Some people tried it and got sued for patent infringement (ASML vs XTAL)[1]. ASML patents all EUV-related technology, so you'd have to come up with a brand new way of generating EUV plasma at high energies at constant rate. Even ASML had to buy an American company Cymer to get a working prototype. Then, because EUV radiation doesn't pass through air or standard lenses, you'd have to come up with another optic column system. If you want to go 5nm and below, you need anamorphic lenses/mirrors with almost atomic precision [2]. ASML gets these columns and lenses/mirrors from Zeiss, but probably has patents on their practical application.

The sheer size of the supply chain you need to create to make a working machine is massive. It's one of the reasons why ASML got ahead of the Japanese companies that tried to do everything in-house.[3][4]

It took 17+ years and €6 billion in R&D to get EUV working [5] (as such EUV litography became feasible in the 90s), so ASML's leading position on the market is justified. They have to recoup all the costs, so they will make sure to keep the market leadership through all legal means.

My guess is that if someone would come up with a more efficient EUV plasma generation or better optic systems, ASML would acquire the company and take over the technology.

Regarding the negotiating power, some companies like GlobalFoundries couldn't afford ASML's EUV machines, so they parked their EUV plans [6]. It's only big players like TSMC, Samsung and Intel that can afford this tech and all these companies know their worth and prices. ASML needs money to pay for the R&D and can't afford to lose it's biggest customers that are also buying their non-bleeding edge technologies (DUV litography).

I don't know the business side of things, but it's definitely going to be interesting to see what happens with competition in the EUV litography in the upcoming 10+ years.

EUV litography and silicon-based chips have their physical limits, so there might be other ways to continue improvements.[7]

Figuratively, literally can mean figuratively, even though literally it means literally.

But joke aside, literally is basically a figure of speech used for emphasis - it seems strange to me to say it means figuratively. If I hear someone say "I was so embarrassed I literally died", to me that transmits emphasis, which is different from both the proper sense of "literally" and the proper sense of "figuratively". If someone said "I was so embarrassed I died", this is still a figurative use, just less emphassised. The addition of "literally" is not there to clarify that they don't mean real death, as it would imply if "literally means figuratively" was what was happening.
I'm very happy about this proposal. The only sad thing is that it has come so late, after so many tools and protocols (e.g. GraphQL) already abuse POSTs for this use case.
It actually seems to mix visual metaphors though, since "Butter and flour a loaf pan" and "Preheat oven" are temporally top-to-bottom, until it gets to the ingredients, when it switches to (depending on how one interprets it) temporally left-to-right or a dependency tree, but without any visual indication that change has happened

I would actually expect the whole process could be laid out in graphviz since all of those are dependencies of the ultimate outcome (heh, "enjoy"). I originally thought it may be a DAG, but I can recall a few recipes that explicitly have a looping step in them

The lasagne recipe page would be one I count as bad. There's a lot of useless text before the recipe. The other two result pages are good.

Interesting enough, the big name recipe sites: Allrecipes, food network, NYTimes, binging with babish etc. all are short and to the point. But for some reason the crappy recipe sites outperform them on Google.

Well... dictionaries are attempting to document actual English usage, so if most people pronounce it differently I would suggest the dictionary is wrong, not the people pronouncing it differently.

And that’s on top of the fact that languages change over time and regional accents and dialects can pronounce words very differently.
Oh shoot. I did not expect this huge a response. Any more load and my backend server is going to collapse.
> The possible creation of extra HTTP resources (response resorces?) seems to me contrary to idempotency.

If two repetitions of a QUERY request create the same extra HTTP resource(s), then it can be idempotent.

Idempotent means you can't tell the difference between 1 or N requests, not that you can't tell the difference between 0 and 1. Think about PUT, which is also idempotent.
For strictly technical communication you make a great point - we probably should try to work with a "standardized" or "international" English. That said, something about your comment struck me as deeply sad: the "funny wordplay" injects some personality and novelty into communication.

The comments on recipe sites are often useful. Things like: pre-heat your mason jars before pouring in the caramelized sugar or they'll crack. You can find clarifications, or things people have substituted, or just how a recipe has failed for some folks.

There's a handful of recipe sites I tend to stick to. Smitten Kitchen, All Recipes, Serious Eats, NYT Cooking. I also have a few favorite cooking books: On Food and Cooking, Joy of Cooking, The Art of Simple Food. Then I have some speciality cooking books for desserts, ice creams, and soups.

My wife transcribes recipes we really like to 4" x 6" index cards. The recipe box is up to probably about 200-300 recipes we've collected over our 25 years together.

I feel like there are two camps of SSG’ers. One camp who chooses an SSG to offset their reliance on big tech, and the other who see big tech reliance as an acceptable means of publishing. Not sure which is right, but my personal inclination is to steer away from this reliance.
I was not taking an issue with the calculation of the 4% chance, but rather with this phrase: "But with millions of people infected, this ratio of S/NS variations would still happen at a pretty high absolute number."

I thought you were implying that since this was a 4% chance happening over millions of infection events, it was a virtual certainty, and thus the 4% factor made this highly probable. To which I counter argued, the 4% chance matters and should be accounted as a factor in a "natural vs lab leak" model, because everything seems to point that "a variant as infectious as Omnicron appears" was a single event.

Thank you for the clarification.

I am not a neuroscientist, but might normal stimuli produce similar responses in the brain to chemical ingestion? If that were the case, we would still have a pathology that needs treatment. Despite what we call things, I am confident the addiction model for treatment would still work in many cases.

If the addiction model works to treat certain phenomena called "addictions" under that paradigm, then I am not optimistic that the meaning will ever change. You have your interests, and medicine has theirs.

Natural language is littered with layman's terms that are inconsistent with reality. Some, like "gender" and "race," have meanings that are so incoherent that any real discussion requires 1,000 words of linguistic stage setting. I think with "addiction" the toothpaste is already out of the tube.

I put "UK" in most English recipe searches where it might matter.

The recipe itself is likely to be a bit less sweet, and my ingredients (purchased in Denmark) are also closer to those sold in Britain than the American versions. Things like types of cream, lack of sugar added to slightly-processed ingredients etc.
I agree. I'll add that I've known plenty of people who have done all the things you listed, and still aren't seen as a local, and are treated as more of a prop. This isn't just true of Americans going to other countries, but of people from other countries coming to America as well.

I'm seeing something similar to this when it comes to Lead generation for sales teams. The market right now is full of tools where you search for companies/prospects that you want to target and you end up with a list that is either outdated or incorrect data.

One of the solutions is to hire people remotely that will build a list from searching and verifying that the information is correct. There are a ton of scaling issues with a person building the lists, and you will still run into errors, but it has been the best way to verify and have the most up-to-date data.

A problem I noticed is people are so use to getting tons of results when they use Google or another database site, so they expect the same with human-powered results. SO I think a lot of expectation setting and also just working with the TAM that understands the impact a curated list will provide over a outdated database. Both have their costs but for a higher impact the human curation will always win over automation. (I have an example of 3 different lead gen sites having a different city for 1 company, the AI on the websites mixed up the location, a Human would be able to catch that)
A running joke in my family is my intentional mispronunciation of "subsequent" as "sub-see-quent" (similar to "sequence").
> Some scholars in those dark days we refer to as the Middle Ages sure did.

According to [1], more precisely the word came into English around 1300. According to [2], Petrarch coined the term "Dark Ages," a term that many historians now reject because the Middle Ages were not dark, around 1330. Whether the claim by this article about how "b" made its way into debt is true, I don't know. But the claim that the "b" was added in "the dark days" obfuscates that it happened around 30 years before the birth of the idea of the Middle Ages as a dark time, and after the Renaissance started in some parts of Europe [3].

There's no substantial evidence that Ivermectin effectively treats COVID-19 in humans, or that it should be taken as an alternative to being vaccinated.

A worm is a parasite (which Ivermectin effectively treats). A parasite (in this sense) is not a virus. Ivermectin does not treat the COVID-19 virus. The GP was glib and insulting but not entirely off base.

All true.

But there's a little bit of a difference between mm/MM being minutes/months, where at least as someone thinking about datetime formatting you likely have a concept that the concepts of minutes and months are plausible things 'm' might stand for, vs. yyyy/YYYY where unless you've come across it before, the idea that there might be an inbuilt concept of a 'week year' is likely not going to be something that occurs to you.

I suppose the fact that both 'yyyy/mm/dd' and 'YYYY/MM/DD' produce values that are obviously wrong most of the time should be enough of an incentive for developers to go and look. up the codes. But that said, 'YYYY/MM/DD' produces what looks like the right answer for most of January...
> idempotent with regards to the resource identified by the request URI

That means that a QUERY request can change the state of the server, for example by creating new resources; there's exactly one resource it's not allowed to change.

Well there is 'link rot' which is largely solved by Archive.org's Wayback Machine.

My only issues with Wayback are:

1.) Some Javascript-heavy sites fail to work because some assets/files were abstracted away with Javascript and were lost and oblivious to Wayback as it mirrored the page. Also: third party assets would be ignored which the JS site relied upon to function. So we get massive amounts of broken mirrored pages.

2.) Whilst Wayback honors robots.txt and won't mirror sites that deny/block their mirroring bot, it would be nice to have a service that ignores the robots.txt since we would have a clearer picture of the web at any given time. I don't believe robots.txt should dictate what content should/shouldn't be copied. Probably because of my data hoarding tendencies.

So if someone could create a service that accurately mirrors pages without a bunch of broken assets, and also ignores robots.txt that would be great!

I'd say anyone who buys into the wave of fearmongering against vaccines is antivax, even if they've had previous vaccinations. Two twins in their 70s choosing not to get vaccinated would fall into this camp.

Conversely, if there's someone for whom medical consensus agrees is legitimately better off without vaccines (e.g: due to some immune system condition), then I wouldn't call them antivax.

I'm sure those use cases do exist. I know that there are already special secured handsets made by defense contractors like that for use by top officials, generally in partnership with other companies. I believe Halliburton supplied specially modified Blackberries for years to the White House and Department of State, and the last I heard was that a different org was modifying Samsung handsets for similar purposes. Given that shift to Android, it would not surprise me if there was a market here for government officials working on confidential work to need secured handsets running Android where their government could lock the device to only a whitelisted set of apps. The US government for instance already has published STIGs for Android handsets.

The reality is that for me, at least, government use cases don't interest me for a number of reasons, and I don't necessarily think they align with your clarification to the questions either. I think drawing the parallel to firearms is fuzzy, but if we go with that, there are obvious use cases a government has for firearms that don't support an argument in favor of civilian ownership, but there /are/ arguments that support civilian ownership. Perhaps nothing else makes me more anxious than that thought of a world where privacy and crypto are considered to be something only allowed for elites and government officials, where all of us normies have to be surveilled 24/7. This is already a reality in some parts of the world and fast becoming a reality in the West. Hence, I am not really concerned with how useful this may be to government, I am /only/ concerned with how useful this is to normal every-day people who just don't want to be spied on. Most of the modern surveillance isn't even done for a reason, it's just dragnet surveillance on everyone "because they can", which is the worst type.
If that doesn't work, you can always whip out the "Bless your heart".
The correct way to pronounce something is always the way people do it. Language is defined by its speakers, not some committee or your preference.
I think that, when talking about idempotency, there's the implicit assumption that the "rest of the world" stays the same while the sequence of operations is performed.

Perhaps changes in the underlying data could be considered "expiration issues". Otherwise not even GET could be considered idempotent in many cases.

Often a game engine will have LOD biasing and filtering settings exposed to the artist at the model and/or material level. It's only engineering time if those settings are not implemented.

I would expect/hope that the designer asked both the artist and engineer if the sign could be fixed (and at what cost) before spending the time to re-design an alternative. Designers will often spend huge amounts of time doing tasks that could be greatly simplified if they only asked the relevant engineer (and vice-versa).
I'm interested in that alternative too. Does a whitelist like that exist?

EY = Earnst & Young?

You bring up good points (although I think I disagree with your conclusion that people ‘deserve’ to be defrauded). There seems to be active collusion at times between oversight and the companies being audited. This isn’t the first time EY has been accused of this and we see it with credit ratings agencies too.

I think I come to a different conclusion because we all outsource our quality assurance on a daily basis. Did you review the airworthiness certificate of the last plane you flew on? If not, do you “deserve” to crash because you outsourced to the FAA without verifying it yourself?

I’d say the blame should fall to the third party auditors who failed the system, not necessarily to those who trusted them.
