Maybe, but what other people write about their visualization experiences is completely alien to me. It's not a matter of degree.

Is there any analogy between reasoning about relationships and paths through complicated source code code vs paths through a street map? I don't think I visualize either, I just kind of absorb knowledge and piece together plans.

I don't have an inner monologue either, and I find that I've not infrequently found myself having to pronounce a word I've only ever read before. Ihhave to invent a spoken pronunciation for the first time ever and get self-conscious. It's not the same as aphantasia, but kind of similar. Well, maybe: when I see a movie about a book I've read, I never say, "oh, that actor looks different than what I thought the character looked like".

I don't mean to argue that aphantasia is "real", but I do feel there is evidence for it.

> Not really, no more so than a random webpage running js/WASM in a sandbox.

... except that it can happen in non-browser contexts.

Even for browsers, it took 20+ years to arrive at a combination of ugly hacks and standard practices where developers who make no mistakes in following a million arcane rules can mostly avoid the massive day-one security problems caused by JavaScript (and its interaction with other misfeatures like cookies and various cross-site nonsense). During all of which time the "Web platform" types were beavering away giving it more access to more things.

The Worldwide Web technology stack is a pile of ill-thought-out disasters (or, for early, core architectural decisions, not-thought-out-at-all disasters), all vaguely contained with horrendous hackery. This adds to the pile.

> The only output from the WASM is to draw to screen.

Which can be used to deceive the user in all kinds of well-understood ways.

> There is no chance of a RCE, or data exfiltration.

Assuming there are no bugs in the giant mass of code that a font can now exercise.

I used to write software security standards for a living. Finding out that you could embed WASM in fonts would have created maybe two weeks of work for me, figuring out the implications and deciding what, if anything, could be done about them. Based on, I don't know, a hundred similar cases, I believe I probably would have found some practical issues. I might or might not have been able to come up with any protections that the people writing code downstream of me could (a) understand and (b) feasibly implement.

Assuming I'd found any requirements-worthy response, it probably would have meant much, much more work than that for the people who at least theoretically had to implement it, and for the people who had to check their compliance. At one company.

So somebody can make their kerning pretty in some obscure corner case.
"Against traffic" is different as a bike or led though. Sometimes when lanes are very narrow and visibility isn't good, you need to go against traffic (on the shoulder) so that the driver sees your face and responds faster. And you can see to bail if someone hasn't made room.

But if it's a Chicago intersection and you just said I'm on a bike all 12 lanes have to yield to me and you zoom diagonal in front of cars... the Darwin Awards are never short of applicants.

E-bikes and scooters and stuff have made this 1,000 times worse. The number of drunk kids who think they can go max speed down a hill through intersections and cars will just magically make way for them... Terrifying.

He actually thought I was a maths genius and shouted “Albert Einstein come back” not realising that I just did sqrt(64) in 50 microseconds and then 450 microseconds of schoolboy humour derivation. Probably more like a Feynman approximation than an Einsteinian, but maybe he’ll learn that in decades to come. Good job his pocket calculator couldn’t square 58008 or 5318008 else I probably wouldn’t have grokked it.
Absolutely. Wasn't saying it's a good idea.

My question though is what happens when there are -days- of bad weather for solar or wind and most of a state (Texas during the 2021 cold snap where 500+people died). No grid batteries that we currently have can handle that. Do we just let 5000 people die and say “those are the breaks”? The grid was already bad with 80% ish fossil + 20% wind/solar mix. I’ll admit it was because the old fossil fuel plants weren’t properly winterized, but the net effect is the same, when the role is flipped and it 80%/20% green/fossil what happens?

Your car bias is showing here. The reason bike lanes and traffic calming measures get installed is because people are literally dying due to poor road design that prioritizes car speed over everything else.

You might not want traffic calming, but everyone else who has to deal with your driving does.

I'm pretty sure everybody (for certain values of "everybody") visualizes things as schemata; being able to imagine only specific, known, real examples instead of representative composites is a feature of autism. But here it sounds more like you're talking about a highly symbolic/abstracted example of a house vs. a highly detailed/concrete example of a house (rather than the autistic "actual house I have actually seen before"). I don't see how any of these wouldn't still be considered visual mental imagery and I'm starting to think that the people saying there's a semantics issue here might have a point.
>Not exactly straightforward when alcohol is sold. Alcohol laws see liability placed on the server, which means that technically transaction is directly between the customer and the server. Which is no doubt why tipping traditionally was only a practice in places where alcohol is sold.

This is an absolutely bizarre take. The fact that bartenders have liability to not serve patrons absurd amounts of alcohol, has no bearing on what the transaction is "technically" between. If you really want to get down to brass tacks, I doubt the merchant account on the credit card machine is going to the bartender, nor is the revenue showing up on his tax returns. Moreover, bartending isn't the only profession where you take on liability. Doctors are liable for malpractice as well. Does that mean you should tip your doctors as well?
Wow, I never knew that could happen! Are there other examples or a name for this phenomenon?

Rigorously work out how long each of those components would last under even ideal natural circumstances. Silicon doesn't devitrify like glass. But it will weather away, atomically, chemically and physically.
Kind of a sad reflection of society that this comment is grayed out. In that the person downvoting it was so certain it was wrong, they didn't even stop to consider they might be the one who is wrong - and they are. [1] Galaxies are already moving away from one another at speeds greater than the speed of light. So the speed of light already has at least one asterisk there. In that nothing can be perceived as moving through space at speeds faster than light, but the expansion of the universe can happily send objects drifting apart at speeds well above the speed of light, and accelerating.

In general, customizable widgets are more complex to develop and learn.

For something like that, any price change is going to be a nuisance. Any jump less than another whole dollar now means you have to deal with change. I usually have some cash on me but I go out of my way to not carry a pocketful of coins.

Yet jumping to $2 is a 100% increase and that feels like a lot.

Probably better to stay with $1 and just treat it as a loss leader that gets customers coming back. See for example the $1.50 Hot Dog combo at Costco, which has stayed at that price for decades. They aren't making any money on it but customers have come to appreciate it and it nurtures loyalty.

JonesForth is popular for teaching, but most implemented Forths people talk about on r/forth seem to only be written in ASM if the target is embedded.

Fun maths, especially computing the inverse of 25 in Z/65536Z!

As the article mentions, you need a slightly different calculation in the period between 45 BC and 1582 AD -- the rule about 400 didn't exist in the Julian calendar in force then. Before 45 BC, and in non-Roman-based calendars, it gets even more complicated with intercalary months and postponing New Year's and such.

But surely in all but the tiniest fraction of cases, you only care about years after 1582, and years that are no more than a few centuries in the future. There are only 223 leap years from 1582-2500 (I checked with ChatGPT so that number must be right!) A binary search of an ordered 223-item list would require at most 8 comparisons, and if you don't mind a little more space, you could just store all 919 of those years in a list and look up the answer directly. Wouldn't either be faster than any of these methods (and clearer)?
I visited a small museum near where I live the other day (The Kröller-Müller Museum, in the Netherlands), the founder happened to pick up quite a few Van Gogh paintings over her collecting, including one of my favourites (Terrasse du Café le Soir), but also a lot of other incredible works by him. One of the things that stood out to me is how the oil is so thickly layered in some paintings. It's most obvious in Cypresses and Two Women -- the painting is so rich with oil paint (so I guess it was done in a period when he could afford plenty of materials) the trees all have a ridged texture to them.

It's just another dimension to his art, but it really grabbed me. It's not something that would be easy to replicate in a VR exhibition, I don't think.

> Does that, however, mean bicycles should swerve between cars like motorcycles in CA ( and lately -- illegally -- in IL ) or go against the traffic diagonally?

In my anecdotal experience driving all over the country, aggressive bike riding tends to pair with poor bicycling infrastructure.

Where infrastructure is designed for bikes and following the rules is safe and makes sense, then compliance also goes up. This is much of the point that the article was making.

Tipping is so awkward for everyone involved but to get rid of it would upset a large segment of society. It's foremost out of control and I think it's because of greed, which is not a bad thing because everyone wants to get as much money as they can.

The problem is that the greed has exacerbated beyond reasonable greed and now threatens social cohesion, and commerce. The guilt with tipping, or not tipping enough, or when they bring the card swipe to the table and look at you while you tip. It's.. awful. Simply awful.

I am tired of tipping for what seems to be the basic function of a job, then being tacitly or overtly being guilted into tipping more. In my large American city is the reason I don't go out as often.
>My favourite thing about microservice architecture is how simple individual microservices are to understand and contribute to.

I generally agree with your stance and I would add that I find the whole simplistic „microservices suck“ talking point as nonsensical as viewing them as a panacea. They do solve a few specific (for most companies, mostly organizational/human factors because scale and redundancy don’t matter that much) problems that are harder to solve with monoliths.

I still think this point is a bit misleading, because yes, the components become simpler, but their interaction becomes more complex and that complexity is now less apparent. See:

>The architecture and provisioning of microservices can be more complicated, but from the perspective of a developer working on a microservice it should be much simpler to work on compared to a monolith.

I think that perspective often doesn’t match reality. Maybe most microservice domains I‘ve seen had poorly separated domains, but changes small enough to ignore the interactions with other services have been rare in my experience.

I think electric trucks/SUVs are a major reason changing CAFE standards won't actually solve the problem though since they are at least just as big and dangerous to other road users as gas powered vehicles and are often much faster and heavier. Changing the CAFE standards 20 years ago would have helped avoid the trend of increasing vehicle size, but here on the cusp of widespread electric vehicles I'm not sure it would have the same impact.
Maybe those safety rating systems should include the things SUVs are bad at. I think there's one tester who does a body roll test and most SUVs fail to swerve out of the way of something without rolling. Unsure if that's still true. But with that and like a "how likely is your child to be squished dead" rating, maybe people will think twice
In short, the latest versions of LLMs now include many tricks which have long been known to cause confirmation bias in humans.

The reason 4o had a sexy female voice, and giggled, isn't to make it more useful as an assistant. It's because a myriad of psychologists and addiction experts have shown those are the easiest ways to fool people when you're looking for a few billion more VC.

By and large doctors operate independent businesses, so you are tipping them. Of course, doctors working as employees isn't completely unheard of. If you are worried about consistency, then you absolutely should also be tipping those in that situation, but as tipping on employment arrangements is never expected anywhere, not even where alcohol is sold, there is no onus for you to. It is your life to live. Do what you want.

At least in my city, devices were installed in many bike lanes in order to count the number of userd. They show that people do use them.

As for traffic calming, curb extensions, etc.: the city only started adding those modifications after pedestrian fatalities started going up and people started demanding them because they got tired of hearing about deaths all of the time.

None of this is because the city is pro/anti-development since most of the projects could be construed either way. In a lot of cases it was simply to see which measures were effective because we often lack the data to know what will be effective.

> If your data is simple and unimodal, use a boxplot.

How is the reader to know you've used the right plot? How are they to know that you haven't hidden a bimodel dataset behind a box plot because it makes your conclusions easier?

> If the distribution is more complicated and you need some detail, use a histogram or a ridge plot. Violin plots are never the best option; they're curvy so a little more pretty but don't do a good job of conveying information.

They are just multiple, non-overlapping histograms plotted next to each other. They allow you to compare distributions without them getting in the way of each other.

I can understand if it's the fitted PDF that you think hides the original data. That is unnecessary IMHO.

But it can be a very good learning experience for the absolute majority of people.
