Please, go back and re-read this thread. I never said use without attribution. Take a breath and step off your soap box for just a minute. To recap, my original comment was in support of a reasonable attribution. Then someone else came out with an unreasonable attribution request on every single use of an icon. This led me to jokingly reiterating the original question I responded to with a request for reasonable examples. Then you came at me like I'm asking for free use without credit whatsoever. When in fact, I actually provided an example of something I think of a reasonable license. Not once, ever, have I suggested use for free and fuck a license. You want this argument so bad, you injected that into the conversation.
You don't need user interviews, you just see where they are going.

Are they discussing this on twitter or reddit? Are they making YouTube videos? Did one of them start a Discord with lots of people there? Once you see what works, make an official one.

Funnily enough Discord was the only one I didn't start myself. I liked something async with proper Google searching better.

So even when I tried, I wasn't able to steer them.
Uh, no. Only two thirds of petroleum used in America is used for transportation, and that includes all transportation. You cannot possibly get a 90+% reduction in petroleum use by electrifying all cars.

The incredible release of all kinds of radiation (including gamma rays) around major earthquakes is very interesting from this perspective too.

Which makes me wonder: would this hold true for other planets that have thunderstorms over them as well and could we detect this here? Or is attenuation due to distance such that the signal would be lost in the noise?
I never said that they weren't. It's just that most programming language don't deal with gates as a part of their API.

> I also didn't realize Microsoft uses the best offerings for free TTS on edge so it blows google's default tts voices away.

This sounds really interesting - can you share a bit more? I'm behind in this space, my parser got all jammed up, something like: "Microsoft uses [the best offerings for free TTS](as in FOSS libraries, or free as in beer SaaS?) [on edge](Edge browser, or on the edge as in client's computer?)(Is the implication that all TTS on the client's computer blows Google's default TTS voices away?)"
This is fascinating. May I ask where and when (approximately)?
“Do this or die” does not imply meaningful choice. It doesn’t matter if that death is from murder or starvation. For all of us who are not independently wealthy “work” is involuntary, but choice of jobs often (but not always) is voluntary.
The real problem is that you sacrifice privacy for quality of life.

I have had so many fucking bugs with my iPhone 13 Pro Max:

The camera fucking SUCKS, even compared to my pixel 2 xl. Every photo looks like a cheap watercolor. And the computational photography (night mode) is fucking terrible. The image stabilization is nonexistent compared to the pixel 2 xl, and don’t even get me started on video stabilization

The keyboard will randomly get earsplittingly loud for no reason at all and will have huge typing delay.

Notifications are just worse

My messages app crashes frequently, and contact pictures refuse to show up about half the time

They keyboard is fucking awful compared to gboard, and the iOS gboard isn’t good

Google assistant is orders of magnitude better than Siri, and let’s be real: if you use any assistant it is going to listen to you

Apple Maps is terrible compared to google maps, and apple optionally chooses to gimp the lock screen navigation of everything besides Apple Maps (also yelp )

Voice typing is truly horrendous

The notes app is shit, just doesn’t work very well

I could keep going, but having been on apple thrice and android 4 times, I’m throughly done with apple unless they make some MASSIVE changes

Not as much as you would think. Carbon and water are common and have some interesting chemical properties that are not common overall. While other organizations are possible, between the other elements being less common, and how much more difficult the chemistry is the odds of it are low.
I think if you automate paraphrasing from an original work to use that original work on bulk somehow, yes.

Maybe not your point, but a lot of programmers like to take this as "I should invent the Python of quantum computing", which is just about as silly as trying to approach anyone in 1960 and telling them they shouldn't be thinking about electronics at all.

The earlier E- and F-units were much more conventionally attractive, especially in trains with a single "A" cab unit combined with cabless "B" units to form a sleek contiguous train: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_E-unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_F-unit

I agree that it does seem like the newer boxy aesthetic is trying to make a statement that train travel is for industrial goods only, not for people. Just why The Establishment would want to discourage cheap and easily-accessible passenger train travel in the late '60s and early '70s is left as an exercise for the reader: https://goldenstatswarrior.substack.com/p/the-great-migratio...

> A PE takeover is the signal that you no longer need to hedge those shorts; the company, loaded with the debt used to purchase it, will soon go bankrupt, and you will be absolved of closing your short positions, for all practical purposes.

I think it's just the opposite: you'll be forced to close your short position when the PE company buys. When PE firms "take over" a public firm, they generally take it private, and the takeover involves buying all outstanding shares, typically at a premium over current share prices.
Interview with Ray of raylib: easy-to-use library for videogames
As soon as I met Forth, I felt I had to hack my own (https://github.com/ttsiodras/MiniForth/) - and did so over a single week, two years ago. I targeted the Blue Pill and the original Arduino, but developed via cross-compilers so that I could test my code in the host.

I became so obsessed with the project that I was looking forward to tinkering with it after coming back from work every day; so it was hacked in 5 evenings and a weekend.
It was that much fun, to build a Forth.

I highly recommend the process; I think the only other time I felt so enlightened was when I first met Lisp macros (https://www.thanassis.space/score4.html#lisp).

It doesn't seem like python.org answers the question very well? As in the implied question of "What is python __init__?"

The returned sites do?

If I google "php __construct" I get php documentation as the first result.

Google knows when someone doesn't find the answer they're looking for from a result, I suspect the results you're seeing are the ones the majority of searchers for that query wanted.

You say no to them. I have a standing time reserved for school run. People regularly book stuff over it. I reject the meeting automatically. If I have 'busy' in my calendar because I don't want to be disturbed I first take a look what this new invite is and then decide on the spot with no or yes (no being the dominant response). Slowly over time people learn to email or Slack you with a few dates and times and life is good.

Whether or not AT&T was far-seeing, they had a mandate to design and deliver universal telephone service, and cost-plus deal to pay for it, so it made sense to buy nice expensive things. Even when the mission was fulfilled and the economy started to restructure the company, it ran along for at least another 10 or 15 years before the real disruption started (the 1996 breakup that turned Bell Labs into Lucent). And even then, the labs contributed fundamental research in machine learning, quantum computing and databases, to name a few areas. As you say, that model of large-scale corporate R&D doesn't exist any more - there's no funding model to support it.
America may be behind on physical consumer goods, but we dominate in virtual goods—software, music, and movies/TV.
US americans are already spending the money that funds that R&D. One possible solution that occurs to me just now (and is therefore very half baked) is that there must be a way they could continue to spend that money to fund research, while also having a functioning medical safety net
Yep, a lot depends on the size of the 'production run.' The seller had over 3000 of those scintillators originally, not clear how many they have left.

Digitization is another question -- they used a fast FPGA-based digitizer but it's not clear why it was necessary given the duration of the events being recorded. If it really is needed, then driving the cost down on the digitizer will be as big a challenge as the scintillator itself.
I’ve only experienced the version of GPT that Bing chat provides, so take this with a grain of salt.

Well, in many cases yes. Sedona (an entity that seems to actually care about its trail system) has wonderful navigational signs. With some thought, we could have signs like these and be significantly better off. They blend in until you reach them, and are useful but unobtrusive. Sedona, for what it's worth, also uses navigational cairns in several cases— often gabion cairns that cannot simply be knocked over.

The City of Phoenix, however, has shown over and over again to have no idea of the value of their trail system. They have repeatedly treated it like a burden to endure instead of the asset that it is. Their navigational signage is uninspired, lazy, ugly, incomplete, and in many cases factually incorrect. Their penchant seems to be for blocking off areas to access using poorly constructed steel signs in concrete. These signs tend to rust and tip over, contributing repeatedly to the wasteland aesthetic they ostensibly seek to avoid.

I could go on about how impressively poorly the City of Phoenix handles its trail system, but I'll leave it at this: for some areas the signs you get will be significantly worse than the possibility some rocks might get knocked over by some naive do-gooder. End rant :)
Measuring commits, loc, tickets, and story points, individually, might be gamble, but seeing all those consistently higher or lower seems like an okay indicator.

In its simplest and most basic form, Turbo does it all for you. All you have to do is add the javascript files and when the user visits a page, Turbo will intercept the request, pass it to the server, retrieve the HTML response, extract the content of the body tag and surgically insert the content into the client browser. I'm using it on a couple of sites (including mine, a static one built with Hugo) and web applications and the difference in speed and responsiveness is remarkable.
Of course you can go further. I'm now building a PWA using CodeIgniter and Turbo. The big advantage of this approach is that you can use "classic" technologies (HTML5 + backend) and achieve similar responsiveness to the modern Javascript frameworks, reusing all the existing backend code and logic.
> Lacking perfect knowledge, they must rely on outside advice, directly from those affected or indirectly from their assistants and technocrats who advise them.

There is a huge dufference between “subject matter expert advises lawmaker to vote some way” and “business tycoon hands a bag of money to lawmaker to vote some way.” Somehow, America has equated the two, and considers them equally acceptable.

Agree, the adoption is the key here.

Regarding AuthZ, dynamic authorization layers that combine policy as code and synchronization engines such as OPAL[1] can make the authentication session smarter and more dynamic to multiple factors. Think of AuthZ layer that combines session geolocation, IP, fingerprints, etc. that enquires every time a new vector needed for the authorization action.

Would love to hear what diagrams you'd like to make in your notes!

> Why did you chose this confusing name?

The main idea of the project is to generate diagrams from mathematical notations. So we want a name that people can associate with both "notations" and "diagrams." In addition to this, some of us also liked the fact that the name can be broken down into "pen" + "rose" :D.

We're really open to suggestions on names if a new name can help us spread the words on our core idea and the tool. "Escher" was one of the early candidates, too. Let us know!

> Could you justify it in the introduction of the documentation?

Great suggestion! Will do.

> As a mathematician. I cannot get over the fact that a tool called Penrose that makes (according to its documentation) diagrams, does not, in fact, make Penrose diagrams [0]. Nor even Penrose-Carter diagrams [1]

We never got around to make some Penrose diagrams in Penrose, but Penrose is an extensible platform! If you make a lot of them and want to make them in Penrose, join the discord (https://discord.com/invite/a7VXJU4dfR) to chat with us. I'd love to have some Penrose diagrams in our gallery too ;).

That’s much easier said if you work for a startup.

But if you work for either a large organization or a company that’s been around for decades, you influencing that kind of change (across departments you don’t own) is virtually impossible unless you’re the CEO. And even then, extremely difficult.
I’ve been working as a hobbyist in unity for years, mainly just to keep up on c# because I have no practical application for it.

I have no problem whipping out anything simple like what you mentioned in a couple of minutes, but it does strike me as odd that there isn’t a way to just plug together. Like a good example is a lot of the water physics plugins. Do I want to spend a ton of time making a water physics and visuals engine? No. But, I have to attach this random object to my character controller so that it makes a splash when it touches the water, and another to make it float. Why not just code it so it interacts with a rigidbody?

I have a character model that runs, jumps, and shoots all using a single script and the concept of a rigidbody, but I have to add arbitrary handlers to make the rigidbody capable of touching water? Why not an arbitrary script that makes a rigidbody not touch water, if I eventually want that?
> Why is private equity ending up with all these resources? Who is selling to them and why? Why didn't this happen before? It's not like PE is new.

PE as an investment strategy was pioneered by KKR in the 60's, beginning with the acquisition of family-owned businesses facing succession issues. The strategy exists because there's really poor liquidity for private companies. If you're a founder who wants to sell your stake, you either:

1. Sell to a strategic buyer

2. Sell to an individual

3. IPO

4. Sell to PE

The first three options may not be always viable at a given point in time (aka illiquidity). Strategic buyers aren't always looking to buy, an individual may not have enough capital, and IPOs place a huge amount of reporting burden on a company. PE is the only reasonable exit option for a huge swath of private companies. Take a hypothetical family-owned supermarket chain with 10 locations across 3 cities in the midwest. All the kids are terrible successors. Who's going to buy it?

1. A strategic buyer, such as Walmart, may not be interested right now.

2. An individual probably doesn't have enough enough money to buy the whole thing

3. An IPO saddles the business with reporting requirements that simply don't make sense for a supermarket with only 10 locations

People sell to PE because it's often the only way to exit. Almost all bootstrapped companies belong in this category. At the end of the day, PE funds are simply groups of professional investors that specialize in buying out companies. If they are poor investors or poor operators, they will tank the company. If they are good investors and good operators, they will sell the firm for a profit in the future.

> When PE loads up a firm with supposedly unsustainable billions of debt, someone is on the other side of that transaction, lending the billions. Who does that and why? Are they perpetual suckers, unaware of the decades of experience we have doing this?

Many people offer debt, from private credit funds such as Golub Capital to bank syndicates. The best lenders are not suckers and the best PE funds almost never default. Oftentimes, the PE fund itself is collateral. PE funds that regularly default will have a difficult time finding a lender.

People also misunderstand the purpose of debt. It's simple math:

You want to buy a company for $100M. You can buy the entire thing with cash and sell it again after it doubles in 5 years, netting yourself $100M, giving you a 1x return.

Alternatively, you can pay $20M down and borrow $80M at a 10% interest rate (simple interest for ease of calculation). When you sell it for $200M in 5 years, you net $200M - $20M - $80M * 1.5 = $60M, giving you a 3x return.

Obviously, you've also increased the risk - your business must be capable of paying off an extra $8M a year in interest.
