Beg buttons (aka crosswalk buttons) in pedestrian-heavy areas should be green to pedestrians, red to drivers by default. Drivers should roll the windows down, and press the beg button and wait for their turn. Cities are for people first, not machines· If they can roll their windows down in drive-ins, they can role to beg for permission to cross.

The very next example on the page is "imagine two complex numbers with the same magnitude and different angles". For that to answer the parent's question, you'd have to assume he stopped reading immediately after seeing the part he quoted.

The question is why the page says "imagine two real numbers that aren't comparable".
And rightly so.

First, penguins are birds. Birds are not mammals. Even some mammals like dolphins have very different sleep patterns (dolphins sleep one hemisphere at a time and can
still swim up to take a breath while sleeping).

We don't exactly know the last common ancestor of birds and mammals, but it is theorised it happened about 220 MYA.

It was so far back in the past, Earth only had one large landmass and the dinosaurs did not yet even appear.

Second, birds have tens of millions of years of evolution doing things like flying non stop for days. There would be a lot of selective pressure to evolve birds that are good at being able to do micro sleep without crashing down.
You've got the subset relationships backwards: Reals are a subset of the field of Surreal Numbers which is a subset of the group of Games. (Probably better phrased as embeddings, rather than subsets, but the point remains...)

Note that Games do _not_ form a field: there is no general multiplication operation between arbitrary games.
Yea, you should never run the device without a max bolus set. Even 30 to me seems high, but insulin update can be wildly random between people.
Yeah, we have a societal problem in this regard; statistical murder is tough to quantify and thus is largely unpunishable. Coal power, for example, likely kills thousands of people a year in the USA, but none of it directly enough to count as a crime. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/23/coal-pow...

This suggests that an alternative to gradual typing might be stratified typing: executable programs would consist of an untyped "control plane/soft layer" orchestrating a "data plane/hard layer" of typed components.
Polyether Ether Ketone (Peek)
One other thing to note here, with the Dexcom and Omnipod running together you really shouldn't be giving yourself boluses directly. Instead you type in the number of carbs you intake, and let the system make adjustments. In my experience taking direct insulin messes with the algorithm that tries to manage your sugar.

I suspect this is why this wasn't noticed immediately.

>You can make the data say almost anything.

A coworker had a saying:

"Data is like a prisoner of war. If you beat it around enough, you can make it tell you almost anything."
Oh for sure. It would be very easy to determine if the data is bad (in most cases) if someone tells you where to look. It is almost impossible to expect people to put their mental resources to trying to "crack" every paper that comes across their desk tho... so we have a bit of a problem, to say the least.

Rigorous peer review, let alone paid (which causes its own issues beyond money), is totally infeasible with the current publication pressure. It's hard to find reviewers even with the current lax criteria of both reviewers and quality of their review (the latter is more problematic).

The publication volume is just way way way too high. But researchers who don't publish multiple articles per year, regardless if you have anything of value to publish, perish. If you don't churn out paper-per-year in your PhD, you don't get the PhD.

Much of the manuscripts that get submitted to journals are incredibly bad. Most are just bad. But as both editor and reviewer, I usually let them be published out of pity if the stuff isn't blatantly wrong; the poor PhD student's whole career is on the line.

Journals being full of crap is not SO bad within science because everybody knows they are full of crap. But if an "outsider" thinks that being published in a peer-reviewed journal, even a "good" journal, means that the article isn't crap, it can be literally life-or-death (like in this case).

Academia is broken because it's being run as a business whose purpose is to churn out papers. Welcome to neoliberalism.
What's the best model for health right now?
I happen to believe in subsidised/affordable housing (I assume a UBI is what cybrox meant by not paying rent; also cracking down on housing-as-investments[1] sounds good to me, a layman, though apparently it wouldn't be enough[2] in our case, supply just needs to increase)—but I'm sure that other, less drastic societal changes would also be sufficient. For example, medium to large businesses could fund any open-source projects they make direct use of[3]. With the likes of OpenCollective[4][5] and GitHub Sponsors[6], the only roadblocks to adopting such a policy are corporate red tape and corporate greed. (And if it leads to smaller SBOMs, well, that's just a bonus as far as I'm concerned.)

All that said, I was actually referring to individuals (who aren't necessarily developers) choosing which software to use. Over the last 20 years, we've all taken free downloads and sign-ups for granted, ignorant to that whole "if you're not paying, you're the product" thing, and a lot of us now have a $500+ supercomputer in our pockets which is to some extent owned by a tech giant and not its nominal owner. It's apparent that such centralised platforms have some intrinsic problems with regards to users' freedom. That's what I'm cautioning against—not the idea of selling your programming labour to a business, which is fine.

Clearly I am not a lawyer, and my understanding of extradition faulty. I'll have to increase my bribe rate enough to get a lawyer involved. Wikipedia tells me that Namibia has no extradition treaty with the US...

I looked at [1], and I think it comes down to what "authorised" means. If you install one of my non-malicious FOSS packages, does that automatically authorise me on your systems? If not, then I'm clearly already in trouble for doing an "unauthorised act in relation to a computer".

Who authorised me? Who decides if I am unauthorised? How do I know it's unauthorized, as required by (b), when I don't even know you installed it?

My likely naive belief is that when you get a software package from me - one which disclaims even usability of purpose, and which disclaims all liability for damages, to the fullest extent allowed by law - then you are responsible for vetting the software and authorising its use on your system.

If the documentation says "doing X will wipe your home directory", and you do X, then you've authorised that action, yes?

> The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices. The idea behind hitting such targets, say three intelligence sources who were involved in planning or conducting strikes on power targets in the past, is that a deliberate attack on Palestinian society will exert “civil pressure” on Hamas.

[..]

> “We are asked to look for high-rise buildings with half a floor that can be attributed to Hamas,” said one source who took part in previous Israeli offensives in Gaza. “Sometimes it is a militant group’s spokesperson’s office, or a point where operatives meet. I understood that the floor is an excuse that allows the army to cause a lot of destruction in Gaza. That is what they told us.

> “If they would tell the whole world that the [Islamic Jihad] offices on the 10th floor are not important as a target, but that its existence is a justification to bring down the entire high-rise with the aim of pressuring civilian families who live in it in order to put pressure on terrorist organizations, this would itself be seen as terrorism. So they do not say it,” the source added.

That fairy tale about the most moral army in the world doing "surgical strikes" (when it's not called "mowing the lawn" I guess) contributes as much to peace, and has as much to do with reality, as some hypothetical Hamas fanatic saying "after Allah guided our hand to punish exactly those people who were evil or would have done something evil later in life". It is the other side of the exact same coin. Two groups of murderous, chauvinistic fanatics hiding behind the other.
I would say that people in pain are in a privileged place to understand other's suffering and sometimes able to do something about it. Even if they are unable to fix their own ghosts. Some of the O'Connor problems, like having an abusive mother, can't be directly attributed to her. Other are.

Their criteria is definitely “was this person/organization a bastard?” That said, the host does a lot of research and does attempt to provide as full a picture as possible about his subjects.

Ask for Advice, Not Permission
From the transcript of the source podcast on Jane Street's website:

> A good example is we’re a garbage collected language, our garbage collector inspects values at runtime. Therefore, uninitialized data can be really problematic. And so we have to do stupid things in my brain like, oh, it’s really important to null out the pointers in this array and not just leave them behind or they’ll leak, or you can’t just have an uninitialized array that I promise I’ll get too soon. Because what happens if you GC in that range? And I do actually think this is meaningfully costly in some scenarios, but I’m willing to put up with it.

I'm still a little unsure exactly what this means though.

The whole podcast is worth a listen, I had never heard about the feature on Intel CPUs which allows you to replay the last 2 milliseconds of instructions on the chip.
When floats first came out (or around that time) I wrote my computer repair site using them, all developed in FF. Then, as I was finishing, I opened it in IE and watched the entire design fall apart. Unfortunately the people I would be targeting with my website would almost certainly be using IE so I had to go back to the drawing board and rewrite it using tables. It was a sad day.

I understand why people might feel this way. Esp, if you think of the ISS as "a bunch of tired astronauts in a floating lab box"

But the ISS should be considered a manned instrument bus. Consider OCO-3, a gimballed observer on the exterior of the ISS. It has revolutionized our understanding of global carbon cycles, and local carbon sink/sources.

There are numerous such missions that benefit from a common, well supported platform to operate from.

The next one should be robotic though.

The paddle seems buggy.

It seems like the "right" side of a paddle always increases the speed, while the "left" side of the paddle always decreases the speed.

This behavior should be direction dependent: ie: the left-side of the paddle should push the ball to the left, while the right-side of the paddle should push the ball to the right. Classic breakout controls.

For the first 2 or 3 games, I thought you couldn't control the speed. I was wrong, its just that the speed-control in this game is very small (it requires about 6 or 7 bounces to go from minimum speed to max speed), while also having a very non-intuitive speed/direction control scheme for the paddle.
Therein lies the raison d'etre of Apple and Mac.

Same for me, but I don't think it's exactly about difficulty for me - I've done harder problems on Project Euler, SPOJ, etc., and very much enjoyed them, but somehow Advent of Code doesn't click for me. I think the difference is that there's a lot more "chore" work in AoC problems, compared to Euler or SPOJ where it's mainly about an "Aha" moment figuring out a solution (possibly getting it wrong, going back on it, and getting a different "Aha" moment exercising a different area of your knowledge space).

Or it is almost like the people they advertise to have a vested interest in RTO.

It is sort of like how you see all sorts of segments about "the hydrogen economy" on Fox News as if they live in some bizzaro world there are more than two hydrogen cars out there.

It's because the natural gas folks want hydrogen vs. electric and are paying to advertise it.
You don't advertise WIP software as "built with finesse"; and even if you do, you must at the very least put said finesse into the choice of screenshots you present.
I mean, it's not really dead. It has just flatlined in the short term, which makes sense. We are long past the point where most people are concerned about getting sick from COVID, so if your company hasn't called in workers yet, then it seems unlikely that they are going to in the near future.

The question is where things shake out in the long term. What percentage of young and growing companies will start remote and remain remote, start in person and then go remote, or start in person and remain in person (it's hard to imagine starting remote and then going in person, but I guess that's possible too)? The long-term outcome is still unclear, and it will take a long time for the dust to settle.

But it is still stupid and childish. I'm calling that out.

Because Duke is attempting to normalize toxic behavior. They think this is going to help. It won't.

This behavior might achieve "compliance" but it doesn't actually move the needle. It's why places like San Francisco appear to support underserved communities, but when push comes to shove they blockade housing initiatives.

This is almost certainly some liberal, white woman's way of looking like a good person without having to risk anything. After work it's back to the gated community!

Great article. I love everything related to the "old internet" (as you can see from my nostalgic point of view on some of my comments in Hacker News). Is there a good book about that particular time? I'd like to read a very good book about not just browsing the internet back then, but doing some kind of development (especially frontend, which I think it was the one that required most hacks and changed more than the backend in a few years)-
Yes, but it only devolved from Mac OS 9 by adding a bunch of unpolished NeXT GUIs, and the development necessitated the temporary removal of features and apps that were already polished.

Sure, for very heavy trucks. But the Cybertruck is not even close to being heavy enough to qualify.

I live in an area where the Cybertruck is heavy enough that the annual registration fees will be 2-3x higher than a regular car. But then again, if you are a "farmer" then all the truck stuff becomes cheaper. You know that all the largest cities in the US are located in states (New York, California, Illinois, Texas) with huge agricultural areas. And they all have lots of laws to protect and help farmers.
