Really? It is now Tuesday in central europe and I guess most machines¹ managed to figure out that fact.

Most machines will also know it is 8:11.

The question is how much resolution do you need and are your clocks accuratly synced enough for the thing you plan to do.

You are aware that many of the physics experiments that operate at the edge of what is possible use extremely accurate clocks synced over national and sometimes continental borders?

¹ let's ignore the ones that have been configured incorrectly
Me too. I SAW the green flash on the beach at Naples, FL. Before, it had been just the title of a very dog-eared book in the UC Berkeley Physics library, that almost everyone in the department had thumbed through at some point.
Theses are parts of science. Hypo thesis is bellow thesis, a candidate.
It depends, you could just be stealing the numbers from elsewhere. One companies gain does not imply increased productivity in society.
From what I'm aware nuclear power stations that are older need to all be phased out eventually as they reach end of life and are no longer safe. Whether they are replaced or not is another thing

I believe their note introduced the idea of using message timestamps in a distributed algorithm. I happen to have a solid, visceral understanding of special relativity (see [5]). This enabled me to grasp immediately the essence of what they were trying to do.

Slightly OT but what is the display type in the Sony Clié shown in the IMG_4158.MOV video in the project gallery?

That is exactly the display type I would love to be able to use for a bit of typing up while sitting outside in the sun.
I'm on the receiving end of donations from sourcegraph using this. It's around $10 per month from that single donation and is for the only Go HTML santizer, which you use when you have user generated / untrusted input that you need to display as HTML. https://github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday

For me the library has been good enough for my own use for a very very long time. I mostly neglect it unless there's some critical issue (which there hasn't been for a very long time — but clearly infosec world knows this lib exists as when I do make changes with crap commit messages I get emails asking what the implications are). I don't improve it at all as my time is better spent on my day job.

I've often thought that there's room for improvement such as a DOM style sanitizer to validate HTML input rather than just a SAX style sanitizer, perhaps formatting of output in addition to sanitising input, transformation rules to allow a safe embedly type thing, etc.

When I got the initial donation I was surprised, first ever bit of support for open source software I'd written (as this was not written on company dime).

Even at $10 per month it is motivating enough to think someone values it. If it accrues into something significant then I may actually feel motivated to improve it rather than just support it.

Interesting is that I'd regard this OSS lib as successful by usage as sourcegraph says 803 projects use it — but given that a fair number of those are things like Hugo which in turn have thousands of forks and many more thousands of instances of use, well it does appear that this sanitizer is to safe HTML in Go what https://xkcd.com/2347/ illustrates. Originally it was written for my own use and it's now used by virtually everything in the Go world that makes a website.

Perhaps people don't know this and libraries like it exists though? Perhaps they import some web framework and this came with it? Well, for that awareness thank you to thanks.dev

Of the models I've seen so far for supporting individuals who create OSS code this one stands out by highlighting dependencies. Likely the solution is a blend of things... a commission type system for rare engineers and skills (i.e. https://words.filippo.io/pay-maintainers/ ) and thanks.dev for the long-tail of those who have done things and you want to use it long-term. There are also companies who create OSS software, and if you value their work and don't want what they produce to go behind Enterprise differentiation then perhaps pay for their services too.
Not a lot yet. Most of the batteries produced are still being used. A decade ago there barely were any EVs on the road. Production volumes at Tesla were in the thousands per year, not per week. Most of those cars are still driving fine. And by now, most manufacturers give eight year warranties on their batteries and drive trains. Meaning, they don't expect them to start failing until long after that date.

You are thinking about this wrong. The value of the lithium inside those cars is higher than a lot of second hand ICE cars. There can be tens of kilos of lithium in a typical EV. The price of lithium is about 30-40$/kilo currently. That could come down. But it's way more valuable than iron, lead, aluminium, etc.
Ah, I missed that blog post. Seems like only a matter of time until this is fully integrated.
A big working ball of mud is still better than a big ball of gold, that doesn’t do what it is supposed to do.

The thing you can do to prevent it: continuous refactoring. It’s better to ship features on time and clean up afterwards, than cleaning up a lot before and never ship things.
I wonder if this is why it’s recommended to put the lime in the coconut, and then you drink 'em both together,

some people say to they put the lime in the coconut, then then they feel better.

Slightly related, I lived in the 3rd world with coconuts for a while growing up. Coconut water from a roadside stand practically put me in the hospital. I wish they had put the lime in the coconut.

Also line with mangoes is wonderful.

Yes and no.

A lot of projects in Apache control started as one (big) company project, got open sourced then move to Apache, in order to allow collaboration with a "community" without as much conflict of interest.

But then the original sponsor also usually lose interest and/or no community get creates. Hence, graveyard.

Or it got opensource as last ditch try to keep it running after the sponsor stopped wanting it. And then it is usually a graveyard move.

It is not that Apache kills them. It is that they were already dead and Apache is the place that take them in to accompany their demise.
Bitcoin is interesting, and useful, but it isn't a serious replacement for fiat currency. It certainly isn't an investment either, buying it and hoping it increases in value is just Beanie Babies 2.0 but less cute.

I'm happy it exists and it inspires people. I'm not happy that it has turned many people who own it into amoral cryptocoin pushers.

I really don't care if this is a "flex" by PG or not...

The more interesting thing to me, was that it seemed like Elon Musk's reply was either copy-pasted wrong, or truncated, or missed the point or something... He sounds like he's replying to a different comment, one that doesn't ask for a specific reply (which PG did), and his lack of specific example or anything to address the point of providing a specific example, just sounded like he wasn't paying attention... which looks to be progressively more common trend in Elon's behaviour post-twitter acquisition...

I hate this practice of these companies to state "This decision is final", it's insulting and childish when everyone knows that people and especially automated systems make mistakes.

It makes it even worse wenn we all know that if a person has enough clout or gets enough attention it isn't final.

If you are going to say stuff like that, then you should keep your word and when you do make a mistake don't undo that mistake. Live with the bad press you are going to get for being the assholes you are.
My favorite part of the response he got is "there's not much more we can do on our end." Coming from the same company that did the suspension. Among things they could do:

* Have another team review the complaint

* Be more transparent as to the "offense"

* Have an appeals process other than direct messages

* Click the button to unsuspend the account, since they run the software

* Give him a phone number to call to talk with a real person

You can do a logout via redirect though. So you have to call SignOutAsync on the oidc scheme, and then the user will get redirected to a logout page.

Need to enable SaveTokens in session though, because you need the logout token for that.

If you have any issues, please ask and I will post some (short!) code snippets here :)

Ps: I also love f#, but I concluded that it’s not worth using it for asp.net. There are just too many f# specific things you need to figure out first. Just going with c# is the safer bet. But you can still use f# for your service layer and for tests!

Your post all sounds very good. Have an upvote!

But here's the thing. How does this critical thinking methodology fit in with the strong leftward tilt? I don't know of any successful Marxist societies (forcible or voluntary), so why do critical thinkers think they can get Marxism to work?

Here's a topical example:

https://woodfromeden.substack.com/p/violent-enough-to-stand-...

When the facts don't fit Marxist theory, the researcher gets cancelled.

Here's what I see is the difference between humanities critical thinking, and STEM critical thinking. In STEM, if you design an airplane, and the airplane doesn't fly, no amount of wishful thinking and rhetorical reframing is going to make it fly. The humanities have no such constraint.

For another example, Seattle recently completed a $1 Billion new terminal at Seatac to accommodate new larger planes. After it was finished, they discovered that the airplanes did not fit in the slots for them. There's just no way to spin that one into a success.

> Excuse me, what? There are quite literally ongoing military nuclear reactor incidents at this very moment. The fact that they started decades ago is hardly a consolation.

> This kind of wool-pulling makes it very hard to trust the pro-nuclear crowd. Maybe if we could manage to contain the waste we've already created (or at the very least if pro-nucs would admit we can't), I might have some faith in our ability to contain the waste we make in the future.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site

GP specifically referenced "submarines and aircraft carriers"; Hanford is neither.

There is a cleanup at Hanford, which is understandable for one of the earliest reactors. I think calling it "ongoing military nuclear reactor incidents" is misleading, since it was the normal operation.

Again, GP:

"We've learned so much since the mid-20th century."

Nothing is going to be perfect. All the data I've seen is that nuclear power is safer and has fewer casualties. Picking one of the earliest sites from 70 years ago ignores everything since, as well as comparison to fatalities due to other forms of power generation.

To paraphrase you, "This kind of wool-pulling makes it very hard to trust the _anti_-nuclear crowd."

I haven't tried it in my garden but it does seem to have downsides as a system. I'm not all that excited to try it.
Disagree. Engineering skills are better than they have ever been, and tools are better. What management has figured out is that governments have more to lose. Do you want a multi-year lawsuit and delay with election season coming, or do you want your bridge built eventually for just a hundred million more?
> I put relativism is scare quotes because Continental philosophy doesn't espouse relativism, but is often accused of it.

Well, Nietzsche himself insists that his "perspectivism" isn't a mere "relativism" or "subjectivism". But, exactly what the difference between the the former and the latter is, is complicated and murky and debatable, and I don't think we should exclude the possibility that counterarguments against the latter may end up succeeding against the former as well.

> But -- and as a reply to the complaints of its obscurantism -- it's also not obvious that arguments in Continental philosophy can be re-expressed in an atomic way without losing its fundamental essence.

I think it is hopeless to read Nietzsche, for example, as presenting some sort of ordered philosophical system, like Aquinas' Summa or Spinoza's Ethics. But, I think, Nietzsche is under-appreciated as a poet. And reading some of his works as poetry and fiction – you can extract some ideas from them which are very amenable to being put in a precise form. For example, eternal recurrence – he may well have not meant it so literally, but there certainly are cosmological theories in which eternal recurrence is entirely literal, and I think one could fruitfully work out the philosophical implications of such a theory using traditional analytic methods

> However, many of these philosophies are ones that criticize reductive, logocentric discourse to begin with!

For me, it really comes down to this – I've read some Nietzsche, and I enjoyed it – even when he's wrong, he's entertaining. I tried reading Derrida – and I gave up. Nietzsche convinced me he had something worthwhile to say; Derrida failed to do so before he ran out of my attention.
I recently had to parse source code of views to produce a mapping between the view columns and the underlying table columns - it basically worked with some caveats and was pretty painful to do (most databases expose this as information schema/metadata but that was not an option for us for various reasons).

For anyone who is knowledgable about Calcite features, is this something that Calcite can produce without having to write a ton of code (which is what my current solution is)? I would find it very satisfying to replace hundreds of lines of bespoke code with a few library calls.

Firebase uses Google Cloud Logging. Taking a quick look at the blog post here, Google Cloud Logging already seems to support everything it describes.

Is there something in it that makes it a better solution in some way than what Google is already providing? (Note that Supabase Logs appears to rely on Google BigQuery so you'll be running on Google either way.)
This is indeed awful. 10.1" is quite large for a tablet, yet not even 1080p.
I'll give you that the term, heck even the field, is fuzzy. I could not give you a good description of either, but that's also true of homological algebra and interpretive dance.

> I could not have guessed any connection there from the actual meanings of those words and it doesn't really convey any information I know how to use.

The word "I" is important here. I could not do anything with this either: "Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g, equipped with a holomorphic differential ω having a non-zero integral over X [..]"

I'm not saying social studies have the same level of rigor and precision, but it's another thing entirely to dismiss a whole field of study just because you couldn't reproduce it in perl.

Some topics just cannot be grasped with tweezers. You just have to try to be precise with the fuzziness and that's not easy.

We need more and cheaper models of EV vehicles on the market. Like there are in other countries. Without this you are correct, as the only cars on the market are only affordable by the wealthy.

Over here we are being told that something simple like stricter fuel emissions standards would cause manufacturers to release many more models of EV cars, and that would include more affordable models as well as driving down the costs (we are paying $36,000 USD for a Nissan Leaf, which is only $28,000 USD in USA and 'as low as $20,000' on their web site). Manufacturers still have a lot of capacity for producing cars they are unable to sell in many places, and Australia is a dumping ground. And manufacturers say it will remain so without incentives. Or perhaps if they are forced by new manufacturers such as ACE or BYD, if they are accepted by the market.
For me it’s more the “there’s not more we can do on our end” language. The fuck you can’t, you implemented the suspension. Don’t go talking like it’s an act of god that you have no control over.

If they’re not willing to change their mind, at least say so.

hey hn, supabase ceo here

this one is a long-time coming and it's a continuation of our acquisition of Logflare[0]. Since the acquisition we've be open-source-ing the server, which you can find here: https://github.com/Logflare/logflare

Logflare handles about 1.5 billion log-events everyday on supabase. It's built with Elixir and has no problems with that workload.

This is really just the start of the Logflare updates. All logs are currently ingested into BigQuery, and we are adding support for Clickhouse and other backends (focusing primarily on open source backend). Over time Logflare will function very much like an open source Sentry alternative, where you can ingest data from various sources.

The team will be around if you have any questions about the technical implementation

I have a really hard time understanding how gravity waves would survive the Big Crunches. Probably my failure to understand comes from how I think of space.

If all matter is re-crunched into a "singularity," then no space remains? Right? Or time either?

Where do these residual gravity waves exist? If the void of nothingness? That seems wrong.

I guess based on the article that the theory proposes that not everything is re-crunched (dubious?) but that some stuff remains in the universe (dead black holes are somehow not re-crunched?), and therefore space and time do not cease to exist between Bangs and Crunches?

I don't know. I just don't really understand, which is fine as I am a brain scientist not a physicist.

If you make dedicated bus lanes and rewrite the traffic laws so that busses have right of way at all intersections, then busses could replace trams (or streetcars). But without these you allow individuals to block the public transport infrastructure which means there's no advantage to the far more space efficient public transport methods.
In real world applications, NTP is accurate to the millisecond, while PTP is accurate to the microsecond.

PTP is often used now in the Telco world as well as for broadcasting applications.
