Indeed, but if you say json is better and faster, you have to add all the costs, not just the parsing. Otherwise while json will not execute code, it will crash your program.

And while in python it's ok, in C++ you can still execute code in that way :)

I know commenting on downvotes isn't kosher but I really wish downvoters would leave a comment on why. It could be 3 words: downvoted for x.

I'm really not sure what is so objectionable about asserting that animal abuse is not the same thing as littering.
This makes sense to me. As I've said elsewhere below, the eye adapts dynamically to each situation. One's perception - the dynamic range of both color and luminance is situational and adaptive.

I know from personal experience of being fooled on hundreds occasions when trying to judge colors, color temperature, etc. despite my experience and the fact that my color vision is normal (I've never failed any Ishihara or related tests).

The law of diminishing returns is essentially what I experience as an observer, the more I grind my observation fine the more fooled and less objective I become. I now only believe my instruments.

Thus it makes sense that large color differences cannot be derived by adding a series of small steps simply for the reason they are in effect a form of noise in relation to large steps.

"therefore, perceptual color space cannot be described by a Riemannian geometry."

Perhaps Riemannian geometry should become just a starting point if for no other reason than it serves to illustrate the complexity of human color perception and the difficulty it poses in trying to analyze it.

Anna Lembke’s “Dopamine Nation” has a lot of interesting takes on the subject. One takeaway I got is that dopamine seeks a balance. Opting for pleasure seeking often ends up getting experienced as pain. An example of that is drug tolerance. Oddly, the reverse is also true: seeking pain can often lead to an experience of pleasure. The invigorated feeling after a cold shower, or how hard exercise leads to highs.

She is a great podcast guest, too. Her approach - that the people with the strongest addictions can tell us a lot about how we seek pleasure - has a lot of depth to it.
Having prompted to ask the question, I was then promoted to look for an answer, and it seems that someone has taken the time to write a pretty good answer:

Just a note that there are common conditions like postprandial hypotension[1] (or various other types of hypotension) where what you want is more, smaller meals.

The way a doctor explained it to me is blood rushes to the digestive system after we eat and, while normally bodies compensate for that via increased blood pressure (vasoconstriction and heart rate increase), for some people that process doesn't work well and they get a blood pressure drop instead.

Why does UNIX do this? Because of an error in the coding. That is all.

Are you saying this specifically or metaphorically? Because I suspect that there was a rationale behind that decision.

See also https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/clear.1.html which explicitly states that it clears scrollback iff a terminal has a specified capability. Which windows terminal being of CRT origin should have. I think the issue here is actually an intersection of some terminal nuance and windows team who blindly copied the behavior that some linux guys were used to because this knowledge was buried under their gnome defaults.

Iow, no need to blame unix and linux, blame those who picked one (stupid) mode of many and used that as the only mode of operation.

I suspect that for Windows 10 the window appearing but not fully drawn is a function of the introduction of a display compositor (Desktop Window Manager) in Windows Vista - this is also what solved the famous issue of Windows "leaving trails" of application Windows when they were unresponsive, and also permitted all the "aero" effects that Vista and 7 used as selling points. Windows XP and earlier used a Stacking Window Manager.

the reverse exists as well, a lot of jobs can't be done on windows.

Which is why windows ships WSL, to keep people who can't work on windows using it. Better yet, to allow their managers to force them to use windows even though they need linux.
Cool - this is a nice simple project! Here's some feedback. Lyrics need to come up on screen in anticipation of the music. That is, they need to be there before the line starts. Currently, in your display, when a stanza starts the lyrics pop up suddenly simultaneous with the lyric being sung. This isn't enough time for someone who isn't completely familiar with the lyrics.

> An answer like “you mean ‘how much power’ not energy because the first law of thermodynamics dictates that energy is never created nor destroyed so it can’t really be ‘used’ now can it?” would be obnoxiously pedantic and totally useless.

Whew — good thing no one is saying anything remotely like that!

The point is that power is completely uninteresting (in the original context) without some notion of how long that power is sustained. It’s not really interesting if identifying a face is a done at a bazillion giga-watts if the maths works out (as a function of time) such that the total energy used was a bazillionth of a 1 percent of a calorie.

The criticism is (apparently) conflating power with energy — nothing to do with upholding the laws of thermodynamics, or “using” (or not) energy, etc.

> It was this bill that led me to publish PGP electronically for free that year [1991]

https://www.philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/WhyIWrotePGP.html

> It was on this day in 1991 that I sent the first release of PGP to a couple of my friends for uploading to the Internet. First, I sent it to Allan Hoeltje, who posted it to Peacenet, an ISP that specialized in grassroots political organizations, mainly in the peace movement. [...] Then, I uploaded it to Kelly Goen, who proceeded to upload it to a Usenet newsgroup that specialized in distributing source code.

Symantec later bought it and things changed, but thanks to there being an open standard (OpenPGP) and RFCs, people can and did write compatible software. With varying degrees of compatibility, admittedly.

One thing I know for a fact is that, the actual MSG, even in small liquid form is abrasive, more abrasive than liquid salt, that it can easily scratch metals. In liquid form, I believe that, microscopically, it is enough to cross between the blood-brain barrier. Also, upon ingestion, you get this sudden light-headedness feeling (of course, it varies) or obtuse feeling. The point is, if this material is abrasive enough that easily scratch metals, and can affect mental state, I think it might have been damaging to use (or for long-term), that you need to either stop using it, or lessen the use of it.
If we had evolved without caloric restriction in an "easy" energy-rich environment where there's less competition for scarce energy and thus complexity and intelligence aren't absolutely mandatory to acquire it, evolution should select for faster reproductive rates by simply sacrificing complexity, not building some kind of more complicated support structure.
Environmental stresses are well-known to cause reproduction rates to plummet. That can be because of a lack of available food, but it can really be any sort of stress.
E-readers are good for linear fiction. Books that you read from start to finish and don't need to jump around much.

You can start with minimal installation and add what you need. Might require quite a bit of research and effort though.

Sorry to hear that. Food research is super hard. Lots of people definitely have sensitivities to foods (like gluten) that have real effects whose mechanisms are not well understood. e.g. epilepsy is often really well controlled by a keto diet - wtf?

Understanding your own body and managing your diet accordingly is a great thing to do. Sad that it sometimes gets attacked as unscientific. Just because scientists looked for a broad food mechanism and didn’t find it doesn’t mean these effects aren’t real.

Since the release of Proton in 2018 and the subsequent release of the Steam Deck, the difference is night and day.

If your last experience was 20 years ago I would sincerely recommend looking into it again.
If you look at this graph:
https://www.erneuerbare-energien.de/EE/Redaktion/DE/Bilder/G...

You can see that solar collapsed from 8.2GW/a[1] in 2012 to 1.2GW/a in 2015.
Wind collapsed from 4.9GW/a in 2017 to 0.9GW/a in 2019.

I cannot exactly "proove" which decision was exact killer, but of course any decision takes some time to have the full impact, as larger installations usually are planned years ahead, so any change in politics will take years to take full effect. But the collapse of both wind and solar are difficult to miss - and we rather should have a steady growth in both rates or at least maintain the peak rates on a constant level. At minimum one can blame politics not to have acted to keep up with installations. But there were a lot of decisions taken which were clearly impacting the roll out of renewables. And that with a known deadline for the nuclear power plants.

Some decisions taken I can remember:

- the feed in tariff was lowered. Even if that is a constant process, when it crosses the threshhold of no longer being profitable, there will be a steep drop in new installations

- solar started to recover in recent years, probably because due to the cells becoming cheaper so it began to be more profitable again

- as far as I know there was an upper limit for any subsidy, so another reason for a stop of new installations

- for wind power the whole system was changed, leading to a deep decline. Subsidies were auctioned off, but unfortunately not including a time limit for actually installing new capacity. So many projects "won" auctions and were never realized.

The 5 years alone wouldn't probably not suffice to replace the nuclear power plants, but you have to count in as well all the missed capacity after 2012. If we had just continued at 8GW/a and above, solar capacity would almost be double of what it is today. Pretty much the same with wind.

[1] Sorry, might have mistaken the total number on top of the solar bar with the number on the bar. But over 8GW/a is still pretty much it.
> It's also not just a private decision when my insurance health premiums and taxation pay for the consequences of their self-destruction.

This is unsolvable and consequence of existing in a society. Unless you’ve disavowed all the “unhealthy sins” and actively avoid all risk factors, maybe then you can hold such a view. Doesn’t mean others should listen you though…
I keep a bad memory of how slow XP, 2000 and even NT4 were on late 90s machines.

Windows 9x was a strange beast, being a VM running on top of a DOS hypervisor, but it was mostly C and inline assembly and felt fast, even with 8MB of memory and a 75MHz processor. Windows 2000 was quite less efficient and would have taken eight times the memory and twice the processor speed to achieve the same responsiveness. Even more with XP.

Nowadays Windows, the mere operating system, feels slow even on computers as powerful as datacenters of the 90s. Twenty five years of abstraction layers, subsystems, processes and libraries adding up, and it's getting worse (W11 vs W10).
> Even today, Smalltalk runtimes (e.g. Pharo) are extremely slow compared to other languages, now imagine how slow Smalltalk was forty years ago...

It doesn't feel slow to me. I regularly use the VM on a Raspberry Pi and the GUI is snappy. On that same system I even use it to solve algorithmic puzzles, and I've been more often surprised that it isn't as slow as I had expected.

So yeah, I'm sure it isn't the fastest language out there. However, "extremely slow" compared to other languages? It beats Python and Ruby most of the time. [1]

There appears to be many comments here, arguing that authoring web content in markdown is nothing new, and correctly so.

But this (along with md-page and mdwiki mentioned in other comments) is actually an interesting small twist on it. Regularly the conversion is done on the server side, and everything is published in html.

Here, you both author and publish in markdown.

What this library does, if I'm reading it correctly, it acts as polyfill that lets legacy evergreen browsers to consume the markdown files that you serve.

You can publish your content in a bit more simpler, yet still declarative format, without any javascript, and still make it accessible, in a properly rendered format, for evergreen browsers.

(Yes, you can still add javascript to markdown files, but it is relatively easy for the agent to just discard any javascript or html.)

The markdown is the source of truth here. No need for rendering everything twice for serving, once for html and once for markdown, and creating a point where their content might diverge.

It's straight out of gemini's playbook.

I think this is a wonderful idea, and if developed a bit further, and adopted more widely, could help push markdown to be a properly supported format in modern browsers.

The next question is, how would you get the second layer of github flavored markdown fluff (latex, mermaid, etc), that is generally not standardized, to be supported in browsers as well?

Last weekend the only mustard we find when visiting family in France was German brands.

So yeah, last years shortfalls in mustard yields in Canada, the current draught in Europe preventing France to increase local rpoduction and the war Ukraine preventing imports from either Russia or Ukraine hurts. Luckily we still have some stock, even mustard looses some taste over time even if kept in cold and dry storage and was never opened...
Yes. On the one hand the analogy is useful. Just like how physical training makes one physically fit, hedonic hacks might make one hedonically fit. On the other hand, while people might understand and accept that there are genetic limits that they cannot pass beyond, it's never the case for hedonic pleasure. Hedonic adaptation drives one to always look for more.
Install Linux or FreeBSD?
You can try growing your own mustard. I hear it's not that hard.
It can be done in a few different ways. Native memory can be managed as plain native memory (under the hood you can use Unsafe to access that memory) but the real advantage is that pointers to many objects can be kept as managed pointers and not converted to a native value most of the time. For example Ruby C extensions often use VALUEs to refer to Ruby objects which are normally tagged pointers. In TruffleRuby we use ValueWrapper objects to represent these, and maintain a fast map between native values and these objects when necessary.
Yes, but support for implementing block devices as part of userland is a feature of the next kernel, if I understand correctly [0], while FUSE that this is using is available right away.

De-emphasize - maybe, hide - no. Garbage pile that is average Linux home directory is pretty much result of 'out of sight - out of mind' practice, enabled by dotfiles being hidden. I wish Linux settled on single `~/System/` directory, mirroring `/` structure.

On the other hand, dotfiles convention is useful for meta/"parallel" data, `.git` being prime example - something tighly linked with abitrary file structure.
You don't take into account the social factors. People having a ton of tokens can easily freeze majority of them in the stake. People having a small amount of tokens won't be able to do so - first because they need them for a living expenses, second because they will be hit by transfer fees much more that people moving big amounts. This is all fine, but the system is deflatory, so this discrepancy will only increase and rate of it will also increase over time (accelerate). Basically big holders at the moment of the PoS switch will be the only big owners forever in the human history, and no new big holders can appear ever again.

Yup. This basically sums up current approach.
