The fundamental result of Fourier analysis is that we are saying the same thing :) Though I should have clarified that the kinetic energy is zero at the "boundary" (ie bridge).

IMO which answer you prefer depends on perspective:

- if you assume a wave can be broken down into sinusoidal overtones then your geometric approach is much more immediate and intuitive: sinusoidal overtones => higher overtones clearly have more kinetic energy near the boundary, just draw a picture.

- if you assume that higher-pitched overtones have more kinetic energy then the physics approach explains why they are sinusoidal. Not the specific shape unless you do the math, but the "gist" of the slope. If the overtones were more like square waves, with no real difference in shape between frequencies beyond the length of the rectangle, then the pickup position wouldn't matter. But they can't be, the overtones have to be more "trapezoidal." And in particular, the lower overtones must have a more gradual slope than the higher overtones.

The geometric approach makes a big (but correct) physical assumption for an easy analytical argument; the physical approach goes the other way, only depending on Newton's laws + a lot of elbow grease.

For more efficiency than an RTG, slap a Stirling engine on the heat source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine). Probably not practical, since the necessary radiators would be huge and it introduces mechanical complexity.

Yes, the minimum wage in Big Macs has absolutely cratered, something like a sevenfold decrease. I haven’t checked the numbers but I expect the price of a house in minimum wage hours has similarly skyrocketed.

This is of course because labor has received virtually none of the labor productivity gains since 1965.

The funny thing is, examples of macro craziness only strengthen my point, because C++ inherits all of that in addition to its hidden behaviors and magical semantics. It’s rare to find serious C code doing a lot of crazy things behind macros. In my experience, the few exceptions I can think of include the GMP library and data structure-related code trying to emulate generics (mostly hash tables).

Some differences: the standard doesn't guarantee that C++ bitfields will be densely packed (this is mostly a technicality), you can't have non-const bitfields, and you can't take a pointer to a bitfield. Zig's pointer-to-bitfield is a special type, for obvious reasons, but they can come in handy.

I have no idea if the requirement that each bitfield be reified as its declared type inhibits optimization of that example or not, in practice. Maybe, maybe not.

Not a comment about the stock price increase due to splits, but very high stock prices are an issue for employee stock purchase plans (ESPP): they can't offer fractional shares and they need to round down.

If you set aside 15% of a gross salary of $100k for 6 months, that's $7500. When the stock is at $1000, you get 7 shares. If the stock is $100, you get 75 shares. The lower your income, the more you miss out on ESPP that way.

It's not a huge deal if the stock is flat (you only get a 15% discount), but for a fast appreciating stock, those additional 5 shares can be real money.

> This has to be the most comprehensive and informative reply to any question I've posed on the Internet in the last 30 years of being online. Thank you!

Law has always been a passion of mine, and international law in particular. I even applied for law school once but wasn’t accepted. If I tried again, applied to more schools, I probably would have been accepted by one of them eventually, but I took it as a message from the great beyond that it wasn’t meant to be. Still, if one believes in parallel universes, I reckon there must be one out there in which right now I’m a lawyer instead of a software engineer

> What powers would the ICJ have to punish individual actors at fault in a situation like this? Or to force an injunction? (outside of monetary damages which does you no good if you're dead)

The ICJ has very broad powers to order states to do things. The only real limit is its own judgement about what is legal and what is prudent-if it starts ordering things which the international community views as unreasonable, it could greatly harm its own reputation, and I think its judges are aware of that risk and keep it in mind when making decisions.

However, while the ICJ can order states to do things, it has no actual power to compel them to obey its orders. Under the UN Charter, that’s the job of the Security Council. In theory, if a state violates an ICJ order, the Security Council can order military action to enforce it. In practice, that obviously doesn’t work when one of the P5 is the respondent, since they aren’t going to vote for military action against themselves. And even if the respondent is some friendless pariah country, other states might not view enforcing an ICJ order as worth going to war over.

An unenforceable order isn’t entirely worthless though. Obviously it can have negative diplomatic and political consequences for the state concerned, it can harm their reputation in the court of international public opinion. And a case can be valuable for establishing legal precedent. The LaGrand case actually was important in that the ICJ for the first time ruled that its provisional measures (basically a preliminary injunction) were legally binding. This was unclear because the wording of the English text of the Statute of the ICJ suggests they are not but the French text suggests they are, and both the English and French are equally authoritative. Faced with that contradiction, the ICJ decided in this case to follow the French over the English.

I miss Psion a lot. Has there been a UK computer hardware company since as innovative?

IIRC, they did some odd things in their final years. I remember really wanting a Psion 7/Psion netbook while living in the UK; there was some bizarre situation they would only sell them to B2B customers despite plenty of fans wanting one. I may be recalling facts a little off.

My first ever program was written on the built in IDE on a Psion 3 (funny to think of portable computers that ship with the ability to write apps out of the box in todays cellphone market...)

Agreed. In the current status quo, it is abused by car owners who get away with literal murder.

No, but my home is my private space; I'm not driving my home down a shared road. Compare and contrast the relatively lax requirements to get a driver's license with the incredibly stringent rules around getting a pilot's license; the government has existing broad authority to regulate access to public thoroughfares and the use of heavy machinery when such use could jeopardize the health and safety of others.

Wake me up when the non tech people are using it.
Fuzzing random data is fine for development environments, but it won't give you the same scale or statistical significance as production data. Without that you can't really ensure that a change will work reliably in production, without actually deploying to production. Canary deployments can only give you this assurance to a certain degree, and by definition would only cover a subset of the data, so having a traditional staging environment is still valuable.

Not only that, but a staging environment with prod-like data is also useful for running load, performance and E2E tests without actually impacting production servers or touching production data. In all of these cases, anonymizing production data is important as you want to minimize the risk of data leaks, while also avoiding issues that can happen when testing against real production data (e.g. sending emails to actual customers).

>advertising technology being our most advanced technology.

This is a huge distinction I want to point out: Nothing anyone has done in the past twenty years has been to make advertising more effective, though that is what is often claimed. The system however, only works towards making advertising more profitable to Google and Facebook. Everything else, including advertising effectiveness, has been slaughtered at the altar of "Gotta make line go up" inside Google and Facebook.

Both companies benefit greatly if the amount you spend on advertising goes up because it's not as effective as it used to be.

They also run most advertising as explicitly adversarial instant auctions, meaning the ad that runs before your Youtube video isn't the one most likely to get you what you want, or fix a problem you have, or even please your dopamine system, but rather the ad you see is primarily driven by who spends the most. This means that every midsized company that is so stupid as to misconfigure their advertising run will run a lot of ineffective ads, while the lean company doing innovative things locally who can only afford a "reasonable" ad spend will end up running far fewer ads.

The system empowers those with deep pockets and silences those without. Intentionally. This also makes it pretty easy to keep your new competition from getting any oxygen in a market.

I believe Google says that they include other things in the bidding process, including a specific claim that if you run a shitty ad that nobody every clicks on, it will be down-ranked in the ad auction, but they have billions and billions of reasons to not do that as effectively as they could. They are financially motivated to make advertising less effective and more expensive for consumers and producers alike.

That’s part of it but the two party system is more downstream of the specific idiosyncrasies of the electoral college with it’s bizarre rules that end up with state delegations choosing a winner if no one wins an absolute majority of electoral college votes. So you cannot have more than two candidates without the election being thrown out and decided by the House.

Other countries with majoritarian systems like the UK and Canada at least have 3 viable parties, even if there are two that are usually the biggest.

Estranged parents seem to think everything was fine and then suddenly changed, and usually "for no reason."

I had four friends, separately, individually, reach out to me and say, "I know this isn't actually my business, and I wonder whether I should even say anything, but why does your dad think it's OK to talk to you like he does?"

I then spent three more years telling him each time he belittled me or spoke to me like a child that he could either speak to me with the common decency every single person deserves just by virtue of being human, or I would prevent him from speaking to me altogether.

It was never fine, but growing up in his house, I never knew any different was possible. I thought that was just how I deserved to be treated.

It took other people to tell me it wasn't OK, and had never been OK, but I guarantee if you ask him, he will tell you he has no idea what happened, and will certainly blame anyone but himself.
So a bitmap index requires a bit per unique value IIRC (plus the key and some amount of overhead). So for ~32 unique values you're already at 4 bytes, 40 bytes per key-value pair for 320 values, etc.

In comparison, a B-field will let you store 32 distinct values at ~3.4 bytes (27 bits) per key-value pair at a 0.1% FP rate.
I own a Model 3, and I honestly think it is the best car I have ever owned.

Despite that, I know people who have ruled out owning a Tesla because they believe the brand mirrors Elon Musk's public persona. They flat-out reject any Tesla product because the brand's visible face is someone they believe doesn't represent their values.

I'm unsure he understood the implications of becoming such a polarizing figure. It was totally unnecessary, yet that was his choice.

In my experience jumping from a Clojure shop to a large Java shop a few years ago, the benefits of persistent data structures are overstated. Mutable collections are just as good for 99% of use cases. And they're a lot faster (in single threaded code) and occasionally mutation makes things easier.

The selling point of Clojure is that persistent data structures prevent several classes of bugs (unintended mutation, locking, etc.). But in reality -- as long as your team members are good enough programmers -- I don't see these kind of bugs happen in practice.

That being said I love Clojure and the standard library is the best out of any language. It is a great choice in the small market of "projects that need simple and correct code".
One big text file (OBTF) for the win? I'm curious about the pros and cons people think of.

I'll second that the popular tooling, while powerful and reliable, its just not user friendly.

The official Clojure CLI, for example, is just plain confusing, and that's most people's first impression to the entire ecosystem. The config files, while they use the wonderful `.edn` format, are also not intuitive. Newcomers are the most likely people to encounter the most amount of error messages... which are famously difficult to read.

And that's before you even get into REPL configuration, which involves coordination with your editor process, a client process, and a server process. Even if you have a tool like Calva or CIDER managing it for you, you'll still get confused when something goes wrong unless you grok all the moving parts.

Even if you figure that all out, you still don't have Parinfer or equivalents setup yet in your editor. Also, clojure-lsp tends to require some configuration to get working the way you want. And that's before you get started with ClojureScript, which brings the complexity to another level entirely.

Despite all this, I love Clojure. It's an expert's language, even though it shouldn't have to be. Once you learn this stuff, you respect why much of this complexity exists. It's inherent to the amount of power the language gives you.

But doesn't mean we can't make it easier to use and get started with.
This just pushes the question, what else should be opt-in because it could be abused by someone given full access to your laptop? Saving browser history? Persistent logins? Shell history? Document recovery? Spotify listening history?

This is why Windows has the "airtight hatchway" beyond which security against the user accessing their own data stops applying. Inside your login is by construction where your private data goes. Adding more of it shouldn't matter as it's all protected as the same. Like I agree that this feature is annoying but it's not a security risk, Windows promises no security against yourself.
No they dictate what their program (Paint) can generate. Nobody is forcing you to use it.
Microsoft dictates what their software can generate, much in the same way they dictate what colors you can use in paint and what font sizes you can use in word.

You can still generate as much porn or whatever it is you want to generate using other software.
Haha that's absolutely terrible.
I also cannot stand Java (not the technology, but everything surrounding it - bean factories, J2EE, Tomcat, war files, maven, insane unhinged class paths etc) but honestly one of the reasons Clojure is amazing is that it allows you to exist inside of the Java ecosystem while also being pretty isolated and walled off from it. It's all the good parts of Java without all the bad annoying parts.

I would urge you to push thru the PTSD and give it another shot.

There is also Clojurescript, which runs on Javascript, and Babashka which is a lighter weight implementation of Clojure for fast startup times that is targeted at things like shell scripts or system programs. https://babashka.org/
