same.
My guess is they “just don’t trust it” without a reason. This type of person never has a reason, they just parrot what they’ve heard without thinking critically.

Wow. Got tons of downvotes. By the end of the day, the simple logic is that the false reports do not hurt truthful reports. If the truthful reports prove their point, no matter how many false reports exist, the truth is the truth. So this action itself is purely propaganda to prove a false point with a false logic.

Maybe he gets to this — I stopped watching — but while this is totally true, the unfortunate side effect is no one plants things like apples and avocados because they’ve heard this before.

On our farm there are a bunch of wild apple trees that popped up outside the proper orchard over the years — and some are amazing. And some are trash - but the elk and the deer like them.

The way we discovered as a species which apples taste great, and which ones thrive in a certain area had a lot to do with ... growing a lot of different kinds of apples!

This isn’t my idea — I learned it from “Restoration Agriculture” by Mark Shepherd. His book was a big inspiration for us in even getting a farm in the first place, and his approach is to grow lots of trees from trees. Reason being that finding a well-adapted variety for your region — one that tastes great, thrives in your climate, and is resistant to the local pests and fungi — is very valuable! And one way to do this, if you have the land, is to simply plant a lot of stuff and see what survives.

Another reason is that eventually our beloved varieties succumb to environmental pressures. Pests and fungi become too well adapted. Climate changes, etc.

While the issue of “mess” with fruit trees can be real depending on where you live, trees are overall a good thing. I’m a proponent of planting the right tree for your environment. It’s likely to last longer, both because it’s well suited to the environment and also because humans are more likely to keep it around. But don’t be discouraged that a tree may not make edible fruit — it could still make a nice tree. And you may get lucky with a new and interesting variety!
That would actually be really easy to replicate in such a way that no human could tell the difference.
