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.


Where are you getting the figures for unsheltered participants? The page I linked seems pretty clear: there was a 31% increase in housing for the control group, and a 38% increase for the group that received payments. That's a significant improvement, much more than 1 or 2 points. Especially considering the likelihood that some of the participants in both groups might have no intent to get housing either way.


38% for $1,000/mo vs 31% in the control group seems like a pretty disappointing result to me. Maybe not insignificant, but more lose than win.


Maybe 38% vs 31% saved the city a large amount of money. The question wasn't whether the results disappointed any particular individual. The author's claim is that Denver overstated their results and that turns out not to be true.


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.


That's not entirely accurate since AA has separate databases for books they have as files, and one for books they only know the metadata of. The metadata database comes from various sources and as far as I know is pretty complete.

Black should mostly be sections that have no assigned books


I found some books which are available from dozens of online bookshops but which are not in this visualisation. Perhaps they're not yet in any library that feeds into worldcat.org, though some of them were about five years old.


Did you search by title or ISBN? If you search by title, the search goes through Google Books, which is very incomplete (since I didn't build a search database myself). If you put in an ISBN13 directly, you'll find a lot more books are included (I'd say you can only find 10-30% of books via the Google Books API)

It's a bit misleading I guess the way I added that feature.

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.


Also tastes like kitchen sponge but without the nutrition.


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]...

Its 99 years since Einstein published the paper on the photoelectric effect whith had far-reaching consequences. [1]

And 93 years since the first Solvay Conference. [2]

What's your point? Everything they did, including Einstein's (and everyone else's at the time) quantum mechanics work, was based on continuous space and time variables.


Quantum mechanics does not mean everything is quantized. It got its name because the first predictions of quantum mechanics were quantized energy levels in some example systems, but that does not even mean that all energies are quantized in quantum mechanics. There are many systems you can study where energies are continuous, and many examples where other quantities are continuous in quantum mechanics.
