Completely agree. Also, we have significantly lower usage on Friday into the weekend. Would rather catch a bug and quickly rollback Friday with fewer users impacted, rather than arbitrarily force devs to wait until Monday to queue up their releases during our peak usage.

As someone who used to have hundreds if not thousands of Tabs, Firefox is the only browser that is stable enough and has the best Tab Session restore. So my guess is that something went wrong if you have to constantly restart Firefox.

Firefox has a sessionrestore.js and also a sessionrestore.bak. ( And also sesstionrestore.bak2 if I remember correctly )[1] It is the only browser that took session restore seriously because around ~16 years ago an idiot constantly went on Mozillazine and Bugzilla to file crash report of lost sessions that could have thousands of tabs.

If your sesstionrestore crashed or get wiped, i.e you restart your browser and those tabs were not there, you could also copy and past the .bak files and rename it as .js. It wont be everything you had since the bak file may have been a few hours old. But at least you got something back.

As to crashing. In the old days it was some tabs in the background doing JS with memory leakage. But if I remember correctly Firefox now pause Tabs that is unused for long period of time. If it isn't background Tabs that is causing problem. I would suggest similar to what I wrote to Animats, make a new Firefox profile and migrate all your History, Cookies etc to the new profile and see if it improve things. This used to be a manual process but I believe recent Firefox has made this easier with Firefox Retune or Refresh ( Sorry all of this are on top of my head you will have to do some Google search for the actual name)

If I were to rate Browser stability, it would be Firefox > Chrome > Safari. On both MacOS and Windows. The same ranking for session restore function where I have lost multiple sessions on Safari over the years. And in case anyone wondering why Safari is not stable and that may not be their experience, it is that something on MacOS ( the OS itself ) sometimes triggers Safari to reload all the Tabs even if they were originally sitting idle. This create huge I/O spike and generally leads to crashing or halt for a long period of time. Other than that it is pretty much on par with others.

What I'm trying to describe here is a solution that Israel implements whether the Palestinians want it or not. Israel has control and it can chart a path towards one state where Jews are not repressed or killed. It is effectively already doing that anyways but without thinking things through. I'm also describing something that should happen over a period of perhaps 50 years.

I think if Israel stated that is the goal, to make Palestinians equal citizens in the larger single country, and had a plan as to how that goal could be accomplished, that would be more constructive than the current stall until things blow up plan. I'd like to think many/some Palestinians would buy in and the rest would get no choice anyways.

This plan naturally involves dismantling the PA and taking complete civilian control over the entire territory including formally annexing it to Israel. It should also include some clear continuous benefits to Palestinians from where they stand today (which is pretty bad, so shouldn't be a problem).

A variation of this plan could be some sort of federation, where the country is "Israel" and there are two states under that country. Not unlike Canada or the US. That could also address the population ratios vs. democracy (just like democracy in the US or Canada isn't a proportional system). So we can have a parliament some fixed representation for different parts. I think Lebanon also has something along those lines. I'm sure over time we'll see coalitions that cross those "state" boundaries.

As long as there's a constitution, and there are the right mechanisms, checks and balances, to maintain that, and enough time to get beyond the current tribal let's kill everyone mindsets, it can work.
Like a lot of calendars, this has a big focus on months yet the only monthly schedules I have are passive and operate in the background: salary in, bills out.

When it comes to organising my life the cycle of week to week planning is by far the most important one. Where we are in that cycle at any given moment in time — what day of the week it is — is much more important than knowing the current month. Shopping for food, planning vacations, the school year, meetings, socialising — all happen per week or over the course of weeks, and never per month or over the course of months.

The challenge then is to produce a calendar where the months are as incidental as the phase of the moon or the numeric value of current day, and where the focus is on the shape of the week and the space, in weeks, between events and date ranges. (Ironically, weeks and lunar cycles are closely related, so it might actually be cool/fun/unique to focus on lunar cycles while pivoting to a week-on-week format.)

What is the best calendar shape that handles this?

(The site that you’ve built around the calendar is superbly executed btw.)

> But in practice, most games of this style are pretty small, and thus don't really have any real performance requirements, so ecs'ing everything is overengineering compared to oop-style, coupled architecture, no?

I would call out that "performance requirements" those days aren't just "it runs smooth enough for me". It's also about "it doesn't waste all my game device battery". I appreciate when you can run games for 7 hours instead of 2 hours on a mobile device.

More that pure CPU/GPU use, the main battery life villain for your average software is horrible memory access patterns.

Doing logic or math (even including FP math) is basically energy free compared to fetching data from DRAM or SRAM.

Note that GDScript (the primary scripting language for Godot) also uses reference counting for its memory management, so it doesn't have the GC pause issues.

This isn't just a language-specific feature and is actually one of the core design decisions made in the C++ engine. Almost every object in Godot inherits the RefCounted base class - as a consequence even in C# scripting mode Godot-specific objects generally have reference counting semantics (and therefore also provides the WeakRef type to deal with reference cycles yourself.)

Interestingly, in 2022 the FCC changed the range of acceptable EKG requirements for heart health required for pilots; previously the PR had to be between 0.12 to 0.2, and they widened it to 0.12 to 0.3. That would have allowed pilots with mild cardio injury (who are more likely to suddenly pass out) to fly.
> No, “replication failures” are not a mainstream concern. And they certainly weren’t some lurking concern within right wing circles for years before COVID.

They talk about this all the time — and have for years before COVID. That’s part of the anti-university rhetoric.

> As far as the opioid crisis, it’s also ahistorical to suggest this was some longtime mainstream concern among a neglected section of society

This has been discussed for at least a decade, in how its feeding a cycle of destruction and poverty in rural America; and increasingly stridently as it became the #1 cause of death for those under forty (eg, Millennials and Zoomers).

You’re also minimizing that 36% of “right wing” people blame drug companies and 76% blame illegal drug dealers (eg, cartels).

> And given that this sort of sleight of hand is so common among a certain sect of society,

Eg, you calling 55% an “overwhelming majority” but denying that 36% represents a mainstream concern?

> Having actually grown up in one of these deep red parts of the country, the idea that right wingers were always blaming pharma companies is hilarious.

IMO, Rome saw an advantage in adhering to a -version- of the religion ... and in overcoming what it termed the 'pagan empire' (Greek in part). At Nicaea in 325, the religion was overhauled.

Stamping out the Eleusinian mysteries was part of that process. In the 380s, Theodosius helped that along by beginning the destruction of sites and the persecutions (tactics far from Christ-like), as did Theophilus, then Cyril. All designed to consolidate the takeover.

We live in a post truth era and not sure what can be done about that. You'd think that with the Internet and access to information people can do research but research is hard.

If you look into IPC primitives in each OS you can find goodies that do expose structured metadata about what interfaces are available and how they can be called. D-Bus, sd-bus, COM, Binder, to name a few.

It’s just that the tooling around it isn’t as easily exposed and they aren’t tailored for on-demand launch via command line. If the shell treated such as a more first class citizen, good results may come out.

Another big problem is portability, if you designed your app with sdbus, it’s not going to work on a non systemd distro, even less on Windows. What’s needed is a standardized abstraction layer on top.
As someone who is heavily dependent on zfs, this is a little bit of reassurance. Sad that data corruption exists in any file system that is shipped too many people, but reassuring that it happens to the most stable and least "interesting" in the newness sense file systems.

My internal alarm bells started going off as soon as I read about datum AA and datum M.

I followed road traffic safety since 2020 closely (and have submitted and posted about it here) and traffic fatalities is slowly coming down since 2020. My hypothesis about it was that the empty roads in 2020 caused drivers to degenerate in terms of road manners. For example, deaths per mile actually increased in 2020 despite people driving fewer miles which suggests people drove less safely.

On the other hand this article says there was a 65% increase in significant incidents from the year prior to Sept. 30. So I think these are two different issues.

Those are the new Inside Macintosh series, published starting in 1992. SpInside Macintosh, the HyperCard stack from which the web page linked in this item was created, was produced from the first five volumes of the original Inside Macintosh series, published from 1985 to 1991.

As the Preface to Inside Macintosh: Overview (1992) explains:

The original Inside Macintosh library of books appeared in six volumes from
1985 to 1991. Those volumes each focused on a particular version of the
system software, sometimes prompted by the release of new hardware
configurations. Often, the later volumes of the original Inside Macintosh
described only new system software components or changes to existing
system software components.

The new Inside Macintosh books are intended to replace the original Inside
Macintosh books and to provide a more complete and more useful reference to
the Macintosh system software. The most obvious improvement in the new
books is that they are organized principally by topic. For example, the book
Inside Macintosh: Files contains virtually all the available information related to
files, including complete descriptions of the File Manager, the Standard File
Package, the Alias Manager, and the Disk Initialization Manager. Similarly,
the book Inside Macintosh: Text contains all information about handling text.
This topic-oriented organization of books makes it easier for you to find the
information you need. It also makes it easier for Apple to add books to the
Inside Macintosh suite as new technologies emerge in the years ahead.

> and even people without a car pay for goods and services which are transported over roads.

Only partially. About 750000 personal light vehicles below 3500kg pay RUC charges - a lot of that is deisel personal vehicles - 4WDs etcetera. Looks like they pay about 40% of total RUC revenue. The RUC revenue for heavy vehicles is supposed to be assigned to road costs caused by heavy vehicles. RUC = road user charges. The fact they are paying for cyclists is really against the stated purpose of the RUC.

Note that the new National government intends to introduce RUC for electric vehicles since those use roads but are not paying their fair share of costs.

For 2020/21 common costs are forecast to be $4.49 billion, less fixed revenue of $1.55 billion made up of ratepayer funding, motor vehicle registration and licensing fees and other Crown revenue, which leaves almost $3 billion of common costs to be recovered from RUC and PED.

That implies council rates pay about 1/3 of costs which is a similar ratio to your earlier calcs. Hard to calculate better because a lot of the common costs are towards national infrastructure rather than local.
I've always struggled to figure out how to find and order replacements for all the internal electric connectors when repairing or adapting something: hopefully this helps next time I run into this!

The syntax of your language is quite nice. I’d maybe change (for …) to (each …), (fun …) to (fn …), and (let …) to (def …) or (set …) depending on implementation details of variable assignment, but those are just aesthetic preferences :)
