Oh, like when my mother had to spend over a year using her phone only while plugged in because the battery was so underspecced for the task that it literally could not boot the phone despite showing 80% battery, and everything else about her phone basically stopped functioning, and she couldn't buy a new one because they're $1000 and she's an average person without a shitload of money to burn?

Oh wait, that was her iPhone, that she bought because she needed a more modern phone that wouldn't cause her issues like android.
Oil doesn’t come from huge caverns that we could drop trees into. Oil is often deep underground, soaked into porous rock. So wood would have to be liquified before attempting to pump it into oil wells, and it ruins the well for future use.

Wood is valuable and other plant material is similar carbon/kg, so the low-hanging fruit is to take agricultural waste (currently burned or left to rot) and bury it. Hauling all that straw around burns a lot of fuel, so it’s not clear how well it scales compared to other approaches.
The LDP was helped by the CIA. The Moonies were not. They were helped by the KCIA and then by the GOP, who they trade favors with in the US. The only link to the CIA is George H. W. Bush. https://www.nytimes.com/1978/03/16/archives/unification-chur...
Planting monocultures of trees is probably not ideal for plenty of reasons. Maybe there is some argument for re-wilding, allowing land to return to its natural (or as natural as it can given the proliferation of non-native species in the adjacent area).

I've been doing some accounting lately and double-entry bookkeeping helps you understand this and other monetary policy. Money has to flow from place to place. Understanding that it's all debt being used to pay other debt, whether that be the wages you owe employees or the purchases for widget materials, is incredibly eye opening.
>That was the first he'd actually heard of it--humans had come up with it on their own--so he went and had a look, and then went and got blind drunk, because there are some things even demons would rather not think about.

This seems like one of the things you might say to diss humans, but which doesn't actually make sense when you think about it. I don't believe for one moment that an actual demon, who does the kind of evil things we normally think of demons as doing, would find human evils shocking, let alone unthinkable. The whole point of being a demon is being and doing evil. If the demon can't comprehend some human evil, he's a failure as a demon.

It can at most make sense as a joke. It makes too little sense taken seriously to actually be horror.

“someone to do something”

In this phrase, “someone” are only million/billionaires (1%) and “something” is avoid taxes on a niche, speculation on art.

Learn time series with a story illustrated by Stable Diffusion
We just published this tutorial about ARMA(p,q) models for modeling time series, and how to fit them using Python. But while it’s a tutorial, it has a few twists. First, it’s interactive: you’ll learn by solving problems and making choices. Second, it’s a story: you play a character in a plot that gives you real-life problems to solve. And third, it’s illustrated: we spent many hours hacking with Stable Diffusion, GIMP, and matplotlib.

This is chapter 3 in our interactive course, Everyday Data Science. [1] The first half of the chapter is free. You can get the whole course forever for $29. These chapters are a lot of effort to produce, so please let us know what you think :-)

What is your project? Raku has some cool features and interesting syntax, I took a look at it before the rename, but find myself reaching for Python for basically everything.
the problem is that bendable OLEDs will ultimately never be quite the shape you want. especially if you want it flat - there will always be a small bit that bulges out, and it won't be a uniform curve, it'll actually be a crease or a localized bulge; and it'll be that tiny bit annoying to where people won't want to have them, especially with clear rather than matte displays, because of the inevitable annoying reflections which move as your head moves.

bendability is clearly a great thing for advertisements, and I see a lot of those things showing up in buses and trains (curved banners at the top, like on the London tube), tradeshows (curved artsy-fartsy installations), car dashboards, etc. but before any of that can happen, oled longevity in presence of static images needs to be fixed... which might never happen.
Central Banking is a bit of a legal fiction to "legalize" otherwise fraudulent misappropriation of customers' money.

Using deposits as loans is fraud, and has been recognized as fraud for a long time, until governments (and banks!) realized that if they worked together they could hide the fraud until it wasn't a problem for the people doing the fraud anymore.

Fractional reserve banking is actually "fraudulent misappropriation of deposits", and in roman times, if someone's bank failed, the only way it could fail would be if illegal stuff was going on, so the banker had 1 year to make their customers whole, and if they didn't, they were beheaded in front of their banking table.

(most of them would generally skip town rather than be beheaded, but it's a nice public signal about how the world feels about fraudulent banking practices)

In the modern world, when someone's bank fails, they gaslight the rest of us by publishing _another_ book about how they didn't see it coming...

> I am trying to move her away from Windows

Honestly, I think the "why" is missing here. Does she have a problem she'll be able to solve by switching to Linux? Why isn't installing a fresh copy of Windows without the OEM crap sufficient?
Not exactly what you're looking for but in case helpful, I used Fresh/Deno/Deno Deploy for a toy project & have some takeaways that might apply more broadly:

- there's a bunch of mildly annoying paper cuts due to not running the full set of npm/JavaScript (yet?). I had to Google for and debug deno specific versions of libraries I wanted to use. Felt similar to trying to write Web Worker subset JS for Cloudflare Workers. Hope this improves. Though being able to address packages at import location by URL was neat.

- Deno Deploy was outrageously fast at deploying. It made updating the live site a joy compared to other FaaS stuff I've used

- I liked that I could process multiple domains on the same project (I was able to make 3 sites https://thisclowndoesnotexist.com https://thisbernerdoesnotexist.com and https://thisghostdoesnotexist.com live with their own domains within 5 mins or so each which was neat). Their https certificate tool was sometimes being rate limited so required a couple retries

- the deno runtime itself is fast as heck. I know bun goes even further but dang, stuff installs and executes so quickly it feels broken at first

- the Deno Deploy edge is quite fast, and there seems to be no major cold start issues. See https://bench.t3.gg/ for some comparisons (I found it fun use `fly curl` to test global response times)
Residential electricity use is around 10000 kWh per household per year (10000kWh/year / 365days/year / 24hours/day <=> ~1kW).

Meaning that on average, each household requires ~1kW of electricity.

I found this to be the best introduction because it shows how every function of the money markets is a direct patch for a previous catastrophe. It balances the Wall Street view with the Ivy League view, and shows what happens when they butt heads.

Maybe so. Judgement is subjective.
Seperation of languages != seperation of concerns

One could argue the adoption of JSX actually allows for better seperation and cleaner code as you can group all the necessary pieces of your component together, and use components declaratively without introducing some DSL seen in some frameworks like Vue, Angular etc.
I'm glad generics saw good adoption. My wish is that they improve the efficiency of closures so that we can use generic functions to efficiently operate on slices and maps. Writing a for loop just for checking membership is quite tedious.
Isn't that essentially what Vagrant and Vagrantfiles do?

Awesome!............... -_-
At my previous job I was debugging a problem that a client ran into. Looking back, these are some of the steps I took:

1. Recreate problem in prod - How was it triggered? I did a bit of digging and noticed that it happened when very specific conditions occurred.

2. Recreate it locally - Got an error message, i.e. `SomeVar is not defined`.

3. SomeVar - Why is it `undefined`? I started working backwards and realized that the `SomeVar` functionality was working as intended, but it's what was being fed into it that was the issue.

4. Working backwards - I had a hunch as to why the error was occurring when I started, and when I worked backwards I realized that I was partially correct.

5. More research - In regards to point 4, I learned what else was missing (i.e. why I was partially correct about my hunch).

6. Start coding - Since the issue was in prod, I put in a pretty shoddy hotfix. It worked, but it tacked on some logic into code that was already pretty confusing (due to a lot of conditional scenarios in the UI).

7. PR - I opened a PR, but to my Sr Dev's point the solution worked but the code wasn't clean.

8. Sr Dev chat - We had a quick chat, and even though the issue was in prod only a few people had it happening to them (the feature wasn't widely used). Also, unless we were actively losing money due to a prod issue, a hotfix isn't needed and we can take the time to write cleanly.

9. Coding - I realized that there was an even easier way to write the code without introducing confusing logic. I scrapped about 95% of what I had and put in something that not only worked, but was much cleaner. I also wrote some tests, as per the Sr's recommendation.

10. Updated PR - I followed-up with the Sr, who thanked me for revising the code and for writing the tests.

Although I reached the original solution and the new one on my own, having discussions with the Senior Dev was incredibly beneficial.

tree-sitter has first class support for parsing errors as ERROR nodes in the output tree. I treat these as just another atom in the s-expression.

In practise I haven't noticed any issues yet. I suspect that difftastic doesn't see many syntax errors because users have fixed most of them by the time they run the diff. When you look at diffs of committed code you hopefully have no parse errors at all.

The tree-sitter parsers could still reject valid code I suppose. I worry slightly more about the parsers getting precedence/associativity wrong, but it would be hard to construct an example that produce identical parse trees due to incorrect precedence.

FAT is for weak little cost-optimized embedded-microcontroller devices that write one file at a time to an SD card — which is something we're still building to this day, in the form of IoT devices. We don't really have any better option for this use-case; every newer filesystem is either non-portable, or assumes stronger hardware such that the overhead of using it on these devices would be huge.

I would note that one way to work around the cost-incentives of IoT manufacturers, would be to encourage them to externalize the storage-layer costs from the device's BOM, by focusing on getting "object-storage oriented" NAND flash controllers pushed down from enterprise to regular retail availability. That way, all the filesystem-layer smarts end up living in the SD card itself — which is sold separately. (It'd be sort of a second coming of the ancient Commodore 1540/1541 paradigm, where the disk controller presented not as block storage, but as, essentially, a single-user serial-attached NAS.)

From the post:

Fun fact: SimCity was forced to pretend that all parking lots were underground, because the game would be “really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots". SimCity’s lead designer explained, “I was blown away by how much more space was parking lot rather than actual store. That was kind of a problem, because we were originally just going to model real cities … We had to do the best we could do and still make the game look attractive."

I guess it depends on the definition of rich and famous. How rich? How famous?

These two doesn't come alone. They come with their own baggage as well. Being rich will make you, and your family targeted, either by criminals, by "friends and families", or by the government. Being famous is tiring. You constantly need to pander with people that you don't know, with papparazis, with friends of friends of friends, people constantly looking to network. Being famous without being rich is even worse. You just get death threats, hate mail, etc without the financial means to fend off those.

I want to be rich enough so that I don't have to worry about the future or I can do any work I want without worrying about money, for example, creating music, working on a hobby, etc.

I want to be famous enough so that the people that I care remember who I was, who I am, and who I will be, even when I am no longer in their lives, and live across the world.

Oh how I miss those days. Back then, the advertising industry literally scoffed at the idea of advertising on the "It's just a passing fad" early web [1], and most of the people online at that time were "content creators" of one kind or another, just looking to share what they were passionate about with others around the world.

Hot take: stop building communities around everything.

People are highly tribalist and banding together like that produces a lot of ugly outcomes. Communities form and likely won't go away, particularly the more people internalize them emotionally and integrate them into their identity.

It is exhausting to see a community for literally everything, even the smallest products.

Perhaps we should let products simply exist.
There was a research paper at https://greenlab.di.uminho.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sle... a few years ago that attempted to evaluate the energy efficiency of many programming languages and that paper got a moderate amount of attention on the web [1] [2]. It probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise but programs that require less clock or CPU time can and usually do result in less energy usage. This paper and this video just help prove that a bit more.

I'm reading it to my nine year-old, a chapter at a time. He is likely technically capable of reading it himself but he doesn't have the focus to get through more than a page or two on his own. But he likes spending time with me no matter what we're doing and he is having no problem understanding the concepts in the first few chapters so far. He particularly loves (re-)inventing practical applications for the concepts being introduced, like the flashlight telegraph.

As a developer, Go seemed so promising 5-10 years ago. But as a recruiter, I never saw any kind of stable movement towards Go adoption among startups.

Hard to tell why that was because functionally and programmatically it’s a really clean, efficient language and tooling stack.
My main gripe with Go is that a large percentage of first-party documentation is not kept up to date well. If you dive deeply into Go's concurrency patterns, many of the recommended readings are old blogposts from 2014-2016. When the behaviour of the internals change, these blogposts are not clearly marked as deprecated either.

For example this post

https://go.dev/blog/pipelines

should clearly mention that it can still be considered current up to the latest version of Go. First-party documentation needs to be held to higher standards.
You are naive.

I've known a number of people that have spent a good portion of their lives working in charities. They all have the same story. Living in near poverty themselves to help people in need. The one day they wake up and realize that the charity is not only taking advantage of them, but also exploiting the money they take even though they make it look good on paper.

The problem with free anonymous money is that the temptation to grift it is just too high and eventually someone in power will succumb to the temptation.

I encourage you to go to a charity event. Take note of something while you are there. How many beautiful women are around? I guarantee you it will be significantly higher than any normal place. Ask yourself why this is? There are a number of reasons but a big one is that many charities are simply vanity projects for bored housewives and daughters of rich men. (points at united way) Even if they do some good it is a highly diluted version of what it should be. The purpose is not aligned.

If you really are a good person and not simply patting yourself on the back for the feel goods of dropping a $20 in the charity box. I encourage you to take a much deeper look into what charities really are and how much good they actually do. Maybe you just got lucky and got involved with a serious charity at one point in your life but they are not in the bigger picture as magnanimous on a whole. FYI you are probably not going to find real answers on the internet. Charities are acutely are aware of that public face.
