And for the curious, there's a third general category, "general interest", which I've applied to what are usually magazines, not specifically news/business or science-related. These are roughly 2% of front-page stories.

Site list: theatlantic.com, newyorker.com, archive.org, smithsonianmag.com, qz.com, nationalgeographic.com, aeon.co, openculture.com, theconversation.com, might.net, theparisreview.org, vanityfair.com, ted.com, popularmechanics.com, laphamsquarterly.org, buzzfeed.com, fivethirtyeight.com, outsideonline.com, thehustle.co, newrepublic.com, foreignpolicy.com, harpers.org, esquire.com, longreads.com, newstatesman.com, lettersofnote.com, gq.com, thewalrus.ca, cjr.org, strongtowns.org, historytoday.com, variety.com, hyperallergic.com, 1843magazine.com, collectorsweekly.com, theamericanscholar.org, nplusonemag.com, bigthink.com, brainpickings.org, thenation.com, theoutline.com, theinformation.com, washingtonmonthly.com, macleans.ca, redherring.com, thenewatlantis.com, prospectmagazine.co.uk, quoteinvestigator.com, theawl.com, airspacemag.com, calvertjournal.com, canada.com, mensjournal.com, torontolife.com, thecorrespondent.com, thecritic.co.uk, britishmuseum.org, nationalgeographic.co.uk, publishersweekly.com, autoweek.com, folksonomy.org, laweekly.com, menshealth.com, rijksmuseum.nl, metmuseum.org, prospect-magazine.co.uk, wunderground.com, agweek.com, banksy.co.uk, banksyfilm.com, minnesotamonthly.com, openlettersmonthly.com

(Again, by order of frequency in front-page stories.)

This and other precentages are based on 35% of stories being unclassified, that is, coming from sites I've not explicitly tagged. Based on some random sampling of that pool, those are most often blogs or corporate sites. My classification for news, science/academic, and programming sites is generally more comprehensive as I'm able to leverage regex matches: "edu" and "ac" for academic, GitHub and GitLab domains for programming, for example, also station call-letter patterns such as [KW][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]for the US for many general news sites.

I used to be a note taking nerd. I switched to handwritten notes. Supposedly writing vs. typing helps with recall. Who knows. Anyway, shortly after that I became a fountain pen connoisseur. Started to see the pattern/problem... Now it's just dumb notes on a legal pad using a ballpoint. Minimum distraction. Sometimes I do a document scan with my phone.

>I never understood the purpose of doing the daily note for these apps

I mostly use Obsidian for taking notes during D&D (arguably its killer app), but I think "session" notes are a good enough analogue to "daily notes".

To that end, these notes serve as an excuse to force you to list your individual notes in chronological order (which makes it easy to trigger further memories/details that came next), which then prompts you to spin out any specific-enough information into atomic notes, adding backlinks which provide context and organic categorization that might not otherwise be obvious.

I looked at the names of the available ISLISP implementations; none of them appear in the list of popular, commonly used LISP implementations. I have to wonder where (and if!) any implementation of ISLISP is actually being used in practice.
I think that's a good goal, but it seems pretty out of your hands. After your first addition to the language or state file (which by the sound of it is something you hope to do soon, and I applaud that), TF could immediately introduce something making compatibility impossible without you reverting and breaking the feature.

Technical founders help, but it's not required. Structured goal setting, call it OKRs if you want, is the secret sauce. Can't just cargo cult it. Has to be an entire company working together towards goals. That's where the dream of DevOps happens.

Best example I can give is the lore of SpaceX's spending policy. Every purchase was authorized, if it could get the company to Mars faster. True? IDK, I wasn't there, but it's the type of clarity most companies struggle to define. There is no DevOps without that clarity.

> the extension APIs are standardised enough that this is actually possible a lot of the time

A bit off topic, but as a co-chair of the WebExtensions Community Group[1] (WECG) I'm a bit touchy about the calling WebExtensions "standardized." A few years back the Browser Extensions Community Group[2] created a spec for WebExtensions, but it never reached a state that we'd normally refer to as a web standard. (Technically W3C community groups can only produce "Reports" and these documents are not on the standards track.[3])

FWIW, I'm very bullish about specifying and (hopefully) standardizing the WebExtensions platform. I'm especially excited about having a good chunk of dedicated time to sit with browser folks at TPAC 2023[4] and try to work out some open questions about where we're going and how we're going to get there.

I'm sure that was an especially painful change, being such a gratuitously stingy and shortsighted treatment of a dear and painstakingly refined core technology project.

My point with that observation about licensing was just that in many cases, it didn't even take something as drastic as a license change to get a project superseded by a community fork. Just changing the release process or removing some community maintainers' commit bits or whatever could be enough.

Maybe some of that was because seeing what was done to OpenSolaris made everyone else ready to jump right away as soon as they saw any shift at all in other projects, though.

I do not think C (or any other programming language) is the best programming language. However, I think that the memory safety often gets in the way, and that even if it is helpful (which it often is), memory safety is not the only important or helpful feature anyways.
> Neither Python nor Java have REPL, or can have it in principle

Python certainly can have it in principle; its true that there are structures that where __repr__() doesn't feed back — that’s true in most Lisps for certain things, like recursive structures, too — but, too the extent that is worse than Lisp, that’s not an “in principle” limit.

Now, its true that the default Python interactive shell does not make it easy to distinguish between side effect printing and evaluation results, and worse yet (for use as a REPL) swallows rather than displaying None when it is a result, but “the default interactive shell is not a REPL” is very different than “Python cannot have a REPL in principle”.
We're still in the first inning. A little too soon to declare victory IMHO. They're moat hasn't even been tested yet. Adoption is what actually matters. FTE commitments will disappear quickly if the project isn't able to get adoption.

Also I know Hashicorp has a good moat (how good we don't know yet). Some very big companies pay Hashicorp and there's no way they're going to leave for opentf anytime soon. The support alone is plenty valuable enough to keep them there.
Would be good if any user interface that uses these kinds of llm solutions always include the raw data from the backing services when asked for. Like how in chatgpt you can open and inspect its interaction with a plugin.

As the other replies to this state, yes it's standard practise to update a kernel by installing the newer one without having to re-install or update all the other packages. Kernel updates are handled the same as any other package update but with the only difference being that a system reboot is required. (There's also the possibility of performing live kernel patching so that a reboot isn't needed, but that's typically a paid for service with enterprise linux).

Also, you can have many kernels installed concurrently and select which one to boot from at the GRUB boot screen. This is mostly used when you update the kernel and suddenly find on rebooting that something has gone wrong (e.g. necessary drivers not included in the initial ram disk - initrd), so you can reboot and select the previous working kernel to boot the system and resolve whatever issue you had.
Or maybe “code quality” really means how visually pleasing the code is, or maybe it means it takes up the least amount of disk space, or what if it means code that doesn’t use the letter ‘e’?

This is why the pursuit of “high quality code” is pointless; you are not an artist, you are aligned to solve a problem. If you do that, code or not, you are doing good work as an engineer. If you are not, you are not. Whether the code fits some arbitrary definition of “good” separate from your ability to solve a problem doesn’t play into it.

Technically incorrect! The numerical chain rule uses the method of finite difference, which will accumulate errors as you move through the computation.

See the 'differences from other methods' section: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation

The point, as the neighborhood comment says, is that the implementation really matters, and is worthy of study. It's fine to say that autodiff is a family of methods for implementing the chain rule, but incorrect to say that it's 'just' the numerical chain rule.

Just to add on this: having really bad sleep issues can be a symptom of an underlying mental illness, so consulting a therapist is a good idea if thing don't get better by only resorting to lifestyle changes.

Wrong. They're planning for when SHTF, which is the ultimate consequence to the stupidity they feel is present in modern life and government.
I don't see the benefit of this when you can reach for the internet and find a magnitude of thoughts on the very same issue with a very different perspective. I also think thoughts from others are the only way to adjust your own bias about the issue.

Rather the benefit seems to mostly stem from freeing up mental space by removing whatever the thought was that you want to cling to, and putting it somewhere else that "feels" permanent. That feeling is important because it allows your brain to drop it, rather than feel like you have to continue to think about it out of fear of "forgetting".

This was from speaking to an expert, but from what I recall recovering plutonium is perfectly reasonable trying to recover the uranium isn’t helping.

First you don’t actually reduce the number of atoms of highly radioactive waste products. You’re simply chemically separating material not transmuting it to something non radioactive. Which doesn’t really make the nasty stuff easier to deal with.

Second, you end up contaminating a great deal of additional material which then becomes a high volume of low level radioactive waste. At the same time you need an input stream of various chemicals, steel, rubber, etc to replace what’s been contaminated/used which then causes environmental harm when you’re extracting them.

Finally plutonium is useful as fuel, but the ratio of u235:u238 changes so you still need enrichment. Which means at the end of this process you’re spent a great deal of effort only to throw away most of the uranium recovered.

There are reactor designs that don’t need enrichment such as CANDU, but they need far less raw uranium mined in the first place.

TLDR; What you’re recovering is u235 which is a small percentage of spent fuel and it takes a huge amount of resources to get at it.

This is exactly what I'm referring to. You have a pool of virtual NICs on the host in user-space created by the VM runtime that get assigned to the guest on provision-time, which just passes through any commands/syscalls (bind/connect/etc.) via a funky driver interface. You'd have to mangle the guest kernel syscalls or libc though, it might be really ugly.
I was looking into this DIY approach and it is not allowed in my county.

Great examples, thanks!! I typed them all into the TypeScript playground.

I agree this is weird, and seems to follow from TypeScript's heritage as "trying to describe whatever dynamic JS does"

I mean that's probably why I didn't use it for >10 years (in addition to its JS heritage). But I did find that there is an interesting subset, at least for playing around.

I think the JSON.parse() issue is fundamental -- it's not clear what they could have done better, and static languages don't really do better. There is a fundamental problem there -- type systems are interior to a process, while data is exterior (https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/06/ysh-design.html)
