> Why not?

They don't explain this very well, I think.

Take the ordinary differential equation x'(t) = x^2(t), with initial condition x(0)=1. It has the solution 1/(1-t) which blows up to infinity when t tends to 1.

If you try to solve it numerically, using, let's say Euler's method, then this is how you go about it. You pick a step size, let's say 0.1. And iterate this way: you know x(0) = 1, and you also know its derivative x'(0) = x^2(0) = 1. You assume x follows a straight line, so you get x(0.1) = 1 + 0.1 = 1.1. At the next step you add more because x'(0.1) is now 1.21, so x(0.2) = 1.1 + 0.121 = 1.221.
You keep going like that.

The numbers will go bigger and bigger, but they will never be infinite. Of course, floating numbers with double precision overflow around 10^308, but if you use a multiple precision library you'll be able to keep going forever and ever.

If you make the time step smaller, the solution will be closer to the actual solution, but still, the algorithm will produce finite values at all times (until it hits overflow).

I agree with you - however one must remember that it was mostly Firefox (called Phoenix back then) who disrupted the web with tabbed browsing. It's that type of disruptive ideas that Mozilla must foster, not cheap transparent monetization techniques that its users are way too savvy to fall for. Not a VPN, not a bookmarking services or any of that crap it tries to peddle today.

I'm used to QEMU VMs being slow and annoying to work with due to them being full VMs, so I was quite surprised to see that this is really just as fast as Firecracker!
You are misreading it completely: it is a preliminary "Do you slice the truffle on it? How is the dish prepared?". There exist perfectly appropriate ways of "«insisting»" ("Thank you, good, I would like to have it sliced in presence").

You put the slices on top: they are not dishes with preliminary preparation (which imply mixing the ingredients). It is just normal to do it in presence - and definitely sensible.

> I didn't realize that people just stop making new friends after 30 (outside work).

I'm not sure where you got that impression. At 51 I'm still making new friends, mostly by seeking people out who share hobbies that I'm interested in. It gives me a base level of conversation to start out with. I recently started up a great relationship with the curator at a clock museum simply by going to his museum and talking clock with him. I go visit him at least once a month now, and he's begun to introduce me to other museum curators in the area. I also made a new set of friends recently by answering a Craigslist ad for a classic car in the area, then going to look at the car and talking to the guy for a couple hours. He invited me to a Sunday drive with a group of local classic car folks, and now I'm part of the group.

As I understand it, matching revs makes for smoother shifting and reduces wear on the clutch plate. It also prevents a weight transfer from shifting, which is why Nissan did it in software on the 370Z. If you're about to fling a car into a corner, it behooves you to not upset the balance by shifting carelessly. Again, AIUI. I don't track anything.

Double-clutching reduces the speed difference between the shafts that the synchros have to absorb, thereby reducing wear. It also lets you shift faster on track, or at all in a car with cranky synchros.

The '86 BRAT I used to own was very leisurely about the 3-2 downshift without double clutching, and downright lethargic from 2-1. If you wanted to be ready to pull away from a stop sign promptly, double clutching it into 1st as you rolled to a stop was necessary.

I can see shifting without the clutch adding wear to the synchros, but I've definitely had to do that too when the clutch went out on the '76 TR6 I used to own. Which admittedly had a very forgiving transmission, thank goodness.

Meanwhile, I haven't put enough miles in our '47 CJ-2A to master a smooth 2-1 downshift without grinding the gears, even with double clutching. That promises to take some practice. Practice that'll have to wait until the steering is sorted well enough to get it inspected, plated, and get it up to 3rd on a paved road. 2nd gets it moving quite quickly enough, thank you very much.

Rereading this before posting makes it sound like I've owned only terrible cars. I assert that they have character, and that's what matters. And only the BRAT was a daily driver. Apart from it, my daily drivers have all been pretty reliable and sensible cars.

> Synthetic garbage sold as a luxury gourmet item gives customers the idea that truffles have an intense gas-like aroma.

Huh, that’s my favorite part. It’s like the amazing smell of gasoline in an edible form.

I wonder if I’d even like real truffles?

I’ve got no hate for a flavor just for being synthetic, especially when getting the real flavor is destructive.
An Italian restaurant in a small German town nearby serves simple truffle pasta. I had it once and was disappointed - the truffles were shaved over the pasta, and it was relatively tasteless. I'd always assumed it was just because they were using cheap truffles --and from the infographic I'm sure they were-- but it's nice to know that at least they're serving the real thing and not resorting to fake flavourings.

Great point. It still makes me sad because I've unscientifically concluded that maple flavored corn syrup is unequivocally much worse for your health, on the basis that I want to justify still eating maple syrup and choose to believe that it's actually not the worst thing I could be eating, so it's ok to have it. This same unfounded belief has helped me curb my sweet tooth, as I no longer order pancakes or french toast, anytime I eat out, working at a fancier restaurant showed me that they all mostly use the exact same several gallon jugs of maple flavored syrup.

You are right, showing up to help or at least to anything they invite you to (even a simple lunch) is very important to continuity.

That's common on cars with 2-stroke engines that are lubricated by oil in the fuel (like a chainsaw). If you don't freewheel it, there's not enough oil coming through the fuel system to lubricate the engine properly.

Old Saabs with 2-stroke engines were like that too.
> and not outright lying

But what is constitutes outright lying? Some would assume that the word "truffles" on its own means the genuine article. Others would say they are telling the truth if they state that it is not the real thing in the small print. It wouldn't surprise me if someone tried to trademark Real Truffles for their substitute. All would claim that they are telling the truth, never mind deny they are not outright lying. Technically, they are correct.

Deception is not a good business practice, even in the slightest. It is the sign of someone who is solely interested in short term gain, rather than establishing a lasting institution.

The issue with bit-patterns are, at least, they're discrete. And so cannot, eg., represent pi.

This project is about real-valued functions which are taken to describe physical reality. Almost all of physical reality has no closed-form analytical description that "traditional mathematics" can operate on. So there arent any relevant symbolic rules of inference yet invented to resolve this problem.

If you want to program a computer to perform these rules on these functions, there arent any -- hence the millenium problem. And if there were some, we wouldnt bother using a computer.

What "using a computer" here means is finding a discrete approximation to this system, searching through that discrete input space until something which looks "infinity-like" occurs in the output space.

Now, a priori, this is never going to constitute a proof of anything. Since the discrete approximation needs, independently, to be analytically shown to be reliable. And, a priori, it's likely to be highly highly unreliable.

It would be trivial to show, for example, an iterated chaotic system is sensitive to an x=pi initial state at "decimal places" that no possible physical computer could provide a discrete approximation of; and hence inferences made via this approximation would be, routinely, false. (This is, for example, why most "climate" models only predict a global mean temperature, and very little else).

So this all comes down to the need to formalise a non-discrete system in discrete terms, and worse in terms that are physically possible implement using electrical switches.

In this case, every output of the system including special designation of bit patterns is, a priori, profoundly suspect.

There is the old trope that McDonalds is primarily a real estate business.

In the same line of thinking, you could say Ticketmaster is a "scape goat" business so the artists and venues can get max profit while still coming of as innocent angels.

It is now all Ticketmaster's fault. Venues and artists are innocent.

This would explain why you can't fix it: where would the scapegoating go? When you have larger demand than supply, then prices will always be high. And when venues + artists prefer full venues, then demand must be higher than supply.

For network connected things (which aren't designed to work offline), I like to implement a network watchdog poker...

Ie. every 30 seconds, contact an update server server and, if successful, poke the hardware watchdog.

That means every device in your network will either be rebooting, or correctly talking to your server with the latest version of your software. There are no other stuck/error states to consider.

I also implement reboot-with-no-screen-flicker, so that I can display a basic company logo so things look respectable while there is an outage and everything is bootlooping. Some brands of screen let you upload an image to display if there is no valid signal, which is an easy way to implement this.

Also worth doing a load test of your server to verify that it can withstand all your devices rebooting simultaneously and you won't suffer the thundering herd problem.

Did you get that as fabulously expensive datacenter gear, or were you able to squeeze it out of a consumer “smart outlet”? I’ve been looking for a thing like that some weeks ago (for reasons that are now moot), and the easiest option seemed to be to buy a handful of the vendor-app-locked whitelabel crap and see which can be reflashed with open source firmware.

I was not familiar with keyboard layouts including DEGREE SIGN handily, so I though there was at least a decent chance you had deliberately gone fancy. (I double-checked that it was ° and not º U+00BA MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR, which I would expect to see on some keyboards, and “Nº” is incidentally distinctly better than “N°”, since it’s the shape of an o rather than a circle.)

To the best of my knowledge, I have never come across “n°” before. “№” plenty, “#” plenty, “No. ” plenty, “no. ” a few times, but not “n°” with a lowercase n.

Looking through <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numero_sign#Usages>… hmm, French AZERTY? I see now that it does have ° readily accessible.

I think another aspect that made it harder for me to recognise immediately was the lack of a full stop; I’d probably have recognised “n° 1” a bit faster. (I’d write “№ 1” rather than “№1”, though personally I’d go fancy with NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE, but that’s ’cos I enjoy doing crazy things like that.)

Really zero, like non of the visitors was hitting the original servers? That would be impressive then. And you should consider to make money with delegating the traffic, not give away the traffic for free.
One of the reasons why it became like this is because there is no protocol that would allow a host to request blocking traffic from other host on upstream provider (so that malicious traffic is blocked close to originating network). If there was such protocol, site owners could protect from attacks themselves, but without it you have to use Cloudflare unless you are Google scale with channels wider than attacker's.
Exactly. I like artificial truffle flavor and use it sometimes in my cooking. No way would I pay for truffles. There's no gas-like aroma and I don't know what the author is going on about in that regard. I've had a meal with real truffle once and I must say that the artificial flavor does a pretty good job.

This seems very contradictory.

When you pay into a pension, what's the money held in? It will be either cash or some fund (actively mangaged, passive index fund, ETF, a bond fund etc).

When you save (point 2), what's the money held in? Cash? How much and for how long? If it isn't cash, then it will be invested in something, and if it cash, how is that less of a financial trap than investing in stocks?

You either spend 100% (or more) of what you earn, or you have an investment decision to make when it comes to any leftover money. Keeping your money as cash in the bank might not seem like an investment decision but it is and it comes with its own set of risks and rewards.

It would be helpful to have other measures such as the median and the spread in scores. In particular, if the high end of the natural spread gets cut off, the average can be skewed as there is more room below 6 than above it in a 10 point scale. The median, quartiles, and standard deviation would help to alleviate those concerns. As a quick example, compare a spread of 2: 6,4,8 average 6 versus a spread of 6: 6,0,10 average 5.3ish where that 10 ought to be a 12 given some underlying real variability, but it gets cutoff by the upper limit of 10.

As for the claim of neatness, I can attest at having graded math for over 20 years that neatness of work is very impactful, particularly for partial credit. I have often caught myself just before giving different scores for essentially the same argument based on presentation. The variability in presentation can be immense, even at the post-college level. And the work often, though certainly not always, conforms to sex stereotypes.

This applies most to handwritten work, but even typed up work shows this variability in its organization and depth.
I just got Windows 7 running on an M1 Macbook Pro with UTM today actually. It took a bit of configuring but I am getting pretty amazing performance considering it's having to do a full ISA emulation (not using Rosetta.. QEMU can use Rosetta to translate for Linux ELF's in Linux VM's but it doesn't seem like it can do so under an x86 Windows VM). I have one legacy Windows application that I need sometimes randomly when traveling and this is amazing that it runs as well as it does- it is a program using OpenGL and the performance is useable for basic tasks and I am just using a the default VGA card emulation, I haven't even setup any advanced GPU card emulation yet. I'm blown away.
