Just a general recommendation from someone who keeps a long history: if your shell loads a histfile, don't let it grow unbounded.

It isn't massive, but there's real shell startup latency associated with loading lines from your histfile. A few hundred isn't really noteworth, but tens and eventually hundreds of thousands of lines can add up.

(In my case, i store them in a database and I synthesize histfiles from the db. Keeping the permanent storage in a separate file also probably works.)
We will use more helicopters instead of rovers for new missions ?
Or larger crafts would be much harder or riskier to use ?

Or maybe have a helicopter that can move the rover with the equipment to different locations.
Anything travel related probably, as a good number of people will have traveled to the conference, and will likely travel to other conferences and will take the banded thing with them. Where it's probably even seen by the correct audience.

The design the buster beagle uses is an aluminum box you drop your molds into after printing them. Though this idea is interesting, I think, for people who are injecting with variable size molds that a single casing would not suffice for.

A desktop CNC at that scale to make simple stuff like casing boxes is probably going to be more affordable and less hassle/mess than your suggested setup pretty quick though.

Desktop is definitely not going to be good enough to make aluminum molds themselves though. I think you need a 5 axis CNC for that. Surprisingly my makerspace actually has one of those and I considered learning how to use it but decided against it.

In practice however on these molding setups I’ve found you are already kind of constrained on your mold sizes a lot simply by virtue of your machine’s volume capacity. The one I have goes up to 3 cubic inches, but in practice you can’t use all of that capacity and you get weird/bad results for too small of capacity too so the actual ranges of shot volume I can produce in a mold are actually constrained to something like 1-2.5 cubic inches
Hi,

thanks for your comment. Your story touched me immediately in my heart.

I do some biology-adjacent programming work. I think protein and cell simulations would be a fun area to learn about. I am familiar with projects like OpenWorm. You seem pretty knowledgeable about the field. How does one get into computational biology? What prerequisite knowledge would I need to be able to write simulations like in this article?
How kind of you to say. I held off on learning programming for so long due to my visceral disgust with C/UNIX and ALGOL syntax. I just knew it was the wrong set of abstractions that have trapped us all in a grey hellscape of mediocrity and wasted potential. When I was a kid I turned turtles into a spirograph in Logo on an Apple II. It ruined me. I didn't know Logo was functional or Lisp-inspired.

When I found functional programming in Erlang I got SO excited. When I found Common Lisp, decades of pent-up frustration melted away and I knew I'd come home. I guess my Unix Hating led to some intuitive thinking over the years and I've been making up for lost time over the past couple of years and mapping what I knew I wanted to what has been there in CL all along.

I think this is because a lot of people don't have basic food preparation skills. Basic stuff takes them hours, they are poorly equipped and would generally go out for food even though they'd rather stay at home.
Meal delivery solves that equation for them : Now they can eat their overpriced low grade food from the comfort of their home and for some people, it seems that it is something worth paying for.

This is how my roommate says he does not have money for the shared internet bill but often wastes from 10 to 15 euros for poor quality food :D

There are also maybe structural reasons ?
I am thinking it may be aggravated if you live in a American city and you need to take your car out to the business/fast food zone in order to get prepared food. I guess from that point of view, you're thinking that at least you are saving on gas/parking ?

I think the general idea here is that there's a lot of thermal energy that does not get used in a cost-effective way. IIRC the majority of 'efficiency' wrt energy hitting a panel comes out as heat, and here it's a question of if that heat can cost effectively be stored/used.

Pretty much anything can be a viable first language. My first language was 1980s BASIC, starting with very limited version (ZX80 and then Grundy Newbrain). I do not think that was a good first language though. It did not teach good habits, and it lacked a lot of concepts I had to start learning later.
Wait, so you are saying that over the course of 85 years, we've had enough volcanic eruptions to disrupt the counting of the equivalent of tree rings in fish bones, in a lake in Arizona? When we KNOW when the fish were first put there?

Has Arizona had that many volcanic eruptions in the 20th century which we somehow forgot to notice, but were still strong enough to disrupt the fish?

https://tucson.com/news/local/environment/old-fish-in-arizon...

Just over a century ago, several hundred game fish raised in ponds in Iowa were hauled across the country by rail to be released into Arizona’s newly dammed Salt River.

A recent study suggests some of those transplanted buffalofish are still alive today in the waters of Apache Lake.

Not their descendants. Not members of the same species. The same individual fish that were sent west in 1918, as World War I was winding down in Europe during Woodrow Wilson’s second term as president.

Honest question about two-pane file managers: I understand that dual-pane is useful when you need to see the contents of two folders for copying and syncing multiple files. But for me, that seems like a minority part of my usage. More commonly, I have multiple tabs for different projects, and within those tabs, navigation is mostly up and down the folder hierarchy within each project. Opening the source and destination folders in the panes every time I want to copy seems like more work than just copy, navigate, and paste.

Can anyone enlighten me about this? Is it just my poor organizational skills?

That reminds me a bit of what's going in at Lake Nyos, Cameroon.

Basically, there are two "layers" of water in the lake, and due to the lakebed giving off carbon dioxide the lower layer will become increasingly saturated. When the two layers get mixed due to something like a minor earthquake, huge quantities of carbon dioxide get released - resulting in a massive disaster.

The solution here was to essentially just stick a pipe all the way down, so water could flow up and safely release the gas.The interesting part is that this is a self-sustaining process after an initial pumped startup.

Something similar might be possible in other lakes, perhaps driven by a temperature difference rather than gas saturation. I doubt it'd generate enough energy to make it economically viable, though.

It's not about being human, it's about being in large groups where horizontal, consensus-driven decision making becomes infeasible.

On the contrary, it can provide a defence.

My first program was in BASIC. I was 6, and had other things to do before I got back on that journey, but the next one was in PHP.

By conventional wisdom and common proverbs, my mind should've been mutilated beyond any hope of recovery. (And maybe it is, who knows.) But this conventional wisdom tends to ignore the barrier to entry.

The C64 not only booted straight into BASIC, it also came with a book, and that first program that I copied from the book was not some silly "hello world" or a fizzbuzz, it was a piano. It demonstrated to me, that a computer is a means of expressing yourself creatively, and it did so in a form that was digestible to a 6yro.

The best first language is the one that comes pre-installed on your computer, with enough example code to get you hooked. (Which is why the iPad / Swift Playgrounds fills me with both hope and dread. But, considering where I came from, mostly hope.)

> paste

instead of having to type everything out.

It feels to me like the possibilities of the CLI and how we interact with it have barely been explored.

That is an obvious thing, and totally besides the point. Also, probably GC only helps little against this. Sure, actually calling the destructor can be delayed in order to even out latency. You can do the same with RAII.

Sometimes you can't do that though because you have certain constraints on the execution order of whatever routines you need to run. This is completely independent of whether you use manual cleanup or GC or RAII, however with GC it is weird/hard/impossible to synchronize the GC with the non-cleanup code.

No, it’s an explicit instruction. It’s treated as a suggestion, at best. It’s not “It’d be real nice if you didn’t track”, it’s “Do not track.”

Ref counting is a GC-algorithm, and the slowest at that (especially with multi-core sync, but that’s not the case with python), as a tradeoff for less memory consumption.
This is a variation on Google's argument that "our network is so resilient we don't need to worry about Partitions so we can offer C and A and P" but is a weak one, more and more on the face of real present experiences.

I agree. The Gildan Heavyweight T-shirts are the kind you pick up at craft stores for $3-$4 a pop. But they tend to be stiff and too warm for my liking.

There are a variety of mid-level T-shirt brands (such as BELLA+CANVAS) that feel so much softer against the skin, no irritating seams, stand up to repeated washings, and are lighter-weight, meaning you can wear them as-is in the summer months, or under something else in the winter months, and it feels comfortable either way.

The link you provide to back up "people have sued reviewers for including too much of the original tet in the review" doesn't say that at all, though. The Nation lost that case because (quoting from that Cornell article you linked),

> [Nation editor Victor Navasky] hastily put together what he believed was "a real hot news story" composed of quotes, paraphrases, and facts drawn exclusively from the manuscript. Mr. Navasky attempted no independent commentary, research or criticism, in part because of the need for speed if he was to "make news" by "publish[ing] in advance of publication of the Ford book." [...] The Nation effectively arrogated to itself the right of first publication, an important marketable subsidiary right.

The Nation lost this case in large part because it was not a review, but instead an attempt to beat Time Magazine's article that was supposed to be an exclusive first serial right. If it had, in fact, just been a review, there wouldn't have been a case here, because it wouldn't have been stealing.

Anyway, I don't think you're going to be convinced you're interpreting this wrongly, and I don't think I'm going to be convinced I'm interpreting it wrongly. But I am going to say, with absolute confidence, that you're simply not going to find many cases of reviewers being sued for reviews -- which Harper & Row vs. Nation is, again, not actually an example of -- and you're going to find even fewer cases of that being successful. Why am I so confident about that? Well, I am not a lawyer, but I am a published author, and I am going to let you in a little secret here: both publishers and authors do, in fact, want their work to be reviewed, and suing reviewers for literally doing what we want is counterproductive. :)
I disagree. It may seem good on paper, but it gives you too much of a false sense of security. Security measures like this often seem to work, but they are papering over a deeper problem. Usually this is being done because user input is not being handled carefully, and if so, the assumption that blocking some keywords "defangs" potential exploits is usually easy to prove false. Consider the case of eBay and JSFuck[1].

I dislike the mentality that leads to this; WAFs, lazy pentesting and compliance checkboxes have created a substantial body of absolute bullshit security theater and I have absolutely zero doubt that this has convinced companies it's "safe" to put insanely poorly written software partially out on the open internet and that they've "done their due diligence" so to speak. And then I get a letter in the mail apologizing that my most confidential information has yet again been leaked by some company I barely or didn't have any real choice to give my data to. I'm sure they all care deeply about my data and that's why it was stolen using decades-old Java serialization library vulnerabilities.

I wonder if the system on a chip design of Apple Silicon would work for servers. Would it just be a special packaging that crammed several Mac mini boards into a rack mounted chassis? If so, then they would just be repeating what others are already doing.

The RAM being part of the chip seems like a limiter to scaling up to a server model with a lot of cores and RAM in a single blade.

Not saying this is not all doable just that it probably requires design and investment they otherwise do not have any desire to do.
