Ah, so audio CDs were engineered to provide best effort data correction instead of dead-sure data correction to serve the audio market instead of the data market.

That just goes to show the lack of design foresight. They were still thinking in terms of grooves carved in plastic or a waveform on tape.

This is the biggest argument for me why EVs are the superior technology.

Thinking further with renewable energies, heat pumps and more, soon we'd only need infrastructure for electricity and internet.
There are many philosophers who disagree with Kant's categorical imperative though – even among those who agree that ethics is objective (in some sense). The categorical imperative gives morality a deontological flavour, to which many will object–such as consequentialists. And there are others who don't object to the deontological flavour per se, but who think there are better foundations for such a morality (e.g. natural law theorists).

I agree with your position that ethics is objective, but I don't think Kant's categorical imperative is a very good argument for its objectivity – a person can coherently accept ethics/morality as being objective, yet doubt or deny the categorical imperative. I think "ethics is objective" is one of those things where very many people can agree on a conclusion, yet disagree massively on what is the correct reasoning to reach that conclusion.
The pictures are just similar.

BWV 999 was my first, it's such a pleasure, then 846 (wtc 1), and this year's project was 1007 and have it down as well, but after hearing Mearns' version with a whole bunch of the implied counterpoint filled in, it's almost embarrassing to play the original now. I'm thinking my next project is his bwv 847, and I have been warming up to it by slightly rearranging bwv 846 by adding an alberti bass note via a sort of travis picking technique, akin to what Mearns did with his bwv 1007 arrangement. Skill wise, the Chaconne is probably a decade away for me right now, but this winter I may get his wtc c minor prelude down, then go back to foundations with instruction again so I can tackle more serious pieces. To play CG well takes everything, and its been a long time since I gave that to something. Glad to see someone else take it up a bit later as well.

China is still trying to aggressively maintain a zero covid policy
Singapore just put in a new MRT line (well, in phases, some haven't opened yet) - 43km, 32 stations, all underground for $25B or ~$0.8B per station.

San Francisco put the Chinatown line in - 3km, 4 stations, 3 underground for $2B or $0.7B per station (ignoring the above ground one).

Clearly Singapore can do it quicker because there is one level of government. And they import cheap labor to actually build the lines.

So other than the delays, the cost for SF doesn't seem ridiculous.
To day I learned it's called numeronyms they seems to be very infrequent out side of slang/tech, these are all words I think you should just know around here: I18n A11y l10n Y2K 420 a16z

If you are into making software for something more than just the naive "one market" your first introduction would be internationalization which should be the most widespread. When you make things for government in the EU/US you will most probably have laws demanding accessibility features. The problem isn't the numeronym but that so few people care about accessibility.

You're going to lose out on some things, especially time. Time and mental energy. It's easy, in the middle of the very real losses, to look at the losses and not see the gains. You can have some really cool relationships and a lot of fun, but you'll miss it if you focus on what you're losing. You'll lose out, and so will your kids. Don't do that. It's one of my biggest regrets. I was too focused on what I wanted to do and think, and trying to find time to do it in (and brain cells to do it with), that I kind of missed my kids.

And, um, don't assume that it will be tomorrow, even if they're inducing. That can take more than a day sometimes.

Yeah, you’re right. You lose columnar alignment but beginning indentation still aligns and, in Input Sans, I believe the numbers are tabular. David Jonathan Ross makes this argument in the explainer for Input:

> Sometimes programmers rely on the monospaced grid to create a second column of values or comments on the right side of the page. It’s true, these secondary columns won’t align in a proportionally spaced font. But why are we making these columns in the first place? Even in a monospaced font they can be finnicky and hard to maintain.

> In virtually every other form of typography, the responsibility of alignment is given to the typesetting application, not the font. If source code editors can highlight syntax, they could also interpret tabs and syntax to create true, adjustable columns of text.

https://input.djr.com/info/
That's generally how the flow chart works in the rip process, if you feel reasonably confident that you've correctly identified your release (specifically the correct pressing) you can burst rip the disc and then compare the ripped tracks to other rips from the same pressing (see also AccurateRip). If you got the same hash as other people ripping the same pressing then you're done.

If your pressing doesn't have a good sample size of hashes to compare to then you use a more secure ripping method that generally makes use of the accurate stream feature (most drives manufactured in the last decade or so have it) it's a slower but more repeatable process of reading a red book CD intended to suppress jitter and alignment errors. If you get through an accurate stream rip and you encounter no read/C2 errors you're probably ok, but if you really have no/few samples to compare against you may be paranoid and rerip the disk a few times to make sure you get repeatable results or even rip the disk with another drive all together.
This size=power issue is in my opinion an often-underestimated flaw of organization relying on middle-management.
Apple already makes the hardware closer to home for some parts while others come from everywhere other than China. The iPhone isn’t made in China. It’s assembled in China.
> You might be thinking, “Okay, but now characters won’t line up neatly.” Thats true, but the upside of this sizing means you still retain the typewriter aesthetic with a bit more legibility. Notice the difference?

Does it? It feels like the "typewriter aesthetic" is pretty much gone. The comically wide thin characters (i, r, l, etc), and comically small wide chars (m, w) are the clearest difference of such a font; without that it looks like a normal proportional font (which it basically is).
To be fair I've mostly used concepts in Nim, not C++ x0 concepts. However, your comparisons of C++ concepts to Rust traits seems to be lacking a lot of details or is plain inaccurate. It also misses the flexibility of C++ concepts.

> C++ 0x Concepts was similar to Rust's Trait system in many ways. Particularly notable features of C++ 0x Concepts you might recognise in Rust's traits:

Perhaps at the loosest level of comparison around only defining limitations on possible types. However, C++ x0 concepts enable much more powerful combinations of logic to specify if a template fulfills a concept. In Nim the concept can be any arbitrary boolean statement.

This blog has some good examples of C++ concepts: https://www.sandordargo.com/blog/2021/03/10/write-your-own-c...

It's trivial to specify that a C++ concept can be either a float or an integer:

template <typename Base, typename Exponent>
concept HasPower = (std::integral<Exponent> || std::floating_point<Exponent>) && requires (Base base, Exponent exponent) {
base.power(exponent);
};

That's not possible AFAICT with Rust's traits.

> 1. Third parties can implement a C++ 0x Concept for some type which was not originally conceived with this Concept in mind, they just write the implementation and it works.

That's true for C++ concepts, but not entirely true for Rust traits. You can only implement a Rust trait if you own the type or own the trait. If you use two third party libraries, you cannot implement a trait from one for a type from the other. At best you can wrap the type in a new struct, and reimplement the parent's traits.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25413201/how-do-i-implem...

> 2. C++ 0x Concepts must be explicitly implemented they're not just a syntactic requirement that could be satisfied by happenstance in a type which is not in fact suitable.

That doesn't appear to match with C++ resources like: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/constraints

Everything in Rust traits requires them to be encoded into existing traits. C++ concepts let you define rules for arbitrary combinations of types. So you can create functions that take two independent types and define a constraint on those types.
Couldn't we just solve this by eliminating draconian ballot access provisions? If all 330 million Americans want to run for president I don't think it's a serious logistical issue anymore. Just assign every candidate a registration number and have them put it on all their campaigns ads
Anecdotal, but my M1 Max seems to drain battery very slowly with my daily development with all kinds of things running. Firefox, Brave, Slack, VSCode, Mail, docker containers, etc. It's pretty amazing how long they last.

The other day I even accidentally left Factorio running because I got distracted getting my kid ready for school, and I hadn't noticed until a few hours later in a meeting when I heard the technology research sound. It was not plugged in the entire time, and I still had at least half the battery life.

I've always done this because I don't like pasta boiling over into my electric elements. The emssivity of stainless steel and the enormous heat capacity of even the small amount of water I use and the fact that water cannot exceed boiling temperature means spegetti is done in 10 minutes even with no power at all after boiling has been achieved. Do not waste precious oil in the water. Just stir for a minute to prevent sticking.

Yes, absolutely. EV's have a lot of limitations. The batteries degrade in capacity and are toxic. They're quite heavy and can explode (things have improved a lot).

The chemicals used in the batteries are toxic. Countries that are still dependant on fossil fuel for electricity, aren't going to reap much environmental benefits out of these EVs that need to be charged from the grid. And last but the most obvious one is the time it takes to charge batteries.
> "...Musk reiterated his stance that the platform should allow all legal speech..."[1]

We all knew Musk wouldn't actually allow all legal speech. He censors Tesla owners trying to show people how "FSD" breaks in alarming ways. He also knows Twitter can't have rampant racism.

But now we have to wonder where his arbitrary line really is, since he has no discernible principles.

As long as the media keeps treating Twitter like the most important discussion platform, we should be worried about where exactly Musk will draw the line.

For sure. The idea with the 'indigenous' approach would be that it does actually address the problem meaningfully rather than just being a lousy alternative.

India has historically been pluralistic and a one-size-fits-all approach would actually be an unwelcome deviation. With regards to women, for example, even one of Manu's commentators (Medhatithi iirc) states that women used to follow one of two lifestyles: (1) being the traditional housewife, patriarchy & all or (2) having a career (academic) and being independent, implying that those 2 options were not available at the time the commentator lived. Indians today do have the freedom to look back at this past and rework & innovate -- rather than simply saying the West is the best.
Disolving hydrogen in ammonia has been discussed, in Australian media anyway, as a way that Australia could 'export it's sunlight' to the world.

I also believe it's best to have at least a couple of option branches as there are a very wide number of use-cases, to all of which a single option is unlikely able to cater.

Not at all, you can delve into a huge pool of educational content rife with opportunities for self-edifying tangents. You could do the same on Audible. Or at a book store (or on library genesis). I picked up Taleb, heard about Mandelbrot, learned about fractals (a complement to my hobby, 3D), all because I wanted to trade some puts because I saw an opportunity in 2020 while working as a janitor - not a fucking thing to do with with some slovenly professor whose class I'm forced to occupy disinterestedly while spending large sums to listen to him parrot the chapter contents read from a slide for the third time of the day.

We haven't been trapped in a world where the only access to the arcane and the esoteric is held in hand copied, gilded manuscripts, we've even largely transcended the need for libraries.

"Higher education" is, at best, internally conflicted with two very different motives. On one hand it is the arbiter of the gates of the middle class. On the other it operates under the pretense of being the authority of intellect. Frankly my experience with the latter half is a joke, a mixed bag of disinterested people that are just there for the class, some that are disinterested in education in general, some egregiously incompetent at the coursework, and the very few (often none) who are passionate about it. This isn't uniquely on the side of the students, but that of the pedagogues as well. And it is contagious. If anything I'd be willing to bet that it does just enough trauma to people that they put a terminal end to their curiosities.

Anyways, I don't agree, I think the old approach is wrong, I expect it's harmful from the many anecdotes I have. I think it's one of the many coats of lacquer varnishing the piles of shit that these institutions represent to ensure their continuity, and justify their ability to arbitrate so much of the world around us.

With an induction cooktop the pot is the heating element.
What efficiency (in terms of energy transfer to the intended material vs to the environment) is observed with gas? IIRC, gas achieves maybe 35-50% efficiency (depending on the surface area and material of the pan) compared with ~80% for electric resistance heating and >90% for induction.

Adam Ragusea did a water boiling comparison and the gas stove was dumping so much energy into the air around the pot that his thermometer melted [0]. I just don't see how any pan geometry could extract much of the energy from the quickly rising hot gas produced by combustion.

Love the designs - but how is this better than a modern electric pedal assist or throttle controlled electric ebike?

They made a lot of sense during the oil crisis but why would anyone really bother getting licensed, paying for registration and maintaining insurance when you can get an electric bike and get a very similar experience without all that hassle?

I'm not trying to be dismissive mind you, but genuinely curious if this potential market will be big enough to address it.
It's like this: A) Here is an unbaked cake. B) Here is a half-baked cake. But, the argument they are making is B) is better than C) Fully baked cake. No fully baked cake is presented for evaluation.

You can't use Nitti Grotesk, a cookie batter, to make an argument here either for a fair comparison. It's an entirely different thing.

In order to do a proper comparison, they should finish the kerning job and present their arguments fairly and squarly.

Audio CDs also have significantly weaker error correction than CD-ROM.
I had the exact same thing with an older job. About 15 years ago I got hired to finish a PHP project that the original developer had basically run off screaming from, and oh boy was it a super amateurish mess. No use of the OOP system, and very little in the way of "structured" coding, it just ran from the top of the page to the bottom. (I call this style "long drop programming", your code starts from the top, rapidly proceeds down, and that the bottom is a dead programmer in a noose. Oh and lots and lots of just bad SQL practice. SQL injections, joining tables in memory instead of the DB etc.

So I went through the main pages and rewrote much of the logic as single SQL queries, admittedly rather complex ones, reorganized the code and broke it out into functional modules. The resulting code was about 1/3 of the size of the original.

About a month into the task, I got dragged into management where a very confused project manager asked me why my LOC was negative. I told them "Because I actually know what I am doing". The guy seemed unconvinced until I showed them the original code and mine, and the benchmarks of the two. So I ended up the only guy in a team of 30 coders excempt from their idiotic LOC rules.

And then a month later the 2007 stock market crash happened and that company almost immediately curled its toes and died. Possibly for the best.
“Asymmetric” has taken on a fuzzy definition in the military, kind of like “agile” or “disruptive” in more familiar domains. He states that submarines are the one true asymmetric advantage they have, but the nature of asymmetry implies that one need not match force in kind. Submarines exploit a characteristic weakness of surface ships and nuclear first-strike, but they have their own characteristic weakness, so the asymmetric label is apt, but direct comparison of force-in-kind is irrelevant.

As a different way to think about it, consider that the history of warfare is entirely dominated by strategic failures leading to symmetric attrition warfare. Historians do not classify asymmetric success as war, unless it comes at the culmination of symmetric attrition. We have an industry and a profession based on the study and execution of war, which, I suggest to you, is tautologically strategic failure. The Chinese have traditionally seen the bigger picture in their strategy of “unrestricted warfare”, and they seem to recognize that their struggle is not against a specific military power or system, but perhaps the emergent unstoppable power inherent in the lack of a system or strategy. It certainly was this way for us in our recent engagements, as it will be for the aggressors of today. And yet, I don’t see the adaptation. We grow the war in scope but lose the objective. There is too much in the Chinese and US system that secures its own existence through a war of attrition against itself. All great powers end up competing in the same race.
That article is strange. I was of the belief that most western "monospace" fonts were in fact "duospaced" under their definition. This distinction isn't apparent for normal writing, but such fonts usually make most emoji two chars wide. This is true at the very least for Adobe's "source code pro", which I typically use. It mentions the OP font as the only western example of such a font, but iA writer doesn't use integer multiples of the base width (necessary to qualify under their definition, as well as under common sense) for M and W.
