Its not quite that, the thing you're describing is called helicity. Helicity and chirality are closely related, they're the same if your particle is massless for example, but for massive particles they aren't the same.

Imagine I have a particle which is spinning in the same direction as its linear momentum (so positive helicity) but then I speed myself up really fast so now I'm going faster than it. Its linear momentum (to me) appears to have switched sign but its spin hasn't so the helicity has flipped.

Chirality is a more complicated thing which avoids this "problem" with helicity. Chirality doesn't change when the observer changed velocity.

Wow, so it doesn't just come down to using md5, but not using md5-hmac (which is still secure to this day). I only skimmed the paper so maybe i misunderstand, but that would have been considered bad practise even back in the 90s when md5 was considered secure, right?

> I don't think anyone is telling consumers that they need to use AI now

I dont understand how you could say that. The very article we are discussing here is a followup to a marketing op-ed about how AI "is uniquely capable" of improving your health, yet the best answer they can provide to serious question about privacy is "maybe the laws should change".

They are directly asking the consumers to vote to change laws in a way that benefits their product, before they even know if it's an app.
> Many years ago, I installed and managed OpenWRT on my routers, […] but I grew tired of the maintenance and keeping up. It had moved from hobby and became a job. I was full-time network administrator for my own house.

Wait, what??

I check OpenWRT once every several months for a new release, and if one exists I spend an hour or two updating my gateway and wireless bridges. There is no extensive maintenance needed even when running multiple servers behind it.

Honestly, I run two VM platforms, a dozen or so VMs, several workstations and a mess of personal machines and devices, and I think I’ve spent half a day on my network in the last year.
Ah, the endless mysteries of git. People say, "It's so simple once you understand the base model." And yet there are these inevitable buts. And somehow, people keep arguing over how to use it, what is the Correct Way. If it were that simple, the One True methodology would be obvious, yet the disagreements continue. Then I ask dumb questions about merging and have yet to hear how the magic happens, just very circular "merging ... merges" answers.

One day I hope to have a positive and comprehensible experience involving git and perhaps even git and another programmer, but that might be too much to ask.
Nordic countries mandate that private electric companies move their cables (last mile and between power stations) underground, even in rural areas to reduce likelihood of outages.

The process has been ongoing for many years now. One way to incentivize it is to mandate high reimbursements to customers on outage.

I wish manufacturers would use AA/AAA batteries more to power their thingy. Now they make USB rechargeable AA/AAA batteries. These batteries are standard, cheap, can be bought everywhere and are easily replaceable.

My Logitech MX Master 3S is a great mouse. It has everything I want in a mouse but no standard battery. Not even replaceable (no screws, everything glued together). I dread the day the battery will die. Then the mouse is just junk to be tossed in a landfill.

I had to use my old TI89 calculator the other day. Took it out of the drawer where it has been sitting for maybe 10 years. Insert some 4 AAA batteries that I took from my remote and my thermometer station and it just works.

I cannot work without taking notes. It is a process of thinking, sorting my ideas, documenting steps and outcomes, pausing, practicing meta-cognition, gaining clarity and confidence along the process. Plus I have the benefit to go back to my notes and have instant access to what I did days, months, years ago. So I can’t understand how people are working without taking notes, documenting (for themselves), and journaling.
A big difference between how BASIC was designed, and how many got introduced to it on 8 bit platforms, is that Dartmouth BASIC is compiled, not interpreted.

It uses a approach similar to Lisp REPLs of the time.
I use Emacs Org Mode with Org Roam for journaling. I’ve customized it extensively to fit my workflow, but there is a risk. Unlike paper, in Emacs there’s a potential distraction lurking around every thought, every entry, even every keystone. I’ve tried going to paper many times to mitigate the risk, but it never sticks. I’m too far down the hole and habituated to change. But if I were starting over, I would choose paper and stay with it. When journaling, you want no distractions. Nothing beats paper.
Nextjs just deconstruct the React, and build their own stuff
No?

The first solution was immediately plain. I did not think about it. I did not read about it. I just looked at it because my eyes were drawn to it, and and the solution was simply present for me.

I did think about the second one (the allegedly-simpler one) for a very brief moment.

And then, I read the words.

But it took me longer to read and parse "is just this with extra wall material in each cell" than either of those two maze-interpretation events consumed.

(I do not think that I am a particularly slow reader.)
I was intrigued by this paragraph:

> Making all of the opcode implementations the same size (padding to the size of the largest opcode implementation with .balign 256), then removing the jump table entirely. This was also slower, also probably because of cache friendliness: the opcode implementations go from 16.6 KiB total to 64 KiB.

Probably normalizing the opcode implementations length to the maximum length is not optimal. A possible experiment would be to normalize to the modal length. I would expect most opcodes to be arithmetic or logic operations and to share the same implementation length. The (hopefully few) more complex ones would need a trampoline.

Is this a crazy idea?
Ah, back in the day the FBI would pay our CTO $5000/hr to talk to and work with him. On top of that we would charge them a monthly colo fee for their equipment that collected data of customers.

I don't know why people don't just use Lua. It's extremely small, can be embedded only with the Lua modules you want it to include (e.g. you do not need to provide file system access, networking etc. making it similar to CEL, just better), can be compiled to every possible target being written in standard C, is very mature and is completely open source.

This began a lot more on third party sites like stubhub due to Covid and the massive amount of cancellations; before most places paid out after the sale, and if the buyer wound up having an issue (due to the seller mistake, selling it multiple times, whatever) they would charge the seller and usually assess a penalty.

But when everything in the world was being cancelled I assume they didn't have all the money just sitting around to reverse and it was a ton of thrash to deal with. As someone who had bought tons of tickets and sold some, it was a mess. I had a ton of credit card refunds back, the third party sites had to reverse payments, etc.

Waiting until after the event is just less overhead. Guarantees the transaction happened without a hitch.

There are some POS and broker sites that still pay on transfer, but none of the "primary" secondary market does.

You pointed out how there are guidelines for holding that information, I'm saying there are consequences [1]. I'm following that up by saying that the consequences for mishandling customer information are not nearly as severe. They do not result in 6 figure fines.

I'm saying the severe consequences to mishandling CC data have led to the incredible disparity shown in the first paragraph

> Make sure you review your own code changes

The author says he reviews himself on a GitLab MR / GitHub PL, I rely on two things for this:

- git add -p, which also helps me split stuff in several commits if needed. It bothers me that it doesn't work for new files.

- git difftool dir-diff for changes with several commits

I like that it would work on any git hosting, and that it works locally. And that I can just amend my commits if I see something.

Could you explain why?
I love Calvin and Hobbes. However Dylan played a role in political and human rights movements at a key time. I don’t see this sort of influence in Calvin and Hobbes and Watterson was apparently fired from one job for his lack of political knowledge (assuming the wikipedia entry is correct).

Not taking sides here, but does anyone actually think that people will use strictly opt-in features at all? They went to the trouble to develop it so if you were them, why should it be so hidden as to have barely any users?

I feel the same way about debugging telemetry... it's so valuable for developers and yet people want to see you hang if it's not (at best) a manual opt-in, but they don't care that it won't be used by anyone in that case.

> We don't have any more ability to test a CO detector than you!

I'm sure you're technically correct.

But if you want to, then it's easy to test CO detectors. Industries do it all the time. You just buy spray cans with known CO concentrations ("bump gas") and check that they go off when sprayed.

> Please don't call 911 unless you have an actual emergency.

Sure. But if the city decides to prioritize fire safety, then CO detector testing would be a good preventative measure that can be offered to the local residents.

Good CO safety is more than just the detector working. It's also about placement in the room, how many in each apartment/building, etc.

On top of that, the more the fire department interacts with the local residents, the more they can educate them about all kinds of fire safety matters (do you have a fire blanket in easy reach in the kitchen when cooking with oils?).

It also provides a relaxed way of fixing fire hazards (please don't stack unused furniture in front of the fire exit).
i never read the change logs, so just found out the concept of daily notes it looks pretty cool and might be what i need. Do you use any other templates?
Tangentially related, I've been rather disappointed with the advances coming from software since communication was solved at some point in the early 2000s.

Software mainly seems to enable new business models, of which some tangentially improve our quality of life, others are actively harmful. Contrasting this to advances in technologies like solar panels or electric cars almost makes me wish I had chosen a different career path.
No overtimes, no unreasonable deadlines, lots of paid leave. In my home country employees have 20 days of paid leave by default but many companies compete by offering more.

Flexible working ours is also a sign for a good work/life balance because you can adapt your work to your life and not only vice versa.
Why should users opt in to a feature if they perceive it has no value to them?
So what developers should be asking is how they can make it directly valuable to the user to enable the feature. User led not business led.

Reliability ratings, notifying of fixed reported crashes, improvements in performance telemetry etc

Mmm, yeah on reading the paper more closely it seems like they don't make essential use of the concept really. It's more of a descriptor of the mechanics of their combinator language.

Personally I'm fine with that - I have no issue with CS people borrowing terminology from category theory to describe stuff, so long as the analogy is reasonable. But I get where you're coming from - having learned some CT in (grad) school, I used to find Haskell wikis confusing as heck because they use CT terminology but nobody clarifies what category they're actually working in!
Thats a terrible analogy. Maybe if a bio-fuel plant used 50% of the vegan food to produce “green fuel”

Hi all, after a month of beta testing Peek Weather https://indiegoodies.com/weather
on Testflight, I've done several iterations already and want to share with you today

First, why do we need another weather app? I built this for several reasons

Where I live in Oslo, the default Apple weather app does not give correct forecast and I have to rely on a local app to get forecast

I don't feel like any weather apps outside, either they are complicated and confusing. Their UI is plain and not clear, it takes time to tell whether an a number is degree or hour or day.

I want the app to look like we look at the sky. When we look outside, we see the sky, the sun, and when it's raining, we see rain. At night, we see night sky. I always wish a weather app to look just like that

So I'm happy to build Peek Weather with scrollable weather forecast, a handy widget, the ability to pick precise location on map, plenty weather effect, quotes for the hour and some easter eggs in the app if you can find it

Key Features:

Beautiful Interface: Enjoy a visually stunning design that enhances your weather checking experience.

Multiple Weather Sources: support Apple WeatherKit, MET Norway, and more to come

Interactive Graphs: Easily visualize detailed hourly and daily forecasts with interactive and intuitive graphs.

Detail day and hourly view: sun rise range, moon phase, wind speed and uv index with recommendations

Precise Location Search: Find weather information for any location worldwide using our precise map picker.

Comprehensive Forecasts: Get important weather details at a glance, including precipitation, wind speed, UV index, and more.

Intuitive weather effect: rain, snow, sun rise, sun set, moon phase, night sky

Plenty of fancy backgrounds for different occasions

Easter eggs: Find the rising star and enjoy surprise quotes

Ad-Free Experience: Enjoy uninterrupted weather updates without any ads.

The app is totally free, and support 2 weather sources for now. Due to the cost paying for weather services and backend, you can update the data 2 times day. For premium, you can have more frequent updates.

Please check it out, if you want to be join Testflight to check new features early, please don't hestitate to DM me.
The problem is that Lua is Turing complete, so you can write programs that don't halt or which take an input-dependent duration to halt. Example:

while true do
print("meow?")
end

In contrast, each CEL expression has a maximum depth which directly determines how long it takes to execute. (More precisely: by calculating the maximum costs up the expression tree from leaves to root.)

I am not sure that INSEE had a very precise vision of the French population at that time, after all, France was mostly a rural country and IT did not appear in French administrations until around thirty years later, in the 1970s. As a former colleague once told me, it is more than likely that the data was "intuited" most of the time (to be clear: completely fabricated).

While I know nothing about the work of René Carmille, from what I was told it's that in most cases it was neighbors who denounced Jews, and you could be denounced even if you were not a Jew, but have some disagreement with someone.

Equally in the same proportion, and sometimes by the same people, Jews and more largely all opponents to Nazis, including English or US plane aviators, were hidden by people (one of my grandmothers did it for Jews).

It was a complicated time, with no clear delineation between "good" and "bad" people.

Disappointing behaviour by Mozilla, but not hugely surprising.

It's also rather suspicious that the setting to disable this seems to be somewhat hidden. If I go to settings and search for "advertising" then I get:

But if I browse to it manually in then the setting is there, in the section named "Website Advertising Preferences". And the search definitely includes section titles, because if I search for "collection" then it shows that section of the Privacy & Security settings, with a highlight on the text on the title.
