I've been a runner for a long time and this is absolutely a thing, it's not just you. Running do over an hour gets boring unless you're trail running and have different scenery to look forward to. That being said, a lot of people get bored (or worse, are actively displeased) much quicker and can't even run without music to entertain them.
TRS-80 Color Computer Assembly Language Programming - Learned assembly as a teenager and there's no better foundation for knowing how a computer works. Love to shake the author's hand for that one - right book at the right time in my life, and surprisingly well written for something you could pick up at a Radio Shack.

Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.5 Object Oriented Programming Guide - explained object-oriented programming in a way that I could immediately get it even at a young age. TBH I'm not sure I've ever read a better and clearer explanation.

Distributed Programming in Argus, by Barbara Liskov - interesting academic language that found a way to merge a lot of disparate concepts including object oriented computing, distributed computing, and transactions. Good foundation for when I learned Elixir / Erlang OTP.

Peter Drucker, Larry Prusak, and Bruce Kogut are a few thinkers and professors that showed me how to see organizations as repositories of knowledge and human connections rather than collections of financial assets and strategic capabilities. (The customary view taught in business school.) Anything they write is worth reading, but Working Knowledge is a fine place to start.

(Tried to pick some interesting ones for you folks.)
I can see where you're coming from theoretically, but at least in America, the vast majority of the people who complain about "leaches on society" are right-wing individualists. They see the undesirable elements as being supported by a welfare state and believe that without the welfare state, their "leaches" would die. It's a gross and dehumanizing view that absolutely abdicates any responsibility for society's role in supporting other people. So individualists can also believe that the two statements are identical.
Sorry for the confusion :). I'm the author of both tools and was also considering to build the new functionality into fgprof since the data capturing approach is very similar. Anyway, if you found fgprof useful, I think fgtrace could be even more useful in similar situations :)

Plenty of people have run for 24 hours, or spent far longer in far more solitary conditions. You could ask any of them. Sorokin "just" ran 5% faster.

It's worth noting that the previous record had stood since 1997. That's an incredible amount of time for a running record, especially with the huge increase in ultra running over the last 10 years.
Look, "available land" means "land that is not used".

It is clear that more flexible zoning laws allows for easier re-use, if there are abandoned old warehouses and other limitations (height of buildings) do not exist, then this may contribute to more availability and lower prices, but you need many, many converted old warehouses to make a dent in availability, and not necessarily large availability drives prices down.

Differences in zoning laws have a relatively high impact in places where there is plenty of available, unused, land.

For me I've always found running outdoors engaging, but swimming laps becomes quickly tedious. I once as an experiment did a half marathon on a circular sports centre track to see how it compared and it was awful.
What does one do to land a Java job when neither Spring, nor Quarkus experience is present?

Backstory: I have been using Java SE for more than a decade now. Currently building a Java 17 pure Vert.x project. I'm quite seasoned with the language, but not with large frameworks like Spring. I don't have any desire to learn Spring. Quarkus seems like a good choice on the first look, but I'm also looking for other options.

Hints anyone?
That's why I can't do running.

I can't get over the fact that it's a painful way to get from A to A. Some optimizing party of me is always screaming WE COULD JUST HAVE STAYED AT A!

Now, if they're is a ball to chase and a game to win, I can run until I fall over...
This is a bit tangential, but I'm curious about the migration path from, say Dovecot to something like this.

I have a Dovecot mail store ~(10gb of mail) on Mailcow (which is Postfix and Dovecot under the covers) and tools like mbsync fail to pull all my mail without multiple invocations. I've been looking for a migration path off it.

When I migrated to this system, I found an IMAP to IMAP script that I had to fiddle with and hack, which tool roughly a day to complete. I'm hoping for a more straightforward migration path in the future.
Land and Liberty to Build: On Georgism and YIMBYism
Yeah, what I was getting at is that you end up with a very defined market and you can’t easily switch out of it. A substack started around “public transit is pretty cool/good” will eventually be unable to have any article that implies cars have value, to pick and arguably bad example.

It’s an interesting personal question to ponder - who of those I read would I read if they wrote something diametrically opposed to what I hold? The lists are often pretty short, sadly.

Tailor the resume and cover letter to the job listing. If you cut up both of them like a ransom letter you should be able to draw lines between sentences in the job application and sentences in your application.

Often HR makes mindless mistakes that make it impossible to satisfy the requirements (e.g. they want 12 years of experience in a framework that's been around 12 months) but when this happens the hiring manager starts getting pissed at HR. The more senior you are the easier it is to bypass unreasonable requirements.
> “insane" in the sense of serious mental illness.

Fatigue, stress, trauma, injury, alcohol, aging, other illness, ideology, anger, envy etc all can also induce irrational thought patterns and behavior for long enough to leave a voicemail.

It was. It has become a meme that GTA6 will come out (similar to HL3). There were rumors but nothing official.

A proper reveal would have generated massive hype, now it's mixed with "hack".

But as the ol' saying goes: never let a good crisis go to waste. Although I think they're in a tough spot since it's probably too early in the development stage to put a spin or reveal anything.
Technically yes, in practice not really, unless you're proposing a ridiculously wide gauge (several meters, or something like that!).

Even standard gauge trams have no difficulties navigating curves that are much tighter (25 m, down to 10-ish m on some legacy systems) than anything you'd seriously consider when building on a new rapid transit type rail system (normally at the very least a three-digit metre figure, ideally something more like 200 or 300 m).

The only thing that directly scales with the track gauge is the length difference between the outer and inner rail in a curve and the minimum radius down to which the self-steering effect of conical wheels can still compensate this length difference. This means that with a larger track gauge you might get a little more wear and tear for the same curve radius, but a moderate widening of track gauge (e.g. BART is approx. 16 % wider than standard gauge) will equally not cause a dramatic effect here.

In the best case, with standard gauge self-steering might work down to 150 m, which in the case of BART's track gauge would turn into 175 m, which is still rather on the tight side for a rapid transit-style line (and as originally built, BART didn't use conical wheels anyway, so they didn't benefit from self steering in curves regardless of radius used).

The bigger factor in terms of curve radii is the length of your vehicles, how much vehicle throw you're prepared to accept in tight curves, and possibly whether you want to have trains with open gangways, so passengers are able to move between individual vehicles.

Aleksandr's training is public on his Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/26934035

Something to remember is that this is his pace _after_ pit stops, so his actual running pace was faster. Also notable is that this course was kind of terrible, with four 90 degree turns and three 180 degree turns each lap for 209 laps. There's little doubt that he could run > 200 miles on a course with fewer turns.
It's not confusing once you know where it came from. The NT kernel has a concept called “environment subsystems”. Win32 was, until WSL1, the only one used (a long time ago there was SFU, the grandfather of WSL). So WSL is a Windows subsystem made for Linux. Hence the name.

Note that WSL2 isn't an NT subsystem, they're just using an actual kernel now. The name stuck though.
Blogger objects to central bankers doing their job. I imagine his book matches his views.
Disclaimer: I’m not well versed in this field, but my basic understanding is that Diffusion can and is “fuzzy”.

An image without “crisp” pixels that create lines is acceptable. A basketball with an extra/missing blue pixel is acceptable.

With words, they either haven’t invented Diffusion yet, or the nature of the problem is too hard for Diffusion.

With text you can’t have the model Diffuse to “teli ne abouf a fdog?” “The dod is graen and has stix leg5”. It’s just too obviously wrong.

Meanwhile, the “fuzziness” allows Diffusion models to be smaller, compared with models that need precision.
The East Coast Will not escape fire
Someone on Twitter calculated about 55,000 calories burned. Not sure if he had things to consume while running - but 8 - 10 lbs of fat burned in one day is wild to think about.
I don't disagree with you, a lot of the missions felt like more of the same. And the focus on online has been disappointing, but that just means I haven't played GTA in a few years. I also rarely play any games, so I'm not a very picky gamer, I just like the game mechanics in GTA and being able to roam a big world with interesting details and humor. Sometimes I played it for a few hours without even starting a mission.

I get what you're saying about character development, but at the same time some of my favorite games are Mario 64 and Mirror's Edge. Sometimes I just want to play a shallow game, not take part in a deep story. Most of the story in GTA happens as dialogue in the car when driving to the mission, and I'm usually too distracted to follow along anyway.

As I understand it, this is a significant change in American rhetoric, which has always been deliberately, strategically vague on the subject.

I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, or why they'd make such a change right now. I would imagine it's a response to the notion that China has been watching the US send money and arms but not troops to Ukraine, though it seems to me that the situations are not sufficiently parallel for anybody to jump to that conclusion.
Pretty neat article about the synthesis of Georgism and YIMBYism- without YIMBYism, Georgism can't be complete in its opposition to monopolistic economic restrictions; without Georgism, YIMBYism ends up as a giveaway to land speculators rather than a spur to further development.
I think I stumbled across similar behaviour, but for a used book. I was looking for a particular computer science book, couldn't find it new, and then decided to buy a used one from Amazon, ordering from the store with the best rating. It didn't arrive, and after a while (a few weeks) I received a notice that the delivery service had lost the book. I was refunded the money, though. The tracking number I got for the book from the store never worked though, I checked multiple times during those weeks. So I guess the same thing was at play here: I was sold the book although the store didn't have it. After failing to acquire the book, they just cancelled my order by pretending the delivery failed.

This boring story has a happy ending: I contacted the author (a retired MIT professor) if he could share a PDF with me, and he generated one from his old roff sources. He also sent me a signed copy from a stack he got from his publisher back then (80's), paying over $60 porto (US -> UK). I was blown away by his kindness and generosity.

No, there doesn't need to be a premium on borrowing money. Why would there need to be a premium?

If I can invest in businesses with 0% return and make a profit, that's generally good for short-term economic growth, and bad for long-term economic efficiency.

I'm not arguing for more or less interest, but I don't think there is a "natural." Interest rates have gone negative several times in several contexts, and the universe didn't explode in a numerical singularity. I am arguing for having reason beyond "we've always done it that way" or "it doesn't make sense."

I’m not sure I would use the Marvel franchise movies as something aspirational when it comes to writing. They very much are paint by numbers movies. I think the Disney recipe is the worst thing to ever happen to action cinema and part of the reason these shows are all so poor.

>responsible for the lives of literally a million people on an average month

Even in 2019, BART never cracked more than 500K station exits per month, and now it is well below half that number[0]. And of those monthly rides, surely a majority of them were the same people taking multiple rides.

Additionally, even a fatal flaw in the software would most likely not result in every one on every train simultaneously dying or even being injured.

>Considering the audience of twitter, which is the elite of society,

What? Twitter is firehose news for, in my experience, the lowest common denominator unless you spend an inordinate amount of time curating your own experience.
In the U.S. this is a no go for criminal investigation, as there is no way law enforcement to compel you to offer up that proof that isn't able to fall under 5th Amendment protections, whereas Third Party Doctrine actually gave them a way to get at the tramsaction chain through the service provider. Now, unless you want to run into some creative reinterpretation of the 4th and 5th amendments a la the definitional butchering that is generally applied to the 2nd you can't push that question onto someone who is the subject of credible allegations of money laundering

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as a pointedly not implenented feature. This has been one of them, because it is the difference between essentially making financial crime tractable to investigate vs. not.

I'm not taking a side, just trying to make more obvious some of the more subtle nuance most people won't articulate for you, as it tends to be part of "the quiet part". You must employ 2nd and higher order thinking to the U.S. and international regulatory state.
> The problem is, for every org I've seen, saving memory is not the goal of the program.

Thing is there are huge number of people, group, companies, projects and so on looking to save memory all the time. It is most of the time done by library, framework developers so generally app devs do not notice.

Oracle teams are spending ton of effort on GC efficiency, reducing object header size, or value types. If saving memory is not an issue they would not waste huge resources like this.

I have maintained Go apps and it turned out to be so simple because it is grand total of one Go file with 1.5K LOC of code. This was exactly opposite of Spring Boot apps which are used a lot here. They are perennially stuck due to some or other library upgrade required for security fixes.
I’ve gotten used to semantic versioning to note api deprecations and breaking changes in major releases. Linux just bumps around .20?
Rockstar has a jaw-droppingly great track record, and I can understand giving them the benefit of the doubt and having super high expectations. They're one of the few entities that has earned that respect.

However with some of the trends in the gaming industry, as well as the heavier focus on multiplayer and transactions that nickel-and-dime customers, I'd personally temper my expectations about any future titles to avoid disappointment.

> I dont think rich people are particularly educated

Maybe you need to recalibrate what "not well educated" means. Rich people might not all have advanced degrees, but the vast majority have at least some college (even if they dropped out). Compare that to the approximately 1/3 who have never attended even a community college, some barely or not even making it through high school. Thinking that a bachelor's doesn't qualify as "well educated" is exactly the kind of bubble I was talking about.

> Now, if they're is a ball to chase and a game to win, I can run until I fall over...

Well, there's the solution :) Make a game out of it. Some find it helpful to reward themselves if they can reach some sort of goal (under X minutes per km) and not otherwise, then you have something of a game.

Otherwise, if you're a bit competitive, find another competitive friend and compete who can run for longest without giving up. Loser buys the other one beers for evening.
Personally I’m more nostalgic about games like NHL 95 and PlayStation era Madden. That’s just what my friends and I were playing. Maybe it’s easier for me to enjoy GTA for what it is because that’s more my genre.
Full time Rust dev here (For only about ~10m, before that hobby Rust dev). Used to be a full time ts dev.

Others mention the smoothness of Serde. I also really enjoy using sqlx, and the wider tooling and crate documentation makes it a pleasure.

I do really miss the compilation speeds of ts, and even with a lot of fiddling it’s hard to get close to but the borrow checker and dev speed has almost caught up at this point if it wasn’t for the compile times. CI/CD still 5-8 minutes for us even with a lot of caching etc.
Lack of enterprise resources is also a little tough though I find C# and F# resources good analogues.

Perhaps my favourite little benefit which I really regret being without on ts services is the ability to clone a repo and then use your own copy as the crate. Allows a lot of debugging power, and allows you to run with your own patches while they’re still getting accepted into the crate. Honestly my favourite feature of crates.

Would I use Rust if I had to start a business from scratch? Maybe. I joke with a friend I’d probably prototype microservices in TS then migrate the high traffic ones to Rust. The memory footprint is great but rarely a business requirement. The volume it can handle might be?
I thought so at first too, but that doesn’t explain the steady price increases. Two algorithms competing against each other does.
I was being conservative to give the author some room to make the argument. If rates are 8%, I can see this article at least being justified in its concern.
