There will be a considerable amount of averaging and re sampling before the final resize. Depending on shape of the region and how samples outside it are handled you may see considerable variation in the results.

What I would be interested in is how much the colour would differ if another colour space were used. I wouldn’t expect a huge change in the imital re projection as adjacent samples are likely to be close in whatever colour space is used, but I think it might change some of the average colours.
Also - totally unrealistic - but what if the ice freezed again, making the cables impermeable to spying and ushering in some kind of golden era of diplomacy and trust.

Sure, but you could argue if it's useful because it's maintained or is it maintained because it's useful? Both. But to what degree?
It was done on purpose, and early on JVM was shipped with Netscape Navigator. The rebranding of LiveScript (iirc) to JavaScript was done to connect to the Java hype of the time.
The price given in the article is not correct though, the 16" M1 Max 64GB is actually 3.900 USD (and I presume this is before sales tax, I'm from a country where advertised prices include VAT).
Probably "The Goal".

After reading "the Phoenix project" a couple of years ago a good deal of it was predictable but that doesn't prevent it from being very interesting.

(To be completely honest I listened to it instead of reading it myself, but I still think it counts.)

Another interesting audiobook is "The Minuteman" maybe only available through Audible. It is a story of part of the fight against nazism in America.

Only annoying thing about it is the author at a couple of places tries to equate that fight with todays antifa, which leaves a rather sour taste there and then but is forgotten a minute or to later because the book is otherwise really interesting and I enjoy stories of nazis getting punched and otherwise punished and people getting away with it.
> ... absent copyright, or some sort of NDA or other agreement.

I'm pretty sure the caveats you started listing here are exactly the type of interesting question the person you're responding to was trying to invoke.

For instance, in the US, if you are my healthcare provider and are granted access to my medical records, the answer is that you can only do a very restricted set of things with that data. Because we -- the US society -- have decided to create "another agreement" called HIPAA.

There's all sorts of stuff like this. GDPR. PCI-DSS. Government-classified information. Anything your company sends out that's marked confidential. These agreements that you so quickly dismiss are exactly where the interesting conversations around data seem to be happening.
IANAL but isn't using the JS snippet a "combined work"?
Swift's normal syntax is very nice and clean compared to Rust that needs to add ownership-related details.

OTOH the way Swift proposes to add ownership-related syntax is obviously a retrofit, and looks verbose. Rust had a syntax designed for ownership from the start. Swift needs extra syntax to first undo the ARC defaults, and then syntax to control the ownership. In this regard, Swift looks noisier.

Swift's `@nonescaping String` is `&str` in Rust. Swift's `arg: consuming Foo` is simply `arg: Foo` in Rust. Swift's `x = move(y)` is `x = y` in Rust.

From the point of view of semantics and functionality, it's all good. Swift's interaction with C was dangerous due to unobvious implicit rules of ARC. Having ability to get compiler-checked guarantees for lifetimes is very helpful.
This guy performed the same experiment using a km long wire and measured the voltage in oscilloscope.

Their frameworks and tools also generally come with extensive documentation...which is quite rare in projects that are proprietary balls of mud written by a single programmer who left the company several years ago.
I don’t have a clear plan for the future, right now I’m just accumulating assets until I get to a point where I can feel financially unbreakable. I might be getting there in ~5 years with some substantial luck, or never if shit hits the fan.

I decided a long time ago that I won’t have kids (not for financial reasons), so there is not much urgency in my life beside the itch to get back more personal time.

Current dream is to early retire with my partner in a small beach town in Mediterranean Europe, and live a simple life.
Congratulations on your own success!

I think you answer this question when you say you “never considered it worthwhile to invest [your time] in a side project” but: how much of that perspective is based on comparing ways of earning income vs the desire to want to build something yourself?
> It makes sense why there is scarcity; after all, this is work done by volunteers in their “free” time.

This is the big fallacity here, although I'm not sure why "free" is in (scare) quotes. FOSS isn't necessarily volunteer free-time development; afaik for example vast majority of Linux development is done by salaried engineers as their day-job. That is the way things should be done imho.
Web 2.0 vs. Web3. What’s going on here?
Ah noice.

I have been doing this with a hand edited kernel.json for a year or two and it works perfectly.. hadn't been looking forward to demoing it to coworkers due to hacky setup.

You've solved the only problem then perfectly!
We just did this discussion recently - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29598860

This video is playing word games, trying to treat an AC phenomenon as if it were DC, which it isn't.

Power in a DC circuit ONLY flows in the conductors. Here's a very simple way to tell if the electricity is actually flowing the the wires or not... stretch the wire to the point where the conductor breaks, but the insulation doesn't... current will drop to zero, unless you have enough voltage to cross the gap.
"Rachel Green Table one" is a nice, funny touch!
That's true in Europe but not in the US, I believe. It is indeed one of the more obnoxious cookie consent banners I've seen.
A quick detour to Godbolt shows all three loop_v4 versions result in exactly identical code, on all the compilers I tried. And, all used the condition code matching the sign bit, directly, so did not do a right shift. All used cmov to select a function to call. (On ARM they used csel, equivalently.)

Running under Google Benchmark, I get:

$ g++ -O2 b.cc -L benchmark/build/src -lbenchmark \

Interesting here is that Clang ends up with the best time, after starting off way behind. (The v2/v2a thing is some kind of testing artifact.)

Benchmarking almost always produces surprising results. It could be just good luck that mine came out fastest.
Thanks for the luck!

The up-and-coming generation of developers have grown up exposed to millionaire content creators. They might start wondering about their cut.
> Be curious, not judgmental

Those two are not opposites. The opposite of curious is that you don't care. Most people don't care about things like the factory reset procedure for lamps. A judgemental person cares or they wouldn't spend energy judging, and in fact one of the best way to sate your curiosity is to be very judgemental online since people will write comments, blogs or articles like this and explain things to you when you do.
By how much will it improve latency between EU and Asia? or US and Asia?
For me, the freelancer's rate has had a serious correlation with quality of deliverables and professionalism.

It's obviously not surefire but with decent screening, it's been cost saving to spend more money on freelancers of all kinds.

It would make no difference: subsea cables are accessed via submarine, which don't care about ice (or no ice).

That's a lovely landing page and a nice domain you have there.

I really like the idea of a premium search engine too, I'll give it a go for sure.

I'm a little uncomfortable with having to be logged in though... Ideally if I'm going to pay for a search engine I would like to do that as anonymously as possible.

Best of luck with the project, I'd love to see some competition in search again. Google has been getting worse for years and they have no real incentive to improve given their dominance and lack of disruption in the space.
Still reading it actually, but definitely "The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the transition to the information age" by James Davidson and William Rees-Mogg (actually the father of current UK politician Jacob Rees-Mogg)

Its main thesis is that the main driver of megapolitical change are shifts in the risk/reward payoffs of violence. Was written in '97 but still talks about cryptocurrency and things like that. Interesting book.
Of course, you know Stalin was Georgian, right?

You know also that Russia is not the USSR, right?
How do they find mice with ALS?
It is easy to make my 2019 16" MBP consume more than the 96W that the included charger provides. Loading the CPU alone gets you close to that. Just add some discrete GPU work and there you go.

In fact, since connecting an external display enables the dGPU, the consumption can increase enough to get you over 96W with the CPU alone
Isn't it literally true that electricity, magnetism, light, radio waves and so on are manifestations of the same electromagnetic force?

It may not be useful to the everyday end user, like most computer chips only using binary, but still a fundamental truth that has sometimes obscure real world implications, like float rounding?

It's not so much generosity, but a social matter of course that people help each other. It's nice to be appreciated. But one usually also benefits from the help of others and shows them appreciation. It actually only becomes generous when you give far more than you receive. As an open source developer, I receive at least as much as I give.
I'm using Emacs in a floating window under I3wm that I can toggle into the scrap buffer and back with a key binding. Doing the same with one terminal. This inspiration for this also came from the console in Quake.
This is a pretty good example of the Overton window moving. It used to be common for Presidents to divest direct control of their assets (e.g. Carter’s peanut farm). Trump never did that and it was a huge issue for many at the start of his presidency.
It's not, but with a little more imagination you could certainly take the author's work to the next level. Inline CSS and images as blobs.

Then in practice the issue becomes a bloated file that isn't able to reuse internal components, at least not without introducing a layer of complexity such as a scripting language and browser APIs to go with it.

Perhaps if HTML had been designed with more component re-usability in mind, the landscape of the internet would look very different today. Then again, what sense would there be in having a single HTML file for a site like Wikipedia or Altavista? And imagining the web evolving without a scripting language would be naive.

Single file websites that could be served up on blob or network storage certainly appeal to me, especially today.
Is $15 an hour the answer?

Gossip protocols are amazing! I wish there was less of a gap between federated and p2p protocols: SSB has "pubs" which like "centralized" places of gossip (tongues untie after a beer!) but the other way around is really uncommon (federated protocols supporting gossip when your server is unreachable).

The only problem with the gossip-first architecture is that every message needs to be public which is a not a tradeoff everybody's willing to make, if only because you need a lot of storage space for everyone's blabber :)

On a more technical level, SSB protocol is really nice but part of me really hates that signatures are inlined in the JSON message. This means you have to do two levels of (de)serialization every message?! It would be more resource-efficient to use a special prefix/suffix for signatures, like so:

\EOFsigtype:signature\EOF
{
...
}
Or, you could do every bit of work as if it were for a vital infrastructure project.

That’s what I do. Even my “farting around” projects have a lot of polish. I write everything I do as if it will ship.

I find it establishes great work habits and personal integrity, and my GH ids (I have a personal one, and a couple of org ones) make outstanding portfolios[0].

Not to worry, though. My experience, is that potential employers never look at at GH portfolios. Instead, they rely on leetcode tests to evaluate applicants.

My favorite part was probably the American Pie discussion, but this paragraph highlights the pun overload in this book well:

Exodus 15:3 says “The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His Name.” But this verse is ambiguous: “man of war” can mean either a type of Portuguese jellyfish or a type of British warship. Which one is the LORD? I suggest that He is the latter. A jellyfish is a primitive and ignorant animal, unworthy to be compared to the glories of God. But a warship is mighty and inspires awe, and divine comparisons are entirely suitable; indeed, God may be the only thing worthy of being compared to it. For it is written, “The LORD alone is worthy of warship.”
Wait... what, how?
It took them 6 paragraphs to mention mice. Thats astonishing how much they oversell this kind of stuff.
It's really only about 43k and it loads instantaneously for me. The rest is scripts and other stuff that's cached. I think this is the right tradeoff for an ultra-popular site.
US to Asia will be literally a backup routing, since that the best routes between Japan and western US coast are already continuously constructed and maintained. EU and Japan would be godsend, the best direct link would be through China, which is politically and practically (even with the best of diplomatic relations, terrestrial cable linking is much more complicated due to mountains, rivers and other obstacles) impossible. Although there's an EU-Hong Kong terrestrial link operated by RETN, it's a relatively low-bandwidth link compared to the aggregate of all Japan-Singapore-Marseille links, so if this a high-bandwidth link it'll be a boon.
Eh, the article does mention that point: "It only looked at the effects of hospital treatment, but to many that is the crown jewel of medicine."

So health insurance may be useful, but health insurance for hospital treatment isn't. I don't think that conclusion is much weaker.
It's exactly as elegant for nulls. Kotlin's T? == Scala 3's T | Null. In both Scala 3 and Kotlin, you can't call a method it.

Kotlin does have the !! operator for practical purposes like Java interop. Equivalent to this Scala 3 code:

extension (t: T)
def !!: T = if(t != null) t else throw NullPointerException()

I haven't checked after release, how is Scala 3 smart-casting now? E.g. Kotlin and Typescript convert a T? to a T inside an if(t != null) branch, and Scala's left much to be desired when I checked.

Scala's and Typescript's union & intersection + smartcasting approach is much more general than Kotlin's T? of course, but Kotlin could introduce that backwards-compatible if they wanted.
I'm lost. Are you talking about meta-level comments, like "here's why this change is being made", that aren't directly tied to any particular line of code? If so, certainly putting that stuff in commits makes sense.

But for regular "explanatory note about this variable/function/etc" comments, how does one work if those things are in commit logs? If you're reading code and something is unclear, do you look back through the commit messages of every commit that's ever touched that line, just in case one of them has something relevant?
So don't contribute to open source because of China/rogue countries? OK then.
Thanks! In your experience, are they reliable with OpenWRT? My experience with commercial routers and access points (consumer grade) is that they need rebooting about every month because they start failing silently (eg. lights still on but wifi cannot be detected by clients).

It is just that I need it so rarely that I fall back into the RPN that I'm used to from Emacs calc. Speedcrunch does not have a RPN mode, does it? That would be splendid.
there is a logical fallacy (not just in the title). It ignores that curiosity will always result in a judgement, and even it's a "positive judgement". If only we stick around long enough we'll need to tear down our original belief (only way to avoid it is not to grow). Being loud (judgemental) makes us look like we have done the leg work (of curiosity). But curiosity is a lot of work and it's easier to get reward by simply looking competent (judging loudly). Exploiting this is easy because it's hard to tell if a stranger has actually put in the legwork and earned their "right" to judgement. And it's also easy to dismiss judgement as "Don't judge just be curious", when in reality, staying curious is impossible once you have a full grasp over a specific topic. (being curious here would mean move on to new things to be curious about).

I'm probably overthinking it. Last weeks I was working on designing an IIoT device (EV charging point) where the customer insists on using the outdated protocol, and not spend the money or time to bother with security. Hardware constraints will rule out there is a future in which this device will be secure (or maintainable). So when I read this:

> By being curious, not judgmental, we can start to understand these peculiar things around us. Only by understanding, we might even find a way to make them better.

It drives me up the wall. Almost impossible for me not to immediately judge and ridicule them, for sloppy thinking, but also for forgetting that a system/idea will only get better by stressing it. And it would be a shame if somebody destroyed their echo chambers, or took a dump in their "safe-space". Perhaps I'd understand the situation a bit better (have empathy) if the people being attacked and ridiculed were unpaid tinkerers or engineers (e.g. FOSS). But a big company like GE? And especially a topic like IoT - I don't think so.

> The logging companies learned the lesson, and it’s time the software industry learned it.

Nitpicking from the main point, but logging companies are still destroying our planet/forests. They haven't learnt a single lesson. The most valuable woods come from very unsustainable exploitations far away (from my perspective, eg. Philippines/Canada), and as for the so-called "sustainable" local exploitations here in France they earn the label by destroying entire ecosystems and replanting between 3-6 species over the entire area after they've chopped everything down.

It's still ecocide on a wide scale.

It doesn't. If you can't provide an adequate user experience free of large input delays, you should have never installed a touchscreen in the first place. Infotainment systems have gotten less bad, but I haven't seen notable advancement in reducing time spent with eyes off of the road the way a physical button or knob does.
The logos are funny, but where do people put those stickers?
Yep. I make a commit on every little change and every team I've been on makes me squash them on merge.

Comments in Git commits are bad. Just comment the code and make sure the comments are updated while you're in the code. You can also look at them in a code review. The argument that they get outdated is easily remedied, but people just want to keep claiming they write 'self documented code.'

That doesn’t answer the question though. I doubt many developers would be in favour of using tables for layout over divs. however the same doesn’t apply for why one must use divs for tables (ie actual tabulated data) instead of tables.
