It's illegal to booby-trap your house with the malicious intent to kill trespassers. With enough lawyers/lobbying, the same argument could work to criminalize the intent to break the product, even if it violates your license (separate offence).
that's a good question, i know that there are many characters that share one pronunciation, but i have not come across the reverse. there are different pronunciations in different dialects/languages of course, and maybe some of those get adopted by other dialects (that would make sense for food names for example) but i didn't study chinese, so i really don't know.

> you typically want these to not be affected by styling on the page, and if you do want them to be styled, you only want them to be styled in specific ways which you can build in via css custom property values

Ironically, this proves my point about opinions a bit - our design system is themeable and needs to cover a number of technologies and we want to inherit the app's CSS, not embed the styles or have to specify colors on every component.
I appreciate your optimistic take.

Income tax is specifically prohibited under the original US constitution. The modern federal income tax was enacted in 1913 at 1% for incomes over $3,000 (about $93,000 in today's money). By WWII, we had universal payroll withholding.

OP is here. First, thanks for all the comments. I am not aware that Fossil supports CGI and it open a new opportunity.

An important reason to use files instead of tickets or wiki is that not all my notes are in plaintext format. I unfortunately have many document in Office format. Therefore, I prefer not to use a system which solely supports text files. I need a system which can keep all the files while allow files to be opened by its application. Any system which do not have a local copy will not work well for me. Fossil does this well: it has a local copy so that files can be opened locally, it can sync to remote site, and text files can be read easily through web interface.

Another reason is that Fossil is local-first. I have written many versions of note keeping system in Rails. It is easy to start with and can be accessed easily. But migrating codes and database is not easy for someone who codes as a hobby. Keeping files in Fossil and synchronizing to other devices is just as easy as zipping all files and unzipping in another device. It is like rsync plus a web server in some sense. So instead of keeping a centralized database and maintaining it, Fossil allows me to work on files and I don’t need to worry about hosting and upgrading a database.

Of course all my comments are highly opinionated and are probably not applicable to others. It is just a demo and I appreciate all the comments. I choose Fossil because I happen to know it. I heard Hg, but never use it. So I cannot comment on the pros and cons.

I often see novice developers making the mistake of comparing React to Web Components, to htmx, to Qwik, etc.

React is not an equivalent of Web Components, but neither it is a front-end Web framework: it is neither a framework, nor it is specifically for the Web. What it is is a fairly small and general reactive GUI library[0]. Together with ReactDOM—a separate library—it can be used on the Web, but React itself can be used to render anything anywhere if you provide a suitable reconciler.

As such, React (itself as old as Web Components) may well still be there whether or not the state of the art in front-end Web development moves on to whatever the next stack might be.

[0] The distinction between frameworks and libraries, which tends to be lost on many fresh developers as well, is out of scope here but vital when it comes to software architecture.
Yeah, but...it's also subject to sample bias. Especially in a place like east Africa, having enough resources (not just money -- time, transport, etc.) to get a crazy expensive new vaccine could easily have co-variates that affect all-cause mortality.

It's great to report it, but you definitely want to see the cause-specific numbers, too.
No, it's pretty much "hold my beer, I got this" billions of times until something works.

Evolution isn't organized or eloquent. It's messy and random and non-optimized. Evolution results in many individuals who are not fit, any many evolved solutions are quite plainly bad.

Any elegance or beauty in evolution is a construct humans apply to an incredibly abstract and obtuse concept because that's just what we do to things that are difficult to grok.

Evolution is simply random mutations from various mechanisms, but the only guiding force is that of survival. Some random changes make some individuals more fit to survive, which makes the species more fit in time. There really isn't anything more to it. It's all just random chance averaged over a very, very long time.

Pfft, yeah, software devs. What good have they ever produced for society or those who depend on them. Better teach them how to dig ditches and truly unleash their human potential.
>What are those? Root of sum of squares? Why?

I see what you mean. Probably can be argued that learning and applying a specific concept doesn't necessarily imply learning the deeper mathematics behind it and understanding its nature. So can just say cosine similarity measures the similarity of two vectors (lists in python) and its implementation is that sum divided by the product of sqrts of those two other sums without having to introduce and explain dot product and norm. Of course the reverse can be argued too.
Yeah. The JS world is still so hung up about fat clients having all the control that it's missing all the interesting stuff happening in the server world.

> The downside to web components here is that they can only be run on the client, for all intents and purposes. There's no way to pass server-rendered shadow dom content on the server to the client, so even if your web component is fully non-interactive, you still need JS on the client in order to render it. That's not the case with other frameworks.

I thought you were going to argue that there is no way that a tag like <my-component></my-component> magically acquires all its inner html on the server all by itself. That it would need some kind of tool to help it. In that, I suppose, you are right. Although that tool can be literally any server-side templating engine that will fill <my-component> with the initial html it needs to bootstrap.

But server-rendered shadow dom can absolutely be passed to the client. It is called declarative shadow DOM; and it works in all major browsers other than Firefox; and Firefox is working on it right now. There's also a polyfill.

Yes it's creepy that O2 has pretty tight demographic data and shares some of that information with TfL, and we have to assume they're doing that for other more nefarious customers with fewer privacy restrictions. But telecoms being involved in that kind of shady business is old news.

I'm all for improving the information (given it's private) that public transit service lines and scheduling planners have access to if it means smoother transit and especially less dependence on cars.

Yes, and I'm not sure if I feel completely negative about it. On the one hand, just pay up if the value is there, don't play games, right? On the other, the employer is "calling your bluff" about it being, more or less, about money alone. In the end, the policy works, I think.
> Artists are still able to produce art with or without photoshop

And that's was some actual AI artists do too. Its massively turbocharging stuff thats they can do in an illustrator or photo editor, but just takes forever. The tooling around diffusion is a deep rabbit hole, and requires some skill to use.

There's an important distinction between that kind of artist and the "AI users" flooding the internet. They are more akin to dank meme makers using Photoshop.

Joe here. It's difficult to evaluate natural language responses that come from LLM applications - there are not hard metrics to measure performance like there are in say supervised machine learning tasks. For RAG, you have the response to evaluate as well as the retrieved context chunks. We found that using gpt-4 as an evaluator to measure the quality of RAG responses and the relevance of the context chunks gave similar results to using human evaluators at Tonic to do the same task. Some research also agrees that using LLMs as an evaluator for natural language tasks gives similar results to using human evaluators https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.05685.

As far as whether using gpt-4 is a safe approach, the best you could ask for is that gpt-4's evaluations match those of human evaluators, and that's what we've found as well as this research.
Super interesting. We've been experimenting with promptfoo[1] at my work, and this looks very similar.

> 13% is a large effect size,

You can't just say that. Depends on what you're measuring, how you measure it, and how big the denominator is.

The fact that they saw the same effect size in groups that didn't get the vaccine is a reason to doubt the results, regardless of effect size. It was weird/credulous that they called it out as some kind of mysterious woo-woo advantage ("maybe it helps their immune system somehow!"). When you see stuff like that in a paper, it makes you scrutinize the results. When you hear it in a conference talk, it makes you reserve judgment until you see the paper.
If you’re watching content that you don’t have lawful access to (i.e.: the licensing for those streams very likely doesn’t include you), it’s absolutely piracy. It’s just really easy and unenforceable piracy.

It's not only about the sanctity of the work, but the opportunity for other artists to earn a living and for the audience to avoid monoculture. Consumerism facilitates a winner-take-all system where one creator's voice overrides all others. It's better for all when a number of moderately successful artists can have artistic dialogue with a larger number of audience segments, even when moderated by commerce.
There are several special file types where the return value of `read` is guaranteed more than the general case.

A concept that leads to many amusing paradoxes. For instance, there is no validity to this theory, since Sapolsky could not have come up with an alternate theory by his own free will.

What this theory does accomplish is to beg the question: What is this "I" that does or does not have free will? I'm not sure science is the proper realm to address this question.
I think it's for the perfect people, who never have to amend commits, never commit to the wrong branch, only work on one branch at a time.. basically closer to SVN than GIT.

If all your git interaction is via "git commit" with occasional "git checkout", then fossil could be an interesting option - it has web frontend with stuff like wiki etc.. built in.

If you start working on "temp1" branch, make dozens of no-message commits and only then carefully make nice-looking PRs out of them, then fossil isn't for you. If you ever used force push to fix mistakes before anyone noticed.. then fossil isn't for you either.
