I tried to use a SAT solver to take strings like "I am Lord Voldemort" and generate human pronounceable permutations such as "Tom Marvolo Riddle".

I thought that if I could express permutation generation in language that the SAT solver could understand I'd end up with something faster than simply generating every permutation and checking to see if it is pronounceable.

I can't be sure if I was wrong, or if my implementation sucks, but it's halting-problem grade slow (https://github.com/MatrixManAtYrService/tomriddle), an utter failure.

Despite this, I sent a link to it in an interviewer with the message "here's some code I've written, in case you're curious". Instead of a coding challenge he just had me give him a tour of the code. I got the job (which is a good thing, because I become a much worse coder when people are watching me, I'd probably have bombed the coding challenge).
I think your last point is pretty solid — and since Wordle has this interesting angle of not supporting binging, there's an interesting possibility of a gentle upsell (“23 hours until the next Wordle, have you done today's Bee?”)
The issue is that it thinks you’re being tracked when someone else’s AirTag is near you for a period of time, but the owner isn’t. So if you’re with your wife and her keys, no problem. If you borrow her keys and leave the house without her, then it’s triggered.
Launch windows for leaving Earth orbit come around every couple years. But most of that million tons can be lifted to orbit and assembled well in advance. It's only a relatively small weight which is perishable -- some food and a few humans.
I work at a consulting firm with 20k people and get a lot of restaurant recommendations while traveling. I don't like any of the existing methods of managing these recommendations and associated data, so I'm building an app that makes it easier for me.

I envision the focus to be on the users writing the reviews/recommendations (rather than on a restaurant's star rating), where users and restaurants are suggested based on how well their own recommended and visited restaurants overlap with yours. In this way, you would be able to follow other users whose taste you trust.
I'm surprised that anybody is surprised by this result.

This is an interesting question.

Though it's not really an answer to that specific question, Jerome Siegel in one paper says: "although animals in the wild are usually healthier that those confined to laboratories and zoos, animals in the wild often have less sleep that those in zoos. Sloths in the lab average 15 h/day of sleep, but they sleep 9 h/day in the wild. Frigate birds in cages sleep 9.3 h, but when flying over the ocean for 10 day periods they sleep 0.7 h/day, without rebound. Fur seals have 80 min of REM sleep/day on land, but in water, where they spend >70% of their life, they average 3 min of REM a day. They have no REM “rebound” when they return to land."

It's funny because the open source arms control community (like Martin Pfeiffer[1]) works really hard to inform people of how few safeguards our nuclear policy has. But even those anemic safeguards (the idea that only the president can arbitrarily launch nukes) have frequently been illusory!

I genuinely think we way-under-rate how closely we escaped nuclear annihilation in the last 100 years.

I've seen some good media interviews with Pierre (I'm thinking of one of the flq related ones where the CBC was giving him a hard time and he argues circles around them). He was obviously intellectual and whether you agreed with him or not he thought about what he was doing. It wasn't genetic apparently. I think he would be embarrassed to see the shallow intellectual position his son has on anything.
I haven't tried reading the text of The Act, most of the press about it focuses on E2EE-type messaging systems. So presumably if this passes, Signal would have to move offshore or something? (for example)

But what about HTTPS certificates, would The Act have any effect on them? Would there be any legal issues with (for example) running your own Matrix server?

And what about hosting providers (instead of platforms). Would Amazon be compelled to decrypt HTTPS traffic en-mass that's routed to their machines?

What about the fallout from the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior? It was my understanding that nuclear technology was a source of national pride at the time, which emboldened the French government. Public support for nuclear power seems much less enthusiastic these days. Still, I'm curious if there was ever an election where candidates' positions on the event were at issue.

Yep, I can really feel the friction from the gears in his head when he's trying to explain something at a general level, or express broad empty platitudes about space, electric cars, AI, or whatnot. That's something I've definitely struggled with, and also why I dig it when he shuts off the filter and starts talking about leaky flanges or deleting some crufty noise-absorbing padding that was the engineering equivalent of the parable of monkeys with a ladder. Like if I wanted to hear billionaires bloviating boring bullet points about business buzzwords, I'd listen to Bezos.

bzflag is one of those timeless games, like nethack, xpilot, and even Doom now. People just keep playing and hacking them... for decades.

That’s a very good question, because sequencing tends to be the place where implementations vary the most.

Usually there will be some way to sort systems into steps and define the order of those steps. Some require you to hardcode the order, others define constraints like “after input” or “before physics” and attempt to solve those constraints, and some let you define groups that can run together and you define the order of the groups. Explicit signaling is not typically built in, but you may be able to implement it yourself if desired.

In environments with an expressive type system, most tend to favor the constraints model. Otherwise ordering tends toward the hardcoded approach, typically implicitly in registration order.

As to managing what systems are responsible for updating a given component’s state, that tends to be left to the game developer.

Sometimes there is a concept of events and if it’s not obvious who should mutate something then systems that want to mutate will send events that later systems can consume. For instance an input system and an AI system might both send a Move(entity, direction) event that a later system validates and applies.

And because it’s cute to do so, often times those events will be implemented as components themselves, with convenience wrappers to make it feel more natural to end user developers. This can come in handy for networked games and debugging in editor. You could also use it in game, such as displaying a unit’s next planned move in a turn-based game.

He also has a deep understanding of how important government assistance was to getting SpaceX where it is now but that hasn't stopped him from trying to stop others from benefiting from the same.

He shows a lack of rational thought in regards too SpaceX that is sometimes rather worrying. Take, for example, the time he smoked a blunt on camera which isn't exactly what one of his largest customers likes to see in their executives they are entrusting with launching one of a kind national security assets.

I'm glad SpaceX has an actual professional management team to run most day to day operations.

Another amateur Australian fiction writer here. I started last year around the time of the lockdowns.

I'm in the same boat as you just writing for fun and enjoying the process. I'll probably look at the self-publishing route once I've finished my current WIP. I've learned a huge amount about various topics, including empathy for the characters I write about, and it has given me more appreciation for the skill of the writers I love.

Also I hacked together an E-Ink "typewriter" for writing https://i.postimg.cc/2S53Pt7J/foto-no-exif-1.jpg

Well, Apple could potentially make users download an app to read the UUID (hopefully not iOS-only), although obviously printing it would be better.
vscode is great for working on remote machines. i work across a few and theres almost no difference between working on a local vscode workspace and a remote one, as long as the connection is good. easy to set up, and theres no syncing or anything either like pycharm seemed to do. you work directly on the remote machine, same as ssh+vim through a terminal

and as a more general tip, that came as a result of coordinating between multiple dev/test/prod machines: use different workspace colour themes to quickly know where you are, and maybe change the default to something terrible.

my main dev machines stay nice and comfy to look at, test isnt too bad either but a very different colour. but prod uses my new default, a horrible bright red, making it impossible to forget im not in a designated safe space

> Already Intel makes 2-core chips by deactivating 2 of the cores in 4-core chips.

Those deactivated cores are defective. Turning them off and selling a downgraded version makes sense.

This is the complete opposite. The chip works fine, it's just refusing to let you use what you want because you haven't paid Intel enough. Intel isn't really selling you a processor, they're allowing you to use one.

It’s not a non sequitur. It’s a response to a nonsensical argument ie “regulation makes markets more free” It’s oxymoronic.

I used to work with a guy who got his start at Atari, right out of Berkeley. He did the hardware design on Missile Command. Supporting what Ed Rotberg said in the article, he was a "make love not war" type.

When you lose all the cities in Missile Command, the game ends with a big message "THE END". He would have liked to make a more overt message decrying the madness of nuclear weapons, so they settled on a subtle protest. "THE END" appears inside a stop sign octagon. [1]

Run a Tor Bridge (not the same thing as a regular Tor relay). This helps people in oppressive regimes bypass Internet censorship (e.g., China's Great Firewall). The way it works is that bridge traffic is disguised to not look like Tor traffic, and there's no public list or other easy way to identify which computers are Tor Bridges, as there is for regular Tor relays.
This is pretty funny, but in functioning financial markets, it's just as hard to pick losers as winners.

> On claims of unit testing and OOP, I'm not going to go there much more because I still don't unit test my stuff. I'm currently not against it. I just don't know about it much. I find it much easier to formally verify things correct than to test that they're correct.

I pretty much use my IDE as a text editor with really fast search with default to case-sensitive regex on non-test source files. Navigating into definitions, back-forward through file visits. Cmd-E (JetBrains) to choose from recently opened files. That's about all. Oh and the IDE's resolve git conflicts.

I just started working on a cli tool to easily create, manage, and spin up dev environments in docker containers. The
initial impetus for starting the project was to try out Doom Emacs without messing with my current Emacs setup, so an
example session could be:

dv new emacs dev-img-emacs:latest

dv start emacs

dv conn emacs

The first line creates a new "development environment" named emacs, based on the docker image dev-img-emacs:latest.
The second line starts up a docker container based on the saved image. The third line connects to the running image
via mosh (or ssh).

Mostly I just meant to use it as a learning experience, but it's actually been really convenient in a lot of ways, so
I think I might develop it further.
Only 17% actually strongly support

Also this survey is flawed:

> This web survey was conducted from February 4 to February 6, 2022, with 1,546 Canadians and 1,005 Americans, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.

Why are the opinions of Americans used to represent Canadian support?

How much would the support change after they know of the actions taken after Feb 6 like the border and airport blockades?
Yeah, imagine what it's like when your friends and family make comments like this or wish death on you for wanting to have the freedom to choose if taking something is right for you or not. For the record, I'm vaccinated and donated in Canadian dollars.

Why is it called Edge though?

I immediately assumed it was some kind of distributed db running at the edge but it seems this is not the case.
There is not much I can say to any of that, but I do find it interesting. Unfortunate, but interesting. I would still say I am Aleut and that the Aleutian Islands are our original, true home. There has been evidence of people for thousands of years, no it’s not necessarily one singular bloodline, but I still stand by the sense of how much history there is, and I feel I have ties to it. Too often, Native claims to land are argued with, invalidated, or dismissed as far as “we’re all from somewhere else.” I am distrustful of genetic testing/results for the second to last paragraph there—we’ve really been nearly wiped out compared to e.g. Inupiat who still have a fair number of full blooded individuals. Aleuts were enslaved and carted across the coast of Alaska by Russians and our genetic history — to say little of oral history, traditions, and culture — is not perfectly clear as a result.

Edit: I am not trying to sound arguing or anything—just am apprehensive for this kind of thing, I always hesitate to comment on Native-related things because it is a near and dear issue for me. I’ve always thought Far East groups had similarities in boat design and such, it makes sense to me that there are such waves of flow.
So, I think the title misleads. The discovery is regarding the boundary layer, not just turbulence. Im pretty sure my 25 year old fluid mechanics book has equations for turbulence, just none for the area between turbulent and laminar flows. Forgive me if I'm wrong, its been... well 25 years.
> You might as well say that gravity has nothing to do with up and down.

To be pedantic, gravity has nothing to do with “up” or “down”, it’s just the attraction of two or more masses relative to one another. “Up” or “down” is perspective. If someone on the South Pole is looking up and someone on the North Pole is looking down, an argument could be made that the person on the South Pole is actually looking down.

neocities-like "free website" service
Varoufakis was doing the hyperbole by saying "work for free" when he knows that people get some value. We can nit-pick the hyperbole, but the gist is still a fine enough point about the value being mainly from the users and extracted for profit by the platforms.

> Arguably, the current best economic theory basically says that because exchange takes place assuming users are rational enough, the exchanged value is identical.

I'll take that argument. If that's the best economic theory, it just validates my assertion that the field of economics is mostly a farce.

That "theory" is nothing but a say-so assertion that doesn't even try to look for evidence. It's unfalsifiable BS.

Some platforms provide great value. But the world is full of cases of middle-men and gatekeepers that have worked their way into that position and are little more than extractive. They might as well not exist. The reason people choose to go through them is for the value they get from the end exchange, not because they prefer to go through the middle-man. It all depends on the particular cases. The phenomenon of rent-seeking middle-men is not some myth.
The title should have (1982), because that's when the article was first published.
