Getting from scratch to new businesses, and the most complicated ones and succeeding is no luck. Rocket science and automotive are very complicated in their own ways, and competing against businesses with 100+ years of IP and experience.... If the Space shuttle and Apollo were so good they would still be in production, the Concord as well. I guess it has something to do with the reliability and % to have a crew survive the launch and also the cost. I kinda respect his legacy more than all those social networks/search engine/marketplace gurus.

There is nothing comparable to Microsoft Office.

I refuse to watch ads and would sooner change my lifestyle to exclude watching TV or youtube than watch ads. It is blatant psychological manipulation. Fortunately there are technological means to avoid ads and get to watch the things I want to watch, so I will continue to do that for now.

I like youtube premium because it is ethically correct to pay for the cost of the content I watch + a reasonable profit for everyone involved, and youtube manages to be a highly centralised location for everything I care about video wise and I spend about 20hrs a week of watch time. I'm not paying for a billion different services Disney, HBO, netflix, blah, blah just to watch maybe a few hrs of content a month on each (at most). The value proposition of all streaming services besides youtube premium is atrocious.
Wow. I did not expect that. Especially during WWII a LOT of oil must have been burned. I always thought that would have been the peak.

I fully expect to read the following copy in the next 18 months from a company backed by a certain Tolkien-loving investor:

"Introducing the Mauhúr-1 indoor drone from Curunír Defense. This quiet and nimble drone revolutionizes clandestine operations and urban warfare by bringing unparalleled combat situational awareness to all war fighters in the base scout configuration[1]. Enemy combatants will have nowhere to hide with the infrared loadout. It can also carry out offensive duty with 4 anti-personnel shaped charges.

1. Base model starts at $500,000"

This tech is cool as hell, it's too bad it a couple of steps towards the inevitable killbots. The other major milestone will be when drones can identity and turn door knobs...

Every two weeks a member of the UX research team would present a report of compiled feedback and, oh boy, did we ever hear about all things people hated about any UI changes.

Their complaints are typically completely valid, but there’s only so much we can do. We can’t just leave things alone because there’s always some new feature or ad product to work in. We UX designers did not choose what to work on any more than the developers chose what features to build.
Watch out, though. Plex metadata matching is not always reliable. One day my wife send me an angry text asking why I was adding porn to the Plex library. Turned out it decided to match a random movie (something innocuous like Jurassic Park) to some obscure Chinese adult film, complete with the expected cover art.

I've listened to their whole catalog and the only book I can remember getting more heat that it deserved was actually Freakonomics. While it has quite a lot of correctly pointed out issues, I find the book entertaining and informing enough that it should be read, while most the other hooks they review are indeed harmful, and not bacause of any DEI misalignment in general, but mostly because of pseudoscience. I don't remember ALL episodes of course.

I'm not sure they listened to the Freakonomics podcast either, because I find it as left leaning as possible for anyone that can consider themselves Capitalists.

Why have you locked off the easy complimentary answers: "women generally are smart enough to know running 100 miles at once isn't that useful" or "women on average have more important things to do". Nobody crows how men also have the largest Warhammer figurine collections and the largest trains sets due to sexism. Women just have different and generally more reasonable interests.

Why would someone trap themselves in an ideology which depends on believing that women are physically equal to men when men are obviously bigger, stronger, more insanely competitive and dedicated to meaningless status games. That's not necessarily a plus.

Also you still haven't really explained why "run X miles from A to B" is a tilted contest. Yet "swim Y miles from France to England" (an event I believe women are somewhat better at than men?) isn't.

The 224.0.0.0/4 multicast space could probably have been made smaller, at least down to a /8 if follow on standards had been written with that kind of size in mind from the beginning, but at this point that'd be like saying "We're going to change 10.0.0.0/8 into 10.0.0.0/16 to free up space everyone, let me know when you've all stopped using it. Thanks!". The space is already in sparse use in corporate networks around the world, you're not going to get everyone to just up and change internal networks to fit less sparsely. If it were that easy IPv6 adoption would be 100% instead of 45%.

240.0.0.0/4 could conceivably be assigned. It's not really in use as it was actually reserved for "future use" from the beginning. That said, if you want to use that space publicly in any reliably usable form you've still got to convince near the entire internet to update their stuff to support/allow it. On this front I'm actually kind of against opening it up even just for internal use as it'd just create another headache to check for and not be particularly reliable. For "extra internal space" 0.0.0.0/8 was in a similar situation and already opened up. If that's not enough for you then you desperately need to move on from IPv4 already.
Hm. Interesting proposition. Rye inherited email and URL data types from Rebol. I haven't done that much on them specifically, because they aren't that crucial to the design of the language dynamics, so their implementation certainly should be improved (ant thought about).

The idea of making them more general certainly makes sense. Rye is "end-user" focused so it would maybe still be called email. URI-s right now can have different schemes. Scheme defines the kind of url and Rye has generic functions that dispatch on the kind of first argument. So there is:

open file://readme.txt and open sqlite://db.s3db and open postgres://user@localhost/database "pwd" ...

%path/notes.txt is also Rebolism and it's a shorthand for file://path/notes.txt

Thank you. I will think about this

Yes this puts American companies at a disadvantage during the transition.

To the opposite point: the reply says "women are failing cause the event design is biased" and also "women could do perfectly well if not for society making them not play"

Which one is it. If society didn't hold back women, would they win or not? Arg 1 says no, arg 2 says yes.

If the event were fairly constructed, arg 1 says they'd win, arg 2 says they still wouldn't.

So you've identified two possible problems; if the first is true (events are inherently biased) that completely proves that social discrimination is irrelevant (because the event design is so sexist women can never win)

If the second is true (women only lose because society holds them back) then the claim that the events are inherently biased (enough to totally prevent female wins) has to be false because either they can or can't win ex social bias. Qed either claim being true forces the other to be false, the args are contradictory.

EDIT: yes, I may be falsely thinking point-wise rather than distributionally. Both of the factors you mention do push women out further in the distribution of placements

That's why we have to post individualistically and learn that everything is social, that solutions are societal. Your mom might never be able to self-host, and you might never be able to make the wine that you drink. That's fine, and that's why we share responsibilities as a group. Be the one that "knows how to do that king of things" for your group, host services for you, your mom, your friends... It's fun to do and a very good way to collectively re-appropriate our digital lives. You'll be the technical person, but all governance, directions, values can be decided collectively: that's what democratic societies are, after all. If you can't/don't want to be there 24/7, let the group know that it might break but maybe the group will decide that it's fine enough.

It's difficult to compare it directly to Elixir since Elixir is a production ready language built on top or Erlang VM. Elixir certainly has more solid runtime, as Rye is interpreted. But Rye probably has much more malleable runtime that you could maybe better structure and specialize around your problem.

Explain the nuclear fixation please.

The construction of new nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle in Georgia provides a real-world example to re-evaluate the costs associated with building nuclear power versus a combination of solar power and battery storage.

The Plant Vogtle expansion involved the construction of two new reactors, Units 3 and 4, which faced significant delays and cost overruns. Initially estimated to cost around $14 billion with an expected operational start in 2016, the project's expenses ballooned to over $30 billion, more than double the original estimate. This increase does not include an additional $3.68 billion paid by the original contractor, Westinghouse, to the owners after going bankrupt, which brings the total spending to more than $34 billion. The construction started in 2009, with Unit 3 reaching "initial criticality" in 2023, marking the beginning of a self-sustaining nuclear fission reaction. Unit 3 is expected to come into service in mid-2023, with Unit 4 following in late 2023 or early 2024 [1](https://www.gpb.org/news/2023/05/25/georgia-nuclear-rebirth-...) [2](https://www.gpb.org/news/2022/05/09/georgia-nuclear-plants-c...) [3](https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/nuclear/georgias-big-ne...).

- Nuclear (Vogtle): The total projected costs for the Vogtle expansion are nearing $35 billion for two reactors, providing a combined capacity of 2.2 GW. This translates to approximately $15.9 billion per GW.

- Solar + Megapack: the capital cost for solar power is around $1 billion per GW. Adding battery storage to match the continuous output capability of nuclear plants significantly affects the total cost. Tesla Megapack costs vary, but an estimate of around $200 million for 1 GWh of storage was given. The exact cost for solar plus Megapack to achieve comparable 24/7 output capacity as nuclear would depend on the required storage duration to offset the variability of solar generation.

The Vogtle project's cost overruns and delays highlight the financial risks associated with large-scale nuclear projects. The actual cost of Vogtle significantly exceeds initial projections, emphasizing the challenge of managing complex nuclear construction projects within budget and timeline expectations. In contrast, solar and battery storage projects, such as those utilizing Tesla's Megapack, offer faster deployment times and have seen decreasing costs over time. However, to achieve a continuous power supply similar to a 1 GW nuclear plant, substantial investment in storage would be necessary, potentially narrowing the cost difference.

Very beautiful. Could someone share a simple intuition how the infinite zoom works for computation? I'd imagine it is computing for only those pixels rendered on the screen, but cannot fully wrap what is happening (especially the smoothness here of the zooming in and out).
You’ve got the causality reversed. What “makes people angry” is what certain progressives believe and say and do. Co-opting the label “woke” just gives people a way to communicate about those ideas; it doesn’t create the anger.

Nor does it refer to a “boogeyman”—those ideas definitely exist and aren’t made up, regardless of what you choose to label them: https://web.archive.org/web/20211108155321/https://freddiede...
The red meat scare is ridiculous at this point.

Are women under 50 who are now getting breast cancer really getting it because women are eating more red meat now than 1990? I don't buy it.

Breast cancer is generally thought to be caused by excessively high estrogen levels. There are other environmental and dietary factors that contribute to increasing estrogen levels..eating a burger is not one of them.

Drew seems like a great guy, but he wasn't the one maintaining Redis when the relicense happened. There are non-Redis contributors who are trying to figure out what to do nest, and people keep peppering me (one of those contributors) about this fork.

No. It's just faith in modern crypto.
Yeah I found the same thing, does anyone have an explanation for that?
Two reasons:

1. The queue is 4 bytes long, which fits neatly in a two bit counter. You would have to switch to a three bit counter to store the 5th state, which increases the area and power usage by ~50%

2. The MT signal is explictly needed to stall the execution unit when the prefetch queue is empty. If you replaced the flag register with a 5th state of the queue counter, then you would still need combination logic to generate the MT signal (queue[0] != 1 || queue[1] != 1 || queue[2] != 1)

I'm guessing this two bit counter + MT flag scheme is actually optimal from a transistor count perspective.
