Water is healthy, but drowning is not.

It is the same concept, your body can only process and use a limited amount of carbohydrates before it makes you obese and give you diabetes.

You can only drink a cup sized amount of water at a time. A building sized amount of water dumped on you would kill you.
It doesn't though.

Unless the North & South people arrive at the intersection at the exact same time they must still come to a complete stop. While say the South person is stopping an East person could have finished their stop and since the North car has passed by them they can enter the intersection.

Sure as the intersection backs up it becomes very likely that the North-bound person will be blocking an East person from entering the intersection such that the South person can enter. But just because a car is coming at you in an intersection doesn't mean you can legally enter it.

By convention though, literally every East bound person is going to expect the South bound person to travel at the same time as the North bound one. My point is strictly that the law doesn't require this and under some circumstances the South bound person may be breaking the law.
But surely this is just another way of doing validation and not fundamentally "parsing"? If at the end you've just stored the input exactly as you got it, the only parsing you're potentially doing is in the validation step and then it gets thrown away.
Then why is eating fruit healthy?
If a fruit mousse is the same thing in your country as it is in mine, it's just whipped fruit purée with egg whites and an arbitrary amount of sugar, because the sugar isn't serving a physical or chemical purpose the way it does in a sorbet. So if you make it at home you can make it with as little sugar as you want, and toddlers are still going to be extremely pleased.
I actually wonder how animals like sea turtles or fish know what to eat...They are not raised or taught by their parents, so is it just trial and error? What stops them from eating poisonous stuff ?
Staples recycled from sugar cane, inexpensive but no bleeding or feathering with any of my pens, and very little show-through except when I flex a bit and go slow, which I don't do in general use. The shading with sheaffer blue-black and pilot blue is pretty good too. My pens are all cheap steel nibs with ef or f japanese, or small italic/stub.
So make current column a readonly computed property of the actual state, which is what TFA calls the Intent. What TFA discovered is that anchoring your state closer to the user input is valuable, but that insight doesn't remove functions from your toolbox.
yeah virtual keyboard, you can either touch the keys directly or do an eye gaze finger tip close motion. it's fine for small things like URLs and Search terms, but once I start typing in a password or a sentence I become very unhappy.

Still worth the pain though, I am sure the typing will get better with time. For now productivity tasks are mostly reserved for when I am VM'd from it to my mac.
Why does it have to be learning? Because we're currently putting all our eggs in the basket of machine learning, so we must convince ourselves that everything that intelligent animals can do is some sort of learning from data?

There is no reason to assume any of that.
Let's hope we never do. Of course, there's very little hope but we all would be better off if this product didn't exist.

Let me quote Paris Marx's excellent summary from his Apple Vision Pro preview https://disconnect.blog/apples-vision-pro-headset-deserves/

> Tech companies want us isolated and constantly staring at screens because it drives profit

and of course

> The Vision Pro lets users further separate themselves from their surroundings and even create “digital personas” for video calls so other people are talking to a digital, abstracted version of themselves instead of seeing the real person.

Even The Verge acknowledges:

> using the Vision Pro is such a lonely experience, regardless of the weird ghost eyes on the front.

Of course it's Apple so it'll catch on and what in 1969 was predicted to happen in 4545 will happen, well, quite a few years earlier

Well it's a bit unfortunate this post was published in Feb 1st, it got really outdated really fast around the "choose flux for gitops" part.
I'm not a Haskell developer, so it's possible that I misunderstood the original "Parse, Don't Validate" post.

>If you are doing the validation inside of a constructor, you are still doing validation instead of parsing.

Why that would be considered validation rather than parsing?

From the original post:

>Consider: what is a parser? Really, a parser is just a function that consumes less-structured input and produces more-structured output.

That's the key idea to me.

A parser enforces checks on an input and produces an output. And if you define an output type that's distinct from the input type, you allow the type system "preserve" the fact that the data passed a parser at some point in its life.

But again, I don't know Haskell, so I'm interested to know if I'm misunderstanding Lexi Lambda's post.
It's not far off at all, some people sold AI-generated books on Amazon (they banned them in theory). Good and/or factual books however... Who knows.

> I _did_ work on the web a decade ago and my recollection is that it wasn't ever unclear that React's performance claims were that it was fast for a framework and not faster than equivalent manual DOM mutations.

That was a very common claim - if you search for old comments there was some very magical thinking about virtual DOMs at the time. I do agree it was worse in the fanboy circles - there’s a game of telephone where nuance is lost at every iteration so you’d sometimes have a blog post where someone said they saw a big win replacing a thicket of jQuery plugins and it’d eventually be repeated as “React is ZOMG FAST!!!!” with a few people trying in vain to suggest that replacing a bunch of organic code with something planned probably mattered more.

Anyway, my point isn’t that React is terrible but more that you really want to measure & review assumptions to make sure you’re not relying on something stale. It’s still easy to find assumptions from the IE6 era shaping what people think of as fast or slow, and especially with the massive front end framework trend it’s easy for people to have enough layers that their understanding of their application’s performance is far off. Choosing React is fine, just make the trade offs deliberately.
This term is typically used to refer to things like data structures and numerical values all being passed as strings. I don't think a reasonable person would consider storing a username in a string to be "stringly typed".
Really? You can’t set up more than one monitor in your field of view?

Or turn your head and track faster than you can jump back and forth between several overlapping windows?

That’s also bit like saying you don’t need a monitor bigger than your fovea, because you can only read in your fovea.

Eye movement, head movement, and internal tracking a good part of a sphere of awareness around ourselves are what our visual system - physical and mental - were designed to be extremely fast at.
Yes, all those people in concentration camps just had high metabolisms and we're not being starved by the Nazis.

And all the obese Americans eating pizza and fast food regularly just have hormone issues.
We're still logical and see bitcoin as a drain on society, morality, and damages the environment for zero utility outside of a tiny tiny tiny part of the population who speculate on it, most of who will also lose more than they gain eventually.
That wasnt a strawman, that was an example to help illustrate a point.

The timing of this post is great! Not only V Day is coming up but the primrose is one of the earliest blooming flowers, hence the name (Primus since it's among to earliest flowers to apple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primula_vulgaris).

Here's an interesting post about the of number of petals of the flower: the English (common) primrose has five, as mentioned by Donne but other members of the family have different numbers: https://www.sciencemusings.com/a-primrose-is-a-primrose-well...

Some interpretations of the complex symbolism and numerology of this poem is explained here: https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=LitRC&u=googlescholar&id=GALE%.... I personally found the poem to be a bit too much and would take his (cruder but more direct) "The Flea" over this one: (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46467/the-flea).

Speaking of numbers, here's a simple but lovely one by Jonathan Swift, written for his long friend/lover/wife? Esther Johnson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_Johnson):

On Stella's Birth-day

Stella this Day is thirty four,
(We won't dispute a Year or more)
However Stella, be not troubled,
Although thy Size and Years are doubled,
Since first I saw Thee at Sixteen
The brightest Virgin of the Green,
So little is thy Form declin'd
Made up so largely in thy Mind.
Oh, would it please the Gods to split
Thy Beauty, Size, and Years, and Wit,
No Age could furnish out a Pair
Of Nymphs so gracefull, Wise and fair
With half the Lustre of Your Eyes,
With half thy Wit, thy Years and Size:
And then before it grew too late,
How should I beg of gentle Fate,
(That either Nymph might have her Swain,)
To split my Worship too in twain.
Web Push Protocol was designed very much to preserve privacy as much as possible. Accepting a push has basically no consequences if you never click on anything. Yes they know it's you if you do click.

I would be flabbergasted & shamed if you could come up with a single example of this ridiculous forxed-adoption slippery slope happening anywhere on the web. This paranoia against the web is everywhere, and it's rotting people's fucking brains.
I rented someone's condo circa 2004 that did this with the air conditioning. Hot summer day? Just warm air coming out of the AC. (It was the kind where the cooling is done centrally and you just have an air handler in your unit.)

Now that I think about it, that happened in both apartments I lived in in Chicago. I remember going for a bike ride one summer afternoon with a friend. Got home, AC didn't do anything, so I went to the grocery store and bought a bag of ice, poured it in my bathtub, and rolled around in it until I was numb. I was cold the rest of the day. Very effective but do the math correctly when you install building-wide air conditioning systems.
yeah I am happy to have all of my phone time cannibalized by it, much easier on the eyes and arms, more fun too. Looking at photos and videos on it is far more enthralling than on my phone.

connecting it to my macbook and working on docs is just so much better than my current airbnb setup for productivity as well, the screen is crystal clear and I am on top of Haleakala, so easy to focus rapidly, and half a dozen other screens that I reference all a quick gaze away instead of a context switch away.

wish I liked movies more, the disney 3d stuff on it is really stunning, similarly the immersive apple tv stuff is pretty neat too.

wish there were more apps taking advantage of the 3d plane vs. just popping up another 2d plan in 3d space.

100% agree with the bugs, not entirely unexpected though so not too annoyed by them.
> I mean, what we have right now (multiply selectivities together as if they were independent) is also pretty dumb

Yeah, I think it was probably a mistake to always assume there's zero correlation between columns, but what value is better to use as a default? At least extended statistics allows the correlations of multiple columns to be gathered now. That probably means we'd be less likely to reconsider changing the default assumption of zero correlation when multiplying selectivities.
This is a wonderful find!

Something in the first chapter that hits home for me: how much better smoking is in retrospect than reality.

The memory of the perfect cigarette never goes away: on the porch on a sunny day, with a book and coffee/a cold beer; outside at the party, talking and trying to get laid; 2 am at your desk, one more smoke and this sentence will say what I mean.

Then as soon as you break and light one up, the romance vanishes completely.
I mean, just use supabase instead. So much easier than RDS. Why even deal with AWS directly? Might as well have a Colo if you need AWS.
I read through that piece and strongly disagree with the premise that their insight is somehow at odds with leaning into the type system for correctness.

The legitimate insight that they have is that anchoring the state as close as possible to the user input is valuable—I think that that is a great insight with a lot of good applications.

However, there's nothing that says you can't take that user-centric state and put it in a strongly typed data structure as soon as possible, with a set of clearly defined and well-typed transitions mapping the user-centric state to the derived states.

Edit: looks like there was discussion on this the other day, with a number of people making similar observations—https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39269886

There’s no need to be disrespectful. Just as I need to understand that you have a different rate than I did, vice versa.

You’re missing the actual point of my original post
It's because I hate databases and programming separately. I would rather slow code then have to dig into some database procdure. Its just another level of separation thats too mentally hard to manage. Its like... my queries go into a VM and now I have to worry about how the VM is performing.

I wish and maybe there is a programming language with first class database support. I mean really first class not just let me run queries but almost like embedded into the language in a primal way where I can both deal with my database programming fancyness and my general development together.

I just started playing with modal.com and so far it seems good. I haven't run anything in production yet, so YMMV.
They are averaging the efficiency from the current fleet of gas turbines after subtracting the useful heat output and coming up with 44.4%.

However, it’s a misleading number in multiple ways because the fleet is made up of a mix of low and high efficiency turbines. Grid operators use a mix of turbine types as a cost optimization, a far cheaper and far less efficient turbine that’s only used 1% of the time it worth it. The average number of kWh per cf of gas is therefore heavily in favor of high efficiency turbines.
As you said, the inks last for years. That's when I realized, I need to buy the best of the best quality possible with Inks. I'm going to guess I did not do enough research on Parker Inks as the ones I used wasn't good enough. I bought a Lamy, and I'm itching to either import a few or buy them the Japanese ones.

Ink filling is like a routine I love, especially with my daughter. She likes fountain pens and she inherited some of mine. I love to lay them out -- the bottles, the ink bloting paper, surgical syringe, napkins, and enough space to not spill -- kinda pretending to be like a Samurai taking care and maintaining his Katana. Even with the convertible, I like to treat it with a clean, precise, and smooth movements of pattens to refill it.

I started on the high-quality fountain pen with the Lamy 2000 too -- gifted by Adobe around the time when they bought Macromedia.
Given the Schengen area, I'm not sure those four countries make for a good example of anybody waiting at borders in either direction.

+1 for the Midori notebooks. I bought a nice leather cover and replaced the notebooks inside as they fill up.

Or at least I did before I switched to writing on my Kindle scribe. I do miss the analog experience sometimes though.
You’re totally right in the abstract, those statements in your comment about concepts and tools are true if not tautological. What’s missing is that this paper provides no useful information about music or composers, and not does not prove anything nor demonstrate anything not already known and/or proven. It’s not a viable path to discriminating the quality of musical compositions, and I think we can prove that (I already suggested known counter-examples).

You don't need performance until you do. Writing slow rust in my experience is just as easy as writing python. If not easier because the libraries are better designed.

Unfortunately knowing humanity and it's gatekeeping mechanisms he'd be near-unemployable. 'Oh you don't have XYZ framework experience? GTFO'

Also it's frustrating working in such conditions where you have to dig through framework code to get to where it matters. It feels like your time is wasted.

A Review of the Economics of Social Media
This paper is almost a parody of philosophical writing. It's pages and pages of telling you what it's not going to tell you, contrasting it with other things it could tell but chooses not to, mentioning other things others have told you (which will not be repeated here), disagreeing with the claims of other writers (without quite explaining the refutations), telling you what it intends to tell you, telling you in what form it will tell you what it intends to tell you, and then reminding that it told you.

I admit I was skimming a bit by the end, but I seemed to have overlooked the part where it actually said anything.
I'm also a fan of vertical panels in snowy regions, but at the same time it kinda dodges the question.

In a non-snow region (which is most of the country, a fraction which is only increasing decade by decade), what is the optimal tilt angle? 70°? 80°? More? This is quite important for large solar panel farms in the hot and sunny South/Southwest.

The cosine loss is easy to model, so to answer the question what we need is a curve that describes how the convection cooling effect varies with angle.
Given you've seen the same effect in both Ruby and JS maybe the takeaway should instead be that there is a group of devs who will always reach for a package first, not that a specific language has a problem.
Scripts and unix pipe style work flows like this are going to be the easiest to automate. Even 5-6 years ago if you knew where to look for some cutting edge stuff, this was what they were experimenting with in automated code gen space and it was pretty good back then. The difference is you didn't do natural language prompts, you had to be able to ask for things in a very specific way.

It doesn't make up the bulk of development (though LLMs are eating low hanging fruit there too but its going to take a little longer) its a canary in the coalmine for how much this tech will cause some kind of disruption to people's jobs.

Whether it means that ultimately, it'll be like the adoption of the computer itself (an explosion of jobs relative to those who lost them due to the wide scale of computers) or not remains to be seen. It might open up higher forms of work and focusing on more thorny problems.

It also might kill huge swaths of the sector

Unless you live in one of the few big cities in NH, you'll likely already have an Artesian (drilled) well. Swap out the pump for a variable speed pump and you should be good to go for a GSHP -- a much better option for NH vs an Air Source Heat Pump. Otherwise, it'll cost $15-20K for a well to be drilled. You get about 1-ton of heating/cooling per 100' of drilled well.

It's not just Arc<T> vs. Rc<T> that's relevant for thread safety, though. Pretty much any kind of shared mutability requires extra protection (locks or atomicity) to work safely across threads, so there has to be some way to indicate whether or not that extra protection is present. Not to mention objects that interact with FFI, such as mutex locks, which must be unlocked from the same thread. It would be a huge performance drain to demand that "every value everywhere must be usable from every thread".
