I will be a bit sloppy with my description here: There are two ways to "prove" thermodinamics. You can start from the axioms of probability and statistics *together* with an assumption that matter is made out of atoms or similar constituents, and you can derive, through statistical physics, most of thermodynamics. That is a perfectly reasonable and practical way to do it.

However, it is extremely valuable to also understand that the vast majority of thermodynamics (including our understanding of entropy) can be derived from completely independent axioms that have no relationship to information theory or the knowledge of discreteness of matter. You need to define temperature as an transitive observable (zeroth law of thermodynamics), you need to define heat as a type of energy (first law of thermodynamics), and you need some version of the second law (there are a few equivalent ones, but the easiest is that "heat flows only from high temperature to low temperature"). Lastly, you need equations of state as a starting point (instead of assumptions about the microscoping constituents of matter). Tadaaa, you have all that is necessary to derive all our knowledge of thermodynamics without knowing statistics or atoms.

Aesthetically this is incredibly pleasing and intellectually it is quite surprising that these two sets of axioms that look nothing alike produce the same self-consistent physics. To be productive in cutting edge research you usually need to be comfortable with both.

Edit: corrected associative -> transitive as pointed out below.
I keep coming back to things like you have a pedestrian on a street corner. What are they going to do? Are they just standing there or are they going to cross? Are they paying attention to their surroundings or not?

> Python is not a compiled language.

Python is (at least in the CPython implementation) compiled, to python byte code which runs on the python virtual machine.

Its not compiled to native code. (Unless you use one of the compilers which do compile it to native code, though they tend to support only a subset of python.)
I understood it fine, but thanks for the assumption.

It was put across in an asshole way, and bringing it up when it has no relevance to commiserating the loss of a great person and engineer, is an asshole move - autistic or not.

As others have said I’m not sure it’s right to say that all of the British coast is run down but there are a few common modes of failed places on the coast.

Fishing ports which now have few fishers left. Long term decline due to overfishing along with Brexit making it hard for them to sell their catch to markets in EU. Grimsby.

The Victorian seaside mass resorts that lost out to cheap foreign holidays. Blackpool.

Places like Cornwall which are full of second homes and outwardly look very nice but mask deep poverty as there is little affordable housing and few good jobs.

Also the definition of coastal is different in the UK, an island with nowhere more than 70 miles from the sea. Washington DC is 85 miles from the Atlantic but still populated by the ‘coastal elite’.
It’s a very curious way of doing things.

The result with this strategy is that you may need the companyName and end-up at some point with code that does back:

companyName = pageTitle

or worse:

companyName = pageTitle.split(‘ - ‘)[0]

Because there is a moment when you will need to get the companyName again for some comparison or some whatever logic (e.g. is selected account profile current company ?)

This feels very confusing.

Instead pass companyName and keep it that way until the very last moment that you display it on the page (e.g. when rendering the view/template)

Not super famliar with blazor, but something like this sounds like what I would consider the halfway point to the next paradigm. I think you have to go further in simplification of the back-end as well.
Well, it's quite simple.

The US and the other developed economies have a static energy consumption. More of the energy is produced by renewables. Solar grows by double digits each year, and wind grows less, but from a higher point. If you check the eia.gov site [1], you'll see that 60% comes from fossil fuel and 40% from nuclear + renewables. Wind and solar total about 10%. But the growth of wind and solar in one decade (2012-2022) was by a factor of 4.

China and India are still developing. Their energy use increases. They add a lot of renewables, but also a lot of coal. At some point they'll start reducing the coal, because the renewables will be more than capable of keeping up with increase in energy consumption.

You are grumbling that we put 1% more CO2 in the air. What exactly would you change?

Either give the VM a direct network port on your LAN or forward a port to its internal VM network.
I think it's totally reasonable to just blame this on Fugal, but Bigelow and Fugal are also not totally independent actors. At the time some felt that it was an arrangement to Bigelow's benefit, and Bigelow's ongoing involvement at the site seems to make that idea at least reasonable. But you could take the perspective that the monetization was an independent strategy of Fugal. Certainly they've taken different angles, and sideshows like TTSA show that the federal contractor approach is probably a better one than mass media. For my own part, I think that things have gone largely according to Bigelow's plan.

Ace, thanks, will see if there's stuff we can do with our client base - will be in touch :-)
I will try to answer to both points:
In the first article, I described how I fetched the picture by reading the virtual framebuffer. I have not any knowledge of what’s being drawn. All I have from the beginning is a 2.5Mb byte array.

I don’t use any jpeg compression anymore in this version

And my understanding is that the native client is transmitting the vector representation to the client and the client redraws it with the same algorithm. It is only doable if you know what algorithm they use. I did a small test to decode their format, but it may change more often than the format of the picture.

Does it provide you the answer?
(thanks for the conversation)
Static typing is the key differentiator.

That requires a level of bookkeeping which is helpful for large programs and a nuicense for small programs.

We are very fortunate to continually develop and tweak a brand new type of vaccine during a global pandemic, I agree. But why the quotation marks?
But they also framed it as simply a means to an end: "finding people so you can treat them."

I can sympathize with the "baseline for treating people" argument, but that, by itself, doesn't address the fact that there is a fundamental symmetry missing. If people want "freedom" they also need to demonstrate "responsibility" for a society to work. There is no free lunch, unfortunately. Literally every "baseline" right guaranteed by the US Constitution can be framed in this same give/take dynamic.

The OP was conflating the issue IMO. They are saying basic shelter isn't enough; people have a right to free housing with no strings attached. I think those are two very different mental frameworks to view this problem.
Pixel phones had exploit discovered last year where you could unlock any phone by entering the PUK code. You just replaced the SIM card with your own SIM for which you knew the PUK. Seems very easy to me.

More history of PostScript, JAM, InterPress, and John Warnock's vision of PostScript as a "Linguistic Motherboard":

Alan Kay on “Should web browsers have stuck to being document viewers?” and a discussion of Smalltalk, NeWS and HyperCard:

https://medium.com/@donhopkins/alan-kay-on-should-web-browse...

>Owen Densmore recounted John Warnock’s idea that PostScript was actually a “linguistic motherboard”. (This was part of a discussion with Owen about NeFS, which was a proposal for the next version of NFS to run a PostScript interpreter in the kernel. More about that here:)

>Window System? ..NeWS ain’ no stinkin’ Window System!
-or-
Swiss Army NeWS: A Programmable Network Facility, by Owen Densmore, Sun Microsystems, NeWS Team

>Introduction

>NeWS is difficult to understand simply because it is not just a window system. It is a “Swiss Army Knife” containing several components, some of which contribute to its use as a window system, others which provide the networking facilities for implementing the client-server model, all embedded in a programmable substrate allowing extremely flexible and creative combination of these elements.

>During the initial implementation phase of the Macintosh LaserWriter software, I temporarily transfered from Apple to Adobe working closely with John Warnock and other Adobe engineers. At lunch one day, I asked: “John, what do you plan to do after LaserWriter?” His answer was interesting:

>PostScript is a linguistic “mother board”, which has “slots” for several “cards”. The first card we (Adobe) built was a graphics card. We’re considering other cards. In particular, we’ve thought about other network services, such as a file server card.

>He went on to say how a programmable network was really his goal, and that the printing work was just the first component. His mentioning using PostScript for a file server is particularly interesting: Sun’s next version of NFS is going to use PostScript with file extentions as the client-server protocol!

Well, you suggested prophylactic exposure in early childhood (which is usually before any allergy is diagnosed and usually also before it is manifest):

> I suspect that in twenty years it will be standard to start infants on sublingual immunotherapy for all the common allergens (literally putting a tiny, strictly controlled amount of the allergens under the tongue once a day, simple as that) as a prophylactic

Also, even therapeuthic or diagnostic exposure can cause allergies, there is no safe exposure. Just safer and less safe.
>but rather than just the parts of physics that the author considers to be the most fundamental.

Fundamental is what "contains all of physics" means in this context (key word: contains). The rest would be emergent properties.

All of it, to the users who haven't seen it posted here before.
Right, I agree that it would be nice to have some way to request unaligned load/store to be permitted, alike -fwrapv for signed int wrapping. But nevertheless the UB behavior is a reasonable option that's beneficial for other things.
This is literally Marxism. Not similar to Marxism, but literally Marxism.
This approach would also be a nightmare if you ever decided to refactor the frontend. You'd be forced to do double the work since failing to update your backend would probably result in nonsensical legacy naming... I'd also dread to think what would happen if you also used the backend to serve a mobile app. You'd end up spending 40% of your time trying to figure out what to name fields before eventually going full circle and reverting back to logical generic names :|
The German Empire was a constitutional monarchy, like many European countries of the time. Even today, it's a common form of democratic government. Before the empire, most of the states that formed it were constitutional monarchies, while the free cities were republics. And while there were only three free cities left at the time, there used to be many more. In some cases, their republican form of government stretched back all the way to the middle ages, though usually in an oligarchic flavor.
Most of the time time BFF just means that instead of having the frontend call endpoints A, B, and C. It calls a single endpoint D, which calls A, B, and C and handles aggregating and transforming the data into the specific form the frontend needs.
That was one of the most enjoyable comments I've ever read on HN.
Do random reads and writes out more stress on the drive mechanism? I’m wondering if this increase in resliver time adds risk of data loss, which is probably the more important factor than clock time. (But I’m open to learning if I am wrong)
I only recently became aware of her, but she was awesome. She'll be missed.
Ah but that is really really expensive :)

I can get a local SIM with 50GB data that is available with a 10 euro topup each month.

Don't forget the purchasing power in Europe is much lower than in the US (especially southern Europe). For this reason local carriers are a lot cheaper too.
The problem is that what the machine does isn't necessarily consistent. If you're using old-as-the-green-hills integer instructions then yes, the CPU supports unaligned access. If you want to benefit from the speedup afforded by the latest vector instructions, now it suddenly it doesn't.

Also, to be fair, GCC does appear to back off the optimisations when dealing with, for example, a struct with the packed attribute.
> What’s the point of an array-based language if it’s slower and harder to write than the equivalent in mainstream languages!?

How many times would you throw away a 1000 line program and start over with completely different data structures and algorithms, just to try a different approach? What about a 10 line program? Or a 1-line program?

When it's basically free to rewrite your entire program, you tend to explore more. That's one benefit terseness affords you.
I haven't gotten to use C in industry, but I was taught that undefined behavior just means that it is defined by the running system and not the compiler. Is that not the general understanding? Maybe I was just taught that way because it was old timers teaching it.
Don't you need to do that anyway, because of gravity?

Wouldn't the causality speed limit just cause those gravity interactions to arrive with a time delay rather than being instantaneous?

Which means that to simulate the universe you essentially have to keep a history of how gravity is propagating, which requires keeping more information than if interactions were instantaneous?

In a sense perhaps this applies to light too, because since it has a finite velocity now you have to keep track of how all the photons individually propagate through spacetime, whereas if light traveled instantly this would not be necessary?

EDIT: The advantage I see in a speed limit is that you should be able to compute what happens in a point of spacetime based only on the information that is around that point (which still might have come from any or all other particles in the universe, mind you). For me, this emphasizes how important locality must be and it basically converts the popular "spooky action at a distance" claims into nonsense to me.

I guess that's why I'm a fan of the Many Worlds Interpretation.
Yeah, you see a similar phenomenon in the northeastern US. Places like New Bedford and Lowell, Massachusetts were doing much better when whaling and textiles were in their golden years. Now, not so much.
It probably comes from misusing the API route and feeling they want to keep it simple, but instead heavily coupling things.

A motivated BE that wants to be productive avoiding unnecessary work would probably hate being "support for frontend" whenever they decide to change something and a motivated frontend would probably want to turn themselves to full stack powers to not depend on someone else.

It feels really bad as a pattern unless that webapp is your only concern and is constantly moving or something, or if there's no actually FE or BE but just few people maintaining stuff as a side concern (backend for frontend works there).
Yes in a way. There are a bit more layers in-between.

In fact, you can see it as 2 decoupled kinds of database:

- the storage database

- the working in-memory UI database that holds the data represented (e.g. on your screen (GUI)).

The goal in general is to modify the data contained in this UI database and then to push the changes to storage.
This is an "original" take to put BERT above Attention is All You Need.
I mean subsidize in the sense that it's an artificial transfer from the public to the private, in the form of an artificially-created monopoly.

Copyright is a subsidy in the way a trade barrier is a subsidy. There's nothing natural about granting a monopoly on stories but not recipes, or on melodies but not the shape of a jacket or a building. It's just a hand-out that certain industries fought for, successfully made the status quo, and expanded over time.

And it goes far beyond paying people for creative work. Mathematicians are paid for their creative work and so are fashion designers. But neither have the right to say what others who weren't party to any contract with them can do with their creative work. If you want to share a mathematical formula or a fashion design or use it in new work you're free to, and the world benefits immensely from that. Books, films and songs are much more encumbered.

When I say the tax affects long-form work more than short-form, that's just based on the observation that books and films are typically locked away behind paywalls and off the open Internet, while the kind of ephemera the article talks about is free for everyone forever.

If books were free for everyone forever after 2 or 5 years, more people would read books, and it would be easier to build habit-driven products out of books. Lower the tax, increase the consumption.
It’s very simple, who’s the entity that benefits from such polarization? That’s your enemy, not the other side of the spectrum.
The parent claim is that polarization is so bad right now because of social media and the digital media. If the press is more tame now, wouldn't that result is in less polarization?
Why Write a Thank You Letter
What?? I had no idea about this. I have not had an iPhone since the 6 so I haven't followed it that closely. I remember they offered eSIM for dualsim, I had no idea they were eSIM only in the US even for primary SIM use. Wow. This will so not work over here.

> I'm certain the space regained by removing the SIM slot in a US-only variant has been repurposed for...absolutely nothing.

Yeah, after all the specs are no different in any other way I guess?

Samsung is doing something similar here though. They leave out the mmWave antennas. On US models you can see the antenna cutouts on their premium models but in Europe there is nothing in that space, just empty.

It's a shame because while mmWave is not a thing here right now I don't buy my phones for just one year.
Ignoring my general thoughts on full stack engineering for the sake of brevity—this works okay if your FE and BE have enough overlap in necessary skill set (e.g., same language) but in my experience when you need to hire a senior Rails+Vue3 developer or something you’re going to be tearing your hair out.
I stand corrected! I suppose it is possible to have a center goal that is connected to the edge by a wall.
The whole point is that when you need companyName for another thing, you should create a parameter `anotherThing` and backend will set companyName into it as well. It's designed to make it very weird to _not_ do that, so that you don't do that.
