In my experience it's better (in terms of using solar vs steam) to turn it off much sooner than that (maybe 15% or 20%) so that you're minimizing the amount of wasted solar energy later in the day when the accumulators are full and the base isn't consuming all the solar output. You might end up with the steam turning on and off a couple of times over the course of a night, but it'll still be a shorter total time than if you wait until 50% to turn off.
The FSF looks even more like a sect if you do mental gymnastics like that for your former guru.

RMS publicly defended child rape. Someone like that should not get to define what freedom means.

RMS has all the right not to get attacked about his awkward behavior, but he has to feel the consequences on his ideological thought.
I love the picture of their notes! [1] It hints of iteration and exploration (multiple drawings of flower-petal-looking graphs), corrections (scribbled over symbols), refinement ("Phase J" appears in multiple places), and, above all, collaboration (different colors!). A great representation of the process of mathematical discovery.

It's so different from the austere presentation of a polished LaTeX paper. A completed proof leaves out so much of the exploration process -- the doodling, hopeful symbol-pushing, flawed intermediate conjectures and conclusions -- and just leaves an artificially linear representation of how to approach the problem. It's easy to feel despair when a textbook or paper presents something so succinctly, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world, but there was a lot of stumbling around in darkness (the dark background of the note-taking software!) before the elegant formulation was finally illuminated.

Graph problems and combinatoric problems are especially fun to puzzle out in a notebook as it's especially easy to come up with examples, though it does get difficult to play around with larger graphs. Recently I tried to find an algorithm for generating round-robin tournament pairings, and ended up filling pages of notes with tables and dissections of complete graphs. It's a fun challenge, and accessible even to someone without a theoretical math background. I eventually found a horrendously complicated solution, one I was proud of, even after reading a supremely simple construction on Wikipedia.

You clearly are not an expert on autism. The disease is a huge spectrum of different behaviors, from almost normal, to severe retardation. I've seen RMS in real life, he's borderline can't take care of himself, that's not being abusive.
It's funny you say that, I usually view Hacker News zoomed in at 250% (on desktop) because the font is tinier than I'd like.
This is also why landlords lately are offering 1-2-3 months free on signing for these empty places, rather than dropping the base rent by 10-25% to get more tenants.

As a fan of ML family languages I have a question for SML lovers. What do you typically build with SML?

For context, I’m web programmer and I’m also learning game dev, can I use SML productively?

Or are there other tasks that I could use SML for?
In my opinion, the internet is the great equalizer. You can ask someone a question over email, or on a forum like this, or over Twitter and you can often get thought-out responses.

Not that it could ever replace an investor relationship, but there's no reason that people can't solicit advice from people who have already achieved success. Of course, you may not always get a response, but you'd be surprised by how approachable many people are.

I’m at my worst in Octordle when I get my first word in the 3 guess. Then I feel pressured to get 2 + 8 guesses. However that usually doesn’t work out and I end up wasting the 4th guess with unoptimal letter coverage.
No? If other people didn't exist then there is nothing to disallow. We are talking about how people will go to meetings to try to veto building proposals.

When I first posted it a few hours ago, I didn’t have CloudFlare. You can see lots of people unable to load the page at all in the earliest comments. Unfortunately it got to a point where pages weren’t just slow to load, but the connections were dropped entirely. So I figured that between the options of enabling CloudFlare or just having it be completely inaccessible, the former was preferable even at the cost of authenticity. I would love to find a better idea for how to keep the site online, if you have any.
The way I understand it is a hard realtime system does not solve that problem but does ensure the process with too much work does not prevent any other process from meeting its obligations. In other words, the failure to meet demand is isolated & prevented from cascading into other tasks.

Of course, if the process that is overloaded is the process responsible for keeping the system from crashing into the Sun, this doesn't quite fix the problem.
Absolutely.

I wonder how many servers are completely hidden. I’d love an easier way of making a server that wasn’t accessible to the world at large.

It isn’t so much that setting up the VPN is painful, but helping a kid install the software over the phone with no tech-savvy parent around is hard.
They are such idiots for not having the picture of the device in the palm of a hand or something. Marketing fail.
Cool.

Close, but not what I need. What I want (& maybe others?) is:

Compute on a stick that's a VM. Then, I can plug this into my laptop's HDMI or USB port to work on my project's local data/apps that's inside the VM.

Then I can take the stick when I travel, instead of taking my laptop. I can plug the stick into any laptop for full keyboard/trackpad. Or, I could plug the stick into a TV/monitor & use my phone/tablet's IO (keyboard/touch) over the same wifi. (Yes, the stick would need a minimal host OS to run a VM on a dumb monitor.)

Small local storage (working cache) with the rest in the cloud.

If such a device exists, please educate me/us.

I'm in the US. I usually use 1GB per month, and my wife uses even less.

I typically don't consume social media on the go, I don't stream music in my car, and definitely don't watch movies or YouTube while out and about. I pretty much connect to WiFi wherever I go, and my broadband comment had access points all over which my phone automatically connects to.

I didn't participate in the survey myself, and there's a good chance the participants aren't the average (the survey asked how much more data they think they'd use over 5g).

I pay about $20 per month for my plan.
Are concentration camps one of those things?
I love it how CPUs have more onboard memory than my whole first computer now.
It will be hard to get approval for that to launch (at least from the US). In order to be tracked to ensure the safety of future launches objects need to be much larger than a single chip. Smaller than that the tracking techniques used have trouble tracking the vehicles.
There is a difference between being heretical and being impolite, insulting or deliberately provocative. It is not only what you say but also how you say it.

This being said, how do you expect to receive anything but backlash with a conditional clause like in your last sentence ("if the West could set aside its insecurity and pomp and see clearly."). That's not heresy, it's deliberate edgy-ness.

Beside that I believe that 'the West' could learn some things from China because I believe that it is not all bad. Claiming that China is not bad in light of the China Cables is pretty bold, though.
Compile on boot
Since my original comment didn't include explanation for why it's a good thing to restore lands back to their pre-bushcrafted state and the fact this very task is done by NPS and USFS, I edited my comment to add that missing info.

Not sure if it was you asking about it that got it upvoted or the additional explanation.
I'd guess both and I'd further estimate that most people that are not involved in the hiking/preservation community could pass near one of these 'shelters', without recognizing that it's bad for the environment. It's easier to recognize a call to destruct structure such as this as a vandalism.
From what I see in my viewport, no it's not reasonable.

Using 500 requests for this because http2 exists is like stating it's ok electron apps eat 1 Go of ram because we have big configs today.

That's also why, in 2019, with quad cores, SSD and more memory than ever, things doesn't feel faster than 10 years ago.
I don't think I've ever worked on a development team where you could book a meeting before 10:30am and expect the team to be there.

I've always liked an early start for an early finish, I was one of the very few working early though in most places.
> You have endpoint logs for the file access

No endpoint security system I'm aware of being used outside of core banking/telco/government system logs all file accesses. It would crash instantly for one single build of your average NodeJS application.
At the time (in MS-DOS 2.0) you could set SWITCHAR=- in CONFIG.SYS to override this setting. @kiwidrew's post above even has an excerpt from the source that demonstrates it:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26272844

So in principle they could have thought of having something like PATHCHAR=/ as well.
> it starts making sense to invest into human labor and knowledge

Because that's definitely what happens when people hold a lot of money. They invest into human labour and knowledge.
That would solve the issue until master progresses again. The problem is that on many projects the master branch will progress during the lifetime of a pull request.
Read too quickly and thought I may be getting $5000
Not in NYC, but I've seen cab drivers auctioning rides by asking "who will pay more" after some events. At airports I've definitely had my share of drivers asking multiple passengers where they're going so they could go to the most advantageous location. Both were obviously illegal in the cities I was.

Remembering those, I can definitely see why everyone started using Uber.

You can choose not to retweet assholes. But that doesn't mean I can't.

>Are you unaware that the Free Software Movement is a political movement first and foremost?

Bingo. It is a political movement. One rooted in idiotic ideologies that no thinking person takes seriously. Communism was defeated by taking the few valid points of Marx and addressing them. The 98% stupidity was easy to refute and discard when the 2% valid points were accepted and addressed.

What problems do you imagine that the Chinese government has solved which Western governments haven't?

It certainly hasn't solved violent oppression of minorities, though admittedly it's more industrious and organized in that field than any Western government.
So far it doesn't seem to be clear but to me it appears Australia so far isn't as widely distributed.

Earlier, it appeared Troy Hunt was sent both Australia and Austria:

~196 MB vs ~34 MB respectively.

However, he later posted an update later expressing some similar curiosities:

They didn't actually say whether APIs are copyrightable, just that they would assume it for sake of argument and test to see if the fair use test was sufficient. They found the fair use test sufficient so they didn't investigate whether it was copyrightable or not.
That at the end of the day, Uber sent a woman into terrible situation, creating a bunch of externalities that society has to bare. Society should have the right to identify those externalities and bring the companies attention to those externalities. If the company says "not my problem" the public should get to decide if they want to allow a company to blithely foist those externalities onto society.

They have a legal argument why they arent responsible, but that doesnt mean they are socially responsible to its users, shareholders and other stakeholders.

Even then, the courts have made their order, so it looks like their arguments were legally insufficient.

Its hard for me to defend a system that blatently hurts the disabled then tries to argue a loophole around the ADA. They even have a link declaring how much they care about providing accessibility https://www.uber.com/us/en/about/accessibility .

All this lip service and they wont take responsibility for a blind woman being stranded multiple times, because she was stranded by their "contractor".
What is interesting is seeing the market contract in recent years. After 2008, a lot of car companies killed their performance models or lines off entirely, despite the bull run presumably adding more money in peoples pocket in years since. Car manufactureres are realizing they don't need to develop a lot of cars. That it's a bad business decision to build a 400hp turbocharged mitsubishi lancer and sell it to the tiny market of 30 year olds with money for a $45k car but no children to keep their sense in check, if the average consumer by and large just wants an SUV to go the grocery store. Some manufacturers like Ford don't even really sell sedans anymore, so it goes beyond even just performance cars to anything that isn't a 30mpg $24,000 sport utility box.
> before Firefox's extensions got gutted

You might like to take a look at Waterfox. It's a fork of the last pre-Quantum of Firefox, with frequent security update releases (roughly every 8 weeks), that still runs XUL extensions.

It's my default browser since Firefox Quantum, because recent Firefox versions simply can't do all the customisations I like — such as a vertical tab bar combined with a flat bookmarks bar, a smart download manager in a tab, and so on.
Interesting.

I am not leaving anytime soon, but can easily spend 15-20 minutes a day replying to recruiters just in case I one day need them and just browsing what pops up as recommended on LinkedIn.

I agree with the other comments that you need to do something, but I'm going to disagree with that you should jump to divorce as the first step. You haven't said what you have already tried, so I suggest:

1) telling her how you feel, in the form of "I feel X when you do Y". For example, "I feel unvalued when you spend more on your horse than we do on the mortgage. I feel scared for our kid's future when you prioritize your expensive horse over saving for his/her education. I feel trapped when you spend the money I make without deciding together how to spend it." It can be hard to know exactly how these actions make you feel unless you've practiced thinking about it, so you might want to write it down and revise it over a week or two. Also, depending on how your wife takes feedback, you might want to have discussions of just one at a time.

2) marriage counseling.

3) setting boundaries: "my standard of being treated is <...>" and take steps to "enforce" them. The easier levels are along the lines of "I want to be talked to respectfully, so I will leave the room when you do not, but when you are ready to talk respectfully, come and get me." I'm not sure how you communicate "I think our budget should look 25% house, 20% food/clothes, 10% retirement, 10% kids education, etc, which leaves $X for optional things like horse; if you need more than that you'll need to get a job" without being unilateral, though. But you have some financial values/boundaries that are being crossed and you need to communicate / enforce those.

4) It would be a bad sign if your wife didn't respond positively to any of the above. However, even in that case you could get counseling for yourself on how to respond healthily, and you are also likely to get insight into why your wife is behaving this way (the counselor might notice consistent signs of co-dependency, for instance).

5) Read pre-modern stories about how spouses handled toxic behavior. (The quasi-mythic ones that start off "There was once a woman in ... whose husband ...") I've read a few Japanese stories about wives that change the incentives for their husbands and they stop being drunkards and start being productive. (There's fewer stories the other way, but those exist, too.) Some of these stories are quite creative solutions; maybe something like that would work with your wife.

Don't just stay stuck and miserable, though. There are many ways to defeat the giants.

That was often done with GWBASIC to fit the code into the small amount of memory.

Where has the WSJ been for the last 30 years? "Soft" AI has been broadly commercially successful since the 1980s with the advent of prolog and rule engines, and on the machine learning side, there have been major commercial successes since the late 90's with Bayesian methods, Feed Forward Neural Nets, Random Forests, SMVs, and most recently with multi-tiered Neural Nets.

AI research may not have reached the goal of Hard AI or AGI, but it has most definitely paid for itself several times over by now.

I finished his collected works a few years ago, well worth the effort. I wish I knew a successor to the PKD mindfuck. I need to invest the time researching Japanese SF, as that seems to hold some promise. anyone know of other authors mixing philosophy and drugs and religion and politics well? (already finished Pynchon, and Burgess; Verne has some great political philosophy too. But PKD's harsh take just feels so visceral, I need more.
When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there, unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I'm banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing the clarinet, I'm shredding "Reign In Blood" on my double-necked Stratocaster.

Ugh. I don't want your money and would not take it.

Normally, people want an answer so they can just attack it. So why bother.
