Car-centric urban planning has massing (mostly hidden) negative externalities:

1. Cars are discriminatory: only licensed 18+ (and not too old) can drive. A whole demographics of children+teens+disabled have lost their mobility independence.

2. Cars robbed children of they street. Street should be a social place for humans, not a car storage space and a race track for rat runners.

3. (UK) 50% of car tripes are less than 1 mile. If these motorists had the option of cycling, everyone (pedestrians,cyclist,motorists) would be better off.

4. Much more....

Cities should be for people not machines. Cars should be treated as guests in our social space, not first-class citizens with cyclists and pedestrians having to tiptoe around cars.

Normally, in any country of the world, you do not pay taxes on things, you import just temporary.

I doesn't matter if it is an Ferrari just for pleasure or if it is a new machine you bring in for a trade show for your business. The thing is, that you need to make a customs declaration (and not the easy one that you normally do at the airport as a traveller). You do the full declaration including information for which reason you are importing, when you will export it again, including all the tax codes. Then when you leave you need to declare the export.

A first edition of the Gospel of John countering the modern version would be great but not sure that a Roman pagan library would bother storing such a thing, then you're left with someone's historical/pagan take on the first century AD. Some histories of Palestine or Christians causing trouble in Rome seem possible, or notes on a Herod's time in power that don't match the Christian narrative. but none of this seems too threatening, large swathes of Christian thought now treats the birth narrative as ahistorical. It might be another blow for the bible literalists, but they're a small group overall and those battles have been going on since the 2nd century. Another Josephus or Tacitus would be great. The big opportunity here is to dismiss the Jesus myth-ers by finding more evidence that a person called Jesus existed. The impact of this on questions around the divinity of Jesus seem rather moot, Tacitus and Josephus talk history from non-Christian perspectives, not theology.

But the competition process looks weird to me. Aparently it's not like a sports fixture, where the rules are set before the competition, and the referee just enforces the rules; this referee adjusts the rules while the competition is underway.

NIST has form for juking the standards, or at least for letting the NSA juke them. If they're not completely transparent, then any standard they recommend is open to question, which isn't good for a standard.

I am crafting BCL, own configuration language.

https://github.com/wkhere/bcl

I started this when I was unable to squeeze certain usage patterns from HCL, like: variables living in the same scope as the file, evaluating variables in one pass with parsing, easily using external (environment) variables; plus, a simplified syntax.

The implementation is mostly done: you can defined blocks holding key-value pairs and use numerical, string and bool expressions in them. I will add lists and nested blocks.

At this very moment I am rewriting a parser from yacc-based to a Pratt top-down parser with vm, heavily inspired by the excellent book "Crafting Interpreters".
This work is actually done, but needs few polishes to be integrated.

The first implementation of the parser and deserializer is in Go. Once I'm happy with the language and it's sealed, I will write another implementations, most like starting with Python and Zig.
Thanks, Wolf Children is a good place to start I think!

> The EASY part of mathematics is the language.

This is where I highly disagree. Doing the math is doing the language. I'm not sure which part is "easy". Even setting up problems is often incredibly difficult. This is where many physics students often struggle, despite having strong math skills there's a challenge to describe the problem to be solved. Even strong mathematicians often struggle to translate between mathematics and their native spoken language. Though 3B1B is quite good at doing this, though there is quite a lot of simplification to goes on due to the target audience. Like I said to the sibling comment, do not mistake how powerful and impressive language is. It created our modern world and there's a reason it is more important to us than even our phones. But all languages, including math, are never complete. They cannot describe everything, unfortunately. But I thought my name would have indicated that I was well aware of this notion.

> "Where do the zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie?" is way way more than just vocabulary

And a language isn't just vocabulary. That's like saying a programming language (which remember has a direct correspondence. They're equivalent) is just tokens. Idk if you want to look into CH Correspondence, Lambda Calculus, Abstract Algebra, Category Theory, or if I should just quote Poincare about mathematics being the study of relationships.

It's ironic: 20+ years ago, UI software had FAR more configurability and interesting usability settings like the one you mention here. Yet computers were FAR slower in CPU speed (and memory size too).

Now, computers are infinitely faster, with far more memory to play with, yet software usability has gotten much worse, as functionality has been removed, which logically should result in simpler, faster software, but instead it's the opposite: software has all become dog-slow, even though it doesn't DO nearly as much as the software a quarter-century ago.

Here's my honest shot at it:

In between a bunch of conspiratorial hinting, djb argues that KYBER-512 is weaker than NIST claims.

To make that argument, he points out a fairly egregious math mistake (the whole "2^40+2^40" bit) and then shows that NIST was inconsistent in applying the rules of the contest it refereed.

He also offers an explanation for why NIST would be so inconsistent about it, namely that they were influenced to pick KYBER, even if it wasn't the best candidate.

--

My personal takeaway was that he was both being a sore loser but also that KYBER-512 is weaker than it should be, weaker than it is claimed to be and that for some reason NIST still wanted it to win.

Makes me skeptical about KYBER-512 (but not larger sizes) and reinforces my worry that NIST can be influenced to pick less-than-optimal algorithms.

But then, I'm not a cryptographer and in the lucky situation where for any application I encounter, I can just go for KYBER-768 or 1024 or NTRU and just be fine - I don't have to understand this situation perfectly.

Hope you get some value from this outside perspective.
I am developing a system for alerts, notifications, and data actions. I will offer an on-premise open-source version as well as a SaaS version. With Emitbase, every developer will be able to write SELECT statements for their databases. If these statements return rows from the database, they will trigger actions such as emails, Slack messages, or automated workflows in tools like Zapier. Engineers using Emitbase will be able to create and automate all alerts, notifications, and data actions in a matter of minutes, rather than hours.

I've reviewed old meeting recordings, when my notes were not clear/complete, and after getting over what I sound like generally (an issue on any recording device!) I sound clearer than some people who are using wired headsets. I'm actually using a bone-conduction headpiece (Shokz OpenRun, a friend has some from a different manufacturer and he sounds fine too when using them for a phone call) so it might be even more surprising that I sound reasonable.

If someone does have a problem with how I sound then they can buy me a decent wired headset, or just stop inviting me to remote meetings that I don't want to be in anyway :)

This site is midwittery at its finest. 'Oo - I've invented a situation where someone may hypothetically be offended!'.

To take the first two specific examples, the US flag is perfectly appropriate for English and furthermore warns that it's the American English variant being used. So, some of the spelling will be odd and the date order will be... illogical. ( I speak as an Englishman :-) ) . Similarly, the Union flag is a perfectly good signifier for English and/or British English, a language spoken across the British Isles. Exactly no-one looks at that and expects to see Welsh (there's a Welsh flag for that.) Again, the Spanish flag is a perfectly good signifier for Spanish language, and exactly no-one in Mexico will be reasonably offended - but if I were an app developer in Mexico, using a Mexican Spanish variant in my app, I might use a Mexican flag and everyone would know what was meant.

No, there isn't a 1:1 correspondence between languages and flags. No, that does not, in practice, matter very much. A moment's confusion as to whether a Saltire signifies the use of Scots Gaelic or Scots is not a large problem in the scheme of things. Go and worry about something more important.
