I’m saying that in most cases there will only be one value, hence ‘repeated’ is unnecessary.

I don't think nix is that awful, while there are some tasks that are more difficult or can be a little bit verbose (if you want to play a lot with the attribute sets / lists
or string manip) When using nix most of the time you'll end up just writing bash or using it as a templating language.

“One feature that IMHO would be game changer for tools like this (and are lacking even in paid services like Hatchbox.io, which is overall great) is streaming replication of databases.”

And then I mentioned that I believe fly.io has litestream support. I think it’s fairly relevant to the comment/thread.

How much is an interesting question because it is difficult to quantify - There is no "unit" for ecological destruction. I said above, i think it is worth paving over the entire estuary, which is about 2 square miles.

If I were to put an upper limit on it, it would probably be 100x that.

As for justification, I think that the common value of the local habitat is miniscule, and the common value of SpaceX is immense.

some small number of people use the wild refuge for bird watching and the like, meanwhile SpaceX internet provides millions of people access to education, telemedicine, employment, and/or entertainment. Further development will help advance global Astronomy and encourage space exploration.

I would love to know that too. I don't know the frequency the walkie-talkie used: it could anywhere between 136 MHz to 900 MHz. To give you an idea, 135 MHz isn't too far from the FM spectrum. The antenna of your local radio can blast at several miles. If several cities were targeted, then multiple emitting stations were involved.

Isn't it true that in key exchange entanglement isn't used in any way shape or form for sending data, but only in making a determination that there was no eavesdropping on the transmission, because any eavesdropper would collapse the wave function.

So like you said, entanglement can't be used to send information, but it can be used to detect if the transmission was secure (I think)

My SIL has never been the same (her words) since she got it--note that she does *not* live in the US where it's a political issue.

The fundamental problem is that "Long Covid" is one of these "diagnoses" that are just a description of a widely varying set of symptoms and do not identify the actual problem. For a similar example consider AIDS. There we could at least identify the vector but until we discovered HIV we weren't very effective at dealing with it. This time around we know the underlying pathogen but not the mechanism of action.

SARS had many of the same lasting effects and was never thought to be hypochondria.

> the goal of going to college should be just to get your degree

> figure out the cheapest, easiest way to do it, even if it includes cheating.

And this mindset is why cheating has proliferated. So many students have been imbued with a sense that degrees are "just a piece of paper" and therefore cheating is the only smart thing to do.

> Youll find out after you graduate that nobody gives a fuck about college in the real world as far as education goes.

I'm actually finding it's going the other way. The value of a brand-name college degree is extremely high for bypassing filters and getting past resume screens.

Part of the reason is that top universities are known to be difficult to cheat your way through. Not impossible, but it's not easy either.

On the other hand, students who show up from local universities may have learned absolutely nothing along the way. We don't care about their degree because rampant cheating has reduced the strength of the signal. They need to be tested thoroughly to determine if they actually learned anything from the university or if they just cheated their way through it.
There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She went out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

Time flows differently depending on velocity with respect to your frame of reference. Two observers moving at different speeds with respect to each other see different time flows. At normal speeds this is negligible but at close to light speed... hoo boy. You get things like observers seeing events occur separately that occured simultaneously for their counterparts and so forth. So if you were able to send information faster than light somehow, you would be sending it from one frame of reference with one notion of time into another frame of reference with a different notion of time -- one which observes receipt of the message before it can observe the sender sending it!

It's all a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

It would if this was actually mm-wave 5g. The article says this antenna only functions in the sub 5ghz range, which makes a lot of sense.

Most modern windows use an aluminuzed coating for UV reflection (usually called low-e glass), which surprise surprise, is absolutely great at attenuating mm-wave frequencies, making windows pretty much the worst possible place on a building to place an antenna.

But, turns out most people also dont need gigabit wifi for their phones and other devices, so true mm-wave 5g seems to mostly be reserved for wireless home internet at the moment.
I can't say what the intent has been with your company (not a mind reader) but their actions speak volumes. My suggestion would be to start applying to developer and QA jobs (don't worry too much about the level -- that's all mutable when the right people connect). Have a concise cover letter that related the above, and points to your repos with explanations of why you built each, and your desire to do development full time.

Given the story above, I'd say you have a great career as a software developer ahead of you.

Tracking issue is https://github.com/256lights/zb/issues/2

The hurdles to interop I see are:

- Nixpkgs is not content-addressed (yet). I made a conscious decision to only support content-addressed derivations in zb to simplify the build model and provide easier-to-understand guarantees to users. As a result, the store paths are different (/zb/store instead of /nix/store). Which leads to...
- Nix store objects have no notion of cross-store references. I am not sure how many assumptions are made on this in the codebases, but it seems gnarly in general. (e.g. how would GC work, how do you download the closure of a cross-store object, etc.)
- In order to obtain Nixpkgs derivations, you need to run a Nix evaluator, which means you still need Nix installed. I'm not sure of a way around this, and seems like it would be a hassle for users.

I have experienced the same friction in build infra for Nix. My hope is that by reusing the binary cache layer and introducing a JSON-RPC-based public API (already checked in, but needs to be documented and cleaned up) for running builds that the infrastructure ecosystem will be easier.

if you've ever endured the pain of PR'ing a medium-ish sized feature from someone who copiloted their way through the entire thing you know it doesn't work that way
Ultimately you have two choices: you refactor the architecture as needed as part of implementing the current feature...or you end up drowning in technical debt farther down the line.

A properly architected code base makes it easy to make the kind of changes you want to make. A badly architected code base (as you describe) makes it nearly impossible. I've found it's usually by far the quickest thing to fix the architecture and then implement the new feature sanely. (And no, you don't ask permission; you just make everything clean. As I noted above, if your boss doesn't like this kind of thinking, you need a new boss.)

Of course, I'm one of those guys Graham mentions who works by himself most of the time.....YMMV.

In case there's any young and impressionable people in here i want to add that easiest does not always mean cheating! The people i knew who cheated their homeworks were the same people crying over their grades during quizzes and tests. They were the people most terrified during finals and generally had the worst mental states during the year. It certainly did not seem to make their lives easier. Sure, you might get away with it but these things can come back to bite you!

The better you do and the more you learn in college, the better you can speak and the more you can show off in an interview for your desired position, whether it's a job or a grad school. Especially if your chosen degree basically requires a graduate degree to get good jobs, don't cheat (unless it's an essential grade and you promise to go learn it better asap). Grad school doesn't mess around, it's hard enough for the studious ones.

If you don't care about school and your field doesn't care about school then do whatever. But don't make a habit of living dishonestly. It wears at the soul
In my country you can send your children to any kind of religious or secular school, or school them at home. Education is not in any sense a feedback loop with a particular mainstream culture. Nor is it inculcating the law of the land as a belief system.

When I say 'personal opinion', I don't care where it arises from: Be it religion or heresy, or what your government has taught you or what your ancient culture dictates, that's just your opinion. Somewhere, someone believes otherwise.

Democracies which function well seek to strike a balance between those, not to obliterate the minority.

Minorities win in America, in every sense. Immigrant cultures and subculture and counterculture lead to innovation, to the extent they're allowed to thrive. The law recognizes this and, in large over a long time, adjusts to accommodate. Integration in the US is in many ways tolerance.

Hong Kong was a highly successful democracy until its freedom was taken. Taiwan is a democracy which respects minority opinion. Both are/were tolerant of protests which could never take place in mainland China. Who is even to say that China's government has anything to do with protecting culture or majority belief? A majority in China may well believe that their government is illegitimate, but simply cannot say so because "bodily survival takes precedence", exactly because the current order does interfere in threatening says. Although certainly, even this suppression of the majority pales in comparison to the horrific treatment of minorities there.
Life imitates Xkcd comic as Florida gang beats crypto password from retiree
I got to work on Pivotal Tracker in 2006 during it's first rewrite. Fun project.
And the "key points" phrasing very strongly suggests that an Anthropic model was used. It's a telltale sign for those, just like Delve is (was) for Open AI.
One intuitive explanation is that anything moving at the speed of light is experiencing no time at all (from the point of view of an observer) and if something is moving faster than light that means it's going backwards in time. (only massless virtual particles can)

If a clock stops or runs backwards that totally messes up "causality" which is about events interacting relative to a time order, and so time must exist for causality to make sense.

Given all the suppression and secrecy that was going on at the time of the outbreak, I'm never sure what to make of studies like this. It's impressive in how detailed it is but it's also been years and there's so many variables that could come into play.

The article even states that it "has been proposed that humans could have introduced the virus into the Huanan market. It is most likely that there were human infections of SARS-CoV-2 earlier than the first documented and hospitalized market cases, including unascertained market cases or contacts thereof."

Also, "The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the Huanan market in January 2020 could plausibly reflect deposition several weeks before sampling, compatible with estimated dates of the first human infections."

The authors have counterpoints but I sort of feel like anything is on the table at this point, and I'm not sure I find their counterpoints convincing.

In general, these epidemiological/public health-type studies of COVID19 origins have this tendency to assume a zoonotic origin, or a typical "natural origin" and then proceed accordingly, rather than to acknowledge it's one of many possible scenarios, and then proceed from that. For just one example, they add in their counterpoints "any hypothesis of COVID-19’s emergence has to explain how the virus arrived at one of only four documented live wildlife markets in a city of Wuhan’s size at a time when so few humans were infected." But this really should say "when so few humans were publicly known to be infected." It also assumes the data itself is sound, even though it is based on data first publicly published on in April 2023.

I suspect they take this approach because to consider the full range of options leads to too much uncertainty they can't address.

I hate being so skeptical but there's so much to be suspicious about, including the cover-ups by Daszak and colleagues, the Chinese government, American governmental institutions, and just the sheer amount of time that went by with nothing happening despite the historical import of this virus. It doesn't appear that people who were in a position to do anything about figuring out where the virus came from really wanted to know.
The Trouble with Iowait
I wrote an ansible pipeline that pushes config backups, json and ndjson, to a GitHub repo. It just uses the “git” cli tool to clone the repo, commit any changes, and push those commits to “origin/main”.

Homework is an incredibly controversial topic I think, because:

Homework, since you can get a lot or even full credit even if you get it wrong (haven't learned the material well), provides a big boost to the grades of a type of student who "tests poorly" -- whether because they failed to learn the material, or because of anxiety or whatever.

On the other side of the debate you have an alliance of:

• Parents who think "Jeez, my kid comes home from school with 3 hours of homework every night, WTF, let them live life"

• Kids who, to avoid using labels, I'll just say... they learn the material easily AND can prove it easily on a test. They say "WHY TF are you wasting hours of my time doing busywork??

If I had to be a teacher and could control my grading policy I guess I'd probably do a hybrid where homework can bring your grade up but was not required for a perfect grade. So,

GRADE = MAXIMUM(HW_GRADE * .15 + TESTS, 1)

With all due respect to the "can't take a test" crowd, it seems unfair to give homework a weight higher than that though. Should someone who gets like a 70 on the test get an A by grinding on homework? I'm glad I'm not a teacher so I don't have to actually debate anyone on that.
If it makes you feel better, there is a miniscule that the people responsible for it, the people who permitted it, and the executives who oversaw it could possibly go to prison for not doing it. fiduciary duty baby!
