Ah, I hadn’t heard he’d passed away. He was important to me growing up as a nerdy trombone player.

I remember attending one of his concerts, arriving a little late, and I stepped into the concert hall, walked a bit down the aisle to a seat, and less than a minute behind me the door opened again and another man - must have been PDQ, can’t quite remember now - tore down the aisle, leap on stage, and played the final chord of the piece, a comic touch characteristic of his work.
I managed to finally switch to using Vim after years of attempts, once I used Anki to help me memorize the common commands. I was less frustrated when using it day to day.
That one took 3 completely different iterations and bunch of tweaking to get right. For example, when you open in, it scrolls a bit to the first word. When it did not scroll, a friend of mine was looking at it helplessly, trying to scroll on the left side with no success. UX is so difficult.
As a rule of thumb, it'll pay about 30% more than the same position employed directly by the company. And I, uhm, have worked in the same physical office as someone who had that kind of job at that precise company. When we met, he had taken home those +30% for a little over a decade.

I guess with some luck you can work on these hardware drivers for Windows 3.11 at home without any access to the network or train. What you need are specifications and maybe some part of the system, maybe there is some simulation software for the internal system of the trains.

I mean the alternative is that you have to work in the train.

*Update:* Since the SIBAS 32 system is just a box someone can sent home to you, you can probably connect a computer with Windows 3.11 to it, and run some simulations on the SIBAS system.
So if the real problems people are having "do not have a single simple cause", why are we calling it "Long Covid"?

The name implies that there is a known cause, and the diagnosis IS Long Covid.
It's actually impossible to know for certain how much and what size of land you're destabilizing. Duration of expected destabilization is also varying I guess and at least 1 year.

Oklahoma, 2012 seismic sequence in Emilia (Italy), Sichuan Basin are already examples that triggered protests and call for investigations:

An example study for US that states the activity is exponantially linked to fracking sites: https://par.nsf.gov/servlets/purl/10233410

> "Exponential relationship between the total number of earthquakes and the number of wells in the Texas during the study period
1998–2018 with correlation R2=0.726."

In the tragic earthquakes of 2023 in Turkey, this relationship was again discussed in mainstream media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Turkey%E2%80%93Syria_eart...

It's not fracking itself but actually wastewater injection has a bigger influence in triggering bigger earthquakes according to what I've read. Moreover, it's also known that dams have a significant impact:

https://archive.internationalrivers.org/blogs/227/china-eart....

> "The devastating earthquake in Sichuan, which took at least 69,000 lives in May 2008, may have been unleashed by the huge Zipingpu Dam. New scientific evidence suggests that the filling of the Zipingpu reservoir may have activated a dormant fault line near the dam site."

Shallow faults are definitely activated. Probability of deep faults activated through full destabilization of a region? Unknown for now.
To specifically address concerns of the optimized builds LLVM backend will still be available as an optional dependency configured via Zig's build system. Until zig's own codegen is mature enough for optimized builds, LLVM can be used to generate final optimized binary. But there is a possibility that zig's own backend can implement features (e.g. coroutines for async/await) that are not compatible with LLVM. That will force LLVM out for good.

This is counter to how I would have guessed, which makes it quite interesting!

To those complaining that the results are non-determinative (e.g. “they didn’t disentangle genetics from social issues”) that’s how science works: do some studies, make or evaluate a hypothesis, then you or others iterate on different dimensions, possibly untangling some variables or even refuting the results of such a study. It’s OK to be where it is at this stage.

Of course it’s hard to incorporate that ambiguity into a regular article, especially when you are writing for the university’s publicity office, which is what “MIT News” is.

I wonder if Lewis is going through a rough patch professionally because of the recent tragedy he suffered — his daughter died in an automobile accident.

The goal for the game system is created to facilitate great stories. It's art, and no other piece of fantasy lore matches it in depth, breadth and consistency to my knowledge.

The amount of artists and writers who created it makes it art in my eyes. There's no other utility for it other than story telling either. If that's not art, what is it? The snobs at the Pulitzer who haven't even awarded a win to sci Fi novel may think otherwise but to each their own. In terms of the topic at hand, fantasy lore, there's few that can rival d&d.

Let's be real too. Baldurs gate and torment weren't made because of the great d&d gameplay system... The creators wanted to utilize the lore.

What, exactly, are you basing this assumption on?
Then again, groups of animals seem to be able to predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions hours ahead of time: https://www.icarus.mpg.de/11706/a-four-legged-early-warning-...

There are also reports of pretty interesting/odd electromagnetic phenomena reaching up to the ionosphere, which might be what animals are ultimately sensing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_light

A lot of these videos might be transformers blowing out or swinging power lines touching, but given the ubiquity of surveillance cameras and dashcams, we're fortunately getting more and more data. If there's something there that can be used for prediction better than seconds ahead of the earthquake, the value would obviously be immense.

It might of course be that animals are reacting to something else, like sulphuric gases being released from the ground, infrasound of early earthquake acitivty etc. – we just don't know enough about it yet, but the fact that there's correlation between animal behavior and seismic activity seems worth studying.
Also it says the term was coined in 2010, which is a weird thing to say in a 2005 article.

Yes, but nothing in your answer actually justifies why the locking mechanism needs to be so complicated. As the previous poster rightly pointed out, airplanes are also not slinging shit overboard at Mach 0.8, and they manage with a perfectly simple sliding mechanism. Or, staying with modern trains, the French TGVs also don't have such an over-engineered solution.. Although, agreed, they don't have on board nuclear reactors to prenuke their toilet waste..

I remember being a kid. I remember the other kids in school looking a diagram of how a moon orbits a planet that orbits a star and thinking it was a picture of a mouse. This was about age 6.

In my teens I wanted to learn about computer graphics, took me a while (years) to find out that would be matrices and what they do to vectors. Fortunately, from what my niece says, this seems to have become a thing people can actually learn now in the UK during secondary school.

The quantum wave functions necessary for it to even matter that a proton or neutron isn't literally just three quarks, involves maths I'm currently trying to teach myself on Brilliant.org having not at any point needed it despite having just turned 40.

Bluntly, the only time I ever bother with anything more complex than the Bohr model is when I toy with ideas such as "what would it take for a Casimir cavity's negative energy effect to result in mass reduction exceeding the natural mass of the material it is made from?"[0] — to which the answer at my level of comprehension is "not only is this not possible if you replaced every electron with a tauon, it still isn't going to work in a lasagna phase neutronium[1]".

[0] AKA "can you use Casimir cavities to make a warp drive? No, no you cannot" https://kitsunesoftware.wordpress.com/2017/04/20/can-a-casim... — though note also that I was using an extremely simplified version of the Casimir equation that I assume stops being a good approximation when the wavelengths being excluded imply energy sufficient for pair production events.

You seem really choosy about whom you apply your empathy.

If I had chosen more direct words, and written my criticism with less emotion, then you clearly wouldn't have any issue with it.

My comment has 81 points at the time of writing this one. Clearly the majority opinion here is that the substance of it was worthwhile.

God forbid humans express emotion on the internet. You are welcome to criticize my expression. To simply filter it out as bad internet speak is, at the very least, a bad strategy.
Interesting, because the creator of Supermemo wrote that Spaced Repetition doesn't work on children because their brain re-arranges and repurposes structures far too much, making children's forgetting curve far too unpredictable, or at least different from adults.

https://supermemo.guru/wiki/SuperMemo_does_not_work_for_kids

Spaced repetition flaschard software is all about scheduling the flashcards around predictions of your forgetting curve, and Anki and Supermemo are designed for the forgetting curves of adults.

Flash card may be good for memorizing lots of stuff in a short time, but I find using flash card is incredibly boring. If we manage to learn things in long term, and we always should, there's always a more fun, more effective, and more efficient way to remember than paced reminder with flash card. For instance,

- A new language: Comprehensive Input. Basically immersive studying with tons of reading, watching, and interaction. Given youtube and streaming services and low-cost online tutoring, immersive studying is so affordable now. Language is all about the right intuition in the right context, which flash card can't offer any way.

- STEM. This is an easy one. God forbid one should rely on flash card to memorize any STEM topic. STEM is all about intuition and understanding why and making connections. Solving problems, real or designed, is the most effective way.

- History and etc. Reading novels and biographies to learn a great deal of historical context, reading engaging books written by scholars to get accessible yet rigorous treatment of a specific topic. Anecdotally, I find alternative-history novels particularly engaging

I'm not sure why you decided that "use copilot" also implies missing out most of your later steps. Who decides to skip all those steps? Presumably you?

My experience is that Copilot is great at getting me started. Sometimes the code is good, sometimes it's mediocre or completely broken.

But it's invaluable at getting me thinking. I wasted a lot more time before I started using it. That might just be my weird brain wiring...

It's true, about the bankruptcy stuff at the end feeling a bit much. That's one of the many points where I felt he was being too sympathetic.

Yeah that's not a common list. Planescape torment is frequently listed as the best (in terms of writing only). No criticism here but your preferences are different enough that I would say your definitions of good and bad are outside the shared reality people usually talk about when they refer to what's the best crpgs.

In my experience, this was likely entirely driven by one person, my guess would be two levels above the author in the org chart. It's sometimes frighteningly easy to convince business leaders that the dev teams are wasting a ton of time, doing the wrong thing, etc. It's even easier when that direction is coming from a consultant (might not be in this case, but I've seen it happen a few times).

Someone who was supposed to be advocating for their team (maybe the author's boss) wasn't, or was being out-advocated by others, and that led to breakdowns. As a manager, I keep a lot of KPIs and do a lot of postmortems (lean), because you need to be able to counter the gut feeling of "development should be faster."

>dogs and birds react before an earthquake

Earthquakes have what are called primary (P) and secondary (S) waves. The primary is a sharp high frequency wave and the secondary waves are a lower frequency rumble that you feel as the earthquake. The P wave propagates faster so if you're distant from the epicenter the P waves might arrive fractions of a minutes earlier. That's what you see in videos of dogs jumping up and running off or birds taking flight "right before" the earthquake.
[Generic advice]

As a rule of thumb I don't customize critical software because:

1. Upgrades often break customizations. And modern software upgrades all the time.

2. What I think I want, is rarely what I actually wind up using.

3. I know I won't write comprehensive documentation to guide other users...including my future self. In three years/months/weeks/days/hours I will be wondering what the hell I did. Particularly because of 2.

What I believe, is the skill of adapting myself to playing the software as it lies is more frequently more valuable than the skill of trying to predict how I will use it and the skills of figuring out how to customize it and debugging my customizations.

For me, customizations tend not to be sticky. There are exceptions. I still find the same set of Autocad aliases useful 30 years later...but those are command line (e.g. 'c' for 'copy' & 'cc' for 'circle' instead of 'c' for 'circle' and 'cp' for 'copy' because I use copy much more than circle and because /c is a left hand character and /p is a right hand character and my right hand is on the trackball. Also someone pointed out the left hand right hand thing to me, I'm probably not smart enough to figure that out myself...but I digress. I still have to customize Autocad everytime I use it on a different machine (and over 30 years I have to take off my socks to enumerate them all).

The tldr is that the average case is that customizations come with a promise of more work in the future and that there is little control of when that more work will need to be done.

I should add that other people's customizations are usually worse than the standard behavior because of documentations.

And the default behaviors are the simplest thing that might work.

But YMMV.

Good luck.
Also, “they didn’t disentangle genetics from social issues” is a bit aside from the point: someone born into a lower SES family faces an additional challenge to achieving and maintaining success, be that learned or born. Childhood circumstances can have lifelong effects in the same way that genetics can.

Now, combine that with all of the other things we do know are SES (nutrition, access to resources like tutors, lifestyle & residential stability, etc, which seem quite difficult to ascribe to genetics)…

That's also ignoring how miserable the text reading experience is online. Go to a random news site. What fraction of the screen real-state will be content vs ads? Not just ads, but intrusive pop ups, pop unders, scrolls, videos, newsletter subscriptions, whatever dirty trick du jour to count as an ad impression.

The siren song of ad revenue is too strong to ignore, so any platform with content enters a death spiral where the content takes a back seat to ad delivery.

Nope, not saying that. but the other person in the comments has a point:

I’m sure that was part of the motivation, but it was taught to me as “readers often stop reading after one or two grafs, so put the most important information up front.”

It ends up working so that both pressures apply the same way: reverse pyramid organizes information so busy/distracted readers should get the most salient bits, and also lets editors cut the less important details for space. Whether this worked out, I think, was pretty dependent on the journalist and publication, but “most important” is usually a bit subjective so that’s to be expected.
This is really cool, would be nice to get detailed instructions how to build something like that.
You must be so proud.
That explains detection seconds before the main tremors, but there's some evidence that some animals change their behavior hours before the actual earthquake, before there are any measurable tremors, so there might be other mechanisms at play.
