Why do you need an SSD in a machine targeted at the media player/home hub market?

SSDs are good for boxes that are latency-bound or subject to vibration. For a box that sits under a TV set and spends most of its active life throwing 1Gb mpeg4 files down an HDMI cable, not so much.
If you're putting in 80 hours and getting paid for 40 then it sounds like you don't respect yourself. Why would he?
I am running Mac OS X on Dell Mini 10v and considering buying an external monitor [18.5"]; curious to know how does it perform on the larger display in extended mode?
Paypal is to customer service as Microsoft is to security: they appear to have gotten religion after their feet were held to the fire, for all the good that that does them in the tech community's eyes.

For what its worth, I've sold something like $50,000 on Paypal and the handful of issues I've had were resolved with quiet professionalism and reasonable timeliness, in much the same manner that I'd expect from e.g. a bank.
Creating a seemingly meaningful justification for behavior isn't science, it's just folk wisdom. Scientific theories need to be falsifiable, they need to have predictive value.
There have been quite a few; Gowers himself (mentioned in the article) is working on one:

My use case was automated undoubling of audio files that are from the same source but compressed with a very large variety of compression software.
The moral thing to do is let the government ban them. The problem lies in the fact that totalitarian governments use social media to manipulate their own citizens and often run campaigns against them. By siding with the government in serious issues they make it even more difficult for citizens to "demand their freedoms", siding with the devil
This is incredible!

If you like this, there's a great podcast series that goes through the final 13 minutes of Apollo 11's descent to the lunar surface https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547

A few few years back there was a kickstarter for a reconstruction of one of the Apollo 11 manuals, the flight manual - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/apollo-11-flight-plan-re-... - i bought one and the quality is incredible, i always wished that group would do more of this ilk, their execution was fantastic.
> what he attemtped in the Tractatus was misguided at best and impossible at worst

But it remains his most famous and most quoted (well, that one sentence specifically) book.
Most Americans don’t care if elected leaders get silenced. Why would they care about this?
Yeah, the author must have a rather vigorous definition of gently. Something like being polite on the dueling grounds, perhaps?
> If backups are a weak point/risk don't enable the backups then? How is denying it for all a good solution?

Why enable something that could introduce additional security risks when it's both cheaper and safer not to develop that feature in the first place?

> All I have seen from Signal on social media for the past month is how they are the perfect alternative to WhatsApp.

Huh, I've not gotten that vibe at all after speaking with some of the people at Signal. They know that their product is not for absolutely everyone and quick glance at their Twitter doesn't seem to paint the picture you're seeing either. You have any specific examples you could point me to?

> It is not "entitled" to want to protect my data

Of course not and that was also not my point... The entitlement comes from you declaring that Signal is wrong here while not actually understanding the other perspective that they are operating from (which is different from yours, obviously).

> But now for chat conversations apparently backups are pointless and we shouldn't be doing them???

Again, if you are subscribing to the same worldview as the team of Signal is subscribed to, then yes, you shouldn't backup your ephemeral chat conversations. If you're instead interested in persisting your conversations, Telegram/Whatsapp/whatever probably fits your use case better and you feel free to use those instead.

Either you use a chat application that makes absolutely zero compromises on security and privacy but might have worse UX, or you chose a chat application that does compromise on those things but have a better UI. Your entitlement is that you think you can change Signals whole mission because you actually should be using a different chat application.
The balloon travelled for “forty-five minutes and fifteen miles to the village of Genoesse, where it was attacked by frightened peasants on landing.”
APE makes it viable for a cross platform C library with a cross platform C compiler to make cross platform binaries.

Besides I was in the same boat as you. I come from the world of JS/Python/Go. I even wrote https://github.com/Himujjal/ekon in pure C recently. The reason I thought C would be good is performance and portability. But I found it to be better to invest time in Rust rather than in C. C is a fantastic language but cross platform dependency management is difficult. Unit Testing is also difficult. There are solutions but not as efficient as Rust's ecosystem.

BTW I wish there could be a Cargo for every language.
Does that make the information actionable? Does being an INTJ allow a prediction on anything else other than being an INTJ?

What is the point in clustering them? If your team is 75% ravenclaw, 20% Hufflepuff and 5% other, how does that help? Are you going to go out and try to recruit a Slytherin?

What if your team is 45% Rachel, 15% Chandler, 20% Joey?

What benefit do you get from clustering people in this way?
I second that. I'm running the same machine, but without virtualization.

It's mostly idle and very power efficient, which was very important to me cause power is 35c$/kWh. Chose the version with i5-4590T.

Works out great so far.
Being able to put in things in PD depends on your jurisdiction. In some countries, the original author has certain rights or responsibilities that can't be signed away. But in the USA it's pretty uncontroversial (as far as I know).
Sure, I completely agree with you that it is for promotion, but it's also unique and funny way how to do it, so why not? Rather this than "oldschool" marketing way :).
Given the highly sourced nature of this comment, I would expect a well reasoned argument accompanying a downvote. In case this person missed what they should be replying to:

* Programs for internet surveillance existed before 9/11

* Partnerships with other intelligence services existed before 9/11

* The programs are used for international espionage and sabotage often

* Most of the capabilities of the NSA are not counter-terrorist capabilities

* EO 12333 and the "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court" were established in the early 80s

* The inspector general's report on the Boston Bombings excluded the NSA almost wholey from its report

* The NSA's own mission statement and website content focuses almost exclusively on foreign intelligence

There is a domestic nature to NSA programs. But the 'reason for the NSA and it's programs' is not CT.

>> That's of course ignoring the fact that Republicans actually gained seats in the house,...

>How often do you think this happens? That a president will gain seats in Congress and still lose re-election?

Given the non-linearity of the Electoral College, Trump's historically low approval numbers, the difference in geographic and institutional levels between Presidential and House elections, and over-the-top gerrymandering, I don't think that its so unlikely to be suspicious.

In the last 100 years, only four or five incumbents lost re-election, so empirically there just isn't enough data to establish a frequency (and even then, lots has changed, in the last 100 years, so who knows, right?). So what you really have is a mental model that says if a party wins in Congress they should win in the Presidential too. Well, in 1960, John Kennedy won, but the Democrats lost 21 House seats, and in 1992 Bill Clinton won the White House and the Dems lost 9 seats in the house, and in in 2000 George Bush won the White House and the Republican Party lost 2 seats in the House, in 2016 Donald Trump won, and the Republican Party lost six seats.

I might also mention all those Republican governors in blue states...

I know what you are going to say. That doesn't match the exact scenario where an incumbent lost but their party gained seat. But you need to justify why that particular scenario is relevantly different than ones that have already been known to have occurred.
> In the theory of causation, we distinguish between proximate vs. ultimate causality.

Yes, and you have them backwards. "The engineers failed to raise the issue" is a proximate cause, not an ultimate cause. If engineers in your company are failing to raise obvious technical issues, then either you're hiring incompetent engineers, or your corporate culture discourages engineers from speaking up and punishes those who do. Either way, the ultimate cause is a failure of the organization as a whole, which ultimately means its top management, not a failure of the engineers.
How much does it cost to handle and transport these tiny pellets? How much energy goes into the materials needed to manufacture the containments? How much energy goes into mining and refining the ore and bringing it to the reactor?
>A Cat4 modem is pretty long in the tooth and will likely give poor speeds/latency except on unloaded cell towers.

Depends on location. Recommendation is to disable low bands if there's a sufficient signal on midbands and it's operating full 20mhz channels (stuff like 4/66). Band 12/71 going to be slowww.
Someone who is a nuclear expert, could you answer some of my nuclear questions please.

1) the sun is a giant nuclear reactor and we indirectly derive most of our energy from it. Radioactive elements in general are the most energy dense and I agree with the idea of “nuclear energy in every home and office”. Sounds amazing. What makes nuclear so dangerous?

2) are there nuclear materials with short half life. Such that if you turn it off, it’s safe by default. It doesn’t require constant cooking and isolation.

3) is if there is a super intelligent alien species out there, most likely they’ve figured out how to harness nuclear power and make it portable. Is there a way we, as human species can do the same?

If voyager and the Mars rovers are operating on nuclear power, can we have nuclear powered planes, cars and robots that are safe and ubiquitous? (Safe nuclear batteries)
Even as a software engineer who studied mathematics, I just can't get excited about the type of problems found in Advent of Code and other such things, like Project Euler. Those problems amount to little puzzles and tricks and algorithms that have little to no context. What I find interesting about computing and programming is the representation and exploration of ideas.

Also, I can't help but wonder. Why does the Director of Google Research and a computer scientist use his personal time to code, what looks like exclusively, in Python rather than other interesting languages? Is it a bit of marketing for Google and/or his book, or does he just like Python?
One third of all US cars are under 5 years old. I suspect you'll just be like the guy running his Linux laptop from 2012 (I still have my XPS M1330 haha, older than your new car).

They won't make a product for you and they'll make lots of money.
Nah bro.
Interesting that the book received praise from Ed Scheidt, who designed the cryptographic methods used in Kryptos.

> This is THE book about code breaking. Very concise, very inclusive, and easy to read. Good references for those who would make codes, too, like Kryptos.

That sounds like a strong hint that the book comes close to discussing the kind of code used in the remaining unsolved section, though if so I suspect Dunin would have realized it in the writing process. (Others have already attempted and failed to identify the cipher through the process of elimination.)

For a good casual book on the subject, consider Simon Singh's "The Code Book," or if you want something more comprehensive, David Khan's "The Codebreakers" is extensive (though it was first printed before public key cryptography was widely known and completely reset the field).
The problem is with this part of the statement:
"Google Cast Ready speakers pull content directly from the cloud, so you’ll get the best audio quality"
Pulling content from the cloud doesn't not mean you'll get "the best" audio quality.
It could be a great ressource to learn about CORS but when you look at the different examples they all suggest slightly different headers.

And in most example it's a blanket Allow-Origin: *

It would be better to have recommended headers + value (maybe multiple for different use cases) with an explanation and then apply theses recommendations for every server.

Invest in people. I’ve been interviewing recently and have seen many companies are explicitly “we don’t care about language exp we will teach you, we want good ppl”.
I can't imagine using anything else anymore.
Even READMEs would be helpful!
If consumers don't have the willingness to pay for a media service that not only covers operational costs of distribution but also fairly compensates those involved in making the media, then... that sounds pretty much like the definition of unethical and unsustainable. You can argue that the cause is consumer price sensitivity and it still won't change the ethics and sustainability issue. Although I think that's also missing the point, which has to include how consumers came to have this expectation in the first place, and the role that Spotify has played in setting that expectation.

When a Spotify exec called artists "entitled" for wanting payouts on the order of a penny a stream last summer [0], I went looking around to see if anyone was doing better and approaching that. Turned out Apple Music had gone there [1].

Maybe that's recently become possible with the economics of current digital distribution tech. Maybe Apple has an edge from leveraging infrastructure they need for other services anyway. Maybe they're subsidizing it. I don't know. But I do know that the economics of streaming services have to include substantial efforts to do right by media creators with audiences at multiple scales if they're to remain ethical.

Offtopic question: How can you (reliably) meassure open rate of a newsletter? I'd assume mail clients as well as webmailers preventing any sorts of tracking, and tracking only those that have lax privacy requirements would taint the whole metric, wouldn't it?
There are. But from experience with my customers that use Haskell, they don't go around advertising it much.

I hope this guy finds a good Haskell job and doesn't end up in the blockchain world, which is way too prominent in the Haskell ecosystem.
I've actually moved into management because it's very on-demand in many ways, which means I don't need as much self motivation and deep focus as an engineer. People I have to see in meetings are expecting me and the scope and diversity of stuff I work on is significantly increased. People would think it's the other way around as a manager, but it's not as much as you think. I still rely on writing a lot of things down to keep myself structured and make plans too. So far my reports and my manager are pretty happy with me as far as I can tell.

Also going into therapy and getting meds will also help you a bunch. I think that will be more effective than necessarily trying to find the right kind of company. Try looking at this guide about adderal by a psychiatrist: https://lorienpsych.com/2020/10/30/adderall/
First of all, there's a difference between being less comfortable and uncomfortable. I said I was never uncomfortable on my bike, I didn't say it was equally as comfortable as every other state of being.

When I used to ride in cars as a child it was incredibly uncomfortable because I got car sickness. When I started to learn to drive it was uncomfortable again because of all these weird controls and the stress. I'm sure many of us would find it uncomfortable merely to be inside a car had we not grown up with them from a very young age. I, and everyone else, learnt to find cars comfortable just as I learnt to find bikes comfortable.
I don't work at ORY, but I do work on a Zanzibar implementation.

Basically, what you're describing is called "GBAC".
GBAC can be great if you need the full power of a typical Graph API, but Zanzibar-like services are focused on solving the problem of finding a path between two edges[1] and doing everything you can to optimize that operation for latency.
GBAC is flexible, but at the cost of performance compared to something more structured.

Success in any respect -- wealth, fame, accolades, awards, anything -- is incredibly dangerous to one's capacity for objective and rational thought. It tells the brain "you are doing everything right, keep doing more of it" and the result is often nothing but self-referential confirmation bias for the remainder of life. The instant a person considers themselves a success, they often stop learning or thinking.
So we must surrender our rights?

Depending on your software stack, there are several open source projects that can provide functionality out of the box.

If you don't mind paying just a little bit of money, you can get even more out of the box SaaS like functionality with tools like Jumpstart (if you're using Rails).

If everyone starts dumping their nuclear waste like this, then yes. Which is why this not cool and Japan should do the right thing and just pay for solving this properly and responsibly. They took on the moral responsibility to do that when they started planning to build the reactor. Tough luck it didn't work out for them with getting some electricity on the cheap. Just bad luck or bad planning (leaning towards the latter).

Nuclear waste is inconvenient because handling it properly is very costly and as soon as you start accounting for that, nuclear stops being cheap. Or put differently, it's only cheap if you make the waste somebody else's problem. Not unlike people's tail emissions from their cars are somehow not their problem but we all get to enjoy the effects of global warming.

It's more a question of "can Japan get away with just dumping nuclear waste in international waters?". Answer: yes of course they can. People will whine a bit but nobody is going to do much more than that. Probably some marine life will be affected. And there's a chance that shows up in our food chain. (Japanese love sushi, just saying). But the Pacific is a big place so the chance of that is not super high. Or it happens in a few hundred years when that crap is still radioactive. By then it's the problem of a few generations after us. We might simply call that bad luck and claim that will not have a measurable effect. A few people dying in the future would be hard to measure or connect to this specific event. That doesn't mean it won't happen but just that you have plausible deniability. People confuse that with "it's fine". Depends if we are talking legalities here or moral responsibility.
Except the UK Treasury fixed the price of gold at £3.17s10.5d in 1717 and the price didn't change for ~200 years until the UK left the gold standard in 1931. So, zero compounding for 211 years.

The fixed price was set by Newton, btw.
Wait, a magical new weight-loss scheme based on some seemingly counterintuitive yet simple principal might be a scam? What a shock!

Why this junk is on the top of the HN front page I don't know.
Wow, the doctor story really hits close to home for me.

My mother was fat. She was feeling especially tired for several months. She went to her doctor. The doctor was historically kind of embarrassed that my mother was fat, told her to lose weight, and didn't palpate her swollen belly.

My mother went to the dentist. The dentist had known my mother for years, and palpated her belly. She sent her immediately to the emergency room.

Happily, my mother survived metastatic lymphoma after the removal of the 9" tumor in her belly, a heavy dose of chemo, and an autologous stem cell transplant. Modern cancer treatment is really impressive!

My mom has been in remission for over a decade, but I'm still really mad at her general practitioner.

Say there's a horse race. Paul Revere is listed as having 500:1 odds of victory. You, however, know that because the weather is clear, he actually has a 5% chance to win. It's a great idea to bet on Paul Revere, but you're still most likely going to lose your money.

Great article - I'd seen another on the S/C/L model, possibly by the same guy, and this one went into more depth - it's a really interesting insight - thx!
That seems backwards. Batteries are indistinguishable components, cars aren't. It's the batteries that are commodities.
I did, man.

Table 1.

Wi-Le Energy/packet: 84 uJ
Wi-Le Idle current: 2.5 uA

BLE Energy/packet: 71 uJ
BLE Idle current: 1.1 uA

You can see this from Figure 4 as well.

So, like I wrote, Bluetooth consumes less battery.

In addition there are unsolved issues, which are likely to add to the overall consumption.

We could make an educated guess, however. Gold has intrinsic value, which gives it a significant advantage over a tiny arrangement of bits in an ocean of them.
You better not particpate in fiat currencies that maintain themselves by spending TwHs to maintain their standing armies (or diplomatic relations with countries that do have standing armies).
