I wonder how hard it would be to adapt a plane to run on propane? You'd need to find somewhere to keep a cylindrical tank (so not the wings) and ideally you'd need a liquid-cooled engine so the coolant could heat the gas vapouriser. You'd get 115 octane fuel, and no CO / HC / NOx / SOx or other nasties in the exhaust, just CO2 and water.
But that only affects your body if you're made of money.
Learning Haskell is a mind makeover I agree. People are missing the point when they say nonsense like, "well if haskell is so great why isn't every piece of software written in it and outperforming on all possible metrics?"

That kind of lazy thinking "isn't even wrong." You learn haskell to become the kind of person who "has learned."

The ignorant imagine haskell is a promised superpower that will under-deliver "productivity gains." It's a new way of thinking and building software.
There's a difference between allowing old installations to continue existing and allowing mass manufacture of the old standard indefinitely. This legislation isn't going to touch anyone's old phones.

EXR seems like it does all of the high end pro features of JpegXL and more (including 32 bit color). JPEGXL can do some odd stuff like animated gif type images but that seems more like a web end user feature than something professionals would care about. I can see it replacing Jpeg / GIF but I don't see this becoming an industry standard anytime soon.

EndBASIC has graphics support. Not with that syntax, but hopefully similar enough. You can try things like this:

GFX_LINE 100, 100, 200, 200

GFX_RECTF 300, 300, 400, 500

Some journals make these statements mandatory; for others, not promising to share your data can be a significant obstacle to publication (e.g. reviewers may ask why the data is not being made available).
Perhaps the right thing to do is place an AGI into a simulated world and observe its behaviour over (accelerated) eons, to understand its true nature. Perhaps that’s what our creator is doing to us.

> In the modern era, why shouldn’t research colleges and journals maintain a digital database of data, design documents, and code?

Because the incentive in academia is to take a single idea that kinda works and parcel it out into as many, generally low quality, published papers as you can.

The moment you release the data somebody else can start parceling out those papers instead of you.

If it takes that much longer to encode then I am guessing it takes a lot longer to decode as well which I am going to guess makes it completely out for image sequences, film archiving, VFX work, high end photography, etc etc.
I'm not an expert, but here are a few of the things that come to mind for me:

- One conception of random is subjective: the pattern must not be predictable by a particular person/entity. E.g., the Fibonacci sequence may seem random to a person with IQ 3, but not IQ 1000.

- I think related to that is the concept of cryptographically random: [0]

- Random numbers can have different statistical distributions. You referred to uniform randomness, but depending on the application, that's not necessarily what you want. E.g., [1] Especially for statistical / Monte Carlo modeling.

- Depending on just how random you need something to be and to whom, you may or may not need specialized computing hardware. [2]

- Sometimes people kinda want random, but they also want reproducibility if necessary. Think randomly generated unit test input, or randomly generated game levels. For those applications, it's helpful to know that most software uses pseudo- -random number generators (PRNG's). If you can remember the specific number used to seed the PRNG stream, you may be able to deterministically re-execute the code at will. Alternatively, if you want to (nearly) guarantee that subsequent runs of the program aren't the same, you'll want to somehow ensure that a different seed number is used for the different program runs.

So if anything about the job opening depends on this kind of stuff, IMHO it's a great interview question.

Human Genome Project was $3B. It is especially salient because in a sense it was in competition with Superconducting Super Collider, which it won.

The fab is in Germany. In a scenario where the US and Germany are at odds Germany is the one with a fab. I doubt it weakens Germany's position unless they sacrificed funding some German chip maker, but I don't think they have anything near as huge as Intel.
See the thing is, I also love thinking about things mathematically/as relations/as recurrences. But I like the more imperative way of thinking about algorithms and data wrangling just as much.

So in practice, I'll go for a language that allows me to do both easily, instead of going for something like Haskell where any imperative way of doing things is very painful (as well as other issues, of course). So why would I use Haskell and limit myself for fairly marginal benefit?
You actually asked "That's rude. Who did that?" after commenting "Then maybe the headline should be more accurate rather than give free marketing to what some might term a monopoly."

The other interpretation of that statement, given your antagonistic first comment, is asking "Who issued the incident", as evidenced by the second half of my reply.

Journals are increasingly requesting that authors provide mandatory data availability statements. It doesn't necessarily mean that the data should be open, just that the authors have to declare if it is or not. Trouble is it's very difficult to prove a statement like "We intend to release our code and data as open source at <repository>", unless you hard-enforce that things are provided at publication time (and then you're assuming the reviewers will actually check, compile, etc.)
> This is misinformation, the USB-C connector is designed to outlast it's cables.

That's the wrong measure; outlasting cables is inadequate.

The correct measure is how long a USB-C connector lasts.

In my experience, the "tongue" in the USB-C connector gets broken in about two years. That forces me to buy a new phone, and hope that it arrives before my old phone's battery dies.

As to "you're doing it wrong" or "you're supposed to clean it every 30 insertions", it's freaking consumer connector. It should just work.

Meanwhile, I've never seen a lightning connector fail. The cords do, and they cost too much, but they're just cords.

And, yes, the lightning connector could/should be more robust.
But, as always, not beyond criticism. It commits the usual 'designer' sin of using a spindly font that seems designed only to be viewed in print or on the highest-resolution possible device, and the low contrast makes it even harder to read - and then its way of denoting links is to make them even lower contrast...? (Ironically, I find it more readable with NoScript.)

It's meant to be read in long sittings, but it heavily uses looped animations to distract the reader the entire time, and it's surprisingly hard to navigate to the next page. I don't know if it would be appropriate to bind Space/PgDwn/Right to the next page, but the link could certainly be much larger and easier to hit.

So I guess making a return to PHP web shops but just "doing your job better" and take advantage of FTE opportunities for promotions, etc. Correct?

The job in that link is a junior job. I'm pretty open to reverting to a junior W2 job, with a modest (but not too low) salary, BUT it does raise the concern of presenting myself to employers.

I already know that a lot of employers will see 10 years experience and applying to junior jobs as a big red flag. Do I just present myself with a shorter resume, with less experience? Navigating the jobs market when you're stagnating 10 YOE and "expert beginner" is a big headache.
This just adds verbosity - there's a blanket implementation of IntoIterator on Iterator so people would just learn to write

for x in y.into_iter()

and presumably curse 3836293648 who made them do this extra typing for no purpose.

It doesn't, as you seem to imply fix the parent's problem, because both the container they thought they were getting, and the Option or Result they were actually getting, implement IntoIterator so they'll call into_iter() on it.

In a safe place, like a wallet? This seems dramatic unnecessary. You can lose cash. And it’s measurable how much easier it is to lose paper money compared to a phone.

It's not micrometers vs meters, or electrons vs macro objects. It's primarily a matter of sensor density. That is, I feel my fingers move in a way that a CPU does not feel an electron move. When I speak, I experience far more than a CPU experiences writing some bits to some output ports. And so on.

Does that mean that embodiment is required? No. But your definition of "embodied" misses the point of the discussion.
To present anecdotal counter evidence: my FP class using Haskell was phenomenal. I've talked to other students who've also taken the class and they generally agree.
That press release does not name any actual laws which were violated. You might do better to link to the ruling itself[0]; it's hardly less biased than the DoJ's statement, but it is at least more specific about the charges. The government's argument was quite expansive in claiming novel exclusive powers for the federal government, but even so their success hinged on (besides a very sympathetic court and favorable jury instructions) the fact that the Liberty Dollars were not just any private currency but actual metal coins incorporating some phrases and imagery vaguely similar to official US coins. The key elements were the visual similarity for the charge of counterfeiting (they're round like most coins, and likewise silver in color, and contain design inspired by US history—though not any from actual US currency), and the constitutional prohibition on states minting metal coins, despite the fact that the defendant was a private individual and not acting on behalf of any state.

There is no particular reason to think the same issues would apply to "minting" a private currency which did not consist of metallic coins or incorporate any "patriotic" imagery.

> Seems like we already have humans for that.

Perhaps this will not always be the case.
> Why is this significant in your eyes

A few reasons.

First the company. The fact that startups have realised a future of
cash involving different hybrid physical technologies is important.
Activity in this space shows that people take cash and its unique
social properties seriously and will invest in it.

Secondly, the advance in cash technologies generally. Super thin
"smart textiles" open up a new world for cash. If you think about it
the technology that already goes into bank notes is amazing, but it's
mostly aimed at anti-counterfeit. We had a brainstorm over here to few
months ago to talk about hybrid physical cash. Ideas like using e-ink
to display the current stored value, "paper" notes that could be
debited, zero knowledge proofs to show the bearer has funds and title
while both parties remain anonymous, ways to turn GNU Taler into
hybrid cash, "contactless cash"... and much more.

Lastly, while I am not a fan of Bitcoin for environmental reasons, I
think that visible/tangible forms of cryptocurrency are an important
piece of the jigsaw in bringing widespread acceptance and usage of
next generation cryptocurrencies, because they have important social
implications for freedom and democracy.

As it is, it may not be a success (the phone verification is already a
show-stopper for me precisely because I want digital cash that works
independently of smartphones) - but first movers lay the groundwork
for the future, so I'll be watching this.
You have that backwards, at least in terms of production road cars.

You know what you will never see? A Ferrari performance-tested against another car by a TV program or newspaper or magazine publisher. They prohibit journalists from doing head-to-head comparison testing against other brands because they didn't perform that well compared to, well, everything else.

Top Gear finally got so sick of their bullshit that they very famously went public, describing all the things Ferrari would do when they delivered a car for review. This including spending days testing the car around the Top Gear test track themselves, pouring over data, adjusting everything on the car specifically for their test track. Something no other car company did, and something they would never do for an owner of a street car. I believe they also put on special, non-stock tires, but I could be wrong.

They did it because Top Gear was the one outlet they couldn't say no to such a test. So they cheated. The one time Ferrari was forced to actually submit to a performance test, they cheated.

The result? Ferrari not only stopped providing Top Gear with cars, they forbade customers from loaning or renting a car to Top Gear for test or review. Anyone found to have provided a vehicle to Top Gear would lose the right to purchase a new Ferrari for life.

Ferrari also banned Chris Harris, another famous British motoring journalist, after he also revealed that Ferrari were equipping and tuning their press cars differently than customer cars.

Ferrari also refuses to test or publish lap times at the Nurburgring:

Yes, 'ring times can be a bit silly, but like racing, they're a statement of what the manufacturer is capable of.

In the three years my spouse has had an Apple device, I've had two first-party cables fray and wear out at the connector, the lightning port get fouled up with lint and require cleaning, and I think three third-party cables stop working at all with no obvious damage.

In the same time, I've only had two usb-c cables fail on me, both third-party.

I did have three other usb-c cables destroyed by careless children breaking the usb-a side off at the charger (all three plugged into a knee-height automotive charger in the back seat area), but that's less of a failure of the cable and more a testament to that plucky Anker auto charger that's still going fine.

I really wish that the synchronized lyrics metadata was standard, and had been for years. The lack of lyric support in file formats, as well as through streaming services will always make me upset, seems like such a big thing to leave out. Subtitles are such a common thing to find with a video file (I believe there may be a law about films and subtitles in the US, so maybe that's it), but you're pretty SOL for synchronized lyrics.

Not yet. I'm tempted to add custom functions first for which the AST evaluator should be sufficient. And anyway, even though not as retro, named functions are better than a mess of numbered GOSUBS... Which means that if I even get to GOTO/GOSUB, I may try to do it in a hacky way.

Although, to be honest, in the spirit of making this a true "retro-computer", the idea of compiling the code into a custom bytecode is incredibly tempting. It'd be super fun to build, and also... that'd enable a DISASM command of some kind to dump arbitrary memory, as well as PEEK/POKE! Tons of work though.
I may be unconventional, but I prefer to think of a relational DB indexes-first; ie. the indexes _are_ the database. The tables themselves are a data source, choosing indexes (database layout) carefully to match the functional requirements.

So naturally any claim of a generic data structure that out-performs tailored indexes in _all_ cases raises an eyebrow.

The only logical answer is that the range of queries you are measuring by is substantially limited, and I would pass on investigating further.
Cheers - but can a country like Germany afford not to have a supply of its own chips in this day and age?

Its pretty equivalent to food and energy security, I'd say.

Why it isn't a major concern, I don't know.
So lets get it straight. Because Russia delivers goods to Germany, it is okey to support genocide it commits against Ukraine? This is what you want to say?

You can't be serious, or you think what you say is demonstration of decent human being who supports European values?

There is a major difference between Russia and Ukraine - willingness of Ukrainians to move toward European values while Russia is moving in other direction in light speed.

Worse, Putin Russia is financing political instability in Europe by directly funding both far right and far left parties. But not only founding but giving them propaganda support through social media manipulations.

There is another, strategical aspect that shows that we should really, really support Ukraine - its natural resources. If these fall into hands of Putin, he has even more control over Europe.

With Ukraine Europe can become a democratic economical power house and leave Fascist Russia into isolation and this is what Putin fears the most and this is why Ukraine must win.

In general you can't take the value from the box: you can't make an async computation non-async; you can't make a non-deterministic function deterministic; you can't make a possibly-failed result successful.

The await keyword might make it look like you can escape the box - but in effect a statement like "let x = await y" is just expanding the async box around y to also be around the bock containing that statement.

Since we already have a function to take a plain value to one in a box ((1) above) and a way to apply a function that turns a value from a box into another boxed value, lifting is just function composition:

box.lift(f) = box.map(val -> from(f(val)))

Probably it is a valid question, but I lost my patience a long long long time ago with the David Chalmers and Thomas Nagels of this world.

This is a really awesome project, and I really appreciate how pleasant the interface is. Wonder what it would take to parse in existing man files? It works great for all those front-end frameworks, but Linux Man Pages /are/ the most voted request, and several other suggestions provide standard formats.

Comment on the Linux Man Page request frequently focus on where to get HTML versions, or where to source the files from.

I think the answer is to parse the man pages into HTML (maybe with Pandoc) with the existing CSS/JS, not scrape existing man page web front-ends (of which this would qualify). A swath of docs could be imported by creating such an importer and collecting the "doc" outputs from functional package repositories like Guix and Nix, which tend to stick very closely to upstream; any modifications are rare, explicit, and easily removed.
Apparently the creator has been down this road before and got told off. Apparently a firm "stop using people's voices without permission" was not sufficient.

So that makes this intentional and the excuse of "I didn't know any better" no longer plays.
