A few days ago I mentioned my first parser [1], which used regex in the tokenization step, based on studying the parser video by Destroy All Software. I'm glad I learned it that way first, since it takes a lot of the pain out of lexing. I've now built many parsers, including accidentally re-inventing parser combinators when working in Erlang. Two days ago I built another parser that uses regex heavily for tokenization/some parsing steps. I never parse programming languages, so my programs' needs are quite different from the parsers talked about online!

Cultural exports are how NYC became famous, has a city ever became famous without culture? I can't say anything about the quality of Sex and the City since like I said before I've never watched it. I have had it brought it up to me overseas, people like you that have watched it. I can think of a dozen countries that have made iconic scenes in media to spread their culture. I can't name a single scene of modern Chinese living. To the west, pre-revolution and post-revolution China are completely different. All your neighbors have managed to push their modern culture. US culture is on downtrend because they've stopped seeking common ground with their peers, they will deserve what's coming to them.

Well, partial good news, then: we have a secular, pluralistic state that covers at least most of that territory, namely the State of Israel, and the Jews, Christians Muslims and Druze living there assent to peaceful coexistence.

And entirely different matter is the fate of the people who are not citizens of the state of Israel. Where do you hope for them to live (and why)? Surely not in the pluralistic state we just talked about, since peaceful coexistence is far from a mainstream viewpoint among that population, to put it mildly.

A relevant Ask Project video from recent memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grq1Ro9vlyU - note that none of the Palestinians consent to living peacefully with the Jews in one state.
Not necessarily, but yes on average.

Parmigiano Reggiano is more tightly controlled, and has larger total cheese produced (by a fair bit I think).

Very good Grana Padano can be just as good, but there are lots of bulk producers who turn out younger, cheaper cheese, that is yummy, but not as good as aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

FWIW, in the USA in particular, there is quite an industry in fake Parmigiano Reggiano.

There is no standard definition of a shot. Serves in the US will vary wildly, as will serves across Europe.

In Australia, a shot is 30ml (close enough to 1 oz to make no difference) which is exactly one standard drink or 10g of alcohol, assuming straight spirit.

There are some pretty major differences between what Waymo does and what a remote driving service (like the Vegas deployment by Vay mentioned upthread). Imagine that the car has a remote connection to a human while driving and the human misses that another vehicle is about to hit T-bone the taxi. Whose responsibility is it to stop?

With Waymo vehicles, it's the car's responsibility to sense the issue and brake, so we say that the car is driving and the human is a "remote assistant". With Vay, it's the human's responsibility because they are the driver.

This ends up having a lot of meaningful distinctions across the stack, even if it seems like a superficial distinction at first.

One problem with the idea of a “standard drink” is that what people typically get at a bar (eg a pint of beer) is actually a fair bit more than a standard drink. It’s unrelated to a typical pour.

Edinburgh's new town (designed 1776) has some very wide streets. When cars were invented they became handy because two cars could be parked nose to nose across the middle of the street plus the usual curb parking on both sides, still leaving room for four lanes of traffic. Traffic calming and pavement|sidewalk widening measures in recent years have reduced this to one vehicle across the middle, curb parking and one lane each way.
It's not quite as bad as central planning, but it's definitely a big dollop of state aid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_aid), distorting competition.

You may think this is fair, while others disagree. As there's no "world government" arbiter for these kinds of actions, there are only the actions your country takes, and the actions other sovereign countries take in response - for example, all countries in the world could ban import of anything produced by your burgeoning state-aid factories, leaving you with only a domestic market to sell to; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)#Anti-...

Well technically you can't, in the sense that chroot has no idea you're doing it... the magic of binfmt support in the kernel (setup for qemu by the post-install script for qemu-user-static I believe) basically lets you run any architecture's binary that qemu-user-* supports just by trying to execute it natively, it basically just translates the execution of "./other-arch-cmd" into "qemu-user-static ./other-arch-cmd".

I assumed this was a leak, due to the lack of license, and, indeed, a discussion on Reddit says it's a leak (and that the reported version is wrong). https://www.reddit.com/r/IRIX/comments/132hsko/irix_source_c...

Another interesting bit from that discussion:

"I have a copy of an unleaked source in a safe deposit box in an undisclosed credit union in my former home state of VA on an LTO-5 tape. I cannot leak it, as it's off an Origin 300 that was incorrectly wiped and came from a US DoD auction."

If that's true, that seems...very sloppy. I bought some lower end SGI hardware from a government contractor surplus auction years back, and they trashed all the hard drives before they went to auction. They didn't just wipe them. Nothing had drives installed, and they even trashed all the drive caddies, so you had to track down new caddies to get the damn things working.
Streaming cable news is a significant time sink that adds to my anxiety rather than offering any substantial value. Regardless of your political beliefs or the cable news network you prefer, their primary objective is to maintain your engagement and fixation on the TV for ratings.

I made the decision to eliminate cable news from my life, and I’ve found myself much happier in the process.

One thing to note here is that the closure is a costly, credible, verifiable signal of commitment to their principles. Unusual or questionable principles, perhaps - few other Christians feel the need to close on Sunday - but principles nevertheless.

Suppose B&H or Chick-Fil-A suddenly changed their policy to be open, which is easy to verify (just see if you can buy something on that day). What do you think the reaction of their customers would be to this greater convenience and no loss of quality? Would they celebrate? I think the reaction would be highly negative - everyone would panic that they had sold out and the beancounters were now in charge and the quality was going to go downhill while the prices go up.

Precisely because the policy is so economically foolish and is not a marketing stunt (notice no one is clamoring to imitate them even though it's trivial: just close on some day) and would be one of the first things to go under new (ie. normal) management, it proves that they don't care that much about maximizing their profits but other things.

> You never move events around in TAI (the unambiguous storage format) just as you don't go manually flipping bits in an SQLite database.

You actually do. From the point of view of future scheduled events, a event scheduled for 13h00 in a specific timezone is still "13h00 in a specific timezone" even when crazy people on that timezone suddenly declare a new Daylight savings time to start before the event happens. All future "timestamps" are prone to move due to such shenanigans. And you need to keep your timezone DB as updated as possible to update thing as soon as possible, if you don't want users with wrong times on their future events.

If you're not doing something like full rfc9557 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9557 "Internet Extended Date/Time Format (IXDTF)" [iso 8601 local time + as-of-now known timezone offset + IANA timezone] as "timestamps" you're probably truncating important information that will bite you back later if you're doing a calendar/scheduler.

This article is fantastic.

And it pairs well with another article on the front page. [0]

Which I bring up because they disagree on a particular point. And that is how a script without a shebang gets run as a script.

> This is done by registering a set of callback functions, and these callbacks get invoked when the kernel is asked to execute a binary file. The kernel invokes the callbacks on this list, and the first one that claims to recognize the file takes responsibility for getting it properly loaded into memory. If nobody on the list accepts it, then as a last resort the kernel will attempt to treat it as a shell script without a shebang line. And if that doesn't fly, then you'll get that "Exec format error" message described above.

But the article I linked to says the shell actually handles it. And based off of its research (terribly reproduced below), I'm inclined to believe it.

echo echo Hello world > test.sh
chmod +x test.sh
strace ./test.sh
strace sh -c ./test.sh

You'll see the first one errors with `ENOEXEC`, but the second one does not. Also, in my head, I don't know how the kernel would know what shell to choose, or that it should even expect to have access to a shell.

The cohorts are fairly clearly separated into "doesn't drink," "drinks moderately," and "drinks heavily." They have to define them somehow, and "regularly drinks more than one drink a day" seems like a good way to do so.

I'm sure some people are misclassified in both groups. If you're improperly classified because once a week you have two glasses of wine rather than one, I doubt your risk is that much higher. That said, moderate and heavy drinkers saw the same rates.

> The plan is to roll out to 5% of users on the Firefox 138 stable release, ramp up to 50% of users

What an awful idea. How is a web developer supposed to test the website when he and user might have different browser behaviour? It looks like someone read about deployment at Facebook and wanted to implement the same thing without any valid reason. Firefox is not a server-side software and this style of deployment doesn't make much sense.
I haven't really thought about sectioning elements (<section>, <aside>, <nav>, and <article>) and the cool behaviour of a tag like <h1> when these tags are nested.

This reminded me of the story about Charles Proteus Steinmetz diagnosing the problem inside a generator at Henry Ford's auto plant just by listening to it very carefully.

"Ford, whose electrical engineers couldn’t solve some problems they were having with a gigantic generator, called Steinmetz in to the plant. Upon arriving, Steinmetz rejected all assistance and asked only for a notebook, pencil and cot. According to Scott, Steinmetz listened to the generator and scribbled computations on the notepad for two straight days and nights. On the second night, he asked for a ladder, climbed up the generator and made a chalk mark on its side. Then he told Ford’s skeptical engineers to remove a plate at the mark and replace sixteen windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator performed to perfection.

Henry Ford was thrilled until he got an invoice from General Electric in the amount of $10,000. Ford acknowledged Steinmetz’s success but balked at the figure. He asked for an itemized bill.

Steinmetz ... responded personally to Ford’s request with the following:

Making chalk mark on generator $1.

Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Ford paid the bill."

Good. <h1> tag should be <h1> no matter where it is. It shouldn't change; at least not by default. Even better that this change back to the old way will fix a problem for accessibility for screen readers.
Looking at the various conversations involving string interpolation, this characterization is extremely unkind. They've clearly spent a lot more than 5 minutes thinking about this, including writing their own mini-proposals[1].

Are they wrong about this issue? I think they are. There is a big difference in ergonomics between String interpolation and something like fmt.Sprintf, and the performance cost of fmt.Sprintf is non-trivial as well. But I can't say they didn't put any thought into this.

As we've seen multiple times with Go generics and error handling before, their slow progress on correcting serious usability issues with the language stem from the same basic reasons we see with recent Java features: they are just being quite perfectionist about it. And unlike Java, the Go team would not even release an experimental feature unless they feel quite good about it.

It turns out we in fact have tests to determine statistical significance - and the fact that this study was peer reviewed and published means the results were indeed statistically significant!

> We included 1,781 participants (mean age 74.9 ± 12.5 years, mean education 4.8 ± 4.0 years, 49.6% women, and 64.1% White). Compared with participants who never consumed alcohol, moderate (odds ratio [OR] 1.60, 95% CI 1.19–2.15, p = 0.001), heavy (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.50–3.63, p < 0.001), and former heavy (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.41–2.54, p < 0.001) alcohol consumptions were associated with hyaline arteriolosclerosis while only heavy (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.10–2.30, p = 0.012) and former heavy (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.02–1.68, p = 0.029) alcohol consumptions were associated with neurofibrillary tangles. Former heavy drinking was associated with a lower brain mass ratio (β −4.45, 95% CI −8.55 to −0.35, p = 0.033) and worse cognitive abilities (β 1.31, 95% CI 0.54–2.09, p < 0.001). The association between impaired cognitive abilities and alcohol consumption was fully mediated by hyaline arteriolosclerosis (β 0.13, 95% CI 0.02–0.22, p = 0.012).
