Incidentally, Vannevar Bush's Oral History 14-part document https://archivesspace.mit.edu/repositories/2/resources/687 seems to have served as an early experiment in prototyping hypertext. It has lots of [X-Ref] items throughout that refer to other relevant parts of the (1000+ page) oral history. I'm not aware of that being a common documentation practice at the time, so I see it as an intentional prototype effort on his part.

I don't really get why people have problems using Google for recipes anyway. Just search for recipes on BBC good food. They have recipes for everything, lots of ratings from real people; the highly rated recipes are really good.

Here's an example:

Humanity has come so far and I'm sure it's possible to do it. I'm not saying wealth and power are bad. The ways of getting them are what's causing this. If you can become a billionaire by focussing on starvation, that could be a good one.

Today you are incentivised to get rich by making a technological innovation like Facebook. Facebook is a great money making business idea, however is it a life saver as much as solving clean water? I guess not. Unfortunately, we prioritised and incentivised the business models of Facebook and that's where we are.

FYI, I'm not picking on Facebook, it could be any big company today.

Sorry, it's three in the (sunday) morning, and I've been hitting the whysky trying to handle the estabilshment journalists having fun, while other journalists are talking about humans struggling to get water while themselves being asked if they will survive the night. ---I'm not at my best.

You're right to call me on my statement; I should have all my notes on hand to make that claim and I don't. Paah, no, I do:
ARMv7-M Architeture Reference Manual ...
Part A Application Level Architecture ...
...processor in Thread mode (vs. in Handler mode).

So ARM already has a lot of detail whereas the RISC-V architecture is trying to (has to?) start even more abstract, where code doesn't even have modes (no interrupts).

This all started a pandemic saturday morning, cup of coffee in hand, enthusiasm to read the "RISC-V Spec" and see what I could learn. Download. Confusion: it says "manual," did I get the right thing? ... Ok, yeah, that's what's on offer. Half an hour later, I'm actually pissed off, like actively angry. I'm reading this from the point of view of "what's the execution environment that I'll be working against?" and I'm getting hit with "unprivileged" which is just wrong. It turns out they are mixing up "the environment of general purpose programmers" with "the minimal that needs to be implemented"---it's a royal mess, they kindda give up on it in the middle. I'm angry about being asked to read this as "the product"; it's not even properly proof-edited. So I took my frustration and tried to figure out 'what would you do to make this better?'

The 'RISC-V' spec is trying to specify: [instructions], and what they do to the [architecture]. I don't know much about the details, but I have a notion that there was push back on writing this up as a 'state machine' and how each instruction might change that state. I assume Prof. Asanović had his own good reason to avoid framing things that way but he's yet to give us a good explantion of why. So probably he's right, I just don't know why.

So how could this be done?

I went to look at the history. The original x86 spec was tied to the chip they were trying to sell. PowerPC, MIPS, if I remember right, were not 'specified' in a clean way--none of them had the same challenge as RISC-V does, starting in pure execution environment mode. I went to read the infamous von Newmann writeup and got side-tracked by his virtural neurons but didn't find the right level of abstraction there either.

So, I'm sorry I can't really justify myself here, but this is all subtle and hard. From what I have found, I don't think anyone has faced the challenge that RISC-V faces, so I don't think we have a roadmap for the spec that RISC-V ought to have.

I’m liking pkgx over asdf as it can activate project tooling upon cd’ing into a project folder.

We are already doing that. A orbital mechanics maneuver used in deep space spaceflight called a gravity assist or slinghshot trades a cosmic object's kinetic energy to change a spacecraft's flight path. Since that takes a large amount of energy at the speeds spacecraft go, an equal amount of energy must get subtracted from that object. Of course, the same amount of energy that's very significant for a spacecraft is meaninglessly small for an object such as a natural satellite like the Moon or a planet as Jupiter. So if you slingshot around Jupiter you are altering Jupiter's orbit around the sun an almost infinitesimally small amount, but you are altering it.

But of course, the question was asking for a significantly altered orbit, which this most definitely isn't.

.. I run everything for a project in a container. Each project then matches perfectly the container actually used in production, so if it works there, it also works on my machine. I just volume mount the project folder into the container so I can't edit files from my IDE, and then pycharm has ok support for remote interpreters.

Other than being the cheapest & easiest to use, is Cloudflare doing a particular evil here?

As a webmaster I don’t want non-user traffic except search engines. It’s a waste of money and often entails security, privacy and commercial risk.

>as well this example which distinguishes between shallow-and-wide smoke tests with deep-and-narrow sanity tests.

I think this even is contradictory for what a lot of people think a "sanity test" means. A "test" may check that something is correct, where a sanity test would be a lower fidelity test that simply checks that something is not obviously wrong.

Or maybe you, having faced those challenges, next time your fingers hover over the keys to type "sanity" simply pick another, perhaps more descriptive word.
The fact this prize exists is admitting that no one has figured out a use for quantum computers.

I have heard this mentioned several times in the last decade or so : "The only thing a quantum computer definitively does better than a classical computer is simulating a quantum computer."

Whether this capability is useful is up in the air.

Note that in practice, classical computers are going to be better at factoring numbers for the foreseeable future.

The ems director publishes standing orders.

It is impossible to consult with the medical director, or even medical control, on all cases so you rely on protocols and standing orders to perform your duty.

I mean it all sounds fun but when you consider for example low-cost airlines in Europe (WizzAir, Ryanair) they’re really efficient without any of this, since their margins depend on it. Surprisingly their boarding isn’t as structured (only priority and then the rest) and they still only take around 30 mins total from first to last passengers being let through a gate in my experience. Their trick is probably some combination of motivated passengers, asking people to put stuff under the seat in from, remote stands that need a bus and flight attendants constantly announcing „please don’t block the aisle”.
This. My TOTP 2FA for Namecheap just stopped working one day, despite nothing changing. I was totally locked out. I got lucky and their support was helpful and we reset it after a few hours, but it made me realize that there is no way to be 100% safe.

Why was it ever a problem? Perhaps this is US issue, (in Russian and EU airports) everybody lines up first come, first board. Then the process is really fast. Everybody just takes their seat and that's it.

The landing wait is annoying but boarding is practically a non-issue.
> If you have a noble intent, you ask the webmaster for permission to use the data.

Is Marginalia opt in, then? Surely "not having a robots.txt" ("you didn't say no!") does not equal consent. And surely you could just ask all the webmasters you are scraping from for permission, since you have noble intent.

My point is that this is just hypocritical; you are placing the moral boundary right below what you are doing, while claiming moral superiority. If you ask others (e.g. anti-search Fediverse), they would think you are immoral too.

I was only vaguely aware of rtx, but after discussing this post at length with people online they've made me aware of the rebranding and the general capabilities of mise.

It sure is great, it is! However, like you, I tend to prefer minimalistic and predictable tools.

That's why I decided to add the small comment in the discussion section of the post, to be fair but also kind of clear that bloating the runtime manager that was supposed to help manage the bloated runtimes and package managers isn't a great idea.

Having said that, if the scope of mise stabilizes and it doesn't turn into a kitchen-sink kind of project, it sure seems sweet!

Genuine question: What kind of relevant data is this thing collecting?

I would guess the main value is in practicing the technological skills of sending a thing to the moon and maintaining connection with it.
The analogy here is that a website that is connected to the internet is considered "free to browse" just as a radio signal is "free to listen to".

The issue isn't listening or browsing (so long as it's not DoS-ing), it's what you do with that information and whether you have permission to use the information (copyright of the host / broadcaster) in the way that you are and in the way that was intended.

> Are those market participants willing to pay for that work, in cash or code? TANSTAAFL.

Is Ubuntu demanding they pay for that work in cash or code? Obviously not, since Ubuntu generally offers it for free. You think they do that out of the goodness of their hearts? I don't. I think they benefit from people using their software even for free, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Whatever that benefit is, they'll get less of it if people reject their software because Bluetooth sucks (for example). Suppose that gives them incentive to do something about it. Then what's the problem? Sounds like an efficient market interaction to me.

> I can't imagine that there is any meaningful overlap between people capable of polishing install wizards (UX-centric userspace applications) and dealing with BT (kernel code and plumbing daemons), so it's not really a trade.

Ubuntu pays developers. The more they pay one kind of developer the less they're able to pay other kinds of developers. So yeah. That really is a trade-off for Ubuntu.
It’s a piece in the popular press. People connect more with writing that is evocative rather than something that reads like a navel-gazing journal article or TPS report.
I'm still working on rewiring my brain and math. I was at the top of my primary classes until we moved; the new school was a year behind academically. We returned in 6 months, however, it was enough that I struggled with factoring some fractions and percentages because I missed the theory and the stress of moving.

My mind embraces set and fractal theory readily and spatial awareness is decent. For me, math is applied using abstract logic. I'm still have math-phobia
Ok, so I see the Zipcar system is set up quite differently to the car sharing I've used elsewhere.

Here, there are many more cars, but it's not possible to reserve far in advance. You can reserve for free for enough time to walk to the car (20 minutes?) or pay to reserve for longer.

The charge state is shown prominently.

Why is it based on the Conda ecosystem? Do you happen to know?

I assume it's for portability, but that sounds heavy.
Yeah. IMO, you don’t need to go very far into OS-level dependencies before it just makes more sense to use Docker. asdf et al can try to smooth the experience out all they want, and they certainly make things better, but unless your developer machines are REALLY standardised, it’s really building a castle on sand.
Great idea, added to my todo :)
If people are scared to buy because the price might drop even more, that means prices are still too high as a percentage of net worth. 60-80 years ago, nobody thought like this. You bought a place and didn't think twice about it. You wouldn't pay attention to the real estate market because there wasn't any point, housing wasn't 15-20x your annual after-tax income where one small mistake and 5 years of your life is down the drain. This obsession with price is a byproduct of high prices.

We need to rip this bandaid off and get it over with. There will be a temporary economic dip due to the wealth effect, but that painful transition only has to happen once.

Humming has all but mostly died within the IETF, and COVID played a notable part in killing it.

During the pandemic with all of the meetings being placed online, the video conferencing tooling messed around with different ways to recreate the hum and what is left today is something more akin to regular voting which sometimes can be janky and confusing with working group chairs having to iterate which option is an endorsement or rejection.

I don't think humming as a mechanism will be anything like it was five years ago, although physical attendance levels are (mostly) back and an on-going effort for remote participation to be more accessible - besides, the room humming isn't usually picked up well by the microphones. Unless it's fixed the working groups are going to be a little bit more awkward in getting consensus.

The "Pizza Meter"
How and why are difficult words. I mean, in some senses we don't even know why water is wet. My very limited understanding of the subject is that in supercritical water there are larger clumps of H2O molecules surrounding the isolated H+ and OH- ions and this affects the solvent behavior.

Note that the chemistry of supercritical water is something which is very hard to study -- needing to keep a sample under extreme conditions means that you can't probe it in many of the normal ways. My father did groundbreaking work in this area using Muon Spin Spectroscopy, because he could shoot a beam of muons into a sample which was otherwise inaccessible.

(Shameless plug: My father recently retired and wrote a book on the topic with two of his colleagues. If you search for "Muon Spin Spectroscopy Percival" you should find it in all the usual places.)
