Yes there can be a social thing, I had a friend who collected Starbucks city mugs, so people would bring them to her from all over the world.

On the “associated” thing - not so much about collections but there was an interesting article on the guardian website a few months ago, about a woman who came to realise that ‘I like Prosecco’ was not a substitute for a personality, but she had run with it for so long that that was all she ever got as a gift, and she discovered her friends knew very little else about her.

There's a lot of COBOL on the zSeries/pSeries/iSeries platforms. I haven't seen too much on SPARC, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The isotopic content of the water matters too. Boiling point are not used to calibrate thermometers though. Freeze points and triple points are used for temperature calibration. And outside of a primary standards lab, it’s usually just a transfer standard (another, more accurate thermometer).
Micro-USB is disgraceful trash, that is true. I have no beef with the Lightning physical connector. It's the poor capabilities of the port (and Apple's lockdown of it) that hobble its usefulness.

The proliferation of USB connectors was especially pathetic after the SCSI-connector fiasco. Some people and/or organizations just don't learn.

> [1] several sources, and most recently the NYT have shown that the rocket that the zinoist media said it caused the blast in the hospital actually came from israel.

I haven't seen anything that showed any conclusive proof that the rocket came from Israel, the blast pattern doesn't match any armaments that Israel has airburst or not.

I'm happy to change my mind with a link that provides concrete evidence though, can you provide one.

> Drivers backing from driveways without looking for pedestrians.

> Drivers speeding at crossings that have poor visibility due to hedges.

Both of these are things you should be watching for. When approaching driveways, look for people inside the car, that means the car might move. And a crossing with poor visibility for the driver probably has poor visibility for the walker as well, so don't cross until you're sure there is no traffic.

If you truly are having close calls with cars all the time, it might be benefitial to walk more defensively. I can see having close calls in the above if one isn't paying attention, but not otherwise. Always make eye contact with drivers to get a sense of what they're doing, they might wave you to go first or you can wave them to go if in doubt.

> Drivers making right turns on red only looking left for oncoming traffic without also looking right for pedestrians.

Wait, if they are turning on red it means the pedestrian also has a red.

> In winter, cars driving too fast relative to the amount of traction they actually have on icy streets.

That I could see. Thankfully no winter as such here (silicon valley).

Yes, cycling is much more dangerous, since you're sharing the road with cars. I still bike a lot but yes, it's more dangerous.

Walking shouldn't be though, since you have a separate sidewalk and as long as you pay attention when crossing.

Ai problems boil down to compiling linear algebra problems onto very complicated chips.

In standard processing, the code is so branchy that we often resort to heuristics in order to get 'good enough' perf.

The FLOPS difference between a cpu and gpu is huge. It makes things that are intractable on cpus possible. Without gpus there is no deep learning.

That being said, writing code for gpus by relying on cpu compilers will result in terrible perf. In order to take advantage of the hardware you have to take into account minute details of the architecture that most cpu compilers ignore.

Cache oblivious algorithms are algorithms that know that there is a cache but don't rely on particular cache sizes. It's the way a lot of cpu code is written because it means not having to deal with particulars.

On gpus, particulars matter. For example, to compile a matrix multiply on an Nvidia GPU, you cant just use vectorized multiplies and adds. No. In order to achieve max performance you need to utilize the warp level matrix multiply instruction which requires that you split an arbitrarily sized matrix into the perfect native tensor sizes and then orchestrate the memory loads (which are asynchronous on gpus, and transparently synchronous on cpus) correctly. If you don't you waste millions of dollars (literally).

So whereas on a cpu you might just modify your matrix multiply loops to get contiguous memory access and add some vectorization in and cross your fingers, on a gou your compiler needs to take the trivial three nested loop algorithm, look up the cache size particulars and instruction capabilities for the particular generation of the chip, and then rewrite the loop nesting to make it optimal. All while making sure you don't introduce further memory hazards (bank conflicts), etc. So your simple three nestled loop algorithm gets turned into a nine nested loop monstrosity.

The stakes are much higher here and the optimizations much different. Whereas on a cpu, we kind of give up with the branching complexity, and just do our best since we never truly know the state of the program, on gpus, the algorithms being executed are extremely amenable to static analysis so we do that, and optimize the shit out of them.
I recently deployed a Phoenix LiveView app[1] on a shared-cpu-2x 512MB fly machine[2]. Configuration and deployment was non-trivial with their CLI. I ran `fly launch`[3] which auto-detected the project's codebase as a Phoenix app which then auto-generated a Dockerfile with support for rust NIF built using rustler so I didn't have to do anything extra to support the project's rust dependency. Overall, it was a convenient experience and wanted to share.

I know that nobody gets $250k upfront for 3 seconds of music on TikTok on the off chance that it could lead to millions more in streaming royalties later. I note the writer didn't bother to quiz the A&R guy on the structure of said quarter-mill offer.

The top record labels haven't changed places since the bad old days. You know why Spotify's never made a profit in 15 years? It's because all their revenue goes to pay licensing fees to the big 5. Spotify can't make its own music a la Netflix, which is why they're desperate to build podcast revenue.

> You still need to pass the CBP exam, have your social media profile scanned by them, or you can be rejected at the border because the CBP agent doesn't like you got convicted for pot at 18.

We agree that the US government border rules for noncitizens are far too invasive and harsh, especially as to drug rules - though the core of that harshness comes from laws passed by the elected legislators, with only part of it coming from agency regulations and culture.

Much of that awfulness is not about a lack of reciprocity for the visa exemption: what you describe applies even to people who do need visas, not only to those who qualify for the Visa Waiver Program.

Even Canadians, who normally are truly exempt from needing any kind of pre-approval at all to show up at a US port of entry with a Canadian passport, can still be interrogated and refused for all the same reasons as any European - they can just skip the advance approval, aside from any waiver they might need due to previously having been found inadmissible, but they are still rolling the dice at the border as with any other visitor.

By contrast, people who need US visas have far more expense and hassle to deal with than the still-bad bullshit that the US puts most European tourists through - on top of most of that bullshit, not instead of it.

> You Americans don't have to endure any of that to enter the Schengen area.

Very true, but again, this difference between the systems is far more pervasive than just any lack of reciprocity. The European immigration and border control systems are just plain more humane and less broken than the US equivalents, regardless of which countries exempt which other countries from which documentation requirements.

> I have zero reason to believe ETIAS will be ready by that date.

It’s true that it’s been delayed an absurd number of times so far and could get delayed again. But the biggest reason for the duration of the latest delay is just a short-term political matter rather than anything technical: France wants to delay the Entry/Exit System until after the Paris Olympics, and ETIAS depends on that working well for some months.

From what I’ve read, the IT side of things is close to ready. We will see. I would not be surprised by further small delays, but I do expect these systems to begin operating within a few years instead of beyond that time.
Elixir/BEAM seems like an ideal solution to many common problems. Why has it not caught on more yet? Can anyone who uses it give a devils advocate position or is everyone just lagging behind on something thats going to get more and more common?

Perhaps a little verbosity is good to make programming accessible to a larger audience. I've been programming for over twenty years, but the seemingly redundant "AT", "TO" and "PERFORM" does help the flow in my head. Almost as if it brings into play more of my brain's language centres because now the code can actually be read out aloud.

I tried this out this week for a 2 page technical memo. It generally works great, and pandoc can sort of convert latex to typst to get you started, but the crucial thing it’s missing atm is the ability to embed pdf images. You have to convert to svg or a rasterized format first. Way too much of my workflows are written to produce visualizations in pdf, and this creates enough friction to keep me from using it for anything bigger than a memo. Other than the pdf thing though, I’m sold. The improved compilation time (which is not an overleaf thing — latex is slow) is huge

Yes. Suppose you're communicating with signal flags. You have a black flag and a white flag, and assign them to represent 0 and 1 respectively. If you can change flags once per second, you have a bit rate of 1 bit per second, and the baud rate is also 1 (1 flag change per second).

Now suppose you have a red flag and a green flag as well, and assign black = 00, white = 01, red = 10, and green = 11.

If it still takes you one second to change flags, the baud rate is still one. However, each symbol change now encodes two bits, so the bit rate has doubled, to two bits per second.

the SSR first trend for SPAs finally pushed me away from React(along with Vue,etc). I'm an embedded developer, I can not run node.js on the target, even MVC on the server(i.e. target board) in C or Lua could be too heavy, so SPA with restful was the best option, now all SPAs are turning into SSR-first and making things even more complex, I can no longer justify the time spending chasing the modern frontend any more, I need alternatives.

I'm trying nim for SPA at the moment, also thinking about some C based restful approach(civetweb, ulfius)

An amusing feature of solenoid valves is that the inductance increases as the plunger is pulled into the coil. When driven by AC, it causes an initial "kick" of current that gets the slider moving, followed by a lower holding current. Thus it fortuitously optimizes the current budget of the power supply.

Also, when a plunger gets stuck, the coil continues to draw a lot of current, and could burn up. This is a failure mode of solenoid valves in industrial processes. You can get DC solenoid valves, but the coils are bigger and they're more expensive. It means you shouldn't run an AC solenoid on DC unless you're really thinking hard about what you're doing.

And speaking of failure modes, another amusing feature of solenoid valve systems is the sheer number of ways that they can fail. One thing that's always counterintuitive to beginners is that a valve or its control circuit (or firmware) can get stuck in the "on" position. This is true of solid state and mechanical relays. A well engineered system plans for this possibility. "Stuck" could mean releasing a lot of energy (e.g., if controlling a heater or motor), or flooding your garden, or your house.

I agree. This is a useful prototyping tool. Arduino’s pro line is actually not bad in this regard, and this seems to be a meaningful improvement.

When I’m throwing stuff together, I want stuff to “just work”. Merging ecosystems in this way is an asset, even if only occasionally useful or in edge cases. This is the sort of thing that prevents blockers and slow-downs by increasing available options on your platform.
I don't think I'd enjoy writing COBOL but array programming is actually fun to do. The experience is very refreshing compared to the verbose clean-code Software Engineering orthodoxy that seems all prevailing these days. A language that doesn't change the way you think is not worth learning, and that is definably the case with APL and its successors. It is more a tool for power users that type symbols as their way to interact with a computer
I'm sure you could try to look it up— IIRC I think satellite lifespan in Project Echo was limited by drag on the balloon from a relatively low orbit, not depletion of sublimator.

But if you're just talking about the sublimator, why wouldn't it last however long you want it to, depending on how much sublimator you put in it? Plastic's pretty airtight even if it's not perfect, and it's not like you need a ton of pressure to hold shape in a zero-g vacuum.
