I was looking for a quick way to update my version from the command line (ubuntu), but --options didn't show anything off hand like an --update/--upgrade. I just briefly skimmed the docs/google for something that would avoid having to reinstall the binary.

EDIT: also is there a way to configure the IDE that pops up when I go to edit path? It's vim which is fine, I'm just curious if I can either integrate a custom vim installation or route it to another IDE.
The vendor lock-in risk is definitely real, but, really, what are the chances that AWS will stop offering Lambda? or GCP will end-of-life BigTable?
Sure, but none of those are even remotely competitive with lithium batteries - except for hydroelectricity, which requires the right geography for a dam or pumped storage.
Maybe Patti Smith simply didn't want it to be available anymore because she doesn't want to be associated with it any longer. She probably doesn't have much influence over the covers of the song.
Are you aware that self-driving cars don’t work yet, and mars hasn’t been colonized?

HTTP and Email are extremely narrow, have had vast amounts of work put into them over time, and are still deeply flawed. They have also developed at a glacial pace.

Your examples show that money can’t magically solve hard problems, and ironically, that even the narrowest forms of interoperability are extremely hard.
No I wouldn’t say so. I got stronger but as I started running daily my flexibility has reduced again (lots of hamstring and hip flexor tightness!). I would say it was a permanent shift in that I haven’t had a panic attack since.

Hmm. Well, personally speaking, I find the concept of "enlightenment" itself to be delusional at best, but probably actual grifting. So, to my mind, someone insisting that Watts isn't doing it right seems rather rich. But, to each their own, and if I can live and let live, then the author can.
It may be true, but why a judge or jury would accept it as justification is beyond me. "My business model requires me to break the law." is a condemnation of the business model, not a justification.

Yeah. Precision of accelerometers is a tough problem. Dealt with some on my engineering degree and because they measure the second derivative of position we can add 'integrate' it twice to get the position, but that process yielded terrible results after centimeters. The imperfect nature of accelerometers adds up a lot of errors along the way. An entirely theoretical, infinitely sensitive, and perfect accelerometer would give us the perfect position if we know what is our starting position and although I don't have any experience with a "quantum" accelerometer, I don't think a quantum accelerometer is perfect enough and I don't think this article made a good case about it.

I thought of a silly project though: What if we tried to fix the problem of customer-grade accelerometers being too imprecise by parallelizing the accelerometers?

We would connect a large number of sensitive accelerometers, something like 100 or 1000, maybe of different frequencies, and feed a segment of the sensory data over time to a neural network measuring the fitness of it towards minimizing the prediction error for long distance traveling such as needed by ships or anything really. Does anyone know if any project has been attempted in the past?
Quite a heart warming story. I hope this inspires a lot of people. Kudos to him.
> Why so much attention to the far-right?

Because elite media is left-ish, and has great power to focus attention on some things but not on others.
Thank you for the comment. The word that struck me most in your reply was "absurd". It's a very accurate description. I had always thought the word "horror" was a good label, and "cosmic horror" was a good way of describing a suffering life where you eventually die.

We are like cosmic ants on our little ant hill of a planet that can be kicked over by any number of events not least self inflicted annihilation through nuclear war.

It makes sense to me that most people without meaning will fall into distraction, hedonism or nihilism.

In a way I was lucky as my meaning was thrust on me as a parent.
The best way I've heard it put is that the voluntary acceptance of responsibility creates meaning. That said, I was never going to shirk my responsibilities as a parent.

Having someone else who needed me gave me the meaning necessary to endure enormous suffering, to never let go, and to keep pushing through.

If I wasn't a parent I don't know how I would have done.

It's strange now to reflect because my life is so much better now and I'm oddly thankful for the ordeal.

Adobe and Pantone, a major color designer, have struck a deal where you need to pay additional licensing fees to access a portion of Pantone's color palette in Adobe products[0]. This has made a lot of people, very understandably, quite frustrated, as Adobe products will now replace those Pantone colors with black when you open a project that uses them.

If Xi was involved from nearly day 1 then you have to assume the Chinese intel agencies were also involved since Nov 2019. Meaning there was total and thorough information control. Including potentially which hospital cases became public to researchers and when.

> … we sent key documents to experts on CCP communications. They told us that the WIV dispatches did indeed signal that the institute faced an acute safety emergency in November 2019; that officials at the highest levels of the Chinese government weighed in; and that urgent action was taken in an effort to address ongoing safety issues. The documents do not make clear who was responsible for the crisis, which laboratory it affected specifically or what the exact nature of the biosafety emergency was.

> …[we] separately got three experts on CCP communications to review the WIV meeting summary. All agreed that it appeared to be urgent, nonroutine and related to some sort of biosafety emergency. Two also agreed that it appeared Xi himself had issued a pishi.

> A former senior U.S. intelligence official said that, while the pishi [link, AT] in the dispatch is not necessarily a smoking gun, he reads it as saying that “there is some issue related to lab security, which doesn’t come up very often, that needed to be seen by Xi Jinping.” He added, “Something signed off on by the General Secretary (Xi) and Premier (Li) is high priority.”

Of course controlling all information is always difficult, especially when early reports are going to be vague flu-like symptoms. But given the information environment in such a situation it’s difficult to trust any raw information after that point if a) the lab did in fact have a serious bio safety incident and b) the highest echelons of the Chinese gov were involved well before reports start surfacing in the food market.
Of course you can. That said, there is a higher goal. You should work towards building software services that contain fewer bugs and are more reliable than the market based alternatives. Fixing other peoples stuff severely limits your potential IMHO.
> You must understand that there are people out there primarily driven by fear and hatred, that, once given positions of power, will use that power to denigrate or otherwise erode the humanity of people they simply don't like.

Sounds like both current-day US political parties, so we're not doing a very good job at preventing this.
Oh yikes. Yeah I can see how that would be horrible advice...
Appreciate the example. We remain drawing different conclusions from it, but this further explanation will benefit many readers, so thank you.
sorry, I have no ide what other strategic resources you mean and in general, can you please elaborate on what you mean? thanks!
Haha, you're so close to getting it.

And yet so far.
I think you imply it, but the important part is whether someone can learn a new position.

People quoting the "Peter Principle" usually ignore that it is normal to promote beyond current skill level, since it is common to learn a position when in that position.

The Peter Principle is that eventually an employee hits a roadblock where they are failing to learn the new position. That failure is usually attributed to the person, but I would guess the root cause is usually a lack of training ability within the organisation (not commonly recognised as the problem).

I am not a manager, but I see these stereotypical misconceptions all the time... I'm not accusing you of ignorance at all: I'm just pointing out you could be clearer to help us all!
You need statuses, a bank account, cap table, proof of capital deposit, registration in your state, city, a healthcare and dental provider, 401k, worker's compensation, payroll provider, insurance, accountant / attorney.

What? You don't need ANY of those things in the US. One-person LLCs are practically ubiquitous. You just submit a one-page form to your state and send in a nominal filing fee.

Depending on how you do business and how many employees you have besides yourself, you may need to deal with the rest of that list, but they are absolutely not prerequisites.

Heroku still has a free tier which is comparable to Render, Fly.io and all the other alternatives people keep bringing up. The mythical "an unlimited number of sites & DBs hosted for free forever" option everyone is looking for simply doesn't exist.
No, but not because of performance. Malloc/free is required for deterministic runtime behavior. A GC would take that away.

Would Linus accept a language that is more than 1% slower than optimal? Yes, he already does. It's called C. C is slower than optimal assembly.

He chose C because it is easier to write large systems in a higher level language, and it is far easier to write cross platform code in.
What about that describes why it should not be implemented? All he says is "I don't like it and it is not acceptable". If you write a paper and have it proof-read by many competent people, then hand that paper in to a teacher and get back an F with "This is no good, it has flaws I do not consider acceptable", would you think that was reasonable explanation for failing your paper?
2nd this, a top tier accelerator will do a lot to get you prepared for launching your product or raising money.

Twitter had become a platform not for discourse, but for passing judgment instead of disagreeing. I prefer to ignore peoples judgmentalisms, but unfortunately, they seem to have militated to enforce them.

At the risk of being a bit too cheeky, if these users are really that concerned about unregulated opinion, maybe they should build their own platform or buy one of the struggling ones out? They have the advantage that people want to be around them because of their personal qualities, and there's no danger of them losing their bank accounts, or having their ISPs threatened with unrelated litigation, and I hear the fediverse is pretty cool. I would love to read their collective wit on Mastadon.

Beyond cheek, it's a good test of the argument. Instead of suffering on twitter, why not just move to a platform that is more welcoming to their judgments?
With syscalls you can mmap the ethernet controller's DMA region and write directly to it; zero copy to the wire and back. In Virgil, there's literally no restriction on what Linux syscalls you can do, so why not that too. Though, Range<byte> of off-heap memory (a new Virgil feature implemented with fat pointers), is probably better; you don't even have to leave the memory-safe core language to manipulate off-heap data.
Truly inspiring. Keep up the good work!

The article isn't as aggressive as the headline, but it also doesn't really give a clear picture of Watts. He had a lot of issues in his personal life, but as the article parenthetically mentions, he helped a lot of people too. If you want to know more about Watts and what he means to people, I would suggest finding some of his lectures on YouTube (avoid the ones with new agey music).

Watts was a connoisseur of fascinating ideas. It's easy to criticize his syncretism as "watered down Buddhism", and you can't take everything he (or anyone) says as gospel, but there's plenty of insight in his lectures. And he will point you towards a hundred other thinkers with amazing ideas to share.
Did you notice I haven't mention systemd in my comment at all? And other than this first sentence, I am not going to mention it in this comment at all.

The important thing is not who won, but the fact that the idea of writing init scripts in bash/sh has lost. Almost no one wants to maintain yet another incomplete or buggy shell script implementating of "start", "stop" and "status" commands. It is declarative way now - somehow define the command, arguments, user etc.. and let init system handle start/stop.

(Yes, there are still ancient systems like Slackware which use plain bash and have no plans to change. But even FreeBSD is pushing toward declarive: look at [0], does this look like a simple shell script which makes it cleat what's going on?)

That's why the people who advocate sysvinit get so little support. Try advocating for runit or daemontools or launchd or openrc or even SMF ( :) ), this will get you further.
I have been involved in 2 medium sized-ish (~300) software support projects for western-nation's land forces project that brought in SAFe with a fanfare. Lots of ($$) training, everybody gulping down the coolade etc etc. It started off OK, but as with most of these ideological methodologies, our projects' circumstances started to clash with the SAFe 'way'. Our customer was very fond of his existing rituals (meetings, committees, progress meetings etc), but we also folded in all the SAFe rituals too. It seemed we were in meetings too much of the time, and we did a poor job of convincing the customer to move wholesale to the SAFe way. In addition, the organizational structure and governance models never operated in the SAFe way, with the customer's insistence on being in our shorts on every decision hampered most of the 'delegate decisions as deep as possible' philosophy. At the end of the day, it steel feels like RUP re-invented for 'agile' .. never again.
> My comment would remain the same - there is extremist media on both sides.

But "extremist" and "extremism" aren't really neutral terms anymore. They're now also euphemisms coded to mean conservative/right-wing extremists.

Adobe or Pantone seems to canceled some kind of contract about the use of panotme color library. As Adobe creative cloud is a monthly paid service and not a bought software, all illustrator and other Adobe product software can not use the Pantone colour libraries anymore, which are really important as a professional. You have to buy a additional add-on from Pantone. The important part ist that pantome as a IP company only sells a library with name and color codes. This freezone palette seems to be a free copy of color values with different names.
Thank you so much for the support Accacin! I will do my best :)

Obviously...profit margin, return on equity, return on capital, return on assets,
return on investment, operating margin, gross margin, net margin...to be so ignorant that it is obvious.

The reason they got special treatment was because of the speed. That was what the priority list was for - "establishes that presence on the high priority lane did not confer any advantage at the decision-making stage of the process", what you have linked me is exactly what I was just told you. The award wasn't unlawful, the govt did not report on the detail of the contracts within the time period required...that was unlawful, but a function of the process (again, the contracts were awarded outside the usual process so all the information wasn't gathered...the NAO conducted a full audit of the contracts, iirc, before the contract details were reported in the public database).

This looks like a serious agency, so I'm stuck on the question of why the free tier is so important to them versus simply paying for Heroku. Surely doing a mass migration to a new PaaS just to claim a small per-project savings is a dubious proposition given the inevitably of a future rug-pull from wherever you migrate.

On the other hand, if you're an individual with a bunch of small projects and you want to host them economically, then standard VPS hosting is going to give you a lot more bang for your buck.
The report is wrong. It doesn't even make sense since there is clearly a dot above 200 Wh/kg in 2012. Meaning the graph is only claiming a 40-50% improvement in the last decade.

But regardless, the report is wrong because we most definitely had reached 250 Wh/kg by 2010. Panasonic mass produced a cell with those specs start in 2009: https://news.panasonic.com/global/press/en091218-2

Furthermore, there is no way of buying that 300 Wh/kg cell shown on the chart. No seems to have ever found one available as a commercial product. Meaning it is likely an experimental cell that never made it to production.

It's okay to have negative thoughts/feelings, as long as they don't consume you.

I guess I agree with the other comments here. The SDL is an abstraction that allows this emulator to be a bit portable. You could target this to some microcontroller with a framebuffer in hardware and then SDL disappears, you write directly to the framebuffer and read the inputs directly from some GPIO.
Yeah, 80 watts was just an arbitrary doubling of a rough estimate for average cruising on a bike.

That said, I think it's still somewhat reasonable to do the calculations below the level of a workout because not everyone is going to want to do a high intensity workout every time they want to cook something.
Don't forget the US has federal income tax (even if you only make $30k/yr); Washington doesn't have an income tax but has all sorts of sales tax, and then of course there's the matter of health insurance costs. Choose the wrong plan in the US and get into a car crash through no fault of your own, and suddenly you're declaring medical bankruptcy on minimum wage. How many days of PTO and sick leave is that minimum wage job giving? Is the workplace unionized? How much is rent for that matter? Did you get housing in, say, Sthlm by waiting in line or did you use one of the loopholes? How much does food cost, in the grocery store, eating out, and food delivery. How easy is it to recycle?

There's a lot more thought that should go into a consideration when choosing between two places to live. A simple dollars to SEK comparison doesn't begin to scratch the surface of it.

The hard-rock band Nothing More features a bit of Watts in the song "Ships In The Night," the second half of this music video: https://youtu.be/lR4yR_rjhEg

I recommend not watching the actual video; I really detest the dark imagery and lyrics of rock music and worry about how such imagery affects people, even in a subtle manner. (In Buddhism (perhaps primarily in Theravada) there is the notion of "guarding the sense doors," being careful about what one allows into their head. I enjoy the music in spite of that, but the imagery I think is problematic.)
