Gemini is cool but probably just repeating the pattern. If companies and users wanted that, HTML use would have gone a different way.

The truth is that both consumers and producers of even “simple”, “static” content want a lot more than these kinds of solutions offer. We have web fonts, animated gradients, SVG logos, responsive layouts, and the like because people want them. Choosing another tech that lacks them will only result in them all getting added back again.
>What alternatives do you have?

Gemini for pages and if you really need an app, wasm and webgl/webgpu. HTML/CSS/JS can definitely be replaced by better, already existing things, but browsers will still need to understand those for many years going forward, even if everyone suddenly stopped developing with them.
>The result is that I can’t read a paragraph without looking things up.... And hell, you’ve managed to do that yourself. Homology groups? Simplicial complex? This is sounding more and more like botany to me.

I'm sorry but what do you expect from an area of research that hasn't entered the vernacular yet?

Like if I go try to read a blog post on cond-mat theory how many mentions of "loop calculations" and "fermions" and "renormalization group" and "analytic continuation" and blah blah blah. Does it make sense for me to complain that the article doesn't speak to me in my vernacular? No of course not - because even if it's an intro article the expectation is that I'm willing to put in some work. If it's too much work for you, ie if you don't know math, then shrug don't try to understand mathematical things I guess.

>I’m not one for words, but concepts I can handle.

How did you manage to get a PhD in theory then?
“Misplace the blame” just means asking me to accept some responsibility rather than my preferred outgroups.
I've posted on patents twice, very recently:

Inartfully written, I guess, and did not. The lawyers on Reddit hated it, though, so there's that.

Rants on HN change nothing. We have one every month. If you actually want to change the law, court cases will never do it. You need an Act of Congress.
Oh! How weird. Maybe I'm getting the UK gates mixed up with Australia where I'm often travelling to. I do remember looking for a sign and being surprised that I didn't need to take them off recently, but it might have been outbound.

Compromises make relationships wear out. If you land on a compromise where it’s one person giving in rather than both changing their requirements, that one person will always feel like they have been wronged. You only need to a couple of such instances to burn out the strongest affection

years back, some insurers wanted to stop issuing home policies for people near the Santa Cruz Mountains due to fire risk. Dianne Feinstein applied pressure in the Senate and with some concessions, it all went away.

Improving my blog using AI – Part 2 – Images
In both experiments highlighted in the article, they're both given equal status but one side gets explicitly talked about as a natural talent, or being naturally gifted. This is a bonus with zero counterpart or balancing in play and makes sense why people would lean that direction. It's like being offered two shirts, but one of them comes with a candy.

Which is why your hypothetical and the above theory doesn't make much sense. In your case, the coach would be told that one of them is naturally gifted, leading to bias. You're theorizing that visual effort is the reason, but the article goes into some ideas as to why this bias exists (ie: the idea of naturalness being better, religious beliefs, status effects, etc) and visual effort is not one of them. Again, all else is equal, but one side is explicitly told to be naturally talented.
If you look into methane release being tracked by NASA, it looks like it may be causing a lot of the issues: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/methane-super-emitters-mapp...
Some relationships are important, others aren't. It's good to have a framework for keeping the ones that matter lasting. If you treat every relationship you ever have as disposable, eventually you'll just find yourself alone.
Opengl3/es3/webgl2 might as well be the same backend
I think it is less about a server fingerprinting a client and more about one website using broken browser isolation to fingerprint other websites being visited. In the example, they leak whether a pixel is black or white by scaling it to fit the full canvas and then triggering 200-400 renders.

> One common application is the Dot Product , which is a fancy way of taking two N Dimension vectors and measuring how close those vectors point in the same direction in a [1, 1] range.

That's cosine similarity, or normalised dot product. The dot product can take any value when the vectors are not unit norm.

No, the first two commas are extraneous as well.

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/usage-of-essen... :

> Essential clauses modify key words and are important to the main point of a sentence. Nonessential clauses provide superfluous information that, while interesting, does not change the main point of a sentence. Nonessential clauses are offset by punctuation such as commas or parentheses to indicate the clause as an aside.

With the commas, it is a nonessential clause, which means the meaning should stay the same if it is removed. And that would turn the sentence into this:

> Monotype fonts carry the name affix "1450".

But that isn't the meaning of the sentence. It's not true that Monotype fonts (all of them, in general) have "1450" in their names. Only the ones that follow the recommendation do.

Huh, that is a very interesting problem to have. It's certainly not the scale or complexity or security or reliability requirements that make storing your data difficult -- it's the choice of hosting technology!

That sounds dismissive but I don't mean it that way. I'm sure you've chosen wisely. I just find the problem intriguing because I don't know of any obvious solution and it's not one of the common problems people have with persistence.

I'm trying to think of what sort of stateful servers you might be using anyway that you can piggyback for this. Some ideas:

- SSH to any Unix box really

- Email

- Web-based pastebin service with an API

- Regular Twitter tweets

- Something stored on whatever you are using to conduct the deployment

- An image uploaded to imgur where the image data are the string you need

- DNS records

- Any web service where you have a user profile editable through an API you could use one of the profile fields to store the string

The list is getting more stupid as I go so I should probably stop there.

But if you have written the service such that you can reject a deployment unless you're sure it worked, you are technically free to use quite stupid ways to store the data because worst case the deployment just fails and the old code chugs on.
Wait, no. That's the worst world. The state will simply pour taxpayer money into this and people will keep extracting it and throwing into a literal fire.

Please God no. I already lose more than I get to the government in taxes on every marginal dollar I make.

Emacs lisp is a terrible lisp dialect. If it wasn't for Emacs' popularity it would have died decades ago. This is just one example in a long line of examples where nobody willingly implements Emacs lisp. Even in Emacs there is pressure to move towards Common Lisp.

Emacs lisp has, as far as I can tell, no advantages. It isn't especially good at text editing. It introduces differences from more popular lisp dialects. Anything it offers could be a library in some other lisp.

Clojure on the other hand, has a couple of nice syntax innovations and smooth default data structures.
I don't know anything about this particular case, but about these systems in general.
They can work without any operator or network connection. They verify that you have a valid passport and that the taken image (face) matches the one stored in your passport.
But for modern passports they use Extended Access Control which requires up to date terminal certificates to access the data (you have to update them in the range of days) und you can give these systems revocation lists and lists of unwanted persons. If any of this is not updated, they stop working.

From a scar model perspective this is like a papercut/superficial injury which isn’t leaving you with a scar (or at least a very minor one).

> they don’t actually matter if the core stuff is still working.

Being stabbed in the heart (literally and metaphorically) will leave bigger and deeper scars that can impair core function and your heart will never pump blood as effectively again.
That’s why letting yourself/significant other sleep still angry after an argument is not such a great idea. Resolve it before sleeping or it gets swept under the rug, or as he said, adds one scar tissue, as nobody will bring it back up next morning. It will be remembered when it happens again next time
I think you could've kept the section on "basic recursion" short, keeping the focus on complex cases.

I.e. removing any definition other than normal & tail recursion, and shortening the "tree structure of regression" bit into 1 paragraph.

Most people do understand basic recursion and the function call tree, but fail to grasp it in nontrivial scenarios
It's absolutely dubious. A few of my colleagues use it. They still get out performed. Actually makes their results worse in some cases...

> CSS is not hard.

CSS is more difficult than C++
It might be different for the UK, but as others have said ccTLDs in my experience are much preferred over .com. .com is basically used for generic US multinational companies, which means a handful of websites you care about but locally relevant sites are going to be .fr or .be for me.

.fr and .be are as easy to manage as any other TLD, and they have the advantage that you're probably not going to be price gouged as they are not run for profit.
I'm a little confused after looking at your website. You're expecting someone to give you their personal data, there's no pricing information, there's no way to get their data back, and since they don't know anything about you, there's no restriction on what might be happening to their data. What I've written may or may not be true, but I'd expect anyone looking at the landing page to want those things to be addressed. You might have more luck if you offer a self-hosted version that folks can run themselves, and then once they trust you and decide they don't want the admin burden, they can pay you.

Disclaimer: I'm not your target audience, but I've investigated a lot of these services for my own things, and these are my feelings after an initial look at your website. I'd honestly not return for a second look under normal conditions.
What’s up with Cloud Computing lately?
Surprised no one has said Cloudflare Pages. Might not work though depending on your requirements since there’s a max of 20,000 files of no more than 25 mb per project. But if you can fit under that, it’s basically free. If your requirements let you break it up by domain, you can split your data across multiple projects too. Latency is amazing too since all the data is on their CDN.
Different time scale, and different form of emissions. Most of animal agriculture consider methane that are produced by cows eating grass that has grown by taking out co2 from the air. They are just as green as biofuel is green.

Climate change is primary caused by humans burning fossil fuels, and humans extracting fossil fuels to be used in chemical processes like artificial fertilizers. In the short term it might be beneficial to reduce the number of animals that eat plants that has sequestrate carbon from the air, but in every case it would be worse if we humans use fossil fuel to burn the same plants.

Some people has argued that in the very short term, reducing methane while increasing emissions of fossil fuel emissions could beneficial be a better strategy if we can know for sure that carbon capture will save us in the future. I am doubtful to that strategy.

It should be noted that methane leaks from fossil fuel industry is larger than that from cows. A primary source of those methane leaks are the production of artificial fertilizers, but of course all steps between extracting natural gas to producing the fertilizers has large amount of emissions and leaks.
This is pretty much exactly the problem that we originally created https://jmp.chat to solve, no sip or complex setup needed these days for that use case.

Firstly, that's a lot of addicts. I was also unable to find what study they were citing on mobile, but I am extremely skeptical. In my city (Philly) we have a population of homeless heroin addicts larger than most towns in the US. Those that aren't in that cluster are generally mentally ill. At the very least, the homeless who are not mentally ill or addicts aren't the ones disrupting our lives, and they are not the cause of the problems we're talking about.

This video is from two weeks ago (you can find many more like it): https://youtu.be/ipivYAHEoIM . It doesn't come close to capturing the scale of the neighborhood's blight but gives you an idea. The transient addicted population and people with extreme mental illnesses in Philly have been increasing in number and spread throughout the city though.

Which media, which state? For decades certain media and certain public officials have been lying about climate change while raking in money from companies with a vested interest in those lies. There is quite a lot of media which drives viewership by insisting that "the media" and "the government" is lying to them. And they're not always wrong, but they're always politically motivated.
On the flip side, when you have a partner that brings up issues almost every night before going to bed, that gets old too.

Umm the millions of people that are employed by/earn their living from video game companies, movie and tv, magazines and newspapers, publishing houses, and musing labels. Not to mention all the royalties paid to individual artists etc. (I.e. ~$36b in US book sales, assume a ~15% royalty is ~$6b paid to creators).

And yes plenty of people try unsuccessfully to make a career from their art or just do it for fun as a hobby.

With an expressive enough type system you could also leverage the Typestate Pattern. This would have the further advantage of not only taking care of the final step but also the intermediate ones.

For example in the first example from the article calling xml.attribute doesn't make sense without a prior xml.begin_element.

By using the Typestate Pattern the compiler would ensure that you can only call xml.attribute after a xml.begin_element. Of course all of this only works in cases where the order of steps is fixed at compile time.

EDIT: Please read chrismorgan's comment why, at least in Rust, this does unfortunately not really solve the "Obvious Final Step" problem.

> routine house expenses (got a 25 year old roof? why patch it when you can get a roofer to tell your insurance that you have wind damage and get a whole new roof!).

25-30 years is about the lifespan of a shingled roof depending on climate.

I agree it’s routine maintenance. It’s also 10k-20k in some areas. I much prefer insurance being used for a large issue vs using it to have a tree removed because it was hit by lightening 1-3k.
Your conversation history in a thread is the entire prompt for each new question you ask. When you log in, you can see all of your prior conversations. So, yes.
I'm trying to imagine an example of the authors primary use case: "a complicated data retrieval, sending lots of data but not changing the server state". Is he imagine sending something like a SQL statement SELECT with multiple WHERE and JOIN clauses using a recursive CTE?

If defining the attributes of the thing to return takes that much complexity, maybe that's a sign the endpoint is poorly designed, rather than GET query string length being insufficiently large.
Don’t worry, every decade or so there’s a good reason for Congress to rescue the states from their foolish fiscal decisions (see also: public employee pensions).

Somehow, though, the “bailout” boogeyman is never called out for the states, even though they got hundreds of billions of essentially no-strings-attached “Covid relief” dollars from the Feds.

I think we have a scientific legitimacy issue that is still ongoing.

For example, there has been no "mea culpa" around massive problems such as:

The Ozone Hole being discarded initially as erroneous data

The US Historical Climate Network flawed sites permitted to enter the climate record

The mismatch between highly accurate space based temperature sensors, and US HCN

The hiding of warm periods, and the Younger Dryas, convenient dating, hiding the glaciation and deglaciation trends by academic meteorologists for funding/political reasons

Intentionally discounting Solar Radiance and Albedo

Permitting weather sensors (ASOS) on US runways to enter the weather record - how'd you like a weather report manipulated by prop blast or jet wash?

It is the very Cathedral establishment that has approached these issues as "Science the Religion shall not be questioned", instead of science as a process that needs to be continually refined via tight feedback loops. Critics, skeptics, and nay-saying scientists are heretics - prepare them for auto-da-fé

I believe in science as a process, not a religion.
I see it as more important to realize that not all questions are well formed enough to have a right solution.

A test question like "6 / 2 (1 + 2) = ?" is not asking for the mathematical meaning of those symbols it is asking for "Guess what I as thinking when I wrote this".

This pseudoscientific ‘AI’ will bring nothing good to the diversity of thought and fairness, that’s for sure.
This highlights subtly different thinking processes in the security industry. Real world adversaries think "this is an interesting asset, how can we get to it, with our available primitives?" whereas academic researchers think "this is an interesting primitive, what kind of assets would make the paper work?".
You don't need to get in 80%+ optimization in the slightest in factorio. The jankiest factory in the normal difficulty settings in the end will get there just fine.

But in vanilla yeah, if you don't enjoy optimization for sake of optimization and building bigger there is not that much more to do once you played it once or twice.

There are few more directed mod/modpack experiences to play, but they generally also add complexity to the build and not everyone enjoy figuring out complex builds for that.
I expect you would need a spectrum license for that :)
