This site also claims that Roman's minted coin in the territory now known as England.

http://www.kenelks.co.uk/coins/roman/roman.htm

I think the significance of this coin to English people is that Henry III is king when the Magna Carta is negotiated and the royal domain across the channel is severed. This places the coin in a context of when what was to become modern England became identifiable.

For context, Patrick McHardy was a Linux contributor who tried to quietly file lawsuits against companies committing GPL violations with the Linux kernel. He would then try to keep the proceeds from the lawsuit to himself.

> A Lamborghini may be fun to drive for the first days or weeks, but pretty soon it fades into the background of your life.

That depends on whether you bought it for yourself or to show off. A lot of people buy/wear/own expensive tools to show off, as a status symbol. Especially those who can afford a Lamborghini are seen as such (whether appropriate or not I don't know). At the same time, many people who cannot afford a Lamborghini would love to drive around in one which feeds into the status symbol loop ('you want this'). Good news! They can do that, virtually, with a fraction of the cost. They buy the experience, not the thing. I am not sure what the point of this entire write-up is, I just found it a terrible example. Because almost everyone who owns one car, owns it primarily as a tool, not an experience. Yes, it provides an experience, but its mostly a tool. A tool has a lowest common denominator. It has to work reasonably well, well enough, for its purpose. If you're rich, you may have higher standards and might get annoyed about your Tesla's entertainment system instead of the conventional car of a poor person leaking oil.

As for kayak, I can resonate with your example. I went to Venice as child, with my father (who has since passed away). My father was in a wheelchair back then, he had MS and could barely walk. Every bridge, we needed help to get him across. People helped. We didn't see the cathedral (too much effort), but we did end up in a gondola. Though it took effort to get him in, and it was 'on our own risk', this was very special for us as a family, including me. Before my father became ill (he was a photography nerd among other things) he made a picture of a man with a gondola in the 70s and won a national competition with it which hung in our house. And now I, his son, was able to experience the same with him. I have no idea how much my mom paid in Italian Lira for the experience, but I know for sure I wouldn't have wanted to buy the boat or the man. Because the experience is a memory which only old age can take away from me, no amount of money can describe it. Remember how I mentioned people helped? They'll never know it, but I am grateful.
I'm not sure any changes are necessary. The implementations will use AVX-512 where it's available, and they'll fall back to something else (often AVX-2) if it's not.
The problem is that, due to exponential growth, the majority of bitcoin holders entered in the last year. So, in a very meaningful way, the chart is always effectively only a year old in the collective's mind.
> This is how you save money with the cloud. But you definitely don't save money when you effectively rent a truck to drive to work everyday

Isn't that exactly how companies use the cloud? Sure, there are contrived examples where the cloud is cheaper than self hosting. But the common case is that companies "use the cloud" by putting 100% of their infrastructure and hosted products in the cloud. That's what is meant when you say "X uses the cloud".

Yes this original submission of this story was flagged by someone for unknown reasons.
If inflation makes the USD worthless, there will be significant social instability and most likely chaos at the GLOBAL level. This is why we can all be part of the cult of USD.

If Bitcoin falls to 0$ tomorrow, the vast majority of people would shrug and move on with their lives.
They regularly dump batches of perfume into the air - you can smell it for miles. It probably confuses pollinators and other wildlife because the smells are so intense.
The bug has been fixed now! Big mistake making the click handler use event.target without checking if you've hit the svg element instead.
Whether the input is encoded as binary or decimal doesn't change whether the time complexity is in PSPACE, NP or P. You need some finite alphabet, and then encode the input as a string in this alphabet. The time complexity of an algorithm for SSS is measured by how long it takes (in the worst case) as a function of the length of the input string. As long as you use a positional notation like binary or decimal to encode the integers, the big O of the time complexity will remain the same, and so the exact positional notation doesn't actually matter. The size of the alphabet doesn't matter either. If on the other hand you encode the integers using unary notation, then this can land the problem in P.
Sure, but will they do that? It's easier to just charge people. :P

AFAIK Heroku shuts down your stuff if your Dynos are overspending :P
For me, the winners have been 1) a short flexibility/strength routine I try to do every morning
2) a treadmill in front of some sort of screen - these days it’s Zwift
3) dumbells and Peloton strength training classes

The first is for maintenance and recovery when I need it.

The treadmill is for when I just can’t bring myself to run or ride outdoors (too cold, too dark, so many excuses). An elliptical, bike or rower would work too.

The Peloton instructors and range of classes brought me from almost zero strength training to a regular practice.

But try different things and find what sticks. I also tried a mostly body weight routine called Iron Strength that’s good but hasn’t stuck. I see others in the comments as well.
It seems to me that as we reach such levels of advancement that time will gradually start to lose meaning. Even if we continue to die on about a 100 year interval, the fact that during such interval one could experience millions of years of history will again really blur any meaning.

It leads to lots of really interesting and fun sci-fi that somehow hasn't really been dug into sufficiently yet along the same lines as the Twin Paradox [1]. We send out a colonization ship traveling at some relatively fixed acceleration rate that (from the perspective of those on the ship) will arrive at their uninhabited destination millions of light years away in about 40 years.

Then thousands of years later (from the perspective of those on the planet) we make a breakthrough enabling us to develop ships with several times the acceleration, and send another ship to the same destination. The first ship we sent out may arrive only to discover that the planet is at a late stage of development having been colonized by the second ship of humans tens of thousands of years ago.

I mean imagine landing and the humans on a planet are no longer even "human" in the sense that you knew - technological and biological evolution alike leaving you as a relic from the past. Though even for those who do not travel. Imagine yourself being one of the people on said planet. From your perspective, such relics of ancient past arriving and departing, would also be a regular occurrence.

The entire idea of time starts to get really strange. Also the above is not entirely just theoretical. For instance the exact same phenomena that bends time every which way, also causes particles in particle accelerators, traveling at relativistic rates relative to their observers, to decay much slower than they would otherwise - which is pretty neat and handy!

In my view, 'experiences' (time) are alway related to 'things' (assets) :

- The experience of sleep requires a bed

- The experience of cooking requires groceries and kitchen tools

- The experience of being an elite requires a fancy diploma

And if the experience does not requires an asset, it is usually because you are borrowing (lending) the asset of another party

- The experience of consulting a psyghologist requires him to have a diploma

- The experience of traveling requires the airline business to maintain a fleet

- The experience of creating a startup to change the world requires borrowed equity at a given rate

I plan to discuss this stuff in my upcoming newsletter about personal finance. People who are all about 'buying experiences not things' are usually priviledged hot heads whose social and professional situation allow them pay high borrowing fees in order to not deal with the logistic of managing their own assets.
USD is an actual currency, and if everybody HODLs it we wind up in a recession (or worse). This comparison is wildly invalid.
That entire README and not a single line of Malloy to look at? And no comparison to existing SQL? I'd love to give this a try but the wall of text could be/should be replaced with some simple side by side examples and brief descriptions of why Malloy is "better" than SQL.
No, it doesn't. HODL equals "hold". "Buy" means make an active decision to buy, hold means make a passive not to make a decision.
I am a NixOS user, but am interested in Guix. Based on a cursory look I have some questions:

- How big is Guix on GNU? Does it throw wrenches in your way if you do anything "unfree"? How easy is it to install the nvidia-drivers?
- How is the package ecosystem? 20.000 official packages seems a little low? Are there community packages? How easy it is to create your own packages? Why is the Neovim package only at version 4.4 [1]? Isn't version 5 officially released?
- How good is the documentation?
- Is there a project roadmap? Are there any issues preventing adoption?

Lol I KNEW IT! An independent consultant blogging about awesome things in Azure? #doubt

Seriously, yeah, if he's an MVP, he'll be fine.
"What design apps are the Microsoft designers using on a Mac that they can't use on a Windows machine? (Is it Mac-only Sketch?)"

The main designer tools, as far as I am aware, are bundled in the Adobe suite and that works on windows, as well as Mac.

But there are tons of other designer apps, that are Mac only - but I would assume it is mainly a designer thing to have Macs - they have been succesfully marketed (and to some excent were designed) for creative folks.
IMO Guix is better but still has some work. My major pet-peeve of Guix is it's anti-proprietary software, which is a necessary compromise. The world is composed of many different people and beliefs; software should be belief-agnostic.
I intend on releasing this next weekend. Thank you for the feedback.

Haven't flakes been non-experimental since 2.4?
> Likewise, some people and many businesses see the immediate now and aren't always the best at planning for long term, and/or are overly optimistic that their pain points will eventually be fixed.

But that's the thing. The pain points mentioned in this article aren't really that strong to need to ditch the OS and move to a new one. These kinds of decisions have huge tradeoffs.

One could argue, in fact, that moving to a non-traditional OS will make it much harder to hire experts or hand off the system to another team in the future.
> The simple answer here is that Troy was using Cloudflare to offset costs he knew he would incur with Azure.

I haven't checked, but are the prices for Azure CDN relatively competitive with Cloudflare? I think you'd probably get similar savings going that route, and it would all be Azure.
JavaScript also includes bad footgun-features like procedures, aka functions with effects. Neither Nix nor JSON have this feature, making Nix in this aspect closer to JSON than JavaScript is.
If anyone else wondered about the mentioned LU decomposition, Wikipedia says:

Before Typescript there was also Coffeescript. Sic transit. :)

I barely even realized that, since my hobby stuff doesn't come anywhere near the limit.

For those curious, the overage rate is $10/TB ($0.01/GB) after the transfer included in the plan.

The smallest amount of included transfer is 1TB for the $5/mo VPS.
Haven't even heard of DataPacket, thanks for the link!

And yeah I agree about the "some services are super low cost so you get hooked" thing. Always been my impression of Amazon: they look for what they can apply scale savings on (usually object storage, it seems) and make it cheap and then over-charge for almost everything else.
It feels like the title is wrong. Instead of saying "Linux is bad because I encountered X problem in production, which would have been prevented by BSD" the author goes on to list why BSD is better in general outside his specific use case.

Nothing wrong with the comparison probably, but I got the impression the author just really wanted to do the migration and found some reasons to do so, without actually needing it. Nothing wrong with that as well. It's just the expectations set by the title that are off
This changed a couple of years ago but GlusterFS does run on FreeBSD now.

On macOS, there's App Nap: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Pe...

I can see in the Activity Monitor that many apps actually are suspended this way: all the Apple stuff like Safari web content, Finder, Xcode, Music, but also quite a long list of 3rd party apps, like Microsoft Office or Sublime Text.

Unfortunately none of the messaging apps (Slack, Signal, WhatsApp) and their content and rendering processes ever seem to nap, nor seem other Electron-based stuff like VS Code. They're all happily eating 1-5% CPU, all day. Shame!

Exactly: algebraic numbers, despite not being periodic, are in general "reasonably far from each other", and especially from rationals.

I guess the problem can be solved using what you say, certainly.

It is only transcendentals that can be "too near" each other, and near rationals (this is Liouville's result, which was improved later on, in a specific case the one you say).
vmstat -z gives me counters of kernel limit failures on FreeBSD. Very useful when debugging errors in very high performance environments. Anybody knows what the Linux equivalent is?

Is Lumeer.io a Good Choice as a Work Management and Collaboration Platform?
For a number of years, I have been running my own company to help a small selection of good business IT partners with lead generation up to deal closing. The number of partners and leads grows nicely so now I have a need for a good administration to manage it all.

After a few trials with spreadsheets I recently I came across the data-driven, SAAS Work Management & Collaboration platform https://www.lumeer.io/ from the Czech company Lumeer.

Lumeer.io offers an ideal mix of functionalities as we know from MS Excel, Ms Access, Word, MS project, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Kanban/Trello and Visual Basic scrips in one platform!.

All my data should be securely encrypted sent back and forth via the internet to a GDPR compliant data centre in Germany, And if I want to, I can download all my data, the data definitions and scripts to a JSON file and thus switch to another package one day. So no vendor lock-in. The basic version of Lumeer is free to use forever. Lumeer has been around for 5 years and already has customers on all continents.

So I gave it a try and so far so good. But Lumeer is pretty unknown and a small company. Am i doing the right thing to invest time and effort in configuring Lumeer the way it fit's my needs? What's your opinion?

My experiences with Lumeer so far:

When you start Lumeer.io you come to a home-screen where you can first create a Table for each business entity (a customer, an invoice, an article) and in a spreadsheet-like way (called Table-view) add new columns/fields to your table, set attributes and then fill them with data directly. Tables can easily be linked together (linking an invoice with one customer and with several invoice lines) and filled with data in a combined Tables-view. Besides the Table view, there is also a Maps view, Calendar view, Detail view, Form view, Chart view, Pivot view, Workflow view, Timeline view and Kanban view.

All views allow you to directly view, filter, sort, modify and add data. Lumeer includes a visual scripting feature (based on Google's Blockly) that allows you to easily create scripts to manipulate data, create/print/PDF/email documents and to create all kinds of formulas and validations. Execution of these scripts can be triggered by a button at record or table level, or it can be triggered automatically when a table is changed or it executes periodically at a preset time.

Lumeer is also a collaborative platform where I can grant rights to all your collaborators (internal colleagues or external partners/customers based on their email address) to collectively view, modify and/or comment on a selection of columns/fields in certain tables and views and in real time. Users receive alerts via Lumeer and email when there is a relevant data change that requires them to take action.

So far I have tweaked Lumeer very easily to manage my leads pipeline my to-do's.
The main reason behind that is tether and its price manipulation.
What makes you assume that only 0 and >500k USD are possible outcomes? Why not 5k or 50k? Why can it not sustain as a niche asset in your book?

> anything in between is just a probability calculation of whether it will end up at one end or the other.

There is some strong assumption you’re leaving out here.
tl;dr - FreeBSD has ample nice features for their use case, and is considerably simpler. Linux has loads of unneeded (for their use case) features, and so many cooks in the kitchen that the ongoing cognitive load (to keep track of the features and complexity and changes) looks worse than the one-time load of switching over to FreeBSD.
Another problem I ran into is trying to figure out how each package wants me to define plugins. There are common examples for Python environments (Python packages are like plugins into Python) but when it came to other software, I was at a loss when digging into things, even after reading all of the general documentation.
Is the max of 50 million enough? 30% must be pretty lucrative, probably worth way beyond 50M. I wonder if further action would be taken if they won't comply and what that would be.
Interview with Dan Ragland, Intel's Head of Overclocking
As someone 8 months into a major Nix packaging effort (1200 package definitions, mostly auto-generated), this is 1000% the most significant issue. Reading the pills can get you the first little bit, like the difference between derivation and mkDerivation, but so much later stuff is just completely undiscoverable and inconsistent, like the fact that overrideAttrs may subtly not do what you want if it's a Python package since you have to use overridePythonAttrs instead, but the corresponding function for other builders (eg overrideBazelAttrs) doesn't exist.
I'm hesitant to add more because half-life is so dependent on the ROA (route of administration) and individual characteristics. For example, caffeine's half-life in a baby is multiple days.
2008 was a period of deflation. Of course inflation hedges would drop, when inflation was negative.

Oil, housing, car prices all dropped at that time. Prices dropped so low that companies like General Motors went bankrupt.

-------

We face an opposite problem today. Prices are going up. Old established companies love this, they can sell their stuff at higher prices. Aka, inflation. Turns out crypto was terrible at hedging this scenario.
Continued fraction approxmations are not a separable monotonically increasing sequence like decimal approximations are (the approximation goes up and down and the error range overlaps other nearby fractions of the same size), so you have no idea when you can terminate a partial computation.
Yes! When I was a junior or senior in college, I went through the list of PARC reports and made a list of perhaps 20 or more of them I might like. I was very surprised to eventually get a book-sized box full of reports.

That lead me to an interest in Xerox, and when I got out of college I went to work for Xerox in El Segundo on the Star project.

I stayed there for 7 years, so I'd say the company got their money's worth out of sending a college student a bunch of tech reports.
If a meteorite hit his current car, he could buy a luxury EV (or two) with the proceeds he got from selling his meteorite and collector car. I've only ever heard of one over such car, and it fetched a very high price for its 17-year-old owner.
Bundesservice Telekommunikation – unmasked: The secret service behind [German]
How to Make a Great Documentation
Hey team,

This is Joe and Stopa. We're best friends, worked at FB / Airbnb together, and are now building a company.

A bit back, we did an intense job search together. We went through 20 onsites, and landed senior / staff offers. We noticed that though there was a lot of content out there on interviews and negotiation, some of the ideas that made the biggest difference for us weren't talked about.

Some of many things:

- Lots of essays talk about getting a job in a week. The more senior you get, the more time you need to make the right decision. (It took us 100 days)

- Negotiation advice is often about the offer stage, but negotiation starts before you pick up your first phone call from the recruiter.

- There's lots of advice on algo interviews, but most of the advice on System Design / Engineering interviews is missing the key ideas you need to communicate

So, we decided to make a course. Initially we planned to charge for it, but thought it would be better to make it a public utility for hackers instead.

We hadn't done much with the course, but recently one of our friends shared how helpful it was to him, through his essay, "On Leaving Facebook" [1]. That inspired us, so we revamped it, and now present you the new and spiffy version.

We're proud to share this you with you :).

It doesnt take USD going to 0 to cause social instability.
