I know it sounds incredibly picky, but given it's supposed to be a drop-in youtube-dl replacement, it's quite annoying to suddenly change the name to something as hard to remember as yt-dlp instead of, say, youtube-dlp.

You could probably sell it to just about any gold dealer, as a lot of them sell iridium bars anyway. The tools they have to verify the purity of gold also work for other metals. If not, then they would certainly have connections to find someone who will buy it.

Also, you generally buy/sell on a 5-10% spread from the "spot" market price of the metal, depending on the quanitity you're dealing with. Dealers generally offer a closer price to spot when dealing with larger dollar value amounts of metal.
I would agree wholeheartedly with the former, but definitely not the latter. I keep going back to Windows because I'm sick of constantly dealing with all the little headaches that crop up whenever I use a Linux Desktop.

That you think I'm the one who was arguing with you despite me saying "the posts of the person you're arguing with" instead of "my posts" confirms what I was saying.

You don't seem to care about actually understanding the other person's meaning. You're very clearly looking for a way to continue the argument and prove how smart you are, but I assure you as a (former) bystander that you're not succeeding.

So maybe it will work out of the box. That said the ARM ecosystem still seems immature on desktop.
Undersea cables typically have conductors in them to power erbium-doped fiber amplifiers using high voltage DC. Over long distances, solar flares will induce significant currents into these conductors that will likely damage this equipment. Every few years the IEEE runs a report on the risks to the power grid and how grid operators should really adjust their designs to incorporate fixes for this known risk. It's pretty much inevitable that humans will wait until this failure occurs before implementing design fixes.
I'm sure that was true for PCs, but for dumb terminals, there weren't that many that supported anything other than monochrome.

> I take it WIFI is a noun. How is gender prescribed to a noun?

Easily, by the language making it an obligatory grammatical category for nouns. Grammar says there's concord in the language and some words have gender? Suddenly all nouns require gender for concord, regardless of whether it seems reasonable to you or not.

Agree - a rolling-release-distribution (e.g. Gentoo, which is the one I'm using) can update anytime any software/program to any major higher version (which might have "breaking" changes) anytime => I never do any update when I know that I'll absolutely need the system anytime soon (e.g. not now that I'm changing flat as I need Libreoffice&Cups to write&print docs).

Lol emacs is honestly too complex for me to dive into. I like vim because it’s simpler! I seriously value simplicity. And wanting to stay on whatever works for you, that’s totally fair. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The beauty of NixOS is that makes all the package management and configuration completely declarative and versioned. And includes a huge amount of options that abstract away complex Linux tooling, making things “just work” for 99% of use cases.
You're sacrifing the exact same amount when using WSL2. The difference is that Windows is only useful for Photoshop and 3% of video games, while as a developer you're using Linux all day.

You're not sacrificing any resources, in both cases you're running a full Linux and a full Windows.

As far as GPU acceleration it's just as much of a pain inside of WSL2 than in a regular VM.

Fwiw I only use Windows for Genshin Impact now. Photoshop works well enough usig Wine, the installer won't run but that's not an issue.
The main thing I dislike about it assumption that all software should go through the distribution's package manager, instead of application developers distributing their software directly to users.

This assumption has the important consequence that distros don't provide a stable interface (libraries, etc) that applications can depend on. Two years from now your binary may stop working when the distribution updates their libraries.

Most people think the package manager model is an advantage, because it makes installing things that are in the package manager easier, but in reality it comes at a big cost for anything that isn't in the package manager or doesn't want to be in it, including most commercial software.
Good article detailing a particularly high-value part of Lodash.

I tend to be highly critical of the library overall:

- It takes most of its inspiration from functional programming, but sometimes surprises with unexpected mutation.

- Surprises of that kind are especially likely to be missed, because the API is quite large, and because (as the article author mentions) it provides a lot of shorthand functionality/magic behavior that one might not expect… especially combined.

- FP patterns like composition and currying are unnecessarily ergonomically difficult, because argument order is wrong throughout most of the API; the lodash/fp module mostly addresses this, but it’s not in wide use by a lot of projects heavily dependent on Lodash.

- Where composition is accounted for, it tends to exacerbate surprises caused by magic behavior.

All of that said, the laziness of chain is one bright spot that (afaik) is pretty faithful to FP expectations, notwithstanding those other issues. And while I’m not personally a fan of “fluent” APIs and chaining syntax, with laziness it’s not hard to squint and see it as roughly analogous to a threading macro/pipe operator.

IMO there are better-overall FP libraries in the ecosystem, but they tend to feel very unidiomatic. E.g. dropping in Haskell-like semantics and names that are likely unfamiliar to JS/TS devs who would nonetheless be familiar with similar equivalents in the ecosystem.

These days I mostly treat Lodash as YAGNI, and very seldom install or import it unless there’s a strong team preference. But I think, given its prevalence, I’d like to see a fresh “Lodash done right” which:

- Exports functions rather than a namespace (ESM and tree-shaking friendly, encourages use and composition of plain functions)

- Adopts either the native-equivalent name (if available) or the familiar Lodash name for functions (with convenience aliases if desired, but ideally isolated in some compat module)

- Places arguments in an order one would expect coming from the equivalent implementation in a FP language (collection first, operator/parameter after) to encourage composition

- Eliminates all implicit magic (missing arguments are treated as a mistake; null is a value)

- Provides/expects lightweight data types for explicit magic (eg `path('foo.bar')` is better and safer than 'foo.bar')

- Embraces evolution of the language/platform, deferring to native implementations as they’re available/introduced

- Engaged with the standardization process to coordinate and advocate for the principles and benefits of FP functionality

… and all of that’s a lot to ask. Certainly beyond my bandwidth alone. But I’d be happy to collaborate if other folks want to see it happen :)

> Anyone with more experience in immunology care to weigh in on why the second paragraph there follows from the first? Naively, one might expect targeting a wider variety of places on on the COVID spike protein to result in better immunity against variants, not worse. Why is the article saying the opposite?

The RBD is the part of the spike protein that latches onto the cell. Specifically it latches onto the ACE2 receptor. If the RBD changes too much then the virus can no longer infect its target cells (because it can't attach to ACE2 receptors). This means that there are probably strong limits on how much this section of the virus can change.

Because we expect the RBD to change less than other areas, and because the mRNA vaccines recognize more of these possible changes, then we have a reasonable expectation that mRNA based immunity should continue to be effective.

To make a crude analogy, ACE2 is a phillips head screw. The spike protein is a phillips screw driver. The tip of the screw driver is the RDB. Infection elicited antibodies recognize random spots all over the screw driver. mRNA vaccine elicited antibodies recognized spots all over the tip. Eventually you can turn the handle into a shape that won't be recognized, but there are strict limits on how much you can change the tip while still having it function as a philips screw driver. And of the ways that you can change the tip, the mRNA antibodies will match more of them than the naturally acquired ones. At least that's the expectation.

There are still possible ways that the virus might evade; perhaps by making shields for the tip that block portions of the antibody, but this seems like it might be harder than changing the handle's shape.
>It's clear that there are over 30,000 empty homes in London

So? According to wikipedia london has anywhere between 10.0 million and 14.3 million people (depending on whether you're counting "urban" or "metro"). 30,000 empty homes translates to 80k people[1]. As egregious as that might sound, is a drop in the bucket relative to the overall population. The 30k number also fails to differentiate between long term emptiness (eg. billionaires hoarding houses) and short term emptiness (eg. units undergoing renovation, units looking for a new tenant). The latter is necessary for a functioning rental market, otherwise it's impossible for people to move into/around the city because all the housing units are locked up.

My first thought was much like your second point! If we have lazy operations on collections, we’re 90% of the way to `seq` & similar lazy structures.

Edit: in fact, probably 99%. You just need to define the data structures as an initial operation that materializes values for subsequent operations on demand.
seriously if they started paying out something comparable to small ransoms, some folks may be swayed back from the dark side.
Congratulations.
It's not easy! But it can be done. It depends on what your priorities are. Here's my tips from the time our new baby was born.

#1 Set aside time to work
This is the important part, you can't "work when you're inspired". Set aside the 2-3 hours you need per day. At the time I had a full-time job and the baby was born. My partner at the time was a stay-at-home-mom, which helped a lot. But I had duties to be with the baby in the evenings -- feedings, etc. I watched a movie or series with my partner after the baby was sleeping, THEN I went to work when my partner was sleeping.

#2 Constraints are important
Because of the minimal amount of time (few hours per day) you have to spend it wisely. In this case, I had a strong to-do list with few distractions. I would work on that list and try to finish a few items (completely) every night.

#3 No distractions
No social media was consumed. No YouTube, no instagram, no twitter, tv off. Back in those days these services were just starting anyway, so things were kind of "new".

#4 Motivations
Biggest motivator was my family. Living in New York City was not easy in a nice apartment and a family to support. I knew my side project HAD to work and it DID because I had NO choice. Even with an almost 6 figure job, it would not have been able to do everything, even in 2004.

At some point, you have to balance out things. You CAN't spend all your time with your family.

And you can't spend all your time with your job.

You have to have some time for each one. And where people fail badly, is when they spend quantity instead of quality time with kids or work.

Believe me, its best to spend less, but QUALITY time with your kids, rather then a whole lot of random time.

Your mileage will not vary.

I run it on my desktop, and have for the last 6 years, and for ~10 years previous to that (had a few years running Ubuntu in the mid 2000s)

The good parts are ZFS and ZFS boot environments, and general stability.

The bad parts are updating ports/packages because in terms of ports/packages, FreeBSD is a "rolling release" distro, meaning that upgrades are often "interesting". I'd vastly prefer if it were more like Debian/Ubuntu/RHEL and had a fixed base set of 3rd party software, with a "ppa" like mechanism to get the latest version of only what you need. However, there is just not enough manpower to support that.

I cope with it by running the -stable quarterly packages on my -current desktop, and so I deal with upgrade pain only a few times a year, not every time I update my system. I've also switched to running Linux firefox via the linux jails project. This is nice, because I can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade the linux stuff, and have most of what I want upgraded (web facing stuff like firefox) without touching the native ports/packages.
> It is hands down the nicest way to install packages out of all OSes, including Mac and Windows.

Hard disagree. The best way to install software of all the OSs I've ever used was the original Macintosh way: Just copy a single file. The same thing was used in RiscOS, NeXT, and a few others and is the inspiration for AppImage.
