I actually think that's the point, though: it isn't about testing, it is about not going out of your way to make assumptions. Clearly, your code isn't riddled with #ifdef macOS, or you wouldn't be saying it probably works on Windows. And, as you coded it in Rust using Cargo, as annoying as I may sometimes find their cross compilation behavior, it by and large works: if I take your code I bet I can just ask it to compile for something random, and I'll see what happens... it might even work, and you don't actively know of obvious reason why it can't.

In contrast, a lot of libraries I use--hell: despite myself caring about this, I have become part of the problem (though I'd argue in my defense it is largely because of my dependencies making it hard to even build otherwise)--come with a bespoke build system that only even is able to compile for a handful of targets and where the code is riddled with "ifdef intel elif arm else error" / "ifdef windows elif linux elif apple else error". I can pretty much tell you: my code isn't going to work on anything I didn't develop it for, and would require massive intervention to support something even as trivial sounding as FreeBSD, because none of the parties involved in its code really cared about making it work.

So like, while you might be arguing against the premise, in practice, you could be the poster-child for the movement ;P. You developed your software using an ecosystem that values portability, you didn't go out of your way to undermine such, and you aren't actively poo-pooing people who might want to even try it on other systems (as say every major project from Google, where they either consider a platform to be fully tested and supported or something no one should discuss or even try to fix) you're merely warning them it wasn't tested, and I frankly bet if I showed up with a patch that fixed some unknown issue compiling it for RISC-V you'd even merge the change ;P.
The problem with putting different options in different places is that a lot of people will only ever see one of the options.
Seems unlikely though? Matt wrote a post on the web, ie he had unlimited length available to him. If the dispute is over employee contributions, then he should have made that the focus of his complaint.

> In reality the modal life expectancy of adults (most common age of death other than 0) has been pretty stable in the 70s-80s range for most of human history- the low average was almost entirely due to infant mortality.

Until the last few-ish generations, pregnancy and childbirth have been leading causes of death for women in those in-between decades of their lives.

(And obviously War and Famine, too, for both genders.)
In a Gresham College video lecture about microbial disease (if only I remembered the title...) the lecturing professor briefly mentions that in Victorian Britain life expectancy was actually "higher than today" when you exclude children and women (who had a great risk of death during pregnancy and birth).

https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/return-microbes-how-infe...

The video has a text with the words.

Look for

> So, your life expectancy at five, in England, as a male, in 1870 was slightly longer than it is now, which is an extraordinary statistic, slightly shorter then if you were a female.

1870s Britain is not "ancient", but as far as medicine is concerned much closer to that than to modern times. What medicine there was wasn't even available to most people. They were pretty good with "physical" things like broken bones by then, but anything concerning microbes probably wasn't much better than what was done a thousand years earlier.

Obviously, as you point out, we don't have statistics from ancient times, only some hints, but that is the same for people making the claim about the short average life spans (without the little detail about infant and women mortality).

There also is the question of how meaningful it is to average over vastly different sections of the population (what you did and how you lived and what you ate, access to good water, hygiene), or times of famine or war.

Some related discussion, reddit, but the heavily moderated AskHistorians subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/12o4py/what_...

There we see the lower life expectancy of early agricultural societies vs. hunter-gatherers (ignoring their high number of deaths due to violence).

I think all of this also serves to illustrate OPs point about the problem of averages :-) There's just too much important information that is lost.

Is there a "distrowatch" like site for programming languages?
I like reading and hearing about new programming languages. I don't learn them all or anything but I do like to hear about what is new and what trends are happening.

Is there a website that collects info on new languages? I'm thinking something like distrowatch but for programming languages.

When I search around I get nothing but "10 new languages to learn in 2024", "29.5 new languages that will get you hired NOW!" and all of them are java, javascript, python, rust, and sometimes go. I know about them already!

It's not about learning every new lang or being cool for knowing about something that came out yesterday, I just like to read about new and interesting new programming languages.

Shitting on all of science ever is easy. Actually doing it is hard.
Dunno about mitochondria as a cell feature specifically. But there exists a similar constraint on the total size of the DNA in the cell nucleus (and therefore the ability of a species to survive polyploid mutations that double-or-more the amount of DNA per cell); and I believe we do (think that we) understand the cause of that one.

This polyploidy constraint only exists for animal cells, not for plant cells. Plants can — and frequently do! — get as polyploid as they want; but animals have a ceiling.

And that implies that the constraint has something to do with one of the main differences between plant and animal cells: namely, the fact that animal cells — specifically, blood cells — must move and flow along channels composed of other cells; while plant cells are fixed in place by their stiff cellulose membranes, with only fluids and tissues flowing.

The problem animal cells have with polyploidy, is seemingly that it makes their cells physically larger — and in so doing, causes biological architectural assumptions like "blood cells can travel through narrow capillaries to deliver oxygen to cells within extremity tissues" to just fail to hold. The capillaries, when composed of larger cells, are narrower; and the blood cells flowing through, composed of larger cells, won't fit.

(Evolution could in theory resolve this single problem by just scaling all features up in size. But that causes far more problems than it solves: the square-cube law requires huge changes to things like muscles and metabolism to keep up with increased size, if it's even possible; and some organs/tissues just require to be a certain size to function — like the nephrons of the kidneys — such that these instead need to stay the same size, evolving distinct adaptations to handle the increased size of the cells that travel to/through them.)
I am not saying that they were not exploited. But they went from being among the richest to being among the poorer not because of that but because Europe (and the US) progressed and industrialised while they didn't. It's not a loss of wealth, it's absence of growth.

They would not have fared better in that respect without colonisation/aggression when you look at the political and social state of India and China at the time, and they would probably have stayed the way they were and not evolved. The very obvious example is China that was basically "punched" into modernising (including by Japan that had modernised earlier). But the same goes for India which might not even exist as a country today without the reaction to British invasion.

Japan is actually a good example of that modernisation. Do you think this would have happened endemically in the Indian subcontinent?

Japan is quite unique in that respect as it happened very early and profoundly to the point it became an "equal" to Western powers in the early 20th century (which also demonstrates that it was possible to achieve)

This is the big one to me, actually. If Matt used the announcement feature in the WP.org codebase to place an announcement in WPEngine customers consoles telling them they should not support WPEngine, but instead his for-profit competitor, WP.com, it's pretty hard to argue that that is anything but tortious interference.
depends on a few things:

a) what language(s) the editor is written in -- compiled (view source code or compiled code) vs. interpreted (view script(s) source code)

b) support for utf8/utf16/utf32.

c) shell command line based (sed/ed) vs. interpreted text editor program[4] vs. text application[2]

no, text editor would not hide anything from the user[1] (unlike wysiwig[2])

few ways to interpret what's being asked:

text editor using treesitter extentions with approrpiate programming lanauge knowlege does allow for 'rolling up/down code blocks' to reduce/expand displayed code per lanauge groupings to reduce screen clutter. An ai can be used 'autobuild'/associate macros/tags references. where ai would translate/redirect 'verbal/audio' english commands to relevant text editor macros. This would be more akin to the human version of computer programing language hiding the binary/compiled stuff, where AI is just replacing OS & cli.

Example reference: text editor combined with additional application to show/display live html as it is edited/updated (vs. having all of the aforementioned available in an ide / word processor).[1]

one can use ai to do a transform audio/spoken commands into text that is then interpreted by an ai[3] vs. more traditional use gui object related to 'code' puredyne, swiftlatex, sun news

Your counter arguments are basically the "slippery slope" fallacy in the sense that if we were to legalise suicide, it devolvles into chaos with no restrictions and people killing themselves because they saw an ad.

Given my political and environmental leanings I should be picking up a pitchfork now as the article intends, but the entire article is built on lying with statistics.

> NW Natural has more retail gas customers than ever. It supplies them little, if any, renewable natural gas. It sells them as much fossil natural gas in an average year as it did before. And it wages steady battles in the courts and in local city halls to keep the gas flowing.

If I have more customers I would be selling more natural gas, not the same amount. I read a lot more of this article than I wanted to and at no point that I saw did they say how much recovered methane they are selling to customers. That should have been in this paragraph, if they weren’t so busy grandstanding. How “little, if any”? Numbers. Not rhetoric.

I am so tired of people misrepresenting numbers in general, and politically motivated is the worst. If you can’t win without lying then it’s not really winning.

I liked it at the time it came out, I like it less now.

It was a pivotal anime for a few reasons. One of them was that there was a technological change from producing anime with cels that get photographed on a multiplane camera to drawing the "cels" in a computer and compositing them digitally. Haruhi Suzumiya was not the first to be done with CG compositing but it figured out how anime would look with the new technology. So it looks far ahead of older stuff like Sailor Moon but looks behind something like Accel World or Bleach.

Story-wise it was an advance in postmodernization which was already well developed

https://www.amazon.com/Otaku-Database-Animals-Hiroki-Azuma/d...

but it used devices such as telling the story out of order and building systematically on tropes that seemed fresh at the time but now seem cynical to me.

For the record, I love propublica reporting.

And, here is something I wish all articles posted: "as reporters, we also tried to look at other utilities, and only 37% of them reported data."

I think these news articles are often skewed by what data is available. And, so many agencies just don't report, so they are exempted from this kind of reporting.
I don't think splitting hairs about "Oh, that was just a broken promise, not a broken contract" is the win that you're looking for, when it comes to answering the question of "Did NATO behave in an antagonistic/untrustworthy/threatening manner against Russia during its decade of weakness."

You ask about olive branches, I give you examples, you say that those examples were legally allowed. Okay, sure, they were, but that's got nothing to do with the price of butter. Just because you can do something from a position of strength doesn't mean doing it was a good idea, or served your long-term aims in a relationship.
Very nice! I gave you my money just for the consideration of people stuck in old Java versions like myself. Looking forward to getting the new chapters as they come!
Batteries == Mitochondira

So I wondered how one could increase the number of mitochondria and quickly found this nice piece from 2017 about promoting mitochondrial fission in mid-life (ok in fruit flys):

I'm pretty sure maintaining mitochondrial health will help a lot of health problems. They seem to come up every little while in regard to many different pathologies.
the places I go they don't mind if you bring a portaband or a cut off wheel and spend a couple minutes in their yard. actually the place I often go has a chop saw out front. delivery in the city is $20. another place is happy to do cuts for $5, but you have to not mind waiting around for them to get to it.

How does this compare to "80/20" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-slot_structural_framing ?

(At a past startup, we used 80/20 for the structure of our factory stations. We were very happy with how 80/20 was easily adapted during prototyping and testing, and then our final station design could be replicated quickly stateside to several stations, then disassembled into a few assemblies for flight, reassembled at the factory in Asia, and hold up well in production, and it also looked professional for demos. A lot of that success was due to the know-how and effort of our mechE, but, IMHO, 80/20 is appealing to people who grew up with Lego-like toys, and even I, primarily a software person, felt I could do useful things with it and some basic tools.)

Related : I'm building https://github.com/laem/cartes, an alternative to Google Maps.

On top of a custom protomaps tileset and a few other MapTiler options (such as satellite and hiking), it packs a search engine, a basic OSM place UI, transit calculators (walk, bike with profiles, transit, car), small features like ruler and favorites, transit maps, photos of places, place search by categories, and the French open source street view Panoramax.

Of course, given the scope, its alpha software.

It's built locally for France and French speaking users, though most of the code is English, some data sets are not. I'm spending ~ 50 % working on transit, lots need to be done.

You can test it here : https://cartes.app.

The aim is not to provide map tiles as an API to other project, but to build a UI on it.
>> I think it's okay to abandon things, and you can certainly learn things and reuse parts from abandoned projects.

I recently moved from front-end development into accessibility. Years ago, I had built a bunch of static sites, templates and other design projects that I had eventually abandoned for various reasons.

Now that I'm in accessibility, I've gone back and dug many of these out and have re-built them to be accessible. Several used very old versions of bootstrap, so part of what I did was also upgrading to the latest version of bootstrap as well.

I learned so much just from going back and making those older designs accessible. Its something that I definitely feel gave me a better perspective on stuff we look for when we're assessing sites and applications. It was also a real wake up as to how much of the stuff I built wasn't accessible at all.
