I think the title (from JPL author) is not suitable to convey the message that this piece will talk about triggering and accusation system for nuclear physics experiments. And I disagree with that part

> But turning data collection on and off to capture individual events requires a trigger, an expensive, complicated piece of hardware with embedded software that uses specific criteria to decide when events occur during the run of an experiment.

Trigger can be easily be fully software based (LHCb from LHC have that already). And actually this is exactly what JPL, get rid of hardware triggering (like usually most of the experiments do) and move it to software based. And because the pile-up is much less than say LHC experiments (and physics of interest is much narrowly defined) they could do some real-time analysis on the data.

> Microsoft went insane with .NET so VB6 was killed in the process.

I'd love to hear more about this perspective or any links to get more of it.

I did a (very) little hobby VB6 and loved it. Never made switch to .NET at that time (I was young, it was a hobby).

Having recently worked through part of a .NET book, I was pretty impressed by how far MS took it (although it seems extremely mind-numbing). Obviously it took a long time and had false starts, but MS stuck with it. On a personal level, I am very opposed to the entire model in an ideological sense, but it does seem to make a lot of business sense for MS, and it seems to cover a lot of cases for a lot of businesses.

So, was Microsoft's insanity with .NET just the obsession part, or doing things poorly for a while, until eventually getting it "righter", or is the insanity still pretty apparent?

I really would love to learn more about the historical-technical aspects of this specific comment quote, from VB6 to modern day, because it fits my experience perfectly, but I've had second thoughts about the position more recently. The more the specifics the better.

I've been using mail in a box since 2016 for a handful of personal domains.
It's easy to setup and very low maintenance. Backups are solid too.

Just make sure your hosting package/provider allows and supports self-hosted mail. PTR dns records specifically as without your mail might work but much ends up in spam boxes.

Actually, this is an important comment. Building a spreadsheet with web technology is not that difficult. However, building one with more than just the most basic features, which performs well, once the data grows, is a surprisingly hard task.

To give an example of what makes it so difficult: Some browsers (e.g. Chrome) seem to have special optimizations for rendering tables. So performance-wise it makes a difference if you use table-tr-td-tags or div-tags within your DOM.
This was a beautiful read until I got to the part about disagreements. I think it may distract from the main message about the complexity of tasks and the value of experience.

I unironically am. Humans are not responsible enough to control a cheap material that doesn't biodegrade; it's everywhere now, including our own blood stream, because we took a material of near-infinite durability and used it for disposable packaging. Madness. We have lost the right to it.

You could also use that PCM stream to transmit Dolby Digital or DTS, but that's up to the device, not TOSLINK.
Also related to the ending, I‘ve come to realise more and more that most people reason out of belief first and arguments second on a lot of things (maybe most things?) Climate change deniers are an obvious example. But also more nuanced views such as "the software I make makes the world a better place" (I belief this myself), "me being a healthcare worker is a great thing for humanity", or "I need to game at least once a week to relax." And it makes sense. Many things are extremely complex and so picking one side and going for that will make sense in many cases. It’s often necessary to be able to make decisions. However, the risk is getting too stuck in certain ideas. It’s easier to accept a long held belief and reject opposing information than to re-evaluate.
You can’t because copyright law supersedes contract law and copyright law states that such rights are exclusive - thus contract law cannot be used to usurp or invent a copying restriction. Licensing is the exclusive right of the copyright owner and when no copyright exists there can be no license (or de facto equivalent).

Rumors that were reported on by a reputable news agency: https://www.reuters.com/technology/sam-altmans-ouster-openai...
I've been using maddy.email running quietly on my RPi for a couple of years now. I think it's 'simpler' than mail-in-a-box because it implements IMAP, SMTP, all in one server which can be backed by a database, instead of managing installation and updates of many different programs. It also does DKIM automatically and uses ACME/LetsEncrypt to automate certificate management.

It doesn't have as many features as mail-in-a-box though for a example no webmail or Cal/CardDAV, so I have to run those separately. It would be great to extend the project

Another similar project is stalw.art mail server. I haven't used that yet but it looks promising, and it supports JMAP (a possible IMAP successor)

A very common preconception is that the pilum was meant to bend after piercing a shield, thereby disabling it. If that's what you were expecting based on the title, the article takes a couple dozen paragraphs before it gets to the point:

> ...it is often asserted that the purpose of the long shank was to bend on impact, making the weapon impossible to throw back. Which is tricky because our sources don’t quite actually say this...[my] own view is that bending was possible, but was not the purpose of the long-shank design ...[which is] both shield penetrating (it can strike a man behind a shield) and shield disabling (the weapon is really heavy and quite hard to get out of a shield easily even if it doesn’t bend).
PWA definitely have their place, but the UX is unquestionably far worse.

I’d say though that I’d actually choose Tamagui and native if I was going for speed to ship. Even if building a PWA, Tamagui is a great way with components designed for mobile.
Religious overtones or are ancient religious texts the original sci-fi where its adherents a few generations removed never got the memo? Only kinda joking.

I have an Apple TV as well, and here are some things that really annoy me. First of all, the useless button on the side of the remote that I press by accident ALL THE TIME. Putting a button on the side of the remote where you grab it to pick it up is such a smooth brained idea. Second, Apple TV can NOT output uncompressed audio for whatever magical reason. I would prefer to have my amplifier process the audio, but it's not possible. Third, I had to buy the more expensive model to get an Ethernet port. Very silly.
I believe 'h' is an odd exception to such rules.
Yes, this is a huge problem. In fact, when looking into Swedish jobs, you are usually advised to try to get a personnummer ASAP to make your relocation as smooth as possible. Denmark also has similar problems with their digital ID.

Any unusual scenario turns into a nightmare. For instance, I moved abroad during their transition from a codecard to an app, and I lost access to my bank account and all ID-linked services despite warning my bank about the potential problems months ahead of the forced transition. The only way to regain access is to travel back to Denmark and visit my bank or my local council.

> You can use a pilum as a thrusting spear, but it isn’t particularly well designed for the role (weight distribution is all wrong, the long shank is fragile (bends) in ways you don’t want, etc). If the plan was to do that, you’d just do what most Gauls and Spaniards seem to do: carry one javelin and one thrusting spear. And in the event, our sources are quite consistent that when they imagine Roman heavy infantry in close combat, they are using their swords, not the pilum. So while that’s a possible use and it probably happened from time to time, I don’t think it was a normal use.

Bullshit. You can't write off "lost profits". The US corporate income tax code contains no such provision. Don't believe anything you read in the entertainment press, it's mostly fake news or at least not fact checked. Go ask your own income tax accountant if you don't believe me.
Yes, the “copyright base image that it uses as a scaffold” case is special and I agree that we’ve not seen the conclusion there yet. Though, it must be said that I’d expect to the extent that such copyright exists it’s going to belong to the original image author, not the model creator/user.
Oh, that other open source trope, I should publish a book.

Because maintaining an entire fork of any non trivial software is... trivial :-)

Let's just admit that these are complex problems and frankly after watching the hype for almost 20 years, open source proved to be an alternative and a good refuge for many things but on the end user side the early hype until 2008 or so was 80% wrong.
Nice. Super keen for the expansion. I'd assume tungsten mining drills, lava resource extractors and gas pumpjacks will be the major new buildings for this planet. Tungsten will probably be used in advanced buildings (high heat tolerance- lava landfill, rocket engines) and armour equipment as well as science. It seems that tungsten extraction may attract lava biters? The new terrain also looks great and it definitely seems like they're holding up the promise of delivering a whole new game's worth of content with this DLC.

There are some versions issues, and you need ask somebody to configure pipeline for you (install Android Studio, Xcode, VSC, etc, figure out how to work with it, etc), but overall answer - yes, you could choose version of Godot, which will easily export to mobile/console, after ONCE spent time to configure pipeline.

Sure, once will appear new release, too different, so will need again do pipeline configuration.
I actually agree that it feels weird but you can’t license something you don’t own and copyright law supersedes contract law.
I haven't had a chance to look at this in detail, but it reminds me of Ben Lynn's compiler. It also compiles a haskell like language to combinators, is self-hosting, and won a prize in the obfuscated C code contest.

I've recently been driving a policy at my workplace that if you find a PC unlocked, you send out an email blast promising donuts (also copying in the victim). The victim then has a choice: admit to a security breach and have to sit through a training session, or follow through with donuts. This incentivises reporting, and disincentivises leaving your computer unlocked through social, economic and experiental means

It's pretty good for customer support agent tools. Feed the LLM your company's knowledgebase and give it the context of the support chat/email/call transcript, and it suggests solutions to the agent.
Ah interesting. I had assumed there were different methods, something like:

gpt4.prompt(prompt)
gpt4.data(email_data)
response = gpt4.response()

If the interface is just text-in and text-out then Prompt injection seems like an incredibly large problem. Almost as large as SQL injection before ORMs and DB libraries became common.

> Is your math right? 90 million tons of water/10 m gets me 1.7 km2, so a 1 sq mi landfill would last around ... 1 year, not 287.

You're right, looks like I forgot to convert liters to tons.

>On the other hand, I'm not sure you can just assume that waste has the same density as water; from a cursory glance it seems to about 1/3.

is this before or after compaction? Intuitively speaking, most things I throw out would sink in water. A garbage bin/trash bag might float because it has a bunch of air, but presumably that will all get pushed out when buried 10 meters deep.

I have tested on 32" 4K and 27" 4K and there was no performance issues.

Slight degradation on Dell 42" 4K, could be because of the ppi or the pixel ratio, which might be causing canvas/row/cell/ dimensions to be not rounded to whole numbers (this can affect perf).

I've never met a reliable WiFi router. Even the expensive well-reviewed models have been disappointing.

For years now I have used ubiquiti Unifi access points (UFO looking) for the WiFi (small business, home, parents, installed for multiple different friends) and been very happy with connection reliability and range. PoE means you can install them where they provide good connectivity over many rooms.

I've often plugged them into friends shitty home routers and reliability has been okay.

If you want more complicated router functionality use a small computer and install open source.

I haven't really used any of their other gear, and I dislike their privacy policies and web login. I once used one of their point-to-point links and it worked really really well.
