The concurrency comes from providing mechanisms to communicate between independent, asynchronous chains of operations.

Here is an example, that I based on an example from within the Go spec: https://github.com/joeycumines/ts-chan/blob/main/examples/co...

Here is the same example in Go: https://github.com/joeycumines/ts-chan/blob/main/examples/co...

The JS example is, obviously, much slower, and is fairly contrived - I wouldn't expect anyone to actually want to do that, specifically. The JS one is more complicated primarily because I used it in a benchmark, so needed a mechanism to stop the concurrent, asynchronous chains of operations, once it reached the target number of primes.

I hope that explains it for you.
I was writing an SVG editor web app but didn't know anything about the fabricjs api. Here's a portion of my prompts with chatgpt (april 2023 version, the date at the top is the share date). The initial code came from a different chatgpt thread.

https://chat.openai.com/share/e630c5d4-d492-43cb-b7e5-214ff8...

I finished the app in 2 days, with a third day for css/visual styling. I previously might have hired someone to do this or tried to figure it out myself, which would have taken about a month.

At the end of this thread chatgpt kind of goes off the rails a bit and fails to center the uploaded image. I think this is because it can't execute the code and see its results, and can only take blind guesses at what the problem might be.

I still had to write about 10% of the code myself, but it's about 10x faster for me to use chatgpt. I think I'd use chatgpt even if it were slower, because I prefer "thinking in natural language" vs "thinking in code"

here is the final app in production: https://tinyurl.com/368w3a9y
> On Arch, packages just kinda vanish from the repos it seems like.

Arch isn't designed to hold your hand, it encourages users to do their own research and due diligence, it expects responsibility from their users.

Arch Linux is nothing more than pacman and makepkg, both are designed to give you bare-bones packaging capabilities, how you use those tools and manage your system is up to you.

pacman has the -Qm option which will show you packages that are no longer in the database, so you very much can do the same, i.e. plan ahead.

A major difference of portage (in contrast of pacman) is that portage has a lot more abstractions (USE flags, EAPI, news, etc) but those come at the cost of complexity.
Electrons, quarks, gluons and muons are more probability fields than they are objects. Their mass is more of a fluidic slurry storm than actual matter.

Our world may be knowable but only within sloppy boundaries.
Modern building techniques also play a big part in it. Houses build to modern building standards (see Scandinavia and Central Europe - the UK and Ireland is still lacking here) uses a hell of a lot less energy for heating than houses built even two decades ago.

Last year I was renting a house built in the early 2000s. It was poorly insulated and inside we had the thermostat set to 18c, yet our gas bill for November was €400. Over Christmas I moved into a newer house built in 2018 that was the same size, the thermostat was set to 22c and during February (which was much colder than November) the gas bill was under €200.
“If you’ve used more triangles than there are pixels on the screen, you’ve messed up.”

I call this kind of thing the “kilobyte rule” because a similar common problem is shoving tens of megabytes of JSON down the wire to display about a kilobyte of text in a browser.

I feel sacking customers got really popular during Covid and continued after.

Many phone systems have a thinly veiled threat about zero tolerance policies, to treat staff with respect, and in the case of certain government agencies here in the UK, that they will refer cases to the police. The same is repeated on written posters in eg doctors and dentist offices

Just a coincidence I’m sure but I find employees (especially on the phone) even more condescending and unhelpful these days
Or you need better digital ID systems to reduce risk of fraud?

Example: In the EU all internet transactions require a second factor, it's annoying -- but typing in a credit card number is already crappy UX.

But making identify theft harder could also reduce risk of keeping clients with abnormal patterns. Since the bank will have more confidence that the customer isn't subject to identity theft.

Obviously, there are more options. Maybe, banks should be held more accountable.

But increasing the bar for fraud by having a strong online identity system could probably raise the bar a lot.
In evolutionary terms I don't think that there was anything that represented a danger to grizzly bears (save adult males killing cubs) so they may not have evolved behavior patterns to run from big loud things.

I live in a dense part of Brooklyn, and I would estimate that 3-5% of all of the cars I see on my daily commute (by bicycle) have defaced, obscured, or illegal paper plates.

If you want to see evidence of this yourself, I'd recommend stopping by the 78th precinct. NYC's finest have many creative examples to offer.

Edit: A recent article on the phenomenon[1]. It's hard to get statistics for this kind of thing, since the NYPD has demonstrated a tactical indifference towards it.

Are you talking about a specific law, or about the clause in your constitution?

If the latter: the postal clause merely gives congress some powers, but does not require them to do anything.
Well that I agree with, though mainly because robots.txt is only an ask and can be ignored by scrapers.

I do prefer site owners being able to limit how their content can be used though. That's individual choice much like choosing a software license for open source code, and totally unrelated to net neutrality as far as I understand it.
FYI if you need a cycle in Airflow you can stitch DAGs together with datasets. The simplest would be to just have a DAG update the same dataset that it consumes. Whether it actually corresponds with a dataset out there is immaterial, it can just be an event trigger.

There are plenty of Marxist communes with no dead, but they never worked, either. The US has had something like 20,000 of them.

It's probably the most tried and failed system in history. There are even examples that predate Marx - the Jamestown and Plymouth settlements.

It's perfectly legal in the US to set up a commune. The people who want it are free to give it a go.
That sounds reasonable. I expect a school I send my children to to teach them proper conduct and discipline them for bad behavior. What I don't expect them to do is refer them to the state attorney for prosecution when they haven't physically harmed anyone or destroyed any property.
What about boring old taxes?
Well, the usual answer should be boring old taxes, not inflation, if you want to finance something that user fees don't cover. Just like it's done for nearly every other government programme?
There's at least one company in the market in Australia with a metal hydride absorber system[1], and it's still nowhere near cost effective for household usage (or really any usage IMO: I can't figure out where this would fit where batteries or something much larger like Vanadium or Iron-flow would not).

CHP is also, IMO, cheating since the retrofits to take advantage of the waste heat aren't simple or non-invasive - i.e. theoretically CHP could power hot water and air conditioning for me via heat pumps, but in practice doing any of that residentially is prohibitively expensive.

I forgot about the time distortion from that! When I was in high school I like to get to first or 2nd plateau and ride around town on my bike listening to music on my MP3 player.

Bears are weird. Cocaine bear actually happened, although it was a very small black bear and it died of an overdose before it could hurt anybody [0].

I've had bears in my yard fairly often. They used to come at night and tear up my porch trying to get to the bird feeders. We finally wised up and stopped feeding the birds.

One time a bear tore up my windshield wipers because I made the mistake of leaving a candy bar in my truck overnight.

Bears are weird, but you learn their weirdnesses when you live in the country.

And they will continue to not care, because they will be able to avoid being affected.

The racism mention in the article is notable - this isn't prima facie racism (and certainly affects more than minorities), but it is derivative racism since "people who can actually be heard to go through the system in the right way" is race-skewed.

Walmart or 7-11 or so? Jokes aside, giving banking licenses to retailers might be a sensible thing to do. (Or removing the whole system of banks requiring licenses altogether would be even better.)
For the commenters saying people should just get over it:

Imagine a similar fake was made of you. In it, you are shown to be performing sex acts your community and employer find objectionable. Would you want to be told to just get over it? Should women under threat of "honor killings" for perceived expression of sexuality or independence, just get over it?

Or imagine you're faked into saying political opinions that are the opposite of what you believe? Opinions your peer group find abhorrent?

Or you are faked into saying or doing something illegal?

Grid scale batteries wouldnt be the most cost effective short term storage - pumped storage like coire glas in scotland is.

If the UK had another 10 or 15 of those (perfectly doable and economic) that would provide ~8 hours of storage. That would be enough by itself to provide a 94-96% solar/wind powered grid.

For that last 3-4% of seasonal/peaking storage and backup nothing beats hydrogen yet. It's only 50% efficient roundtripped but it stores very cheaply for very long periods.

If you turned all solar and wind energy into hydrogen and only burned that for electricity it would still be cheaper than power from a nuclear plant.

Batteries are probably best used in cars or places which can't connect to pumped storage (which are pretty rare).
This right here is why the Mastodon userbase is so unappealing to so many of us. Ridiculous extremist thinking.

But who were the people who regarded such stories as irrational and magical. How widespread was that belief?

Like what?

I mean, there are literally requirements even for these very products. It's just that they were given special permits to operate. California revoked these permits for Cruise. It is my opinion that they shouldn't have been given in the first place for such nascient and unproven technology. But the government and taxpayers, the latter unwittingly, have been swindled into dumping money into these companies.

The most comprehensive make alternative in python I've seen is Scons (https://scons.org/)

It would be worth to see how they tackles some of the challenges you're looking into.

Blurb from the website:

SCons is an Open Source software construction tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software.

Yes! The people doing it should also change their attitudes. In the meantime, declaring your life “ruined” because of the existence of some AI hallucination of what your naked body might look like does not seem helpful.

Further, any efforts to impose real consequences on the victim such as denying a job or expressing that they should feel shame (as if they have done something wrong) are also unhelpful and should be roundly mocked and derided.
$75K/$5K per month is a very low threshold for private banking, other banks usually require somewhere in the three digits range.
I have something very similar. When I get very focused on something, you can ask me what I had for breakfast, and I'll vividly remember and recount making an omelette; but that was three weeks ago. This goes for pretty much anything, even very unique events. I can remember it well, but I can only place it within about an 8 month period, even if it was just a week or two ago. I'm quite nervous about ever having to be in a court proceeding, giving a deposition or anything like that where specific dates are required; it just escapes me how people remember this stuff.

> claiming in 2008 that PVs are too expensive

You're misrepresenting the analysis.

In the 15 years since, public support for PV flipped from con to pro, and we've learned that much less land must be allocated to just PV.

As noted in the OC, Mackay's contribution was methodological. It easily accommodates different assumptions and updated numbers. O'Callaghan et al did just that. Yielding a new conclusion.
How does that work in practice? She can read a clock right? So would she just not remember to look at the clock to see the time? Genuinely curious.
What moral right do they have to put data on devices you own?

TPMs jeopardize the ownership of a device. Consumer devices are already sold where you can't (easily) inspect or change anything.

Even a user-controlled TPM can be used as storage for keys used to usurp control of the device. The existence of IME and PSP enables manufacturers to have more control over computing devices than the people who buy and operate them.

There is no moral defense for sabotaging ownership.
It's pretty easy to work around that:

I've been considering adding a `select` function, but I was concerned with the overhead of recreating the select case each time, and wanted to reserve it for a time once I've mulled over my options (I'm aiming to avoid making breaking changes, even though it's pre-v1).

With receives, there's a value attached, and that presents some difficulties regarding typing (for TypeScript).

You have given me an idea, however: I _might_ be able to wrangle together a mechanism that avoids making it a two-step deal (get the index, then resolve the type). It'd probably support only a subset of the functionality, though.

It's on my list to add a simple example to the README using the `Chan` class. Communicating with a single channel (with or without abort support) is very simple, and I'm happy with the API for that.

Stockbuzznow is a fraud and keeps charging me
I heard about stockbuzznow on this platform. I signed up to see what it was about. After about a year of not using their service I reached out to them to have my account cancelled. They ended up charging me still..and even though that pissed me off I thought my account was canceled. But now I'm seeing a charge through paypal for stockbuzznow...meaning my account has still not been cancelled. After logging in I realize there's no way to cancel your account, there's no cancellation button. There should be a way to take legal action against this POS company. WTF!
Neither Farenheit nor Celcius are "superior" on their own. However, Celcius slots in to scientific notation nicely, which gives it a huge benefit.

I'm Canadian. I deal with a bastard mix of metric and imperial daily. Farenheit is the one unit I've never needed to learn in the slightest. I can deal with lbs, feet, inches, etc.

As for claiming base 12 is superior because you can divide by 3, what happens when you divide by 10? Surely if base

That's not how the Supreme Court works. The Supreme Court only agrees to consider a small number of cases every year, which are usually cases that could have a significant impact on constitutional law. If the Supreme Court refuses to hear a case, the decision of the lower court (federal appeals court) would stand.
I find it immensely helpful for boilerplate code and ‘autofilling’ trivial things.

It’s like a next generation intellisense.

On average, instead of spending about 5 mins copying and modifying code, I can spend about 2-3 mins typing out a comment and letting the LLM generate the code.

It gets the code 100% correct about 90% of time. Sometimes it’s about 90% correct about 10%.
So we pander to feelings? It's a dichotomy? Either we are vulcans or we pander to feelings. That sounds unreasonable.

First, teens take nudes of themselves to send to each other because they're horny. When those nudes get leaked, it's betrayal by someone they trust, it's actually a picture of them that they took, and it is harassment. Now, killing yourself in response to it, that in my mind is an indicator of an unhealthy environment at school. But that's still a real violation of their trust, it's real harassment, it is understandable that they'd feel extreme stress as a result. We are talking about drawings, not some mirror selfie some girl sent to her boyfriend that he showed his friends. The two scenarios are not the same thing.

People behaving in ways that aren't rational is a core part of a moral panic. I don't care if people share my views on sex. Moral panics to make homosexuality illegal had different views of sexuality also. Just because someone has a different view than me doesn't give them the right to pass laws that affect everybody. We ideally determine what should be illegal based on what's reasonable, not based on how people feel. It is unreasonable to throw people in jail for technologically modern doodles.
Yeah and key here is that there's nothing to stop you from cloning the repo for a package, checking out an older revision, and running makepkg (granted, it's not guaranteed to work but...)
Yes, it would be good if we deregulated, so that banking wasn't special.
