I miss that dark orange for the freeways.
Interesting, do you mean contrast between non-roads and roads, or between map and text? I think (bear in mind I have some color blindness) that it's gone from a low-contrast road grid with high contrast text to a high-contrast road grid with low-contrast text.

It would be easier to trace the shape of the roads, but that's not how I personally use a map. I'm much more focused on the name of a neighborhood or the name of a road, and its relative position.

That one video of an engineer taking a Juicero apart and just being stunned from start to finish that it's built from the most expensive, high-quality parts imaginable, making it possibly the most over-engineered piece of junk ever, is probably one of the most entertaining YT videos I've ever seen.

I understand many (most?) claw machines these days have sensors in the prize chute and will go into a "strong claw" mode until such time as a prize is successfully dropped. So not quite forcing a win, but certainly making it more fair.

Passing through Jakarta airport the other day, there was an announcement which was literally on a continuous loop with no pause in between. It was only about 15 seconds long. Considering I couldn't understand a word of it, after a short while my mind drifted to a mental playback of the "corporate accounts payable Nina speaking - just a moment" scene from Office Space. Nobody around me seemed to be disturbed by it at all, though.
I don't understand the slide with the mems arrays...

The lasers and cameras in there are just for alignment right? Ie. No data is sent/received with them?

Typical MEMS arrays have pixels that are strictly on or off. Are these arrays variable deflection allowing any beam to be redirected to any other?

Are the beams arranged in a 2d grid, yet the mems arrays only allow 1d deflection, hence requiring two MEMS units to allow true any to any connections?

The mems units look huge for just 136 pixels. Mems units in a home dlp projector would have 2 million mirrors on a far smaller die. Why couldn't they be used for a far more capable switch, and far cheaper since it is without custom silicon?

Doing database lookups on the server was the primary reason people STOPPED doing server side render and shifted to JS+API. Why do we now think that the way we used to do it was actually better?
Complain about too much communication. Complain about too little. The happy medium is somewhere in the middle. The stressors are the complainers and extremists (author of this article included).
Uh wow. That video is awesome. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely. Walking around Osaka, Tokyo etc, it's so incredibly quiet. Eventually you will come to a road and the difference is so obvious, you really feel how unpleasant roads are in a city.

It's surprising how much a bit of distance helps too. Just a street back from a stroad and you're already much better off sound wise. We don't have to abandon roads just be smarter with where we put faster roads (50kmph+ is probably not what people think of as fast but I find that is when noise is at unpleasant levels to those on the street. As well, it's tires not exhaust noise causing the majority of noise)

There are probably people reading this who like me thought nothing of road noise, no big deal, just a fact of life. But spaces are so much nicer without rushing cars on the majority of thoroughfares.

Cool website. When I was a teenager, I spent a week every summer learning to sail at a sailing course. So, I learned quite a few of those knots. This brings back good memories. As, I'm Dutch, the names for these knots in English are a bit challenging for me. And honestly, after 35 years, I struggle to name a lot of these knots in Dutch now. But I still know and use a few occasionally. A lot of that becomes muscle memory. If you do use them often enough, it kind of sticks. They are like nice little 3D puzzles and there's something satisfying when you figure out how they work. It can be fun to figure a few out while fiddling with a bit of rope.

The practicality of knots and their traits is what drives their use. When you deal with boats, you need these knots to perform and not come undone when you are not expecting them to (which could be dangerous). And you also need them come apart when you need them to.

Properties like that are what makes a lot of these knots so useful. Technically, you can get by with knowing only a handful. But there are a lot of specialized one with niche usages.

> My argument isn’t moot because your intention is to violate my privacy,

We both know cryptocurrencies aren't private at all so it is moot point and a fool's errand to use crypto as a means for anonymous and private transactions

> No, things you voluntarily participate in aren’t scams.

So companies and small businesses have voluntarily participated in crypto phishing and crypto ransomware scams?

Why do you keep blaming victims and when are you going to stop?
I always wondered why they did that. Is it supposed to fool you into thinking stuff is happening in the background? Like the computers are working really hard on your case, just be patient?
This. No matter how intelligent you are, you can not make connections between things you don't know about. If you externalise all knowledge you are ultimately just extension of that knowledge source.
No fucking way! Wow.
There an amazing number of coincidences that have led to human life existing. I only know of the anthropic principle greatest hits from physics including The Moon, plate tectonics, distance from sun, etc but I assume there are more from the natural world of evolution.

So I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the bottleneck population also wiped their bottoms with leaves from a tree that grows only in natural uranium ore, thereby artificially boosting their genetic diversity as well as putting pressure on them to reproduce frequently and often before they reach their radiologically reduced life expectancy of 25.
There's big variation between airlines, though, so I think that's not the entire explanation. In many cases I think that there is nobody involved with the decision of which announcements to include who really has the job of caring about the overall passenger experience.

In some airlines in Asia you get every announcement in three languages, and your IFE is interrupted by all of them, regardless of whether you understand just one. Even worse, they put short pauses between them, teasing you with a couple seconds of your movie before interrupting it again. A basic level of care would be to interrupt the IFE only for the language you had chosen for the IFE when you first sat down.
> ok, that's reasonable. though you could specify attributes as (:foo bar) so that "(:" always starts an attribute. attributes without value could still be written without surrounding parentheses although always requiring them would make parsing easier.

There's been a lot of pushback on the attributes, so something there has got to change. I'm considering all the changes (including your suggestion too. Thanks, BTW).

The downside #1 with '(:' , from a usage perspective, is that '(' is no longer context-free and is inconsistent. For example, you could not produce a tree with `<:placeholder:>`[1].

Downside #2 is that it's just cumbersome to type (The whole point of this was to reduce the clunkiness of typing out HTML). Four attributes which would be

:name1=value1 :name2=value2 :name3=value3 :name4=value4

turn into

(:name1 value1) (:name2 value2) (:name3 value3) (:name4 value4)

I think if I adopt the reverse-smiley, I may as well adopt it in a way that is consistent - reserve all lists which has a ':' as the first symbol. Then, even though it's an exception to the general rule, it's a rule itself so users can easily abide by it and it opens up possibility for new functionality without breaking existing documents.

For example `(:attrs ...)`, and `(:import ...)` and `(:set-var ...)` etc.

[1] I don't know why a user would want this, but it's probable. After all, I use a similar syntax currently in LaTeX files so that sed can perform replacements before pdflatex generates my invoices using the transformed files.

This is specifically about the kernel driver part.

Most of the GPU software stack can reasonably be outside the kernel. There's no obvious reason why much of it would need to be in ring-0 where bugs cause OS crashes and security vulnerabilities.

> Meanwhile the open-source NVIDIA "Nouveau" driver is around 201k (21.7k blank lines, 24.3k lines of comments, and 155k lines of code). Or the Intel i915 DRM kernel graphics driver is around 381k lines via the same cloc judgment.

But without separate line counts of the generated data tables and actual human written code, we don't have the real line count numbers to compare.
Author here! Surprised to see it shared! This article was the first one where I studied how a cryptography-based system worked and how it was subsequently broken, back in late 2019. Lot of things in the website have changed since then.

Not really true. The only thing Digg today has in common with its namesake is the domain name. Different owner, different model, different content, different people. Today it's a (pretty decent) curated list of content with no voting, comments or even categories.
Did you have a look at SvelteKit? It does that "hydration" magic, first page loads completely from server, then it can work like a SPA, only fetching required data.

It’s all JS, which we know from the frontend, all that "magic" is done by the framework in the background. You write it once, it works both ways automatically.

We already build 3 webapps using SvelteKit, still happy for the ease of use, or great "DX" as some call it.
> cutting edge crypto

BWAHAHAHA! Nothing about that program had any redeeming quality, the fact that everything was based on solidity was enough to confirm this: I knew IBM would be split into 2 companies when the upper brass refused to wise up to the obvious scams like ETH and eventually with Stellar. So much is put behind short term gains selling Z mainframes and empty promises of Watson for everything that nothing gets left over for anything actually innovative.

Tell me, for all the anti BTC propaganda in the training and talking points, it must really have humbled a few people and hopefully got enough people fired to see that the SEC and even Blackrock ended up on our side and not yours.

Instead all IBM has is a place amongst all the other s** coins no one uses with nearly no utility/volume or value to speak of [0]: whereas BTC keeps breaking hashrate ATH.

You guys really dropped the ball on this one, and to be honest the fact that it's a bunch of dinosaurs running that place made it apparent it was never going to live up to it's promise: I just wished the rank and file had taken more effort to make this happen, some of us did try, as so many corps IBM services were willing to pilot-test this tech.

I hate being this crass, I really do, but seriously you guys really screwed this one up.

Apparently I'm spoilt, as the airports I use most often (Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London Heathrow) are all quiet, with no announcements until at the gate when boarding behind.

Though every time I travel by train in England, they seem to have added more pointless drivel to the railway station security announcement. ("This is a security announcement. Please do not leave baggage unattended anywhere on the station. Any unattended articles may be removed and destroyed by the security services. If you see anything suspicious, please tell a member of staff. Remember, see it, say it, sorted." Back when the IRA were actually leaving bombs around, we only needed the italic bit.)

My post is expressly about “Roe” being an “outlier” in terms of requiring that abortion be available for non-medical reasons into the second trimester.

I’m not sure how you could interpret my post as being about the official “GOP” policy plank, since that’s long been a total ban which is obviously more restrictive than the laws in Europe. It that doesn’t change the fact that the European laws embody a meaningfully different moral judgment than does Roe about when the fetus is sufficiently developed that you shouldn’t be able to kill it without a heightened showing.
Python doesn’t compare to R for analytical work — it doesn’t have the eco-system and R is specialised for it.

Where Python broke in was machine learning which is not analytical work and often involves lots of general purpose programming. sklearn, skimage, opencv, Tensorflow, Torch, JAX, and so on are often used in a general code base. Torch was actually a C++/Lua framework initially before switching to C++/Python.

Python has a dominant general purpose eco-system. It’s also a simple language to learn compared to R/Matlab/etc which are just horrible to use for data structures or paradigms other than vector/matrix based pipelines.

It may be and it will probably not move the needle much for Kagi, but also it was one of the most requested features on Kagi forums [1]

While I am personally not a crypto user, I think respecting the upvote mechanism as a legitimate way for Kagi users to steer the development of the platform is the least we can do if we want to call ourselves a user-centric company.

It was also an interesting learning experience, implementing it was much harder than we anticipated and I hope others in the same position can benefit from our learnings.

There's a certain kind of sci-fi premise of "what if every intelligent species has something they're particularly good at."

Naturally, most stories revolve around something impressive (or damning) for humanity like "war" or "kindness", but in the past I've wondered what kind of story one could make if the answer was "knots".

Perhaps that's a question for mathematicians, and whether some facility for topological knot-thinking might be very handy in some kind of physics or engineering.

If Xorg development continued, we would still end up with Wayland, just under a slightly different name. You can only keep the X11 protocol, even with extensions, going for so long, and we've long since reached its expiration date.

I don't disagree entirely but if you genuinely build a low-car dependent neighborhood it will be too inconvenient to use your car for a short hop.

Speeds are way lower in dense neighborhoods, and no on street parking, so the noise is lower and it's a pain to pull your car in and out. Most noise is tire noise not exhaust (except your odd racer boy and their fart cannon exhaust)
It’s not the percentage one should be concerned with but rather who’s owning the homes. It is skewing older and older as people in their 30s get locked out of the market, and it’s harder for people even younger beyond that. The median age of home owners has steadily been rising.

For many, and increasingly i think will be the majority unless something changes, the first home they buy is simply going to be the only one, as well. The rates of people moving homes has dropped steadily as well, as people can’t afford to own a home and then upgrade to a newer / different one down the line

Right now the only reserved tokens are '(', ')' and ':'. Everything else is emitted as HTML content. Reserving '{' and '}' for use by the program means that users would have to escape '{' and '}' wherever it occurs in their content.
There’s a whole division dedicated to undoing military communication style to adapt it to the real world in the private sector. Just FYI. Also, the word “didn’t” doesn’t exist in that communication style… “unable”, “status red”, “negative”, “not able”. The words “can’t” and “didn’t” are stricken.

I chose this house, I’m not complaining, but I would enjoy a world with less to zero cars.
Indeed, the longer you are around you see these cycles repeat again and again.

Thin client vs thick client has been a point of contention since mainframes and minicomputers.
For a date in October in Paris it returned a single hotel option with a price of $20860361.04.

For another city it also showed a single option, but priced at $0.00.

That's not very good. It was very fast though.
Where do you propose database lookups get done in the JS+API world?

Surely they are getting done on the server that hosts the API? Unless you are using something like Firebase or SupaBase which can sort of enable client side database access (but not really, it’s still doing it on a server, just their server and running the call through RLS or similar)
Yeah, downvote FACT.

Fair enough. I have clarified my use case at the top of my article to reflect my threat model. I don’t use the VM to run tricksy software I don’t trust so the sandboxing argument doesn’t really apply in my case (or rather it doesn’t apply any more than when running software directly on the host). All of the software I run on my VMs is the same software I would run on my host (if the host was Linux-based).

> “My grandmother was extremely proud that her father had a very low number”

In Finland, a local operator built the world’s first commercial GSM network back in 1991. They initially sold four-digit phone numbers as a perk. (Combined with the country code and the operator code, the numbers today look like this: +358 50 1234)

Those short numbers are still being resold by their owners. I’ve heard some of them go for tens of thousands of euros.

The psychology of valuable numbers is pretty interesting. NFTs are basically that. You don’t even own the JPEG, you just own a number in a database that indicates that image. And if your ugly ape picture number is 24 and some poor sap has ugly ape picture number 1581, surely that makes you richer and more envied.
Erm, what?

If it was classical mechanical 28 "balls" with pairwise interactions, complexity would be "merely O(28^2)". But it is not, which is what I said.
