Might not be so obvious to a soldier who has slept one hour a night for the past two weeks, eaten only canned corn and tuna, hasn't gotten ammo replenishment in days, and is watching this video on a tiny cracked screen with a dying battery with the volume very low as the internet connection fades in and out.

geo-ip has never returned the correct state for me (across 3 different ISPs). The automatic Timezone detection on phones also rarely works correctly here.

So I can easily believe that it’s wildly inaccurate for a significant amount of the world.
That is false. When a small utility terminates, I'm assured that any file descriptors which it opened are closed, that any memory it allocated is gone, and that it didn't touch any data structures of the adjacent programs I'm composing it with. That's a whole lot of complexity that didn't move to the next layer.

Debugging complexity is reduced also because if something causes an abnormal termination, only the containing utility will die, not the entire composition.
I wish the author would define revenue more clearly.

He himself would admit that web3 “revenues” don’t go to “Ehtereum” so much as they go to a broad set of miners.

The idea that Ethereum gas and market cap are related is one I’d like him to explore further as well. Shouldn’t that imply that in order to be successful, web3 will have to be considerably more expensive to the user then web2 (even if users have the potential to earn some of that back).
> China was not referred to as a superpower at that time, during the Cold War.

China was frequently referred to as a superpower in the late Cold War era (sometimes a regional superpower whereas the USSR and USA were global superpowers, based simply on military force projection—China was a global power by other measures—and at that a probably somewhat optimistic view of late-Cokd War Soviet capabilities.)
Just a crazy idea from a stupid engineer: can't you license all your code into a license that doesn't allow it to be used by Meta? Have some external entity own part of the copyright so Meta would need its authorization before changing the license (then you make sure such external entity will never grant such license).
Then couldn't you reframe things to include the entirety of human civilization as a kind of market, and still show that there are unexploitable inefficiencies?
I would've used something other than clips/o-rings to dampen the sound of the switches, since that generally muddies the feel of them.

I recently switched from MX Blue to Zilent 65g (https://zealpc.net/products/zilent?variant=5894817710118) on my Moonlander in preparation for bringing it to the office. It sounds like any membrane keyboard while retaining the tactile feel of a MX Blue/Brown.
A pretty interesting explanation. I had never thought of the distinction - Danish seems to have roughly the same principle as English.
YouTube can (and I believe does) serve simple audio streams for scenarios where you're only listening to music/podcasts. Try poking around a YouTube link with yt-dlp, they definitely have audio-only sources available.

Reminds me of a trip to the DPRK side of the Korean DMZ a few years back. As you close in on the DMZ the roads get narrower, then narrower, then you start to see brutalist-looking concrete sidewalls, sculptures, & overhead signs all over the place.

We all thought they were sculptures (there's a lot of brutalist concrete in the DPRK). Turns out they're tank traps! You can see a few pics at the top of this article[0], they're pretty neat.

Apparently indefinite/definite articles can be as politically charged as pronouns.
Submarines are slow, hypersonic projectiles are fast. Fast to deploy to the conflict area, fast to reach their target. Battleships went out of fashion because they were too vulnerable to submarines. Carriers will go out fashion because they're too vulnerable to hypersonic projectiles. What comes next? Maybe a fleet of destroyer- or frigate-sized drone carriers? Submarine drone carriers? Something which makes it harder to disable the task group with a few good hits.
Right now, only if you're buying 10,000 units, but hopefully will change soon!
I've tried the thumb clusters, and I just mis-hit space too often with them. I'm sure I could get used to them, but I really do prefer a wide space bar with a large target area.

Home Depot does some things right and some things so poorly I wonder if it's intentional.

Here's one I ran into just yesterday. I wanted to know the ballpark cost of a belt-driven garage door opener. So I google "home depot belt drive garage door opener". Landed on this page:
https://www.homedepot.com/b/Doors-Windows-Garage-Door-Opener...

So... where's the garage door openers? I know you carry them. No amount of modification of the search options surfaces any belt-driven garage door openers. Thinking I was crazy, I went up a category to "Garage Door Openers" and clicked the "Belt Drive" category at the top. Same result.

WTH?

I will say that the accurate listing of item location in the store has saved me hours and hours of wandering and even if I can't find the specific item I'm looking for (see above) I can look up generic garage door openers and find what aisle it's likely to be in.

The Cool Git: 5 Not So Well Known Tricks
I'm gonna have to go against the grain here and completely disagree with this. While TAOCP is lauded and celebrated as one of the best (and at the same time unread) CS books of all time, the fact that it uses an assembly language is a strong indicator that it's 'vintage'. It still has that 'universal truth' but at the same time, as you said 'is representative of the time it was written', considering MIX is picked for teaching people how to program.

The point I'm really making is that not all forms of Google Pay require the same amount of verification, so it's quite conceivable that the author of the Tweet didn't go through rigorous 2FA like the GP comment did.

Yes, I like to think about something simple like sand: You can build a sand castle with it, a glass bowl, semiconductors, a fiber optic network, or a lot of other things. What we do with resources matters a lot more than the raw materials themselves. We have made tons of improvements, but our utilization of resources is still quite wasteful, and we still have quite a bit to gain.
Would they? I'm not seeing that as necessarily true. The Unabomber seems like a good example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski

Or look at mass shooting incidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shootings_in_the_United_S...

The Las Vegas shooting was rationally planned and carried out. He managed to shoot nearly 500 people, killing 60.

They did happen to pick conventional weapons. But is that because of rational choice, or just familiarity and availability? Imagine somebody like Kaczynski, but instead of being an award-winning young mathematician, he was an award-winning industrial chemist or genomics student.

Not really, having new developments all classified is not helpful to anyone.
Pop music is about so much more than being a good singer. The hook is key, as is the content, the brand (artist), and how it's marketed. It takes a village to manufacture successful pop music. Being able to sing super well isn't required anymore, but having an army of people to assist making it popular most certainly is. The rare artist that goes viral on a shoestring quickly accumulates all the same help that other pop artists have to ensure future releases are also hits.
There's no indication it's doing this on purpose. It just looks broken and confusing. There also doesn't appear to be a way to tell it to only show exact matches. The obvious place would be the refinement sidebar, but dimensions are absent.

By your logic, engaging in weapon manufacturing is the only accepted conclusion. In fact, people that refuse to do so are participating just fine, even though you don't agree with their contribution.
What's an "entire financial account" though?

It seems like what happened is Chrome used a special backend for storing credit card info associated with your Google account, and this Google Payment product now literally just became the interface that let's you manage your credit card information that was already associated with your entire Google account across all Google products.

I think if there was "leakage" it happened some point earlier than this: the user thought they were storing an credit autocomplete in Chrome but actually they were storing credit card info associated generically with their Google account, and eg was already linked to Play Store for purchases. The fact that the spot where you go to manage the "Google account associated credit card info" is accounts.google.com or payments.google.com seems pretty irrelevant here.
Acoup's trench warfare series(?) had an excellent note re: armored vehicles. That dug-in (non-mobile) infantry was extremely difficult to dislodge (in the strategic sense, even if employed as a defense in depth tactically) but infantry out in the open was much more vulnerable.

And by definition, infantry must be out in the open as it advances; distinct from when it defends.

Consequently, the purpose of armored vehicles (tanks, APCs/IFVs, SPGs) is not to trump infantry, but to provide the minimal survivable armor for the soldiers inside to allow them to advance.

And toss firepower on there, because why not, if you've already got an engine?

So, as ugly as the fact is, the important thing is a tank's utility to survive long enough to support an advance. Not survive against all odds.
Prior to the invention of telegraph and rail Thomas Jefferson lamented the fact that transport and communication were so slow. Modes of transportation and communication hadn't changed in centuries. Technological progress had seemed to slow to a crawl. Shortly after his death, telegraph and rail were invented and technological progress boomed. Technology is constantly refined slowly for long periods of time. Then there is a new discovery and everything changes rapidly. I believe we are on the precipice of such a boom. ReBCO high temperature super conductors were invented in the 80s and reached manufacturable maturity in 2010. Anything that uses powerful electro magnets is just starting the process of being made more powerful and cheaper. This invention is why there is a sudden interest in commercial fusion. I have seen recent papers calculating upgrades to MRI that will make them more powerful, cheaper to build and run. I already feel the future of my childhood has arrived. I am very excided for the technology we will see in the next couple decades.

PS I only used Thomas Jefferson because I recently read Undaunted Courage that talked about Jefferson's lamentations of slow progress.

PPS Computer aided design could be seen as the last great technology boom. It has allowed us to build more efficient and lighter machines that were not possible before.
Which part of this is not generalizable to literally every conceivable complaint about a language whether it makes sense or not? Why would I want diversity between languages where you do have to copy-paste lots of boilerplate, and languages where you don't? If there was a good, simple-in-the-Go-way solution to this problem other than generics, feel free to suggest it, but repeating 'why care about anything ever' is just pure noise.

I don't get it. So the goal is to jumpstart a cryptocurrency, but make it equitable by giving equal shares to as many people as possible? But what happens next? I assume the same dynamics as with normal currency where the wealth is quickly concentrated in the hands of a few as most people spend their allotments on immediate needs like food and shelter.

Does the free allotment program ever stop or are you SOL if you're not yet born?

Adept – A fast language for general purpose programming
It doesnt. Modern military aircraft fly too high for MANPADs (shoulder fired ones like Stinger). You require actual air defense systems, and new ones at that. Extremely pricey, restricted and very big.

I would also argue that the advantages of tanks no longer apply when you face anything but non state backed rebels, especially in urban environment. Syria showed it rather well with the few TOWs that the US provided to the rebels.

With drones it became check mate. All they are are giant defenseless targets, just look at Azerbaijan. They are not much use for anything but crushing civilians.
Kid leagues EXIST but they are not generally (or ever?) sponsored by the pro leagues. They're municipal, or private/parent funded, or whatever.

I read this comment as kind of a dig at Ethereum - which is partially fair because I agree Ethereum is a bit sensational.

(i) "this is the sort if story that, if true, would be widely reported by mainstream media or at least mainstream media of a certain political persuasion" is a pretty good heuristic for discarding stuff that sounds plausible and really big but is only reported on the comment section of AltFreeIndyInfo.net

(ii) if you can't believe mainstream media, it's hard to search for information that might contradict $radicaltheory, never mind trust someone else's thoroughly researched and sourced one. So even if it's a pretty wild theory that lots of other stuff seems to contradict and very little seems to corroborate, how can we be sure it isn't a coverup. Scepticism about well established facts leads to agnosticism about the veracity of well-established fiction.

(iii)"if you tell people this and they laugh at you and say it's ridiculous it's because they're the credulous idiots who believe anything they read in certain sources" is a very powerful meme.

(iv) people who don't believe in certain sources still tend to want to get stuff they can believe in from somewhere, and the average website that concurs that MSM is not to be trusted and embraces the meme that its reader base are the true freethinking sceptics publishes considerably more fake news and terrible takes than the mainstream media
This is really impressive, great work!

I wonder about the "order of operations" when calculating the doppler shift though. We're seeing the back of the acretion disk over the top of the event horizon due to the light bending. However there is significant doppler shifting in the color of the acretion disk in that region. Aren't we essentially looking straight down onto the back of the acretion disk, orthogonally to the disk's plane of rotation? And as such, shouldn't we see less doppler shift in that region?

My intuition may very well be wrong, but I do like thinking about how light behaves around these things.

This guy almost certainly makes more money off his blog now than he did before "retired", so he's not a good example (although there's some good information on that site).

Proper retiring at 30 (not just "I'll keep hustling but in an unconventional way, i.e. having a popular blog" requires a lot more savings or a much more austere than people assume. And often doesn't take into consideration future medical expenses (especially in the US).

Couldn't find anything for 30 specifically, but here's for 35. Assume even higher numbers for retiring at 30:

"To retire early at 35 and live on investment income of $100,000 a year, you need to have at least $5.22 million invested on the day you leave work.
If you reduce your annual spending target to $65,000, you'll need a starting balance of about $3.25 million in a taxable investment account."

> "Because neighbor in this context literally means next to or very near another country. Open any map and you’ll se that Syria’s neighbors are Iraq and Turkey, not Sweden and Germany."

Sweden and Germany aren't next to, or "very near" to, Ukraine. Next to Ukraine are Russia, Belarus, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Poland and Turkey.

If you're fine with people from Ukraine coming to Sweden and Germany on the basis of Ukraine's geographical proximity to those countries, I'm not sure why you'd be against people from Syria coming to Sweden and Germany.

A lot of Syrians sought asylum in Greece and Italy - they're not that far from Syria after-all?

What does the EU "owe" Ukraine? Ukraine isn't a member state either, just like Syria. Does the EU also owe Georgia or Moldova anything?

I do agree that there needs to be more personal accountability, although I think the bigger issue here should be people in the finance world. Some of the fines have been quite large and do serve as a deterrent. H&M was fined 35 million EUR, which is a sizeable number even for a firm their size.

Iceberg Research Report on Lilium EVTOL
Even when it comes to philosophy I think it holds true. Up into the 1930s Bergson was regarded as one of the most important philosophers in Europe while Wittgenstein was barely mentioned outside a few, select circles, even he had already published his Tractatus. Nowadays Bergson returns blank stares when you mention his name to an Anglo audience while Wittgenstein is seen as one of the most important philosophers of the last few hundred years.
Chemical weapons above a certain level, bio weapons and nucs are all seen as weapons of mass destruction and are not really that useful tactically.

Everything I know about Sam Altman points to that he's different than the people you might associate him with. He really seems to be committed to making tech (and money) fair and equitable for everyone, and he's put out a lot of random projects with this intention. While not every idea is going to work, you should look into his writing and initiatives if you're curious.

He doesn't have all the answers, but he is doing a lot of good stuff.
It doesn't have to be improvised.

Some armies have what they call "off-route mines". They are essentially a shaped charge projector coupled with a triggering mechanism. If employed by the kind of folks who care about civilian casualties there are smarter triggering mechanism which are unlikely to be triggered by someone walking by, or even driving by in something less heavy than a tank.
