> I replace the [QubesOS] Linux firewall VM with a MirageOS unikernel. The resulting VM uses safe (bounds-checked, type-checked) OCaml code to process network traffic, uses less than a tenth of the memory of the default FirewallVM, boots several times faster, and should be much simpler to audit or extend.

I don't see the need for this. Obviously a silent car, even if driven well, provides fewer cues to its existence than a car that makes some noise.

And a silent car driven badly provides basically the same lack of cues. At least an ICE car driven badly is loud.

"how they didn't become the disgusting colonizers the European colonial powers became..."

China occupied and absorbed a lot of nearby nations during its existence. 4000 years ago, what passed for China was much smaller than today's PRC territory.

The fact that the Chinese (like the Russians) expanded on land instead of sailing towards their colonies on ships shouldn't play a role in labeling their activity as fundamentally colonial.

Even now they are trying to displace the Tibetans from Lhasa, with only the low atmospheric pressure (which causes health problems to people stemming from lowlands) standing in their way.
> But it was Europe who conquered the world and colonized the so called new world, not China.

A Chinese emperor once famously said to the British: “Our celestial empire possesses all things in abundance and lacks no product within its borders. There is therefore no need to import the manufactures of barbarians in exchange for our own products.”[1]

Old civilizations are deeply connected to their geography, and once they settle down in a fertile area, they generally don't feel the need to colonize or fight people beyond their immediate neighbourhood. Barring a couple of exceptions, the Chinese and Indian experiences are very similar.

The only reason Europeans went out on their ships was to find a sea route to India after their traditional routes were blocked by the Turks and the Arabs.

Sorry, I can't see any meaningful difference in my rewording. Could you clarify?
> Many people that live in locations with property tax would very happily sell their property at the "assessed" value rather than sell on the open market for a fraction of that price.

Citation needed. Assessed values are generally lower than market value. Furthermore, there's a growing set of data which suggests that, in many places, lower-value houses are assessed at a higher percentage of their market value than higher-value houses[0] -- that is, assessments are regressive.

> I'm not sure what you're getting at. There's a fundamental difference between such physical concepts, which I can ultimately describe mathematically (at various scales and levels of accuracy), and conscious experiences.

You can describe heat mathematically the same way you can describe the interactions of every atoms in a brain mathematically but neither yields/explains why it is the way it is. It just is.

> For instance, I can sensibly ask "what's it like to be a cat?". But "what's it like to be a rock?", or "to be a hot rock?", or "a cold rock?" doesn't make much sense since there's presumably nothing that it's like to be a rock regardless of its temperature.

I don't understand this analogy. What you are doing is ultimately putting a mirror on yourself. You and I have no idea what it is like to be each other. In fact, I would argue you don't even know "what its like to be yourself from 1 day ago". You will ultimately be just reflecting your own current experience unto your supposedly previous self.

So, "what its like to be a rock". I don't know. Concsiousness is just that mysterious. If you lay out an array of iterations of my body. Where i=0 is my whole body, and i=1 is my body minus 1 atom, and this goes on up to N of my atoms. Then at what index does conscious stop and start? To say that a rock and an atom to not have a consciousness (however different/miniscule in experience they are) is to put hard wall at some index K on this array. I just don't think that's true.
This is the thing, no. _Even adjusted for inflation_, the pre-industrial working class (and the early-to-mid-industrial working class, for that matter) was paid barely anything. This was recognised as a problem at the time, even; a lot of the push for the reform of the Corn Laws in Britain, say, came from capitalists, who were, rightly, concerned that the working class _couldn't actually afford to buy any of their products_ (this largely played out; once they were repealed, living costs fell, wages rose, and the consumer market expanded greatly).

Adjusting for inflation also gets messier the further you go back. After the repeal of the Corn Laws the average person's day to day obligatory expenses went down dramatically, but it's barely a blip on the inflation charts.

The Proposal for a European Media Freedom Act

I think epaper works in a similar way to lcd, ie appplying an electric field across some kind of reactive layer - polarizing liquid crystals, tiny charged colored spheres, etc?

I only ever see high-resolution epaper matrices, but in principle I think you should be able to have much simpler epaper segment displays and so on, just like for lcds. Is there some reason this is not a thing?

For this clock, cool as it is, lack of a backlight seems to limit it to being a desk clock. I can see a larger epaper display working well as a wall clock, but it would have to be much cheaper than a full high-resolution matrix display, hence my comment above.
It's not really fixed at all.
I thought this was going to be a new kind of logical clock I didn't know about. I'm devastated.
RealThunder's fork fixes so much. I almost wish they'd just scrap everything, clone his work, and start again from there.
Is Docker CLI free of charge?
I was under the impression that Docker Desktop is paid (5+) users, but Docker CLI free of charge on Mac. You need the daemon to run images.
The documentation is not clear; it says that Docker Engine is open source, but not whether it is paid or not. Thoughts?

AFAIR not only would SLAM arguably be a WMD in its own right but it would also be dropping multiple H-bombs along the way.
What "extra unusable content" are you talking about? With the recommended setup you only ship the CSS that your website uses.
I'm not suggesting they manually respond to DMCA requests. I'm saying that should they wish to automate the process, they should have a large enough team to handle the appeals from such an automated process promptly.

A business being taken offline for two weeks without notice or recourse is unacceptable in my opinion. How many small businesses have the reserves to weather that? And even if they did, the stress of it happening again a week later, or the week after that?
"what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence"

It's on the person who is implying a causation to state why they think that there is such a causal relationship.

Marriage success and child success have so many other things that they are correlated to: Home ownership, IQ, wealth, zip code, parental educational background, ability to talk about feelings, empath, conflict skill, ...,

So somebody comes around and picks "Marriage" out of this huge list, and somehow now the burden is supposed to be on the listeners to disprove it?
The project management example just has 3 views that show the data in each table… that’s not an app that’s simply a database/table management admin ui.

Does it actually build apps or just connect an admin ui with a database?
A small comment: the cited sentence predates the Opium Wars by many decades and comes from a reply to a failed British diplomatic mission (Macartney mission). Though the events are certainly loosely connected.
I don't think you want that. I just cancelled conversion when opening a text file, and all floats were text. But not the integers.

Oh. Now it stopped asking, and just converts everything.
In practice most countries are mixed having private and government funded ("socialised") care, including the UK and the US I think - medicare is I think government funded?

The issue in the US seems more that the system has been corrupted by special interests. I guess the fix is maybe more fixing the political system a bit?

The whole term "socialised" is a bit indicative of the politics. You don't call other stuff that is government funded socialised like US's socialised road construction or socialised military?
I beg to differ. Formatting and flashing an sd card are worthy skills, but are unlikely to capture the imagination of a school age child. Making a basic alarm from a light sensor, an led, and a microcontroller (such as a micro:bit) just might.

RasPis are great, but they seem too much like the sort of phone-like "well behaved appliances" that are ubiquitous in all our lives now. Imo, as a starter platform for children they are just too complex, they present too high an obstacle to get started, and have too much potential for distraction. I suspect that a lot of Pi's that were provided to children ended up just being used to play Minecraft.

"The ancients knew" is always a good start.

Or 92 mL/second. Or 46-92 mL per beat.

I read 10 billion capillaries elsewhere, but let's go with '5 million' capillaries.

This would mean the heart pushes 18.2 nanolitres through each capillary per second.

Not just the Amstrad PCW series, but also the Amstrad CPC home computers as well as the ZX Spectrum +3 (produced after Amstrad bought Sinclair)
The thing is, now we use and pay the price for both - memory is managed in software, and yet CPU MMU and caches have to sacrifice space on the die for complex memory mappings. Instead we could get extra transistors for better performance (or, like in Apple CPUs, dedicated instructions for GC languages).
True but can’t Web Assembly also be non-GC’d?
I am sure, because people literally say: 'I will ban anyone who says "correlation doesn't imply causation"'
Most of this Article focuses on the argument that you can use CSS classes for code deduplication.

> There is no need to write a component for every situation because you can use external CSS

Unless you're writing the most basic document-type html, this is awful advice.
Even the tiniest widgets can be subject to a structural change. I can only think of the line: "Implement Select, 2000 issues" [1]
Admittedly, CSS can correct the structure in some cases. Grid gives us more control over the arrangement, :before and :after can add elements... but in the end, you're just praying that you won't run into a requirement for which you need to update 200 html instances. The realisation that styling is inherently coupled to the structure, and that you will rarely have two components with both identical structure and style, is why css is generally scoped to each component.

For anything that is scoped globally, use a component.

> ???-to-brain: our brains keep records of conscious experiences and these records are why we're able to have such conversations as these

There's no such thing at ???-to-brain. You have zero control over what you will sending to the brain. And whatever it is that is sending that message to the brain, that is not "you". It is just another phenomena of the universe. In fact, "you" don't have any control over what you are going to do next. When I "command" my brain to lift my hand up, I ultimately have no idea where that command is coming from.

It is more like "brain <-> ???? <-> outside world" or "reality<-> ??? <-> reality" because we are just a witness to whatever the reality is doing.
So Shopify does the same as youtube?

Except youtube has not taken legal action on behalf of their users.
3D constraints are really interesting. I can see a lot of potential.

But also, 2D Sketching is a nice easy "Stay in your comfort zone" model that keeps as much work as possible in 2D where it's easier to think about, and encourages 2.5D stuff that's easy to understand. For basic functional items it's nice. For other stuff... 3D constraints seem pretty interesting.

The Greek said the sea was green, for example; so did the Romans.

The Romans did have a word for blue, but it only applied to the sky.
It's also lazy and pointless to have a discussion based on 0 evidence.
This is really not true. It is not even true that historical books would actually write stories.

Nor is it true that historical fiction would be limited to what was true about history. They literally intentionally make stuff up. That is what they are even expected to do.
You are in agreement then.

Right, in a good way.
You get to be the largest and most-profitable carmaker, aka Toyota.

I only buy used cars, and past the ~7-year-old range used Toyotas routinely cost about twice as much as any other brand for equivalent model/mileage/condition. Yet I still pay the markup because every time I work on mine I am astonished by the fanatical obsession they have with reliability. I'm sure this value retention is reflected in the profit margin on new Toyotas.
Xi used to face some opposition prior to the last party Congress but he managed to have much of them replaced by loyalists [1] [2]. So it's increasingly becoming a one man show.

Even if it doesnt require money at the moment, I wouldn't count on it remaining that way.
I really like it. Especially together with otel-collector it’s easy to get logs, tracing and metrics in a standardised manner that allows you to forward any metrics/tracing to SRE teams or partners.

For example, sent your logs to Splunk, sent your traces to New Relic and metrics to Prometheus. Also sent a filtered limited set of traces and logs to a partner that wants the details. It’s great.

Only annoying bit is that not all functionality described in spec is implemented in each language. For example, exemplars are not supported in JavaScript/Node.

I do hope that the big parties Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic would better support semantic conventions and less rely on their own agents.
China has a long history of closing itself away against foreigners and their disruptive ideas, yes. It also has a long history of stagnation caused by the same.

At the end of the day, "wanting to be a superpower on par with the US or greater" and "isolating yourself from barbarians" are two incompatible goals. Superpowers need to build coalitions and attract allies; this cannot be done without some mixing of the involved nations, even if it just concerned students, businesspeople, investors, soldiers and diplomats.
Perhaps a bit pedantic, but would be more accurate to say that Base64 encodes binary data into a subset of ASCII characters, since ASCII has 128 code points - 95 printable characters and 33 control characters - whereas Base64 uses 64 - 65 if we include the padding - of those.
but those don't exactly map to what we call green and blue today.

> Without an MMU, swapping to disk becomes a sizeable challenge.

Swapping object graphs out to disk (and substituting entry points by swap-in proxies) was a thing in Smalltalk systems, and I expect Lisp machines must have had their own solutions. For that matter, 16-bit Windows could (with great difficulty) swap on an 8086, and other DOS “overlay managers” existed. Not that I like the idea, necessarily, but this one problem is not unsolvable.
>To be sure, the law does require the person or entity filing the complaint to attest "under penalty of perjury" that the accusation of copyright infringement is true.

It doesn't. It requires them to attest under penalty of perjury that they are authorised to act on behalf the copyright holder, but not to the accuracy of the take-down claim.
Good. Snapped something up that met my salary expectations after 60 days of searching hard. By hard I mean I abused LinkedIn, I messaged everyone I knew in every company I saw that was actively hiring and asked if they’d refer. Then I messaged everyone else letting them know I was on the market.

Then I attended meetups when I wasn’t applying.

I worked harder getting a job than I am working this current job.
I mean it's not that bad, but companies can be very picky.

There is also the issue of job posts that are not real, in the sense that the company isn't actually hiring. Unless maybe a unicorn drops on them I guess.
