"Age of climate change and wildfires". As-if that's what's going on here...

Kids these days will never know the struggle of having to search for libraries that were not just in your language, but also could interop with your inane monkey-patching-based concurrency model of choice. Python used to be an absolutely horrendous language for anything involving concurrency, nearly as bad as ruby. Anyways, long live asyncio.
There's a map of areas that would be flooded by rising sea levels:
https://www.therakyatpost.com/living/2019/11/06/9-msian-citi...

These are coincidentally the same areas that get flooded every other year. Some are very developed areas. The city council gets blamed for flash floods. But I don't expect a bunch of bureaucrats to be able to fight off Mr Nimbus.

So when we bought a house, we made sure to avoid these areas. I don't think we're the only ones. The areas on higher ground were more expensive, even the less developed ones. I expect land prices to shoot up over the next 50 years as people get displaced from major cities.
Fair enough. Meditation and even prayer certainly don't need to be associated with religion. Funnily enough, meditation is explicitly mentioned in the Bible, so it's confusing why more Christians choose to solely focus on prayer. If meditation is about understanding yourself, and prayer is about causing effect in the world, meditation seems the best way to operationalize Jesus' words about removing the plank from your own eye before the speck in your neighbor's.

It seems to me that both prayer and meditation are related to the notion of a Higher Power. Whether that power ranges from rebalancing the autonomic nervous system to letting God take charge, meditation and prayer are fundamentally about a conscious connection to the Unseen.

Yeah, though I consider lying a moral issue, it’s like no one should expect an honest answer to a deceptive question.

I always have an answer that is locked and loaded 20-40% more than what I’m actually making and generally ask for about 20% more than that. I’ve bumped my pay over $100k in 5 years doing that. Keep in mind I also refuse to work for FAANG-y companies.

It's not answering quite the question you asked, but Shannon - who invented much of this stuff - has some really nice practical arguments in the start of his amazing paper that introduced "information theory" [1]. It's a really readable paper, much less intimidating than you might think, and worth a look.

Hartley was (as far as I know) the first person to recognise the usefulness of log probabilities in the context of measuring information [2]. It's a really amazing paper, for several reasons ... but one thing that really strikes me about it is how it's aged: the first half has an essentially timeless presentation of the essence of information, and the second has a now-quite-irrelevant presentation of how to make a better TV. I guess that was the really interesting problem at the time!

Other watchmakers have made very different design tradeoffs to produce better battery life. A base mode Garmin will happily run for over a week. The fancy models over a month. They still have great tracking and notification features. Might be worth a look when your current hardware no longer meets your needs.

Explicitly trying not to pile on the “let me tell you how to manage your notifications” train by the way! That’s up to you and yours. Just nerding out on smartwatches.
Yes because I dont like clouds. But I truly dislike any second I have LibreOffice open. It feels slow, clunky, ugly, non-native on Linux and it is generally not a fun, stable nor feature full enough piece of software for a very light user like myself.

I mean, I chose to learn LaTeX rather than having to put up with LO for a simple rich text document.

The sad thing is that the other non-Office alternatives are even worse in their own way. Word processors are like browsers, huge, complex, requiring a ton of compatibility subsystems, yet without the massive corporate backing actual browsers have. So there's only Microsoft, and a lot of small players that would have to spend literal billions to reach 50% of the power and polish of Office. Word processors are basically living fossils, relics of a bygone era.

It's sad, really, because people still need to write documents and spreadsheet, but no sane company will seriously try to enter this space ever again.

I'll go on a limb and share a counter-point for why I struggle with diagrams: it's anecdotal but might help someone else accept that diagrams are not for everyone.

As someone with aphantasia, they don't help me memorize relationships, so to get them into my working memory, I have to translate a diagram into bullet points: it's so much easier just to start with those bullet points of what components we've got, what they consist of and what relationships they have (you know, just like code itself).

And having done theoretical (read: abstract) maths too, that's good enough for me to work with complex and intricate relationships.

I still understand that it's not like that for most everybody else, but for some minority of us, they are just a bad way to write text/thoughts out as the graphical layout has no benefits. Yes, you do learn to read and create them, but it's an extra effort that you do for others' benefit.
Yes and no.

Yes, I get that winter lasts for months and agree that you can't possibly store enough energy in chemical batteries to cover it all.

However, demand peaks by definition occur only for short periods, and shaving those peaks reduces the need for grid infrastructure compared to what you would need otherwise.

Yeah, never gonna happen. The same reason browsers support broken markup: users are much happier when their browser works in the face of noncompliant sites than if it were to throw its hands up and say “this site doesn't work, use <other browser>”

> So, the emergency sirens weren't used

They weren't used because the website [1] specifically says that in the event of a siren you should "if you in a low laying area near the coastline; evacuate to high grounds, inland".

This would directly route people towards the fire not away. And given that tsunamis can sometimes trigger fire it easily could have caused confusion in some.

It definitely wasn't a clear decision as some like to make out.

War is the most costly when a government cannot fund it through debt and inflation. Nations used to go bankrupt waging war when precious metals were money. Now, they can defer the financial consequences approximately indefinitely, at least until we discover the straw the breaks the camel's back (IMO this is when debt servicing cost overtakes all other expenses and starts to consume more wealth than economic output).

Thanks. So even chewy compute operations (parsing a big html page then running a complicated xpath against it) are ok? What would be an example of blocking - is it just network io? Presumably file io too?

Update: I think I’m conflating a bit what I want to speed up with what is allowed. Presumably heavy compute stuff is perfectly compatible with asyncio but it won’t speed it up - it would speed up a lot of io operations. ThreadPoolExecutor can speed up heavy compute by parallelizing (if it’s heavy enough) but may be overkill for just downloading 20 web pages at once.
Squabblr – A social media platform that combines Twitter/Reddit
Hey everyone,

I've created a social media platform that lets your "tweet," but also have in-depth conversations with Reddit (and Hacker News) style commenting system. This allows you to tweet short blurbs of whatever you're thinking, or create long posts and have better and more in-depth conversations.

We launched a few weeks ago following Reddit's API apocalypse and I'm currently working on outreach.

The website is built with Laravel, Vue.js, MySQL. It runs on the DigitalOcean cloud.

Would love to answer any questions you might have!

> "There are currently people still fighting in our state giving us water access to fight and prepare for fires even as more storms arise"

I don't know what this sentence even means.

I guess there are small farmers who think the big landowners should suffer small fire, rather than using up scarce water that they want. I guess that's a reasonable position, as long as the fires are small.
I do find it somewhat plausible the explanation that sounding the sirens could cause people to seek higher ground when that was basically the worst thing they could do.
I switched from gsuite to LO a while back for the vast majority of my personal documents. TBH I miss some of Sheets, but on balance I prefer having less of my data in cloud providers' hands.
This is a well-known conservative website complaining that their right-wing viewpoint isn't being adequately disseminated. They're trying to chime in on the drummed-up "scandal" that tries to accuse Joe Biden of hanky-panky. Unfortunately for them, there's precious little evidence for any of their claims, so they resort to blaming the media for somehow blocking the "story."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Federalist_(website)
No. The priority is to save lives.

Using water to help isolate an area that is used for evacuation is much more important than saving a few houses which are likely to be insured and can be simply rebuilt.
> fun fact, Apache ran 50% of websites in 2009, by 2022 this share fell below 25%.

Funny, I would have expected the 2009 number to be higher, and the 2022 number to be (much) lower. Apache ain't doing bad, as it turns out.
None of these rulebook cases are. It's clear that some of the risks here were real, but it's also likely some of them are hypothetical. This will be argued out for a long time.

What often happens is the rulebook is amended. Add a new siren-tone, modify the instructions to turn on a radio or TV and get more specific advice, something changes, to reflect the new understanding.

Or not. Sometimes, you can't fix this. The sirens are for tsunamis and some other system is needed for wildfires.

Which risk do you think is more likely, and more consequential in the medium to short term? I don't know, I don't have the answers here. But I do believe, people in Lahaina probably wanted to be alerted, somehow to the risk.

Yes. It's absolutely plausible.
I love safari, I find its UI leaps and bounds ahead of other browsers (with brave a close second).
I believe it should be parsed as:

"DLNR delayed releasing water (requested by West Maui Land Co. to help prevent the spread of fire)"

not

"(DLNR delayed releasing water requested by West Maui Land Co.) to help prevent the spread of fire"
YES… my god those were annoying.
neat.

that's pretty much what i had in mind, but only for a single rename.

i just did a search and embarrassingly discovered imv which is part of the renameutils package which also contains qmv, a tool to batch rename lots of files by loading the list into an editor. embarrassed because qmv is my favourite tool for batch renaming, and so i have it already installed.

imv is exactly what i am looking for, for the single file rename case: "The imv ("interactive move") program, is trivial but useful when you are too lazy to type (or even complete) the name of the file to rename twice. It allows a file name to be edited in the terminal using the GNU Readline library."

so we can consider this problem solved.

back to alternative shells: i am just spoiled by fish (no the fish isn't spoiled): autosuggestion and non-incremental search like fish are a requirement for me to consider any other shell now.

btw: autosuggestion for elvish is being discussed here: https://github.com/elves/elvish/issues/322 and apparently it has some of that search feature too (from a comment): "type the beginning of a command and press Up and cycle through all the commands that start with the string I typed."

i am going to have to try that.
That's the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.
You can reproduce that example with slog verbatim by changing zap to slog.

For example: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/slog#example-Group
Sure.

Carla: https://github.com/falkTX/Carla

It lets me install any normal audio pro audio plugins, for example https://github.com/xiph/rnnoise

It also does some cable management, but qpwgraph is maybe better for that.

I looked at your code and the approach (IMO) is kind of bad.

If you want to solve the problem of "voice changer", you can skip the UI entirely and just use plugin parameters. You can also skip the problem of managing the connections. And when you publish your work, every pro audio software (Ableton, Reaper, whatever) can use your audio processing.

Hope that helps.

Elsewhere in this thread you're talking about birth certificates being voluntary (they're not). How are you proving citizenship for your passport without one?
Doesn't really make up for the fact that nuclear is 6x more expensive than solar. I really think synthfuels or all the hydrogen stuff going on (or the CO2 --> propane story also on the board today) will far outperform nuclear in grid leveling/storage.

Nuclear simply needs a reset to figure out how to make it economical. I love nuclear power in theory, there is simply so many more orders of magnitude of energy density and long life that it has to be viable somehow.

Again, I'm in favor of keeping the current nuclear plants operational. But build out a substantial new build of nuclear plants? Absolutely not. Research reactors, long term R&D / national laboratory projects on advanced nuclear? 100% support it, to the tune of a billion per year or more.
I still use it for some things here and there, but most of the time when I want to write a document or spreadsheet, I either a) want to share it with other people, or b) keep it private, but be able to access it from more than one device. So, Google Docs it is, unfortunately.
> Which law in which State?

Leading with Washington, where I reside and work as a healthcare provider...

RCW 70.58A.100 (https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=70.58A&full=tru...)

Specifically subsection 5:

> For an unattended live birth not reported under subsection (4) of this section, a report of live birth and an affidavit stating the facts of the birth must be filed with the department within ten calendar days of the live birth.

(whereby unattended means 'with no healthcare provider, midwife, or facility representative present or applicable'.)

(For bonus, RCW 70.58A.120 captures "delayed reporting of a live birth" and the "establishing of facts" around the birth.)

> How would they know for home birth

I was going to offer the comparison to driving, where "they" don't know you're driving without a license until there is some form of or need for government interaction. But I fear this will lead to some comment about traveling versus driving.

> and would they arrest the baby?

This is fatuous. "Depending on the state, the parents may be fined, charged with imprisonment, or have to face other legal consequences." (emphasis mine).
I hadn't even considered collecting traces/spans in this way yet, and have taken the approach of "stuff outputting logs in JSON format to stderr/local file". I usually end up writing a (temporary, structured) log message with the relevant span tags, but wouldn't it be much better to run the actual trace/span code and be able to verify it locally without the ad-hoc log message?

The prototype I built is a web application that creates websocket connections, and if those connections receive messages that are JSON, log lines are added. Columns are built dynamically as log messages arrive, and then you can pick which columns to render in the table. If you're curious here's the code, including a screenshot: https://github.com/corytheboyd-smartsheet/json-log-explorer

With websockets, it's very easy to use websocketd (http://websocketd.com), which will watch input files for new lines, and write them verbatim as websocket messages to listeners (the web app).

To make the idea real, would want to figure out how to not require the user to run websocketd out of band, but watching good ol' files is dead simple, and very easy to add to most code (add a new log sink, use existing log file, etc.)
There is no thickness (or it’s zero if you like). The deformations have to be continuous mathematical functions, so punching a hole isn’t possible.

The study is about the properties of (higher dimensional) shapes rather than concrete objects. It’s like asking what’s the thickness of a circle.
Is there anything to indicate they were deliberately acting against the interests of those affected, or is it just a lot of armchair quarterbacking. It's very easy to retrospectively judge people for decisions they had to make in a fog of war.
I believe the meaning is that the land company wanted water to prevent the spread of fire, and the DLNR delayed. From the rest of the article, the delay was because farms downstream had the right to use the water for agriculture.
Well, certainly, but just to be clear, I wasn't assuming you had 260K cash. I didn't add this in my original post, but a small business loan wouldn't be too hard to get to do something like this, and so there's little-to-no out-of-pocket risk on this kind of thing, and instead you'd just make a few grand a month. It's not passive income by any means, but at least you control your own destiny here.

Anyway, good luck. Hope you figure something out. :)
Google's Data Studio is pretty good as well—shame about the recent rename to "Looker Studio."

Reading his other comments on such, I agree. SSN is voluntary. Birth registration is voluntary (it's not). "Just get yourself a passport, that will work for ID".

How to obtain a US passport with neither a SSN nor a birth certificate is apparently left as an exercise for the reader...
I think you are joking, but if you want to, you can buy an adapter for like €10 that will go from magsafe to USB-C, and then indeed charge your non-Apple laptop with it.
> they let it to go live on a farm where all big projects go to die: The Apache Foundation.

There is another similar farm nearby named the Eclipse Foundation. Well, just like Apache, they have some projects which are very much alive; but, just as Oracle sent OpenOffice off to Apache's pastures, they similarly sent Hudson off to Eclipse's. Unlike OpenOffice, Hudson has already shuffled off to the great beyond; OpenOffice still clings to life, if barely.
So why is this case noteworthy enough for you to elaborate on?

If you don't come from a math-y background and are trying to "get into serious mathematics", the only way to do this is to get a PhD.

I realize this might come across as gatekeeping, but the reality is that each subfield of math (or any scientific discipline) has its own set of tactics for approaching problems, which have been developed over the years by the people actually in the trenches. These problem solving strategies and habits of mind aren't written up anywhere, and even if they were, they wouldn't be useful to read. The way you learn them is by getting the training that comes with a PhD: they are passed down as part of the mentoring process. It's not clear to me that it could happen any other way.

I think the right way to look at this is that someone getting a PhD is basically a "journeyman researcher", much like a journeyman in one of the trades. Unfortunately, this often goes sideways (particularly if an advisor is bad or if there aren't enough support systems). But much like the only way to become an electrician is to apprentice yourself, the same goes for becoming a researcher. I think this is for good reason.
