1) by building and installing a whole lot of these big turbines to create the "wind farm"

2) by leveraging repetition and incrementalism in building installing a lot of these big turbines: doing it on a shorter and more predictable timescale than a nuclear reactor, at a smaller and more predictable cost than a nuclear reactor, and getting some benefit as soon as a few are up.

3) by, I assume, having lower decommissioning costs than a nuclear reactor.

Welcome to our Chart of the Week blog series!

Today, we’ll visualize the sizes and weights of various sports balls using the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Scatter Chart.

Sports enthusiasts know that most sports use balls, which vary widely in size and weight. Understanding these variations can provide fascinating insights into the design and dynamics of each sport. The lightest ball is a Table Tennis ball, and the largest ball size is Basketball. These differences reflect each sport’s unique demands and rules, providing a deeper appreciation for their diversity.

The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Scatter Chart is ideal for showcasing these differences. A scatter chart plots data points on a two-dimensional graph, making it easy to observe relationships between variables. The chart’s feature set includes data binding, tooltips, titles, and customizable axes, ensuring a clear and engaging visualization.

Right but that's less important than telling the other party that anyone might be recorded. Because, again, spirit of the law, it loosens expectations of privacy.

Bun uses JavaScriptCore (the js engine of Safari) so I doubt they are doing anything fancy with typescript types.
IIRC it has something to do with full screen apps/use of spaces. Just don’t use either and the bug shouldn’t occur. Annoying but I love the app too much that it was worth giving those up.

If it annoys you enough see if rcmd works for you. It’s the next best alternative Ive found so far. The Dev is great too I use a bunch of his other apps (Lunar and Clop).
I'm not who you replied to, however:

- The original Lisp was based on mutable singly linked lists. Lambda calculus has no lists, except for Church-encoded ones (just like lambda calculus only has Church encoded booleans and numbers). It also doesn't have mutability.

- Later, Common Lisp (which was a unification of the Lisp variants that had descended from Lisp 1.5) also grew an object system, and it was implemented using dynamic scoping and dynamic typing. That stuff definitely has nothing to do with lambda calculus.

If you want an implementation of the lambda calculus, you could try Haskell 98 or Standard ML. Those are based on System F [0], a kind of typed lambda calculus.

> If BSD wasn't available under terms Sony liked, they'd be using QNX or something more obscure and just as inaccessible to their users.

That's the point: if they don't want to contribute their changes back, they should spend their own money writing their own software.

Right now, they'd take thousands of hours of effort from the community, add a few hundred of their own and then close off the product from the very community that they so willingly took this charity from. Yay BSD license!

If they had to use QNX or similar, they'd pay to do it. If they had to use GPL, they'd pay to close off their changes, which would be great for funding more free software.

> For better or worse, all the big console manufacturers see their ability to lock down their platform as vital to their development and business strategies. Vital to their ability to charge $60 for a few gigabytes of 1s and 0s.

Well that's why I divided the licenses into "pro-user" and "pro-corporate". The BSDs are pro-corporate.

I think that can kind of work for B2C things, but is much less likely to do so for B2B. Just as an example, I work on industrial maintenance software, and customers expect us to catch problems with their machinery 100% of the time, and in time to prevent it. Sometimes faults start and progress to failure faster than they're able to send data to us, but they still are upset that we didn't catch it.

It doesn't matter whether that's reasonable or not, there are a lot of people who expect software systems to be totally reliable at what they do, and don't want to accept less.
Can you elaborate? Can't say I've ever heard someone say we should legalize cannabis so the kids can smoke it too.
Mhmm vinegar with human remains
There are certainly cases where type hints could be leveraged.

But ultimately the way a JIT like Turbofan works is that it will do better optimizations if your JS code is already monomorphic (functions signatures, object fields and so on).

Now TS sort of nudges you that way if you write simple TS code. But due to structural typing, expressive type golf features and the fact that TS is generally unsound I doubt it would be easy to leverage type hints much beyond that.

Here are two talks that are very much related and give some insights into how difficult these kinds of problems are:

I stopped using Bun, because it provides a nice API and just works and all, but it seems to be just a thin wrapper over Node, hiding the messy stuff underneath.

My experience is that vendors have written very few of the drivers in the Linux kernel, and that most vendor drivers remain proprietary. Nvidia's being the most visible, Intel Poulsbo's being another despised example, most of Android's drivers are also closed and hiding behind an extensive shim framework, Dell even wrote DKIM to help deal with all of the proprietary vendor drivers for the subset of machines on which they offer Linux.

Linux's wealth of open source drivers seem to come almost exclusively from it's community, instead. Which, but for a Finnish university student, could have just as easily coalesced around FreeBSD.

Prior to LLMs, language was what "proved" humans were "more intelligent" than animals.

But this is besides the point; I have no doubt that if one were to make a mouse immortal and give it 50,000 years experience of reading the internet via a tokeniser that turned it into sensory nerve stimulation and it getting rewards depending on how well it can guess the response, it would probably get this good sooner simply because organic minds seem to be better at learning than AI.

But mice aren't immortal and nobody's actually given one that kind of experience, whereas we can do that for machines.

Machines can do this because they can (in some senses but not all) compensate for the sample-inefficient by being so much faster than organic synapses.
I hear you, but children aren't raised by parents alone.

They are also raised by society and environment. It has to go hand in hand.

Implementing structures in communications and tech that evolve around actual real-life material conditions and challenges, is what will make any innovation useful.

Society can no longer afford to separate well-being and technology as two separate concerns for the long run. It's either for humans and what their realities really look like, or it's for nothing, imo.

Whether the above is really a great step, I can't say, tho.

There Are No Secrets –| Exploiting Veeam CVE-2024-29855
Just because it's not 100% possible right now, doesn't mean we shouldn't work towards it.

Your first criticism as an example. "World too urbanized". Again, the solution solves a big chunk of other problems we have. One need only read HN a bit to see a bunch of them. E.g. 1. Food islands. 2. Focus on transport to get food because mom and pop stores closed and we only have Walmart. 3. Car culture.

My point is don't shoot the idea down, we have to consider how working towards this arguable ideal moves the needle in a better direction. And yes, maybe the end-goal I presented isn't 100% possible or the right direction for society. But working towards it means we solve a host of intermediate problems, with each one making things a bit better.

Sorry I'm not answering all your points, which some are 100% valid and I agree, but others are just us talking past eachother. E.g. I'm not entirely advocating for us to go to the middle-ages and churn butter for 2 hours a day. But there has to be an in-between that opens up additional options and ideas that I can't possibly envision, or articulate well-enough, or consider every angle and potential criticism.

I'm guessing this was from a time when they invoking bun on a script was just an alias to run it with node instead, and you had to do a more specific incantation like `bun run index.ts` to actually use the bun runtime.

When did you use it?
Well, no, for more than one reason. First, for the water, time doesn't stop. Chances are it wouldn't even know it surpassed the event horizon (you know, if it could actually experience anything). For an external observer, it would crawl to a halt just outside the event horizon until it simply fades from vision.

Then gravitational tidal forces aren't strictly a uniform compression, on the contrary. Since gravity increases by 1/r^2, the part of the water drop that's closest to the black hole would experience largest force. That tears everything apart, so the water would be more dispersed instead of compressed. While I haven't done the math (and don't know if I even still could), I'd assume that gravity would quickly overcome Van Der Waals forces that holds the water molecules together, so it'd probably closer to water vapour than liquid.

And lastly, once it finally reaches the singularity, all bets are off. As far as I'm aware we have no idea what happens to matter in a singularity apart from contributing to its mass.

We've got several different RVA22+Vector (latest spec, ratified March 2023) RISC-V cores, SoCs, SBCs and laptops on sale right now, with much faster ones (P670, A78-class) coming around the end of the year.

Bun is so nice. I’m building a little, zero dependency web application just for fun.

- TSX is baked in, so I’m using that as my HTML templating layer.

- SQLite is baked in, so I’m using that as my database.

- Bun shell replaced the need for something like “concurrently”.

- I wired together live reloading plumbing using easily using the file watcher.

Its documentation is excellent. It starts up fast. When you do need to install dependencies, that is impressively fast, too.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, I’d highly recommend it. 9/10.

(The reason for the 9 is that there are still some lingering APIs and behaviors missing from Node which might trip you up.)

He might be referring to the problem that URLs are not enough to get to a certain state, which you might run into when trying to share a specific view or when your browser heavily unloads your tab.

I found this to be the biggest issue when building my webpage, I wanted to have a link like /blog/foo, but what exists out there is just / and the documents at /blog and /blog/foo are just the small fragments that get loaded once you click your way through /
Ultimately I hacked around it by adding some js to every file beyond /, which redirected to / with some anchor, and having / restore the state through the anchor, but it doesn't look the same as regular links into a website (/#blog-foo vs /blog/foo)
