I was obsessed with this book when I was 8 or 9 (so around 1990/1991). I didn't have much success with actually writing GW-BASIC code but I loved reading the manual. I even insisted on reading it aloud to my grandmother, I'm not sure what she made of my doing that.

Not this edition though. An older edition which had a plain cover.

Closer to http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/microsoft/gw-basic/410130001-32... and http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/microsoft/gw-basic/410130013-32... bound in the same volume, but I don't think exactly those editions either.

I think the version I had (I seem to have lost it over the decades) was closest to https://hwiegman.home.xs4all.nl/gw-man/ but I can't find a PDF version of that

Prime numbers are like the atoms of numbers. They are indivisible and you can make all the other numbers from them. So, finding out more about primes translates into tighter constraints or proofs in many other (often not obviously related) theories.

And, it's beautiful to think about. Maybe huge practical innovations might result, or maybe only the pleasure of understanding something deep about numbers in the short time we exist.
> The biggest downside for the grinder is that it doesn’t work with starbucks style oily roasts

I have no idea whether my coffee is oily or not. I sometimes buy Starbucks Blonde Roast, is that oily? I would expect a $749 grinder work with any coffee beans.

And the grinder looks great, except for the two things that immediately catch my eye:

- the cable that I feel should come from the base and not hang like that.

- I think there should be a (optional) storage container integrated where the ground coffee goes.

And the 'See more' link ( https://velofuso.com/oculo ) doesn't work
I'm quite intrigued by the gear pump upgrade kit, since this was something I had been planning to do for a while. The vibratory pump from my E61 machine is incredibly loud and doesn't particularly spark joy.

Looking around the market for some used Fluid-o-tech gear pumps which were not extremely expensive was quite frustrating. Also having to deal with the correct power supply for the replacement pump wasn't something I was looking forward to.

Props on releasing such cool products!

Order #1 for the Pump kit went through. Looking forward to try it out!

Nothing beats the privacy-oriented FUTO keyboard for me.
Nice. Somewhat tempting to upgrade from my ivy bridge, but then I'm reminded that intel's last decade has been such a dumpster fire that everything from the last decade may be more or less the same. What does libreboot mean these days ? Does T480 do native RAM init ? Or does it still need FSP ? It may be easier to use coreboot directly. I don't think libreboot does anything more than coreboot these days. This is also exciting as T480 is the same as T25, so you may be able to use T25's keyboard with it. That's the old style keyboard that they don't make any more.
I love that people properly document important stuff like that. My grandma died last year aged 94 or so, and in her inheritance was a load of stuff that she wrote tiny notes on. I've got a plastic ibex head with a barometer on my wall now from the 60's or whatever with a tiny handwritten note taped to the back when and where it was bought. I mean it's worthless in both collectability and sentimental value, but the little note gives it a bit more personality.

I should do the same with anything I think is collectible / not trash / may end up in someone else's hands. For example, I bought some LPs over time, I should document when and where I bought them from at least. Maybe print out some information about the band / artist and include it, as the music themself is only part of the "product".
Overlays were supported even in Turbo Pascal 3.x, which, IIRC, came out in the same decade as Clipper, maybe before or around the same time.

People are interested in things and like spending their time on it, that is called "living". Yet other people make careers out of expanding the bounds of knowledge for humanity, often with no clear application in mind, this is called foundational research.

Sometimes if we are lucky either one of those yields phenomenal practical applications, just because some nerd thought there was a missing piece in the puzzle and they ought to find it.

I know many nowadays believe that the sole goal of humanity ought to be the increase of shareholder value, even if said increase is at odds with human survival on this planet. Then 99% of us just exist, work our asses off, with little to no time spent with our loved ones while leaving the planet and humanity in a worse state than previous generations — and then we die.

Was that really it then?
After 28 years of leaving BASIC for C and then Java, I took a course on data science using Python. I heartily agree with you. The simplicity and power Python brings is refreshing.
My ultimate point is that old people, especially those not very well, are very vulnerable to being forced to do this, and I saw ~first hand how easy and undetectable it was. You can add bureaucratic constraints but it's fundamentally a human problem. While expressing utmost sympathy to critically ill and unwell people, I don't know how you make this without endangering many more people than those would benefit from such changes.

How do you even measure if it's working "well" in Canada? They have a process. There is no way to question the people who went through with it whether, on reflection, it was their own free will.

But of course looking at how others do it is a good starting place for further analysis and I'll go now and educate myself.
Miles to km, yes. As another European, I know that because it's relevant to understand when they talk about speed limits, top speeds of cars, etc.

Pounds to kg... If it's written media, I just paste it to Google and get the conversion. If it's movies or shows, honestly I don't think I have found an instance while it actually matters at all. If a movie character says "Oh, no, I've gained 10 pounds in a month, I need to go on a diet" you know that they're sad because that's a non-negligible amount of weight, and knowing how much it exactly is doesn't affect understanding of the movie at all.

It's a similar situation to old novels talking about money... When you read a novel from 200 years ago talking about dollars, pounds or whatever, do you look at the historic inflation rate to check today's equivalence? You might, if you're a perfectionist, but the truth is that you can perfectly understand such novels without knowing that just by the context in which they mention money.

Ding's was not objective neither thoughful, Ding was completely melted down after the interview and the interview was a reflection of that. Chess is a drawn game and the gist of playing chess is to be more resilient, blunder less and exploit as many of the chances you got in your game. Matches and games are won exactly because the opponent doesn't make the best of his chances. This is the cruel nature of the game. A player like Carlsen, Karpov , Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Topalov or any other world champion would have felt entitled to win the last game playing White after Gukesh missed a crucial chance to close the match the game before. But no, Ding played to draw and swap pieces even when he had the initiative in the 14th game. And he lost the game with a club player blunder because he still insisted on exchanging pieces when down a pawn. It's basic knowledge that pawn endgames are decisive and you have always to calculate them exactly when entering one, that when one is down material he has to exchange pawns but not pieces, and that in general rook endgames are slighly easier to play than pawn endgames. Any master would have insisted on shuffling the rook and would have never thinked of exchanging pieces in that situation. The fact that he exchanged the rook is a reflection of Ding's terrible form.

Also, I can appreciate that the 'source data' in materials-and-method seem to vary a bit.
My naive take-away is, that when you take the average of everything, you get "grey" or "0.5".

Probably uncorrelated, the findings though match with 'everything not taken in moderation/to extremes, fail to achieve the desired result".

No. Linux just sucks and is bad at deploying proprietary software in a reliable manner.

It's not particularly difficult to target a broad combination of Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. They're all basically the same. Even x64 vs ARM is largely irrelevant.

In a sense SteamOS isn't even Linux. It's one distribution with no user modifications running on one set of hardware. It's closer to a console than to "Linux".

Meanwhile Linux isn't even a thing. It's many many many different things. Once upon a time I shipped a game that supported Linux. It's been awhile but Linux players were roughly 1% of the audience but they represented 50% of bug reports. And no, Linux users were not "good" users who were simply better at reporting bugs.

Yeah, you would have to really like espresso for this to be worth it. Personally I don't like espresso. The only thing it's good for is the milk drinks, which I also don't particularly like, and being a lazy "push button" coffee. If I'm going to put effort in, filter is the way to go (I use a V60).

I reckon hipsters will be drinking filter in a few years' time, if they aren't already.

As for hot water taps for tea, if you are brewing black/red tea that is usually not good enough as they don't produce truly boiling water, although some do claim to.

But that's low-hanging fruit "optimization", no? Once you get around it, and this has been forever, the bottleneck is in the backend generation. So if Rust has already solved this, the area where they can improve most is the backend generation?

Most C++ builds I have worked with, and all of them being MMLoC codebases, were actually bottlenecked by the high memory pressure. In part due to heavy templates and symbol visibility.

Complicated explanations for what is probably quite simple: The genes are sequences of DNA which have only very indirect and complicated, non-linear effects on the outcome. In this case the genes code for "I must care for my offspring". On very rare occasions this doesn't quite work advantageously (in a strict evolutionary sense), but mostly it does. There may be no practical set of mutations that could fine-tune this behaviour (such as: dozens of changes would be required, but the outcome is negative unless all happen together), so it continues this way.

No, this is in Emacs shell-mode on Linux (various distros over the years). Just tried a few other places: it works in qterminal, and also doesn't work in eshell. I've been writing Haskell for about 15 years, including my current job as a full-time Haskell developer, and I never realised GHCi supports Ctrl-D in some situations!

Every other REPL I've used handles this fine, e.g. for quitting Python, Nix repl, SSH sessions, and even the shell itself. Weird.

The irony is that it's the same non-academic organisations that are deciding those topics to get funded and who now are deciding to cut the funding.

Academics have to apply for funding and one big criteria over the years has been it's "social impact".

So there's three things. The politics of those in charge of funding. The change of academia to only allow research deemed socially useful (utilitarianism). And the third is the co-adoption of researchers themselves.

As politics change the response should be to change the criteria and agenda of funding to make it less radical not to cut the funding.

Furthermore these organisations have, over the years enlarged and entrenched themselves. This is why millions are spent on thousands of people to monitor DEI of the academics.

What does successful(ness?) has to do with being smart?
I guess we both can name quite a few people (doctors, scientists etc) who are very smart and knowledgeable in more than one field. But are not successful. At least not in any economical scense.

>Понял?

That's just a typical russian thinking: if one can push through their way through whatever shit they are in - they are smart.

No they are not. Successful? Maybe. Hardworking? Sure, I never said that they are lazy or something like that.

Hotshots as they are - most of them are not smart.

> I know one who opened a beauty salon

I know many people who started working right after school graduation. They worked hard and quite successful too. Some have businises or other goods sources of income. Still - they are borish and anyone with at least few hobbies will have hard time talking to them because they have very few interests outside of money and spending money.
I think Asciinema live streaming is a new feature I used it this summer to share terminals from one of my jumphosts. For the security part I only did "anyone can watch" which was usable but felt a bit lacking when I tried to use it. There are lots of UX gotchas with doing screen recording of terminals worst one is that a good broadcast is always a small screen, but when I work I want lots of data.

Kubernetes is awful at displaying secret stuff when sharing live terminals for showing ops.

I think something that plays into this for products is that there is a lot of obvious incentive to making the function of things more efficient to build first. But as we become more efficient at building just the function of things, adding diverging flavor takes up a higher proportion of cost even if the cost of it itself absolutely stayed the same.

I do think broadly we're probably oversaturated with the flavor of high definition and 'realness' in the mainstream. But I don't think this is the end of taste evolution. Recently I've been looking back on movie posters from past decades. I think movie posters and advertisements are decent to examine here as they play to the mass taste of their time. In isolation of their moment and market there was a uniformity in style, yet over time it still progresses despite keeping it's core features.

Globalism is perhaps disappointing here because it means we have few equally sized parallel 'mainstreams' taking place. But at least with the internet, you can still just as rapidly find many actively diverging styles that are otherwise relatively niche to the mainstream.[1]

Would this imply that humans’ propensity to keep pets is also an association error in the brain?
For the researchers - because it is fun most likely, and they get paid for it. For society, I am glad we live in a society where some money is skimmed off for curiousity. But for a pratical reasons - this stuff (or some other bet) rears up as useful years down the line for something practical. Maybe some kind of cryptography or making quantum computing feasible... who knows! Imaginary numbers are pretty useful in science, and they probably seemed exotic when they first were talked about.
Not sure if this is for or against, but this is a good opportunity to argument why concepts developed “in humanities” are valuable (in case if it’s not obvious :D )

Maslows hierarchy of needs, while possibly inaccurate, is a very usefull model and concept to have. As our understanding of human condition improves, we need specific terms to understand them.

Imagine is there was no word for love or hunger… for aristicracy or oligarchy… etc.
