Zig looks quite interesting, and I'd love to read about how it's currently being used in production too! Anybody got that article?
That's some good feedback and I honestly think this should have been an definition list from the start.

I was interested about how it would change if I replaced those `span` with `p` and it still reads the entire block for me with VoiceOver.

- Parental guidance, group

- [arrow right]

- end of, Parental guidance, group

- [arrow right]

- 14+

- [arrow right]

- Production Year, group

- …

When I look at the Chrome Accessibility Tree it shows

heading "Tags"

paragraph "Parental guidance"

StaticText "14+"

paragraph "Production year"

StaticText "2016"

When I revert back to the span the `paragraph` is replaced by `generic`. I only have hands on experience with VO so I imagine that JAWS/NVDA might yield different results.

I do believe you're right that this shouldn't be a `aria-label` and I will replace it with `aria-description`, but I don't think that we can say that `aria-label` should only be used to fully replace the contents, as a landmark container would also be named by aria-label: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/...

Edit: I just tested this but `aria-description` is not read at all. And https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/A... seems to indicate that aria-label should still be ok, but the div does have a `role="application"`
Did someone invent capitalism?

It's a loose concept, a bag of things including basic human behaviour/self interest, mutually beneficial transactions between willing participants and the rules provided by governments.
It's not filtering out the left and right specifically, but it is filtering out the people that have succumbed to stereotypy as their default heuristic and forget that a conversation is between two humans, not simply a consumerist/anti-consumerist call-and-response.

not all eu, just some countries. And those(some that want it) are gradually replacing ru enriched fuel with the one from westinghouse.

I think one can consider what AI will bring to the field of physics. Merit is quite deserving of math and science of building tools which will unlock potential discoveries from here into the future.

Despite all of the talk surrounding AI in the workforce/business world, I think it is actually most important in science.
Hi! Good to hear. Why it is not mentioned anywhere on the main site?

When someone writes prompts to commission a human artist to create a painting, we never even remotely consider them an artist

Why should we consider someone an artist when they write prompts to a computer to have it create paintings? It's clear that the painting is not being created by them

The best book I've ever read isn't the best book I've read but one that connects me with a particular moment: The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov.

It was the start of summer school holidays back in the late 1980s, in my teenage years. I went to my local library and, because I didn't know what I wanted to read, I decided to pick one book blindly from the fiction section. I didn't know what book I had borrowed until I got home. I had never heard about Bulgakov or that particular novel. I had no easy way to know who that writer was or if the book was good or not. I was tempted to return it. But I didn't.

I read the book over several weeks of a particularly boring (and lonely) summer. I enjoyed reading it although I didn't love it. Looking back, I suppose that book gave me something I needed in a completely random way.

Rivers are a bad idea because they change course, get dredged, dammed, etc. Into the ocean is best, preferably somewhere deep and remote (simply to reduce the risk of people messing with it.) Deep trenches that would fuck with fish nets anyway are a good place for it.
It's kind of strange that spreadsheet languages don't support money well. Using spreadsheets for escalator style automation is actually quite good and would really be amazing in a language that took typing seriously.
Well, my feeling it the exact mirror of that. It is you who I view as hopelessly wrong, someone who has cultish devotion to a failing technology.

What would a disinterested observer make of this?

They'd look for objective evidence to determine which of us is closer to reality.

For example, they might look at what the world is doing right now. What is being installed, renewables or nuclear? Presumably those who are spending money are trying to get the most bang for the buck.

If we look at that, renewables are soundly trouncing nuclear. Even in China, that country that is held up as the last best hope by nuclear advocates. New installs (which reflect the current conditions better than total installed capacity, which is a lagging indicator) are massively in favor of renewables there and elsewhere.

The nuclear advocate who explains away nuclear's troubles as due to the selective omnipotence of greens (selective, since they don't seem to be doing nearly as well on other issues) must really stretch their conspiracy theorizing to explain such a widespread result.

I will also note that you didn't explain how nuclear can power mining in a way that renewables can't.
It uses BigDecimal. My first goal with the library was to provide a well-designed API. So to keep it simple for myself, I relied on BigDecimal for the calculations.
It makes sense in systems where memory/CPU is more constrained than normal. A statically compiled web framework can easily use 1/10th to 1/100 the memory/cpu of something like rails or django or flask

Oh sorry, that's a typo. Thanks for pointing out!
It's all of the above.

Most modern languages (including everything from Java to OCaml) don't fit neatly in any one box because they have added a bunch of features from other paradigms that make multi-paradigm programming possible. Kotlin is that way to an extreme, because instead of strapping on functional features to an OOP core like Java did it was designed out of the gate to be all of the above.

When I program in Kotlin I'm constantly shifting between "paradigms" based on what is actually needed in the moment. It's one of the best languages I've ever worked with for learning the strengths and weaknesses of different programming styles because it has such strong support for most of them.

My (agressively tree-shaked) notes and links on amateur cooking. Cooking is an underrated skill.

https://github.com/slowernews/notebook/blob/master/on-cookin...
Kotlin was originally designed for running on the JVM, so it is generally object-oriented, but the language and the standard library allow for and encourage a functional coding style.

Kotlin is well-suited for DSLs, especially declarative ones (see kotlinx.html[0]).

In Brazil (where I worked) we used Kotlin + Ktor. In Europe, they are heavy Kotlin users.

For cooking then for me it's cook repeatedly. Like most things, the more you do it the better you get as you learn what works, what does not, what you like, how your oven/hob/pans work (because they all vary).

I must have a dozen or more 'cookery' books but they can't tell me how hot is hot, how my pans conduct heat, how different my oven is to theirs.

Keep cooking and maybe start by perfecting a food you love.
I'm sure they are but they drive me nuts. If I ever become filthy rich and in doing so sell my soul and become a bad person, one of my priorities will doubtless be to have the blue led inventors hunted down remorselessly.[1]

The only military commentators saying Russian troops are untrained are pretty ignorant and biased. Russia certainly sent untrained troops in the early part of the war, but most of them were by mistake and got recalled quickly. Russia recognized the need to train their troops (they only sent 100k troops and planned on an early peace that Boris Johnson scuttled).

To buy training time, they hired Wagner. Wagner needed bodies, so they recruited untrained guys from prison to die for them (though some small percentage survived and are presumably still working for Wagner). After 6 months of this, the Russian training pipeline started pushing out troops at a steady pace and has been ever since.

This is in stark contrast to Ukraine where you get several videos every week from someone who was kidnapped off the streets and sent to die in the trenches 24-48 hours later. A couple guys on my dev team haven't left their homes in months (female family getting them stuff) because they are so afraid of getting shanghaied.

As to "used wrong for the training", everyone is training/preparing for the last war. Nobody is sure how to train for this war as the only part that has a historical analog is trench storming, but that was over 100 years ago and the tactics have changed.

Did ANYONE expect calvary to reappear? I don't think so, but Russian troops are dumping money into buying small motorcycles and dirt bikes so they can mount up and charge the enemy trenches.

The real issue for me is that Russia is working out how to fight the new style of war while we in the US are not. Russia is going to walk away from this war with a massive 1M+ army of seasoned veterans while we can barely muster around 70k of active infantry most of whom aren't veterans and NONE with combat experience in the new way of war.
Most disciplines in CS have done that one way or another.

a proper industrial pipeline for e-waste [0].

What I found heartbreaking from the stories from India, China and
Africa is that mainly kids of about 8 - 16 yo work on illegal
recycling.

They smash up the e-waste by hand, so they're breathing in dust clouds
of plastic and metal particles, PFAS, glass fragments, PCB... Then
they wash out the recoverables using a light aqua-regia (mix of nitric
and hydrochloric acid). The industrial health effects are
unimaginable.

EDIT: Just saw your update and concur that design-for-RRR is the way
forward.

It's much more "multi-paradigm" or "unopinionated" than Java, but since it is a pretty thin layer over Java and uses its standard library, the ecosystem and idioms are still very much OOP by convention. But, I see the language itself as more akin to C++ in that it really doesn't strongly push much in one direction or another, but they also both lack built-in tools or optimizations for doing real functional programming. So, I'd say that Kotlin, like C++, is an unopinionated language that does well for OOP and/or imperative styles.
That's not the case for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat.

The one you describe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-36_(missile) - is being actively phased out.

By logical extension, the best growth model would then be a single big business that runs everything in the economy. I'm not sure that history would agree with that conclusion.
Everyone has consistently treated mining waste as an unavoidable side effect of mining, which only economical solution is to dig a whole in the ground and put it there. The only minimum standard that get enforced is that the waste should not leak into the ground water.
The oldest WiFi standards, at 1 Mb/s or 2 Mb/s, could easily establish point-to-point links at 50 km or even 100 km, with the condition of using good directive antennas mounted on high-enough masts.

This could be used to implement bridges between LANs located at great distances one from the other. There were commercial products implementing such LAN bridges through WiFi.

When an access point must transmit and receive omni-directionally, to reach any station placed randomly around it, that diminishes a lot the achievable range.

It doesn't really work like that.

1) The model outputs a ranked list of all tokens; the probability always sums to 1. Sometimes there is a clear "#1 candidate", very often there are a number of plausible candidates. This is just how language works - there are multiple ways to phrase things, and you can't have the model give up every time there is a choice of synonyms.

2) Probability of a token is not the same as probability of a fact. Consider a language model that knows the approximate population of Paris (2 million) but is not confident about the exact figure. Feed such a model the string "The exact population of Paris is" and it will begin with "2" but halfway through the number it will have a more or less arbitrary choice of 10 digits. "2.1I don't know" is neither a desirable answer, nor a plausible one from the model's perspective.
Does this library handle rounding rules [0]? In many countries, prices are rounded to the nearest 5 cent, but the rules can often be elaborate. It looks like the allocation interface might support this, but at the moment I didn't find any mention of it without digging into the docs themselves.

- 1 actor on 2 thread = you are probably doing it wrong.

As for the rest, whether or not they are used in communication systems and whether or not they are cpu-bound, consider there are and run the handle on a separate loop from the main message dispatching. Otherwise you _will_ delay messaging if handles don't await.

When I learned to cook on the line, the grads from culinary school had me read "On Cooking", the textbooks they learned from in school. Teaches fundamentals and basic skills.

Working with professional chefs in a higher end restaurant is by far the best way to learn. One unique, homely skill that I picked up from Sun-Tues experience, is how to craft tasty recipes from the ingredients and leftovers at hand, which is more about having a recipe repertoire. A good cooking game is to take one main, and one flavoror, ingredient and craft a recipe from those.

Not necessarily. Quoting Greg Lemond on training: "It never gets any easier, you just get faster". Constantly pushing yourself into discomfort is the only way to improve and maintain the highest level of performance. Once you think you've "made it" and stop pushing your boundaries, you're already well into decline.

Even though the many of the Oscars nowadays feel rigged (with full lobbying arms from the studios behind them), my understanding was that the "Academy" (from the Academy Awards) consists mostly of your fellow filmmakers.

Eh, I was curious and did some more research. Look at Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), all of whom have been serving similar amount of time - they have sponsored bills over 1k, co-sponsored ranging from 3k to 8k. Compare that to Bernie's ~ 200 co-sponsored and 3 sponsored ... I'd say thats a very weak performance compared to his peers.

Whoa what’s with the totally confrontational argumentative stance?!? I’m very confused by your reply. I thought we were having a nice conversation about filtering.

Lighters on Shrek were indeed not changing the pixel filter shot by shot. We did, however, multiple times, sit down to evaluate and compare various pixel filters built into the renderer, and when we did that, the pixel filter actually was changed for every shot, so they could be compared.

The filter mattered because it was set globally, and because the resolution was low, less than 1k pixels vertically. That is precisely why we spent time making sure we were using the filter we wanted.

I am in fact talking about different pixel filters, and the director and supes could tell the difference in short animated clips scanned to film, which is why it was so impressive to me. If you don’t believe me, I can only say that reflects on your experience and assumptions and not mine.

Both subtle high frequency sizzle as well as other symptoms of aliasing do occur when the pixel filter is slightly too sharp. I don’t know why you’re arguing that, but you seem to be making some bad assumptions.

But, this is more of a applied math than physics. There are many other scientist that contributed more towards understanding of quantum systems, e.g. Aharonov.
