When Wikipedia first came out, there was a big debate about articles on people: should it be inclusive (anybody with minor accomplishments gets in) or should there be some threshold to be met? Ultimately, it was decided that if the perception was that the person involved was to become notable principally by having a WP page, then they did not qualify. WP did not want to be used as a means of getting attention/traction/credibility. I like that criterion and I think it’s reasonable to feel that Odin does not meet it…yet.

2/3 of policies sold in California are assigned to the California Earthquake Authority (CEA), which is a semi-private/semi-public corporation that carries the principal risk. It was formed in 1994, when many private insurers discontinued earthquake insurance after the Northridge quake.

Insurance agencies serve primarily as vendors, customer service, etc., but the risk is carried by the CEA. The remaining 1/3 of policies are carried by a few private insurers who still underwrite policies.

In theory, that system should prevent insolvency. Remember that California is a huge state and even a very strong earthquake would still have fairly localized damage. For example, the 1906 earthquake (Richter 8.0) that levelled San Francisco did comparatively little damage to Petaluma, a city 40 miles to the north.

Alas, not. Most policies in California have a 15% deductible. That’s 15% of the insured value of your home. So for nearly all houses, a $25K bill is not covered. California policies are and have always been to cover catastrophic damage.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

The publisher was generally familiar with Beethoven’s writing and conventions. He’d prepare galleys that Beethoven would proof (and frequently edit). A substantial part of Beethoven’s known correspondence concerns corrections to galleys (and managing payments).

Their line of POWER chips are used in their mainframes

What the Brexit vote demonstrated IMHO is that you should not make profound systemic changes based on 50% + 1 vote. You really need a super-majority, otherwise the country is at the mercy of any campaign or latest fashion. This vote is not like electing a new PM, as it caused changes that will ripple across generations and dozens of PMs. Such changes should require a true mandate--which Brexit's 51.9% was not.

Pshaw! Similar behavior by Oracle has not diminished its footprint nor its sales.

Everything the author complains about occurred in the dot-com bubble as well. His view that until 2007 founders were lovable nerds is completely off-base. In Silicon Valley, the same dynamics of start-ups chasing money, then getting it and proclaiming their genius, as they were “going to change the world” happened in 2000 as in similar ways today. The popping of the internet bubble brought back a lot of humility.

Take this difficulty and make the desired sound piano and put the whole thing into 1960s technology and you can see why recording studios were never able to remove Glenn Gould's humming from his recordings.

So, it is an ad.

That readability is the upside of COBOL’s oft-assailed verbosity.

One additional benefit of Fastmail is fast, helpful tech support. The few times i’ve needed them, they’ve answered quickly and given me what i needed in the first response.

Looking at the suggestions for self-hosting here and in other threads, I wonder why self-hosting Fossil is not more widely done. From the comments I’ve seen from its users, it seems to work quite well.

A JVM written exclusively in go. Now, 5000+ commits into the project.

Yes, they’re allowed to make changes and you can either accept them (the matter being discussed here) or refuse them. But you do need to be given the option.

Not to mention the monetary costs of defense

Not sure I understand what you mean by "scientific." If you mean exactly reproducible, then almost nothing in athletics fits that definition. Every record in baseball, football, etc. would fail that definition.

And the only place this appears on ESPN is if you click on "Olympics," which has nothing to do with this race. Where coverage should be: on the home page.

The actual quote, both from the movie and IRL is: "The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only."

I have the hard copy of this edition and it does contain some curious things.

For example, if you look up "boiling." You might expect to read about what happens to a liquid when it's heated to a certain temperature, or perhaps a way of cooking foods, or sterilizing equipment. But the entry covers none of those. Instead, the only entry for boiling describes a punishment for persons convicting of poisoning who were, in England, dipped into a large cauldron of boiling water.

And, in the ways that violence and torture were wantonly reveled in centuries ago, they wouldn't just submerge the criminal and let him die there. Instead, they would lower him into the boiling water for a while and then pull him out. They'd repeat the process until eventually they finally killed him. That is the EB 11 ed entry for boiling. Yow!

And let’s not get started on it’s vs. its-—a distinction that now seems irretrievably nerfed

The models test roughly equal on benchmarks, with generally small differences in their scores. So, it’s reasonable to choose the model based on other criteria. In my case, I’d switch to any vendor that had a decent plugin for JetBrains.

While I don't share your condemnation, I do share your critique of the design. When I tried Notion--really wanting to like it--I could find essentially zero documentation about how to do use those numerous features. After wasting a ton of time trying to get a document template I wanted, I gave up and went back to simpler tools.

The few times I've needed support, Fastmail has responded nearly immediately with the exact info I needed. So Moz would need to demonstrate excellence in customer service before I would consider any migration.

(I know that doesn't directly answer your question, but it does articulate a necessary pre-condition, and one that is hard for businesses entering a new line of service to deliver--although not impossible, of course.)

Jacobin[0] a JVM written in entirely in go. While we still have a way to go to get to feature parity for Java 21, we can sit back and watch the bytecode instructions fly by as they execute, which is something you can't do with the JDK due to the HotSpot JVM's architecture and the fact that it's written in both Java and C++.

We just crossed 5,000 commits. Also, we take testing very seriously: our test code base is presently 160% the size of our production code.

I can see switching from gmail, but it would have to be really compelling to get me to switch from Fastmail.

That is an interesting project, which i have been following for a while. Unfortunately, progress has slowed a lot recently. I hope development picks up…and that the author chooses a different name for the language.
