> But if you say that a battleship floats on the water in a similar way to a rubber duck floating in the water... it's actually not similar... they are the same. It's the same water and the same physics. The "only" appreciable difference is scale.

But battleship doesn't equal floating in water, floating in water is a property it has.

If you're saying "the way a battleship floats in water is like how a rubber duck floats in water" then it's not an analogy, it's as you say just describing two versions of the same thing.

But it is an analogy to directly compare the two objects, because "floating on water" is a property of the objects it's not the object you are comparing.

Wikipedia begins its page on analogies with this, sourced from The Oxford Companion to the English Language: "Analogy is a comparison or correspondence between two things (or two groups of things) because of a third element that they are considered to share."

Or Marriam-Webster: "a comparison of two otherwise unlike things based on resemblance of a particular aspect"

Apart from rubber ducks and battleships both having the "third element", or aspect, of "primarily used for floating on water", they are definitely two
completely different things. Nobody could look at a rubber duck next to a warship and say "they seem to be the same thing".

The more closely related two things are the more useful and less stretched the analogy available, which is why the analogy about radio waves was so enlightening to so many people in this thread. But it's bang on as the definition of what an analogy is.

AI becomes a lot more useful in a commercial setting when you can steer it towards a desired style which means training. Would imagine once they roll out the ability to drive it that way they'll include the licence to use whatever you feed into it for their own training too and many will capitulate.

You mean GPU libraries, right?

Just watch how these become used in every other app over the next few years.

And yes, the fact that you won't use those apps does not make it easier for the rest of us.
Yeah, I adopted Hugo and now I regret it. Every release seems to break themes, and many theme maintainers give up trying to keep current, so if you use someone else's theme you're running a small intersection of hugo versions and can't rely on packaged releases.

The problem with Nix is that it's a single monolithic package archive. Every conceivable package must go somewhere in the nixpkgs tree, and is expected to be as vanilla as possible.

On top of that, there is the all-packages.nix global namespace, which implicitly urges everyone to use the same dependency versions; but in practice just results in a mess of redundant names like package_version.1.12_x-feature-enabled...

The move toward flakes only replaces this problem with intentional fragmentation. Even so, flakes will probably end up being the best option if it ever gets coherent documentation.
Which claim? Regarding investments, from the world bank, "The pricing mechanism [a component of a PPA] is the primary mechanism for allocating revenue and market risk in respect of the project between the public and private sectors and is central to the private project proponent’s and its lenders’ assessment of the commercial viability and bankability of the project."

I believe Jigar Shah, the director of the Loan Programs Office at DoE, also talked about the importance of PPAs in attracting outside investment in his book Creating Climate Wealth: Unlocking the Impact Economy

Sure, but there's a difference between "that kind of success" and "any success". To illustrate, imagine an alternate timeline with a company called "Rebu", which provides all the same phone-apps and servers and whatnot for thousands of taxi-services across the world to adopt, replacing their shitty old "computerized dispatch" systems.

Do you believe Rebu could that have managed to draw the same level of venture-capitalist money and unicorn-ness and hype, even sharing the same core technologies, code, and product features?

I don't think it would, and I'm asserting that comes from business-plans, labor relations, legal challenges, government lobbying, investor marketing, etc., which in several cases have been, er, ethically-problematic.

Yea so the thing you do for this is called "compaction", where you effectively merge the original + edits/deletes into a new immutable file. You then change your table metadata pointer to point at the new compacted file, and delete the old files from S3.

Due to the way S3 and the ilk are structured as globally replicated KV stores, you're not likely to get in-place edits anytime soon, and until the cost structure incentivizes otherwise you're going to continue to see data systems that preference immutable cloud storage.

Real-life medical practice is basically going through the motions, then intuitively guessing the issue, prescribing something common since most cases are so banal and next patient please.

Engineer-minded people can discover lots and lots of such "obvious" issues in healthcare and of course the answer isn't that nobody would've guessed it, it just doesn't matter. Healthcare (outside of very specific diagnosable illnesses) is 90%+ medicine theater. People expect some pills, they want a few words with someone in a white coat, and their problem goes away usually by itself. Chronic persistent issues without obvious cause befuddle docs and they often don't find anything even after lots of tests.

Our better health and longevity today is more due to better work conditions, better food, better sanitation and food preservation, basic vaccines, basic disinfectants, basics like penicillin, smoking less etc. And the low hanging fruit to improve further is lifestyle: eating/drinking fewer calories (especially less sugary stuff), exercising/sleeping more and having better social connections. None of it is particularly arcane or in need of precise measurement.
An old timer I worked with during my first internship called these kinds of issues "the law of coincidental failures" and I took it to heart.

I try a lot of obvious things when debugging to ascertain the truth. Like, does undoing my entire change fix the bug?

Unscheduled maintenance intervals exist everywhere. This is not a unique problem.

There is nothing that can save you from being required to hold a broad mix of power generation technologies. Building a monoculture here is completely counterproductive and probably hastens the destruction.

That container is mechanical. It has a failure rate. Failures never occur when you _want_ them to. Again, a _depth_ of strategies is appropriate here.

"Send it by train then bury it under a mountain and just forget about it" is not an actual strategy. It seems to work, because we probably just don't know any better yet, but the people who are uncomfortable are right to be so. Pretending that they simply lack "education" is a pretty rude point of view.
I understand GP's point, but to yours I'll add they have also open sourced and mainstreamed some of their key technologies. So it's not all bad.
Pretty hard for me to lament laws being broken when the laws boil down to "you're not allowed to compete with this monopoly".
I wasn’t aware there was a term for this or that this was not common knowledge - for me I refer to them as “if I fix this, it will break EVERYTHING” cases that come up in my particular line of work frequently, and my peers generally tend to understand as well. Cause/effect in complex symptoms is of course itself complex, which is why the first thing I typically do in any environment is set up metrics and monitoring. If you have no idea what is going on at a granular level, you’ll quickly jump to bad conclusions and waste a lot of time aka $.
Echoing this, loved the product feature callout diagram. Immediately 'view source' to figure out how it was done.
In my experience in Europe, dining cars seem to be more of a Central (and maybe also Eastern) European thing.

Benelux doesn't have dining cars at all, and in France and Italy the best you can usually hope for is a cafe-car that will give you coffee or at most a microwaved snack to take back to your seat.

On the other hand, the German, Swiss and Polish railways still have services with true dining cars where you can sit at a table, a waiter will take your order, then bring you a good-quality hot meal served on a real plate with real silverware (and at least in Poland, actually cooked to order on the train).

Oddly, in some cases eating the dining-car food at your seat is seen as a more premium experience. On Swiss trains, only standard-class passengers need to use the dining car- a member of staff walks through the first class section taking food orders which are then brought to your seat. In my experience of Poland's flagship high-speed EIP services, there are no chairs in the restaurant car- you can either stand and eat at one of the small bar-type tables, or order your food to be brought to your seat.
Meh. There have been Bike Shaped Objects sold at non-bike shops forever. Huffy used to be a complete joke of a bike, but in 1988 the 7-11 team rode "Huffy" frames. (which were really Serottas).

Yeah, there are a lot of bottom bracket standards, most of them aren't proprietary, they're just different. Bottom brackets are a lot better than they were 40 years ago too -- back then you could pull them apart, replace the balls, repack the grease, and change the cups and spindle. And you had to. Now, you get a cartridge BB or a minimal pair of cups and some standard bearings. My sealed bearings now last a lot better than my cup and cone ones did.

Hubs are similar. Cup and cone bearings can be maintained, but they pit, and no one ever really had replacable races. So if your bearings were bad, you replaced the wheel. With better hubs, you just pop out the bearings and pop new ones in.

Old school (7-8sp) Shimano jockey wheels _never_ spun freely. Sram 11 speed ones, even on apex, spin beautifully, and in the case of my gravel bike, are outlasting the derailleur.

I think we're in kind of a new golden age of cycling. There are tons of interesting bikes being made by small providers, using 3d printing, old school steel fabrication, custom carbon. There are tons of small company parts -- most CNC, but some additive. Basic non BSO components are pretty reliable, and even Shimano's low end isn't that bad for the casual crowd. There's a niche for everything, tracklocross or basket bikes or cargo or gravel or mountain touring or full squish. And there are even road bikes too.

iFixit has some good rants, but this isn't one of them.
This is a common trope in superficial historical contextualizing. People who wanna ground their essays in chronological fashion often project their ideas of a supposed primitive past contrasted to a 'modern way' that is rarely more than what they imagine makes sense.

You see that a lot with histories of money projecting this idea of a mythical past where people had to do cumbersome bartering before someone had an idea to invent money, which has no factual basing in history. There's evidence of monies and credit for as long as we have had writing.

Most of these prompts come from LLMs, so it's trivial to instruct them to provide a string that's broken out like that.

Why does that URL redirect to your indigogo site?
I think that's true for e-bikes, but that's perhaps to be expected in a newer market.

Over in analog mountain bikes, we have the new UDH standard, and basically everything else was standardized except some bearings. All mountain bikes are pretty modular. The main manufacturers make the frame, and then bolt on parts from different brake, shock, etc suppliers. There's at least two of each, which keeps things competitive.

I think you find most of the answer you want if you simply examine who "we" is in this context.

It certainly wasn't "us."
Yes, but. E. coli is E. coli and coral is coral. It may not be the case that coral can, on its own, evolve in the ways necessary to save itself from heated oceans in the time that E. Coli could.
Sorry to pop the party but we need perspective. "Scientists breed successfully corals" is not a big deal, marine aquarium keepers reproduce many easy species for decades and have developed the technology to help with that. The problem is that this is a titanic task. There are >350 species of hard corals with zooxanthelae and they have very long life cycles.

The second part of the title is more problematic. The real meat in the article is that the results, the increase in heat tolerance, were minor. Even the authors say that will be unable to cope with the changes coming. Is interesting and relevant to know that the larvae could grow, but we don't even know if this changes are permanent or will have consequences later on a species able to live for 3000 ears. And sadly half of the coral reefs in the planet present in 1950 were lost in just a generation of humans.

For the others: According to James Gosling's intentions, by retaining the familiar syntax of C programming with its use of curly braces, Java aimed to build upon the existing skills and knowledge of a larger community of developers who were already well-versed in C. This decision was meant to make the transition to Java as smooth as possible for those programmers, thereby increasing their adoption of the new language and its associated ecosystem (VM etc.). By the way, JavaScript was originally an embedded Scheme and had nothing in common with Java, except for the Sun marketing team (Brendan Eich was brave and took no pride...).
What about the positive externalities of nuclear power? It’s unfair to only complain about negative externalities - any action whatsoever always has a negative side-effect which can be used as a cynical excuse to block it.
Well to be fair to Rust, Nix can drive anyone crazy. I tried that one too and figured they sniffed way too much of their own drugs, if you pardon the expression. In the meantime I learned `just` in 10 minutes.

Sure, not the same usage patterns, I get that of course, and I love the idea of Nix but they could have went about it very differently with a much better UX / DX... and they refused.

Side topic though, sorry for the digression. Main point was that if you use Rust normally without any weird and not fully accounted for wrappers then everything works fine. I just fired Neovim in a personal project I haven't touched in a year -- 20-30 seconds of LSP compiling stuff and I saw my project-wide compiler warnings immediately after.
La Vanguardia certainly is.

It seems like a bit of iconoclasm to deny the Reconquista because it helps (does it?) with the Catalan claim to independence. In LatAm people don't really care about any of Spain's internal politics, and the Reconquista is simply an accepted fact of history.

The capitalization of the word might be a propagandistic act, but it might also just be an application of modern style, or just recognition that the concept requires a bit more dignity, or something.

This entire sub-thread stinks of... anti-Spanish propaganda, heh.
I need to?

Thanks for the unnecessary correction, when it's pretty clear that my comment you are replying to includes the words "even in areas where holiday home ownership and rental was common as a business".

I don't know why it did not happen before.

All I know is that the situation in coastal resort towns in Cornwall, Devon, and elsewhere in the UK changed utterly when Airbnb became a thing.

I could guess that barrier to entry was always an issue before then; the relative complexity and process involved in listing a property with e.g. Hoseasons, who were the dominant player in the 80s and 90s, and who inspected properties and had greater requirements.

But either way, Airbnb did unambiguously change things. Ask people who lived in Cornish towns whether they're even able to rent a room or a flat.
It's true that the complexity of these kinda projects are enormous, but considering chrome/webkit's monopoly in the browser space, I feel we should always welcome and appreciate alternative efforts...regardless of the project's outcome.

P.S. the website and the probably AI generated logo is giving a sketchy vibe about the project :)
Opinionated solution; always buy used never buy electric. There are enough steel frames in the world that we probably never need to manufacture another one.
It's my experience that says inlining only looks great in microbenchmarks but is absolutely horrible for cache usage and causes other things to become slower.
I think they meant the other way around: you can have a single string in memory containing multiple numbers, and process that string as a stream.

Hmm, I think you make a lot less sense than the original author does. I have been through some of the things he described, I tried Web Components before React in 2014 (used ExtJS, then React since 2016, plus Solid since 2021) and the point about React commodifying developers rings true. "Oh, those are React projects, let's hire some students and fire the leads"... there are multi-billion-dollars-in-revenue companies that do that. Has it happened before React? Sure, but React definitely lends itself to that kind of thinking.
My husband had PD-5 programme about 4 months ago. he sleeps soundly, works out frequently, and is now very active. It doesn’t make the Parkinson’s go away but it did give him better quality of life. I’m surprised a lot of PWP haven’t heard of it, we got the treatment from binehealthcenter. com
I'm convinced most people take BP wrong.

Here's how:

Lie down on a bed on your back, and put the cuff on your arm and get the 'button' within reach of your finger to turn it on. Then completely relax (and DO NOT move) with soft music or whatever. Then without moving your body at all, after 10 minutes (at least) push the button to start the pressurization and reading.

This gives an accurate reading and is often DRAMATICALLY lower than if you don't do it this way. I was convinced I had super high potentially life-threatening BP until I learned this.

Now if you want to see I'm right, get up and walk around some and then sit back down and take another reading. It will be noticeably higher, because your heart starts pumping harder even from minimal movement.
Yup, two years ago I worked with someone who was implementing it at the time. I think on an nRF52-series device, of all things.

I could see this being interesting if you handle all the aspects of pack teardown, rebuild and recertification, and send out finished packs. Would you be comfortable with doing that and standing behind those 100%?

Asking regular people or even highly technical people to assess cell geometry, type, quality, balancing and cell capacity issues is going to result in people dying in fire. It just isn't that easy, even if you start with brand new, matched cells.

Fireproof casing sounds great, as long as it's also being charged in a fireproof bunker. Unfortunately, that's not usually the case for consumer products.

Small teams shouldn't split like this IMHO. It's better/smarter/faster IMHO to do "all hands on deck" to get things done.

For prioritization, use a triage queue because it aims the whole team at the most valuable work. This needs to be the mission-critical MVP & PMF work, rather than what the article describes as "event driven" customer requests i.e. interruptions.
