> The cool thing about the US is that it's a democracy. If you feel so strongly about this, make this case to the government.

First of all, the question is not whether you’re able to complain about problems. The question is whether popular demand can actually affect change. All sorts of political systems allow you to complain. In fact, there is an argument that a one party system needs to be more responsive to popular demands, since there is no alternative but revolution. In a two party system, one party might listen to your National Park website complaints (and do nothing) and the other party wants to pave over and privatize the Grand Canyon. Hell of a choice, huh?

Further, even if your complaints are heard, it’s an extremely idealized version of how politics works in the US. The reality is there are innumerable examples of monied interests being preferred to popular consensus. And in this case there is a very specific monied interest involved in the corruption. Their only mistake is that they (hopefully) broke the law in the process.

The Netherlands has basically the highest long-term private:public building rate in Europe. Uk is second. Other Western European countries have publicly built units as a higher proportion, so it feels it ought to be possible for the Netherlands government to build more public housing. Doubt it’s necessary though. I expect there might be some kind of public-private middle ground that gets classified differently in NL, but that’s a guess.

[offtopic] Could you share what tool you used to generate the demo gif/video? Very nicely done!
Hm, maybe my terminology is not quite right; let me try again:

With float32, if I want to do some "small-scale" math with a clump of numbers near 1 trillion, I will have a bad time. I can't even add 1 to them, reliably. Might get x+1==x, and soforth.

But If I instead transform my space down to something near 1 (say, subtracting 1 trillion from everything), then I have available the fine-grained results of that math.

It's true that when it gets transformed back to "origin = 1trillion", that detail will be lost, but during the time I'm doing those intermediate calculations, the error is staying small in absolute value.

So, probably "precision" was the wrong word to use. Maybe relative vs. absolute error?

Compare that to fixed-point, where it doesn't matter where the cluster of numbers is, as long as things stay representable (which can indeed be a problem). You'll get the same absolute error either way.

Hopefully that makes sense; my grasp of the specific terms, etc is a little tenuous at times (:
Pet peeve. Colloquially people call it, the Byzantine empire, or Byzantium but this is an error. It was always the Roman empire. a German historian in 1500s popularized by Louis XIV library retold the story of the Roman empire, as having broken up into the eastern and western Roman Empire, but in reality, the western and eastern empire never did officially split.

The German goths conquered Italy but chose to remain part of the Roman empire. The Roman emperor at the time was a child. The Goths sent him the the purple cape, purple being a color of kings.

The Roman historian who retold the story in the 16th century told it after the conquest of Constantinople. This retelling made it seem that the Roman Empire was succeeded by the German Goths, as the Holy Roman Empire. Either he did to throw shade at the Ottoman Empire as not being the real successors. Or he did this because he was a catholic, and the Roman Catholic Church had a problem with the Eastern Orthodox Churches and had been excommunicated by them as well as excommunicated them (until the 20th century). Or both.

His narrative led to the coining of terms East and West, something that continues today (aka western world). Pejoratively Eastern Europe is just alien to Western Europe as the “Eastern world”, hence why Ukraine gets so much flack.

He named the “Eastern Roman empire” as the “Byzantine” empire. This Byzantium term had not been used since ancient history preceding the Roman Empire. (It’s like calling northeast America as the Iroquois States, or midwest US as the French Plains, or southwestern US as the Mexican States.) Byzantium was the name that preceded Constantinople.

The eastern Roman Empire always called themselves the Roman Empire and claimed the territories of the western Roman Empire.

Now only if I could find the name of this historian.

Great write-up!

I appreciate that you went the extra mile by showing how a generic enough controller can be used for various use cases.

People coming a from traditional JS background tend to make very specific Stimulus controllers, but when you make them a bit more abstract and modular they become more usable and easier to maintain.
in case anyone doesn't know it, the latest hotness is to use low-background steel as an analogy for pre-ai-generated internet content. they will 'mine' this ancient content in the future bc it's relatively unpolluted by arguably worse content generated by gpt and its successors. i'm not sure i 100% agree with that take, but that's what many people are saying.
OK, I get the point you’re trying to make now.

The languages I work with most often in decreasing order of frequency are: C, Python, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, and Julia. I don’t regularly cause problems for myself by running afoul of implicit casting rules, but I also spend all day writing numerical software. I can see that it can cause problems for other people who don’t spend as much time dealing with IEEE754.

There are definitely days where I feel like an OCaml-like level of casting pedantry would be nice, and other days I feel like it would be exhausting and make my code harder to read. I’ve never written a big piece of code in a language that required explicit casts for everything. I’m open to it.

I would say that unsigned integers cause me the most problems of any numeric type, but not so many problems that I’m looking to change languages. If I worked in a different field it’d be a different story I’m sure.

Slightly off-topic, but how do folks around here create production packages in nix? I use nix for my dev shells and machine configuration, but haven't yet built production packages using it.

More concretely, let's say you have a python backend that uses poetry. Do you just use `poetry install` in your derivation for python-deps? Do you use something like poetry2nix or node2nix and do all of your package management in nix?

I was curious if GPT could handle this. I couldn't get GPT-3.5 to figure it out, but GPT-4 was very quick to propose an interpretation. It's far more confident than I could imagine being, even if I could speak German, but this sort of thing feels like an application that a large language model might excel in.

Given that the message is decrypted from German, it seems to be a mix of letters and numbers that are likely military terms, geographical locations, and orders. Here's the translated meaning:

"Vier fünf null eins Y nach R. Stützpunkt Lübeck. Chef Vier. Flotte Mit Vier fünf null zwei und Vier fünf null drei zur Flender Werft Lübeck gehen. Dort folgt Weiteres."

In English, this roughly translates to:

"Four five zero one Y to R. Base Lübeck. Chief Four. Fleet with Four five zero two and Four five zero three go to Flender shipyard Lübeck. More to follow there."

This appears to be a set of instructions for a fleet of ships, possibly submarines (given the context of WWII and German naval operations), directing them to a particular location (the Flender shipyard in Lübeck) and notifying that further instructions will be provided upon arrival. "Four five zero one", "Four five zero two", and "Four five zero three" are likely codes for specific ships or units in the fleet. "Y nach R" could be coordinates or specific route instructions.
I see it as a positive sign: after 60 years of mainstream programming the field is finally maturing enough that we've got some consensus about what languages should look like (Scoping should be lexical. Types should exist but mostly be inferred. Etc.). We're past the "cambrian explosion" stage and now there's more iterating and polishing what works.
What "wild claim" do you have in mind?

The article seemed pretty clear about where evidence was lacking; and is more densely packed with links than >95% of mainstream news articles.

Even if one were to completely dismiss everything fta that was even slightly suspect, you'd still have more insight into why JP Morgan might intentionally delete tens of millions of emails.

> It seems like, in nearly any circumstance, the modern human body is at considerably less risk than our ancestors.

I don't think so. I think the risk is just flattened. We've quashed deaths from injuries and trauma, but chronic disease has been getting worse, due in part to our diet and lifestyles. I'd be surprised if modern people have better vitality and stamina over their lifetime than our pre-agrarian ancestors did.
Is it true though? - he says "when we develop fixes for issues in RHEL, we don't just apply them to RHEL - they are applied upstream first, to projects like Fedora, CentOS Stream or the kernel project itself, and we then backport them".

That contradicts to reports like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36484207

"Additionally, CentOS Stream updates often lag behind RHEL updates. This is because Red Hat won't commit an embargoed security update to CentOS Stream until after it ships in RHEL, so the developers responsible for the update will sometimes forget to commit it to CentOS Stream until a week or two after it's shipped. You end up in a weird position where you get most updates faster than RHEL users, but you often have to wait to get critical security updates. "
What 3.0 debacle?

I've just started a new project and we are using Scala 3. It's wonderful. (Admittedly, it's blank-slate, so no dependencies to previous Scala, e.g. the old Scala approach to meta-programming.)

ESP32 has several downsides I can think of:

- Generally you have to run Espressif's FreeRTOS variant, which is a very different programming model from the standard microcontroller-with-interrupts model that prior Arduinos use.
- ESP32 has a crappy ADC.[1]
- ESP32 is a 3.3V part. Yes, you can level-shift, but Arduino GPIOs can be set into 4 states: low, high, pull-up resistor enabled, and hi-Z. Your standard bidirectional level shifter[2] is not sufficient here - those can can only drive low or pull up.

If you wish to solve the housing issue then make it easier for individuals to build homes. Build quality in the uk is appalling anyway so why not streamline the process for people to buy land, build on said land? Also incentivise companies to allow work from home. There is no need for people to cram into overcrowded cities for jobs that dont require in office presence. That way folks can spread around, as i did, in cleaner, safer, less crowded areas of the country.

Something like making a new audio amplifier is pretty specialized, but you don't need any advanced math (Not even algebra) for some of it. As long as you're still pretty much thinking time domain and you don't need to calculate frequency responses and RF stuff there's lots to do.

But then again my only analog experience is just IO stuff for digital, I've never done anything interesting in pure analog, I think if you're a real analog enthusiast you might get bored of what you can do without math.

For all the tax dollars the state collects, there's not much to show for it, generally speaking. Seems like it all goes to PERS obligations and administration, rather than improving communities.

Not to mention, they have the auto refund of the surplus, which is kinda silly, because what you'd want the state to do is setup a rainy day fund that can be safely invested for future endeavors, but no, the legislative body of 1979 made it so that if the state runs a surplus they allow everyone to get a tax "kicker"[0] instead, which is pretty short sighted IMO. Not to mention, the amount after being spread out across all of Oregons tax paying base, is really small and makes hardly a difference for the average person.

Their dashcams are optically fairly nice for the price, but their app is a monstrosity. It demands:

1) The ability to run unrestricted in the background, ignoring battery restrictions and autosuspend

2) Location access. Not "allow this time", it detects that, it wants perpetuity

3) Access to all phone storage. Not "allow this time", it detects that, it wants perpetuity.

If you refuse to grant any of these it will simply show you "the following permissions are required" and refuse to proceed. Do you simply want to have a live view from your dash cam to check the angle of its placement? Too bad. If you grant these permissions and later go back to settings and remove them, then the next time you start the app it happens all over again. It is an absolute abomination and I will never buy their products again.

There are two different cases. One is where new "industries" like social media have been created and people are now trying to figure out how to really monetize them. In some ways, this is a breath of fresh air, for example paid search instead of ad supported.

On the other hand, there are companies that "disrupted" existing industries by buying revenue (uber, wework, etc) that now have to try and make a profit without any of their real core value proposition, and hope that they drove enough competitors out of business that they can stay viable. It's these ones that will be more painful for everyone. Has anyone looked at how expensive it is to get uber eats now? 2-3x take out price for a stale cold meal just isn't sustainable.

And then there's amazon that just decided to use their monopoly to force a giant shitty flea market on everyone. That's the one that makes the least sense.

- Rebuilding the physics should not at all shift positions. What is rebuilt is merely the "hot state" like contacts and trees - the only moment where hot state matters is during the process of advancing the simulation from one state to the next, it does not influence how state is later rendered etc.
The only impact on the existing players could be a single framerate drop in case the physics world to be rebuilt is massive, but in practice all our maps are still rather small, best suited for 3v3 matches.

Yup, that's how burnout works -- by tricking you into continually coming up with reasons to believe that it's all your fault.

Fortunately, however -- once you have enough observational data with these things (so as to be able to make a balanced assessment about them) -- it becomes perfectly reasonable to come to the conclusion that "It isn't me, it's them."
