London Review of Books articles aren't allowed to discuss the book being reviewed for the first five paragraphs. It's an obscure British law or something.

They used Ink: https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink I've used it myself. It has some rough edges in terms of rendering performance but it's nice overall.

Well within the time period when even minor news was routinely posted to the Internet, so it's searchable. On the other hand I have a really common name.

Absolutely. If I hadn't been assured there would be a lawyer afterwards (he represented us as a group btw), I wouldn't have done it... I strongly recommend that anyone doing civil disobedience join up with an organization which ca

Hmmm. When I was in college, I protested and went to jail multiple times in the US, though I was never convicted (the organization I was with provided for legal representation). I don't believe it has ever damaged my career. I'm c

I took the time to figure out where you took the shots from. You were not kidding about risk, especially for 201 Toland, Jesus Christ.

The North Korean place names for foreign places reflect the native pronunciations, while South Korean place names reflect English pronunciation. Syria is "suria" vs "siria" for example.

Large scale collective farming I guess. The US' farmland in the central states was also organized by a centralized process (homestead act) leading to similar geographic patterns on a bigger scale. https://maps.app.goo.gl&#x2

Not sure why this is downvoted. Kim Jong-un declared that reunification is no longer a goal in 2024 and tore down the Reunification Arch.

Not sure exactly how obvious it is to most Americans, but the Navajo reservation is extremely poor by American standards. When I went there, the local roads were all dirt and the houses seemed to have no electricity.

When I lived in Chicago, no one was silent about Chicago's violence. It was widely acknowledged as one of the city's biggest problems and there was a ton of effort put into stopping it by the government and nonprofits, including g

Question for Arabic speakers: The Arabic transliterations don't have vowel markings (harakat). So how are you able to reproduce the pronunciation? Are you able to just guess and get it right most of the time? Same with place names that

If it's Krasznahorkai we're talking about, one sentence could be very long indeed.

It's a lot of trouble and hard to get right, but you can make it at home! The ingredients are easy to buy online. It keeps in the fridge for a long time, though after a while it stops tasting like makgeolli; the clear sediment-free lay

If you like Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, you owe it to yourself to read this deep dive into the philosophy behind it. https://paeantosmac.wordpress.com/

It has been a long time and my memory is based on hearing about it rather than using it, but I believe there was a notion of a rider's "home" datacenter (based on where they signed up from), and there was some complexity from

Nice write-up. What's the deal with the transcription of the place names into Devanagari?

I worked at Uber a long time ago - there was some amount of overcomplicated engineering but you genuinely can't completely shard by city because a big part of Uber's value proposition is that you fly into a city for the first time

In the 1600s, English settlers and native Americans probably had similar standards of living (i.e. a bit above subsistence). Maybe a 2x difference which I'm not sure would have been in favor of the Europeans, given that the natives had

Glad to see that the author is highlighting verification as the important factor in design productivity. We at Silogy [0] are directly targeting the problem of verification productivity using AI agents for test debugging. We analyze code (R

The Antmicro team are doing good work with making Verilator support SystemVerilog / UVM tests but from what I understand it's not complete yet. I've also heard from various people that although Verilator is generally fast, it

I don't know, Caravaggio killed a guy. I wouldn't want to be friends with this guy but it seems like he's a typical artist. Better than having him where he can really hurt someone, anyway.

I want to plug one of her lesser known books, Always Coming Home. It's set among a tribe of people living in the Bay Area way, way after some apocalypse has erased the memory of our civilization. Much of the book is reports from an ant

I really appreciate the feedback: these are all very valid points. Bash is just an example; most people should make the test rule call the simulator executable directly or via a thin wrapper script. MyHDL is interesting too. Admittedly this

Hey, that sounds really cool, and also sounds like it was a lot of work! As for point 2, we are planning at some point on making everything accessible via API and releasing a CLI, so a VSCode extension should definitely be possible.

CI is a core component of our product, but it's also a building block that we're building lots of DV-specific features on top of. In fact, one of those features is a build wrapper sort of like Make/Bazel for compiling stimuli

Thanks for your thoughts! We are indeed planning to add support for other vendor tools, including the Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens simulators. Cost for cloud vs on prem is very specific to design complexity. For the designs we're wor
