Ozone is still hole'ing[1]. The hole is no longer growing, sure, but that's a far fetch from "fixed".

The sky has been lighting up in North America too. I’ve heard reports of the aurora from New England and, here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s currently visible by naked eye and striking in long exposure shots. I always thought I would have to visit Alaska or Scandinavia to see the northern lights, never thought I could catch a glimpse so close to home.
I think the complaint is that there was no strategy. The dude just wanted to build some websites.

There is a standard, Sound Transmission Class [1]. STC-50 is generally considered to be a good level of sound isolation. I have no idea if houses are commonly constructed with a concern for this rating though.

A while ago, I developed a decibel meter designed like a traffic light for a preschool classroom. The device visually represents different noise levels by changing colors and can also be manually operated via IR remote. I've shared my project, along with several suggestions for its educational use in the classroom, on this here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/186425#profileId-205268

Measured by LOC, a lot of code in systems i've worked on is just copying data from one type of object to another. One frustrating bug I've dealt with was due to someone copying the wrong value between two similarly-named fields, but the request went through so many layers of the system before it was processed by the buggy code that it took hours to track down.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to write less of this code, and I think what I want is something similar to Postgrest, but with a mechanism for some sort of hook, where I can write some code to manipulate the request/data in a type-safe way.

The closest I've seen to this was early in my career - one of my first jobs was working at a WebObjects consultancy. Because WebObjects provided the full stack from HTML templating engine to ORM - and by that time also community-driven frontend libraries - you had to write very little of this type of code.

I suspect also that some of the resistance to the Postgrest-style approach in enterprise environments comes from tighter controls around data, and requirements/expectations for stricter change control around databases. Buggy code can always be rolled back, but a botched database change could be a much bigger problem. (Of course, the fact that buggy code could corrupt or delete data almost as easily is ignored in this calculation). I still remember weeks of meetings at one employer trying to get a column added with the ultimate answer being 'no'.
> I mean if it's strong enough to fry off-grid electronics then it's a different matter entirely

Last big storm in 2003 did damage grid level transformers. They also don’t just have those lying around and they’re quite expensive so it’s particularly devastating.

Much more complicated to answer, but no consumer electronics aren’t safe. Also not much use if the communication systems and electrical grid are down

> Personally I think we need to put cars underground

Nope, unless drivers foot the bill entirely. Tunnels are horrendously expensive to build and maintain. Projects like Boston's Big Dig cost billions of dollars, went over budget, and move a smaller number of people than a proper subway train system.

> without tunnels we'll be in traffic hell forever

Also nope. Adding more lanes just induces more traffic demand. We will never solve traffic by building more car infrastructure. We can only solve traffic indirectly - by mixing residential and commercial building, by making streets safe to walk and bike, and by building a world-class mass-transit system.
Moi? Fugly ain't so bad. Why? For the same reason no one steals fugly cars. For the same reason - in many but not all situations - it's not wise to keep your high-end camera in a high-end camera bag.

Fugly mitigates theft.

That said, I've been thinking about something that protects but can slide into a bag, backpack, briefcase, etc. My ideal case would also have thermal protection. As in I could leave it in the car for say an hour or two in the Winter and the hardware wouldn't get too cold.

Gall's Law speaks to this:

Every once in a while, some press or commercial tells me anything for me totally weird thing, like 'people forget to drink water' or 'people throw away all the is expired without checking it', I first think this is total bullshit, and then someone in my inner circle tells me the he does exactly this.

So no, you are not weird, but this people really exist, and I wouldn't wonder if they are the majority.
I tried to do this in a real program once. The program only ever runs for a fraction of a second and then exits, so it seemed like a good candidate. Unfortunately what happened after is that our company started running tools like Coverity which complained about leaked memory. The path of least resistance was to fix that by adding free()'s everywhere.

That’s the opposite of what I’m saying. Asking the LLM to justify something is possible but, imo, very boring.

What I’m complaining about is asking about their friend and they don’t believe they have a friend. They just fail to capture the apparent narrative that you’ve enjoyed because it’s not really close to whatever game logic they’re scripted to utilize

I don't see how you would define linearity in a ring (I don't mean a module, just a ring). I.e. D(af) = aD(f) doesn't make sense if you don't have scalar multiplication.

Was later adopted by IBM and Intel for their OS, although since it grew C++ levels of complexity, eventually split up in various dialects.

PL/S, PL/M, PL.8, PL/Something...

One of them, PL.8 is famously associated with being one of the first LLVM like compiler frameworks, used by IBM on their RISC research, before they pivot and created AIX for their RISC CPUs.

System languages like PL/I, BLISS, Modula-2, would have had a different adoption if UNIX wasn't basically free beer with a recipe on how to make it.
The ultimate sandbox is way less fun than a nicely curated sandbox
The naive implementation of range would have a range represented of a pairs of iterators, with every iterator containing a copy of each upstream range, which blows up quadratically; libstdc++ implementation is not implemented this way though: each range has one copy of the upstream range plus the predicate, while this could be optimized further for stateless predicates, the range growth should still be linear.

Yet, when I print the final size of the chained filter ranges and I saw it increasing superlinearly with the number of stages, so I must be missing something.

There is also additional wasted stack space for each temporary range. In theory the compiler should be able to optimize them away, but it probably doesn't always.

Wikipedia says:

In terms of the energies involved, the Oberth effect is more effective at higher speeds because at high speed the propellant has significant kinetic energy in addition to its chemical potential energy.[2]: 204 At higher speed the vehicle is able to employ the greater change (reduction) in kinetic energy of the propellant (as it is exhausted backward and hence at reduced speed and hence reduced kinetic energy) to generate a greater increase in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
For “good” meaning “we do all the sre/sysadmin stuff for you”. I am not sure it would apply for all the design decisions going in these things.

I think it speaks to how out of control many sre groups are that people willingly spend so much on tools to avoid them. This has real echoes of how the cloud got traction as a way to avoid internal IT.

Being lonely is so good. Thank you for reminding me yet again. People laugh when I tell them that I enjoy myself more than being with anyone.

There are a number of films: The Matrix, the original Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Avatar, I’m sure many others that were just so different and jaw-dropping in many ways when they first came out—in those cases because of effects of various types mostly—that it can be hard to appreciate their novelty at the time.

Old school 3D accelerators are so charming due to their simplicity. No multiple cores, no schedulers, no programable shaders, just a basic fixed length predictable geometry and texture pipeline made of of vector processors, that's it.

They were simple enough that the system integrators or board partners would actually be the ones writing the drivers for them as the company was just selling them the chips with the datasheets and manuals with instructions on how to interface with them via PCI and how to program them, that's it.

NVidia were famous for being the first to in-house the driver development themselves instead of their board partners which gave them the edge on driver quality and performance.
Ha. Stuff like this is entertaining but it is not what I would call good. It’s like the reality tv of anime. Cheap wish fulfillment fan service.

There have been some legit good series recently that play with these fantasy genres, have solid writing and animation.

* Friern: Beyond Journey’s End - an extremely sentimental coming of age tale that explorers children raising parents, loyalty, and platonic love.

* Delicious in Dungeon - a really silly story that subverts the dungeon crawling genre by crossing over with the food/cooking genre and playing with all kinds of genre/tropes.

* Pluto - a classic scifi morality tale on what it means to be human. This series tried really hard to be a modern Ghost in the Shell. It was successful in some ways and fell flat in others. Definitely worth watching though.

There are lots of entertaining anime out now, but so little of it is well made or written. Maybe that’s ok though. I still watch lots of the low quality stuff because it’s like popcorn/candy and is easy to watch.
Akira is a cult classic and a pivotal point in anime - much more in the US than in Japan. If you don't know of a film surpassing it in skill and consideration in the thirty years since it was made it probably says more about your exposure to anime. Maybe it's just that Cyberpunk is less popular now and the big genres are of less interest to you.
I've never seen that one. Made me think about the claim that all ants weigh more than all humans. Looks like it may or may not be the case exactly, but ants are at least a significant missing part of the picture.

No, trends can be broken.
The thing that resonated in this article was “how happy it made people” to help them automate stuff.

A friend runs an email/CRM agency in the entertainment industry. She does the creative stuff - story telling, crafting nicely put together emails to keep fans updated and sell tickets and merch etc.

She was talking to me about how much time she spend pulling together reports for clients - how many people received, opened, clicked, the revenue the campaign generated. She does this on a 24 hour, 72 hour, 7 day, 14 day and 30 day reporting window. So each campaign needs five reports creating. It was ruining her life - “I set timers so that I don’t miss the crucial 24 window but sometimes that means getting up at 6am to grab the data”.

She was doing this MANUALLY. I showed her how she could use an automation tool to create a dashboard in a Google sheet, do a little bit of data wrangling, automatically update on the reporting cycle, create a PDF and automatically email the client the dashboard link and PDF.

She’s a smart woman, she’s got a successful business. But she didn’t even realise any of this was possible.

It took me two hours to walk her through how to set things up. She has since built a bunch of other automations herself.

The problem was she had no idea it was possible and even if she had she wouldn’t have known where to get started because the terminology around the automation tools is obscure and knowing which parts of which API to query requires understanding API documentation.

Once she grasped the basics and lost her fear of the tools she realised how much stuff was possible using automation.

I wrote her a little python script that would do the same thing but she prefers the automation tool - because she can do it herself and debug when things go wrong.

Well, I also suspect BQP≠NP, but we don’t know that yet either.

I still don’t understand what is meant by ’straightforward nondeterministic solution’. If you mean that QTMs or quantum circuits aren’t formally the same as NTMs, I agree. But nor are two-tape (D)TMs and single-tape DTMs, and yet we have linear speedup. Presumably there is a stronger claim here, but I do not understand what that is.

I think animation done in computers can be excellent, but is disadvantaged because computers make it easier to do thinks quick and cheap and the economics of animation incentivises taking that direction.

> If you’re getting paid you’re by definition not a volunteer.

You are technically incorrect. The US army, for example, is manned more or less entirely with paid volunteers.

And while many volunteers may not get formal compensation, they have to expect to get something out of the experience. Otherwise they would not do it. The subset of volunteers who are in it purely for a biblically pure sense of charity is tiny. And there is no expectation that Debian developers are motivated by some cultish wish to do good for the sake of free software. They're allowed to be motivated by whatever motivates them to do good with free software. Even if it is money.
