I'm clearly not articulating my point well. Obviously the idea is to "disrupt" the academic publication and review process, but this discussion seems to be focusing on the probably the easiest part - making and hosting the documents.

> Next, in a separate process some institution could select important works, scrutinize and review them

This is basically what happens now. Pre-prints are for things that aren't necessarily ready yet (hence the "pre") but cooked enough to review and discuss and build on. The formal publication process takes some percentage of them (depending on server, could be quite small) and works through a publication process.

Currently that is mostly done by for-profit journals organizing the work. If you want to propose.

So what you are suggesting is that we do away with that (fine!) and replace it with --- something handwavy (not fine). There has to be some real proposed mechanism of organizing the work that needs to be done that a) doesnt' waste even more time of the limited pool of people who can and will do a reasonable job of reviewing, even worse editing, does at least as good a job filtering out the large amount of noise to find signal, and is at least as robust against manipulation.

For what it's worth, many of your arguments about the lack of efficacy of the system or other flaws don't seem to me to capture how much worse it could be. Best not lose track of that in trying to make it better....
> Governments of any shape are unable to accurately pick which industry to allow or prevent.

i would say that some gov'ts in the world does do this - famously the chinese CCP.

They dictate by providing state funding for industries they deem important (for whatever reason - geopolitically strategic, military, or welfare, etc). Whether it's the most "efficient" form of capital allocation is irrelevant (for them).

The people do not have a say, and in fact, cannot be doing any form of criticism - they may have feedback, but only in so far as the party allows said feedback. It's implicit that the CCP is picking for the "greater good" - but who is the judge of that? CCP itself is!

So by an act of tautology, they are doing it most efficiently!

Pervasive environmental chemicals impair oligodendrocyte development
It’s not just the exercise but enjoyment of the outdoors and nature.
I was under the impression it was bust, but it is super good to know it isn't.
I completely forgot about that. I never directly worked on the audio side but I did hear a little from others and the relief that came with the Xbox and caching audio on the HDD. It essentially cut-down on a lot of those issues. And by the next generation, it was only the Wii that you still had to kind of worry about that stuff.
I think that the Javascript ecosystem holds up pretty well. Especially considering the constraints in that area (e.g. that developers don't get to choose which runtime their frontend code run on).

I also think that having a lot of libraries and frameworks to choose from is a good thing, not a bad thing. This is perhaps influenced by working in languages that have much smaller ecosystems.
Seems geographically split, but I wonder what is the actual population split is. Most of the top 10 population countries use the decimal separator. Only Brazil, Russia and Indonesia don't.

Maybe someone with a CSV of the world populations and a CSV of the countries broken down by their separator can do that comparison.
Mainly because lasers always work. You can ignore one for a year, then turn it on to print something and it’ll greet you like a Labrador retriever seeing you get home from work.

I’ve never had that experience with any inkjet, however expensive. If I don’t use one for several months, it’s always a flip of the coin whether it’ll work without draining half the tank in self-cleaning cycles.

Lasers are just vastly more reliable than inkjets. I can always count on my laser waking up and printing before falling back into a coma. I can’t trust any inkjet.
It's going to be very language/framework dependent.

Yes, that is an issue and should be corrected. Every monetary penalty should also contribute towards license revocation.

I used to think I needed an inkjet, but I switched to a brother laser B/W printer years ago (mainly because of the linux compatibility), and in that time, I've only wished to print a color photo ... oh wait, never!
I ended up getting an Epson EcoTank printer (ET-4850). Specifications claim to have 7500 page (black) and 6000 page (cym) yields, which is around what I would expect for a similarly priced monochrome laser printer. The ink itself costs about 1/2 of that for toner a similarly priced monochrome laser printer (black only, verses all four bottles). Colour lasers are more expensive for supplies.

Would I recommend it? No idea. I'm still new to the inkjet printer market. I'm sure hiccups will pop up along the way. On the other hand: it works in Linux, is quiet, and the lights don't dim when it comes to life. (It is also worth mentioning that it is more of a document printer than a photo printer.)
Or how many Blondie movies there are? No Googling!
Spent the afternoon formatting a 128GB USB stick (only thing on hand >32GB) to FAT32 via the format command on one of my Windows machines to see what it'll do, and indeed it failed at the end saying the volume is "too large". So wherever the logic is, I agree it's deeper than the interface Dave wrote.

To give benefit of the doubt, though, Dave didn't say he wrote that logic into the interface. Just that he had to "decide on the cluster slack", which clearly was written by someone (which could be him, this wasn't specified) at a deeper level of the operating system. It's also worth noting that Dave's interface doesn't even give the option to format with FAT32 in the first place, at least with my 128GB USB stick.

So I find nothing wrong with his statement. He wrote the interface, a temporary one which ended up being permanent. He also played the role (or at least a role) in deciding the arbitrary 32GB FAT32 volume size limit.

As for SoftwareOnline.com, that's also mentioned on Dave's Wikipedia article so it's not something hidden away. Anyone so inclined to research his character will see it.

With regards to your vendetta against him regarding his past conduct, it is unwarranted: He settled with Washington state and paid penalties, he returned refunds as requested; the case is closed. If you're going to keep bothering him over that, it's you who is wrong.

If everyone pays, the fixed costs are amortised across everyone. (Also, it’s hidden in the purchase price.) That lowers the aggregate barrier to entry.

Cool. Forget Jira though, think more "thehive" which is opensource (implemented it once myself). There may also be cortex responders you can copy+adapt.if you won't have good commercial support soon, your audience is people using thehive. IR case management has needs like evidence collection and reporting (mitre integration usually). Best of luck. Glad someone is doing this.
This is the entirety of the text which was added to the AGPL causing it to differ from the plain GPL:

> Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
following paragraph.

In other words, if you deploy a modified version of Citus, your modified version is AGPL licensed, and thus you must provide the source code of this modified version to all users who interact with it remotely (e.g. through your web application).

What it does not state is that you must provide the source code of your entire web application just because you deployed a modified version of Citus, nor that your web application becomes an AGPL-licensed derived work of Citus because you used it over a network. The AGPL also does not require anything at all from you other than the plain GPL's basic requirements if the version of Citus you deploy is unmodified. (These are all incredibly common misconceptions on the internet, by people who've never read the license nor the GNU website.)

Back in middle school, like 1981-ish I had this hardback book with a title of something like "A Shocking Story". The inside was hollowed out to hold about the same but it was rigged to go off when you opened the book. It got confiscated.
> Google Protobuf is a lot closer than Parquet or Avro. But Protobuf is not a splitable format, which means it is not Big Data friendly, unlike Parquet, Avro and CSV.

Eh, I don't think that's the problem. If that was the problem, there are a zillion ways to chunk files; .tar is probably the most ubiquitous but there are others.

The bigger problem is that Protobuf is way harder to use. Part of the reason CSV is underspecified is it's simple enough it feels, at first glance, like it doesn't need specification. Protobuf has enough dark corners that I definitely don't know all of it, despite having used it pretty extensively.

I think Unicode Separated Values (USV) is a much better alternative and as another poster mentioned, I hope it takes off.
Hah! The same thing can happen in Washington!

I was pulled over for something, actually it might just have been this.

"Your license isn't valid." What? Why is it suspended?

"It's not suspended, it's just not valid."

What the hell does that mean?

"You'll have to talk to the DOL. And you can't drive your vehicle from here."

I'm meant to be working the next night, so I need to figure this out.

Go to the DOL's website. It literally says my license is valid, in bold green letters. Huh. For fun, I click on "Pay any amounts owed (citations, infractions, etc.)". "There are no amounts owed on your license."

I take print outs of both of these, and am at the DOL when it opens the next morning.

Similar to you. I paid, in person, by check, a fine a few years prior. Because it wasn't "processed" til after midnight, my license was suspended, but unsuspended the same (next) day. But (and I'm not sure how this is justified) there was a fee attached to removing the suspension (that I didn't know about), so my license was "invalidated".

To their credit, at least, the lady at the DOL was very sympathetic. She stamped all my print outs with a DOL stamp, and then all the print outs of the process to revalidate my license (to try to support my case, that there was no way I could have known this, as the DOL's own website tells me my license is valid and is not subject to any restriction).

Went to court to contest the "driving without a valid license". Still took me 20 minutes of repeating, several times over, to the prosecutor this whole flow, the first fifteen minutes of which he was insistent that none of my paperwork mattered because "they would have sent you a letter, so you must have known", before finally capitulating and dropping it.
I agree that Rome built her roads for her military, and her military benefited from them.

However, I am not sure that Rome mobilised an unusually large proportion of their population. For the longest time, Romans were better at warfare than most of their neighbours, but I'm not sure they actually did more of it.

Their neighbours weren't as organised, and not as organised on as large a scale; but they perhaps mobilised just as much?

When everything is scoped dynamically, it is indeed a problem. If you only have a handful of things with a clear syntactic mechanism to indicate when they are being used? Much clearer.

I impkemented a slow version of contexts in Smalltalk, just to see how bad it was. Where it shone was in places where you can't pass a context as an arg (eg. binary math operators) either for compatibility reasons or because passing the context would be too noisy.
So I found a copy of the letter that I wrote and it was just addressed to “Your Honor” and I physically dropped off the letter at the court in person to the front desk.

I have no idea what you can do it for but it worked for my problem at least.
Does this distinguish white backgrounds from transparent backgrounds? For example, a graph consisting of anything-on-white should probably be inverted, while a graph consisting of pure red on transparent should probably not be inverted. For the latter, increasing the luminance (i.e. make it pink on transparent) might be best, followed by leaving it as-is, followed by inverting.

But I guess with ML reinforced by human feedback, trends like this manifest without having to explicitly handle them as special cases at all...

> As long as you don't go out of your way to write bad async code

I've seen the light of async Rust and I believe (heh, sorry for the semi-flippant sarcastic remark here but I do genuinely love it when I do things right with async Rust) but I feel that writing bad async code is also not something that the compiler will actively dissuade you from. It goes to certain lengths but not quite far enough IMO.

I didn't want to do it but at one point I started reading how is async implemented and that actually lifted a big part of the mystical veil and helped me understand it better. Now if I can also completely internalize the lifetime semantics combined with async I'd be very proud of myself. (But it doesn't help that I am not working with Rust currently.)

Increasing density generally increases existing home values more than not doing that; the land becomes more valuable (for free!) if more houses can be sold on top of it, and that's almost always worth more than having renters nearby.

The more common reason people vote against it is because they want their neighborhood to be frozen in time at the precise moment they moved there; that's what they originally chose after all. And they don't want to be forced to look at anything with a FAR above 0.4, and even that much is questionable.
Even at that, there are edge cases like when a python package like Tensorflow uses a instruction set that is not available on a Arm machine.

> are you browsing the web in 2024 with javascript disabled?

I use uMatrix to disable most Javascript by default, and enable sources one-by-one if necessary for a web app. There’s no need to use Javascript on a blog post, certainly not to dynamically load in HTML text and images, so I generally don’t even bother to enable it, and just hit the back button.

The way I look at it is, a web interaction is a conversation: my browser asks a server for a resource, and the server returns it. This makes sense for static HTML: ‘server, please send me this blog post’; ‘sure, here you go, and here are some images or fonts or whatever to make it prettier.’ This, OTOH, feels just wrong: ‘server, please send me this blog post’; ‘sure, here is this list of instructions for you to follow to assemble to blog post.’

Web apps are fine, Javascript is fine for that. Forcing the use of Javascript to do what HTML already can do natively is just wrong.

Huh. This is neat.

As a side, I have a great frustration balancing dark mode with other things. I use flux on my Mac, not for color temp but strictly for the "darkroom" mode which inverts everything and makes the (inverted) brightness values into red. I only do this when coding at night, to help with my sleep... but the trouble is it's made for people who use light mode during the day. I use dark mode all day. So I have to get out of dark mode and change my vscode theme to light in order for it to work. Not a huge deal, but then I open up some web page with a black background and go blind from all the red.
