I liked the article and I hope that I can understand it more with some study.

I think the following sentence in the article is wrong
"Applying Noether's theorem gives us three conserved quantities—one for each degree of freedom in our group of transformations—which turn out to be horizontal, vertical, and angular momentum.”

I think the correct statement is
"Applying Noether's theorem gives us three conserved quantities—one for each degree of freedom in our group of transformations—which turn out to be translation, rotation, and time shifting.”

I think translation leads to conservation of momentum, rotation leads to conservation of angular momentum, and time shifting leads to conservation of energy (potential+kinetic). It's been a few decades since I saw the proof, so I might be wrong.
Turns out that this already happens: https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/12480/tetrasomy-2...

The bad news is that the prognosis is even worse than for the trisomy.
The point of a 4-day work week isn't to cram the 5th day into 4 days, it's completely removing the 5th day, thus working 8 hours every day for 4 days, as opposed to 10 hours for 5 days.
The article does not say why. I often wonder if this is an income rage where:

- personal finance is complicated enough for an "average" person doing their own accounting that they don's do it or do it poorly.

- income is not quite enough for a full time accountant.

The entire reason that I need to print things is because I have use cases where there are no acceptable electronic alternatives.
I get the same concern when I see plastics designed to be brushed against things like this. It’s a legitimate problem. I wonder if there are brushes made from materials which decompose, but are also at least as durable and/or affordable as plastic?
There's also no reason to believe that incremental progress in transformer models will eventually lead to "AGI".
This is an exciting update! Leveraging AWS libcrypto is a smart move that will allow Rustls to access robust and validated cryptography while focusing development efforts elsewhere. Achieving FIPS 140-2 validation expands possibilities for regulated industries to securely adopt Rustls. Kudos to the team on enabling more widespread usage of this critical communication security technology!

xslt is a native template system that has includes: <xsl:copy-of select="document('/header.html')"/>

xhtml/xslt still works today (though browsers are stuck on v1). It's a declarative template system with a pretty powerful pattern matching system (xpath). You can also extract fragments from external documents or store them into variables. e.g. <xsl:copy-of select="document('/content.html')/body/div[2]/ul/li/a/@href"/> will copy all urls from a list inside the 2nd div. Or instead of second div in the body, you could search for a div with an id or specific attributes or specific children or whatever pattern you want.

Why webdevs forsook xml will always be a mystery to me. Particularly given that they now use things like JSX.

This hints that there is market space for managed forests with slower-growth trees that would yield wood better suited for high-end woodworking. Assuming a 3-to-1 ring density from current fast-growth to this slower variety, one could expect prices similarly higher accounting for the longer growth plus financial cost of the land.
Good point, I just totally forgot. :)

There is another fallacy that I believe Netscape fell into at the time.

Rewrites often have the goal of "this time we are making everything perfect".

Which leads to tons of unnecessary abstractions and endless design proposals.

For Netscape 6 it was the idea of introducing XPCOM. "Classes are stupid everything is an interface".

Which later led to the "DeCOMtamination" project.

> Dismissing entire categories of systems and approaches under a multitude of different situations and circumstances speaks more to how effective you personally have been propagandized.

> those are the problems with authoritarianism not the unit of economic organization

Communism requires authoritarianism. It's inherent to operating system. When you take resources from some and distribute to others, who, exactly, does the taking and giving?

Monoculture micro-communities like kibbutz don't show anything. Nation-states are diverse groups of hundreds of millions with competing beliefs, values, and goals. Communism cannot serve these diverse interests. It requires a group of authoritarians that choose from whom to take and whom to give and the abject suffering of many is the result, every time. There is no freedom or liberty, that's by design. It's a failure with disastrous consequences.

This is why cron tasks, always, should have some blocking (like flock) and/or timeout (like timeout from coreutils) and some kind of notification, better if it's something external to the server, like healthchecks.io
What about flammability?

If "new" wood is somewhat less flammable because sap or something like that, replacing old forests with new ones, moving the operations of wood harvesting from forest to forest in a sustainable way may get a bigger time window for freshness and lower a bit the risks of the captured carbon by trees/forests burning down (something that is getting more probable as the world warms up, a positive feedback loop), while getting better quality wood in the process.

Of course, a lot of uses of wood is burning it down for home heating, that won't be in the equation, but is something that may be phased down. And not sure how this goes for other uses of wood like making paper.
It's interesting to point out that the wood has tighter rings and is more durable not necessarily because it came from old trees, but because the old growth trees grew in mature forests where they were in the shade of other trees, and thus grew more slowly and had tighter rings.

Trees growing in full sunlight grow quickly and have more widely spaced rings. Balsa wood for example, which is very light and soft, comes from balsa trees that have evolved to grow very quickly in sunny gaps caused by fallen trees in tropical forests.

Top ARIA Implementation Errors
In the heart of software world, finding the right set of tools is essential like a cup of coffee on a Monday morning. As participants of the open source community, we too are on a constant journey to look for some of the best and brightest tools, ensuring our project rolls forward while remain transparent, organized, and well-communicated.

We are a small team with 7 people running the open source project KusionStack, but we try to juggle with an arsenal of community tools to help make it possible. They range from Git, which keeps our code as organized as a cat herder’s dream, to Slack and WeChat, the digital equivalent of a water cooler for real-time banter and brainstorming.

US to investigate national security threat from Chinese cars
Viasat links up with Northrop Grumman for Air Force communications experiment
Hello! Daft developer here. The benchmarks we performed aren’t directly comparable to the benchmarks on TPC-H’s own page because of differences in hardware, storage etc.

For hardware, we were using AWS i3.2xlarge machines in a distributed cluster. And on the storage side we are reading Parquet files over the network from AWS S3. This is most representative of how users run query engines like Daft.

The TPC-H benchmarks are usually performed on databases which have pre-ingested the data into a single-node server-grade machine that’s running the database.

Note that Daft isn’t really a “database”, because we don’t have proprietary storage. Part of the appeal of using query engines like Daft and Spark is to able to read data “at rest” (as Parquet, CSV, JSON etc). However this will definitely be slower than a database which has pre-ingested the data into indexed storage and proprietary formats!

Hope that helps explain the discrepancies!
To be honest, I still do not fully understand what the claim is. Amazon has 3 segments: US, Europe and AWS. Its 10-Qs/10-Ks disclose all of the information that is required by US GAAP w.r.t what information should be available for a segment.

Is the claim that simply stating "The entirety of what happens on the Amazon website in the US is one segment" is wrong? What subsegments would you want to see?
There's a wonderful podcast, Shannon's Lumber Industry update that discusses this topic in detail, I can't track down exactly which episode. The point he makes is, yes, sure they are "better" lumber, but lumber can also be a sustainable resource. We've done a MUCH better job producing construction lumber (what those two-by material is used for in the vast majority of cases) in a sustainable manner. That old framing lumber came from just demolishing old growth trees. You can still find comparable lumber, this is what fine furniture makers do.

Generally agree, except for the sound part. TV speakers are awful. No matter the TV you should always have an external system.
There’s a YouTube video from the 50s or so showing them cutting down old growth redwoods. I tried watching it but couldn’t make it. Made me too emotional.
Would you consider an applicant not based in NA?
It’s niche I’ll admit, but a while back the lack of support for DisplayPort in home theater equipment bit me because I had an Oculus Rift (original) hooked up to the same machine, using the only HDMI output on the computer’s GPU which meant hooking it up to the TV (through a receiver) required a DisplayPort → HDMI adapter.

Thing is, DP → HDMI adapters all suck when you’re using them to send anything but a basic 1080p picture. They nearly all fail or struggle with uncompressed 4K. I tried several different cables and adapters and despite marketing claims, they all had trouble. The best was one that was externally powered via USB, but even it exhibited quirks.

I no longer have the Rift hooked up to that machine which freed its HDMI port up, but I too wish TVs and receivers had even just one DisplayPort.

Mostly because Java did the mistake to gate AOT behind commercial licenses, thus C and C++ kept being relevant for many tasks requiring AOT workloads.

Had Java shipped a AOT compiler in the box for free, Go would not happened, nor many of the workloads that Go has been taking away from C and C++ on the distributed computing space and devops.

C and C++ would have their use cases reduced to kernel programming, embedded, games and like else.

If only there was a document that you could refer to to inform your post.
I have, and assuming your predecessor doesn't mind, you still get enough useful answers to make it worth it a lot of the time.

Especially if you manage to get to just chatting about the project - at some point they'll almost certainly go "oh! while I remember," followed by the answer to a question you didn't realise you should've asked.

The value is often in the commiseration rather than the interrogation, basically.
you seem to think it's normal for people to walk up to you and call you an asshole.

Maybe you're just an asshole?
Thank you. I stand corrected on some points. The messy ecosystem of npm, yarn, pnpm, JS, TS, ES, and ESM has all cost me a good amount of white hair.

A good source of my confusion came with not immediately recognizing that a new package registry does not require a new package manager to work with. I think the "jsr" commands in the code samples and the jsr.json make it feel like there's a new package manager in play here. If the team has made it so that npm works with "jsr" and vice versa, kudos to them because that's a big win for the users.
Is that a good reason to write in raw JS today?

I'm not betting anything on TypeScript. It was released 11 years ago, and it's incredibly valuable to me. If it takes another 5 years for ES to implement first-class types, and it's a good implementation, I'll start using ES for new work at that time. What's lost here? TS won't just stop compiling.
Yes, also without reducing salaries.
Astronomy papers like this are pure science fiction. It's fun to think about but this is pure extrapolation and does not follow any scientific method. The only way to scientifically prove these things in this paper is to get first-hand measurements, which are impossible with today's technology.
How does it make sense to recommend Google Suite to someone unusually concerned with privacy?
One solution to the package dependency swamp is to make a project with little to no dependencies?
I'm rambling but I would curious to experiment with an approach where, when I needed a bit of code to solve a problem the "package manager" (more like code procurer) would just find a snippet of code I need, perhaps reference it's origin, perhaps add related unit tests and then I would copy paste it into my own code base.
whoosh - ok, got it. Very good. :)

We're probably talking about trees that would more than a human generation (and perhaps several) to reach marketable size.

There's market demand for consuming that kind of old growth wood, but it's wager that it's impossible for the market to produce it. As an institution, it's just too short sighted.
You can sue for basically any reason in the US. If Musk is able to prove they are mishandling the money, which I think is debatable, then the case can proceed.

Just because you donate money doesn’t mean the charity or nonprofit (or whatever OpenAi is), can do as they like. They may still be committing fraud if they are not using the money in the way that they claim.
Pretty interesting to see the difference in the grain. I do notice the softness of the wall studs when I hang anything in my newer place. Still "they dont build em like they used to" is a bit... wrong. Nimby's or "old heads" as we call em, badmouth new builds for their quality. I've lived in extremely well-built 18th century homes, and now one that is less than a decade old and I greatly, greatly prefer the latter.

Newer features I appreciate are engineered joists (stronger, less creaking floors and noise transmission), doors and double pane windows that seal out air and noise, good insulation, central HVAC, PEX plumbing, neutral wiring, and the fact that if I need to fix or replace anything, it can be easily ordered if not found at a hardware store.

Yeah, maybe some of these materials are not as "sturdy" to the touch and maybe they have a shorter life-span, but I am positive they work better and are cheaper/easier to maintain.

Thinking about it more, there's no down side to DP. Every card manufacturer should spend an extra $2 and ship with a DP -> HDMI adapter and drop HDMI universally. There's no down side.
