The lawsuit is pathetic.

Publishers have completely exposed themselves as useless rent-seekers and I say this as a person who started reading at 5 and have never stopped. When an author gets an advance to write a book...then fails to do so for 7+ years with no sign from the publisher that enforcement (either retraction of funds or something) is in the offing...they no longer look necessary or credible. At a certain point the internet is a better distribution model for all but the unknown...and publishers won't take a chance on them anyway unless they know someone in the office.

I got into a "discussion" with a midlist author last year about the fact that they had cancelled a planned series of books with nothing said to their readers and then sent emails around touting another series with a different protagonist. They haughtily explained to me that I knew nothing about publishing and that the publisher had cancelled the previous series. I replied that I didn't need to know anything about publishing just arithmetic. They knew how many copies of each book they sold so they had a pretty good idea of how many people were waiting for the next book. I asked them to multiply that by $5 at a minimum and said that that was how much money they were leaving on the table....and no I wasn't interested in anymore books from them because the series might end with no warning and I'd rather spend my time elsewhere.

The problem is that Publishing, much like Journalism, as an industry has never learned to think laterally and invest in adjacent things...like ink companies, paper alternatives and printing plants. They should be following the lead of companies like Macquarie in Australia or MSLO (yes, Martha Stewart) who took her knowledge of "how it should be done" and sold it down market to great effect.

Book Publishers are one trick ponies and they need to broaden their bases and it shouldn't include going after an archive service that effective hurt no one and possibly help a few people deal with being cooped up during the pandemic. Journalists have the same problem and an equally useless response. Ads are not the answer...better journalism and investing in research houses, specialty publishers etc.

Did not think about that... interesting (unintended) side effect.
It entirely rests upon how much damage can be inflicted upon Putin's new (10-15 years old, but really just being birthed with this invasion), aggressively expansive Russian Empire.

If you say a lot, then the ROI can be very high.

Russia formally has a new Stalin, a new Tsar, whatever you want to title him with. And the world should act accordingly. Putin will have to kill a lot of people domestically from here on out if he's moving into Empire mode, because the situation will get messy very fast and there will be real domestic opposition and he'll strongly dislike that.

Russia is a leper again.

And besides this, we should be defending the new, fragile democracy in Ukraine, on a moral basis. They're our friends and they want our help.

> even though both mean the same thing

Donetsk and Luhansk have declared independence, and Russia has recognised them. Secession is not a new phenomenon; Texas seceded from Mexico. Several regions seceded from the former Yugoslavia, and were rapidly recognised (and reinforced militarily) by western countries.

I think it's perfectly legitimate to argue that Russia is not invading Ukraine, but rather supporting the Donbas republics. I mean, I don't agree; and I think there's a fair chance that Russia will invade Ukraine, and install a puppet. But they haven't done it yet. I suspect that for the next few weeks, they'll restrict themselves to air and missile attacks on Ukrainian military installations, with troops-on-the-ground restricted to Donbas.

Beyond a few weeks, who's to say? No plan survives first contact with the enemy.
That's not the distinction here: these are two different Stockfish JS projects, both of which port the NNUE version.
I wish all property of Russian companies outside of Russia were just nationalized by respective countries and all trade with Russia stopped.
> There is nothing in bitcoin's code that makes it deflationary.

Depends on how strict you want to be. The number of coins the system allows is fixed. But the number of usable coins will decrease as coins are trapped in lost wallets. Software bugs, hardware failures, deaths, and simple forgetfulness will always make some coins unusable.

On the other hand, while "Bitcoin" on its own is deflationary, the whole ecosystem is wildly inflationary. There are uncounted forks of Bitcoin and related systems filling every speculation niche people can imagine.

I think the Sanctions/No Sanctions debate is mostly moot. North Korea has been in the status of pariah state for decades and hasn't bent an inch. Compare that to China for whom we gladly swept the Tiananman Massacre under the rug, respected their sovereignty, made them a top trading partner and they have also not bent an inch. And we have hosted thousands of Chinese grad students at our universities. They are also watching the events in Ukraine right now and thinking "Why not Taiwan?" Modern dictators have learned very well the propaganda game. "We're rich because our enemies fear us" or "We're poor because our enemies are mistreating us" both work pretty well.

It was the opposite for me. You could successfully solo in WoW while it was nearly or completely impossible in EverQuest beyond level 30 or 40 or so (IIRC). That meant you had an easier time catching up with your friends if you have to take a day or two off of playing. In EQ if you fell behind you stayed behind unless you were lucky enough to find pick-up groups (hours of LFG anyone?) or your friends were cool with slumming it.

I don't disagree with your premise that mobile abstracts away the file system. However many people do put rather a lot of effort into organizing files on mobile. I clean and sort my downloads folder just like on my computer, but more importantly the majority of people I know use folders to handle the now thousands of pictures we generate on mobile.
Great work and thank you.

I ran Rails in production years back and swore it off then. We had constant memory leaks that seemingly came from Rails itself, and the only solution we had was "just restart the server." We also had no typing then, so every bug was a runtime bug. Hopefully it's improved in the years since...

I've been happily running Go backends for the past 7 years now, and they're stable and fast and easy to refactor.

I’m having trouble getting the patent to load on my phone, but my interpretation of the “codon optimized” patented sequence is that although the sequence codes for a naturally occurring protein sequence, the RNA triplets that are actually used are not naturally occurring.

MolBio 102 for software engineers: each amino acid is coded for by 3 RNA bases. However, the number of possible RNA triplets (4^3=64) is greater than the number of amino acids (20), so some amino acids have multiple triplets assigned to them. For instance, both UUA and CUG code for the same amino acid (leucine), but one of them is more efficient to express. The implicit argument is that consistent preferential use of these optimal codons is evidence of genetic engineering rather than natural evolution.
There was basic support from the beginning, but what really caused the community to flourish were modding frameworks.

I write a little about it in the blog post: https://supershields.io/blog/1

TL;DR is that most Lua engines seem to offer pretty weak support for sandboxing, unfortunately. Gopher-lua, that Supershields is using, makes it hard to adopt a whitelist-approach where you disable more or less everything and then enable just the functionality you want. Blacklisting (where you specify everything you want to disable) is fairly simple though, but not as secure of course.

For Supershields I have used a combination of blacklisting and running the scripts on serverless instances (AWS Lambda), which limits the impact of a breach.
Before reading the article, I had hoped the power ratio would be something close to 0.7-0.8 but was disappointed that it was only 0.33

Even with ITER it should be a very long way until we will get a ratio of 1:1, not to mention of greater than 1.

Will the AI controlling method would help to a breakthrough?
Agreed. The attack on Ukraine is actually rather later than I imagined that it would happen (I thought this would happen immediately after Trump lost the election).

What happens next is anybody's guess and that's a very bad feeling to have in times like these, the fate of the world as we know it is in the balance.
A company is worth what people are willing to pay for it's shares. The share price is not the same as valuation, which can be seen in the example above. It can also be seen with what is commonly called value investing, which is used by possibly millions of people, purchasing shares where the book value is greater than the trading value.
> If you follow the news agenda in Russian news agencies you will notice that Putin has placed a lot of blame on the latest negotiations. Apparently no one was willing to negotiate and he went for broke.

Most of Russia's demands were unreasonable nonstarters. IIRC, he demanded NATO pull troops out of some EU countries. Saying "no one was willing to negotiate" is very misleading. It's victim blaming, like saying a mugger was justified in shooting his victim because he wasn't willing to negotiate over the mugger's demand he hand over his cash.

4) uniquely, a button to allow to you load any individual images you wish to view; 5) links at bottom of page to equivalent page on full size; 6) sitemap; 7) an actual release notes page!"

It doesn't help that their KISS vs DRY example is a poor one. A single use is already DRY. DRY only applies when you have something getting duplicated, and if there is no duplication then you have nothing to DRY. So really it's KISS vs YAGNI that they're showing, and not KISS vs DRY.

Better would have been to show multiple, similar, validation procedures and then the DRY version, at least that would have been an appropriate use of the DRY principle. But even then, marshaling and unmarshaling the data like that is bordering on moronic. Generic, yes, but still bad code. Certainly unsuitable for any tight loops, and it only contains one notion of validation (is data present). It does not handle the case where the empty string may be a valid value. It does not include any kind of invariant checks (if foo.X in A then foo.Y in f(A), 1 < foo.Z < 1000, etc.). Once your validation routines include those, it'll become obvious that there is no good generic validation routine and having one validation routine per structure is DRY.

> company is worth what people are willing to pay for it's shares

If you say a company’s shares are “worth” $1 per share, you imply that’s what people are willing to pay for it. If you’re playing with the word “worth,” it’s your incumbency to explain that deviance from the common use.

Par value is a legal term. Book value is an (increasingly anachronistic) accounting term; actually, several terms, since GAAP book is separate from IASB or Chinese book, but I digress. Each of which are separate from market value, which is also various; consider a public stock: does one take the bid or the offer or the mid market tick? At Noon or the closing or a VWAP?

Companies play with their headline valuation. In this you are correct. But they’re playing with the ambiguity that stumbles you.

I agree that 64bit ints is not a stellar solution. If anything it should be an something like UUID, so it can be unique across filesystems, and something the users shouldn't normally have to deal with.
Ah, that's fine.

You're getting downvoted but this really is a great point. People tend to avoid GPL in commercial settings. What blocks other people from using GPL on the commercial side is the "share alike" aspects of it, but it's still open source because commercial use is still allowed.

“It’s rare to become addicted to esoteric hallucinogens. But it’s not impossible.”

I think it’s extremely difficult to become physiologically addicted to most hallucinogens. They don’t induce the severe, profound physical addiction that things like meth or opiates bring.

But as someone who has, I dunno, perhaps dabbled…I can understand how the desire to find those alternate states of mental being, especially for someone who never really found their place in the world, could be very habit-forming.

“Months of testing went by before the New York City medical examiner determined recently that his heart gave out from a fatal combination of ketamine, oxycodone, and 3 HO-PCP, a bespoke hallucinogen.”

Though I think it would be a stretch to really blame the hallucinogens and the dissociatives here, versus the opiate. Forrest for the trees.
That economy means we can pump out more ranged weapons than the Russians can. We could literally keep shooting missiles until they ran out of things to block them with and keep shooting until there's nothing left.

There are sanctions on the NK leadership and you have to convert them and their children into the Western way of thinking before they can even give open information to regular people.

This window of opportunity is closing rapidly, over though.

Because China has ~ 1B people and it heavily censors its media from the start. You cannot change mentality of so many people so fast.
