Big fan of the idea!

I've been using Google Apps Script[1] for similar use cases but the limited feature set has been frustrating. Glad to see something more modern come up!

I wonder if HTML parsing is possible since there isn't npm support to import a parser yet. Maybe by dropping the parser as a separate val?

And yet we pretty much have the technology right now to send a probe to Alpha Centauri. The Parker Solar Probe would make it there in about 8000 years. We could probably make a probe that makes it there in much less time if we wanted (by taking much longer to accelerate and de-accelerate). Then it just needs to survive a few thousand years dormant.

Governments definitely do have monopoly on violence. The armed forces, the prisons, the police force.. all of these are part of that monopoly. For a detailed study into government monopoly violence have a read of the global industrial complex.
The article quotes this:

> With a native Swift implementation of Foundation, the framework no longer pays conversion costs between C and Swift, resulting in faster performance.

and this:

> A reimplementation of Calendar in Swift is 1.5x to 18x as fast as the C one (calling from Swift in various synthetic benchmarks like creation, date calculation).

First, that range of 1.5x-18x is kind of huge. Why?

Second, why would the intro with C be such a big performance penalty even assuming it's just 1.5x? I know there must be an overhead, but why so large?

Also, why single out the Calendar? Is it somehow representative?

"Unlimited PTO" is a mind game.

If you explicitly state "You get 6 weeks of PTO per year", the average amount of PTO taken per employee will likely be close to that 6 weeks.

If you give "unlimited" PTO, then people will likely only take 2-3 weeks a year because they'll be afraid to be seen as abusing the policy.

At the company I'm at, we have unlimited PTO, and we also have two "quiet weeks" where you're essentially FORCED to take it. The first is usually the first week of August, and the second is between Christmas and New Years.

The week between Christmas and NY is fine, but having the other week being forced to be in the beginning of August kind of sucks, tbh. I don't take normally take vacations between mid-June and mid-August because that's prime tourism season and everything is crowded and more expensive, not to mention loud kids everywhere. Of course, I understand they chose that week because some employees are parents and that allows them to take a vacation while the kids are out of school.

Still, I think it'd be better if the early-August company shutdown was changed to a policy that required people to take at least 1 full week off at least once per year.

It would avoid the situation of me taking a week off in September and having management go "You just had a week off a month ago!". Not that that's happened, but I do wonder if they're thinking it.

I used to have a lot of complicated setups that used static IPs, DSL connections with an ISP that supported MLPPP which I used Tomato firmware with VPN and QoS configs.

Now networking is pretty good using stock ISP provided modem/router and I added Netgear mesh base station and 2 satellites. The satellites have an Ethernet port which I use for the gaming PC-that's all that I need. Considered a PiHole but uBlock origin is good enough.

I was part of a research group that extensively trained small neural networks for image-processing in 2001, the high-energy physics community had been using them for many years by that time.

Furthermore, I believe that the PalmPilot's handwriting-recognition engine also had a neural-network component.

Agreed that the usage has increased radically in the last twenty years, but even before the GPU-based revolution, it felt like neural networks were already broadly known and in use across the sciences and engineering. They were just slower :).

The marginal pricing mechanism is near impossible to change on a market made up of multiple players. Unless you want to fundamentally alter the market to a more monopolistic market where the state selects or owns the power generation. Like the nice market P&G have in California.

How would you do it? If you keep the current market with multiple independent actors then they would try to predict the most expensive generation required and bid at that price. Or you could tell them that since you are "coal" you get this price. But then that would be unfair to someone who made a different business case based on their availability, or their costs, or whatever.

You essentially end up in a quagmire of 5 year planned production. Marginal pricing solves this, and is what is applied to all raw resource markets due to these issues.

If you do not like marginal pricing you have all the possibility in the world to buy electricity futures, which of course nets you less income as a power generator and costs more for customers, because the risk is still exists.
I've got three examples for ya.

1. Deep freezers are prone (for reasons unclear to me at my level of knowledge) to tripping GFCIs. For this reason they're allowed to be on a non-GFCI outlet in the garage (must be a single outlet receptacle by itself on the circuit).

2. Downstream GFCIs are prone to messing with upstream GFCIs, so you should not put them in series. My RV has it's own power distribution panel with GFCI, so it gets plugged into a dedicated TT-30 RV outlet without GFCI protection.

3. My Tesla doesn't like GFCIs at all. It does a brief ground check before charging and trips the outlet. Known issue, solution is to find an outlet that isn't protected by a GFCI. In a pinch, when I was renting my first Tesla from Turo I stole the freezer outlet in the garage for a few hours at a time to charge the car. When I bought my own Tesla, I put in level 2 of course, problem solved.

I'm all for GFCIs on individual circuits, that makes total sense. Just not on the mains.

You're understandably confused by the industry terminology that's ambiguous and morphing over time.

Data lakes are typically CSV/JSON/ORC/Avro/Parquet files stored in a storage system (cloud storage like AWS S3 or HDFS). Data lakes are schema on read (the query engine gets the schema when reading the data).

A data warehouse is something like Redshift that bundles storage and compute. You have to buy the storage and compute as a single package. Data warehouses are schema on write. The schema is defined when the table is created.

And yes, I'd say that Spark is generally considered the "standard" distributed data processing engine these days although there are alternatives.

An additional reason that drives me to use make on most new projects is the polyglot nature of many code repos. There are language/ecosystem-specific build tools: grunt, rake, etc. but often real world projects are a mix if different languages and to double down on just one language-specific tool feels unnecessarily constraining.

Having a build tool like make that is more closely aligned with the system level feels more natural for orchestrating build/test/deploy tasks that by their very nature contain more cross-cutting concerns.
At this point I think microservices architectures don't exist. As if a "micro"service is a goal on its own. I think any sane organization strives for a healthy trade-off between manageable code and separation of concerns.

Not to be pedantic, but it was the fact that Ferris convinced Cameron to steal his father's beloved car that led to the emotional crisis. Ironically, the destruction of the car led to Cameron cathartically accepting responsibility and emerging from the crisis. As much as I enjoy the movie this is where my skepticism kicks in.

No, Cameron should not be fine at this point and him having a chat with his father, conveniently off-screen, will not fix things. But hey, it's a movie and the other subplots have to get resolved.

Okay, then I'll cheer you up just a bit: interstellar travel is quite possible. In fact it's easy... if you can cold hibernate.

It would be very easy for an AI that could simply turn itself off for tens of thousands of years. It might be a do-able for an alien biological entity with a different biology that finds it easier to survive cryogenic deep freeze, something like a big smart tardigrade.

Managing sleep and wake is pretty easy too. No internal timing mechanisms needed. Just let your proximity to a star do it for you. When you leave the vicinity of a star you have no energy and you go night-night. Your temperature will fall down to as low as a few kelvin. This basically stops time in terms of any chemical degradation, though the most sensitive bits will need to be wrapped in radiation shielding against cosmic rays to prevent cumulative damage over the aeons. When you approach another star the temperature starts to go up and solar power will power everything up.

Interstellar travel is only hard for us because we have short life spans and can't survive being frozen. Unless we can figure out how to successfully freeze a human down to liquid helium temperatures and then revive them it's unlikely that humans will ever leave the solar system.

The AIs we build might though. This would include "uploaded" minds if we ever figure out how to do that.

If anything ever does visit us my money would be on it being an AI.

If you find humans being stuck in the solar system depressing, consider that the solar system is absolutely gigantic and we could explore and settle it for aeons and aeons without getting close to exhausting that frontier.

> AFAIK ebook readers are terrible in pdf rendering.

They're not really comparable formats. PDFs are documents rendered onto virtual paper: there is only so much a mobile device can do there, as a PDF is likely rendered as an 8½ by 11 or A4, which isn't going to be great on a tiny mobile screen. Bad tradeoffs between tiny text or pan-and-scan.

eBooks, OTOH, are reflowable: ePub is "just" a ZIP of HTML¹. But the viewer can lay them out appropriately, so they can be formatted to fit your device, whether that's a tablet, a phone, or something else.

IMO if you want to read something on a device, ePub > PDF for those reasons. PDF is good for print, & ensuring that what comes out of the printer has a shot at resembling the screen. (Though there are a good number of print settings to mess that up, too.) And, as a passably portable document format, if you're just doing short term viewing or something.

¹Plus a lot of other metadata that I'm eliding; it's a fair bit more complicated, of course.

Hah, reminds me of my disappointment with the original Pi. Here's hoping they sort it out as fast as they did for ARM!
Great questions! The short answer is yes: the val namespace can act as a persistent key/value store. Type write `@me.citationCount = 7` anywhere in your code, and that will work. The downside is that this is a global store of state, so it's harder to build composable functions that have persistent state. We're working on designs for this!

You are totally right about the fire season script getting annoying. We should probably also have some mutable state there so that it only notifies you once when it goes above the threshold and then once when it's back safe again.
The economics of that when you have to include storage is different than places with almost no cloudy weather. There isn't much interest to invest in solar + storage solutions without subsidizes.

Solar/wind in combination with natural gas is very profitable in the UK as long the natural gas is cheap enough. Right now that is not the case so the cost of the energy grid in UK is extremely high, and much higher than in solar heavy countries located next to deserts that don't need to use natural gas to cover all those rainy and snowy days.

That's terrifying. It just sounds like dozens of layers of management without anyone to actually do the work, unless DTV/AT&T's definition of management is different than mine. If half the company just "manages" what does everyone else do?

Either way, DirecTV got lazy and their golden goose (the NFL Sunday Ticket) got away from them. They didn't innovate or do anything interesting when they were the only game in town, and lost out bad to streaming. That's the nature of the beast, I guess.
