> The same story is behind coal, except it is not possible to generate any more coal deposits naturally.

New coal is being made every day somewhere on the planet.

> This explains why ALL coal deposits in existence are older than something like 600M years.

Of course coal is old, because it's preceded by peat and lignite.

I think the point of the questions you were responding to is that cool is also renewable, just like trees are.

We just don't refer to it as such, because that renewability requires a really long time.
It is only easy compared to the alternative.

But I've seen both it and the alternative. It is literally easier to learn the math, and then use that to facilitate communication, than to attempt to directly communicate key concepts while avoiding the math.
But there could be an object with the same lifetime as the function passed to both f and h, in the article’s example — could they not collaborate still in safe Rust? Or does the compiler know about that?
They seem to have the right idea. Do you know much about them? Are they good/effective?
Heads of states and the ministers very often don't represent the populations of their states, only a very small part of it.
Cool — it's a good reminder that system constraints can affect far more than performance. Also, I remember using that compiler — it really only made a difference, we found in our testing (YMMV), if the program was heavy on calculations; most other programs we ran through it felt a little faster, but not by much.
As someone who has never heard of Kalman filters before, I found this page[0] useful to understand and build a mental model for it.

I've been using Privacy Redirect and some of the other generalist redirector extension with quite some success. Privacy redirect also redirects twitter to nitter, reddit to libreddit or old.reddit, Google Maps to openstreetmap and other stuff. Redirects can be enabled/disabled to ones taste. That's quite neat.

Combined with my private invidious instance so I can subscribe to channels without this data leaving computers I control.

May your own extension succeed too. I guess building it and releasing it are already two successes on their own.

yeah, common pattern, even works on HackerNews. It's nice when you need an exact time down to the minute or second.

But Hackernews for stuff older than a year (maybe slihtly younger) does indeed just show the exact date for a post.
I find these imprecise, rounded, relative timestamps very irritating and I am so happy to see that I am not the only one.

If you have the exact absolute data, then just give me that.. in its original form. Unbelievable that people put effort into making it less precise and making relative. Why? Because it looks _cute_? Personally, I always find it hard and tiring to mentally process these and map it back to an actual point in time.
Interesting. As a point of comparison, here are the official statistics of the Belgian railways: https://punctuality.belgiantrain.be/nl/dashboard

Last year, 10% of trains were delayed by > 6 minutes; this year 12%.

Note, some common complaints about these statistics are:

1. They measure delay at arrival at the end station. However, many trains have some margins built in during their ride, so they may be delayed en-route but "catch up" by the time they reach their end destination; resulting in more favorable numbers.

2. Cancelled trains are not counted in the statistics. So ironically, to improve punctuality statistics, it is "better" to cancel a train than having it run with a delay.

3. Trains are more delayed during peak hours than off-peak or during the weekend, but all trains count equally in these numbers.

4. If a (e.g. 5 minute) delay causes you to miss your transfer, you arrive much later at your final destination (e.g. 30 or 60 minutes).

5. If you inflate travel times (adding some extra "margin"), you can avoid bad statistics but passengers still don't get at their destination faster. This has happened in the past.

A fairer way to calculate delays would be to take a sample of all passengers and measure how delayed they arrive at their (final) destination. An organization that advocates for public transport users (TreinTramBus) has done this in the past, I thought, but I can't find it back.
It's ok. I'm well read on the nuances of internet communication. As tone deaf as it is. I'm willing to answer any questions from anybody about anything. There is nothing to hide here.

And obviously I don't have to denounce hamas. I'm just a regular dude I have no authority to denounce anybody. It means nothing for me to say that. Would I would say instead of denouncing.

Is that this entire situation is f*** up. No matter what angle you come from. No matter how you look at it. It goes back all the way up to the 1900s it's ridiculous. Hamas is being used by the government as propaganda. Literally lying about 95% of the things that they did. Which I'm not even sure how to even start talking about that too.

Normal humans shouldn't have to denounce the death of other humans obviously we don't want anyone to die not even one person doesn't matter who you're called or what group your from.

VP doesn't necessarily mean anything. Goldman Sachs has 12,000 vice presidents, give or take. Not one of them will ever get a call at 3AM because DJ Solomon took some MDMA laced with Fentanyl and they need to be sworn in as CEO.

Long ago at a job far away, there were account executives who schmoozed with clients. One day the CEO snapped his fingers and made them all vice presidents. Why? So they would look more important when they schmoozed with actual executives. Then again, maybe they were schmoozing with people who also had inflated titles.

No, not the whole. There are entire states in the EU that are against that. Unfortunately these are the smaller ones so they can't do anything about it and it's being forced upon their populations, regardless of what anyone says about how sovereign they are.
> which is contrary to common practice around strength development

This belief is already changing in bodybuilding and strength circles. Surprisingly, the fitness influencers on tiktok are leading the charge in changing minds about this.
I completely disagree. I’m a long-time gaming enthusiast who has followed Activision, Blizzard, and Microsoft Xbox since their beginnings.

Microsoft has done a singularly great job valuing the communities around games, often more than the companies they acquired.

Activision in particular was the death of Blizzard. They have a poor reputation which is very well deserved. I consider this acquisition a rescue of IP I’d given up on. I’m looking forward to the next chapter under Microsoft.

For context, it’s important to review Microsoft revenue in gaming (a loss) and how they justify it - they see gaming as a brand play. Unlike most AAA corporations in gaming, protecting the brand of their games and studios is far more important to them.
Maybe I’m in the minority, but if you’re ever not going to display the actual date, put the exact date/time in a nice, readable tooltip, or otherwise surface a way to see/copy it on right-click. I feel like some of this could be highly customized user agent settings. Always send the most precise data to the renderer and let it render how the user wants to consume it. By default, that could be how you want them to see it, but don’t get in the way.

The "Integrating Generic Sensor Fusion Algorithms with
Sound State Representations through Encapsulation of Manifolds" paper linked from your [1] is indeed the current state of the art. It shows how to use the EKF or UKF for rotation.

The naive Kalman filter is only suited for linear problems; extended and unscented Kalman filters (EKF/UKF) are necessary for anything non-linear (including rotation). In any case, they build on the basic KF, so you have to understand that first.
I like some aspects of C++17+ - the addition of functional programming, for example. But the standard library is now huge (more huge than before).

If it came down to it would you like the ability to automatically blackover the ad while it plays and mute your tab as a last ditch adblocker? Because that's an easy enough final solution to the ad problem but not everyone would want to endure the dead-air or plan for the time sink waiting for the real video to start.
I can totally believe your conclusion there. I worked for a digital ad agency back in the 2000s and was repeatedly told not to add conversion tracking before things went out to clients because everyone involved knew the numbers would be utterly damning. Half the time I think the only people who looked at the sites we were building were us, and the client team that was paying for it.

> The EU (and the US federal government) simply shouldn't be able to do most of what they do

In my opinion this sentence straight up does not make sense. The EU and the US federal government are dramatically different, you can't even really compare their roles meaningfully. The EU is, and behaves like, a club of seperate individual nations. The US federal government is a real national government in ways the EU simply isn't.

Even restricting attention to the EU it doesn't even really make sense. Which part of the EU are you complaining about? You're writing this in response to a proposal from the EU commission, so I guess you're pissed with them, but the commission can't make its proposals into law without parliament voting on it and the European Council agreeing. The EU parliament is (overwhelmingly) unlikely to pass this proposal into law and the European Council also has big problems with it.

This proposal is essentially one country (Sweden) sending a particuarly idiotic comissioner (Ylva Johansson), and the rest of the EU apparatus resisting the shit she is trying to push.

"Literally lying about 95% of the things that they did." Can you please clarify this? The WSJ just wrote about orders retrieved from Hamas prisoners/corpses to kill as many people as possible.

Hiring (on both sides of the desk) is and always has been hard, it's true. Both the company and the applicant are taking a risk when they make the hiring decision. I think that a lot of companies get more focused than is wise on reducing that risk, and they harm themselves because of it.

In the end, that risk can never be reduced to zero, so you have to accept a certain amount of bad hires/employers. There must be a level of risk where, in the big picture, the maximum benefit lies, and that's what should be aimed for rather than trying to accomplish the impossible at any cost.

I don’t want to exclusively ride trains and buses. I can never enjoy it and don’t feel comfortable. I love driving around in the privacy of my car. On the other hand I don’t want to say fuck the climate like the GP above. I think there’s a way to make both things work. More trains and more roads.

IMO that's not evidence of anything other than a bug with package manifests and the current Playstore version. I have to side load apps all the time on my kids tablets because of API incompatibilities that don't ultimately matter, and it isn't Google out to get my kids.

According to the 3DMark playstore page, the last update was Sept 21, 2023. Version 2.3.4869. Android 14 came out October 4th, making any incompatibility likely a temporary problem.

Unless there's a quote from 3DMark explaining how everything is dandy in their end, I'm not buying what you are selling.

I studied maths at uni 30 years ago and have forgotten it all and I love how completely uncomprehensible all of these examples are if you're not in the field:

The Busemann-Petty problem (posed in 1956) has an interesting history. It asks the following question: if K and L are two origin-symmetric convex bodies in Rn such that the volume of each central hyperplane section of K is less than the volume of the corresponding section of L, does it follow that the volume of K is less than the volume of L: Voln(K)≤Voln(L)?

Its such a dense avalanche of concepts. If you coded up a few examples using actual values to run the calculations in the much-less-dense format of code (say js or python or fortran) how many lines of code would it be? Fifty? Hundreds?
I'm glad I'm not alone in this, Apple's Mail app used to display Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/etc for the last week of email before switching to numeric dates. It would drive me crazy as I mentally work with dates and having to constantly check "ok what date was last Tuesday", "ok what date was last Saturday", introduced needless complexity.

Someone must have spoken up, because it's now as follows: the time(for today's email), "Yesterday", then the numerical dates.

On a tangent: Maybe one of our german friends can answer if the day before yesterday is displayed as "vorgestern", since that's part of the german lexicon.

Second tangent: While we're at it, can English finally standardise what "next <day>" means. For example I'm writing this on Saturday, and "next Monday" is permitted to mean either in 2 days time or in 9 days time.
ACs don't send the hot air outside. They transfer the heat outside. They usually recirculate the inside air. But the act of running the inside air across the cooling coils causes water to condenser on the coils and thus dehumidifies the air as well.

Motorcross people still use them but that's such a small number. In other places they are being phased out too.
I'm curious where you are living while trying this and what language you speak with your spouse.

I'm German and have a foreign spouse living in Germany. I speak English with my spouse, work mostly in English and spend most of my free time using English. For neither of us English is the native language though.

I guess it's a dramatically different experience if you try to teach your child a language that's not used in the household and not used in the country. E.g. me speaking German with my child in Germany, while we use English as the common language, should be a lot easier than my spouse trying to teach a language to our child that's not spoken in the country.

This is all theoretical for me as kids are still a few years away, but a question I have been wondering about in a long time.
