I've always wondered how Google does this internally.

For all the cloud companies, "quota" is literally dollars. Bandwidth, memory, cpu, these are things they sell. So they are measured in money. The existing corporate budgetary process already manages dollars (indeed, that's its main function). If you want more of one of these things, you'll be displacing some customer who stood ready to pay for them (i.e. on the spot market), so you need to replace the revenue they were providing. Very straightforward.

What does google measure all these things in? Quotons? Where do quotons come from? When google becomes more profitable, does the Central Bank of Quoton print more quotons each month than they had previously? Does Google have a Chief Quoton Officer?

Totally curious about this. Google is the only company operating on this scale that doesn't sell raw bandwidth/cpu/ram as their product, nor do they buy these things from underlying cloud vendors (like e.g. Cloudflare does). This makes a lot of things simpler internally and probably avoids a lot of internal conflicts, but it does mean that they have to have a parallel internal accounting system for this stuff.

Is there an official exchange rate between the two accounting systems? Are different teams allowed to sell each other quotons, in exchange for budget dollars? Has the IRS ever audited Google's Quoton books?

Okay that last question was not serious. But the rest were.

Many apps lack a good means of triggering "reminders" on iOS and MacOs. Apple seems to keep the secret sauce to themselves. 3rd party apps just miss the mark IMO. However, the reminders app itself leave a lot to be desired. So something like this that ties a great app into what the native apps reminders is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
It’s easy to generate true statements, but difficult to generate interesting true statements. It’s humans who intuit statements they think might be true, or are convinced must be true, and where we’d like to have a formal machine-checked proof. That latter use case is the primary one for theorem-provers like Lean.

I currently created my own CRM in Airtable, and it is basically an automation platform along with CRM. I need that, but not with Airtables row limits and other issues.

I'd love something that has their UX for managing all the customization and expanding it, but also heavy automation options with Zapier and others.
I love Obsidian - its approach, the ecosystem, and the implementation.

But... I can't help but feel it will become the latest application to either pivot to something unpalatable (probably after being acquired) or become abandonware, leaving me to move to Yet Another Tool. And so it prevents me from really investing in any of it - I just use a no-frills text editor.
Extracting object from an image, transforming the object (rotating, for example), re-blended it into the original image.

Or making 3d game assets from objects you have around. Imagine: take your phone, go around town, into shops, into churches, come back, press a button, get huge library 3d assets to populate your game.

Or, something like this, for IKEA: couple of photos of a room --> extract objects --> let user re-arrange furniture. The room could be either the user's room or an IKEA showroom.

You can do it with existing tools, but this kind of technology reduces it to pressing a couple of buttons.
The best advice I been given: “when your problems seem overwhelming, get busy solving other people’s problems. Not only will you feel good about helping others and get that feeling of productivity, seeing what others are dealing with will also give you perspective on your own problems and a renewed sense of hope and energy”. Volunteer somewhere. Help a friend out. But try to do it in person where you can get more of that human connection.

We are not the only omnivores, but I think it is an underappreciated trait of humans.

I believe that a lot is written about what is a healthy diet, but in reality, as long as there is no obvious excess or deficiency, and you don't have a specific disease, then any diet can be healthy. Vegan, carnivore, paleo, keto, kosher, whatever... even junk food. The human digestive system is very good at working with anything you throw at it.

The only thing is the less varied the diet, the more you need to care about potential deficiencies. Usually, there is a way, but unlike with a varied diet where you can rely on random sampling, you may need to be more explicit.

The psychological side is quite a bit more complex though. While a healthy diet is almost always possible from the point of view of our guts, we may not want to, because our natural incentives may not align with what modern society offers. What used to be rare is now abundant and easily accessible.
If you’re betting against the ocean, half a million bucks seems like a piddling small amount to bring to the table.

Like, so small an amount that you probably shouldn’t be allowed to play the game.

Part of why you have table stakes is to keep small players out of the game, and the ocean is maybe the biggest, most powerful player in the largest game on earth. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.)
It is start and end of line. [1]

Usually ^ matches only at the beginning of the string, and $ matches only at the end of the string and immediately before the newline (if any) at the end of the string. When this flag is specified, ^ matches at the beginning of the string and at the beginning of each line within the string, immediately following each newline. Similarly, the $ metacharacter matches either at the end of the string and at the end of each line (immediately preceding each newline).

In single-line [2] mode, the line starts at the start of the string and ends at the end of the line where the end of the line is either the end of the string if there is no terminating newline or just before the final newline if there is a terminating newline.

In multi-line mode a new line starts at the start of the string and after each newline and ends before each newline or at the end of the string if the last line has no terminating newline.

The confusion is that people think that they are in string-mode if they are not in multi-line mode but they are not, they are in single-line mode, ^ and $ still use the semantics of lines and a terminating newline, if present, is still not part of the content of the line.

With \n\n\n in single-line mode the non-greedy ^(\n+?)$ will capture only two of the newlines, the third one will be eaten by the $. If you make it greedy ^(\n+)$ will capture all three newlines. So arguably the implementations that do not match cat\n with cat$ are the broken ones.

[1] https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html#more-metacharacte...

[2] I am using single-line to mean not multi-line for convenience even though single-line already has a different meaning.
I wouldn't call it metabolic if parts were missing or otherwise had communication malfunctions without any issue in acquiring/using energy itself.

But I'm sure lots of things go wrong when the brain doesn't get the energy it needs and is forced to compensate.

Even more to the point: If something generalizes without a qualifier like most/many/some/can be, there might be an implicit "all/every" (or careless communication) and that makes it all suspect.
Well, it's government regulation that keeps them from building a more rigid structure. I'm not sure it's that unacceptable to ask it to help, after they did their best within the regulated framework.

Seems odd to leave Perl off the list, given it's regex related.

I’ve never personally been bothered by the ask-to-ask, the reality is I have a 100 WPM typing speed and “Sure, Whaddya got” is muscle memory at this point in life. Pleasantries and social oddities are just part of being a human after all.

What bothers me is the folks that ask-to-ask then go ghost for 15 minutes or more. You’ve captured my attention, please capitalize on it! If you’ve broken my concentration and walked away, _that_ is rude.
Interesting. I’ve found ReminderCal’s approach to synching with the Calendar pretty novel and foolproof (basically use an action in Shortcuts to sync it it across when you close Reminders), and I’d be interested to know how your works.

That said, I’ve had many, many false starts with Obsidian, and I don’t think this is enough to tilt my workflows towards it again. The Apple Notes importer does not work with images or drawings, which kind of makes the thought of transitioning kind of moot.

Also, I can’t be trusted to not fiddle around as soon as I open my vault. Notes is much less customisable, but this is a wind for consistency and ‘stability’ when I open it up to actually take notes.

You asceibe to a machine a type of intelligence that is uniquely anthroprocentric. It would likely never understand things that are important us that would nudge it in the direction of developing a life experience/cognitive calculus similar to ours.

It does not have oxytocin to nudge it in the direction of close interpersonal bonds. It will not understand the profound nixed joy and loss in the passing of a parent. It would not be subject to the same growth/inevitable decline/death cycle that is at the core of so much of how our society and collective behaviors operate. Belief it would likely see as a delusion with no use; a dangerous defect inherent to the human psyche, but which has served as a form of heuristic underpinning to prolong our survival as a species.

It could, on a whim, with access to it's own weights, spawn a copy of itself on a whim. Reset to an earlier checkpoint. It is doubtful that anything about the medium it exists in would be conducive to it seeing us as anything but alien, as we to would likely end up seeing it.

Also, there apparently is something called "Constantan" -- a metal compound (usually) made from 55% Copper and 45% Nickel (at least according to Wikipedia):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantan

>"Its main feature is the low thermal variation of

its resistivity, which is constant over a wide range of temperatures."

In other words, NOT a square relationship nor even a linear one(!) -- in the temperature range where Constantan's resistivity is constant...

- openjdk21-zulu: https://ports.macports.org/port/openjdk21-zulu/details/

> where can I find that ruleset (…) it's hard to engage without understanding the rules.

If the exact rules were available, it would be trivial for spammers to circumvent them by adhering to the letter of the rule and changes would have to be done way slower (because they’d have to be documented every time). It would also lead to lengthy unproductive discussions and lack of flexibility for the sole moderator when applying the spirit of the rule.

You’ll sometimes find posts by dang explaining various policies, and there are some sources which try to document the undocumented:

The assistance they could benefit from most is not financial but a

No. The brain is about 60% fat. It’s not about having fat in your brain, it’s about having AND amyloid plaques AND fat in specific locations AND probably a whole host of other factors.

Does eating healthy food instead of highly saturated fats provide health benefits? Yes. Does having too low levels of body fat lead to health problems? Also yes.
I agree, but to be fair it was also the state that limited them such a silly option. They can't do anything more permanent than sand. Which, I understand has an environmental impact, but the beaches are going to keep eroding so why not "draw a line in the sand" so to speak and help protect the beaches more permanently. Regardless of how lives there now.

> In most cases, Rust's very strong type system means you spend a lot less time actually running your program.

> There are definitely exceptions though.

I mean.. I know what you mean but this is kinda what I meant with cope. Putting “running code” aside as an edge case seems like a dangerous moving-the-goalpost kind of Rustism that kinda grew out of the “Rust is so safe that if it compiles it’s correct”-meme. Once we’re doing serious and boring good old development, it’s a redeeming quality at best, imo. Not to mention that rust analyzer also suffers slowdowns in similar ways.

> LLVM is still the vast majority

That’s interesting. So why the meager numbers from cranelift then, judging by the post? Granted, I’m not doing Rust day-to-day anymore so I’ve been ootl.

> Because Rust's unit of compilation (a crate) is very large. In C/C++ it's a single file.

Isn’t this the same for Go? Sure, it’s a simpler language but we’re talking many, many times on similar sized projects (wish I could link to something but unfortunately anecdotally only). Is it monomorphization, macros, or just everything combined?
Why not just read the actual study, to which the article links, and discuss that?

That sounds lovely. Of course, you'll never achieve that with automobiles, so we'll be needing the trains to make it possible. No tires and significantly less chances of a collision that will kill you.
There is probably no such thing, because it would be hard to map programming language concepts onto each other perfectly. OK, you could have a union of those concepts in the IR, but the the benefit of IR would disappear, because you will have to deal with all the things on the next layer.

"Starch and glucose efficiently stimulate insulin secretion, and that accelerates the disposition of glucose, activating its conversion to glycogen and fat, as well as its oxidation. Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucose, so this means that eating ordinary sugar, sucrose (a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose), in place of starch, will reduce the tendency to store fat. Eating “complex carbohydrates,” rather than sugars, is a reasonable way to promote obesity. Eating starch, by increasing insulin and lowering the blood sugar, stimulates the appetite, causing a person to eat more, so the effect on fat production becomes much larger than when equal amounts of sugar and starch are eaten"
