I was looking for something like this. Thanks.

For digging, in the hardest dirt I use a mattock/adze style tool (adze on one end, pick on the other). In more reasonable dirt a "grub hoe", and finally a flat shovel in the softest of stuff.

For moving dirt, a big scooping shovel (think snow scooping); the "american standard" hoe is for shaping dirt on the ground (a rake for dirt).
Thanks this also gave another reason why they didn't use a dict for configuration

“Bundling” can be anticompetitive but is not at issue in the actual case the government has filed. Nor can I personally identify a meaningful bundle from google in the right sense. You may be using the word informally.
YAML is one of the most ambiguous formats out there, and definitely an overkill for what's needed to describe metadata.

JSON - not the most convenient to use for human beings, too much quoting, not too git friendly because of disallowed trailing commas, etc.

TOML sits somewhere inbetween, easy to write but the spec is very short; also being used in Rust and a few other places.

Please stop rewriting history. Read the comments left in this thread by actual Polish people that lived through this, and reconsider if that really was a good system to live in. Let's learn from history instead of throwing away lessons we've painfully learned.

Sincerely, a Polish person (by the way, I'm not a native speaker, but I believe "Polacks" is a derogatory term. I don't mind personally, but someone may be offended by the use of an ethnic slur. If that's not what you intended, "Poles" or "Polish people" are usually used instead).
So you're saying it's perfectly fine for someone to use any class from any library (including the standard library) and define their own "implementation" private methods for such classes, that then access implementation details of that class?
How is that even protection against Murphy? (who sees other examples of such things and assumes that's just the "done thing").

For me, knowing that I can change the implementation details of a class and it having no possible impact on whether other code compiles or how it behaves (assuming I maintain the same "public" behaviour) is absolutely a fundamental language feature. All I'm arguing for is that compilers should be able to make the same assumption - only the private implementation details have changed, so it's unnecessary to recompile other code that happens to include the header file defining some of those implementation details.

I know that many smaller therapists use Zoom for exactly the reasons you mentioned above - ease of use. They often don't have the technical know-how to assess the technology they're using.

The UK, for example, has hundreds of private mental health practitioners (therapists, psychologists, etc.) that provice their services directly to clients. They almost universally use off-the-shelf technology for video calling, messaging, and reporting.
Texas produces around 2.5x as much electricity as California does, so producing double the amount of renewable energy actually suggests they are behind in converting to renewables.

The US average is about 39% of electricity from renewables. Texas is at 33%. California is at 49%. (Best is Vermont at over 99%, South Dakota at 83%, and Washington at 82%).

In terms of CO2 Mt/TWh the US is 402, Texas is slightly worse at 428, California is 229, and the best are Vermont at 5, Washington at 100, New Hampshire at 131, Oregon at 143, and South Dakota at 145.

Note these figures are just electricity generated in state. For Texas that's almost all their electricity. For California around 20-30% of their electricity is imported from other states, including a lot of renewable electricity from Washington and Oregon.

Also different states use a different mix of energy sources. What might be done with electricity in one place might be done with natural gas in another place. If we want to compare states on renewable energy use it is probably more accurate to look at renewables as a percentage of total energy use.

The top three by that metric are Washington at nearly 50%, South Dakota at 43%, and Maine at 38%. California is at 16.5% and Texas is at 8.5%.

I'm tempted to get an email address of dot@dotatio.io, but I know that'd be setting $36 on fire.
The more fundamental problem here is that Texas is one of the leading states in solar and wind power generation, even as a % of total utility power. The peak pricing is in large part intended to incentivize this, so that power sources (like solar) which are not 24x7 but do produce during peak times, make enough money to incentivize more. Which is working, as we see in the ever-increasing % of solar power, far ahead of most other states and pulling away.

The primary reason for peak power increases in Texas is that the population is increasing fast in the last few years. Climate change surely doesn't help, but the primary thing that has changed in the last few years is that we use a whole lot LESS oil and coal than we used to, and we have a whole lot more people than we used to.

Well, with a single json file I can pull it into my text editor (Sublime) and do find and replace (and it's a little nicer than find in all files) and I can do things like code block folding, and probably others Im forgetting. Also, I'm not sure how to `jq` across 2000 files but how to with one json file. I've also heard that the filesystem is not a great place to store larger amounts of files like, say, 500k records?

My "memex" tries to use well-known abstractions so that I can do certain tasks in other programs until my "memex" can do it. That and because for quite a few operations, I'd like to simply mount the window of a separate program into my "memex" as a sort of window manager (but deeply integrated with the other stuff the "memex" does, like data and tab management) instead of trying to remake such monolithic, decently-built programs

FHIR is about as far from what I'd call a standard as you can get. Each individual country/region/hospital/department/lab can define "profiles" that configure the data to their specific use case and no-one else's. Not exactly the aim of a standard in the usual computing sense.
My first thought was "this would never work, there is so much science being published and not enough resources to replicate it all".

Then I remembered that my main issue with modern academia is that everyone is incentivized to publish a huge amount of research that nobody cares about, and how I wish we would put much more work into each of much fewer research directions.
I think "easy for humans to edit" is where I mostly disagree with. To this day I have not worked with anyone that understood the .toml format.

If you can't even replicate it yourself, what makes you think peers could? We are talking about something not being replicated, not even by the original author. The most extreme version would be something that you could only get to run once on the same machine, and never on any other machine.
Clearly, these are all tied up together. The gap between a Dutch man and a Bantu man was not merely defined by colonialism, as you well know. And gender relations defined each of those peoples day to day life far more than interactions with representatives of each other.

But I still do not know the point of your comment. Is it to suggest that gender relations was not a big factor in the past?

I doubt it. I've worked days and nights at different times in the same place, at a couple of jobs in different parts of the country. There's a real difference between what people are like in the daytime and nighttime worlds, and between people who are at home in the latter and those who are just visiting.

The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is very much a build of OpenJDK that Azure customers can get free support for and over time get some Azure specific performance benefits from. Those performance benefits will be worked on upstream as well (like this escape analysis patch was) but there will be times where upstream won't want to take a patch on a stable LTS branch for example. We'll continue to be very clear when we have a patch that is not in the upstream code and it'll always be available on our GitHub under the GPLv2+CE license.
Advertising is not intrinsically evil but mix an incompetent and captured political class with the surveillance and personal targeting possibilities opened by fast moving information technology (the advent of the web and mobile) and you get the closest approximation to dystopia that has ever existed: Surveillance Capitalism [1], as first defined and analyzed by Zuboff.

People have normalized that an advertiser is the technology gatekeeper for the vast majority of web users and enjoying an unassailable duopoly in mobile. People have normalized being the product and not the client.

Yet this is not normal. It is a farcical, grotesque parody of how a non-dystopic digital economy should be structured. Advertising intermediaries should not control general purpose information technologies that vast numbers of people rely on. This is a job for ring-fenced and properly regulated technology companies. It is incredible to have come that, but its now obvious that the much despised Microsoft monopoly of yesteryear was a far more benign condition, being actually a monopoly facing client users and within the tech sector proper.

The world has paid a heavy price for this regulatory abnormality. Counterfactuals are hard to make concrete but there is at least a decade of stagnation, productivity loss and value destruction across the technology space from the lack of competition and innovation. Beyond economics, this will be a defining moment for the shape and nature of digital society. You can't resolve any of the brewing disruptions (digital finance, AI) when there is such commingling of conflicting interests, so much hypocrisy, such systemic, large scale breach of trust.

Yes, it works in practice. The trouble is more with the customers than the vendor. Some customers are still using obsolete versions that are missing the latest standards-based open interoperability features. Or they just haven't enabled those features.

> This is a dangerous abductive leap

I think I could make a plausibly convincing argument that the rate of abuse is low enough that the damage to police<->public relationship from media playing up these incidents has actually led to a more dangerous situation than the incidents themselves.

Not quite ready to go there, but I think it's worth at least considering that everyone can fall prey to media hype and blow little things entirely out of proportion, leading to a worse overall outcome. We do want to improve oversight of the police, but making them out as a public enemy seems like it might be counterproductive.

FPUs in the early x86 family are weird. They were typically on separate chips so you could have an 8088+8087, 80286+287, 80286+287XL (which was actually a 80387), 80386+387 (SX and DX models for 24 or 32 bit bus), 80386+287[1], 80386 or 486+Weitek[2], 80386+Weitek+387, 80486SX+80487 where the co-processor was a full CPU that disabled the main chip. And then there were the clones doing creative things such as the Nx586+587[3] which because of it's lack of on-board FPU was often confused for a 386 by software and lost the advantage of its Pentium ops.

So I'm not surprised the exception handler is a mess. It's a domain built entirely out of corner-cases.

The “fire in a crowded theater” is an oft cited example that highlights this point. The phrase is a paraphrasing of a dictum from an opinion in Schenck v. United States, which held that the defendant's speech in opposition to the draft during World War I was not protected by the First Amendment.

Holmes argued, "the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent."

It’s a great example of how governments abuse these powers to silence inconvenient speech.

From child pornography to robocalls, I’d suggest that you don’t need “speech” to be a crime - though it’d be convenient to many pro-censorship arguments if it were.

The production of pornography without consent is illegal and is not speech. The production and possession of child pornography is a crime. Transmission requires both, which are already crimes. Possession with intent to distribute and the distribution of this content are already crimes.

You don’t need a carve out for sending these over TCP/IP conflating it with speech any more than you need a carve out for sending the photos through the U.S. postal service. It was a crime before you sent the photos, still a crime after. Free speech doesn’t wash the crime away and you don’t need to ask us to give up free speech to charge them with a crime.
Yes, as I understand it, the long-running political tension between ERCOT and FERC primarily has to do with rate and transmission agreement regulations, not environmental regulation.

That said, FERC actually does have a fairly substantial environmental regulation function in that they handle NEPA matters for electrical initiatives triggered by federal policy. So avoiding FERC regulation may avoid having to complete NEPA process (e.g. EIS) in some cases, but it doesn't help with requirements under Clean Air Act/Clean Water Act, which are typically the more onerous for power plants.

the thing that has to be kept in mind is mitigating environmental concerns for duration of the structure.

you must build to prevent capillary uptake of water from the ground with a break of noncapillary material. if the structure is of substantial weight there must be load path, and that may require foundation, or soils amendment, this in turn will then require proper swaleing and drainage.

drip stopping would be required to direct water off of the building where any openings or convergent features occur, and ice dams jams must be preented with design consideration for shedding snowmelt

My experience with dentists in France has always been good, but as I moved to the US I noticed that suddenly I was having cavities, suddenly floss was important (when studies say that they don't add any value), suddenly I had to take X-rays every 6 months, suddenly I was being pushed on doing aesthetic changes, suddenly I was seeing insane bills that had no connection with the service I was getting.

I'm convinced that regulators should take a look at (ortho)dentists in the US, it's one of the most scammy group of people.

> Humans can perform math. Computers can perform math. No one would claim that's evidence computers think like humans or vice versa.

But we would very sensibly claim that computers can think like humans when suitably programmed, and humans can compute like computers. And the claim here is that learning the relationships between words is an understanding of language, and natural language reflects certain kinds of human cognition, and mimicking that output from the same input is mimicking that cognition.

> I'm going to make this very clear: there is absolutely no evidence that supports this claim. Period.

Again, that's incorrect. In what other science could you produce a model that nearly 100% accurately reproduces what the system being modelled would generate, and people would insist on saying that that doesn't really model the operation of that system? Inconsistent standards of evidence IMO.

In any case, There have been a few studies demonstrating strong correlations in activation patterns between the human brain and neural networks. These are correlations, but correlations are evidence.

Furthermore, I think you're failing to understand the argument. Human languages were invented by humans. They are necessarily suited to the human mind, reflecting some fundamental structure and operation of the human brain.

It would be a fairly dramatic coincidence if other, random formal systems were well suited to reproducing natural language. In fact, the most obvious inference is that LLMs are likely inferring semantic models that encapsulate how humans categorize and think, which is why LLMs can translate text between human languages. This would not be possible if languages did not have a common underlying semantic structure.
> Simply "hereby grant" should suffice.

Not necessarily — in some circumstances, the law might not recognize a present-day grant of an interest that doesn't exist now but might come into being in the future. (Cf. the Rule Against Perpetuities. [1])
