But what he said is true. With all the focus on Perl 6, Perl 5 stagnated for nearly 20, with barely any improvements. Other languages came along and displaced Perl for many jobs.

No, Perl won't disappear any time soon. It still excels at a few things. And like Fortran and COBOL, Perl will also have a long life as a legacy language.
The french greens appear to be objecting to the changes in the measure since its proposal for this reason. From the article, the original proposal was four hours and by reducing into 2.5 hours you've got out a lot of flights which people would seriously consider taking rather than going by rail. Even as someone who happily shows up for European flights with 40 minutes to go, if I could take a train rather than go through airport security for a trip under 2.5 hours I think I'd rather take the train.
For voltage transient (aka surge) protection this is essential - there is nothing that can reliably give you protection except for insulation and lots of it (and space/gaps with no conductive paths is a necessary part of that)
As noted, the discussion between Wheeler and Feynman was in 1940, long before the development of the Standard Model[1].

In the Standard Model there is a sea of virtual particles in the nucleus, but they're virtual and hence not real in the sense that the positron in the One Electron model would have to be. At least that's my understanding.

Also, electrons can travel over large distances, CRT monitors do that all the time for example. So I'm not entirely sure how Wheeler imagined hiding the positrons in the nucleus would solve the whole positron problem.

> The entropy of a black hole is proportional to its surface area, not its volume.

Does the following argument hold? The Schwarzschild radius of a black hole is proportional to the mass. So the surface area is proportional to M^2.

How can bigger holes store ever more entropy per unit mass?
a little over a decade ago i contracted for nuance working on a speech-to-text project for cell phone voicemail, either att or verizon. the job was literally listening to actual customers' voicemails and transcribing them (or correcting auto-transcriptions) into the system. literally 6 to 8 hour shifts of pure mind numbing work. we were told nothing about the tech behind it but I wonder if any of that work compounded into some of their in-use tech today, or if it was all just throw away.

pointless story aside, their enterprise valuation at the time was a little under 20% of what it is today, and the company remained mostly the same until 2 years ago. wonder what the catalyst was for their 5x valuation growth?

I don't think the majority of physicists think that spacetime is quantized. Sure, something is going to happen at the Planck scale but whether that's quantization of time and space is very much an open question.

Dumb question ...

The pricing of Pages is $0/20/$200.

If someone already has an existing Cloudflare account on the: Free ($0) / Pro ($20) / Business ($200) tier - do they get Pages included in their existing plan ... or is Pages an incremental cost?

I've been looking to switch from Google Pixel to iPhone but I still see the same shit on the "other side". On iPhone you still get an advertising ID in your OS to track you that you can't disable. You still get ads in system apps. It's like a veneer on top of the same crap.
I'm just curious, do you and the people who agree with you think that Apple should also be split up?

I personally am more Microsoft friendly, simply for the reason that they always had and have an open platform to everyone.

I'm honestly interested in people's experiences and views on this topic.

Having On-Call Nightmares? Runbooks Can Help You Wake Up
Yeah well I'm a European who was in the middle tax bracket before fleeing communism to move to China and I can tell you: the situation in Europe is unsustainable with all the youth and elders voting for "free healthcare" (it's so hard to make them understand it's free for them but oh so expensive for many others) while the people who actually find ways to produce a bit of value foreigners might be interested in, work for free to pay for it...

The American healthcare system is not an healthcare system, it's a disgrace. The European ones are vast communist machines that can't pay for themselves. The best is the one I see here in Hong Kong: you pay small taxes for it, you pay for anything non critical, you get a socialized base service of average quality with very very good private healthcare that you pay for. And a network of banks providing health insurance for an okay price.

For instance, you can use taxpayers money to give birth if you want, but you don't choose the date, you don't get a room for long and no way you get a C-Section unless you risk dying. In the private hospital you pay a lot, get all those things, but it's not at all necessary.

I really like this compromise, which in hindsight just is obvious and shows you the shark Americans and the hippies Europeans just can't make compromises. You shouldn't have to die because you can't afford a surgery, and you shouldn't have to work 4 months a year for the State because it can't afford to give surgery for every wart on every butthole.

Yes participation is voluntary but refusing to participate does show the true face of the state. Only really bad actors refuse to work together for the greater good. Even some normally seen as bad actors do participate so it is truly telling when a country refuse. Not that it makes much difference but one can hope sanctions will be agreed upon against those who refuse - or more political correct: bonuses for those that participate.

Because this poor guy's telling us, "I can't take this anymore," that his volunteering experience was so damn combative and miserable that he quit, and he just wants peace..

And now here you are saying "yeah? well what STANDARDS does he propose by which we can evaluate the VALIDITY OF THE BULLYING?!?" and ... like, come on. It's combative, it's insensitive, and it's an altogether inappropriate demand — you don't get to expect a treatise in the "bullying was too bad, so I quit" letter, even by way of hyperlink.

In short, by embodying the problem that made him quit and applying that problem to his quitting.
Same. I also flag seemingly good things like !!x. If you want to convert something to boolean be explicit and do Boolean(x). In most cases it turns out there was a bug in input parameter in the first place and developer was just lazy to fix it.
The power density of the tritium due to the deposition of energy by the β radiation (electrons) is 325W/kg. Assuming the entirety of the tritiated water (2.1g) they're dumping is concentrated to a droplet and you're holding that in your hand, it will give off 0.7W, so to warm you body by 1°C you would halve to hold it for a week.

That said, tritium is dangerous, but its β radiation won't burn your skin. Ingesting large quantities of it, 10-20 times the annual limit of intake, can cause immediate issues like white cells death and increase chances of developing cancer by around 1%.

MSM of course has played a huge role in many negative things that have happened across the world, but to say we should hold off on any FB "hate" because of this seems weird? Also for most people FB has a bigger impact on their perception of the world than any MSM and their impact is only growing (while many MSM are struggling to survive).
> In the United States CO2 emissions per capita have been on a downward trend since the 1970s [...], the U.S. is doing well

This is very misleading, because US CO2 per capita numbers are (still) very high, and only surpassed by a few oil states and ultra-rich enclaves (picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...)

With over 15 tons/capita/year the US is doing FAR worse than e.g. EU or China (which are at ~9).

This suggests that "making everyone else at least as wealthy" is very ineffective in decreasing emissions.

It seems very clear to me that any effort spent on reducing domestic emissions will have MUCH higher ROI than e.g. sponsoring the rainforest, or supporting Indian green energy projects.

This is because cutting emissions from 15 to 10 tons seems (evidently?) much more feasible than e.g. getting from 10 to 5 (same gain).

I'm a fan of Google Assistant's usefulness and I generally agree with this. The Assistant craze seems more justified when you consider that companies like Google and Amazon are using it as a way to build datasets. It's a strategic reserve of data to build other things from (i.e. Google Duplex) and it doesn't matter at their scale if there isn't a vision yet, if a competitor is stockpiling transcribable voice data, they need to keep up.
No need to ‘return’ when you throw an error, but your approach is valid IMO: if structure / readability is that important, refactor the switch to it’s own method with only if checks in it. Hard to make that simpler and more readable.

That's missing the point. Sealioning doesn't mean "provide details", it's shorthand for an argumentation tactic, which enables its practitioners to argue successfully "against" a position without evidence simply by demanding evidence from someone else. Someone coming in to sealion a discussion doesn't actually want the discussion to be had on the basis of details (because if they did, they would be providing some). They want to shut the other person down without having to go through that trouble.

Essentially, sealioning (as understood in this context) in an attempt to suppress dissent. And that's bad, no matter what tactic is employed.

They're going to get that anyway for hosting people. And if you read their writing on the subject they do want to improve discovery as well as giving direct support to specific writers:
https://blog.substack.com/p/substacks-view-of-content-modera...

"At the same time, while we take a hands-off approach with who may use the platform, we will continue to take an active approach in helping and promoting promising writers. We are doing this by improving discovery on the platform and building programs, such as fellowships, grants, and mentorship, to support writers. Our partnerships team will also continue to work with high-revenue and high-potential writers."

So I'm not sure this claim about avoiding recommendations is actually true.
Worker Sites basically adds a subfolder to your project containing a Worker script that gets deployed to your domain and serves up your build output.

It's lower-level, however it's a better option if you have any dynamic/API parts to your site because you can integrate all of that in a single place in your Worker script.
Gentle reminder when receiving something for free, it's useful to keep in mind what the other party is receiving from you in return, and in this case, from all your users through your consent. I'm not sure what CloudFlare gain from offering this, but traffic data would seem the most obvious angle.

So I guess from my perspective, I'd treat this with roughly the same scepticism as a free hosting service provided by Google Analytics, at least until the bigger picture is made a little more clear.

Israel had nuclear weapons back in 1966. They could have used them when attacked during the 6-day war (a war they almost lost). They could have used them during the following three year war of attrition. They could have used them when attacked during the Yom-Kippur War. The fact that they did not and have never used them as a negotiation tactic since acquiring them shows that Israeli nukes aren't destabilizing the region.

Israel hasn't started up wars with its neighbors since its creation (we'll set aside terrorists in Palestine for another conversation sufficing to say that's definitely not a war). Iran has gone to war with almost everyone around at some point during that same 75 year period of time with a total body count in the millions.

Finally, nukes only make sense for stability if you take religion off the table. Iranian leaders have called repeatedly, publicly, and recently for the annihilation of Israel. Don't forget that it was prophesied that things on this earth won't wrap up until there's a massive war in which the Jews are exterminated.

This is all before discussing how Iran and Saudi Arabia are carrying on a proxy power struggle between Russia and the United States.

I think three times now I've had a small dataset I wanted to do something simple like linear regression on, thought it'd be a good opportunity to learn MLJ, and ended up giving up when I was knee deep in inscrutable errors about scientific types and machines and unsupported models.

If anyone has a good introduction to recommend which is clearer than the official docs, I'd definitely appreciate it.
It's easier to understand if you're aware of their business model. They have a generous free plan, but if you're building a serious website and need tech support you'd be willing to pay $20/month or more. That's a fair trade. This is similar to the generous free/introductory tiers on other cloud providers.

Validation code as shown tends to be repetitive and imperfectly implemented. I have found that transitioning to using AJV and JSON Schema is far more sustainable, especially on an API surface. One describes the data and depends on consistent and vetted logic for validating the described types rather than repetitively describing how to validate them.

Validations that happened at an application level must still be written but those tend to be specific to the application logic or system state. An example of logic related validation is contingently valid argument values where the compatibility of one value being used with another must be tested. An example of state related validation is a constraint that a given value must exist in a dynamic table.

As someone who was born under the NHS in Scotland, grew up in Australia under its Medicare system (and the introduction of partial privatiz(s)ation), and has lived in the US since 2006, no-one is laboring under that misapprehension. Medicare tax is indeed a line item on Australian taxation paperwork.
The more correct term for universal healthcare rather than free should be cheaper as everyone with such systems wind up spending much less on healthcare than the USA. We basically spend as much per capita on our public system than other countries do on healthcare overall, and then we also have a private system that is even more costly.
