I used to run in
Brooks Adrenaline, then they seemed to change and not work so well for me. So I tried Asics GT 2000 (also a short shoe) and found them better until they stiffened them up in one revision so I moved to GT 1000 though I'm thinking of trying other things as recent models seem to lose all cushioning sooner. When I first got into trail running I used ASICS models but they started either upsetting my heal or falling apart in the upper, so my main trail pairs are Hoka (along with a hybrid I'm experimenting with).

The struggle is real.

While part of it might be that my body and running style have changed slightly over time, most of it is that shoes change regularly. I experienced a first recently thought: my feet actually significantly prefer the newer SpeedGoat design to the previous revision (though I fear the heal design might encourage more little stones & bits into the shoe, it is more comfortable for me). Just watch them revert those changes, so in future when I need to replace this design will be hard or impossible to find at a good price...

Amusingly the PoW as we know it in cryptocurrency came from attempts to combat email spam with HashCash, it's clearly referenced in the Bitcoin whitepaper as a precursor.
I can't compare to Scala, but unless you know you need an API for a web frontend then I would take a look at tRPC or other "zero API" systems (Blitz is another one, but I'm a little unclear on where they are in their pivot).

It's a little hard to describe how magical it feels to actually use. It completely removes needing to think about an API. You don't think about endpoints, about (de)serialization, about the mechanics of fetching, or how arguments are passed. You just call you functions by name from the front-end. All your types are preserved so that if you change the signature of your backend function Typescript will catch it everywhere on front-end. If you use react-hook-form then you can export the zod validators that you wrote for the backend and import them to the frontend, and now your client-side code is using the exact same validator as your backend does. Change your server side validation and now your client-side form won't compile and you'll know exactly why.

Honestly it feels like the missing link in fullstack dev to me. Typescript brought the types and the compiler, and tRPC makes it feel like your entire back and front-end are one system.

Interestingly, I've never heard of cfDNA fragmentomics:

>> Well, initially, the main motivation for studying a cell-free DNA analysis is to look for species of DNA that might have been released from various organs that might be useful for doing diagnostics on them. So, for example, we have analyzed DNA that came from the placenta for prenatal diagnosis. We’ve analyzed DNA release from tumors for cancer assessment, but we need to somehow distinguish these molecules of interest with the molecules that are just floating around in the background that might not be from a diseased organ or the organ of interest. So previously, when the field first started, we tried to use genetic differences. For example, for tumor, we might be looking for mutations that were present in the tumor genome and use those features to distinguish the tumor DNA from the non-tumor DNA. But then, as time went on, we realized that those DNA of interest, they typically are shorter. For example, the DNA from placenta or tumor cells, they are shorter than the background DNA that we are not as much interested in. Then, when we looked into why these DNA molecules are shorter, then we found out that the fragmentation process is actually non-random. From this point onwards, people started as, why is it not random and how does the cell control which part of genome becomes fragmented and how can we make use of these fragmented features? And very soon, I mean, it became a field and the studies—the number of studies just exploded.

In a real free market / local democracy, someone would cater to the niche and everyone can have their own thing. When it's not happening, it's a sign that the free market is being suppressed, culturally if not legally. Either Harbinger households are not willing to to pay extra 10% for what they really want, or market is controlled by trillion dollar companies with billion dollar CEOs who put their egos above extra profits that will not make a difference in their lives.
It's somewhere in between. You definitely need to enable features that are normally out-of-reach of regular users (i.e. user namespaces, network namespace, unprivileged ping, etc.) However it's still a far cry from full root access, and arguably a smaller surface area than regular run-everything-as-root mode.

I think it’s important to draw a distinction here. Whilst America’s war of aggression was in no real way justifiable, Russia is on an entire another level. The Russians rape, loot and pillage with either impunity or active support from their military. We only recently got reports that they executed journalists when they entered certain cities earlier in the war, and have seen a number of cases of Ukrainian children being raped and killed by Russian soldiers.
The uk (at least at the moment) has no federal ID card a bit like the US. Much like in the US it’s a point of contention when voter ID requirements are being mooted. That being said they managed to roll out a vaccine passport pretty easily.
> Good PMs are a bit of a paradox. They are immensely impactful and bring value to every project they touch. Yet they are also far overqualified for what is often a thankless job.

In 2013 I went to a project management conference. I'd realised that as a developer I was stepping into this role frequently as I worked at a small agency, and I enjoyed stopping projects becoming disorganised messes.

Talking to PMs about what being a proper PM entailed, I heard too many say "if the project goes well someone else will take the credit, but if it goes badly for any reason you'll take the blame. And you don't have power, you can only ask up/down the organisation while at the mercy of politics".

So I decided "no thanks" and stayed a developer.
Perhaps it should reflect the value they receive, they're there to make a profit. It might be better to ask whether they would receive even greater value if they put in more, and I believe they would, but perhaps they've done the maths and think differently.

Beyond the "cringe" factor mentioned, I have long found Disney a cretinous org.

Your suggested alternative increases e-waste unless one specifically hunts for secondhand chips.
Well, it's more like individual curation vs corporate curation. It's not necessarily good for discoverability, but with filters like "remove top 1k sites" it can be.
It would because people would become very aware of the energy sinks and its cost :)

Some city noticed changes in consumption when new houses had meter installed on ground floor rather than in the basement.
This might seem out of proportion. OTOH this contextual information makes the motivation to create this tool a lot more transparent, imho of course.
Uh. Paper records of measurements made to unspecified procedures are unimpeachable, while physical records available for laboratory inspection are not?

From that somewhat unusual assessment of source data, he arrives at somewhat unusual conclusions.
It's been on my mind now that Discord servers are close to the BBSes of old. They are also closed communities and members get to know each other instead of shooting messages into the void. They don't quite have the charm and culture, possibly because they exist in the context of social media as a whole. But they have a lot of similarities. Even command-line text games, the revival of which really amuses me.

Message boards/forums certainly have that community culture but sadly they're on the way out. Subreddits of a certain size do also but they're fragile... they're subject to takeover by bad actors and if they become successful enough to grow larger the culture is diluted and/or replaced.
That reminds me of a thread I saw on an Internet forum a few years ago about some guy suggesting powering his fridge with a bicycle during a power outage. Turns out this is an extremely complicated problem which is probably best solved by ignoring it.
> The reason governments create inflation is to keep population poor and control them I guess?

When I listened to the interview I didn't hear him say that.

My view on this: governments simply cannot help increasing debt to spend more on whatever purpose they deem right at a certain time. It's simply the easiest way (least opposition from voters) for them to enact their programmes. The only other option (cutting other spending to increase spending on what's current high priority) doesn't get them reelected.

> Putting aside the weird trash-talking of status quo economists ...

Yeah, I admit he does too much of that, not optimal. But that doesn't mean the message is wrong.

> He says people will buy stuff regardless.

You won't? If your car breaks down, you won't let it get fixed right now but next month because it's cheaper? If you're hungry today you'll wait till next week to buy food because it costs 0,005 % less? You'll wait 10 years to fly to Fiji because it'll be cheaper? Oh wow, you must be a special person then.

> If know I can use the same money to buy two cars next year instead of buying a car this year, I will not buy a car this year.

You sure? You just watch everybody drive around? Besides: same money, next year worth 2x is dramatically exaggerated. What are typical gains of efficiency through technological advances? Maybe 5 % per year? I say you're putting up a strawman here. With 5 % deflation you'll have 2x the buying power in ~ 14 years .. you're going to wait this long?

> He seems to say I will.

Nope, as I understood what he says, he just says it somewhat shifts time preference.
As is clear from internal documents, the Wikimedia Foundation had hoped to have more customers than Google on board by now:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wikimed...

"Although we successfully closed an initial set of paying customers for Wikimedia Enterprise at the end of the last calendar year, and have continued to have ongoing sales conversations with additional potential customers, we have been unable to close additional customers as quickly as we projected due to unanticipated legal and product requirements, and will not hit the revenue target for FY21/22."

As it stands, they are barely breaking even, but then it is early days, and Wikimedia certainly aren't in need of the extra revenue.

In its 2020/2021 (July 2020 – June 2021) financial year, the Foundation grew its endowment by about $40 million and its assets by over $50 million, for a combined surplus of around $90 million.

The 2021/2022 year seems to be headed for a similar surplus again: assets had already grown by over $50 million after the first three quarters, with fundraising targets exceeded and spending lower than budgeted.

A dude did that, it didn't last long, but I'm still thinking about opening one. Just to avoid the double madness of powering lights and devices so people spend energy in the air :)

Even if you don't generate much, at least your biomechanical efforts are used somewhere.
I can see how the iterations control can be not obvious. I'll add a docs section that explains it. The two columns of radio buttons represent your selection for the left and right side of the diff. You can also click on any iteration to diff it against the base.

I've made a couple notes based on this to help me prioritize next. Thanks for taking the time to provide all this amazing feedback!
Does this mean it’ll be faster?
To illustrate that even more vividly: if a typical lightning bolt is a few km long, the energy released is equivalent to detonating a stream of gasoline roughly 0.1mm in diameter (not much thicker than a human hair).
doh, somehow I missed "one for the controller" part. Sorry.
I've had the displeasure of re-implementing some awful systems written in a no-code platform.

If you're using low-code, you're still writing software, and good software is more than a bunch of if statements and function calls, it's a well-considered and understandable architecture too (or it should be)

Low-code makes it easy for non-programmers to write systems, but there's no reason you would expect these non-programmers to understand how to architect these sytems well. This (IMO) is why systems written in low-code tools often become unmaintainable piles of mush.
You still need to manage some amount (possibly smaller than right now) of ssh keys because if not then you are totally reliant on tailscale being up all the time or you can't access your infrastructure of they have an outage.
That's cheery picking the data though. NYC lost power for two days in 2003, just like everyone else who doesn't pay those high rates.

Argh.
Thank you.
While software development in general is fun and continuously challenging there's a very special excitement to looking at what you're actually doing and going "holy shit, we make games!". I've had those moments when I'm in a meeting discussing design details and considerations when suddenly it just strikes me that we're sitting there discussing how to make a game more fun and that's part of our job.

I'm also really happy when people ask me what I do for a living and I can link a flashy trailer instead of trying to describe some web backend thing for a service they never heard about.

edit: probably the biggest advantage in game development is the unique atmosphere brought about by the shared deep passion for games throughout the company.
I have. Either way, how would that make any of the stuff they've done OK?

Employers should ban those providing them with this info. It is these people that are and should be controversial. If your company is connected to them and uses their services, it should be made public. Behavior will change yesterday. Imagine you are connected to people cancelling other on internet rumors you cannot verify. You can search for a new country immediately and especially the professional world would not want to associate with you. Applying the same rules would do quite a bit although companies above a certain size only care for certain types of reputational costs.

> According to the Grape-Nuts website, Grape-Nuts "actually contains neither grapes nor nuts". The name may have come from the cereal's resemblance to grape seeds, or from its nutty flavor; C. W. Post may also have intended it to refer to its content of glucose, which Post called "grape sugar."

Isn't JavaScript also easy to learn? There are many people who have learned to use it for web development in a coding bootcamp or something and don't know much else about programming.
It's kind of funny to me that this stuff happens. You can dress it up however you want, but it's fundamentally just putting these PE groups in an unethical position. You can't with a straight face say that you're getting the best price for both the investors you're selling it from and the investors you're buying it for. Firstly, there is no way you can correctly value these companies when you're selling them between your own funds. Just laying aside the mechanisms of how this is done, anyone investing in those groups should be taking a long hard look at whether you want people this unethical to manage your money.

And of course that doesn't even start to consider the fact that by doing this the PE companies get to mark their own homework, fraudulently pumping valuations by self-dealing safe in the knowledge their valuations don't need to be tested against the public markets.

This just seems like the exact same sort of absurd regulatory loophole that saw SPACS explode and then implode over 18 months. The fact that these firms have been forced to start chasing this style of innovation is not a good sign for the core business.

The whole idea of “learn once, write everywhere”, React being the #1 used web framework and the sheer amount of React developers out there is something that Flutter will likely never overcome.

If you’re starting a project tomorrow, you can easily find 100 developers with years of React experience, where there are barely any experienced Flutter devs.

At that point, might as well go completely native.
Yes, touch is indeed crap. I used a Bluetooth keyboard and USB C monitor. For mouse, I used the deck's right trackpad.
I think comparing it to C isn't fair.

The incumbent is not C, it is JavaScript. Initially JavaScript was also simply run on an interpreter. And it wasn't particularly fast until it got considerable attention by Google & Co, and browsers competing for "who can run this silly JavaScript benchmark the fastest".

Then complaining about how more abstract languages like Python are inefficient compared to C is not fair. These calls to range and Exception handlers are there on purpose, to help the developer avoid writing boilerplate code for the millionth time, and focusing on the problem itself, writing cool things.

C would be a terrible language for the Web I would argue. Web "development" was never a thing for the greybeards and "I dream in assembler"-types (not that I want to exclude anyone, I mean it didn't attract that crowd and another instead).
Any challenger for JavaScript must be approachable, easy to understand, easy to write and read. Easy to fix and modify (most "Web Apps" are already obsolete the moment they hit deployment).

Heck, why not go full x86 instructions? Hm, then there are millions of iPhones and Androids on the Web that are not x86... Write our own Assembler?! Let's call it WebAssembly!

No I don't think so and in fact rootless containers can be slower due to user-level networking and overlay storage, but the goal is more isolation and security.
I use to play a game called the 4th coming. Once saw one player dropping items on the ground for another player. I quickly picked up the items and then sold them back to them.

I'm not sure about D's situation specifically, but one issue with null ptr dereferences in C, C++, and (unsafe) Rust is that they're UB by definition, so you're at the mercy of the optimizer if it can ever prove that you're dereferencing null. This has led to some interesting security issues in the past: https://lwn.net/Articles/342330/
