> Chapel, HPC language mostly sponsored by Intel and HPC

Minor correction: Intel hasn't traditionally been a sponsor of Chapel (though we'd love to see that change). Chapel was pioneered at Cray Inc. and continues on even stronger at HPE after its acquisition of Cray.

Bartosz is a one of a kind explainer of things - no matter what topic he touches, he always manages to outright nail the communication of the core concepts in a manner almost anyone can understand.

Let alone the interactive visualizations.

There should be some sort of Nobel Prize for people that contribute to humanity’s education - and methods therof.

This is very nice. Very clear, and the 3D interactives are excellent at guiding the explanation.

One thing that I thought was a little confusing was right at the beginning, when we were estimating the position of the figurine and there was an area of uncertainty shown by the yellow circle.

It isn't clear how you're estimating position, and why we have an area of uncertainty. At first I figured it was going to explain it using triangulation (measurement of angles) but there's no reason triangulation wouldn't be exactly as accurate as the tape measure method on a 2D surface, so wouldn't explain the area of uncertainty.

The description merely says:

> Just by using these three reference points we can relate the figurine’s position in the environment to an approximate placement on the map as show with the yellow shape on the right.

I worry that having this ambiguity so early on might put some people off from reading the rest, because they figure they don't understand that and so won't understand the rest of it.
Geometric quality is easy to consider in terms of using trig and measured angles to solve for an (roughly) equilateral triangle vs a triangle with a very small measured internal angle.

Also, it's easier to understand variables vs uknowns of GPS if you consider that direct measurement is of velocity and/or acceleration, and position is the resultant derivative, after taking into account the probabilities of various solutions.

(Velocity and acceleration can be measured directly without making as many assumptions about various starting conditions.)
We were 1.5 billion in 1900. We are 8+ billion now.

This has been a disaster for the climate and environment.

Less people requires a paradigm shift and it is a challenge, not least for businesses that always look for growth through more and more customers. On the other hand, this is a tremendous opportunity to focus on per capita metrics and quality of life in a way that is sustainable.

Can it actually be demonstrated in a lab that gravity non-planar? One interesting explanation I've seen by the flat earthers is that gravity does not exist, instead the flat earth is simply under constant acceleration at 9.8m/s^2.

For OLAP-style use-cases, I wouldn't recommend SQLite, but rather something equally (apparently) unfashionable: stored procedures.

In both cases, the goal is to save the time spent round-tripping queries and responses to the DB. But with OLAP, you more-than-likely have a large dataset that needs its own dedicated beefy DB to process. So rather than moving the data to the code (with e.g. SQLite), move the code to the data, by moving as much of your business layer as possible into the DB. (Or possibly all of it, ala https://postgrest.org/.)
I think the argument would be that a browser add-on, such as an ad-blocker, is essentially redistributing the work because it is modifying the HTML of another author and then displaying it to the browser user. Of course it is really the browser user who is doing the modifying - the extension is just their tool - I'm not sure if that is the basis of the ruling.

NASA are concerned, as are MIT. And the Europeans Space Agency. Satellites only have so much fuel. Radar can only track so much. Tiny pieces of debris can cause a chain reaction.

So, unless you have a better analogy than fucking cars, consider me unconvinced.

> It’s hard not to feel a batsqueak of pity for Ghislaine Maxwell — 500 days and counting in solitary confinement. I intersected briefly with her at Oxford. As a fresher I wandered into Balliol JCR one day in search of its subsidised breakfast granola-and-Nescafé offering and found a shiny glamazon with naughty eyes holding court astride a table, a high-heeled boot resting on my brother Boris’s thigh. She gave me a pitying glance but I did manage to snag an invite to her party in Headington Hill Hall — even though I wasn't in the same college as her and Boris. I have a memory of her father, Bob, coming out in a towelling robe and telling us all to go home. I’m sure fairweather friends would not reveal they went to a Ghislaine Maxwell party: as Barbara Amiel’s brilliant memoir Friends and Enemies proves, you only know who your real chums are when you’re in the gutter.
Why does a right to repair require open-source to be the only legal option?

It seems that I could have a highly proprietary device and still be able to repair it. It would just require availability of 1) documentation
2) diagnostics, 3) parts at market prices, 4) parts not locked by DRM code.

E.g., the iPhone could still have all their proprietary code, as long as I can read about the components and their relationships, diagnose a problem, replace a component and/or flash new data/code onto the device.

Same for a car or tractor. Meaningful repair doesn't require that we be able to dismantle and re-solder sub-board-level components, only identify the particular component, obtain it at a reasonable availability and cost, and replace it, or be able to substitute an upgraded part.

Am I missing something here?

> In the same way that an angle of pi radians corresponds to pi length around the perimeter of a unit circle, but if you're measuring on the perimeter of a larger circle you'll have a correspondingly larger length.

I understand this. It's not what I'm talking about.

There was a claim upthread that the corner of a square and the corner of a cube are equally sharp because (1) one of them is π/2 radians; (2) the other is π/2 steradians; and (3) π/2 is equal to π/2, hence equally sharp.

I'm saying I don't think this can be right, because when we consider two angles that we know are equally sharp, the 2D flat line and the 3D flat plane, one of them is π and the other is 2π, so unit-free radian measurements cannot be a valid measure of sharpness. The radian measurement needs to be normed against the full sphere in an equal number of dimensions, so that the flat line equals 1/2 (of a circle) and the flat plane equals 1/2 (of a sphere). I want to conclude that these two angles are equally sharp because 1/2 is equal to 1/2. But even if I can't do that, I need to avoid concluding that a flat line is twice as sharp as a flat plane, because I know that's untrue.

But my reasoning would tell us that the corner of a cube is twice as sharp as the corner of a square, 1/8 to 1/4.

What? How do you think the military works, via smoke signals? They need computer, a LOT of computers to operate day to day. And that PCs for just boring clerk work. Not to mention the idea that old chips would somehow be good enough to keep up technologically, both military and economically.

Oh yeah? They will just a walk a engineer corps to a fab and have them press big red manufacture button few million times to make enough chips right? Can't be more difficult than that...

That's...not quite right.

You are free to modify a legally owned physical copy of a copyrighted work (and to redistribute that modified copy), but you are not free to make a derivative work by copying-with-modifications, except (in the US) insofar as that falls within the bounds of fair use (and where it does, you can also distribute it.)

How do you classify a non-citizen Green Card holder? Or someone here on a work visa? Legal immigrants usually don't start out as citizens from the moment they arrive. Obtaining citizenship is a long process. In the meantime they are still residents, and taxpayers, and ought to have a say in decisions which will affect them.

Perhaps consider that this isn't about just you?

It's bad for society to let scam artists operate unfettered. It doesn't just harm the scammed. For one, you've given terrible people more money to run bigger scams. Two, it misdirects resources to negative-sum activity. Third and most broadly, it reduces trust in anything that looks vaguely similar, which increases transactional friction and reduces available investment capital, making society poorer as a whole.

And that's before we even get to your illusion that you are safe from being scammed because only stupid people get suckered and you're one of the smart ones. There are scams for everybody. The whole "crypto" space is proof of that.
Sony's also been historically resistant to letting their exclusives reach PC. That's slowly changing (God of War just hit PC in the past few days and Horizon's been out for a while), but I don't think this really did them any favors. Sure, they need to sell hardware, but there's a long tail on PC sales that can outlive generations of consoles. Microsoft, meanwhile, probably more than any other tech giant today, is the master of the long tail.
Sure, until your house burns down.

It gets taxed the same as a single mom who works at Kroger during the pandemic.

If you want to lower the taxes on single moms, increase child credits and raise the 0% tax rate bracket to cover higher incomes. Simple. If there are tax reporting issues that make it hard for side-hustle self proprietors to claim real expenses, which could be the case, let us fix it.

But not reporting this income just because it was on a payment processor is just helping people cheating their taxes regardless of income level. That's not okay just because some of them are single moms.
Got to say I sympathize with those that don't. All of mine including legacy stuff support LinuxVST (2.4) but it doesn't look like the KVR marketplace has me listed. Maybe they don't count free/OSS stuff?

There are whole little communities that do, but you have to dig for 'em. I recently joined Unfa's patreon (reviewer and popularizer of OSS and Linux music-making gear) and joined his discord server. Only to discover they had an emote of my face, due to my OSS plugin making and because they liked my catchphrase 'I'm Chris from Airwindows and hey… you can do this!'

And so you can. The stuff is out there, and if you look around it's absurd what you can do. My favorite discoveries lately are Bespoke, and the Surge Synth ecosystem (hugely impressive and helpful to other OSS projects of all types)

But you'll find it's a bit of a media freeze-out as far as people TELLING you any of this is happening. I can attest that if you do compile your stuff for Linux, you'll hear almost nothing about it, including from the folks you are supporting. I've got a Mediafire mirror for my stuff that tracks downloads across all my updates. Signed MacOSX bundle supporting M1 machines, 3023 downloads. LinuxVST, 325 downloads.

You do Linux support because you care about it as a concept, not because you're going to get any benefit from it. It doesn't pay, it costs (in dev time that won't be compensated, any more than if you were developing one of the little libraries upon which all the Internet depends). You have to have other work lined up to support you while you do the added Linux support.

I'm the author of HashBackup. I'd advise against using Amazon Glacier for pretty much anything, because retrieval requires a lot of mental, financial, and procedural gymnastics (4-hour delays, spacing our retrievals to keep costs down, etc). I implemented it for HashBackup when it was first announced, it was a nightmare, and I deprecated it a year or two later because alternatives like Backblaze B2 are nearly as cheap and have none of the retrieval headaches.

When talking percentages, sure, Glacier is $4/TB and B2 is $5/TB, so Glacier is 20% cheaper. But if you have to actually retrieve your data, it will likely cost more than any savings you've accrued. If you take a look at the S3 pricing page and your head isn't swimming afterwards, you probably don't understand the complexity of it. For example, they have data "retrieval" fees that are sometimes per request, sometimes per GB, and sometimes free (they promote that of course). But there's still that pesky 9 cents/GB data transfer fee that's on top of the per-GB retrieval fee, putting you at 10 cents/GB to retrieve data. Glacier also needs special tools: S3 tools can't access data stored in Glacier.

If you really want to stick with Amazon, I'd suggest S3 One-Zone Infrequent Access. It's a little more expensive, but you can use standard S3 tools to get your data back. You'll still have that 9 cents/GB retrieval cost, vs 1 cent/GB for B2.
On agricultural issues: be careful about making assumptions.

I was talking about the labels on fruits (you know, those labels you just peel off so you don't eat them) with someone who knew about this sort of thing . I ignorantly said "that's gotta be a low-margin business."

He said, "Actually, it's a high-margin business."

If you get a monopoly in some market that's very difficult to enter, you've got yourself a steady cash flow. I don't think "repairing tractors out in the middle of nowhere" is a very easy one to get into.

> This one is just weird, but I've seen (and was never able to figure out why):

The LIMIT has me suspicious it has to do with the "correlation" statistic - I know it applies when ORDER BY is involved, but dunno about the IN.

This statistic exists for every column in a table, and measures the correlation between the order of the column's data and the table's order on disk. If the correlation is "bad" and you're getting most/all of the table's data, then the query planner will do a full table scan and sort, to avoid lots of random access on disk. If instead the correlation is "good", it'll do an index scan because it won't have to do much jumping around to different parts of the disk.

CLUSTER can change the table data order on disk to match one of the indexes on the table. It would have to be run regularly though, since there's no way to insert new rows in the middle, and it locks the table for its whole runtime.
Thanks, the cost per wafer does look convincing. I wonder where Wilson's figures emerged.

> How does your issue manifest?

I regularly have emails to my GMail from colleagues end up in the spam folder. Perhaps as many as 5 or 10 per week, enough that I have to trawl through the spam folder every few days to make sure I've not missed something important.

Similarly, reasonably often when people reply to me, often after being prompted with a second email, or even a phone call, people tell me that emails from my "other" ISP to their GMail provided mailboxes have ended up in the spam folder.

It happens in waves ... it can be fine for months, and I start to think it's all good and I can trust it, and then there's a spate of emails going to spam when they really shouldn't. It's simply unreliable.

So for incoming email I do my own filtering. I can do nothing about my outgoing emails ending up in someone else's GMail spam folder except to be aware that it happens, and to keep track of when I'm expecting a reply. With some colleagues I've gone to a "positive acknowledge" system to preempt what have been expensive problems in the past.
The thing is there are counter examples where, in my opinion on moral grounds, a child is entitled to privacy. Some examples on off the top of my head:-

* An LGBT child using LGBT safe spaces online. Being outed before a child has come to terms with their feelings themselves can be horrendous for their mental wellbeing, even in an understanding household. In less LGBT friendly households it could be extremely dangerous.

* An abuser is part of their family and trying to communicate that to teachers, authorities or whoever else.

Of course you are right to be concerned for your child, and age/maturity is really critical in this discussion. A 4 year old clearly shouldn't have unfettered access to the internet. Should a 15 year old who has shown they can be trusted be forced to have their parent view everything they do? I'm not sure.
Combining a small repertoire of git commands and this type of brute-force backup allows people to use git without having to learning all the details of its inner workings (or at least not having to keep that knowledge in everyday short-term memory.)

If a small repertoire of git commands covers 95% of what a person needs git for, and recovering from backup covers the remaining 5%, why spend time and effort "git-ifying" that last 5%?
