then we have fewer restaurants

No, we don't. People still have to eat. If anything, we have fewer restaurants today because of consolidation in the industry and the way massive-scale delivery enables ghost kitchens that take customers away from actual restaurants.

less economic activity

Uber Eats barely generates any "economic activity." It doesn't rate against the economic activity generated when people go outside.

less diversity

Now you're just making things up. People don't become Ethiopian because they sat on their couch to eat at Ethiopian delivery compared with actually going to an Ethiopian restaurant.

a less interesting life for everyone!

Leaving your house is more interesting than being inside. It's pretty much the definition of "living."
An History of Covered Bridges
I have different experience. It took me some time to make a rote and write down all turns. Now getting from location A to B is a lot easier. Take a look at proposed rote and make some corrections. Meanwhile I spend time thinking about something else. So, GPS doesn't make me stupid or forgetful. It's just a tool which makes me more productive. The same almost true for LLM, except getting the right answer isn't always easy or possible. But overall on coding small utilities it's very helpful. For reasoning models I still need to find the right tasks. May be more complex utilities. Or the one I can't get from 4o yet: red-black tree with custom memory management and custom 'pointers' in data objects (small integers). While custom allocators are supported by std, the implementation still keeps native pointers, which locks it in memory.

Sorry to have disappointed you. I don't walk, talk, or sleep either Rust or Go, but was trying to provide some resources to help in case you hadn't seen them yet.

One difference I noticed in the docs is in the Go Reference it says the "go" line of the "go.mod" has to be greater than or equal to the go line of all that modules dependencies, if the go line is 1.21 or higher, so a module for 1.21 can't depend on a module for 1.22 [1]

That restriction doesn't apply for Rust, a library using the 2015 edition can use a dependency that uses the 2018 edition, for example.

That's just one difference I noticed in the implementation. The goals seem very similar if not the same

> But in a GPS denied environment where you can't set the clock right before flight

First of all I don't think the use-case involves the drones operators being deprived of GPS, but even if they were: you don't need GPS to get sub-second accurate time, any internet connection will do it thanks to NTP. Sure it's not as accurate as GPS, but it's still way more accurate than what you need for this to work. Heck, even sharing time through a phone call would work well enough.
Because you should wrapp that in a type safe function. You should not use the context.GetValue() directly but use your own function, the context is just a transport mechanism.

On the topic of palindromic numbers, I remember being fascinated as a kid with the fact that if you square the number formed by repeating the digit 1 between 1 and 9 times (e.g. 111,111^2) you get a palindrome of the form 123...n...321 with n being the number of 1s you squared.

The article talks about a very similar number: 2^31-1, which is 12345678910987654321, whereas 1111111111^2 is 12345678900987654321

During the relevant time there were two predominant layouts for the number key row: “typewriter-paired”, which is more or less same as the one used today and “bit-paired” where the symbols had the same order as they have in ASCII (ie. pressing a number key while holding shift produces a character represented by that number's ascii codepoint minus 0x10)

JReleaser: quick and effortless way to release your project
The ecosystem around these devices is amazing. The data is openly available in ideal formats for sharing.

When your workout syncs from your watch to the Garmin app, Garmin ships it to a whole bunch of other places - a whole data pipeline kicks off across the Internet at no cost to you.

If only more of the software world would settle into this type of equilibrium, instead of the competitive data hoarding we see from so many other companies, it’d be a far better world for consumers and competition.

Garmin’s business model doesn’t depend on hoarding data. Hope it stays that way!

I think it's mostly obvious how you could implement CI with "local-first" programs (scripts?), but systems like Github provide value on top by making some of the artifacts or steps first-class objects.

Not sure how much of that does Github do, but it could parse test output (I know we used that feature in Gitlab back when I was using that on a project), track flaky tests for you or give you a link to code for a failing test directly.

Or it could highlight releases on their "releases" page, with release notes prominently featured.

And they allow you to group pipelines by type and kind, filter by target environment and such.

On top of that, they provide a library of re-usable workflows like AWS login, or code checkout or similar.

With all that, the equation is not as clear cut: you need to figure out how to best leverage some of those (or switch to external tools providing them), and suddenly, with time pressure, just going with the flow is a more obvious choice.

A number of headlines have come out recently touting China's progress on electrification, and predicting that they will soon (if they don't already) dominate the solar/battery/EV markets.

The part often glossed over is that while the U.S. and Russia both have large oil reserves and domestic production capabilities, China has virtually nothing in comparison. Their production is about 1/4 that of the U.S. despite having 4x the population, meaning that per capita, they have < 1/16th the oil available. Electrification is a matter of national security for them, because any major global geopolitical conflict (say, the escalation of the Russia/Ukraine war, or a Russia/US conflict, or more turmoil in the Middle East) will cut off the flow of oil imports and grind China's already-weakened economy to a halt.

Follow the incentives and you can predict the outcomes.
> You can't start a war, lose it, and the complain of genocide

I think one can. The Palestinians, notably, didn’t start that war. The groups that did didn’t do so with the consent and support of their entire populations. In the end, the leaders of one set of countries started a stupid war that caused the death and displacement of the civilians of another.

The reason I think this is worth discussing is it’s a rhyme away from October 7th and its aftermath (Iran and Hamas didn’t bear nearly the costs that the Palestinians did), as well as American activists deciding that they should propose a war to end Israel despite the costs, again, looking likely to heap on the remaining Palestinians.

Uncovering narrative aging: an underlying spatially compensated neural mechanism
I was a books person, and got rid of all of my books.

Maybe all is easier than some?

Only on rare occasions do I miss any of them, and that's not enough to make carting them around and storing them worthwhile.

Also, having the the books go to good homes makes a difference in regrets. My sf collection, for example, got more use in its public library home, than I ever could've given it. And this one book that I think was inscribed by a famous writer (not their own book, but a gift to a friend of theirs), and which had randomly come into my hands, I in turn randomly gave to an ER nurse who'd had asked about it.

The only books I really should've kept were the two that friends had inscribed to me, but those were lost in a tricky move.

China has the 2nd largest coal reserve globally. They also produce 61% of their electricity from Coal-fired power plants.

All that static discharge is coming at the expense of the mechanical energy in the system is it not? I’m surprised they let it zap like that video and don’t try to recuperate it somewhere.

One of the weirdest power scavenging solutions I ever saw used a spark gap and a bespoke transformer to make a reverse Tesla coil - taking the very high, very brief voltage spike of a static discharge and stepping it down to create low voltage over a a longer interval.

Sheets lags at 1000 rows. Excel allows 1 million. Excel has incredible optimization capabilities, it's numerics are vastly faster (and more accurate, thanks to Javascript being terrible for accurate math). While Javascript (sheets) is decently performant, it's no match for C++ and hand tuned assembly making Excel work. I tried but cannot find a single performance benchmark where Sheets outperforms Excel.

And the first time you need sheets to interact with any of the zillion excel spreadsheets running on the planet (all of finance and pretty much all of corporate America) and it fails and it costs you a contract, you'll switch immediately.

I'm guessing you really don't push either much at all.

Despite Sheets having a free version for almost 20 years, Excel sales are at all time highs. Go figure.

My description of NAZI Germany is downplaying the evil, if anything. They had a lot of power even before 1936 but in 1936 they openly seized the economy (completely) to prepare for direct war with the communists. This is called the Four-Year plan. I will re-iterate that they executed people regularly, for being "dissidents" or any kind of political opponents or "communists".

I am only writing this for comedic effect. One day someone will read this, and they will see a person defending NAZI Germany as a country with free markets, and in the same time blaming Elon of being a nazi because he moved the arm. Remarkable, I have to say.

Don't tell me who is expert and who is not an expert. Use your own brain - how can NAZI Germany have any degree of freedom at all and do what they have done? They could have done that only because they had full power and were brutal with any opposition. This is true for the communists, too. It is the same thing. One uses the Aryans and one uses the Proleteriat.

The focus on minimization is a security feature given it reduces attack surface area.
