do you have a plan to modernise these parts?
Depends on how you define regular really but Turkish alphabet also doesn't map 1-to-1 with IPA sounds we can transcribe Turkish language with. Of course, this very much depends on regional accent, but overall Turkish accents are pretty consistent that they present both /c/ and /k/ sounds yet they're both transcribed as [k] since it's obvious which sound should be produced for a native speaker (depends on the vowel). Similar anomaly exists for [g] where there are palatal and velar varities.

I think the concept of language fitting an alphabet is flawed. As I mentioned in my sibling comment, although GP considers digraph usage more natural than diacritics, many alphabet designers preferred the opposite. I.e. they turned English digraphs into their own diacritics. Does this make the modified alphabet more suitable for the language? I don't know if there is an objective way to answer that. If there is, let me know. Realistically, any of the worlds' languages would be usable with any of the alphabets.
You mean the other promises get canceled? I didn't even know you could cancel promises in JavaScript.

edit: This is not accurate, Promise.all() will return when one fail, but in no way do "the other promises also fail". They are unaffected and you can wait for them again.

Except it's not, because reduced housing density is part of what makes some of those desirable spaces desirable in the first place.
So if a blockchain was leveraging a proof of stake [1] along with zero-knowledge rollups [2] for scalability/ compute you would have no arguments for it? In that hypothetical example it seems like a much better alternative to IPFS with no moral qualms.

Is this a case of politics, like science, proceeds one funeral at a time? Did the 1970s anti-nuclear people age out of the party leadership and membership so this could get revisited?
A friend and I review each other’s “in case I’m dead” documents on a ~yearly basis. He runs a small MSP (~200 clients), I run a variety of small income producing things. The point of the documents isn’t to run the business perfectly, it’s to capture the day one…thirty issues for the survivors to either shut the business(es) down cleanly, or sell off. Even a simply "if I’m dead, this is what you should do” document is incredibly helpful to your heirs or whoever administers your estate.

The reason for a solo founder to at least think about these things is, sure, if you’re dead, you’re dead. But if you have any family they will inherit the mess left behind when you die. Even if your intent is the business should die with you there’s paperwork and pissed off clients/customers. If you run a sloppy LLC or C corp (minimal paperwork to keep up the corporate veil) your family will absolutely love to learn that you’ve dumped this pile of crap on them after your death.
Huh. I came up with this independently a few years ago, and expanded it to argue that this is what is going on at the galactic level - UFOs are such a surveillance system.

It's... Fine. Very dependent on Google voice api's, no android client, and the programming API is not great.

I'm not sure what niche I could use it for. As it is it's not quite a replacement for Google assistant. For custom stuff rhasspy does a better job...

Give me the ability to store a bit of data accessable to app my nodes and an Android client and it becomes a lot more reasonable.
Zig is a programming language and toolchain, it's on the website. Uber is not only using the compiler but also the linker.
If Google stops paying and people have to manually select Google, the result would be almost identical to the current situation.

I think it's best to think the payment as a protection fee that Google pays so that Apple don't launch their own search engine and mug Google. They are already building one.
> Mozilla focuses on more abstract advantages, like privacy

Mozilla marketing focuses on that. Mozilla development still uses opt-out telemetry, experiments on users without consent and they still have Google Analytics on their websites.
the fossil industry loooooved the green hair folks fighting nuclear.

now slowly everyone finds out that with "only renewables", thus without nuclear in the mix, we simply cannot guarantee interrupt free electrical power at scale in most places.
I don't think anyone's advocating for sticking your head in the sand, there's a huge difference between not actively seeking/'keeping up to date with' the news, and not noticing deterioration in your country until there is 'deep dysfunction at all levels'.

Other people mention things, or you overhear things, you notice things, you walk past a newspaper stand, something references something, etc.

I mostly disengaged with the news (having previously been a newspaper subscriber), apart from via HN really, and yet I was still (not via HN) aware of Russia's impending (as it was at the time) invasion of Ukraine.

(And I do not live in Ukraine. I imagine it was very much more obvious there. A country in Ukraine's position - the threat of Russia on the border - is the sort of thing I mean that perhaps should make you pay more attention anyway with regard to your ex-pat vs. refugee concern. I live in the UK, and say what you want about whatever, a lot of excrement would have to hit a lot of fans before I would have any concern about becoming an ex-pat before being made a refugee. I (fortunately) do not have to read the news everyday to prevent that.)

Between 7th and 8th grade, I went to a summer camp where I learned logic and digital circuits by working hands-on with real components and building working devices out of them. Our final project was to design and construct a controller for a vending machine. Those are the sorts of things that help.

Obesity had a 1.42x multiple on severe complications and death.

The IFR for people under 50 (the vast majority of parents and guardians of school-aged children) is 0.427% [1]. If you assume the median age is 45, it drops down to 0.286%. at 35, it's 0.104%. When you factor in vaccines, these rates are reduced by >90%.

90% of these deaths come from people with co-morbidities. So you wouldn't multiply these numbers by 1.42 to get the IFR for obese people. It would be less than that. But I'll do that any way - for a worst case scenario.

Some 35 year olds might have their kids stay home because they'd have an extra 0.042% chance of dying (assuming their kid going to school means they definitely get Covid and their kid not going to school means they definitely wouldn't get Covid - which is a strange assumption). At 45, with those assumptions AND you being obese, it's about an extra 1 in 1000 chance of dying. Some people might not be willing to take that risk. A lot would gladly. If you're vaccinated - the rate is close to 1 in 90,000.

If you're 80, unvaccinated, and a 400 pound chain smoker - yeah, you definitely want to minimize your exposure as much as possible.

The reality is that you have about a 40% chance of getting Covid unless you live in a bubble. Sending your kids to school isn't even going to give you a 100% chance. So the risks of sending your kid to school are about cut in half (or less).

> And you put the 9 or 12 elements of the matrices you want to transform them by into other vector registers (or scalar registers if you're transforming everything by the same matrix) and you transform a whole bunch of points in parallel.

What if you have a 4-vector and want its dot product? x86 SIMD has that. (It’s slow on AMD but was okay for me.)

Vector instructions could add that too, because they can add whatever they want. I’m just suspicious it would actually be efficient in hardware to be worth using.

ARM is developing SVE but is allowing hardware to require only powers of 2 vector sizes IIRC, which surely limits how you can use it.

I'm sure you have your reasons, but when I see that somebody is using next.js and mdx for a blog and personal website, I can't help but think they're overthinking and over-engineering something teenagers used to do by hand in Notepad and host on Geocities.
As a simple police matter. we can track the flow of bitcoin very easily. Imagine we created a law, one is not allowed to interact with any "blacklisted/tainted" account/wallet and any account/wallet that interacts with a blacklisted/tainted account/walletn after its been marked as blacklisted/tainted is automatically blacklisted/tainted itself (easy to determine in bitcoin). I'd hazard to say, that such a policy would have a quick impact on bitcoin's valuation.

now, at first glance, this type of law might seem reasonable - if an account has been marked as doing illegal actions, any account that interacts with it is benefiting from said illegal actions.

However, this would setup a world of griefers. In bitcoin (I believe) you don't really have the ability to accept or reject transfers. if someone transfers coins to my wallet's address, it will be mine. Imagine someone who gains access to a blacklisted wallet and just transfers tiny amounts to all the addresses that contain massive sums of bitcoin, thereby tainting it all.

Well, to anecdotally back you up, in Massachusetts with the #1 public schools in the country, I hear and see nothing about football. I think I hear more about the HS plays and concerts than HS football.

The last football funding discussion at the town level was whether to fund better helmets to protect against CTE or make the players' parents pay for it, so the town isn't seen supporting/encouraging brain damage to children.
The same applies for Germany; our plants that have been shut down can, de facto, not be reactivated. The effort would be too big, and the industry lacks the experts as priorities shifted for obvious reasons.

In other news, Germany just started a partnership with Quatar to import Gas, because, you know, we don't want to support abusive regimes :-) Everything just gets more messy and distorted by the day.
The Unit 18 union has done a pretty good job across the UC in making it possible to be a temporary lecturer for a few years as a viable part of a career path. It's not a permanent job, and the costs of living have gone up quite a bit more than either the union or UC projected when the contract was last negotiated. All that said, compared to the pittances that adjuncts are paid at other Institutions, it's a lot better.
I've spent a lot of time studying parallel compute over the past few years, trying to understand how GPU-algorithms are so fast.

Use barriers. Many data-structures are safe if:

1. Everyone is reading at the same time.

2. Only one thread is writing to any particular location.

How to accomplish these two facts? Again, use barriers. Take GPU-merge path algorithm for example. (GPU Merge-path is just a parallel-implementation of the "Merge-pass" of Merge-sort, normally taking O(N) time on sequential computers):

1. All threads read their relevant values from the array, and performs a binary search along the diagonal (read-only over the data-structure). Binary search is O(lg(n))

2. Barrier, all threads wait for all other threads to be done reading.

3. Write the "merge path".

4. Barrier, wait for everyone to finish writing.

5. Everyone reads the "merge path", which is all you need to figure out the "final location" of any particular value in your merge-sort in O(lg(n)) time.

6. Everyone writes their value "magically" to the correct, sorted, position of the array. Because everyone is writing to a different array location, there's no contention or race-conditions.

Since all steps are O(lg(n)), your Merge-path algorithm executes in O(lg(n)) time where n is the data-size and parallelism factor (ex: 10,000 element array has 10,000 processors), which is possible on modern GPUs.

Bonus points: all SIMD computation is innately barrier based. That's what SIMD means after all: all simd-lanes execute the same instruction at any given time. If your processor is on a "load" instruction, everyone's reading. If the processor is on a "store" instruction, everyone is writing. (Modern GPUs are MIMD though, and require explicit "barrier" instructions and/or kernel invoke calls if the SIMD-units from other compute-units are cooperating)

Your "only" job as the programmer, is to therefore, just ensure that those writes are to all different memory locations. A difficult job for sure, but doable on a wide variety of algorithms.

------------

Very, very few GPU-algorithms use mutexes or even atomics (!!!). The "bread and butter" is thread-barriers and enabling concurrent writes (by having everyone write to different locations of memory, as well as barriers to ensure the other threads are done reading or done writing).
If Chernobyl and Fukushima are the only examples of major catastrophe they can point to, and one wasn't even directly caused by malpractice of the employees, and the last one that was malpractice was nearly 40 years ago... then I don't even know. The best I got is "they're stupid."
financial incentives.
One of the main reasons is the nuclear waste which for the purposes of the timescales of human civilization and planning are indefinitely dangerous. In the US in particular there's never been a great plan implemented to actually deal with that waste long term. It mostly just gets shuffled around to current running reactors when one shuts down.

There are many things to bring out the negativity and sarcasm for about politics, but there seem to be reasonable arguments both for and against nuclear power. That's not to say that you can't consider one argument to be obviously better than the other, but the leap to "any opposition to my side is unreasonable and deserves to be snidely made fun of" is part of what's ruining politics.
I think the implicit point made by GP is to question what the purpose of database calls are to deliver a blog post. If the post were just some HTML and CSS, it should be able to be served with very little processing power. It's unlikely that dynamic template population is needed for blog posts.
What I believe your saying is the price of bread in terms of gold was standard for centuries. Does that relationship still hold?

The thing is that money doesn’t matter. It’s just a unit for the transactions does in the short term. The relationship of real things, like bread and gold, matter.

Played one of those in school (MarkStrat or something like that). The TA was unhappy because we were doing very well based in no small part on a large sales force. But we elected to do a fast follower strategy on a new product--but no one else really had the money to do upfront R&D so we were sort of "expected" to take the hit to make the simulation proceed as planned.

I think it will never be removed. All code using threads in python are using the GIL to hide their blushes and as soon you remove the GIL I don't think there's any reason to believe threaded code in python will continue to work as race conditions are exposed.

The only option, imo, is to make multiple GIL pools and use actors or message passing to work around this. However, this means the super cheap FFI that Python enjoys will be mitigated as it has to find a solution like go (stack swapping), or react (bridge to underlying platfom).
Okay, so what's the best way to image an SD card then? I use the following on a 64gb SD card -- is there a better way?

Not at all. It doesn't imply either.
Isolate the things that grow nonstop, and remove necessary items from isolation when they can be organized appropriately.

Not just aging out, idealism as a political motive is essentially dead, because it's a luxury that can't be afforded anymore.

I’d like to understand more about the perception that the Economist is a liberal publication. I’ve heard this before and it’s hard for me to reconcile this view with the articles I read. In my opinion, the economist more often than not errs on the side of being comprehensive and including facts that may or may not be relevant. Some of those facts may point to liberal conclusions, sometimes not.

I also know that they’ve taken a strong conservative stance on gender-specific sports. If they were “unabashedly biased” that would not fly.
You should read the full post or watch the video, even the TLDR at the top of the blog post would have clarified exactly what is the scope in which Uber is using Zig.

As to whether that's enough to justify for making a fuss about it, it's up to you, but you can't do that analysis if you stop at the title.

On top of all of that, the blog post and talk are about the journey that the author went trough to bring an unproven technology into their company and I think it deserves to be appreciated in a more nuanced way than a logo on a web page.
That's not an inference you should draw. I've known many people who have serially started companies. Starting a new company doesn't mean that the earlier companies failed or that the founder stayed at those earlier companies instead of selling them or hiring someone to manage them.
Why attack sex workers though? Good humour punches upwards.
Why are you implying that natural disasters don't "count"? That's not a very pragmatic stance. If an earthquake has drastically different effects on two different power sources, than that is one difference you must consider.

In my opinion, "staying informed" is a high-brow excuse for a low-brow activity.

Unless you're actually using the information you're getting for something positive, you're probably just feeding the irrational tribal us-versus-them part of your brain. A lot of smart people convince themselves they're doing something other than this, but they're usually not.
Privacy might be a human right, but profit is a company’s duty. Corporations have no morals if they impact the bottom line. And since no one will stop buying iPhones because Google pays Apple to be the default search engine, this is not a stance Apple needs to change - in their eyes.
> At the same time there might be a very serious one as quite a few kids basically have missed proper school for about 2 years. Let's not even try to pretend that lockdowns have no negative effects at all.

I'm not saying there are no negative effects. What I would say is this: even before the pandemic, many students were not sufficiently "challenged". They were already moving more slowly than they could have moved. It's possible for them to catch up. They could have caught up with other kids before the pandemic too, if put in the right situation.

Time spent sitting in seats is not education, by itself. How that time is used is just as important, and we often squander that time, even when there's not a public health crisis.
Indeed, at least up to some temperature threshold. Personally, I start to struggle around 30-35 degrees C if the humidity is "tropical", and prefer an air conditioned room (or a pool/beach).
