Well let’s see the author used Rust because they had used it in another context recently. And you seem to raise your hand because you’ve used Julia recently.

Nonsense. Paris is already a huge tourism destination that benefits greatly from tourist $.
The ambiguity is not in the favor of anyone except lawyers. As an employee, you can:

1) Spend $100k in litigation to discover your boss owns the code

2) Get $20

Fights don't benefit anyone. Some companies would act like dicks and "ask for as much as they could get to remove it," but in most cases, that's not what happens either. A company like that would never get repeat business. Coincidentally, some employees do the same, with similar consequences. And there are employers everyone knows not to work for.

Resolving this sort of thing for a buck -- in the way a court would rule -- is really standard common-sense practice.

Anecdotally and absolutely not production experience here, but I've had a Synology device running btrfs for 7 or 8 years now. Only issue I ever had is when I shipped it cross country with the drives in it, but was able to recover just fine.

This includes plenty of random power losses.
Not quite… in the most common version of chessboxing it’s more a case of alternating between the chess & the boxing via, say, a 3 minute timer from the start of each “round”. You do need to be very careful moving the chess board in/out of the ring between rounds so as not to upset any of the pieces but otherwise play just continues round by round until checkmate or knockout (or TKO or a clock falls etc.)

It's not "clearly" against Russian interests given that Russia was already withholding supply with a myriad of various transparent excuses at the time, and using their German-based but Russian-owned companies to prevent Germany from stockpiling natural gas (they owned the storage), which ultimately resulted in Germany nationalizing those companies.

I use runit to manage various service groups for projects (e.g. last week, everything I was running at Bornhack camp). It simply does what it needs to do. It can be used in any context and doesn't need to take over the system. I recommend trying it out, especially if you think the complexity of systemd is needed.
Because being good/competent at EVERYTHING is harder than being great at any one thing for a computer, since generality requires fluid intelligence but a single specialist skill can be achieved through brute force search, as we've seen over and over again from DeepBlue 30 years ago to the present time.

In the meantime, while DeepBlue beat the world chess champion, Kasparov, at chess, our best efforts at generalism - LLMs than many (not me!) think are the path to AGI - struggle to play tic tac toe.
You didn't have to invade Ukraine, yet you did. Besides, it's not like Russia keeps sports and politics separate. They don't, they never have. Why do you think state-sponsored doping has historically been big in Russia and Soviet Union? Obviously, because sports is an important vector of propaganda for the state.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone
In human play, white has somewhere between 0.25 - 0.5 pawn advantage. There's evidence that at higher ELO's, the advantage declines but it's not clear what the lower bound is.

So for top players (and even more-so for top chess engines), the white advantage isn't enough to translate to a win.

In human play, the top players often need to play suboptimal moves to convert a win. Magnus Carlsen is probably the most famous for doing this. The point is to break away from the well studied lines, and play something that other pros aren't familiar with.

Basically: It's not clear that white's small advantage actually counts for much, at least at the very top tiers of chess.

Changing the game in such a way that white and black odds become even more balanced, would just lead to more draws - which I personally would think makes the game less interesting.
If someone is at the level where they need 10-20 papers to understand a topic, they are not at the level where they are even capable of asking a specific enough question. In their case, doing the hard work and sifting though 100s of papers is the best way to train themselves to think critically and thoroughly evaluate whether a paper is relevant to them.

There is also the real fact that the greatest discoveries usually come from obscure corners and reading as much as you can is the only way to explore those corners. Otherwise, you're just refining what was done before you
Every smart person on the planet works towards nuclear weapons. It's self evident, it doesn't need source.

I am talking very about small nukes, cheap, minimal and for personal use as a self defense. Two grams of gold cheap, 1 km evaporation range and 5 km blast.

Very minimal, but as soon as millions of people have one, gather a lot of them in one place and you do some serious damage.

This lady seriously suggests that millions of Thai's will have their personal nukes, millions of Mongolians or Brazilians will have small nuclear weapons each, but Greeks will not, because Greeks are lazy somehow. I don't know where she reads that stuff, probably some comic series.

Great update. Unfortunately, the limitation of push notifications to 10 members puts it into the B- category of self-hosted OSS for me. I understand that costs do exist by providing a push service, but forcing Orgs into the same plan as everyone else kind of feels like it's an intentionally set boundary to lurk people in and then force them to go all-in. I'd much rather see another tier that only includes the cost for push notifications.

The reason is mostly that sales wants to someone who walks in the door the first time to walk out. If someone wants to custom order a car the 10^180 possible combinations isn't that big a deal, but there is no way to have that many cars on every lot and so sales demands it.

Yes less different models does save a little but of cost, but it isn't that much overall.
Thanks, I overlooked that
Ocaml types are USED by the compiler to generate FAST code.

TS types are IGNORED by the JIT to generate SLOW code.

All the features that make Typescript more ergonomic for devs also allow it to generate slower JS code. AssemblyScript tries to be TS for WASM and it doesn't support huge swaths of TS because they output unusably slow garbage.

I also suspect that more than a few Ocaml ergonomic issues are due to nominal typing. StandardML's structural typing and inference give an experience very similar to TS, but without the major soundness issues (though it must be noted that ANY generics in JS will be slow unless the compiler is creating multiple function variants).

I haven't worked in automotive. And I'm not a strong advocate of exhaustive model-driven design like what's shown at that link. But it's worth looking at.

Generally if you have a state machine or state chart with more than a few states, it's worth implementing as a table. The "config format" is then an array in a source file. There is a standard interchange format, scxml, for statechart tooling and libraries, but if you're implementing your state machine directly from a whiteboard drawing, you might not bother with it.

While technically correct, it's also misleading, because there's a new bidding process that aims to eliminate contests. There's now a "Continuous Dialogue" with everybody interested, and IOC then uses opaque criteria to select "Preferred Hosts" for "Targeted Dialogue".

Heh. It figures. Sometimes when I see things like that I wonder if it's featherbedding and gatekeeping. If it looks too straightforward, people might not think what you do is very hard. See the schematic discussion elsewhere in this thread for another example
While there were initially 5 bids for the 2024 olympics, 3 of those were withdrawn before the session to look at them even started.

Given the spate of withdrawals, and that half the bids had also been withdrawn for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the IOC decided to just allocate 2024 and 2028 directly to the two bidders left to not take risks over 2028.

There are no calls for nuclear war. And it's wild to call warmongers people who want action to stop appeasement of the warmonger on the global stage, Russia.

There is plenty circumstantial evidence Russia was behind this, and they're the only ones that make sense. I've listed tons of it in sibling comments, but just the fact that multiple Russians were arrested in the past few weeks plotting against the olympics, including a guy who set himself on fire with chemicals in his hotel rooms, it's obvious Russia wants to cause disruptions.

We'll see when the results of the investigation come out, but when they do say Russia, what do you think an appropriate answer would be?

Founders: Stop Obsessing over Deep Work
I don’t think it was related. This incident would predate those by 4-5 years.
But there are differences.

For example, Asian theocracies understand their mission as a state and its government as furthering whatever bizarre ideas they gleamed from the scripture. They are often clan-ish in organization, but this only reflects the history of how they came to be that way, that isn't the goal.

When it comes to the European politicians, they may be very corrupt lying scumbags, but in order to get elected they need to put on a show pretending to act in the interest of the country they want to rule.

When it comes to Russia: they are simply criminals. They don't need to pretend to want to make their country better off. Not in the sense the same corrupt lying European politician would. In prison terms, they try to prove themselves as the higher cast. As those who are allowed (and even required) to humiliate the lower cast.

It's highly unlikely that Russian intelligence service is anything special. But they aren't the ones calling the shots that's for sure. They are just a part of the country-sized prison.

We had been following (and sponsoring) Zig since 2018, for 2 years before I chose Zig for TigerBeetle in 2020.

At TigerBeetle, we have a technical value called "Edge", which refers to "the ability to make quality technical decisions from first principles without regard to popularity". We don't adopt technology on the basis of popularity or quantity (that's an anti-pattern for us, in fact, as a logical fallacy), but rather on the basis of quality (does the technology merit the choice?).

In other words, we see choosing a technology a lot like surfing. If technology moves in waves, then the time to paddle out is not when you see thousands of surfers on a wave, but rather before, you need to spot quality swell before it breaks. If you can do that, then you tend to meet surfers at the backline who can also spot good swell, and counter-intuitively, that has the 2nd order effect of also being good for hiring.

There are many reasons why Zig makes perfect sense for TigerBeetle, in TigerBeetle's context, as summarized well by matklad: https://matklad.github.io/2023/03/26/zig-and-rust.html

I'm happy we made the call. It's delighted us many times over. Andrew Kelley's taste and leadership of Zig is :chefskiss.
