Half as much damage as coal is a pretty low bar! Natural gas also meets it, for example.

Your broader point is strong though, and there's no reason 4th-gen nuclear power plants being designed now couldn't deliver a quarter (or less) the damage of coal while still being economical.

Sorry, but the (max) board size is not known in advance. Board grows as the Turing machine simulator is running.

> What you can then do instead is, for example, to update the first half of the board in one transaction and then the second half in another transaction, i.e. two transactions are one generation

Yes, we just need to add the external "driver" that partitions the board, determines the bounds of board parts, constructs transactions that do all the necessary work of updating the board, checks whether the computation is finished - in other words, does the hard work of partitioning the computation in the chunks of fixed predetermined size, which is only necessary because bitcoin script is not turing-complete.
> That would effectively end the war on drugs.

Given that the war on drugs existed before the ramp up of civil forfeiture, I doubt that. But I’m down to find out if you can get that single law passed - my point was the perception of drug dealers rich off drug money are the reason there’s not a lot of support for ending civil forfeiture.
Parents who want to pay for your college are abusive? I think you use that word extremely liberally.

You are 100% correct that a person ought to be entirely independent upon reaching adulthood, if he/she so chooses. You know how you do it? "Mom, Dad, I'm not going to play by your rules any more, thanks but no thanks, I'm going to make my own way out there in the world." How successful are you going to be as an independent person if you don't have the balls to make a simple statement like that, if instead of declaring independence, your only means of resolving this conflict is by calling the cops and sending your parents to jail because they "abused" you by asking you to install some app?
That's an awful lot of money for canvas, rubber, and eyelets.
One cubic foot of air displaces one cubic foot of water (compression notwithstanding). A cubic foot of water weighs 62lbs. I think you're vastly underestimating the bouyancy of an inflated bag. Try to pull a standard birthday party balloon underwater. It's nearly impossible to do. You would need a tremendous amount of extra weight to submerge a goatskin full of air.
Well in USA it is not illegal to carry cash (and for a good reason) but more than theft you have to worry about cops stealing it. Which is what makes it problematic.

If you are an actual drug dealer you can hire one of those armored cash moving trucks to move your cash and the cops will never bother stopping it.
The way price controls affect supply is people build less of the thing who's price your controlling.

The "wiki game" where two people click Random Page and try to get to each other's page via blue links only is one of my favorites.

Obviously we never got there optimally but very cool to see this visualized and created.

semi-related, I wonder if there are any new papers on how to optimally generate blue links on Wiki pages and how great linking can happen more auto-magically!
I'm not picky, st least I don't think so. I just want the DE not to get in my way.

Unwanted popups, slow and "fancy" effects that makes your workflow slower, weird default behavior (like alt-tab with gnome), multiple clicks to do what you used to do with 1, etc.

I don't think that's being picky, it's just wanting something that works and doesn't infuriate you with every new update.
From the perspective of a US MD Medical Student. While the match system is certainly imperfect the numbers and points the report makes are either misleading or downright wrong.

First, the match rates they reference are pre-soap numbers. In reality, the majority (~99%) of US trained medical students do match somewhere.

Second, there are more positions (~38,000) than there are MD graduates (~32,000). Most of these positions are in primary care (Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine) (~17000).

Third, most of the unmatched physicians in this country are either US citizens who had to train internationally or foreign citizens who are attempting to gain US certifications.

Lastly, NRMP is actually extremely transparent with match data; this reference backs up my claims:
https://mk0nrmp3oyqui6wqfm.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/...

From my perspective the issues with the match system are below:
1. Application Fever. The average applicant applies to 50-80 programs (depending on specialty) to guarantee matching.
2. Useful work hours. Many residents work 60-80 hours a week with much of this work being scut work rather than useful learning.
3. Low salary and benefits relative to training. Residency salaries are between 50k-70k annual which can be extremely difficult for families living in NYC or SF.
4. Inability to quit or switch programs. Many residents also don't have too much choice in residency location. In Washington State for example the residency positions available are extremely limited.
Placebos in clinical care: a suggestion beyond the evidence
I always laugh when I remember my old manager calling a meeting where he talked about our product not being profitable and us needing to pull out all the stops to fix that, including reducing the headcount, and then being shocked and angry that someone had started a "rumor" about layoffs. He had meant through attrition, but it was a misinterpretation that I think should have been predictable in context. If you're in a position of authority you have to be careful about what messages you send.
Also because Russia under his rule is far better than it was during the 90's. Their economic progress has been remarkable after a major collapse.
And also in comparison to the utter diaster that was the brief period of democracy in Russia. The 90s were utterly horrible to live through.

Now, the reason the 90s were a disaster were not because Russia was a democracy, but nobody will take a foreigner making that argument seriously (and Putin can deal with locals making that argument).
OpenStep was still based on Mach 2 and (encumbered) 4.3BSD.

OS X Server 1.0 was very OpenStep like yes, it used the old Display Postscript server and was more compatible with next/openstep (I think the display servers were similar enough you could forward OpenSTEP software to a OS X Server 1.0 windowserver), but I believe it was based on the un-encumbered XNU, and couldn't directly run OpenSTEP programs due to this impedance. I'm fairly certain Rhapsody is the same, using the OSFMK kernel and 4.4BSD "lite".

At least, I don't think OS X Server 1.0 software would have worked on the OpenSTEP for Enterprise stuff?
This is great, but wouldn’t it be easier to use a LaTeX ebook transformer since many books are already set in TeX?
Stalin ruled for almost 30 years, it was always collective, however in the 1930s the cult of personality was at its height and the rest of the Politburo and the Central Military Commission (the really important subset of the Politburo) were entirely under his control.

People who were against the PATRIOT act were not "pro-terrorism" and similarly being opposed to this sort of law certainly doesn't mean that one is "pro-abortion."
VBA was not recent. Also, you'd be amazed by Turing Complete things like what someone determined can do with just VLOOKUP(). That's even before you get into truly abstract models of things proven Turing Complete such as Rule 110 of Cellular Automata and how easy/hard you can implement them in Excel without VBA Macros or "advanced functions".
I'm a huge fan of LeechBlock [1] and use it on every general-purpose computer that I own. I commit various blocklists to a public GitHub repo and configure each instance to download the lists at startup. I have a hard block list for useless/previously-overfrequented sites and a soft block that is configured to block after a specified period; the soft block is also configured as a hard block on my work laptop.

It's astounding how your thought process changes when you aren't stuck compulsively doom-scrolling through ML-derived feeds of worthless nonsense.

In fairness, his audience was his manager, not the app's users. So it was perfectly rationale for him to push for the relatively easy re-write instead of worrying about the app's users, given that his manager was not a user of the app. As an engineer who finds value in making things people actually find useful, though, it was a pretty dispiriting experience.

Ummm, any kid heading off to college is allowed to say no. What the world doesn't need is cops and judges deciding mundane issues like what apps he/she has on their phone and sending parents to jail for disagreeing.

What else can we make illegal? How about a parent requiring their kid to eat broccoli. How about demanding the kid maintain a C-average before joining a sports team. Let's also make it illegal for a parent to ask the kid to do some basic chores before playing video games. Surely you have some more ideas while we're at it...
And they exist in competition with other telecoms who have different parts of the spectrum, wired service providers and Satellite service providers.

I had to dig in a bit to see the whole scope of this project. It seems go-zero has:

1) Go library/main that wraps gRPC handlers to build a server, like Dropwizard or TwitterServer?

2) A CLI tool "goctl" that does code generation for setting up the code layout (server and client API stubs), as well as some Docker/k8s functionality for deploying.

I'm not into Go so can't comment on aspects like the performance benchmark.

However the project documentation is quite interesting if you'd like to see how, presumably the company for which this was built for, their production environment is set up like CI/CD, logging, etc.

It could be more helpful if the architecture diagram showed the roles of the different pieces better. For example it isn't immediately clear what component does authentication so then the JWT can be used for service authorization. So the question would be is how much is the framework tied to some assumptions in a production setup.

Years ago, I did this with my jailbroken iphone 3gs. When visiting lots of websites, it would serve up the mobile version, so I assumed that the app was somehow modifying request headers to look like a phone request. I guess not as many sites used TLS back then.
It's still not a good practice. Customers do sometimes see log files and when they do it's because things are broken and they're typically not in a good mood.

Perhaps you have a highly orthodox individual as a user, should they be forced to read or even repeat a 'God Damnit' in a log or error message while on the phone with support? Should an atomic-bomb survivor be told that their files were nuked?
I'm not sure they are metaphorical, beyond the sense that nearly all words are. But in any case, isn't it the point that this is subjective? But so is what constitutes a "strange [person]". Is an anti-vaxer "strange", or an "asshole"?

It's not like every society is based on well defined unambiguous rules, sometimes (not) sticking to convention is what discriminates the geniuses and serial killers alike.
Everyone below who advocates abolition of civil asset forfeiture is correct.

The "justification" for it is: a criminal can amass vast sums of money, then use it to buy so many top lawyers that he or she is untouchable.

That may be a problem, but "fixing" the problem requires harming so many people who haven't committed any crime that the fix is worse than the problem. A serious criminal will keep the assets safe from law enforcement, i.e. not in a strip mall "bank."

Why not just require everyone to use a public defender? That would fix the "problem" too. (That was a joke, in case you're wondering.)
Perfect summary but I do not think it is fair to generalize this for "conservatives". This is true for entire American politics. The progressives for example come up with laws that harass their non-voters in rural areas for no good reason. A lot of these laws are around climate change and guns and about minding your own business.

> It's almost like there's something cultural happening in America

Everyone can fill in their pet theory here, but mine is that so much of being American these days is disempowering. Corporations have so much power that not only do they not care about us, but we can't even avoid using them.

Get sick? Good luck fighting your giant health insurance provider or hospital conglomeration.

Looking for an entry-level job? Navigate a Kafka-esque application system only to (if you're lucky) work for a miserable low-level manager who also has no power and transfers that anger onto you.

I did SSH port forwarding through my router so that I could access the modem;

Talking to users is so, so important if you want to build a product people actually want. Discord gets a lot of hate in here, but I haven't found a better product for easily engaging your users. It's lower friction than a phone call, and it's fun to see a small community build up around your product. Eventually, people start brainstorming on ways to improve things and even help each other out from time to time.

I'll add to the list. Be aware of org/process changes. For example, I was working for a company who had been acquired a couple of years earlier. They were transitioning from analog to digital, but were slower than most competitors and weren't doing too well. One day, there was an announcement that some of the merged sales channels were being un-merged. The writing was on the wall, the business unit was being separated in order to sell it off.

It was an easy few months to find another job, and sure enough a bit later the company was sold to a VC firm and then again to another corp. Things could have been fine for me, but I honestly didn't want to go through the two ownership changes. My lesson? The information usually isn't too hidden, you just have to understand the implications of the emails that you usually pass over.
In short: If you are carrying cash you have to worry less about a thug stealing it and worry more about cops stealing it.

I've been researching these cultural echoes of the Proto Indo-Europeans online for some time now; it's fascinating that over a billion people (Catholics, etc.) use roughly the same term 'Deus Pater' to describe their supreme deity up through the modern day without full cognizance of the concept's historical roots. Sky father worship may be the most highly conserved human cultural idea of all time.

Do you have any suggestions for reading material (ideally academic in book form) that covers the archaeological and/or linguistic reconstruction research in depth?
NO implication Joseph Ruiz is doing anything morally or legally wrong, here. Just a warning:

Hoarding cash (the technical term for putting money in a safety deposit, or under your bed) is a really bad way to save.

The current inflation rate is 5.3%, that means you lose 5.3% of the value of any savings each year. Prior to the pandemic, you could get in the region of 2.5% interest in a long-term savings account. That would cut your loss to 2.8% per-year. Currently you'll struggle to get anything over 0.5%, but it's still something. There are options that involve risk that might get you net-positive in the long-run.

950 MB does not look like minimal to me. And the things listedon the homepage do not look like needing 950 MB. Maybe they package also some compilers or interpreters.
I think similar to other situations e.g Starburst with Presto/Trino. There really are a limited number of devs pushing a long the core projects and a lot of people needing support. Each start up in the space can likely grow the pie for support and adoption and a few big enterprises will still hire in house devs.
> When the interface is the code and the output, the lack of consistent implementation is something I find frustrating

This is the reason why spreadsheets are popular in the first place, though. I won't ever defend them - I'm on a project right now that's been working on Excel for years, I know the pain! - but this is something that's worth thinking about.

See also Jupyter Notebooks, yet another invention from the deep pits of hell. The popularity of the interactive paradigm is undeniable. Would the world be better if everyone started using something sane instead? Definitely so. But the world would also be better if every day was Christmas and that's not going to happen either.

So while I share most of your concerns, I'm mostly sympathetic with the OP.

My oh my, that takes me back to the days of quirks mode and early versions of Internet Explorer. I made a good living through college helping design and ad agencies backport stuff to IE5/6/7 and became intimately familiar with the lack of event bubbling support and fan favorites like:

1. IE displaying a blank page with no errors whenever a CSS file of more than 4kb was loaded

2. Resolving CSS rendering issues between IE5/6/7 due to differing rendering strategies for the CSS box model

3. Debugging javascript in IE back when dev tools didn't exist.

For all people harp on the current state of the web, we have come a long, long way.

>Police justified the searches in some cases by saying the driver was nervous or “their carotid artery was pulsating.” In one case, troopers seized $50,282 after a traffic stop and charged the owner of the vehicle, who was not present at the time. In another, they took $525 from a passenger. Judges ultimately dismissed the charges in both cases, finding the searches were illegal. The state returned the $525 but kept $20,000 in the other case.
