Controling the growth of wood in that manner is a pretty common fantasy trope, usually of the Elven variety. Or treesinging in Wheel of Time, for example. It's one of those that occasionally pops into my head. Would be pretty neat from a CO2-sequestration point of view, but unless the wood is stressed appropriately during growth, the resulting furniture (or housing) would likely crumble pretty easily.
Something similar to this?

Insane structure? I was unaware. What do you mean?
Tiring, but so is the relentless over-marketing. Each new demo implies new use cases and flexible performance. But the reality is they're very brittle and blunder most seemingly simple tasks. I would personally love an ongoing breakdown of the key weaknesses. I often wonder "can it X?" The answer is almost always "almost, but not a useful almost".
Nice work. Out of curiosity, how is the difficulty determined? I notice that some of the "hard" questions (inverting a 2x2 matrices or differentiating common functions) are much easier than others (proving that no natural number has Euler totient equal to 14).
Thanks for the answer! Not gonna lie, I don't have the background to understand all your articles, just enough to see that you're pushing the boundary on what's possible and it's really cool!

It depends on what kinds of roads you ride on. If you're always riding nice smooth asphalt, then yes, high pressure narrow tires are going to be faster pretty much always. But if you're riding on really crappy asphalt, chipseal, or on dirt or gravel roads, then a wider more supple tire may be just as fast but a whole lot more comfortable due to the ability to run lower pressures.

The power losses on a perfectly smooth road are aero and rolling resistance. But once you get onto bumpy surfaces, now you also need to consider the power losses of the bumps on the bike AND on the rider because the rider is the one supplying the power, even the power which does not transmit through the cranks.

Although I do agree with you partially, if you're racing, ride what ever makes you fastest. Energy efficiency isn't paramount, getting to the finish first is. But if you're not racing, then really consider if the tradeoff of comfort is worth it.

The BRR website's test protocol uses a fairly smooth metal drum for testing. This is good for testing rolling resistance but not for testing total system losses over rough roads. So although BRR is a great resource, take it with a grain of salt.
I think it's pretty far-fetched to draw conclusions from cultures that were at the same place like 4500 years later. How do you think they could have kept like 10000 slaves in place and convince them to remain slaves? And other Cucuteni sites had population estimates around 45 000 people...
Thank you, that was pretty informative.

> They don't like having to run long water pipes to the houses, but the costs of those water pipes is minimal over time, they last 100 years. It's just not an expensive enough problem to worry about.

My reading of their materials was that according to them the pipes last 30 years and taxes from the entire county are not enough to cover for that, but I have no way to falsify that claim.

Anyway, in my corner of the world people have been moving to the suburbs as well, but the reason is that the same credit score allows one to get approximately twice the living space in the suburbs, which sounds like a lot until it's mentioned that we're talking about 112m2 or 1200sq ft houses.

I mean no disrespect by this, but I get the feeling that they're catering to a specific demographic and I'm not in it.
I don’t remember it for straight but I definitely remember it for heterosexual, and abled. I think it’s not weird though, I think having so many examples proves it’s “normal” (ha!) It’s something about the updated language or discussions around it implying (or outright stating) that having not used it previously makes one morally wrong that gets people upset perhaps?

As an aside: I do think it’s reasonable to use the word “normal” when referring to a trait that, say, 90% of people share. It’s just that not having the trait shouldn’t be treated as bad, broken, or abnormal. For instance, it’s ok to think of being right-handed as normal or the default, just don’t treat being left-handed as bad or wrong.
Same applies to Sam Altman as well? Thing felt like a cult when he was forced out and everyone threatened to resign.
I have a similar thing. Have had numerous tests for it, and no one (so far) has been able to give me a satisfying explanation. I've gotten used to it, but it freaked me out when I first noticed it.

It isn't valid for mountain bike tires, except for when you're riding your mountain bike on a smooth road.

The only tests which BRR does which are likely applicable to mountain bike tires mounted to mountain bikes ridden on trails are the puncture tests, as you're likely to find sharp objects even on trails. Maybe the wet grip tests matter, if you often encounter wet large rock that you ride on.

Yes and no, and I used "generally" for good reason.

While the DoJ's often-obnoxious international behavior gets plenty of attention, the "how much does this matter to the US?" threshold for them to get involved rises sharply beyond the US border. And the legal basis for their involvement (Boeing does have lawyers, to argue the details in court) often changes, too.

OR - if a small-time, local crook is robbing US banks, how likely is the DoJ to get involved? (Hint: Answer includes "FBI".) Vs. how many small-time, local bank robbers is the DoJ chasing in Canada? Poland? Thailand?

RhodeCode made a product release firstly in a few years
RhodeCode just announced the official release of version 5.0.0 of its enterprise code management system. The team spent a few years transitioning to Python 3.11 and futureproofing their core solution. In addition, this version includes multiple performance and stability improvements. The upgrade is available for both the free, open-source Community Edition and the extended feature-reach Enterprise Edition.
The full information about this version is already on their official website.

I moved from Hamburg, Germany to Tokyo in October of last year. I would agree with their observation and have a few points to add that I found remarkable (some of them are probably a little specific to Tokyo):

- In larger cities there are Konbinis _everywhere_. As in: You can barely walk a block without encountering one in the more busy areas. Sometimes there are three within a 30m Radius.

- Most fruits (except bananas or Kaki when in season) are pretty expensive.

- Package sizes in supermarkets are often smaller that in europe, so if you are used to buying 1 or 2kg bags of frozen veggies you'll have to go to Costco.

- People make due with much less space here than in europe. Tiny apartments everywhere.

- Most single detached family homes in residential areas of Tokyo usually have no garden.

- Even though a lot of places look like they have not changed since the 80s, they are suprisingly well maintained and clean.

- There are basically no public trashbins except at some train stations or in konbinis (which often makes me feel like I need to buy something else to justify throwing stuff away).

- Lots of people wear masks casually (not judging whether thats good or bad)

- Food is not only cheap but usually tastes amazing. I have not even once gone anywhere (from cheap chain to upscale sushi place) an was disappointed.

- You do get 日本語上手 (Nihongo Jouzu = your japanese is good) a lot even if you just say Hello in japanese.

- Trains here are usually really punctual, go frequently and during rush hour are unbearably crowded. It's kind of a miracle that people don't start fighting constantly and everyone is just somehow accepting the fact that they are forcefully pushed around on the train.

- The japanese people I met are are almost all incredibly nice, once you break the ice. They are so mindful of others feelings and needs and really good at reading people.
Better than just reading the letter is to listen to the musical change in Beethoven's works.

Beethoven's music is usually divided into 3 periods. The first is really classical sounding, like late Mozart. In fact, Beethoven was a fan of Mozart and some sources say that Mozart appreciated Beethoven's compositions too. Go listen to string quartet no. 1, or symphony no. 1 for a bit. StructureStructured, restrained, even elegant. There's definitely emotionality in there especially compared to peak Classical era like Haydn. Those guys may as well have shit marble, as Mozart put it. Check out the pathetique sonata for something about as emotive as Beethoven got at the time.

Then came the diagnosis of progressive deafness. This letter is the best insight into Beethoven's mind at the time, and "existential depression with suicidal ideation" seems like the right description to me. He stopped composing for several months.

When he returned to composing in 1803, it's a totally different sound. This is the wild, emotional Beethoven we generally think of. Waldstein sonata, symphony 5, string quartet no. 9 are good examples here. It's Rage Against The Machine before electric instruments were invented.

If you're interested in the third period, read on.

The transition to third period is more gradual, around 1815. There isn't a hard biographical line in the sand like the Heiligenstadt testament, but his relationship with his nephew/ward Karl got awful, his love life fell apart, and his deafness took a sharp turn for the worse, all around the same time. His old tricks to keep composing, like sawing off the legs of his piano so he could feel it in the floor (poor downstairs neighbors!) were not effective anymore, and he was reduced to mostly communicating on a chalk tablet.

His music turned inwards, became more introspective. Themes like life and death and afterlife, godliness and debasement, retribution and redemption flood the work. It also gets much more complicated harmonically. He does a lot of contrasts, between the grandiose and the intimate, for example. Symphony 9, particularly the Ode To Joy, is quintessential. Also check out string quartet op.131, the Hammerklavier piano sonata, and the missa solemnis in D.

Now go out and impress your friends at dinner parties with your deep knowledge of Beethoven! Tune in next time for Bach: the original "ba-rock" star.

I integrate RSS into my daily email flow - I don't track too many different sites, so I just let emails build up in an "Automated.RSS" folder until I want to read them.

Having feeds send their output by email means I can use my existing way to keep state - if I've read an article it shows as read on any system I use for email (be it desktop, laptop, or phone). I can also easily search and filter feed items inside the mail-client if I want to.

I wrote/use rss2email, but there are no doubt a hundred different implementations of the idea, with the same name:

On descents you can also pick up a lot of speed by getting a heavier bike and supersizing your meals at McDonalds.

Speed on descents isn't really that relevant - you're descending, so unless you're racing it's practically effort-less. What matters for people biking normally (i.e., not recreational road bike racing) is assistance in the 10-15mph regime, on flat terrain or climbing.

Large changes in rolling resistance matters here, like going from an almost 40W tire to a 20W tire. But aerodynamics have a very minimal effect here, and going below 20W tires won't really make a meaningful difference in biking effort compared to the effect on your butt and wrists.
If that were widely believed, passports wouldn't exist, and trespassing wouldn't be something you could be charged with.

You can say it's a right, but I'm not sure there's any wealthy nation that believes that any random human should be allowed to travel wherever they please without paperwork to prove they belong and/or are safe.

I'm not really a fan of real ID, but I also think that the US should has a national ID and the US has the right to deny free travel to those it didn't invite in anyway.
Radon sensors might be dedicated and expensive, or they might just count clicks in the gamma spectrum.

If you have a basement | enclosed space in a granite rich area then you'll probably get radon gas pooling in that space unless it's sealed and|or vented.

You're unlikely to have an unspecified gamma source (lump of uranium, limp of potassium, lump of thorium) in your basement so ...

A generic geiger counter (click counter) should give a reading (low) outside your space in the open air, and another reading (higher) inside that space .. that can vary with time (as gas is expressed, pools, vented).

That generic click difference is almost entirely radon .. you'll be taking readings within 20 feet, one inside, anothe outside.

So you can easily get away with a cheap geiger counter to indicate if there's an issue .. if there is, you'll need to either:

* minise time spent inside space, and|or

* vent the space (fan blower, + pipe to outside)

* accept a cancer risk ~ a pack a day smoking if you use space as an office.

If you look at the tires (let's ignore road bikes for now) the vast majority is between 15ish and 28ish Watts (I usually look at Gravel and MTB tires).

Then look at the methodology:

> The total rolling resistance of an average rider with a total bike + rider weight of 85 kg / 188 lbs that averages 28.8 km/h / 18 mph will be double the rolling resistance you can find on our website. If you're heavier than that or average higher speeds, the total rolling resistance will increase roughly linearly with the increase in weight or speed.

All I can say is that I am a lot heavier than 85kg with my bike and that I am usually riding at 20-25 km/h.

So let's say the lower bound they mention would 2x15 and the upper bound 2x25. Let's assume 127kg with luggage, that scales linearly to 3x15 - 3x25, but the speed is only 2/3, so we can dial it back. My napkin math now says the difference between a good pair of tires and a bad one is 30 vs 50.

And I'm still not sure if that translates 1:1 to the assumed typical 100 Watts of an average rider..

I found https://www.gribble.org/cycling/power_v_speed.html though and if I plug in my numbers, the coefficient of rolling resistance is our variable, and

0.00465 -> Rolling resistance is working against you with 5.79 (N) of force, or 50.15 watts of power.

0.00273 -> Rolling resistance is working against you with 3.40 (N) of force, or 30.01 watts of power.

So the tires make about 2-3 kph, which fits what most people have posted when I was researching this.

How to PyCon
The formalization work for Rust was done mostly at the MIR level, which is one step lower than the THIR level we use here. See, for example, the https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/ project. MIR should be more amenable to formal specification, as this language is more compact than THIR and aims to be more stable.

However, we also lose some information going to MIR, as there are no expressions/loops from the original code anymore. There are still ways to reconstruct these, but we preferred to use the THIR representation directly.
If your primary goal is minimizing work, you can also try an electric bike, or driving!

I liked RSS. And then most of the things I followed in RSS destroyed their RSS feed in one way or another. For a while, I used scrapers to turn the real pages into RSS, but as most killed their feeds, I gave up on it.

> The use of house size as a proxy for the economic status and social power of households in a society is based on broad cross-cultural evidence from ethno-archaeological studies and archival sources as it has been found that household wealth and house size are correlated in many societies

Basic premise of this study is wrong, based on recorded history from the same region. Nomadic herding warriors do not live in houses, and do not leave the same mark in archaeology records.

Early agriculture can support a huge number of people, but they will be malnourished, and always be dominated by meat fed elites!
Gravel bikes are going to transform in coming years as now they are neither very comfortable nor fast. It turns out that wider MTB tires are both faster (when it comes to rolling resistance) and way more comfortable and safer than gravel tires even on tarmac, let alone any kind of terrain.

The reason is that soft casing is way more important than knobs when it comes to rolling resistance and MTB tires can be made soft because all the additional rubber coming with width while gravel tires are usually harder and thus slower (and less grippy and less comfotable). Notable exception is Continental Terra Speed but it's still not as good as Race King and way more puncture prone.

The problem with most current gravel frames is that they don't fit wide and fast MTB tires so you are stuck with the worst of both worlds - slow, not comfortable and still not grippy/soft enough to go fast off-road unless it's a very well maintained road.
