This isn't anymore "flat" that then TLD nameservers like com., net., etc. It's just one level down.

ICANN could certainly afford to run servers for a "flat" TLD system.

The problem for ICANN is that it will sour relations with all the existing TLD registrars, and there are security problems with allowing any TLD. For example, I might be able to redirect traffic for a particular local network host name (e.g. "router", "fileserver", "raspberrypi", "linksys", etc.) to an external IP address of my choosing. Or I can make something that is normally a local file (e.g. "cmd.exe") and make it also a valid hostname.
I would say integrated circuits in general are not incapable of reason by design, even if some examples may be. Somehow a bunch of meat and fat is capable of reason, even if my steak isn't.

I haven't heard anything about NK, I wouldn't worry about Russia, NK, or Iran - that gets played up in the media for reasons. I've only heard things about Taiwan that seem credible.
It is based on only historical data, by definition.

It cannot be 'outdated and unreliable' (due to future expectations), because that's not how it's defined.

And it's not how engineering design processes work. (Google LRFD or ASD)

'Now' means the historical data that is current as of design.

You are merely setting a design criteria benchmark. Based on historical data.

If you want to account for future uncertainty, it goes into the other side of the design equations, via the factors and probabilities.

But more fundamentally, picking a 1/500 design storm already takes into account certain aspects of risk levels, and has nothing to do with expected lifetime or survivability. You can and do often pick design storm intervals that greatly exceed design-lifetime, for various reasons.

Memory Safety in C++ vs. Rust vs. Zig
There are no missiles capable of loitering. (And if there were then they be essentially like airplanes and air dominance is what matters.) As such land launched missiles are mostly useless against carriers in open seas. By the time the missile reaches the carrier group the group will have moved position.

It’s hard to find a specific ship in open seas. The Russian navy suffers from a lack of combined arms and force protection. A carrier battle group is far more capable of defense than the Russian navy in the Black Sea.

I don’t believe you are well versed in modern naval operations. I’m not either but the fact that France, UK, Brazil, India, and China have aircraft carriers suggests they aren’t obsolete. Carriers are well protected. Not invincible.

The reference to Midway is odd because without aircraft carriers the U.S. would have lost the battle. Likewise, without carriers the Japanese would not have stood a chance.
This kind of dogmatism is why people think Rust will be impossible to adopt. All `unsafe` means is that the code inside the block doesn't have Rust's guarantees and should be inspected extra carefully by hand, much the same as you'd ideally inspect every single line of C. If sprinkling `unsafe` everywhere allows an organization to quickly adopt Rust's guarantees elsewhere and they're aware of that caveat (hard not to be given the naming) that can only be a net improvement over doing the entire thing in C.

You can always go through and systematically remove unnecessary `unsafe` later if needed, but there's no need to do so upfront if that would prevent adoption.
It's informed speculation. As industry grows, economies of scale delivers a stable learning curve. We saw it in solar panels and lightbulbs, and we're seeing it in batteries of various chemistries.
> would to my first- and secondhand knowledge at the very least exclude Mexican and Italian cuisine from being distinct. Neither one really exists as a coherent cuisine in the way you seem to imagine, and if you talk to a native of those countries they'll very quickly tell you that the foods you think of as "Mexican" or "Italian" are actually from specific regions of those countries.

I don't know Mexico well enough to comment, but yeah there absolutely isn't a unified "Italian" culture (perhaps there is the beginnings of one) and it's a mistake to think of one (not just in food but in other matters as well). Just as there is no "Chinese" food, there are several distinct Chinese food cultures.

> Your second requirement—that it be not eaten elsewhere—would likewise exclude every major exported food culture. Do the Italians no longer get to claim spaghetti because an American mom makes it as a quick dish at home for her kids?

At some point it just becomes generic food yeah, just like trademarks. I'm sure for the first people to bake bread it was a unique cultural food, but it would be madness to call that Mesopotamian food now, it's just food.
I mostly just accept not really knowing, though I do have some ideas.
Yes. Brave's crypto scam is a problem, and they've done some very controversial things in that regard. Like taking "money" on behalf of sites that didn't even participate.
The American consumer lacks the discipline needed to boycott products and services that merely harm the consumer, which is amusing considering how effective the American consumer is at boycotting products and services offered by companies with views which offend the consumer.
Non-human-readable primary representation may be not the best idea though. Would create a lot of friction when trying to process the data. Text is largely simple and obvious (yes I know there are complications but in 99% of cases you can ignore them without too much trouble) but DBs and ASTs are not. People read texts, but they can't read ASTs, at least not without assistance. So it'd be hard to use.
I think there is a fundamental psychological and social engineering element to Marxism that many socialists gloss over. The end state is one of voluntary labor, contribution and exchange.

human desire can outstrip any gains of productive capacity, and includes factors which can not simply be produced. Marx didn't envision everyone owning palaces and yachts post scarcity. He imagined people having enough to get by with moderate comfort for an 1800's standard of living.

Similarly, in the 1930s, Keynes imagined that humans would live lives of leisure as productivity doubled every 20 years. However, the human hunger for material comforts is bottomless.

I think the truly radical part of Marxist end state communism is the idea that people will outgrow desire for "more" if more is an option.

Without this, there will always be squabbling over who gets what. It is this human drive that draws socialism down into totalitarianism.
it's very by design on that example. maps.google.com also stopped working a long time ago.

> Coriander/cilantro is very good for sound mental health. Refer to PMC10385770.

This is a really bad summary of the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10385770/

To give the TL;DR of the paper:

Psychiatric diseases bad. Coriandrum sativum has some chemicals in it that in some case interact with some things related to some psychiatric diseases.

There are "scarce" (zero?) studies of this, so this "represents an area of opportunity to test the efficacy of the plant as an anxiolytic, antidepressant, antiepileptic, or sleep enhancer."

So: no evidence that it works, just some possible future work.

Maybe it works, maybe it makes things worse. No one knows and PMC10385770 doesn't show either way.
it seems like companies did this to avoid someone else getting the TLD. Does this sound right?

I don't think he would've done things differently really. He was also part of the same old guard and wasn't exactly aiming for some radical changes inside Mozilla. Imo one of the only things that could've made Firefox more relevant would've been to focus on an electron alternative, especially early on in 2013-14 as it would've been an entirely new "product segment", which could've made Firefox the standard engine for a lot of apps. But there's no indication that anyone high up at Firefox wanted to do something like that. It's a non-profit and non profits are rather conservative, for better or for worse.

This exists as wifi-connected scales with Bottomless[1].

My gut reaction is that Bottomless is laughably absurd, an IoT device and middleman in search of a problem. But I’m trying to analyze it fairly. In what circumstance is this better than a normal product subscription that allows skips?

Anyone actually used it or know someone that uses it loyally?

> How can you realistically build out storage when the bulk of current storage is pumped hydr

You build batteries like what California is doing.

> possibility of length, geographically vast "cold snaps"

The correlation between renewables drops off literally exponentially as a function of distance, creating a diversification effect that makes this situation sufficiently rare. The bigger the land mass, the better. You also overbuild by a bit to handle droughts, and curtail in normal periods. In the circumstances that it still happens, you use natural gas as a backstop, or you use long-duration clean storage like hydrogen (which remains more hypothetical/expensive currently, but that will change).
That seems to be some decent thoughts, but who is Yann LeCun? Just another proprietary software star, a proprietary software unlike FOSS suffers from exactly same "secrecy" issues as rest of the Science as described by the man. Capitalism, capitalism is never changes.

Probably. Our security team insists that we purchase ourname.[everything]. Not a stretch to imagine that the risk / cyber teams of those large organisations were thinking along the same lines.
Not just ICANN, but how many technical systems are optimized for having a few hundred TLDs? Going to millions / billions seems like it’s likely to uncover a lot of implementation shortcuts.

Not necessarily a reason not to do it, just a reason to be a little careful in rollout.

If you're interested in the dynamic in this area of the country, I highly recommend the 2022 game Norco[1]. It's really more of a piece of literature than a game, and it tries to capture the dynamic of the folks who rely upon a similar plant in LA for their livelihoods.

The model doesn't "understand" anything, but if you, the programmer, understands it well enough, that can be enough to direct it to find a solution.

You can do a lot with ChatGPT or Claude if wrong code is easy to spot (which will obviously depend on what you're working on). If you can easily spot mistakes these things can often come up with a fix once you point it out. I've had some real success converting small-scale production C++ code into Python using Claude. Stuff that isn't really deep or complicated, but it's still faster and less annoying using an LLM to assist. I am sure there are large domains where it's crap, but for relatively simple stuff (CRUD logic, simple file parsing) it does remarkably well.
Syncfusion Blazor Image Editor is a user interface that allows users to edit images. It provides a range of built-in tools for rotating, flipping, zooming, and cropping images on user-selected areas. Additionally, it includes functionality to insert annotations, including text, freehand drawings, and various shapes like rectangles, ellipses, lines, paths, and arrows. The component also includes filters and fine-tuning options to enhance the images. It supports keyboard interactions and events and provides a user-friendly interface optimized for touch interactions.
In this blog, we’ll explore the new features added to the Blazor Image Editor component as part of the Essential Studio 2024 Volume 2 release.

refactoring those unsafe will never happen in the kind of place that put them in place to begin with.
Those .new TLDs have specific requirements as in you are required to use it for creating a new "YOUR_DOMAIN" resource.

Maps is a little weird because while originally they were bundling maps and search and a bunch of products together they have had to back off on that strategy due to the recent antitrust concerns and bundling so now they are purposefully separating the products and the domains further.
Offering privacy first OS would make perfect sense.
I spent an hour defending (keeping the boxes unchecked) a 5x5 grid. I spent that time because of what happened. Others began helping defend the same grid. I have no idea how many people joined, but checkmarks on any of the 25 boxes in the grid often disappeared before I could react.

And at multiple points there were waves of counter-attacks, where unseen forces would parry and stay focused upon checking as many boxes within the grid as possible.

I found it sociologically fascinating despite having no clue of its sociological meaning or significance. Just that checkmarks on a certain 5x5 grid amongst a million suddenly came alive and engaged in grid warfare.

Historical data only.

Rule of thumb is usually 30 yrs minimum of records/data from usgs/ nws or similar weather stations. But it's often less.

Then it's just a probability eqn, and there are various rules for making adjustments based on things like distance away from the weather gages.

But the more fundamental thing is you are setting a static design benchmark, not a future or perpetual target.

Once that benchmark is set, you apply factors/probabilities of various failure modes.

Or you can just choose a larger design-storm.

But you don't say 'I'm designing for what the 2025 or 2074 or 2124 100-yr storm will be'.
Maybe no longer true today, but with the right tools, C# and VB.NET used to be auto translatable from each other and IL can be decompiled to either.
I’ve used search domains in corporate networks, yes it’s still a thing and fully supported. I’d always tell somebody to type [name][forward-slash] in their browser, like ‘jira/‘ to get to our internal Jira server, which would always convince the browser to actually do a DNS lookup and not a search. Worked well.

I liked alway having a rule in the web server to redirect to the fully qualified hostname on requests to the internal ones, so links could be shared and would always work even if the search domain wasn’t set up (could happen on the VPN for example).
I think that’s true but I also think maybe some companies set this up hoping to differentiate their brand with a slick branded TLD before realizing that no one wants to use it. To the general public a .com gives you trust.

I would hazard to guess that plenty of spam filters would nope these too.

Random question (genuine, I do not know if it's possible):

> I decided to have each particle be represented by 4 numbers an x, y, dx, and dy. These will each be 32-bit floating point numbers.

Would it be possible to encode this data into a single JS number (53-bit number, given that MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is 2^53 - 1 = 9,007,199,254,740,991). Or -3.4e38 to 3.4e38, which is the range of the Float32Array used in the blog.

For example, I understand for the screen position you might have a 1000x1000 canvas, which can be represented with 0-1,000,000 numbers. Even if we add 10 sub-pixel divisions, that's still 100,000,000, which still fits very comfortably within JS.

Similar for speed (dx, dy), I see you are doing "(Math.random()*2-1)*10" for calculating the speed, which should go from -10,+10 with arbitrary decimal accuracy, but I wonder if limiting it to 1 decimal would be enough for the simulation, which would be [-10.0, +10.0] and can also be converted to the -100,+100 range in integers. Which needs 10,000 numbers to represent all of the possible values.

If you put both of those together, that gives 10,000 * 100,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000 (1T) numbers needed to represent the particles, which still fits within JS' MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. So it seems you might be able to fit all of the data for a single particle within a single MAX_SAFE_INTEGER or a single Float32Array element? Then you don't need the stride and can be a lot more sure about data consistency.

It might be that the encoding/decoding of the data into a single number is slower than the savings in memory and so it's totally not worth it though, which I don't know.
Can a Generated Column read data from a JSONB column? That'd be really cool, but I'm not familiar enough with generated columns to know.
My whole point is that short-term rental bans aren't going to fix the fundamental problem, which is the lack of housing supply. It's just a feel-good measure to make politicians look like they're doing something useful, and sticking it to the tourists makes angry locals feel better. The parent comment I initially replied to showed how the math doesn't work: adding housing for ~25k people in a city with 1.6M people isn't going to make some huge difference in housing costs.

If you want stable housing prices, the answer is very simple: copy Japan. Stop restricting the construction of new housing units, and fix the regulations so housing developers can build more units for people to live in. It's the same story in cities around the world, except in Japan, because all these other places want to restrict the supply of housing, usually using the argument about local voter's "rights" and their prerogative to make regulations restricting housing. This is exactly what the NIMBYs in the SanFran bay area have been doing, to "protect" their property values, and the result is astronomical housing costs.
