Yeah to me they seem to fill a similar/same niche, both are implementations of dispatch queues. cr_task_run_sync mapping to dispatch_sync and cr_task_wait_request_signal + cr_task_run mapping to dispatch_async. This library seems to be slightly more low level in that by default you have to explicitly "run" the task whereas with GCD blocks are scheduled and run as soon as you enqueue them.

GCD is a lot more heavyweight though (but it brings a lot of niceties), whereas this is going to be much more portable.

I tested this with Firefox stable release and Brave stable release, 3 runs on each. Same exact extensions across both.

Highest scores across tests:
Firefox: 6.34 +- 0.31
Brave: 11.3 +- 0.37
on Ryzen 9 7940HS + RTX 3060 mobile

Which really sucks since I highly prefer Firefox but this past week I've been trying out Brave and I think its noticeably faster and smoother to me. Even with the reduced speed I'm still swayed toward Firefox for the customization factor you can achieve with userchrome.css file.
>collude to prevent those who won the election from putting in place what they promised their voters they'd do.

A prime feature of the multi-party system is that this is well within their rights, and even the spirit of democracy (if there is such a thing), to do. That the holders of 113 seats can collude against the holders of 37 seats is quite logical. All this coalition building and alliance forming, and even the political parties themselves to an extent, ultimately rest on 150 individual elected persons holding a seat who can in theory do and vote whatever they want.

> Morality is virtually embedded in physics itself, but it doesn't seem like you've read up on all the philosophy of it yet.

That sentence sets off major alarm bells for me. Both Marxism-Leninism and Nazism had their "philosophical necessity" founded on some currently-popular philosopher. "It is philosophically certain that an AGI will be moral" is a mighty thin reed to base your safety on. If nothing else, there are other philosophers, and it is far from clear that yours is correct.

And, you want me to read up on the philosophy of how morality is embedded in physics? Yeah, how about we read up on the physics of it?

Mind you, I don't actually buy the "AI will kill us all" fear. I just think your argument here is specious.

The Nikes you get at a department store have always been terrible compared to what you get at Foot Locker for example. Nike won't even allow certain sneakers to be sold depending on the level they judge the store to be.

The Ralph Lauren flagship store in Tokyo or NYC will generally have a better selection than the department store. A Macy's in Chicago will have a far better selection of a brand than a Macy's in a mid tier suburb. In college, I went to a mall serving an extremely rural community and a major college, and nearly everything in the casual section of the department store was extremely cheap and camo.

Its just market segmentation.

Online, the clothing brands I buy from directly tend to be of the quality I expect. Buying a polo from Amazon will be just as much of a crap shoot as buying from Temu, but the online store will generally have the quality shirt you've been buying.

> The participants described the first few individuals quite positively, using an average of 6.2 positive words each. But as they progressed through the sequence, their descriptions became significantly more negative, dipping to an average of just 4.7 positive words by the 20th person.

I don't have access to the study, but I'd be curious why they chose to count positive words as opposed to just asking people to rate on a numerical scale? My impression is that sentiment scoring via bag-of-words is not a particularly robust method, especially in 2024. It also sounds like they didn't normalize by description length, so outcome could just as easily be because people's responses got shorter as time went on due to fatigue?

(also, this is a nit with the article rather than the study, but given the methodology I think it is important to distinguish between becoming less positive and becoming more negative, and in this case I would not describe using fewer positive words as "became significantly more negative")

My question was, why on earth they consider Object Pascal memory safe. In contrast to the other languages mentioned in the report it doesn't even have automatic memory management. You can call dispose on a pointer while other pointers are still pointing to the object, as you can do in C++. Unsafe operations are neither specially treated by the syntax (in contrast to the unsafe sections in the languages you mentioned). C++ has even a lot more possibilities to write safe code than Object Pascal.

There are two things a good meat stock provides, one is flavor, and the other is _gelatin_. Vegetable provides the first but not the second, and store bought meat stock has the first, but not the second. A really good homemade meat stock will gel _solid_ if you refrigerate it. I've never found a brand of store bought meat stock that has an appreciable amount of gelatin.

One way to level up your pan sauces at home is to dissolve a packet of clear unflavored gelatin per cup of stock before using it -- give it about 10 minutes to bloom first and then stir it. It'll make it much thicker and richer as it reduces -- and this works for basically any recipe that needs stock.

Thank you for posting this. Until you've been on the infrastructure side of the problem you'll never truly grasp how big the internet is and how much of it is crap. I had managed a lot of email and SMTP filtering in the past and had a few users that really complained when things got past the spam filter. One user was complaining they were getting around 20 or so spams per day out out of about 100 received messages, and I agreed it seemed high compared to most users. Then I looked at the number of messages we blocked for that one user alone. Around 3 to 4 thousand messages every single day.

Without moderation and without limits spammers would just use up all the bandwidth and compute they could find blasting you off the face of the map.

Basically it means that we can't regard the Hubble result as a mismeasurement and the age of the universe seems to be different depending on how you measure it.

From the article:

"The bottom line is that the so-called Hubble Tension between what happens in the nearby Universe compared to the early Universe’s expansion remains a nagging puzzle for cosmologists. There may be something woven into the fabric of space that we don’t yet understand."

A related concept I noticed is that we are "wired" to identify with whoever is presented as the protagonist, even when the information is readily available to recognize them as the antagonist.

EG - I recently watched Peter Pan for the first time, as an adult. Peter is basically a horrible person who deludes and kidnaps children, puts them in incredibly dangerous situations, doesn't care about people other than to make himself look good (eg, he fought the pirates who had kidnapped the Indian princess, then he got so distracted w himself she nearly drowned in the tide). On the other hand, we're told that Hook and the pirates are the bad guys but really Hook is just responding to the fact that Peter had maimed him and fed his hand to a crocodile. There's no indication of anything bad Hook has done prior or since, other than trying to "get" Peter for having done that.

The protagonist of Peter Pan is actually the dad who was trying to protect the kids from nonsense but even he got derailed by the wife, therefore leaving the kids vulnerable to all that has happened to them.

But if you ask most people who are familiar with the story, they'll react to the superficial presentation that Pan is whimsical and aspirational for children while the Dad represents the dull adult world to be escaped from, or something like that.

The crux is that the narrative form suggests how we should feel about whom even if that makes no sense. I think this is what the article here is talking about as well in a different manifestation.
> Her manager cited her "lack of professionalism", including her frequent use of filler words like "like" and "totally", as a contributing factor.

Call me a dickhead or a boomer (even though I'm an old millenial/young X) but this is a deal breaker for me even when I interview engineers. No being able to speak a sentence without sticking a 'like' at the beginning and the end makes you sound dumb and is a major distraction.

From what we could tell, not really! It seems like a slow policy change, basically dictated at the level of the individual bureaucrat.

That said, the Zig Foundation got status in 2020, and the Amethyst Foundation (another Rust gamedev group) also got status recently, so we figured it was worth it to apply since we really do feel like it's the best-fitting designation for how we want to run things and what we want to do.

A lot of industrial ones come with GPIO built in, some even follow the same rpi pinout.
In the past I had to craft yaml files. Sometimes I needed quotes for a string, sometimes I had to put in a dash in front of a key, or just not. You basically needed to have the whole schema in your head.

There can only be so much nesting before you lose track of what item belong to which parent.
Copying some yaml structures over to another level requires care, as the result might look correct, but the white space parser thinks otherwise.

I have lost hours of debugging yaml files when a dash was missing somewhere or when I needed one more leading space. The parser accepts it happily, but half of the typical javascript programs will only detect things are wrong when it has already executed on half of your spec. The other half will just run with input that wasn't intended that way.

I remember writing artillery.io test specs where all those problems pop up.

Now the good thing from JSON is JSON Schema. The latest spec allows you to specify quite advanced validations.
Yaml has no such thing.

As to your remark: Yaml for front matter is defensible, as you dont have deeply nested structures. Though, as an obsidian user you want to make sure your front-matter is conforming to your own schema. That would require writing a json spec and then have your yaml internally converted to json before handing it over to the validator.

A spec is worthless if you cannot validate against it. Json and xml have a good story there.
I concede that yaml is more human-readable than json without an editor. Correctness is the holy grail though.

Welcome to Devel.ringlet.net
My guess is that the chip doesn't have enough RAM to store firmware image, verify it, and only then write it to flash. So instead it needs to write it on the fly as it receives data in chunks of 0x400 byte pages. It starts by erasing first page, but instead of immediately writing it instead keeps buffer for that page for later. Then it transfers remaining pages normally, and at the end only when signature is correctly verified it goes back to write the first page.

I also live in Brisbane, ie same area. Two examples of getting work done:

1. I was happing working in 36°C in November, but the temperature dropped to around 30°C after December and the humidity went up to near 100%. I got saturated in my own sweat on 50 meter walk to the work site. I worked outside for 1 hour stints, then retreated to aircon.

2. But not everyone could do that ... and in Brisbane, they died on the job. https://qnt.cfmeu.org/news/workers-walk-cross-river-rail-aft... I'm 64 and never head of seen of such a thing happening locally before. Remember, this is in Australia, a rich first world country, aircon everywhere, with some of the best medical resources on the planet (free).

On the news they were tell us we are seeing higher sustained humidity that Singapore, with higher temperatures. The government weather bureau predicted 20mm of rain over one night, and we got 200mm. Their explanation is while they have over 100 years of data, they had never seen this much moisture in the air before and so their models were untrained.

The Bureau said driver behind this is we get most of our moisture / rain fall from the Coral Sea, which is part of the Pacific. The El Nino on top of global warming has driven sea surface temperatures 1.5°C above normal. 1.5° - it sounds so small. What is terrifying is it is small. At the same time in Newfoundland the sea temperature was 8.5°C above normal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/07/28/ocean-temp... I guess the only reason people are still alive there in the average temperature is lower.
