You can version control the code you write with QueryStorm, to an extent. There are basically two kinds of apps you can build with this: extension apps (where you build general excel functionality) and workbook apps (where you automate a particular workbook).

The code for extension apps is stored in a folder on your machine, and you can version control that easily.

The code for workbook apps is stored inside workbooks. While there's no version control functionality in QueryStorm, it does let you export code from a workbook into a folder, as well as import code from a folder into a workbook project. There are context menu commands for this in the code explorer pane. This lets you decouple the code from the workbook.

Basically, for version controlling code in a workbook, you'd have to export the code into a folder and version control it there. Exporting into a folder will clear everything from the folder except hidden stuff like the ".git" folder so your git repository will be safe. Not a perfect solution, but it can be done.

Really cool. I could see MS jumping on this because of their strong association with C#.

That said, I think the ideal replacement for VB & VBA in most contexts is python. The reason is they're both high level languages with ease of learning as a selling point. Python has a massive userbase, and there is significant overlap of python and MS Office tools. Data analysts who have to deal with Excel & SQL Server are much more likely to know python than any other language outside of SQL.

It seems like python has pretty much locked up the spaces that VB was designed for.

We're already in a monoculture. And that monoculture is Chrome, not Safari which is a very distant second in comparison.
If we're being pedantic maybe "for Excel" would be clearer? But what do I know.
You smart people sure are dumb.

HR is the real enemy here and their fear-based power derives from risk management action against Federal/State mandates and potential employee legal action, i.e. "Make sure we don't get sued and that we have a strong defense if we do."

Without a documented methodology for weeding out 'poor performers' and a history of doing so, the company's risk from an individual dismissal increases.

Hence the HR team locked in the basement where nobody accounts for the differential cost from all these schemes and programs.

Like vaccinations, thousands of lives are vaccinated in the hopes of preventing one, high-cost event with a damaging outcome.

PCs enumerate hardware with

In that process the OS figures out the attached hardware and how to access it.
From Google's point of view they likely believe that a microkernel could more easily be secured than a monolithic kernel. Also, it's probably great [from their point of view] to have control over their OS and its "community".
> But because certain media outlets use the language of war and invasion to describe the peaceful migration of people from country to country, the followers of said outlets have decided that we are, in fact, at war with these people.

I guess pretending the issue is just some kind of Fox News conspiracy theory is easier than actually understanding it?

People use the language of "invasion" for a reason. In Texas, non-hispanic whites make up ~30% of births[0], but accounted for only 5% of the population growth[1].

The way I read it, the paper is more interested in what happens to EV batteries when they drop to 80% of the maximum storage capacity. If I understood them, they're saying that at this level, the battery is no longer suitable for transportation purposes. So what do you do with the old battery when you replace it?

They're suggesting using these extremely expensive but no-long brand-new batteries for additional grid storage. Take the battery you don't use anymore, and instead of paying someone to dispose of it, plug it into the grid and get paid for its use.

There were other Pascals around with system programing extensions, quite a few were eventually standardized in ISO 10206 (1991).

And while the discussions keep going around Pascal and its extensions, there is this little detail of Modula-2 being released in 1978, where all the issues with Pascal (as originally designed by Wirth) for systems programming were already fixed.

> Just look at the HN frontpage yesterday - Google Pixel phone pwned because all android applications have unfettered access to the GPU driver, which itself had a vulnerability. In a Fuchsia world, only apps requiring 3D rendering would have access to the 3D bits of the GPU driver.

I think that's a common misconception. I'll freely admit I don't know how Fuchsia handles this, but in the realm of conventional OSes,[0] all modern apps require what twenty years ago would be considered “3D”. The GPU isn't just there for games, it's used to render the UI of all applications, and it's done via APIs you might associate with 3D. Actually, if we define GPU strictly[1] and ignore GPU compute for a moment, there are no “non-3D bits” of the driver.

[0] At least macOS, iOS, Windows and Android. Not sure what GNOME etc do.

[1] A modern graphics card combines display output, 3D rendering/GPU compute, and video encoding/decoding. If you were to build an SoC with those capabilities, you would want to licence three different IPs: a display processor, graphics processing unit and video processing unit respectively.

I think it depends on how you use it. If you write a one-line prompt, you'll get a "generic" result. With more guidance, you can get something much more personal. For example, you could imagine a story and let ChatGPT pick the actual words.

At the end, you can put an arbitrary amount of work to get a generated story. You can treat ChatGPT as a co-author who will help you do the parts you want (e.g. find ideas, find text structure, write the actual sentences). The end result depends on how much work you want to do yourself.

APRS: Automatic Packet Reporting System

Ham radio operators use it for rovers and balloons, among other things. News choppers use it to report their position. If you have a radio, you can hear amateur APRS on 144.39 in the United States and 144.80 in Europe. There is even an APRS digipeater on the ISS at 145.825 MHz FM. You will hear a few APRS stations being repeated on most passes. The whole APRS network is actually pretty cool. If you have an SDR, decoding is pretty straight forward: https://www.w8wjb.com/wp/2021/03/21/decoding-aprs-packets-wi...

And even when it comes to food, eating well involves creativity: arranging textures, colors, nutrition, etc. The French speak of l'art de la table, or the art of a well-served meal that encourages conviviality and conversation.

It’s a nice follow up. I think it is worthwhile to point out some counter intuitive results that happen in the absence of choice. Check out this post:

https://mathoverflow.net/questions/20882/most-unintuitive-ap...

To me the essence of the issue is with dealing with uncountable sets. Our intuition fails in some cases when dealing with uncountable sets. I suspect that whatever axioms you have that seem reasonable for a foundation for set theory then those axioms will lead to bizarre results when dealing with uncountable sets.

EDIT: When I wrote worthwhile to point out above, I was referring to people who may read the comments here and not the actual blogpost.

I can’t construct the function requested in the blogpost but this isn’t a problem for me philosophically. Probably because I’ve been brainwashed to deal comfortably with such situations.

"Yeah, have your people call my people." Haunting stuff.
A somewhat related technique which I often find useful is something that’s known as “immediately invoked function expressions” (IIFE) in JavaScript. That also creates a sub-scope in place, but it let’s you return values to the enclosing scope. E.g.:

result := func() string {
helperVar1 := //...
helperVar2 := //...
return helperVar1 + helperVar2
}()

So it’s basically an anonymous function that is invoked right away. You could achieve the same scope separation by pulling it out as named function, but sometimes I like it better to keep things closer together.

$58 CAD for a 100/10 Mb/s, which is fine for my use. The cheapest advertised plan from the company actually providing the service is $116 for a 350/10, which is $11 more expensive than a 1000/15 from the company I go through.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but internet service had caps in most parts of Canada a while back. Around here, it is unlimited from all of the ISPs. It is also worth noting that a lot of the complaints come from rural customers. Living in the city, I have very few issues. (For example, the download speeds are over the advertised rate. It is supposed to be uncommon to get the advertised rates in rural and even suburban areas.)

But basically every app with UI requires 3D rendering because that's how 2D toolkits are implemented these days too.

The actual systematic fix for the Android GPU issue is what Chrome does: require untrusted code to serialize command streams to a separate process that does extensive validation before handing off to the driver. But that yields a performance/energy impact, so, it may also be more reasonable to just audit and fix drivers.

I mean, I think I understand what they're saying. A thirty minute tempo will develop your aerobic capacity more than a thirty minute easy run-- more or less analogous to progressive overload in weightlifting. That's not to say that you can't grow/improve as a runner without challenging sessions, but I imagine the rate of improvement would be significantly lower. Pro runners would be doing as many workouts as possible per week if recovery weren't an issue!
Calories are a good enough metric. There are exceptions: It's hard to calculate how much energy your body will spend to digest food burning energy in the process. Eg. nuts are high calories but also increase the amount of energy you're burning.

If you worry about macros (eg. hitting your proteins) you can get even better results by building muscle (which increases your metabolism and make you burn more fat) and avoiding a bunch of health issues likely linked to eating modern processed crap.

That said, the phrase:
> without making your calorie intake less than your expenditure you will not loose weight

is correct and not a meme. It's just that your expenditure is hard to track and can be influenced by a lot of factors.

What I found that works wonders is to:
- 1. keep your diet and fitness regimen as constant as possible, no matter what it is
- 2. swap food with lower calories and higher protein intake, while trying to avoid processed food
- 3. increase exercise without adding food
- 4. measure your weight every morning at the same time
- 5. do that until you stop gaining weight and your weight is constant for a few weeks
- 6. reduce calories by doing step 2 or 3 again until you start losing a bit of weight
- 7. keep doing it until you hit your target weight

I did this to lose weight years ago and it worked well. The main advantage is you don't have to worry about counting calories.

Last year instead I just went carnivore (admittedly, I did it to sort out other health issues, the weight loss was a welcome side benefit) and I found myself feeling full (thanks to the higher fat intake) and eating a sensible amount of meat, which helped me lose 10kgs over ~10 weeks. I'm sure not eating carbs (ketosis) also played a role.
That's just saying what I said in a different way.
>Aren't people wary about using their very expensive car batteries for the grid?

EVs have mostly not yet filtered down to the socioeconomic rungs that have reason to be skeptical of things by default.

Based on what we know about EV battery lifetimes so far and how graceful their failure is I think your concerns are unfounded though.
