I can't think of a time when I've been working on a project and wished I had a 1/2" drive ratchet, a short pry bar, and a hammer but only had space in the tool bag for one of them.

I don't know anything about the product itself, but based on your description I wish I had something like that in the van when i was in a band and we were going on road trips in a cheap van. Especially if they somehow included a hacksaw.
The ROMs are one Google search away, on a public Github.
I’m not. You’re making a different argument for why webassembly is relevant than the post to which I originally responded.
Are there other reasons you'd continue to take it?
Hard evidence for what? I've tried them all, I tried to like them, and it just butchered the directional cues for me, and also made the sound come out really oddly (some added excessive reverb, others just fucked the EQ all to hell).

Scientific theory doesn't mean shit if the resulting product doesn't work.

And I've heard working audio cues on natural audio, but as I said, they've all been binaural recordings done with dummy heads, so you can't claim its just something defective with my hearing.

I want headphone downmixing of 5.1 surround to work, but I've yet to find one that works without butchering the audio.
Bashing Nature is almost cliche at this point, anyone in the research world knows about the issues there by now. However this is comical:
"...in which he describes the rejection by the journal Nature of an obituary he was asked to write"
I mean, who in their right mind rejects an obit that they asked someone to write? The power that the Nature editors wield is awesome in the ivory tower, and it has gone to their heads.

That said, I was a mathy undergrad and now am in a neuro PhD program. The gulf is large indeed. I think the largest difference for me is the relation to science in general. As a mathy person, we are all about the predictive powers of science. I do A, then B happens at time T. In bio, it is not that at all. Bio is an observational science. I see A, then I see B at time T. Sure, you can make predictions, but what these events all have to do with each other is almost impossible to predict in a living organism/environment. As such, when bio people hear Partial Differential Equation, they go running for the hills.

Case in point, PDEs are no big deal for me, I took an entire class on them. But in one class we had to read a paper on using PDEs to model genetic interactions with a sugar input and then write up 1 single page on it (with some guidelines). Oh man, the riot! 59 of the other people in the class were up in arms about this. They tried to get the points on the paper halved, then eliminated, then the teacher to rescind the assignment, which they were all successful in doing. Then the non-stop complaining ensued for weeks in the halls. All because we had to read a paper with PDEs written out in it. My lord.

On the plus side, it leaves a huge hole that none of the bio people want to crawl down. This is a positive for mathy people, as the bio is ore memorization than anything. The bio field is rocking and rolling already from the intrusion that mathy people are mediating. Now, if your lab does not have a CS major in it, you are going to fall behind. The idea that quants and big data people are necessary is just starting to grab hold of the bio world. Now is a good time to get into grad school in the bio field if you have a math background as they are just now starting to realize they need you. It's just hard to get through classes though.
In France they used to have 2+1 roads and it was a major cause of carnage. It's mostly an attitude thing.
If it doesn't work right then it's inconvenient to have to crawl underneath the car to figure out what's going wrong. Also you lie down on the garage floor and it impales you, or it fails to retract and you trip over it and die or...

...plus you'd have to dig up your garage floor or at least put some sort of bolts into it to hold the thing in place. No, a roving tentacle works much better, and I can't believe I wrote that either.

It would be interesting if they could stitch the video together so we could see the play from any angle. Kind of like using street view and microsoft photosynth to create something like the latest star-trek khan bombing photo.
He's clearly thought about it, he's just saying that due to (I assume) his military background and PTSD, the most likely outcome would be that he kills one of them.

It's very hard to not react in a particular way when it's what was ingrained as your method of survival in the field.
So, a local ISP has recently released 10Gbit fiber to home (for a tiny subset of the City).

Would any consumers be able to use this, or would it only make sense with a commercial switch (probably for a shared connection for an apartment complex or similar?)?

What would I have to do at home to take advantage of it?
We can give them negative reward (decrement some counter in the machine memory). The machine will want to avoid that!
> We have forgotten why we used cryptocurrencies in the first place. The original promise of cryptocurrency was to become independent from banks.

Who is “we”? Outside of criminal enterprises, no one has ever used Bitcoin for anything other than speculation and the occasional novelty purchase.
Sorry for the late response. This was on Windows yes but it must've been fixed by now as I very rarely reset profiles and haven't experienced this since.
I'll keep your offer in the back of my head tho, thanks!
I don't think you understand what I am saying.

1. I'm not arguing that the fed is artificially inflating inflation. I'm saying that if they want to suppress the appearance of inflation in the short term so that they can keep rates low and prevent any panic about the dollar until they can react to it, they have some ability to do so because of the opaqueness of the data.

2. Bias in a signal doesn't have to be persistent to be problematic. The average reading does not have to be biased in the long term for there to be a problem with the spot reading. That's a major reason why more granular data is always better.

3. I'm not stating any conspiracy theory. The Fed is driven by data. Biases in data affect data-driven decisions. CPI includes various inputs, not all of which are experiencing the same demand. CPI is an agglomerate reference.
By „fraction” you mean a quarter of revenue - Coinbase having around 1B in revenue, Nasdaq having 4B in 2020.

Then, Coinbase grew 300% in the last year, Nasdaq just 33%.

It’s like asking how Amazon can be worth more than Barnes and Noble in 2004 (or what year that was).
As a former customer of mtgox and someone who hung out in #bitcoin-otc on freenode half a decade ago: they're still better than most of the exchanges.
After closing a funding round led by a16z, and doubling the size of the team, Optimism will be "launching arbitrary contract deployment on mainnet in March".
The counterargument is that a bug is enough a function of its context that the older they get, the less likely they are to still be relevant or accurately documented. Having a bug on the list isn't enough - it needs to be periodically reviewed, kept up to date, prioritized, etc.

Sometimes the overhead of that maintenance work isn't worth it, particularly for a bug that's been explicitly categorized as 'low priority' for years. The fact that a bug can stay at low priority for years is a reasonable sign that it's not too important to spend a lot of effort either tracking it or fixing it.

With that point of view, closing the defect as unfixed and explaining the reasons why is in some ways more honest than just keeping the thing open ad infinitum just because somebody, at some point in the past, thought there was an issue. And if closing it was wrong, you'll run into the issue again, and can either re-open the defect or submit a new defect with a back link to the original, and an explanation of what's changed that's brought it back into relevance.

(Personally speaking in the last few months, I've gotten several good solutions from reading the commentary on defects that were closed as unfixed.)
I sadly do this too. Mostly as a time saver. Though many of the articles are not long on here, I find that the comments provide a better and briefer summary, with rebuttals and secondments built in.

I said sadly, as others state, the comments here prime me to read an article differently and influence me. I do not like that, I am human and anchoring is a real thing for us all [1].

In general, I think HN has a good enough and small enough reader base to be able to trust the comments; much like reddit was back about 5 years ago and /. about 12 years ago. Alas, all good things will come to an end. If/when that happens, don't trust the comments again and move on to whatever is next.

He did, but not from you, since you don't know what Aikah actually meant. Regardless, your freakout is unseemly.
Then maybe an ad-hoc time-critical gathering shouldn't be on freeways in certain locations (sincere, not trying to beg-the-question)? Gathering in a location that presents a danger to themselves seems like the ideal situation where we need to examine it closely and not make blanket statements as to whether it is okay or not.

I'm not really espousing a particular position, just that we should think critically about this and realize that the act of using a freeway for a parade and for protest aren't always all that similar (but they may be, it really depends).
It'll never happen. It'll be perceived as yet another tax break for the rich/well-off. :(

It seems more like:

1. Delve Labs has commercial scanners which bundle but do not link with WPScan.

2. WPScan, previously licensed under the GPL, introduce a commercialization clause in addition to the GPL.

Side Note. WPScan may not have the right to do this because they do not use copyright attribution. Without this they need permission from everyone who has ever contributed code to their project.

3. WPScan demand money from Delve Labs.

4. Delve Labs make a fork from a point before WPScan introduced the commercialization clause. They keep this version licensed under the GPL.
I am not sure there is a universal value for "what people think" about pumped hydro energy density, but your numbers are quite far of: 3TWh at 1000m pump height would require 3e6Wh3600s/h/(1000m1000kg/m3*9.8m/s2) = 1.1e6m3, so a waist-high lake of one square kilometer would do.

For what it is worth, in Europe, Switzerland is doing a lot of pumped hydro powered by surplus French nuclear power in the summer time. Norway has huge amounts of hydro and only pumps a little, but it doesn't matter much: The Scandinavian grid is so well connected, that hydro will ramp down when power is available elsewhere, in effect providing on-demand provider for the whole region.
I'm going to go as far as saying you just don't get it. Here is Bill Gates, successfully running global public health programs and is someone who actually does care ... then there's idiots like you criticizing him because he's "wealthy".
Re: Binding of Isaac, it's not so much that it's dark and disturbing. There's plenty of that in ascii roguelikes of you know where to look. My issues with BoI:

- I could plainly tell how hard it was trying to be edgy

- the gameplay just wasn't fun for me
You don't need all those roles to have a successful startup.
i convinced myself that commits are snapshots by doing the following:

# generate a 100M text file
base64 -b 76 /dev/urandom | head -c 100000000 > file.txt
git add . && git commit -m "1"

# remove first line and add a new line to bottom
tail -n +2 file.txt > tmp && rm file.txt && mv tmp file.txt && base64 -b 76 /dev/urandom | head -n 1 >> file.txt
git add . && git commit -m "2"

# repeat
tail -n +2 file.txt > tmp && rm file.txt && mv tmp file.txt && base64 -b 76 /dev/urandom | head -n 1 >> file.txt
git add . && git commit -m "3"
...

du -sh . # a very big folder

each of the commits are almost 80M big in the git folder. if you run `du -h .` you can see how git stores each object individually (80M big)
Fwiw I'm pretty sure that POSIX_ME_HARDER wasn't an RMS-ism. RMS invented the "-pedantic" gcc flag (to enable some warning messages that he felt weren't necessary) and that always got a laugh when he talked about it and that was more his style. POSIX_ME_HARDER was more of a signature style of one of the other devs at the time, rather than of RMS.

I didn't say it can't be changed, just that it's very very difficult.

> but the key part is that it's used by some to "give up" and assume that being obese is "natural"

You are not born with any particular set point, you gain one based on your life (although there are tendencies). But once you have it, it's very hard to change.

I think of it like hysteresis - you need to work extra hard to get past it, but then it settles on a new value.

> I'm happy to be proven wrong

My personal experience of trying to change my weight for a full year, all sorts of methods, and eventually gave up for a while and one day weighed myself just to see how I ended up: The exact, to the 1/5 of a pound! weight I started with a year ago!

So I'm quite certain it's real, and yes, I'm giving up - somewhat.
I suspect that this approach gets far more scalable with larger reserves due to transaction fees. It's probably also safer/easier to risk clients' capital than your own.
Slightly misleading on the source of the profits. It's important to read this section of the article:

"But the company's real profits are derived from a lesser-known side of the business: property development."

and

"Here's how it works: MTR enjoys a special relationship with the Hong Kong government, which is also its majority shareholder. The government provides land -- at no cost -- for use by the train operator, and MTR is then allowed to develop the areas above and around its stations."

So the government loans out land (which is crazy expensive in hong kong) for free and the MTR gets to keep the profits for leasing out that land via malls, etc.
Without looking at the details, this work probably still uses something like that, under the hood. In mainline sbcl, dumping an executable with save-lisp-and-die will create an executable that depends on a few dynamic libraries and, if you use the ffi, whatever dynamic libraries you're using though that. With the already existing static-program-op in one of the cffi packages (grovel, maybe?), you can get an executable with all of the libraries linked through the cffi linked in staticly (you won't need those .so files when you distribute the executable) but it will still need a few dynamic libraries when run. Glibc and libm at least, I think.

As I understand it, this work is attempting to remove even those last few dynamic dependencies so you can distribute the dumped executable and be done.

So, better if you want simpler distribution at the cost of larger executables.
>should you play poker? Try to solve that with rational thinking

Rational thoughts:

- I've played with these guys before and I know I'm more likely to win than lose. So it would be in my favor to play.

- I've lost more than I've won in the past, but the bets are small and these people are fun to hang around so as long as I don't come out more than $20 behind tonight, its worth the time

- I've lost more than I've won in the past and I have no connections with these people. I shouldn't play

- There's no money involved in this match, and I enjoy poker. So why not?

Irrational thoughts:

- I've lost more than I've won in the past, so I'm sure to win this time so the "luck" in the universe evens out

- Some sort of fortune told me I'd have good luck today, so it would be stupid not to play

- Gambling has put me in severe debt in the past, but I'm just going to push that negative thought out of my mind since its unpleasant to think about. Let's play
This isn't just SV. I'd argue that it arose from academia, and slowly crept into SV from that. I see it in the media and most large companies with a powerful HR department.
> I can only assume that means the dissolution of the government

If I look at historic chart of the market, it goes back to around 1970, because that is the last time that the monetary system failed and needed to be reset.

While I am certainly on board with the idea that the dissolution of governments is possible; there are a wide range of possibilities if the US sacrifices the dollar. Currency collapses happens regularly in the grand scheme of things - but the same can be said about brutal wars.

There are a lot of potential home runs in the current batch IMO - medical startups, etc. If someone like Stripe faces too much competition (as I'm certain Instacart will), I think (2) is his best option. Most of the rest of those names don't scream megacorp to me, but then I imagine Sam is privy to the interesting future plans of all of them.
That is motivational, but inaccurate.
It sounds to me like you've redefined 'consensual' to make your philosophy produce the results you want.

Both transactions were consentual and noncoercive. There were no threats of violence. An adult business owner signed a contract for services which were provided exactly as specified. The customer didn't have to agree to the first, poorly negotiated contract. And they don't have to pay extra for the extra services later on - it's entirely their choice.

It's no more extortion than if you need a new ink cartridge for your printer and you find they're expensive.

I put it to you that the situation I've outlined is unethical, even though it's consensual and non-coercive.
Perhaps he's refuting the claim that one bad apple will spoil the bunch :P
Wow, he really had to pile a lot on that doctor to make people feel sorry for him. College loans, mortgage, and 3 grandparents' nursing homes. Plus, his parents and his wife's parents also need support.

It's a good thing normal people never end up in that situation! If he wasn't rich, he couldn't afford it. Wait... I think they do!

He has a good point, but his analogy completely obliterates it. Unfortunately, he acts like we've never heard of the middle class and that he's delivering us news that they exist. They have been part of every tax discussion I've heard in the last few years. It's not news.

There is a lot to digest in that article. My gut tells me to stick with jQuery plug-ins for consistency, but he seems to lean to the mix and match side of things. Any opinions on that from the folks here?
He wants to get his money's worth, so he uses all of the colors.
It is available freely (free as in beer), but it's not an open source language (free as in freedom), which is the free I was referring to. Sorry about that ambiguity.
I'm sure the legal issue could be circumvented by having the logs 'leaked'.
I imagine it's simply to put a stake in the ground. The exact number (2 or 4 or 5, etc.) is not important. Three years is long enough that it can probably include ramping up time, pivots, mistakes, tuning, etc. while not being so long that he's going to be an old man and/or unable to enjoy it, or have follow-on goals be pushed out too far.

Regardless, one year is unrealistically too short. Twenty years is depressing. So pick something in between.
Steps:

1. Learn to come up with your own ideas.

2. ...

3. Profit!
All of this rhetoric is completely besides the point as several studies show. Even in West Virginia, the most coal-heavy energy market in America, pure electric vehicles today produce less greenhouse gases than the average gasoline vehicle due to the efficiency of electric motors and the use of surplus offpeak energy. In almost all markets, it beats a Toyota Prius.

The title. People have their own opinions of why saying 1. Be poor 2. ???? 3. Be rich. Is counterproductive to helping other replicate their success.

Other people read the story and are inspired by the title and so they feel a connection with it.

I think you didn't get the point of jbjohns post. You're just restating his message (more clearly, though). Did you maybe overlook the 'hamstrung' and the 'why not give us an "assembler" option' at the end?

Shouldn't be too hard. The wmctrl package, for example, supports a whole bunch of different window managers.
I left Amazon 9 months ago, after working there for 8.5 years. My total comp was over $500K when I left, which made it both easy (allowed me to save money) and hard to leave (I left about $1M of granted RSUs+Salary for 2019-2020 on the table).

At one point, I realized that a career as a full-time employee in at a "high-stress" employer is not the ideal one for me. I'm working for myself right now, but if one day I needed to go get a full-time job again, I would almost certainly not go to big tech again. I'd rather get paid a fifth of what I was doing, but do something that leaves me with some energy after I put in a day's work. My compensation and status growth were not conducive to increased satisfaction. I wrote more about my reasoning here: https://medium.com/@dvassallo/only-intrinsic-motivation-last...
