agreed. I started bookmarking a specific open source repo and automechanic wiki and I’m slowly conditioning myself to read those if I want to waste time on my phone. I enjoy reading them anyway as much (or a lot more) than Reddit or w/e, just needed to make it habitual bc I didn’t think about going to those as a first stop to get lost in. Def helps and returns the joy of having internet access, lot of cool stuff to learn.
Somebody implemented part of it in the past, but it was based on the ability to observe the order of execution of comptime blocks, which is going to be removed from the language (probably already is).

https://github.com/DutchGhost/zorrow

It's not a complete solution, among other things, because it only works if you use it to access variables, as the language has no way of forcing you.
The reason I ask with writers in particular is because, like code, having access to it necessarily means that the viewer has the ability to copy it as much as they'd like. Unlike software, however, there is no ability to keep the source code private in a book while still having users.

I definitely agree that copyright protections have become far too strong but I don't think we can really ever know if we would have be able to build the strong open source community we have today without coopting the copyright system for copyleft protections. At the same time, perhaps we are past the point where it's necessary and now it's holding us back... it's entirely possible!

To the first thought, I personally see some coding as a creative act (some is doing _a lot_ of work there though). It's not because I fancy myself a Picasso but because I think some (again, doing a lot of work!) solutions/ideas have a bit of their creator in them and, for those works, the author should be able to exert some control over their works. I think this is more philosophical than legal/political, but I would disagree that its flippant :)
(December 19, 2020) "The consensus view of an international panel of 12 scientists calls for the new cycle, Solar Cycle 25, to be small to average, much like its predecessor, Solar Cycle 24.

But a prominent astrophysicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Scott McIntosh, foresees the sun going gangbusters. The cycle is already off to a fast start, coinciding with the recent publication of McIntosh’s paper in Solar Physics. The study, with contributions from several of his colleagues, forecasts the nascent sunspot cycle to become one of the strongest ever recorded."

I LOVED my 11" Air, bought one in 2010, used it daily as my only laptop until 2017, gave it to my son who used it until he graduated in 2019. I replaced it with a 13" MBP which I also really like. MBP died a cat-related falling off the table tragedy recently so I pulled out the Air and was shocked--in 12ish years, my eyes no longer think its tiny screen is reasonably viewable. I wish they'd make another 11" with a retina display, but I guess Apple knows best, I replaced the 13" MBP with another 13" MBP, an M1 this time.
I think it highlights why we put age restrictions on things like this. A developing brain is far more likely to fall into this trap than and already functioning adult brain.
In case you didn't know you can now get free access to all the service manuals via https://service.tesla.com. I'm guessing it was a recent development to try and stave off such a suit.
There's absolutely value in being able to partially generate (maybe just the nodes/edges, but without final layout), or possibly even just validate that a given diagram does actually match a given schema/definition, without necessarily solving the extremely hard problem of a good looking auto-layout.

I've dabbled in the past with trying to do auto-layout of new items while preserving explicit changes by hacking at some of the Cytoscape.js layout providers to heavily penalise moves to manually positioned nodes, but I've never managed to make anything close to what I'd call acceptable for general use.

If you’re going to “fix” the hash algorithm, do it properly!

Sha256 can only be computed in a single sequential stream (thread) by definition.

For large files this is increasingly becoming a performance limitation.

A Merkle tree based on SHA512 would have significant benefits.

SHA512 is faster than SHA256 on modern CPUs because processes 64 bits per internal register instead of 32 bits.

A tree-structured hash can be parallelised across all cores.

For repositories with files over 100MB in them on an SSD this would make a noticeable difference…

I use Slack as my bookmark manager ;) Have my own personal Slack workspace where I have various channels for certain types of bookmarks(coding/emacs/history,etc). On my Debian box at home I have weechat with the weeslack plugin where my weechat instance runs in a tmux session 24X7 and I log everything locally to disk. That way I can just open up the Slack log for a given channel to find a specific bookmark in Emacs via search/regex search. Have Slack clients at work, mobile, and home, so it seems to work pretty good for me.
You are correct and I thank you for the correction. The grand total miscalculates and mislead me. Also, wow, air travel is stunningly carbon expensive.

Amazing that cell walls are strong enough to maintain integrity at that size!
Solar irradiance variations amount to a bit less than 0.1% over the solar cycle. It used to be thought solar-cycle variations (the 11-year period) could be a significant contributor to climate change.

This turned out not to be the case...that was pretty much known by the early 2000s.

Other irradiance variations, due to orbital variations called Milankovich cycles, happening in the 10,000's of year range, do appear to influence climate. Of course, the extremes we're seeing now are not on the 10,000-year time scale.
Maybe you can pull off security guard and software development at the same time!
It's something I always joked about doing - but that was before everyone and their dog became remote.

Not sure what I have installed/sourced, but "_<tab>" says there are 381 possibilities for me. (This is with bash.)

Also in the article itself, the author argues against any prefix char that requires using the shift key.

I do something a bit special... Instead of naming my script foobarnator (and hence risking that another foobarnator may exist in the future and may clash with my script), I name my script foobarnatorToBeAliased.sh. Then in my list of aliases I alias foobarnator to foobarnatorToBeAliased.sh.

The alias itself looks a bit weird in that to pass arguments to an aliased command you need to use a function (in Bash at least AFACIT) but it all works fine.

As aliases aren't sourced when other scripts are running, I'm sure my scripts/commands ain't ever going to clash with anything.

I've been doing that since years.

It also works fine to add "wrappers" to existing commands: for example to add additional input sanitization catching common mistakes I'm making when calling some commands.
I don't know anything about Rust, but I've heard about fighting the borrow checker.

I wonder - doesn't that mean that either the borrow checker is a bit shit, OR you're systematically doing something wrong and don't realize it?
No, it doesn't. It just proves the whole point is meaningless. There are successes and failures in both weed users and non-weed users, so you can't use that as a variable for anything.

Interepting it that way just always casts judgement on the user.
FWIW I think the "church and state" analogy is genius, it totally resonated with me. I'm going to steal that!
It depends on the startup. If it hasn't been going through a period of hyper-growth and has a solid business plan that can withstand an economic downturn, potentially.
You're assuming that the two content children work at Taco Bell. For all you know they could have a (to whatever degree) higher-paying job doing literally anything else yet still be content with where they're at.
Yea that's my mistake, but not really the point I was trying to make.
Exponential forever growth in startups was false.
But the training is the thing that would make it suitable.

Normally you do this on embedded so that you know exactly what your memory consumption is. You never have to worry about Out of Memory and you never have to worry about Use After Free since there is no free. That memory is yours for eternity and what you do with it is up to you.

It doesn't, however, prevent you from accidentally scribbling over your own memory (buffer overflow, for example) or from scribbling over someone else's memory.

For all the article's talk about military supply businesses closing down when the government isn't regularly buying enough, it fails to mention the long history of government-owned, government-operated armories and arsenals. Most major nations developed, maintained, and operated those, for centuries. Because staying ready to produce arms and ammunition - at scale, when needed - was always a poor fit for private industry.

EDIT: Add one simple example - "The Springfield Armory, more formally known as the United States Armory and Arsenal at Springfield located in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts, was the primary center for the manufacture of United States military firearms from 1777 until its closing in 1968. It was the first federal armory and one of the first factories in the United States dedicated to the manufacture of weapons." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Armory )
> Luckily for the US, its gun culture ensured that small arms ammunition industry has a civilian component in the US. This is not the case with other types of ammunition, as shown earlier with Javelin and Stinger missiles

I am trying to keep an open mind and see where this person is coming from, but I don't think "Luckily" is the right word to use. If I was feeling particularly charitable I would call it a "Mixed bag".

It's a bit ridiculous, but imagine for a second if Javelin and Stinger missiles did have a civilian component.

> If competition between autocracies and democracies has really entered a military phase, then the arsenal of democracy must radically improve its approach to the production of materiel in wartime

That is one option, there are others. We could, for example, decide to take preventive economical measures against autocracies, and thus preventing them from capital they could use to build their own arsenal. Everyone having smaller arsenals is good for everyone (except the Military Industrial complex, of course).
I would imagine their threat model pretty much assumes anyone can do anything on that host :-)

This article makes some incredible leaps. Marijuana addiction is an under-recognized problem, but the implication that a kid killed himself because he had a weed addiction is incredibly misleading.

> After several stays at mental hospitals, the doctors determined that Johnny had a severe case of THC abuse, Ms. Stack said. He was prescribed an anti-psychotic medication, which helped — but then he stopped taking it. In 2019, Johnny died after jumping from a six-story building. He was 19. A few days before his death, Ms. Stack said, Johnny had apologized to her, saying that weed had ruined his mind and his life, adding, “I’m sorry, and I love you.”
> The only exception for me would be for something that changes frequently where any diagram made by hand would go out of date quickly or be burdensome to maintain (not that diagrams usually get maintained...)

There's no power behind any of these ideas. Anything business related has the power of capital behind it, even the regulations and standards - some of the admittedly good - are the basic requirements of a taming a market to make it functional. Without a shared demos then there is no democratic mandate for them either.

The massive tragedy of the EU is that they have spent 20 years or more dealing with the inbuilt contradictions of their single currency and self-imposed restrictions of their monetary policy. All of which has the effect of constraining public spending. When the 20 years could have been spent on a serious move to a green economy. It was culturally, socially and economically (having a tradition of social democracy which requires public spending) the place where this could have really taken off. Yet navel gazing, and now paying the geo-political price.
It's all about the runway. If they have raised enough money recently, say, series A or B, and have a solid plan, why not.

Nowadays, startups either grow or die. With enough money in the bank, you are looking at maybe 18 months of work.

I highly recommend it, even for this use case. It takes a bit to get used to in how it works and setting so that it works well for your given workflow. For example, I'm a latex user so I had to add extensions to zotero so it can output to bibtex. But again, it wasn't that bad. Once its set up and you used it a few times, it easy and super useful.

I use it not only for web bookmarks, but as my main 'library' for all my documents. Even random scanned docs or even funny gifs I will store in zotero because I can tag them and put in notes so they are easy to find later.

There's not much in the way of buildings that humans can build tall with hand tools and preindustrial materials that last thousands of years but stone pyramids.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Tolkien's cosmology is clear that, by the time of The Lord of the Rings, elves are not able to live outside Valinor. If they leave the protected enclaves created by the rings of power (Elrond maintains Rivendell by using Vilya; Galadriel maintains Lothlorien by using Nenya), they will be overcome by ennui and "die".[1]

Elves do not physically die, but they will enter comas and their souls will appear in the house of one of the Valar. The Silmarillion records this happening to one elf whose comatose body is maintained (but unresponsive) while their soul can be visited and conversed with.

[1] This fails to explain how the Mirkwood elves can live there. But the answer appears to be that they can't, since they leave along with the other elves.
Oh that actually makes a lot of sense, I guess I just couldn't understand that out of context.
You can find the scope of the GDPR in Article 3 of the GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/

you can, but the beamforming aspect doesn't 'narrow' the broadcast in any meaningful way- the term has more to do with tuning the signal (in software) to an arbitrary location in space than its name might imply (not at all like laser beams)

each individual antenna radiates whatever 'shape' of signal based on its physical design, and beamforming is what we call it when multiple antennas reaching the same general area micromanage the phase of each broadcast so as to constructively interfere at a specific target in that area (at the expense of a generally muddier signal elsewhere)

so beamforming is cool because it can give you a few dB of extra signal entirely in software, but a proper directional (high-gain) antenna will get you tens of dB, the downside is that it must be physically aimed

as far as i understand the state of the art: if you want a 'narrower' signal, you pretty much need to use a 'more directional' physical antenna design
