Raw milk straight from a cow is generally fine, and I'm told much more delicious (and maybe more healthy? I really don't know about the science on that one). It's when it's had a chance to sit around that the risks increase (which inevitably happens in a commercialised process from the cow to your fridge). I've had pressure-treated unpasteurised milk and I prefer the taste of that over pasteurised.

To be fair, I think most of the TSA agents are not, many are just doing their job and trying to bring some dignity to a tense situation. I travel a lot and have met some very kind TSA agents.

But as an organization, they clearly have a culture that allows or even encourages people to openly abuse and harass travelers, and punish people for exercising their rights. When I was being sexually harassed by a TSA agent, the other agents standing nearby allowed it to happen and said nothing.

> Asking why we don't have a high speed cross country railroad

I asked where the high speed rail is, because parent claimed China is building out infrastructure "we built a 100 years ago" - which is patently untrue. I even quoted parent, so you can't have missed that.

> damningly, your closing thought being whether other people think "the west will prevail"

Bravo! That's a tabloid-worthy recontextualization hit-job - you cut off the part I considered so important I originally added emphasis to it, and added your commentary to give my surviving words an unflattering meaning of your choosing that was never there. I said "...an almost religious belief that the west will prevail because it's the west"

A good day to you.

Nowhere on the linked page at least does it say that it was due to cost. It would seem more likely to me that it was a question of nobody wanting to bother standing up for the videos. If nobody wants to take the fight, the default judgement becomes to take it down.

Building a ramp solves a problem. Pointing at a ramp 5 blocks away 7 years later and asking "doesn't this solve this issue" doesn't.

> IQ is Gaussian. The Big Five Personality Trait known as Conscientiousness is likewise Gaussian. For what it’s worth, human height is also Gaussian...

Height cannot be negative, thus, it is not Gaussian. IQ cannot be negative too. Great many things that most people think are Gaussians, are not.

One of such distributions that describe one-sided values, log-normal distribution (logarithms of values are distributed normally) has interesting property that for some d values x=mean+d are more probable than values x=mean-d (heavy tail). Also, sum of log-normal-distributed values does not converge to Gaussian distribution.

Probably because except in specific niche industries, every Linux box you ever experience is extremely likely to have Bash and Python installed.

Also, because Powershell is hideously verbose and obnoxious, and JS and its ilk belong on a frontend, not running servers.
So, here's the thing: Officially, C++ is committed to "What you don’t use, you don’t pay for (zero-overhead rule)”. This is item 2.4 in the reaffirmed design goals:

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2024/p34...

but the current ABI _forces_ some abstractions to have unnecessary cost. For example:

"Why can a T* be passed in register, but a unique_ptr<T> cannot?"
https://stackoverflow.com/q/58339165/1593077

another example is improvements in the implementation of parts of the standard library.

And that is not the only thing that prevents zero-cost abstraction. C++ does not support pointer restrction, see:

https://stackoverflow.com/tags/restrict-qualifier/info

in practice, compilers support it for some contexts.

(Anoter, minor issue is the discrepancy of "No viral annotation" and "no heavy annotation" with the need to mark things noexcept to avoid exceptio handling overhead.)

Tangential question: Is there any LLM which is capable of preserving the context through many sessions, so it doesn't have to upload all my context every time?
Albuquerque had a contract with BYD for buses. The first one arrived late and had tons of problems - the range was 1/3 less than contracted, there were broken welds, leaking axles, malfunctioning doors and wheelchair lifts, and brake problems. The second bus wasn't much better. They eventually canceled the contract and bought diesel buses from New Flyer, which was a step backwards, as most (if not all) of our other buses run on natural gas.

The most frustrating part was that these were for a new dedicated bus lane which required the passenger door on the opposite side of the bus, so the city couldn't just use buses they already had in the meanwhile. Instead the lane went unused for nearly two years after it was built, in which we lost a lane of car traffic but were still having to share the remaining lanes with buses.

If you're interested, here's the overview of planned compiler work for .NET 10: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/108988

Autovectorization is usually very fragile and in areas where you care about it hand-written implementation always provides much better results that will not randomly break on minor changes to compiler version or the code, that must be carefully guarded against.

It would be still nice to have it eventually, and I was told that JIT team actively discusses this but there are just many more lower hanging fruits that will light up in disproportionately more instances of user code.

If it's any consolation, Clang/LLVM is not a silver bullet either and you will find situations where .NET's compiler output is competitive or even better: https://godbolt.org/z/3aKnePaez

> From a single core perspective, meaning from a single software thread, things are quite impressive for the chip, as it’s able to stress the memory fabric to up to 102GB/s. This is extremely impressive and outperforms any other design in the industry by multiple factors, we had already noted that the M1 chip was able to fully saturate its memory bandwidth with a single core and that the bottleneck had been on the DRAM itself. On the M1 Max, it seems that we’re hitting the limit of what a core can do – or more precisely, a limit to what the CPU cluster can do.

This is a repost of an earlier HN post from months ago...
The whole point of the filename discussion is that it's a trick to "compress" the data, such that the sum of the file size of the input files is smaller than the file size of the decompressed output file.

Neither of your ideas work with this.

In terms of just transferring the files in order, then you need to delineate the start and end of each file, which will take more space than the byte you are removing. Same with the tar file.
Is this basically open source data collectors / data integration connectors?

I think your blog post frames the problem very well!

Seeing that both someone working on PRQL and Malloy replied and to both of you it's an understood pain makes me feel a lot better about the future of these tools! When talking about that with people that are not that deep into the problem it is often hard to transport the difference between this kind of composability vs. the composability that the tools are offering today, and the implications that come with that.

At a past startup I had the fortune to be able to work on a similar system to what I am looking for: Packageable, reusable relation algebra inspired by Substrait. It had the downside though that it was quite tied to RDF and SPARQL in its implementation, and now I'm chasing something similar in the SQL world :D

> I address the problem of relevance by inserting the CSS right into the component with a link tag. If the component is not used, the CSS isn't either.

Do the selectors in those style tags not apply globally? How do I prevent contributors (including myself) from accidentally writing a selector that affects HTML in other components? I see ECSS allows plain tag selectors for example?

Isn't the design token variable file quickly going to balloon? As you mention, it looks like Tailwind provides this now as well, but you'll still want to run the build step of generating the minimal style sheet that provides only the tokens you actually use, rather than having to compile that style sheet manually.

As a related question: if you're already running Stylelint, what's the problem with a build step?

And: is the CSS on Tailwind's homepage actually unused, or used in dynamically added HTML? Is the additional download+parse size actually significant, or does it e.g. compress well and not affect performance that much? Throttling network speed at least doesn't result in a terrible loading experience for me, it seems.

Its a special military operation, right?

In all earnesty, what does it change to send troops to Ukraine? What did any of these red lines we European were afraid of help?

Should not send tanks, it could start a war.

Should not allow Ukraine to attack inside Russia, it could start a war.
He wasn't turned away. He left, honorably. No one kicked him out or suggested it. He just didn't feel welcome and saw the winds changing.

It really ought to be obvious, but many of the sorts of young men who join the military and who are attracted to it and would make good fighters are not into transgender troops, women in combat, or flamboyant homosexual men (they're not into flamboyant straight men either). Many of the type of troop we need are attracted to the military because it is -- historically at least -- a men's hierarchical organization. Not only has the military embraced social issues that turn men off, it also offers dual standards (physical standards are lower for women) and affirmative action when promoting (yes... it's still legal for military academies to use affirmative action... they're exempt!). We can either accept this reality and have enough people volunteer, or ignore it, and be where we're at today.

This is not controversial, and honestly is irrelevant to my or yours belief system.

Which is why I asked the question of the purpose of the military. It's not a jobs program. It's to hone warriors who will protect this country. Now, if the Pentagon says we need X warriors and only Y < X show up, this is a problem because the country is undefended. There are a few ways out. Either the pentagon is wrong in its estimates of how many troops are necessary for national security, or, by embracing these novel social issues, the military has eroded national safety, thus negating the very purpose of its existence.
> I think that any of these simplified distributions are likely not generalizable across companies and industries

It’s going to be multivariate statistics with dependent variables. The quality of non developers at company affects the quality of developers they can retain, and the quality of the developers you have affects the quality of developers you can recruit and improve. Almost all the people I’d want to work with again left my last employer before I did.

You can take on more and more work yourself but it causes everyone around you to disengage. At some point you have to realize it’s more fruitful, emotionally and mathematically, to make coworkers produce one more unit of forward progress a month than to do it to yourself. Because it’s 2% for the team one way and 5-10% the other.

This is your opinion. I have worked with and managed 'toxic' employees. They are very much a thing.
I think IQ is useful in aggregate (for example, a finding that exposure to local toxins reduces a cities' performance on IQ by 10 points), but not useful an an individual level (e.g. you have an IQ of 130, so we can say with certainty you will earn $30,000 more per year). It's similar with MRI scans of ADHD: they find brain differences at a large scale, but you can't use a MRI to diagnose ADHD.

> Do you suppose Yeltsin didn't have access to the uncensored information before his visit?

That was the case yes. I don't understand this insistence that he was faking anything. Why would he do that? The whole episode just made him and his delegation look stupid to the Americans, would not have been reported in the USSR itself, and he stated clearly that he was shocked by what he saw.

The way all far left regimes work whether the USSR, North Korea, Cuba or China is that due to pervasive censorship information can only flow top down, not organically as it does in societies with freedom of speech. But information is also progressively hidden and distorted as it gets passed up the chain from the underlings who discover it originally. The result is that people at the top aren't really more informed than people at the bottom. They think they are because they have access to secret reports, but they're being fed whatever they want to hear. This is why nobody trusts Chinese GDP numbers.

Yeltsin especially wouldn't have known anything. In the 1980s he wasn't the leader of the USSR, that was Gorbachev. Gorbachev did understand the weakness in abstract terms, but probably didn't realize the true extent of the differences for people on the ground. Yeltsin was a member of the nomenklatura in Moscow in charge of city construction projects, so high ranking but not high enough to be given foreign intelligence. Moreover just a year before his trip to Randalls (the supermarket) he was in a bitter fight with the party and had just been purged. The pressure was so intense he resigned from the Politburo - something nobody had ever done before - and then tried to kill himself.

But Yeltsin recovered and his criticism of the party was popular. In May 1989 he was elected to a seat on the Supreme Soviet, the fake Soviet parliament. He still didn't matter and still wouldn't have had any exemption from censorship, or access to sensitive foreign intelligence. He visited NASA in September 1989, just a few months later. At no point in his career up to that point would he have ever been trusted with sensitive information.

Leon Aron, quoting a Yeltsin associate, wrote in his 2000 biography, Yeltsin, A Revolutionary Life (St. Martin's Press): "For a long time, on the plane to Miami, he sat motionless, his head in his hands. 'What have they done to our poor people?' he said after a long silence." He added, "On his return to Moscow, Yeltsin would confess the pain he had felt after the Houston excursion: the 'pain for all of us, for our country so rich, so talented and so exhausted by incessant experiments'." He wrote that Mr. Yeltsin added, "I think we have committed a crime against our people by making their standard of living so incomparably lower than that of the Americans." An aide, Lev Sukhanov, was reported to have said that it was at that moment that "the last vestige of Bolshevism collapsed" inside his boss.[95]

Well, Tailwind doesn't really solve that for you either - you pretty much have to know CSS to be able to use it effectively, in my experience. Technically, you may not really be writing CSS, but in practice, I think all the reasons you might have for not wanting to write CSS still apply to writing Tailwind.
