In America at least people generally mean Herbal tea to mean any beverage steeped with plants that is not made with the actual tea plant. They also may or may not be including Yerba Mate in this, which is a South American beverage made with a different plant, but still caffeinated.
In other cooking context Herbs pretty much mean fresh (not dried) plants that are used to add an aromatic flavor, such as Basil or Rosemary. A chef would not refer to a carrot as an herb.

Hmm I built something like this on top of Svelte Cloudflare workers API, and the configs controller for the site itself is using a Notion table.

The reason I built this to replace a Wordpress site is because the rest of our ecosystem is a bunch of Svelte apps, and with this we could just drop content from Notion straight into our site.

We can even use fancy pants things like synced blocks for site-wide announcements, etc. etc.

One caveat with using Notion though is that without a good caching strategy (which we don't have), the site's going to be pretty slow, because Notion's API just fetches block by block. You have to have a "cache mode" for production - something that fetches and caches every X amount of time, and have users hit the cache rather than straight from Notion, since it sometimes can take 10+ seconds, which will time out your worker.
There's some dust on it, but I made a proof-of-concept OPAQUE implementation some years back (disclaimer: this was done for educational, not security, purposes). The README has some good discussion of the various components of OPAQUE, and I'd argue the code (mostly C) is quite readable. If folks are interested, I'd encourage them to take a look: https://github.com/GeorgeLyon/Opaque.
finally. this is huge. hopefully there isn't some other angle we are not seeing
In it's current form/state, ClickHouse is not optimized for typical JOIN-type queries, a point we make in the post. You would have to re-write your statement to get better performance. The other main point is that all data is "immutable", so if your reference data needs to be updated, it would still need to go through some kind of asynchronous transform process to ensure you're getting the correct values at query time.

TimescaleDB is PostgreSQL, so it can easily handle this kind of join aggregate like you would expect. If "m.measurement" was compressed, historical queries with a time predicate would likely be faster than uncompressed state.
Honestly, we should give the Federal Reserve performance-based pay. Elon Musk has literally been paid billions for Tesla's phenomenal stock outperformance, why shouldn't we pay the Fed Chairs tens of millions for sustained real GDP growth above 4% balanced with low wealth inequality, low inflation, and low unemployment? They have the most important job in America and they should be paid like it if they do well

And nobody can know and do every damn thing that's why we have teams and an org. Sometimes you're in the room with experts from different specialties that don't understand each other. Sometimes you're in a team with very disparate domain expertise... Not getting anywhere in meetings is not always the sign of a dysfunctional org or stupid colleagues. It's everyday, everywhere, with everyone.

And. What if it's your customer in the room? Are you firing them for being 'stupid'?

The superclever types that thing their colleagues are stupid are often the most dangerous, as they'll just 'go it alone' and then leave when they fuck up and suddenly everyone is stupid and not grateful.

> The problem with this technique is that it can backfire if people start repeating it as what was actually being asserted. For example, the horse paste meme has backfired when it came to Rogan and the CNN doctor. When this happens, now the debunkers are on the defensive and they don't have a great way out of it since they're no longer on the side of accuracy and truth.

This is the problem with tribal audiences. CNN can say to its audience (mainly older liberals) that ivermection is horse paste, and face no repercussions. Conformity is so valued by society as a whole, that no one is going to stand up for the truth on CNN itself. But then in those brief moments when the outside world comes in, their bluff is called.

The right does it as well, and your mockery maximization principle (great name BTW) mandates that the meme is produced solely for their primary audience to sell clicks.
Wonderful, but still disappointed that easy strict-type-wrapping is not a thing yet.

There have been a few RFC trying to work on deriving a type from another, and while I agree it's much more complex than it sounds, I also find it's a huge missing point.

If I have to reimplement a wrapper myself for all Traits, I most likely won't bother, leading to less typesafety, leading to more bugs :(

It's logistically more complicated than this...

- You can create electricity but how do you deliver it? The existing power lines, transformers, and other parts aren't enough. The grids need to be upgraded. This takes time, planning, and money.

- Many people don't have the income to buy new vehicles. Especially at the costs for electric cars today. They often buy low cost used cars. Low cost electric used cars often don't have range due to old batteries. The car costs aren't working for a large chunk of the population.

- Buses, construction equipment, worksite/home generators, and a lot of other things run on gas and we don't have functional replacements for them right now. Cars are the easy part. There are a lot of other gas powered things that are harder and still need viable solutions.

If we really wanted to do the environmental thing we'd focus on public transit. Moving lots of people at low costs and environmental impact. This would work for cities and suburbs. It would have a better environmental impact than moving people to electric cars.

The lack of looking at things holistically makes me wonder what the real goals are and for whom.
I don't. I would prefer that to the other, honestly, or even over one that came from a currently-deceased person.

Maybe they could even use my own cells to make the organ. Then it's just my kidney 2.0. That's much easier to digest mentally.

That being said, I'm for finding medical advancements that will extend and improve human life, even if that advancement comes from animal organs (at least temporarily). For me the goal is to decrease suffering. I can deal with a little revulsion to the method as for me the end definitely justifies the means.
Carbon capture using trees is very common. Most carbin offset programs fund this.

And since I see one confused person with a dead comment about memes being "funny internet pictures", this comment is here to point out: that meaning was born out of misunderstanding. Memes are just ideas, described in a way analogous to genes. Ideas spread (through communication instead of reproduction), they mutate, they compete. It was coined by Richard Dawkins.

At some point someone described funny internet pictures as memes, accurately, and then roughly a billion people were exposed to the word without looking it up and changed the meaning.
Not all states preclude including sales tax in advertised prices. According to this website, https://www.taxjar.com/blog/retail/can-retailer-include-sale..., and by a quick count, at least 20 states permit combined pricing without any more limitation than a posted sign. That count excludes states which only permit it for a limited set of products and services, or which require sales tax to be itemized on the receipt.

Perhaps you're confusing VAT vs sales tax, which is an entirely different issue, and while some politicians might prefer a sales tax on the presumption of its conspicuousness, the real debate regarding adopting VAT is far more complex. VAT does seem to be the darling of many economists, but those economists also tend to overlook the fact that Europe has significantly larger grey and black markets, as well as more tax evasion, than the U.S.; and some of that difference is arguably a consequence of the mechanics of VAT and the general preference for hiding the taxation system from individuals.

It's also worth noting that there are good reasons for itemizing sales tax separately. For example, for individuals state sales tax can be deducted from federal income, but not the cost of the item itself.
And why would webapps give Apple complete control?

Someone develops a webapp, I can make my own phone and anyone who wants to continue using all the webapps they were using in Safari on their iPhone can come over and do that in the browser on my phone.

People develop native apps for the iPhone, and suddenly leaving the iPhone means leaving behind all those apps.
I would expect areas of lower vaccination coverage to show higher hospitalization rates, not necessarily higher infection rates. Got any studies on that statistic perchance?

The infection rate is unreliable because it requires people allowing themselves to be tested when sick, and I would expect people that refuse to be vaccinated also refuse to be tested, on the same grounds.
> but still— I'm a long-term Julia fan, professional data scientist, mathy PhD, would hope that's at least table stakes.

I don't understand this part. Are you saying you're a "professional data scientist" with a "mathy PhD" who has a "light-to-moderate amount" of machine learning knowledge? How did you get the job?

I would expect anyone with a mathy PhD to understand ODEs and PDEs, and neural ODEs are commonly understood (by those who read the papers, where I think it is an appropriate assumption that people who want to understand this stuff would do) to be effectively infinite-depth neural networks where every layer represents the same function.
Areas of high density can be heated with nuclear power, tapping directly into existing district heating systems.

Insulation and design standards need to be stepped up, with passivhaus the standard if it isn't already.
There's a flip side to this. Not sure if it's mentioned in the article since I only skimmed it. The complementary point is that it really is stupid to try and make other people look stupid. And it's stupid because it's counter-productive, not because it reveals that you're trying to learn something, which is covered by the article. This problem seems to be endemic in tech (although, subjectively, it seems to have improved over the past couple years or so). It's such a trope and a drag to deal with people who act like everything is obvious. Don't they enjoy talking about things they understand? Then they should act like all questions are great and answer them with words. It's fun for the whole family. Actually, that does seem to maybe cut to the heart of the matter. Maybe those types don't like "dumb" questions because they don't really understand anything and are trying to hide it.

P.S. I guess the article does touch on this when it mentions the anecdote about the people in class and the "dumb" questions being posed to the teacher. Come to think of it, I guess the whole article is kinda like a commentary on this phenomenon actually :).
Good idea, thanks !

Like many Americans, we have a mix of electric and natural gas appliances. Historically, natural gas prices have been significantly cheaper than electricity prices, and that's an important factor to take into consideration when trying to estimate the lifetime costs of new appliances (mainly things that need to generate heat: stoves, laundry machines, water heaters, pool heaters...). Is there any reason to suspect that natural gas prices might rise significantly in comparison to electricity prices in the next, say, ~30 years? What resources might one look for in order to try to answer a question like that?

Fossil fuels are going, and big changes to the economy are coming. That part is certainly correct. Predicting doom, collapse, and chaos doesn’t necessarily follow, and there’s a schadenfreude risk that you might fall into some cognitive traps, like wanting the apocalypse to come so that you can tell everyone you were right, or so you can finally make use of all that tinned food and ammo you hoarded.

You’ll get better expected returns from working to avert disaster than panicking about it.

In my case with 4k monitors and virgl, it's substantially faster and a desktop env feels native. Spice feels quite laggy to me.

The downside is that the sdl or gtk interface is coupled to the running vm and if they crash, the vm goes too. And in my experience, they crash a lot. I've been unable to get a two monitor setup working with either the sdl or gtk display but it works fine via spice.
> This is a baffling. "Something that is always changing could be seen as not changing because it's never not changing." I'm having a hard time seeing that as a good-faith rebuttal.

I think we are talking in abstract platitudes to such an extent that the forest might get missing for the trees.

In practical terms, a workaholic can fit the mold of "I have many ideas, I'm working hard to achieve them, and I'd like to keep it that way.". A workaholic can also have all the characteristics of a complacent individual - brimming with self-satisfaction, satisfied with their routine, self-smug attitude, no desire to change their ways.

Ironically, a workaholic could justify such an attitude to themselves by calling other people complacent.

And just for reference, the dictionary definition of the word complacent:

complacent: marked by self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies

Not sure that's necessarily fair. If you're 75, you probably don't want your retirement nest egg in 100% stocks. There isn't a policy congress could institute that guarantees stocks will retain their value in a 4 year window.
you can achieve the same effect by making plastic with captured co2 [1]. Carbon would stay in plastic for very long time.

This way you get to reuse all the (enormous) existing infrastructure, as well.

> In particular twitter has (primitive) transclusions: by manually breaking up your writing into awkward ≤ 280 char chunks you basically allow other people to quote and comment or reply to them, recursively. Although tweets can and frequently do get deleted, that is the only form these transclusions break; they don't silently and unverifiably change content.

Is what I'm doing right now not some kind of transclusion? It's even more primitive than Twitter. Plus you can delete or edit your comment but my reply retains context. Twitter would present it better, maybe structure it more semantically, but that's hardly a killer feature over traditional web text in my opinion. Maybe if you're a social researcher, sure, Twitter knocks your socks off. But otherwise, I think we can have a perfectly productive discussion in this manner no?

I argue it's even better because the person who replies (i.e., me in this instance) can break up the original text to reply to a specific point, include as much context as possible. Sure I can misquote you to benefit my argument but it's easy to call bad faith.

(As for verifiability especially of who typed what, I wouldn't argue on that front. Online it's basically a huge game of he said, she said. You can add barriers to make falsification difficult but that won't stop a determined and well-resourced fascist regime or two. Again, just my 2c.)

Compression in TimescaleDB used to mean all compressed data was immutable and the table schema couldn't be altered. Since TimescaleDB 2.1, and 2.3 that has changed in a few ways.

- Schema can now have columns added or renamed
- Compressed chunks can now have rows inserted into them (partially compressed, the background job will fully compress when it runs)

Row deletion is not possible yet, but I've personally been having some internal conversations around ways to do exactly as you're suggesting in the near-term; deleting rows based on a "segmentby" column. I have some testing to do... but my focus has been taken up by a certain, 33-minute long read, blog post.
