Reading Soviet Sci-Fi at the End of the World
Provincial leadership, while it’s shown sparks of both good and bad policy during covid, is conservative. Federal leadership is a liberal minority. They have been at odds at times, sometimes significantly.

The effort wanted to replace all uses of Pi (including the ones in math formulas) and not just their use in (floating-point) computer programs where we implement approximations of those formulas.
I just Googled it, and this is what I found [1]:

When a country's currency appreciates in relation to foreign currencies, foreign goods become cheaper in the domestic market and there is overall downward pressure on domestic prices. In contrast, the prices of domestic goods paid by foreigners go up, which tends to decrease foreign demand for domestic products.

A depreciation of the home currency has the opposite effects.

It contradicts directly your claim that exports don't get cheaper. You're saying exports remain the same (because they don't get any cheaper), and that the only change is an increase of corporate profits at the expense of wages.

Did a Windows 10 Pro install just a couple days ago and BitLocker still wasn't on by default.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out. It seems like most of the big tech companies are having a hard time putting the genie back in the bottle with remote work as enough of their employees seem to prefer it that they can't remove the option completely without risking losing a lot of their people.

For new or small companies there are definite advantages to being fully remote (no office expenses, bigger talent pool to draw from) or fully in person (able to get any benefits from everyone being on site and able to more easily hire from the pool of people who prefer 100% on site). If we start to see companies make a clear choice then long term we might see one or the other model win out if the benefits are big enough or maybe they can both coexist as the benefits are context dependent.
You will be shocked to learn (as was I) that the iPhone Mini is the same size as the iPhone 6- which is what I considered to be too large for my tiny mitts.

Is any number mod infinity equal to itself?
I do it elsewhere, was just hoping one of you might read the article.
The sine and cosine that are defined with Taylor series are not the same sine and cosine that are defined for right triangles.

The former are R->R functions, while the latter are defined on Angles (Angle is unfortunately not an SI physical dimension yet, but I expect it soon to change), and they don't care about the measurement unit.

I have no idea what you mean by radians generalizing for higher dimensions, but not turns.

Documentation one of the most important part of a software project. It must provide a clear and coincise representation of the behavior of the system and should be written by the most expert developers and designers of the software project. Only then the documentation can be good, and at the same time, in the process of writing, inform the developers of semantical inconsistencies present in the system: because describing a system is debugging and auditing it at a very deep level. Inconsistent systems can't be clearly described.
> One degree is how much stars move by one day.

I was going to look that up to confirm it, but then I realized I could prove that statement true using some simple logic I already know.
Earth does one cycle around the sun in 365 days.
So at midnight looking straight up on a specific star (that is angled perpendicular of the rotating poles of earth) in the sky, the star you would have spotted on that day would appear slightly off the next day at midnight.
It would only end up on the same spot on midnight after 365 days.
So we are 5 days off, but I am going to believe it is true until someone is correcting me.
No, you are confused. That’s a conversion back to degree after computing the sine. You don’t randomly divide by pi for no reason.
As others here pointed out: this is bad awk.

I think good awk scripts lie somewhere between "This is atrociously overfit to this file" and "this is so general you should have done it in python/perl/etc".

Of course there are legitimate uses for both super-specific and super-general awk scripts, but finding the right compromise is what makes a good awk script. You want your script to be concise yet robust to changes in the input files. Also, readability and maintainability are really important if you plan to add it to an important script.

Short awk != good awk.
I don't think I'm mixing things up, I think you are.

Coal extraction in the western world is making huge amounts of money and scaling up production, exactly the opposite of what the naysayers were incessantly parroting.

Coal is no different than wind and solar in terms of accessibility of plant or product. Actually renewables are significantly easier to acquire and scale and deploy in many cases -- millions of people have solar panels on their houses for example. Private, as well as municipal or county level installations are common. As are much larger ones.

> For the most part you don't need a specialized workforce either, which you do need for nuclear.

You certainly do. You can't just throw a bunch of people from the street together and tell them to run a coal mine, supply line, and power plant.

> It's also not intermittent like solar and wind and the supply chains for solar and wind wouldn't have been able to keep up anyway.

Might be zeroing in on some of the problems...

> but they're hard to visualise and reason about because they don't fit a circle in whole numbers.

I think, unfortunately, that you can't avoid encountering irrational numbers in trig. You would need to constrain yourself to working only with right angles, but in those cases sin and cos are trivial[0] so there would be no need to use trig in the first place.

Maybe it's more noticeable because this phone has a really tiny battery, but yeah.

I actually went through a few adapters to find one that worked, because some of them (e.g. the one Apple makes) actually only wire up a DAC inside the phone to the physical 3.5mm connector. The Palm phone doesn't have a DAC though ...

"is" is the reference equality operator, that can't be overloaded, in Python. It having a different meaning in C++ is unfortunate. "is" seems to really mean "is a" in C++. instanceof / isinstance has a related meaning in Java or JavaScript / Python and is a way more clear keyword than "is", which is a very ambiguous word.

that 5G ban was overall trend in all west, certainly not something Trump made(TM). In fact, it would look utterly incompetent for him if all western democracies rejected Huawei 5G hardware apart from US, given his anti-chinese stance.

Some points look nice and sane, but I don't know details. But there are maybe 10,000 different aspects of government, its impossible to not compile list of positive achievements for any president/politician.

I think what Trump opponents have much more beef with is the list of things he did wrong/didn't do but should. That defines politician much more than positive items. Same as person-person interaction in general - its not that important how many positive aspects the other has rather than the negative ones, they define overall tone and compatibility much more.
You are right, there is no even one job board that I know with a "no remote" filter!

"Tall" is something that comes out of the genetic roulette, and there's little you can do (see the recent article about men going through painful leg bone extension procedures).

This all comes down to this statement:

>In fact, pretty much the only case where complexity and length matter is when we’re defending against offline password cracking. But for every other case in the threat model where passwords are stolen, length and complexity simply don’t matter.

The idea is that most passwords are stolen when they are plaintext. So it only matters that the password is unique to that system. Offline password cracking is relevant for cases like the passphrase used to protect your PGP or SSH keys. Then length and complexity is important. Stuff like the suggested FIDO is the same sort of thing. If you need to protect the FIDO key information then length and complexity of your passphrase is important where offline password cracking is relevant.

Die-hard SE fan, moved to iPhone 12 mini. Really happy.

It's a bit larger, but it's a good change as it's actually more comfortable. Ymmv, of course.
It's considerably larger. If you hold the phone in your right hand and want to touch the upper left corner with your thumb, you have to reach about an inch further.

I still think the iPhone 13 mini is the best choice, though.
Get an iPhone 13 mini while you still can.
Most modern biometric auth is implemented by the biometric device acting as an HSM and only agreeing to perform the cryptographic operation with its secrets if the proper biometrics are provided. Biometrics are never directly sent to the service you're authenticating to, instead it's using a form of PKI in the background where your biometric device is an HSM storing the client certificate.

This is less secure against dedicated attackers with physical access, but much more secure against remote attackers as there's usually no way to provide the biometrics to the HSM in software and the authentication key from the biometric device can't be stolen so you must keep persistent access to it to be able to use it every time you need to authenticate.
only expensive clothes have reproducible sizes. You can test this yourself. Go pick out 3 different levis jeans that are the same size that ought fit you, in different colors but the same cut. They will all fit slightly differently.

Expensive clothes that are meant to be altered will usually have better tolerances, at least in my experience.

this is one of the main reasons i refuse to buy any clothing intended to be worn outdoors from amazon, shein, aliexpress, ebay, &c.
It's effectively the same, but cos, sin and others are defined with radians as arguments. Taylor's series expansions are changed, otherwise. So is Euler's formula.

That page doesn't actually state anywhere when the term 'turns' was actually introduced, the concept yes but not the terminology. As far as I can tell the first references it gives to the term being used is in ISO 80000-3:2006, completed in 2009, although it must have existed earlier because Fred Hoyle appears to have used it and derivatives in 1962. I thought the reference to percentage protractors might be fruitful, but I tracked down the article reference for that from 1922 and it doesn't use the term.

Software Art Thou: Real Software Engineering (2018)
The simplicity of the Taylor series of sine and cosine is irrelevant, there are no important applications for those series.

There is only one consequence of those series that matters in practice, which is that when the angles are expressed in radians, for very small angles the angle, its sinus and its tangent are approximately equal.

While this relationship between small angles, sinuses and tangents looks like an argument pro radians, in practice it isn't. There are no precise methods for measuring an angle in radians. All angle measurements are done using an unit that is an integer divisor of a right angle, and then the angles in radian are computed using a multiplication with a number proportional with the reciprocal of Pi.

So the rule about the approximate equality of angles, sinuses and tangents is at best a mnemonic rule, because to apply the rule one must convert the measured angles into radians, so no arithmetic operations can be saved.

"Turns" generalize perfectly to higher dimensions.

To the 3 important units for the plane angle, i.e. right angle, cycle and radian, there are 3 corresponding units for the solid angle, i.e. the right trihedron (i.e. an octant of a sphere), the sphere and the steradian.

The ratio between the right trihedron and the steradian is the same as between the right angle and the radian, i.e. (Pi / 2).

The ratio between the sphere and the right trihedron is 2^3, while that between cycle and right angle is 2^2. In N dimensions the ratio between the corresponding angle units becomes 2^N.

Moreover, while in 2 dimensions there are a few cases when the radian is useful, in 3 dimensions the steradian is really useless. Its use in photometry causes a lot of multiplications or divisions by Pi that have no useful effect.

There is only one significant advantage of the radian, which is the same as for using the Neper as a logarithmic unit, the derivative of the exponential with the logarithms measured in Nepers is the same function as the primitive, and that has as a consequence similarly simple relationships between the trigonometric functions with arguments measured in radians and their derivatives.

Everywhere else where the radian is convenient is a consequence of the invariance of the exponential function under derivation, when the Neper and radian units are used.

This invariance is very convenient in the symbolic manipulation of differential equations, but it does not translate into simpler computations when numeric methods are used.

So the use of the radian can simplify a lot many pen and paper symbolic transformations, but it is rarely, if ever, beneficial in numeric algorithms.

> And is it even useful anymore with macOS being increasingly locked down

It's an application firewall, so even if MacOS is locked down, any app can still roam freely (within it's jail). Suppose some app has access to your contacts, that means it can still upload every contact to a server, and an application firewall can help you detect/block that.
I already learnt in school to calculate trigonometry using radians or turns depending on the situation. It was part of the general math curriculum in Bavaria. As far as I am aware both are mathematically sound and there is no reason to religiously use one of them over the other. Let your use-case or input parameters decide. The examples given in the article definitely make no sense in radians.
In the surreal numbers [1], the definition of division and hence modulo applies to all numbers, finite and infinite alike. And for any finite number -omega < x < omega you would indeed have x mod omega == x.

Are there enough coders already?

For me coding is not a love story. It can be fun bit mostly it takes absurd amounts of time, time I would rather spend doing something fun and exciting.
No, living in your head creating imaginary worlds isn't what I consider being fun.

Music creation, DJing, dancing, hanging out with people, traveling is more fun.

Coding is a means to an end, something to get me closer to the goal of not having to work because my income comes passively.

It's not a good life. Staring at the screen for hours days weeks years. It's imitation of life in every sense. Slavery even.

Also why do you care if people decide to be coders? Let them do what makes them happy

The writer don’t seem to realise that radian is not an arbitrary unit but a dimensionless one which is defined so that 1rad is actually just 1.

Reading the submission and the comments here, I’m under the impression that trigonometry is not extensively taught in middle schools and high schools in the USA. While I’m slightly envious you might not have to suffer developing powers of cosine and sine but that would explain the lack of familiarity with radian I see here. Am I wrong?
