It's rather obvious that it's whale oil, given that whales used to be hunted for their oil. I don't know how you could even assume that a whale skeleton would drip petroleum.

Funny anecdote: The automatic transmission used to be lubricated with whale oil because it (whale oil) could handle higher temperatures than petroleum based lubricants. It was banning whaling in the 20th century that lead to developing petroleum-based high-heat lubricants.

I found out about her first from the Citation Needed comedy show, but then later from the Futility Closet podcast, which pointed out that most of her clients actually needed the service, while some (private houses) were splurging on an extravagance. And also that new technology never immediately replaces old. In the early days, she was more reliable than the telegraph, which tended to break down.

She had clients till the end of her life, though no one took over the business when she died.
Maybe I am just a natural skeptic, but whenever I see a headline that says 'method x reduces y by z%'; but when you read the text it instead says that optimizing some step 'could potentially reduce y by up to z%'; I am suspicious.

Why not publish some actual benchmarks that prove your claim in even a few special cases?

The research on time-restricted eating is astonishing to me, not just because it works so well but because it works with such a lax eating window. Restricting eating to an 8-10hr period is easily within grasp of most people and most lifestyles - eat a late breakfast and an early dinner and you're done. Probably the best bang for your buck in terms of diet/lifestyle interventions.

Not only are cheap microcontrollers often an easier choice for things the NE555 might be used for, they often draw far less power as well. I personally prefer to use an even smaller and cheaper micro like the ATTiny13A. It's also worth noting that your traditional 555 timers don't like to run below 5V, for that you'll need something like an LMC555. If you're building up a parts inventory, it often makes sense to have a bunch of very cheap micros rather than special purpose parts.

I hadn't heard this idiom before so I looked it up and I couldn't find anything relevant. What does this phrase mean in this context?
The link to the paper is at the bottom of this article. Or more correctly they put the text of a link address at the bottom of the article (it's not actually a link); the DOI address itself resolves to the Cell article.
Thanks. I'm mostly interested in the OO features. I assumed that LOOPS was essentially an OO extension of Interlisp (and thus a precursor of CLOS) due to the title. Does it really do "message sending", or is it rather like Smalltalk, which does "normal" method dispatch and call, but where the term "message sending" is use for this?
Given how garbage the software quality is on hardware devices, why would I ever want them to be connected to the internet? Ad/privacy or security concerns aside, even companies who should know better have shown they cannot be trusted and will continue to load up irrelevant patches onto a device until it eventually crawls under the increased computational demands. Slowing a previously responsive system.
The ISS may not, but Starliner does have a fixed life. It is meant to fly on the Atlas V, which is end-of-life. Once those are gone Starliner would need to be integrated and recertified to fly on a new rocket, probably Vulcan, but it's doubtful Boeing would want to spend the money to do this.

In response to your other point, I am very skeptical of microgravity experiments becoming a big industry. I think NASA (as an organization, I'm not talking about individuals in NASA) is mostly interested in continuing human space flight simply because it keeps the public interested in space, which makes NASA's funding more secure.
Not necessarily a bad thing: this might give the AI charlatans enough time to actually make something useful.
I believe California has some laws that specifically apply to semiautomatic firearms, which an AR15 lower is not. The lower is incapable of semiautomatic fire (as in the gas blowback/piston system is in the upper).

They sell single-shot .50 BMG uppers, non-semiautomatic AR15 uppers do exist.

I believe the majority of stuff California regulates attaches to the upper anyways, which isn’t a firearm under federal law (unsure if Cali is weird about that). Bump stocks and responsive triggers are the only things I can think of California might regulate that go on the lower, and last I heard the ATF was tracking those down as an NFA violation.

Since QUIC was designed for Fast Internet as used by the megacorporations like Google and Microsoft how it performs at these scales does matter even if it doesn't for a human person's end.

Without it's designed for use case all it does is slightly help mobile platforms that don't want to hold open a TCP connection (for energy use reasons) and bring in fragile "CA TLS"-only in an environment where cert lifetimes are trending down to single months (Apple etc latest proposal).
I feel like "testing trophy" has been in vogue for a while now, and definitely feels more right as someone who's made a career of unfucking test suites, but there's almost no area of software engineering as involved in navel-gazing as testing.

Yes, a large amount for - in the grand scheme of things - a short period of time (i.e., a quantity of energy usage in an intense spike that will be dwarfed by energy usage over time) can accurately be described as “a bit”.

Of course, the impact is that AI will continue to become cheaper to use, and induced demand will continue the feedback loop driving the market as a result.
Another interesting datapoint:

Every time I try out something other than React (Vue, Svelte, etc), I have to learn some new syntax, understand the runtime magic, and add a syntax/LSP to my editor. But React is just JS/TS, which is straightforward.

Being disappointed by a library/framework because your LLM of choice can't produce decent code doesn't really tell me very much about the library, other than it's usage is varied.
Looking at Figure 5, Chrome tops out at ~500 Mbps due to CPU usage. I don't think many people care about these speeds? Perhaps not using all available bandwidth for a few speedy clients is an okay compromise for most websites? This inadvertent throttling might improve others' experiences.

But then again, being CPU-throttled isn't great for battery life, so perhaps there's a better way.

I’ll use npm as an example. When someone not at npm runs npm publish, their npm client sends a request for their package to be published, which to me shows that the person isn’t the publisher because they aren’t requesting for themselves to publish the package. But I see how it might be confusing.

When I picture stuff and I'm problem solving or whatever, I've tried to figure out if the mental images are a tool or just a side effect.

I can feel that my thought or idea happens almost instantly, and that internal monologue or internal imagery seems to follow the thought or idea and seems like it's more of just a representation of the thought that's really embedded somewhere else in the brain.

It seems like words+images might just be a way to keep thoughts in working memory, kind of like a handle or reference or place holder.

Good that it worked relatively easy for you, but it is more of an exception than norm.

In my industry, there is a clear want for a better product but that isn't sufficient for them to switch due to natural resistance to change. Hence significant marketing is needed through trusted channels to remove that fear-of-unknown from their minds.
Yes, if we could pin it to a linear scale of Degrees Autistic (Farenheit), that could be estimated with reasonable precision for all day-to-day relevant values by feeling the nearby air on your skin, nobody would complain about "Austism" being too broad.

I don't know how well known MC5 are around the world. When I was seventeen they were the biggest band in Michigan. Bigger than Bob Segar or Ted Nugent. What I didn't realize then what was different about their music, they were the inventors of punk.

Their performances were electric, they had the first hype man in the music world. A bunch of well known rock bands were scheduled to play right on the street during the chaotic 1968 Chicago Democratic convention. As cops clubbed protesters and tear gas was in the wind none of them would take the stage, all except the MC5 who went out and played for hours.

They have a new album coming out, first in over 50 years and they're finally getting admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Sadly the last two members died this spring so no one from the band will be around to witness it.

QUIC reuses parts of the TLS specification (e.g. handshake, transport state, etc).

So it can’t function without it.

Well latency/bandwidth tradeoffs make sense. After bufferbloat mitigations my throughout halved on my router. But for gaming while everyone is streaming, it makes sense to settle with half a gigabit.
And yet, people focus endlessly on unit tests, pyramid in hand, saying things like: they're the best kind of test, or at least better than integration tests. It needs some maturity to articulate the nuances. And while I've tried, I think SMURF may be a good aid in that. While I've moved away from the religious focus on unit tests, long ago, I appreciate learning about SMURF today.
Doesn't the philosophy behind Svelte justify a broader scope than just Web apps?

Shouldn't this be a more general programming language, not tied to the web?
I had Claude 3 Haiku summarize this in lay terms since it's quite a complex topic.

Here is a more simplified summary of the key points:

This study looked at whether a type of fasting called time-restricted eating (TRE) could help improve health in people with metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol that increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

The researchers had two groups of people with metabolic syndrome:

1. One group received standard nutritional counseling.
2. The other group received nutritional counseling plus a personalized TRE program. This meant they could only eat during an 8-10 hour window each day.

After 3 months, the TRE group showed a small but meaningful improvement in their HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control) compared to the standard counseling group.

The study was relatively short and relied on people reporting their own diet, so the results may have been affected by other factors. But the researchers concluded that the TRE program could be a helpful lifestyle intervention to modestly improve blood sugar regulation in people with metabolic syndrome.
This is interesting, but I see a few issues with it:

- Maintainability is difficult to quantify, and often subjective. It's also easy to fall into a trap of overoptimizing or DRYing test code in the pursuit of improving maintainability, and actually end up doing the opposite. Striking a balance is important in this case, which takes many years of experience to get a feel for.

- I interpret the chart to mean that unit tests have high maintainability, i.e. it's a good thing, when that is often not the case. If anything, unit tests are the most brittle and susceptible to low-level changes. This is good since they're your first safety net, but it also means that you spend a lot of time changing them. Considering you should have many unit tests, a lot of maintenance work is spent on them.

I see the reverse for E2E tests as well. They're easier to maintain, since typically the high-level interfaces don't change as often, and you have fewer of them.

But most importantly, I don't see how these definitions help me write better tests, or choose what to focus on. We all know that using fewer resources is better, but that will depend on what you're testing. Nobody likes flaky tests, but telling me that unit tests are more reliable than integration tests won't help me write better code.

What I would like to see instead are concrete suggestions on how to improve each of these categories, regardless of the test type. For example, not relying on time or sleeping in tests is always good to minimize flakiness. Similarly for relying on system resources like the disk or network; that should be done almost exclusively by E2E and integration tests, and avoided (mocked) in unit tests. There should also be more discussion about what it takes to make code testable to begin with. TDD helps with this, but you don't need to practice it to the letter if you keep some design principles in mind while you're writing code that will make it easier to test later.

I've seen many attempts at displacing the traditional test pyramid over the years, but so far it's been the most effective guiding tool in all projects I've worked on. The struggle that most projects experience with tests stems primarily from not following its basic principles.
You're not "doing SMURF". It's not an approach or a system. It's just a specific vocabulary to talk about testing approaches better. They almost spell it out: "The SMURF mnemonic is an easy way to remember the tradeoffs to consider when balancing your test suite".

It's up to your team (and really always has been) to decide what works best for that project. You get to talk about tradeoffs and what's worth doing.

Time-restricted eating is not intermittent fasting. Limiting eating to an 8-10 hour window is totally doable with several small meals, no need to gorge on a single meal.
Absolutely still a responsibility of the management. Management can find other, different tools to deal with problems if they're feeling like they're being hampered by the union. Management is not entitled to anyone's labor and if said labor collectively tells management "our way or the highway", well, c'est la vie.

Unions provide a form of power symmetry between the general workforce and the upper management of the company, and while it's not always balanced with the power of the company itself, the alternative is even more asymmetric. And ultimately, if the union is behaving in such a way that none of their members can find employment, the problem will tend to correct itself.
I have a similar monitor from LG. I pair it with a MacBook, and there are times when the MacBook isn’t connected, but I still want to watch Netflix. Or even when the MacBook is connected, if I’m not at my desk it’s easier to control with the remote. It actually sees more use as a standalone streaming device than as a monitor.

I think smart monitors are convenient multi-purpose displays and make a lot of sense for home use. Not so much for office use like in the source tweet.
The first syllable of Asperger sounds like “ass”, and the mom was making a pun based on that fact (pointing out that her son’s Asperger’s made him an ass).
The problem was that a diagnosis of Asperger's was unreliable and therefore useless. We definitely need to identify individuals within the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder that can reliably be identified and benefit from specific interventions. However, Asperger's did not provide that.
This sounds really really wrong. I've achieved 900mbps speeds on quic+http3 and just quic... Seems like a bad TLS implementation? Early implementation that's not efficient? The CPU usage seemed pretty avg at around 5% on gen 2 epyc cores.
It has easier profile management and it is more customizable. Developers can make extensions and add their own features into the launcher, and users can install these extensions quickly.

Why should someone use Svelte 5 over Vue 3?

Performance might be the only reason IMO, but once Vue Vapor is release that will most likely not be an advantage.

The Vue3 and Svelte 5 API are almost the exact same, but Vue can be used in TS/JS and Svelte 5 can't.

I do think SvelteKit is better than Nuxt by a lot. Maybe that's a big advantage.

The problem is that vendors of hardware (read: nVidia) do not want the OS to have full control over the hardware. So instead they write a driver that the OS can talk to, and everything else is kept behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, companies like Apple who integrate everything can have full control, and are likely to come up with the better OSes in the future, but they are even more closed and the only talks we'll see about them are keynote speeches by the CEO.
