I caught COVID during the first wave and a second time in 2021.
The first time, the hardest, I lost my sense of smell, everything had a smoky or oily nauseating odor. About a month later, gradually, my sense of smell returned.
I had an excellent sense of smell, perceiving odors from quite a distance, in a varied and precise way, to the point of sometimes having a headache when they were strong. This level of olfactory performance, which I never made use of, never returned. On a vague comparative basis, I'd say it's returned to standard. In fact, that's the only positive point I can take from all this, as strong odors no longer seem to bother me.

At the time of my first infection, I was experiencing, like many, a real series of rather difficult life problems as well as major events. I'd say that could be partly to blame, but the COVID definitely diminished my cognitive abilities as well as my memory. I had what is commonly known as mental fog.
Here I am, having studied all my life, doing art, design, programming and build many great stuff with passion, speed of execution and a mastery that I'd describe as fairly good, unable to learn anything new and in a permanent state of anxiety. I haven't coded anything good for 3 years now, and my physical health is deteriorating despite my continuous physical and mental efforts.

I forced myself to take a job well below my capabilities which, even so, sometimes poses certain difficulties for me. Telling myself that it would pass and I'd soon be back into it in no time, but it's quite the opposite that's happening. I'm getting dumbed down and sinking around juniors who are now far superior to me in terms of how.
Where I live, COVID seems to have been relegated to an old story that no one wants to talk about anymore. The doctors are burnt out and none of the ones I've consulted seem to be able to diagnose long COVID or that sort of thing.
I'm beginning to harbor a deep resentment towards this illness, seeing it as the major trigger that screwed up my career. A career that was so difficult to build because I put my know-how ahead of my network.

I've overcome so many hardships in the past. Since 2020, I've been unable to bounce back.
I'm simply disgusted.

If you recognize yourself in this profile and impostor syndrome no longer seems so theoretical, I'd really appreciate not feeling lonely.
I was using the engine example as an analogy in an apparently failed attempt to help you appreciate the complexity involved. Mechanics in general will feel their way around an issue, but almost universally have access to paid repair databases when non-intuitive and complex issues come about.
It's no surprise. The example is ignoring the error from casting. It should be:

if quacker, ok := duck.(interface { Quack() }); ok {
quacker.Quack()
}

Ignoring errors leads to unexpected results.

Failing to mention that it's purposely ignoring an error for a fun blog post is the opposite of informative.
If you're reading this article, you may wish to know that arguably a "counterpart" to heavy press forging is explosive forming [1] in which a chemical high explosive is used to force a template material against a template. The overpressure generated by the explosive can be equivalent or maybe even greater than heavy press forgings (a 50,000 US short ton force press exerts ≈500 MN force; peak overpressure close to detonating TNT or PETN explosives can be MPa or higher [2] so depending on the geometry of the part they may be comparable) and it has the added "fun" fact that complex cylindrical or spherical shapes can be made very easily and accurately.

The only people I know who have worked with this have used it to make superconducting magnets, explosively forming either titanium or high grades of nonmagnetic stainless (A4, which has µr ≈ 1) without causing marsenite formation due to machining. This includes a major international MRI scanner manufacturer, for one relatively niche product. It's like the "extreme" version of metal spinning [3] – forcing a rotating chunk of metal against a rotationally symmetric mandrel.

> you gotta pay the lawyer too out of that $250k

On average, a medical malpractice case might require anywhere from 500 to 1,000 hours of legal work, with more complex cases potentially requiring over 2,000 hours.

Average lawyer cost in 2022 was $313/hr.

So we're basically looking at, generously, 750 hrs x $300, or $225k to the lawyer.

And that's just one side - the hospital presumably pays near the same.

... Huh.

Once again, I am stunned at the American legal system being so obviously and cartoonishly evil.
>We don't know how they process it.

I don't think they do. 4.45% of hits from UA's set to desktop report Linux. There's no more processing done. That'd explain why some random countries end up reporting a huge number of Linux users or the seemingly random spikes and drops the data shows.

>Likewise we know they do some filtering of bot traffic,

Do we? Could it not be ignoring certain UA's that report as bots, like cURL or google crawler?

You seem to think they must be doing something to justify their data, but as we don't know what they're doing the results are trash.

I think they don't do anything to justify their trash data. I've seen no reason to give them any credit.
That’s a very small subsection that thinks genociding Ukraine is a good idea. The other 99.5% are not I would be willing to offer up as a certainty.

If you have a suitably powerful M-Mac or iOS device, you can run it locally using "Draw Things", which is free.
that question was obviously not directed to the authors of the article, but to doe_eyes:

> Many large motors don't use permanent magnets, and even for the ones that do, neodymium isn't all that rare and is mined in the US.

What doe_eyes is referring to are motors or generators where the magnetic fields are generated by currents through windings. Under certain conditions it is more LCO efficient to generate magnetic fields that are stronger than even Neodymium magnets can supply.

Your dig about fractional horsepowers is thus misplaced.
Lua is by no means obsolete but I don’t think people are writing big applications in Lua as Lua’s real strength is being a good guest as a scripting language in a larger application… like a game engine. (I first saw lua when somebody was using it as an embedded scripting system for a FORTRAN finite element code)

Technically I like Decentraland, the problems it has are wetware problems that leave it with boring content and not enough users. A lightweight blockchain platform could work OK for keeping score in that kind of game but it probably doesn’t win out over alternatives.

If VR content is going to become widespread there has to be some breakthrough in authoring. The persona I have in mind is the owner of a few Thai restaurants in my town who is brilliant about SEO and SEM and would totally invest in VR content if he could see the business value in it because he’s done it for many new things that come along. There is no way he can do it at AAA game prices though.

Print2 Decentralized 3D Printer Community
To begin with, I always wanted to create something that would truly help people.

It so happened that I encountered a problem. Let’s say I want to fix something at home. I took some measurements and created a CAD drawing, but I don’t have a 3D printer at home or in my neighborhood.

I reached out to my local 3D printing group to find hobbyists or businesses that could print it. Businesses weren’t interested and charged too much for me, but hobbyists were just perfect. The problem is, you can’t always trust a random person; you have to meet them, check their portfolio, and so on. My idea is to create a community that is both great and trustworthy. I started with a Facebook page since it’s the most optimal way to build a community from the ground up.

Now, I am looking for a way to create an automated solution for every 3D printing hobbyist, where everything just pops as easily as Bolt or Uber.

3D printer owners will be able to earn some money from their contribution.
True, but the FTA proof is just really intuitive for me and I like it.

Idk about this particular library but the no-jit restriction wouldn't apply to GPU code where pretty much every platform is always jitting the code, and shipping AOT-compiled code is often the exception.

In practice, the use of dynamic is highly discouraged as well as anything that could lead to type confusion i.e. currently discussed Go's duck typing it calls structural (runtime vs static is impl. detail).

Instead, you are expected to simply do 'lessSpecific is IMoreSpecific ms`, works particularly well with pattern matching on switches for functional style.

> There's a blog post by Matthew Flatt of Racket fame describing how Racket's scope system works.

For clarity, I would specify that Matthew is the lone conceiver and implementer of the original sets-of-scopes system, as evidenced by him being the only author on the corresponding paper "Binding as Sets of Scopes" (POPL '16, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/2914770.2837620). So the blog post isn't just "some well-known Racket guy explaining a Racket thing", but rather "the guy who invented the thing explaining the thing".

The paper has a corresponding talk as well: https://youtu.be/rs27lkgq3Og. (And, in fact, Matthew has given the talk on more than a few occasions at various venues, so there are other recordings available as well.)

aint none of the "community relations" bullshit here actually related to any code, is there?

what happened to "if the code runs, who cares that it was written by a werewolf?"

whenever a project gets big enough to accrue a "community" it can only suffer from the dramas that community invariably brings. Perl was a superior language when python was fresh, but it had so much community that one couldn't ask questions without discovering you'd taken a side in some ongoing flamewar.
More common than you think.

A lot of hospital care is done by residents with surgeons overseeing and stepping in for the most difficult parts.

Our healthcare system would literally collapse without residents doing the heavy lifting. It won’t change until we stop artificially limiting the supply of doctors or give mid level practitioners more power.

The beauty of this decades long race is that the end game is still ambiguous. The Windows desktop trends towards being a thin client for opaque cloud services, which means at some point the Linux desktop proposition will be quite dramatically different, with its emphasis on local, private, open source etc.

In any case, for power users the Linux desktop is already a formidable platform.

If you know a child in middle school, this is a great way to get them started on "cool mathematical thinking", which I called "Mathematia" when I discussed with my son when he was young (to distinguish from the horrible Math being taught in school):

1. Introduce ℤ & ℚ - this is easy. Perhaps, fingers and slices of pizza. Now s/he's ready to be as surprised as the members of the Phythagorean cult

2. Go over the classical proof for √2 given here. We now have a number that's not in ℤ or ℚ!

3. It's one thing to show a result, a very different thing to *grasp* it. Why is (2) a big deal? It smashes the simple notion Greeks had that *any* two lengths (rational numbers) are commensurable, which is a perfectly simple and obvious (and wrong) thing to believe: "Have one stick for one side of a square and another for the diagonal. You cannot cut both sticks into pieces of the same length, no matter what length you choose." *This is amazing*

4. We only discovered one such weird number. Are there others? Motivated by the above, how about checking √3. Show that it's weird, too.

5. √4 is just 2. How about √5? OMG, that's weird, too.

6. So the square root of an integer is either an integer or one of these weird numbers. It cannot be of the general ℚ form p/q. This is an interesting proof. (While thinking about that with the youngster you can think about another generalization: roots higher than second. Turns out it's true for those, too: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4467/how-to-prove-if-a-b-in-mathbb-n-then-a1-b-is-an-integer-or-an-irratio

7. How do we work these weird numbers? For example, can we add them up, e.g. √2 + √3? How do we do that? Is that another weird number or could it ever be an integer? Some facts about these sums are trivial to prove: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/157245/is-the-sum-and-difference-of-two-irrationals-always-irrational

8. Using the wacky notion of adding two numbers as "mating" you can generally outline some higher algebra concepts, e.g. if a lion mates with a lion the result is always a lion. What if it mates with a tiger? (depends, liger or tigon). Can we think of adding a ℚ to one of these weird numbers the same way? Such intuitions may be misleading (remember the Greeks?) but are fun.
Use inline assembly or intrinsics. Read the code of stuff that does these things.

Resources sufficient for implementing simdjson or similar vectorized parsers: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/intrinsics-guid... https://lemire.me/blog/ http://0x80.pl/articles/
The FTA proof is the one that's obvious, though. If it's really easy to do something using a basic tool, why worry that the basic tool is complex to describe?
Where in Euclid's Elements does this proof appear? I can't seem to find it.
In TS you can have two types, say:

type A = { a: string; b: string }
type B = { a: string; b: string; c: string }

If you created a new object like this:

{ a: “foo”, b: “bar”, c: “baz” }

It would satisfy both type A and type B.

That won’t work quite so easily in go without messing around a bit.
From the article: "To put it simply, the system is dangerous."

And then it proceeds to spend zero time at all describing exactly what is dangerous about it. Seriously, the article doesn't even hypothesize about what makes this dangerous, it just says that it's bad.

The car I drove about 10 years ago had trouble exceeding the speed limit at times because it was a diesel! It was never dangerous.

Trucks including rental trucks are already governed to very low speeds and they don't cause a problem.

Articles like this feel to me a little bit like the seat belt deniers of the past. They'll all have to sheepishly eat their words when passenger and pedestrian deaths go down after the program is implemented.

Cars aren't toys. They are transportation devices. They kill people. They really aren't about freedom or whatever, not when I'm trying not to get killed by a maniac.

How to build conversational AI to practice soft skills
There are three approaches:

1) Use intrinsics, if your platform provides intrinsics for the instructions you want to use.

2) Use inline assembly (which I suppose doesn't technically count as writing C code, but is very much part of the story).

3) Write C code carefully against a chosen compiler with chosen optimization flags, and inspect the assembly. Especially for small chunks of code, a tool like godbolt.org is indispensable. Basically, you're writing the assembly you want the compiler to generate (either explicitly, or just in your head), then writing C code that seems likely to generate that sequence of instructions, then tweaking the code until the output you want is generated. If this is a super important optimization, it's also reasonable to add a build step that inspects the generated assembly and fails the build if it doesn't match the desired pattern; but in that case, writing inline assembly is usually easier.

utter nonsense.

small RPM but high torque electromotors are made by making them longer, make a motor axially longer by a factor L, and the torque will multiply by L, while the volume also increases by L.

suppose we followed your advice and multiplied the diameter by the same factor L to get the same increase in torque, now the volume is multiplied by L squared!
So this example is a single repo with many services? I don’t think OP was talking about that. Why would you have a single repo with different requirements? At that point they should be independent projects
As a career military aviator (about half and half flying and non-flying air ops jobs), there are definitely a surprising amount of Luddites in green flight suits.

Why don't you read up on the responses to your "study", and tell us what they said?

You don't get to make other people do research for you, so I'm not going to do that.
you keep making these claims that it's harder than it appears but have yet to back them up. I'd be more than happy to update my understanding of the capabilities of these things if you can actually show me limitations of the technology. until then, just saying SPI is harder than that, when I've written the code for a microcontroller to interface to an LCD, at the advent of Google, (so before stack overflow and ChatGPT), and so I deeply know the frustrations of board bring up, doesn't convince me that it's it's my understanding that's wrong, but yours.
AFAIK, no OS uses a "GC-like mechanism" to handle page allocation.

When a process requests additional pages be added to its address space, they remain in that address space until the process explicitly releases them or the process exits. At that time they go back on the free list to be re-used.

GC implies "finding" unused stuff among something other than a free list.

> It sounds like you have a lot of unresolved fear about Covid that you're not dealing with in a healthy way (denial, lashing out, projecting). Maybe seek out a mental health professional to talk through things, it might help.

I appreciate the concern, but I'm actually quite okay. I know many people who do continue to live in fear of COVID however, insisting on continuing mask and vaccine mandates. One even refuses to leave his house, opting to have food and groceries delivered all so he can avoid potentially catching COVID by going in public.

> The people wearing masks aren't living in "constant fear" any more than the people wearing seatbelts in their car are living in "constant fear" of car accidents.

There may be a portion of people who treat wearing a mask just the same as wearing a seatbelt, but in my anecdotal experience everyone I know who still actually masks is quite fanatical about it.
You have to admit, this is quite odd:

> 1) it's not a proof by contradiction, it's a proof of a negation :grump:

I don't get your complaint. It is a proof of a negation, yes, the conclusion is that √2 ∉ ℚ.

But the proof is done by contradiction; "it's not a proof by contradiction" is flat-out false. "Proof by contradiction" describes the method of the proof, and "proof of a negation" describes its conclusion, which is why one of those phrases uses by and the other one uses of.
This is a good example. They wrote:

“When confronted (constructively, much later) they usually get evasive and can’t explain.”

Confronted is a big word with a hostile intent. They’re incredibly measured in their language and use precise language. That sounds like a trap to me - it’s:

A.) Asking three questions and only get 1/3 answered.

B.) Waiting for a suitable period of time to elapse.

C.) Confronting them while expecting an explanation.

Letting time go by, “confronting them” and expecting an explanation is a trap. It assumes that they can even remember the conversation! Why not send a follow up email immediately and politely ask again? Heck, that’s a good excuse to use “circle back” in conversation. :)

If you missed that first read, no worries because so did I. I had to read the comment three times and then I kind of shaked my head because they are so measured and precise, and that’s an awfully big statement to make about colleagues.
