Curious how many boards/tickets you have in Linear. Is it ready for primetime or is it still a tool for small to medium companies?
The “laws of physics” are mathematical models (abstractions) created by humans. And those abstractions are embedded in the physical world (our brains, written text, magnetic disks etc.)

A very evocative post but I am always sad to see interesting archaeology being used to assert claims about some biblical passage being literal or historical.

There is an interesting conversation about the connection between Bronze Age Greece and the curse’s lead that’s totally missed here; I was also always under the impression that it was the more northern cities(that is, Phoenicia) had invented this particular writing system but I believe that this find eliminates that idea, no?
Our company moved to Jira from Siebel by Oracle - THAT was a true nightmare and so Jira was a huge relief to us. But yes, it was on-prem and managed by a good admin.
As a tech worker who grew up in an ex-communist, then essentially 3rd world, country, I find calling $15/hour, 0-skill-required warehouse jobs "oppression" really laughable. American poor are quite a spoiled and entitled bunch. I don't work for Amazon but I would be quite consciously proud to. Upsetting the kind of people who use "oppress" non-ironically in a similar context is just an additional small perk :P
Yes, I understood your point and I agree it's not controversial. (My response was not so much pushback as feeling a need to point out Notepad was something of a wasted opportunity, it had those fundamental advantages but wasted them by being so miserably awful IMHO).
I was looking at this tonight and I think Google lets you set up "alias emails" in the admin. So if you have multiple users for just yourself, you could collapse those into a 1 user with multiple aliases. That should help with your cost under Google.
Tilix is similar.
I guess LinusTechTips originates from a similar idea LOL
At the rate Google is going, they will be able to differentiate between the two in 20 years, if they are even willing/wanting to try.
Aperture[1] is an http 402 reverse proxy that implements the LSAT[2] protocol. It’s already used in production but not yet well known.

I’m curious to know how it could be more widely adopted. Maybe a Flask integration? Other ideas?

If I understand correctly, the problem is not so much real numbers, but real number that are not otherwise defined(integers, rational numbers, floating point numbers, etc) call them pure real numbers.

Because while it is easy to imagine there are numbers that are not defined, the minute you try define what they are... they are now defined, thus the problem/paradox, can something exist that is not defined?
Convergence usually means it takes place when something tends to infinity. So yes, if you do it an infinite number of times it does converge to 50%. But the concept of infinity itself is very abstract and is where most people tend to get caught up
Killing our entire civilization now. Now.
Seems like a lot of the argument rests on "Steady, Switchy, Sticky" being the only possible options and their probabilities adding up to 1. That may seem to be a valid assumption because those correspond to all possible values of the chance of getting heads: greater than, less than, or equal to 50%.

But what about the chance that the "koin" is actually controlled by someone malicious? The liklihood of getting heads would have nothing to do with past events; it would just depend on how much money I bet and on which outcome. A paranoid gambler might easily assume this option is on the table.

Wouldn't that break the link between "<50%, =50%, >50%" and the concepts of "Steady-ness, Switchy-ness, Sticky-ness"? If so, can you conclude anything about the behavior of the koin since the probabilities of "Steady-ness, Switchy-ness, Sticky-ness" (as concepts) no longer add up to 1?
Yeah STARTTLS is fundamentally flawed that way. That's why Google and other SMTP interchange services allow paying customers (Google Workspace) to specify policy around TLS compliance.

> you don't expect it in your OWN country

Which country apart from Papua New Guinea has the linguistic diversity comparable to India? Migrants everywhere understand the need to learn the local language. It's only the Hindi speakers, high on the delusions of national language that see this as a problem.

> Its because India was put together just like that, because the British ruled over many peoples and their languages.

Right, because India didn't have any multilingual polities before the British?
Yeah, expanding NATO everyday post 1989 was a great idea for trade?
This is true, but we don't know even more for quantum computers, because we have spent a lot less time studying quantum algorithms, so not yet having found an algorithm is much weaker evidence that the algorithm doesn't exist.
Not really, no.

Generally, for retirement, faculty try to "draw down" their labs, and there's very often a "I'm going to see X student through to their defense, and then I'm done" as the end of an academic career.

For unexpected deaths, generally there's a scramble to help cushion the students, get them in with new advisors, etc. But often, their former advisor's grants, data sets, etc. are still available. Unless one is really early in the process, the goal is to help the student finish their current work in a timely fashion.
I'm from NZ, but live in the USA. The same car-centric issue talked about in the article is common both many USA cities as well as Auckland.

The most pragmatic proposals I've seen revolve around optimizing for the most common trips, rather than trying to completely eliminate cars. Optimizing for the easiest 80%, if you will.

For most households, the easiest 80% to mode-change would look something like:
- schools within walking distance
- shops/cafes/restaurants within walking distance (either by removing euclidean zoning, or creating new, small retail zones)
- better public transport specifically targeting the most common destinations (e.g. a central business district)
- improving walking/cycling infrastructure so people aren't risking their lives when doing shorter trips

People are still going to want/need cars to go to the beach, home improvement store, etc, but that's fine, because these make up a minority of total trips taken.

Auckland is very suburban outside the center, but the older and newer suburbs have mixed use zoning which manages to support a few cafes, restaurants, shops per suburb. The middle-age suburbs are the worst for walkability. The population of NZ is increasing, and most of the cities are expected to increase in density, rather than size, which should mean more retail can be supported within a shorter distance to everyone. It remains to be seen enough mixed-use/retail zoning gets allocated in existing suburbs though.

I'm not sure how this would play out if the population was stable though. Possibly then like belval says, it would take 50-100+ years as housing stock gets rebuilt in different configurations.
Yeah, that's all just a dog and pony show. If you escalate an issue with your advisor through any of those channels, your career is toast. You might as well just quit.
Good news for you: I'm well on the way to solving the problem of better code merging. Specifically, the algorithms I am developing appear to be able to do a correct merge on both [1] and [2]. They also appear capable of merging binary data.

The tradeoff is that people need to write some code to tell the VCS about the format of each binary file type or semantics of each programming language.

The biggest problem is that, like Rust, a new VCS has to be well-executed to make its innovation stick. We'll see if I succeed.

One very specific example I'd like to see is protection for foreign students on visas in the event that they report academic misconduct - there's lots of ways they can lose their funding after that, even if there's not retaliation, and that's bad for the system.
"it's only ever going to go one way."

I have seen it go the other way as well.

No they suck. Like really really suck. JIRA is shitty, slow and unintuitive. Confluence somehow makes me hate writing any documentation (which I generally like doing).
I hate to play the Cassandra again, but the deepest hole ever drilled by anyone was 7Km (edit: 12Km), a far cry from drilling 20Km holes everywhere on the earth. I’ve worked in oil and gas for over 10 years, including on the largest rotary drilling rig in North America, and it is insane what kind of machinery it takes to get 6,000 feet down and push a tool 15,000 feet out.

Just as insane is convincing anyone that your drilling activities aren’t causing earthquakes, screwing up water tables, or leaking gas and other chemicals out of the ground.

I still hope it works lol!
Sorry but I see no argument here.

I referenced published documents, everyone is free to read, counter-argument, and even rant on.
It seems to be partitioned by account. The Jira/Confluence/Opsgenie accounts that I use have been gone since Tuesday, but it's clear that other sites/accounts are working fine.
Because if they do declare all sales final, it kills sales. Customers do not like final sale, and regularly go for sellers they trust to take care of them. Generally final sales are only acceptable to consumers on things that obviously have logistical, regulatory, or cleanliness concerns.

If return windows were shortened via legislation, it would massively advantage shadier resellers, as nobody would be able to offer better return polices to offset a higher end price.

> Are there any advantages to this? Is that the type of people this project is aimed at?
Short answer: No, quite the opposite as of its current state.

Long answer:
Even though I'm also using (neo)vim inside a tmux, there are a few caveats that I need from tmux.

The main one is while tmux is pretty much available everywhere, it's doesn't support Windows. My work machine (as provided by the company) are running on Windows and a lack of terminal multiplexer which prevented me to have the unified development environment across multiple setups from my MacBook to my Raspberry PI Zero.

Also, with one binary, you would hit 2 birds with one stone. Given that you're not doing anything fancy beside basic terminal multiplexing.
To give them to benefit of doubt, perhaps they didn't do much about it because they don't want to ban SEO sites and be accused of outright anticompetitive practices. Then they decided "AI-generated content" is a hammer that's more palatable to antitrust regulator.
In Conza, the ruins of 41 years ago coexist with an ancient Roman city, Compsa, which had been hidden under houses, cellars, and streets until bulldozers dug to remove rubble after the quake.

Not being interested in fiction is about as damaging as not being interested in sports. In other words, not at all. Phrasing it as being in a "poorer world" is just normative bullshit, implying that one group is superior and the other inferior based on a point system I never agreed to.
>What is missing in HTML5?

- Audio (while in some respect capable) is a nightmare, the interface is unstable and breaks about once a year in my experience.

- You can't do pixel-perfect rendering (People keep promising that you can - the last time I checked was a few months ago - the DOM rendering architecture is deeply wretched when it comes to pixel-access).

- No nice pipeline for integrating vector animations/art into games like there was in flash. (SVG exists, and I've used it in games myself, but it's a niche thing to do). For most engines nowadays you're baking your SVG art to sprite, but flash kinda took care of it for you - its approach to vector art+animation was great/very very powerful, and Adobe Animate allows for HTML5 animation export nowadays, but that's somewhat short of a full interactive app pipeline.

- many of the html runtimes for new engines (Unity for instance) feel waay heavier/more sluggish in the browser than flash games. Pauses during loading/weird interactions with the mouse, having to click before you can see anything is common behaviour. And often they don't perform so well as the flash runtime.

- easy to make fancy + good-looking interactive UIs. There's a reason Scaleform was so beloved for UIs even outside of the browser ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaleform_GFx ).

It's not obviously better than flash still. Flash was a very stable platform for many many years - really good with backwards compatibility (IIRC as a result of literally having secretly several copies of the runtime for different versions), and ...well, for instance Godot HTML5 builds as of last week crashes in safari for everyone it seems.

Source: I made bunch of flash games, and have made a bunch of HTML5 games, and have made a HTML5 game engine myself. And flash was just a better experience as a user for so many things (except for abuses) and as a developer. Outside of writing javascript yourself, haxe is probably the best replacement for flash (as well as being good in its own right). I have been playing with heaps this week actually and it's yeah pretty nice. But flash had a nicer pipeline.

Flash was weaker at 3d stuff, though - even back when flash was a thing I still went for Unity/hand-rolled for 3d games.
You can install Git Bash for Windows and start from there. It gives you a shell that emulates POSIX behavior (although don’t expect WSL levels of seamlessness), and is enough for simple Git usage. OpenSSH and Git and Vim all work similarly, albeit a bit janky.

But even then there are quite some SSH-related workflow stoppers in Windows, particularly when you use Git LFS. Git LFS haven’t fixed the problem where you get multiple password prompts (I usually get 4~5) just to push/pull anything. The overall workflow is painful if you’re self-hosting and avoiding using any services from Github.
We won’t know what’s true or even a reliable source anymore
We use Confluence (on-premise).

It's fine. Certainly no worse than any other wiki that just accretes content.

(Then again, we're not doing anything overly sophisticated with it, or relying on any of its features for critical workflows.)
Oh my! I think I saw that as a kid! Haha. Thank you.

"That's more of a banal aphorism then a piece of concrete actionable advice ..."

Are you kidding ?

It's the best piece of advice you'll read all year.

Go and do likewise!
> is this really more effective or smoother in terms of workflow than just using standalone neovim and tmux?
No, but this would help fill in the gap that tmux lack for some use cases. So, it would all depends on what are looking for from it.

With (neo)vim as terminal multiplexer, you would have a totally different ecosystem where you can integrate various plugins to it. Like tmux has TPM, (neo)vim would have vim-plug (or many more plugin managers) to help integrate another plugins and tailor to your setup.
I get that the science has to be done to know for sure. But I feel that for this to be a surprising revaluation to someone seems to me to indicate a lingering of the archaic notion that god created man in his image, and therefore man was different from beast.

Just strikes me as an interesting cultural current. Perhaps the real role of science is to help transition between generations of knowledge. What is todays equivalent of geocentrism? What will replace it?

It is unfortunate that popular writing on science is so hand-wavey. People get confused by that and start treating it like a religion. Surly if science has a better more objective way to see the world, it should be able to be made more plain. On the other hand maybe society needs a priest caste.

Pardon my wild tangent, I merely hope to provoke unusual thought.
I guess it's "from scratch" though! Which I applaud for educational purposes. If you wanted more or less scratch-ness there are standard libraries for dot stuffing and for handling RFC 822 header parsing which is actually obscenely complicated.

This program responds 250 OK to absolutely every command other than data which doesn't exactly make sense, so I assume it's a toy example. You don't send 250 to QUIT, for example. Nor to STARTTLS.
That's Erie.
I take it you think we should do away with workplace discrimination laws, the minimum wage and OSHA too. I for one, wish there were more thumbs in my canned chili. It's been a little bland lately.

Actually the instruments that come with Sonic Pi are created in Overtone. Sam Aaron and I were expats and best friends living in Amsterdam, and we created Overtone together. He then went on to create SonicPi, and I joined DeepMind as the first employee.
Tenured professor here:

- Promotion. Tenure is awesome, yes, but there are two full academic ranks at my institution above associate professor with tenure, and if I want them, I need to continue to do the same things that got me tenure. Graduate students, get grants, publish papers, etc.

There's also further ambitions like chair, dean, etc. that are often literally elections.

- Internal allocation of resources. Will one of my students be my department's choice for a fellowship? If there's a space crunch (there's always a space crunch) can I get the space I want? If there's internal funds to help support pilot projects or the like, am I on the short list for those?

- Reputation. This is important to me. I want it to be known that "my lab" turns out good people. And that we do good work. This is not only actually a criteria for promotion, but also something I want (I didn't go into academia for the money). It's what gets you invited to things I want to be invited to.

This also includes things like whisper networks. Students warn other students.

- Grants. A number of grants look at things like mentorship and students.
Okay, confused here. I have a G Suite Legacy Free edition account. So I have one domain, with 20 emails associated with that domain.

chad@example.com,wife@example.com, kid@example.com, dog@example.com,etc...

So am I going to pay for each email or just $6 a month for that one domain?
I experience turmoil over knowing an analytics platform I worked on went on to feed drone strikes.
that's very good, but there are some exceptions. If the article is about any health related topics, terminal illnesses, diet studies, etc., no matter how interesting, all comments shall be tangentially related personal anecdotes.
One more point in favor of Matrix/Element.
Sure, otherwise you're just solipsistic, we have to assume things exist, it's how you make progress. If you think quantum is "the real stuff that exists" then you should assume, for now, that the model actually models something, and our best guess is that it's merely probability theory.
You would expect that, damage limitation. If rolling out a fix you would want to roll it out to your smallest customers first to verify then incrementally roll it out to more/larger customers as your confidence increases. Especially if it’s anything data/db migration related as some comments hint at and the mention of possible data loss being minimum in one of their official responses suggesting something data related.

On the status updates I guess they can’t say more other than they are working on it. Saying more at this time might open them up to other issues considering a lot of businesses are run off moving Jira tickets around today.
It's kind of Schrodinger's PHI. By the time you check to see if it exists, it definitely both does and does not but not provably so either way so... there, then.
This would require revisiting a lot of things - it basically assumes that all projects can be broken down into one-year, coherent and publishable chunks. I love Masters students, but they are often not the most productive, as they rarely get to wade really deeply into a project, and almost never get to develop a project of their own.
There is a comment on LWN saying that the addition of NTRU Prime for PQC is a little premature:

https://lwn.net/Articles/890788/

> The addition of NTRU Prime for PQC is a little premature, because a new paper just came out which showed that many LWE schemes are weaker than was previously thought. The paper admits that it is not directly applicable to NTRU (which is not an LWE scheme), but it might be adaptable to it.

> > NTRU-based cryptosystems are among the leading candidates for lattice-based post-quantum cryptography. In this work, we propose improvements to the dual attack on LWE, and as such our attack is not immediately applicable to NTRU-based cryptosystems. It is an interesting question whether ideas from this work can be adapted to similar improvements to attacks on NTRU. Specifically, there appear to be similarities between the dual attack on LWE and the so-called “hybrid attack” [How07, Wun16] on NTRU. The hybrid attack also involves enumerating over parts of the secret, and then invoking some distinguisher to determine whether a resulting vector is close to a certain constant lattice. It seems reasonable to the writers of this paper that ideas similar to those presented here can be used to reduce the running time of such attacks as well, though anything definitive would of course require further research.

gitlab issues seem fine to me. some of the stuff jira does for managers isn't there i guess, but if gitlab solves the engineers problem, having to find a separate tool that can create artifacts for a manager seems like a better idea anyway, one tool per audience.
The value of a PhD is so individual and advisor-specific that it is almost meaningless to try to calculate statistics like placement from a program.

Do a PhD where you will be happy during your PhD, and also after in an industry or academc job, because you never know what the job market will be like after 5 years.

The best thing to do is to choose the path that maximises the options you care about.
