Not brown rice, but I guess there is a shortage and now hoarding of rice happening[1]. India has supposedly banned the export of non-basmati white rice.

I guess this could impact brown rice supplies if people who can't get white rice switch to brown rice.

Not too hard to hoard rice. It doesn't require refrigeration and can be stored for a long time. Like toilet paper!

In my experience with multi-threaded programming, C++ code with "careless sharing issues" is often filled with multiple threads accessing the same object and relying on convention to avoid calling the wrong thread's methods, pervasive data races and unsynchronized variable access, mistaken use of mutexes on only one side of shared memory, and logical race conditions that require adding mutexes (risking deadlock) or rewriting code to address. Whereas Rust code tends to not have these issues to begin with (outside of the implementation of synchronization primitives), store reader and writer methods on separate handle objects, use Arc to manage cross-thread shared memory, and similar which makes the code either correct or tractable to learn and make correct.

I also struggle to understand the threading model of COM and C libraries like libusb (https://libusb.sourceforge.io/api-1.0/libusb_mtasync.html), though that might just be me, and each library tends to have a different threading model. Rust's Send/Sync is a 90% solution which you can learn upfront, is checked by the compiler, and applies to all libraries and works for most use cases.
LOL look at this IBM beast https://my90stv.com/#jV2O9_xNsX8

Loving this project btw, so much nostalgia
For some definition of small. Which I suspect is larger than “180 miles apart”.

I quite frankly just don’t see the value is connecting Portland and Seattle by high speed rail. Who gives a shit? Spend billions of dollars so that hundreds, perhaps even a whole thousand, of people can take a weekend trip that is slightly faster than a 3 hour drive?

I’d rather see Renton and Kenmore/Bothell quintuple in density and get connected by a nice, fast loop.

Seattle to SeaTac probably has about the right number of stops. Well, a few too many, but should be more than zero. Those stops just need to have something at them. We built a minimal amount of transit and then failed to upzone the neighborhood.
JOSS does something like this and it’s awesome.

I’m not sure about the pull request workflow though, how would that work for review? Is your concept more for collaboration?

"In conclusion, using active surveillance, mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated mild transient myocardial injury was found to be much more common than previously thought. It occurred in one out of 35 persons, was mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men."

1 in 35 were injured.

Note: We know heart muscle doesn't really repair itself well. Damaged muscle is replaced with scar tissue. So beware of the "transient" assertion.

I agree with what you say but the problem is that journals such as Nature do not have blinded peer review.

Reviewers know who you are. This is quite shocking to discover if you come from Math or CS.
The Steering Council said their intention is to remove the GIL-build in future:

> Long-term, we want no-GIL to be the default, and to remove any vestiges of the GIL (without unnecessarily breaking backward compatibility). We don’t want to wait too long with this, because having two common build modes may be a heavy burden on the community (as, for example, it can double test resources and debugging scenarios), but we can’t rush it either. We think it may take as much as five years to get to this stage.

Vancouver to Seattle would be doable. It’s the Portland to Vancouver part that would be hard. There were plans to rebuild the interstate bridge to allow more lanes, include pedestrian/bike crossing, and train crossing. It got so bogged down in disagreements that it was eventually scrapped. I’m not holding my breath on allowing a high speed rail crossing between Portland and Vancouver. Fortunately the rail yard in Vancouver is just on the other side of the Columbia.
State population density simply doesn't matter. City population and distance between cities matters. Nobody realistically expects train lines to enable transportation to every square mile of the state.
To play devil's advocate, induced demand is a good thing - more people getting to go where they want to go. I'm all in favor of HSR but you have to balance the viewpoint - roads are a good thing, in general, they just should be a (much smaller) part of the mix instead of the only answer. Most freight should move by boat and rail, most passengers should move by rail and bus, and roads should be mostly for adhoc trips and deliveries rather than daily commutes.
Respectfully, suburban guys want to use urban cores rent free. If people with cars actually paid anything close to market rates for the precious real estate they take up with their cars, then most of them would just walk/bike/bus in the city. Car drivers have the government on their side, so they get heavily subsidized real estate (roads, parking).

I don't think this treatment is very equal or fair. Keep your house and your car (SUV?), but pay real tolls and real parking fees.

The US managed to build cities and suburbs fine before car drivers got government priority.
You aren't "giving them" your business. They don't want your business if you don't have a membership.

It would be like saying I'm not giving Netflix anymore of my business since they won't let me use my dad's password.
How are tax dollars supposed to help prevent the need for commutes? By subsidizing remote work? I truly cannot follow the logic, curious to hear what you mean.

Public transport has been proven time and time again by numerous studies to be one of the best investments of tax money around. Just take a look at the absolute mess of a traffic situation that basically the entire Los Angeles metro area experiences, a direct result of no useful public transport system.
Can you elaborate? I don't see any issue at all.
There are multiple alternatives, this is just one particular dystopia you’ve foreseen.

Capitalism can be effectively regulated and often is, and as a system it only works effectively due to the presence of regulated markets.
So it should be easier to find unpopulated, cheap land to build lines on between population centers, yeah?
> marked "no-GIL compatible"

Ugh, Nomenclature is hard

Because non-GIL compatible doesn't mean GIL incompatible
How did you arrive at "women in tech" as a niche from the parent comment? It doesn't mention this. And I agree, women in tech hasn't been a niche political cause for at least 10-15 years, possibly longer.
So you were not a member and tried to use their services but they gave you a hard time? That's like getting kicked out of Disneyland using someone else's ticket and complaining that they're not taking your business. Costco makes the bulk of their profit from membership fees so you not getting to use their members-only service is exactly what they want to enforce.
To avoid having to use crappy UIs and apps from random OEMs. And to get updates directly from Google.

I never wanted "Google compatible" phone like an IBM compatible PC. Just like the Wintel ecosystem, Android fragmented into chaos. Pixels are the only way to get a Google phone now without all the third party bloat and crapware.
I was curious too so I checked Wikipedia [1].

Apparently, angstrom was invented exactly for measuring light wavelength.

Its (arguably more common today?) usage for atoms and other microscopic structures actually came after that.

Costco is great.

Hi William, nice to hear from you. We mention Cython at our front page (at the bottom): https://lpython.org/, together with the other 23 Python compilers that I know about (all of them are competitors, in a way). I am very familiar with Cython from about 10 years ago, but I have not followed the very latest developments. We can do a compilation time and runtime speed benchmarks against Cython in the next blog post. :)
Are you saying that each service would need to declare, separately, the subset of fields they operate on, and make sure that those fields are always a strict subset of the overall set of fields the protocol contains?

This essentially means declaring the same protocol multiple times, which seems like a big pain.
People find a similar thing (with boats rather than trains) quite useful for smaller distances (see the Washington state ferry system), so it is not obvious that it would not be useful with trains.
On the other hand, it's uncannily similar to former FCC chairman Ajit Pai discarding public commentary as "fake" in favor of whatever the lobbyists shoved in front of him during the whole net neutrality thing a few years back.

As the expression goes: It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends upon them not understanding it.
If it's the same backend handling multiple chained requests that happen to use the same database, it could in turn build a single big SQL query to generate the result(s). I used to write stuff like this all the time (not specifically Cap'n Proto servers, but general functional expression -> SQL -> here's your answer engines).
I wish I liked reader mode, I just can’t get into it. I like how each website looks different. It adds variety to the web. Otherwise everything is just too homogenous.
Why does there need to be a balance? Wyoming is considered the most Republican state. Do people there talk about there needing to be more balance?
> Who listens to music any more? That is, focuses primarily on the music, while not doing anything else. Most "listening" today is timepass while driving, or walking around wearing iDweebs. Sure, there are the people who read The Absolute Sound and buy overpriced audio cables. They're under 1% of the customer base, and they mostly listen to classical, anyway.

Me. Sure, occasionally other people put on musak and I'm forced to have that distracting background noise to whatever I'm trying to do, but when I listen to music by choice, I'm listening to music and that's it. Maybe if there's someone else there I'll talk about the music while listening to it. I don't generally listen to music while driving because it's distracting, although I'll acquiesce to a passenger who wants to listen to music.

And no, I don't listen to classical music or buy overpriced audio cables (I don't buy audio cables of any kind). Cheap wired headphones are generally adequate to capture all the sound a FLAC file can produce, and I tend to think that people who do more than that aren't audiophiles as much as audio gearheads. Which is fine, but it's not about the music it's about the equipment. Sound canceling might have some value, but I prefer to simply listen to music in a quiet place.
It wouldn’t help with kinetic energy harvesting from the raindrops as that would go into the funnel as heat.

It might provide a way to harvest the remaining gravitational potential energy of the rain (possible funnel being your roof and guttering) but the only upside is that you could concentrate the energy with something that’s already there (and hence harvest over a smaller area). The amount of energy (and hence value) available would be even lower - unless you had a really high roof.

This is also the reason I abandoned my high school scheme of hydro turbines at the bottom of downpipes.

As the comments below say - you need to be working at the scale of a few major geographic features as a funnel before it starts to get really interesting.
Really? When I first got a fountain pen in school my cursive handwriting experience was far, far better both for me and for my poor teachers.
The age of this article is very apparent with the continued discussion of Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods. If that was supposed to be a massive shock to the grocery business it is a long time in coming. Most people forgot it even happened with how little it changed the world.
It wasn't a suggestion, they were asking a question.
Why is 90 minutes the magic number? For example lots of people commute from New Haven to New York City, where the train ride alone is 90+ minutes.
Different with Netflix, you don't buy actual products that they also profit on.
It wasn't Remdesivir that they were limiting the distribution of. It was Regeneron. They gave Trump both but then only distributed Remdesivir, which has a much worse safety profile than (for instance) ivermectin.

My sister got Remdesivir, which the bureaucrats swore worked, and died. It damages renal function badly.
> you can do nothing about it

there is plenty we can do, but we have to give up some "comforts"
I honestly didn't know they were enforcing the rule because it had worked just fine before. I had no attitude or thinking I was special, I just got immediately screamed at.
Do y'all have a first past the post system?

I feel like the ads are an artifact of this + the two parties. They aren't meant to convince the public, they are meant to convince the very tiny demographics that will actually swing stuff in our all-or-nothing primary + general elections.
Enjoyed reading this too. Added Termination Shock to my reading list.
JS modules are great, but the problem isn't the size of the codebase or the bandwidth available, it's the latency, which you AFAIK can't test for in browsers. 5 chain-dependent files with 200 ms RTT once around the planet adds a second of load time. Sure, you can add a CDN, but for low traffic websites you'll end up with latency spikes due to cache misses.
Six years ago, my coworker said he'd never see BART reach Santa Clara County in his lifetime. That changed in either 2017 (with Warm Springs opening) or 2020 (with Milpitas and Berryessa opening). He was surprised, too.
Basically someone needs to modify the rim of the toilet so air to be pulled in internally and expelled via a duct and automatic fan outside.

There might be a body of historical purely Japanese scientific research, but I know some Japanese physicists who all speak English well enough, and have heard others on podcasts who do also. It would be serevely limiting to not speak English when that is the language of modern science. I don’t know how far back you would have to go to find monolingual scientists but I would guess several decades at least.
Are snapshot tests the things that fail because they can't tell "background-color: #ff0000" and "background-color:#f00" are the same?
I find it hard to believe that they don't profit on their products at least a bit. Certainly there are some they don't get a profit on, but it wasn't like I was in there just buying a cheap tv and walking out... I was buying regular stuff.
eye roll I knew there would be some pedantic that would come along with this and I should have self edited to make it clear I was talking about square miles - which is why I included BOTH WA and OR which is especially relevant given that the article dreams about connecting not only WA and OR but also BC. Pop doesn't matter and neither does density for this subject. Every pissant village in Europe has a bus route, street car, or milk run train that will connect you to wider transit options. My only way to get to Seattle is a 12 hour (!!) Greyhound, a 4.5 hour car ride, or a $200 plane ticket.
The issue what that is I have no idea what his focus is and how does it help you determine whether I would be a good hire for your company to know I did C (and FORTRAN) in the 90s?

Also, I think if you'll look at the numbers you'll find most of the casualties from Fall 2020 onward got Remdesivir. It was the "standard of care."

There's a powerful lesson in here somewhere.

Music is a commodity. It's easier than ever to make it. The fact that the most popular music tends to be very simple. I'm of two minds on the situation, I think more people could play music at home and it shouldn't be the purview of mega stars, but at the same time I'd like to see artists be able to have a good life. I met a couple of guys in a band, I like their music. One world as a music tutor, the other is our grocery delivery driver. There's no money in the music.

There's been quite a lot of building around Northgate, Othello and Columbia City. I'm surprised there hasn't been more upzoning at Rainier Beach, though - maybe displacement concerns on the part of planners
It would be remarkable for a lot of businesses, but given that it’s just a new Instagram feature, double digit million users long term would be an abject failure for Meta. Other new-ish Instagram features like Stories and Reels now have DAUs into the billions. Still time to right the ship, of course.

Also, keep in mind this is Threads “2.0”. Threads was first launched in 2019[1]. As such, it may even be a stretch to call it new. They have taken several years to test the market and iterate on that earlier MVP to finally find a fit that found up to ~100 million users. Not exactly an overnight success.

Mojo is vaporware for now, they still don't support classes. There are many other issues, but good luck finding a meaningful size python codebase with zero classes.

How quick is 'quickly'? Going through the similar motions here, nearing towards the end of the MMO's current cycle of content.
I can't figure out how to actually read this. Is there a pdf or something?
Sometimes I wish transit development was... Less community oriented and more build it and they will come. It's frustrating watching them waffle back and forth while things stall.

Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing.
Being crushed by Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods certainly didn’t come to pass, that seemed to be the big threat this slide deck was discussing, no doubt in response to some talking heads over on the financial channels who’s hair was on fire because Amazon was going to outcompete all grocery stores and drive them out of business, even Costco.
Threads now has a “following” tab - and most importantly, so far, it hasn’t randomly switched back to the “for you” tab.
GP would probably be better if they didn't default to snark / derision by calling it cat hearding.
I’ve read a biography on him. He was definitely an asshole. But tbh he’s nothing comparable to someone like an Elon. Jobs fired people unceremoniously, but he didn’t buy a huge tech company and fire 2/3rds of staff and make them work weekends and holidays to get things working again. Jobs was shitty to his daughter, but if you learn about how he was disowned as a child it all starts to make sense. Not that what he did was excusable, but it’s not quite “americas greatest asshole”
He got all the liberals to buy EVs, now he's trying to convince all the MAGAs that EV's aren't for simps. It's 1D chess.
> But the "free speech absolutists" who used to bark about this are nowhere to be seen.

Anti censorship absolutism is a dream. The idea is that if you just pull back the moderation barriers, the surpressed truth will pour out like a flood.

But... It does not. Maybe you get some interesting niche commentary like you very, very rarely find on 4chan, but mostly you get a cesspool in a bubble. But the negative results do not kill the dream.
Comedic, philosophical content. Also I’m one of the writers. https://touchingtips.substack.com

However, everyone is the hero of their own story - even those boogeymen thought they were doing some form of good in their sophistry. The WEI devs apparently do too.
I like the piece because it's research-based. I did a study of a rail plan based on "Local incorporated cities get together and divide up the political pie, thereby leaving out essential entities that weren't municipalities, and then hired a consultant to pick the best rail locations for each city that had already been granted a rail station based on political jockeying."

Suffice it to say, political jockeying did not exactly pick optimal sites for the county in question.
Yeah, but more in the CS world and specifically with ML. There are still plenty of CS groups that don't make their source available.

We put this sentence there to drive the point home that LPython competes with C++, C and Fortran in terms of speed. The internals are shared with LFortran, and LFortran competes with all other Fortran compilers, that traditionally are often faster than C++ for numerical code. I've been using Python for over 20 years and it's hard for me to imagine that writing Python could actually be faster than Clang/C++, somehow I always think that Python is slow. Right now we are still alpha and sometimes we are slower than C++. Once we reach beta, if an equivalent C++ or Fortran code is faster than LPython, then it should be a bug to report.
Its their model. Its discussed in TFA too.

It’s really hard to see a language barrier affecting the sample synthesis instructions. It’s a few short paragraphs of “mix two things together and put them in the oven.”
Manhattan is sort of a special case and I can tell you from personal experience that 90 minutes is pretty bad even if a lot of it is spent on a train. I commuted into Boston a few days a week when it was about 90 minutes door to door and IMO it was not sustainable. If I go into my downtown office now which I do rarely it’s 2 hours.

That some people are forced into super-commutes now and then doesn’t make it a really sustainable most days situation. So you’re up by 6am or earlier and you’re not getting home until 8pm or later depending on your work hours.
That's plausible, apparently the Steam Deck is being used in Ukraine as a fire control computer. For what, I'm not sure, but probably drones and possibly things like the STUGNA-P.
