I wish people had more exposure to building mathematical models of things. I am fairly convinced that the only real exposure I was given was to models that we knew worked. So much so, that we didn't even execute many.

Specifically, parabolic motion is something you can obviously do by throwing something. You can, similarly, plot over a time variable where things are observed. You can then see that we can write an equation, or model, for this. For most of us, we jump straight to the model with some discussion of how it translates. But nothing stops you from observing.

With modern programming environments, you can easily jump people into simulating movement very rapidly and let people try different models there. We had turtle geometry years ago, but for most of us that was more mental execution than it was mechanical. Which is probably a great end goal, but no reason you can't also start with the easy computer simulations.
As they say, you can’t fix what you can’t measure. This is a first step.
I am fairly confident that the JIT restriction is about preventing third party browser engines (chrome) from running on the iPhone, not about security. When Google looked like they were investing heavily in PWAs they could have become a threat to native apps

you're in good company. most cosmological "dates" are not precise. for example, the age of the universe is suspected to be about 13.7 billion years +/- 20 million years. That's a really big +/- in years, but just 0.2% tolerance. the size of milky way is estimated at 26.8 ± 1.1 kiloparsecs. again, that's a lot of miles/kilometers of a range. it's not like they can run out and "pull tape" to take that measurement.

it's one of my favorite quirks of astronomy. of course even the tolerances/variances are going to be astronomically large.
Honestly? If you are making the transformation in SQL you've lost the T to the database server. Does it mean we don't do it? Is water wet?

The reality is that we shouldn't be making the transformation in written data, now you have staging tables, procs, views, resulting tables procs, views, a staging database (often called staging or etl), and an unhappy DBA who yells at you every time you cross-apply incorrectly.

ETL should be done before the data lands in SQL.

I know it is the third derivative specifically because a rapid _change_ in acceleration easily puts you off-balance. A change in acceleration effects a change in the forces acting on you (F=ma). When those changes happen slowly, it's easy to adapt and change your stance to neutralize those forces, thus preventing your body from accelerating relative to your frame of reference (the bus).

> Do we need new courts and judges every time something new is made illegal?

That's not what I was talking about.

If you make a law saying that quotas have to be communicated to employees so they can know what they're working up to, then you need someone to physically go to the workplaces and make sure that quotas are being communicated. It's as simple as that.

If you are enforcing this in, say, 500 warehouses, one person can probably do all the inspections, as that's a little less than two locations per day to go to all the locations in a year.

If you're enforcing this in every workplace in a state the size of California, the inspection apparatus necessary becomes unwieldy, and likely doesn't happen, making the law unenforced and ineffective.

As an aside, while this isn't what I was talking about, creating new laws does in fact mean you need more courts and judges. I'm not sure how you think this could not be the case--do you think you can just add more cases and the same number of workers will simply work more to absorb the additional workload? Keep in mind that most courts in the US have massive case backlogs, and create incentives to settle out of court to avoid court time, which results in all sorts of problems such as dangerous criminals getting away with slaps on the wrist on the one hand, and non-violent offenders being pressured into dangerous CI situations to avoid jail time on the other hand.

Message queues are great for flowing information to external systems, one-way. But it's always worth asking why you have separate systems in the first place. And if your app has to also consume from a queue, forming any sort of cycle, look out.

Especially if they are services that are conceptually related, you will immediately hit consistency problems - message queues offer few guarantees about data relationships, and those relationships are key to the correctness of every system I've seen. Treating message queues as an ACID data store is a categorical mistake if you need referential integrity - ACID semantics are ultimately what most business processes need at the end of the day and MQ architectures end up accumulating cruft to compensate for this.
This should be easy to defeat. YouTube videos are usually delivered as DASH streams and an ad would just send down a different fragment. Loading the video multiple times will load injected ads in different places but the core video segments will always be present. The differences could determine what's an ad and what's not. Detected ad segments can be added to a known ad bloom filter, correct segments could be added to a known valid bloom filter, or both.

20 years ago I read a few Wendell Berry essays on agriculture and it changed my life. I immediately believed two things: 1) if it wasn’t for computers I’d be an agrarian and 2) I finally had a better idea of conservatism in the sense that nature selects for conservative agrarians.

These ideas challenged my ideas of “turning it off and on again” and overall system design. I needed to prove to myself that I was more than a brain, and I was more than the “kid that was good with computers.” What was my body for?

I quit my virtualization/sysadmin job and moved to a farm in central Wisconsin, helping a small family with 4 acres of veggies for market, milked 20 goats and 2 cows, turkey, sheep … the whole works.

Farming didn’t work out long term for me but it taught excellent lessons and gave me a better foundation for understanding my satisfaction of being human, e.g. is the grass greener on the other side of the fence?

This is why I think nuclear power is a bad idea. Paying back a multibillion dollar investment takes decades. Operating costs eat into profits.
The financial incentive is to run them as cheaply as possible for as long as possible. In a place where there’s a strong work ethic and good maintenance history that might be fine.
Look around at your infrastructure before climbing on the nuclear bandwagon.
I think this makes the economic circumstances which allow for a billion dollar company to be created sound rarer than they are.

There have been numerous technologies that have emerged or hit the mainstream in my adult life that have spawned multiple billion dollar companies. EVs/charging, renewables, crypto/fintech, much of “modern” social media, same day/last mile delivery, drones, etc. Probably at least a few that I don’t know exist. Looking back across the history of business and innovation in the 1900s, this doesn’t seem that anomalous.

I think the actionable framing of this is -

- Build skills that are transferable between different industries that allow you to take advantage of the areas of greatest opportunity as they emerge.

- Build a network of likeminded people with complimentary skills who are willing to take a flyer on opportunities with you.

- Make friends with people with money who will fund these efforts, or build a resume that will make you an appealing founder or very, very early employee to VCs.

I do think that the situation of your birth has a major impact on your ability to put yourself in this position - I’m less sure about the timing aspect.

Forgive me for siding with the like of the IRAA/MPAA, but I agree that these people are grossly negligent. If you get two complaints, invest a few euros into VPN. Or switch to a different means of getting what you want, something other than torrents.

I remember the bad old days when they started to go after torrents. It was a great time. Those attacks forced filesharing to evolve. Torrents became encrypted. VPNs moved out of the shadows. Some would even say that Bitcoin really took off as people sought out a means to bypass limitations placed on credit card transactions. A dozen different censorship/blocking laws came and went (COICA, PROTECY IP). Remember internet blackout day? Or the Free Speech Flag? People were angry and demanded changes to protect their privacy. But in recent years the fight has stopped. Rightsholders have all but given up trying, and filesharing tech has stagnated. TPB remains online, as stable as ever. I cannot help but imagine what new tech we would have had the fighting continued.

Thank you for the feedback! In a little while I plan to redo the entire graphic interface, and yes a method to make it clearer when the microphone is listening is already in the plans.

Do you find it challenging to conduct customer discovery interviews?
I have been running my startup for 6 months now and have conducted more than 100 customer discovery interviews. Looking back, I realized that in many of these interviews, I asked a lot of leading questions. As a result, there weren't many valuable learnings from those calls because I was primarily trying to validate my hypothesis and guide the participants towards positive answers, instead of genuinely listening to their problems and understanding their needs.

I want to ask if you conduct customer discovery interviews. What are the underlying goals for doing so? Do you find it challenging to ask good questions to explore problems? And do you use any tools to help with that?

This seems like an unnecessary distinction with no purpose other than to gatekeep. A bartender is still a bartender if they only work weekends. An artist is still an artist if it's not their dayjob. A barber is still a barber if they have to work another job to make ends meet.

No, you shouldn't delude yourself into thinking that farming an acre or two is going to replace the income of most 9 to 5 jobs, but at a time in history where we absolutely need to be working to preserve and promote small-scale farming, we shouldn't be gatekeeping people.
Velocity measures how fast displacement changes. In the same way, displacement measures how fast absement changes. This means if displacement is small, then absement will grow slowly; if displacement is large, then absement will grow quickly.

I think in the linked article there's a good real-world example of that with a valve:

> opening the gate of a gate valve (of rectangular cross section) by 1 mm for 10 seconds yields the same absement of 10 mm·s as opening it by 5 mm for 2 seconds. The amount of water having flowed through it is linearly proportional to the absement of the gate, so it is also the same in both cases.

I agree French taxes are high, but Americans pay an estimated $20 billion a year in subsidies to the oil and gas industry, and that's just on the supply side. There are subsidies on the demand side as well for power and heating bills.

Also, if there weren't nuclear power energy subsidies, would French prices be higher than their neighbors? That's the question. Domestic energy prices in France are 1/3 lower than the EU average, which is significant[0]
