Like you, I could not care less about the page turning animation. As long as I see the next page it's fine with me.

The thing that prompts me to comment is that this feels like yet another place where the "artfulness" of software is getting optimized out of things. Whatever any of us thinks of the animation, it was clearly the result of clever work by the team putting out the app. The two ways of turning the page give a different feel and have a different character.

I think how apps feel - and the engineering behind making them feel a certain way - often does not get its due. I think we, as an industry, should do more to celebrate people doing things "the hard way" because it's nice - and not dismiss it as "absurd."
Is it possible to even create such a script for iOS applications?
With all due respect, basically everything. What you describe sounds like Haskell laziness, maybe that's what you were thinking of? Or the memory model of e.g. Ocaml and Lisp, but those are then optimized at compile-time.

Rust enforces many guarantees w.r.t. memory access & sharing at compile time, but at codegen time, it's basically as vanilla and ‶boring″ as C++.
What do you mean by efficiency of land usage?

The only thing I could think of is surface area and, compared to "a large number of reasonably sized ones", this obviously would be more efficient.

I see them as skyscrappers in landscape mode.
That seems reasonably accurate on the high end for me. For _sustained_ use, iPhones generally stop working well around 100-105F.

I suspect I would be disappointed by the performance of an iPhone that could operate in >125F temperatures (temperatures which I have worked in outdoors for several years)
What does SRS mean in this context?
I also use Vue. It's got good docs, a decent amount of plugins, etc. But the main thing is that it doesn't make me use Jsx for HTML. Jsx in my opinion just creates ugly view files which are massively more complex and harder to read than they really should be.
It will only hit those nations in the West that succumb to it.

Eurasia is doing fine with stable and reliable power, continuing to both increase fossil fuel usage and build out nuclear power at the same time. Africa is ramping up. Latin America is the wild card. Most of the world is going to keep on using fossil fuels, looking at what happened to Europe as an object lesson of becoming so rich that you forget what is foundational, indulge in religious fantasies -- and commit economic suicide.

In this sense the energy sanctions, while destroying the British and German economies, are a blessing to the rest of the world, because it provides a very clear picture of what happens when you go down this road. This is why China, India, and Japan are rushing to secure long term oil and gas contracts, and many nations in Africa and Asia are joining them in prioritizing secure fossil fuel providers even as they seek to build out more nuclear in order to reduce dependence on foreign inputs. See https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/ieo/ for detailed projections out to 2050 of different regions.

Britain and Germany are the main object lessons in this regard, but it's certainly not "the world".
No doubt...

No, because if you bothered to read what he said, it would cost that much to INSTALL it... and THEN pay more in a lifetime of very high bills.
I’m normally sentimental about things, but I couldn’t care less about this one. They’ve updated other features in the app (after about ten years…) and this kitschy little bastard had to go. It was cool when I first saw it on my iPhone 4…
You need to find the data yourself. There is no public source that makes this comparison.

I have lived in Edinburgh for two decades btw. Most people who work here have absolutely no idea how many homeless people live there (it has been in the thousands for years) because almost none of these people live on the street or have substance abuse problems (and Edinburgh has very effective segregation so the wealthy don't have to see the poor or their problems). They are just normal people who have been evicted for whatever reason, and have nowhere to live because the city doesn't have enough housing. So they get put into hotels or B&Bs (but, because of the refugee situation, these have largely been exhausted now too...I remember a few years ago when they were trying to house Syrians, the council said...literally no room, we are overloaded beyond belief...since then refugees worth about 2-4% of the population came...the council has been telling poor people they have to leave now, go to England, go to the Highlands, they don't care, just leave...people who have been paying rates for decades).

Last year (i.e. before the latest crisis got very severe) there were 20 thousand people on the council's waiting list...this is in a city of 400k people (and, obviously, significantly less households).

The numbers are absolutely staggering and, again, people who live in Edinburgh have no idea because most people who work there have no contact whatsoever with "locals". They vote for brownfield-only building, they love the Cockburn Association intervening on every planning decision, they vote for the green belt, etc.

This is the development we want to see. Would be great if this would be the main mission for Google for the next 5 years. To enable E2E for most private data (Mail, Drive, Notes) and stop location tracking.

Except with a stack of cards (or pages) the bottom page would not be moving. The visual is more reminiscent of some sort of assembly / processing line.

Just run your own Mastodon instance or hop onto new one, that's not blocked. They cannot block them all. That's the best feature of Fediverse.
Yeah. Essentially no power and essentially no space was spent on that. It's barely more computationally complicated than sliding the page.

There are lots of things to dislike about feature and size bloat, but this is among the worst possible examples.
Account suspended...
Yes, SQL isn't good for data analysis. I recently had to help one of our data analysts port some code from Impala to Hive, and the query they gave me was terrifying: a dozen CTEs strung together in a query that was literally hundreds of lines long.

However, I think we already have an answer to that complexity, and it's not Malloy, but data frames. With data frames you can split your query into logical steps, each of which can be debugged and examined without having to rewrite the query like you have to with CTEs.
GP missing a /s.
Guessing is actually easy. For the kinds of files that end up as redacted pdfs (legal, government, etc), there's probably 5-8 font options that make up 98% of documents. Sizes and weights are immediately recognizable to the slightly trained eye. I'm pretty sure I could guess all 3 attributes at a glance.

Can fascism produce colonialism tomorrow? I mean just look at the defense of Ukraine. The west has had a whole year and not even been able to raise one Brigade worth of troops.

Hypothetically if Ukraine collapses anything is possible.
I really wish hardware startups would at least hire people early on who have experience with actual manufacturing. Stuff like this really shouldn't happen and really shouldn't be a surprise, either. Temperature considerations are a standard part of the design criteria and testing in any mechanical device, and standard root cause analysis (did they even do FMEA?) would have forced them to find the problem the first time, not the second. When you're still in the early prototype phase, fine, but this is a 25? person team selling a product with a subscription and everything.

Edit: just realized their stated fix is to remove two resistors. Did they actually test the full effects of that change? Seems like there's a decent chance of a third head-scratcher a few months from now...
If you're going to properly sit down with it somewhere it works fine. But you're going to want external keyboard/mouse, and most likely a bigger display. You'll need a hub/dock if you want to plug in more than one USB-C device.

Honestly a laptop makes a lot more sense in general for that still. You just pull it out and everything you need is there. But if the versatility of the device is appealing to you then it might make more sense. I have used it for traditional computing with a keyboard/mouse and portable monitor, but it is quite cumbersome to do so. But I value it much more and primarily as a portable games system. As an aside, the trackpads are great and for me the thing that sets it apart from any of the similar systems, but in desktop mode they aren't nearly as good or useful by comparison. Though it might be possible to change the way they work in desktop mode but the basic way it hooks input by default makes them pretty dumb trackpads.
Sounds like the Kindle Keyboard. I bought an extra one just because the Kindles all went downhill after that one.
Exactly, but the fuel cycle is actually more subtle than that:

When compressing the D+He3 plasma, inevitabily some D will also fuse together.

And since one in two D+D reaction yields He3+n, if you fine tune the proportion D/He3, the D+He3 reaction will in total (ie taking into account the D+D side reaction) produce more He3 than it consumes.

But D+D also yields T+p, and T eventually decays into He3 (T half life is 12.5 years)

The total fuel cycle has 3 fusion reactions:

D+He3 -> He4 + p (50%)

D+D -> He3 + n (25%)

D+D -> p + T (25%) (T=He3, after decay)

As you can see the only input is deuterium.

The thing is that you want to avoid D+D -> He3 + n because 1. It produces less energy 2. It produces neutrons that damages your machine.

Hence the proposal of splitting the fuel cycle in two reactors, one doing the clean and powerful D+He3 and the other doing the dirty D+D.

So one reactor will consume He3 and the other will produce He3 in excess.
I agree. I’ve made a transition to Apple in my phone and tablet but as much as the M-series is tempting I’ve just built a new PC for GNOME/Fedora exclusively. It’s truly my favorite UI for a computer.

what are the % chances something good happens to one of those exchanges and crypto value/demand goes up?

what are the % chances the inverse/opposite happens and crypto goes even lower?
And I'm wondering if the US goverment which is a bit of a control freak, would allow there not to be any W3C under their control? Especially, if the major players in the tech world are US entities. I could see this just breaking up and ending the W3C more than the W3C having leverage.

I once read a very cynical take that the Nazis had not done anything particularly novel; their big mistake lay in doing that sort of thing to melanin-deprived people.

(that said, I don't think the brits went in for obviously direct genocides; they seem to have been more the sort who would choose indirectly genocidal policies, eg encouraging opiate addiction or buying up all the potatoes?)
Companies don't want to invest in a unstable and corrupt country. Even so, the rapid rise in HDI of the DRC aligns with the growth of their exports.

You seem to be implying that colonization is synonymous with globalization, but let me dispel this notion. The problematic part of colonization were the protectionist aspects of it. The Congolese were unable to compete for the same administrative positions of that the Belgians enjoyed.

Now you tell me how unions in the US are supposed to help the DRC.

> If they’ve “debunked” the 27 year figure, then what is the correct average lifespan of fiat currencies?

The question is kind of ill-formed in the first place. Take the current US dollar. How long has it been around? Per Wikipedia, it was established by Congress in 1792, which gives it a sedate 230 years of existence. But given that the original analysis is by a gold bug, I suspect the intent is to limit it only to the 51 years that have passed since the end of the gold standard in 1971.

If the goal of the question is to work out how long a fiat currency not backed by gold will last before it's hyperinflated into nothingness, then it stands to reason that the metric which best reaches that conclusion would be in fact the earlier date: the Nixon Shock wasn't an episode of hyperinflation (inflation reached a measly 10-20% annualized). Events like the creation of the euro are even more starkly not relevant to answering that question.

There's also severe methodological issues with completely omitting currencies that haven't failed yet, which ought to be patently obvious. There's another severe bias in terms of the inclusion of currencies on the list, since there's going to be several currencies for which is there is likely insufficient data to establish the lifespan correctly, because records tend not to preserve very well after several centuries.

To attempt to answer your question, I don't have any hard data in front of me. But I would be shocked if the mean lifespan of a currency were substantially less than a century--there are several currencies that lasted several centuries during the Medieval period, such as the ducat lasting ~730 years.
Crypto is not falling, just the worthless artificial exchange rates
So the 100M figure comes from an excess deaths analysis. Let’s assume it’s accurate. It’s an indirect indicator. What was the direct mechanism that caused all those deaths?

> not sure of an easy way to deal with the PDF part of it.

If you aren't doing this so often that you need automation, you could sidestep that issue by just taking screenshots at 400% zoom or so and accurately measure how many pixels each letter (a-z) takes, as well as how many pixels a space is (the censored part might be into the spacing on each side of the word), and measure how many pixels the gap is between the words surrounding the censored part, then

for word in wordlist do
# Start by accounting for the spaces
wordsize = charwidths[' '] * 2
for char in word do
wordsize += charwidths[char]
done
if wordsize == gap_size then
print("Possible word: " + word)
endif
done

Probably want to do the gap_size +/- 1 or so, but that's how I'd approach this for a given document. A starting point for a wordlist on many linux systems could be `/usr/share/dict/words`.
... and shortly after the deal was signed (and the projected profit added to the books), the contract was swapped out / "sold" to a subsidiary mostly owned by Enron, and selling this propped up the books even more.

The associated debt was in the subsidiary, and thus didn't show up on the balance sheet.
someone writing and wishing to hide their identity may very well be masking their writing style. The bad grammar here might be the social media equivalent of using letters cut from magazines.
The easiest way to think about this, as Tim mentions in his article, is that in Common Lisp, you can write nil as '(), so if foo is defined as the list (d e f), (append nil foo) is equivalent to (append '() '(d e f)) which more obviously evaluates to (d e f), just as (append '(a b c) '(d e f)) evaluates to (a b c d e f). It's better to think of Lisp append's first argument being appended onto its second: (append '(a b) '(c d)) => (cons 'a (append '(b) '(c d))) => (cons 'a (cons 'b (append '() '(c d)))) => (cons 'a (cons 'b '(c d))) => (cons 'a '(b c d)), which evaluates to (a b c d). The lists '(a b) and '(c d) are still unaltered at the end of the computation, and a new list '(a b c d) is returned by the call to append.
On a side note, I'd be afraid to expose a GPT-3 based product on hacker news, since the hug of death might be an explosive billing from OpenAI.
The tech industry is flooded with money, but is enormously inefficient. How many projects are you familiar with that got trashed, often after key people moved on?
This isn't a new phenomenon, and, as the author mentions, is not peculiar to the UK. When I was a 13-year-old in 1992 an eccentric science teacher would remind my class nearly every week that ours was the first American generation that was expected to enjoy a worse standard of living than our parents had. (Going back even farther you could point to popular expressions like the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen;" people have been talking like this for a long time.)

I remember reading for the first time about the loss of the future as a frame of reference in this article, which I thought was very interesting but it now unfortunately seems to be only available behind a paywall: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/110330889900700102 .

Anyway, I think this sort of thing happens independently of the specific vagaries of politics and economics in any country: change is taking place quickly, on a grand scale, in societies where ordinary people are enjoined to think about the course of events over which they, individually, have little control.
Rather them work on natural reading of the books with Text To Speech. People with disabilities such as Dyslexia, ADHD, partial or total Blindness have to hobble on with the terrible TTS available. You have to select the text to get it to read, which means you will have to do that each page. A simple play & stop button for "read aloud" would solve this. They love to think about use cases to make things easier for their users, but have they hired disabled people to give comment? This has been a glaring issue to me, and I've told Apple, but nothing ever comes of it. Cool animation though .
Oh I agree. Traditional centralised exchanges (CEX) are largely normal exchanges. Of all the things in the cryptocurrency space, they are one of the only things that cleanly fits into an existing box.

Binance, FTX, Coinbase, Kraken, CoinEx, etc are all just traditional financial exchanges and should be forced to comply with existing regulations because they can. They can do traditional KYC and AML in addition to the controls you mentioned because they are centralised services that directly interact with traditional financial services (banking, wire transfer, etc) The only real open question for those services is asset classification.

If those services wanted to comply with regulations, they could do so voluntarily but they aren't actually interested in that like you mentioned.

The issue is that any time regulations come around, they end up misclassifying the network and decentralised projects in the process.

TLDR: Agreed on all accounts with regards to centralised exchanges. My main complaint is that so far the suggested regulations have not fit well onto the rest of the space.
This is not something from 2022. I read it decades ago and it has stuck with me all this time.

I don't see anything there about needing to be on the same filesystem, just that the path is of the form /home/$user/snap. It says that having a home directory that isn't mounted at boot doesn't work, but that's different. Am I missing something?

I'm not sure why you'd need to symlink /home/ to another filesystem instead of just mounting that on /home/ directly, that's what I'm doing with root on ZFS and a separate dataset for /home/ with it's own mountpoint.
Exactly this. The new animation looks cheap and carelessly made. Attention to detail is what separates excellent from mediocre products.
No, I mean Solvency II amongst other rules. There are many others (pension regulations are even worse). Let me help you with complexity (financial regulation doesn't happen to be particularly simple, it won't yield before your mighty intellect because you had a thought, you have to do the work).

Er no, the reason Solvency II exists is to bailout govts (and insurance companies, it is a tacit way of decreasing competition). That is the beauty of these regulations: you have poor people in Europe who are getting absolutely rinsed by this stuff AND they will actually fight for it (the "casino mentality"...is that something that European Commissioner tells you to say?).

It does nothing to increase systemic safety: look at Europe, almost every large bank is functionally insolvent, requires massive zero-interest loans from the govt, almost all new loans in some of the large economies are now govt-guaranteed...is this what a safe system looks like.

If you take a country like Germany, which has gone the farthest down this route, savers have net financial wealth equal to Greece. Look at Allianz's market share, they own everything. It is tragic. Removing these regulations will be massively beneficial for consumers, the reason they exist at all is to limit competition and choice.

Btw, this isn't hard. The US made these changes in the early 70s, that is why they fund most VC activity in London. Consumers need choice, they don't need to have their money trapped in govt bonds subsidizing govts that can't repay their debts in a free market, the only result of this is lower returns for consumers.
Testing thermal performance is as simple as going to a restaurant down the street and asking if you can pay them $100 to borrow their walk-in fridge for an hour for cold, and leaving your device in a hot car for an hour for hot. It's also exactly the kind of thing you should be doing if you're selling an actual product to a customer instead of partnering with someone to test your prototype.
Eventually? Sure. Soon? Maybe.
