Been re-reading Walden ( https://www.gutenberg.org/files/205/205-h/205-h.htm ) lately, so eyeopening compared to our strange "modern" world:

> And when the farmer has got his house, he may not be the richer but the poorer for it, and it be the house that has got him.

> It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have, which yet all would admit that man could not afford to pay for. Shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes to be content with less? Shall the respectable citizen thus gravely teach, by precept and example, the necessity of the young man’s providing a certain number of superfluous glow-shoes, and umbrellas, and empty guest chambers for empty guests, before he dies?

And the coup de grace, his own accounting of building his own house:

> The exact cost of my house, paying the usual price for such materials as I used, but not counting the work, all of which was done by myself, was as follows; and I give the details because very few are able to tell exactly what their houses cost, and fewer still, if any, the separate cost of the various materials which compose them:—

> Boards.......................... $ 8.03½, mostly shanty boards.

> Refuse shingles for roof sides,.. 4.00

> Laths,........................... 1.25

> Two second-hand windows with glass,................... 2.43

> One thousand old brick,.......... 4.00

> Two casks of lime,............... 2.40 That was high.

> Hair,............................ 0.31 More than I needed.

> Mantle-tree iron,................ 0.15

> Nails,........................... 3.90

> Hinges and screws,............... 0.14

> Latch,........................... 0.10

> Chalk,........................... 0.01

> Transportation,.................. 1.40 I carried a good part on my back.

> In all,..................... $28.12½

> These are all the materials excepting the timber stones and sand, which I claimed by squatter’s right. I have also a small wood-shed adjoining, made chiefly of the stuff which was left after building the house.

> I intend to build me a house which will surpass any on the main street in Concord in grandeur and luxury, as soon as it pleases me as much and will cost me no more than my present one.
Installing Python only applications is trivial. What you're complaining about is all the missing code in other languages which isn't controlled by Python and depends on the OS to provide.

This is why we created Linux distributions in the first place. It is not the place of every language to reinvent the wheel - poorly.

I never really understood the point of VCR+ aside from selling Sunday papers (or whatever day the TV guide came bundled in), since it was easier to just enter the parameters based upon when the show regularly aired. Then again, I used the VCR purely for what would later be called time-shifting. Recording over an original broadcast and ending up with a rerun didn't much matter to me. But the feature to skip commercials sounds pretty sweet.

> If you really want zero carbon you can use only hand tools and harvest your own trees.

How is that zero carbon? That's actually higher carbon than the regular way with power tools.

Human power is very inefficient, you'll emit far more carbon because you'll need to eat more. And hand harvesting a tree is also far more wasteful of CO2.

Although the "Python Paradox" does not apply to Python anymore (it has become even more mainstream than Java), it does highlight an important point:

If you choose your language based on "I want the biggest pool of developers" you are also saying "I want the most average and mediocre developers that I can pay for cheap".

Learning Clojure is probably the easiest way to get paid to write Lisp. Personally I prefer Common Lisp, but I know I’m a grognard. And I really do like Clojure too. Both have a very pragmatic philosophy. It’s kind of fun that Steele’s quip that Java was about dragging C programmers to Lisp has come more true than maybe even he imagined.

Yes, but that doesn't work for having one iPad shared by family. That's about writing software to be used for shared iPads.

iPads can be shared in a business or school setting and going through the administrative steps to implement that. https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/shared-ipad-overv... talks about how to do it using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server. There are various services not from Apple that provide free servers but we've seen over and over how a free service goes paid or is simply cancelled.

There's nothing on the iPad like Macs have for allowing multiple users.
To me it's an added level of attention required, having to be extra careful (as I'd be when reviewing a junior's code) with any code suggestion copilot suggests... even if it's wrong 10% of the time, I need to be on the look for lines that would just cause a bug down the line. Ended up disabling it.
Are you actually saying you are a 10x developer? Like you are way better than average? Because that pretty much kills your credibility right there. "Oh I'm right because I'm so great".

If you are indeed a 10x developer I'd love to see some of the great code you've written.

All the people saying there are no eSIMs, I don’t know where they are traveling.

I for reasons kept physical sim as US domestic, and used the eSIM internationally for years, popping into any random local phone store and getting dirt cheap local numbers with a QR code.

As a backup, a half dozen apps like GigSky or Nomad that manage eSIMs for countries or regions in case you just can’t find anything (search eSIM in app store). Haven’t paid more than 30USD for unlimited data for a month (or a couple bucks a GB metered) anywhere since they introduced the first eSIMs in EU and Asia.

Competitive spreads tend to be a function of volume (ie: liquidity). SPY options for example have very tight spreads while lesser traded options can have very large spreads.

Market makers balance positions by delta hedging and/or simply connecting trades. That means the direction of the market does not matter to them, market makers are not at all trying to make money off of market moves (they are making money by providing liquidity).

The 'connecting trades' example is common and easiest to understand. For example, one person is buying 100 shares, another is selling 100 shares. Both orders go to the same market maker and they are just connecting those two trades together. The time the market maker is actually holding shares is miniscule.

A slightly more complex example of the same kind of "connecting trades" is one person selling 1000 shares and ten other people buying 100 shares. Market makers will connect these trades as well, they'll buy the 1000 shares and then almost immediately (talking milliseconds) sell the 100 shares to the 10 buyers. They can turn around very quickly because the orders are queued. Sometimes trades will not execute right away even though it is well within a reasonable fill price, and that could be simply waiting for liquidity (eg: if someone is selling 10,000 shares, a market maker might do a partial fill if they can only found buyers for 1000 shares, in which case only 1000 shares are traded and the order would stay open for the remaining 9000 shares).

In this kind of 'trading' done by the market maker, there is almost zero risk, they are providing liquidity.

Though, not all trades can be connected together, which is a less desirable position for market makers in which case they create 'delta neutral' positions (positions that do not change in value despite any change in price of the underlying asset).

For example, let's say you are selling a call contract and there are no buyers. A market maker can still buy this contract from you without being exposed to delta risk. They would do this by buying the contract and then exercising it (creating a long position of 100 shares). At the same time, they open 100 shorts of the same underlying, creating a position with 100 long shares and 100 shorts, a net neutral position. Shares from exercising options are allocated by a clearing house after the trading day closes (5pm ET). This means when the market market actually gets the 100 long shares, that cancels out their 100 shorts and the position is closed. Meanwhile they were able to provide liquidity and allow someone to sell a call contract even though there were no buyers, and they were able to do so without any risk from moves in the market by creating a "delta" neutral position (any changes in price increase or decrease are offset between the long and equal short position).

Market makers do only make a best effort to provide liquidity. For example, if a market maker can't or won't open an offsetting short position, this is a place where there is no liquidity at all and you simply won't be able to execute your trade for any price (there is no market for that contract).

ITER if ever finished will have exactly zero apparatus to extract useful power.

They are not even talking about starting on a power plant before 2050, or finishing before 2070.

It will of course all be dropped long before then, one way or another. Either we build out renewables fast enough, or civilization collapses before we get there. Either way, no fusion power.
"Upgrading" to my Sony's was painful. Beforehand I had some cheap Chinese brand that had the best bluetooth experience of my life.

I could switch devices and the one I was using could connect up easy without having to do the whole disconnect from the other device first thing.

I suspect on connect it was also issuing a disconnect to the previous sender as well because I never had an issue of a device reconnecting overtop.

Multiple devices could be paired at the same time and it just latched on to whichever device tried to connect last.

I ask myself that about nearly every popular consumer item the past few years.

Companies are extraordinarily anti-consumer now, but in ways that indulge the customer such that they don't realize it.

I don't know what to say about it other than the anecdotal observance; companies won't stop the behavior -- it's extraordinarily profitable ; and it generally seems as if the public doesn't care. It nudges the perceived quality up a bit and the consumer doesn't bother reading the 75 page EULA, so they're generally unaware that they own very little of the product they paid so much for.

I find myself pining for the days when a consumer transaction was , generally, a simple A-B money-for-product type transfer rather than this constantly connected service industry that everything has slowly evolved into.

Sorry for the rant, I offer no solutions , only hope that there may be a solution somewhere that will give the rights back to the consumer while remaining competitive enough that the company that supports the people will flourish; i'm not holding my breath -- but thinks like the framework laptop and so on are a step in the right direction and a sign of hope for me personally that i'm not the only one with consumer rights on their mind.
It's also confused me that Peloton supercomputer listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloton_(disambiguation)
It's pretty telling from the replies to this post that people just want to find any excuse they can to pretend the VC boys club doesn't exist.

There are obviously some confounding factors, particularly if the batch of idea-only founders includes a large number of people with previous success in VC-backed startups or FAANG companies.

The best analysis would be to divide up the group into cohorts and compare against expected populations for the groups. (ie, if only 17% of people with FAANG experience are women, I would expect to see >= 17% of FAANG founders who got in on idea-only to be female).

Somehow, I doubt that's the case. Or they'll use the really weaselly language of % of teams with a woman on them, which is what I've seen from most of the big VC firms up to this point.
But it is an option.

This would be possible only when all in the parliament would agree and want the same policy and same law as soon as possible. This is indeed rare, even in dire circumstances like hospitals full of sick people and more coming, or energy crisis in Europe.

Democracy being swift like autocracy is basically impossible. Any pretense of democratic government action needs the discussion to happen, which takes lots of time, and this makes the action not swift.

Instead, the way western governments seem to approach these crises is that lawful process is violated by the government more or less, tough dubious measures are introduced more or less in the interest of the country, then some people protest, maybe lawsuits get filed, then justice system gets bogged down for years, and in some cases we get rulings that government broke the law. This usually changes nothing.
Measuring the temperature is the same as measuring the average energy of particles in the plasma, which is the same as measuring the average speed of the particles. Basically you do that by measuring radiation, doing it in several different ways, so you can test the accuracy of your measurement. This article gives an overview:

https://www.scienceinschool.org/article/2013/fusion-4/

Incidentally, the plasma is of such low density (ie. few particles) that it has little stored heat energy. As soon as the plasma touches anything it cools down and fusion stops. You're unlikely to get a mushroom cloud out of today's fusion reactors, as there is just not enough stored energy in them. (Might that change if they are scaled to the point where large amounts of energy can be extracted, a bit like the bang out of a large charged capacitor?)
Strange, it disables fine on my old Paperwhite.
Yup, Skiff seems interesting, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be open source.
> Storage cost is falling even faster than generation,

Citation please. The high demand for EVs and other battery-hungry devices has led to a situation where grid scale energy storage costs are currently increasing year over year and expected to continue doing so [1]. And pumped hydro storage is not something that will flexible enough for general deployment.

they can only extinguish by forcefully bankrupting alternatives. Unfortunately for microsoft, there's no such thing as bankrupting an opensource project.

If neovim's feature set can't keep up with the might of microsoft's development budget for vscode, and many users switch over, then it's a net-win for those users. If microsoft then removes the C# LSP afterwards (or charges money for it), neovim is still around. Those users who don't want to pay can move back to neovim (and may be someone would then start contributing to it again, and over time, the features of neovim will improve again).

Microsoft killed netscape by depriving it of a business model. But you cannot deprive opensource of a business model, because that model is not profit oriented.

Unless microsoft patents the LSP protocols and stops other people from using it (and even then, other editors do not die, unlike netscape), there's no real way for microsoft to EEE.

Google can deprive firefox of a business model (directly by stopping their payment to mozilla, and indirectly, by making the web protocols so restrictive that firefox cannot implement them properly, such as DRM). Therefore, google is in a position to EEE other browsers.
Not even close to the heat generated by the sun's light hitting the earth. Orders of magnitude different.

We currently generate most of this power in exactly the same way, but by burning coal and gas to make heat rather than by nuclear fusion.

The difference would be that no CO2 is released with a fusion power plant.

Performance testing through proportional traces
I originally wrote a reply here that I deleted because I realised somebody introduced the wrong idea below. Yes, the repeat() function on strings does what you describe.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.repe...

str::repeat() behaves exactly as you describe. "No".repeat(4) is "NoNoNoNo" and "What".repeat(0) is "" and so on.

Note that str::repeat() returns a String, not a str, because if n > 1 it obviously needs to allocate somewhere to put the String. As a result it is not available in environments which don't have String, like a tiny embedded device - for them str::repeat() does not exist whereas stuff like str::starts_with() and str::split_once() are fine.

> removed it yourself for absolutely no reason

I clearly stated the reason: to avoid having to require broad "read/modify data on all websites" permission. I purposefully decided to create a permission-less version of uBO for people who would rather not grant broad "read/modify data on all websites".

> You're taking a single reason that they gave, two years ago

The current documentation regarding the purpose of declarativeNetRequest API deprecating the blocking webRequest API[1]:

> Using this declarative approach dramatically reduces the need for persistent host permissions.

My goal is to create a permission-less version of uBO and this is what I did. I am sure this could appeal to some people out there, as many over time have echoed that broad permissions to "read/modify data on all websites" is scary -- it's a recurring comment for those who support Chromium's deprecation of the blocking webRequest API in favor of the declarativeNetRequest API.

So this is a content blocker for those people. For those who can't live without cosmetic filtering and all the other goodies, there are other options out there.

I don't understand what you perceive this negatively.
