I think you're misunderstanding my point, it's not about implementation or spec bugs but design. Forget Ladybird for a moment and think of Firefox. Its core design was something along the lines of 'x-platform toolkit for making enterprise groupware apps' where one of the apps was a web browser. Kind of neat for 1998, by 2008 it was clear that's no longer a good fit for making a browser. Despite heroic efforts and many advances, Firefox has never really been able to close the gap to more recent browsers. And (statistically) nobody makes new browsers based on Firefox, it's effectively a design dead end.

It can be hard to retrofit 'complicated but decent parser with a js runtime attached' to something like 'safe parser of arbitrarily adversarial inputs connected to an open RCE' (i.e. something akin to a modern browser) if the latter wasn't a fundamental design goal to start with.
The URL parsing in httpx is rfc3986, which is not the same as WHATWG URL living standard.

rfc3986 may reject URLs which browsers accept, or it can handle them in a different way. WHATWG URL living standard tries to put on paper the real browser behavior, so it's a much better standard if you need to parse URLs extracted from real-world web pages.

Talking with mainframe guys for the last half decade, they seem to avoid JCL when they can and treat REXX like a super power.
Sorry, that must have been me. LOL.

I had a Hackintosh and felt that any crash was 99% my fault and probably an edge case for MacOS. But in my defense, CrashReporter is way too permissive and will send a report even when the user doesn't want it done. After a app or hard crash I'll get the window that a bug report was sent and I know damn well some engineer is going to look at it and it won't make any sense that a MacBook has this particular GPU.

I wonder if it's the same reason as why Civilization 6 stopped working on iPadOS 17.4. Did they change something deep in the kernel for DMA compliance?

The major flaw in his argument is his abject dismissal of personal experience. He gives all of about 2 sentences to the subject and fills the rest of the book with plausible sounding arguments that miss the point. He's either right or he's wrong, and no amount of logic changes that.

As people are intimidately related to mystical experience it makes for a rather weak read once you spot his refusal to examine cross-cultural accounts of experiences - especially if you're aware of the kundalini literature/have had experiences yourself (see my other comment).

Lately I've been looking at the generation of the YAML files. I'm not a fan. PKL was released and seemed promising, but support is limited (and I'd say after trying to build some stuff - tooling isn't that great).

Internet searches hadn't brought me anything.

Does anyone has some success stories with working with multiple YAML documents or is this always ending up in "just hack bunch of scripts, because alternatives are worse" ?

Being a mildly religious person with lots of questions about it I have wondered how prophecy works from scientific or psychological view. Can you share some of the things you learned about prophecy from the book you mentioned?

The religion I fall into has lots of stories where starting from first person/prophet everyone was making the same prophecy about the last one. I sometimes wondered how it works from an external non-religious but still curious view because religion doesn't have answer to this line of questioning (except God) and demands belief.

Your question just made me realise that prophecy is a thing people have wrote about which is new for me.

We actually rely upon two different operating environments for COBOL that do not originate from IBM.

The first is OS2200. Our final major application on this platform was complete by 1970, and links COBOL into assembler that accesses the hierarchical DMS database. The first SMP port of UNIX was to this hardware:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_2200

The second is VMS, specifically the VAX variety. VMS bundled a COBOL compiler, which we used to write ACMS applications.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVMS

We continue to produce new COBOL code for both.

>I also wonder why it isn't coming out for two years, when they can already make them via CNC?

conditions testing and certification is a likely reason.

>I can see $9000 as a fair price, but also expensive enough to buy one, scan it, and then CNC one of your own.

the gearbox and the process itself are expensive. the materials analysis and selection are expensive. the cfd is expensive. You're going to need a 5+1 axis machine at the least to perform the manufacturing.

fwiw I think the price is ridiculous, but normal, because unfortunately I have experience with the marine prop market and realize that anything 'marine' or 'yacht' labeled has a 250% markup by default.

a line from a sitcom occurs to me : 'This boat shit is expensive.'.

The entire purpose of putting DRM on media is to retain control of it while allowing access. It's simply infeasible to "buy" anything that's DRM-restricted in any sense we would recognize as "buying". Yes, Amazon engaged in false advertising, but essentially every organization selling anything electronic (including devices) is doing the same right now, and we have to change the law to change that reality

The way they've defined "persuasive bullshitting" sounds like would capture 90% of human-to-human interaction.

People almost always have an angle.

I suspect this research itself has an angle as well, making it meta persuasive bullshitting.

D’oh that’s what I get for trusting my mediocre Hebrew keyboarding skills. For those who don’t know the Hebrew alphabet, both ת and ט are commonly transcribed as T (the former often as TH, but it’s meant to be a German aspirated T sound rather than the English th).
The printers went looking for things to print, and they printed anything and everything. The easiest way to get material to print, besides copying other printers' output, was to commission how-to manuals. Germany was flooded with how-to informational manuals on every topic.

Much like the software industry. Free software runs the world.
Reddit for me is the slowest site. And while old.reddit fixes this they try to steer you back to main reddit at any opportunity!
> I can see $9000 as a fair price, but also expensive enough to buy one, scan it, and then CNC one of your own.

Ironically, that also includes the price of purchasing the CNC machine to machine it on.

To me this looks like it would be very beneficial to research the viability of lost-casting from a 3d print and do away with even needing to CNC machine anything aside from the precision bearing surfaces. Though, admittedly, I don't know how viable cast propellers are.
So forests have a lower albedo, but simultaneously they're observed to be cooler than surrounding land.

The missing piece is transpiration. Only ~3% of absorbed sunlight energy goes into photosynthesis, but ~50% of the energy goes to buffering and transpiring (purifying) water. This process is ultimtely responsible for ~80% of the rainfall on the land parts of the Earth[0], ie it's the main reason why some of our continent interiors are not deserts.

So maybe let's not rush to devalue those dark, dark forests just yet, when that absorbed sunlight is precisely what's powering our water cycle and holding off desertification. :-\

The study itself even acknowledges this omission:

We note that other mechanisms by which tree cover may affect atmospheric composition, such as... changes in evapotranspiration (26), could influence our study’s outcomes.

Of course they are also guilty. LE isn't the most to blame in reality, it's just an example that old hardware isn't important to decision makers.

Ideally reusable? I think given that SpaceX are now basically guaranteed to provide 100% reusability for the US, anyone trying to keep up, to even remotely match their capabilities, without reusability, will basically bankrupt themselves. I.e. falling in the same trap the Soviet Union did vs USA during the Cold War.

In other words: if a country wants to play this game, reusability is a hard requirement.
I haven't really seen flow-charts used in books or elsewhere since about the late 1970s - early 1980s.

They can still be used to model small sections of software prior to making pseudo-code of the same thing. I'd consider the use of pseudo-code as the modern-day version of flow-charts.

Anything that provides a 'mind-picture' of what the program does is useful.

By all means, show that flow-charts exist. Some students will find them more useful than other students will. And show that other ways of seeing the same thing exist too.
it's usually about how much energy your setup takes to recapture turbulence into useful energy after the first spin, and it's a tight-rope act trying to figure that stuff out.

So yes, I imagine you could, but at some point those hydrodynamic gains run into the physics problem of spinning mass even if you can walk the turbulence tight-rope.
That is one performance metric. What about energy use and loading search results not just the home page. I find DDG faster from a perception point of view. I imagine on sone metrics it is faster.

I live in Sweden as well and I do have several 'smart' devices but I never agreed to any term of service. How? By getting second-hand devices and installing LineageOS (and before that, Cyanogemmod) on them. No 'gapps' (Google apps), no play store. Instead of the play store I use Aurora Store to get BankID - yes, it complains about not having access to Google services but it works fine - which I keep disabled when not in use:

# ls /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.shortcuts
BankID:disable
BankID:enable
...

The ...:enable file for any given app is a hardlink to its ...:disable file. The contents are as follows:

# cat /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.shortcuts/BankID:disable
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash

PACKAGE="com.bankid.bus"
PATH="/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin:$PATH"

command=$(echo "$0"|cut -d: -f2)

pman () {
action=$1
shift
for package in $@; do
sudo pm $action $package
done
}

case $command in
disable|enable)
pman $command $PACKAGE
;;
*)
echo "command '$command' not supported"
;;
esac
exit 0

By keeping these files in the ~/.shortcuts directory they can be accessed through a Termux widget in the launcher which makes it trivial to enable/disable apps when needed.

I had the same experience with windows 98/2k and my franken pc of randomly upgraded parts. I used to have to reinstall win98 every other month or so because it was so unstable. I had the installer on a separate partition, so I could just wipe the system disk and have a clean install up in 12 minutes.

the vast-vast majority of marine propellers are cast first and then machine-finished.

> How would solar help with "milk powder"? Or recycling? Or transport?

Sorry, I might be missing your point here as you already know my answer - solar power is an energy source.

Dehydrating milk by burning coal is a dirty option. Fonterra burns a lot. They don’t say how much but numbers up to 700k tons are claimed [1]. I’d love a better source, as real usage is likely lower. However they do use more than a decent sized power plant.

An electrified rail network is basic infrastructure. We send everything by truck. It destroys the roads and the bridges. It clogs the cities as the ports are located poorly for road access (Auckland and Tauranga). We depend on a few ships to connect the North and South Island. Electric ships have been considered but we have made zero actual progress replacing our aging and decaying ships.

Encouraging the use of electric transport seems an obvious thing when we are a heavily hydro country. We may be losing Rio Tinto, who use a huge percentage of our power. We could use this energy for transport. Instead we are upping taxes on electric cars and dropping taxes on large, fuel inefficient utes/suv/trucks (not sure what everyone calls them).

We could do a lot better with what we have.

Fantastic! Would you like me to make an issue for this?
Countries like the US have not seen as large of a drop in birth rates like China. Many countries in the West have also successfully used immigration to blunt the impact of falling birth rates.

Countries like China are unable to take advantage of immigration. If increasing birth rates were easy for authoritarian countries like China, they wouldn’t be in this mess in the 1st place. This is a terrible argument. This situation is made worse with many mainlanders are trying to leave China.

The US and its allies like Japan and Australia have already implemented containment of China in the island chains. Pretty sure that thr Philippines and Vietnam are on board as well. This wouldn’t have happened if Wolf Warrior diplomacy weren’t a thing. All anyone has to do is cut off imports from the Middle East to cripple China. (No, Russian imports aren't enough. Most of their pipelines were destined for the EU. )Even India can cut off Middle East energy exports on its own because China doesn’t have a long range navy.

The BRICS coalition has also largely been a failure because no one can agree on what currency to use.

If either the Hu or Jiang faction were still in power, none of this would have happened because unlike Xi neither faction was delusional.
The main question now is why hasn't it been exposed in pre-release 14.4. This could mean some very urgent and risky change got its way to the 14.4 release, or that the whole macos release process is broken and unstable.

I’m curious about what is happening in the field of reversable computing. I haven’t heard much about it at all in the last 20 years. Basic information theory tells us that it takes energy to destroy information, so building ALUs that limit destroying information seems like a bit of a no brainer for attempting to create lower power (and heat) computing. The basic premise is that for any operation that loses info you store enough bits to allow the operation to run backwards. If you were clever about it, you could design your chips to only destroy bits in places that can be effectively as well. I’m sure reality gets in the way of pure theory, but I was sure that people were spending enough effort on the concept to have heard more about it.

Putting up fliers, choosing to be public is vastly, vastly different from using information previously provided under a different pretext for an entirely unwanted and unintended purpose, especially when it is to train digital intelligences that have inherently massive problematic social costs without explicit consent.

Put another way, it’s fine with me if someone wants to use the content that I provided to drive value on a social website.

It’s not OK with me that someone uses the content that I provided to replicate the author of what was written (without permission).

One thing to really understand about artificial intelligence is that it is in someways, essentially a reverse engineering of the person providing the content. I did not authorize a digital twin to be created from the content that I provided. I did not authorize a digital copy of myself, but that is what all of these companies are doing.

A fundamental stripping of the authorship to the point where you can replicate a proxy of the author and not just use the derivatives of that author.

This is a fundamental difference, because no other technology has ever been able to go back up the food chain and replicate the author in a way that allows for not only replication of the content and its relative functions, but a complete photocopying of the ideas and thinking and other mechanisms and patterns of the person that’s creating it.

It’s a profound difference of people have a hard time seeing.n

I gave permission to use the content I provided. I did not give permission for someone to act as me or make a proxy of me based on what I have provided.

I consented for my media to be used, but not me and that’s a huge difference.
How do management teams get to such a point where they’re so wildly out of touch like this?

I think you are close to the truth there.

But I doubt companies purposely increase their hosting costs as some kind of firewall to only include the rich. More like they just don’t care. Same reason for technical debt, everyone wants to grow and move needles.

If a company could magically make their site more available and efficient for free I am sure they would jump at the chance. But spending a million on that vs. a million on ads wont seem worth it.
Not OP, but the fact that I have an easily accessible text file on my desktop with the exact commands to run in my terminal to recompile the graphics driver when upgrading packages breaks graphics again should speak volumes. I don't really mind, because running 3 commands in the terminal a few times per year is not particularly difficult for me. I could see it being difficult for non-devs though.

What does get annoying is when such an OS upgrade breaks the wifi drivers and I have to setup a bluetooth hotspot on my phone to access the github repo and fetch the latest driver version for the wifi dongle.
Apart from the actual evidence of course:

One theory is the barrier between the conscious and subconscious mind weakens, and the subconscious begins to project into the conscious mind. That may account for visions and a variety of strange experiences. But to the perceiver, these may appear very real.

Shinzen Young says he went through a period of hallucinating giant insects that he could even touch.

So to say there's no evidence isn't entirely true for firsthand subjects, as the experiences may be as real as the rest of their perceptions. The difference with mental illness apparently lies in knowing the experiences are out-of-the-ordinary though.
