The first computer mouse (2017)
An analogy is that one can walk in the right direction for an awfully long way before getting stuck at the end of a valley, staring up a proverbial cliff. Someone walking parallel to you on a ridge might be nearby the whole time, but avoid being stuck.[1] Anyone studying AI/ML would know about getting stuck in local minima, and having to essentially restart training to shake things loose. Same thing.

My theory is that physics is stuck in a local minima where it's not sufficient to change just one, or even two or three fundamental things to get unstuck. That's too big a leap via traditional incremental publishing of new theories. Any one change to the status quo won't work, and is rejected. Multiple changes are too complex, and might need to have occurred too early in the timeline. It simply might not occur to people that the whole industry took a run turn... 100 years ago.

This is why I like crazy papers. They make you reconsider fundamental notions, the type that were in textbooks decades ago and are seen as foundational and unquestionable.

[1] This literally happened in New South Wales. For decades(!) nobody could cross the Blue Mountains, until Blaxland, Lawson, and Wentworth tried walking on the ridge tops instead of the valleys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1813_crossing_of_the_Blue_Moun...
If it inspires hope, sure. That was hope of victory right there not fear of doom.

Why does no one seem to read what I am saying? I am talking about how viters feel not what politicians say. "Make america great again" sounds hopeful for example but it means you are afraid america will go to shit otherwise. In other words, if not voting for your guy feels like doom ("if I don't vote for biden the world ends" to be non-partisan) bad times ahead.

A lot of money did end up in normal markets. There is a lot of data for this. For instance, the Fed offers something called a reverse repo facility that allows institutions to deposit money overnight at the Fed. This is typically leveraged by money market funds. Over the course of the pandemic, the amount of reverse repo operations grew from 0 to over $2T.

A lot of the expansion was done via Covid stimulus, which put money directly into the hands of businesses and individuals. Unsurprisingly, people spent this money on all types of stuff, including equities and real estate.
I'll admit I thought this was the kind of thing that impressed the markets? (or at least the people who make the market turn the way it does)

> - Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;

In Brazil, I think most people consider Sunday the first the of the week, in Portuguese the days of the week sound like ordinal numbers, Monday sounds like 2nd, Tuesday sounds 3rd, and so on. So it's pretty logical to consider Sunday the first day of the week.
I still print regularly. Most government offices are not entirely online yet and even those that are still have processes that require sending in signed papers. I also make use of the scanner on the printer to scan forms and archive them. I print legal documents all the time. I also print labels for shipping as my handwriting has become atrocious over time. Printing labels reduces risk of shipping errors and there is no harm in making a shippers life slightly easier. I also print labels when returning defective things purchased online.

As a side note my Brother Laserjet has been rock solid. knocks on wood It's the only printer that has stood the tests of time and usage thus far.

There is a company down the highway from me that can print things but then I have to email my documents to them. That is one more copy of the documents laying around on someones mail server and on their PC of unknown patched/security status.
Library of Congress Acquires Entirety of Jim Metzner's Work
When the law no longer protects the average citizen...
Offices are absolutely the worst places to get any work done. Open plan, lousy kit, noisy, managers who love meetings. Add to that expensive to get to (time & money), expensive to eat nearby, terrible coffee, having to wear pants. I could go on.

I have family, kids, who I need to take to and from school, and prepare meals for. I have real friends, not office friends (although I have made lasting friends through office-based work).

Remote only for me. I'm starting my fifth remote contract next week and it's far more interesting work than anything I could get locally.

For context, I've 25yrs as a software developer, 20 of which doing contract work, and since 2020 fully remote. I'd guess I've worked in about three dozen different offices.

True, the tools used by risk managers will have to adapt to overlays if overlays (software defined networks that look like encrypted noise on the wire) are as inevitable as they appear to be. It's kind of an arms race and it only makes sense to embrace what's happening and invest in those tools that bring the controls and insights that are needed by defensive security interests to do their job.

At the same time overlays move security closer to the app which shifts the purview left even further toward the developer. This might mean that developers will bear more of the burden of ensuring a secure deployment by choosing a good overlay and effectively operating that overlay in a way that satisfies Security and Compliance.

A lot of what makes attractive men's bodies look "attractive" is in the bone structure. They look fit without actually having to be fit: height, rugged face, wide shoulders, barrel chest, narrow hips.
The video I linked was doctors who specialise in fitness doing a literature review of the evidence of what I was discussing as published in medical journals and talking about the actual, medical, biomechanics.

"by using obscure and invented health industry terminology absent from medical science"

"Zone 2 HR" is just an alias for 65%-75% of your max heart rate with Zone 3 being 80%-85% and so on ... very simple, and max HR % is used across the medical profession (along with VO2 Max) [1][2][3][4] ... I could go on and on.

These "zones" are defined by the point at which metabolic processes change. After ~zone 2, you burn more glycogen and engage fast twitch muscles, and this affects cellular respiration differently in terms of performance pay-off. At ~zone 3 the metabolic processes and chemical balances change again, and so on [5]

You VERY evidently have so little idea about what you're actually talking about, at this point I consider it a troll and I won't bother continuing.

The Netherlands is a small country though. Reservations are not needed because you're expected to stand if the train is fully occupied. Travel journey is rarely longer than an hour.

The Dutch railway system is more like a giant metro/light rail. Trains between the major cities have a high frequency of every 10 minutes.
Depending on where you are located you might want to check if your cameras offer a "black out" function. The camera essentially censors all public space with black bars.

I'm not talking just life-or-death stuff, I would be calling that something that you need to know right there. There's a very set, short timeframe for you to receive this information before it can no longer be acted upon. So of course a phone call makes more sense there.
I understand the sentiment. As a software engineer I refrain from clever code especially if somebody else has to come and maintain it.

In this case, once you realize how the defaults stack, whoever came up with the one liner indeed has come up with something clever. Also the exercise in understanding the defaults cements the understanding of awk and as others have pointed out enables you to write much cleaner awk.
While it is a fake unit, it was made to make the math easy. You could call the origin of everything the place where I'm standing - but good luck calculating a path for the mars rovers to travel if I happen to walk to the bathroom.

Except it isn't. As you say, IMAP could do with modernisation; JMAP isn't that, it's a replacement.

If you want to replace a protocol that's in very widespread use, then your replacement needs to offer decisive benefits to operators and users, otherwise they won't switch. JMAP seems to offer benefits only to developers.

Only about a literal fingers on one hand of new things in computer science since 1980.

But I have no idea how this could work. What would you learn from a random card? How would it not just fault out at step one correctly so?

There's even an argument on "Talk" if it's Fuzzing if it's random.

It'd be interesting to know what was happening.

Where is there a punch card emulator & punch cards that we can try this on?
Cool! Now do this with every line of awk you're asking someone else to maintain, give up, and then write it in a better, more explicit language instead.
Wouldn't that be exactly the same, just with more filters?

When I am on Amazon, trying to find something, I always feel like I have to fight the site, rather than being helped by it. Paid ads, very poor categorization/property-search, deceptive UX, fake reviews, "amazon picks" etc etc etc. And when I find the right product, I might receive a fake.

I think what people enjoy and celebrate about McMaster-Carr is that it is exactly the opposite of that.
I wonder if the future is as bright as the pass.

Depends on whether you mean for dev salaries or for humanity as a whole.
> So while this was a cute approach to this problem, and there probably is a good use-case out there for using explicit object parameters with a different type, this ain’t it.

This might be salvageable by having two kinds of the `MutableState` classes, one for non-const member functions that don't leak references into the vector (clear, push_back, ...) and one for member functions that do (operator[]).
Here are the algorithms for PICO-8's sin(), cos() and atan2(), as implemented by the Picolove emulator:
https://github.com/picolove/picolove/blob/4b79a3b7ebd1d1bc6c...

Also, since PICO-8 coordinates have their origin in the top-left corner (y goes down), sin()'s result is also inverted.
This constant need to redefine the known world around a favourite detail amazes me. Are people that bored?!

(also I itch hearing the idea of redefining interface - and the world - to fit the implementation detail. how about reimplementing using the [0...0.7854] domain instead of the [0...1] if this is such a huge worry after decades of computing - on slower machines - with the natural radian (arc_length/radius) values? I feel Godot engine should fit the world and not the other way around.)

> Math doesn’t require radians.
....What?!?! Circumference, radius and volume, just to name some, try calculate those easily on turns only (without a new constant introduced!).
If you can verify half of a set of bits, sometimes you can use an error-correcting code to verify a full set of bits. Or sometimes to verify a property of those bits.

Think of RAID storage. If some drives can't be read, but not too many, you can still read all the data.
Am I the only one that really dislikes the Cpp2 syntax? I get it's coming from a Rust influence, but it just feel much harder to parse by humans.

The way a function is declares looks just like a variable assignment for instance, but in a compiled language it pushes the wrong paradigm on me, since that's pretty much immutable.

I must admit that I'm mostly writing Python and JS these days, but the way the colon is being used feels grossly inconsistent and confusing. Why not say std.vector for instance now instead of std::vector?)

Passenger cars also don’t work for containers or industrial timber transport. No specific vehicle needs to fit every single use case, if your day to day life involves commuting from a town 50 miles away in the middle of nowhere, so be it.

> talk about anything without any fear of judgement

I have a name for this forthcoming hackerspace: The Echo Chamber.
Back in the early 80's a common thing to do in games on 8 bit computers was to implement sin and cos as lookup tables with the angles being 0-255 or 0-128 or something like that and the result also an integer that was some fixed point representation, so you'd do something like:

vx = (cos[angle] * speed) >> 8;
vy = (sin[angle] * speed) >> 8;
Yes, it's one of the classic trade-offs, comfort vs security.

Yeah, if you're in a large metro area (I was about 1 hour from the Atlanta distribution center), they would often ship SAME DAY if you ordered by about 10am. It was amazing, and very convenient during chaotic times when you forgot to order one tiny little piece of hardware that was needed before your custom built tooling could be delivered. This was in 2005 - 2007 timeframe, before Amazon started the 1 day stuff.

That's pretty cool. I could have used something like that for Microsoft's CI.
This is such a defeatist attitude of "oh pretty people are just different and they get all these things they don't deserve" that comes up on these threads constantly. Especially if you exclude students, the vast majority of folks reading this have more than enough time and money to eat well, work out 5 or 6 times a week, and buy nice-fitting, well-made clothes. From a professional standpoint, that's all you need to do.

Very, very few people are incapable of doing the above on software engineer salaries. People that make a lot less and have less free time manage to do it, you can too. Height and bone structure are about the only two "attractiveness" things not within your control, so control them. I am not conventionally attractive, I wasn't popular in high school, I had a beer belly in my 20's and rarely had dates. Eventually I got my head out of my ass and started eating right, started working out, spent a little bit of money on my clothes and just all around gave a damn. The difference was staggering, both personally and professionally. It's amazing the different a good haircut, a fresh shave (or maintained beard), and a reasonable body fat percentage can make.
> Bike-centric design is transparently ableist.

There are many disabilities which don't allow driving, not to mention that in countries like the United States which don't take care of people there are many disabled people who cannot afford to own a car.

Accessibility doesn't have a single solution but if you look at areas which are welcoming to bicyclists they are also much better for a wide variety of disabilities because they have things like sidewalks, safe vehicle speeds or limited vehicle access, curb cuts, etc. You'll see people in electric wheelchairs or tricycles using bike lanes/paths, blind/deaf people don't have to worry as much about getting hit by a speeding car they were unable to notice, etc.

If you don't like bicycling, think of them as safe mobility lanes — the users certainly do, and we should all back having more of them because if we're lucky we'll live long enough to need them.
You never have to worry about it being junk, though. When I order fasteners, metal parts to be machined/used in fabrication, or just misc. supplies from McMaster-Carr, I know whatever supplier they are using will be high quality and the part won't be a counterfeit. It also seems that they tend to stick with US manufacturers if possible.
That's a classic. A lot of things have changed though.

To paraphrase your take: "This is not a problem because it is not a problem for me."
that's what i do. the problem is there is never a good time when an unexpected interruption is ok, unless it's my wife or my kids.

so my phone is silent all the time. if a phonecall comes in when i am busy most often i don't even notice it. if i recognize the number i'll call back later.

contrary to what others say, calls from friends are usually ok, what bothers me most is spam calls. because not only do i get interrupted, but i get nothing positive from the call either. it's just wasted. with a call from friends at least we end up having a useful conversation which makes up for any lost time.

Solving a buttloads of mindless exercises that have no distinctive purpose is not a good way of learning

I agree but I think for non-engineers, starting from circuits is not the best approach. Just the same way everyone uses Excel, I think no-code tools may evolve into something that everyone uses.
At some point we'll have fusion and/or fully self-driving cars. Still the AI only can replicate learned ideas, so you can't do anything that hasn't been done before. Generated content will look 99% there but be just a bit off. Besides that, even if you could do 'anything' in a game, what's the point if nothing you do has meaning?
as we say in Denmark: there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

That's easy to say in Denmark, since the weather is virtually always pretty OK. It basically never gets below -10 or above +35. Without looking at the data I would guess 300ish days a year are between 5 and 25.
Advanced TypeScript Workshop
It's time-consuming, but there are great resources to learn high school math to a very high level (likely much more effectively in many cases, than actually taking a high school math course, due to thoughtful exercises and more control over the pace of learning).

I learned a lot from the Art of Problem Solving book series because they're highly focused on the reader solving problems to learn, versus giving explanations. Even if you don't finish all of it, you can strengthen any problem areas.

For a less-comprehensive but still great introduction to precalculus (with a great section on trigonometry in particular from memory), Simmons' Precalculus in a Nutshell has a great introduction to this. Then you can read a book like Thomas Calculus, which has a great introduction to trigonometry in the first review chapter.

I would even say that you would be better off working through the books above than if you had the high school classes; the best math students probably took the same approach too (working through books instead of focusing just on the class material). The main obstacle is time, because it's hard to find time when you have work and children to take care of.
They also have the weird stuff the local hardware stores don't, and usually it's higher quality.
