There is a big difference between articles in humanities that are published and those published from labs. Humanities papers are way less templated and usually aren't co-authored in the same way as lab papers are. Humanities papers also often lead the reader through the research and argument, while lab papers often simply state findings or report results. Humanities publishing has its own....idiosyncrasies though, like how certain journals become private fiefdoms for certain intellectual movements or approaches that never subject themselves to real scrutiny. The same citing hijinks also happen. It's a very "I'll pat you on the back if you'll pat mine" system.

There are also different expectations of style, for lack of a better word for it. Humanities papers are often held to certain aesthetic standards that are different than lab papers.

Paradox is a publicly traded company out of Sweden. Their net revenue is great but they're not rolling in dough the way Hasboro is, and they haven't been in the market anywhere near as long.

Plus there is little reason to pick a fight -- Paradox is an online publisher and has it's own slew of IPs. Not a fight worth picking, and one that might be expensive, esp. against an established player in a different market and country.
The east coast of the US has long used extensive snowmaking capacity to keep slopes open. Most resorts in the east have plenty of cold air, but natural snow is iffy at best for long periods. It’s now common for resorts in the east to have 100% (or close to it) of the mountain equipped with snow guns. It’s not fluffy powder but creates a perfectly acceptable surface.

However if the problem these Swiss resorts are having is that it’s just consistently too warm them this is unfortunately probably the beginning of the end for them. Flying snow in via helicopters strikes me as trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
This website claims there are ~160k fewer 10 to 14 year olds than 15 to 19 year olds in the US. I presume that means 40k to 50k kids age out every year and who will not be replaced by kids in the class under them for high school.

The 5 to 9 population is more than 1M less than the 10 to 14 population, and the 0 to 4 is ~300k less than the 5 to 9.

Unless a lot more kids immigrate to the US, school enrollment will fall by 250k per year in a few years just due to fewer kids.
Precisely. I made this exact point a while ago, how come Microsoft didn't submit the source code to Windows as part of the training data, that is at least code that they can plausibly claim they have the rights to.
That is not what ‘drone’ means in a musical instrument context.

Unless the function of these drones is to emit a constant underlying tone to add to the musicality, allowing you to mimic bagpipes, a banjo or a tambura. Which has clearly always been the ambition of any serious pianist.

You can have "dumb" CPUs all you want, just stick with Z80, 6502, 6809. There's still plenty of fun using those and you can hold most of what they do in your head. Add 68000 and MIPS R2000 for some 32 bit fun if you wish. Anything past that level of tech uses brainy tricks to get the performance going.
The actual Swiss we interacted with were the most rude and dismissive hosts I’ve ever had to meet. The times when someone (at a restaurant, chalet, train station, truck/road stop) was kind and patient surprised us… and they always ended up being non-Swiss temp workers. I wonder where those workers will go; they are the ones who are going to need financial help with any transition because the Swiss will finally get what we heard many grumbling about - no more tourists.

Friend of mine is always surprised when we discuss something and 20 seconds later I send him an article I once read about it. He has asked multiple times what I use to store all these links. It's Google. I just use Google to find the article again based on what I remember from it.

This doesn't always work though and can lead to a frustrating half hour of searching that ends in disappointment.

Which is not to say that it is not done, but personally I have enough options that I would like to see them try to fire me over something like that. If I'm staring off into the distance to think about something or reading source code without pgdn'ing for five minutes, yes it's not uncommon that my screen turns off while reading something (until I get around to setting the timeout higher at least) but that doesn't mean I'm not working.
I would actually like the opposite: cap the resolution. I don't really need 4k videos.
The only issue that I see with the Tech Industry obsession with "bus factor," is that companies insist on replacing "rockstar" developers, with really (and I mean really) low-skill developers. i.e., Linus needs to be replaceable by a JS programmer, right out of bootcamp.

This leads to truly awful codebases, "dumbed down" to the lowest common denominator. I have had people tell me not to use advanced Swift capabilities, because "a JavaScript programmer couldn't understand it." I'm a fairly advanced Swiftie, but not as leet, as some.

One of the really nice things about my current [unpaid] gig, is no one telling me that my code is "too complicated," or "too strange."

Yeah, it's strange. Learn to live with it...

> the only (sane) way I can think of handling this is propagating the error down to the caller

A big problem, among many, with doing that is that you leak implementation details out of the abstraction. If, to stick with your example, you have a function that helps you with reading files, the caller shouldn't care where the data is stored. Today it might be the local filesystem, tomorrow S3, and when you make that change nothing about the rest of the program should break.

But you can't count on the lower level functions using the same errors. As you suggest, a "a file I’m trying to read doesn’t exist" isn't represented as a "bucket 404", even though at a higher level they are the exact same thing. If you straight returned the "a file I’m trying to read doesn’t exist" error as you got it from the file API, now the caller is going to depend on that, and when you replace it with the S3 function that returns a "bucket 404" error, everything starts to break.

What you typically want to do is return a more generalized "not found" error that can remain stable regardless of specific implementation details. There are rare cases where you can get away with simply returning the value up the stack, but in the majority of cases you need to handle the error, either by doing something with it or returning a new error that is more useful to the caller. And, so, try becomes essentially unusable without the language taking a larger macro take on supporting such a feature.

Like the sibling comment points out, Rust does "from" conversion when using try (?) to try and avoid encountering the same fate.
As silly as it sounds, this water warmer for baby bottles: https://a.co/d/hhJzLBn

Nothing's worse than trying to mix the perfect water temperature at 3 AM while the baby is screaming, waking up the rest of the family. (We use pre-boiled water for the baby's bottles, so it's not as easy as adjusting a tap.) We bought this after we had our second baby and it's made feeding the baby slightly less stressful.

While wishing Linus the best of heath etc., it's probably one of the projects I worry about the least. It's technically a benevolent dictator model. But as others have mentioned there are a bunch of other maintainers--most notably Greg KH but there are a lot of other senior people heavily involved. It's also under a foundation and, not to put too fine a point on it, a lot of corporations with a lot of money are heavily involved.
Home Assistant is the most important service that I host myself. With this comes a slew of other services that make HASS as cloud-free as possible (Zigbee2MQTT, ZWaveJS2MQTT etc). After that it's a mix of testing containers and VMs on Proxmox, some of which help me learn new things or procure select media formats. I avoid hosting things that are unnecessary to host just for the sake of hosting, like the popular Vaultwardenor Nextcloud. I also have a personal Plex server that's just for the local network.
> But it does not infringe on the copyright on any WotC property.

It's not that simple. The main thing to remember is that even a threat of an expensive lawsuit is a pretty credible one in the US, because of how the system is set up.

Yes, frivolous suits get thrown out pretty fast, but that's still not cheap (because you need to hire an attorney to communicate with the court on your behalf, because, again, the system is set up that way), and when it comes to copyright very few things are that clear cut.

Just with a mod for a game it's easy to argue that without the game there's no mod, so the mod is a derivative work.

And if your campaign is bolted to the mechanics, then it's not hard to argue that the campaign is basically genre-bending fanfiction (ie. copies the same themes into a new setting), so one might argue it should get the same legal treatment as a derivative work.

Even if it's ~90% that you would win the case, it might cost you a lot, that's why this matters to businesses. (It likely doesn't matter to individuals or small clubs that publish things for free.)

> Beauty is as much in the ear of the listener as in the eye of the beholder.

For all the human ear can hear, though, this can be implemented with a digital "nostalgia filter".

For the rest I agree with all you said, except a lingering feeling that there is one exception:

In the end audio is analog. Yes, the digital version literally perfectly contains the analog perfection that's hearable. But that assumes a perfect digital to analog conversion.

In theory a 192kHz digital signal, with a DAC that understands it, may create distortions that add in a subjective pleasant way within the hearable spectrum, whereas a 44.1kHz signal may, in DAC, cables, or headphones, create a different set of distortions.

For high end amp and speaker/headphones this should matter less.

For anyone interested in Brazilian culture in late 20th century: Aleister Crowley was a source of inspiration in some of Raul Seixas (early Brazilian rockstar) compositions. Raul became a friend of the now famous writer Paulo Coelho. It is said that the the influence of one another in their lives was crucial for the success of both.

For peolpe wanting to have a glimpse of Crowley and Seixas' influence on Paulo Coelho, I strongly recommend listenning to some of the music they composed together.

People step up at moments like this.

As a Lead:

When my wife had heart problems, I instantly told my team to go on auto-pilot, who would run their ceremonies, and went to support my wife. When I got called by someone with a question that was answerable by my team, I chewed them out. This is all with 100% support from my director.

As a developer:

I'm working on a product where the product has been developed by one dev largely for many years. I'm at the 6 month mark now, and honestly, if I had to step up to support everything myself, it'd suck, but the company would keep going. Would I have to change how a few things work? Probably. But would we get our releases out: Absolutely. Usually at 6 months, I could take over most products but this one is very specialized. (Which is why I joined up. I knew the ramp was longer, and I had more growth. :) )

And that is the real story: If you want to get that "truck number" up. Get someone else into your codebase, and working. If not expect some lag while they come on-line, but that the world will keep spinning.

... Also look for people who can learn, over just raw skills in a replacement scenario. Clearly they need to know enough, but it may take you longer to find someone who can check every box, than get someone and have them ramp up to "good enough" quickly, missing a piece or two. Heck you might want 2-3 developers.. something about learning your lesson.

Just another good way to help relieve chronic pain. Amazon holiday sales and market oversaturation are bringing them down to US $60-70 now. Gave the spouse one for Christmas, she used it on her shoulders (rotator cuff) and back and didn’t turn it off for at least 45 minutes.

I’d also recommend a TENS unit, can also be found for cheap ($20-40). Both can vastly improve pain management without relying as much on medications.

I'm sure they're concerned about essay writing, but my kid has been using to help with physics and math homework. Not for basic calculator functions, but it's surprisingly good at giving formulas for complex problems. You can ask things like how to calculate the angle in degrees of fired projectile given initial velocity and range and it will give a formula. Then you can rephrase for how to solve for velocity given range and angle.
Then why do they allow other ad-blocking products or browsers that block ads by default? I don't understand the consistency of their position except that YouTube has a powerful lobby
When you listed your prices, I was awed by the expense of the beer and pizza, but once you got to the hotels and ski pass, the prices look very reasonable for the US. I pulled up Snowbird in Salt Lake City, Utah which has some of the best skiing in the US and not even fancy like Aspen, Colorado. A hotel up there on a Wednesday in two weeks is 454USD per night. Lift tickets are 142USD per day.

Blows my mind. When I skied there in college in 2012, they were roughly 60-80USD per day and they had free ski between 1500-1700.

Gstaad is quite an exclusive resort, but is relatively low level - the village is at about 1,000m. I once shot some photos for the local ski club at one of the slopes there and they wouldn't let anyone but the racers use the piste as they wanted to keep it in good condition. IIRC it was one of the privately owned runs, and they really didn't want this snowboarder wrecking the piste so I had to hike up to shoot photos...

Anyway, Gstaad is not far from Glacier 3000 which has most of its slopes at, yes, 3,000m, so anyone in Gstaad doesn't have to go far for (currently) guaranteed snow. The snow up there should be pretty good.

Lack of snow in this region isn't unusual at this time of year, we had a good amount at the beginning of Dec. What has been unusual is the high temperatures, which has meant that snow is now mostly gone and the snow generating machines are of no use. We've also had a lot of rain, which has made managing the existing snow difficult.

This is the future of low to mid level resorts however. In a couple of generations time they won't be able to offer skiing, or the length of the ski season will be significantly reduced. I shot a photo project on this when I first arrived here, nearly a decade ago: https://www.formulanon.com/switzerland-bergbahnen
