Leaving aside that the claims there need to be taken with a grain of salt since there are equal comparisons for most other engines:

There is absolutely no need for SQLlite compatibility in WordPress ecosystem. That is 50% of the web. There is no business, user, or programming case that would require it.

The proposition that a software should support something because a browser or a handheld supports it is illogical from the start. Why.

This sounds very cool - it's interesting to hear what projects lie further down this trail.

I was initially looking at the Arty board, as it was referenced by a text book - all the exercises were based on it. It's a bit more pricey than the ice40 (enough to force a comparison against other boards), but it certainly looks more capable.
A handful of observations:

1) the dispersion of outcomes is quite large, I know people at fully virtual startups that are having great success, I also know that some of the governmental organizations I’ve interacted with have literally accomplished nothing in the two years since they’ve “gone remote”

2)I’d posit that a team’s ability to work remotely is a function of 1) experience (few junior employees that are learning on the job), 2) caliber of employee (white shoe lawyers vs say the accounts payable department)

3) while I had a positive experience with remote work during the pandemic, if I were senior leadership I’d have real concerns around long term implications for employee development, company culture, and productivity
There are cameras in the latest Roombas already. They're actually quite helpful: they're used to detect if it's about to run into something it shouldn't, like power cables, cloths, or pet accidents. With just the pressure sensor some things won't trigger the "back away" response that really should have.
Then perhaps the issue is the work and the pay, not the worker. I’ve found unmotivated people can appear incompetent or lazy, but it’s just a motivation issue that disappears once motivation returns.

I think the fact that our (Britain’s) prime minister has to go to someone else, someone well travelled with extensive contact with leaders around the world, ideally who’s seen prime ministers come and go, and explain themselves and answer for their actions is an incredibly good thing.

If we ever end up with a head of state that loses the trust of the people, then fine. On that day let’s ditch the monarchy. If it’s not working and we can’t fix it sure. At that point we should find a new way, and our monarchs should know that. I think so far the queen and our new King do know that. Until then as a pragmatist I see no need to upend the status quo.

The proposal mentions improving performance, I'm curious if anyone has an "ideal" set up for WordPress architecture? There are so many server configurations and caching solutions out there.
They're using chrome and browsing the web - all their favorite sites work. They switch to a new browser and some of the sites stop working correctly.

There are a couple of implicit assumptions here that I think should be unpacked;

First, you're assuming that users have favorite websites, and that those sites wouldn't work. As I said in my post, so long as the browser worked with standards compliant modern websites I think that would be fine ... and that would cover 99.9% of user's favorite websites. People don't carry on using old, unmaintained (or even maintained) sites for a particularly long time. I don't believe people return to old websites that haven't been maintained very much. I don't think many users would even notice if their browser stopped supporting things that browser developers consider edge cases that eat up dev time.

Secondly, you're assuming that users who choose a browser like Ladybird wouldn't understand the choice they're making. Of course they would. They could still make that choice though. The idea of trading out-of-standards compatibility for increased privacy is actually really appealing to a lot of people. Hell, a lot of people see out-of-standards compatibility as a bug rather than a feature.
and this is a hobby project that isn't ready for real world usage anyway, and they're planning to port it to a memory safe language long term. It's not really a fair comparison, and it's not like this is a project with commercial ambitions anyway.
Its pretty much for ceremony. In most cases, the Prime Minister or President would be give the duties, if there are any. The article mentioned Barbados gave the duties to the President.
>If you have your own web server, make sure they respect Range headers and respond with the requested chunks.

This is a pro on the HLS/DASH type of content. Even if the server doesn't respect ranges, this is still covered by the segment based encoding of HLS/DASH. Instead of asking the server to give a specified portion of a file, the playlists just requests a specific segment.
A computer is a binary logic playback device.

It is an extremely useful tool in a multitude of situations. But it is about as "intelligent" as a hammer.

Nothing illustrates this better than attempting to apply it to real time judgment and decision making tasks involving an endless number of possible scenarios.

It is an exercise in futility. No matter how hard you try, edge cases still exist that that are unaccounted for. And with something like FSD, these can be deadly.

FSD should never be released to the public until the software developers are willing to put their own lives on
the line and test it over an extended period of time.
I think it's just ambiguously written. The way I first read it, I thought the author was indeed referring to SQLite.
That's why I'm doing this with an ESP32 instead of an RPi.

The ESP32 has the builtin capability to deep sleep and only draw a few uA of current. In addition, WaveShare offers existing micropython libraries, so it's easy to just flash an ESP32 board with micropython, get your data from an API, format it and go to sleep after displaying it. There are lots of boards with onboard LiIon management, this this setup is very easy to do.
I am not sure of reasoning behind the downvotes on your comment.

I am Canadian and I do not have a good answer either of why we have a head of state aside from historical tradition.

1985, not 1976, though. GNU Emacs is just one of the many emacsen and doesn't share code with previous versions.

That said, it's interesting how for example original keybindings from 1976 still survive, despite being effectively a result of a quick email poll and scavenging of people's dotfiles.
I think the obvious bullshit in this is in companies which outsource overseas. Somehow it's fine to work remotely with people in India or China but it's not ok to work with someone in your own timezone....
Those are the only variation I see around now. Unless you could strip-malls, which do fine owing to density/accessibility.

They should all be a single commit by the end.
Intel's stock coolers were always a joke and people usually switched it out for something else. It might be good for them to bring some decent stock coolers to the entry-mid level models like what AMD does.

But really doesn't make sense including a stock cooler for the i9 lineup though, since that monster of a CPU will defeat probably every mid-level air cooler and would require a beefy Noctua or something similar...
Sure, I think that's a very plausible explanation. It also points to specific, testable policy changes. For example, a government could build a low cost (subsidized), healthy competitor to fast food. Alternatively, a government could implement a comprehensive "sin tax" scheme on "low quality" calories coupled with expanded food stamps (to ensure the poorest people can afford healthy alternatives). Governments could even go into food desserts and open health-focused grocery stores. We could see if low cost/low quality calories are the issue via a legislative experiment.
I should have included more context.

The average visitor downloads about half the video (based on the bandwidth usage stats). Unfortunately because of the nature of the page people tend to linger.

That page gets a million+ hits a month and it's already using adaptive bitrate and resolution. Which the pipeline I mentioned can support.

It's just a bad design IMO but I haven't been able to convince them to change it since the client believes (and may be right) that the video increases their sales enough per month to be worth it.

It's all about your use case. If they were monetizing that video they would only need a penny per view to make a profit.

In general, yes, but beverage intake results can vary a lot based on behavioral factors. If one frequently drinks sugary beverages or even alcohol to attempt to sate a hunger drive (e. g., due to leptin resistance), it could dramatically reduce intake of those things. But if intake of those beverages are driven by other factors such as poor judgement in beverage selection for hydration or alcoholism, it's not likely going to result in much of a change.

As far as medical solutions go, something like naltrexone is probably a better fit for discouraging unhealthy food/beverage selection, especially (but not necessarily) when paired with bupropion. The combo dramatically blunts the positive neurochemical effects of eating artificially sweet/salty/fat foods + drinking alcohol (and nearly eliminates the perceptible benefits of alcohol as well - it's a very surreal experience).
Probably refers more to corporate real estate interests. Just because people stop commuting to work doesn’t mean they will stop eating out. Maybe they won’t be located in the same places, but there will still be demand for food, coffee, etc. What doesn’t persist is the demand for giant corporate offices, and so there are some people who would be stuck holding some massive bags if the office real estate demand becomes permanently reduced.
Counterpoint: my team has onboarded two new hires, and it’s gone well. Mostly because they are not depending on work for their social life, so normal daily interactions via video calls has been sufficient for them to integrate.
.NET has added multiple C# language versions, a rewrite of the dominant language surface (Span instead of arrays/IEnumerable) and years of investment of a low level stack (http server, postgres driver and socket layers) to overcome heap allocations in favor of performance. It executed in scale what the article suggests.

The multi generation heap is irrelevant at that scale mentioned in the article.

Well done on getting things to where you got them, it's tough to get anywhere around $1k/MRR!

Some feedback:
Your homepage is focused on all the features of what the software does. I'm super technical and someone that signs up for SaaS all the time (plus angel invests in B2B SaaS companies), and I can't quite understand what you're software really does based on the site copy.

Speak more to the pain-points. I'm someone that is an early adopter and this sounds up my alley, but I'm left confused by what why I would even sign up for your service, and I'm giving it more time and attention to try and figure it out than most.

What is the ideal customer profile? What pain-points are your solution solving for your existing customers? I'm actually just genuinely curious. But also take those answers and make them more clear on the site versus just listing the features.
I lived in SE Asia for a while. Obesity is almost non-existent, though rapidly increasing for children.

I tried to figure out why. Was it lifestyle? More manual labor? No, even office workers weren't obese. Running was viewed as some weird western habit. Few people went to the gym. Most just went for walks for exercise.

Was it diet? Maybe. But plenty of local foods weren't exactly healthy. Mostly processed carbs. Lots of salt. Plenty of deep fried foods.

Then after eating like a local for a while I realized it. Portion size. I'd say the average meal is maybe half the portion size you'd get in the US. I'd go out to eat at a restaurant and think "I'm not that hungry", then order something anyways. But it was never a lot of food. Very common for people to have a soup dish for lunch - maybe a few strips of meat, an egg, a handful of noodles and ton of vegetables. Add it all up and it's not many calories.

It looked to me like people weren't obese because they ate less. But that was the societal norm. Sure people would gorge themselves at special events like weddings or fancy dinners out. But most of the time they were eating meals of maybe 400-500 calories each.
> I didnt say it was. However, France (Areva) making a "bad contract" is why this plant exists at all.

If Areva did not make such a low bid they would have probably chosen another bid by another provider.
They're trying to do that with a local mall. One of the main objections of the city council is that new residents cost them money in terms of necessary services like schools, whereas the mall itself is a cash cow because of the sales tax, with minimal city services for the mall.

It's taken as a given that housing is generally too expensive for the mall workers to live nearby...
This is great! Beautifully designed and effective. I'll definitely be trying this out.
You made quite a few assumptions there.

She’s a microbiologist. There aren’t any private sector jobs for her around this area unfortunately. It’s either the state or the university (also the state).

She applied and went through the interview process just like anyone else. There was no “political appointment.”

She isn’t allowed to work from home simply because one individual doesn’t like it. Her director refuses to allow it while the director in charge of the other side of the hallway does allow it.

It’s the result of one man imposing his will on others.

I don’t think describing mathematics as a tool do them any justice. Mathematics are an endeavour in and of themselves. It’s just an interesting subject.

I think the surprising part of mathematics, where people are tempted to see the divine at least since the Pythagorean, is in how much unexpected order emerge from so few rules. Small axiomatic systems give rise to very advanced theorems. Abstractions which looked very different join in unexpected and perplexing way. I think that where the beauty of mathematics lie: they reveal connections.

They stopped selling some of their "specialty" pizzas and removed their component ingredients from their menu. Worse, but rarely, the pizza would arrive a little bit doughy, like it wasn't fully cooked.

For the former, I don't know why it was happening -- guess I could ask -- but I suspect they're having trouble sourcing those ingredients at acceptable prices. For the latter... we'll, that's just laziness and inattention.
I would be happy to use a new browser as long as it supports ad blocking.

TFA does mention some points that address your "why"; the ones that most speak to me the most are:

> WordPress’s minimum requirements would be a simple PHP server, without the need for a separate database server.

> SQLite support enables lower hosting costs, decreases energy consumption, and lowers performance costs on lower-end servers.

This can be translated to lower operational overhead and faster loading times for small-database sites, and that equals money.
People are born with predispositions. He practiced, but also had a gift.

Even if Donald Knuth spent double the time running than Usain Bolt, he could never even get close to 10 seconds.

If any Kardashian spent double the time studying maths than Donald Knuth, they would probably still not be able to solve a simple first degree differential equation.
That would probably require demolishing or substantially remodelling existing buildings. At which point it's probably cheaper to build on an empty lot.
Your comparison is moot as nobody is forcing you to buy the most gas guzzling chips Intel and AMD make as those are exclusively for enthusiasts who want to have the best of the best with no regard for value for money or efficiency.

But Intel and AMD also make enough chips with very good efficiency for the average folk who don't need to set benchmark records.

The frame buffering is a physical feature of the CCD. It actually has twice the number of lines, but half of them are behind a mask so they will never be exposed. When the exposure ends, it rapidly shifts the accumulated electrons from the exposed lines into the area with unexposed lines. From there, they can be read out by the ADC while another exposure is in progress.

There needs to be a minimum set of expectations set. Working from home doesnt mean one shouldn't be available. I think the issue at hand is that either those people dont understand that you must be available just like in an office - or better - or they do but are taking the piss. I’d make clear what is expected of them and if they dont meet the requirements well… thats just poor performance on their part and you can find better people. I am all pro wfh and better rights but it goes both ways. Companies are not charities.
Just like the Rust executable is still on disk. Sure, if it is running, it is memory mapped, but it can still be paged out. This is not theoretical. In practice, upon request, the probability of finding the static page in cache should be similar to the probability of the executable not being paged out. (That's true as long as the actual data is the same, and the differing factors, like the size of the web server executable, are small compared to the amount of free memory.)
Are we talking about real optimizations? I remember some years ago (with v27.1?) there were some solution for long lines introduced which basically came down to just deactivating certain features like fontlock, etc.
Yep, and I truly believe that they've made something great.

But the onus is on them to provide evidence that they did so.

Otherwise, I can stand up and say: "this font makes reading slower and causes more mistakes" and it's a pissing contest between me and them rather than a matter than can be settled.
No we don't need to throw democracy and regulations overboard, but we do need policies that reflect the urgency of the situation. Europe needs be entirely off of Russian gas for the foreseeable future. And unfortunately in the short run this means bringing some coal plants that were slated for decommission back online just to get through the winter.

In the slightly longer term, the rest of the world really needs to get off of fossil fuels and be cutting carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. This is critical and urgent, but not at the cost of the rule of law or democracy.
