Slightly different WASM observation:

Traditionally, compiling an application impiled the compiler needed to know specifics of underlying hardware

and/or OS specifics (MS windows, Apple OS, etc). One thing that WASM does is remove the 'have to target

each specific hardware/OS with it's own application' by bundling the 'generic hardware/OS' as part of the

application in a ready to go, one package deal. No 'need to upgrade your OS and/or add <insert list of additional

software packages> to be able to run. So, security wise, the program doesn't need to know about anything

outside/beyond the WASM package. It does mean the application is significantly larger than just the application

less surrounding environment.

Where this is most obvious to the end user is when a application makes use of a graphical

user interface. With WASM, instead of 3 different OS looks (Apple, MS word, Unix X11), the WASM application

would have same look across all of the 3 aformentioned OS'es. Hopefuly, the application gives the user an option

to 'customize the look & feel'.
They took steps towards a liberal democracy. Remember Yeltsin?

It's also proposed to be funded by Isaacman. Reading between the lines, he's probably planning to go to space personally and fix the Hubble. Which is kinda a vanity project at that point, but hey, I'll take it.
I agree with the author in not being a fan of huge note-taking systems.

The areas I have found notes useful are short term to-do lists, and notes that store links to things I want to read/buy/etc.

Anything more than that and the operational overhead becomes too annoying to deal with for me
> So, the best way to getting into the flow state and getting things done (pun intended) is to force yourself to just do it.

And also reducing as much friction as possible. For me, that means, reduce temptation to style and ultra minimal note categorization.

• New Note in my OS's default, no-frills note app.

• Start typing.

• Done.

I can always search it later with keywords. Getting it out of the brain is already an immensely feeing act, anything else is bonus.

(I do some post-notetaking categorization but it's not systematic and I allow myself to just leave it in the default bucket of uncategorized notes.)
A new hubble-scale space telescope is a multibillion dollar project - Hubble cost about $7 billion in 2022 dollars at the time of launch, JWST cost $10 billion.

By comparison, a manned servicing mission would likely cost in the mid hundreds of millions, or about 1-10% of the cost of a new telescope. It's unlikely that a one time injection of cash would buy much additional functionality for future satellites. By comparison, buying an extra few years before you need a proper replacement satellite would allow you to build a substantially better telescope at the same annual funding rate, or build the same telescope at a lower annual funding rate.

Did you read Twitter's post explaining which of his tweets were inciting violence?

There were 2 tweets

>The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

And

>“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”

There is no way any reasonable and objective person could come to the conclusion that either of those are inciting violence.

Comparing debt to GDP is a dumb though. You’re comparing a stock to a flow, but it’s a flow that doesn’t have any meaningful relationship to the stock.

GDP doesn’t tell you very much about the serviceability of the debt. What we probably need is some sort of “serviceability score” that accounts for interest rates on the debt, rollover dates, tax collection, currency regime, etc. But that’s basically what ratings agencies do.
> most important their treatment of the dalit and lower castes.

Dalit are people from lower caste. Also, Indians have been actively engaged in removing the caste-based discrimination for decades now. It will take time. Do you know that at least 50% of all the jobs in the government sector are reserved from people in the lower caste? The same applied to college education as well. This percentage may be higher in some Indian states. Show me another country that has taken such drastic steps to correct historical wrongs.
It is insanely easy to spoof "caller ID", it is slightly harder to spoof whatever the "real source" thing is that's just below it.

One key thing is that they realised how to fix the gyroscopes which kept failing, with the new design gyroscopes it can keep pointing, replacing those would require a crew.
The Maidan Uprising was neither western-backed nor a military coup. It wasn't even a coup. The _legislature_ may have violated the constitutional process for removing a president, but the courts never ruled as such. It's also not a "civil war" when Russia invades Ukraine, even if there are separatists involved.

Access.

I spent about 100 hours on a shitty 11" Celestron last year learning all sorts of things about space and optics and image processing. I'm hooked even though the results are terrible. I can rent time on some big scopes in high places, but the results are still subject to all of the artifacts and attenuation of the atmosphere.

Putting up a large number of reasonably capable space telescopes could be a tremendous boon to space education and even science. Look at atmospheric transmittance charts, there are entire areas of the spectrum that we can't even see from the ground. Having all of that research piled up behind billion dollar hardware pipelines doesn't foster a lot of attention or momentum.
We have never operated as a meritocracy like that at a society wide level.
This doesn't make much sense. If your notes are just going to inform something that is low stakes that will not be reviewed by anyone for accuracy, then it's perfectly serviceable advice. For the vast numbers of note-reliant professionals who need to be able to cite accurately to sources, this advice is childish.

Do you need someone else's system? No, and I didn't even know that this "problem" existed before reading this. The advice ought to be amended to encourage readers to build their own note-taking systems that make sense for them in context. Another useful nugget of advice is to tailor the note-taking style for the task. A freestyle method is certainly appropriate to support an off-the-cuff speech to colleagues, but isn't appropriate for academic or legal research.

The notion that structure is somehow bad is also not salient when the body of research becomes very large. If you are working with research from 100 different books or drafting a legal argument that cites 50 different cases, statutes, and other sources, then it really helps to have some structure in your notes so that it is easy to browse and search through them. When a mistake due to sloppy notes is on your ass and will have bad results for everyone relying on you, then making it "like play" rather than "like work" will only have catastrophic results.
Fantastic. This year I managed to get my development environment(s) with declarative, shared configurations almost completely managed by nix. This is the first success for me after trying to do this with multiple tools over the past decade.

I'm blown away by what Nix/NixOS has accomplished without having a formal team in place. Kudos to the maintainer(s), community and best wishes to the new Nix Team.
> An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space.

From Wikipedia, sourced from The art of electronics.

Do you have a link to an explanation of what current is which makes the movement of charged particles almost irrelevant? If it turns out I (and Wikipedia, and all material I've seen on the topic) is wrong, I'd certainly love to know. I'm just interested in this stuff; I have only taken introductory courses at university and learned on a hobby basis, I haven't taken advanced courses.
Did you read the tweets they claimed are incitement to violence?

How on earth are either of those incitement to violence?
Running a business on an Apple II is at least as silly as running it on an
iPad since any kind of hardware failure is going to be harder to quickly resolve (unless you’re the kind of business that has electrical engineers to hand. But even then, it’s still not as quick as buying a new stick of RAM from the local computer store).

There is a sane middle ground between your experience and running CP/M on a 40 year old computer.

> software that's had 30 years to eliminate every last bug

Bugs can exist in hardware too. Plus I wouldn’t be so quick to assume that every last software bug would be fixed. For starters any bug fixes in that time could introduce new bugs. And there are often bugs that are time specific (like epoch overflows).
I believe you misread my "Plan enough is sometimes 3 months of work." which was referring to the wording of the parent comment "How bout, plan enough then just build the thing until we agree its usable and correct."

Plan it out - be it a napkin or post it notes or whatever. That isn't three months of planning.

My point is one of that if you do a "just then just build the thing until we agree its usable and correct" often doesn't get a first milestone until a month or two down the road.

Sprints, being frequent, are there to help people identify issues with planning sooner so that issues with timelines earlier.

Often the "then just build the thing" gets down a month and the customer or business realizes that you're not building the right thing... or that you're doing a demo of what was built and get a "oh, I thought you'd be further along by now - there's no budget left for this work."

Sprints are designed to make projects that fall into those situations fail sooner. The fail fast part of agile is often a hard pill for people to swallow. https://www.agile-academy.com/en/agile-dictionary/fail-fast/ and https://www.ibm.com/garage/method/practices/culture/failing-...

Planning up front or as you go or how much isn't at issue with sprints. It's making sure that the project doesn't go too far off the intended goal or is too far behind what the budget allows for - and making those issues visible sooner so that the appropriate changes (less scope, more budget, more timeline, or just canceling it all together) can be done sooner in the process.
> one of the most stark examples of bikeshedding

I think your reaction is an excellent example of a significant problem with discourse on the Internet.

Correct terms matter. Using incorrect terminology just because it's common is no excuse.

Being pedantic about things isn't helpful, either, but which is worse: a teacher in a specific field using terms incorrectly, and therefore passing along that incorrect usage, or someone pointing that out?

So let's reexamine: is this "one of the most stark examples of bikeshedding", or is this the Internet showing its lack of tolerance for a genuine care for facts and correctness?

For what it’s worth I was also unable to reproduce this. I’ve tried scanning but not clicking, AirDropping, iMessage, adding to Photos library, getting the url from Photos library… nothing triggered as a page visit.

Relatedly, searching for the url in my photos library does not return the picture as a result, indicating that the scanning is not being used for indexing currently. I was trying to test with other QR codes that I happened to have in my photos library, but every one of them has the website name in the picture.

I will keep the files on my computer and continue monitoring but I am becoming very skeptical of the Twitter thread author’s methodology.

In this case, "it's experimental" should be read as "maybe the team will decide to make changes", rather than "it's not going to work half the time".

e.g. one change they made was changing the property "defaultPackage" to "packages.default".

(Anyway, the UX improvements from flakes are good, that once you've got the boilerplate, flakes are amazing).

(US specific) "Crime is at historic lows"—depends on how you figure. Compared to many decades ago: yes it is lower. Compared to 4 years ago: murder rates have risen greatly in most major US cities, and murder is the most consistently and accurately reported crime (as opposed to lesser offences, where if they become very common that could induce people to not bother reporting them, because what's the point).

Now many years ago, I was in a chemical biology lab (= interrogating/modifying "biology" with "chemical" tools, half organic synth half pharma/bio) around the time that the term "click chemistry" became popular, and the PI got really fired up about it. Lots of other lab groups in adjacent departments were also really fired up about it.

Side note, "click chemistry" is kind of a marketing term in that it describes a process for modular assembly of moieties in one step in "biocompatible" conditions i.e. water without much poison in it, but which doesn't actually describe how to do that.

The first realization of this vision (or at least the first previously discovered system described as click chem) was copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, and for quite a while this was the only "click" reaction.

Omitting for brevity all the things that were attempted and reasons for doing so as they've been elaborated elsewhere in sibling threads, it was basically impossible to get anything working on/in actual living cells (or "embalmed" cells) although the "click" reaction worked fine in isolation. The parameter space here is pretty big; pharmacology of the things, copper concentration, temperature, time, doing all kinds of things to the cells, and we never figured it out, so it's tricky to find a root cause. One failure mode seemed to be that the copper catalyst caused protein aggregation and the labels being added stuck to the aggregates better than they stuck to the "click handle" alkyne, and there were other failure modes more related to pure pharmacology that probably also contributed (e.g. when the drug sticks to the target it does so in a position that blocks the alkyne "click handle" from being accessible). It was also impossible to reproduce a lot of high profile click labeling papers.

That point now seems like the trough of the hype cycle, so to speak. Apparently Bertozzi's subsequent work with strain promoted cycloadditions (= no protein-aggregating copper) is much more useful.

I'm guessing other people with negative commentary got burned by the early promises of click chem in the real world -- Also, that Sharpless got it for an abstract "product vision" (the award is because "he coined the concept of click chemistry, which is a form of simple and reliable chemistry"), Meldal got it for the CuAAC reaction which actually sucks for biology, and Bertozzi's work doesn't stand on its own.

That used to be at least manageable, as most of them were via 5-6 digit short codes, and those additionally respected the STOP keyword.

Lately, I've been getting SMS spam from individual peoples' numbers, because politicians have realized they can say "hey go send this text to these numbers" to individual volunteers (SMS version of the old phone banking technique) to get around even that. STOP keyword doesn't do anything on a regular person's cell phone number.

If you imagine a 'simple' economy, the way to store your wealth is to buy gold and stick it in a safe. In a 'simple' economy, gold is the least risky commodity of exchange. Now consider that US treasuries are arguably less risky than gold, and are easier to exchange.

>So... does this just go up indefinitely without consequence?

Oh for sure. history has many examples. Greece and Venezuela are your more recent ones. Basically it goes up until the bankers and funds no longer want your debt. THEN the consequences happen.

when the government debt to gdp reaches above 100%, like too many countries have, then credit ratings start dropping. Absolutely nothing will get in your way to pump that up to 200%. The lenders don't care if you're making a terrible decision or not; just whether or not you keep paying. At around 200% is when you struggle to keep paying and your credit rating shifts to junk and nobody wants your debt anymore.
