I knew Clydeside had built a lot of ships, but I hadn't realised quite how many until I found this:

"In the 1890s, British shipyards built seventy-five percent of ships worldwide, two-thirds of which came from Clydeside"

I suspect he still uses coke, just not as much as back in his heyday, which would also explain why he's not as prolific.
So your car relies on the very things that may be unavailable in a major disaster scenario? I wonder if we're building insufficient redundancy into our civilisation always assuming all the modern niceties must always be there.
If BSDobelix had done some basic research, this would have turned up:

"In 2024, to escape Russia's investors due to the Ukrainian war, the Jolla initial company filed for bankruptcy, continuing its activity under the JollyBoys name." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolla)

Quite a gutsy move, in my opinion, and as far away from "near scam" as can be.
You’ve managed to portray the essence of my conservatism in a funny and satirical manner.

Every time we change something “for the better”, we ought to keep in mind that the old way was a solution to some problem that we no longer know or remember.
I do agree that the roundabout pictured in the article does not seem to include any considerations towards non car traffic, but at least in Germany the vast majority of roundabouts have seperate bicycle lanes and zebra crossings on all entrances, meaning foot and bicycle traffic has right of way. As a pedestrian I vastly prefer these to intersections in nearly every situation.
> I like to make silly things, and I also like to put in minimal effort for those silly things

Saying that and then use Rust is like saying, "I want hassle-free driving, that's why I drive a car with a 7-speed manual shift".

If you want a full-auto, then use it. "Minimal effort" is the reason why people wrote garbage collectors in the first place.
For anyone else wondering; it's written in Go, and it keeps state inside its config file, for example sources (like a db connection string).
Thanks, my mistake. I’ve corrected it. In my initial draft, I wanted to convey a sense of "enduring innovation" so I used that term symbolically as a placeholder. It went right past me during the final edits.
This looks interesting but I was disappointed to see that registration requires polluting the root domain with a TXT record. Would be nice if this could be at a subdomain like _octothorpe-verify or something like that.
- in Haskell <> is binary operator of a Monoid

- in Elixir <> is Binary concatenation operator. Concatenates two binaries. This seems like it might be kind of a joke, actually, purposefully confusing "binary operator" with "an operator that takes two binaries" for humorous effect?

- in Gleam <> is string concatenation operator

As far as I can see it, they are taking inspiration from Haskell, where <> denotes the monoid binary operation, one concrete example being in the monoid of Lists binary operator being list concatenation, of which String is one example.

But really, <> for inequality is also kind of dumb and nonstandard idea (from mathematical notation perspective), originating from Algol. != which C popularized is more clear, and corresponds to the mathematical symbol, of course =/= would be even more close, but that is one more character.

ML originally used <> for inequality, following the standard (in CS) of Algol, and it was Haskell which deviated from that tradition. So F# uses still Algol tradition, but Haskell uses /= and C and others use !=, for more mathematical and logical notation.
Because LTO is a global decision while amalgamation (or unity builds) is a local decision. As a global decision, LTO can't be too slow and is subject to heavier trade-offs. Combining files in this way is a local decision that you can just do if you know it would be a-okay and doesn't otherwise impact the whole build.
Looks really nice. Is there any document or guide comparing it to the common RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr etc)?

Also which boards are supported?
If you quiesce the rest of the VM then you should be able to correlate the CPU usage of the virtualization process to your workload, right?

My Side of the Mountain was one my mom got me that has really stuck with me. About a boy running away from home and living in a tree, so good -> https://shepherd.com/book/my-side-of-the-mountain

I loved Robin Hood, and at my local library, I found this amazing book called Bows Against the Barons by Geoffrey Trease. I highly recommend it as I loved it -> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1719399.Bows_Against_the...

Rifles for Watie was another one a librarian recommended me and I read in grade school and loved -> https://shepherd.com/book/rifles-for-watie

The classic Dragonlance Chronicles were amazing:

I loved the Box Car Children, mostly book #1, but the rest were good.

Hardy Boys was also a series I adored, but I am not sure how they have aged.

My son is 7 and he is reading Harry Potter and just loving it. So I highly recommend that one. I didn't read it until college and it is one of my favorite series. She writes incredible characters and weaves them together so perfectly.

As I got to my teenage years...
- Dirk Pitt's adventure books kept me reading all day.
- Snow Crash really blew my mind.
- Catch 22 stood out fo rme.
- Atlas Shrugged and all of her books I liked (but not for the weird cult thing.
- Classic Tom Clancy
- Upton Sinclair The Jungle - Seismic impact on my view of the world.
- Native Son in high school is something I think about to this day and bothers me.

Which is reasonably simple that you can build a complete 1.0 server in C in an afternoon, and add some 1.1 stuff like keep-alives, content-length, etc. I did that for fun once, on github.com/lionkor/http
I just want to upvote this one; it is amazing and one of the most recommended books on a book website I run when people talk about life changing books (https://shepherd.com/book/siddhartha)
As someone who mostly stopped listening to podcasts just around the time the medium started to be taken over by overproduced vacuous drivel (I recall outrage from indie podcasts over random ads being injected into their audio), I always find these NotebookLLM "podcasts" unconvincing because it's just random speakers regurgitating information in between platitudes and praise for the most mundane and arbitrary things.

Now that you mention it, that does fit what has at this point become the primary podcast style so I guess it's actually being surprisingly realistic because the thing it tries to mimic is already so artificial.
You don't need to post like that, either. And yet here we are.
Good one. In general a tricky thing to be aware of with vim: when I add a new variant that uses more characters, the ones with less characters will get a delay.

I presume one can tweak that delay even. But personally, I'll make all the shortcuts "symmetric", eventually. Indeed "gs" or "gv". In other cases, It'd become "gds", "gdd" or such. But "eventually", I try to change stuff more permanently once I see how I actually use it over a few days or weeks.

What native capabilities do PWAs not support?
These apps were written for X11 and NFS, so they can run on any node in a cluster. The were typically deployed on commercial UNIX systems and ported to Linux when Sun went belly up. In practice, I don't think porting them again will be needed. It is enough to qualify a different distribution if Redhat chose to exit the workstation market. There are already companies like NoMachine that keep X11 running.

It is not even about the access (people usually use nx or even vnc for that). It is about having a system that can work as a part of a cluster (network filesystem, X11), with all base GUI utilities (terminals, file managers, browsers, pdf viewers) supporting that.
Turbo Pascal theme was much better, imo. 31-colored identifiers are so DOS <4.
Clive Barker's Books of Blood, Stephen King's stuff up until the early 90s (I later found out the point where the books turned boring was when he'd stopped using drugs), short stories of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard and Clark Ashton Smith, and The Destroyer pulp novels, particularly after Will Murray started writing them.

> Nintendo makes a lot of money selling hardware

They do, but the majority of their library is not available on current hardware. I think not understanding this as a business decision is a valid opinion.
I think it's ok in awk because awk is seen as a scripting language, where brevity matters and there aren't many variables anyway

I’m not sure that is the case, but if it is, it’s interesting to me as a fairly extreme example of the free market self regulating.
How about giving humans the ability to read the AI version? In my browser I can already select different page styles (eg viewing the print version), so this doesn't seem too impossible.

One thing I like about The Secret of Kells is some of a meta-joke: since the plot takes place in the Middle Ages, and perspective was not yet in fashion, there's no perspective at all in this movie. It's very in your face (just like the Wes Anderson's lateral tracking shots), but just as charming.
> If you really like to put in a minimal effort then why on earth would you use Rust

Because it's a fun language and you really do get to avoid the borrow checker nowadays if you just use `Arc` and `Clone` all over the place. I'm the same as OP.

Also, I love the package ecosystem. I know it (rightfully) gets some of the flack that the JS ecosystem gets, but most of the time, I truly don't care. I enjoy C programming as well, but C not having a common packaging system / cargo equivalent has really hurt it a bit in my opinion.
Twilight of the Crypto-Geeks (2000)
Sure, that's just the nature of interacting with a remote object of any type. But I don't think that invalidates wanting the app to be designed in a "local first" manner with respect to whatever happens to the cloud backend.
Interesting! I got no citation/link until I clicked the "Double-Check Response" button, it just replied "The young whale that hung out in Pillar Point Harbor was named Teresa T."

One of the drafts had a little more: "Teresa T is the name of the young humpback whale that was spotted in Pillar Point Harbor. She made headlines in September 2024 when she was seen swimming near the shore, drawing crowds and causing excitement among local residents."
Completely failed to load with Brave on laptop.

Loaded in Chrome. Various effects were annoying. Right click - load in new tab didn't work for linked articles. And no changed link colors to show which articles I'd read before. Fancy graphics break web conventions.
I think it might be easier for the blind to differentiate them than people with normal vision tbh. The designs on the face are all quite similar, but the designs on the edges are all unique.
I think in part it's because its harder to transfer money between banks in the US - no equivalent of the faster-payments-scheme which allows a free transfer within a few minutes in the UK. Cheques do provide a layer of universal compatibility.

I think its also the reason behind the success of Venmo (and earlier PayPal) to allow for free/very low-cost money transmission.
I wonder how far we will move the goalposts once we have a multimodal transformer type model running on neuromorphic hardware.

I'm not overthinking it, some papers describe it [0] and [1] for example. I agree for some subjects you can deal with some error.

The problem is not how often but how bad just one single error can be. My point was on controversial topic, where a single error can deal serious damage. Yes it must be error-free like for a nuclear reactor. Just imagine a Q&A chatbot answering questions on the subject of Israel and Palestine or something else really touchy, do you really think you can afford any error/hallucination ?

Fun thing about that : core PHP used to and still is very very close to HTTP, to the point where I would say your average decent PHP programmer used to knows more about how HTTP work that your average other similar language where the web library abstract stuff. Eg a PHP dev knows a form has to be multipart/form-data if you send files etc ...

But one of the if not THE major exception is this : buffering and flushing works automagically and a lot of PHP dev end up massively blindsinded by it at some point

PS: with the rise of modern PHP and it's high quality object based framework, this become less and less true

PS2: I am not in ANY way saying anything good or bad or superior or inferior about any dev here, just a difference in approach
Darren Shan's books about vampires/vampaneze.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Saga_of_Darren_Shan

It helped me escape from a lot of stuff, gave me a fantasy world to run to when books were all I had.

All of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books gave me a character to look up to, someone to aspire to be like. At the time, there was maybe only 3 released but I read them over and over again.

"What will you do, Reacher?"

"The right thing, Mom."
Should have say that so (Nowhere does the article say ‘up to HTTP/1.1’ even talking about HTTP/2 and HTTP/3).

HTTP/1.0 is simple. HTTP/1.1 is undoubtedly more complex but manageable.

The statement that HTTP is simple is just not true. Even if Go makes it look easy.
Unbelievable that you're saying this when the last 14 years have seen the same party in power, who throughout that entire period have ran on a platform with little in common with "the greens". It's like as if the Reps had been in power for 14 years straight in the US, and you'd still find a way to blame the Dems for a nation-level issue.

Might've wanted to consider upgrading the grid during those 14 years. Not like the need for an energy transition hasn't been known for decades.
I agree they're a pain for pedestrians (cars are faster, drivers too busy looking at every other car entering the intersection to look at pedestrians) the Dutch do car and bike roundabout well (embedding the car one in a bike one)
You can always reduce anything to anything, but in this case, the reduction is relevant because it only adds a polynomial factor. Showing that a problem can be reduced to another one in polynomial time is core to proving np-completeness.

That means that tsp and tso-opt are in the same ballpark of complexity. The reason tsp-opt isn't called np-complete isn't related to its complexity, but to the fact that only decision problems get to be called that.

As I said, there are problems where the decision problem and the optimization problem are completely unrelated in terms of complexity, but tsp isn't one of those.
>For the pollution question, my retort is "which kind?" I claim diesels create more NOx and soot for less CO2. So, which is your priority?

I'd say "it depends". In a dense city I see NOx and soot as being a higher priority. If you're out in the sticks, probably your contribution to global warming (CO2 et al) should be weighted more heavily.
I think that's the point?
Need to check it.
There are other Unix systems but by far the easiest solution is simply making sure all installed apps can still behave as X11 clients. Wayland or Xwayland is not really any issue. Few people use Xorg directly, as the new deployments usually require some form of a remote access.
> but I still think that there's a space for a higher-level language with most of what people like from Rust that has a (tracing) garbage collector and is slightly more relaxed with trying to design a way around every marginal heap allocation

I dream about a Rust subset that's exactly that. What would be even better is if you could just use Rust packages directly with it. Since these libraries already do compile, correctness has been verified.
I’d test (and extensively read on) push first.

Was trying to compare to regular HDDs. Going by this[1] article about WD's roadmap, it seems 32TB CMR disks might be available in 2029.

In comparison the 4x suggested would mean 16TB SSDs for consumer models... though the thought of PLC does sound terribly enticing.

Career fairs, tech meetups, open-source contributions, tech blog etc.

It's hard but tbh if I saw applicants with those things I'd definitely want to hire them.

We've had a strong focus on interviews in the past, but we had bad hires (well, one bad hire, but its a small team) get through those.

Someone can BS in an interview, but they can't BS months of open-source contributions or a tech blog they've kept or whatever. At least nowhere near as easily.

This is just baby steps to Nintendo weaseling themselves into Supreme Court to get Sony v. Connectix overturned. MGM v. Grokster attempted to overturn Sony v. Universal (VCR lawsuit), but while the movie studios did win, it was not an overturn of the VCR lawsuit.

You are a smuggler
They fraudulently profit

(but we shouldn't expect much budgie smuggler smuggling, because although they are small and light, they aren't worth anything. Cicero claims most quotidian decisions are taken between more honourable and less honourable or more expedient or less expedient, and that it is exceptional to weigh the less honourable but more expedient course against the more honourable but less expedient; in this case smuggling budgie smugglers is neither)

Is econometrics something like https://xkcd.com/1838/ ?

Re: rayiner, I'd say Pareto was right on there: a think tank's job is not to discern, as Cicero would have it, but to come up with derivations that fit their funders' residues.

As far as twitter goes, I'm pretty sure foxes have more sense [this is also one of the areas where I take issue with the psmiths[0]: they don't seem to think of CEOs as the hired help; high class house servants as The Virginian (1902) puts it]; the lion has a huge mane but the fox has at least two exits to its den (and, if we believe the eastern tales, more than one[1] tail).

We do get to see some amazing spin on it, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE0GTgTzoxs

EDIT: forgot capital destruction; that's a wonderful example of a lion (the Rastafarian one) infamous for doing the foxes' dirty work.
No discussion about roundabouts can be complete without a mention of the (mostly) Dutch "turbo roundabout", where the lane you take going into a multi-lane roundabout depends on where you want to exit, and you can't / are not allowed to switch lanes while on it:

I've lived with both roundabouts and 4-way stops, I think they both have their places (and also if you haven't lived with them both are hard to pick up on) 4-way stops are great for slowing traffic in neighbourhoods (you have to stop at every block), roundabouts better on faster mid level roads
I live on the Firth of Clyde and the Waverley passes my house twice a day during the summer, plus it sales round the local lochs so when you are out and about you always catch glimpses of it. Part of it's charm and allure is that not only is it beautifully restored, but you can visit the engine room to see a traditional piston engine, and observe the paddles in the water as well - it's a gateway drug into engineering for many a child here. There is something magnificent about watching the Waverley catching and passing a Vanguard-class Trident submarine on it's way into or out of base. The paddle steamers certainly aren't slow - the Waverley is one of the fastest boats on the river - it's faster than the cross-clyde Ferries normally - I check them all using the magnificent Marine Traffic app! For anyone in London, it does a short Autumn season down there, sailing under Tower Bride and out to Southend for a trip round the big windfarm etc
Basically I would like to cache the server rendered pages for not logged in users. When you have thousands of active users such kind of cache helps a lot. Though this can be solved by SSG if the framework supports it.
The preference for 4 way stops in a country that otherwise prioritises traffic flow so much is really jarring. Traffic lights too to some extent.

About 5 years ago my wife an I were doing a California road trip. At one point on a relatively rural road -- I think it might have been Dry Creek road heading into Napa but cannae mind exactly -- we got stuck in traffic for around 45 minutes. We thought there must have been some huge accident or roadworks closing the road. But got the the end and nope... 4 way stop essentially letting one. car. through. at. a. time.

I distinctly remember exclaiming "why the f wasn't that a roundabout" after clearing. Funny that it is now one of my strongest memories of that trip haha.
Whenever the maths says so - the range you suggest is due to dividends typically collectively paying slightly higher than the risk free rate. Were we to have higher rates and companies not paying dividends en mass then that would be a negative number.

How often? I would guess often - especially over the ~100 year history - and not something you would want to have wrong when writing billions in options.

This was not my point. My point is that Apple uses old panels, which are pushier on eyes, instead of asking LG to put normal backlight. A supposedly premium manafacturer stuck with the panel from 2016; Apple stopped innovating, outside the M cpu series.
