This isn't true.

It's not an unusual cause of explosive eruptions, but Mt. St. Helens is ~50 miles from the ocean. Magma can build up pressure entirely independently of seawater-induced steam explosions.
It seems pretty crazy to write web-facing apps in C, with no memory safety at all.

(They do have "pledge" but even in the most restricted case, this still leaves full access to database)
Most of the timelapse imagery I saw had about a 10 minute gap between the images. So from the first image with noticeable detail from the previous wasn't a great amount of time. You could maybe compare old realtime film footage of nuclear tests to see how the cloud expands. It seems like the volcano continued spewing after the explosion to allow for the debris cloud to continue to expand to the size seen when compared to nuclear explosion
When you use a cursor, the user has to pass a cursor back to the application to see the next page.

So on the first page load, the server will send the records and a cursor that contains the info {'lastId': 32} and when the user requests page two, they'll have to send the cursor {'lastId': 32} so the server knows where to start.

In practice, the cursors are usually encoded and appended to the URLs.

You can never calculate what page 2 should be, you have to know what the last item on page 1 was, because that dictates where to start on page 2.
Why not bookmark* it?

* where, "bookmark" may mean a variety of things that saves a URL so that it can easily be recalled.
Why? This is a serious question. Seven years is the correct time period for musical instrument depreciation. And if I recall, any property than can be depreciated must be, and if not will be treated as if it had on sale.

Besides, if it’s ever sold there is recaptured depreciation which counts as income.
Help me understand what you need beyond what you'd get from the top 10 Google hits. Because I see 4 or 5 sources there that seem good to me.
Nice summation of a much deeper subject than can be properly documented in such a short article.

I noticed right away that the J.H. Bunnell & Co. image of "THE MORSE TELEGRAPH ALPHABET" is markedly different from standard Morse code. The article does not mention anything about the evolution of Morse code itself.
I'd say unless what you are doing is quite close to what thousands others do, there's a bunch of stuff in the framework thought for other projects, not yours...
You are trolling at this point. I know we are to assume good faith, but the way you’re writing your replies. Repeating this Phil stuff. Combining two completely different things…
After reading all the replies, I still have no idea what that part means.
In my experience, depending on multiple external ecosystems isn't all that much of a problem (as long as they don't get orphaned) in terms of development and maintenance, but it can hinder internal code sharing and skill transfer. In particular, junior devs will take extra time getting up to speed on each internal app because it is in yet another unfamiliar language. But maybe you don't onboard junior devs all that often.

Anyway, while different languages each have their own tradeoffs and benefits, doing a sanity check on whether the putative benefits actually apply to your use might be advisable. IOW, do you really care that language X has a faster startup time when the app written in it is a long-lived server process, so startup time isn't the bottleneck?
An excellent article. Really, read it - I won't TL;DR it.

But I will highlight one line:

> But the simple fact is that Ukraine's present western orientation is a result of the last Russian invasion.

Russia keeps driving countries on its periphery into NATO. It's not just NATO's fault.
I’ve not had a chance to test it in summer yet but it’s still cold to the touch even in the evening sun so I guess that’s a good sign?

I went with Low E specifically because I’d rather be cold than hot and wanted to block out the scorch from the evening sun.
I wonder what 5G is doing to our brains.
> unless something is done to sequester enough of the wood

I think that was the idea. He's viewing it as a mass transfer problem. You "harvest" CO2 with trees, then put it back in the ground.

I think the hard part is not hurting ecosystems in the process, but at this point honestly this might still be the best solution we have available.
>A cheap, ZFS, consumer friendly, Dual 2.5" HDD DAS would have been great. Unfortunately no one is making one. May be there is no market, May be they just dont care.

IIRC ZFS is more trouble than it's worth on tiny systems due to the RAM requirements... generally speaking if you care enough to want ZFS specifically you'll get a slightly larger QNAP / similar NAS (I think the smallest ZFS capable qnaps are 4-bay), or just DIY the hardware and install FreeNAS (or similar) on top.

It might work its way down to the consumer segment eventually but given cloud is pushed heavily (and often you get a decent chunk of storage for free with M365 / google / whatever), needs no end-user know-how, and provides a touch of geographic separation in case of a house fire or other minor disaster it's hard to see tiny ZFS boxes competing vs. cheap cloud storage.
It was a pretty damn big explosion nonetheless. The US strategic warheads max out at around 1.3 megatons these days. It's hard to imagine a blast 9 times stronger than what even the US military deems excessive in an Armageddon scenario.
They are operational and very compatible with GPS.

Modern devices have them all, the iPhone 13 for examples combines satellite data from GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS & Galileo.

In practice, you get a "super-GPS", with way more satellites (120 vs GPS' 35) and great coverage. Potential accuracy can be in the cm's, it is all about software optimization.

There are certain streets in downtown SF where Android (and iOS) location always suddenly jumps to a block away. Navigation apps then direct drivers to make incorrect turns or even dangerous turns like turning the wrong way onto a one-way street.

How can I refactor a monolithic codebase when every change breaks everything?
Science starts with people being puzzled. This doesn't make sense, it doesn't fit with how I understand the world, what's going on here? Then it's a process of making hypotheses, figuring out how to test them, conducting the study, publishing it, and having the community critique your work. Over time a consensus emerges.

The Tonga volcano erupted, what, four days ago? Scientists are looking at new data here. They're puzzled and just starting the process.

Scientists have been looking at climate change for a long time now. Decades. Enough time for a consensus to emerge. Not enough to "know everything", but enough time to say yes, we know what causes it and what we need to do to deal with it.
The high-value hydrocarbons combust to produce CO2 and energy. So at least as much energy is needed to turn that CO2 back into useful hydrocarbons. Where is that energy going to come from? I believe so far digging these hydrocarbons from the earth is still cheaper than using any energy source to turn CO2 back into useful hydrocarbons.
Microsoft is buying stuff. Game Pass isn’t buying stuff. Microsoft makes plenty of money. Notice how any one can decide where to draw the line of what is what.

Why do you keep bringing Phil up. A loss leader isn’t the same thing as a growing SaaS. You are putting words in his mouth while repeating Phil said this, said that.
Yeah, so many stores have added the third party marketplace functionality and it's always sketchy. Like when you end up having to work with some random business that exists out of someones house to fix an issue with computers you bought on Newegg. It's usually at best a single line noting that you're buying from someone other than the site you're on.
> The only thing that's been annoying is that jQuery ignores the difference between querySelector and querySelectorAll, and just treats any operation done on a jQuery selection as if it were mapping a function to each item in a list. Which makes it super easy to write, but makes it much more difficult to know what's actually happening

Does it though? Even years after moving on from jQuery it’s always very clear when reading old code that all selectors will be matched. There’s less cognitive load knowing you’re querying all matching items by default than mentally parsing the difference between querySelector and querySelectorAll, and also having to spread the result because NodeList doesn’t support array functions.
Hi Jacob, I would like to try rewriting your query using different JOIN FOREIGN [1] syntax alternatives, to study how readability is affected.

It would help if you could share the table definitions and foreign keys for the tables involved in the query. I could probably deduce most of it from the query thanks to proper naming of tables/columns, but just want to be sure I get it right. Many thanks!

This motivated me to learn a little bit about nginx architecture. This article is nice: https://www.nginx.com/blog/inside-nginx-how-we-designed-for-...

Why are the nginx workers implemented as processes sharing memory, rather than threads? Is that so they can have different privileges in the Linux permissions/ownership model?

Is it easy to create multiple processes sharing memory in Linux? How do I go about doing that?
Anyone know where I can pick up some "monkey puzzle tree nuts" in the United States?
I think we can already see what the future market will look like. Gamepass exists right now as a subscription service at $US10 per month and cheaper in many regions. And games to own cost anywhere between 2 months to 1 year of subscription. It does not make economic sense to stop pay-to-own, given almost all owners will keep the subscription in addition or will want to pay-to-own additional games in the future. The reason subscription services like Gamepass are taking off is it makes so much economic sense to many consumers. It even makes sense for infrequent gamers, as they no longer need to purchase dedicated hardware with the streaming services. If paying to own stops being a thing, I think it will be because the market is so small it isn't worth running the store fronts any more.
Fair enough, maybe that's why it seems simple? You do enough of them it starts seeming easy? To me it seemed like there was a lot of moving parts throughout the process.
Not just general population, but actual employees!

We've already seen this with legacy code. Whereas a manual process featured someone you could have a conversation with, how many 10+ year old apps are there that have some quirk that nobody remembers or understands?

Automation is going to make that worse, because it goes from "that process 3 people know about" to "that process no one has thought about in 5 years."

Depends, but unless you are directly contracting with UP (i.e. paying for an entire container on a carriage) you should file a claim with the shipper, the company that sent it. If they won't or can't help you, then talk to the intermediate shipping service, likely FexEx/UPS.

With shipping stuff, the general rule of thumb is to start with the org closest to the customer, and then move up. Example: my sister had a new Dell latitude porch-pirated off her front steps. We first contacted Dell, and they sent her a new one. If they hadn't accepted it, we would have talked to FedEx next.

Worst-case, you file a small-claims suit.

The whole insurance process is then propagated up the organization stack behind the scenes. In the case of rail theft, its likely you may never know about it, you will just see a shipping delay for an indeterminate reason and be mildly annoyed. Think of how in code, you call methods from a class that may pass your call to a superclass, which passes the code to a super-superclass, etc.

In aggregate, this will end up making insurance rates go up, which will ultimately get passed to the consumer as price increases (or shipping increases, but its more and more common for shipping to be "free" and instead hidden in the base item retail price), as others have mentioned. Not the greatest, but it is the reality of things.
Yeah, like fish said it’s not airtight yet so probably not that big of a deal.
I think it's usually true. But that's what makes it so useful to people casting around for something to cover for reasons that might be less savory or less pleasant. And that resulting contrast means we really notice it in high-profile cases as an excuse, making it almost a cliche.

A sort of poetic statement that has some kernels of truth but is incredibly reductive to the point of being untrue save for a handful of municipalities where former slave patrollers actually headed municipal police. The overwhelming majority of police forces have little, if any, connection to slave patrols.

I think it's the case with everything. I've seen piano players on YouTube just pick up a ukelele in a few hours. I managed to pick up and even interview with Swift with little effort but I've never used it in a real capacity.

JS and C were different though. Someone good in C would have trouble with JS compared to someone who has no experience in either. But learn both, and you'll be good.
Yes, for this reason crypto algorithms usually avoid using any conditional branches at all. Then you have to worry about whether any of your assembly operations have data-dependent timing.

No need to bring up points like this when the effect on the overall system is small. It’s a great way to continue to demonize poorer people and let the 1% or .1% off the hook.

NordicTrack treadmills are quite expensive actually. Full incline model are $3000 and $4000, and there is no competition for them.

So, it's not GOAL, but I've been starting to work with https://fennel-lang.org and Love2d, and there's a twice-yearly Lisp Game jam that happens.

I've found that I like Fennel (and Janet as well, both created by the same author, though they have different maintainers) quite a bit. Turns out that having simple semantics and a very regular syntax makes for a language that makes writing basic code feel nice.
It is the same crime. Motivation does not count to guilt.

I'd be fine with this, even totally on-board, if C weren't so awful with respect to text. You don't even have to worry too much about free()ing your malloc()s if you design around short-lived processes. But this is just asking for security concerns among the tangled web of string and input processing your bespoke C routines are likely to develop into.

Pair it with a better, more modern, and safer native-compiled language and get the same effect. Zig, Nim, Go, hell even Carp.
Yep, this is very similar to my take as well.

Also, now that I think of it, although we often talk about how much more data-efficient humans are compared to ML models, we could say that we're actually much more data-inefficient than most (or all) other animals. Our gestation period is long and then we're totally useless as a baby. We require a lot of learning and development early on in order to reap the benefits later (which consist of generality and flexibility like you mentioned and also, for example, being able to generate our own synthetic data via imagination and counterfactual reasoning).
He's not talking about perpetual motion. The input energy into this hypothetical spherical-cow process is concentrated reflected insolation. Unfortunately, getting the Ga2O back to being liquid Ga is probably the problem.

I bought a proform pro 2000 treadmill at costco.

On the box, it mentioned "one-year iFit membership included (then says wifi and registration required for ifit)"

I didn't want to use iFit, I just wanted to use the treadmill.

However -

You can't use the treadmill without connecting it to wifi, except for "manual mode". ZERO workouts. This involves dark patterns for setting up your treadmill and avoiding a wifi connection. then you can select manual mode - which can ONLY set the speed or incline manually.

Oh yeah, this treadmill has an embedded camera and microphone.

The description is a dark pattern, the UI is a dark pattern. pro-form has a horrible reputation from my direct experience.

so I use it in manual mode. I don't use the 10.1" touchscreen except to start it moving.

I suggest folks who want a treadmill just go to somewhere like Dick's and look at the treadmills and buy one after checking out the UI in person.

That outcome isn't necessarily bad. It's somewhat arrogant of us to assume that we understand enough about a system as complex as the Earth's biosphere and atmosphere to know for sure a larger percentage of CO2 will necessarily be bad long term. It's feasible that it could be better, even if only after a painful transition.

I for one find the future where we're not actively managing the Earth's climate in some way to be the more pessimistic outcome. It indicates that civilization has failed to continue advancing, probably isn't spacefaring, and that the light of consciousness will eventually twinkle out once the Earth becomes uninhabitable in about 500 million years.

We'll see.
FWIW Debian can run on the pinebookpro, which uses a similar soc as the pinephonepro (rk3399 vs. rk3399s). There are a few kernel changes needed, but they might be mainlined by the next LTS.

So I would say maybe in a year or so Debian testing could run on it.

Definitely don't think that's true. Yes, Edward Teller did propose a design for a 10 gigaton device but the initial devices based on that design ended up being a dud, not working as intended and the project was abandoned in favor of more practical nuclear weapons. Maybe in theory such a device would be possible, but even at 10 gigatons it wouldn't come remotely close to cracking much of anything.

The largest confirmed explosion on earth was on the order of 1 teraton (1,000,000 megatons) caused by the Vredefort asteroid impact and that certainly left a crater but did not come close to cracking the planet forever. It left a crater 40km deep and 300km wide, which is absolutely enormous and mind boggling and if it happened today would certainly cause a mass extinction event, but the Earth would recover.
Hah I so strongly disagree with your Phil Xbox take. But am nodding along agreeing with a lot of your recent comments. This one especially.

It is absolutely a disgrace. Not even specifically to create software. Not allowing root, the ways of the app stores, the entire UX. It all focuses on consumption and weak workflow. A 13 inch iPad could very easily be a dedicated developer device (and some do get by this way), but it’s such a pain.
Imagine that kind of explosion next to an island like that if Taiwan. Remember water was used when above ground tests were banned.

Again, questioning the motivation of someone who raises a point you don't have an answer for is no better than trying to change the subject when you feel like you can't win on the merits.

If you think it's a good use of the money, then defend it.

But changing the subject and questioning people's motivations, or insisting that all larger forms of abuse in the military be talked about before anyone can call into question our aid to Israel - that's not a legitimate argument.
