WINE is not a VM though. It is an implementation of the Windows API.

The Wine documentation admits that it is emulating the Windows API.

https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_Developer%27s_Guide/Architectur...

Of course there is no hardware emulation, so all Windows binary code is running natively with no performance drop. That's why it was called WINE. But still there are two meanings of the word. Hardware emulation or OS emulation at API level.
Ah yes, that actually makes sense. Making the air drier speeds up the entire water cycle, thus more rainfall.

It would be interesting to have a water cycle simulation with sliders.
i think it ebbs and flows. if the environment becomes shitty enough eventually you will go out of business. so you will see corrections or correction attempts if things are bad enough. the tragedy of software development is that a small investment upfront could prevent massive investments down the road, yet nobody will try to do the corrections upfront.
Feels out of context. I couldn't even figure out what age of students they're talking about until I read "One said the focus on four specific topics was likely to leave pupils bored with science by the time they reached secondary school." So I guess elementary school.

Now, the complaint is that instead of physics, chemistry, and biology, it's "the Earth system, biodiversity, food, energy and water, and infectious diseases." That's all it says, I don't really know what that's supposed to mean. The elementary school version of chemistry I learned was just making vinegar and baking soda volcanoes. Maybe that's "energy" now.
How are they going to do that? The only way it’s conceivable is a hard fork, or something equivalent, or some very abrupt architectural and strategic changes that would seem just as disruptive to users (and much more disruptive to heavily invested partners).

I made the same prediction about hooks, but the fundamental difference is that you can ignore hooks. You can drop in basically any state/effect system and interop with components using their own, or hooks, or whatever. But you literally can’t even import existing components or call existing APIs (even hooks!) without rethinking the call stack. Parents and children are much more coupled than they used to be. Some libraries will either earnestly adopt RSC, or will make minimal necessary changes to be compatible, and propagate the problem to each of their consumers. And they, in turn, will have to choose whether to adapt to these factors within React… or without.

And again, as an observer, it doesn’t seem like that prospect is being received very well. It seems like it’s being received the same way Angular 2 was: you’re in for some large dose of pain no matter what you choose to do, and “no one ever gets fired for choosing ___” feels a lot less of a safe bet.

And unlike the Angular 2 experience, the other options are increasingly viable and mature and well received. My knowledge transfer to Solid took a few hours playing with a toy project for fun. Which is notably far less time and effort than I’d expect to spend getting up to speed with React today.

I’d be happy to be wrong, I actually want the React team to succeed on several different highly principled vectors. But at minimum I think they’re going to need to really rethink how they’re communicating this set of changes and very probably how they’re rolling them out.
I really like that post, but I view it as a description of the limit case of how an arbitrarily powerful LLM would behave. It doesn't give you a way to compare models or predict their limitations or relative advantages.
Iframes are opaque for css, form fields and for js in some sense.
I mean, CI is probably not where you want people to be getting their dopamine hits. I've found that the absolute simplest CI pipeline is the best CI pipeline. Sometimes just a single make command with the right tools preinstalled into a container image is the best. But the more you feel like you've learned something new or accomplished something complex, the more challenging it's going to be to work with your project in local dev and in CICD, and the more work it'll be to maintain in the future as dependency additions necessitate build changes.
thank you for the information, for sure, but i was responding to the claim that sea salt "needs cleaning" to point out that that seasalt isn't being cleaned, so it puts an upper bound on the value of need as it concerns the commercial market including govt regulation. My suspicion was that where would be more to worry about from single-celled life detritus, heavy metals, forever chemicals etc, but the marketplace doesn't seem to be worried about that.

I go about my daily life not worrying about microplastics (I know they are ubiquitous, and I'm not in favor of them, I just don't worry about them) Are microplastics known to cause particular diseases, or just suspected on the grounds that they "couldn't be good"? plastic is pretty inert which is why it remains around for so long, and while it is made from toxic things, it's generally considered safe. I'm just curious about actual microplastic effects rather than the sort of "it's estrogenizing our boys, antivax...er-plastic" suspicions.
Debian once went 5 years between major releases. They got their act together, but at one time there were legitimate worries about the project's future.

Keep in mind that pure gas heating is also not 100% efficient because you need to remove the exhaust, meaning you need to use a heat exchanger and no heat exchanger is 100% efficient either. Some of the heat gets carried outside.

It doesn't take being an L7 engineer at Walmart to hit the same compensation as an SDE2 at Amazon (L7 @ WMT is $493k vs SDE2 @ AMZN is $243k according to levels.fyi). You still don't understand that Walmart tech jobs aren't mostly listed under Walmart on levels.fyi.

Consider this a little test; figure out what I'm talking about and where I got the $493k, and I'll continue to engage. Otherwise I'm done.
> macOS is based on FreeBSD.

Regarding OS-X/macOS:

The fundamental services and primitives of the OS X kernel

Mach to better meet OS X functional and performance goals.

Some portions of the OS-X/macOS kernel are based on FreeBSD however:

It is correct to say some parts of OS-X/macOS are based on FreeBSD, but not to the point of making an unconditional assertion. As to user-land utilities, many are the same as found in a FreeBSD distribution.

I don't think the article dodges the question at all. Did you properly read it or just skim it? It goes over multiple ways of desalinating water, distillation and osmosis - as you also cover. The most relevant paragraph to the question and a bit of a conclusion seems to be:

>And that’s the problem with desalination. It’s kind of like the nuclear power of water supply. It seems so simple on the surface, but when you add up all the practical costs and complexities, it gets really hard to justify over other alternatives. It’s also harder to compare costs between those alternatives because of desal’s unique problems. It’s just a newer technology, so it’s harder to predict hidden technical, legal, political, and environmental challenges. For example, because of the high energy demands, desalination can strongly couple water costs with electricity costs. During a drought, the cost of hydropower goes up because there’s less water available, increasing overall energy costs and thus making desalination less viable right when you need it most.

Interesting quotes. I worship Will Wright and his work - and I've written basically nothing but procedural games with the kinds of micro-controls he describes, which I find so interesting. But I have to disagree with the contention that this is fundamentally a form of compression, as opposed to a paradigm centered around the joy of building things for synthesis rather than replay. The compression view is of course bound up in the origins of floppy-based demos, but the scene continues today.

The costs now run the other way, in fact. If you viewed the main benefit of procedural systems as compression, you're much better off saving the compute cost and just pre-generating and streaming terabytes worth of game assets. (Arguably, Spore could have even benefited from such an approach). The lasting benefit of the procedural is that whoever plays it gets a truly unique experience that no one has seen before, or will see again.
Thanks so much! Comments like this definitely are reassuring :)

So.. they work in two directions.
You might need the equivalence of a solo flight for a student pilot. You fly 3 take offs and landings by yourself as a confidence building step.
I work in aviation safety research, and there are many problems we reduce to "task overload." Pilots and ATC are under an incredible workload and often required to multiple things at once. We have more and more things to monitor and many things vying for attention. There are also a litany of issues such as staff shortages and busy airspace and software issues that exacerbate the mental workload placed upon them. It also does not help we place most of the burden and responsibility of safe operation onto pilots and ATC.

Unfortunately, we lack the tools to quell the information overload and focus on the most impactful items in the OODA loop. We also often lack data and even the right vocabulary/taxonomy to make statistical conclusions about how much is too much.
>My best compromise recommendation is to swallow the cost and get a Magic Trackpad.

I don't get it: this appears to be an external device. The whole point of a trackpad is that it's built into your laptop. If I'm going to carry an external device around and plug it in every time I use my laptop on-the-go, I'll just get a mouse.

Facebook was highly exclusive when it first launched. That same company made Threads. I don't know if Facebook would have been as popular if it had not leveraged scarcity.
Many Apple product niceties can be explained by the simple fact that Apple gets to control the hardware and the software of their products.

Simply said, Apple can write their OS, Userland, and drivers to play very nicely with the hardware that they select.

Even then they have issues sometimes, see the ridiculous thermal throttling you can experience on later Intel MacBooks.

Since you can't use a search engine to figure that out, I'll give you

Ya - if I could afford this and didn't, and the kid died - I'd always wonder if the better seat would have saved them. I have a really good seat (this didn't exist), and also (probably equally...or more importantly?) a very highly rated car.

Safety is a great way to sell this product, though the price may limit who buys it.

Open source licenses might be a spectrum but it's likely that the legal reality isn't. Like the famous double split experiment there's probably no spectrum and only a couple of buckets of legal validity.
You may define “reasonable” any way you want to. The fact is that U.S. has sufficient military power to enforce its will on others while having enough soft power to, usually, wrap those actions in a cloak of U.N. legitimacy. One should not confuse this with morality or justice or righteousness of action. The U.S. has a long history of hypocritical justifications against those it deems foes. For instance we didn’t really care all that much when Israel acquired nuclear weapons but suddenly care when the Iranians want to acquire them.

We look askance when others do to us as we do to them but we shouldn’t. It’s ok to admit that we (the U.S.) are hypocrites when it comes to this stuff. We decry (justly in my opinion) the Russian invasion of Ukraine while having engaged in even more pointlessly stupid and evil invasions of other nations (like Iraq).

> some innocent victims exists, treated as guilty

The context in this discussion is comparing the hypothetical of a homeless person dying due to a systemic failure to the hypothetical of a business going bankrupt (without being acquired) due to a systemic failure.

This concept of presumed innocence ought to apply to this hypothetical homeless person: why not give them shelter (analogous to allowing M&A) by default, until someone decides it’s a problem? If a society is willing to accept this personal death, they should be willing to accept a business failure.
No, you are right, 60% is a theoretical maximum achievable maybe with supercritical reactor coolant. The actual maximum for existing reactors is somewhere just below 40%.

Elon Musk on Instagram (2018)

"It's just common sense" is not a solid scientific proof. Testing something that we _think_ we know (but have no proven) is not a bad thing.
> This is not really an argument...

That's not for you to decide.

We both know that Mastodon, Mastodon.social and the rest of the fediverse had many chances for adoption during Musk's fuckups.

And it still didn't take off the way Threads did.

Isn't the whole point of Mastodon supposed to be a privacy advocating and decentralised alternative to Twitter?

Threads's launch is just going to centralise Mastodon to the biggest servers, and onto Threads itself which defeats the point of Mastodon.

This seems to be a much more reasonable unit, 10,000 BTU, does both heating and cooling via a heat pump, and it costs $700, although there are a lot of negative reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZCZSSV8

$5000 is ridiculous for the Gradient Comfort 8000BTU window unit. The Soleus is the only other heat pump window unit I've seen for sale. Midea makes some A/C's that are more efficient because they use an inverter, but they don't do heating. There seems to be a market failure here, given that a bidirectional heat pump shouldn't cost much more than an air conditioner you'd think everyone would prefer a heat pump, especially since it would lower cooling costs and can do lower cost heating in the winter. But nobody is selling them at reasonable cost and quality. They could include a heat exchanger also to bring in fresh air without losing energy. But nobody makes such a thing. Maybe the barriers to entry in this market are high for some reason? Window air conditioners have always kind of sucked (too noisy, encourage mold, uneven distribution of cold, crummy temperature control). I wonder why. It seems wrong.

We are doing a military IoT products, for blue force tracking, supply chain control and low bandwidth datalink operations. Full stack - cases, pcb, firmwares, antennas, software and deployments. Can’t do show as we have only one customer now. As we are working in aggressive environment sometimes it is hard to keep cost in a reasonable range. Also finding a VC or fund interested in dual purpose or military hardware is hard and differ from a consumer products, so still FFF model of financing and this produce issues with scaling
I would say it depends. At the point in my life when I had very little I would almost always buy the cheapest, but there was some exceptions where the necessity of needing an item forced me to buy quality. Many of those quality items I still have 20+ years later where the cheapest would have failed and been replaced many times over.

Now I generally try and buy quality items unless I expect there will be no repeated reuse, then I go cheap.

I guess if quality counts as "worthy" Then I do now select based on that. I rarely examine the politics or beliefs of a company as part of a purchasing decision. I find that large companies always seem to support all sides of all issues although they may put one thing to them forefront on occasion. Small businesses have their beliefs too but whatever that core values is more of an ethos that usually gets represented in their products. So the politics of the owners don't mean a lot to me in those cases as regardless of who I'd buy from it's very likely to provide income to individuals who support something I may disagree on. So buying on quality supports the workmanship and if I want to argue politics I'll do it in another way.
