Gutenberg cannot do what I needed it to do when I setup new theme based on Blocks. The UI is incredibly confusing and counterintuitive.

A devcent web designer could setup an html theme and skin it with CSS. I really tried hard to theme with this system, but I gave up about a year ago. Can’t be bothered, it seems actively hostile to people developing WP themes.
What does "Google style reaction" mean in this context?

In the US, price per square foot is an important metric for appraisal. If the appraiser puts too low a price on the house, the buyer can't get a loan. Therefore if you are building in the US to sell the house, then you will maximize the square feet to maximize the appraised value.

In addition, it is relatively rare in the US for an individual owner to commission a custom house to be built. Particularly in the more populated areas, it is more overhead to build one house vs several houses, so people buying new houses are typically buying a new house in a development with mostly cosmetic differences as their only choices.

Dark matter and dark energy is a gap in knowledge and should not be presented like a fact, but as a temporary constant added to human models of universe to make them actually work.

It is like a boy calculating physics homework, only to be 30% off, so he will add some constant to get to result he wants. It sounds ridiculous, does it? Well dark matter/energy is that constant to get result we expect.

Those things are not equivalent.

But schools typically teach these things as a "theory part" and as "practice/application part" (for example by "syncing/sequencing" courses if possible) which helps with both relevance and "getting it".
That's exactly how I like to see LLMs. They are NLUIs, Natural Language User Interfaces.
That sucks. I cant imagine trying to work a job and do a phd at the dame time. That would take out any joy of it for me.

I can definitely see a lot of utility depending on what you do research in. I bet a lot of ML doctoretes are making big bucks, but that's relatively niche.

> Sloppiness /is/ Unix design, that's intentional. It's called "worse is better".

That's missing the point. It's about simplicity through well designed abstraction. Unix was a runaway game engine that became Bell Lab's standard for talking to computers because it was vastly simpler than the poorly engineered MULTICS and friends. That's why it won.

> On the other hand, nobody uses Plan9

I use Plan 9 every day. I'm replying to you from inside abaco. I run a tablet with it, have a whole network of machines (most of them virtual). I'm in the middle of a project to create a light fixture I can talk to in 9p. It's not the first DIY IoT thing I've made to control over a Plan 9 terminal. My grid also runs my email, my file servers, an LLM chatbot (though this is actually served from a Linux machine via Inferno tsk tsk.) The only reason I use anything else is due to my job requiring me to ship a product in C++ and OpenGL. For something that doesn't "actually work", I find that it actually works excellently.

I personally view video games as the penultimate story telling medium humanity has devised.
Sure, gameplay and mechanics and all this other stuff is cool, but the ability to tell a story where you ARE the main character, you have control over their actions and you are in a sequence as it unfolds is breathtaking.

VR games in some instances doubly so. Playing Half Life Alyx was almost a spiritual experience, I can close my eyes and remember the alleyways of the city.
I love the idea but I'm not quite sure what it has to do with the grid.

But then again, I don't really understand CSS grids at all, flexbox seems to be able to handle most of it.

Having it as a flex wrap mode would make sense to me, but I suspect it will just wind up as a grid option, which is fine, I'm just glad this feature exists at all.
Intend and purpose? I mean, it sounds so very subjective with no link to research that it matters that much assuming it’s good enough in the first place.

Sure, DIN or the typefaces used at the airport to guide pilots are extremely legible, and less ambiguous in their context.
But the difference between Fraktur and SF Pro is much bigger than between SF Pro and DIN for example. Plus, being on hundreds of millions of devices made it common so people got used to it.

Reminds me of the difference between Kai and Song font types in Chinese.

Is there any research with a graph of legibility over fonts? Any idea where the point of diminishing return is for different activities?

I do like a good programming font, but if I’m honest with myself, as long as the foundation is right, most differences are to accommodate one’s taste. I’ve yet to found a case where there was a bug because my font threw me off, or something.

Side note: I recall the first time I read digits written in the English style, and got tripped because the 7 looks like a 1 in my culture, because we all add a little horizontal bar in the middle. You can used to it, but on hand written notes, nobody would write an English 7, yet virtually all computer fonts only offer one version of it (Berkeley Mono offers both, in a mono space font!)
Can you recommend any specific formulations or brands?
I'm about 25 years into my professional career too. Can't disagree much with this. I'd add: prioritise both mental and physical health, and relationships.

Consistent healthy sleep patterns (please don't blog at 4am like the author), seeing a therapist, try and get outside and see some nature (that can be just pigeons in a park if you're in a city), for 30-60 minutes a day. It all makes a huge, huge difference in your ability to learn, to work, and to love back those people in your life who love you.

Here in the UK the minimum wage act was introduced in 1998.

It was sold to the public as a way to stop employers abusing employees by under paying them and to prevent slave wages.

Constantly stating the so called "sweat shops" (the clothing manufacturing factories) in the north of England employing foreign and illegal workers and paying them a poultry £2 per hour.

What really happened was this:

Early on it was quite clear that the act was developed for the benefit of employers to reduce their overall wage budget and not to help employees by paying them more.

Large companies started to get rid of staff who were being paid a decent liveable wage only to re-employ new staff on the minimum wage. Early retirement was another way to get swathes of people out and employ more and more people on mimimum wages.

Right across the board from building site workers to Airline staff. No job was safe.

Minimum wage!

We as a company will pay you the minimum wage which is preset through our intensive lobbying of government to continue with our vast profits for shareholders.

In the Oxford dictionary the word "Employ" means "to use".

I would like to get Matt Mullenweg thoughts on this subject, because it's a real problem with what WordPress is doing and the direction it is trying to take.

For the last couple of years, the development of the Block Editor and the Block Theme experience has seriously stagnated. ThemeForest, a popular WordPress theme marketplace, literally has less than 0.01% of Block Themes published on it.

Because if you want to use a theme based on Blocks, it means that you have to change your entire website's theme and its structure. You basically have to start from zero. It's almost as if there are two versions of WordPress being run at the moment (Classic and Block), and while everyone remains on Classic, the developers keep pushing for Blocks.

Blocks and Block Themes might be easier to work with for a modern developer, but the Editor is far from being "stable" and very few theme developers/designers are even interested in publishing themes for it. After this long of a period (WordPress 5.0 with Gutenberg merged into it was launched in early December 2018), WordPress is still failing to capture the attention of its users.

The Gutenberg Editor experience is alright, I guess. It still has its quirks and performance problems, but for designing individual blog posts it's not terrible. It's the whole "everything needs to be blocks, but only if you start from scratch" approach that is damaging the community.
All credit goes to the original creator, I just posted the link :-)

That's an apples to oranges comparison. Weather is not climate. Meteorology is not climatology.

Obviously, meteorology doesn't work over a 50-100 years time frame -- "What's the temperature on January 20th 2064 and 9PM" is an impossible question to answer. But climatologists are not attempting to answer the same question as meteorologists. They're studying a much easier variable to predict, which is averages of phenomena, where all the short-term complicated meteorological noise cancels itself out due to the law of large numbers.
Vector math on raw floating point that is. If you want to wrap that float in a type to force (physical) dimensional consistency, you are going to have a bad time.

All other things being equal, an expansion of housing stock which tracked population growth would keep prices steady.

The big shift is immigration expanding the pool of working-age people, and longer lifespans increasing the time it takes for family homes to be released back onto the market. People having fewer kids now self-evidently does not affect housing demand (except perhaps to reduce square footage needed per working person)
Take away the tourists and they have no economy and no jobs. They’re between a rock and a hard place. The government needs to figure out a way that the locals can capture more of the value tourists bring.

> periods in which the intensity of the magnetic field wanes and the dipole (or two magnetic poles) that we're familiar with can disappear, replaced with multiple magnetic poles

If this was a basis of a movie plot I would think how stupid the movie is. Apparently it was normal for earth to have more than two magnetic poles before earth core started to solidify [0]. Was earth core composed of multiple elements where each had two magnetic poles?

It's not holding but using, but remittances (or in general, money transfers between places where at least one end isn't well connected to the international banking system) are one use case.

Instead of finding a company active on both ends (which will have to be a major company like Western Union, with major fees), you can find two separate (potentially local and small, think "coner store money exchanger") entities to get fiat (regular) currency into Bitcoin on one end and out of Bitcoin on the other end. If there is no single company that does business at both your source and destination location/community, there's a good chance you're out of luck.

You have to trust those two exchangers to not defraud you, but these two don't need to trust, or even know, each other.

Of course, other cryptocurrencies, stablecoins etc. would also work for this, but network effect means Bitcoin is the coin where you're most likely to find participants on both ends.

I think the author is just trying to say that the reason TempleOS didn’t receive widespread—or virtually any—regular use has more to do with its lack of inherent utility to most people, rather than a conspiracy to suppress its adoption as Terry apparently believed.
I'm a medical professional and I read medical journals regularly. Abbreviations and acronyms are a scourge, a single article can have dozens of cryptic abbreviated names. There's a good chance some are used that I don't immediately recognize and decipher. Some journals print a list of the articles abbreviated forms along with the "long" form which is quite helpful.

Of course, authors are supposed to given the long form and abbreviated form in parentheses. The trouble is in printed journals it can be difficult to find the first use of the abbreviation. Fortunately viewing articles in an electronic medium it's usually possible to do a search which is a real time-saver.

Furthermore, an abbreviation can have multiple meanings, especially across disciplines. For example, PSA can stand for prostate specific antigen, pressure-sensitive adhesive, public service announcement and probably some others too. Anyway I try to be mindful of the ambiguity abbreviations can produce. By all means, spelling out the term(s) abbreviations refer to should be considered mandatory.

Your links don't measure underutilised and vacant property (e.g. AirBnBs and second homes, or land banked properties).

From the links:

The homeowner vacancy rate is the proportion of the homeowner inventory that is vacant for sale.

The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory that is vacant for rent.

So essentially this is a measure of how many properties are vacant and available for rent or purchase.

Two things to watch out for concerning magnesium intake: phytic acid (in many non-sprouted grains) and oxalates (high in spinach).

Both of these components will bind to magnesium (and other minerals in the case of phytic acid) preventing your body from metabolizing them.

Maybe “an automated thing that moves to do stuff”. Generally there are manipulators and mobile robots like vacuums. An interesting edge case would be a CNC machine which has degrees of freedom similar to a pick and place robot but is seen as a whole static thing with moving parts. Also if the mobile platform transports people it’s usually not called robot.
> Take away the tourists and they have no economy and no jobs.

That's not strictly true, and it's (stopping all tourists) not what they're advocating.

A third of their GDP comes (directly) from tourism, which suggests some room to move (downwards) on tourist quotas, while still retaining a fair amount of revenue from that sector, but without jeopardising access to scarce resources (potable water, housing, etc).
> Gold mining provides a resource that is used to build other products.

Most use of gold is speculative as a store of value, some is decorative, and a little bit is actually used to build products.

> Bitcoin itself is not required for a transaction, any other form of currency could replace it.

Of course, for transactions. But people don't want to use national currencies as a store of value. For good reasons.

If we could replace gold with bitcoin as the store of value, it'd be a net positive.
I like scientists arguing

It should be a prerequisite to being and calling oneself a scientist.

If you shift a normal distribution to the right even a little bit, the frequency of tail events above a fixed threshold (in this case, wet bulb temperatures exceeding the human survivability limit of 35 degrees celcius) increases more than linearly.

This is especially an issue near the equator, which will lead to climate refugees seeking colder climates, north and south.
> I personally view video games as the penultimate story telling medium humanity has devised.

Improv is the penultimate storytelling form. You and one or more partners share a communication and world building protocol and write directly into a shared narrative in real time. You establish rules and explore mini microcosms together, almost without limit.

The cool thing is that with LLMs, improv is now starting to include AI agents in this exercise. See CodeMiko for a VTuber that improvs against LLMs regularly. That's hardly the only or even best example of this.

The future is going to be wild - multiple people writing into a shared persistent narrative world together. Visually and spatially, too.
