There have been two interesting studies that further support the hypothesis of somewhat complex communication system. One was done in Florida with wild dolphins who hunt cooperatively. One dolphin drives the fish,while others act as a barrier. Such cooperation requires sophisticated acoustic communication. Another study was an experiment with dolphins in managed care. Dolphins were asked to push two separate buttons at the same time, but they could not see each other. So they had to communicate acoustically to achieve the perfect timing and push the buttons together.
"The tracing of zero’s heritage has been elusive. For a country to be able to claim the number’s origin would provide a sense of ownership and determine a source of great nationalistic pride."

As seen in some of the comments below. As if they personally made it possible. It's like your country winning a sports tournament and claiming that "WE" won. No, you didn't. You just watched it.
So much WTF in this case.

why the hell?
Licensing IP would probably do it. Oh, the other direction - just make some returns in the place with operating costs.
Yea I think the main issue holding nix back is lack of documentation/standards on how to do things.

Like the other commenter mentioned how npmlock2nix exists but it's hard to figure out that these tools exists.

Im hoping that flakes help solve alot of problems to make it easier for users to jump in. Then hopefully the documentation problem will naturally start going away as more people start using nix.
Because real world information has sub-second resolution and a healthy market should reflect that. It’s a continuous auction. Some markets are open longer such as FX.
It adds another layer - while NUMA is about latencies, Optane memory is about latency AND how frequently the information is changed (to minimize wear on the device). There are some obvious signals (disk caches would be one), but richer semantics would help a lot to make it perform.
I switched from Paprika to Plan to Eat this year and love it.

Https://plantoeat.com

It has the same features as Paprika but Generates a shopping list from your meal plan. Saves a ton of time when shopping.

The one thing I don’t like about PtE is you can’t mark off ingredients as you prep them. Paprika has this and I miss it.
I'd also recommend giving Paprika a try. In the grand scheme of things it's "expensive" if you are used to free apps, but a small percentage of a typical grocery cost.

Whilst it has some UI quirks, you can tell its quite well thought out and nicely modelled. The cloud sync also works well between my wife and I (as mentioned by another comment).

Some niceties:

- Grocery list additions automatically get categorised by "Aisle" (e.g if you add "apples" it goes into "produce"). This makes shopping easier, as similar items are grouped.

- Recipes have ingredients, which can be selectively populated into your grocery list. Then, when you're looking down the list it maintains that "link" (ie I'm buying bread crumbs for xyz recipe), which is a +1 over pen and paper. This means if my wife gives me a list, but I cannot find an item, I'll at least know what that item was intended for so I can substitute.
Rust is getting pretty popular among low latency firms. Many of my peers (myself included) would definitely show interest in a rust shop. OCaml - not so much.
> But they didn't commit a crime on foreign soil... they did something legal there.

Irrelevant to how a state chooses to organize its criminal code. If the act is considered severely criminal in nature then most nation states do not care where it occurred, nor should they.

> I still remember when freedom of speech was a right people fought for, even if they didn't like what "the other person" said.... sadly, this is changing and bringing with it dark times.

Lies by foreign actors are not the same as opinions or criticism of a country's own citizens.
They are an offense against the public and should be policed. This isn't about simply "not liking what someone said". This is about statements that have negative value; created for the express purpose of causing confusion and harm.
I go straight for the comments, attack the article without reading it based on something it didn't say, and then get defensive when anyone disagrees with me.
Interviews are very different than hiring. They still cost the company money but not as much as headcount. Some companies still interview when they figure out the long term strategy. This is consistent with the article describing Google’s behavior.

When companies lay off recruiters you know the cuts are longer term.

Amazing: you've used a thread about one of the freest, least commercial eras of the web to plug some cryptocurrency/web3 bullshit and admit you took over one of the most memorable trademarks of that era to do it.
> The skills and character required to be a succesfull developer are totally different than whats needed for C level.

I would disagree. Hiring for a small company/startup typically leans towards people with a breadth of skills. You need the first set of engineers to be thinking about the product and the business in addition to how to build something. Good leaders will also emerge from those early hires, otherwise the company will struggle to grow. Those early hires are often well suited to eventually move into executive roles.

I think the bigger issue is whether the early engineers want to stop coding and be in management where their primary job is hiring, strategy, and sales (everyone sells all the time in a small/medium sized company).
The notion that folks in NYC have figured out some “universal” truth that folks in Japan haven’t is the propaganda.
Just to be picky, if I remember it correctly, IBM's AS/400 (and its descendants, IBM i) were based on the idea of all storage being directly addressable by the CPU. When I say AS/400 was ahead of its time and, in some aspects, ahead of ours, I am not entirely joking.
But you don't have much evidence that the pots are the problem, your idea to poison their plants is a far more egregious property crime, and there are so many ideas that you could do first. I get that you're saying you wouldn't actually do it but christ that's such an extreme desire to casually float.

Krugman postulates “economy boomed too much”, causing the economic problem
People have downvoted this, but it's true. I've read more praise for Geocities from nostalgic web geeks in the last few weeks than I ever saw from web geeks while Geocities actually existed.

Especially since, at the time, web geeks who weren't starting out with HTML hated Geocities for being the source of everything wrong with web design. And then of course, half or more of Geocities' existence was as a largely forgotten hosting platform, after almost everyone who'd built a site there in its heyday had quickly abandoned it or otherwise moved on.

You are really going to need a citation to back up that the core goal of financial markets is to finance companies.

That is, in my view, at best an ancillary goal (notice that most money in the markets doesn’t participate in buying shares from the company itself).

That may be what you want the markets to be about but every other participant has other desires from the markets and the great thing is they can all get what they want from them.
Yes: if punishment was an effective deterrent, then the natural expectation is that there is strong correlation relationship between the level of punishment used and the deterrence effect.
Saying punishment doesn't provide deterrence only claims that punishment is not correlated with deterrence.

Maybe the examples shown gave the impression that an anti-correlation was claimed, but that is purely an invention of the reader.

I'd say that's a Windows 3 era custom implementation of a file dialog, using fine grained controls that have nicely modernised. The buttons and the scroll bars certainly aren't contemporary with that cute folder control.

In a way I see it as a demonstration of how it should be: the UI intended at the time of writing is presented using current controls.
Michael Lewis is a great writer, but the closer you are to the subject the more his shortcomings are exposed. I felt the same way about The Big Short and to some extent Liar’s Poker. He has an annoying tendency to assume that if he doesn’t understand something, either it’s completely inscrutable to everyone or simply BS.

(And to pile on, The Blind Side was the touching story of how Lewis’s prep school classmate, an Ole Miss booster, gamed the system to provide improper benefits to a high school recruit.)
One thing that changed is that appliances that used to be simple and worked by using mechanical parts that you could see and replace are now just one more thing with a chip inside. Watching a toaster work with the bimetallic strip that suddenly pops is appealing to the human mind in a way that "enh, it's just magic, like your phone" isn't.

I read this opinion in that blog of Austin Vernon that made the HN rounds about a year ago [1]. In the end his argument is basically "if some energy generation method has moving parts, it has to be more expensive that one that doesn't".

But let's look at the numbers.

Here's a study by the EIA that looks at the capital costs and also at the Operating and Maintenance costs of various types of power plants [2].

The costs that are interesting for us are (all costs per GW alternative current of capacity):

- solar without storage: $1.3 BN (page 175)
- solar with 4 hours of storage: $1.8 BN (p. 180)
- coal without CO2 sequestration: $3.7 BN (p. 46)
- nuclear AP1000 (similar to Vogtle): $6.0 BN (p. 107)
- natural gas power plant: $1.0 BN (p. 83)

First of all, notice that the natural gas power plant comes to be the cheapest, despite the fact that it has turbines, including steam turbines. So the general assertion that things with moving parts are more expensive than those without is not quite correct.

You can counter that the estimates are from 2019, and by now solar is probably already cheaper and it will continue to get so, and I suppose you are right. But the panels constitute only 18% of the cost of the solar panel plant, the rest being inverters, transformers, something called BOP (balance of plant), etc. So, if the panels go to zero, the cost of the solar power plant gets reduced by 20% only.

On the other hand, the same is true for nuclear: only about 20% of the cost of a nuclear power plant is attributed to the nuclear part, the rest to the turbines, BOP, etc. So, even if by a miracle the nuclear part were to cost zero, the cost per GW would still be about $5 BN. This is higher than the coal power plant, because the steam generated by coal is much hotter than the one generated by the current generation of nuclear reactors.

Does this prove Austin Vernon's point?

Not necessarily.

First, the fact that gas power plants are very cheap is reason to hope. If we make nuclear reactors that don't use steam (which is corrosive) but some other gas, then it's possible the cost could go down significantly.

Well, less than one year ago China hooked to the grid exactly such a plant [3]. It uses Helium as a coolant, which means that the turbines can be cheaper (they should be similar to the ones used in a gas-firing plant). It also runs much hotter than a regular pressurized water reactor (about 700 Celsius vs 300 Celsius), which means the efficiency is higher.

Can the US build such reactors? I don't see why not, see for example Xe-100 [4]. But the first step is to get back to the nuclear technology learning curve.

aren't raspi something like 40 USD?

They seem to be using the 8GB RP4, which is currently around 100€. Also it comes with a 2 TB SSD for storage which is probably another 150-200€. A 2 port SATA backplane/adapter is probably 20-50€, Power supply, fans and wifi/bluetooth antenna is maybe an additional 30-50€. Even the cheapest case will set you back another 10-20€. So all told the markup isn't as bad as you're making out. Still an open question if it's worth it or not though.
Ill give you one example. Just yesterday I stumbled on https://insanecoding.blogspot.com . Interesting blog, so I opened all of the individual blog posts (~20 going back to 2007) and will spend the next ~week reading them in my spare time. If I just bookmarked instead I would quickly forgot about it.

But just mentioning Paprika does indeed allow you to populate your shopping list from your meal plan, or from an individual recipe. I use this feature frequently.

Now Is Your Chance to Fix the Carbon Offset Market
Not the thing you asked for but there are services that sends you recipes & ingerdients. Hello Fresh is one example. It is more convenient and helps you to find new recipes and ingredients to use

Cons: They are skimpy in protein, more expensive and sometimes the ingredients are not the most fresh. But they often have a sign up discount, which makes it more affordable
There are APIs to enable HiDPI on Win32 and GDI+, and application manifests as well.

As for everything else, somehow the mess started with WinRT project, and nowadays it seems they got themselves into a mess via the business units that would gladly keep UWP running, those porting UWP features on top of Win32, and the remaning ones like Office and .NET that couldn't care less as now Azure runs the bank, alongside XBox which was never a fan of anything besides Win32 (as seen on the GDK release announcement towards the current state of WinRT support).

To make things even better now we have the Blazor team trying to put it everywhere, including web widgets.

It feels like there is a UI civil war going on, most likely caused by management KPIs.
I understand "customer support" to mean the role you assume and not that you are talking to an external entity called "customer support". My team operates IT services (think Linux boxes and middleware) for companies. Requests necessarily come in through a ticketing system. That takes away the emotions which would surface in a phone call. Customers think twice before they write something nasty down. But then there are burning topics, escalations, issues that aren't fixed to the customer's satisfaction which is often due to misaligned expectations from their side. My team can always escalate an issue out of their working level into mine, so an angry customer stops being a problem for them and becomes a problem for me. That doesn't help your case, just saying. I advise junior colleagues to never commit to an action in a conversation with a customer: take notes, write down action points and promise to follow up. This removes immediate stress and allows them to figure out their strategy.
Exactly, sugar gliders and seals mean we don't need transitional fossils between 'land bats' and flying ones, or between 'land dolphins' and aquatic ones: we can already see that evolution can get a similar organism partway there, and if we find some smoking-gun fossils later, so much the better.
RDMA is Turing complete, we just did not know it yet
My dad mentioned the other day that he had the impression that American parents “don’t really love their kids.” I think what he meant was that the western, particularly Protestant, way of raising children is very hands off. In Asia, parents are expected to subordinate their individual identity to their role as a parent. Sadly that makes Asians raising kids in the US particularly thankless—the parents follow Asian norms in sacrificing for their kids but the kids often grow up westernized and don’t reciprocate.

The issues with nuclear are the same ones you mention as oil only worse:

It costs vastly more per kWh to get energy from nuclear than it does from Oil (or gas or other fuels). And if you think getting people to agree on climate change is hard, try getting them to agree on big subsidies for nuclear, let alone agree to have plants (and waste stores) built on their districts...
That is so ridiculously not the same thing. The point is that Diabetes Type 2 is effectively insulin resistance; your body doesn't use insulin as well as it should (though it's more complicated than that). You can mitigate the effects of this by living a life where you don't need as much insulin (lower card, exercise, etc). But no matter what you do, your body still has a "defect" that causes it to not process (and eventually, generate) insulin as well as someone else.

A better analogy would be a transplant. Just because you are on immunosuppressants to prevent your body from rejecting the new organ doesn't mean you've "cured" yourself of that rejection; you're just mitigating/preventing the impact of it.
Might be easier to build one for indoor use only, to clear a room. First clear the room of humans & pets. Let it run for a while.

That also describes a TRS-80 Model 100.

It still calls files files, but a more meaningful all-ram distinction besides the simple fact everything is in battery backed ram, is that in most cases when a file is used, even for editing not just reading, it is used in-place, not copied from a storage area to a working area.

This is a 1984 device with 32k of ram and 32k of rom.

Partly this is because of the tiny amount of available ram, none to waste on copies.

Partly this is because the cpu doesn't have a relative-jump instruction, so binaries are not easily relocatable. So binaries get compiled to run at a specific static address, sometimes modified at install-time to stack up next to whatever else you already have installed, and that's just where that binary lives forever after that whether it's currently being executed or not.

So that flat model is actually driven by a couple of severe limitations.

The "files" are really only files for display in the main menu and when exporting like saving to tape or disk. While on-device, the files are really just areas of ram. They're always there at whatever address they're at, whether they're being used right now or not. For instance there are such things as BASIC programs that read data stored in comments to do things the language doesn't normally provide for, because the comments are ultimately nothing but a predictable address in memory like any other.
While I generally want control of my data too, I think if the small team has to prioritise creating final APIs (on a data model that probably still in flux) and export functions for the 1% of users who might end up using that… OR… building features and trying to find a product that has market fit and that people like to use and find valuable.. I hope they choose the later. People are less likely to try out (let alone choose) a product based on export functions than they are actual productivity functionality. Well done on the launch it looks really exciting!
