> Temperature is monotonically related to energy content. A warmer system has more energy than a colder one, all else being equal.

In equilibrium, the temperature of the water is directly related to the energy content, with the heat capacity being the conversion factor.

But under the thermodynamic definition, the temperature of the system depends not only on its energy but also on its entropy. And one of the points the article is making is that even when we know the total amount of energy entering or leaving the system, its entropy may not be nearly so easy to measure or calculate when its state is far from equilibrium.
We have a picture of the s100 backplane here:

The simple answer is that the cool system has a very uniform temperature (because it's been at that temperature for a long time), while the hot system that's cooling down is doing so with large spatial variations of temperature. In other words, all the water in the initially cool system is at 10°C, but the initially hot system has pockets of 5°C and pockets of 15°C.

It doesn't have to "learn" anything in order for there to be a substantial difference.
Why would you think that this data captures the nr of Clojure jobs?

I don't know many Clojure devs who found their job looking for a Clojure dev job ad. Even the yearly state of Clojure survey has ~2400 responses.
Standard C provides only a few ways to obtain valid pointers. implementations can define behaviors in cases that the standard leaves undefined, such as allowing more cases of casts of integers to pointers than the standard defines (common in embedded-land), or functions like mmap or sbrk. so you or your chip vendor could define FOO_REG as (uint32_t )0x80001234 and use it as if it were a variable.

Olde C used to just let you use integers as struct pointers, and there was only one struct member namespace. so code like this was valid and did an integer-size write to address 0177770. old unix did this for device register access; see the lions book.

struct {
int integ;
};

f()
{
0177770->integ = 012345;
}

If auth isn't your job and isn't your core competency

I'd argue, it sort of is a core part of any web dev's job and any who neglect diving into it do so at their own risk. Maybe I come from a different time or place than what's the contemporary norm, though I'm okay with that. The main issue I have is with company-sponsored blogs and comments that will just blanket state you should never roll your own auth (because you can pay us instead, oh and btw, we rolled our own auth so you don't have to).
Yeah! We lick boots around here and we've grown to love it! Don't question the dead children, just keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Subreddits with ideal names got an early advantage which helps boost the subscriber count, especially because reddit's search has always been terrible. Like I said, discoverability is tricky and not every subreddit that tries to fork off from a popular one is successful, but if people think that /r/india is more "official" than /r/india2 or even /r/india4204eva it's because they don't understand how reddit works.

The closest thing reddit had to official public subreddits were the defaults. For just about everything else it was 'first come first serve' to get a good subreddit name and then you're still at the whims of the current moderation team. People have the option to take over subreddits and change the culture through mod replacement, convincing the admins to give it them, or by brigading.

I think reddit could do a better job letting people know that the subreddits with the most obvious name aren't necessarily the most active, the most fairly moderated, or the highest quality. Even better, I think they should go back to having defaults and letting the community choose who gets them with a means to vote to put them under new management so that people can put more faith in a documented subset of subreddit names.

> Btw, I have seen similar experiments in really cold climates, where a cup of hot water thrown freezes immediately, but cold water does not.

IIRC this is because the surface tension of hot water is significantly lower, so the thrown hot water disintegrates into much smaller droplets, which freeze more quickly.

10 hours isn't too bad when dealing with a giant organization. Often problems cut across teams and services, and troubleshooting then liaising and ultimately getting a remediation action through (which might involve producing, testing and releasing a patch) all takes up time. Sometimes things blow out to weeks!

Personally, my last AWS Support ticket was pertaining to Lambdas and I got a very good answer. I was impressed.

It's important I think to appreciate working in support is difficult work, every single day is a customer with their own urgent problem. When urgency is the norm, it's not urgent. And heart? It can be soul sucking work.

In my observation support takes the brunt of the rest of the orgs shortcomings, bad releases, deprecated features, etc, drive customers towards you in unfortunate circumstances. Sometimes there's a whole waterfall of shit raining down on you, and it ain't your fault, and there's nothing you can do or could have done.

And to add insult to injury, you're normally at the bottom of the org pecking order.

As I say, difficult work. I salute all those who do it!

> That statement has to be coming with some hidden caveats. 64 bits of address space is crazy huge so it's unlikely the entire range was even present. If only a subset of the range was "instantly" available, we have that now. Turn off main memory and run right out of the L1 cache. Done.

So I did some digging around for documentation about this machine and it looks like it puts the upper 54-bits of the address through a hash function to select an entry in a set associative tag RAM which is then used to select a physical page. This has the possibility for collisions, but it can get away with that because RAM is just a cache for disk contents.

Certain parts of the address technically mean something, but apart from leveraging that in the design of their hash function it has no real relevance to the way the hardware works. This scheme would work with linear 64-bit addresses just fine with an appropriate hash implementation. Basically all that's happening here is that the TLB is large enough to have an entry for reach physical page in the system and a TLB miss means you have to fetch a whole page from disk rather than walking a tree of page tables in memory.

I think the other thing going on here is that the R1000 is a microcoded machine from the 80s with no cache (well unless you're counting main RAM as cache, so it probably has a relatively leisurely memory read cycle which makes it more straightforward to have a very large TLB relative to the size of main memory. There's no magic here and no lessons for modern machines when it comes to how virtual address translation is done

While I am concerned about data brokers and tracking, it's my personal opinion that that's just the sad reality of technology and the internet today, and most people just don't care.

You and I may care about signing up for services and not being tracked across the internet for the kinds of interests we have, but the way I see it, and the way many suburban and rural libraries and librarians may also see it, our patrons were probably already going to subscribe to Netflix or Amazon Prime, and all their egregious privacy violations.

While most (I would hope) librarians would agree that keeping a patron's private information, including their reading and watching habits be kept secret, equal access to materials and information is far more important.

I would love if larger libraries could develop their own systems for free content that can be accessed by their patrons and perhaps even by other libraries, but that's just not the reality we live in.
Similar to how every IP holder wants to create their own subscription-based platforms for content, libraries would be like Netflix. The content people actually want will always be not on Netflix. In the end, many suburban and rural libraries are desperate for usage by their populace, no matter the cost to privacy.
It goes back to the contract making the guest signing the paperwork, and handing over the credit card, responsible for damage, as well as managing evidence of details of the stay. The clear proof of that willingness is readily supplied by the hotel which has the paperwork. The verbal and visual presentation walkthrough of the paperwork creates expectations which reduce chargeback rates, but documentation those processes also accompany the chargeback documentation to build a case for the charge being previously agreed. Hotels don't have a "pound sound" relationship with banks, issuers and merchant accounts, but rather work together to come up with policies and paperwork that are more clear to customers so work better for everyone.

Again, I understand that you have personally been successful with some chargebacks.

Asking the same type of questions with the same type of answer and only providing same debunked evidence is not asking legitimate questions, it is sea lioning[1] combined with a gish gallop[2]. He is using his polite tone to convince us that he is acting in good faith.

Do you think it’s plausible that a person has been so curious on this topic that they’ve done deep research, can pull up such hard to find data that it takes them multiple attempts to find some esoteric source that supports them, and they didn’t find the high school level answers to the questions they are asking and require us to debunk each and every point they throw out without ever engaging with your counterpoints?

You’d have to believe that this person is incredibly competent at research while being simultaneously incapable of grasping the basics. You’ll notice he never tackled any point or counterpoint there. Just kept posting new sources as they were discarded while complaining that no one would look.

Edit: sorry, missed that this was a sibling thread. If you missed it the same user elsewhere in this post is also trying to argue that he was kicked off a Reddit merely for bringing up the unassailable point that cops only arrest black people more because they are inherently more dangerous. I assume you can see why I’m pointing out that the poster is unbelievable. I am already confident that they are not posting in good faith and only doing counterpoints for random third parties who might read this thread and be persuaded by the poster due to the lack of any counterpoint

Double edit:tbh this actually had the hallmarks of a 4channer mocking us to their buddies. I was one of those assholes in my youth and recognize the tactics. His “I just wanted to post, ‘{controversial statement}, Thoughts?’” is an easy bait sentence that brings out all the free speech absolutists to defend you for just “asking questions” while talking past the group engaging with the {controversial statement} portion of the sentence.

If you have not been on 4chan/8chan/2chan/whateverPermutation boards and wish to engage in internet debate it would be illuminating to observe. In between the gore and the shock porn they have random threads where they openly discuss using these tactics as they believe “normies” won’t be able to stomach their shock content to read deeply into it

What I don't get is why there is no mention of evaporating effect on the energy level of the system.

Evaporating water takes quite a lot of energy so the rest of the water is cooled:

> During evaporation, energetic molecules leave the liquid phase, which lowers the average energy of the remaining liquid molecules. The remaining liquid molecules can then absorb energy from their surroundings. This process can take place at any temperature because some of the molecules in a liquid will always have enough energy to enter the gas phase.

I always thought this was the reason when observing the effect when trying to pour hot instead of cold water to defrost your windscreen during cold winter months :)

> they will "never" support video calls

Video calls are somewhat involved, and no third-party implementation exists to my knowledge. Discord uses WebRTC over the browser, but the desktop app uses a native module written in C++ that I assume handles decoding, audio screensharing, and other related functionalities. It's not impossible of course, but the cognitive barrier is much higher than simply observing the WebSocket and HTTP requests to get text chat working.
You identified the issue in the first paragraph, which is that the public doesn't understand how reddit works so the default named subs have that advantage, which in the case of nationally-oriented subs makes some members nervous about the moderation team.

Nothing has changed since Thatcher, I was describing a scenario where the UK completes its westernisation process and abolishes S21.
Interesting problem. I would have suggested to secure the bottles instead. Make a bottle that spits out a pill at an interval after authenticating the user (with one unauthenticated emergency pill per bottle) and tamper proof it by having a layer of air-pressure gap and conductive epoxy where if the pressure drops or voltage differential changes a solution rendering the pills useless is released(dilluted HCL?), that way you need to pierce it under a bottle specific air pressure an figure out the bottle specific votage for the epoxy. Sensors and all included I speculate under $30 shipped is doable for very high risk and addictive pills that cost a lot anyways.
It’s more to do with having a unified experience with mobile - slack pretty much has the exact same UI on all devices (only change is whether the side bar is visible, which just depends on screen size). For better or worse, not judging here.
I particularly like, from the syntax side:

- Python-style syntax with significant indentation

- Uniform Function Call Syntax: a.len() == a.len == len(a)

- Fully unqualified imports by default: which might seem scary to Python programmers, but works great in practice because of static typing

- All of the above makes code readable and succinct

And from a language features side:

- Compiles to C with all the architectural targets that come with it

- Compilation to C also allows for easy C interop: wrap function signatures and types and you're done

- This, in turn, means that Nim libraries can bootstrap off of the massive C ecosystem, while adding nicer APIs on top

- Extremely performant GC by default: optional Rust-style annotations can further improve performance, and you can remove all overhead and manually manage memory with C-style pointers if you'd like

- Useful compile-time templates and macros that can directly change the AST

For an advocate for maintaining ones own 'sovereignty' by relying less on centralised services I think forums have been assimilated by modern social media (Facebook Groups, subreddits) and crude attempts by IM apps to emulate forum threads (Discord, Slack).

Fondly remember when those ad-filled 'free forum hosts' were shunned by anyone serious who would get a domain and private server instead. In some ways it feels like we are potentially back at the same situation but in reverse.

Considering traditional forum software like phpBB, vbulletin and similar largely look and work the same as they did 15 years ago not hard to see why some change is desired particularly with accessibility by mobile-users.
