And with LLM Support: OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok and local LLM models using Ollama.

Back in the day, when business computing emerged (COBOL, Mainframes...), it appear the distinction between systems analysts and programmers. Analyst understand business needs, programmers implemented those specs in code.

Years later, the industry evolved to integrate both roles, and new methodologies and new roles appear.

Now humans write specs, and AI agents write code. Role separation is a principle of labor division since Plato.

Results for Group A (1000$/m) closely resemble results for control Group C(50$/m). Metrics like % of Unsheltered participants, change in full-time employment, % of participans in a house they rent or own... have a diference of 1 or 2 points.

Thats the point of the author, those are minimal variances, and insuficient to claim inpact due to basic income.

Personal opinion. The study itself exert a nontrivial influence on participants. The act of being engaged, regular check-ins... affect positively. Their lives improve independent of the financial component because they are part of the study, not because of the amount of money in the procedure.

I was surprised when the 64bit fork appears in github.

The OpenLook 64bit fork is available at [1], it has 64bit & X11R7 patches. It has a miriad of changes related to ids sizes, %ul, function casts, and a migration from X11R4 to X11R7.

Sadly, if a legacy applications is old enough to be linked to OpenLook, it surelly require adaptation. They need their own migration to transition to 64 bits and X11R7. This openlook fork is the start of the journey to resurect them.

I usually go with the FOSS https://pgmodeler.io

Its feature-rich, albeit focused on Postgres. And it's ability to compare database schemas makes updating and applying diffs much easier.

The dataset consists of books from the Anna Archive, each identified by an ISBN. The ISBNs and titles are extracted from datasets [1], which include magazines and books primarily in Chinese, English, and French.

Example: Germany publishes five times more books than the Netherlands [2], and Spain publishes twice as many books as the Netherlands. However, in visualizations, Germany appears similar to the Netherlands, while Spain and Mexico do not aligned with the high-level labels [3].

Impressive presentation.

Note: The presentation reflects the contents of Anna's archive exclusively, rather than the entire ISBN catalog. There is a discernible bias towards a limited range of languages, due to Anna's collection bias to those languages. The sections marked in black represent the missing entries in the archive.

TLDR;

The Chorleywood bread process is a method of dough production to make yeasted bread quickly, producing a soft loaf. It allows the dough to be made with lower-protein wheat and it uses more yeast, added fats, chemicals.

80% of all the bread made in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and India, use the process.

Maybe you are asking about TeamWare [1]. It was the Sun Microsystems VCS based on SCCS and using NFS.

There exists an abundance of resources related to TeamWare. From online documentation [2], to patents [3]...

The 8088 has a external 8 bits bus. The performance improvement hardware 16 bits ALU is neglected by the slower memory access.

And that memory access was also the reason a 6502 carefully programmed will have better performance than a 8088 with 5x the clock speed. The first 256 bytes (0 pages) had better access performance.

1. Servers

2. Better net throughput & lower CPU usage & ZFS. Y also really love the release eng cycle and release notes.

3. Using FreeBSD since 2001. Some performance test back then, better documentation...

4. A solution similar to docker.

5. ZFS

"While the White House order isn’t currently stifling startups and open source, it seems to be a step in that direction"

it starts 1958 because it changes the source [1]. Before 1958 law dome & ice cores. After 1958 air measurements at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii.

For those wondering why there is zig zag in the plot after 1958. The data source changed at that date [1].

  * 1000 - 1958: Historical CO2 record from the Law Dome DE08, DE08-2, and DSS ice cores

  * 1958 - Today: in situ air measurements at Mauna Loa, Observatory, Hawaii.

The bureaucracy is a well-oiled machine on its own. It has a self-perpetuating nature, following its own set of survival rules, just like the principles of evolution by Darwin.

There's a classic book called "The Bureaucratic Phenomenon" that delves into this very phenomenon. Interestingly, middle management doesn't exactly boost the value of the products or outputs, but it keeps growing to cater to its internal demands and desires.

A starting point.... Look for "Status: Pivoted beyond recognition"

Cool

but is astonishing how expensive is the connectivity in other countries.

>> Verizon Gateway sitting on top of the rack. I get pretty good signal here and get the rated speed, of around 300Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up. This costs $50/mo.

There are offers [0] in the EU of 10Gbps / 25 Euros/mo.

I'd love to hear more about your side projects if you wouldn't mind.

I use it for data transformation, cleanup and enrichment. (TXT, CSV, Json, XML, database) to (TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, database).

Speed up of 30x - 40x. The highest speedup on those that require logic in the transformation. (lot of function calls, numerical operations and dictionary lookups).

This article reveals how Scientific American has declined over time.

It has become a mere shadow of its former self, resorting to sensationalism for online engagement.

I understand the need for the magazine to cater to an audience, but how was this article even approved? It lacks specifics, relies on common knowledge, lacks relevant studies or investigations. It's nothing but clickbait.

Paraphrasing Greenspun's tenth rule [1]

Any sufficiently complicated library management system contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, inconsistent implementation of half of the Dewey System [2].
