> tests, tests and more tests

Same in the USA. The old student question "will this be on the test?" is now also asked by teachers and administrators. If the answer is "no" they skip it.
my physics A level teacher did something really interesting with us.

we spent a whole class looking at an old O Level question from an exam.

all of us, including the boffins in the class, were completely stumped by it.

he explained it to us at the end, but it did solidify an appreciation in me that, at least 20ish years ago, we definitely had it easier than folks before us.
This is really cool! I cut my web development teeth on LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) and MVC was my favorite pattern to implement. I appreciate how it breaks out each concern into its own folder or files and gives the developer control over the details like session management. For small projects I still find it fun and comfortable to write web apps this way.
I don't think these fabric awnings have great performance in:
Maintenance
Fire
Wind and weather resistance of fabric
Appearance
Weather protection for building siding

Conversely, buildings nowadays are covered in fixed awnings that are fully integrated with the building envelope, they work great and are engineered to last the life of the buildings.

Am I missing anything?
Open admission is an interesting way to do things. I spent a bit of time in Belgium where the main universities will accept anyone who has a high-school level education. The first year dropout rate can be 70% in some courses. This system seemed to be very well loved by Belgians.

https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/eag_highlights-2010-...

Notably the US has the lowest dropout rate, so obviously they are pre-filtering students hard. That necessarily means that there are lots of people who /could/ have succeeded but were excluded at the admissions stage. The degree to which that's the right choice probably depends on whether you think doing a year of university and then leaving is a huge waste, a horrible failure, or a worthwhile experiment.

(The unique economics of US universities obviously interact with this calculus in pretty major ways.)
The CPU is only about twice as good as the NPU, though (four times as good on one test). The NPU is being advertised as capable of 45 trillion operations per second, and he's getting 1.3 percent of that.

So, OK, yeah, I concede that the NPU may have even worse access to memory than the CPU, but the bottom line is that neither one of them has anything close to what it needs to to actually delivering anything like the marketing headline performance number on any realistic workload.

I bet a lot of people have bought those things after seeing "45 TOPS", thinking that they'd be able to usefully run transformers the size of main memory, and that's not happening on CPU or NPU.
In that case you have more than one implementation, or at least a reasonable expectation that it will be used. I don't have a problem with that.

My comment was regarding interfaces used internally within the code, with no expectation of any external use. I wrote from a modern Java perspective, with mockable classes. Apparently interfaces are used by .Net to create mocks in unit tests, which could be a reason to use that approach if that is considered "best practice"

Where did you see that "anyone can read your chats" in this article? Indeed near the beginning of the article in the fourth bullet point the author states "we were unable to develop an attack to completely defeat WeChat’s encryption" right there. The only parties who are interested in expending more effort to break this kind of encryption are just governments, who can simply force Tencent to give up plaintext records.

No, you can have latency that is independent of compute performance. The CPU/GPU may have other tasks and the work has to wait for the existing threads to finish, or for them to clock up, or have slower memory paths, etc.

If you and I have the same calculator but I'm working on a set of problems and you're not, and we're both asked to do some math, it may take me longer to return it, even though the instantaneous performance of the math is the same.

The article:
"But all that changed in 1994, after Alexander Lukashenko, a former Soviet collective farm official, came to power. The authoritarian leader made Russian an official language, alongside Belarusian, and did away with the nationalist symbols."

The truth: Lukashenko won 81% of votes in the second round of elections with voter turnout being over 70%. People were unhappy with previous reforms, including massive Belarusization.[0] The decisions to make Russian the second official language and to change the state symbols were made through referendum on which 3/4 of votes were 'yes'.

I'm pretty sure that if I had taken auto shop or welding in high school (it was still offered, but I was "college-bound" and steered away from anything in that wing of the building) or in a "gap year" I would have ended up doing something in that field. I love making stuff and repairing stuff. I also was interested in computers and programming them, I think there's a lot of overlap there in terms of motivations.
>Yes, they don't provide consistent output on their own, but storage exists

I think this varies depending on where you live. In California, Cal-iso has a really cool dashboard that seems to show that they have enough battery storage to hold about 90 minutes of daytime solar generation.

Definitely not something that can handle a fully cloudy day yet (presumably it's cheaper to keep some natty gas plants ready to spin up or import than to store more excess solar?)
It would be interesting to have benchmarks that take this into account (maybe they already do or I’m misunderstanding how those benchmarks work). I.e. when comparing quality between two different models of vastly different performance, you could be doing best-of-n in the faster model.

> Lisp needs braces

You're a troll, but I'll feed you. I adapted Peter Norvig's excellent lispy2.py [0] to read json. I call it JLisp [1].

Lispy2 is a scheme implementation, complete with macros that executes on top of python. I made it read json, really just replacing () with []. and defining symbols as {'symbol': 'symbol_name'}. I built it because it's easier to get a webapp to emit JSON then paren lisp. I also knew that building an interpreter on top of lisp meant that I wouldn't back myself into a corner. There is incredible power in the lisp, especially the ability to transform code.

I think there is at least also the question of how often student handbooks need to be provided/reviewed. "The fall of last year" is quite a bit ago, I would have expected that the rules are reviewed every year. Especially with new technological advances, I can understand some confusion / misremembering of the rules, and I think surprising rules should probably be re-addressed at least yearly.

First that's not true and even if that would be only true in the US. Since the US is not THE "law" you cant say that.

Also:

They still remind you automatically. I just got one.
Non-browser environments are a little behind on the Wasm standard, but not by much. E.g. wasmtime has now landed support for Wasm GC. AFAIK they implement all phase 4 proposals. Wizard implements all the Phase 4 proposals as well. The Wasm 3.0 spec will be out soon, which will be a big milestone to motivate Wasm engines outside the Web to catch up.
Not just FOAK, they also had to rebuild the industry. And of course there was politicking of the industrial players.

And they had some major f-ups. For example, they used a new licensing process, which is all-up-front. This is great, because it means you can get a single design approved and then just built that design over and over, instead of all these one-offs that then are all FOAK.

Except.

Their design wasn't actually done (correctly) when it was approved. So what got approved was safe (that's what the NRC checks). But it wasn't actually buildable, which is not the NRC's problem. So they had to go back to the NRC again and again to make changes, but within a process that wasn't meant to work that way. So sometimes it was cheaper just to tear down what they had built.

COVID also didn't help.

But now the Vogtles are built, and as you said the second AP-1000 was already 30% cheaper than the first. The next ones should be significantly better, not only for the usual FOAK stuff, but they have now built two of these, so they have plans that are actually buildable.

Poland selected it, so did Ukraine.
Do you believe that human artists should pay license fees for all the art that they have ever seen, studied or drawn inspiration from? Whether graphic artists, writers or what have you.

Nope :) The underdog project is selected from projects with fewer than a certain number of upvotes. The system filters them and randomly picks one each day.
It is under a system where ownership transfers are treated as taxable events. The recipient needs to pay the taxes, but cannot afford to without liquidating the inherited asset.

I think you just need to propose a set of related rules changes. Replace the inheritance basis step-up with a similarly scoped rule that says this inheritance does not count as a taxable ownership transfer, so taxes are not due at that point.

You may also need new rules for estimating the basis when records are lost across multiple inheritance events?

The current system is a bit like a tax foregiveness jubilee, but dribbled out to individual families rather than synchronized across the whole economy. It resets things so that regular people can function in this system, without requiring all the family accounting and records keeping of some aristocratic dynasty.
Suburbs often have to stick to state building codes. Even when they don't have to, most just follow the example of what everyone else done and so they put in zoning that forces that same layout. This needs to be fixed first.

Developers (and the bankers that fund them) do what they know works. They are not the ones seeing issues for the most part - they get their money. Most will not change. However when I look I see a small number of neighborhoods that are different scattered around - mixed use does happen in a few places (though badly - location location location applies to mixed use and most of them are putting the stores in location that are inconvenient for anyone who doesn't live there and so not enough people will use them to support the stores). Which is to say if it is allowed you will not see overnight changes, but a few developers will try something new and eventually some will find the formula for success and then other developers who are watching will copy that. We are looking at 20 years from making useful changes before we can use useful results - but it is still a change worth doing.

Typically, when this happens and it's a local law like this it's because something really bad happened in the past.

I know, for example, the town of Cripple Creek, CO requires all their buildings to be made out of bricks. Pretty annoying. But it's because the entire town burned down twice in the 19th century.

So, maybe, someone in the past killed a bunch of people with bad electrical work.

I think one of the interesting aspects of WebAssembly compared to JavaScript is that it can be efficiently AOT-compiled. I've been interested in investigating AOT compilation for a browser (perhaps there is a distant/alternative future where web browsing does not require a JIT), but maybe Wasm AOT compilers aren't really there yet.
Yes the latency is not nearly as bad as you might think, it's comparable to a VPN in my experience, though the quality will depend on your location and the available connections.

Sophisticated cheats in games like CSGO (and other competitive shooters) are usually very subtle, such as displaying enemies on the mini-map when they shouldn't be visible which provides a major advantage without requiring superhuman input, and the added latency is often negligible—especially when the info can be relayed to teammates and now you essentially have the entire team cheating with only 1 player suffering from a bit of increased latency.

And I wouldn't say this is an edge case either as in my experience the majority of cheaters I encountered are individuals that play on an alt account and offer a service to guarantee wins in ranked games.
The Chinese government has direct access to the WeChat backend so it's unlikely that these weaknesses were government mandated. Probably just the result of overworked 996 developers:

It was both extremes when I did it 15 years ago. Those who needed it just to catch up on what they were supposed to have learned in junior cycle and those who wanted a bunch of extra curriculars for whatever reason. Note that admission to college/university in Ireland is not a motivator for extra curriculars - for school leavers the only things that matter are your overall grades, and for some courses, grades in specific subjects. (For foreign students, over 25s, those with special needs etc. there's a 10% or so allocation for an alternative process which is more subjective application based. But the 90% go through the purely grades based CAO)

Think it varies a lot school to school and sometimes even year to year.
> It's unbelievable to me how many people think it'd be all peace and harmony if the US disappeared.

You've misread the situation. I don't think it would be global peace and harmony if we stopped playing world police. I simply do not care. It's not our responsibility to take care of other countries while we have serious problems at home that are going ignored.

I spent a lot of time with a business partner and an expert looking at the design space for accelerators and it was made very clear to me that the memory interface puts a hard limit on what you can do and that it is difficult to make the most of. Particularly if a half-baked product is being rushed out because of FOMO you’d practically expect them to ship something that gives a few percent of the performance because the memory interface doesn’t really work, it happens to the best of them:

We've seen the US throw a massive hissy fit in the Cuban Missile crisis because of Soviet gear in Cuba and that was much more benign than a full military integration.

Except there was no "full military integration" in the works, or even any "gear" deployed in Ukraine before Putin started throwing his massy hissy fit in 2014.

Because the major point of that infrastructure is to kill lots of Russians?

The point is to gently remind the current regime of the borders of NATO states, and of this thing known as Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
You’re assuming every death on the 7th was by Hamas or other Gaza factions, which is false.

Reminds me of a reddit thread I saw years ago where someone mentioned they got malaria or something while traveling and it was treated with IIRC Ciprofloxacin which also cured a bunch of other issues they were having.

The thread was full of people mentioning that random rashes or other ailments that they assumed were just normal to their bodies for years were cured when they took Ciprofloxacin for a different infection.

Could you see this having a CAD-like mode? I really see a gap there in terms of open-source projects.

I see that you have constraints on your roadmap, but that's not what I mean. I am specifically referring to the 2D mode of Vectorworks, which is, special modules aside, really just a vector editor with support for hairlines and representational line styling (so lines don't have a 'real' thickness, but you set semantical pen thickness).

The main feature here is more about the path drawing workflow, which enables you to efficiently work with exact measurements. E.g. to draw a line you'd click to start, hover on the desired angle, enter number, (optionally press tab, enter exact angle,) click. A rectangle, say, would have additional parameters to access via tab.

So thinking about it, it in fact it is kind of a restraints system, but it only applies to the current drawing process and has the absolute minimum needed key presses/actions as possible, because you need to do this a lot (Sketchup works simlar, too)

I could see myself working on something like that, but didn't see anything pointing in that direction in your open tasks, so I am wondering if that would be in scope for graphite.
