The scale/mass of the sun is just fascinating. It takes ~500,000 years for a photon released in the fusion process to escape the core. That's just how dense the core is that a photon gets bounced around that much. The fact that the outer layer (corona up to 3,500,000°F is so much hotter than the surface(photosphere around 10000°F) that is on top of the core (around 27,000,000°F) is just another one of those weird to appreciate as well.

Chernobyl happened because they didn’t have enough spare capacity in the grid to allow the more experienced day shift to do a spin down test, and instead of moving the test or ensuring the right people were on site overnight, they let the inexperienced night shift run the test. This, because management didn’t want to look bad, and they didn’t listen to the engineers.

Fukushima happened because their backup generators flooded and couldn’t provide emergency power to remove decay heat. They flooded because management didn’t listen to the engineers who spec’d a much higher (and more expensive) sea wall.

Three Mile Island can’t be blamed on management in the same way, but indirectly in that they allowed a culture of accepting defects to fester. Operators had so many inoperable or inaccurate alarms and meters that they were initially unaware of any problems, and then they didn’t trust / believe the readings they saw.

Nuclear power, when built and operated correctly, with strict procedural compliance, is incredibly safe. The U.S. Navy has over 7500 reactor-years of safe operation spanning over 75 years, with zero reactor accidents.

I am all for wind and solar where it’s feasible, but you simply cannot beat the density of nuclear fuel, nor its ability to provide 100% base load day in and day out. If you want sustainable green energy (and I do), it must involve nuclear power; fossil fuel plants cannot be replaced by anything else we currently know of.

> If you took time off during an on-call shift you would be trading it with a team member, so you would never lose that extra wage.

I think this is true in _most cases_, but is not a given. I myself have encountered scenarios where it isn’t true: switching with someone much later in the rotation, only to then end up having to switch again for instance. You could envision a nefarious teammate weaseling out of their fair share with sneaky switches like this, too, though paying for it would maybe incentivize them not to!

If that’s the case, why was it a bang instead of a slow leak?
It's not crazy. I'm no physicist, but I understand the math of the Big bang is similar to that of a White hole.

What gets a little mind bending for me is the idea that the physics inside the black hole can differ slightly from the ancestor universe. So black holes will preferentially create descendant universes that prefer to create more black holes.

This is a different multiverse theory than the quantum many worlds theory. The limitation of quantum many worlds is that the physics doesn't change. But in the ancestor black hole many worlds theory it does.

When you put these together, you can get an even larger multiverse, where anything that can happen does happen, but only if the laws of physics allow for black holes. That may mean the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is out there somewhere, so long as those laws of physics allow for black holes. Right? Again not a physicist.
Not colored, but filtered. At least for the specific "orange" image. The other images are since they're different types of sensors.

If you use Visual Studio on Windows, you have one nice option for multi-process debugging: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsdbgpla... - auto-attach the debugger to child processes as they are invoked. I've also found this good in the past for debugging some kinds of client/server setup by having a little wrapper program that runs the combination of clients and servers required on your local PC.

All the processes end up being debugging simultaneously in the same instance of the debugger, which I've found to make light work of certain types of annoying bug. You might need a mode where the timeouts are disabled though!

is this news? this sounds like every university in the US, which uses underpaid adjuncts to do most of the teaching and underpaid phd candidates and postdocs to do most of the research

not saying this is right -- adjuncts and postdocs absolutely need to be paid more commensurately with the value they provide -- but it has been the status quo for a long time; the bigger problem is that it used to be a temporary stepping stone to professorship, whereas now universities are perpetually and increasingly relying on this cheap labor to cut costs, making the path for academia an increasingly tortuous one. It's highly counter productive because who wants to go through all that instead if you can get a job in industry that values you much more? The result is that you don't get the best and brightest educating the next generation, except maybe at a few universities - Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc. - where the prestige itself is enough of a draw.

The point is that the "ownership" used to rhetorically justify the labor of such engineers is not "ownership" at all: it's missing the literal most important aspect, that is the ability to profit proportionally as a project brings in revenue. Literally everything else is included -- the intensity of work, the singular focus, the care and devotion, the expected level of initiative -- but not the part that would most benefit the engineer.

It's just rhetorical trickery.

I like where your thinking and you seem confident, but history has shown this to not always be true. However, even if it does happen, people sitting in jail does nothing to fix the loss of the victims.

The fact that one of the parties involved hasn't done an audit of their accounts because "they can't afford it" is the chef's kiss of the clown show this debacle is.
Vaguely related, I saw an extremely nice little bit of UI on a MRI machine console the other day. When planning a sequence of scans, you drag them into a listbox. But once that listbox is "full" from top to bottom, it's hard to append to the end (rather than inserting between two existing scans), because you keep having to hit that tiny 1px wide target between the bottom of the box and the last entry.

So someone at Bruker noticed this, and made a drop target UNDER the listbox that's labeled Drop Here to Append. It makes things SO much more pleasant.

> people who lean on print debugging often have incomplete knowledge of the immense power of modern debugging tools

not always; sometimes print debugging is much more time efficient due to the very slow runtime required to run compute-intensive programs in debug mode. I'll sometimes forego the debugger capabilities in order to get a quick answer.
Dark energy is the force that counteracts the combined gravity of our enormous universe. It also keeps the electrons flowing around the nucleus, but not into it.

The universe started with a single Big Bang, but is maintained by an interrelated force continually applied that keeps allowing it to resist collapse, the resulting system allowing local minima such as Earth's sweet spot of smallish sun + gentle orbit.

It's almost like it was designed to be perfect, with nicely balancing counterforces, all set in a sea of brutal extrema, and all set to mathematically clockwork precision that is discoverable by intelligent inhabitants, whose bodies, themselves, operate under those same physical laws. Almost ;-)

I've been watching that too. I would guess the top spots are not purely installs per day. Likely that would make them less dynamic. I guess Apple and Google include other metrics like velocity, ratings etc to decide top ranks.

Being 'too efficient' can also mean not having resiliency. Having some 'slop' to play with can allow for resiliency (see also bus factor).

The article draws a distinction between logging and print debugging, which it should, but in recent work that distinction has been less important to me in practice.

I mostly write Zig these days (love it) and the main thing I'm working on is an interactive program. So the natural way to test features and debug problems is to spin the demo program up and provide it with input, and see what it's doing.

The key is that Zig has a lazy compilation model, which is completely pervasive. If a branch is comptime-known to be false, it gets dropped very early, it has to parse but that's almost it. You don't need dead-code elimination if there's no dead code going in to that phase of compilation.

So I can be very generous in setting up logging, since if the debug level isn't active, that logic is just gone with no trace. When a module starts getting noisy in the logs, I add a flag at the top `const extra = false;`, and drop `if (extra)` in front of log statements which I don't need to have printing. That way I can easily flip the switch to get more detail on any module I'm investigating. And again, since that's a comptime-known dead branch, it barely impacts compiling, and doesn't impact runtime at all.

I do delete log statements where the information is trivial outside of the context of a specific thing I'm debugging, but the gist of what I'm saying is that logging and print debugging blend together in a very nice way here. This approach is a natural fit for this kind of program, I have some stubs for replacing live interaction with reading and writing to different handles, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up, or, as a consequence, firing up lldb at any point.

With the custom debug printers found in the Zig repo, 'proper' debugging is a fairly nice experience for Zig code as well, I use it heavily on other projects. But sometimes trace debugging / print debugging is the natural fit to the program, and I like that the language makes it basically free do use. Horses for courses.
But that advantage has nothing to do with accepting data of the wrong type into a column (by default).
I'm working with SBoM, one fun side effect is that you can scan SBoM's for vulnerabilities. Suddenly hackers, your customers and your competitors starts do to this and you need to make sure your third party dependencies are updated.

This reveals the cost of dependencies (that often are ignored).

I hope that we in the future will have a more nuanced discussion on when it's okay to add a dependency and when you should write from scratch.
Oh, just based on the README I assumed RGFW was more minimal than it actually is.
There's no indication that's the case though? If the standard of evidence for executing CEOs is "maybe because there's embezzling going on because lack of records will help an embezzler", then it seems fair to execute programmers for introducing 0days because "maybe it's an intentional backdoor because a well placed memory corruption bug would help hackers". Even before the xz backdoor, accusations of vulnerabilities being intentional backdoors isn't uncommon.

Since the company the article is about is a new fintech, I’d say users should be comparing to online banks and not the old guard retail banks.

I.e. Marcus, Amex, citizen access, etc. note those are tied to very reputable businesses too.

Then there’s the hundred or more high yield online banks that are more unknown like live oak bank and others.

Choosing either of those two group to compare to, which since gotta was an unknown online bank seems far more appropriate than a legacy retail bank, and yotta’s interest rate is bad.
Isn't it better to use a logger than print statements for distributed systems? Maybe I'm putting too much logging everywhere, but distributed systems are typically a use case where a bug can appear, be 'fixed' (or 'fix itselfn) , then re-appear two month later (the eisenbug). In this case, DEBUG=true and relaunching the app with a logger is often better imho (and if your logger is good, it prints on stdout/stderr when your app is launched locally).
I wonder where we'd be if we'd stopped relying on system packages to provide dependencies for C / C++. It is positively miserable to have to pollute your system when a codebase written in Go / Rust / your favourite modern language Just Works out of the box.

Definitely cost. $525 for the kit, $150 for the D26200, <$100 for the frame: that's less than $1000, while an equivalent COTS CNC would go for over $20k new and probably $5-10k for used-but-in-good-condition.

Plus it'd be much more compact. In the course of my former life as a small-"biz" hacker I had to move a one-ton router three or four times, and none of them were pleasant. Moreover, when later COVID hit we 'temporarily' stashed it in storage, and as things dragged on we ended up having to destroy it -- and let me tell you, even with people rotating off on the angle grinder it still took a full weekend to cut the thing apart, while a wood frame like the Maslow uses would take at most half an hour with a sawzall.
