It’s been discussed quite a bit in the past. I love Project Euler, but haven’t been active for a few years. Even then I felt like the social aspect of it wasn’t designed for newcomers; a lot of activity on new problems happens as soon as it becomes available and then it mostly freezes. The problems get pretty hard on average once you’re past the first hundred, one reason I personally found it hard to keep going.

Yeah that's not gonna be realtime. It's really odd that we currently have two options, ViTS/Piper that runs at a ludicrous speed on a CPU and is kinda ok, and these slightly more natural versions a la StyleTTS2 that take 2 minutes to generate a sentence with CUDA acceleration.

Rim breaks are fine for most people. your wheel has to be very very visually out of true to cause problems and thats only a $20 fix at the local bike shop. A little cathunk in the hands during braking never hurt anyone. Source: rode $40 bikes through college. Most of the comfort stuff is not applicable unless you are spending hours and hours in the saddle. You aren’t going to notice the crank arms are too short or your reach is too long commuting 30 mins to work.
There’s a whole section explaining how they mitigated that problem and tested it. They say «The Raspberry Pi kernel sidesteps this problem by limiting the maximum number of posted writes in CQ mode to one.»
> I do understand that for you Emacs is a Lisp development environment first

It's not "for me", it is what it is. Emacs first and foremost is a Lisp machine, with a text-editor built into it, not the other way around, it's not a text-editor that uses Lisp as its configuration language.

"user experience of Emacs" is to be able to send any expression and sub-expression without any preceding ceremony directly to the REPL. Everything what Emacs does stems from that. No, Python doesn't have the same REPL. Every single stage of it in Python is different. Lisp's Read, Eval, Print, Loop - they all have slightest differences. Those differences are possible because of Lisp's homoiconic nature. Because of that you get Lisp macros, because of that you get advising functions, because of that you can do source blocks in Org-mode that can interact with and modify their own execution environment. Lisp's homoiconicity allows code to be treated as data and vice versa, enabling powerful metaprogramming capabilities. This means you can:

1. Manipulate code at runtime

2. Create domain-specific languages easily

3. Extend the language itself

In Org-mode, this translates to source blocks that can:

1. Dynamically generate and execute code

2. Modify their own content or other blocks' content

3. Interact with the Emacs environment seamlessly

This level of flexibility and power isn't achievable in Python's REPL due to its more rigid separation between code and data. While Python is highly versatile, it lacks the deep introspection and self-modifying capabilities that Lisp's homoiconic nature provides, making Lisp uniquely suited for certain advanced metaprogramming tasks and interactive development paradigms.

So the bottom line is: you can imagine really hard, but it would remain just an imagination, if you want to build something like Emacs - a REPL that has a built-in text editor, you need a Lisp, because non-homoiconic languages DO NOT HAVE exactly same REPLs. Now, do you want me to get seriously pedantic and explain how every step in ReadEvalPrintLoop differs in Lisp and Python?
100% stay away from it.

I think a better question is: "How can you ensure any VS Code extension is safe to use?"

Understanding exactly what an extension does and getting clarity around how it operates is something that I'd like to better understand as well.

It makes me think that moving to other editors like Neovim might be a safer way to go, if Microsoft has created an environment where malicious plug-ins can operate.

Servo and Tauri still let the Application use JavaScript, which is just very wasteful. I was thinking about making it possible to write dynamic websites completely without JavaScript, by building up WASM support and making that even faster. But that's a not the goal for now. Indeed, we don't even have a JS API for websites yet...
Is this really the case? Maybe I'm missing something, but yhe WordPress codebase is still available, what is not is the one repository for convenient one shot downloads. You could create an equivalent repo off of one of the existing mirrors or put it together yourself off of the codebase.

So maybe someone will fork the repository? But hosting is expensive, especially if you're going to get hit by something at the scale of WPEngine.
That's great to hear. UL certification is a starting point. How is that going?

What does EU-certified mean with regards to battery safety?

I think the sticking point with UL is that you need to know the specific application in order to assess the downstream risks. Are you able to do the UL certification for multiple bikes, or just a specific model?

Are you able to get UL certification for multiple different cell brands, or do you need to do a different certification for each type of cells used in the pack?

I'm assuming mixed salvaged cells are off the table for UL certification?

The trouble is who do you ask? Because naturally people with eating disorders won't think, or say, they have an ED. They'll say they're living a healthier lifestyle and they're getting all the food they need.

I see this all the time with body builders. They're convinced they're healthy, but in reality, they absolutely despise food. It's a chore to them. And to top it off they have extreme body dysmorphia, often pushing them to drug use that kills them.
Um, fission reactors are very much last century.
Downthread I go on (much) longer, but honestly I see the maths as simple

1. We want to generate electricity with minimal carbon output.
2. Nuclear is part of this equation (along with solar, wind and tidal. Maybe one day fusion)
3. Nuclear has large capital upfront, a maintenance cost that requires us to always be on the A game, and the cost of catastrophic failure is fucking huge.
4. The other options have downsides of course, but their ongoing maintenance is basically lower because the catastrophe cost is much much much lower.
5. It’s really hard to quantify things like “major urban area made uninhabitable”, because it has almost never happened. But it can and it will if we keep chucking risk around like this.

6. The way to stop this, no the way to align investment, is to correct price externalities - positive and negative.

If we want to re- start places like Indian Point (a relative well
Managed successful nuclear plant whose history reads like a series of disasters) then we ask what if Indian point failed like Fukushima.

That’s Westchester, and most of Manhattan that suddenly looks like a disaster movie. No Fukushima was not actually as deadly as feared (1 person kinda), but the evacuation and knock on effects. Try that on the Hudson and see what the cost of evacuating New York is - I mean, shipping, finance everything.

Honestly I struggle to see what’s crazy anymore.

How about every bond raised to fund a nuclear plant has a 100 year lien attached that no payments can be made till a century of safe operation and closure has occurred.

If the financials make sense after that I will take another look.
Well, that is a stupid thing to say. You probably just haven't yet realized why.

Gettier cases tell us something interesting about truth and knowledge. This is that a factual claim should depict the event that was the effective cause of the claim being made. Depiction is a picturing relationship: a correspondence between the words and a possible event (eg a cow in a field). Knowledge is when the depicted event was the effective cause of the belief. Since the paper mache cow was the cause of the belief, not a real cow, our intuitions tell us this is not normal knowledge. Therefore, true statements must have both a causal and depictional relationship with something in the world. Put another way, true statements implicitly describe a part of their own causal history.
Do you keep multiple branches of your programs, including one where you do not add new features but only bugfixes and such security updates?

I'm wondering how the law is going to be applied in the event of an accident. In my state, if you hit a minor riding a bike then you're automatically at-fault and the burden of proof is on you to prove that the accident was unavoidable.

Will that same law apply when the kid is operating a motorized vehicle? Especially if they're operating that vehicle illegally?

TBF, it hasn't been a problem so hey, maybe these kids have a lot more sense than we give them credit for? Maybe I should just be grateful that those girls were outside playing instead of being in a screen and were feeling a little "dangerous" and rode 3 up on an e-bike?
Thanks, yeah, I def won't install it.

Looks like there are some calls to `fs` and `path`, so it's definitely reading the file system, which could be legitimate, but yeah hard to say.

Kinda wild that simply installing an extension can give the author full access and there isn't really a way to verify extension code.

I mean even if they had linked a repo that actually contained code, how can I know that the code from the repo is actually the same that gets downloaded when the extension is installed?
Afaik they're closer to black-body radiators than some narrow band emitter like LEDs, so they have to operate significantly above room temperature.

With Debian, one can apt-pin different releases on as well. So you can run testing for example but have oldstable, stable, unstable and experimental all pinned on.

That maximizes your chance of being able to satisfy a particular dependency like libflac.8.so. Sometimes that might not actually be practical to pull in or might involve massively changing a lot of your installed software to satisfy the dependencies, but often it can be a quick easy way to drop in more libraries.

Sometimes libraries don't have a version number on them, so it'll keep being libflac even across major versions. Thats prohibitive because ideally you want to install old version 8 alongside newer version 12. But generally Debian is pretty good about allowing multiple major versions of packages. Here for example is libflac12, on stable and unstable both. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libflac12

I think the reality of most people using bikes in rather low stakes situations also changes things heavily. That is, many are riding bikes that I would not trust down a hill going 30+mph. But, notably, most people are not going anywhere close to 30mph on a bicycle.

To that end, you are correct that most people are just needing to clean their bike. Replace the occasional consumable part of it, maybe. Keep it clean, though, and you are unlikely to need to replace any parts anytime soon.

Edit: And, again, limit this to ebikes and things change pretty rapidly. It is trivial to get an ebike to 25mph.

Realistically you only need the tools for your bike. Hardly matters that there are a dozen bb types, you pick the adapter you need and move on. And by and large most people are going to be something common like 22 spline not those weird campy bb from 50 years ago.
I remember when I was a kid, the doctor thought that my blood pressure was too high. Of course, I was just anxious because I knew they were going to give me a shot. What kid wouldn't be?? He took it again after I got the shot and it went back down to normal.
Some dentist practices (maybe they are chains) do seem very shady when it comes to overtreatment. I remember on my first visit to an office that I was recommended customized trays that I could wear overnight to have my teeth/gums soaked in hydrogen peroxide gel. This recommendation felt like a sales pitch and when I researched the proposed treatment code later I started to find some dentists online claiming that they wouldn’t recommend those because they are not clinically proven to work against gum disease.

I understand that radiation effects are cumulative but is this overexposure source worth fighting against as a patient?

> What's wrong with the Android one - is it not permissively licensed?

It is not, AOSP based distributions have to kang it from vendor builds. Qualcomm's is mostly standardized but Samsung wrote their own stack and voLTE/voNR won't work on any custom roms.

> That's why the PinePhone or Librem 5 still can't even match the usability (at basic things like phone or camera or battery life) of a 2010-era Android phone, despite having similar hardware.

They most certainly do NOT have similar hardware. You're wrong on thinking it's a software problem when the hardware being interfaced with is notoriously proprietary. The PinePhone and Librem phones are using self-contained quectel modems connected via different interfaces. They are nothing like the integrated soc's of nearly every other device on the market. This dramatically impacts battery life and stability and I don't think it will ever be a solved problem when building devices this way.

I agree to an extent, but Linux is actually very usable if you stick to common quality hardware, and a collection of carefully curated robust and simple software. I realize this is impractical for most people, but having a limited ecosystem is what essentially allows Apple to deliver the exceptional user experience they're known for.

The alternative of supporting an insane amount of hardware, and making it work with every combination of software, both legacy and cutting-edge, is much, much harder to achieve. It's a miracle of engineering that Linux works as well as it does, while also being developed in a globally distributed way with no central company driving the effort. Microsoft can also pull this off arguably better, but with a completely different development and business model, and all the resources in the world, so it's hardly comparable.

The sad part is that there is really no alternative to Linux if you want full control over your devices, while also having a decent user experience. Windows and macOS are walled gardens, and on the opposite spectrum BSDs and other niche OSs are nowhere near as usable. So the best we can do is pick a good Linux distro, something we're thankfully spoiled for choice, and customize it to our needs, which unfortunately does take a lot of time and effort. I still prefer this over the alternatives, though.
Yes, we're working on that over at https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz (alpha release imminent). Our TodoMVC example is current ~20mb with a standard release builds, but comes down to 7.2mb with some compiler flags like -Oz and LTO enabled (these numbers of from macOS).

And we plan to allow fine grained configuration of the feature set, so if you don't need certain image formats or layout algorithms or networking support, then you can disable them and save on binary size.

Just for one anecdote, three years ago my then-dentist (who was a part of a franchise practice and probably under pressure to bill) told me that I had 12 (!!) cavities across all quadrants of my mouth that needed to be filled immediately.

I went to another dentist in the area, they took some x-rays themselves, and told me that there was nothing that needed immediate work - maybe one pre-cavity that would eventually turn in to something but certainly not worth doing anything with now.

Three years later (and sticking with that new dentist) I still haven't needed to have anything done (and certainly don't have any pain in my mouth anywhere either).
