What you're describing is just xenophobia, and that certainly a problem with some people, but not everyone, especially not in areas that have high enough demand for specialized stores. Making distinction of different cuisines is not that.

"American grocery stores" also cater to the demographics around them. For example, Safeways in the Bay Area carry all the staples necessary to make Mexican food despite being an "American" grocery store.
Triplit does persist the history of edits to a given attribute but indexes on the latest values makes querying stay fast. However, LWW Registers by nature doesn't actually require storing the history that's just our current implementation that allows clients to sync efficiently even after being offline for a while.

In terms of scaling to a million-ops per day we are probably not quite there yet but one advantage to having the server be the authority is that, in the future, the Triplit server could track the timestamps that each client last synced at and progressively prune the history similar to how Postgres handles VACUUM'ing dead tuples.
Better is something like

find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.jpg" -exec resize 200x200 "{}" "thumbnails/{}" \;

which works for spaces and probably quotes in filenames I am not sure about other special characters.

Is it actually true that "no-one had ever done this before?". As far as I know, the midpoint circle algorithm, being a straightforward extension of Bresenham's line algorithm, was already well-known by 1981. Indeed, here's a paper from 1967 that does basically the same thing: https://academic.oup.com/comjnl/article-pdf/10/3/282/1333509...

I _detest_ this kind of encryption. It's literally worse than useless. It makes life much harder during debugging, and it eventually leads to developers just storing the decryption keys locally.

For this kind of encryption to work, you need to supply the decryption key from some outside system (e.g. via env vars, AWS SSM, etc.). And if it can supply the key, then why not just use it for other important secrets directly?

I spent the last week in Amish country driving essentially Amish roads and neighborhoods all hours of the day.

Friday evening I encountered Amish James Dean. Young single guy in a cart powered by a single horse. He was swanging all over the road, popping in and out of the ditch on purpose with a scowl on his face.

It was crazy. They are usually all smiles and waves.
This is beautifully articulated. I myself thought for a long time that if the day ever came that Assange walks free, I'd cry, but instead I feel a strange emptiness inside. The world isn't the one I'd imagined for this day.

This is a narrow view. What about the ".next" element of a linked list node that's moved to the tail of the list? If you're not using null to indicate end of list, .next is semantically wrong but harmless.

Perhaps a better example is Knuth's Dancing Links. A node is taken out of a larger data structure, pointers left unchanged, because the node will be reinserted later.

"Dangling pointer" is intuitive, but ultimately too broad to have much meaning.

If you've seen some of the Lunar or Martian landing videos, you'll notice that it's very hard to tell the scale. Especially on the Moon, the lack of atmosphere to disturb the surface makes it fractal-like, which probably really messes with the CV algorithm. It'd work fine when high up, but as you approach for landing, it would probably struggle, especially for, say, estimating how far away the surface is.
I think you're dramatically overestimating the percentage of US voters who give a flying shit about Assange.

10 years ago AMD was selling its own headquarters so that it could stave off bankruptcy for another few weeks (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/03/amd-s...).

AMD's software investments have begun in earnest a few years ago, but AMD really did progress more than pretty much everyone else aside from NVidia IMO.

AMD further made a few bad decisions where they "split the bet", relying upon Microsoft and others to push software forward. (I did like C++ Amp for what its worth). The underpinnings of C++Amp led to Boltzmann which led to ROCm, which then needed to be ported away from C++Amp and into CUDA-like Hip.

So its a bit of a misstep there for sure. But its not like AMD has been dilly dallying. And for what its worth, I would have personally preferred C++ Amp (a C++11 standardized way to represent GPU functions as []-lambdas rather than CUDA-specific <<<extensions>>>). Obviously everyone else disagrees with me but there's some elegance to parallel_for_each([](param1, param2){magically a GPU function executing in parallel}), where the compiler figures out the details of how to get param1 and param2 from CPU RAM into GPU (or you use GPU-specific allocators to make param1/param2 in the GPU codespace already to bypass the automagic).

In this analogy, it would be like concluding that "androgyny does not exist."

I'm curious how they handled some of the complicated selection and coding issues around trans and intersex people. Were those groups excluded, or directed in responding in one way or the other? The study is large enough to expect a few of these cases.

The ability to perfectly separate the groups makes me suspicious of a data leakage or methodological error. Perfect accuracy rarely is.

Funny enough, one of the new forks of Wiz can't use components from the other fork of Wiz, but _could_ use web components, because web components work anywhere HTML does.

So MWC actually was their only viable option for Material Design components. I think the Wiz team was desperately trying to find or fund another option because of how bad the managers thought this looked. Maybe you can't get a promotion embracing interoperability.

You might as well say a motor has no moving parts, because it's done with electromagnetic impulses. But that would be absurd.

Obviously the hinge of each disc will wear and tear and eventually fail. Buildups of dust and oil will affect them too and prevent them from flipping. Flipdiscs are as mechanical as mechanical parts get.

You writing in the intro: "...have no moving parts, near limitless lifespan..." is just not credible.

And if I'm being entirely honest, that's where I stopped reading your post, because you simply didn't seem trustworthy. You might want to focus more an accuracy rather than hyperbole if you want to maintain readers.

Technically speaking both values are preserved in the history but only one "wins" because each attribute is a last-writer-wins register. This works for most use cases e.g. you wouldn't want two concurrent edits to checkbox to leave it simultaneous true AND false state.

However, when it comes to collaborative text you're absolutely right and support is on our roadmap. A researcher in this space has already implemented his collaborative sequence library on top of Triplit with the Quill text editor and you can check it out here: https://github.com/mweidner037/list-positions-demos/tree/mas...
"Holy Grail" and "Life of Brian" hold up especially well. I think it's not a coincidence that both of those are set in the past. Some jokes are less effective now, since of course none of it is really about the past, but much of it references mythical material that's still current.

I concur that their other material holds up less well, in part because they themselves didn't always seem to know which jokes were going to land. They had a fondness for absurdism, much of which wasn't even all that good when it was new. But some sketches, like the Lumberjack Song or the Spam sketch, just seemed to click, and still work.

The software vendor and this engineer looks like it should have done more to speak out on the problems, but the real villain here was the Post Office who actually pursued the prosecutions despite knowing from basically the beginning about significant problems.

The vendor can't bring a prosecution, so this looks like an attempt to obscure the real villain to some degree.

The distinction between Biden and Trump is that Trump is opposed to the machine that's been responsible for decades of disastrous foreign policy, while Biden is the face of that very same machine.

Putin is far from the only foreign leader who would prefer Trump. It's silly to attempt this framing.

Snort. Yeah, so, back in the late 90s, I met the CTO for ICL (later acquired by Fujitsu, but it was basically what was then left of the 'British IBM'), after evaluating their Visual Basic 5-based front-end software for a day or two, at the instigation of Microsoft UK.

VB5 was not an entirely horrific choice for an UI running on Windows touchscreen hardware at the time, but the project was riddled with basic mistakes, like blocking foreground threads with long-running background operations, and, mostly, threading model mismatches between UI and back-end code (which was all C++, but not the good kind -- and oh, it implemented some weird distributed messaging bus, where you could do just about anything, but nothing really worked, especially not if the ISDN-based network was acting up...).

My recommendation was to upgrade to VB6, which made multi-threaded foreign function calls at least reliable-ish, to re-do the entire calling surface of the C++ libraries accordingly, plus to significantly improve documentation, since literally nobody seemed to know which calls did exactly what (as in: which parameters they required and what they returned) and how to handle retries.

The guy literally listened to me for 30 seconds (possibly less!), then turned around, and told his minions to escort me out and "get someone who understands what we're doing here". Well...
1. All pistols (except revolvers) are semi-automatic.

2. High capacity is not a descriptor of a gun, but of the magazine holding the bullets.

This is why archiving is so important.

Imo journalists should be allowed and should (honestly I don't know if they are or not, probably not) repost their stories on their own personal websites.

You never have any assurance that the parent company that buys you will care about the same things you care about. More often than not they're looking for particular segments and everything else is just baggage.
It's hard to know how predominate views will change, but it is certain that they will change. If views change, the future generations must, by necessity, see us as wrong on some dimension(s) or else their views would have remained the same.

So I think the need to be able to look at past generations and "hear them out" (i.e. not cancel them, take the good, leave the bad, etc.) is important regardless of how well we project out the future.
The illusion of a neutral global institution like the UN is a result of US hegemony too. They could not tolerate international courts but prosecute Assange...

I would go even further and blame the state of the developing countries on the west too, because their selfish competetivly oriented globalisation left them as vasals since the end of colonization.

This is actually the sadest part, what will remain of this hegemony: a world order made by and for the corrupt. Maybe china makes it better since they resisted IMF, WHO, etc but i have my doubts.

I think that I couldn't disagree more with this point. Riffing and building on existing cultural artifacts does not erase them. Nobody's telling Hans Christian Andersen to shut up, and nobody's telling publishers to stop publishing him, and readership of The Snow Queen - the original version - is presumably much greater now than it was in 2012. My kids have specifically asked for it, while I wasn't even aware it existed as a child.

On the other hand, the implied message of people who complain about modern retellings is that they should not exist. (What else can it be?) And if they have their way, something absolutely would be lost: the ability of these stories to continue to participate in living culture.

The more I read of this the more I think it’s the legal system that’s really at fault here. Any developer that says “trust me, the software works” can’t be trusted. I feel like every user of software has experienced this fact. I feel like they should need third party code audits, field testing and generally a much higher burden of proof such to actually rule out software bugs sufficiently to jail someone.

I worked for a company that really focused on a specific algorithm question in the interview. The correct solution required solving a pretty complex indefinite integral, which basically selected for people with a math or physics background (I was cut some slack for not solving it because I was an intern). Hence, the company was full of really smart physicists who didn't know modern software practices. Eventually they folded because even though they had really impressive demos, they couldn't scale and produce a working product.
