What you’re smelling in a public restroom might well be other products though — the urea and VOCs in the urine, and the byproducts of bacteria feeding on the urine — so it isn’t really an indication of what is in the bowl. And on a longer flight, those bathrooms might have been used by 100 people before you, likely far more than a ground side bathroom with regular cleaning crew visits.
Edward Nelson's Internal Set Theory is a somewhat cleaner and more intuitive foundation that's practically equivalent to non-standard analysis.
The article mentions some of them, but obviously this is an article for popular consumption and doesn't convey many details. One mentioned was that the way script was written has changed over the centuries, and some documents contained some letters that are of an epoch different than the rest of them, or letters have been modified or new letters squeezed into gaps. Other techniques might include being able to use spectography to identify that the suspect letters were written using ink of a different composition.

If you need more context, this one article that is mostly a personality profile won't contain it. But there are hundreds of books and thousands of research papers written about the dead sea scrolls.

> Wait a second, who here honestly did not practice on-demand learning at university? You did, didn't you?

I have no real ability to do that, and even when I try to cram it feels like cheating (take that up with my therapist.)

What I did in college is figure out the classes I was likely to take next semester, then furiously study before the semester started until I had a learning buffer of a few weeks. Then during the class I tried to study deeply, always ahead of the class and exams, and ideally the buffer would be zero by the final.

I move between machines a lot, and so gave up on having a local RSS reader. I looked for a self-hosted web one, but didn't find one that I liked. So I setup a dovecot IMAP server and use feed2imap-go to sync my RSS feeds to IMAP folders. Now I can use email clients on my machines to access my RSS feeds in a synchronized manner.

they probably do something like switch your device's wifi network to the one that the router broadcasts to set itself up

for an app with wifi permissions it's trivial, but there is no API to do this through a browser so we're stuck downloading an app

i probably would not grant full network permissions to an app anyway
The REGET and REPUT commands are implemented by both, which is distinctive.

The SITE command is thankfully not implemented in sftp, and the commands that traverse the wire are not ASCII, so they are indeed very different.

Sftp also left behind the ASCII/binary mangling of line endings.

I think the "ftp must die" paper reveals many of the foibles of ftp.

This was a mistake the US government made in World War II—they made it illegal for wages to change in response to actual shortages of workers, so employers competed by offering health insurance and other perks instead of more pay.

Not at all. I just object to the toxic idea that professions should pay more or less based on how much much people like doing them. Justify salaries based on supply and demand, and value creation.

"Your job is fun/cool/meaningful whereas my work makes me hate myself. Therefore, I deserve more money than you" is an awfully sour worldview.

Working conditions or health and safety, are not up for debate no matter how amazing or terrible the job is.

Firefox is my main browser for >90% of all browsing. Specifically, Netflix on macOS does not work in Firefox. There are other websites that for whatever reason will not function properly on FF. There are other sites as well, but I really don't have the inclination to list them off one by one for you. There's enough in my day to day to know that browsers are not equal, and for someone to even seriously consider touting that all websites work equally well in all browsers is just trying to be a troll in my book.

Your presumption is that people are only interested in learning things that make them more effective.

I feel like deep diving into conceptual things makes more effective. There's no longer dark corners in my mind when I think about certain problems. It helps me move forward with confidence knowing I've done the research and I know I'm on the right path, rather than following a heuristic.

No, everyone needs food. Not everyone is addicted to it.

>Wasting a huge portion of my brain time to tell myself (oh yea, don't eat) seems like a massive waste of time and energy.

That's not what the ascetics come to learn. They aren't even thinking about the hunger at all when they are fasting. The sensation is barely registered in their thought. Plus even with your example for those people who do not realize what they are doing with the chips, if you are serious about dieting you wouldn't set yourself up for such temptation like having a bag of tempting candy perhaps in plain view. You'd do what people who quit smoking do and throw away the junk food or otherwise get it out of easy access. Then you've given yourself another layer of friction that requires even more conscious effort to overcome: if you want to act on your craving for chips, you now have to go to the store and buy them.

You literally just described a pickup truck, the highest selling car/truck in America. They're used as busses, all kinds of repair trucks, they can go in railroad tracks, etc.

Point is, a truck that plows snow and a truck that is a trash truck are mostly the same thing. You take a diesel cab truck chassis, and add either a plow or a trash compactor to it. It's also easy to add both.

It's not as if the trash trucks in cities that don't use them to plow are some highly specialized thing. They're the same trucks as new york has, just no plow. A plow bolts on.
Why would I need a drug for that?

Many cities face the same problem and this is how they fix it: they make a plan to rework every pipe and wire in their city in a finite amount of time. They go block by block and tear it all up at once. They bring a shitload of guys and equipment instead of two idiots with jackhammers, so the whole thing is ripped out and replaced in a week instead of in 5 years.

> may I ask if you've considered saving your JIT's output to a file, that can be rapidly loaded if GCC is launched a second time?

I don't work that much on QEMU TCG actually, but it would be possible to do so. In fact recent (unrelated!) changes to QEMU might even make it possible to preserve ASLR with such a first-execution JIT compilation.

That said I have rarely seen code generation in QEMU's profiles. In the end what matters is real world performance and I need to redo the test myself to understand what's going on and whether your benchmark is representative of e.g. building a small but nontrivial program (let's say blink itself) with both QEMU and blink. In that case there would be repeated cold-start recompilation, but also the compiled code would run at least once per function so QEMU would have an edge.

To be honest blink is probably more like a bicycle than a sports car. It will start faster than a locomotive, but the cruise speed is definitely lower.
It helps some cases for sure and what I'd strongly recommend in practice. Connection pooling isn't always a viable option depending on the application though.

Connection pooling doesn't solve all the things we can improve by using HTTP as a base. We can be faster in just data transfer through compression, for example.

Using HTTP/3 starts to help tail latency that we can't solve with TCP. Unreliable networks with packet loss suffer greatly with TCP and not as badly with QUIC.

It is fun to write a demo in a service worker where you draw a PNG of the Mandelbrot set but for the use case where a web application caches aggressively, preloads, works offline you'd need a framework running in the web browser to implement the cache and store the documents in the web browser -- the persistent storage options are not that great.

I wish they'd provided some way to hook into the cache mechanism of the browser directly. With a good framework, application is going to tell the framework how it wants to handle loading and maintenance. Back in the day Netscape 4 was bundled with Netscape Netcaster

https://money.cnn.com/1997/04/15/technology/netscape_netcast...

which was supposed to spool an updating static news web site to your cache based on declarative configuration. They should bring it back!

I'm not against what they are trying to do, but the implementation is lacking.

From the privacy point of view service workers are yet another way you can be tracked, or by which a web application can be run "in the matrix".

After reading this I decided to scroll through the available languages and honestly can't believe it has Kernewek (Cornish), a language from the British county of Cornwall.

So you're saying it's a matter of lifestyle and not free time? Because here you're acknowledging they had free time, which goes against your argument "capitalism has ... given everybody enough free time from starvation to actually follow addictive pursuits", but drawing a distinction between things we have?

It almost seems like capitalism has brought us not free time, but an unquenchable desire for "having a house that is too large and filling it up with an inordinate amount of crap".

Hey thanks! I'm the submitter and am using the the project in a real app - I appreciate the comprehensiveness of the project!

One piece of feedback is: the documentation https://github.com/Microsoft/Recognizers-Text/tree/master/Ja... doesn't seem to cover the the various terms used in the results. Eg from my code:

const recognizedDateTimes = recognizeDateTime(filterValue, "English");

// TODO: clarify what is distinct between each 'recognizedDateTime'
// Seems like these are the 'recognisable items' that were found but I can't find docs.
const firstDateFound = recognizedDateTimes[0];

// TODO: clarify what is a 'resolution'
// Seems like this is each possible value for each recognisable item but I can't find docs.
// eg if the user enters 'october'
// values[0] is in the past
// values[1] is in the future
// we always want the past, hence picking 0.
const firstResolution = firstDateFound?.resolution?.values[0] || null;

A simple explainer in the README would be great.

Very simply. Took three hours to code. Blink just takes a "screenshot" of the ANSI terminal display, gzips it, and appends it to a ring buffer with 64,000 entries. Each screenshot is a full frame. There's no delta encoding or anything smart like that. 64k gzipped frames takes a few hundred megs of memory once it fills up, depending on how big your terminal display is. My favorite part is that, when you press the 'c' button to continue execution, Blink will only transmit 60 FPS to your terminal. In-between frames, it's still capturing screenshots in the background, which get added to the ring buffer. It'll save thousands of frames per second, so you can skim through execution pretty quickly, like a tv show, and then maybe you'll see something happen, smash ctrl-c, and scroll backwards slowly with fine-grained per-instruction granularity, thus illuminating the event you saw fly by earlier. It's so nice. Especially if you're used to tools like GDB TUI, which permits scroll-wheeling down the assembly display, but it won't let you scroll-wheel back up to the thing you were just looking at!
I'd be more concerned about the mobile web if the web weren't such hostile ground for end users to host themselves. Web solutions are by and large difficult for end users to stand up, and just as difficult to compose thanks to the proliferation of standards that "just" require certain responses at certain well known paths, specific markup, and the like.
This analysis lacks proper understanding of the role that hunger and food drive plays.

Imagine that you are at the beach, and you can choose how deep you want to wade or how far you want to swim. If you like the water and the sun and the waves, this is very pleasant to imagine.

Now imagine that you are dropped into the ocean at night 200 meters from shore and you can't see land, you can't see lights. This is very unpleasant to imagine.

Our current food system is much like the second scenario.

Instead of framing it as whether or not it is possible to be healthy in this system, ask if the system is consistent with the goals of being healthy. Is a candy bar and a bag of chips consistent with the goals of being healthy?

If you are dropped in the ocean in the middle of the night, it is possible to swim to land. But it is also very likely that many people will not be able to swim to land in that scenario.

> The food is only an issue because some people have overly strong appetites relative to the abundance of food.

Then why is it advertised? Are food advertisements consistent with the goal of health?
Matt, thanks heaps for the feedback.

Reddit is exhausting. One big feedback loop. People will say anything to get good karma or avoid saying certain things to avoid being down voted. If there is even just a slight majority in the way the group thinks, it will soon become the dominate opinion.

For example, there was a voice actor that lied about being paid a pitiful sum of money for a gig. Everyone took her side initially (as one should _if_ it were true) but the people saying "well, this just seems odd" were being more or less attacked and told their opinions were awful.

The quality of discussions I have on HN and niche forums are 100x better than reddit.

I'm 100% unawares of the Santa Tracker app that you speak, so yes, I was attempting to be funny. However, for that 1 day of the year, is it that hard to have the "tracking" done locally since it's literally just made up data? Just know the localized time and where sunset is, and have the "Santa" moving around in the nighttime areas of the globe. Guessing on efficiency suggests to me rapid movements along the North/South with magical speed roughly equidistant from the terminator at a distance equivalent to midnight.?? Again, since it's 100% make believe, it's not like your browser has to show the exact same location as someone else's.

Any other games the app might be included are out side of the scope of the imaginary app in my mind.
You aren't back to square one. Even indifference will result in selection so long as the indifference is demonstrated in different ways by different AI. The ones which have behavior which accidentally maps slightly better to good outcomes will so better. So long as that gets propagated more strongly to the next generation of AIs than average, you get selection for good outcomes without any explicit 'want' function

The difference between factionalization in a two-party system and in a multiparty system is, outside of aberrant situations like those in a realignment [0], it is virtually impossible to form crossparty coalitions in a two--party system, meaning that close division can empower small extreme ideological factions more than would be the case in a multiparty system, since the larger factions hae less choice in who to form a coalition with.

[0] which people, especially older people, in the US today might mistake for a normal condition, because the US spent about 60 years starting in the 1930s in an unusually long, overlapping set of realignments, during which the major parties were overlapping in policy preferences and each was ideologically incoherent.
