There’s an episode of some sci-fi anthology show[0] where this woman is struggling with the chaos in her life, loses it in a supermarket and starts yelling, “Shut up!” She quickly learns she can pause time by doing so and start it again by saying, “Start talking.” She used it in predictable ways. The episode ends with an impending nuclear attack and she screams, “Shut up!” at the news cast and the sirens and her crying family. The world stops, she steps outside, and looks up at an ICBM frozen above the city.

I saw this when I was somewhere around the age of 10. I didn’t see The Day After or any of the real serious nuclear stuff. But there’s a piece of my mind that still exists in that episode of that show. Stuff hits you weird when you’re a kid in ways I don’t think most adults remember. And I only say weird because hard isn’t the right word and I don’t think how it hits is always predictable.

[0]I thought it was the second version of The Twilight Zone which aired about the right time, but I can’t find such an episode.

AI for New Taste Experiences in Beer
A lot of American brewers survived by switching to non-alcoholic beverages or selling the raw ingredients for home brewing and winemaking operations under the guise of 'baking ingredients' or the like. Some sold practically non-alcoholic 'near beer'/kvass-type malt drinks, but it wasn't especially popular.
ZFS's larger blocks you are referring to are the logical block size, which is the size unit for compression among other things. I don't know much about bcachefs, but as I understand it, a logical block in ZFS is equivalent to a bcachefs extent (in terms of compression, at least) and a ZFS physical block is equivalent to a (possibly empty) set of bcachefs blocks.

As an example, in terms of actual on-disk storage, a 128 KB logical block in ZFS can be compressed down to (for example) a 3.5 KB "physical" block and it will only actually consume 3.5 KB of disk space (surprisingly, the block size of a ZFS physical block doesn't have to be a power of 2!).

That said, if you have 4 KB-sector disks then you should probably use a physical block size granularity of 4 KB for your ZFS pool rather than 512 bytes.

So, regardless of the file size, an on-disk ZFS block can actually occupy anywhere from 0 bytes up to 1 MB, with a granularity of up to 512 bytes, depending on how much it is compressed, what the physical block size granularity of the ZFS pool is and what you've selected as the recordsize property (i.e. the logical block size) for the corresponding filesystem in the pool.
It's funny that such a flippant exchange is actually hugely significant for the English language. As most Roman text across the World is now consumed via HTML this brief discussion put the final nail in the coffin for the double-space-after-sentence jig.

The fact that the exchange is recorded is magnificent to me. We don't have a written dialogue of the guys who decided to start putting spaces in English words in the first place...

It's not quite to that level, but they carefully study the acoustics and position all speakers so the transition is gradual and not jarring. They might also choose songs that have elements of both lands to use in areas close to the transition point.

Semi-related: if you go on the Disneyland version of Pirates of the Caribbean, there is a short section of caves right between the first and second drop. The section only lasts maybe 10/15 seconds, but it's where you hear A Pirate's Life for Me for the first time in the entire ride as a kind of foreshadowing of what you will see later. Well, as soon as you go down the second drop, which is not that steep or long, the music is completely gone, and all you can hear is the atmospheric ambient music for the "main" cave section. I always found that incredibly fascinating, since you can turn around and see the previous area, but you cannot hear the music at all.

EDIT: there is actually something that is closer to iMuse, at least the way it was implemented in the Special Edition. Their parade routes are divided into multiple zones, and the soundtrack is equally divided in sections for each float. They use a positioning system to determine where each float is, and feed the correct section of the soundtrack to that speaker zone. It works incredibly well, and you don't notice it at all while you're there.

Listen to the soundtrack for the Paint the Night parade for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoIpk9F_Okk&pp=ygUhcGFpbnQgd...

Each section is basically the same length, the whole thing is (mostly) in the same exact key, of course it's the same BPM across the board, and each section has an intro/outro that can act as transition points to mix into the next section. They can also, of course, loop ad libitum if the parade were to stop for a few minutes. Really cool stuff!
Please explain how that makes the world worse.

Everyone likes to rant about lobbyists and lobbying, which are strange names for something Thomas Jefferson chose instead to call "petitioning government for redress of grievances".

Is it that you just dislike it when other people exercise their rights? Is it that you don't bother to exercise those same rights yourself, and so they shouldn't be allowed to do so either? Or maybe it's just that they're better at it and that seems unfair to you?
> Another key is that HDMI carries more power than display port.

A quick look at Wikipedia's article for both standards shows that you're wrong:

DisplayPort: 3.3 V ±10%, 500 mA
HDMI: 5 V, 50 mA

Which means at least 1500 mW for DisplayPort, and only 250 mW for HDMI. So no, the DisplayPort cable carries more power than the HDMI cable.

And when you think about it a bit, it makes sense that DisplayPort carries more power than HDMI: one of the use cases for DisplayPort is an active converter to HDMI, which needs power for both its electronics and the HDMI cable.
I recommend The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, it’s much better IMO. Not sure why Lightness is more famous, perhaps just the title is more interesting.
That’s what containers do - package the dependencies with a piece of running code. That’s also one of the main reasons for their quick, wide adoption, even by conservative enterprises.

But this gets more challenging as the granularity of what’s being packaged reduces. You can see this even in the container case: consider a container that depends on a particular version range of another container. For any possible solution to this, there are disadvantages which make it untenable in some situations.

There’s no good general solution to this other than being explicit about the version dependencies and solving the dependency issues when deploying, whether manually or automatically. A automated solver helps with that.

Btw, you can see something like what you described in Java programs built with Maven (for example). Run Maven’s dependency:tree function on any non-trivial program and you’ll see different versions of the same package appearing over and over, because each package does have its own (logical) space for dependencies.

But Maven still has a version solver built in, and even with your proposed solution plus a solver, you can find plenty of articles on the web saying things like “Maven dependency conflicts can be really hard to solve.” The reason for that is when it fails, it’s because it’s encountered a difficult or impossible situation that (currently) requires human intervention.
Same. For K-12, at least, I believe the reason why no one could give a solid reason is because the teachers who are teaching the subject have literally no professional industrial experience with math. They have nothing to share with no real-world insights. I presume this should come to no surprise. According to GTP, the average salary range of a mathematician in the US is, "$80,000 to $100,000, while more experienced mathematicians can earn up to $150,000 or more." With salaries like these, no one working professionally as a mathematician would choose to downgrade to become a teacher, with teacher pay, lower respect and deal with uninterested, rude, problematic students.
That being said, I think climate activists need to have their "The Day After" moment

Mentioned in other comments The Road is a possible contemporary parallel, but the time has probably past for experiences as communally shared as watching Threads due to the very fragmented media landscape, especially compared to the very limited UK TV choice of the 80s.
seems a bit hyperbolic to compare not owning the software on a disc to not owning clothes. Fact is that deluxe entertainment isn't some crucial necessity for most people. So of course they don't mind the lack of ownership.
Which is sort of also what you're doing with federated platforms. Just look at what's happening with Meta's Threads and Mastodon. In the end you'll always have someone in the driver seat deciding for you who's going to see what (by not federating with threads.net for example).

In a similar fashion, the code is AGPLv3 so you can run your own instance in both cases

> Starlink satellites are making thousands of avoidance maneuvers as low Earth orbit becomes more crowded, feeding worries that a catastrophic impact is inevitable.

I don't understand how this is even slightly a proportionate statement, having read the rest of the article.
Slightly less than 10% of US breweries surcived the 13 years of prohibition, mostly through a) being large companies that owned a lot of assets and real estate, and b) successfully pivoting into anything from ceramics production to non-alcoholic foods like ice cream/tea/coffee/juices to the sale of yeast and malt syrup that people could use to homebrew beer.

And prohibition had been a long time coming, some companies like Anheuser-Busch had been preparing for several decades.

Why? I only see a tiny note on this in the About page. What motivated the fork and how different are the two from each other?
Service in small towns and villages has become worse (thanks to decades of free-market-politics). I live in such a village.

But that, indeed, does not mean that public transport is bad. It's still very good. Just less good for a minority.

My situation is that I always need (2x) extra 25 minutes on bike before I can hop on a train. A car hardly increases that speed. A taxi might be faster (due not having to park), but they are (always have been market-driven) unpredictable: they don't like driving to/from a small village.

I often need "last-leg" journeys in remote areas too. Dutch public transport has excellent bike-services. I'll just grab a bike (OV-fiets) at the train-station and cycle to where I have to be. Sure, over 30-minutes makes the entire journey longer than car. But 25 mins bike + train@150km/h + 30 mins bike is most often still faster than a car. And I can drink a beer, code some stuff or watch a netflix on the train. And have 1:50m of light workout under the belt.

Point being: maybe it's getting less-good. And it's good that people complain about that (if only they voted like this too). But most often this complaint is really little more than repeated hearsay; a pretext to keep driving in a car.
I'm rather annoyed with operating systems and devices gaining ever larger, higher resolution screens and then scaling everything up so you don't gain anything by all that screen real estate. The old screenshot was designed for what, 17" screens, maybe even 20"? We've more than doubled our screen area yet we've lost work area in the process.

I get that some people need things to be bigger because their eyesight isn't as good as it used to be, but my 6.5" smartphone displayed less content on screen than its 5.5" predecessor when it came out of the box because of whitespace.

Just for a bit of nostalgia I've installed Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005 in a VM and I was blown away by how much code it fit on a screen despite the stacked toolbars everywhere. VS Code wastes major amounts of space for aesthetic reasons and Jetbrains is changing their use of screen real estate for the worse as well with the new theme.

More and more software is taking away the ability to claim back the ever growing whitespace. What once served as the huge, whitespacey standard is now labeled "compact". I know I can mess with scaling and CSS and UI themes and other stuff to bring down the bloat, but it's rather annoying that I have to do it in the first place.
> After a defensive copy of the byte-array is made, just before returning the newly constructed string object, verify once again that the chosen coder matches the string contents.

Allocating new String objects might very well be the most frequent memory allocation operation in the JVM. IMO it would be a mistake to do anything to slow this down to protect against this weird instantiation behavior, unless it implies a security vulnerability which can't be fixed by guards at the interning step.
No it is not. I have never ever touched a RPM, but I want to bundle my app with jdk 20 and opencv 4.5. how do I guarantee that?
It's hard to make out your actual point given it's couched in stereotype.
This is pretty gutting as someone who lived in SF for a few years and drank quite a lot of Anchor Steam beer during that time. It's a shame to see such an iconic brewery closing down. I did a tour last year and loved the history and seeing the old copper brewing tanks that they still used. Shame they couldn't keep up with the modern tastes and amount of microbreweries popping up. RIP
I guess Sierra Nevada was a big influence early on, and since then I’ve come to appreciate a large variety, from more hoppy offerings from the likes of Russian River, Lagunitas, Stone and recently Almanac, to lagers from Pacifico and Dos Equis, several prominent Belgian brands, and some local sours. I enjoy a wide variety, but always thought of Anchor Steam as bland, malty, and mediocre, on the same low level as Fat Tire, to name a comparable brand.

That said, I’ve only had it bottled, never on tap.
>Do a search for "atmospheric drag" or anything about orbital lifetimes, gabbard diagrams [0] or the like

>nothing, instead it equates all constellations and satellites together as the same thing

Yet another click bait crummy article, with the obligatory "concerned astronomers" emotional tug on top but no serious engagement. And "big numbers!!" but no sort of context on if or why it's a problem. It's so tiresome how this gets trotted out over and over again. SpaceX's approach isn't bad for debris risks, it's good! The absolute best possible fail safe solution for sats is to have them low enough that they will passively deorbit very quickly without continuous boosts, or even better VLEO orbits where they must maintain aerodynamic orientation as well. Which in turn requires lots of sats that are actively replaced regularly, which in turn helps ensure updates can also be made rapidly based on real experience and they can become extremely refined. Sloppily throwing it all into some vague fear panic of "Kessler Syndrome" is not just wrong it's actively bad for that very reason vs clear differentiation between stuff at 300-550km vs 700+.

Also the implication that the utility function for earth-based astronomers is unlimited and they have some special right on top, ignoring the potential future paths for improvement and approaches that would ensure that (a small tax that would go directly towards a fund for space based telescopes say). And so on and so forth. There are real important discussions to be had which makes it all the more disappointing it's so very, very shallow.

Edit: Also to be clear it's not like orbital lifetimes are a new thing to think about. [1] is a classic old school webpage excerpting info from the 1987 "Satellite Orbits in an Atmosphere - Theory and Applications". It gives both very rough initial guidelines for thinking but then dives a bit more into how m/A and solar flux affect that a lot. Keep in mind when looking at the "LOW CIRCULAR ORBITS" section and graph what the m/A of diffuse debris looks like vs an original intact satellite (not that Starlink sats are big compact high weight spheres anyway).

An Introduction to Devise for Ruby on Rails
In the basic generational references approach that was a drawback, and the reason it couldn't release memory back to the OS. We planned to use something like MESH [0] to reduce the fragmentation.

We created two newer approaches since then, which let any memory be reused for any purpose:

* Random generational references, where it's fine if generations overlap with other data.

* Side-table generations, which is slower but we keep the generations in a side-table. It's can be seen in old 0.1 versions as the "resilient-v2" mode, and I plan on resurrecting it for unrelated reasons.

The former will be the default, and the latter we'll be adding back in as an option. Hope that helps!

> The people that I’m actually interested in have a profile, but never actually use it.

Does it have their work and education history on it? If so, that is "using" LinkedIn. You click on the companies in their profile. You follow the link to that company's website, see what they do. Or you find their connections from their profile page and see if any of those people are interesting or have interesting histories. Then you can (often) send people messages.

These are (in my view) by far the most useful capabilities for grown up working professionals that have been invented in the social media era. Everything else (including everything else on LinkedIn, posts and the feed, etc.) is almost entirely just noise with limited utility beyond entertainment.

The vast majority of the time the reason your ideas are dismissed are because people don't see the value in them. Oftentimes, the easiest way to show the value is to build a vertical slice of that idea and show it to folks.

In highly-regulated environments, this may not be an option, but for the vast majority of engineers, testing out different wordings, getting more seniority, or making allies will take a lot longer than producing a small prototype that can show the value.

I think the analysis of why people don't like your idea should be saved for post-prototyping. The prototype should be a reasonable amount of effort, no 6 month projects ignoring the value you're being asked to produce, but more like a 1 or 2 day project when the workload is low.

A good manager will encourage this sort of prototyping and not force you do it in secret. If you are having to build your prototypes in secret because people will prevent you from doing them, then you should be job hunting, because the place you're in doesn't trust you enough for you to thrive.

While that one line is incorrect, it’s a fallacy to use that to try and sow the seeds of doubt in the other points. People make mistakes in wording all the time and it’s a low debate tactic to do what you did.

The fact is some frame hitches are gone but obviously not all.

The ones that will primarily be gone or largely mitigated are

- shader compilation hitches, because console versions of games can ship with pre compiled shaders.

- data transfer hitches because the consoles have shared memory and dedicated compression blocks to optimize transfer

- system resource scheduling contention because the OS and other processes won’t start interfering with the game process since they use dedicated resource allocation.

Sadly they immediately remodeled and took the speak-easy out.
that's the case for every console ever made after the 90s; here the fact that both gaming desktop PC and consoles share similar hardware pieces makes it imho that more interesting to be able to find use cases the deliver a better out of the box experience, and have it cost a fraction of the game PC budget.
So they're doing what they were designed to do

There is truth in this, but even then, to apply the formulas to many problems, you need to have seriously strong pattern recognition abilities, and the capacity and flexibility to adapt what you know to the given situation. Then piping the right thing into the other right things requires a deeper understanding, not always of what the thing very nature, but at least what it does, and what's it compatible with.

This means loading the entire problem space in your head.

And this is hard.
The Princeton people have been around for a while, with a FRC driven by an odd-parity rotating magnetic field. This seems fairly legit, although I have questions about energy recycling from ions back to the rotating magnetic field that they seem to be depending on. Also, they need lots of 3He.

Helion seems more fully baked, and more able to satisfy the due diligence of the people with loads of money.
