Yeah, OK, sure, sure education will do the trick.

I'm an obese dude. I know a whole lot about nutrition and exercise. I cook for myself. I'm pretty active. Lets take a look at these recommendations:

* actions to support healthy practices from day 1, including breastfeeding promotion, protection and support;

I was breast-fed as a child. I am a big chonk.

* regulations on the harmful marketing of food and beverages to children;
school food and nutrition policies, including initiatives to regulate the sales of products high in fats, sugars and salt in proximity of schools;

I ate school lunch and only school lunch as a child, which was certainly not good, and was almost certainly never adequate in terms of nutrition for my early 6'+ frame. I am a big chonk.

* fiscal and pricing policies to promote healthy diets;

And this means what? I am a big chonk.

* nutrition labelling policies;

It's important to have nutrition labeling. Let's say I'm on a blood thinner that's sensitive to vitamin K due to genetic issues. Will that be part of the labeling? No? Well OK then. Not very helpful. That said, I can read calories and the macros. Nevertheless, I am a big chonk.

* public education and awareness campaigns for healthy diets and exercise;

Look, there have been public education and awareness campaigns for healthy diets and exercise for decades or even centuries. I personally needed to participate in the President's Physical Fitness test in the US, which I understand has been present since (checks notes) ah, the 1800s. Despite participating, I am a big chonk.

* standards for physical activity in schools;

I fully participated in gym classes to the best of my ability. Even my PE teachers were impressed with my efforts, despite the fact that I was a big chonk. I have remained active, and likely more so than average, in adulthood. I am still a big chonk.

* integration of obesity prevention and management services into primary health care.

Indeed, I have had many doctors make me feel bad about being a big chonk.

Look, none of this matters. I'm a 6'4" big chonk that '70s medicine was totally unprepared for, and there's more of us now. Something is going on that is making us big, and is making us hungry. I don't know what it is. I've spent my life trying to regulate it, and... education is not the answer. I know calories, I know my macros, I know nutrition, and the question here is... what can I eat that doesn't make me hungry?

The recent GLPs have helped. But there's a bigger question of why this is the way things are for an increasing number of us.

I read it when it was first posted, and skimmed it again just now to be sure, and my conclusion is unchanged: Nyquist has nothing useful to say about sampling profilers. I think the author would agree with me. See, for example, the discussion of EKG signals, or this bit from the intro:

> The difficulty with the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is that it is based on the notion that the signal to be sampled must be perfectly band limited. This property of the theorem is unfortunate because no real world signal is truly and perfectly band limited.

whose relevance I'll get to below.

(I'm assuming that by "sampling profiler" you mean the usual practice of recording on a cadence the call stack / program counter / etc of some code; if this is not what you meant please clarify)

If you approach sampling profiling from a signals viewpoint, what's the signal that you're sampling? I see it as a collection of pulse waves of varying (and irregular!) duty cycles, each pulse wave corresponding to a yes/no answer to "is the program inside this function / executing this instruction / etc". At any given sample we collect our data and that tells us which waves are high; all others will be low.

Nyquist, as the above quote points out, only applies to perfectly band limited signals. Not only are pulse waves not perfectly band limited, they're actually extremely not band limited, with energy at harmonics going all the way up. Right away that should tell you that Nyquist is the wrong way to be thinking about things!

And furthermore, Nyquist tells you what you need if you want to reconstruct the original signal, but why do you want to do that in the first place? Do you actually care about the phase of the wave and the timings of the pulses, or do you just care about how often the wave is high? (i.e. how often any bit of code is executed). I don't think I've ever cared about the phase and timings when profiling, but I do care very much about how often the wave is high.

>> The answers, of course, are yes. We already have a declarative programming language where expressing graph algorithms is extremely natural—Datalog, whose semantics are based on the relational algebra, which was developed in the 1970s.

If that's true - Datalog is based on relational algebra - then I'd be very interested to see the author's reference because the way I know it Datalog is a subset of Prolog, without functions so that termination can be guaranteed, and without negation-as-failure so that it's monotonic, depending on the variant, and in any case, incomplete (because termination).

For example, see:

What you always wanted to know about Datalog (and never dared to ask)

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/43410

Which begins with:

Datalog, a database query language based on the logic programming paradigm, is described.

So the right abstraction to think about Datalog is logic programming, and the First Order Predicate Calculus, not the relational calculus. It's true that Datalog is used as a database query language, unlike Prolog that is a general purpose language, but that's because of the incompleteness of Datalog, which is something you probably want for a db query language, but certainly don't want for a general purpose programming language.

You are right it works, but I guess I somehow usually expect it to happen in a lighter way, without the actual click going through. And when I do it, it feels weird to me. It feels like I have to exert more force than I would find "pleasurable" or "intuitive" for a right click. Like I either expect there to be a button that I have to actually press, or if it's a touchpad it feels like it should work with a lighter tap. It feels like having to press too hard for something that doesn't actually seem to go physically down enough.

Another thing that feels really weird to me is the cmd button location.

On windows I would use ctrl + c and v, it's easy to use my pinky finger, but with mac I have to twist my thumb and index finger.

It is about the overall build time, giant price tag and later on risks involved.

I am intentionally oversimplifying a bit, but for a new solar park, you ram metal poles into the ground, run metal beams cross those, put panels on those and cable all of these into a transformer with a lot of electronics. If that transformer detects a problem, it cuts power to the grid and that's it. Then you dig up a short caused by moles, replace it and turn it on again. Wind turbines aren't far off of that thing as well.

Wih nuclear you have for example the question of getting fuel. There is little nuclear fuel available outside of ex-soviet control. Efficient use of that fuel is also tricky, because if you tried to enrich nuclear fuel to make use of nuclear waste, you're 90% the way towards nuclear weapons and suddenly it's globally political.

You have the build time. We can stamp down a lot more solar parks and wind turbine parks in the time a single nuclear plant gets accepted, at least in europe. And also the maintenance time. Due to the planning and build costs of nuclear plants, these need to be planned to last 20 - 40 years. Especially with climate change and climate change turning chaotic - who can say some location is safe to start building a nuclear plant for 15 years, and say safe for 20 - 30 years? Especially if we consider that against renewables, and power storage improvements over these 15 years?

Like don't get me wrong. I also hate it that germany exited nuclear before exiting coal. Which, most likely, was lobby'd by the fossil energy companies. But building new nuclear facilities is too late.

They even made us write the same paper twice. Once in standard English and again in AEE, so the kids would know the difference.

I imagine it’s because reverse Polish notation is commonly accepted to be superior.
Btw, it goes without saying that if you wanted to have a general-purpose relational language then you should use Prolog, not Datalog. After all, if you use Prolog there's nothing stopping you from sticking to Datalog when you want, and only using the full power of Turing-completeness when you must.

Seriously. Learn Prolog. It's a powerful language and you'll never worry about the Object-Relational Impedance-Mismatch ever again in your life. The only reason not to learn it is that you will forever be sad that you can't use it in your day job. Or you'll find one where you can, like I did.

> 2.75 million unplugged wells in the US that output "6.6m tons of Co2 worth of methane" [2], or put in another way each well puts out 2.4T of Co2e each per year.

Per the article you cited, the 6.6m tonnes (not tons) of CO2e does not have a lot of empirical measurements behind it, and it may be much higher. That's one of the things these satellites can help to improve.

I think a better way to look at it is comparing the 57t of emissions with other sources of CO2 emissions. For example, a single cross-country flight puts out in the range of 300-350t of CO2 (~1t per passenger). So launching 6 of these satellites in separate launches would be equivalent to a single airliner flight, i.e. negligible in the grand scheme of things.
And apparently the only thing you can point to...
I guess we need terse, distinct pronunciations for each of the symbols. I heard a Physics youtuber say "nabla" the other day -- I didn't know that symbol had a name.

On the other hand, conventions for reading formulae out loud are difficult and prone to ambiguity.

One more idea. Even in ASCII, there are programming language notations that are hard to say. What is Go's "<-" symbol called? "Arrow"? "Send or receive"? What about C++'s "::"? "Colon colon"?

It is a neat linguistic puzzle to assign sounds to “{ ⊃ ⍵ ⊇⍨ ↑⍒≢¨ ⍵ /⍨ 2≥ (⊂"aeiou") (+/∊⍨)¨ ⍵ }”.
I know of some Python libraries that do this:

https://github.com/bradbase/xlcalculator
https://github.com/dgorissen/pycel
https://github.com/vinci1it2000/formulas

You give it an .xlsx file and it compiles to a Python representation where you can mutate "cells" and observe calculated results in other "cells", according to the formula DAG. Not sure about other languages but I'd be surprised if Python were the only one to have libraries like this.

Funfact: it's more complicated than you think to implement these engines. There's no spec for the formulae, so you have to reverse-engineer based on observed behaviour. You run into a lot of strange edge cases in seemingly mundane arithmetic formulae, and type conversions are a constant source of surprise.
If you use "from" in the second example, the answer is the same as in the first ... anyway the system should figure it out.
I will say that ChatGPT did a decent job of explaining non-documented instructions in prior attempts of binary patching.

> Formal/business language has higher association with prestigious jobs than informal/street/urban language. How is that even classified as "bias"?

Judging people's fitness for a job based on the dialect of English that they speak is by definition a form of bias. That it's bias that is also reflected in the workplace pre-LLMs doesn't make it not bias.

I appreciate you think you have, but you haven't. Appeals to vauge lofty notions of digital soverignty and other political values is not what i'm looking for and doesn't really mean much. I'm more looking for a threat model. What does the network accomplish? What are its limits? What are its intended properties?

> Additionally though, Radicle offers a level of censorship resitance and disruption tolerance that GitHub cannot offer.

That seems unlikely (at least as it stands now). Pretty sure it would be much easier to DoS the entire radicle network than to DoS github. It all depends on who you think your attacker is. Github has an excellent track record of standing up to china (for example nytimes archive on github is primarily about bypassing the great firewall of china) it is much weaker on DRM circumvention. All these things depend on how you define them. If you don't define them, and rigorously analyze them, then your censorship resistence is probably wishful thinking.
yes why? Are all your friends in the same place in the world with the same phone number? That would seem odd
But that gets back to the basic issue here - the answer to "how should Zoom take screenshots if someone is using a Wayland compositor?" turns out to be "Well, you needed to implement a separate server that re-imagines video as streams, like PulseAudio. Then they have to interface with that. Of course, Wayland doesn't support that (it explicitly makes it hard, in fact), so someone needs to design a protocol extension [0] first to make all this work".

That is a very complex answer. On X, the answer is "grab the relevant window". I can see why Zoom gave the whole mess a pass until the community sort themselves out. I'm doing the same thing; although it looks like (checks) 15 years of patience has been rewarded and Wayland isn't too much of a backslide from X servers.

Unfortunately automating I/O still isn't all that clear, I'd have clicking automated before I move over; it probably is possible but it is just a messy situation to figure out how.

[0] Technically not a Wayland extension, they bypassed the entire system. So now "Wayland compositor" tells us nothing whatsoever about whether the system can take screenshots, but we have to look up compositor-specific support for screencapture. The situation is ... technically better than X, but still silly. They could have avoided years of wasted time by just acknowledging that people want to intercept data as part of the protocol. The situation is a mess and it is silly that we can't have generic Wayland screenshot applications.
This is certainly a cool looking space. I could see myself walking through it with cathedral-like awe. I don't know if I would want to browse the stacks here, being as they are in short cases separated by many stairs. I don't know if I would actually want to read here for any length of time, it seems sterile and echoey, with no privacy. I don't believe there has been any modern architectural innovation which surpasses a cozy nook with a wing-backed chair when it comes to pure reading enjoyment. Keep trying though.

I sometimes wonder, as I did with Rem Koolhaas' Seattle Central Library design, whether architects spend a lot of time actually using or working in libraries. I guess the brief isn't "make the best library for patrons" but "make a library which can symbolize the glory of our city and its wealth".

Obfuscation has costs, and certificate pinning is more to make it more difficult for user-adversarial MITM than to prevent reverse engineering. Although the impact on reverse engineering is more than a happy accident.

At the end of the day, your code runs on user machines, and they can observe what the code does, so it's always possible to deobfuscate, and if one person does it and shares their results, it becomes very easy to replicate. That doesn't mean obfuscation is useless, but you shouldn't put too much time into it.
> Domino theory nonsense.

It isn't theory. It's a practical understanding of who and what Putin and the Russia state are.

The practical reality is that Russia has been expanding by increments. First Georgia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War

Then Crimea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_occupation_of_Crimea

And now they're trying for more of Ukraine.

Submission and appeasement don't lead to good outcomes.

Russia can end the war tomorrow. All Russia needs to do is get out of Ukraine. All of it. Simple to do, easy to achieve.

That's the best peace deal Russia can offer.

Oh hey, I wrote some of the flight software for one of those programs.

Something to note for those not familiar with satellite GIS stuff, the more satellites you have up there taking measurements, the more frequently you get data on emitters. Also, you can combine the datasets and sometimes increase the effective resolution. Additionally some are point trackers and some are mappers, they serve different purposes for localizing vs quantifying emissions.

Finally, there are some politics involved with various groups, some want access to data to name and shame, some want to do climate research, etc. It's a bit complicated on that front.
