It should be noted that the total ordering that Lamport clocks provide is fairly artificial (in fact it's best to say that there is no natural total ordering of events in a distributed system).

Agreed, though you do see them a lot in CRDTs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_.... Just about every non-trivial CRDT has something akin to a logical clock embedded inside it.
I have a workflow for books that is quite efficient, using the Mac app Delicious Library, a Microvision RoV Bluetooth scanner supported by the app (sadly discontined):

Sadly I don't have anything that streamlined for groceries.
Meditation is not immune to needing the scientific approach. We should label which types work and which don't work, so we can understand it and make it better.

That's not stopping you from doing whatever you want.
That’s true but I know people who sell and buy data, and it comes at different price tiers and quality.

Systems and Network engineer with decades of operational experience looking for interesting problems to solve. I like lowering AWS bills. Fine with IC or Management and I can do both at the same time. Currently contracting and open to more of that or joining the right team.
'Correct' is different for each body type. I started running one day a week barefoot (3-6 miles along the beach) and this greatly strengthened my ankles and improved my running form. I think good form comes naturally when running barefoot. I still wear shoes for longer road runs but I now wear zero-drop shoes from Altra with good results. A bit of background - I started running 3 years ago and have built up to running two full marathons (LA and Chicago), lost 40lbs along the way and now running is like a meditation for me 4 mornings per week.
The OP links to a page that includes this.
I've noticed that discussions about the thermodynamics of weight loss almost invariably neglect to mention environmental temperature, focussing instead on diet and exercise. The prevailing paradigm is that exercise "burns calories". But if you look at the actual numbers, the number of calories burned is fairly insignificant compared to basal metabolism; as the article states, running an entire marathon only burns about 2500 calories.
Thanks! I think that comment is actually from before the computeTax function was fully implemented. If you fill out W2 and spouse information on the website the correct tax rate should be calculated in the printed 1040 form
I was wondering what was happening with it. I thought something had gone very wrong because of the traffic spike it got off going viral. Very strange thing to do.
>> "Solarwinds hasnt offered any remediation or major changes in their development, leadership or code."

Not accurate re: leadership. A new CEO just started in January, and their CTO was either terminated or he left just after the hack news.
As an avid mountain biker, I can tell you that the high-end for mountain bikes is definitely not titanium, it's carbon fibre. Titanium mountain bikes are rare, probably even more than road bikes.

Every major brand uses carbon fiber in their high end bikes.

> what will replace the media as an arbiter of independent information and truth

Lament of the Catholic Church during the Reformation: Who will replace the Church as the arbiter of truth.

Maybe it is best that we not have people and institutions that claim to be the “arbiter of truth.”

Anything that gives power to the people is messy. Democracy is messy and the elite wondered how people would be able to rule themselves without an absolute monarch telling them what to do. Now we have the journalistic elite wondering how the people will be able to figure out truth without the journalist high priesthood telling them what truth is.
The only time it does get reported widely is if the victim is famous. - Local papers usually report it. The one we get has a almost a page for it sometimes.
According to this article[1] you can equip them with cold weather packages that will allow them to operate down to -30C. I am guessing they wouldn't install those packages on turbines in Texas

Hardware is expensive to iterate on. ML research is already expensive, without worrying about hardware. I expect we'll see plenty of additional attempts in robotics, regardless of what makes economic sense for OpenAI in the short run.

"No statistical model can escape this trap"

Your claim here is that intelligence requires innovation?

AlphaGo certainly went beyond the bounds of the existing training data. Likewise, zero-shot learning (as we see in Dall-e 2) demonstrates the ability to combine concepts combinatorially, rather than drawing from raw prior observation.

I still wouldn't call this intelligence, but it's yet another indication of how the goalposts move in the conversation. (Never mind that we typically at this point ask to satisfy indicators which most humans could not satisfy...)

For just about any simple indicator of intelligence there's been a concerted effort to make a neutral network with that property. And most of them have had a degree of success, moreso over time. The 'confusion' comes because these simple indicators have repeatedly been set and overcome.
A bit of googling suggest this might stand for Basic and Expert dungeons and dragons, after the Basic / Expert boxes the rules came in
That's interesting because as recently as a couple of months ago I read "The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life" and found it pretty good for at least 90% of it.

There's something about the overall principle, worth investigating on an individual basis.
>When removing cables gaffer taped to the floor, always remove the tape from the floor and the cable at the same time.

"at the same time"? Is this equivalent to removing the tape from the floor, then detaching it from the cable? I'm not sure how you can remove the tape from them both at the same time.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Almost all of the “successful” people I’ve met over the years do this. Whether they be porn stars, tech gurus, YouTubers, or drug dealers, they have two personalities, the totally unfiltered public persona that instantly draws people to them in a room of strangers, then later in the night, they suddenly become the broken, real person, under the skin, that constantly fears being judged, worried what everyone else thinks about them. I’ve rarely met a successful person without the whole two personas thing going on somewhere in their psyche.
It's amazing to me that to get gender confirming surgery you need a letter from a psychologist and an unrelated doctor to prove you're sane enough, but if you're a rich dude you can just pay to have your legs broken so you can be over 6 feet tall.
A huge amount of the limitations were "just" down to cost.

E.g. on the C64 the CPU and graphics chip competes for memory cycles all the time. This is why the screen blanks when loading, for example - to prevent the graphics chip from "stealing" cycles. A more expensive memory subsystem would allow working around that, and speed up the entire thing. This is a recurring issue with many other architectures as well for cost saving reasons (e.g. the Amiga "chipram" vs "fastram" distinction).

From 1983, the 8/16-bit 65C816 (used in the Apple IIGS) would have been a more natural choice for the C128 or even a "revised" C64 (at the cost of some compatibility), and reached clock rates up to 14MHz.

A lot of it was also down to market pressure and R&D costs... All of the home computer manufacturers led precarious existences, as evidenced by most of them failing or transitioning out of that market (and often then failing); at its peak, Commodore was notorious for being tight fisted and spending ridiculously little money on R&D relative to its size, and that was probably what made it survive as long as it did despite serious management failures, while Apple largely survived by already then going after a less cost-sensitive market segment and much higher margins.

The list of R&D efforts in Commodore that were shut down not because they were not technically viable, but because the company wouldn't spend money on them (or couldn't afford to) is miles long. I'm sure the same was true in many of the other companies of the era (but I was a C64 and Amiga user, and so it's mostly Commodore I've read up on..)

We could certainly have had far more capable machines years earlier if a handful of these companies had more money to complete more of these projects and/or if there had been demand for more expensive machines at the time.

But then progress is very often limited by resource availability, not capability.
Supposedly, the February break that New England school districts follow was designed to stop the flu. Take everyone out of school for a week to stop the spread, hope that everyone that shows symptoms by the end of the week stays home.

Of course, that doesn't work when kids still go to school when sick, which they do. When I was a kid the school used to give awards to kids with perfect attendance. Now February break seems to be an annoyance for most parents and they find daycare alternatives, as well as sending marginal (or even outright sick!) children to school.
I wonder why it’s not discovered and appreciated by website owners. This plugin is a must-have.

1. It benefits anyone who use photos on their websites. Imagine how much storage you can save by downsizing a 12M photo to less than 500K while keeping the clarity of full high definition.

2. While there are WP plugins for users to choose or set face area manually for cropping, this is the only one that put face detection algorithms which have been there for 4 years in use. Imagine how the time or hassle you can save when uploading each photo? Yet it has an API to take the data from the manual plugins and better algorithms in the future.

3. Many site owners are annoyed by those thumbnails automatically generated no matter needed or not. This plugin cleans up them all. Imagine how lean and clean your media library will be.
> So can we have "herd" immunity when the majority of the able-bodied working-age population and school kids are not protected yet?

Yes. It's been one of the dumbest narratives of the last year that "herd immunity" is a single, fixed constant determined solely by vaccination rate. It isn't. The threshold itself is going to differ by subpopulation, and is affected by population mixing, mobility, climate, age distribution, current disease prevalence, natural infection rate and lots of other factors. For example, it's quite possible that large pockets of rural areas will achieve "herd immunity" long before, say, London, simply because there are fewer people interacting on a daily basis.

Even then, it's not like you hit the threshold, and infections just drop off dramatically. It's a shift as you get closer to the "threshold" (whatever that actually is), with infections gradually falling toward (but likely never reaching) zero.

This toy model version of herd immunity is appealing to the Thomas Pueyos of the world, but not at all representative of what happens in messy reality.
Yes, and that is part of what is stupid in the web browser design; the design of the software, and of the W3C standards, need to be improved.
Taking your walking into a store analogy, what you are actually doing is taking an xray of every potential customer, going through their pockets, recording every receipt from their wallet and then uniquely tagging them with a barcode all in the very moment that they touch the door handle to enter. And that's assuming you are not trying to be evil.

Could you please disclose the name of your company so I can be sure to avoid it like the plague?
This is the same case in US. The cost of construction has far outpaced inflation by order of a couple of magnitudes while technology keeps getting cheaper and labor prices are still stagnant for decades. Amazingly, it's exactly reverse case in China where construction prices have fell through the roof.
> The point is, that when acting in what we believe to be in the best interest of ourselves and others, we can actually cause more damage than good.

I do agree; you should not add such filters which cause those problems. But that is the customer's own decision what software to run on their computer, and not mine.

How many muslims and jews has he brutally murdered based only on their beliefs? If it's none he's not a very good Knight, is he?

He's not a real Knight because he's not a cruel and depraved psychopath working for the Royal Government to exterminate hated minorities in the pursuit of white supremacy.

That he feels hey OK associating himself and claiming as his own identity the historical racist abomination of knighthood though is exceptionally problematic. Something not right in the head.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I love my C compiler. At the same time I recognize the limitations of a lanuage that is now well in it's 5th decade.

The problem is that we have so much tooling and of such high quality that it is hard to switch to anything else. For myself mostly because of habit, existing libraries and speed of compilation. The edit-compile-test cycle length is a very high factor in my productivity. Go would score high on that list, other languages not so good. The stuff I do is for myself for the most part so I don't particularly care about security but in an environment where security is important with my present day knowledge of the pitfalls of C it would likely be the last language I would pick, and that is including the recognition that there are far more ways to create security holes than just memory safety, something proponents of other languages sometimes overlook.

C is a very sharp knife, it allows you to cut your fingers off in a very smooth and painless way. You'll likely realize it when you faint from bloodloss. At the same time, it is still, in spite of all those shortcomings my usual tool of choice. Simple, no huge superstructure, no whole eco system and mountains of dependencies rammed down my throat when I don't need them.

https://sharpkeys.en.softonic.com/ looks so scammy, and I have ublock turned on... I can only imagine how it must look without that. I'm sure it's fine but why do all windows tool s always get hosted on the most scam looking websites?

When I'm stuck on windows I use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/ctrl...

Of course adding setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps to ~/.xinitrc seems way easier to me. But I'm probably in the minority.
I've heard another defense that's pretty laughable. Goes something like, the ads tell people about conditions they might have but not realize.

I fully think we should be banning prescription drugs. There's precedent already for banning product ads - tobacco ads are no longer allowed for example.
macOS (or OS X) appeared quite developer-friendly to me. Xcode had a nice debugger that worked locally as well as remotely on a phone. Also you could use the IDE and commandline tools that were fairly well integrated.
Makes sense - thanks for the recommendation!
His resources. Not yours.

You don't get to judge, unless you want to detail what you did over the weekend and let the rest of us strangers decide if what you did was a waste or not.
Some of the comments are from 2014. Looks like this was from well before the lockdown XD
edgy, kid.
Also, the author did not spend two days. he spent 17 minutes and then did the math to calculate the block hash rate.

> Doing one round of SHA-256 by hand took me 16 minutes, 45 seconds. At this rate, hashing a full Bitcoin block (128 rounds)[3] would take 1.49 days, for a hash rate of 0.67 hashes per day
Another point is that there's a sub-linear relationship between mortality rates and life expectancy. Intuitively, it seems like a 10% increase in mortality should cut your life expectancy from 81 to 73.

But in fact, it only cuts life expectancy by about 6 months. To meaningfully cut years off your life, you have to increase your mortality rate by hundreds of percent. E.g. smoking about triples all cause mortality.

Going the other way, this is the real challenge with life extension. To increase life expectancy by a decade would require lowering mortality rates by more than an order of magnitude.
Not op, but i think the dispute is that its tied to the comment not that it exists.
I sometimes see swings in votes on my comments, although not such a fixed one-hour schedule.

(And I'd challenge your perception of that schedule, unless you're carefully timing every post. Confirmation bias can be strong--once you have the idea that it's an hour, you will tend to remember the times that were close to an hour, and forget the ones that weren't.)

The downvote/upvote patterns I've seen seem to be more related to the time of day. Comments get voted down during the workday by people who are on HN during the workday; but sometimes they'll get voted up in the evening, presumably by people who only check into HN after work.

I see a similar pattern on the weekend--vote trends on Saturday afternoon will sometimes reverse on Sunday night, again I assume because folks too busy to post during the weekend are checking out HN before bed. In general, I find the quality of moderation on HN to be worse on the weekend.

There also seems to be a "heat of the moment" effect, where posts that go against the prevailing wisdom get downvoted right away, but then voted back up hours later. I assume that is because people who read the discussion hours later can take a more measured view of the whole discussion.
The original person said "evangelists" and then slid into "zealotry." And I find a lot of anti-Rust folks seem to think anyone who likes Rust is a "zealot." YMMV.

I think that this is just a hard conversation to have, with a ton of different groups who all want different things, and have different incentives.
Generally cellular signals. For actual development I don't need connectivity (embedded/fpga stuff) so it isn't a large handicap.
As a counterpoint, everything you just said about Consul/Nomad applies to using hosted K8s like GKE. I moved my company's infra to it last year and now we barely think about it. We're a small team, I'm the only person doing devops, and there are very, very few problems requiring my attention.

I'm skeptical that anything allowing flexibility in this space can ever be that simple because the domain is actually pretty complicated. Networking, secrets, scaling, healthchecking, deployment strategies, containerization -- you need to know something about all of these before you can use Nomad or Kubernetes.
well each monitor has it own workspace, but when you change workspaces it will change them all in sync with each monitor, so I don't know if that's what you mean. you can have different layouts on different monitors if that is what you mean
I was just putting 1GB into context for 2021. My point is there is a substantial number of people that are perfectly fine using 1GB/hr for just one of the things they do online. So the requirement of a few GB every few months is not likely to even register for an even larger segment of the population, regardless of platform.

Of course there are those that this will matter to. And for those perhaps Apple, a premium brand, is not the best solution. But of course they will need to define “best” for their own context.

Edit: And of course there are contexts where the long upgrade time can matter a lot, like a help desk. They won’t care about the data but they may care about upgrade latency. Again I just don’t think the Magnitude of data is going to be an issue for Apple’s target demographic.
I appreciate his art now. At the time it was a prime example of the art over-promising and the game under-delivering. ;-)

Watching people convulse as they recover from GLOC in simulators makes me think that pilot input is probably best ignored.
That isn't quite what they said though, at least in the quoted text. They said they had no plans to block or throttle internet traffic. Regulations can have a broad effect limiting what businesses can do in a variety of ways beyond the narrow effect that is used to justify it. This law also includes prioritizing traffic and other things according to the article.
So it sits on a separate bus, physically disconnected from any other flight computers?
No one wants to be tracked though but they want the website to work. “All cookies” seem to play with that line. Don’t track me but allow website to work must be enforced on the client side. It’s what we do with uBlock origin and things in the like.
They’re both owned by intuit, fwiw
For me the experience is bad not because I don't understand how the platform works but because it represents some of the soullessness of modern culture and online media. Most of the content that it posted there, even by real people doing real things, often sounds like self-parody or a TEDx talk. The platform itself warps the way people relate to the world. The point you raised about reputation is a good one: it's not just reputation in itself but also a certain culture and way of thinking that is unofficially enforced.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the usefulness of it but I can feel something dying inside of me each time I use it as well. I cannot for the life of me relate to someone who enjoys LinkedIn for its own sake.
It's actually pretty cheap and easy these days with a transferwise account. But I agree, it used to be a massive pain, and still is for smaller currencies or more closed-off banking systems like japan.
