I hit an unexplained error while migrating, and the error page told me to go to https://help.mojang.com/ which has an expired TLS cert as of today.

Then I tried to submit a support ticket here: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new?ticket_form_...

But when you click "Submit", nothing happens. I can see that their CORS config is broken and doesn't allow requests to zendesk's API.

I did eventually get my migration to go through. The trick was to enter my security question answers and click the button (where nothing happens, also a bug). Then close the tab and re-open it (control + shift + t).

I doubt Minecraft's sales are going to drop any time soon. And also, given that Microsoft owns it now, we might never see this anyway. Still something that we can look forward too, though.

This is a large, expensive structure, proving my point. You can't just wear more free animal skins and be fine.

> Point is that way more people die from cold than from heat.

That is the point in Montreal, but that is not the point in Vietnam. Their climate is precariously hot already (with high wet bulb temperatures, unlike in Iran), so a small imbalance in the upper extremes can kill a lot of poor people who don't have access to A/C. That should be no problem in 30 years if they are allowed to migrate to cooler countries, but the conservatives inside those colder countries have and will effectively ban that possibility for the large majority of them due to xenophobic attitudes. It's a rather disgusting situation given that these are the same people that lobbied for the pro-fossil fuel policies that will have put these people in the hot Global South in that predicament to begin with.

> tinkerers and not anybody serious

Counterpoint: tinkerers have a lot of overlap with the "serious" users for many CLI apps. People who want no-frills functionality. People who want things to run over N-deep nested SSH hops. Y'know, "unix-y" people (:

I use things like ncdu and vim on remote non-graphical systems all the time, for instance.

Though I do agree that non-interactive is the primary use-case for most CLI stuff.

I’m sure many of you have tried generating epic conversations from history. With work and luck, I’ve read stuff way better than college.

But 90% of the time, it’s two barely distinct personalities chatting back and forth:

Me: Hey brian, what do you think of AI?

Brian: It’s great!

Me: I’m so glad we agree.

Brian: Great, this increases the training weight of Brian agreeing with Brian to a much more accurate level!

Me: Agree!
I think your point is a good one, there's some arrogance in assuming our short observations can be extrapolated forward, yet pointing this out is frowned upon.

My guess is people fear inaction on climate change, so they are comfortable with working on incomplete information, and willing to pretend (consciously or not) that climate is well understood.

Also For example, the Soviet Union forced Eastern European countries to sell their natural resources, such as coal, timber, and minerals, to the USSR at below-market prices. The Soviet Union also imposed production quotas on these countries, requiring them to produce certain goods and send them to the USSR. The Soviet Union often used military force to maintain control over Eastern Europe and ensure compliance with these economic policies.

Additionally, the Soviet Union controlled the banking systems and foreign trade of Eastern European countries, making it difficult for them to trade with other countries and develop their own economies. The Soviet Union also used Eastern Europe as a market for its own goods, flooding these countries with cheap Soviet-made products that undercut local industries and businesses.
For people who aren't tech-savvy that is pretty much correct though.

That's one of the crazier political rabbit holes to go down. There are reasonable and/or reasonable-sounding arguments for pretty much every position and those arguments have been rehashed in every imaginable way for decades and decades. Online there's probably tens of gigabytes of debate between "hard money" advocates and "fiat" or inflationary currency advocates.

After seeing endless debates between various schools of economics for decades, in the end I've come to the conclusion that nobody really knows what they're talking about.

A big problem is that history is an experiment with no replications, no controls, and no good way to tie complex causes to complex effects. "What would the past 100 years have looked like had we kept the dollar pegged to gold?" We don't know and we'll never know. All you can do is tell just-so stories. Did having an inflationary currency help us achieve the remarkable growth of the past hundred years? We can't know that either. For all we know all that growth was due to demographics and technology and would have happened regardless of the monetary system.

I wonder if maybe it doesn't matter that much, and so in that sense both sides are wrong. Maybe the real basis of the economy is the real economy (people, capital, resources, technology) and what you use to price it is secondary. So as long as your monetary system avoids extreme failure modes like hyperinflation or extreme deflationary collapse, the system will just adapt to whatever monetary base it's given and price signals will do their job.

Search query expansion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_expansion

We've done this in NLP and search forever. I guess even SQL query planners and other things that automatically rewrite queries might count.

Irrespective of whether Julia ends up the winner of the shift or if the shift happens, it is quite possible for trends to reverse very fast. See Perl or Objective-C for that matter.

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/perl/

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/objective-C/

In 2006 (for Perl) and 2014 (for Objective-C) it was clear they had the momentum for their particular space however their limitations were well known and as soon as a better language came along the momentum flipped in an equally dramatic manner. Python is much more widespread so it will remain strong in some areas but you could see the flip in ML/DS given challenges productionizing across broad capabilities (not just doing NN's).

As the joke goes -- python is the second best language for everything, if you know only two languages. With ML expanding beyond narrow big tech domains there will be need for specialized languages like Julia (and others perhaps like Mojo etc..)

Individual silicon atoms in a crystal are around 0.2nm apart.

So no, you don't get drill bits that are 1-2 atoms wide.

Also it would take a long time to "drill" a useful number of holes if you do it one by one.

Use X-ray lithography maybe? The wavelength can be short enough and it might be more feasible to do in bulk.

A "right" is entirely theoretical unless there is a way to ensure it is reflected in reality.

Not a great example. This guy has a severe neurological illness (although to be clear, I don’t think it’s a mental illness affecting his decision making capabilities). The hospital has said he can stay in the hospital, die, or get care at home.

It seems he wants to get care at home at his with the government money spent at his discretion. And they won’t let him do that. So he is suing them for offering death.

The hospital care at home might be shit. But that’s tangential to the issue.
Is coax still popular in the US (and presumably in other countries)? Over here in the UK I don’t think I’ve seen it used for 10 or so years now as terrestrial TV antennas have fallen out of use. Genuine question as I never even considered it as used for anything other than A/V so TIL.
My use case is specific, but a week with an e-car just taught me that I need to wait another decade for them to either mature, both as cars and an ecosystem, or be replaced by the next great thing, likely a hybrid approach.

There are clearly serious concerns about the UK heading into an authoritarian state. The right to protest has been so seriously curtailed that even innocent people who aren't protesting can end up arrested and detained for hours.

Gotta hand it to the US and their Constitution, it definitely does a better (though maybe not perfect) job protecting citizens from government over-reach.

"I would go into this assuming that either there is something else on the page with that path (or an errant javascript request)."

There is no JavaScript present. I'm 100% certain this behavior is intentional. I've responded to the unexpected behavior (which originally caused my application to crash under those circumstances) by yielding resource generators in the specified order which ultimately upgraded the connection to HTTP/3. I can repeat that behavior, log the same path, and get a new result. I don't know what else to say about it.

"But, again, HTTP/3 does not chain together requests as a single path in the way that you described."

I wonder if that path might be how the HTTP3 request gets translated to the WSGI app. Basically... something between the Cloudflare tunnel and my WSGI app.

"Also, I'm writing a HTTP server at the moment, so I'm pretty familiar with the protocols."

FTA:

The judge in the case ruled that Corellium’s creation of virtual iPhones was not a copyright violation, in part because it was designed to help improve the security for all iPhone users. Corellium wasn’t creating a competing product for consumers. Rather, it was a research tool for a comparatively small number of customers.

Judge Rodney Smith called Apple’s argument on those claims “Puzzling, if not disingenuous.” Smith found that Corellium used a vetting process before selling its products to customers.

Everything old is new again. Back in the Windows 95 days, there were a handful of freeware games that played with no window and entirely by displaying a changing icon in the system tray.

Patiently waiting to see what WWDC brings.

I’m as of yet unconvinced that gaming isn’t the killer app VR has. The “work and communicate in your VR headset” vision from Meta I’m suspicious of, but Apple could do cheap casual gaming (beat saber et al.), fitness (beat saber with a fitness skin), and media consumption (big screen) really well, and they have all the services to funnel people towards for those use cases.

Gaming and media consomption are just so fun in VR where literally everything else is either annoying at best or painful at worst in my experience. Apple could just play in those very obvious bounds and make something worth while.
> Depends on a lot of things, but getting the card reissued with a new number wouldn't.

Reporting it lost and getting the card reissued with a new number doesn't solve the problem anymore. Banks and card issuers are starting to share information with services that report updated card numbers to recurrent billers like the Wall Street Journal.

These started popping up around the time every business model became subscription-based. When you want to capture anything, block all the exits first.

I wonder if Casio's heart rate sensing is far more power hungry than Garmin's, or is it just that Casio undersized the battery because they could make a lower baseline power draw than Garmin manages. Garmins with MIP LCD screens are more comparable to the Casio line, and they have longer battery life than the OLED models.

Many such Garmins can last for weeks with constant health tracking via wrist heart rate and accelerometer. It is mostly location tracking which increases discharge, e.g. ~5% per day health tracking and ~5% per hour GPS tracking. The heart rate sensor might just use ~1% per day for 24x7 usage.

Though I don't think this reflects the rank of overall importance to settlement-free transit, since a single settlement-free agreement with AT&T or Deutsche Telekom or China Telecom, etc., would be worth more then hundreds of agreements with smaller regional players.

Probably the importance of IXPs also follow a power-law distribution, with the top 100 exchanges combined seeing more traffic then the next 1000 combined.

Your project looks really interesting. I've been looking into many different "plugin" architecture options (mainly with the goal to run untrusted js/ts code) and your extended readme sounds interesting.

But i can tell it's early so i'm not fully seeing how this would be used (like an example folder).

- I too have tried to think of how plugins could be "full-stack" with both sandboxing on BE & FE via iframe but i'm not seeing in your repo the code that handles the FE sandboxing? (I could be totally looking in the wrong place)

- I looked into using wasm "containers" as well- does your architecture have a scalable way to optimize "cold boot" of a container for near-instant run/render?

Again, cool project and good luck! I think there's so much room for innovation in this area of making micro-functionality truly portable & composable!
+1 in my experience most people that criticize scrum simply have a bad experience with a half baked implementation of scrum.

If it's implemented well it's fantastic. You get to focus on the important stuff during the sprint. Issues tend to get caught early on because experienced team members chime in during planning poker. The whole team takes responsibility for the sprint together. This leads to lots of knowledge sharing and collaboration within the team.

Once the team velocity is predictable it also becomes much easier to ask for x amount of time per week for refactoring work as the impact to project timelines can be easily quantified.

Trying to do the same with mathematical objects rather than language objects would be even harder because GPT doesn't "know" math.
