Heard it recently, did not know who to attribute it to. "when you mix science and politics, you get politics" -- John Barry

"When science mixes with politics, what you mostly get is politics."

In terms of weighing risk, find one IRB anywhere which would have approved an experiment to mask all of the students in a school district for a year.

This has me reading the updated pdf discussing xv6 (riscv, 2021): https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.S081/2021/xv6/book-riscv-rev2.p... So far, it is saying all the things that need to be said once, once, and very

I find out-of-date used Chromebooks are available for $50.

At one time I had the thought that, in coding, one should note assumptions in a searchable and documentable way. Then, others later could audit for assumptions which no longer applied, without needing to go deep into the code.

Okay, so NEST is 64-bit, apparently -- 64-bit IOT. I can see 32-bit at Fitbit.

First part there I was suggesting two years ago. Very glad to see this as almost common sentiment in the thread today. Still hoping that Fuscia will have some advantages in legacy support, but personally not buying any Android phone.

Been there with 30-year support-life (HC11 FTW!). Do you see any prospects in terms of Fuscia making long-term support perhaps a matter of just keeping legacy drivers within the available mix?

Walter, watch out. You want to talk about dumbing down? California is considering a new law in which every computer language must have a keyword 'quine' which prints 'quine' . And none of this looking under the hood stuf

Just had a surgery. Was joking with the nurse that they will study the exact temperature for a warm air-blanket and every other variable, but will never study how much sleep a resident needs to get.

Suspicious -- just when Google is announcing success with qbits and quantum computing.

GPT-3 says: In mathematics, there is a search for a satire-to-satire mapping function with the longest cycle length. These are called N-quines.

Does this mean every binary file is now a derivative work?

Also, for years I have had the phrase "open source washing machine" in my head. Finally duck-searched upon seeing this thread. A ton of existing work/proposals.

Not familiar with Frame Innovation, but you might be interested in Brian Cantrell talking about system architecture. He emphasizes that one can only prioritize so many values at a time, which will tend to drive (and presumably focus) archit

Kept reading the thread to see if anyone would mention conceptual blending. The Way We Think is not a book I will forget.

Chrome reportedly uses wkhtmltopdf to print to pdf. A comment on StackOverflow also said the Chrome team would like to deprecrate command-line/headless print to pdf it they could. I agree they should not simply make Chrome a shell over

Interesting. I assume the resulting files are binary compatible [identical?] to the defining implementation in C.

Provocatively, imagine if had been one Emacs per child. With EXWM. (Actually, I was recently surprised to find that after an apt-get install on a chromebook, Emacs started up in full gui mode.)

When programming, I will often have four or five general steps ahead jotted down. If a sub-problem comes up, I might literally push the first sheet down on the stack, "open up" a new sheet, and then pop that off the stack when don

Hence RSO: Resume Search Optimization

Indeed, I first heard this advice in the form: Don't submit a resume until you are sure you have the job.

New opportunities: Just as "medical coder" is now a profession (related to insurance filing), we could have "resume coder" as a profession.

I would add: make the line protocol coming in transmit key-up and key-down events -- not only full keypress events. Thus let modifiers be handled on the receiving end. Or at least as one perhaps-modal option.

So no domain squatting in response to a first phase of search here?

Ironically, perhaps Rust in this sense should be compared to Basalt -- as in the projected longevity difference between Basalt-rebar and iron-rebar.

Make this part of an early-stage bootloader? On 5 sec timeout proceed to normal boot?
