Personally, I think that if you aren't already familiar with iptables, nftables is easier to learn and understand, with the caveat that there is a lot existing documentation, tutorials, etc. for iptables, and significantly less for nftables.
Was reading a book on this "The Charisma Machine" about the precocious child heh. Ideals vs. reality.
there is a short term battery based storage but the long term storage for the winter months is the h2 storage. I think the system is very expensive but a cool prove of concept and for sure a step in the right direction.
Although, Chinese astrology may not be as incorrect as Western is. Consider how many people have said that "Gen Z behaves such a way", or "millennials are all xyz". After all, we are talking about a test that isn't really more precise.
Spatialite is such an amazing and little talked about tool. I think most people go straight for its bigger cousin POSTGIS which is the correct decision 99% of the time.

However there are situations where you don't want a full blown database server and an embedded db is better.

I have seen one company just store the geometries as well known text in sqlite, then act all confused when their application runs incredibly slow.
I go through this process regularly when I have to put away groceries. I get progressively anxious about just leaving them on the counter, and it devolves into me ignoring them until I have to use them, by which time some of them are no longer usable.
He's not wrong about the narrow algorithmic use cases (so far), but he's completely missing the utility for simulation of quantum phenomena (chemistry, microbiology, materials science). That use case alone completely justifies investing into them even if you don't care about advancing science.
Taiwan is the same as Japan in needing to carry cash, but it's not listed as a negative, weird? I imagine it's the same for many other countries on the list, like Indonesia and Mexico, so not sure why Japan is called out.
Being white farang and having lived in Thailand for 6 years now I immediately got what he was saying.

Maybe you should consider you might not have the full context of the conversation instead of launching into a rant.

The farang only for white people is something that just comes up here sometimes. At one point we tried to get the Thai colleagues to call black expats "farang dam". Didn't catch on haha.

Foreigner tax is the correct way to call it because pricing in national parks is tied to citizenship not race
google sheets for capturing recurring expenses against cash flow (salaried income + rsu vests + royalties). each recurring expense gets a "containerized" debit card from privacy.com (i.e. each card has a spend limit of however much each service costs). these cards pull from a bank account that is only used for auto-pay.

for non-fixed recurring expenses (like water and electricity), i set a high estimated monthly cost and adjust downwards as patterns are established

i don't trade stocks enough to track them with any regularity.

expensify for capturing regular expenses, like groceries and food, which are paid with a credit card that is paid off every two weeks. because all bank alerts route to expensify, i capture every transaction i make. i go through expensify weekly and separate "budgeted" recurring expenses and daily expenses. i also made an API that uses their backend for their frontend to send receipts with iOS Shortcuts.

i aggressively convert repeated transactions into recurring expenses to smoothen free cash forecasting. amazon subscribe and save has been immensely helpful here.

this has been my stack since 2016. it has been amazingly successful for me. i know exactly what i can and can't afford and their % of my net income. i can also track lifestyle inflation with incredibly high granularity.

I think that was specifically an Intel Mac only problem, because the thunderbolt controllers were separate (and decently high power, 5w?) chips.
I feel similarly. I happen to work with a lady who, being honest, shouldn't be a programmer at all, and basically just creates messes. But she is the kindest person, and at meetups is probably one of the friendliest and most talkative people. And not in a fake sugar cover my ass way or anything, a real genuine person.

I wouldn't call us friends by any means, but man does it create this giant conflict of interest in my head still.

On a similar note, I also helped a friend get a job with me a few years back. He was completely checked out, to the point I was ashamed to have ever recommended him. So I probably won't do that again, either.
Carbon Language – Chandler Carruth - CppNorth 2022
I once worked for a Candian startup whose main product was (at least initially) an app that did the same thing. Slick UI, PDF parsing, the whole thing was fairly polished, and if the press releases were to be believed, our product had captured something like 10% of the province's whole amicable divorce market.

Unfortunately, the product ended up not being viable. The company pivoted around the end of my short time there. Hope this one has more luck.
Frankly it seems strange to me to be comparing Vale's generational reference system and Rust's borrow checker directly. They have completely different characteristics and are not direct substitutes for one another.

First, Rust's borrow checker incurs zero runtime overhead for any pointer operations (whether dereferencing, copying, or dropping a pointer) and requires no extra storage at runtime (no reference counts or generation numbers); it's entirely a set of compile-time checks. Generational references, on the other hand, require storing an extra piece of data alongside both every heap allocation and every non-owning reference, and they incur an extra operation at every dereference.

Second, since Rust's borrow checker exists entirely at compile time, it doesn't introduce any runtime failures. If a program violates the rules of the borrow checker, it won't compile; if a program compiles successfully, the borrow checker does not insert any conditional runtime panics or aborts. Generational references, in comparison, consist entirely of a set of runtime checks; you won't found out if you violated the rules of generational references until it happens at runtime during a particular execution and your program crashes.

Finally, Rust's borrow checker applies to references of all kinds, whether they point to a heap-allocated object, a stack-allocated object, an inline field inside a larger allocation, a single entry in an array, or even an object allocated on a different heap and passed over FFI. Its checks still apply even in scenarios where there is no heap. Generational references, on the other hand, are entirely specific to heap-allocated objects. They don't work for stack-allocated objects, they don't work for foreign objects allocated on a different heap, and they don't work in a scenario with no heap at all.

All of these are fundamental differences which mean that Vale's generational reference system is not at all a replacement for Rust's borrow checker. It's not zero-overhead, it doesn't catch errors at compile time, and it's fundamentally specific to heap-allocated objects. In these ways it's more comparable to Rust's Rc, which introduces runtime overhead and is specific to heap-allocated objects, or RefCell, which performs checks at runtime that can result in aborting the program.
The branching in PlanetScale is for schemas (your team branch out to develop your database, and merge the branch when new development has completed)
It might be easier to think about it as a stack, rather than a tree. Each element of the stack represents a subtree -- a perfect binary tree. If you ever have two subtrees of height k, you merge them together into one subtree of height k+1. Your stack might already have another subtree of height k+1; if so, you repeat the process, until there's at most one subtree of each height.

This process is isomorphic to binary addition. Worked example: let's start with a single leaf, i.e. a subtree of height 0. Then we "add" another leaf; since we now have a pair of two equally-sized leaves, we merge them into one subtree of height 1. Then we add a third leaf; now this one doesn't have a sibling to merge with, so we just keep it. Now our "stack" contains two subtrees: one of height 1, and one of height 0.

Now the isomorphism: we start with the binary integer 1, i.e. a single bit at index 0. We add another 1 to it, and the 1s "merge" into a single 1 bit at index 1. Then we add another 1, resulting in two 1 bits at different indices: 11. If we add one more bit, we'll get 100; likewise, if we add another leaf to our BNT, we'll get a single subtree of height 2. Thus, the binary representation of the number of leaves "encodes" the structure of the BNT.

This isomorphism allows you to do some neat tricks, like calculating the size of a Merkle proof in 3 asm instructions. There's some code here if that helps: https://github.com/lukechampine/us/blob/master/merkle/stack....

Promises in javascript are absolutely not considered 'an implementation of lazy evaluation.' Promises are invoked eagerly in javascript.
You keep saying you agree with me that executives should not make this type of decision and then you somehow circle back to how we can enable executives to make that type of decision. That's the opposite of what I'm saying! I'm not sure I understand what's going on there.
The need is to understand quantum systems and advance our understanding of theoretical computer science.

Unfortunately, covid case numbers in my area just do not support going back to the office, even if I wanted to. And regardless, my company got rid of their physical office entirely—so there would be nowhere to go back to even if I could return. I think most smaller companies are in a similar boat: why pay for an office if you can get away without?

And even if there was an office available, would there even be a benefit to going into the office to work with the 2 other people who are local if I still have to spend all of my time on video calls with the 8 other people who are remote? And the labor conditions have changed such that even if I could find a company and team that was fully local (and cared about it enough to give up my current team, whom I love working with otherwise), I probably wouldn't want to work with any team that was only hiring locally and made it a requirement. Just look at how many people associate working from an office with pointy haired management overreach! Who would even take that kind of job? Nobody who had any other options, that's for sure.

When the industry is moving to remote first, everybody gets swept up in the same tide.
damn. Any permanent disability from this besides cosmetic damage?
I think it’s a by-word for ‘American with more money than sense’, which seems redundant now that I type it.
Also google will sometimes treat iptables as a synonym for nftables which is extremely frustrating
Main reason I disagree is that astrology takes many more turns than a random person writing a random daily horoscope for your [sun] sign that can be attributed to anyone.

There are way more similarities between Myers Briggs and astrology.

At this point I would choose people leading with astrology over Myers Briggs because of the broader appeal and expectation to be criticized. Whereas people leading with Myers Briggs take themselves way too seriously.
You don’t have to answer but I would like to ask.

> I wouldn't be able to make the income that I do without the contributions my wife has made to making my life easier, and in general keeping the more administrative aspects of life under control.

If you were to divorce would you find it reasonable for her to get 50%?

Because I would seem as tho she gave up (willingly in support of you) a career for you. And after divorce wouldn’t be able to maintain any sort of lifestyle as a result of having no career or work experience?
It is in the same galaxy of being wrong, neither can conclude the things they claim to conclude.

If anything, Myers Briggs is worse because it fools people into thinking it is supported by data and is “scientific”.

That talk is really good context, thank you.
I don't know why you bothered to respond to literally part of a sentence without addressing the hypothetical that renders it meaningful. When you say you have a "good theory of mind" and have "complex models for all the individuals you interact with" are you saying that you have some kind of complex analytical models for people to compensate for the inability to intuit or that you are able to intuitively and effortlessly read people as neurotypicals naturally do?

If the latter is what you're saying and you're correct in your self-assessment, that likely means your autism diagnosis is highly questionable.

If the former is what you mean, then I think you misunderstand what people mean by "dysfunctional theory of mind" as it applies to autism.
I wish there was a cheapish Chromebook with a 120 Hz display. I'd use it mostly as a dumb terminal but I really don't want to buy 60 Hz screens anymore.
You also have to make sure the books aren't a print-on-demand counterfeit.
> High taxes always drive capital away into unproductive tax havens.

Citation needed. Show me data that demonstrates that use of tax havens is correlated to tax rates. The data over the last 30-40 years at least at first glance seems to disagree. Tax rates (in particular top income bracket, capital gains and corporate taxes) have continously reduced, while the amount of money in tax havens has increased.
It’s better than anything else available to layman, hence why they find it useful.
A pet peeve of mine is when news articles cite public sources like social media but don't bother to link to them. I can understand for NSFW content but that should be the exception not the rule!
Our existing file APIs already provide abstractions that are both expensive and have no clear best design.

There’s a lot that these APIs hide from you in order to make it so you can pretend that this is the 1970s and your file is essentially a piece of tape. We’ve then built filesystems and directory structures on top of this piecemeal. The abstraction covers all these fancy journaling structures and a whole page cache.

When you observe a particle, you see it in a superposition of a indefinite number of states.

A photon moves at the speed of light, it does not experience the flow of time because of that, its whole lifetime is an instant from its point of view, and it "sees" the universe in the superposition of the states the universe goes through.

Similarly, the indefinite number of states of the particle could be observing a development in a time dimension in which the time does not flow for the observer.

They say, one man's instant, another man's eternity...
I also had my first encounter recently because I bought a new home router and the OpenWRT 22.xx beta now uses nft. Fortunately, the web interface works fine, but I had trouble with IPv6 forwarding, for some reason (I think the default just does not enable it), so had to debug a bit on the command line.

I was annoyed at first, but the transition is easy:

- iptables-translate can help convert rules

- nft avoids having to duplicate ipv4/ipv6 rules

- using the pf syntax and reloading the entire file will avoid reloading if there is a syntax error in a rule (iptables would run as a bash script and have unpredictable results)

- the syntax is fairly similar, but less ugly, similar to tcpdump
Once you understand child support payments, and thus the ability to be jailed and eventually charged with a felony and have your civil rights revoked, are tied to custody you'll understand part of the reason for the high stakes. If you end up with <50% custody, you have to keep a job that pays at least as good as your current one for 18 years, pray a judge believes you when you have trouble with work, or expect to end up in a jail cell with your license, property, passport, and civil rights revoked.

The only debtor's prison there is in the US is the one for people with <50% custody. Therefore if the other parent makes claims of abuse, it's imperative you have counterclaims to make sure the other parent is in just as bad light to make sure you won't be subject to imprisonment at the whim of a judge at any misfortune you have.

Everything is dependent on the user. It has updates until June 2027. Assuming the author keeps it will last 5 years.

May be less local power is OK.
This assumes that the husband wants to remain married and that the wife is contributing.

Congrats on your loving and supportive marriage, but that is not always the case.

I imagine it's a lot more scary for people in the latter group.
While that's a neat story, I'm not sure if it has a lot to do with the practical applicability of quantum computing. I didn't mean to single out Commodore or their CBM64, I really mean to say that there are plenty of examples of entire technologies that were hyped and then flopped, not just market competitors in a given technology that is already mostly proven.
Honestly a painfully naive article that should be from 5+ years ago. It offers a brief tour through a biased view of the history of wealth, an affirmation of the core function of currency (wow, $1 = $1), citation of censorious and oppressive governments, a handwave for illegal activity and excuses for extreme volatility. Really nothing new offered here, just the same tired hype points.

Meanwhile, no comment on the financial shell games (3AC, Celsius, etc.), the lack of regulation protecting individuals from institutional investors and whales who are free to collude as they please thus making the space predatory, the lack of consistency where coin/service governance groups routinely seize or manipulate money to their advantage, or the fact that institutional investors dominate individuals in holdings, exposing crypto to market effects from traditional currencies, or anything else.
The whole point is that Descartes was trying to discover that which is tautological.

He begins by discarding all beliefs which depend on anything else in order to determine that which is both true and does not depend on any thing else for its truth value.

As the poster above posits, he eventually works towards what he argues is the only fundamental and tautological logical statement, cogito ergo sum.

He then attempts to demonstrate what else must be true using deductive logic stemming from that single axiom, with greater or lesser success.

I find the meditations interesting and compelling up to cogito ergo sum, and thereafter less so. It's clear like many modern western philosophers he has the aim of connecting his thinking in some way to the sensibilities of Christian theology. A fascinating rhetorical exercise but a less principled attempt at a priori reasoning. It seems like you agree with this last point.

> It's not a philosophical statement. Please define think, and am, first.

I imagine that whatever definitions were given for these they would involve other terms for which you would demand the definition, ad infinitum. If this is the criteria for a philosophical statement, then no such statement has ever or ever will be made.

Wittgenstein would nod his head in approval.

When I was working remotely, I found working in a coworking space did wonders for my mental health. I had to try a few to find one with the right vibe/culture, but having people around that are working on different things, but that are also up for a chat, fixed a lot of the problems mentioned in this article for me.
I add it to the person instead.

"Five containers of the second batch have numbers akin to another five belonging to the previous batch, according to Borhan, at least."

This is much more reassuring because it just looks like Borhan needs to get his shit together. Optimism!
If you only use it for light usage there is not much case for "fastest". A good laptop from 7 years ago will have comparable experience.
There was a recent post either here or on Twitter where someone took the questions Blake asked the AI about how it feels to be sentient, and replaced “sentient” with “cat” and had the same conversation with it. It’s clearly not self aware.

I don’t know where you get the idea that these guys are dualists. Maybe Chalmers, but I don’t think so. My favorites are Nagel and Searle, and neither is a dualist or a neo-Cartesian. Their main contribution, I believe, is simply to show how silly the computational theory of mind is. Dennet may be easier to read because he professes something which inspires the imagination, and is easy to digest, since it doesn’t conform to the truth.
Why don't we construct panels that can be repurposed as building panels to build homes after they don't produce electricity?
But roof PV makes the grid more resilient, requires less grid, and the owners more independent. A huge portion of consumer electricity could be served with rooftop. It should scale with hot sunny days for A/C surges. It may be key to not overloading the grid with true mass market BEV adoption.

And the article seems to miss that wind is still beating solar from the LCOE charts I've seen. They keep making the towers taller and taller for better economies of scale.
Which leads onto computational medicine.

The advent of SPICE [1] meant that with the right models electrical engineers could simulate complex electrical systems, do sensitivity analysis and make integrated circuits that had a high probability of working.

Imagine a (quantum) simulator that can rapidly simulate all or part of the human body. The effects of medicines could be rapidly simulated, or the simulation could guide the design of treatments. Eventually, if the simulation becomes as accurate as SPICE can be today, it would be possible to go directly from the design of a treatment to its administration, secure in the knowledge that it is unlikely to cause problems.
