QI is atrocious. See some choice quotes from https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/02/19/qualified-... :

> Although a prior court decision had held that it was unconstitutional to release a police dog on a suspect who was lying down, the court in Alexander Baxter’s case granted qualiﬁed immunity to the officers because, it held, the prior decision did not clearly establish the unconstitutionality of the ofﬁcers’ decision to release a police dog on a person who was seated with his hands in the air.

> Because no prior court opinion had similar facts, the appeals court judges dismissed Jayzel’s excessive-force claim, even though they believed Aikala’s decision to tase a potential domestic violence victim went “far beyond the pale” and violated the Fourth Amendment.

> In Jessop v. City of Fresno, police officers stole $225,000 in cash and rare coins when executing a warrant. Prior cases had held that it was unconstitutional for officers to steal, but those cases were factually distinct — involving the theft of different types of property under different circumstances. According to the appeals court, the officers “ought to have recognized” that it was wrong to steal the coins and cash, but “they did not have clear notice that it violated the Fourth Amendment” because prior court decisions “did not put the constitutional question beyond debate.”
BMI is purely a weight/height calculation. If BMI is unchanged that just means total weight is unchanged — meaning, if fat was lost, muscle must have been gained.
> If BMI is unaffected, wouldn't that mean muscle loss as well?

For a given person, BMI is equivalent to weight (because height is fixed). If fat went down, but weight/BMI stayed the same, that would indicate an increase in the non-fat components of body weight.

Nope BMI is just a "weight to height" ratio

The author needs to learn about techniques for rendering deep zooms into the Mandelbrot set. Since 2013 it has been possible to render images that are 2^-hundreds across using mostly double precision arithmetic, apart from a few anchor points calculated with multiprecision (hundreds of bits) arithmetic.

The deep zoom mathematics includes techniques for introspecting the iterations to detect glitches, which need extra multiprecision anchor points to be calculated.

In my experience of non-deep-zoom rendering, and contrary to the authors arguments, period detection works well for speeding up renders. It appeared to be fairly safe from false positives. https://dotat.at/@/2010-11-16-interior-iteration-with-less-p... https://dotat.at/prog/mandelbrot/cyclic.png

Dimon showed subtlety in his position on the rights of individuals when it came to investing.
The CEO may be critical of BTC, but JPMorgan is still a major participant in the crypto market.
The statements made by Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, about Bitcoin in an interview with CNBC were widely reported. Even though Dimon has always been a vocal opponent of cryptocurrencies, his most recent remarks have ignited debates in the financial industry.

He showed some subtlety in his position on the rights of individuals when it came to investing decisions by drawing parallels between Bitcoin and cigarettes. Regardless of his own opinions, Dimon made it clear that he would support the rights of investors to buy Bitcoin.
Well, by your definition of Exceptions and Errors, errors are something that Python, the formal language as understood by the computer, doesn't know anything about. It's a concept for humans that they can use when analysing programs. And different analyses might come to different conclusions. [0]

You could signal errors via eg returning None or False or throwing an exception. But not throwing an exception could also be an error. (Eg if your for-loop never ends, that might be an error. And that would be synonymous with StopIteration never being thrown.)

[0] Eg for a program like 'cat' it would normally be considered an error, when the file being read doesn't exist. But perhaps in my particular usage, that's expected to occur quite often, and is a normal part of my operation. You can translate this example to Python: FileNotFound might be an error, or a normal condition.
> They do _not_ resolve the Hubble tension.

Thank you! They should have clarified this up front in the title or the abstract. The original article makes it sound like it has been resolved:

> (title) Webb & Hubble confirm Universe’s expansion rate

> (abstract) ... However, a persistent difference, called the Hubble Tension, is seen between the value of the constant measured with a wide range of independent distance indicators and its value predicted from the afterglow of the Big Bang. The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed that the Hubble Space Telescope’s keen eye was _right all along_ (emphasis mine), erasing any lingering doubt about Hubble’s measurements.

This feels like bad reporting to me. A better title would be "Webb confirms Hubble's measurement of Universe’s expansion rate", but that would probably be less exciting...
Censorship is a broad thing, usually mandated by a government. Individuals or even companies making decisions for their own platforms is not the same thing.

By far the biggest concern. I suppose if you dilute it into a liter it would be slightly less horrible to suck down.

Don't worry, everyone. Apple can now afford to hire some app store reviewers by using the revenue from its new "Core Technology Fee." This fee requires developers to pay Apple €0.50 for every first annual installation exceeding a threshold of 1 million for apps distributed outside the App Store.

Dev here. We're aware of this, and "creating a separate space" is probably necessary - our featuresets are designed to give anyone the power to run their own Space. All in all, I think the bigger influence is who's already on the platform, which I will go into more depth in the next part of this blog.

>The article says Spending hours watching cooking shows won’t make you a better cook—cooking will. I disagree - there has to be some kind of give and take.

There's definitely a balance, and as you identify I think the point is to target the extreme that will spend hundreds of hours on cooking videos and no time actually coooking for themselves. At that point it's consumption for consumptions sake than as a means to progress oneself.

But sure, you need to consume to learn as well. No one should go into a terminal and expect to just know all the hundreds of built-in commands (let alone package managers to grab millions more). A manual traditionally doesn't help identify what commands are needed to start gaining proficiency either. That's what courses/tutorials excel in, to make you better at reading those man pages later on after practice with some fundamentals.

Even if it were true, per capita figures where the we are dividing by a vast number of people living in third-world conditions are disingenuous.

If we are looking at any sort of pollution, we should only divide it by the headcount of those actual consumers who produce it. Not hundreds of millions of their countrymen who just pad the per capita denominator.

In related news, Canada doesn't pollute that badly ... per square kilometer.
The network can be reduced to three primary roles: data servers, the aggregation infrastructure, and the application clients. Anybody can operate any of these, but generally the aggregation infra is high scale (and therefore expensive).

So you can have anyone fulfilling these roles. At present there are somewhere around 60 data servers with one large one we run; one aggregator infra; and probably around 10 actively developed clients. We hope to see all of these roles expand over time, but a likely stable future will see about as many aggregator infrastructure as the Web has search engines.

When we say an infrastructure takedown, we mean off the aggregator and the data server we run. This is high impact but not total. The user could migrate to another data server and then use another infra to persist. If we ever fail (on policy, as a business, etc) there is essentially a pathway for people to displace us.
Well, in Facebook's case, it's more than double (it appears to be 3 or 4 at most), and it is done smartly (the reverse caps try is only performed if you typed in your password with capslock turned on), and with a proper system to throttle attempts before locking an account, it seems reasonable to me.

Achtung ! Proceed with caution ! Friend of mine was consuming a lot of Apple cider vinegar for what she consider "health and dietary reasons" and end-up with small hole in her stomach. One day, she felt a severe pain ended up in hospital, where they found a hole. It is possible that she had small ulcer that was made worst by the continuous consumption of vinegar.
She stopped taking vinegar, took medication for a while and now ulcer is almost gone.
Also, if you have acid reflux, vinegar will absolutely destroy your stomach and make your acid reflux 100% worse.

EDIT: I want to bring up another important point. People who suffer from acid reflux might not notice it's effect for years, but if you look at statistics, they suffer from higher rates of stomach and esophagus cancers, worst teeth and myriad of other health issues. Continuously raising your stomach pH might not be good for your in the long run. Keep this in mind when reading this article. Temporarily taking ACV might work, contentiously for years - not a great idea.
>I was once in a meeting, with four people, plus the CTO. The CTO forbade us to take notes: it seems the fad of the week was that note taking is what makes meetings a waste of time. The meeting took two hours. Afterwards, the four of us had about eight different opinions of what had been decided. No follow-up actions were ever taken.

This is still the case in many companies I (founder of a small troubleshooting company; we search out problematic large, cash rich companies like these; they all have failing processes and IT all over the place) meet with; sometimes it's frowned upon, but often simply no one takes notes. Which shows these meetings (almost all meetings I go into) are a complete charade of managers wanting to show they have 'something important to do, really!' (somehow there are often 10+ people there). I am in meetings (including Zoom etc and irl) where i'm sure no-one really heard or understood what anyone else said (different accents of English from different countries and background and of course, no one can say anything because we all have to respect people etc); no notes, no recordings (and of course, the captions of the video chat or my phone didn't understand anything that was said either), while someone was explaining quite difficult, in depth stuff, for 2-3 hours. Afterwards, the stuff is rehashed in a 15 minute text chat with the person who explained the difficult stuff; why didn't they write it down in the first place and forgo the meeting? Because half(that's generous, it's more like 80%) of the room should have no (high paying) job; they are just there for being there.

Ah, the enterprise world, such joys; I enjoy it as I threat it like a cosmic joke; it's a comedy show, not unlike The Office including the main characters high pay.

Dealing with the IRS is never fun because it normally means you owe money but I have to say they’re quite competent (once you get a hold of them) and their digital services seem to be improving constantly.

Nice to see a branch of government actively trying to be user friendly (in the ways they can control). The IRS can’t do much about our insanely complex tax laws but they can make it easier to file.
I was a very early adopter of C#, became a bit of an evangelist consultant and introduced it with .NET into several companies with this kind of tech stack.

I had also previously worked at HP’s rival beforehand.

I’d developed a reputation (purely by chance) for migrating teams to .NET and that skill was in demand. When I would start with a new team the initial responses from developers were always the same. For VB6 and VBScript developers C# was a monumental paradigm shift.

They hated the Java style brackets. They wanted their IF’s, ELSE IF’s and END IF’s. Subroutines and functions were backwards. Everything to them felt foreign and wrong.

The truth was that many VB6 developers had come from background of VBA, working with Microsoft Access in corporate IT departments. Or they had come from classic ASP (VBScript) where you didn’t have to compile your code.

Many fought to use VB.NET instead. It felt closer to what they were used to.

However, I was convinced that C# was the future, and I’d impress this on the management teams that would hire me. Every piece of documentation Microsoft put out and every code sample they provided, pushed, promoted and prioritized C# over VB.NET and I was convinced that C# would eventually dominate VB.NET. I also believed that for the web, C# was closer to JavaScript and that had become the de facto browser scripting language, making the context switch easier for website developers.

The more they used C#, the more they loved it. Sure I came across the odd stubborn senior that refused to accept the inevitable, but critical mass and their management usually helped them along the way. In the end, the speed, structure, peers and power of .NET compared to VB6 would eventually win them over.

These days I still come across the odd old .NET Framework application written in VB.NET. Sometimes even on rare occasions a website written in classic ASP. However, they’re always legacy apps on their last legs, where there’s maybe one old programmer keeping it from falling apart and nobody else knows how to support it. Any developer with less than ten years experience probably hasn’t even seen VB.NET. At least, I’ve never seen a company start a new project in VB.NET in years. As far as I’m concerned VB.NET is a dead language now and I was proved right.

I still work in the .NET community and have watched it grow and thrive into what it is today. I never could have imagined being able to read the source code of .NET back then, but today I can. I’d never have believed .NET would run on Linux, and as a preference over Windows as well! I’d never have believed it would become one of the fastest and most performative languages either, but here we are 20+ years later.

Yes I danced with the devil that is Microsoft. I knew what I was getting into when I started, but it’s put food on the table for all these years and I don’t regret it at all. It’s been a wild ride.

It's on Android, but they meant that it's not on the Play store. They brought Fortnite up as an example of a popular app not available through the Play store. They don't want this to happen to iPhone apps in the future; they'd prefer either that the app is on the Apple app store, or it isn't distributed at all.
it's safe to say that.

Another thing terrible about the Settings app is you cannot navigate it with the keyboard only (at least I have not figured out how). So if your Bluetooth mouse fails (which happens at least once a week for me) you can’t use a keyboard alone to correct it. Nope you have to fish out a wired mouse, plug it in, and then reset Bluetooth or whatever it takes to get the BT mouse working again. Madness.

I was told that sometimes during world wars era my forefathers took long train rides for work etc, and being very poor they only had bread to take with them, but trains would have salt, oil and vinegar in the lunch wagons, so they would mix some salt into vinegar and dip their bread in that.

Given that the rocket blew up more or less at launch, it should be full of unspent fuel. How does one put out that fire? I'm guessing there's a lot of energy stored there, so letting it burn through doesn't seem wise.
