> So it is unlikely that magnitude-1000 time measurement with no cycles in-between can work for them either.

Oh, maybe I didn’t describe it very well. They use precise scheduling whenever possible, and use kiloseconds and megaseconds in casual conversation. For example, you might be scheduled to go on–shift at 1664204400, and every shift is 30 kiloseconds, meaning you go off–shift at 1664234400. Of course the book never gave exact timestamps like that, it only discussed shifts and watches in general terms.

In casual conversation they use “kiloseconds” or “thousand seconds” the same way we use phrases like “half an hour”. For example: “We got the same scut-work shift starting in two thousand seconds. I thought we could go down to the bactry together, trade gossip.” They also use shorter approximations, like “hundred seconds” the way we might use minutes: ‘In his huds, he could see his ships climbing slowly up the sky, still hidden from the naked eye by the nearest tenement. “Another four hundred seconds sir, and you’ll see them come out past the roof just about there.” He pointed at the spot.’

They just don’t have a calendar based on astronomical cycles. When your STL ship needs 400 years to complete a single journey, and each crewmember spends a very small percentage of that time awake and on watch, you don’t need to care about cycles or calendars. And since each of the hundreds of star system that humans have colonized has a completely different calendar based on whatever astronomical cycles are available locally, so Earth’s calendar just doesn’t matter very much.
I am loving the latest Emacs Renaissance! All you can eat buffet, but you can take your lunch (and dinner) home :)

OTOH, org-mode already does this, without any need for external package and minimal config. It works really well, too!
Well, so far it made me more healthy as I am trying to change it but it definitely is off from the real numbers as I did an actual vo2max at the clinic here.
Spoilers: It’s a “culture war” lawsuit about critical race theory. Probably won’t go anywhere. Here’s a quote

> Plaintiffs’ First Amendment challenge fails because the Florida Government has simply chosen to regulate its own speech - the curriculum used in state universities and the in-class instruction offered by state employees.

This is not something new. Lots of courts have held up that the government, incl schools, are able to regulate themselves. The only interesting part of the lawsuit is that the plaintiffs are indirectly claiming that a ban on CRT sort of violates anti-discrimination laws (because its so aggressive in scope and vague that it trips up existing laws) and adversely affects student learning.
I see. I wouldn't know, as I haven't done any research on or looked into the impact of this policy on things at Yale.

Since you seem to know enough to call it lip service, I assume you went there. what do you think should be done to ensure that those in charge actually made changes that you and your peers advocated for?
The is/as pair seems like a tremendous improvement to the dismal C++ type inspection and casting status quo.

However I'm a bit suspect of language syntax that superficially appeals to plain-English meaning of contrasting words, but adds a cognitive overload. I'm thinking of how JavaScript has both `for...in` and `for...of` — the everyday usage of the "in" and "of" prepositions provides no guidance to what these words mean in JavaScript iteration.

Global elites can surely be better defined but I think its more about power, influence and impunity. Capital / assets / wealth are just by products of that power.
Rust gives me pause because it seems like yet another golden hammer language with bad developer ergonomics
As someone also in this business, I would speculate that they give such advice because it is currently effective. It's hard to say whether that will remain the case when biometrics are more widely used. Perhaps, then, we find that storing hashes of all sorts of biometrics server-side is not such a good idea after all. Or if done client-side, then you basically have public key authentication which also exists today and is often recommended for things like ssh -- don't need biometrics for that, how you unlock your ssh key is up to you.
So get rid of oversight, employ 'self regulation' and end up in a universal 747 Max situation?
The network demonstration of knowledge of the secret passage by 40 coin flips appears unnecessarily complicated.

Why not simply send Mick down the left path and show him returning from the right? That directly demonstrates Mick knows a passage from left to right (at least to all observers at the fork. home viewers still worry about video editing).
Pound/Euro is wobbling within regular limits. So this is Euro crisis, long overdue, because Eurocrats do not follow their own rules and use euromoney to save PIGS-countries.
It's a shame though that a circle is not 24° (or 240°) instead of 360°. Having °'" match h'" would have been cool.
I would argue that the puzzle-solving paradigm could be useful if you go in understanding that the nature of the "puzzle" is to solve for every possible edge case and understand why those edge cases materialized in the first place. There are times where working backwards into code that fits a model is a reasonable way to do it. But this does, at least, presuppose that you understand your code to be deterministic, not some voodoo you copy/pasta.

These tools send telemetry to Sentry (or at least the ones I evaluated did, which I believe were Lulu and TaskExplorer).

Personally I'm not comfortable with this due to the level of access they require and thought it worth to mention.
I bounce between languages for different projects (work, home) and I have to look up examples for how to those JavaScript ones all the time.
I am not complaining about those abstractions being possible, I am complaining about them being necessary for doing basic stuff that every other modern language solves with a builtin dictionary datatype. The more you use those abstractions the worse your error messages will get and the harder it will be to understand what is going on.

JSON would at least work consistently and don't randomly redefine the meaning of the language midway through a config file. YAML numerous issues of its own, so I'd avoid that if possible.

This isn't a Guix specific problem, the GNU project has tried to make Guile a thing for the last 20 years or so, and it just never looked especially elegant to me in any context and never really gained any real adoption in the wild either.

And when it comes to package configuration, it's just an unnecessary issue, we already had Nix, which comes with it's own JSON-like language specifically build for this task and that is much nicer to work with than Scheme, because it's configuration language first, not a general purpose programming language turned into one via macros. Using Scheme instead just doesn't improve the situation in any way in my eyes, it just creates a lot of additional problems.

Is it really "higher learning" when LITERAL groupthink is required?

But the 68000 dates from 1979 before even the first RISC architectures made to market. Competition was 8088. SGI for example dropped 68k range in due course for MIPS.

What makes ARM interesting to me is that it applied RISC principles in a way that worked well for lower cost computers.

Incidentally you might enjoy this from 1986. They were having the same debates back then as we are now!

If you only take issue with the PR commentary it is very telling for the validity of the rest of the argument.
> Rather than simply admitting that there is something at least a little immoral about benefiting from someone else's work without paying for that work

But there isn't anything immoral about benefiting without paying. At least under consequentialist utilitarianism, one of the main doctrines in ethics.

And why would there be? Someone benefits but no one else loses. If someone has planted a try by the road and I relax in the shade for a few minutes, have I done anything wrong? If I admire a fine bit of architecture have I done something wrong? If I pause to watch the kids playing in the playground have I done something wrong?
> one of the most common/famous wordlists out there, used for doing various types of dictionary attacks and the entire list ships by default with lots of tools

Famous, ships by default, agree, but actually used? It's really low quality, I've mostly seen it used for CTFs: because it is so common, the organizers / challenge makers think picking a password from this list is fair game for a challenge where the trick is to crack some user password hash without requiring proper cracking hardware. In the real world, it can be a starting point but it's not really used much anymore.

Things like the linkedin list and newer lists are more accurate, especially when combined with rule sets that add additional transformations (add an(other) exclamation mark to a password, change o to zero, combinations of these things, etc.)
I use Hostinger and I'm generally happy with it.
Actual alien: yeah this is quite common with calendars. They tend to have a lot of accumulated rules like that.

It is more logical for Monday to be first, because it comes right after end of the last week - week-end. The last two days are weekend - end of the week.

Ignorance of what? Bias against who? Religious mystics?

That's like saying it's wrong to use "charismatic" to mean "attractive" because that word needs to be reserved for religious charismatics, or that it's wrong to use the word "agnostic" to mean "noncommital" because that word needs to be reserved for the religious gnostics and agnostics, or that it's wrong to call have "developer evangelists" because that word needs to be reserved for religious evangelicals.

The answer is simply that the “wasted” rebound is wasted deliberately. In other words this isn’t “waste” it’s dampening
What I'm hearing you say is that the hardware has baked-in private keys. That is not biometrics, that's public-private key authentication. People already do this with ssh/pgp private keys on a hardware token. Which is a good idea, but it has nothing to do with biometrics and is not something you need to sell your soul to apple for.

> It’s also more secure than a password on a phone because if you’re using it in public someone can watch you type your password in.

I'd rather hold a hand over a PIN pad than having to wear a mask to prevent my face from being scanned in public.
I am purely speculating, but the ritualistic behaviour in humans might be an attribute which allows complex multi-step instructions to propagate over generations. Pattern identification is similar in this way, in that a small amount dramatically increases problem-solving within individuals/populations but at the extreme creates dogmatism.
Majority of calendars in Japan are starts from Sunday but IMO now people think week starts from Monday. It's relevant to whether people work (or went to school) on Saturday or not (so two consecutive holidays). Some research shows that old ages (who worked on Saturday) tend to think it starts from Sunday.

Calendars tend to follow traditions, and the difference isn't much matter. Also computer apps are tend to follow the US culture since US dominates the industry.
Could not possibly agree more, they are the worst. System would be massively more efficient and pleasant if everyone followed basic etiquette.

Other annoyances;

When you get to the bottom of the escalators don't just stop in the middle looking at phones and wondering what platform you need. Stand to the side.

Observe the queues next to each door position on the platform and join them. Do not just stand in the clear space in the middle. Following on from that, let people off the train first!!

Walk down the platform don't huddle at the entrance to it.

Don't wait for the gates to close before tapping your card. Just tap and check for green light.

Completely disagree with her thesis. I've studied Beowulf quite a bit, and I've never thought of it as a horror story. Beowulf just doesn't fit the horror genre.

> ...horror leaves readers or viewers with...a sense that, even though the story is over, we still have something to be afraid of.

Unlike in the horror genre, Beowulf depicts danger coming from a well defined source, and conclusively eliminated by the hero's actions.
Vulkan Render-Queues and how they Sync
I think it's just an open minded anthropological exploration of culture and tradition, and the beginning sentence hints at there being some long term computation occurring with cultures similar to evolution, i.e "doing things that work benefit a culture selectively whether they understand how they work or not." I don't think the author wants us to "lose the documentation", only to not throw the procedure out just because we don't have the documentation.

Foot binding and other negatively associated traditional cultural artifacts are selection bias and not representative of cultural artifacts broadly speaking. They did propogate because they did serve the societies, just not necessarily the individuals in those societies. All of them had reasons, ones that aren't good enough for us here and now, and your culture probably has some cultural artifacts that you don't equation that uponnskwptical analysis might not be viewed in a positive light. I saw a conversation you had down this thread about circumcision, that seems to me like a good example, it is my opinion you have a blind spot there caused by cultural bias you refuse to accept, just like a Han Chinese person might bestow the medicinal value of bear bile.

And that's a good segway into something more interesting: in the west, our adherence to rationality is a cultural artifact. And a good one at that, and quite a bit meta (it's only rational to be rational, after all) and it has served us well. You're exhibiting it without even having to think about whether you should, you take it as a given that it is the right way to approach these things. As do I, rationality is core to understanding. All traditions should be skeptically inspected, but I do think that following the lessons others learned the hard way is a strength, our greatest strength, and so at least a little bit of respect for traditions is warranted. Don't destroy the fence just because you don't know what it's for, figure out what it's for first and then consider whether you should destroy it. It's good advice.

You might not be aware that this is one of, if not the, seminal paper in distributed systems.

Lamport clocks, described briefly in the review, are an answer to the general problem of establishing an order between events that happen on different machines that respects causality. They’re still practical to this day, over 50 years after this paper was published.

There are lots of in-depth descriptions of the paper and its contributions elsewhere. I’d totally recommend finding them - it’s a great paper and not a hard read at all.

Used to be an earlier adopter. The thrill has worn off over the years as I realized that early adopters are only marginally better off than beta-testers and have made greater financial outlays. These days I'm content with buying only after products have been confirmed to be deliver on their promises. It has become a habit to read the reviews, especially the 2 and 3 star ones. The 5 star and 1 star reviews tend to be too biased to be given too much credence.

It is a shame that the length of a meter isn't based on the Earth's equatorial circumference. Though miles aren't really, it's handy to know there are about 24k of them around, 1k corresponding to an hour of the day. If we take the illogical 24 hour day as a fait accompli then distance is better reduced in round decimals of that than... whatever meter length is based upon (something to do with the weight of a cubic block of water?)

There is probably some nostalgic influence, but it doesn't seem like that is the reason. There are many different truck companies that exist and try to tweak the design to improve some aspects. Some of these companies will be trendy for a while and have pro riders, etc. but most people stick with the Indy/Thunder/Venture trucks, which are almost the exact same design. I think the later part of the article is more accurate, it is a combination of turning, impact and grinding. It is not a coincidence that almost all street/vert skateboards have converged to the exact same shape & dimensions. It's some kind of unconscious 'survival of the fittest shape' thing going on now for many year.

It's obvious. As soon as you touch the flashlight button, there is haptic feedback along with the button growing, exactly like the camera button on the other side. And yes, the button grows beyond the size of a 95th percentile finger. Now, whether or not you pay attention to the physical and visual cues is up to you. The cues are there. The instructions are in the official online guide as well as "About 3,020,000" other pages. They are in the official user guide in the books app. It's 'discoverable' without much of cognitive load for anyone that has used a phone in the last 20 years, not 'immediately obvious'.
Properly built modern houses would certainly not be the realm of slightly less bad resistive heating improvisations. But here in Germany we have plenty of old stock modernised to the point where is sufficiently air tight for insufficient ventilation to become an issue (and often it does!), but not to the point of active ventilation. Moisture buildup is a major concern, particularly at times of heating scarcity (which is when improvisations become more likely) As I said, different environments.
