Apparently you're not supposed to make comparisons to Nazi Germany (Godwin's law if you want to be too-online about it); it's considered gauche I suppose. What's funny is that that strikes me as a really good rule to follow if you do in fact want to sleepwalk your society into an analogue of Nazi Germany.
OOI, this bytecode VM uses 30 instructions while something like Freeforth has 55 forth instructions- is it actually worth having a bytecode VM under the forth VM?

Arguments for are that you could migrate processes easier, and I/O has a std interface. But against that it's not native code.

I'm struggling with defining the instruction set for my own forth-style VM.
This is totally absurd, nothing more than a disgusting publicity stunt - "see, we're the good guys!".

A plane can airdrop something like 25 tons at a time - a single lorry can hold more than that, and Gaza needs hundreds of lorries a day at a minimum.

Julia has Value types for when a primitive type can be used during compilation: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.10/manual/types/#%22Value-t...

They aren't the same thing, I mostly brought them up to point out that Ada can only throw compile-time errors for range types under limited circumstances, otherwise you're expressing a runtime bounds check using the type system. Which I agree is a nice feature for a static language, which Julia is not; Ada won't let you leave out the runtime check, so numbers outside the range are unrepresentable in the program.

It should be possible to use Value types to write a generated function which instantiates a constructor for a primitive type which is restricted to a range. All type errors in Julia are at runtime, but like I said, Ada has to push many range exceptions to runtime as well, and the property that a number outside of the range is unrepresentable is preserved in both cases. Although I can't point you at an implementation of this in Julia, I'm increasingly confident that it could be done.

Julia's type system is also powerful enough to express units https://github.com/PainterQubits/Unitful.jl
I haven't read the paper, but does it apply to arbitrarily shaped drums? And if the basis can be arbitrarily large, is this an exciting result? It just says that the spectral domain is isomorphic?

Any specific variant of MOND, with definite formulae for the gravitational quantities, is falsifiable. (Though it may not be very easy to verify or falsify it, because besides the hypothetical "dark matter" there also exists true dark matter, i.e. interstellar gas and dust clouds.)

Any theory based on dark matter is not falsifiable, regardless what model is used for gravitation, because for now there is no constraint on the distribution of the dark matter.

The only way for the theory of dark matter to become a scientific theory is to discover an alternative way to determine where the dark matter is located, besides placing it wherever necessary to remove the discrepancies between the observations of the movements of the celestial bodies and the predictions of the current model of gravitation.

It's very hard to argue that when you give 100,000 people access to materials that are inherently worth billions, none of them are stealing those materials. Google has enough leakers to conservative media of all places that you should suspect that at least one Googler is exfiltrating data to China, Russia, or India.
I had ente for about a year. Does what the label says, but then Proton Drive released support for auto backup of pictures and I switched since pay for Proton and have a few terabytes of space with them.
Isn't this essentially the same problem with Dark Matter though? They keep looking for it, not finding it and proclaiming "well, it must be somewhere else!".

I always got the impression that when Dark Matter was initially labelled as such, it was just a name for the discrepancy between theoretical models and observations; and that the name itself seems to have driven this idea that it's the observations that are wrong and not the models.

Personally, when discussing Dark Matter vs. MOND, I think neither should be treated as a concrete "theory", but simply a different perspective on where the problem lies. "Dark Matter" is the idea that our observations are incomplete, and MOND is the idea that our theoretical models are wrong.

Hopefully this conundrum is resolved within my lifetime, because I'd love to know what the answer is. It would be absolutely wild if they're both right i.e. that our observations are incomplete and our models are wrong.
It’s not less effort. I’ve done both ways in production for large teams. What you described is literally entirely automated by the mesh in a more secure and maintainable way than a bespoke hand rolled solution.

You're close, but it's really when you have thousands of microservices using either shitty languages or shitty client RPC libraries where you can't easily perform client-side load balancing.

There are plenty of languages and RPC frameworks where you can solve this without resorting to a service mesh.

Practically, and to your point, service meshes solve an organizational problem, not a technical one.
Most states (and the District of Columbia) have shield laws. But that doesn't matter because there's no federal shield law.

The relevant distance here is not that to the sun, but that to the galactic center, which is within the range over which MOND is proposed to be noticeable. The argument is that, according to MOND, the galactic center would perturb orbits in the Kuiper belt, creating the alignment which has heretofore been taken as evidence for Planet Nine.
Yes that's exactly what it does, and it's possible some people don't know that because they haven't had to think about that stuff at work. But I do think the ergonomics of HTMX are better. I would argue that lowers the barrier to doing exactly what you want, which will lead to less over fetching.

> Requires a phone number to even sign up. How is that more usable than say opening up https://web.libera.chat and typing `/join #channel`

As much as I love the chaos of the old Internet where you could kick someone and they could immediately rejoin the channel, that's simply not practical on the modern Internet. If web.libera.chat were as popular as Discord they would probably end up requiring phone numbers too. (This wasn't always a requirement.)

> Actually awful search ergonomics alone, makes Discord more of a "blackhole" than IRC.

I don't really use Discord for technical stuff, but whenever I have tried to search for something in my social channels I have been able to find it easily. It's not for searching the world like Google is - it's for searching personal history and it does that really well.

I think my previous comment was very clear: developers should get to choose. If they want to pay a high commission for easy payments they should be able to. If they want to introduce greater friction for a lower cut they should be allowed to do that too.

Apple expressly forbids this in native apps. If the PWA platform were more viable it would offer this choice but it isn’t, an Apple has a vested interest in things staying that way. At the very same time they defend their restrictions upon native apps in court citing the web as an alternative platform. It’s very convenient.
Right, unless you run a javascript xslt processor, you can't do things after page load. There's at least one javascript implementation that lets you do data binding to do dynamic page updates, but I'm not familiar with it.

The main advantage for simple things is that you don't need an application server or compiler. It's all static files, and it's all built right into the browser so easy to get started with. For less simple things, it should be easier to cache since you can separate out user data and have the bulk of the information you send be the static template (which the user can cache).

I suppose maybe that last point is why people use javascript frameworks for static pages (so they can send a static, cached js file and then small payloads for user data), which seems like overkill to me.

It would be nice if browsers supported streaming xml. Of course streaming xml exists (e.g. XMPP). It's not really any different than json: the spec said you need to have a single root object, and then someone wrote a spec that says you don't need to do that.
Not the first time I see you try to use any thread related to pydantic or fastapi to market your own library, it’s getting boring.
As you drill down, so many of the layers of "solid rock" that would be strong enough to use as building stone, are actually somewhat porous to very porous, and the oils & gases are contained within the pores at generally higher pressures and temperatures as the depth increases.

Depending on where you drill, you may encounter a layer of salt, maybe about like if some extensive undersea landscapes had been coated in salt as their waters evaporated, then had become buried under thousands of feet of overburden stone during geologic time.

When drilling some exploratory oil & gas wells, as the anticipated pay zone is approached, the process will be halted and the entire drill string withdrawn from the borehole, to replace the regular drill bit with a hollow coring bit assembly.

With an accurate knowledge of how deep they begin taking core samples, the drilling picks up where it left off and these samples are brought to the surface for examination and experimentation. You mainly end up with a cylindrical column of rock sample a few feet long and 3 or 4 inches in diameter. Rarely is it all in one piece since any unconsolidated layers are natural discontinuities, and weak spots often fracture during rapid transportation from the field geologist, to the laboratory geologist. In the field they would be boxed in cardboard and marked in order with the best estimate of the footage depth of each layer contained in each box. Core samples from the pay zone or close to it can be literally oozing oil & gas out of the "solid rock" for hours after initial examination.

Anyway, every now and then there will be a core where it looks like a few inches to few feet or so of fairly clear glass instead of rock layers, that is the salt they drilled through to get deep enough to reach any oil or gas accumulated below. Basically lighter gases rise higher than liquids from much deeper below the pay zones for eons, and collect best under the strata that are lesser in permeability & porosity. And layers of glassy salt are some of the least permeable subsurface formations.
Sounds very cool. One thing I didn’t understand though:

How can a radius of a single disc (i.e. a single value) correspond to multiple values?
I’m an actual shareholder, and I was furious over the 50B compensation package.

Musk was already an investor with billions of dollars of incentive to do a good job. It was nothing short of fraud to pack the board with friends and relatives and push through a CEO pay package orders of magnitude greater than the already exorbitant US CEO pay. He is greedy, selfish and criminally insane.

I’m not even sure he works at Tesla anymore. Seems more preoccupied with Twitter and rockets and robots and drilling holes and how he didn’t get his share of the AI revolution. He’s a gambling addict - if you sent 1000 gamblers into a casino with 1000 dollars, a dozen would come out with 1 million. One of them would be name Elon. He’s a lucky psychopath, not a misunderstood genius.

The point is that all kinds of dark matter distribution models are proposed and evaluated to see which one fits best. Again, for example:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10538

And they still fail to explain other observations which require additional arguments as to why the dark matter is once again distributed in just the right way to give the rotation curve... that is already successfully predicted by MOND in most cases with just one universal parameter.

Whenever I read about Planet Nine search, I have a very naive (as a non-physicist) childish question: if we detect anomaly in our Solar System just less than a decade ago and can’t find anything visual which explains it, assuming there is giant planet/piece of ice floating somewhere at the edge of Solar System, how we are sure that there are not a lot of such objects and real space is not as “empty” as we think it is? Simply, what is the probability that let’s say space between us and Alpha Centaurs is not filled with objects like this? Invisible and leaving a tiny gravitational trace at the edge of our ability to detect it?

MOND and DM try to explain the same phenomena, and the debate can probably be settled on way or the other by looking at enough interesting galaxies, or by finding dark matter or definitely ruling out that it exists.

GR and Quantum Mechanics are not even really talking about the same thing and use incompatible mathematical frameworks. Another problem is also that there are actually not so many phenomena that we would need Quantum Gravity for. Particle physicists are yearning to find experimental evidence that would force us to retire the Standard Model to the history books. And their event horizon makes it kinda hard to study what is going on inside black holes.
I work in mobile gaming. A lot of used macs because you need to for iPhone development. During covid a lot of us started using our beefy windows gaming computers for development because Unity ran faster. A lot of us have stayed on those beefy boxes.

Personally I use Linux 90% of the time but for a long time I would regularly develop on 3 different machines: windows desktop, Linux laptop, MacBook. VSCode running on all three is a big improvement to this style of development. The windows terminal, annoying symlinks, line endings, PATH annoyances, were all perpetually annoying, but once you were set up, windows machines honestly feel pretty snappy.

This might sound true if you have a superficial understanding of relativity (and I would not be surprised to see people repeating this stuff on the internet), but it's completely false. The correction to Mercury's orbit precession from General Relativity has nothing to do with Mercury itself (its mass, speed or otherwise). It is purely based on the sun's gravitational field. If you want to interpret it as a potential field in the classical Newtonian sense, it basically picks up an additional 1/r^3 term. That's what disturbs the orbit and it's also the reason why this effect is negligible for other planets apart from Mercury, because it drops off much faster than the normal 1/r potential. Any object very close to a large mass like the sun would feel this distortion, irrespective of how fast it travels.
> Have you seen how people drive?

Yes, and that's precisely why the extra mass is so terrifying. You have it backwards.
Musk's pay increments were tied to performance milestones. Which he achieved. It really is not the court's role to say the compensation was excessive. This will likely be overturned on appeal.

It depends on the conversation. In a fast-moving conversation with a dozen people the emotes make it possible to "read the room" and avoid 10 people saying the same thing and drowning the channel in noise. The "who is answering who" makes it possible to have sidebar conversations without anyone losing the main thread. Some conversations are too big to read every message, but those features also make it possible to reduce the size of the conversation without any loss in information.

I disagree with that, and there are more ways to look at it, I suppose.

One aspect is that time matters more as long as you're able to keep alive, healthy and live a meaningful existence. All which are possible without "more than enough money".

Another is that, depending on a number of circumstances (many of which may be personal), time may matter more regardless of everything else.
That's sort of the point. The EU is requiring Apple to allow alternative app stores with all the same features as the main one. Originally Apple decided to remove these features from Safari rather than allow actual alternative browsers not based on webkit to have access.

Ask HN: Is data science a freelancer-compatible field?
Hi HN, I'm currently a (very mature) PhD student in CS and have about 20 years experience with Python web/database apps as well as a reasonable working knowledge of C/C++. I'm trying to diversify my work to include more that overlaps academia and scientists. I've done a very small bit before and really enjoyed it.

My question is whether the world of data science, R, data pipelines, data analysis in Python, etc is something that makes sense for someone looking for well paid part time or short contract work. We all know that some subsets of software are basically all full-time jobs, but I don't know much about that area. thanks
