G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known
this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

L — And he was forty-two.

G — He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange
relationship.

S — She had better be older than twenty-two.

G — He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she
was only twelve.

G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.

G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and
he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was

Just is built in Rust rather than C. Rust is generally nicer to work with and maintain than C libs so huge win there development wise. Feature wise, only see a couple things with Just right now that differentiate it from Make.
See https://docs.exaloop.io/codon/general/faq

"While Codon does offer a JIT decorator similar to Numba's, Codon is in general an ahead-of-time compiler that compiles end-to-end programs to native code. It also supports compilation of a much broader set of Python constructs and libraries."

Both my Range Rovers are converted to run on propane, and unlike on petrol the LPG system runs the engine very lean. If you use a special glass sparkplug (those old "Colortune ones!) you can see the flame is a lovely bright blue on propane and quite orange on petrol, with the mixtures set correctly.

Measured at the downpipe with the sniffer in the lambda sensor hole it shows no (or almost no) CO and a bit more NOx than you'd really want, but after the cat there's no measurable NOx either. The tailpipe emits basically just warm carbon dioxide and water vapour.
In the US, furnaces are required to be in a closet and have a carbon monoxide shutoff. A furnace will disable itself if local CO levels get above some threshold. So if your furnace's exhaust is working correctly, it shouldn't have much effect on airborne pollution in your house. And if your exhaust -isn't- working, then your furnace will shut itself off.

I don't know the rules around gas boilers, but I'd expect that they're probably the same.

Gas stoves are very different from an air pollution perspective. Kitchens are high-traffic areas in a lot of houses, and stoves are usually out in the open from an airflow perspective. Lots of houses don't have an exhaust hood that vents to the outside. And lots of cooks aren't in the habit of turning on their exhaust fans unless something has burned.

It makes sense to talk about Signal in these types of threads, despite not being about Signal, because Signal is still the de facto private messenger. The userbase is much larger than that of Threema so it is worthwhile to compare how these platforms are doing things differently. Especially in the context of if users should switch. Just like how in threads about Signal it is similarly appropriate to discuss WhatsApp and Telegram (and vise versa). Though I'll admit that these conversations can degrade into flame wars and get off topic quickly.
It can make a maximum difference in cost of about 1% of the final sale price, probably less given the cap and average prices of new build properties. I don't think it'll have a big impact on whether the houses sell, we have a huge undersupply of new housing.

Most gas range manufacturers either already have induction products or can easily enter the market. The barriers of entry are really low, it is not like you are building 3nm microchips.
Brand recognition and existing distribution channels favor existing manufacturers.
For the investors perspective it looks like a non-brainer decision to stand behind this ban.

Consider how many existing households would feel compelled to retrofit to induction, the ability to have differentiated product lines with premium features commanding premium profit margins.

The idea that gas oven manufacturers would not enthusiastically embrace this change reflects a naive and moralistic world view.
I think it's not just about saving the planet. The gases and combustion are also a contaminant for human health. Especially children.

I'm sitting ten feet from my copy of Artificial Intelligence, a modern approach – Stuart Russell, Peter Norvig. While I will say it has a lot of still worthwhile basic information, I really wouldn't recommend it. It's an enormous book, so physically difficult to read, but also the bulk of the content is somewhere between dated and terse. I went through school and studied AI ten years before it was written, and I'm glad I didn't use it as an undergrad textbook - would have been overwhelming.

One of the problem with AI is exactly what you noted above - there are a lot of subcategories and my gut tells me these will grow. For the real neophyte, I'd say start with something that interests you or that you need for work - you likely aren't going to digest all of this in a month and probably no single book will meet all your needs.
It’s one of those things that is rare and unlikely, yet is extremely bad when it happens. Kind of like how airline crashes are much rarer than car crashes, but they are also much worse and always make the news.

When you have a 99% chance of things going well, and a 1% chance of things going badly, normally you would feel very safe. But when “things going badly” can mean dozens or hundreds of people dying in a fire, that 1% suddenly looks a lot more serious.
There's a lot of pressure to get rid of these things. Maybe not as much as there should be.

We have a fairly new forced hot air heating system, and it has a humidifier in-line. It's amazing. You don't really notice it so much until you don't have it. When I'm in a house with forced hot air that doesn't have it, I find it painful. I was at a hotel in DC a while back that had the air on all evening, and my eyes hurt fiercely, dry due to the air. I don't get much of that at home (I'd get none, but... my eyes are broken enough that they're constantly dry to start with).
It looks like the story is just something the author of this post pulled from a Twitter thread (linked at the top). The thread seems (I'm relying on Google Translate since it's in Ukrainian/Russian), to just say there was a big list of a boatload of email addresses sourced from the person's previous work, and it pulled from those to keep registering new Google accounts (or maybe log into them as there's mentions of passwords being included, and simply sign up for GCP on them).

There's also nothing about AWS vs. Google in the original thread I see, nor specific numbers on numbers of accounts, amount saved (tens/hundreds of thousands a month is as specific as it goes), etc.
which just goes to show that they are not truly using fiber. which is my point. if you're using fiber, it is designed to be bi-directional full duplex or whatever to call it technically. if you are offering a true fiber connection with asymmetric speeds, then you are doing something artificial to it.

if you are actually using coax cable, then it's 100% artificial since it's supposed to be fiber.

so what are you implying is the lie?

> that compilers do not do well with this pattern

As compared to hand-written assembly or the tailcall technique you describe. But (for the benefit of onlookers) a threaded switch, especially using (switch-like) computed gotos, is still more performant than a traditional function dispatch table.

Has there been any movement in GCC wrt the tailcalls feature?

One of the limitations with computed gotos is the inability to derive the address of a label from outside the function. You always end up with some amount of superfluous conditional code for selecting the address inside the function, or indexing through a table. Several years ago when exploring this space I discovered a hack, albeit it only works with GCC (IIRC), at least as of ~10 years ago. GCC supports inline function definitions, inline functions have visibility to goto labels (notwithstanding that you're not supposed to make use of them), and most surprisingly GCC also supports attaching __attribute__((constructor)) to inline function definitions. This means you can export a map of goto labels that can be used to initialize VM data structures, permitting (in theory) more efficient direct threading.

The tailcall technique is a much more sane and profitable approach, of course.

90% savings is very easy if the system was built by a beginner. I helped a friend once who was starting and reduced his query by 99% of time, and thus quite a chunk of money, by a couple of simple changes (IIRC avoiding a JOIN he was making that he didn't actually need and adding an index).
If the service was advertised as "improve your page load times" then I can see how that's misleading, but if it was to get a 99/100 page speed score as a kind of "dumb" SEO hack then maybe you got what you paid for?
To be fair, the value in getting a 99/100 pagespeed is SEO optimization, so sites rank higher on Google. The point is getting more traffic to the site, not a better user experience.

Personally identifiable information (PII) is widely used in regulatory law across industries to include SSN, DoB, bank account numbers, home address, etc... so I don't think that's an issue. They typically don't get so so specific to allow the regulators to use their reasonable judgement

California cities don’t, since their choice now is between “approve enough new housing voluntarily” or “lose the ability to reject new housing entirely”.

or they can recommend people to install vents that actually works?
It's hard for a regulation like this to be retroactive. There are a lot of gas stoves in use. It's not feasible to replace them all, for various reasons. So, restricting to new construction makes sense.

Most bay area cities need to build more than they are, but I know that new construction in Berkeley is not zero. One of the last times I was there, I saw some new apartments going up.
Without knowing the false positive and false negative rate this article is meaningless IMHO. Furthermore, even if it had a 0% false negative and false positive rate, it then would be used to train the next iteration of language models.

I always just assumed that the “vent fan” over my gas stove actually, you know, vented. After reading your comment I became suspicious of my fairly typical setup and, sure enough, when I turn on the “vent fan”, it’s being blown out of the top of the unit. Wtf.

I never made the connection that the thing is so loud not because of the fan but because the exhaust air is being forced through a relatively narrow area between the front of the unit and the front of the cabinets above it.

Skepticism is warranted but the original tweets weren’t SEO-d down and seem more believable. This one makes it sound like this was a list of valid Google accounts which could be signed up for GCP:

https://twitter.com/xanf_ua/status/1608121336190357504?s=20&...

That makes more plausible: start with a list of Google accounts, try to use it with GCP, and cycle accounts until you find one which hasn’t exhausted the free tier. It would be very easy to believe that the 1M account number was winnowed down rapidly by the ones which had changed passwords, tripped some kind of suspicious activity alert, etc. or been used for anything else if that wasn’t the only copy of that list in existence.

This is a weak claim unless you provide outside evidence of survivorship bias. Just because a bias could exist isn’t evidence that it does exist in and of itself.

This feels like an example of our trigger happy use of biases to dismiss opinions we disagree with. What perspective, experience, or evidence makes you think survivorship bias is at play here?

In the comment you’re replying to, for example, the rate of un-abandoned RFC started ~20%, and decreased to ~5-10% over the period of GP’s review. That seems lije a very significant change to me, which is hidden by the surprise that the original number wasn’t higher.
Wow, well as someone who straddles the US and EU, he sure as heck seemed to be extremely pro-Putin at the very least, and Putin was very clearly very pro-Trump. Whether Putin has kompromat/direct control of Trump is unknown, what is clearly known is that Putin and Russian nationalists much preferred Trump in charge. I cannot find a single thing that Trump said which is negative about Putin, and Putin is a man who considers the USA his greatest enemy.

I honestly did not think it was debatable at this point that Putin's and Trump's interests were very vocally aligned. It's like you and I live in different multi-verses yet are somehow communicating. How truly bizarre.
