> Then Base(10) 3 aka Base(2) 11 converted to Base(sqrt2) would be 101. But it is actually 1000.000001

I don't see how. As per the expansion definition in the article 101 = 2+0+1 = 3

1000.000001 = sqrt(8) + epsilon.

The article spends a lot of time talking about black holes, I'd rather hear more about wormholes and the quantum entanglement problem. That is something that you can easily demonstrate on a desktop and is going on all around us (whereas evaporating black holes are not). An entangled quantum state being composed of a wormhole is more or less what I've thought should be the way to resolve the non-locality of the measurement problem. You need a physical theory of quantum wormholes though which doesn't violate causality and cannot be used for superluminal communication. Then some sort of conditions which causes the entanglement to "snap" and become observed (of course that might not help with the black hole information paradox).

Why are you in a coffee shop using VR? Go somewhere else if you want to be somewhere else!

If I owned a coffee shop I'd ban VR headsets. You are in my coffee shop to be in my coffee shop. Go home to use VR or sit in the park or something!
Just ban everybody. The beauty of Twitter is that is actually makes people believe they are part of the conversation. Like Kanye or Trump actually reads the responses to their comments and thoughtfully considers their opinions and might even change their minds.
It's a useful site but like I said, I was just interested in seeing the responses on HN.
I only had one interaction with the police. I was walking across Red Square when a cop car pulled up and they blew a whistle at me. I had no clue. Then a another pedestrian said to me in English, "You have to walk between the marked lines." I had been walking just anywhere on the roadway. And it is a 'roadway for vehicles', not a 'square for pedestrians' to go where they like. I suppose the cops thought it'd be too much paperwork to charge me with jay-walking.

The previous comment reminds me of how older people used to describe the internet when it was slowly gaining traction. It’s obvious that there were a lot of rough edges, but it would be really short sighted not to see the future potential. The same thing happened to the first smart phones.
Austria would be one such country. Technically, a law was passed but a court decided that a law must be passed and if the government didn't it would have been dismissed.
If we weren't already talking about a luxury item such as a VR headset, I might agree. But I can't feel sorry for someone who buys a non-essential item and then feels hard done by because they didn't buy a better non-essential item to be honest.
It's still lisp right? You can just do your "(out ...)" like the 2003 guy suggests and not use the format form if you don't like, why get rid of it for everyone else?

And sharing lisp code, is that a thing people do? (this half an insult half a joke) So you can easily enforce your own ideals in your own project.

Its based on stack ranking-- there's probably a set pie for the quarter based on business and the voting tells you how to divide it up.
By report all are empty now.

There are crudely carved inscriptions on some that are very obviously not by whoever did the exquisite original work of making the boxes. Tagging work that was already ancient was a favorite activity of dynastic Egyptians. Ramesses II was especially fond of the practice, but for some reason not even he tagged pyramids.

Some later generation of Egyptology will acknowledge that a cartouche carved into a piece of stonework only fixes a lower bound on its age, and cannot by itself identify who made it. You can feel with your fingertips the difference between the quality of the work that went into the tagging, vs the original work. The oldest and best work had originally no inscriptions, although they were easily added.

Somehow the methods for doing the very best stone work were lost, early on. Early pillars were made all in one piece, later were stacked. It is hard to believe later generations were always just too impatient to bother doing top quality work.
> Identified electors cast ballots on paper counted under recorded and public observation.

You mean that the vote is tied to the voter, so everyone can tell X voted for Y? That sounds horrible.

If you mean that paper votes are simply counted under recorded observation (and observation by representatives of all parties) I would point out that didn't help in the US.

As far as I understand, wormholes are a valid solution to the equations governing relativity. Our best theories suggest that if a wormhole magically popped into existence, it would simply continue to exist without violating any known laws. It's possible wormholes have existed since the beginning of the universe, and this wouldn't require any revision in our understanding of cosmology.

The more thorny question is whether/how wormholes could be created in the "modern universe" where they didn't exist before. My interpretation is that opinions vary widely on this, from "it's impossible because it would take an infinite amount of energy" to "we're pretty sure humans will be making these some day and we have a rough idea how they'll be doing it".

Of course, wormholes simply not existing anywhere is also compatible with relativity. None have ever been observed.

To be honest, I'd not be too bothered by that specific ad. Hoever, I gave up using Ubuntu long ago with the push for snap applications and all the mayhem it caused.

* Oh, you want to install a package, here are two very distant versions in snap and apt. Select one!

* Oh you selected snap, sorry now all program starts are slow now because we need to mount compressed disk for sandboxing.

* Oh, this snap does not support sandboxing, here install with --classic flag.

I use macOS daily, but when I need Linux, I use Arch btw (meme) but seriously it's much more clear.
I don't quite understand the "Every 100ms faster → 1% more conversions" tag line (in the context of how Qwik improves over competitors)

AFAIK Qwik would have a similar initial load time to other server-side rendered frameworks where all you send across the wire first is the HTML and CSS to render that particular page. That's the initial page load.

From there it loads the JS which then hydrates data and turns it into a functioning React app. So what Qwik claims to improve over other solutions is the time-to-interactive metric, rather than the initial page load. Is this a correct assessment?

If so, then the "100ms -> 1% more conversions" buy line does not seem to really follow on from the actual improvements of Qwik over other methods. Anyone understand this more than me?
As a developer, almost all the positions people contact me about are remote. Some are hybrid. Very few are physically on-site anymore. Just one person’s observation.

In my college days the filtering started because half of the IT students were playing World of Warcraft from the school network. Which obviously triggered a cat and mouse game of introducing new blocking measures and trying to get around it. When we were not trying to get WoW to work we were busy showing off our Compiz rotating desktop cubes. Those where the days.

It's my understanding that the 160m size chunk of stuff in question has been described as a "rubble pile". Probably not stuck together very well.

What are the theories of what would happen if you hit such a thing, in a scenario where you needed to deflect it, with a high velocity 9000 kg mass (vs the much smaller and low cost DART), and instead of altering its orbit it broke up into a bunch of medium sized chunks?
I could say the same. Be more specific please. If everything I've said is wrong it should be easy to point out something demonstrably false.

I'm confused about the maze example in the article: I can "prove" that I know the path to exit as I traverse the maze in limited time, okay. But interactive proofs have many iterations to sufficiently convince the verifier, however if I found the exit by luck in first try, I've already found it and I can simply follow the same path in the next iterations.

How does the interactivity exactly work with the maze example?
I feel like having all the options you'll want available is the best practice. I feel like python people went from liking long concatenations with arguments being infix with python2 print statements to str.format in early python3 and friends to liking long concatenations again with fstrings all again. And now we get the joy of having long conditional statements in the middle of a string, rather than it being assigned to a variable before the string, as god intended.

Really, the right answer is having options for string interpolation (as long as they are safe (that is not perl)) and let programmers choose because string interpolation is just another one of those bikeshedding things that developers change their opinions on as the seasons change.

I woudl say taht Python has scoping, yes, but it does not have lexical scoping in any sense of "lexical scoping" that I am aware of. If it did, the code below would not actually work ,as the outside-the-loop print would be trying to access a variable not available in the lexical scope of "the function body", as it is defined and established within the lexical scope of "the loop".

So, at least in my book, no, Python has "global scope", "function scope" and probably one or two more scopes (I think there's a "class scope" as well).

Here's some code in Python, and some equivalent code in Go.

def foo(a_list):
print(f"list is {len(a_list} elements")

for element in a_list:
print(element)
print(element)

And here's the equivalent Go code:

func foo(aList []int) { // Let's use ints...
fmt.Printf("list is %d elements\n", len(aList))
var element int // Notice this declaration! This is ensuring that element is declared outside the lexical scope of the for loop
for _, element = range aList {
fmt.Println(element)
}
fmt.Println(element)
}

And? Again we have one person who thinks that the (proven) Russian interference might have taken the election away from her. She's probably wrong, so?

We have a second who has actually tried to have a democratic result overturned and tries his best to undermine it at every turn, through 'soft' pressure by cajoling officials, through many failed court cases, through inflammatory rhetoric and eventually through raising a mob. A person who continues to attack the election result and throw accusations of vast, entirely unevidenced illegal conspiracies.

These are not the same. It's a ridiculous false equivalence. I'm not American, I have no particular love for Hilary Clinton, but I saw the footage of January 6th and I know how out of the ordinary that is. Trump's conduct is far more than someone mithering about a loss they perceived as unfair, and to attempt to put these on a level is disingenuous at best.
I mean the feds goal is to raise unemployment at this point (to slow down inflation) so in that sense this the fear of a recession is in fact creating a recession?

I wish there was a mode that gave me everything except lazy load.

I like the idea, though I do fear the level of complexity (while necessary for the problems it's trying to solve) will further push away non-web developers from the web space.

But my concern is that if I'm on spotty wifi, and I click a button or scroll the page, the actual behaviors of that button or the components scrolling into view may not function for a solid 5-10 seconds while my phone attempts to establish a connection. I love that the framework's demos make it really easy to see what's going on - for example, under the "Simple useWatch()" demo, you can see that the JS file that actually updates the page when the "+" button is clicked, does not get loaded from the server until the first time you click the button. Similarly with the "Below the fold Clock" button, that clock will be rendered correctly for some specific time (default to 10:20:30 in the example code) when you initially scroll down, but won't actually update to the current time until a network connection has been established, javascript downloaded, parsed, and executed - none of which kicks off until you scroll the clock into view, meaning you may be staring at a non-functional clock for 1-5 seconds until it snaps into reality.

It seems to me that there would be no downside to having these JS files preloaded in the background after the initial page load finishes. Curious why they went with the completely lazy loading strategy.

As an aside, it seems these JS files are loaded from a service worker. I have no idea why that would be remotely necessary, but it prevents me from playing around with this idea using the chrome devtools, as the service worker doesn't seem to be subjected to the network tab's "ignore cache" or internet throttling simulation (for example, returning the .js file in 2ms despite throttling being set to simulate a network latency of 300ms).
This is just like early smart phones, early PCs, and the internet before the 2000s. Yes, there are many flaws, but can’t people see the future potential?

We’ve used it in quite large setups as well, works great. Though their documentation is far from ideal.
In the "the variable lives in the function scope", the answer is unequivocally "it should be bound once and updated", if it only exists in the scope of the loop function, both "it is bound on each iteration" (and thus safe to close over without surprise) and "it is bound once and updated" are valid answers, but I have a preference for the first, but many languages actually choose the second.
