> it should interrupt the current computation and let you resume your work without exiting the application

That's not what Ctrl+C is meant for or used for. It's used to terminate the running application, not the running task within that application.

If you want to be able to "resume your work" then you should press Ctrl+Z.

If you want something else then the application should probably be listening for some other keystroke. "Catch Ctrl+C and do something else" is a pretty awful idea for the very reason mentioned at the top of TFA (when you press Ctrl+C, it's to get out of whatever you're stuck in, so that you don't have to go open another terminal and type in killall ...)
They are a bit misrepresented. Think of most of them as "we know today's theory of physics breaks beyond these parameter regimes". There is no "minimal distance", rather there is "distance at which our math model does not work". No need to assume that things go discrete at that distance. There are some that are in a different style though: v<c is a fundamental postulate (stated in a very cluncky way).

Monads aren't really hard to understand if they're explained with a programmer's vocabulary. The only reason it seems hard is because "Haskell communicators"(like that dude on youtube in the fuckin fedora) insist on importing all this mathematical jargon that's completely unnecessary. Then they have to explain all the jargon, and by the time they actually get to monads, you're thinking about what to have for dinner.

Now I don't use them for anything really, so I don't care enough to have remember what made sense to me back then. But if you know LISP, there's a good guide on the internet somewhere explaining how to implement monads in CL. It's essentially a PROGN that passes values around(IIRC).

We'll find out soon. Apparently Trump scuttled the anti nuke deal with Iran on his way out of office, and they're enriching uranium again.

Tehran says they're planning to level New York City ASAP (within the year). Among other things, they're lobbying to be taken off a list of terrorist organizations.

Yes, but they don't maintain efficacy for very long. The tritium bomb triggers have a short shelf-life.

The radioactive material could be used for dirty bombs, but if there's societal collapse, I don't think such a tactic would have much of a useful place for anyone.

Having had experience with it from a "backend for the frontend" perspective, GraphQL is nice because it gives you an API for free and does partly decouple the frontend team.

At the same time, with most backend GraphQL frameworks the decoupling will be very illusory, as in practice you'll have to tune the backend to the frontend use cases or you'll just end up with a ton of N+1 queries and terrible performance.

In other words, application-specific http endpoints have their advantages and let you have fine tuned queries for each use case, which makes sense for app-style frontends.

I think Nix is great to add dependencies to your project without relying on your local env or separate Docker containers for that. We use it for bob[1] and so far Nixpkgs proved very valuable. It's amazing how many packages are pushed by the maintainers, there are over 80 000 packages there.

One problem would be when you don't find the package on Nixpkgs and have to write your own expressions to build a package.

I think a 50 year old "lost" bomb would be a radiological hazard at most. Nuclear weapons require upkeep.

After 50 years, only 6% of tritium remains from the initial 100%. Any weapon using tritium (boosted fission bombs and hydrogen bombs) would likely fail to work.

Chemical explosives that initiate nuclear detonation also degrade. Successful weapon function requires an extremely precise initial chemical explosion, not likely to be possible with a 50 year old bomb.

I read a really excellent article once (which I think was about itunes or kindle) about how the modern content delivery business model relies on creating ambiguity between buying and licensing. Like for example, the seller wants to be sure that if you lose your game you have to "buy" it again rather than just prove your identity and continuing license to use, but they can still control what device it goes on and for how long.

So here we have Ubisoft taking away, I presume, some amount of single player downloaded content from people who "bought" it because they don't want to maintain the servers that confirm they continue to be licensed to use it.

Sure, the company needs to control their resource commitments, but this sort of exposes the whole shell game. It would have been smarter of them to just unlock the downloadables when the servers go offline. It would be cheap goodwill.

> Meanwhile, iRobot still hadn’t figured out how to make an effective stand-alone mop bot, much less an auto fill station or combined bot that actually works

But then maybe that's where the synergy is. Amazon is probably ahead of everyone on the planet with machine vision. They have the Amazon Go shops, and nobody else has anything that comes close. If they take iRobot's robotics knowledge and couple it with their own machine learning expertise, who will be able to compete with them?
Couldn’t this be a stepping stone though? It seems to be a move in the right direction at least. Once costs come down they’ll be more investment in the tech you mentioned.

Also this one does seem to have a good failsafe even though it has those risks.
That's the kind of infrastructure that needs to be available everywhere to make EV charging a viable alternative to classic gas stations. I expect this to be commonplace everywhere, bar any ubiquitous underground wireless charging facility. But unlike the UK, the country I currently live in seems to be 10 to 15 years behind in all technical developments, so I don't expect anything like the London experience to materialize around here any time soon.

Plus, while what you say is probably feasible for bigger cities, I'm not convinced yet that small to medium sized cities will introduce something similar anytime soon, or is it the case in the UK?

Just out of curiosity: how far apart are the lamp posts in London? How difficult is it to actually get a parking spot by one? Can more than one car in the vicinity of a lamp post charge their car or only one per post?

I imagine studio-era Beatles in particular would be difficult.

Microphone bleed, lots of overdubs (especially vocals), and repeated re-layering tracks on tape over and over due to channel limitations. They really were doing crazy stuff with limited tech.

I think this would be hard for bands that really fill the spectrum and don’t have that clean treble, mid, bass separation. Or recordings really compressed into a frequency range.

Now this makes me want to see what happens with like My Bloody Valentine and Husker Du :).
Um, no, they don't. They describe a jaati system, and a varna system, both of which do not take the same meaning as caste. The british conflated the two, and invented caste.

The jaati system was a system of hereditary professional guilds - so you'd have different jaatis for accountants (Kulkarnis for example), farmers (Vokkaligas), teachers (Upaadhyayas), etc. The professional skill was jealously guarded and generally not open to outsiders.

And then you had the varna system which literally means category. This categorized people into 4 categories - Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras based on their nature and actions, NOT profession. This was not hereditary.

The british had zero idea of this, conflated jaati and varna into "caste" and made it rigid by bringing out voluminous reports that classified each jaati into a varna!

There are some exit clauses (like Musk not getting financing from his banks) but they don't apply here. Specifically, there's no exit clause for the bot percentage.

Are you just trying to change the meaning of the word promise? Most people would agree that if you break a promise you pay a price - it might be a social one in case of a promise between friends. Or it might be a financial price in case of a written & signed promise, a.k.a a contract.

That's why I don't want to say "WE NEED TO USE LFTR".

But the LFTR features are what we need in next gen nuclear: meltdown proof, full fuel use / vast waste reduction, scalable.

Oak Ridge National Lab had a molten salt reactor that was closet-sized that they were working on. So it existed. Were all materials issues solved for a high temperature molten salt with all those neutrons flying around from breeding? No.

China is (somewhat thankfully, why does fucking CHINA have to represent the major economic funding for solar, wind, batteries, and nuclear solutions to global warming?) bringing an MSR/LFTR online at utility scale in a couple years.

But the point is I don't see nuclear being a viable solution unless it alleviates the Fukushima risk (unexpected meltdown) and the nuclear waste NIMBY issues. Scalability is necessary for economic viability.

How about the first sentence in the body of the paper?

> In nature, all motion can be described by the principle of least action: motion minimizes action.

It is wrong. The actual principle is that the trajectories are stationary points of the action - not minima.

Fine, you pedant, it’s ironic that a textually sympathetic review of a memoir lionizing the virtues of secondhand brick-and-mortar bookstores, while fretting about their continuing viability as a business model, would link to the book on Amazon, a online-only store commonly considered to be the primary disruptor to that business model.

Once I posted a super long reply to a super long and messy feature request: https://github.com/database64128/youtube-dl-wpf/issues/131. It's basically like this:

> First of all, thank you for your support...$blah_blah_blah

> Unfortunately, I have to say no to some of your requests. $project is just a small side project of mine. My approach to its development will always be to prioritize my own use cases, while also catering to the community as much as I can. As you may have noticed, I have already implemented a bunch of new features and made quite a few changes based on community feedback. Decisions on whether to adopt a proposal from the community are made by evaluating the usefulness of the proposed feature or change for me and the wider community, and the feasibility of implementing it in my limited spare time.

> Now that I have explained my ways of doing side projects to you, let's go through your proposals:
The reason is to scale teams. It’s not the only way to do it—you can also have vertical teams—but it’s a common one because frontend and backend have different technical considerations. The downside is the product can lose cohesion as developers get tunnel vision. Of course all big teams suffer from a version of that problem depending how the lines are drawn.
What you’re describing is auteurism. I think there is plenty of this in games already but you’re right it’s not as prevalent or mainstream as film directors.

If it were to get more prevalent, it might open the door for more original or unique AAA games. Giving a single person full control of the vision of a game almost certainly makes for more idiosyncratic games than the design-by-commitee approach many AAA games take today. Think more God of War (2018)s or Death Strandings and fewer Far Cry 7s.

But in my opinion auteurism is unfair to the rest of the team. AAA games are a joint effort, a director may have a singular vision but there are thousands of decisions made by the rest of the team (not to mention the labor it takes to execute that vision) that all coalesce into the final product.
The longer I do this the more I realize the part of engineering most of us enjoy is solving a problem in a novel way. Which means if left to their own devices engineers will recreate the entire tech stack every few years instead of using the shit we've already built 20 years ago cause it's too boring.
Anything can keep ports locked for a bit (if either side doesn't properly close the connection). That's how TCP works. Set reuseaddr on your daemon's sockets.

> > or that the soul inside you is the very same god you pray to ?

> Literally in Genesis. And god created men in his own image.

An "image of God" is not "God" itself, just as a JPG photo of you is not the "real" you. In Christian traditions the only person who is simultaneously human and "God" is Jesus, and he's the only one so far. The average Christian is encouraged to pray to external deities (Jesus, God, Mary, Saints, etc.) instead of recognizing the deity within. My understanding is that the eastern philosophies that the GP refers to consider the soul of every human literally equivalent to god, or at least an integral part of such. I think there's a substantial difference here, even if some concepts overlap at the edges.
Amazon is a huge e-commerce site that operates with brutal efficiency. It started out as a book seller but it is now a place you can buy pretty much anything, with zillions of third parties selling merchandise of dubious provenance through them.

As it grew from a book seller to what it is now, Amazon took a huge amount of business away from both the small booksellers that this book discussed in this article is mostly talking about, and the larger chain bookstores that were crushing a lot of those small booksellers underfoot at the time.

Hence, the irony: the first link is to buy a copy of this book about the virtues of small bookstores on Amazon, the company that ate a huge percentage of American retail stores, starting with books.
> It could even generate an algorithm so complicated it would be close to impossible for a human mind to comprehend the depth of it.

Okay... then some nefarious actor's above-human-intelligence neural network instantly decodes the algorithm deemed too complicated for human understanding?

I don't see how opaque neural nets are suddenly going to make security-through-obscurity work.
Yes, it's just that because it's an external process, DALL-E can't go meta on it like we can. So you won't ever get "appearance of consciousness" out of a process that depends on RL, imo, because you've located part of its cognition outside its brain and made it intermittent.
> Aztecs were burning incense around the conquistadors to hide their unpleasant body odor (documented)

The article specifically mention that people tend to confuse medieval and early modern periods when it comes to things like this. But conquistadors was early modern.
There's a difference between "best possible efficiency" and "efficient," and I would argue that anything <75% efficiency is not "very efficient." Especially since a lot of people look to nuclear for applications in space, where it's hard to dissipate all that waste heat.
> it turned out they're just a generic interface

Yep. It's a generic interface for the interpreter pattern. (That one code pattern from OOP fame that is as powerful as macros.)

All of the importance of the type comes from what it represents, not on its own complexity. All the hype people get once they understand it comes from learning how to write interpreters.

It is interesting -- 5/9 of the books listed there are clearly numerics textbooks, so it isn't surprising they talked about a non-cryptographic PRNG. Curious about the other 4. But maybe this shows up as a "here's why you should be careful what type of RNG you are using" type example.
Another possibility: intelligence agency has an unaccounted for nuclear weapon, particularly one made by another country, and holds onto it secretly in case they ever want to commit a false-flag terrorist attack with it. Such a bomb needn't be fully operational; a failed detonation might still achieve the desired effect.
> were you expecting to see burglary, rape and murder as you drove by that second?

Nope.

Actually, I was standing on the street, not driving. This "bad neighbourhood" was 50 yards from where I was standing. If they wanted to rob people, they'd have found better pickings where I was standing than in the "bad neighbourhood".

I didn't have a car; we were visiting my sister-in-law. I'm accustomed to walking everywhere, unless I have an inter-city journey. The town was Charlottesville, VA, but I was told much the same when I settled (briefly) in Richmond, VA.

> Someone tells you it's bad, and all you notice is the color of people's skin.

What I noticed was what's obvious. In a majority-white city, the so-called bad neighbourhood had exclusively black people on the street. And I noticed, for example, that every time I drove to work, there was a car pulled over on the freeway, with two black guys lying face-down, with cops pointing guns at their heads. I never saw this with white guys. My drive to work was just 15 minutes, but I saw this daily.

Do they actually do block-by-block crime statistics in these places? Because what I find shocking is that the granularity of this "bad neighbourhood" thing appears to be the block.
The content of the article was interesting but the writing style was stupid and infantile. You couldn't share this article with a colleague, a parent, or anyone who might not understand the "quirky" writing style filled with references to pop culture memes and expletives.
