Thanks for voicing this - in the system I work with (Swift Composable Architecture), concurrently dispatched effects are processed in the order in which they return the result of their work. The scheduler processes effect results on a single thread, so no real concurrency can happen there. If two supposedly concurrent effects mutate the same substate, then the outcome is (in theory) not even deterministic - the effect returning from their work first will „win“.
Probably because the architecture and engineering is only a small part of the cost, the things the architects design in are much more expensive to build.

The actual design of the striking granite-block construction with large windows on the coast may not cost all that much. But the materials and skilled artisans sure do.
Why people thought Google would suddenly stop being an advertisement company? (And pivot to what exactly overnight?) That's both in their DNA and still their overwhelming largest business. Of course don't buy a "smart" TV (that would probably be described more accurately as an "idiotic not-maintained-a-lot-IOT TV with more heavy planned obsolescence than usual"), but if you do, of course stay away from Google.
Depends on the business plan.

In the 80s, the standards changed so you can't have the old newspaper and spit style manufactured homes anymore.

But I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for. Our house is absolutely a "trailer" - it came in two pieces, has long I-beams under the floor, and still has axles down in the crawlspace. I believe one can get the "modular" version which is the same thing, same factory, and doesn't keep the axles (with perhaps a few other changes - it didn't matter to me and was more money for the same end result).

Despite that, it's a solid drywall based house, 2x6 exterior walls, etc.

But if you want more details, you'll have to find someone in your area who sells them and go find out more - my regional knowledge probably isn't applicable to your situation.

This is significantly harder than it appears at first glance, because there is no way to determine whether such descriptions are correct, and they are extremely easy to game. This is the challenge that the essentially torpedoed the semantic web.

As a user you have to trust the source of the descriptions and ideally would know the process by which they were selected. Curation is hard to scale, but for things like open source software it has been done by the package manager teams. That said, try to figure out the difference between icedtea and openjdk.

If you are down in some tiny niche it might work, but imagine the descriptions that would come up for fast food restaurants near me.

Although pure aquire-release semantics would allow such reordering, it also didn't feel quite right to me, either. Fortunately, someone asked the exact same question on Stack Overflow and got a good answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61300584

Looks like you've been on the right track with regard to possible infinite loops.
While I understand the cynicism, I think that this point is critical:

"It means that while Cloudflare provides resolution-as-a-service, none of the components has to be trusted."

Of course it would be better if there were multiple interchangeable "resolution-as-a-service" providers, and even better if no one needed to use those services because their OS provided the functionality locally, but we're unfortunately a long way from that, and we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good while pursuing that goal.
Not me, but a colleague - he wanted to look around the system as the `uwsgi` user, so he ran `sudo -u wsgi -s /bin/bash`.

Except that he typoed, and instead ran `sudo -c wsgi -s /bin/bash`. What that does is instead of launching the (-s)hell as the uwsgi (-u)ser, it interprets the rest as a (-c)ommand. Now, `wsgi` is also a binary, and unfortunately, it does support a `-s` switch. It tries to open a socket at that address - or a filesystem path, as the case may be. Meaning that the command (under root) overwrote /bin/bash with 0 bytes.

Within minutes, jobs started failing, the machine couldn't be SSH'd into, but funnily enough, as /bin/bash was the login shell for all users, not even logging in via a tty through KVM worked.

Perhaps not the best story, but certainly a fun way to blow your foot off on a Monday morning :)

> The courts are specialists in the law, not the truth

You're confusing the fact that courts are legal institutions directed by legal professionals with the conception that's all they are. In fact, a court is a process. That process is guided by law, and results in legal findings, but it is not limited to the legal sphere when it comes to findings of fact and truth. Where a court lacks specialists in truth, advocates on both sides will find whatever ways they can to bring them to the discussion.

And again, there is no such thing as rule of law without examining questions truth. You want liability for poor engineering standards? Courts must ascertain what good engineering standards are. You want murder to be illegal, and people to be tried for violating murder laws? Courts must ascertain evidence, often scientific evidence relating to whether or not someone is guilty. A court without capacity or authority to weigh in on truth cannot apply the law.

It has more to do with the way we measure academic success, politicians exercising their power, maintaining the status quo. Not much on the quality of education.

I believe frontal lessons + tests to be a terrible way to learn for roughly half of the kids and they would definitely thrive with more self directed learning (think project based learning).

>Both the leak of the DNC files, and the purported leak of files by a Putin critic, were found to contain numerous forged documents.

Nothing in that article shows any evidence of tainted leaks in the DNC release. It claims some other leak had some tainted links, that they were carried out by the sane group, and that the Clinton team claimed emails were fake.

Wikileaks Twitter account has been full of madness, almost as if it was being run by someone suffering years of torture. That's a separate claim from the validity of the site.
If the conversation is going to head into spreadsheet territory then it needs a more comprehensive look at costs and benefits. Homeless people often commit minor crimes and cause calls to emergency services. These interventions are expensive and add up. It may be more cost effective to get people homes and some assistance than to have them living on the streets where they constantly cause trouble. This points toward a situation where the issue is making society work reasonably well and not simply adding up who owes what.
"For months, the 23-year-old el-Kurd twins had become the faces of Palestinian resistance in Sheikh Jarrah, broadcasting on Twitter and Instagram how they and seven other families refused to be forcibly expelled from their homes by Israeli settlers. "

That CPU list was missing CPUs that were still being sold in new builds even less than 3 years ago. That's quite the severe cut off point.

They've been fairly clever having their cake and eating it too with old/new reddit UI. They're basically cultivating a whole new userbase that only knows the new UI, while still keeping the old userbase around. I can imagine that once the new one because large enough to be self-sustainable, they'll kill the old interface and the mass exodus won't fully kill reddit since they still have the other half who won't care.
Are you sure it doesn't have PTT? AFAIK recent-ish intel CPUs should have TPM support using the trusted computing capabilities of the CPU itself, without the need for a discrete TPM chip.

French Spyware Executives Are Indicted for Aiding Torture
> Every 1970's-era trailer house manufacturer has rebranded themselves as "Modular, not Mobile".

This isn't just branding. The Housing Act of 1980 required the term "manufactured" be used in place of "mobile" in all federal laws about homes built after 1976.

If you look at a "mobile" home, it's one built before modern standards, where if you look at a "manufactured" or "modular" home, it's one that conforms to the National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Act (1974) and HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (1976).

Now "manufactured" vs "modular" is whether it's built just to the federal HUD standards, or also built to the same local codes as a site-built home.

All three (mobile, manufactured, modular) are terms for factory-built pre-fab homes, i.e. "trailer homes".
I recently read Gates’ book How To Avoid a Climate Disaster which left me with the impression that the overriding factor in building costs is the energy required (and CO2 produced) for construction, heating, and cooling.

Unfortunately I didn’t see any mention of energy or carbon in this post.

Seems like the biggest breakthrough would be a pre-construction estimate of energy costs over, say, 30 years. Similar to the Energy Star sticker on appliances sold in the US which tell you the cost to run a given appliance with typical usage compared to the range for other models.

This would allow you justify spending more upfront for better insulation, HVAC, air sealing, etc. and recoup that over time. At scale this would allow our civilization to be more energy efficient and reduce the need to build more power plants.

This suggestion stood out:
”...move to resistance heating and thermoelectric cooling“

Unless I’m missing something, this would be a step backward. Modern heat pumps are 3-4x more efficient than resistance heating, since they aren’t creating heat but moving it from one place to another. For cooling, if the author is referring to Peltier type thermoelectric cooling, the same applies: heat pumps are many times more efficient.

The building revolution we need is one that cheaply produces extremely energy-efficient homes, IMO.

Exactly this ^

While effect systems are cool, they don't solve the problem described here, which is just that you need to be clear about the order of operations that are order dependent.

The question would be, what programming style lets you most simply describe the operations and their needed order?

Functional programming is often also talked to as a type of dataflow programming, and the two share a lot in common. A dataflow approach in my opinion is best suited here, and functional programming can easily be used in a dataflow style.

The author's first example is actually pretty great, it defines a pipeline of operations, the pipeline is a very clear way to declare the order of operations.

Another popular approach is instead of explicitly declaring the order using dataflow constructs like a pipeline or a DAG, that you define the dependencies on prior operations and data, and the construct infers the order from those declared dependencies.
It's hard to rent out all those street level shops. The tenants of a 4-6 story structure can't support those shops. There are not enough residents per shop for that. Such places are not usually convenient to drive to.

When you hold your hand outside the window of a car in motion, your hand is only pushed upwards if you incline it upwards. If you incline it downwards, it will be pushed down. This is the angle-of-attack effect and simply relies on the normal force of the air striking the hand. If the hand is inclined upwards, the normal force has an upward component, creating lift.
Oh, yes, the old America's motto: "Give me convenience or give me death!"

Thanks for sharing your story. Just as an aside, I think most English speakers won't understand your usage of "to PK" (player kill) to mean "to duke it out." I've only seen that abbreviation used in Chinese.
In the US, Joe Manchin is now recognized as the most powerful senator in some ways, precisely because while there are a lot of other Democrats, he is the one dragging his feet the most on major bills that need every Democrat to support.

On the other side of the aisle, Mitch McConnell has even MORE power in practice since he has centralized the Republican vote in himself and holds more than the 40 Senators needed to veto most legislation.

I say more power in practice, because Manchin could participate in removing the filibuster and break McConnell's power, but failed negotiating class and has already committed to not doing that.

--

The sum is, with veto power centralized in just two Senators, together they have accrued most of the power of the whole Senate, and (since it has veto power), the entire Congress.
These are some very good points. For me the biggest problem with existing social networks is how difficult it is to get to know new people through the applications. Despite us spending more time online than being present on the physical world (this is probably also a problem, but one for another time), we get remarkably little real social interaction out of these hours spent.

Good news is that the seeds of better social do exist. I'm trying to set up one of them, http://www.reason.so/ which will match people with similar interests into small (3-10 people) group chats with the intention of creating small communities where it's easy to discuss things you find interesting semi-privately (i.e. somewhere between a public Twitter thread and a private group message). By keeping the chats small you also get rid of clickbait, astroturfers and "thought leaders" who only want to build an audience instead of actually interacting with other people.

The biggest problem with setting up a social network like Reason is probably monetarisation. People just aren't ready to pay for social media when Facebook, Clubhouse and co are free.
Solid state physics was my favorite class in college (and it was a senior course that people regularly flunked so not really a beginner-friendly tutorial). It was also very hard, and one of only 2 courses I actually attended while studying because I couldn't just show up for the test and ace it. It was fascinating to finally understand the physics behind circuits I'd been building for years (I'd understood RLC circuits since high school, but transistors, op-amps, diodes, and all that stuff I knew how to use but the "how the fuck does this amplify current?" mystery remained).

Unfortunately I don't remember what book I used. But yeah, this definitely opened my eyes to how electricity works.

>In the US there are things that do not make sense because people density is so low there, even in places like New York, most people live in individual homes, spread over a big area.

That's patently false. In NYC only 9% of homes are single unit detached and in NY state it's only 41%.
There are additional state and local tax programs like workers comp and disability insurance, job training, paid family leave, state income taxes if your entity is registered in that state, local taxes, etc. As you might expect, higher cost of living states tend to be more liberal and have more programs that employers are expected to fund. Moving employees out of those states saves money.

Is Windows 11 likely to perform some sort of attestation for this? Or are we likely to see something like the way the old Windows cracks used to work - a hacked up version of Grub or another bootloader able to patch the necessary firmware and BIOS information before chainloading Windows.
They're sort of the same. If you have str and safestr, and safestr is known to confiorm to some invariant, the illegal state of a, say str where validate hasn't been called, isn't representable.
It's more than "personal choice in vernacular". Someone speaking authoritatively on construction methods should know the differences in terms. Calling a vertical wall framing member a "joist" would be just as wrong.

Balloon framing and platform framing are different, exclusive terms. Author uses it as a catch-all for stick framing throughout the article.

The rest of the article seems fine and insightful, but it's totally reasonable to see that incorrect terminology usage as an indicator of knowledge gaps. And the author appears to be more involved with cryptography and related concepts, so it tracks.
They're doing this to force people to buy new hardware and a new Windows licence. If they let you upgrade from Windows 10 for free, they don't make any money. They've already gotten people used to free updates, so they can't charge money for Windows 11 upgrades directly. Most people buy pre-built computers, so a Windows 11 licence will be included by default for most, so they will make more money.

If memory serves, normal concrete has an R value of about 1 per foot, whereas AAC is more like 1 to 2 per inch. So, an 8 inch wall would have an R-value of about 8-16. That doesn't seem like enough for a cold climate, so I'd assume for those applications you'd probably add an extra layer of actual insulation. (This would mean having pretty thick walls.) You wouldn't need as much supplemental insulation as you would with a regular concrete wall, though.

The thermal mass is also nice, though it doesn't really help much in winter-time. I think AAC is a bit more suited to warm desert climates where you have a daily hot/cold cycle.

The Remarkable2 tablet uses a pen with disposable nibs, which means you get good writing feedback. In addition, they optimized the e-ink display for writing by minimizing the distance between the display layer and the pen (ie, less gap between the tip and where you see the writing). The device also has generally minimal lag.

If an iPad is 60% of the writing experience, the RM2 is 80+%.
