Why do they make such a big deal out of having numbered the positions? That's kind of a basic thing about a countable set, you can enumerate its elements if you want. We already knew the set of legal chess positions was countable.

My question was "Do they know any peace?"

Possibly they do.

It's not known to me either way.

Clearly I'm skeptical of whether materialism can deliver peace, and clearly I'm saying peace is worthy of pursuit, but falling just short of judging others' level of peace achieved is prudent.

Are there any intelligent approaches to automating proof games? Can I just play the position backwards, unwinding it with a bias to returning pieces to their home positions?

Also isn’t this relatively easy if you can just waste turns (pointless moves by a Queen) while returning pieces back home?

This is fascinating because on the surface it seems very do-able but I bet the devil is in the details.
Interesting, if unsurprising, to see that a large factor in the interest in YouTube was based purely on location, as well as knowledge of the people working there, their backgrounds, and who specifically they were funded by.

Then you are lucky (as many of us in software are) that you had enough pull for that.

Where unions or worker organization (even without a formal union and dues and such) come in is if this doesn't work because individual pull is not enough.

Your case you were lucky, in many an organization you would just have been told "you gotta take one for the team, we cannot make exceptions, then everyone wants one" (note that I don't agree with that but seen/heard this too many times)
I also think that the rifle can “set the frame” for the character or scenario.

E.g. that the character is the kind of person who owns guns.

One really great example of this is coughing in films. Once someone coughs for no reason, you know they will croak by the end of the film.
This is the data representation problem.

It's in the customers' best interest to have a universal format.

It's in no one else's (read: especially vendors) interest for there to be a universal format.

Which is why you generally only see it when it's mandated by a coordinating party in the middle (e.g. Medicare).
Maybe. But my reasoning is to assume as little as possible and start reasoning up from the point in history where the need for an explanation arose.

And the need for an explanation arose when Hubble saw the redshift. He and Zwicky preferred tired light over galactic recession, but the halfwit academic establishment went with galactic recession.
None of these are terminal criticisms, and in fact can be rectified with just a bit more information or expert advisement.

You might argue that it means the advice isn't simple. I would counter that in the average case, it's simple enough. We are surrounded with material, examples and non-examples of the advice being followed to the point of it being tiresome.

For cases like injury and plant protein sources the information and talent is so readily available for someone of sufficient means to take action with, that the "complexity" won't matter after six months.

The part that's more interesting to me is the "UI/Java" part. It's very hard to think of any consumer web company from that era that iterated on a UI quickly with Java and hit exponential growth.

Here is a list of YC startups, and you have to scroll down before you hit anything but Ruby/Python (and C++ for back ends, presumably Go too). But I'd say this is true of all web companies in general, not just YC companies. (You'd probably see more PHP in non-YC companies, and I'd argue it's still more appropriate than Java for this use case)

Aside from the outliers that were GMail and Maps (acquisition), Google had a lot of trouble producing good UIs. Google+ was a good example of UI well below the state of the art at the time.

Notably YouTube was a huge Python codebase ... which Google was already using at the time, but not much for web front ends.

I initially was interested in Rust because of performance + speed + safety, but now I have to say that cargo is a big selling point for me.

I always used to be scared of compiling software myself because I never seemed to be able to get it to work without endless headaches. Now, I generally find it easy to compile Rust programs if they aren't in my package manager, and with cargo install-update https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update I find it easy to keep the software up to date. I have higher confidence that I can get hobbyist Rust software working, and the more Rust software I use, the more familiar I am with the ecosystem and the more comfortable I am.

If this was written in some obscure language I wasn't familiar with, I'd be less confident I would be able to run it at all, let alone keep it updated, and I may not bother even trying to install it.

Basically I sat down one day and wanted to add another WiFi network to my access point.

Since the previous time that I had to manage the AP, I had switched my laptop from Archlinux to Voidlinux.

I tried starting ubiquiti's stupidly over the top java based management daemon on my laptop in order to manage the access point (which I used because I don't own a smartphone and even if I did, I wouldn't want to run any proprietary applications on it). To my surprise the software relied on mongodb which basically no distro packages anymore because of their crazy license change. I tried to spend some time getting mongodb locally packaged for my laptop (I refuse to install software without the package manager backing it up) but compiling mongodb is apparently nontrivial and I couldn't get it to work.

So I gave up on getting that working and just put OpenWRT on it because it provided me with a nice simple command line interface as well as an optional web interface. I was also able to quickly cut down the firmware to the bare minimum as I just wanted to bridge WiFi interfaces to VLANs.

I had a minimal, reliable and easy to manage access point which has been running 24/7 since that day for the last 218 days without a single hiccup. I no longer stress about having to run some insane daemon when I want to modify the configuration of my access point.

Google internally has a kind of cultural belief that the company’s engineers are far more capable than most engineers in the rest of the world. It’s fairly arrogant, but some of it is founded on some real advantages around tooling and systems engineering.
Because it's very hard to make a numbering that's both:

1. compact, in that it uses a relatively narrow range of numbers.

2. efficiently computable, in that you can quickly map numbers (or preferably, thousands of them) to positions, and back.

The combination of these is what allows for estimating the number of legal positions.
> if you had to pick a vendor today, which one would you go with and why?

Depends on what you need. But if forced to pick with no other context, I'd pick AWS. It's like the MS Windows of the 1990s--lots of momentum and tons of work.

> Is [Azure] still that way?

No first hand experience.

Depends? Do you want to be the person maintaining the COBOL or perl program before the lights go out? Or pushing boundaries/doing new work? Both will pay the bills. I'd go with solid vendor myself, as it'd be more fun for me.

Great question. This was foreseen long ago (1500s?); the turn wasting thing is limited by the fifty move rule. A game ends in a draw if no pawn is moved or piece captured for 50 moves. Since pieces can only be removed not added and pawns can only move forward, never backward, this proves that cycles are not possible in chess (they certainly would be without this rule of course)

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty-move_rule
As far as I'm aware, it's the only service that lets you easily find out whether a book is part of a series/universe, where/how it fits in there, and notifies you about upcoming entries in series you follow (email notifications have never worked for me, but at least you can check on the site).

For this use case, the Nebula mesh VPN has the advantage of being rather more fully open source.

I use wireguard to provide access to my home network from outside. For that, nebula would have the advantage of being a single subnet and handling point-to-point communication instead of everything going via the tunnel endpoint. I've failed to get multicast routing to work over wireguard which would have been good for DLNA. But wireguard also serves the extra purpose of protecting my Internet traffic if I use untrusted free wifi somewhere.

The syntax above can be learned easily enough, but double-entry boils down to: Each transaction shows both where money goes and where it comes from, the sum should be 0.

Where it goes and comes from are "accounts", which may or may not correlate to actual accounts like you might think of in personal finance. There are 3 categories of accounts: expenses, assets, liabilities. You own the second two, they are your cash, checking, savings, brokerage as assets and your mortgage, car loan, CCs as liabilities. Expenses are where you spend money outside of your own accounts.

Before getting to expenses, you may have accounts like this for your assets and liabilities:

assets:cash $100
assets:checking $2000
liabilities:cc $-100
liabilities:car $-10000

Whenever you transact your money goes from one place to another, so a car payment may look like:

2021-09-05 Car Payment
assets:checking $-500
liabilities:car $500

Positive means that that account gets the money, negative it loses the money. Note that it sums to $0. If there were an interest component we may do this:

2021-09-05 Car Payment
assets:checking $-500
liabilities:car $400
expenses:interest $100

Expenses are not owned by you. They can be broad categories or more specific. Maybe you have two residences and utilities at both:

expenses:primary:electric:edison:1234 -- your account number
expenses:secondary:electric:pandg:1234

I wouldn't go that far, I might do:

expenses:house:electric:primary
expenses:house:electric:secondary

But the choice is up to you, both work. Think of them as hierarchical tags.

What are some of the most practical applications? I work in off-grid energy (solar) and would be interested in when/whether a JT can be more viable than, say, a boost DC/DC converter / linear current booster.
Shoshana Zuboff explains this perfectly. These companies disempower and commercialize people at the exact moment of empowerment, e.g. I provide you with a cheap smartphone / free and great service (like Google Maps) at the exact same time I load it up with trackers so I can sell your behavioral data. This is exactly what makes it so fraught. People aren't objecting to cheap phones, they're objecting to the continued commercialization and manipulation of human experience.

Actually I now must strongly depart from your argument of intentionality here, and reiterate something I said before. I was about to respond to the person below, but they're more-or-less right. I don't know how intentional any of the programmers were here, so I'm not going to speculate on that.

But I will absolutely insist that this racist outcome is possible -- even likely -- absent any bad intentions from the programmer(s) who did it.

ALSO: I'm 99% sure of the following:

A black team of programmers working on "distinguishing humans from monkeys" would never let the mistake of "black and not white people identified as monkeys" out the door.

That's the point here. I'm not saying it wouldn't have happened somewhere in the process, I'm saying that you or I (if we don't work on the inside) would NEVER have seen it because it would have been noticed and fixed before then.
For a data broker that deals with highly sensitive data, your privacy policy is very broad and unspecific (and as such not actually GDPR compliant). I would not trust you with my data that you will (amongst other purposes) use for:

"in order to derive statistical models for future data enrichment purposes", "to improve the performance and accuracy of the Services", "to improve Your experience while using the Services" and "to send Users and website visitors relevant informational content regarding Services and personalized offers they subscribed to".

"Nordigen may also provide personal data to companies that process personal data on behalf of Nordigen such as marketing service providers." - wonderful, thank you for doing that. not.

GDPR requires you to be more specific in terms of "purpose", to actually list your data processing partners, what purpose the data sharing with that particular partner serves, and which data exactly is shared with which partner.
You might have just given me a solution to a problem I thought about this weekend: a place I need to visit for work is >= 1 km from the next public transport stop - the walking is a little tedious.

I can't believe I need to say this, but there are trans women with vaginas and without testes.

I've switched all my accounting over to hledger (a Haskell-based and slightly more feature-filled version of the original) and I'm SUPER happy with it so far.

My primary consumption method is hledger-ui, a nice curses-based UI. It's got a `watch` mode so will update in real-time as you make edits to the source database, which is nice.

The ONE thing I miss from the old QuickBooks UI world: Entering categories for transactions directly in my text file is tiresome. QuickBooks had a super nice auto-complete feature wherein it would remember the category as you were typing a transaction, which made data entry a snap.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to replicate this inside a text editor? Or any other good way of quickly doing transaction entry?

I can make this claim because Dejacque was the first to use the term to describe an ideology (here is the very first use [1], and here's a page on Dejacque's newspaper Le Libertaire[2]), and because when the term was introduced into right-wing anti-authoritarianism it was with explicit knowledge that it was co-opting the term as it had then been used for a century by the left.

Libertarianism as such was founded as a rejection of "moderate" anarchism, and a more extensive rejection of authority than that of Proudhon, along with an absolute rejection of property rights as oppressive.

That he was later adopted by some right-wing libertarians does not mean he invented libertarianism. Many people toyed with similar ideas. Dejacque was the person who gave it a name and promoted it as an explicit ideology.

You'll also not that Bastiat did not take things nearly as far as Dejacque did. E.g. Bastiat argued in Justice and Fraternity even for limited state provided welfare, so he did not even go as far as many right-libertarians. But whatever the size, he argues for a state, not the total dismantling of the state, which was the origin of libertarianism.

As such, Bastiat looks libertarian to right-libertarians because they took left-wing libertarianism and gutted the commitment to liberty of Dejacque to add in state restrictions on liberty to enable property, and in doing so shifted the ideology far to the right. But he's far less libertarian by its original definition than e.g. an anarchist like Proudhon. To left-libertarians he's just another statist.
