What I absolutely love about the Ig Nobels (beside the occasional chuckle and general mood improvement they bring me) is how they highlight that science can be fun. Many kids and young adults don´t want to get into science for fear of having to do research into some boring subject they don´t care about. And these show you that your research can get a completely different direction, studying upside down rhinos hanging from a helicopter or that theatre smell that weirds you out or why you breathe better after sex or if your cat is trying to tell you something. Whatever fascinates you, go ahead and study it. There´s an Ig Nobel waiting for you.

(Disclaimer: yes, you will have to do a ton of boring research. But you still can fit a rhino in between that!)
I think you can define it. You just need to be willing to pin down some definitions so there's something you can formally talk about.

For example, let's say an "program" (in whatever abstract sense, whether you want to represent it as DAGs of function compositions or as a sequence of instructions or whatever else) takes, by definition, an infinite sequence of input symbols, and produces an infinite sequence of output symbols. Both sequences start (WLOG) at index 0. Note that for finite sequences, you can represent them by appending an infinite number of symbols that you consider null.

Let's say that "running" the program "until step k" (in whatever abstract sense you want to define, whether it's evaluating functions or following a sequence of operations or whatever) corresponds to "producing all outputs up to index <= k". The "state" of that program at step k might then be defined as the amount of information (measured in bits or whatever) that that particular program requires for eventually producing outputs at indices > k, aside from the information needed to represent the program itself.

As long as you formally define a way to measure information and a way to represent your program, I think you should be able to come up with a definition as I did above to define "program state" formally. You just need to be willing to do that, is all.
This is extraordinarily complex and admittedly contrived. In the end, it doesn’t do anything to help you pick good colors for your theme.

It seems like support for live edits, so you can edit the theme with immediate feedback, is far more important than this sort of compile-time checking?
Blowing up the backend and a 50ms freeze is comparing apples with oranges.

If you have code that freezes the backend for 50ms you're unlikely to notice it. And if the code running in the browser blows up you're going to notice just like in the backend case.

Also, JS is not the only language that runs in the browser. You have TypeScript, as well as any language that compiles to wasm. If you want one that's not bad, it's up to you to pick one.
That was conjecture on my part. Now that I read more of that investopedia link, I see it likely came from Jobs, which would explain the use of the phrase at Apple,

> Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, notably used the expression in 1979 during a visit to Xerox Parc. He reportedly said: “Look, I will let you invest a million dollars in Apple if you will sort of open the kimono on Xerox Parc.” This memorable expression and meeting apparently led to him discovering the mouse, and Apple subsequently launching the first commercial mouse. [1]

In that context it seems fine to me. He's talking about a product. Now, clearly, "open the kimono" means to bare something naked. If you ask a person to be more "open kimono" as a way of asking them to be more open, I think that crosses a line. And, maybe if you suggest someone go "open kimono" on their work, that could be received offensively while not being intended that way. So, context matters. I'd probably steer clear of it entirely though.

Tho, in my biased sample, French I talked with were not shocked at that that Napoleon is remember negatively where I am from. They took it as understandable that parts of world he came through will see him destruction from abroad.

Oddly, Americans got offended over idea of Napolean not being hero or worth praise. On HN there was even pearl clutching about "judging past by current standards", but he was disliked significantly more at his time (of course, for us it is past irrelevant history for them it was death of close ones, property destruction and hunger).
I once had a FAANG client call out someone from my company for using that phrase. To be fair, it seems more sexually evocative than is really necessary when talking about metrics on PowerPoint slides.
Dream Lift Skin Serum
The absolute initial one we wish to call attention to is collagen itself. Dream Lift Serum comprises of entire collagen particles. Numerous diferent creams out there simply contain incomplete atoms, yet those simply don't offer the benefits that entire one can. We love creators that indeed care about the fixings they use.

Nice ad hominem, I'm actually a mathematician/physicist. Pi has many different constructions and Archimedes' method of creating an n-gon provided the intuition for Newton's later infinite series identities.

Alternative definition:

* product-first engineers have been tamed by the company and can be expected to obey orders and perform tricks for rewards (money, coffee, biscuits, etc). For them code is just a means to an end because they have strayed from the path.

* code-first engineers haven’t had the love of coding slowly but inevitably squeezed out of them yet. Companies hate them because they’re more interested in writing code poetry than working on their assigned widgets, as any good product-focused engineer should.

> Would the proof completely fall apart if the algorithm could update itself to handle the new information? The only thing stopping it is that in the formulation of the problem, the algorithm is assumed to not be able to change with new information (ie it's not an "online" algorithm).

First an online algorithm is an algorithm that process a stream instead of the full input. It's not because it changes.

Regarding the halting problem, lets assume that you give me a program can change itself and you claim solves the halting problem. Use Turings proof on that and it proves that you have not solved the halting problem for all inputs, because it just gave you one that it produced the wrong answer for.
Adding to that one in my case what I define as "leisure time" time is defined as hard physical labor in normal terms, e.g. hiking, weightlifting, pouring concrete, cutting trees. I do it on my own tempo of course so it's not stressful, but I've found a long time ago it's the best way to relax from all day screen sessions, which happen often.
It was a very clean ISA at the time, which made it quite easy to learn. Though if you want to learn a modern ISA today you'd pick RISC-V which is almost as simple.
“Open the kimono” isn’t that another way of saying “open the article of clothing primarily worn by women”? To be honest this is the first time I’ve heard the term but it sounds rather problematic.

Edit: explain downvotes and don’t downvote just because you don’t like the perspective. Sure there are men’s kimonos but ask some random person on the street and ask who wears kimonos and men will not be the answer.

> Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it. The assertion that the Moscow subway is the only one in the world is a lie only so long as the Bolsheviks have not the power to destroy all the others. In other words, the method of infallible prediction, more than any other totalitarian propaganda device, betrays its ultimate goal of world conquest, since only in a world completely under his control could the totalitarian ruler possibly realize all his lies and make true all his prophecies.

Perhaps interesting to note that this vulnerability and the HTTP/2 one before it, do not affect earlier versions of haproxy like 1.7. This one was part of HTX, something that was added in later versions. HTX was a solution to accomodate HTTP/2, 3 and whatever the online ad services company comes up with next to accomodate its online advertiser customers. Complexity. HTX wasnt necessary for HTTP/0.9, 1.0 or 1.1.
As I understand, I may be wrong, burning it releases the carbon to the atmosphere, but also releases some noxious chemicals unless burned at high temperatures, which often requires energy input. And any ash that's left can be problematic too.

Also I believe landfills will be future mines.

I wonder if it's possible though to turn garbage to charcoal, to sequester the carbon in a more stable form, and at the same time burn the 'wood-gas' for energy. Like bio-char, garbage-char.

Thanks Hodgson, SSL certificate expiring before the times of Let's Encrypt was the stuff for nightmare. I had to dedicate some day every 3 months to renew SSL certificates for my websites.

But now with Lets Encrypt & autocert(Go) it's not the case anymore. But still Little Warden would be useful to detect nasty surprises and besides you're offering other features.

While they are real, the name is a little misleading. Virtual particles are not quite the same kind of disturbance in a field as full-blown, bona-fide, certified particles.

They're two different kind of object that come out of the equations, and they happily interract or turn into each other sometimes.

But Virtual Particle doesn't mean they're not real, and also doesn't mean they're particles :)

How did you explain the 8 year gap on your resume, when looking for work? I'm on my 5th year, and while I've been busy the whole time, am not sure how to explain the gap to prospective employers. I've also learned so many new skills that my old network doesn't match what I'd like to be doing.
I don't agree with that at all. Opening an investigation after a complaint is reasonable. If you find the complaint to not be relevant, the right response is to fire the employee who made the complaint? That doesn't seem useful, it will just up the cost of complaints for employees by a lot, so you get fewer complaints and have fewer chances to fix issues.

Firing someone who has become oppositional, doesn't seem to have any interest in "patching things up", discloses confidential information and trash talks you on Twitter? That seems perfectly reasonable. There's no point in keeping them on the pay roll.
Nuclear weapons are utter madness to be "messing around" with, we need to dismantle all of them to make sure no accidents occur.
I'd wager that folks just get obsessed with what worked for them. Really, even more acutely, they become obsessed with what they are currently doing.

that's an incredible video.

first, the newscaster says 'spies'. i don't think i've seen or heard that anywhere before. i've read 'officials' and 'embassy staff' and the like, but i assumed all the weird secrecy meant it was really CIA that were being targeted.

then CIA dude gets on there and says "act of war".

what??

all the covered up medical reports, all the undermining of the victims, it's....just loco.

if i had to take a guess as to why the US is acting the way it is -- that is, doing its best to cover it all up -- it's because we don't want to admit that russia (or someone) is absolutely _destroying_ us - figuratively and literally - and we have no real idea how.

and we just see it as the cost of doing business.

i'm not about to feel sorry for the CIA, especially so close to the Chilean 9/11, but it still feels wrong.

also, why didn't the CIA stop American 9/11? i have to go back and read the whitewash report. eh, sidetracked.
Youre right. They sold to Luxxotica. Thanks for the correction.

> In reality, Investopedia is probably labeling it "offensive" for people like me who know it is not offensive, but are unaware that using it could lead to problems.

Nothing is objectively inoffensive. Whether something is or not depends on delivery and to whom it's delivered. Clearly "open kimono" does imply nakedness, so if you ask a person to be "open kimono" I can see how someone might be offended by that when just saying "be more open" would serve. I don't know the exact phrasing that this employee found offensive. It could just be a misunderstanding where a manager was saying they need to "open the kimono" on a product, such as by making an API that other people can use to easily interface it.
It never quite felt "ready"; it's development and docs always felt like an after thought. I guess it's more to do with marketing than the actual service. And I'm always afraid they're going to axe the thing. It probably is ready enough to give it a whirl.

I think the confusion stems from the fact that India has a surplus of IT employees. The sheer number of universities and software graduates is hard for Western countries to imagine.

As such, you will see a massive salary range, anywhere from 3-60 lakhs per year. It’s hard to calculate based on experience - tenure, tech stack, or otherwise.

The lower end is dominated by body shops that take the bulk of offshored projects, since that’s exactly what Western companies want. The higher end is dominated by FAANG and VC funded startups. Moreover, the majority of companies do not have significant yearly raises, and jumping jobs is the often the only solution.
John Baez is actually quite level headed, one of my idols, and I see nothing wrong with that list.

However OP wasn't even asserting anything of a discovery or a revolution. He actually ended his post by asking a question: "Then, I suppose, the question further resolves to: which assumption makes our equations easier to work with?"

Any decent man would have explained to OP about how the best fitting generalizations/abstractions in mathematics and physics also fit the most specific cases. Instead we had a gatekeeper put OP down like a wild fox in a hen house. It's shit like that, that makes humanity stink of arrogance and petulance. It's people like that, that discourage positivity while dispersing platitudes. Their subscription to authority has no basis in merit, it is exactly like John Baez says: "Crackpot Index #9) List your credentials"

Not necessarily better.

Usually you want a recurring task that start after the previous invocation finished. Recursive setTimeout is the straight forward choice, while setInterval may require you to cancel the interval, making you just reimplementing setTimeout.

Scheduling task in setInterval will run the task every interval time set regardless the previous task has finihsed or not. This in turn will starve your hardware if the function could not finish before the next execution begin.

No surprise. When she tweeted that they wanted an extremely short notice meeting about a “serious issue,” I knew she was done. This is how most of the big companies do their firings these days.

Definitely not sympathizing with her, though. She brought this on herself, 100%. Constantly campaigning against your employer, in a very public forum to boot, is eventually going to draw their ire. She had a very generous title and salary for what looked like limited experience in the field and it seemed they were paying for her to obtain an unrelated J.D. Very generous, I’d say.

If you keep biting the hand that feeds you, eventually the hand - and the food - gets withdrawn.

A bit tangential, but I’ve never understood why people stay in jobs they can’t stand to the point where they self implode like this. I’m sure there were other teams, other roles at Apple in which she could have found herself.
This was really when people started figuring out how bad fallout from thermonuclear bombs could be. General Fields described it most lucidly:

"If Bravo had been detonated in Washington, D.C., instead of Bikini, Fields illustrated with a diagram, that lifetime dose in the Washington-Baltimore area would have been 5,000 roentgens; in Philadelphia, more than 1,000 roentgens; in New York City, more than 500, or enough to result in death for half the population if fully exposed to all the radiation delivered. This diagram was classified secret and received very little distribution beyond the Commissioners." [1]

Image reproduced here [2].

Thermonuclear bombs are really terrifying. If one goes off and you're in the fallout zone do not go outside for at least 2 weeks. If you survive the initial blast you have about 10 minutes to get inside where you must stay. If you're still outside and it's 'snowing' ash you're already dead. More tips and tricks in [3].

Though these days, they say it's likely that a single individual or small group can have even worse impact from a basement bioterror lab.

About footnote, claiming is not the same than telling truth.

A lot of corporations are making their own "laws" (warranty stickers, abusive contract clauses, anti-piracy disclaimers, etc.) and they are keeping them even when they know it's total lies.

Authorities also take what corporations tell them as granted truth.

So even if the odds are in favor of corporations being right (corps are usually a lot of people), don't fall in that kind of trap especially when it favors the corporation or if there are facts casting doubts.

Given the track history of near nuclear accidents, attempting to dismantle all of the existing ones may be statistically more likely to cause an accident, simply in the dismantling process.

I'm still mind bogglingly confused at how badly the San Onofre nuclear power plant got butchered that I really think there was sabotage involved. It's hard to believe what happened to the place is all because of sheer stupidity.
I didn't need to click it to know it was bad, but come on... still, there's a nugget of common folk wisdom there I guess, but it's funner to imagine why a discipline would produce studies about such things.
