I want to second this! Wez term has great support for fonts, including ligatures, and it's configured/scripted via Lua; pretty neat. It's got a great ssh mode, too (with `wezterm ssh...`). It's got many great features.

On Mac I currently use https://www.warp.dev/ and I love the editor prompt feature! The search/ai is helpful sometimes (I use fish, so a bit less so, but fish makes up for it), and the cheat-sheet/template feature (forgot the name now) is cool, too!

In Japanese, as in many other head-final languages, it is often hard to impossible to distinguish between clitics and suffixes. -de can only attach to a noun because a noun phrase always ends with a noun and there can be nothing between a noun and a -de, they are inseparable. On the other hand, there is no phonological fusion of any kind between a noun and -de (unlike in verbs, where yom-u 'to read' becomes yon-de in the gerund form). Because of this -de and other case markers are described both as "particles" and "case endings" in different sources.

In agglutinative languages with freer word order, it is easier to argue that a locative morpheme is a suffix because it always appears with nouns, but absent any phonological processes that bind them together, one can always write them with a space and call the second part "locative postposition". In some cases, it is even unclear if an agglutinative language is very morphologically complex or just uses a lot of function words.
The dangerous things about excel, imho, are:

1. Too many different places for functionality to hide. Are these numbers updated by external links? VBA? Pivot tables? Equations? Some addin?

2. Difficult to version control. To capture all the functionality its not enough to just strip the VBA code into git, you need to track a lot of other config variables related to the features in 1.

3. Crap accretion. Complex spreadsheets have a tendency to accumulate broken external links, redundant named ranges, and extraneous scratchpad sheets as people copy data around. This makes troubleshooting harder just by increasing the amount of noise.

I found the sentence starting with this phrase hard to read.
Oh hard disagree, friend.

I know “Excel is not a database”, but at work it often has to be. Using table notation to reach across to other tables is massively easier than trying to remember which column your data is in. You can INDEX(MATCH()) that without moving from the cell you’re in.

I guess it depends on the type of data you’re dealing with because all those things you list are things I’ve never wanted.

Related in that they serve similar functions, perhaps. However, while Latin is an Indo-European language, Hungarian and Finnish are Uralic languages. The difference is notable in the number of cases; Latin has six, while Hungarian has 17.
This article is about the standard beer bottles instead of the Normbrunnenflasche. But I'm also seeing more and more water bottles in different shapes, which is a pity.

Also, in recent years, single-use as well as reusable plastic bottles are getting popular. I guess it's because they are much lighter than the heavy water bottles and thus are cheaper to transport.
I was similar til last fall, had an iPhone 7 plus (in a case cuz without its kinda slippery) and upgraded to a 12 because the cameras are much better and I didn’t want to take a separate camera on vacations.

Screen cracked a bit actually, but I just used it as an excuse to get a new one.

There is also plenty of thorium easily recoverable. The primary problem is that we need to move on to next generation reactors. Fertile martial availability is really not the problem and will not be for a very long time.

With a thermal breeder design reactors we easily have 1000s of years of material.

And in fact volcanic activity will push new thorium up as well. The idea that we can run out of fertile material is mostly just not relevant.
Yea I was relieved it wasn't just me. I was confused when I started reading the article.
There are clear rules in English and Chinese. English is absolute so "yes" means I am. Chinese is an echo language so "是的" means you are correct that I am not.

However, I do see Chinese making mistakes in English and English speakers making mistakes in Chinese and I am not 100% free of the guilt.

In the question "你不是犹太人吧？" there is already a "是“ in it, so a native speaker would use "对“ or "没错“ instead of "是的". They all means "correct" but by avoiding using "是" again, the chance of misunderstanding is minimized.

No it doesn't. Its totally unnecessary and there are many much cheaper ways to get fertile material.
I've been in software long enough to know that these criticisms of the prices aren't new. And a lot of the things people complain about are improvements on the past, and came about precisely because old ways of hiring were leading to people who couldn't code (hence things like the whiteboard interview)
Exactly. Of course, none of this is going to come down on the heads of the people in the C-suite who are pulling down the hundreds of millions in comp to prevent, at least in theory, _precisely this scenario_. We've built a system where once you're above a certain point in the hierarchy, it doesn't matter how bad you fuck up; Pichai and Zuckerberg and Hastings et al. can just feed their own employees into the woodchipper and keep making stern noises about how everyone else needs to shape up.

> you lose all the benefits of lifetime tracking that are unique to Rust

I think I understand what you're referring to, but stop me if I get this wrong. If you put a bunch of objects in a Vec and refer to them by index, you have to be careful with operations like .insert() and .remove() that shift Vec elements around and change their indexes. Also if you make each element an Option<T> to support deletion without .remove(), you still have to be careful about indexes of deleted objects, because you might put a new object in the same spot later. I have several thoughts about this:

- If "memory safety without garbage collection" is one of the unique features of Rust, you still have that. A reused Vec index in safe Rust code will never corrupt memory or trigger a segfault or anything like that. It's strictly a "logic bug".

- These logic bugs only apply specifically to the objects you put in a Vec and track by index. Creating a Vec<Foo> and getting an index mixed up doesn't change anything about Rust handles your local variable of type Bar (or for that matter, your local variable of type Foo).

- These bugs are understandable for beginners, and you can follow what's going on with print statements. Contrast that with a dangling pointer into a C++ std::vector that just reallocated, where printing the freed object often appears to show good data, and explaining the bug means talking about malloc/new and the heap. Relatedly, unwrapping a None in Rust will always panic and will never coincidentally appear to work. (Your comment was comparing Rust to higher level languages, but I've heard similar comparisons to C++.)

- There are good options for fixing the problem. Beginners might prefer to put their objects in a HashMap with an incrementing key. There's a performance cost to that, but it's familiar and relatively footgun-free. More advanced folks might reach for something like "generational indexes into a slab", which gives you back some performance in exchange for making you learn a bunch of new buzzwords and figure out which implementation to choose from crates.io.

So yes, with those caveats, putting objects into a Vec does turn some compile-time bugs into runtime bugs. That is a downside, much like Rc/Arc/RefCell/Mutex come with runtime downsides. But I've heard folks describe it in terms like "turning off the borrow checker", and I don't think that's a very accurate way of describing it.
It doesn’t seem that arbitrary if it’s true that he was directly profiting from money laundering as described.

It also doesn’t follow that a private ledger would be banned any more than, say, credit cards or PayPal are banned. The thing which would get them banned would be refusing to comply with KYC laws, which is a political choice rather than a requirement.

I think the answer will depend a lot on how the startup was funded. If you get some great seed funding where you can afford to pay the engineers market wages during that startup phase, you might get a completely different answer than if you are trying to bootstrap and either couldn't afford to pay anyone (other than equity) or just a fraction of what they could make elsewhere.
barkeeper's friend is your friend with stainless steel.
Providing infrastructure that money launders could use, or actually do use, is not categorically illegal. But the law establishes certain obligations to try to mitigate money laundering. There are controls you need to implement, expertise you need to have on staff, a level of sophistication that your AML program needs to demonstrate. And there are enforcement regimes with audits and licensing to backstop all that. It is not a free for all.

The water situation in Britain is fairly easy to understand. In the
1970s we had an over-capacity of reservoirs. In the 80's Thatcher
privatised the water companies. Those companies then sold off the
land for housing estates that are now on flood plains and at high
risk. We no longer have reservoir capacity to meet demand.
Additionally we have thousands of houses that cannot be insured.

The whole shitshow is a consequence of short-term thinking and greedy
profiteering. At some point we (the taxpayers) will have to buy back
(compulsory purchase) the housing estates where nobody wants to live
any more to turn them back into reservoirs.

> To this day, I find photos of me (and just in general) taken "naturally" (without stopping things and everyone posing intentionally) to be the best all around

100% my impression too. Photos where no one is trying to "pose" are the best (with few exceptions). But my significant other disagrees. She feels there's no point in such photos. We've agreed to leave it at that.

In addition, I gather a sense of happiness curating photos a few months after the photos were taken. I tend to remember the details of such events in a lot more detail and for much longer. I remember much less looking at a picture of us posing for a scenic background as compared to a picture of just her, in the moment, doing something.

I now enjoy capturing 20 second videos of me and family doing whatever, with no one trying to pose, they just look at me with the phone and smile or wave. The background conversations captured in them string together a lot of precious moments and memories.
My partner and I are in the process of recording an Excel course because I walked past her desk and saw her doing her accounts in Excel … with a Casio calculator. She was reading a value, doing it on the calculator, and typing it back in.

She’s smart. She’s 43. She was a medical copywriter. But Excel: no clue whatsoever.

We just recorded a lesson where I showed her VLOOKUP and she almost cried with joy. “Oh my poor accountant…”, she said. Fun moment.

Forgive the spruik but while we’re here: https://www.learnwithlucy.rocks/courses/excel?coupon=earlych...

It’s probably not for anyone reading this thread but it might be for your partner or kids. And it definitely works, because Lucy can use Excel now.
I've seen this with the house next door to me, which appears to have sold for about 20% less than the asking price as of a few months ago. Whoever bought it lost a lot of money, especially when you take into account all of the work done on it in between (during a tight labor market).

Whoever sold it also didn't live in it, or even use it as an AirBnB, for months, even though we have a housing shortage here. I have little sympathy, I must admit.

There definitely are such studies. I don't have citations here, but it's well known that IQ tests or work-sample tasks are both the most effective at predicting on job performance.

Even aluminum canned soda has an aluminum taste, plastic bottles have an after taste.

Maybe we need to ditch plastic and aluminum packaging for bottles like we used to.

I still buy plenty of drinks in plastic but if I have an option for the same price I'll get it in glass, for instance grape jelly. It's roughly the same cost for plastic or glass.

France did a good job building nuclear reactor with existing technology and refining them.

However they have done a really, really poor job in developing and rolling out next generation technology.

If they had continued to build and evolve the technology they would not only not have the problems they have now.

Unfortunately government lead efforts are not always very innovative and the French population got infect by some of the same anti-nuclear sentiment as other places.
Have you tried XLOOKUP?

I like it more than index match.
This is true, at the moment. My concern is that things change over time, but what is the likelihood that the data is going away, or that the spying will suddenly stop? It seems almost inevitable that abuse will increase over time.
the key is warm it up over medium low heat for me on cast iron for at last two minutes (I use the water test usually) then put in some butter/oil and do your thing. has to be hot, but not too hot. has to be well seasoned of course.
Unfortunately with electric stovetops, pans only get heated under the electric source. I love my large cast iron frying pan but only getting heat in the center makes cooking with it a pain/doesn't work well. Gas stoves don't have this problem as the heat from the burner rises up and around the pan heating it all up.

How a scandal in spider biology upended researchers’ lives
I read different take on that. There is a recent hypothesis that humans has a budget of energy that is spent each day independent of calorie intake, like 2500 kkal for a male, unless the body switches to the starvation mode with persistent multi-months calorie deficit.

If one does not do a physical activity and does not spent energy to warm the body, the body instead spends that energy budget on various expensive activities like synthesis of hormones (like testosterone for males) or to activate immune system more than necessary leading to asthma. But immune system for normal function does not require much energy and as long as one eats enough, the persistent cold exposure should not affect it.
The important lesson to draw from the contorted justification for warrantless wiretaps is that this happens all the time. Some have been suckered into thinking something like an "originalist" or "textualist" interpretation of the US constitution is somehow a real thing.

It's not. In fact, it's a fairly modern invention from the Nixon era created with the expressed purpose of rationalizing a socially conservative agenda.

All of this stuf is, essentially, completely made up. The fact that we have civil asset forfeiture (ie legalized theft) should tell you everything. It quite literally says "unreasonable search and seizures". How is this not a 4th Amendment violation?

I'll tell you how: the goal was to OK civil asset forfeiture so the meaning of words were contorted until a sufficient justification was found. There is no textual interpretation going on anywhere. None.

We see this with the legal justification for NSA warrantless wiretaps too. Metadata isn't a "search". Somehow the government can record who you spoke to, when and for how long but not the content and that's still not a "search" (in the 4th Amendment sense). Why? Because the whole thing is completely made up.
There are a lot of connectors[1], both MS and non-MS but I think "open to everyone" is a different thing. Of course it's a lock-in. They're not doing this to be nice. What makes it an easy decision for us is that upper management already decided to lock us in (requests for getting non-approved software installed on a company laptop can take 3+ months to process...).
