Yes, liquids are similar to what you describe. Although the forces are quite a bit more complex than just being packed into a tight space.

That is how gasses are. Although in that case there are lots of high speed elastic collisions happening.

How do you think the money in 401k, pension funds (government, teachers, etc.), S&P500, and any other financial instruments typically relied on by all sorts of average people grow? Do you think they appear out of thin air by the magic will of the market?

Or maybe there is some mechanism through which efficient price discovery happens in a way that benefits both the average people utilizing common investment vehicles and those who actively manage/administer those?
Jobs are regional. Here in Estonia I see a lot more Node.js jobs YoY, very few Python gigs, zero Rust jobs, and very few C# jobs. Heck, PHP has more jobs than C#. Node/JS seems to compete with Java here for job popularity, according to local job boards, and most Java jobs also require Node.js/JS knowledge.
I curious why you point to them doing stupid things for stupid reasons and but still seem certain they aren't stupid.

"USA has a trade deficit because everyone is taking advantage of us" is stupid!
So you agree that there was a large amount of hyperbole which was intended to create fear but not constructed in good faith?

that’s what I would conclude from “it exists but wasn’t taken seriously”
Because these things aren’t rigorously defined it is helpful to follow the convention rather than to go to the dictionary definition of a similar word. I mean surely you wouldn’t say something along the lines of “I often see socialists who aren’t invited to many parties, so are they really social?”

Then why are you making any argument that it was a success?

Why would you suggest it's fine? Without knowing their exact costs, debts, revenues, etc. you know _nothing_. Why would you suggest it's doing fine when knowing nothing about it's financial position?
US collects tax through the entire process and at the point of sale to the consumer. EU refunds the entire VAT so on that point you are wrong. EU exporters have a tax as advantaged export. This is mostly because the US does not have a VAT system.

That’s a fair point however I could see it apply more if they were developing a completely unheard of system, I don’t know some fusion rocket or that whacky centrifuge launch system, but so far it seems they’re going after a traditional design with enough existing research and engineering already around. That’s why people are surprised at their lack of progress.

Tbh I would much rather write utilities in Go. The advantages of Rust are minimal here and the disadvantages are an obstacle. Last time I wrote a CLI in Rust it was a search index builder you could pipe CSV to. Awful DX. Go is almost too easy for that kind of thing.

If there is one thing I’ve learned about philosophy, it is that it is a field full of arrogant know-it-alls who pretend to know what I am thinking better than I do, and who will preen on about how unenlightened I am while treating me like a 3 year old who should be silent while the adults are talking, wielding “philosophy” like some joke I’m missing that gives them an excuse to be socially-inept at my expense.

Obviously (to me, at least) this behavior is all centered around bullshit. I think it is somewhat common for those who experience anxiety over a lack of control to try and define or categorize what others are thinking, and to find a mild sense of closure or superiority after having done so. But life just isn’t that simple. So I (rightly or wrongly) think of philosophy as a dead field full of old lifeless straw-men.

That is my point! If you think "just using SystemD services in a VM" is easy but "Kubernetes is hard", and you say "Kubernetes is hard" is because of Linux, cgroups, cloud storage, mount namespaces, ... Then I can't comprehend that argument, because those are things that exist in both solutions.

Let's be clear on what we're comparing or we can't argue at all. Kubernetes is hard if you have never seen a computer before, I will happily concede that.

None of them will crash after 30s of playback because your postcode changed for a week, because you have an ad blocker installed, or because you just plugged in an external display and some DRM magic kicked in. Just find the file, download it and double click.
>... I’ve seen absolutely no correlation between where you eat and whether you have intestinal problems...

Add to this one: always make sure your hands are clean before you eat. A little bottle of sanitiser will do wonders for your health in areas with poor sanitation.

Otherwise, one tip I would like to add - when in doubt, do as the locals do. Especially useful when you can't read signs.
This comment definitely appear to be written a bit too fast and with disregard to the context.

Firing is not an issue. The issue is fire to rehire.

It is not only indicative of poor leadership, but also does it break down institutions - one of the key values government provides.

to contextualize: Do you think you can get people to go to war for the US if you can not make up your mind on whether or not to keep them on payroll?

But we will see how the US will fare with broken down institutions.
You can thank Sun Microsystems for this. They had the world in the palm of their hand with HotJava, but decided to abandon it. If they had continued, Java would been the language of choice for the web and they likely wouldn't have been acquired by Oracle.
I think I use google more than I used to, but differently?

I spend a lot of time in chat with various LLMs, but I typically find, even with deep research, I do a better job of looking for additional context myself (or at last, there comes a point I know exactly what I want), so google search is still important for me, even outside the regular searching the web I'd do. Youtube, I'm using more than I used to but not more of the same, I think maybe with LLMs I have more free time + I spend more time keeping up with tech than I did ever in the 2010s, so I watch more "pop tech" than I ever did before. I also arrange my thoughts from LLMs into documents in google docs, so, I find myself in google docs more for personal than I used to.
Whom does income tax cuts help? Median US salary is 62k. That person pays ~12k in income taxes. Conservatives are going to ‘save’ that person 1k on their taxes or some other paltry sum and then cancel a bunch of services, fire a few hundred thousand workers, and raise tariffs to make the actual cost go up on everything that person buys.
no, they aren't
Since we are now being governed by the enthusiastic ignorant raised in the wake of Reaganism (or for the unfortunate Brits, Thatcherism), it would be a really good idea for us to rename the Department of Energy to the Department of Scary Nukes We Must Keep Secure. Then maybe GOP presidents would stop nominating oilmen to be Secretary of Energy.
> Parsing Is Not a Science

It can and should be, though. I feel like we should have a separate word for parsing when the rules are not well-defined - something like "fuzzy parsing" (in a similar vein to fuzzy string comparison)
A large amount of important Python libraries are still missing a good amount of typing - and dealing with third party typesheds is not a good developer experience. The implementation of types in cpython has also been glacially slow and fragmented.

To add to the issue, a huge amount of Python in public repositories is untyped and unversioned- which means that LLMs are pretty bad at getting typing correcting in Python, so the debt is growing much faster than the solutions.

I honestly think that the most viable solution at this point for typing is a typescript-adjacent solution for Python. I’m kind of surprised Microsoft hasn’t put one out yet
Once you are out of the dating game you may get married and start a family. That also has a mental overhead, and it can be hard to keep your kids schedules aligned with demands / timelines from work in tech.

I think you learn to bear the load more gracefullly as you age and mature. It also puts life more into perspective.

My main point is you learn to handle it, which is actually a good form of personal growth.
Not sure about that. We had 14 years of right wing government in the UK, and stagnant growth.
Sounds like "people who are not physically similar to me are p-zombies relative to me". By the same rule even our past selves are p-zombies relative to present selves, they could not possibly imagine our feelings as they lack the experience between then and now.
I remember hearing stories that for a time there was no engineer inside Apple responsible for the iOS Calculator.

Now it seems to be revived as there were some updates to it, but those also removed one of my favourite features -> tapping equals button no longer repeats the last operation.
It requires effort, but it's not always a chore. It should make your life easier by sharing the load of everyday burdens. I'm thankful to be sharing my life with my wife.
For all real numbers in bulk— You may call it a diagonal argument, but it’s just a reduction to Cantor’s original statement, no new proof needed. There are only countably many computable numbers, because there are only countably many programs, because there are only countably many finite strings over any finite alphabet[1].

For individual real numbers— There are of course provably uncomputable ones. Chaitin’s constant is the poster child of these, but you could just take a map of (number of Turing machine in any numbering of all of them) to (terminates or not) and call that a binary fraction. (This is actually not far away from Chaitin’s constant, but the actual one is reweighted a bit to make it more meaningful.) Are there unprovably uncomputable ones? At a guess I’d say so, but I’m not good enough to give a construction offhand.

Are you implying that marriage is, somehow, the end state of relationship building? I can assure you it does not end at marriage.
> Half the people in the country either a) want to watch everything burn, because the system has served them poorly for too long

I believe this as well, but it still baffles me. Don't people have a sense that things can always get worse?
The combination of poor road safety, lack of protective equipment and lesser health care if anything goes wrong does not make it an attractive option for me. Each to their own, I guess.

Context: I used to have a motorbike. I always wore full protective equipment. Full face helmet, leather, gloves and boots. But I realize that is less practical in a hot climate.
Formation is just one part of the equation. On the other side there's an additional C-C bond per segment of the hydrocarbon chain longer than methane, which you need to break during combustion.

Considering that Chevron is laying off 20% of its global work force, 10% seems like a slight tightening of the belt.
In places where people speak the other flavours of English, reading the name goes a bit like this:

The first thing that comes to mind is a slang term for someone who is physically disabled or limps. The second thing is that it refers to an insult (someone weak or foolish). Then one starts to wonder if it's a bondage reference... unless one is given additional context, one can never get to a design tool out of this. You wouldn't want people to overhear you say it and misunderstand the situation.
My org has a bot that generates AI summaries of all internal pull requests, and it's honestly been pretty helpful to compare that (a fairly accurate guess of what the PR will do) against the PR author's description (a statement of what the PR is meant to do). The main thing I look for in PRs is an alignment of intentions and actions, so the AI summary helps, especially for large PRs.

Of course, some engineers have stopped writing PR descriptions since the bot will do it for them. But that means that the only people who can effectively review that PR are the ones who already know what it's supposed to do, which is generally a small pool.

This has been a pattern I've seen repeated with workplace AI: they make something hard a little bit easier, but in a way that will the underlying problem worse over time.
Could this be abstracted enough with the right macros to make a subset of useful lisp commands play well with the shell? It could be a powerful way to extend the shell for interactive use.

There's a ton of medical and medical-adjacent stuff (both prescription and not) that isn't going to be easy to come up with in a typical village or small town. Good to have some basic things you can use to rig a backpack strap or hole repair. There are fairly essential clothing items you may not easily replace on foot in small towns; it's raining hard and you left your rain jacket at home.

Sure. If you have wheels, it's probably easier.
Datadog’s antics are a headache, but I'm stuck with Splunk due to corporate compliance and security demands. We keep the costs in check by funneling our logs through Cribl. In my experience, most companies end up juggling Splunk, Wazuh, and some custom SecOps setups—no silver bullet, just a series of compromises that keep the auditors happy.
Totally agree. It bothered me when I was younger, though I had no idea how to explain why, but this should be deeply unsettling to everyone who encounters it:

To make any type of app really good is super hard.

I have yet to see a good to-do list tool.

I'm not kidding. I tried TickTick, Notion, Workflowy ... everything I tried so far feels cumbersome compared to how I would like to handle my To-Do list. The way you create, edit, browse, drag+drop items is not as all as fluid as I imagine it.

So if anyone knows a good To-Do list software (must be web based, so I can use it anywhere without installing something) - let me know!
Personally I use the hammy package in Emacs with the "Flywheel" timer from the examples to get into a flow, these days it's enough to just start it and unless I get distracted by outside forces I keep hammering away at my task(s) while disregarding the timer. In this way the timer itself serves as more of a Pavlovian trigger rather than an actual device with utility by itself.

There are phases of life where it makes sense to prevent preoccupying yourself with romantic relationships (which end up occupying large chunks of your free time), however I believe that long term this is a bad strategy. Focusing on career above all else will not make you happy in the long run unless you define your entire identity as a career professional.

In short bursts this is probably fine (and I followed a similar strategy early in my career) but I am personally happy to have not fallen into the trap of focusing on my career to the detriment of my personal life throughout my entire youth.
Google.com is still the pinnacle of cheap, fast, and relevant search however they are rapidly losing ground to Kagi and others due to junk results. If Kagi was totally free it would rapidly climb up to #1.

Is there a tool that can remove very noisy audio recording of a song using actual song as a reference?

I found a very old audio cassette from my childhood with me and some other kids talking while a song is playing in background. I tried subtracting the song using Audacity but for that to work reference song and recording must align "perfectly" which is very very hard. Not just the timing (which i found can be a problem with cassettes) loudness/frequency distribution must also align perfectly.

Found Smartsubtract https://oxfordwaveresearch.com/products/smartsubtract/ which seems to do exactly the same but it's not available for download.

Is there any (AI even?) tool that might do that? I tried an online AI tool which claimed it can extract voices but it returned back silence. I want to try OpenVino but not sure it will be useful with faint spoken words in a noisy environment with a song.
