Well, yeah, the Sabbath should be Saturday. That doesn't mean we can't have Sunday be the day we go to church.

Just buy a Garmin if you want to do anything -useful- with your watch for sports or outdoors. Apple is 5-10 years behind their reliability or battery life. And if you’re going somewhere without a cell signal… or god forbid, you don’t have (shudder) wifi, it’ll tick right along.

Not to mention they don’t sunset their products after 12 months… your watch will get updates for a long time. They’re also -very- repairable to boot.

Yet the word "Sabbath" refers to different things to different Christians.

Consider the old nursery rhyme, Monday's Child, which ends with

Friday's child is loving and giving / Saturday's child works hard for a living. / And the child born on the Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.
No, the calendar had 12 months + 1 intercalary month before the Julian reforms. The calendar you're thinking of was the one supposedly introduced by Romulus and replaced by his successor--there's no evidence of its actual use.

McMaster has the most environmentally unsustainable shipping practices I've ever experienced. I once ordered a particular kind of 8 foot brass rod. They shipped it, not in a tube, but diagonally oriented in a gigantic rectangular box that was 99% empty.

If you are interested in making a J40 binding in Rust, please also take a look at the future Rust version itself. I've made an initial issue [1] about this effort.

Interesting. Presumably over time the evolutionary selection of rituals the article talks about would weed out the ones that are useless though.

I wonder if the act of closely following a ritual even if we do not know its purpose is a form of human meta-ritual? That makes it easier to learn from previous generations without having to understand the potentially harsh lessons that lead to the creation of the ritual in the first place?
You can say that when that's true for all global markets.
Not at all. My rate is very high, so saving a day of my time saves them way more. The burn rate on some of these projects is hundreds of thousands, millions a day. Saving time when your on the critical path (as mechanical design typically is) is worth that much. Once the design is finished there is a whole army of manufacturing engineers and sourcing folks that can drive the cost down. That's not the niche that mcmaster fills.
Israel does not attack like the US, meaning a full scale campaign aiming for regime change. They harass a regime by conducting repeated strikes on enemy territory (see Syria, Ghaza). What Israel primarily wants is to destroy Iran's nuclear installations.
Same for code.
So you have the day before "seventh day" be called "fifth day"?
> 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.

Vietnamese only numbers the days of the week from Monday to Saturday, with Monday = 2 and Saturday = 7. Sunday has its own name that isn't a number and is always put at the end of the week.
This is like saying we shouldn't use encryption just because there are bad guys stealing our data... just because hackers do something wrong, why does everyone else need to do something about it?

Well I’d suggest the “obvious” orientation is actually the effect of what you believe the words to mean, not the cause.

100 years is enough time for all sorts of regulatory capture and other tricks to try and create barriers to entry and monopoly

I can picture way more bureaucracy about both the legal practice of software development as well as registering the software, having it audited for "harm" (look at all the movements within ML to try and leech off of this).

Additionally, I expect efforts to destroy open source or pervert it towards pet corporate or political causes will cause at minimum an extremely fractured environment, it not a set of walled gardens where you're stuck paying for MS Linux and only writing for the MS store or whatever.

Add to that some bloated "low-code" thing optimized to remove agency from developers so the lowest skill commodity workers can do whatever minimal human task is still required, so that even a quantum computer will buckle under the weight of whatever 30x incepted framework the web-app you use is running in.

Of course I'm a pessimist.

Yes. Try actually doing the calculation ((Year 2022 / Year 2000) - 1) * 100% for both and you’re going to see the EU had faster growth over that time period.

Author here, it is super encouraging to see this trending on HN, thank you for the great discussion, links, and ideas!

I hope to change how learning, using, and contributing to WordPress looks like. This writeup explores how WASM WordPress works and why it's useful:

https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/23/client-side-webas...

Here's a few possible applications: try a theme without affecting your current website, have live themes and plugins demos right in the directory, enable first contributions directly on wordpress.org without any setup steps, learn WordPress in the browser, or replay and debug failed tests right in the CI.

Technically most of these things are possible today with a specialized backend. The problem is that it's either expensive and time-consuming to maintain, like a fleet of custom WP instances, or limited, like iframing a preconfigured 3rd party solution. WASM-based solution is open-source, cheap to run, and doesn't seem to have deal-breaking limitations.

I wouldn't run production websites on this just yet, as it sometimes crashes in Chrome and the bundle size is 50MB+, but both problems can be solved. Once they are, this will be so much more than just a cool tech demo.
It's still very much a thing on some lines but if you time your commute right you'll never experienced it.

A lot of good points in here on degrading art for photorealism in the remakes. But we’ve really been loving the originals that keep coming and changing the formula from princesses and villains to families and growth. From Soul to Encanto to Coco, Onward, Turning Red, and Luca, just high quality, good wholesome stories that we can watch as a family and talk about afterwards.
Switched to a browser to comment exactly this.

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, we started our work week on Saturday, with Wednesday being the last day of the work (school for me) week. It took me a long time to transition over to think about Saturday/Sunday as the days off. I still get random pangs of excitement on Wednesday thinking it’s the end of the week if my brain hasn’t warmed up.

I believe this is still the case in the gulf states and I would assume other Islamic countries.

"But enough about our calendar, let's hear about yours"

"Well our species lifespan is about 100 years, so, actually, I was never there"

"But I guess you use that calendar to communicate back home?"

"Well, actually, the planet was swallowed by the star during its first red giant phase..."

"So your clock and calendar is based on a planet your separated from by generations, and which doesn't even exist anymore?"

Hey, I keep seeing people claim biometrics somehow fix the password problem, but I feel like this is just a password you can't change? I can't change my fingerprints nor my retina, but if that data ever gets leaked, then that's vulnerable forever?

In my mind, there's no world where one could make a biometric scanner that couldn't be spoofed (presumably with an arduino USB interface) and then when all these corporations with the worst security (Facebook, Experian, etc) leak my data, can't anyone log into my account?

> The stock price is somewhat independent of the underlying business

Yeah, it was. Now it will likely have to be dependent on the underlying business. At least, in the US. In Europe it was always highly tied to the success of the company's business. To profits, especially.

In the US it was more like 'this will take over the market and go big in the future'. But, a lot of major companies haven't been able to do that. From Facebook to Twitter. Not even talking about those like WeWork or Uber.
Amazon does much better then Wal-Mart, but in either case I’ve found the best experience is to only buy products being sold by Amazon or Wal-Mart directly. I love the idea of facilitating small businesses selling through Amazon and Wal-mart, but in practice the feature is just abused by fraudsters, scammers, and disaster profiteers. The few legit sellers on either platform often don’t deal well with customer inquiries or returns. This is why we can’t have nice things.
> std::unique_ptr<Foo> doesn't have any overhead over Foo* in code where semantics is the same

Not true. And you just refuted yourself by being up the ABI question. You should watch Titus Winters' presentation on this topic where he compiles code using unique_ptr and raw pointers, compares the assembler produced, and explains why unique_ptr has non-zero overhead. The overhead is indeed coming from the ABI. Google has been wanting the next C++ to break ABI but they didn't get enough votes in the standard committee.

> If you are not already convinced that this property is important, I am not sure that I can convince you, except to ask whether you would be comfortable running, e.g., a worst-case-O(n^3) parser for a real industrial language in production.

Looks like it stops here. Yes, I am comfortable running such algorithms in production. Github code-nav uses GLR parsing (via tree-sitter) on a large fraction of the code in existence.
Sure they’re 5-10 years behind, but I wouldn’t underestimate Apple’s ability to create a thriving ecosystem.

Any Garmin app developers worth their salt should be scrambling to port their existing apps to the Apple Watch platform. It’s currently an under-supplied market, and failing to tap into that opportunity is a bad business strategy.

Totally agree re: the current state of repairability and support, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they extend the user repair program to this sector.

Also, it’s a bit disingenuous to claim that they sunset their products after 12 months. They might refresh them, but that doesn’t change the software support cycle.
I don't love McMaster due to their insane over packaging and environmental issues, but this

> McMaster sells a very small breadth of things with incredible depth in its selection.

is not the case. They sell virtually anything anyone in an industrial environment could possibly be interested in. See other comments about "industrial trikes" and feel free to choose some arbitrary thing and try to find it there.

This is the frustrating thing for me, they are objectively very good at what they do, but in a completely unsustainable way.
I thought the primary reason .22s were undesirable was because rim-fire is unreliable [0], and center-fire necessitates a larger caliber shell simply for packaging reasons.

Over here in Sri Lanka:

1) I've seen calendars with both starting days (Sunday/Monday). Anecdotally, calendars with Sunday as the first day seemed to be more popular when I was a kid; now, calendars with Monday as the first day seem to be more common.

2) The 12-hour system is far more popular here than the 24-hour system. Not that we don't use it, but in my experience, 24-hour tends to be mainly used in professional settings; 12-hour is used essentially everywhere else.

I think you might be confused because the “left” in the usa is a centrist liberal party. Liberals are not leftists. Actual leftists do NOT in my experience support state surveillance. Warfare isn’t a left vs right thing per se, e.g. leftist support for ww2 when american nazi sympathies were common. But imperialist wars are generally opposed by leftists.

I do think the state-ist vs non-state-ist thing might be useful, but as a leftist there are plenty of things I support a state-based solution to (healthcare) while others I do not (policing - as currently conceived, anything involving personal freedom + autonomy e.g. drugs, lifestyle). I’d suggest it’s more of a “i’m a healthcare state-ist” rather than “i’m a state-ist”.
CP is sadly, a worse initialism: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cp
> Instead of passwords, we should use something like FIDO, which allows users to log in using a security key or biometric information.

The problem "in the real world" is that people will lose these keys all the time. I mean, I agree, passwords need to die, and hopefully some of the work that is being done by Apple and others will help bring on an end to passwords, but you can't really talk about replacing passwords with FIDO keys without talking about how to deal with account lockouts, which is a real, hard problem.

Similarly, biometrics may be good for a user ID but they make horrible passwords. These days fingerprints and irises can be copied from photographs.
I'm surprised a password cracker would advocate switching to biometrics, the one type of password you can't change.
That’s confusing a few separate things. There was (supposedly; we only know about it from late Republic writers) a system with ten months, _then_ a system with 12 months where the year started in March (so the numbering made sense), then at some point the year switched to starting in January, then Julius Caesar’s system, also with 12 months.

Later on (during Augustus’s rule, I think), Quintilis and Sextilis became July and August, but by that time they were _already_ confusingly named.
> 5 jobs, never for more than 9 months?

So .. someone with less than 5 years on the workforce?

Look, I'm 60+ (ish) and still actively managing projects in code, engineering, mining, signal processing+interp - from my PoV anyone with less than five years on the workforce is still a child.

When I look for people to land roles that shepard a five+ year project through I'm looking for people with at least 8-10 years employed already with at least one two year run and a stated intent to "settle" into a position - ie maybe kids, perhaps a new house, maybe family in the area, etc.

Exposure to multiple bad projects is fine, especially if they can articulate how things went bad and how things might have been better managed to avoid that (ie big picture awareness).

You do have a point, however you might be setting the bar a little low .. less than five years in is barely a toe in the paddling pool of life.
