Even if you keep your communications airtight, boneheaded decisions when they move the money from cyberspace into meatspace are quite common: people living way beyond their means, 22 y/o's buying $200K+ cars without proper income records get caught quickly once people start looking.
Another point in favor of 60 is there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. If you make the frequency 60 cycles/second then you only need divide-by-60 circuits to derive 1 cycle/second, 1 cycle/minute, and 1 cycle/hour.

With 50 cycles/second you would need both divide-by-50 and divide-by-60.

I think a fork with a mission to aggressively rewrite the kernel into Rust would be a great experiment. Lessons learned could be applied to the more mainstream C/Rust kernel(s).

The required signing of addons (even local installed ones) is the main reason i won't use firefox anymore. And no, using a developer build (which might work or not) isn't fixing it.

Even Edge allows me to run unsigned addons (even if it's with a warning, but for my use case I am fine with that one).
This is a pointlessly destructive move that will save insignificant amounts of money, while grossly hampering important research in the US. If we're looking for "efficiencies" in government take a look at healthcare, look at what insurance companies are allowed to charge, what hospitals charge insurance in turn. It's a bonanza of cash that's justified in vague free market terms, while the taxpayer is stuck with a bill in the trillions. Far more than education or NIH grants, more than military spending, healthcare in this country simply robs people blind. The focus is often on bankrupted, uninsured people, but the truth is that far more is just skimmed off the top.
That's cool and thanks for sharing!

Maybe big private institutions will do fine. But this will be devastating for smaller institutions – especially public ones – that have had to deal with declining enrollment for years.

I work at a small state access university, without a meaningful endowment, that has traditionally had ~48% indirects. The majority of those go to research administration (e.g. research integrity, human subjects protection) and department general funds. Don't worry about facilities: we will literally be trying to figure out whether to cut journal subscriptions or startup funds for new hires, since we can't touch compliance.

Of course, it's not as if Team Red cared that much about universities anyway, or medicine, or biology...

This doesn't even come close to being true.
On the topic of "sparingly and as a last resort" I agree, and I think there is more to it. There are situations where it makes sense to panic and there are situations where it doesn't make sense. There can be policies that guide when panic is/isn't appropriate.

In an open source library that I maintain, the C code makes use of asserts. These asserts are essentially unrecoverable panics on constraint/invariant violation. The effect of an assert failure is that violation renders the code unrunnable ("utterly broken"). Unfortunately "panic, go fix it" turns out to not be a great fit for a widely distributed library for at least three reasons: (1) the user of a library is often not in a position to fix it, (2) the distribution is so far removed from the maintainers that the maintainers may or may not get the message to fix it, and even if they can fix it the turnaround time to the next distro release doesn't help the current user very much, (3) if the constraint violations can be triggered by external code then we are essentially introducing "transitive panic" for conditions that we can't possibly fix (we don't control or have visibility into external code, such as Windows APIs and drivers).

The upshot of this is that our policies are to only panic (i.e. use an assert) to check conditions/constraints/invariants that are under the full control of our own code base (never to confirm assumptions about externally supplied data). If we are in a context where it is practicable, prefer raising error conditions such as "internal error" or "unexpected native API response".

With the above in mind, I disagree with your point about supervision trees and restarting lightweight processes. Requiring panics to crash the whole process is the most extreme outcome possible, and can potentially lead to an extremely unsatisfactory user experience. Software is almost always performing many more functions than the little piece of code that panics. I find it difficult to believe that killing the whole process (i.e. unrecoverable panic) is universally the best course of action. Killing and permanently disabling the lightweight process would at least allow the rest of the program a chance to continue in some kind of limp mode until the issue can be fixed.

Looking at it another way, by killing the whole process, you are effectively limiting use to those cases where killing the whole process is indeed the only appropriate course of action.

On "you'll keep running into the issue over and over again and possibly even end up ignoring it" To me this smells over-opinionated and poorly justified. So long as there is good error reporting and diagnostics tracing, the user of the language can and should decide these things. But maybe it can be better justified and maybe there are plenty of use-cases that are fine with "no soup for you!" at the first sign of trouble.

That was a political machine thing. In the days before social security, destitute old people with connections to the local ward leader would be handed a broom and a modest wage.

Fantastic work. My dream would be to use this for a browser audiobook generator for epubs. I made a cli audiobook generator with Piper [0] that got some traction and I wanted to port it to the browser, but there were too many issues. [1]

Is there source anywhere? Seems the assets/ folder is bundled js.
In my opinion, there's a ton of opportunity for private, progressive web apps with this while WebGPU is still relatively newly implemented.

Would love to collaborate in some way if others are also interested in this

I don’t really see the problem but at the same time I understand it’s not a perfect solution. I used to do geospatial work using ESRI products and Zip codes polygons are very useful because people use are often interested in things inside of zip codes especially partial 3-4 digit zip code area, but they are occasionally non-contiguous so you can end up with strange results, visually and mathematically (for example how do you find the “center” of a non-contiguous shape? You don’t).

Edit: I wanted to point out that I recall that ESRI maps used to come “out of the box” with zip code polygon layers. While I agree they are technically not polygons in the strictest sense, they often are or they are fully closed shapes or close enough to it - and even if they are missing a few nodes to make a complete polygon, whoever did the digitizing probably manually closed the loop so to speak. Remember, geospatial maps are used for many different purposes, likely none of them having anything to do with postal routes, so in that sense they are “good enough” for most purposes.
Having talked to a couple of people in the CDC I fear the worst. They’re not allowed to participate with the WHO outside of the agency (even on their own time). The employees are largely censored from expressing their opinion on any topic, anywhere.

They were talking about getting work outside of the States. These are smart, dedicated people who are boots-on-the-ground for crises like Ebola, and I wonder about the purpose of the agency and our ability to respond to the next event (with bird flu looming on the horizon).

So research aside, our incident response has already been compromised, and we’re just seeing the beginning.
You’ll need to cite your sources because this has been studied and it seems to be!
Psychedelics + cognitive therapy has a lot of promise. There's a lot of types of psychedelics and therapies to investigate. MDMA with a group of close friends/family in a safe and loving environment is probably the best you could do on your own.

Personally, cold exposure + lots of coffee + engaging work w/ others has been more effective than anything I've found in the healthcare system. Commit to daily work/social obligations, then drink enough coffee until you can will yourself to go everyday. Once it starts to become a habit is when my depression (slowly) will start to lift. If I stop for too long I fall back into the hole.
That sounds like the kind of thing that would lead to the countries where those assets are actually located saying "haha, no".

Is there even a use to running DC in a home?

Almost everything complex does run on DC internally, but you feed those via AC adapters that then invert it to DC. You'd have to get bespoke DC-DC adapters (transformers, really) for everything.
The parent comment asked (very specifically!) for real examples, not C-suite fantasies. They received a reply literally describing the fantasy of a c-suite individual. I thought that was funny.

The composition of a planet's atmosphere has to do with the RMS velocity of gas molecules at a given planetary temperature. When this velocity exceeds the escape velocity of the planet, that gas is lost to space.

But there is one more factor. In the absence of a magnetic field, gas molecules can dissociate from being hit with the particles from the solar wind. E.g., water can dissociate into oxygen and hydrogen, and hydrogen having a relatively high RMS velocity readily leaks out to space. The remaining oxygen is too reactive to remain and then forms carbonates in rocks and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is, from what I read, the explanation for the atmospheres of both Mars and Venus, which have only a small to non-existent magnetic field.

So yes, a magnetic field seems to be essential to holding a life-friendly atmosphere.

There actually are algorithms that compute the centroid of multi part polygons. So you can in fact find the center of a non-contiguous shape. Now, whether that centroid actually has value in a real world application, I’m not sure.
Linus has to have one of the most stressful and difficult jobs available.¹

The Linux kernel is part of so many different things, projects, products, companies, etc. A change can really duck things up.

Being conservative, and slow, in adopting new things is good for the main line.

You have idealistic developers who have seen a way to do something better,
that is great. I know the feeling.

I have never done anything with the Linux kernel, but I have worked on some
large legacy codebases. and it is to come in, look around, and just go
"Gosh, this here is just slow, I'll just fix this".
and it will be a good solution right there, but it might be suboptimal overall.

Chances are really good that you dont understand the entire picture when you
"fix something", and someone who does, may not like the change.
and even if the technical solution is clearly better from one angle.

I am glad I will never be involved in blessing or passing on 1.000.000 different
changes being proposed as improvements to Linux every week.

What's the cause? Alternators run at very high frequencies with good rectifiers, so I'm guessing the flicker is introduced by PWM dimming, but why would that be a low enough frequency to bother people?

I'm sensitive to flicker myself, but only on the more extreme half of the spectrum. For example, half rectified LED drivers on 60 Hz AC drive me nuts, but full rectified (120 Hz) I very rarely notice. I don't notice any problem with car tail lights, except in the case of a video camera where the flicker and the frame rate are beating. The beating tends to be on the order of 10 Hz (just shooting from the hip here) so if frame rates are 30/60/120 then I guess the PWM frequency is something like 110 or 130 Hz?
I think this very much depends on the field. The researchers I know are describing it as devastating because the type of research they do depends on things like animal facilities which aren’t cheap. Fortunately, we don’t need any biomedical research since drinking raw milk will solve everything.

The freakiest thing to me is the Lawsons. This was a tiny little convenience store chain that existed in a few counties near Cleveland, OH. It went out of business around 1980, but through some baffling chain of events managed to migrate to Japan where they seem to be only slightly less common than 7/11s.

Reminds me of back when they claimed wine was good for your health

Turned out to be people affluent enough to drink wine regularly also had regular access to healthcare and were thus likelier to be healthy (for some definition of healthy)

Similarly here, I’m tempted to believe that anyone who does CWI regularly probably lives a healthier lifestyle in general and that CWI is just one element of a robust health routine.

It’d be pretty hard to tease out all this in a study like this. I think in situations like this the approach I’d take is:

See what the science says in terms of theoretical benefits, get some anecdotes from trusted sources, and when the stakes are low like this, give it a shot myself.

That said, noted that some of the other positives seemed to be a bit more directly measurable/observable, eg stress reduced after 12 hrs and things like that.
The fact that you try to make this about “being cool” is absurd.
Did someone actually do this experiment? Maybe there’s some data from the London Blitz?
More like a major disruption than a complete disaster. If the funding cuts actually happen, I expect that states would create their own funding agencies. At least the ones that care about academic research. After a while, the impact would be limited to research universities in states without good funding instruments. Which would not be that different from the situation in Europe.

In the long term, there would be economic consequences, but old guys like Trump won't live to see it.
