I guess it's because in web context, it's easier to do web calls async than sync. While it's perfectly possible to do async web calls in something like C++, or at least move stuff to a different thread, people just somehow don't. Maybe out of lazyness since the first Google result was sync, or because lifecycle management is harder if raw pointers are involved, or whatever else.
When you’re talking about global strikes between nuclear powers and converting massive amounts of coal to fertilizer, you have already exceeded the optimal costs for a splendid little war. China blundering into more than it bargained for over Taiwan is one thing, are you really expecting it’s going to commit to a world war-level of production and economic transformation over one island, no matter how much it might believe it to be its patrimony? And as if the U.S. wouldn't retaliate with transpacific conventional strikes in kind?

As we see in the reversal over zero COVID, even the Chinese government has to listen to the sentiments of its well-to-do urbanized population created by Dengist reforms, regardless of how objectionable it might find them. Can you not imagine those coastal elites and middle classes complaining about wartime austerity, the blow to the quality of life they're used to?

At some point devising so many elaborate hypothetical war plans is just technothriller novelizing. Which is just fine with me, Tom Clancy left us no true heirs.

The more direct equivalent to the Windows start menu (assuming you just want to search programs) is the Launchpad, which isn't bound to a key by default but you can do it in settings. It's much more reliable than Spotlight. Personally, since I regularly have to deal with all 3, I use the same key combo for PowerToys Run on Windows, Launchpad on Mac, and the GNOME app launcher on Linux.
What if your car battery had a chemistry that could sustain ~10000 cycles if well handled, and aging in general was a bigger issue than cycle degradation?

We’re approaching this with the recent LFP generations.
It is that carbon tax at Enron wanted to control. It hits small businesses and the poor like a baseball bat.
It seems misleading to refer to CC-1 and CC-2 as "executives".
I also have this issue. It's not 100% repo for me, be it's pretty frequent. I'm on a relatively recently fresh installed Windows 11.

I've also have an issue where sometimes the start menu doesn't let me type in the search on the first open until I close and reopen again.
There is thermal management and then there is thermal management.

Nissan leaf had cell level voltage and temperature monitoring, it also had a rudimentary heating element that would not let the battery freeze solid.

Its battery also was poorly designed so some of the cells had worse conditions than others and the batteries "died" because a few cells went out of limits and the BMS would limit the performance/range of the car. The rest of the cells could go much further. Also you should never charge lithium batteries (other than LTO) below freezing as it forms crystals that are lost to the capacity. Leaf did not to my knowledge compensate for this.

Moreover 24kWh battery doing 1000 cycles is about 100 000 km of driving.

Then there is Tesla batteries that have liquid cooling and heating of the whole pack. Battery is never charged below freezing, also above freezing the charging is adapted to the cell temperatures and for fast charging the battery temp is raised up to 60C, above 65C the cooling kicks in.

The batteries are much larger in Teslas, typically say 80kWh. That combined with better efficiency, better battery management, lower power draw per cell, etc means that they get more than 1k useful cycles out of it. Say 2k (tho they claim more, and there is considerable variability due to use and environment). So 500km * 2k cycles is 1 million km.

The battery may degrade due to age before it reaches its cycles.

Also as mentioned above. Tesla does draw up to 300kW out of the battery. The onboard AC charger is 11kW so if that is bidirectional then the it is really gentle on the battery.

That said, I'm not dissing Nissan, they were truly innovative and we owe them lots of gratitude for popularizing EV's and they have also evolved their tech considerably. Others are doing battery management very well as well nowadays.
The name "acceleration" is just as misleading as "expanding" here, but maybe useful.

Our galaxy is non-gravitationally-bound to a lot of other galaxies, and we "accelerate" away from them. Yet we don't really feel that. We also obviously can't accelerate away from all of them, when they are in random directions. That's because the "acceleration" describes the change of distance, without changing position. Without changing position, there's no change of momentum.

That "acceleration" is a consequence of the expansion/stretching described in the article.
The syntax in examples in the thesis looks nice.

The worst thing about the Windows Start Menu search is that it changes the top result without any user input, and it feels like it happens almost every time I use Windows.

I'll type the first few characters of a program installed on the machine, and the top result is the program I want.

But just as I hit Enter, the top result switches out to a web search, so instead of the program I wanted to start, I'm staring at a page of useless Bing results.

Just infuriating, and makes me so glad that I'm using Rofi/Wofi, which never changes the results without user input, and responds to keypresses with no perceptible delay, even when searching across every file in my home directory (via fzf).
Yes, exactly.

There are no absolutes but normally fundraising is hard and you need to get 99 ticks out of 100. So starting with `x`s built in makes it tough.

There’s definitely good people in academia and industry who could be great founders but need help cracking the “I can’t start a startup because I have money/life responsibilities” catch 22.

But ultimately if the people who really hustled the company into existence are not the people in the founding team, what confidence do you have that the founding team will raise the next funding round and the one after that without needing their hands held?

And if they have the personality to jump into other people’s vehicles then who’s to say they won’t jump out of this one when the going gets tough?

I just read that their chatbot will update word-by-word Slack channels, justifying the need for edits and an emoji to acknowledge the interaction is over.

Isn’t that peak “liberal libertarian”? The government staying out of the “market” to avoid any distortion, it’s only legitimate move to be staying out of the ways as much as possible, occasionally cleaning up the mess with generous subsidies and debt fueled capital injections?
I'm of course with you on the physical knobs and having direct access to the vehicle's functions.

But I absolutely prefer having CarPlay instead of having to stick my phone in a random location, blocking the view, or having to make sure wires don't interfere with anything, or finding a way to have the phone not vibrate, etc. I usually rent my cars, so I can't set up something sturdy and have cables get there nicely.

I also like my phones small, which makes them less than ideal in a car, being sometimes far away (I hate talking to my phones so have to be able to reach them with my hands). The aforementioned vibrations don't help, either.

My dad's Toyota, as well as a Fiesta I rented a while back, were perfect for this. I could stash the phone somewhere out of the way, and have the map or whatever displayed on the big screen of the car, which didn't vibrate and was well-placed.
Sure you can use the environment variables, and if you have simple uses cases this is probably the best way to go.

Your comment might be a bit blunt, but those harsh reactions to it do not help, either (but thanks for voicing for me though) I just want to be clear that I am not affiliated with Deno Deploy in any way.

I think that vendor lock-in is a fair concern. I actually added documentation on self-hosting on a server after I saw your comment. The repository had a lot of reference to Deno Deploy, because it’s vendor-specific feature, BroadcastChannel, made it possible for the service to be distributive while maintaining low-latency, based on my own test results. Another great product that offers a similar feature is Cloudflare Worker (Durable Objects). However, it’s server framework is more restricted that I am not able to write a TCP hole-punching rendezvous service on top of it. Yes, I’ve been trying to implement this idea for long until I found Deno Deploy.

IMHO, vendor-specific features can be carefully designed to avoid much of the migration cost. Usually, those features try to provide an interface that is close to open standard. For example, when I first tried to migrate a Python service from container to Vercel serverless function (now.sh at the time), I only changed one line of code and wrote a 10-line config, because they accepted any Python app written in WSGI. It’s not always a dilemma when it comes to decision on vendor-specific features.
Switching between Windows and Mac, spotlight (or Alfred) is something I missed on Windows (solved by using FlowLauncher, PowerToys Start doesn't support plugins).

I don't understand the need to wait for something other than a search box to draw on the front when I just wanted to search and launch something.

On top of that, there is no way to customise the search result or create aliases. If I installed something portable without writing to registry, I couldn't even find it. And this is coming from a company that is adding AI to their search engine soon.

I've been thinking about starting some kind of studio - not to work on other people's ideas [1], but to develop a few different concepts that I've been working on for a few years, which are mostly proven (have very happy, paying customers) but now need dedicated teams for proper build-out and scale.

The obvious response is that I should just pick the most promising one and focus on that, and put the others to one side.

Reasons not to do that are:

(1) all are quite important (addressing significant problems for important industries or consumer groups), but for different reasons,

(2) I actually enjoy the working on different things - each has appeal for different reasons,

(3) I'm an older founder with a family/mortgage, and see it as more prudent to spread my risk across a few different bets than go all in on one (which I've done before when I was younger), and

(4) though the concepts are quite different in terms of industry/product functionality/technologies required, I can see some commonalities in the types of people that would be interested in working on these ideas (for the same reason that I like working on all of them), but also some differences in the fun-vs-importance/impact of each, and I feel like there's some advantage in being able to rotate team members from one project to another every few months, spending some time on the more fun things, and then some time on the more "important" projects - or whatever they prefer.

But I'm still wrestling with the pros and cons of going this way vs just focusing on one thing. I'd be happy to hear thoughts from people as to whether this kind of thing could work, and what pros/cons I might not have considered.

[1] Several years ago I worked as an employee for an agency/studio that did "we'll build your startup for you" kind of work (not for equity, just cash); we had some solid wins, but for the ones whose startups didn't work out it was hard to see all that money (usually founder savings) go to waste, and I would never want to do that again.
One feedback/idea in regards to the API: instead of using positional arguments, the parameters could also be named flags, i.e. `wfh.sh --user shunak --visibility public`. That’s slightly more verbose, but it would make it easier for the parameters to be optional. For example, the Github username could read its default from an environment variable, because in many cases it probably stays the same anyway. Or, if you don’t specify `--visibility`, then it defaults to `public` (just like on Github).

That way, you could also optionally offer to set the repo name to something different than the folder name, e.g. `--name some-arbitrary-name`.
So I suppose you also write your own compiler, your own operating system, and built its computer from bare transistors as well? Because all of that looks like magic to me too.

At some point you have to accept the foundation you have as something that works, it's battle proven, and it's built by experienced and reliable developers and you build on top of the shoulders of giants. Reinventing everything from scratch so that you understand it makes you the only one that understands it.

There was a famous phrase by Arthur C. Clarke that I think applies here along the lines of "Any sufficient advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
On Windows 11 the start menu is simply unusable; there is no way at all to disable network requests (group policy, registry, etc.). Every single keystroke makes a new network requests, even with web search disabled.

Information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty it is not information.

Redefine entropy to “the distribution of potential over negative potential”, and you will see this analog between physics and (revised) information theory.

Universal potential resolves as aspect (state) through entropic dilation (distribution of potential over time).

This “aspect” is Truth in Objective Reality (a perturbation, measurable IN ANY WAY.)

Done.

That should be modern information theory.

Period.

Potential distributes over negative potential. State is momentary resolve. Information is ANYTHING which REDUCES UNCERTAINTY (and only that which removes uncertainty.)

Now let’s talk about identity, and what is this “universal potential” anyway?

And stop saying “energy” geeze, you sound sophomoric. It is potential. Everything (existent) is universal potential resolving as state in the moment of now.
> With electricity spot market, this sort of money is around

This happens precisely because of supply-demand - peak dispatchable bulk generation is more expensive. VtG brings a lot of cheap supply bringing prices down and causes balancing stress on distribution grid, increasing distribution costs. 5x sounds like an absolute pipe dream

From an IT support & admin point of view The Windows 10+ XML based start menu stuff has been bit of a dumpster fire the whole time. Start menus would randomly not work at all and need the users whole profile nuking to resolve. Who wants to see results from Bing in their start menu? Anyone? Controling start menu and taskbar for the org by policy is way more complicated now. Yes you can make it work eventually but it could be so much easier if anyone at Microsoft gave a crap about users and admins any more.

Thanks, yeah it is strange that the same capacitor leaked on both boards. Actually there was a second capacitor on my first "bad" board that might have also been leaking, but I never pictured it. It was less obvious. Also, I only saw 2 "bad" boards myself, so maybe it's just coincidence.

A friend thought maybe that capacitor was getting squeezed during production, or the board is just designed such that that capacitor is more likely to fail.
I do not think Datasette has much to offer the savvy analyst. The base experience is more-or-less what you can get from DBeaver. However, the plug-in system does dramatically change this: check out Simon’s example with the train announcement audio clips or any of the mapping examples.

Instead, I have used Datasette as a way to distribute data to less technical groups with a minimum of fuss. Without dedicated infrastructure, sharing data bigger than an Excel file can require quite a bit of work, requiring building some kind of custom query/search/visualization mechanism. With Datasette, after I have completed an analysis, I can dump as much data as I want into some (fairly wide) tables, give a three minute tutorial (This is like a web version of Excel, and this is how you filter rows), and leave them to explore. This has allowed me to offer alternatives reports by just creating a new view into the data. As the underlying technology is SQLite, it can handle large datasets without problem.
