Well, the array of Umbra strings will almost certainly be aligned to 16-bytes, since each string view is a fixed 16 bytes. For the secondary buffer containing long strings, they would not have any particular alignment because they contain bytes, which are 1-byte aligned. Enforcing an alignment for each string would waste a lot of space, and also it's not clear what that alignment would be. For example, if you had a 37-byte side string, what would you align it to?

the statement was that a company operating illegally is _less_ trustworthy than one operating legally.

I think it is plausible, because if the company (through some wonder) picks and chooses which law it abides to, then it literally can scam anyone out of their life savings without any consequences…

I mean, it’s all pros and cons: governements have some cons, but they also offer a framework which is protecting you to some extend from scams. If you decide to deal with a company operating outside the law, you can avoid the government spying/tracking (which, depending on the country you live in, may be vital) _but_, such companies cannot be sued or anything, so you have significantly less legal protections…
Funnily enough, it's exactly the other way around. Google was prevented by completion regulators from turning down third party cookie support by default.

(And users already have a choice, Chrome has a setting for whether 3p cookies are allowed, blocked, or blocked in just incognito mode. Reading between the lines, they are probably going to ask users to explicitly choose, since they're not allowed to change the default.)
The "central authority" that determines the composition of the basket -- is the users of the money.

The thing about non-fraudulent, wealth-backed money is that there is no barrier to entry, nor is there a barrier to exit. Unlike usury-based money, a wealth-backed currency can cleanly decrease in usage, down to zero. People withdraw wealth pledged to created the money, by returning the amount of money created, and then take their wealth elsewhere.

Thus, if people don't like the valuations arrived at by the "basket" underlying the value of each unit of money (ie. something becomes undesirably in/deflationary), they can move to another form of money -- ideally, one that constitutes its "basket" based on a more representative set of the society's basic commodities. In the ideal embodiment, this basket would evolve over time (eg. as energy production moves from coal to oil to natural gas to nuclear to renewables over the years, for example, the energy commodity component of the basket would be revised automatically).

As for the PID loop, there are much more advanced controls methodologies that improve error rejection (eg. Kalman filtering), stability (Model Predictive or State Space control), etc. Furthermore, limits on the introduction (or withdrawal) of wealth (and hence newly created units of money) should reflect the current size of the ecosystem to limit shocks that would adversely interfere with the control stability. (ie. you can't create 10x the current size of the economy in newly issued money all at once.)

Depends on how the map is being used. If I'm looking to avoid traveling through neighborhoods with a high robbery risk (e.g. as a tourist), I'd prefer absolute numbers vs. per capita.
The author paints a very vivid picture of mismanagement, but I wish he had fortified that picture with some quotes or anecdotes. The "management" people remain this fuzzy, dark force throughout the essay.
Well that bothers the logician in me, they didn't say the sodium ions weren't charged, you are just assuming that implication ;)
> So it makes some sense that they would ban crypto mining: permitting it would significantly increase overall energy utilization and could quickly make their business model unprofitable.

Then adding an energy usage limit would make more sense instead of a broad-usage ban, and it is significantly less invasive to examine a server’s energy expenditure rather than the server’s productive use.

Also, how do they investigate and enforce this ban? If it is possible to get banned for ‘trading,’ does this mean they are inspecting all communication and activity on instances they host?
It seems to me that the greatest risk in a 5 year build out is "obsolete" technology. No technology is really obsolete (you could totally build a startup on classic ASP or jQuery), but I know as standards change, polyfills are no longer needed, libraries become abandoned, etc, it can be tricky.

On a side note, I wish this was around in 2022. While I see it's designed for apartments, I spent a ridiculous amount of time converting our new house dimensions into a 3d model as we were planning out furniture, etc.

In the decades I've been in this business, I've never figured out how to do this. I suspect it's a temperament thing -- either you have it or you don't.

My solution evolved to becoming very choosy about where I'm willing to work. I am reasonably good at predicting what workplaces will make me miserable and simply don't apply to those. When I've messed up and found myself in one anyway, I haven't been shy about quitting.

The other thing I've found is that pay cannot make up for a bad working environment for me.
How do you figure that death is solely a human concept?
When I said "overview" I mostly meant both vision (as in observability) and understanding of everything. I would have said overseer, but then I would ask for the reader to crack the thesaurus. To not digress anymore, CISO not only need to have proper knowledge of what happens, but understand why happens, how happens and in the several contexts that happens. And that's hard.
Hm, I wish this could use a smartphone with lidar (Like iPhones/iPads) to scan the environment and create the 3D models. The viewer itself is very impressive and I see it will soon support VR. But I've never seen the viewer as the problem - capturing of the environment in an easy and affordable way - that's what's needed. Right now you have to resort to expensive 3D camera rigs.
Because there's no way to convert energy from heat to mechanical, electrical, or chemical but they inevitably lose some of themselves to heat energy (through resistance, friction, and exothermic reactions).

Note that you can use a difference in temperatures to generate mechanical/electrical energy, but that's also an increase in entropy as the nicely sorted temperatures get muddled and weakened, and there's no way to undo that either (at least not without suffering a loss of efficiency).

Also note that you can always "cheat" by expanding your reference frame to include objects and energy you don't care about. That's why the first law of thermodynamics states that you can't get energy for free, but we can, for all intents and purposes, get "unlimited" "free" energy from the sun, and that a solar-powered machine could have what is effectively perpetual motion from our perspective. I don't know about you, but I'm not going to worry about the machine failing in five billion years when the sun dies.
Thanks for checking out the site and for the feedback. It's definitely something we're looking into.

It's kind of an interesting question though because it somewhat varies by crime category. Take car break ins, for instance - this is more of a constant factor than a population density scalar because the number of parking spots is generally fixed on a per-block basis rather than scaling with population density.

I think we might try to give users the option of dividing by population density but allow them to toggle this on/off.
It says “can”. It doesn’t say should, or advise on what’s best for the person at the “center” to do. In fact that’s the whole point: it is advice meant for people who are, in their own analysis, not at the center of whatever trauma is being addressed.
Nesting them is not so bad if the syntax makes it obvious what the precedence is, which isn't true of C, but is of Rust for example.

Anyway, complicated code should be avoided whenever possible, true, but banning the ternary operator (and similar constructs like match/switch statements as expressions) does nothing to make code simpler. It just forces you to transform

let x = (some complicated nested expression);

into

var x;
// (some complicated nested tree of statements where `x` is set conditionally in several different places)
Is it surprising the article would discuss that when it goes on to discuss cats been considered aloof, independent, and fickle in their affections? The cat/dog thing is yet another one of those stereotypes where many pet lovers could provide an abundance of evidence to the contrary.
It is great for casual users also. I set up Fedora for my wife on older Macbook Air that stopped receiving MacOS updates and she has no issues using it.
Nicely done. Longer term historical data would be nice too, for comparison or trends. It should be available as these sorts of crime maps were all the rage 10-15 years ago.

Personally, I would prefer that the crimes filter panel automatically hide itself when I click on the map after selecting my filter.

Kudos.

> i'm not sure whether to blame this kind of line extension fraud on unethical management, on consumers who can't tell the difference and consequently buy such fraudulent products whenever they're cheaper, or on poorly-thought-out regulations

Porqué no los tres? CEOs pursuing yet another vacation home, under-educated consumers that lose their minds over 'saving' 1c ("$5.00" too expensive "4.99!" OHH THIS ONE!!), and regulators either with a private-sector agenda or who have no teeth because Congress is politically compromised.

There's more than enough blame to spread around.

I believe that with perfect information, humans are predictable, but that doesn't make the will any less free.

Just because someone could predict that you would make a decision doesn't mean you didn't make the decision, it just means you're internally consistent.
The way we've (my wife and I) have been budgeting for years is to have a set of fixed monthly expenses, mostly recurring but some one time, and then have a pot of money for variable daily expenses. We then divide that into the number of days of the month and think of this as our "daily allowance" and we try to stay under it to stay within our monthly budget. Some days are over, some are under but if you recalculate it every day it is an easy way to stay on track with the bonus that sometimes you have a lot of money you can spend at the end of the month. We still categorize the expenses but it is more for looking backwards.

I've thought of making an app using this methodology but personal finance apps are like project management apps - everybody has their own opinion on how they should work. I do this with a Google Doc spreadsheet per year with tabs per month which is not ideal but works well enough.

This is what I was coming here to request. Would love for them to bring their Colocation, Dedicated Server and Storage Box services to the US.
but all those buildings are up to code now too right? And the fact that people keep them occupied for so long and renovate speaks to their intrinsic quality I'd think.

but tbh - quality is somewhat a red herring. Today, quality is all because there is caulk (greatest invention), plumbing, and longer lasting paint. Yesteryear, quality was because they used all natural materials which are unaffordable now. Either way, keep a house dry and occupied, and it will stand for centuries, regardless of when it was built.
I think we can say that the emotional response cats exhibit when a companion is absent or dead is, in some ways, similar to grief-like behaviors
One amazing outcome of the (currently expensive and unweildy) DeFi implementations, is that there is always a maker/taker available for every currency pair.

You can always exchange every cryptocurrency for every other cryptocurrency, 24/7, without having to ask any bankster or do-gooder bureaucrat for permission.

Once wealth-backed dynamic-issuance cryptocurrencies eliminate the need for any Fiat on- or off-ramps, the circuit will be closed -- nobody will ever have to ask a gate-keeper for permission to create wealth, monetize that wealth, or execute a mutually agreeable transaction with that money.

Nor will they be forced to use sub-standard money.

The existing power structures will be ... displeased.

Different people consume data in different ways. For some, data is easier to understand when arranged in tables, black on white, as they can skim through a lot of datasets quite easily.

Others benefit by a colorful, graphical representation, which Sankey provides.

From my experience in consumer facing applications, I'd assume that a colorful, flashy, nice-looking Sankey could boost sales. People prefer things that look nice.
Ok, let's begin from the other end. What evolutionary benefit does grief have in humans?
I don’t think it qualifies. This drain is intentionally named after Mr. French.
>Imagine two bodies thrown exactly Northward on a sphere. Although their paths are parallel they would approach each other, as if there was an acceleration. This acceleration would be the same whatever their mass is.

The thing that always confuses me is how the distortion explains their behavior when stationary.

Sure, sure, "stationary" doesn't exist and everything is a matter of reference frames etc etc etc, but still, if you and I are both standing still on a sphere, there's nothing drawing us towards each other. Why are we drawn together from rest?
Apparently these things support OpenBSD to some extent. Which is nice, OpenBSD on ARM tends not to be all that great if you want everything to work for you.
That's probably not the correct analysis, because the number you're trying to estimate is not P(a crime occurs near you), it's P(you will personally be the victim of a crime). Crime rate over density won't necessarily do that either (since the population density of a primarily commercial+touristy area, e.g. Fisherman's Wharf, is << the number of people who are present there on a given day), but neither does raw count.
Too true. When we translate complex concepts to code & math, either may inadvertently not be exactly what we wanted.

Interesting to think about a formal code verification system that maintained a connection between all four prime artifacts: natural language description of problem as understood & intended solution, vs. code and the properties actually verified.
8th and Mission is a lot different than 4th and Mission that's for sure.

I actually work up near that area and would still say you'll have interesting characters, but not something like 8th and Mission where I feel terrible for everyone who runs a business around there.

Most new apartment buildings I saw for my move a few years ago were concentrated around the civic center + market area.

Regardless of what people say here, walking around is the most effective way of ensuring that you're comfortable with where you are planning on being.
Yes. By the letter of the agreement, you are not to use your cards to do test purchases against your account.

You ocassionally see complaints about payment processors when microbusinesses do this and get banned. So it is something that does get checked ocassionally. (There's a top level comment about this)

I think the payment processor doesn't want you to do it because you may issue many transactions and then refund them which incurs cost, or you may be using it for manufactured spend which incurs issuer ire. Maybe it's a brown M&M thing; if you didn't read that part of the agreement, you didn't read anything else, and they may as well kick you out early and avoid hassle.

Does each store have multiple managers like that or is this equivalent to someone who manages a region of stores? I've worked fast-food in the past as a run-of-the-mill front line worker and wasn't aware of such a position (although that doesn't mean it doesn't exist). Particularly for the franchisees who own a single store, I'm not sure that is economically viable.

It's interesting that analog computers embody both meanings of "analog" - that of continuous quantities vs discrete/digital ones, and also of one thing being comparable to ("an analog of", cf analogy) something else.

The article seems to put a bit of a silly spin on an interesting subject by wanting to present analog computers as a potential alternative to digital ones, when in fact that is only rarely going to be possible.

Digital computers support programming - solving of problems by describing the process by which they are to be solved, whereas analog computers instead support solving of (limited types) of problem by building an analog of the problem (which you could think of as "describing" the problem, rather than how to solve it), either using analog electronics (a patch panel analog computer), or by building a physical analog of it such as the Antikythera mechanism which models the motions of the planets.

The article oddly omits any mention of quantum computers which (unless I'm totally misguided!) are essentially a type of analog computer - one that is no replacement for digital computers and general problem solving since it can't be programmed, but rather only works when one can configure it to be an analog of the problem to be solved. As with any other type of analog computer, the problem is then solved by letting the system run and the dynamics play out.

> Electric vehicles warn you at the start of your trip if you won't make it to your destination.

Road navigation is relatively simple and even then there are unexpected road closures and stuff like that. If running out of gas was an emergency in a car you’d never rely on this warning alone, you’d do more careful planning and fuel monitoring. And then cars don’t have to deal with unexpected headwinds, weather (maybe occasionally), closed runways, the list goes on. It’s just a much harder forecasting problem.

I mean, I'd also be pretty interested in avoiding P(a crime occurs near you), especially as a tourist.
That depends if people care more about crime happening to them or crime happening around them.
