Your link makes sense, and I believe you.
Have struggled with similar issues. But who knows what the future will bring? Google once said "don't be evil"; Oracle bought Sun. Is there any way you can guarantee your future actions? Contracts, articles of association/company constitution? Maybe setup a trust or charity? I don't think there is.
Sure it is a lot. It is extremely much. Your mistake is to compare it to the US.

The US spends more, but for its world-wide empire, much of which has nothing to do with defending Europe or even NATO.

That's not what Europe needs do.
Russia doesn't care about pacifying Ukraine. If the US had approached Afghanistan with a mindset similar to Russia, there would be no Afghans left, except the few that swore loyalty out of fear. Any dissent would mean death. The US clearly had different goals. Ones that are much much harder to achieve than just killing everyone.

My big pet peeve is AWS adding buttons in the UI to make "folders".

It is also a fiction! There are no folders in S3.

> When you create a folder in Amazon S3, S3 creates a 0-byte object with a key that's set to the folder name that you provided. For example, if you create a folder named photos in your bucket, the Amazon S3 console creates a 0-byte object with the key photos/. The console creates this object to support the idea of folders.

To me this is an incredibly complicated economic problem.
I was struck by the number of people pictured wearing high vis but not helmets; I suppose it might partially be because they're riding in places where pedestrians are otherwise very rare so cars are an even greater danger than usual. The article mentions:

> At the same time, helmets pose special problems for Amish women. They grow their hair long and keep it wrapped in a bun covered with a cap. For this reason, most bike helmets do not fit Amish women. Mullett said he has talked with some helmet manufacturers and encouraged them to build helmets suitable for Amish women, so far without success. For now, far more men wear helmets than women.

Seems to me that if you could make an exception/determination that ebikes were okay, it would make sense to adjust the rules around hairstyle and cap wearing as well. Not really my place to speak though.

Weird how that list doesn't include the state, coinage, or farming. Or animal domestication. Or smelting iron. Or steam engines and machine tools.

Computers are basically irrelevant but networking would be huge - being able to communicate near-instantly across large distances was possibly the single biggest limiting factor for the size of empires in agrarian societies (other than food).
S3 is a tagged versioned object storage with file like semantics implemented in the AWS SDK (via AWS S3 API's). The S3 object key is the tag.

Files and folders are used to make S3 buckets more approachable to those who either don't know or don't want to know what it actually is, and one day they get a surprise.
Yes, but at what cost. The cost of living for food and general groceries has gone up to 700%. Some prices are even the same as those from Spain. However, the minimal wage there is of €1050 p/month, while our minimal wage is around U$S200.

When will prices drop, we don't know. However, there's little incentive to do so. Argentina does one thing right and that is exporting good quality food. If it doesn't get bought internally, it will get exported instead of lowering prices.

While I get you're more comfortable with books, that would be the same argument against them for people with poor vision or high eye strain, don't want a physical object nor stare at a screen etc.

It's sometimes interesting to be listening to a podcast for litteraly days worth of time, and then be offered that same content in an edited book form. I wouldn't believe someone telling me I need to read the book to have the deeper understanding of the subject.

IMHO books as a support aren't magical and ideas can be communicated in better ways depending on the recepient. I feel this gets lost in many "people should be reading" discussions.

There are mythic branches of the Christianities. In fact, most of the religions have mythic branches and the ideas about these topics on self are strikingly similar and convergent.

On the other direction, Buddhism is not so 'spiritual directed' in the prescientific history. The difference is just that Buddhism is very malleable. People can easily pick and choose the text and practices and even treat it as non religion. You can easily practice Buddhism in the modern context without the baggage.

> California had a ballot referendum for permanent DST back in 2018.

No, it didn’t.

It had a legislatively-referred statute proposition (neither an initiative, which is a law proposed by the voters, nor a referendum, which is a voter-initiated exercise moving a bill already passed by the legislature to a vote of the people) to both align California law with federal law on Daylight Savings Time (since a prior voter initiative technically locked California into both having a DST switch and having a particular DST period which was no longer the standard federally-allowed period, and the legislature cannot change laws passed by voter initiative without securing the approval of voters) and allow (but not require) the legislature to make further changes to the DST period as long as they were within federal law, including either permanent standard time or permanent DST (but the latter only if federal law was changed to allow it.)

No, these APIs have mostly generated docs from code, they are just bad, and i want something, that is documented around it. Like a wiki.
I have written my previous comment before reading the complete article, but the article does not contradict it.

The article says that there have also been several other authors who have speculated like me that the Greeks might have been aware of the regeneration ability of the liver.

The article continues to say that they do not believe that this was possible.

I agree that it is very unlikely that they were aware of liver regeneration, but it was not impossible.

At that time, they would have seen very frequently wounds to the liver, from spears, arrows or swords. Most of the wounded would have died due to infections but some of them would have survived and recovered.

The unlikely element is only the conclusion that their liver had regenerated, because it is unlikely that their corpses would have been dissected after death, to examine their livers. Nevertheless, in Egypt the viscera were removed before mummification. Therefore it is possible that some Egyptians could have noticed cases of liver regeneration and this knowledge could have been passed to some Greeks.

Even so, they might have thought that the cases of liver regeneration are an exception that can happen only with the help of gods, because most liver wounds must have been fatal, due to infections or blood loss.

I think this is not just a problem with ecosystems, but a consequence of the language design itself. Zig and Nim have extensive meta programming language facilities that making good autocompletion support is a very hard problem, while Java doesn't have such a complicated language design. (The problem with Java though is that it's instead hard to use without an IDE since there's too much boilerplate because of its spartan design).
Truckers are required to stop for 30 minutes every 4 hours. That's enough time to add another 4 hours of range to a battery.

If we had a lithium shortage the price would be spiking. Instead it's crashing. There are only a few kilograms of lithium in each vehicle battery, so the expanded supply is able to keep up.

Washington state passed permanent DST into law, but there is a federal law on the books saying they need federal congressional approval before they can implement it, so we are just waiting on them. We could actually just get rid of DST without federal approval, but no one really wants that.
Love the cute puppy logo!
Yes. It is, in practice, incredibly different.

Imagine you have a file named /some/dir/file.jpg.

In a filesystem, there’s an inode for /some. It contains an entry for /some/dir, which is also an inode, and then in the very deepest level, there is an inode for /some/dir/file.jpg. You can rename /some to /something_else if you want. Think of it kind of like a table:

+-------+--------+----------+-------+
| inode | parent | name | data |
+-------+--------+----------+-------+
| 1 | (null) | some | (dir) |
| 2 | 1 | dir | (dir) |
| 3 | 2 | file.jpg | jpeg |
+-------+--------+----------+-------+

In S3 (and other object stores), the table is like this:

+-------------------+------+
| key | data |
+-------------------+------+
| some/dir/file.jpg | jpeg |
+-------------------+------+

The kind of queries you can do is completely different. There are no inodes in S3. There is just a mapping from keys to objects. There’s an index on these keys, so you can do queries—but the / character is NOT SPECIAL and does not actually have any significance to the S3 storage system and API. The / character only has significance in the UI.

You can, if you want, use a completely different character to separate “components” in S3, rather than using /, because / is not special. If you want something like “some:dir:file.jpg” or “some.dir.file.jpg” you can do that. Again, because / is not special.

Couldn’t you just replace the prototype of the Audio API to return back whatever you wanted? The difficulty would be in getting enough fingerprints for your desired imitation but the article itself seems to have that information.
I am having trouble making it work on Firefox. I guess I could add an option to show a little button. Playing audio is allowed, it's the autoplay aspect that isn't.
You can create a simulated directory, and write a bunch of files in it, but you can't atomically rename it--behind the scenes each file needs to be copied from old name to new.
I think it's just the Web console, It's still prefix in the APIs and CLI.

This applies to everything so it’s moot.
I think there's a relationship between human flourishing and animal extinctions. Human flourishing goes up as animal extinctions go up, but quickly reaches diminishing returns as more animals go extinct. I agree that we may have gone too far, but I also think that aiming for zero animal extinctions is severely limiting.
This just seems a bizarre argument to me. I've written entire (fully novel!) programs with these things. If this is a parrot, we should hire parrots for software development and worry about them being the next dominant species.

Like, sure it doesn't know things that have zero documentation. I'm not saying it's human-level yet! That's never been the argument!

Look, you pulled this example out. You said it doesn't even work 37/38 times. Do you have another example? I just really don't understand what the basis for this argument is. I've found the thing a capable programmer within its limits!

In Kernel, the environments are completely reified--they exist as a thing and you can pass them around.

However, if you don't get an environment passed in, you can't get access to it. In addition, the environments in many ways are append-only, you can change what you see as "car" but you can't change what previous callers see as "car" unless you get a handle to their environment but that won't change previous calls.

It's really quite tricky. It's doubly tricky because there are some environment mutations that you need to do as the system that you need to prevent as the user once everything is bootstrapped.

I really wish Shutt had implemented a version in C/C++/Ada/anything systems language and not just a metacircular scheme implementation. The metacircularity obscures the management of the environments that is key to the implementation. It also obscures just how much garbage Kernel cons-es up in order to maintain all of the necessary housekeeping to pass all this stuff around.

Alas, he is no longer with us to request anything of. RIP.
Yeah, it’s sort of funny how “POSIXish semantics” has become our definition of these things, when it’s just one kind of thing that’s been called a filesystem historically.
Violet is spectral: it's a frequency at the short end of the spectrum, and a shorter frequency than our blue cone cells are tuned to detect. So really it should appear dark blue, but in fact when we look at it the red cones, which are activated by long wavelengths, send some amount of signal too. This is due to a bug.

Purple, meanwhile, is a genuine mixture of short and long wavelengths, causing the same response.
Argentina hss a harsh reality: if it opens up its market and gets dedicated to work on the most profitable industry, you're basically dooming more than half of its population to starvation and poverty.

There's a lot of sunken cost, millions of dollars and years of long running companies from an industry founded thanks to proteccionist policies.

Those companies don't generate whealth directly, but it does sustain domestic commerce, create jobs and give fluidity to the internal economy

A single current source for multiple receivers means the receivers have to be connected in series. This implies that the light switches would have to work as bypasses.

Also all LEDs would need to be rated for the same current.
Except, S3 does let you query by prefix and so the keys have more structure than the second diagram implies: they’re not just random keys, the API implies that common prefixes indicate related objects.
It's easy to laugh at these groups' apparent selective interpretations of their rules. But at the same time I realize that they are intelligent people, who no doubt reasoned this through to a degree that I can't even fathom. I don't know if this means that I'm right or they're right, whether a gut reaction of "haha that's obvious bullshit" should be listened to or whether that feeling should be ignored when it contradicts the experts' opinions.

Dante was not by default compatible with AES67 and neither was Ravenna, it was mildly inspired by and likely many of the engineers who work on Dante also work on the AES67 spec but AES67 is an industry specification much like any IEEE would be for EE.

AES67 also happens to be the audio backbone for SMPTE2110 which is why I predict we will see much greater penetration into the market.
Perhaps it is because it is a USA thing, but I do not understand the limits they talk about in the article. These Amish cannot use electricity... but they can use solar power?
