> Helix is built from the ground up around Tree-Sitter and LSP

And what happens in ten or twenty years, when both are obsolete? I don't really care, what technologies my text editor is built on top of, but I sure would like to be able to still use it for writing my memoirs when I'm old.
Interesting thought. Although: I don't see any ads on the webpage, which makes it even stranger? Am I missing something? PS: No, I don't have an adblocker - on purpose.
Here is 90% of all the wrapping you'll ever need over localStorage:

function ls_get(k) {
JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(k))
}

function ls_set(k, v) {
localStorage.setItem(k, JSON.stringify(v))
}
The west defeated the socialist alternative lurking behind the iron curtain and all bargaining power of unions went to hell. Rollback started right after the discovery what a brittle giant the Sovjet Union really was (about 1970s-1980s) and kept going ever since.

Stand alone, with no gun to its head, capitalism auto decays into the neo-feudalism of the guilded age. And alot of the gullible citizenry supported this return to nothing.

Something I don't fully understand:
- Let's say the UK treasure issues bonds. 10, 20, and 30-year bonds at 3%, which are then purchased by pensions.
- Risk of recession grows, and the price of bonds fall and yields rise because risks go up.
- The Bank of England buys bonds to prop up bond prices.

- Since the UK treasury has already issued the bonds at a fixed rate, why do they care what the secondary aftermarket price of their bonds is?

- How does propping up the bond market reduce the risk of the impending recession or help the UK treasury pay off its debt obligations?

- Doesn't keeping yields low just help the treasury sell more cheap bonds (ie take out more debt)?

I may have answered my own question. The problem with the greater than 100% Debt to GDP ratio means that, should they decide to stop printing money, they'd immediately go into default on existing debt, regardless of the interest rate.

What if the UK Gov't passed a law to prevent the treasury from issuing any new bonds, and the Bank of England stopped QE. The UK would go into austerity, while it reduces the Debt to GDP. What if interest rates were then dropped to zero to stimulate the economy. There would be inflation until the economy finds equilibrium with all the extra money that has already been printed. Reducing interest rates will devalue the British Pound - and Britain is a net importer. So, yeah.. thats no good.

Check mate indeed.
I'm looking forward to seeing Org Mode implemented as a language server. It's unfortunate that such a great general text organization tool is locked into the relatively small Emacs user community.
This is interesting. Does exist some kind of extraction of the PDF generating part of inkscape, so you do not have to start inkscape all over again for generating PDF files? Or is there a good and fast command line tool, that can produce PDF from Inkscape PDF files?
They're acceptable. You get what you pay for. I have two of their 4K monitors on my desk (though only one is currently hooked up to my desktop; the other just runs my PS4 at the moment), and aside from some flickering sometimes when they first power on / wake up they work well enough. A prior job of mine involved setting up a bunch of Sceptre 4K TVs for dashboards / metrics displays / leaderboards on a warehouse floor (as well as for the warehouse's conference room) and they were adequate. I had one at home that burned out from being on 24/7 for a couple years in my living room; it's in storage until I get around to troubleshooting it, but they're cheap enough that I might very well buy a second one.

Long story short: they ain't LGs, but they're surprisingly acceptable for the price.

I think that what the author is suggesting is that you still have an open world problem that causes #2 to rear its head eventually, due to #1.

You can try to use plain syntax to narrow types, but the only way to head off the gnarly errors is to close the universe of type parameters. That turns out to be a pretty weak form of generics.
Small B&B's with reception/concierge are rare (at least here in Florence), but while I would not totally exclude such "financial ties", they would be anyway with "good enough" restaurants that are not the "for tourists" ones, of course it may depend on cases, but it would not make any sense for the B&B or hotel to recommend a "bad" place, they would risk to irk the customer.
Automatic Regex UI Builder/Generator

Advise me, please:
1. How can I further improve/simplify the interface?
2. Do I need to add some more functionality?
I’ve worked remotely for almost a decade and have taken some notes on this topic. My three big suggestions are:

- Have in-person meet-ups as often as possible. It can be at an industry conference or just having everyone visit the same city for a weekend. Working with someone online is very different from meeting them in real life.

- Add more “fun channels” to Slack, but don’t mandate participation. It should be easy for people to share details about their everyday life without feeling awkward about it. This is what my street looks like, this is what I ate for dinner, here’s what I did last weekend, etc. However, don’t force people to do this or it will quickly build resentment.

- Over-communicate what the company’s plans are, what the founders’ opinions are, the future roadmap, your values, etc. This stuff is mostly obvious when working in-person but can be completely unknown if you’ve only worked with people remotely.
> just that the borrow checker doesn't fully check here

That's incorrect. The borrow checker performs the same checks inside `unsafe` blocks as everywhere else.

`unsafe` blocks can perhaps best be summarized as areas of code where memory safety rules are relaxed. The borrow checker deals with ownership, and ownership rules are still fully enforced inside `unsafe` constructs.

That is true for nominal type systems such as Java’s.

However TypeScript’s structural typing is much more flexible, because it is designed to describe the types of all the existing JavaScript code out there (via the DefinitelyTyped project).

This gives the best of both worlds: the freedom to express the architecture you need, plus the freedom to actually refactor an existing code base into that new architecture without introducing many bugs. Dynamically typed languages give you the former but not the latter.
All the talk of not hiring people of certain backgrounds, ghosting women etc. Is not restricted to Infosys. Working in many British companies I have seen this at rampant scale, the only difference is it's not officially spoken or written but often wrapped up with some other excuse like "oh they weren't the right fit"

L systems underpin the incredible Paint Effects of The 3D program Maya. It was used as the basis for the forest in the animation Shrek. It is also mad fun to play with, and very easy to learn.
Because it's no-longer content addressing: if you are addressing your content by a name, to allow it to mutate, then you aren't addressing it by its content. You're addressing it by a name.

And not to beat a dead horse, but IPNS doesn't work very well. These days people tend to build their own naming systems using layers of IPLD hashes instead.
The UK's bond issues have a lot to do with how their pension funds are structured. If you want to learn a bit more about it, the latest Bloomberg Odd Lots podcast is quite good: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-06/odd-lots-...
Does the patient population play a role? I see mostly Europeans here.

The Japanese have a higher colon cancer rate, what percent die there?
Wikipedia is sceptical about that:

"An article in the British Medical Journal about European tortures describes a method of tickle torture in which a goat was compelled to lick the victim's feet because they had been dipped in salt water. Once the goat had licked the salt off, the victim's feet would be dipped in the salt water again and the process would repeat itself.[...] However, it remains unclear if this method was ever used in practice as it is only described in the 1502 Tractatus de indiciis et tortura by the Italian jurist and monk Franciscus Brunus de San Severino – a treatise that actually cautioned against torture in general – and while it seems clear that Franciscus Brunus had not made up this practice, the issue is left open whether the inclusion in the treatise is based on hearsay, (reliable) eye-witness accounts, or personal experience.[...] This uncertainty does not preclude this anecdote from being repeated in popular culture, for instance during a 2013 episode of the British satirical quiz show QI.[...]"

True.

If you could actually pay once to have a file stored forever, that would be useful. "Perpetual care" for data would be valuable. There are Filecoin people who will take your money to do that, but don't have the credibility.

Now, if Berenberg Bank (private bankers since 1590 and still a substantial bank) managed the funding for this, it might be credible. One of the things they do is handle money on the scale of centuries.

I think you're actually misunderstanding what david38 and Retric are discussing. They're saying they're in agreement and that the US and Central America are similar, but not "equally bad".
> given that they were trying to incarcerate an innocent person in the case I think that the detectives in this case were either incompetent, or immoral.

It really doesn’t need to be that exciting. For the most part, it’s much more mundane. A detective comes up with a theory (let’s not forget…American “detectives” are poorly trained in actual detection), and they need to close a case so they are highly primed to prioritize any evidence that supports their theory.
> Now imagine an editor like Neovim, but instead of working through 30 years of cruft and legacy code, it's built from the start using modern software engineering techniques and incorporates such features into its core editing model.

User inertia is strong. Neovim has its success because of its improvement, but more importantly, the keymap and config language is based on Vim7. Vim7 users can painlessly switch to Neovim with all config preserved. That's the main reason why Neovim can gain a large number of users initially. Conversely, Helix has no keymap nor configuration compatibility with Vim or other mainstream editors. Given this, I see no hope that Helix will become mainstream.
That’s interesting.
Can you name any other concentration camps that shoot thousands of rockets at civilian cities? ‘Cause that’s what coming out of Gaza.
The study results are "colonoscopies do not lead to a reduction in colon cancer mortality". Reporting that isn't misleading that's what the study says.

Basically in the treated group of 1103 of every 10,000 people died. And in the control group 1104 of every 10,000 people died.

So to summarize the study. Inviting someone to a colonoscopy reduces their risk of getting colon cancer by 22 basis points.
Their risk of dying from colon cancer by 3 basis points, and their risk of dying of any cause by 1 basis point.

With the actual risk reduction being up to 5x this assuming it's a 20% difference in the rate of getting colonoscopies which is driving the difference.

But this makes metformin look good because it drives a much larger overall reduction in risk.
Thanks for your comment. To address Amazon's supremacy I'm working on a "No Amazon" filter that ignores Amazon and any Amazon subsidiaries.
Yeah, when the author writes "external" I think they mean "runs outside the Python interpreter process".
"Useless junk" like food? I don't think you have a clear picture of what people buy at Wal-mart.
I feel this is a really reasonable take. This study doesn’t say anything bad about colonoscopy, it says that it is possible the effects are not only due to the colonoscopy so it is probably between 0 and claimed effect effective. Can’t really say where in the range from the study.
There is no serious alternative for the purely editorial stuff but still lots of room for improvement.

For the application-like stuff… there was some good and some bad in Java applets, Flex, and Silverlight but none of that had a barrier as low as HTML/CSS/JS.

I think the way forward is for HTML and the DOM is to adopt ideas from the framework space (like one/two-way binding) and expose more high-level UI elements out of the box.

Just imagine something like:

<script>
const myDataTable = new DataTable()
myDataTable.head = ["Foo", "Bar", "Baz"]
myDataTable.items = [[1, 2, 3],[4, 5, 6]]
</script>
<table binding="myDataTable" class="my-data-table" sortable />

with everything needed built into the platform, and no hard need for any third-party framework.
Obviously depends on location, but normally only state-funded firefighters are performing the prevention duties (and have authority to fine people and companies).
Limited wildlife in wetlands? No. Wetlands are among the most richly bio diverse ecological niches. Humans regard themselves as somehow outside the system in which they evolved.

Smelly? The presence of volatile compounds interacting with your olfactory receptors that trigger certain aversive reactions is a poor justification for destroying a natural habitat.
You need more tire pressure then. Either that, or you're using tires with some heavy-duty puncture protection.
Thanks! Once I'm done accommodating more regions into the tool, it should also allow filters for international shipping which will ofcourse have much higher delivery times but as you say will often be significantly cheaper overall.
You can't keep paying new college hires > $150k/year with zero experience and not assume the money won't run out some day. That bubble had a slow leak and now they've finally run out of oxygen. I'm surprised it took this long. Zuck losing his goddamn mind with this metaverse nonsense didn't help matters.
This talk just made me realize how little I understand about what the firmware is really doing. I had previously understood the BIOS to be a small piece of firmware that runs the bootloader at startup and maybe some other coordination between other hardware devices and the CPU. Then CPU takes over and the firmware takes a backseat. The speaker mentioned a whole can of firmware worms that I had no idea even existed.

I’m interested to see the progress of open source firmware now.
Shameless plug: use HeyHomepage.com with it's Really Social Sites (RSS) functionality. As easy as Wordpress to setup. Already millions of feeds one can subscribe to. A goodlooking website with your own timeline, which you can also use to share (and therefor 'curate') other interesting RSS posts.
You can, in fact, tickle yourself. Or at least I can tickle my feet with my fingernails or a feather or whatever and induce an involuntary jerking away from the source of the tickling. Perhaps I'm a unique specimen (my mother will be delighted that she was right all along).

I sadly think some of these subjects become sort of a snooze fest because at the time you are learning them, you are so far away from applying the patterns. It's far closer to stamp collection than any actual implementation for the average undergrad.

Back first year when we had linear algebra, I was pretty much the only guy who absolutely aced the exam. Not because I was the smartest or hardest working, but because I applied everything we learned to a game I was building, a 3d spaceship simulator. Vector products, planar projections, rotation matrices, I mainlined all of it, I pored over the book in my spare time with great enthusiasm. For the rest of the class it was just yet concept after abstract concept being piled on with no place to apply them.
If you want something to be fast you need it stored locally. Storage used to be big and expensive, thus the cloud. And network used to be slow and expensive too, so the uplink direction wasn’t very effective unless there was a company behind it.

Which is to say - the main technical problems that hampered BitTorrent probably aren’t there anymore.
My understanding is that this kind of assimilation of religion is known as "syncreticism" (which I learned from Crusader Kings) and happens often in history, for example Christianity adopting aspects of pagan religions (i.e. Thursday = Thor's Day) or when the Greeks ruled Egypt and invented interpretations of the Egyptian gods in the form of their own (Ptolemy's Egypt, which I learned about from Assassin's Creed)
Puerto Rico is mis-managed in budget, revenue, and planning. Also, not a USA State.

Some USA ski towns have tens of millions banked and are using that to build.

Am interested in learning why you think USA feds can do these local housing projects. Feds run massive fiscal deficits.
Yes it seems some adblocking extensions interfere with the affiliate linking, I'm going to build something that detects adblockers and then gives the raw link if an adblocker is active. Should fix your UX issues in your normal browser.
LSP will not become obsolete, it will evolve. The entire industry is rallying around LSP, and Microsoft is constantly improving the protocol. In "ten or twenty years" LSP will have become a required feature for every programming language and every text editor. It will be essentially impossible to replace it with any other technology because of the massive investment already made in the ecosystem.

I can imagine Tree-Sitter slowly losing importance because LSP is integrating semantic highlighting, but Tree-Sitter will still be an easy option for writing grammars in the absence of a full-featured language server.

So where is the redesign? This is like saying that a repository is down for two years, but it's fine, since they promised to fix that. Also, it's much worse, because Apple knows every app you run, including, e.g., Tor Browser. Do you think it's good for your privacy? Can you yourself fix that on "your" computer, which you "control"?
People want reliability, and reliability of commercial solutions like Apple Music or YouTube is already crap. We’ve just learned not to notice.

> In all cases, the Docker daemon is running under Linux. The Mac and Windows versions are merely bundling up a Linux VM containing Docker with a frontend that's as transparent as possible, but still with Linux as a hard requirement.

Working on other regions, unfortunately I have to do it region by region which slows me down. Should have 3-4 more regions up by the end of the week and I'll be adding about 2 a week afterwards for the next few weeks.
Well I wouldn't call it a myth because it's actually true.

Plus the Asian Americans grouping actually consists of dozen of different origins, so viewing them as just one model minority is quite deceiving when we're actually talking about a very diverse group.

And perhaps it's not an argument against racism, but I don't see why it's not an argument against your claim that racism is the root cause of inequality when you have multiple racial groups achieving financial success.

And aren't non-hispanic whites becoming a minority fairly soon anyway?

And just to clarify, I'm believe racism exists and is a problem, but I'm not sure that's the main cause of inequality.
> One interesting and obscure connection is the origin of the words "hell" and "hall", as "hall" means "covered place" and "valhalla" means "hall of the dead" from Old Norse.

It's not clear what connection you have in mind. You could make the case that "hell" and "hall" are connected to each other through their ancient ancestry, but "hell" is no more closely related to "valhalla" than it is to "hall". "Valhalla" is just a word that includes "hall".
Atlassian recently got rid of its on-premise offerings for all but data center deployments which only larger customers opt for. So yeah they do not want your money.
With sympathy to the parent poster, who may have grown up in a religious tradition that tries to equate biblical truth with historical/scientific truth across the board, remember that the concept that there is such a thing as scientific truth, or at least a scientific explanation, is itself pretty modern.

The origin stories are about creating identity and revealing deep aspects of psychology and sociology. They may also contain echos of earlier events.

They were not written to fill up ignorance, but to teach wisdom.

Taught that way, they contain many helpful insights.

The claim that Adam and Eve is "literally what happened" is ridiculous on its face. Talking snakes? Really?

But there is a lot of wisdom in the story.
How do we know there's a casual connection?
Sure, the yield cure was inverted, but if you asked an economist about that in late 2019 they could have given you plenty of reasons for that, but Covid would not have been one of them.
I agree. Even if intention-to-treat is the gold standard endpoint for trials, a more accurate and nuanced headline for the general public would be:
