It's not that it's not 100% black and white. The line basically does not exist.

I think we can stretch the meaning here; after all, a pantheon is a group of important people, and pollinating seems like an important job :) I think pandemonium usually has a negative connotation, but it's also good.

too late to edit, but what I meant was "so-ball" (as opposed to "ko-ball")

I thought I knew almost all the differences between US & UK English, but this would be a new one on me, if true.
I think you might be misunderstanding what I meant by "at minimum". I'm talking about the case of replacing a [] constant in some arbitrary piece of code with something like [1..10000]. Given strict semantics you'll of course incur at least the time and space costs associated with constructing the list (that's the "at minimum" bit), but you might also incur additional costs depending on what the rest of the code does with the list. For example, it might execute some arbitrarily expensive computation if the list has more than 20 elements, or whatever.

I think you might have thought I was saying that given a strict semantics it was somehow still possible that you wouldn't necessarily incur the full time and space penalty for constructing n elements (which of course is not the case).
I've had this idea for a while: make an FPGA capable of executing WASM bytecode, then offloading WASM execution to the FPGA. Sounds like a fun project to learn FPGA and how to make a CPU.

Sorta off topic, but I wonder if a CPU with WASM bytecode as its native instruction set could be more performant / power-efficient than JIT-ing WASM code to ARM/x86 assembly. My understanding is that modern processors comes with a wide range of optimization tricks like register renaming, out-of-order, superscalar, ... such that it's probably just easier to JIT WASM bytecode to the native instruction set, so we'd get those optimizations for free, as opposed to design your own WASM CPU with those same optimizations.
I couldn't find any evidence of Posidonia using crustaceans for pollination, so it seems they just use the sea current, similar to wind pollination over water. However, underwater animal pollination does exist in some seagrasses, namely by help of marine worms:

Another bit about Posidonia:

Not surprising given that the Westfield was in decline prior to the pandemic. When the Apple Store moved up to Union Square it seemed to shift foot traffic patterns so that there wasn't any real reason to cross Market Street to go into the Westfield unless there was something specific you wanted.

When most of the restaurants on the upper floor closed then it gave even less of a reason to go there. Last time I passed through the Westfield at the very beginning of 2020 the entire upper floor was practically empty.

LA had a similar problem with the Westside Pavilion, which has been closed pending redevelopment for years. The trigger for that closure was Nordstrom moving to the Century City mall. Will be interesting to see if the Westfield can pull itself out of the spiral its in.
Lol. If something does happen Google will immediately and repeatedly remind you with every communication that they have no liability. Once your account gets flagged or locked, Google adds the following to damn near every email:

“We have concluded the review of the information you’ve submitted. To prevent possible fraud and abuse, your services will remain suspended. It is our policy to not discuss the specific reasons for these suspensions.

Note that in the Google <PRODUCT> Terms of Service, we reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our services at any time, including availability of a service or any feature, without notice and without liability. We also reserve the right to impose limits on certain Service features or restrict access to some or all of the Services without notice and without liability.”
That's perpetual motion machines, not perpetual motion. As a closed system, the universe (as a whole, not in parts) absolutely qualifies as being in perpetual motion, you just can't take energy out of the system.

(which is convenient for us, because we're part of the system)
Right. But I would (edit: not) say that is a flaw with this study. Just something else we can try and rule out.

That is, if you did manage to "double blind" it and got no difference in treatments, that means we don't understand the mechanism in this study. It does not, necessarily, mean that there are no results in this study. RIght?
I keep hearing a lot of talk about Passkeys, but I haven't yet seen any web site, service, platform, or cloud where I could actually use one.

Has anyone used these in the field for a major, popular site or product? What was it?

More importantly: What if I have a Windows laptop and an iPhone? Can I transfer a Passkey from my "only Apple device" to something else as a backup, or will these be locked to one vendor?
Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for a mask with eye cups but couldn't find anything decent on Amazon.

This seems to be referring to it[0]:

“During the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (UDABC) relaxed enforcement of Utah's alcohol laws. This led to the passing of less restrictive laws effected in May 2003. This came after complaints, particularly after an incident in which an International Olympic Committee official complained.”

vodkas and rum. in the recentish boon in craft whiskey makers, they seem to all come out with a vodka and/or rum. makes sense though seeing as your first real whiskey product is going to be in a barrel for 8 years. i could see lots of investors wanting some sort of return before then, so faster liquors are made in the mean time.

This is a stunning achievement from a technical point of view. Bravo! Is there any company that still owns the intellectual property of Lotus (and care about stuff like this)?

I always liked Lotus 1-2-3. It was the first spreadsheet I ever used and it was quite useful. The biggest downside from the pre-graphical versions was charting/graphs and printing. However, for run-of-the-mill spreadsheet usage it was quite nice. I might have to give this a spin.

edit: Did give it a spin and I now have it running on Debian. Impressive!
Somehow I doubt one of the essays in this book is about how to write female characters in a way that isn’t creepy, and reductively sexual.

Murakami’s writing is undeniably creative and interesting, but the way he writes women undermines the whole thing and I find it weird he gets a pass for that so much.

The bios represent identity.

The mind provides authority.

Use both!

But don't mix them up. The mind is more secure than the body because information cannot be forcefully extracted from the mind. Yet.

I think a better solution for authentication is a combination of a cryptographic key or seed and a passphrase held in the mind. Keys could be provided by an NFC ring or smartwatch, which should be more difficult to lose or have stolen than a phone.

Bitcoin has a nice solution for cryptographic keys with BIP-32/BIP-39. You use a single master key to deterministically generate all others via a HKDF. The single master key is produced from a 12/24-word phrase plus an optional passphrase.

A good opsec for bitcoin is to have several copies of a phrase (which can be etched into stainless steel), so there is no single point of failure if lost/stolen, and you can use several passphrases for different wallets, which you don't write down anywhere.

You can use a word phrase with no passphrase in a "decoy" wallet and monitor on-chain if any bitcoin are spent in it. This would alert you that your seed phrase has been compromised but would not compromise your passphrased wallets.

To replicate this kind of decoy with passwords, you could store a login for some service which emails you if anybody logs in.

The decoy method also provides plausible deniability. There is no way to prove that there exists any other keyrings with other passphrases, and there is also no way to prove that you have provided every possible passphrase, even if you have provided all of the ones you do use.
Utah actually has a rolled out Mobile ID program where you can choose which data to share, including just if you’re over 18 or 21. It can be validated via Utah’s public mID certificate.

Easiest solution would be to implement that on sites requiring a DOB. Maybe then more than a miserable 24K of people would have them.

The placebo effect is really powerful. When you see a study like this, one of your first questions should be "how can I tell whether or not this is just placebo?"
I once thought it would make more sense to have a calendar of 9 months of 8 weeks with 5 days per week (or 5wks * 8days) with a 5 day 'solstice period' at the end/beginning of every year (6 days every 4th year).

I guess because historically (before computers) passwords were often shared. Even now a password doesn’t technically need to be private.
What dependence on specifically ground-drilled fossil fuels are there in alternative energy? Aside from the fact that current grid powering the construction/manufacturing of it is currently still a lot of coal / gas turbine.

As in, I get there are current dependencies, but what is it fundamentally about the wind turbine's parts is beholden to ground-extracted oil? Plastics/fiberglass (should be replaceable)? The electric dynamo because of needed heat in metallurgy/refining?

For solar (silicon solar cells specifically), again, what is it beholden to? Silicon? Etching chemicals?

I can see oil still being used for lots of industrial processes (and plastic production), but ... EVs are going to drop a massive amount of demand for them. And while plastics suck for lots of reasons, fundamentally plastic is fossil fuel carbon that has been sequestered in a durable long-lived form.

I'll check it out, but again I wonder if the dependence is due to someone "growing up" ensconced in a petroleum world not realizing the full path forward that will eliminate so much of it, particularly the massive scale of burn-into-CO2 part.
Medium? Should be called low

This app started from our retro programming study group[1] where we're going through the 1992 book "Macintosh C Programming Primer" (come jump in anytime!). Some of us are using real machines (we collect them, also I'm working with SCSI so I need real hardware) or you can grab a premade image and start coding. There's also gcc cross compiler Retro68[2] where you can develop on a modern machine.

If the reason is that it is objectionable you are right but if there is that it is harmful, even to adults, that is debatable and they can settle that in court. Keep in mind there is a big difference between banning porn and banning nudity, the later is a form of expression but the former is nudity used for sexual gratification. If what is restricted is the message or meaning then it is a 1st amendment violation, if the state can prove that its laws only prohibit porn that isn't part of artistic or other speech (e.g.: the sarah palin parody porn not included) I don't see how that is speech. If you follow the reasonable person standard, would a reasonable person find the content to contain any message other than "here is sexual content, enjoy" then I agree that it is speech. I mean, all porn makers probably have to do is display some political message at the begining of the video anyways.
Quite possibly, but I suspect there are good reasons why the existing runtime is strict.

In any case, regardless of the underlying motivation, it is certainly an interesting fact that one of the largest commercial Haskell(ish) codebases uses a strict variant of the language.
> I think most of our issue is that the technical details still matter enough that we can't afford to provide a universal human interface layer

I don't think this is true for the majority of native apps I run. I think a lot of developers think they need low-level control over exactly what pixels on the screen turn what colors, but I don't think most apps are in that category. Devs that use the GPU a lot are just used to working that way.

There are cases where that kind of access is needed. I use WebGL right now, I will use WebGPU when it comes out. But how much of your desktop software genuinely, legitimately could not be described using a pure-text tree? Maybe Blender? Even an app like Krita really only needs precise control over pixels for the actual drawing part.

It's mostly games and very experimental apps and visual content creation tools. Everything else is at most "we need a buffer rendered via the GPU embedded in this interface for one thing".

My take on this is: if your app works with a screenreader, that app is probably representable via some kind of universal interface. And the advantages to having a layer like that on native platforms would be profound. People talk about how great the terminal is, imagine if you could do everything you can do on the terminal -- piping output between programs, scraping content, building wrappers around interfaces, easy remote access, etc -- imagine if you could do all of that for all of the GUI apps on your computer too.

What we would lose in developer flexibility to define an initial interface we would make up for ten-fold with the additional flexibility developers and users would have to build around existing interfaces and to extend them.

> A lot of the "web frontend churn" meme is derived from the quest for a slightly better compromise

I'm also not sure this is entirely true. Yes, performance is a thing people talk about but systems like React came out of developers wanting a declarative model for building interfaces. In many ways it was going the opposite direction of canvas/webGL code. A lot of other libraries are similar -- you look at something like d3, that's not really about how things get drawn on the screen, what makes it special is data bindings.

Debates about the virtual DOM are kind of a small subset of the churn that we see online, and my impression is that the churn is pushed more by people debating how to build interfaces in the first place and how to further abstract that process, not how this stuff should get rendered to the screen.

We can have a high diversity of tools for building interfaces, what makes the DOM special is that it's universal render target. Whatever tool you use, the user gets the same semantics. And the DOM isn't necessarily a good universal render target. But it's kind of telling that even though the DOM has a ton of issues, the underlying philosophy of "you should have to describe what you want to put on the screen using text first and then we'll let you style it" is itself really empowering for end-users.

That is an aspect of alleged price fixing for consumer products I never got.

It's trivial for every large retail store to just send someone to look at their competitor's prices and price at the same mark.

This is not feasible to do for B2B only products, such as bulk LCD panels, so it's a lot easier to prove pre-arranged price-fixing.
