> But math never decreed that sine and cosine have to take radian arguments!

That is not entirely true. It comes from the relationship between those functions and the complex numbers via the Euler formula.

ix
e = cos x + i sin x

There may be arithmetic/numerical inconveniences, but that's not all there is to "math".

Let's define ncos and nsin ("nice cos, nice sin") as follows:

nsin x = sin 2πx
ncos x = cos 2πx

So then what do we make of:

ncos x + i nsin x

This has to be

cos 2πx + i sin 2πx

which is then

2πix ( 2π) ix ix
e = ( e ) = f

2π

Where f = e is a weird number like 535.4916. This f doesn't have nice properties. E.g.:

d x x
- f /= f
dx

Otherwise it works; for instance 90 degrees is 0.25 and surely enough

0.25i
f = i

In situations not involving e in relation to angular representations via Euler, f cannot replace e.

I'm all for having parallel trig functions in libraries that work with turns, though.

The annoying 2π factor shows up in lots of places though. Should way, say, in electronics, redefine a new version of capacitive reactance which doesn't have 2πf in the denominator, but only f?
Haven't read Roadside Picnic, but I've seen Tarkovsky's Stalker several times. How do they compare? Stalker on it's own is an amazing piece of art. The Stalker in the monologue at the end laments that no one believes anymore (this seems to be Tarkovksy's critique of materialism and probably got him in trouble with the Soviet censors) - it can also be seen as depressing, but there's that bit at the very end when Stalker's daughter does that telekinesis thing which can be seen as being a bit hopeful for the future.

If there's one thing we should learn from the last 2.5 years, it's how unscientific Canadian society has become.

Had even the basics of the scientific method been applied, and had our existing scientific knowledge been considered, none of the harm the country experienced would have happened.

There would have been no business/job/education/freedom-destroying lockdowns and other government-imposed restrictions.

There would have been no forced masking.

There would have been no coerced/forced medical procedures, and no "vaccine passports".

One truly disconcerting aspect of all of this is how the people who were screaming "trust the science" the loudest were typically the ones with the least scientific experience, and were the ones pushing for policies that had no scientific basis.

It would be very interesting to get a retrospective of how things are going for them now, a few months before the Manifest V2 cutoff.
You get extra coefficients appearing, but also extra coefficients disappearing. If 2 pi x is showing up everywhere, you still have to deal with it:

d/dx sin(2 pi x) = 2 pi cos(2 pi x)

vs

d/dy new_sin(y) = 2 pi new_cos(y)

That’s something that we spend a lot of time working on. Our general approach is to do both the simple and predictable thing (ie what format would I want to get the data in if I were the data team receiving it). For the specific example you give, we’d convert the timestamptz into a timestamp before writing it to the destination.

Another type where this comes up is JSON. Some warehouses support the type whereas others don’t. In those cases, we typically write the data to a text/varchar column instead.

The way it works under the hood is we’ve effectively written our own query planner. It takes in the source database flavor (eg Snowflake) and types, the destination database flavor, and figures out the happy path for handling all the specified types.
I share the pain of musing over license options.

From a pure business perspective, I feel like there are more data points out there that have won (as in, "survived") by shipping proprietary software.

Don't want to make moral judgements here about proprietary-vs-FLOSS but within my hacker bubbles, one biases themselves to be partial to FLOSS very easily. If I were to ship "some things" (it really depends what the thing is) as proprietary, this community may not take too kindly to that move (and neither may I).

On the other hand, I don't think that the world at large really cares. Sometimes it feels that one can either be a) financially well off or b) more beloved by the hacker community. These things are not mutually exclusive like that but the union of these is rather rare. Hard choices!
Thank you for doing the needful kind sir.

Apple still issues security updates for older iOS versions from time to time for devices that do not support the current iOS version. You could therefore continue using the SE until you get a hard requirement for some app that only runs on iOS 16+, or need some newer hardware function.

Personally I switched to the iPhone mini, which, while not as nice a form factor as the SE, is still okay-ish for one-handed use. I’m hoping that Apple will again release a new small phone a few years down the line before the mini becomes unusable. They could refresh the iPhone mini in a similar cadence as they do for the iPad mini.

> My personal experience with devs who don't want to GPL their code or contribute to GPL projects is that they're under the impression that having a permissive license on their own project will get $corp to use it and, somehow, they'll profit from $corp using it.

A lot of big corporations will not allow GPL dependencies to be used in their codebases, and not having a GPL license will definitely make software more usable by those corporations.

How the developer expects to profit by giving something away for free is definitely a mystery, but there is also some truth to the idea that a GPL license does scare companies away.

I agree, though I think there's an irony in the mutual incompatibility of many FOSS licenses. For instance, try making a GPL project that depends on a data file licensed under Creative Commons. One's best bet in such a situation is to ask the rights holder to release to you under a compatible license, but people (and institutions) are generally reluctant to do so.

Two permissive licenses, one headache for the FOSS dev.

Yes, actually, although generally speaking it's not widely enforced. Generally you won't get caught as long as the color on the registration matches the factory color in the VIN database, but you are supposed to ensure the vehicle description is accurate when you renew your registration and providing false information is a criminal offense, so if the color changes, you should update your vehicle registration.

> I need to store artifacts related to this build, as I don’t want to build those again!

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/storing-w...

they do seem to be capable of saving most things people call artifacts or if you are looking for something more along the lines of caching parts of the build for future builds, you can adjust it pretty easily by adjusting what the cache key is based on.

example:

key: ${{ runner.os }}-cargo-${{ hashFiles('**/Cargo.lock') }}

which will allow you to cached based on the hash of a specific deps lock file instead of the commit sha.

The one note here is clearing that cache/cache management isn't straight forward currently (although they are improving it), there are a few acceptable workarounds though.

This is true because the non-political departments of US government have ultimately very limited power, so there is little incentive to either capture them or destroy them by partisan actors. Political operatives would much rather control something like FBI or EEOC instead of LoC or USFS. This should motivate us to ensure that each department’s capabilities are as restricted as possible to achieve its mandate, so that Library of Congress can focus on archiving materials, and not, say, drafting rules on what is required and banned from public libraries across the country (a very contentious topic these days, apparently).

Of course, the political operatives want the opposite: they want to concentrate and extend the power of government agencies as much as possible. The incentive to do so for administrative agencies is strong: elected politicians can be voted out, so they have to be more careful, but career bureaucrats are effectively not removable. The result is a fight for the control of the agency, and then, if one side wins the control, to diminish the power/funding of the agency, which obviously is not conducive to agency being effective at its stated goals.

I still think details matter because it helps determine what is good faith following the license. Ambiguity also helps spread fud, which makes it harder for big companies to contribute and reuse such software.
Interesting comparison.

A chief difference is that with a wiki there's a canonical current version which everyone is working from. With written manuscripts there's ... just a bunch of different (usually handwritten) variations and modifications of a manuscript.

(Modifications wouldn't have been made to a single print copy, usually, though there are such practices as marginalia.)

What you'd see especially are commentaries on works. E.g., Averroes's commentaries on Aristotle, or the many commentaries which accompany Sun Tzu's text (itself likely a compilation) in Art of War.

That said, good observation. I've been suggesting for some years that the wiki is itself a distinct form of literature, though itself with some precursors, such as loose-leaf bindings which enabled the notion of a loose-leaf service in which a book could be continuously updated over time, dating to the late 19th century:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_leaf>

See for example Nelson's Encyclopedia:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson%27s_Encyclopaedia>

<https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Homiletic_Review/YN...>

These were advertised (and I'm pretty certain patented) in the late 19th / early 20th centuries.

<https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Magazine_of_Busines...>

But as an evolution of recordkeeping forms: clay/stone tablets, papyrus scrolls, codices, moveable type (15th c), card catalogues (18th/19th c), punch cards (19th c), loose leaf (19th/20th c), databases (1950s), revision control (1970s) (Wiki entry: <https://expertiza.csc.ncsu.edu/index.php/History_of_version-...>), online books (Project Gutenberg), hypertext, and wikis, might be one phylogeny.

The paper shows that most sites are regional. I wonder how many of these sites that are popular regionally would have the potential to be popular globally (if only they were widely adopted). A organization related specifically to policy for a region would never be global, but a social media or video sharing platform might be. I wonder if the video platforms and search engines (of which every country has a favorite) will merge over time or continue as distinct entities.
