No, they don't know anything. The idea that unemployment and inflation is related comes from a theoretical model called NAIRU and promoted by neoliberal economists. The model has zero empirical evidence. In other words, these psychopaths could as well torture hamsters or dance rain dances and it would have the same impact on inflation as what they are doing now. People blindly believing them, as you do, are no different from Russians who believe that the war in Ukraine is necessary to protect "the Motherland". But when it is your livelihood on the line, you will change your tune, just like Russians who rather not themselves be drafted.

For a few years I lived my life rigorously to the beat of the french revolutionary calendar - i was very enamoured by its consistent month partitioning, and dumping the leap day at the end of the year's festival days. The major downside is that the months were named after French seasonal characteristics, which... doesn't really work.
I’m experimenting with using Hugo (and a few shell scripts) to automatically publish notes tagged as “public” from my personal Obsidian notes repo to a website: https://all64bits.com.

It’s Markdown based, handles syntax highlighting etc and seems promising. I’m using the “Papermod” theme for Hugo
In Hebrew the weekdays are named "First", "Second", etc. making "Shabbat" ie Saturday, the last day of the week.
Publishers, and the authors whose work they publish, and the estates of dead authors - they like money. I don't blame the authors: writing a good book takes a lot of time, effort and frustration. But when a book leaves copyright for the public domain, there needs to be mechanisms in place which allow anyone to find, download, copy and read that book without paying the full price. We don't yet have robust mechanisms in place to make that happen.

My personal view is that the length of current copyright laws are a joke, and should be more in line with patents. It's a very minority view. At least we still have a few second-hand bookshops around where we can pick up used books at an affordable price.
Has anything that has landed on Venus survived for more than a "few" hours due to heat/pressure? Landing humans on Venus seems more of a very cruel and unusual death sentence rather than some sort of a viable science mission. Now, if I were on death row and they offered me the choice of needle, chair, firing rage, or land on Venus, well, I know which one I'd take!

This should be the top reply to me. Cool research. I wouldn’t have thought about it (though I did worse in my atmospheric chemistry class than anything else I studied in atmospheric science, so not surprising).
This gets even more complicated when you introduce dealing with foreign countries that actually don't follow the western calendar system. Such as the standard Persian calendar months and years. Also, did you know that the arabic Islamic calendar dates and the persian calendar dates don't agree? Because the traditional calendar dating back to the maximum geograhpical extent of the Persian empire is solar based, while the standard Islamic calendar is entirely lunar based.

And the persian calendar is solar based and the year resets on Nowruz (new years day) around the spring equinox, but the practiced holidays are based on the lunar islamic months? But also some holidays like Nowruz are observed based on the solar date.

This means you've got Nowruz occuring on approximately the same time in the weather season every year, while relative to the western calendar, notable holidays like Eid al-fitr and Eid al-adha and the start of Ramadan etc move backwards in calendar date approxiamtely 10 or 11 days per year. Some years Ramadan might occur in the middle of winter and much later on it will be in the middle of summer.

This series of tweets doesn't even begin to get into the possible opportunities for confusion when working between three different calendar systems... And western countries where the standard work week is M-F but others where Friday is the day of rest and people work on a 6-day work week on a persian or arabic islamic calendar, but some companies give their employees a two day weekend so they're off on Friday and Saturday, but the local timezone equivalent of Sunday is definitely a normal workday... I could go on.
It's super common in C because C doesn't have namespaces and templates which means stuff C++ implements as namespaced library classes C has to implement as language keywords.

A good example is atomics. C++11 introduced `std::atomic`, C11 introduced the keyword `_Atomic`

It's too far for Israel to effectively attack it. Israel would need to refuel over Turkey or Iraq, or launch from an American aircraft carrier.

i.e. it would not be a Israeli mission, it would have to be a joint mission. Or in other words America would not be able to say "Israel did it", America would have to be fully on board - and perhaps help.

And that's not something small, that's why it hasn't happened yet.

I'm not a pro-NRA gun nut, and I hate to say it, but this shows you the dangers of when only the government has the guns. I'm pretty sure that if guns were available to regular people, there would have been a transition to a different government decades ago. The fact that this backwards, misogynistic government can remain in power for the better part of a century despite Iran being filled with highly educated people with a rich culture is a crime against humanity. And yes, I'm fully aware that this was caused by the US and the CIA, my point is that it should be taken down by its citizens but it has no power to do so.
In the PC world this has been done couple of times, eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2O from the late 90’s.

I think the real reason why it works for mainframes is that their operating system is so primitive, so it’s easy to cross layers - because there are so few of them. z/OS is closer to MS-DOS than to Unix in that regard.
The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun and rotates on its axis at a ratio of roughly 365.25:1. The axial tilt of the planet is such that the northern and southern hemispheres have varying seasons at different portions of the orbit and those seasons materially affect the life of most of the larger animals on the surface.

There's not many intuitive ways to break that up unless you use a base365.25 number system.

Calendars can definitely be weird but they're working around non-integer natural ratios.

US approach to COVID is pretty much the exact opposite to what China did. It follows from a fundamental difference in priorities - Chinese don’t want to die for somebody’s profits. I’m also not sure if fake news is an entire industry in China, like it is in US. And if it exists, it’s certainly not backed by the government, like Breitbart was.

As for false advertising - look at how western media are pumping Chinese “housing crisis” where the reality is pretty much the opposite (https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1011211/the-winners-of-chinas...) - it’s the west that has a terrible housing crisis; China has merely a housing investment crisis, which is a relatively minor problem to people.

The miscommunication in that case is that the person doing the boulder-rolling/book-writing/startup-programming genuinely thought they were providing value to society. Your example picks a ridiculous non-valuable labor. To understand their point of view, imagine something that you would consider valuable, but which goes generally unrewarded. To get you started: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, volunteering for a fire department, cleaning an oil spill, rescuing animals, planting trees to reduce man-made erosion, ...

Advance tickets go on sale 12 weeks ahead of time. They start off cheap and once a certain amount is sold the price goes up. That keeps going until all advanced tickets are sold and you can only buy “anytime” tickets.

I’m sure there’s a system for how many advance tickets there are for each route, but I can’t find any reference to it.
Define "bro" culture? For me it evokes images of chest thumbing beer-pong playing college students. This article is mostly about fortune 500 CEOs and venture capitalists. It seems like "bro" culture is a moniker associated with any majority male group.

That happens in Portuguese (brazilian, at least). Digital clocks go through 0-23 hours, but the second half is _sometimes_ named as 1-11 afternoon/night (whatever fits your taste). Hour 0 is never referred to as 12, though: it's always 0 or "half night"

(Edited my comment from initially having a more polarizing tone.)
Iran is very good at oppressing and subduing its citizens. There won’t be any change without foreign military intervention, either outright or by arming minorities and the populace to wage an internal civil war. A USA which is preoccupied with Russia and China and still licking its wounds from Iraq and Afghanistan isn’t going to do any of those; they’d rather just pay up to keep Iran on the right side of the nuclear brink.

I hope I’m wrong on all these counts, but so far the Mullahs have been going strong.
This is patently false. Iran has been called part of the Axis of Evil since Reagan era. Iran has been reported on as evil for decades. This current set of protests have gotten a lot of media attention.

The reason why Khashoggi gets so much attention is because reporters love nothing more than to report about themselves. There are plenty of other people who were killed by Saudi Arabia that got buried because the media doesn't care.
Well, since Saturday and Sunday are called "weekEND", so it logically follows that Monday is a "week start". Most people think about it like this: Monday is a start of a new work-week, and then you get two days of rest at the end of the week.
I'll double down and reiterate. This "sentence" is unparseable nonsense. It reads like a half-finished grammatical nightmare.

Maybe this is because I grew up when analog clocks were common, but it would feel extremely weird to say “15 o’clock” in speech instead of “3pm”. Even though it’s written down as 15.

I think you’re right that younger generations that grew up with digital are more likely to answer “fifteen oh seven” when you ask the time whereas I’d be more likely to read the same time and say “ten past three”

It's not the only one. In Portuguese, the names of Monday .. Friday are literally "second .. sixth fair [day]", with Saturday and Sunday being "sábado" (sabbath) and "domingo" (lord's day).

I'm not sure which other countries follow the convention, but it's the numbering used in the Bible so I would be surprised if there aren't others.
The USA is two deeply divided countries pretending to be one.
Also, you know, it's the UK Government's plan, so you know it's going to be something that is deliberately designed to not work, but will funnel billions of pounds of public money into private firms with relatives of Tory cabinet ministers on the board.

If the UK Government appears to be doing something "good for the environment" you can rest assured it's only because they've found a way to use it to siphon money out of the public purse.

/Officially/ almost everyone has standardized on ISO 8601 where Monday = 1 and Sunday = 7. But unofficially, not really. The week is still popularly understood to start on Sunday in English Canada, and probably some other parts of the English-speaking world.

A quick check of Wikipedia suggests Arabic, Portuguese and Vietnamese, all use number-based systems to name the days of the week, and they are indexed from Sunday = 1. But yes, the other is more common. Most of the Slavic languages, and Chinese, among others, use indexed from Monday = 1.

Then there's Swahili: Saturday = 1 and Friday = 7. Though personally, I believe Sunday is the 0th day of the week.
um... I would have written this same article with the exact opposite slant,

Algos in Plain English – Mult, Div, and Mod make for Efficient Division

The "binary intuition" is that "what you already know from grade school about multiplying and dividing numbers the long way on paper, by lining up and shifting columns of numbers, is even easier in binary because shifting is multiplication and binary only has a 1 or a 0 in every place.

I just think it's a little wrong to say "we're not mulitplying" when we are. And when you use Mult, Div, and Mod operators, that's what they do.

I wrote and tested SuperH assembly on the Jornada. The 32X and Dreamcast both use a SuperH CPU like the Jornada, so if the assembly works on the Jornada (baring some instruction set differences), it works on the others.

In particular, one thing I worked on blitting code for the Jornada and 32X. It would draw directly from RLE compressed graphics which would save RAM and speed up some operations. Like if there was several transparent pixels in a row, it could skip over the pixels in one go and instead of having to read each transparent pixel, compare it to the transparent value, then skip over it.
Just a point on the logic here - let’s agree that the trade-off is not always (perhaps even infrequently) one life for the other life in any given case of a desired abortion. It’s a spectrum that goes from the mother’s at-risk life at the most grave to convenience of lifestyle / avoidance of responsibility at the most callous. All abortions are not one or the other, but all points on this spectrum are represented. The debate is often framed to highlight one extreme scenario or the other as justifying a specific policy carte blanche. But we do ourselves a disservice as wannabe rational thinkers be ceding either assumption to the passionate advocacies on each side.

I get the impression that the article's author didn't really read the linked help page. It's basic auth that's getting deprecated, due to being considered a legacy authentication protocol. For good reasons, as described.

That aside, POP should really be considered legacy, it comes with many downsides that hinder people's e-mail usage. IMAP is definitely more functional, but has a successor - JMAP. So in some sense, it'd not even be entirely wrong to migrate.

I think that shows that different mediums need different solutions and also different content.

Newspapers don't have scrollbars. So they use columns.

This may be why phone-apps are so popular, their content is designed to be viewed only through the app.

CSS columns is cool, I didn't know about it. But not sure where I would use it either.
To be honest I don't think this is entirely true. I'd say it's more the fact that actually _experimenting_ and _learning_ these kind of things on the field requires very specialized knowledge and a lot of time. I'd be more than happy to learn a programming language (or some other, similar thing) that helps me understand how IPC work and the effects of caching.

The fact that processor producers have put all of this under a big "implementation details" sign makes it very difficult to develop an effective knowledge.
