Does it support latex formula and code highlighting? There are some things I absolutely need in a blog, and I can't seem to find a simple one that supports everything.
Genuine question:

If you write only for yourself, what motivates you to actually finish, and more importantly, polish a post?

I write for myself all the time, in private: I have a journal, a paper notebook, thousands of notes in Obsidian. Yet doing a blog post feels like a massive undertaking every single time, especially the later writing and editing: explaining stuff that is obvious to me and no one else, replacing idiosyncratic abbreviations, fixing formatting issues, fixing blogging engine or hosting stuff. I think I struggle with these parts because doing those tasks doesn't benefit me very much.

So how do you do these things within the framework of writing for oneself? Any takes on this?
100% agreed. Took a road trip, and at any charger I stopped at I either purchased a meal, or purchased snacks from a coffee shop. Given how spread out they are, competition is fairly thin.
That's an extremely loaded title and article. If there wasn't good demand for the material, it wouldn't be generated. After all, the generation isn't free. AI isn't cheap. As for the quality, it varies, just like with human work.

In any event, there will always exist repositories of curated works, such as reputable news sites, academic sites, and other scholarly sites. These should continue to remain sufficient to feed AI with quality training material.

Open source battery technology could change the landscape of renewable power
I'm just here plugging this because I feel like its a really, really big deal that is easy to overlook.

This isn't some speculative new technology, this is a well proven and developed technology being open sourced to the world. Think REPRAP but for batteries.

Right now, batteries are the bottleneck for most renewable energy systems. They have a high initial and recurring cost. They are manufactured only in highly specialized facilities, and they often include problematic materials.

What if home / microgrid scale storage batteries could be readily manufactured from easily accessible parts and materials, lasted 20K+ cycles before needing an overhaul (not being recycled) and could easily be scaled to meed evolving needs?

This is exactly the promise of open-source redox-flow batteries. Have a look at https://fbrc.dev/
to see what I believe is one of the most important potential developments in renewable energy in the last few decades.
Right, these types of hearsay are only useful if they can lead investigators to more evidence that is actually supported by a solid source/chain-of-legitimacy. So it can be valuable but probably shouldn’t be submersible to court or at least the defense should really be able to lay into and tell the jury it is -highly- suspect.
Content aside, I'm fascinated by the typography in this book. It's simultaneously beautiful and horrendous!

I don't know enough about Japanese orthography or keming rules to be sure but it looks very much like they took a variable width font with both kanji and latin characters and then hard formatted it into fixed width cells?

Either way, it's nice that the code examples aren't in 8pt font like a lot of the books I have...
> Is this article roughly the application of the startup mindset to research?

Somewhat but a few crucial points are missing for it to be that. For example,

- hire a lot more people (PhD candidates, postdocs) than you have funding to pay till they finish. Keep growing and getting more grants until you get a Nobel prize (or equivalent) or go broke

- fake your data and publish in the top journals/conferences

- don't do any research yourself, just get others to do everything and "coordinate" them. Make sure you get all the credit for the publication. The way to get others to do things is to "collaborate" with them or maybe (promise to) pay them.

Increasing amounts of hormones could lead to less body own production, because there is enough present.

Receptor sensitivity could be altered after intake stop.

A study would be interesting which would apply Proglucagon the precursor to Glucagon and similar hormones to see if it would increase the amount of Glucagon naturally. But as far as I understand there wouldn’t be a patent potential for this approach.
I’ve used Unreal Engine professionally for about 7 years and I would NOT recommend it to an 11-year-old, for much the same reason you don’t first teach people to fly in an Airbus A380.

Historical data, or before AI spam data is the most valuable. Makes sense to pull up the ladders from competitors.
rqlite[1] could basically do this, if you use read-only nodes[2]. But it's not quite a drop-in replacement for SQLite at the write-side. But from point of view of a clients at the edge, they see a SQLite database being updated which they can directly read[3].

That said, it may not be practical to have hundreds of read-only nodes, but for moderate-size needs, should work fine.

> Seller agents in the Bay Area will definitely "blacklist" buyers who use this, as they've done for Redfin and Open Listings. How are you solving this?

OL founder here. A few points to consider:

- We represented buyers on plenty of transactions in the Bay Area and had very competitive acceptance rates. Of course there is an art to being included in the counter process but unsurprisingly, sellers mostly optimize for expected value (money * certainty) and the highest legit offer wins. Vague notions of not wanting to transact with a "disruptor" go away pretty quickly when you realize it's a bona-fide offer + compelling buyer letter + pro agent who has done way more successful transactions than most. If you have a standardized process for preparing and presenting offers in a market and optimize it over thousands of reps, you can actually submit pretty compelling offers.

- An actual point of friction/discrimination to consider (that applies to all markets) is when the user is at an open house and the listing agent asks who their agent is. When they said OL, the agent would often try to dunk on us and steal the client. Important to prep the buyer with what to say in this moment so that this doesn't happen (e.g. tell them to just give the name of the agent who would be delivering their offers + give them compelling stats about that agent's performance). Rare that they'd bad-mouth a named person to their client.

- Throughout the time we operated, the Bay Area was a relatively small and unique market. We had a healthy business there from the early-adopter techie crowd, but ultimately focused more in Los Angeles because the market diversity yielded more useful product insights. Do not design for the Bay if you're trying to build a national (or even CA-wide) real estate product!
Windows Server has a complete monopoly on the Windows Server workload market. It's the same argument that folks use to defend Apple and iPhones. A market can be fairly "niche" but have a massive value capable of anti-competitive practices.

imagine a virtual (green) thread which the kernel doesn't run in parallel until you tell it it's ok to do so (when you explicitly yield control) and then can continue from that place when you explicitly tell it to.

Agreed! I find myself writing or other content that I don't share around. Just sits on my site. Helped me by getting it out of my head and if someone stumbles on it, great. If not, all good!
Haha funny analogy. What you and @alwa said makes sense: thanks for sharing that. It's related to Caveat #1 I mentioned above, but I like the idea of being able to toggle on/off the header/footer, to simulate real-world scrolling behaviour. I got that added to our list.
You forgot the original need: share a single IPv4 among different services.

If going IPv6-only, the need for a reverse proxy is seriously lowered. You could spin multiple servers up (even on different machines), listening to 443. Have each service handle its certificate renewal, etc.

There's a world of difference between "I think drug possession laws are inappropriate" or other capricious or arbitrary laws, and a person who thinks:

Extremely easy interop with native code is the main selling point of guile IMO. You just link in guile as a library and can have C code call scheme code and vice versa. Makes it great for any native program that needs an embedded scripting language (much like Lua). Does Racket support that use-case?
Anyone who grew up with artist impressions and scientific guesses about Pluto was quite surprised when the first close-up photos of Pluto were released. NASA was very wrong about how it looked and what it was made of.

The blue we all thought it was came from its atmosphere as seen from far away, not because it was an icy world reflecting blue light through ice and snow - the ice and snow on its planetary surface is a lot more red and brown like Titan because it's methane (like on Titan, and presumably by the color of Europa, on Europa too).

I know we have high fidelity photos of [a reddish brown] Europa, but when I was younger seeing those documentaries of the "oceans under the surface" they were always depicted as blue with alien-looking dolphins swimming through them. To this day they claim it's composed of "water ice", despite being that color in the newer high definition photos.

Another commenter here said "it's an awful odd color for ice" - it's probably methane, like Pluto and Titan, not water ice. Maybe I'm overly skeptical, but just connecting dots.
Me too!

You have to use more expensive radiation hardened fiber for Europa because the cheap stuff will literally go dark. It is likely there will also be a lower rate copper signaling path in case the umbilical tether is slightly damaged. Previous efforts to drill outside of Earth (mostly Mars) have proven difficult; there have been suggestions to instead "melt" through the ice with a radioisotope thermoelectric generator but this presents a different set of problems.

Rest assured that incredibly smart people at a propulsion laboratory are working on solving these sorts of problems. If you are a citizen of the USA, you can help by asking your elected representatives to adequately fund these efforts so these personnel won’t be laid off in the next few months.

Relevant market definition is not so straightforward in antitrust matters. I'm not a product area expert (but do have experience in antitrust litigation) and am certain that Microsoft's attorney's would say that such a market is too narrowly defined.

It's scientifically rational to believe in "aliens". There is plenty of evidence supporting a theory of abiogenesis. Even though we have not actually observed the process entirely, we are reasonably confident on some mechanisms by which it may occur.

Ghosts, on the other hand, are pretty far out there. We have no evidence or even any working thesis of how the consciousness of individuals could persist in some ethereal form after death.

Completely agree. It is regrettable how few of the old papers are accessible now, either hidden behind paywalls or moldering in some library basement unscanned.
Yeah, and this is probably sufficient for most common cases if we're being honest.

Immutability and bitemporal querying are nice features in Datomic, but the trade offs for most teams are an unfamiliar query language, unfamiliar runtime/hosting requirements, unknown performance footguns, little if any integration with 3rd party tools, and (until recently) licensing costs. If it were me, I'd probably deal with the headache or complexity of adding triggers/permissions and audit tables to Postgres to get that functionality if all of those other things are solved instead.

I'm going to be honest, every time I've evaluated Azure - either for personal use or at my job - it's seemed less like a competitive cloud offering and more like a sink for IT departments overly burdened with money. I mean, all cloud is like that, but at least on AWS the pricing is fairly straightforward if you want to economize.

As an example: I was looking at remote desktop hosting at work once. Azure lists no pricing; they give you a calculator that has about 40 knobs you can tweak, and it doesn't include the cost of software licenses. Oh wait, software licenses? Shouldn't Microsoft just bundle the cost of the Windows licenses into the cost of hosting Windows? Yeah, you'd think so, but no! Azure remote desktop is actually all BYOL (bring your own license) and you need to either buy special Enterprise SKU licenses (E5/E7 AFAIK) that Microsoft only sells through resellers (at twice the cost of a normal Windows client license[0]) or have all your employees on Windows volume keys that somehow magically license the VMs when they connect to their remote desktop (which... defeats the point of remote desktop).

On AWS they just list pricing for people with their own Windows licenses and people who want to buy a license through AWS. All the licensing costs are bundled into the monthly cost of the VM and they list fairly straightforward performance, RAM, and storage tiers for those VMs. It was at least enough information to inform me that remote desktop was a fool's errand no matter how much it might fix other IT problems. The Azure pricing assumes you're already so deep into the Microsoft ecosystem that you're mainlining volume license keys like heroin and Microsoft has your bank account details on speed-dial.

[0] If you don't want to mess about with separate VMs per user and want, say, Windows Server with a bunch of people signed into one VM, then the licensing costs double again. I would REALLY like to know what would motivate someone to want shared hardware so much that they'd pay twice as much for the Windows licenses over separate machines.
Agreed. So we are on the same page: this article was essentially pointless. Just post the other one next time?

Personally I skip the middleman when I can with "find ... -exec cmd {} +"

find . -type d -exec chmod g+s {} +

Or even minimise arguments by including a test if the chmod is even needed:

find . -type d \! -perm -g=s -exec chmod g+s {} +

I actually have a script that fixes up permissions, and I was delighted to fit it in a single find invocation which only performs a single stat() on each file in the traversal, and only executes chown/chmod at all for files that need change:

# - ensure owner is root:shared
# - ensure dirs have 775 permissions (must have 775, must not have 002)
# - ensure files have 775 (if w+x), 664 (if w), 555 (if x) otherwise 444 permissions
find LIST OF DIRS \
'(' \! '(' -user root -group shared ')' -print -exec chown -ch root:shared {} + ')' , \
'(' -type d \! '(' -perm -775 \! -perm -002 ')' -print -exec chmod -c 775 {} + ')' , \
'(' -type f -perm /222 -perm /111 \! -perm 775 -print -exec chmod -c 775 {} + ')' , \
'(' -type f -perm /222 \! -perm /111 \! -perm 664 -print -exec chmod -c 664 {} + ')' , \
