I've heard that for years; but has anyone actually, you know, tested this on a dyno? A brief web search just turned up ad-laden pages talking about it, with no evidence that it actually works. My argument against is that by the time the spark plug fires, the intake valve has long since closed, and the air/fuel mixture has been swirling around and can reach that spark just fine, whether the electrode is "blocking" it or not.

Not that it matters, but ex-mechanic here, so I do have some idea how an ICE works.
The performance benefit is negligible at the scale the author of the article is operating at. You already alluded to this point being context-dependent earlier when you said:

Roughly 360,000 rows per year is not sufficiently large. It's tiny.

I knew vim well before I read this advice, so didn't need it myself, but think it's worthy: Go through vimtutor, then use the native vim for you platform that also has a GUI, so when you get frustrated you can 'fall back' to using menus. Over time replace your menu-fallback stuff with "hand on the keyboard" techniques. It was soooo frustrating in the early going with vim. Very distracting from what I was trying to do. (Presumably true for most of us.)
I'm talking about 100% direct copies of 0-20 year old designs of e.g. studless Technic bricks.
Comparing start up capital to free parental money is... Well, it's something. I've had friends make this argument before, and coincidentally they're all ones who had rich parents. "It wasn't the parental money that made me successful, it was hard work!" They all would say in unison.
I learned Vim by watching some videos of a guy talking VERY enthusiastically about Vim. I can't find them anymore though. Was just some programmer explaining Vim in a series of videos. Probably almost 10 years ago. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

This is a strange understanding of "screw them over". Lots of products are sold for a range of different prices, and have been throughout economic history. Amazon appoint themselves "lowest-price king" because they can, not because they have some sort of moral right to that position.

The main part of the pandemic included three waves over almost exactly two years, starting in April 1917. There were "aftershocks" in 1920-21 but those were clearly less virulent strains. OTOH, similar/related H1N1 strains continue to reach concerning levels every few years even today.
More so, any system of rules that was anywhere near complete enough to deal with every situation ever would be so huge and complex that no human could ever read and understand it all, and even searching it properly would be impossible. Which will certainly lead to parts of the rule system contradicting each other and actual cases following one or the other or something else entirely depending on what the person applying it to the case was able to find.

And if some individual's ability to find things or not decides what happens, then we're right back where we started, at a rather arbitrary system vulnerable to corruption. In which case, why did we even bother making this huge incomprehensible set of rules?

See for example the US Tax Code.
>My spouse and I sometimes wonder why so many people who could choose to migrate to the west still stay in India, Pakistan, etc. It is a reminder that those societies do a few things better than the west.

After witnessing my mom waste her prime years caring for my dad's old parents, I pity other women (and anyone else in the same situation) who have no choice due to lack of economic opportunities and are essentially forced to live as maids.

I also suspect the people who could choose to migrate but choose to stay in India, Pakistan, etc are rich enough to hire cooks and maids and drivers. The people who have no option to migrate are the ones you should be wondering about.

I hope that my children do not spend their prime years chronically taking care of me, just like I would not want to do it for someone else. Note the use of the word "chronically", which for my mom, between both paternal grandfather and grandmother, lasted 33 years.

Respectfully, I do it to reflect the overall level of quality and care I put into building a piece. This is my business, so I assure you I'm not being micromanaged. I have been accused of being extremely detail-oriented though.

Whether the customer notices or not is not my concern. I do it to maintain the same high level of work throughout the building process. It costs approximately zero extra time, and at the price of custom work, I don't want to be explaining to the customer that some detail doesn't matter if it's a small matter to do it right in the first place.

Besides, I routinely put $75 worth of hinges alone on a piece[0]. Not clocking the screws would be like putting on a $3000 suit, and then tying the tie with a granny knot and leaving it peeking out from under the collar.

The fact that this level of attentiveness to detail and a will to do the job all the way right instead of just 90% right (or less) isn't much valued in software[1] has a lot to do with why I now build furniture instead.

The quality and tolerances match the price, and they sell sizes and types of hinges that nobody else does.

non-black shadows

That’s cool until it doesn’t match with the lighting in your room. I believe that designers love to work in a complete darkness, otherwise all these shadows start looking very unnatural to the surroundings. We never get the “real” coloring (or contrast, or curves) on our screens, no need to make it worse by adding light sources that aren’t there. You can’t even make two identical part number displays look the same side to side, they’re all different (esp. in 2012).

The text in the article is blue, not dark. Paintings look very off too. Maybe that’s the point, but my light isn’t acid orange to begin with. Also, I feel dizzy by looking at colored shadows that some video bloggers use, it feels like looking at the cheap “white but not really, blinding but not bright” led bulbs.
>>unexpected path electrons can take through 2D, highly structured materials: That path is called branched flow. Branched flow happens when any kind of wave—sound, light, or even ocean—moves across uneven surfaces that bump them into tree-like, chaotic branches. Before now, branched flow had never been observed in such rigid, 2D, solid structures. The discovery could help explain how quantum mechanics influence electron behavior, and also give scientists a way to control electron paths in order to create artificial superconductors with "superwires."*

--

Don't electrons travel in this branched behavior when a piece of wood is hit by lightning/high voltage....?

Does the shape of a wire affect electron pathways? If you formed a wire as it was extruded under super high heat, and the wire was pulled through a strong magnetic field, would that 'impede' the wire's performance or enhance it?

I interviewed someone from China once who wrote code almost as I write prose.

FirstWeCreateAVariableCalledX.AssignItValueY().PassYtoPvalue();

Now imagine 10,000 lines of code written like this and done so in a way that was thoroughly impressive. The creativity alone was startling. I would do it a disservice to further explain.

Yes, her object names were ridiculously long, but it was the most readable code ever. It was like she combined the code and documentation together. I'd seen this neither before nor since, and it was strange and beautiful.
Well, for a sitcom, they get caught in the funniest possible way, which usually turns out to also be the worst (and funniest because it's worst). Humor drives, not morality.
Last time i checked AWS didn't accept prepaid cards. Even if they did, they could still after you if you live in the USA, and if the amount in question is significant, also in other countries.
It’s probably a bigger argument than I can articulate in the time I have available at the moment, but I’ve long believed that this phenomenon, among many other crises, is driven by the rise to dominance of a constellation of philosophical worldviews which center around positivism (and which extends to various failed attempts to overcome it).

The categories of thought which underpin a humanistic education are denied (a priori), except insofar as they are immediately useful to material well-being. The importance of contemplation of the truth is relativized downwards, and thought must justify itself in terms of action: social change, market value, “impact”, etc., which is all another way of saying that truth is made an instrument power[0]. We are living the consequences.

In this light, it becomes apparent that the crisis crosses contested political boundaries (although it is admittedly progressives who currently have the upper hand). The main beneficiaries are, as one might expect, the powerful.

[0]: some may reply that truth has always been a socially constructed instrument if power, and that announcing it as such is simply a reduction in hypocrisy. This criticism must be reversed upon the critic: the proposition is itself a construct only believable in a social idiom which made it so.
Really, a huge part of my quality of life is knowing that I'm doing stuff that makes the world better in various ways-- offsetting some of the ways I make it worse and the resources I use. When I am not able to do this anymore--- what's the point?

I'm with you that you want high contrast, but you also want balance. I think the #000 on #FFF of this textarea I'm in works because the leading is tight, the kerning is appropriate… its information dense. The NYT website is information dense.

WASM (and WASI) are interesting and I personally know a lot of people excited about it. We've also ran a few wasm runtimes such as wasmer inside Nanos.

Having said that, there are a handful of technical limitations {raw sockets, 32bit, dynamic linking, performance, security, threads, TLS} that exist today that prevent a bunch of applications being deployed there and while most of them can be dealt with technically I think just because of where WASM descends from (the browsers) there are some organizational (read: standardization) issues that will probably prevent a lot of it from being dealt with. It's been a while since I looked at it but to me none of these are hard technical issues - they are just issues that the WASM community will need to decide in which direction they want to go and how married to the browsers do they want to be.
Last update to this was 6 years ago and the documentation links are dead.
However from the man page file it seems that this flavour of coroutine cannot be used in the same program as native Tcl coroutines. This would make it useless to me and I suspect to many other people who have an interest in this area.

Maybe, but still very cheap. Unless you are talking about insanely high priced cloud services.

Trademarks are in a weird place for IP law. They don't expire like copyrights or patents, but failure to defend them can cause the trademark to be invalidated, so if a trademark holder doesn't engage in this sort of behavior, they could end up losing all rights to the trademark. From the outside it seems like bullying and aggressive behavior, but for better or for worse, that's how things are set up.

My understanding is that it's not _just_ a tool, but a whole infrastructure around it that the clients use. So presumably, before deploying to a target, it would need to go through NSO infrastructure, so they could vet there.
Having talked with folks who were directly involved in that inter-plant incident, it wasn't fiction and it was a serious threat.
> We’ve almost completely discarded “the establishment” because it’s so hard to fix. But when we lose that, we lose an explicit hierarchy and get the implicit one, which has problems that are impossible to fix. Rather than chasing a thousand new systems, we should be fixing the one we have.

Attacking "the establishment" is a common tactic of those who want to replace the existing somewhat democratic and somewhat accountable elite with their own unelected and unaccountable elite.
Sure thing, and what should or shouldn't require proof of ownership via title or proof of insurance, etc., was never the focus of my comment. Just that ownership disputes can generally be resolved quite easily* by reverting to ownership documents.

*Easily, but not necessarily quickly in the case where you need the document reissued or whatever.

Holy crap... I used to love Lego as a child and I knew some of the kits were expensive. They would be our "main present" at Christmas. But now they are the best part of a grand?! I had no idea people were spending that much on things like this. Maybe stuff like this is why all my friends seem poorer than me despite earning similar money?
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen as we would have heard of it by now (like if someone maintains a fork for years, then suddenly their repo vanishes because the parent went private), but that would be interesting to check what exactly happens. Maybe the text "forked from x" is simply removed from the children repositories.
Well for SSH you can simply edit the authenticated_keys file to get what you want.
So the next obfuscation technique would be to encode strings using a low entropy encoding, yeah?

Thank you, we agree not on opinions, but on concepts. That was my argument even if not perfectly articulated, I,e. That this is what you call above a symmetric relationship, and unfortunately humanitarian pleas will take the back seat from both sides and also there will be reluctance to find common ground, I.e. I cannot deny I view your individual positions as extremely disagreeable, that’s a sign of directionality.

It's a VERY fragile support:

https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/issues/6648

Basically, if two entities in the databases have the same names, Hasura fails unless you manually define a unique `custom_name` for each such entity.

Given that the most common multiple database scenario involves different databases with either the exact same schema (one-db-per-tenant) or similar schemas (staging vs. production database), it forces you to painstakingly set a custom_name for basically every single entity in your db.

Thankfully there is an API so in theory you could set this programmatically, but it still means that your client code needs to be manually kept in-sync with whatever custom name generator rule you used.
Being a noxious frontend dev, the first thing I tested was whether you supported responsive. What I found was that you load a different site based on the viewport size (rather than dynamically changing on resize) which I think is a perfectly serviceable approach to this. Cool project!

PostgREST does solves a few of the core challenges that GraphQL is intended to address like over/under-selection and resource embedding (relationships).

Even so, there has still been a lot of interest in GraphQL so users can leverage the growing ecosystem for things reflecting the data model/types for client usage, offline caching, etc

Yes the definition they give for bullshitting is:

"According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, bullshit is an informal vulgar term which means ‘to talk nonsense, especially with the intent of misleading or deceiving’. The Oxford English Dictionary defines bullshit as ‘to talk nonsense or rubbish’ and ‘to bluff one’s way through something by talking nonsense’"

And the word bluff is a more apt definition for these situations. It is essentially a bluff like in poker. Where the situation is "I might not know what I'm talking about because I'm using vague obfuscated language, but calling me out on it might point out that I don't know what I'm talking about, or it might make you look like you just didn't understand" especially if the audience in also uninformed it can be spun either way
>In a public response, NSO has said its technology helps stop terrorism and that they've installed controls to curb spying against innocent targets. For example, NSO says its intrusion system cannot work on phones with U.S. numbers beginning with the country code +1.

So the point is to stop terrorism and to do that they've immediately ruled that all Americans aren't terrorists. That doesn't seem like a good metric of determining if someone is a terrorist, and makes me doubt their other controls are any better.
It's very responsive, like literally shrinking the contents to fit the width. Like when iPhone was first introduced and you open websites using its browser.

My biggest worry for Apple Silicon was that ARM’s obviously only suited for mobile devices, so it’d only really land in the Air, maybe mb13 - with the concern that this would cause fracturing where “pro” apps were intel only and armbook turned into an AppStore full of flatulent soundboards.

ARM seemed obvious but their results certainly didn’t.
Our goldendoodle sounds very similar to this. She's great at "go see XYZ" or "go get ABC", knows all the party tricks, and will play fetch endlessly without ever wandering off no matter how far I throw the ball.

If she ever happens to see a squirrel or a chipmunk however she'll try to rip the leash off of your arm; if she's ever off-leash and sees a critter like this you can throw the hours of trained recall out the window. Fortunately this has never happened near traffic or a cliff.
