> The whole question and answer never made any sense to me. Seems like a lot of words to say nothing.

The breaking egg is meant to explain Loschmidt's paradox: the observation that ordinary processes are not just as likely to happen in the reverse direction than the forward one, unlike microscopic one (say, two colliding particles) even if classical Newtonian dynamics says they should be.

The resolution is pretty subtle as it has more to do with the practicality of our definitions that some fundamental truth. While it's true that classical systems have this time-reversal symmetry, as they evolve (more and more collision take place, molecules form and break, etc.) the information that is neatly packed into the initial positions and velocities get more and more spread out into subtle correlations between many different quantities that are hard to measure. If at some point you decide to ignore them you get irreversibility and the law of increasing entropy, which gives you the "arrow of time".

So, the laws are symmetrical but in a kind of pointless way for everyday life.
Now, what is time and how do we perceive it is a whole different deal and I'm not even trying to answer, but I think that entropy has not much to do with this.

> If everything goes backwards, isn't that the same as going forwards?

Essentially yes, with some caveats in particle physics.

> Some people think they find an answer, run with it, becomes a meme, and that's it. "The arrow of time goes forward because we see eggs break".

Well, fundamental questions rarely find an answer that satisfy everyone.

> He also had to go out of his way to make sure that “improve emacs ergonomics” is conflated with “change everything we’ve ever done to be VS Code”.

Not sure how you get that from:

> Lots of people come to Emacs familiar with VS Code, and they say, "Please make Emacs more like VS Code. Change everything that you did in the 1980s and 90s to be like that other thing." That wouldn't be feasible even if we wanted to. Our goal is not to be... not resembling VS Code. Any resemblance is coincidental.
The fact that you have to nag them will introduce bias by itself. Now 25% of your sample will be biased by the nag. It’s just a question of whether that’s worth it compared to not including them at all.

Anyway, this should be an open ended question.
It’s quite dangerous doing work on the rear wheel. It takes a lot of equipment to get the bike into a stand (ramps, trestles) or on its back. The rear wheel has the motor in it and is very heavy.

Rad designed the drop outs nicely and there’s only a cable tie and a power cable to undo, but I had still had to use a rope as a winch to hold and then lower the wheel out of the frame.

If you’ve done a lot of bike work you’ll know about the danger of crushing your finger between the rear axle fastener and the derailleur body. Now imagine that with a 10lb wheel falling out of the rear dropouts. It’s a pretty dangerous job if you don’t take your time and do things safely and it made me really appreciate how easy it is by comparison to work on a simple, light, mechanical pedal bike.

> The guy is walking hyperbole, I will never understand why so many people idolize him.

People admire those who put their morals before personal gain, which is exactly what RMS has done. With his intelligence and academic pedigree, he easily could have made gobs of money doing things he considered unethical, but instead he's devoted his life to protecting what he sees as an important aspect of human freedom. Even if you don't like him or agree with his views, the commitment he has to human human is admirable.
Awesome suggestions. Pretty incredble I must say!
> It is the polar opposite of the "look at me" red cars of the past.

Agree. The cars are now screaming "don't look at me!"

(I happen to like looking at cars however.)
Out of date does not necessarily mean wrong. If you want to challenge this result the burden is on you to cite some more recent work with different results.
I have never seen what you are describing called a microservice. Microservice always means some kind of independent application in its own runtime.
> My survey shows that 100% of people answer unsolicited phone calls.

Did you not count all the people that didn’t respond?

This is just a problem with inference, not the sampling. “100% of the _respondents_ answer unsolicited phone calls _at least some of the time_”.
Well, you can't create the infinite set of all natural numbers without the Axiom of Infinity. You can still reason about natural numbers themselves without the Axiom of Infinity (and if you are inclined to speak in such terms, the natural numbers will still comprise a "class", just a proper class rather than a set, when the Axiom of Infinity is negated).

ZF(C) with the Axiom of Infinity replaced by its negation is essentially equivalent to Peano Arithmetic, and you can do an awful lot of math just fine in Peano Arithmetic.

For that repo (not mine - mine is over at https://github.com/shagie/AoC_2022 ), day 5 is where they got to the point where the complexity of the description of the problem is greater than the complexity of the problem itself.
Quite frankly, you're assuming facts not in evidence. An awful lot of people will go full debauchery; not everyone, but enough to be a problem.
Encouraging that this is making it to the left-wing "The Nation" magazine. Some of commenters are discouraging, though, decrying loss of shoe repair stores in Sunnyvale for housing.
I've had to look this up because everyone also brings up this point without any proper details.

The exact numbers are not known. It's supposedly 45%-55% (at the beginning people were claiming 70%). It's limited to 2 factories. One in Odessa and one in Mariupol.

Both of them shut down somewhere at the start of this whole endeavour. The Mariupol one is already in the hands of Russians. It wasn't that close to Azovstal, so it's due to reopen. The one in Odessa will not reopen until the Russians either take it or Ukraine agrees to the deal judging by all the missile strikes. But for the short term future its out of commission.

The fundamental part here is this:

If this is really such a big deal as everyone claims it is, then people will inevitably have to find a compromise with Russia.

But I will repeat again one thing that people don't seem to grasp. Arounds 30% of the worlds commodities are exported by Russia, another ~30% are exported by the US. The difference between these two is that Russia exports its own commodities and the US exports not only its own, but also its "little colonies" like Trinidad and Tobago commodities. You cannot just turn off the tap on 30% of the worlds commodities.
So this is assuming that someone would give chemotherapy drugs to a flu patient. The realistic combinations would be much smaller.

In addition to pass by value and by reference, there's also a pass by descriptor mechanism. It's not widely supported, but it's just another way to glue different conventions for defining arrays in various languages, where it's not just a raw pointer to alloc'd memory.
And how does it recover incomplete tasks in case of sudden power outage? Microservices use persistent message brokers for that, which are not there in threads. Or are these monoliths all treated as pets with redundant power supply and network lines?

Even as it stands today, I’d pay US$50/month for it, knowing it’s going to improve over time.

I could go as high as US$100/month if I could be sure to get that back, but at the moment I see it as a great tool for learning and getting started on various topics.

It’s clearly not perfect, but I still find the help invaluable.
>Indeed, 3-wheeled all terrain vehicles were outlawed after there were a lot of injuries.

I believe you meant to say "after a few injuries and a moral panic originating among demographics that don't tend to expose themselves (moreso their kids) to risk of injury very much."

Nobody cared when farmers had three wheelers. But at some point as they moves in from the rural areas to the exurbs and into the outer suburbs and a line was crossed and they went the way of lawn darts.

I wouldn't want a three wheeler as transportation but as entertainment or a utility vehicle they're fine, not stupid proof but fine.

One reason come to mind: Conway's law. If you have a monolithic team a monolithic server is usually a pretty good solution to a problem. If you have multiple teams you're likely to wind up with an architecture that lets them work more independently, leading to separate release schedules.

... which perhaps just shifts the question to "why do you need multiple independent teams and not just use a monolithic development team?"

> Cheaper is a non-goal for me. Better is the goal. And nuclear delivers consistent stable baseload that supplements renewables while having a lower carbon footprint than both wind and solar.

Prove it. Show me an LCA for mass expansion of nuclear, including the new mines in lower concentration deposits that comes out at lower carbon than new renewables with hydrogen (or even gas) backup for the 5% needed to cover the gaps using current technology. Then after you exhaust known reserves in 10 years include whatever scifi scheme you have for getting more.

"Silence" is a problematic term. For me, that word encompasses: squeaky chairs, typing on a loud keyboard, moving objects around on my table, etc. In a perfect world, Whisper —like a human— can easily distinguish a human voice from the din of my office, and only try and transcribe my voice.

Does anyone have solutions for clearing out "silence" from an audio file that works off something a bit more accurate than just "<= decibel x"?

Oddly enough I just bought a used Blackview BV9800 Pro phone today purely for the FLIR camera in it. At $140 CAD it was much much cheaper than any of the off the shelf new FLIR options.
>with globally distributed teams of developers with diverse skill levels

The last place I worked with a monolith (~100 developers) put quite a bit of work into making sure everyone didn't step on everyone else's toes. This mostly propagated as optimizing CI and improving test quality (since a single flakey test could derail everyone's build)

As to why "microservices" versus a few "normal" sized services

I'm not sure why it's always "monolith" or "microservices"
From the company's perspective, the hoped for result is mostly recruiting oriented, a little bit is related to offering career advancement (public visibility of your work) to individuals that write or are featured in the blog.
IR cameras tend to be very low-res (or very expensive). Looks like they have some kind of computational photography pipeline processing, to enhance the IR image.

You can get FLIR modules for most smartphones (Android and iOS). Not sure I'd buy a phone, just for the camera.
I loved the 70's for car colors. Actually, a lot of consumer products were more colorful then. To me that colorful era reflected an optimism, an enjoyment and an embrace of life.

For some reason over the decades that followed it seems we all started preparing for a funeral of some kind.

I recently started using Dart with Flutter on a hobby project, just because I wanted my app to be truly cross platform.

So far (been working on it for 5 months), I find the learning curve to be very lean and the syntax is not bad at all.

I like Dart, a lot, but one thing I have to agree on is that Dart is nothing without Flutter, sadly.
I used the S62 as a daily driver for a couple of years and it was fairly decent. The convenience of having a thermal camera in your pocket at all times was remarkable, and it's one of those things you kind of miss when it's gone (my daily use for it was checking if the coffee was cool enough to drink--yes, I know my tasting organs provide much of the same functionality...) However, the resolution of the thermal camera wasn't particularly great, and the 9 fps refresh rate was also a bit limiting. Still, for checking for drafts, occasional electronics repairs and a general party trick it was great.

Eventually I got a new phone from work, which I grudgingly accepted since I wanted Android 12 and a better visible-light camera, but I missed the thermal cam sufficiently that I got an Infiray P2 off Ali as a plug-in substitute. The resolution and refresh rate are a lot better than the Cat, but having to carry an extra dongle (and plugging it in, starting the app, restarting the app when it crashes...) sometimes makes me consider going back. If/when Cat makes a successor, I'd be very tempted to get it.

> you can't use anything infinite, including natural numbers.

This is false, you don't need the axiom of infinity to prove theorems about all natural numbers.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2850064/does-counta...

Particularly:

> Notice here, we are just treating the natural numbers as a class, not necessarily a set. In fact we can prove from ZF minus infinity that any of the (translations of the) axioms of PA, including all the induction axioms, hold in this class.

Harley Copp, a former Ford engineer and the executive in charge of the crash testing program, "testified that the highest level of Ford's management made the decision to go forward with the production of the Pinto, knowing that the gas tank was vulnerable to puncture and rupture at low rear impact speeds creating a significant risk of death or injury from fire and knowing that 'fixes' were feasible at nominal cost."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimshaw_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

All this convinced jurors that Ford had known the design was dangerous and retained it anyway in order to save money. "Ford knew people would be killed," declares juror David Blodgett, who works for Western Electric Co. and who is the only member of the panel who drives a Pinto.

also, they offered phones with flir cameras before, so nothing new on this front either.
GPUs have no concept of animation. A frame rendered by a GPU has a fixed state, usually computed on the CPU. Until recently, this was usually done on the main thread, because graphics APIs had poor support for being used from multiple threads. I have no idea what AirBNB was doing to fail 60Hz on rather simple scenes with a single thread, but you can rest assured that it is possible without multiple threads or even processes.
> Tbh I thought David Lynchs Dune captured the oddity of the universe

What I liked about Lynch's version is hold old everything felt. The Empire was around for a long time and so had become mostly ossified and decadent (which the Golden Path was/is meant to rectify), and you could tell that by the clothes people wore and many of the sets (e.g., the room where the Navigator and Emperor meet).

The Sci-Fi miniseries hewed closer to the story, but everything felt too 'shiny' (no doubt due to budget constraints).

Villeneuve wasn't as old looking as Lynch, but not as shiny as Sci-fi, but somewhere in the middle. The costumes were also pretty good.

I also appreciated Zimmer's 'alien sounding' musical score, and the way it blended in with the sound design many times (the teams ended up working together a lot instead of being strictly siloed like often happens).
The woman calling the guy her fiance is pretty sad and a total failure on her parents' behalf.

I'd argue recording anything at all, including whether I did it, breaks the 'completely anonymous' contract.

Then we're left with...mostly anonymous. But at that point it's a black box. It could be done how you describe. Or it could be attaching my name to the survey and emailing the CEO directly. I'd never know the difference.
To release the wait-for-secrets Action, I run the workflow using a PAT sent in via the browser. In that sense, it is similar to what you mentioned. I create the PAT during the release process and delete it after the release is done.

It certainly is, but once again, the question does not specify enough information to choose an answer. Maybe A is correct, if you have a backup/secondary email to try. Maybe, like so many of us who work with email notifications, they can see the email wasn't opened. Or it bounced. Or it was opened and flagged as spam.

Is that all the information you have? You emailed 120 of them and received 90 clickthroughs? Well sir, that is an astounding clickthrough rate! Perhaps that exceeds every expectation of responses and is itself actionable. Perhaps the best plan of action for the University is to discover their magic clickthrough sauce and monetize it.

What is the best plan of action? Impossible to answer when they haven't specified a goal.

>TL;DR: Sure, the Pinto was unsafe, but that was not exactly unusual for small cars in the 70s.

Probably not the lesson you want to be teaching.

Apple obviously uses some conversation rate internally when creating and updating these pre-defined tables. They could use those same numbers, with the same update frequency, with an arbitrary input price.
I wonder what the performance will be with such a small sensor and aperture. Usually FLIR scopes have massive apertures to collect as much light as possible. Medium wave infrared signals are extremely weak compared to visual light, and so sensors either have to be cryogenically cooled to allow for large gain with little noise or a large aperture to collect enough light. Or better yet, both.
Linus used it in his last video.
Yes. The workflow blocks and prints a URL every 10 seconds. The developer can click on the link and enter secrets in the browser. The workflow then continues, and secrets can be used in future steps.
