Gifted kids are all really different in their specific strengths. That said, for one with a well-expressed nerd gene, we started at age 6. I would start with an iPad app (slightly simpler container than a browser), maybe that gamifies the whole thing a bit with some easy on-ramps. For us that was Tynker and a bit of Hopscotch. It's pretty easy to tell whether you've got any sparks of interest on your hands, else no point in pushing it.

Funny that you mention cleanup. Our service doesn't clean up in any circumstance.

Originally we had a cleanup operation in case of errors. But then we found those could fail as well. As it turns out, we need a catch-all way to clean up resources if anything else fails.

The solution is simple. The main service never cleans up, and a secondary service (I like to call it The Reaper) just cleans up orphaned resources. This keeps both services simpler and more resilient.

Of course this pattern works in our particular circumstances. In other domains it might lead to resource leaks and such, so apply your best judgement.
Optics would need line of sight. The earth's curvature puts a very hard limit to how far you could communicate. The accepted standard in underwater is VLF, but as the name implies you are only capable of very low data rates.
There isn't a distinction. How is free trade possible if one isn't free to exchange one form of capital for another? Exchange requires movement.
no they can't, for instance in Czechia your have to report it to your doctor, who can then report it to VAERS and it's up to him whether it's gonna be reported
Yes, the fact that nobody really knew where the subs were was a key factor in that first strike survivability. Even ComSubPacFlt only knew of very large sectors of ocean that a boat was to patrol, the rest was up to the captain and circumstances.
This isn't the only reason people want to kill themselves. My dad had cancer, and basically got locked into a ruined and barely usable body (in that he wasn't fully bed ridden but couldn't take care of himself or speak).

If he lived in a place with compassion he could have ended it cleanly. He didn't. Where he lived killing himself would be illegal, and would have been much harder dealing with the legality than otherwise. He had life insurance that swapped when he ended his job, he had to die naturally so it would pay out for us because there's no law protecting it.

So instead he suffered for around a year. He was kind, he didn't tell us (the family) what was going on, but about a month after he had the surgery which really f*cked him up to get rid of a tumor, the tumor was back. He just told the doctors no when they tried to help further, and died after 8 months of suffering. One might consider it suicide by inaction, but for some reason that's condoned and seen as strong.

My mom didn't understand this until a few years back when her memory started going and she was losing herself, and talked about how unpleasant life was and there being some alternative. when I mentioned that dad had wanted to as well (he didn't tell her, she couldn't handle it at the time). She expressed regret she didn't live somewhere else. Then she forgot about the discussion the next day. She spends her days with about 3 minutes of memory at a time and will till she passes.

End of life isn't just about suicide. They both wanted to live, but not in the irreversible physical form they were in. Neither legally had the option. Neither actually did it though. I bet my dad would have and I don't blame him if it was socially acceptable and legal.
For 2, a nation state or even a remotely big corp would have no problem footing the bill.

There's no actual storage density information, is there? Nothing in KJ/m^3 units.

Ball milling to shove gas into nanoparticles seems counterintuitive, as ball milling is typically used to grind particles smaller.

I could imagine if we really had nanodust of BN+20H2 (or whatever) that it'd be (a) potentially very combustible (b) potentially dangerous to lungs when inhaled. (Presumably, at some temperature, hydrogen begins to be released, and if you then ignite that hydrogen, I could imagine a runaway reaction.)

I really want this or something similar to work.

Maybe the simpler thing to do is to develop a solar cell that produces methanol (or ethanol) directly from sunlight, CO2, and water, and then just have a methanol engine. Should be able to burn methanol and produce CO2/water exhaust only.
Scratch is overrated. The color blocks are a fantastic draw for getting a nonprofit funded, but for the children actually using it, the they're just an obstacle. Even at the youngest school ages, children grasp the grammatical concepts of programming effortlessly. It's the math that's the kicker--explaining modulus when they haven't gotten to division yet, binary & hex before they've fully grasped decimal, coordinate systems before they've learned negative numbers, etc...

IMHO, best modern tools for lern2code would be a tie between Lua/Love2d & p5.js.

And for 3rd place... you're going to think this is WAY OUT THERE... C--spare them the gcc esoterica of course--with sample project they can use as a scratchpad. Having types, but without all of the meta complexity of anonymous funcs, OOP, closures, dynamic typing, etc, takes a lot of the complexity (and frustration!) out of learning to program.

At the older & more social ages, the old web APIs were a wonderful stomping-ground. That avenue has since been narrowed-down & greatly so, for obvious reasons.

The Papert/LOGO/PARC stuff should be thrown into the fire. A military-industrial experiment on children; how quickly can we transform the random prole into a technician? Not that any of the researchers were "bad people" or even aware of it. It was a simple necessity of the times & typical "forest for the trees" situation. I think the numerical/visual/spatial primacy of this branch--trying to give kids a visual "feel" for mathematical representations before their brains are ready for the "real deal"--diverts focus away from many of the more "human" uses of the technology.

Wii actually had a web browser and JavaScript API for the Wiimote controller. This comment made me remember a basic website I made for it back in the day. It was cool to use the Wiimote to interact with the page! The web games didn’t really take off though. I wonder if Wii emulators have the browser app? Video out broke on the Wii consoles in my family…
Except the lead researcher is quoted as saying hydrogen:

“We were so surprised to see this happen, but each time we kept getting the exact same result, it was a eureka moment,” said lead researcher Dr Srikanth Mateti.

“There is no waste, the process requires no harsh chemicals and creates no by-products. …This means you could store hydrogen anywhere and use it whenever it’s needed.”

“The current way of storing hydrogen is in a high-pressure tank, or by cooling the gas down to a liquid form. Both require large amounts of energy, as well as dangerous processes and chemicals,” said Professor Chen.
If you used the Forge development environment, then it did the deobfuscation for you. They have it set up so well you basically don't even realize it happened.
>The next step, is to take only those ideas that are relevant to what you're working on (after all, the ZK is primarily a tool for helping writers develop their ideas) and make individual zettels for each one based on your interpretation of the author's idea. But, in order to do this, you have to know what you're working on!

Does this mean that if you don't know what you want to do that the zettelkasten is not the right method? In other words, zettelkasten is more a search than a find tool. Has somebody developed a method that's more appropriate for discovering and linking new ideas for new projects?

It does answer the question you just want to look past it. Chinese state-owned commercial banks (SCOBs) account for ~40% of the market alone, another 40% or so is rural banks etc, all of which are under incredibly strict regulation. You can't compare the state of US banking in 2008 to what we currently see in China, they aren't even remotely close in terms of regulation, capital requirements and auditing. Current day US banks probably have less stringent stress tests than SBOCs.

Shadow banking and privatized loans are definitely a risk but they don't represent the same scale of risk as we saw in 2008. It's almost certain they explode but I don't think it's possible that such a small portion of the market can markedly affect the financial stability of the nation as a whole.
When we first starting writing windows programs back then, one of the main considerations of a desktop / client server CRUD program was getting the tabbing order right.

A lot of those green screen / dos / mini computer CRUD programs were carefully designed around productivity with a keyboard.
So much of the handling of this pandemic has completely shattered my trust in our medical and scientific institutions.

The debate about the actual medical benefits of the vaccine are almost irrelevant at this point.
Whitehall mandarins crippled Britain’s aircraft carriers
Because the deaths prevented are debatable, that is why. Should we be forced to get every vaccine? Even vaccines that are not effective? Who decides that?

What if the institutions mandating vaccines have a conflict of interest?

Very few people are actually so selfish or ignorant that they would not get an effective vaccine.
Even if you could find a park for them, after about 20-30 years they can't really be transported because the materials/glue/calk/etc they are manufactured with literally cracks, breaks and even disintegrates.

AKA, moving one creates a lot of dynamic stress that breaks the roof seals, flooring, plumbing, etc. Leaving them sitting its possible to maintain them such that they remain waterproof, but as soon as you move it, they need a new roof coating at a minimum.

Its largely why they lose value too. They need to really be treated as prefab, placed on a foundation and built around. Only one ends up replacing much of the thing over the long run as mobile home parts aren't as generic as normal houses, so one gradually has to replace the lightweight fixtures/windows/etc with normal builder grade hardware which weights significantly more before the mobile home specific parts become unavailable.
>ignore unexpected exceptions

Isn't it the way it already is in practice, not something specific to Erlang? If an exception is unexpected, usually there won't be an exception handler for it, otherwise a developer pretty much expected it. Developers are generally lazy so in my practice the default is usually to let it fail, and there's usually going to be an exception handler that does something other than logging and quitting only if there's a serious reason to do so.

Maybe a more useful distinction could rather be "business logic errors" vs. everything else ("infrastructure errors", "programming errors" and "input validation errors"). Business logic should clearly define what should be done when an error happens, to avoid inconsistent state. But infrastructure-level errors or programming errors, you can't do much about them, other than log and/or retry.
This is a very stark misrepresentation of the research. The actual study is about reducing the energy consumption of natural gas refining:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13697...

Apparently this process accounts for a large fraction of energy consumed in the overall petrochemical economy, but it's got little to do with hydrogen storage.

In fact, boron nitride, the key material here, has been extensively considered for hydrogen storage due to the stability of the compound NH3BH3, hence attempts to perform the reaction BN + 3 H2 >> NH3BH3, but these are very difficult and it's unlikely a simple technique would have been missed. The use of BN to adsorb ethylene is much less "obvious".
Neat article, might try this soon. I’d say my greatest takeaway though was just learning about LCH colour definitions, can’t believe I hadn’t heard of then before. Really hope that its broadly supported soon (also interesting Safari was an early adopter… wonder why that is).
Trump didn't suggest it. He mentioned that it was being looked at as one of the possible options.

And I think OP is implying that a totally incorrect statement erodes trust, even if you were just trying to persuade people to take the vaccine.
Let's say you have some code written 2 years ago. 2 months ago someone made a bug fix in the code replacing a few of the lines. How would you know from test, specs or

>a cheeseburger is only possible with wide, nation-crossing supply chains.

I know you are just giving an example - I get your concept - but frankly all the ingredients for a darn good cheeseburger are produced within a two hour drive of where I live, on an industrial scale. Maybe I'm just really lucky, but on the other hand if you go back just a bit more than 50 years ago, most small towns had their own dairies, bakers, butchers, local farmers and rancher, they had various kinds of factories and industrial producers - and maybe this is one place where we need to go back in history.
I heard a PSA on the radio that said you should get your 5-13 or whatever age children vaccinated because "many children will suffer major covid complications or even death".

'Many'. No percentage. Just many.
Thanks! In a previous iteration I used some of those solutions, both Heroku and Render. I thought this might be a good use case for Lambda because the API doesn't get called very often, and it's really just one function. Refactoring the backend code to keep the lambda handler skinny seemed to help. If I continue to have problems I will definitely look at these options.

Modern Java, should not produce a lot of checked exceptions. Unfortunately, a large part of the standard library is 25 years old and still full of things that throw checked exceptions. If you use something like Spring or Quarkus, you'll not find a lot of those.

Kotlin improved on Java by treating all exceptions as unchecked. Including those from Java code. This was intentional and based on the observation that checked exceptions in Java were simply a mistake. Modern Java frameworks don't tend to use them for this reason. Kotlin fixed several other language design mistakes in Java and it's a reason it is used as a drop in replacement for Java in a lot of places. It also makes what guava and lombok do for Java completely redundant. All part of the language and standard library. Android, Spring, Quarkus, etc. they all become nicer to deal with when you swap out Java for Kotlin. I find dealing Java code to be very awkward these days. I used it for years and it just looks so ugly, clumsy, and verbose to me now.

The most common catch block in Java is e.printStackTrace() because that's what your IDE will insert. That's stupid code. And replacing it with a logger.error(e) is only marginally better. Idiomatic Java is actually re-throwing exceptions as RuntimeExceptions so your framework can handle them for you in a central place and show a nice not found page or bad request page (or the dreaded "we f*ked up" internal server error page). That too is stupid code to write and with Kotlin, re-throwing exceptions is not really a thing. Why would you? Either you handle the exception or it just bubbles up to a place where it is handled or not. If you want people to deal with exceptions, you wrap them with a a Result<T> in Kotlin. Java has a similar thing called an Optional but it is mostly just used to dodge null pointer exceptions; which in Kotlin are rare because it has nullable types. And of course it does not actually contain the original exception.
The absorption method described in the research article is dependent on the existence of pairs of carbon atoms with multiple bonds between them.

It is clearly stated that the gases with simple bonds between carbon and hydrogen or carbon and carbon are not absorbed. The 2 atoms in dihydrogen have a simple bond very similar to that between hydrogen and carbon.

So everything said in the research article is consistent with pure hydrogen not being absorbed by their powder.

Therefore it is quite certain that the reporter has misunderstood and distorted the quotation from the researcher.

Also, there are well known methods of storing pure hydrogen by absorption in solids, e.g. using palladium or rare-earth intermetallic compounds, like in the NiMH rechargeable batteries, but those methods are not suited for large-scale storage due to high cost or other limitations.

So the quotation from the researcher would have been wrong anyway, because high pressures or low temperatures are not the only ways to store dihydrogen, so a comparison of advantages and disadvantages with all methods would have been needed.
This makes the assumption that “raw intelligence” is all that’s required to push at the edge of “hardest fields”

This is simply not true. Some fields require learning 10-20 years of domain knowledge before one can push at the edge. Another factor is discipline, often the young are impatient, and lack the rigour and discipline required to execute.

I think that the large leaps made by the young are through fresh ideas made from new perspectives, their minds unburdened with legacy methods.

I’m not arguing that human intelligence peaks at young adulthood, I’m arguing that contributing to “hardest fields” is NOT simply a factor of raw intelligence like your answer assumes.
It also apparently takes significantly longer than just building with cinder block.

So, yah its interesting, and the rounded corner things, along with the hollow walls are "neat" but much of the cost of single story homes isn't the first story walls is it? Its all the finish work/etc that still will need to be done.

So, its hard to see where any cost savings can come from if they are optimizing a part of the design that contributes a minority to the total cost.

Hi, thanks for the comments! I've agonized to excess over so many of the design decisions, but here is the reasoning for the concerns you've raised:

There is no avoiding Unicode since that is what the world has settled upon. Anything else would limit international support.

As soon as comments are allowed in a text format, they become part of the structure, and need rules for where they can and cannot occur. I've tried to make them as forgiving as possible (basically they can be placed between any two tokens). I think the main difference is that most formats only imply rather than specify where they're allowed and not allowed (for example, you can't put a comment in the middle of a number: 1234/blah/5678 does not represent 12345678).

Astronomical year numbering is essential in internal runtime representations, but terrible for anything human facing (which is why standard library date APIs present them in era form). I've observed time and time again people making off-by-one mistakes trying to input BC dates in ISO 8601 (which uses astronomical year numbering); it's just not user-frinedly, and doesn't add anything useful to an interchange format since a computer can make the adjustment automatically and without error every time it converts to/from its internal representation.

Media is useful for embedding objects that the receiving side will just know how to handle. Media types were added to email and HTTP and various other formats so that one could embed foreign objects into documents in a consistent, compatible way that the operating system could automatically display. For example, an identification card document could include a picture of the person, but if it were just a series of bytes, a Concise Encoding reader wouldn't know what to do with it; only the receiving application would know. However, as a media object "image/jpeg", any CE reader could display the image inline when viewing the document.

I think the format looks complicated because I've been explicit to the point of paranoia about codec behavior in order to ensure that no two implementations have subtle behavioral differences (which would open attack vectors). Internally, all of the types follow 4-5 data layout strategies to keep the binary codec size small. The text format will likely see 2% of usage in the real world, so for it my primary concerns are user friendliness and compatibility with the binary format.
If you're calculating a multiple MRR alone is pretty useless, no matter how high it is.
> 40% or so is rural banks etc

Aren’t those the banks that were taken over by gangs and has their funds embezzled? You’re painting way too rosy a picture of the Chinese financial system. It’s taken months to make rural depositors while after having their money stolen. They’re still waiting.

Sure, if you can avoid cleaning up, that's great. The biggest potential problem I know of are client-side TCP connections, which aren't very easy to clean up after the fact (you'd have to know the client port, and craft a RST packet from that port), and tend to have really long timeouts by default.
