All of this article's references to French toast being described in the Roman Empire are straight-up lies. Interestingly, this is already noted on the talk page, but that has had no effect on the text of the article.

In the "History" section of this article, we see that the characters appeared in a book in 1595, and that they are based on a real-life official (and his wife) of the Qing dynasty, which began in 1644.

I built a project that supported my PhD in Meteor.

My memory of it is that Meteor is fantastic, but Mongo is a nightmare.

I spent hours carefully designing my database so I didn't need joins and adding indexing, but it never ran as fast as unoptimised MySQL, and had vastly less functionality.

Mongo was literally all hype - I find it impossible to imagine the use case. A salutary lesson in how rubbish the latest fashionable thing can be.

No its not news most of the time. The situation you are referencing is an extreme case and that's why it made news, and it happens to be a very well known story with the evidence being literally in the capital city. Seems like you are suffering from an extreme case of survivor bias.

> You have the same restrictions in C++ except with worse consequences.

In C++ it is safe because the arena is only used from one thread at a time.

To model this C++ pattern in Rust, what I would really want is:

1. Arena should be Sync, and not use interior mutability.

2. Arena::alloc() should do a dual borrow: (a) a mut borrow of the Arena metadata, only for the duration of the alloc() call, and (b) a non-mut (shared) borrow of the Arena data.

Because this kind of split borrow cannot be expressed in Rust AFAICS, (2) is not possible, so (1) is not feasible. This forces Bumpalo to be !Sync, which makes a direct Rust port of the C++ pattern impossible.

I've heard this called the "factory problem" for Rust: you cannot easily make a factory type in Rust that returns references, because if the create() operation mutates the factory, then the returned reference will have a mutable borrow on the factory.

The alternative would be to make a truly thread-safe arena/factory, which could be Sync with interior mutability, but that is an efficiency compromise due to synchronization overhead.

Your economy will die like any other because money will fail to circulate. So you will come up with nonsensical concepts like money sinks and faucets. Imagine an MMORPG where the money supply was fixed and 90% of the playerbase quit and took 90% of the money supply with them. That money will not circulate. It is dead money. Dead money means a dead economy.

As stupid as it sounds, every game economy has adopted a Keynesian/pseudo MMT (faucet and sink) model because that is way more fun. The Austrian economists on the other hand know how to make unfun games. Translate that to reality however you wish.

Doing this in a non-spherical-cow environment will be challenging, because the gravitational load varies (passengers stepping on/off) but it's probably important to keep the velocity fairly constant to avoid upsetting the balance of those standing on it, let alone those walking down it. So it likely needs the generator load to be very responsive to the behavior of a long loop of rather heavy objects with quite a lot of friction, motor driven via reducing gears.

Maybe instead of thinking of generation, it's more a question of regulating the applied motor power to keep constant velocity?

The issue with the DL approach to FOL fragments is that the operator-subset approach is too coarse grained. We need something more finegrained that allowes for syntactic and semantic constraints over the specific interpretations and theories. An example of such an approach is stratified negation in datalog. DL would simply ban negation or recursion, but limiting the syntax of datalog programs allows for correct semantics while still allowing solutions for many interesting problems.

One of our running gags is: "Snomed might not be able to give you a diagnosis on why you are sick, or provide you with a treatment plan, but thanks to the power and efficiency of description logics it can tell you that you leg bone is connected to your hip bone and that both are bones 80 billion times per second."
So your morality is based on purely political criteria?

Though the renderings indicate that this is a CXL controller connected to DRAMs on the back end. It makes sense, since the front end logic for CXL is die area intensive. This is basically an SSD without all of the complexity of wear leveling.

Where new escalators have been put in they do. Mostly this is in new stations or station entrances. Eg the new Cannon St Stn entrance.

I suspect there's no reasonable way to retrofit them to existing ones - probably requires a different type of electric motor and AC speed controller plus sensors which is getting to be a pretty big job (so expensive even if the parts aren't).

It takes TFL about 9 months to replace out an old escalator for a new one. I think I'm correct to say they have 50 year operational lives.

That's not at all certain when buying and EV.

That's what people have been saying since 2014 and Tesla has just continued to grow.

> and they'll probably be losing some margin

Given that they have improved prices quite a bit and still have lots of order backlog, I would suspect the opposite.

Maybe total operational margin will be down because of Berlin and Texas factories, but automotive margin is unlikely to go down.
> The greater objective is for everyone - normal users - to have a choice to select from a reasonable number of comparable competing products as they do with other products they're familiar with.

Well that's not my objective. If it's yours, then good luck with that battle. I'm okay ignoring users who don't want to put in the time necessary to become proficient in GNU/Linux. I mean sure it would be nice if there were some unified simple way to do things, but I personally wouldn't use a Linux-based OS that I don't like simply to decrease fragmentation. Basically the whole point of free software is that you _don't_ have to do that if you don't want to.

Regardless I wish you luck in all the development/community work you put into turning your vision into a reality.
On the underground you’re meant to stand on the right of escalators to leave room for those walking up on the left. However, TFL ran a trial a few years ago instructing people to stand on both sides during peak times. This actually increased overall throughout and per-person speed: throughput as you can more closely pack passengers standing rather than allowing a smaller number of walkers half the space (and those walkers are necessarily spaced out more than standers), and per-passenger speed because even though walking up the escalator would be faster, the increased throughout reduces the queue time at the escalator entrance, which has a greater effect.

To my knowledge, they didn’t move forwards with keeping the instruction permanent in peak times, presumably because it’s difficult to implement / ingrain in people.

What's most valuable for me in this writeup are links to many cool modern projects.

Qwik look super interesting and I was amazed how fast and easy you can try out a framework built on Deno (Fresh).

I already had Chocolatey installed so it was:

choco install deno
deno run -A -r https://fresh.deno.dev my-project
deno task start

And I could start poking around the files of some example project and all the files seem to have a immediately clear purpose.
In the sense that more oxygen was available to muscles, maybe. In any buoyancy or aerodynamics sense, the effect would be miniscule at best.
Could the escalators going down generate the power for the escalators that are going up?
This argument is based on a logical fallacy equating "human" with "person". It's yet another example of an attempt to derail the discussion.

Honestly, I don't think I can convince a flat-earther or pro-lifer. This kind of brainwashing appears to be unfixable. What can be done is limiting the spread.

Its not only about standards, but also about tools to check that you are actually following them. It is easy to write C code which will compile with one compiler but not with another. That's why if compatibility is desired it is better to compile code with different compilers in CI.

In theory we can use a tool which tells if you SQL is ANSI compliant, but this would not tell if your code expect only standard compliant behavior from the database. E. g. some RDBMs are flexible in which formats they accept datetime strings and some are not. SQL can be standards-compliant but code still can fail with one DB and work with another.

It is not to say that standards are useless. It much easier to port an application from one DB to another if a developer was trying to use only ANSI SQL. Or you can write an application which can work with multiple RDBMs without modification but like with almost everything else - if you haven't tested it you cannot be sure that it works.
I have a blog (padiracinnovation.org) since a few years.
To my knowledge, it was never hacked.

The stack is:

* HTMLy (modified to fit my needs) and FTP

* PHP

* Apache

* Debian

I use Cloudflare at least to get an easy HTTPS and a few other reasons (seeing traffic and possibly attacks).

I use passwords, but they are very complex and I minimize their number (one for HTMLy, one for Debian, one for the FTP).

I try to minimize the surface they control (beware of blind CHOWN/CHMOD command lines found on Internet), same for OS, there is no alternative source for applications, even for PHP8. I guess I am not very happy with Debian but I know it.

For some time it was hosted on a personal server at home, and I had even an email server (too complicated to setup and maintain). Now it is hosted on OVH.
Neat. Some limitations:

- It doesn't tell you how many days there are in the month (31/30/28/29).

- Working out how to move the frame at the end of the month isn't very difficult, but it's not trivial either (especially given the previous point).

The problem with Wikipedia moderation is that is all done by people that care about the subject. If you pick a subject that no one cares too much about, you can easily deface it with non true information.

The other issue is the war cry "you are a sock puppet!" Many seem to use this to try to force their opinion to be heard. I saw this first hand once and it can get ugly.
> They're too cheap to use differential signaling even on GDDR memory.

Makes it quite impressive that they're able to push 20+ Gigabit/s/pin even in dual-sided / T-layouts (though that also uses PAM4). Of course, comparing historical GPU layouts it's pretty obvious how the RAM chips are creeping ever more closely to the GPU die - weird how that is.

I've been wondering about that story as well. My own conclusion is that the experiment failed because the metric of average speed per passenger is wrong from a passenger's perspective. People who stand probably don't care about a hardly noticeable increase in speed, whereas people who walk are annoyed by the very noticeable decrease in speed.
PCI[1] didn't use differential signalling, however it did use reflected-wave switching[2]. PCI express[3] does use differential signalling, as does a lot of other higher-speed busses like USB, SATA, or MIPI CSI-2/3[4].

Yeah, somehow I mistakenly read your “powerful” to mean elected government.

I suppose the main thing that makes rich powerful is the ability to influence government, which is only because power converts to money. If elected officials could not be influenced by rich malicious actors, those actors would lose much leverage.

The second thing is the ability to use money to secure popular support, which can hardly be eliminated unless people stop putting personal gain above true value… which is realistic in post-scarcity.
I'd say that the largest amount of human involvement was on the original works of art that these models ingurgitated. What came after is only statistical interpolation.
This is an nonsensical comparison. As absurd as Putins claim is historically it has more ground to stand on , at least historically both Russia and Ukraine are (kind of) successors to the original Rus state centered around Kiev. Whereas Azerbaijan’s claim is basically based on the fact that they invaded the region and murdered or drove off the Armenians living there.

Obviously what happened hundreds of years ago should be irrelevant since the people currently living there had nothing to do with it. But also I don’t think we should deny the right of self determination to the people living there just because Stalin drew some line on a map close to century ago.
Typo sorry, it's 'done' not 'do'.
I think the author was just trying to be nice to the reader. The worst case scenario when suffering from impostor syndrome is not that everyone is winging it all the time, but rather that you are in fact not very good at what you're doing, you may never become good at it and the people around you know that already. But I think the main point of the article still stands: Accept that you're not good at something, stop worrying about it and try the best you can anyway. Usually, after doing that for a while, you end up actually becoming good at it.
