That’s probably a good practice anyway. /bin/sh is guaranteed to exist, but there’s no reason to assume bash is installed at all. If it is installed, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/bin are all reasonable locations.

It is a better idea to do instruction selection at runtime in the code that currently uses AVX2. I recently wrote some docs for Debian contributors about the different ways to achieve this:

An idle thought I had related to this is that the real trick to scaling up fusion power may be to not try and extract the energy "through the walls", as you said.

You know how they tell you to "visualise success" because you need to know what it looks like to aim for it?

Along those lines I was visualising what it would look like if someone like Elon Musk was on YouTube showing off some sort of future fusion reactor that's "not just a piece of lab equipment", but something that would be dramatically better than any extant fission reactor or similar technology.

I visualised it as an enormous stationary rocket engine, where cooling water was pumped through a relatively narrow (~50cm) "reactor tube". The water needs leave a hole in the middle for the fusion fuel gases. The hole is achieved by imparting a rotation to the water, so it "spins out" to the sides. Fusion would occur not throughout a large volume, but at a small number of "pinch points" along the axis set up using powerful magnets -- and not necessarily superconducting magnets! To get sufficient current through the coils, the charged exhaust is allowed to expand through a magnetic "rocket engine bell", producing moving (and accelerating) electric charges. This current is recirculated through the engine to provide the enormous magnetic field strengths required, via thick copper conductors aggressively cooled with water.

Essentially it would be a magneto-hydrodynamic-fusion jet engine, using fields instead of impellers to achieve compression, expansion, and energy recovery to run the whole cycle.

The bulk of the energy would be in the super-heated steam produced, which could be used as in traditional power plants, or used as a bone-fide rocket in space.

Obviously there would be "challenges" to making this work, to put it mildly!

But consider that with the kind of computer power we can throw at modelling physics these days, it may be possible to use "topology optimisation" style tricks to figure out the required geometry of the parts to achieve the conditions required for fusion while staying within material design constraints.

If you ask me, a Manhattan-project style attempt at something like this would be a better way to "waste money" than yet another aircraft carrier, or whatever...
Sounds like you want pipenv, but that might be too close to conda
This is a pretty unkind reading. The author almost surely was using zip as a synonym for compress. Some people use "hoover" as a proxy for vacuum, even though they're not literally using a Hoover vacuum to clean.

Movies aren't "escaping" the Shannon entropy limit, they're falling well within the Shannon entropy limit for the appropriate domain of human vision.

Whether it's throwing out high frequency noise at one stage or using moving blocks and keeping delta changes at another, there's an underlying assumption of the "codeword" space is versus the source space. Even by the time it gets to the codec it's already "compressed" by throwing out almost all the spectra not visible to us. These are implicit assumptions about the domain that you've dismissed.
Even if the search results are good, Google is still a monopoly.
I put in an order for one. I currently wear an Apple Watch Series 4 every day, which I use for logging workouts and other health metrics, and as a daily-driver smartwatch for receiving notifications, checking time and weather, etc. This seems like a really worthy upgrade to me - with the parts that interest me in particular being the improved battery life, larger and brighter screen, always-on display, and cellular support (which my current watch doesn't have).

> I really have a hard time seeing who this watch is for.

I would say basically anyone who likes their Apple Watch (and there are a lot of us out there), is comfortable with the size and aesthetic, and has $800 to blow on a smart watch.
Seeing some speculation on here I did a breakdown of founder count for the S22 batch:

Founder count distribution

1 founder - 16 companies - 7%

2 founders - 154 companies - 67.5%

3 founders - 48 companies - 21%

4 founders - 7 companies - 3%

5 founders - 2 companies - 1%

6 founders - 1 company - 0.5%

I'm off by one (228 data points when website lists 227 companies in the batch) but should be "back of a napkin" accurate. Interestingly there are fewer companies with 4+ founders than total solo founders.
> what difference does it make to fix it vs making it all on their own?

That sounds like a big difference to me. The former would require government knowledge of every single transaction you make/receive, while the latter does not.

I'd be more likely to notice the option to install as PWA even exists if it was in the "Add bookmark" menu because I would already be in the mindset "I want to save this for later".

Being in the Share menu, I'd only see "Add to home" while already in the process of sending to someone else, so I wouldn't have time to check what this is (as it would distract from my goal), and I'd have forgotten the option exists by the time my task (sharing the site) is complete.
"Librate". It probbly concentrates the ice closer to the center.

With enough atmosphere, like Venus, and some libration, I guess you might be able to get convection cells going enough to distribute heat. But really, the galaxy is absolutely lousy with planets. if you are equipped to get there at all, there is no need to make do in a hellhole.

All of these dim-star photosphere-hugging planets are an artifact of how we are obliged to find them. There are certainly myriads of planets that just need a half-billion years with some algae to become idyllic vacation spots.

> There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it.

I think the answer to Python’s packaging woes has been in plain sight all along. There are so many competing package managers and systems that it is hard to keep track of them all. Of course; this is just what happens in open source, but the problem seems uniquely bad for Python. In Ruby, Swift, Rust or Golang I don’t encounter there being quite the multitude of options for each.

Work on cross comparability and roadmap to merge them all down to eventually one obvious way to install packages.

One, they're not very big. Solar panels are on average only about 20% efficient (per square meter of full 1000W sunlight). An iPhone is only about 0.01 square meter, meaning 1000W/m^2 * 0.01m^2 * 20% = approximately 2W. That's 2W if the entire phone was a solar module, operating at peak power under full sun. A phone battery is about 10-12Wh, so it would take ~6 hours to fully charge under optimal conditions.

Two, you never get optimal conditions, especially if you're out hiking. Because of the way solar cells inside a module are connected, partial shade (your finger, a tree, a passing cloud) will plummet the output. If you shade just 20% of the solar module, you don't get 20% less power, you get something like 80% less... the tiniest bit of shade has huge effects on power output.

Three, it's terribly inconvenient. If you want to optimize charging, you can't be actively using your phone (because your fingers would shade the module), can't strap it to your backpack (the straps would shade it), can't hike through wooded areas (the trees would shade it). All of this would happen during the day, when you're active and wanting to use the phone. And if it gets too sunny and hot, you'll overheat your phone and either cause it to thermally shut down or else just damage it.

Generally it's just much more convenient to get an external solar panel, maybe one with a built-in battery pack. For backpacking, they can both be in the same portable unit. For car camping, you can have a huge (foldable) solar panel plus a big external battery. Here are a few of both kinds: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/bes...

That way, you can just leave the solar charger at camp, in the sunniest spot (or dangle it from your backpack), where it'll slowly charge its own battery pack. At night (or whenever), you can plug in your phone to the battery and quickly charge your phone from the battery (which acts as a buffer/cache between your device and the sun) -- all without really changing your phone usage habits.
Because massive nosey corporations won't allow it. Native apps can more easily trick people into giving permissions which make it easier to spy on your device. Those corporations want that access badly.

Fun/grim fact that's related to your question about terrain:

In world war 2 the Japanese army used bicycles to invade Malaysia and modern Singapore and it was highly effective. It allowed them to continuously advance faster than retreating British forces on foot and vehicle. The key point being it was more viable to put thousands of troops on bicycles than to put them all on vehicles that could go through rugged terrain and jungle.

Under normal conditions, retreating armies move faster than their pursuers because the invaders are slowed down by destroyed infrastructure such as blown-up bridges or obstructed roads. But this time, Japanese soldiers on light bicycles were able to use narrow roads, hidden paths and improvised log bridges. Even when bridges were missing, soldiers waded across the rivers carrying their bicycles on their shoulders.

The bicycles also proved to be an excellent help in the transportation of equipment. While the British soldiers carried up to 18 kilograms while marching through the jungle, their Japanese enemies could carry twice as much, benefiting from the distribution of weight onto two wheels. “Even the long-legged Englishmen could not escape our bicycles”, remembered Colonel Masanobu Tsuji.

Maybe a dumb question, but could one use bricks of depleted fission fuel as the neutron shield in a fusion reactor, and swap them back into a fission reactor every time they become fuel-grade again?
It is the crux. There’s a latent belief that all reality can be measured objectively in controlled environments. There’s reasons why this cannot be true both inside and outside the scientific realm. For one, scientific progress couldn’t exist without a perpetually large area of measurements which have not been made or imagined yet; science is not useful unless there is value in the “hunch” - subjectively interesting but not (yet) objectively measurable phenomenon - something which has not been measured. Secondly, there’s the undeniable possibility that some aspects of reality simply can never be measured scientifically for some reason. The question then is, how else can that knowledge be obtained? To not adore appearances is to be both unscientific and un-beyond-scientific.
If it's the only way to get more than a day and a half of battery life on an AW, then they'll sell plenty to desk jockeys.

I like the battery improvement and the lip that surrounds the glass. But all the other features would be wasted on me. I could afford one, but can't justify the cost. If they'd released an Apple Watch Extended alongside the Ultra, I would have sprung for the former. Optimize for the battery life and scratch protection that most people care about, not the extreme sports that most people never do.

But you're right — this will be like a Palo Alto parking lot filled with virgin Range Rovers.

I really can't tell if this is /s or not. It seems to me it happens already. Reddit is a prime offender. Discord. Slack. My bank (at least they have some plausible use for some of my personal info). Maybe it's their app not their PWA, I don't know and don't care. Still mostly BS.

Again, this is /s right? It's real.
The use of "enslaved person" here is pretty laughable given the origin of "slave" as "Slav," because people liked to capture and sell Slavs hundreds of years ago (https://www.etymonline.com/word/slave). Also interesting that the Slavic word for "slave" is the origin of the word "robot."

Unless you fly internationally. Text messaging is notoriously unreliable when roaming. Also if they send you a text, there is no guarantee that it isn’t dropped if it doesn’t reach you immediately. Push notifications are a lot more reliable over international data and wifi.

There have been numerous accounts where someone couldn’t use a credit card overseas because their bank tried to send them an SMS that they were suppose to reply to to verify a transaction.

Also, SMS cost a lot more at scale for the sender than mobile notifications.
Do you really even need an app to do that? Just use a web site

Meanwhile this morning I was wondering if I could drop a remote control LED light next to the solar sensor on the street light across the street with a drone and fool it at night into turning off so I can use my telescope without being blinded in my front yard.
The following was an interesting sleight of hand to me:

> A PWA can’t read your phone’s contacts, send SMS on your behalf, or access any of your phone’s features that could expose your private information.

Seems almost like a win, right?

But repeat just this part in isolation:

> or access any of your phone’s features

You’re phone has a lot of features that are either unavailable or clunky to use from web tech, that aren’t privacy related per se. I do BLE apps. I do apps that operate equipment when there’s no connectivity or internet around. Or that need tuned performance. Haptic feedback. Custom hare sheets. So on and so forth. I would love to not have to code the same thing m not Kotlin and Swift. We’ve tried. It just fails to execute well in the end.
Lots of people actually just have broken AirPods and the gen 1 Pro's in particular seem to have a lot of extremely common faults that surface. Like the mics just being completely blown out and crackling as people speak, even see it happening to people on the news who are using them.
The most likely scenario is one you’re not considering because you’re a pessimist: It’s very bad and the effects won’t be that bad because people will come up with solutions you can’t predict.

Like when we were supposed to run out of Europium, or the population was supposed to exceed the food supply, or any number of doomsday scenarios.

I’m not saying the climate/resource predictions aren’t true based on what we know, I’m saying they aren’t true based on what we don’t yet know.

It’s certainly possible you’re right, but you’re not giving any attention to the possibility that you’re wrong.
If it ain't broke....
I think GP was being sarcastic. Nobody really thinks that.

Doesn't need to be that dramatic. Our Jeep got stuck in the Utah desert, and our guide had to pull out his Garmin satellite gadget to send a text message/coordinates for a friend to come pull us out. Lucky he had that thing. Yeah we could have hiked 3 miles over rugged terrain to a highway, but by the time we got there it would have been dark and we would have been exhausted. So we made the call. It wasn't life-or-death but it sure was convenient, saved us a lot of time, and allowed us to be back on schedule the next day. Definitely worth the investment. I'll be getting this iPhone for sure.

Taxing labor isn't theft but taxing capital gains is? How does it make sense to want to tax the direct products of someone's time and energy and direct contribution to society, and not want to tax the gains of sitting on capital assets while central banks pump them up?

"Stop auditing people who are making less than $5m/year in income."

If P(audit) literally equals zero, all rational agents will stop paying tax.
It's not taxing net worth it is taxing one specific type of property. Most of Jeff Bezos' money isn't in real estate. It is regressive in that everyone needs housing. With an income tax you can have a zero/negative tax rate on low earners. Everyone who isn't homeless (even if through rent) pays property taxes.

You can see this effect if you compare the effective tax rates of California that has a income tax to Texas which relies on sales and property taxes.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CdgZ6KOOGww/

California still has sales and property taxes so it isn't perfectly progressive, but it is much better.

I also don't really like how with property tax you can end up losing your assets. Let's say you work for years doing construction and pay off your house and then you end up on disability after hurting yourself. With property taxes you can end up losing your home.

I'm not convinced though that you are arguing in good faith and aren't just one of the few who benefit from a lower effective tax rate from regressive taxes. Why do you think a wealth tax is the best form of taxation and how would you implement it?
I dont think that was quite the right argumentation. Or at least not clear enough.

In general, the desire is to put the system image into /usr. A single partition, that holds literally everything you need to launch an os. If you can mount a /usr, everything else will populate. If you want to atomically swap system images, just swap /usr.

Imagine the counter: what would happen if we just swapped /bin? Shit would be a mess. /lib and /usr/lib wouldnt get updated in sync. /include and /share wouldnt be in sync. The idea is that the Unified System Resources ought unifiedly be swapped out. And the system specific resources(/bin, /lib, /include, et ceteta) ought not exist, provide no real contemprary value, and making image swapping a much much harder to accomplish well.
