I think the full list of words being hardcoded and readily available is not a kind of elegant simplicity, but simply an inelegant compromise to get everything done client-side, which has obvious benefits. It's the one thing I would change about Wordle's implementation.
UUIDs are not text. Most uuid parsers ignore hyphens and braces, so citext will not help you.

Use the native uuid type, or as a fallback, store it in a 16 byte binary blob.
China still needs western markets. While western manufactures are moving production to other countries, China is learning the hard way directly selling to Western consumers. It is both costly to service western markets directly due to difference in expectations and risky due to political intervention.

The fact is that China currently doesn't have an orbit. It doesn't have NATO, anything resembling the CT/TTP (the absence of the US is one of the major policy failures of the Trump presidency) or NAFTA. Belt and Road has developed the reputation of being completely exploitative, and a way to offload surplus construction capacity in China.

This ties in with the current problems we see in China, where the construction sector is far too large and not sustainable.

My point about nuclear is that China is very limited in where is can project its power.
A guide to IPFS connectivity in web browsers
The example at the top of OP was of using UUIDs though. If they are supplied by a client in a distributed/async system, I guess they count as user-supplied.

The root of the problem with regard to UUIDs, though, seems to be that MySQL doesn't actually provide a UUID type, so the system in question was just storing their hex-dash representation as a string.

There's several things going on in the OP example that deserve more discussion than they get.
I would argue it was enshrined in law because people liked it so much they demanded it, so maybe that's a semantics issue? That said, I do not believe the law insists that it be in the lowest level: the law merely insists that it exist for every site. It is convenient to put it at the lowest level if possible, but now it is just one more thing that literally every browser has to implement from scratch, and so the world that results is that the only company capable of making a good web browser is Google. There are sane reasons why accessibility is not considered part of a CPU (and thereby by most other reasonable runtime engines).

Prediction: Western currencies are on the way out. The US in particular can never repay its debt, it can't even normalize interest rates because it can't afford the interest. What will replace it is government-issued crypto-currency that will give them total control over how you spend money. If the Mayor of New York doesn't want you to buy soda, your currency will not be capable of being traded for soda in NYC.

Now I know why lots of terrorists, extremists and dark net criminals are running to Signal with the release of a private untraceable cryptocurrency called MobileCoin, which allows them to fund their operations anywhere in the world.

They seem to be starting to learn that Signal's USP is great for criminals and scammers.

The state could use public resources better by providing uniform education on cryptocurrencies. Most of the terms aren't standardized and even their use isn't.

For example, if you put up a Google Form and asked for people's Ethereum addresses, many will provide the 0xAbc123 version and many others will provide the Abc123 version without the 0x. Both audiences may not realize that the 0x is purely cosmetic and addresses and transaction IDs can be resolved without it.

Furthermore the state could go further and have examples of smart contracts that help trade, business and commerce function well, instead of malicious contracts that undermine confidence in that system. Similar to the role OpenZeppelin has taken with standardized smart contracts. The US Federal Government has created multiple federal agencies before, specifically to provide confidence and order to markets where there wasn't. So just take some inspiration from 100 years ago and apply the same standard here, as opposed to a CNBC article about the value of scams justifying your aversion to this market.

The state could go even further by writing and collaborating on smart contracts, even submitting pull requests or other equivalent contributions to OpenZeppelin contracts or other smart contracts. This would make it easy for market participants to quickly evaluate a smart contract and see how closely it conforms.

I'm going to get ahead of the curve and warn everyone: Yes, Electron web application. Yes, noticeable input delay. Yes, memory consumption is how you might expect it to be.

They distribute on Linux with an AppImage, though, which at least isn't a Snap or Flatpak, so there's that, I guess.

If you want a non-proprietary Electron application, take a look at Logseq, or Athens (YC some year that I'm too lazy to look up).

If you want a non-proprietary non-Electron application, Emacs has a Roam mode, and a couple other Zettelkasten modes.

If you want all that, but you don't care about proprietary operating systems and you want it following the Apple HIG, the popularizer of the Zettelkasten method did it via Textmate.

If you don't mind those things, it's a shiny new application. You might enjoy it. The pricing model is a SaaS, and they lock down the API and limit the amount of entries you can have if you're using the free tier. Standard stuff. It's a very shiny application, and has a dark mode, apparently.

Deflationary currency encourages savings, inflationary currency encourages spending. We're just so accustomed to a world where our money is steadily becoming worthless that sometimes we forget there are other options.
Electronic fuel injection definitely made cars more frugal back in the 90s. Also improved aerodynamics helped a bit. On the other hand, due to crash test requirements cars are now significantly heavier (I guess around 20%), people are also driving faster and enjoy more power and dynamics from the vehicle, which not only wastes fuel, but also leads to the use of wider tires, which are more expensive to produce and impact fuel economy negatively.

ATONE is a good one based on letter frequency - I wonder if letter position might lead you to another word, for example one that ends with "ed", "er" or "es". Or has an "e" as the second to last character?

Edit: I just read in a comment, plural or past tense words seem to be less common in the Wordle word set, so my example wouldn't make as much sense.
That example is something of a red herring. If you're a CEO, or someone in a high visibility corporate role, don't talk about political hot-button issues in a public forum.

You have the right to do so, but you also have the possibility of being nailed to the cross (apt metaphor, in this case) for doing so.

So taking the risk is stupid from a personal perspective.

I think it goes without saying that this is too relative. One thing that is common in both fields is the level of research and reading docs it entails.

I used to tell my students "software engineering is 70% reading and 30% coding". This remained consistent as I dove into Data Science and now ML with computer vision at Roboflow.

Of course the first time I was exposed to it during a fellowship, I thought I was out of my depths, but this comes with everything new.

To @deepsun point, I've found Kaggle's intro courses quite excellent as well.

I went through much of this a few weeks ago, and this article would have saved me quite a bit of time. Like others here, siglen is new to me, so I'll have to have a play around with that.

One thing that bothered me was how cumbersome the queries become once you start having to concatenate and coalesce a whole bunch of columns together. Postgres has a variadic function called "concat_ws" which ought to be useful here, especially as it implicitly coalesces NULL inputs to empty string. However, it's not declared to be immutable, so can't be used in an expression index.

The solution (from Erwin Brandstetter's answer on Stack Overflow) is to use an immutable variant of this, constrained to only handle data of type "text".

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54372666/create-an-immut...

With this immutable concat function in place, and a trigram expression index making use of it, the WHERE clauses become a lot more concise, for example, the clause in the final query of the article reduces to just:

WHERE immutable_concat_ws(' ', asin, reviewer_id, reviewer_name, summary) ilike '%' || input.q || '%'

That is not accurate. The old testament is something like 80% of the bible. It contains the ten commandments, the story of creation and many other things that are still in use today. Like any other religion, different sects have different interpretations of the Bible, but I'm not aware of anyone who throws the old testament out entirely (it also wouldn't make much sense, Jesus is fulfilling a prophecy from the old testament, without that he's just some guy). Further, you will often hear about a "personal relationship with Christ" that the faithful have, that is to say everyone interpets the Bible differently.
All protected classes are protected classes because society agreed that they should be and codified those beliefs into law.

The argument that is being made is that people who want to pay cash should be a protected class, with their ability to transact protected in law, so that every participant in society may benefit from those rights should they ever be needed.

Latex is way harder to master than markdown. While it offers also way more features, it mixes (to a certain degree) semantic information with styling information. And at least to me Latex code looks just ugly.

And have you ever tried to write complex tables with Latex? A nightmare!

The best approach to write structured documents in a non-WYSIWYG way is AsciiDoc. You get a clean separation between content with its semantics and styling and you have a all the features you need for the biggest technical or scientific books.
Natural keys are perfectly fine. You just have to realize that you don't have full control over their sematics. But you absolutely require that to be able to construct the foreign key links in your datbase schema.

Therefore, by all means feel free to introduce and save any natural keys that the application requires. But do not rely on them for foreign keys.
readme.com is great, but unfortunately it does not work for Async API.
I also got frustrated with overly personalized results in Google News. I tried following a variety of sources on Twitter but that didn't work as well as I'd like either. I made my own topic-aligned news feed, and made a browser extension too (if you're reading an article online, it shows similar articles from other websites).

Yes, that is also my understanding - imposter is someone doing without skills and it looks well on the surface vs imposter syndrome is someone struggling, feeling desperate and suffering in performance due to a mismatch of self perceived skills and self perceived skill requirements.

Software is a team effort where the individual contribution is only a fraction of the whole. Even worse we just extend what others have provided before. As it was argued in ‚No silver bullet‘ our work is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is doable. No wonder we feel small.
> There is plenty of clean energy.

Potential, yes. We just don't have the infrastructure to harness it at the moment, nor will we have it in the close future.

In the meantime we're running on dirty energy. (Source: IEA)

Yes, it's depressing.

> It is not running out.

Unless you have a technological breakthrough to announce, the problem is not so much "clean energy running out" as "clean energy not being there yet, and dirty energy either running out or our time with a bearable climate running out."

Yes, it's depressing.

> Abstinence-only climate education is such a depressing notion.

On board with that. But this is about moderation, not abstinence.

"Wear condoms, drink sensibly, and don't change your phone every year."

Yep, it's depressing.

Except the alternative is more depressing to me. But sure, if we cure aids, vaccinate against hangovers, and perfect fusion...
"widest possible tires" from the article sounds wrong, not because of width but because wider tires are typically knobby type (don't know if that's the right word?). Tires for mountain bike use are far from optimal for city/pavement usage - they're noisier, can produce micro vibrations, and often feel much worse when cornering. Semi slick tires with some water channels are better in almost all cases, except on very soft surfaces. You don't have to put super narrow tires, but some medium width semi slick tires greatly improve pavement ride compared to m/b tires.

I'm not sure 40 cards is enough to build the habits and value necessary to justify £8 a month. A free tier with unlimited cards but no sync/local only, could help to get users into seeing value.

Also, as much as I'd like to use this, I can't use it due to work security policies. Having a local-only mode with no telemetry would be great. I'd happily pay a one-off for this (after trialling).

App looks useful but Markdown as a service? And no self hosting even in premium?
This looks nice if you need to use its features however for me Notable [1] is the perfectly minimal & Free Markdown Notes App that does everything I need from a Notes/TODOs App: has a quick UI to manage a static directory of Markdown files, with search, tags & pinned notes.

No vendor lock-in since it maintains its features requiring metadata in frontmatter in simple .md files that's easy to open with VS Code, backup in git, etc.

It's the only Notes App that's stuck over using Notepad.exe for writing quick notes.

You think ASML wants to run afoul with the US, even if they can't force ASML? The main reason ASML has EUV is because it was funded by the US government to develop it. Now the tech is mostly ASMLs own, but they still have close ties to the US.

USA didn't have to force ASML to stop selling to China, they just had to ask them nicely.
They aren't employed.

From Wiki originally:

> the annual risk of a given person being hit by a meteorite is estimated to be one chance in 17 billion, which means the probability is about 0.00000000006 (6 × 10−11), equivalent to the odds of creating a few tens of trillions of UUIDs in a year and having one duplicate. In other words, only after generating 1 billion UUIDs every second for the next 100 years, the probability of creating just one duplicate would be about 50%.

So in a theoretical sense, no, but in a practical sense, yes. The same is true for any custom ID format like yours as well. 128 bits is enough to never hit a dup though, so you don't need to go crazy.

Your database should be what authoritatively guarantees uniqueness at the end of the day — generate UUIDs assuming no collisions (which will ~always be true), but store in a UNIQUE index so things'll fail in case of a duplicate or a bug that results in trying to store the same ID twice.

Regardless of which party broke the news the CIA had no problem talking about it like it was a good thing back when they were boasting about all the I's they dotted and T's they crossed to make sure "this ways the guy" prior to the raid.
From what I read regarding the current block, USA couldn't force ASML under current US law, because ASML uses less than 25% US technology.

But USA didn't have to force them. ASML's EUV tech started out as a US funded venture, so I don't think they want to start a fight with USA.

And USA could obviously change its laws to block sales of technology even if less than 25% of the end product is from USA.
> They freaked out.

Yes, indeed.

> the separatists would still fight

Maybe (IMO unlikely but it's debatable), but I doubt they would do anything like that [0] [1]. For [0], they're not freaked out enough. For [1], civilians don't have the equipment.

It's OK for a country to have internal conflicts. Every country has some, yet in most cases they don't turn into a war.

> the rebels are often backed by some country.

The only problem, rebels were invented by Russian propaganda.

> The ideais that they are being decimated.

That too, and no Ukrainian would ever believe that. Before the war, they had generally positive attitude towards Russians, with millions of mixed families.

> from Georgia who were shelling them badly

> USA is helping nationalists break away from Russian influence

Do you have a source for any of these claims?

bitcoin mining provides an opportunity for anyone, anywhere to convert their computing resources into value. the competitive pressure is to have more efficient energy usage than your competitors

so in reality, bitcoin provides an direct incentive for more efficient computing (the kind that can't be handle with by building smaller, more efficient processors). it might do more to boost computational efficiency (and reduce emissions) than all the millions of pages of blogger platitude-ing flooding the internet
Actually, from my experience, hi-fi audio is more about the complete sound rather than details itself.

I've played in orchestras and have a respectable system at home, and the biggest differentiator is not the details, but how these details interact and create a bigger, more immersive soundstage. Yes, you can hear subtle sounds of a bow or a cymbal, but the exciting part is how sounds mesh and play with each other.

So, as I age, the excitement of listening the same or new songs with that system doesn't fade away. I still get the same joy, and shiver when I hear that soundstage.

Actually, jitter is really something about audio CDs burned in CD Writers. I still have a Yamaha CRW-F1 CD recorder, and it has a feature to abuse Red Book standard to record audio with bigger pits to ease the CD player's job of tracking the disc. It reduces a 80 minute disc to 66 minutes, but with a higher quality CD like TDK, the sound was noticeably different on the system I aforementioned in this comment.

Currently, that set is fed by a much better CD player, and I'm sure that its tracking is leaps and bounds ahead of the older player, but it was really made a difference back then. I'm not sure with today's electronics, it'd make such a difference anymore.
FWIW, constructors do not "create" (I assume you mean allocate) memory. That's the job of operator new. A constructor, given a block of untyped memory, will construct an object in it.
It is different because it doesn't link to anything, doesn't have a call to action, no "free gems!" etc
