This.

Before PUCT pegged the prices, we were able to load-shift our showers, heat, and device charging to parts of the day where there actually was still sufficient supply to drive prices down under 50c/kWh.

Even if you aren't shifting your use around, there's a really big difference in the total damage done by power rates pegged at $9/kWh 24/7, and power that was occasionally hitting this rate but was otherwise ~averaging somewhere on the order of $2-3/kWh over a 24h period early on in the crisis.

The day before PUCT pegged the rate had a few hours of relatively tolerable prices. Thankfully we lost power for nearly a full day of the fixed $9/kWh rate.
> You could have a strict language with a growable stack

This doesn't fix the more general problem of something that is generated by a (co-)recursive function and consumed gradually.

Non-strictness lets you "pause" the recursion until you need it. You can have a data structure that's bigger than memory (even infinite) and it's not a problem as long as you don't need all of it at once.
I'll go ahead and skip addressing the weird meta-analysis, aside from recognizing it - and calling it weird. As far as taking exception with the language used to describe the rioting, well that is just more of the same - the desperation to control language has gone from mildly annoying to simply pitiful. It also makes the task of accurately describing the participants and their activities impossible, which you foreshadow...

> ...what do the air quotes mean?

Consider not only the stupidity of cramming so many people into a single label suffixed by the word "community", but the utility that such an exercise would offer - and to who's benefit. Do you feel a sense of community with the rest of the people who share some arbitrary set of qualities with you? The right handed, brown eyed, bowl cut community?
It looks like there's a few different exemptions: http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs36.htm
Promises and generators actually work magnificently well together. I would recomend taking a look at an implementation of Task.js [1] [2] and, for example, some of its (increasing) usage across the Mozilla codebase [3].

The reason we don't see any articles about voltage regulation algorithms or leak testing of lithium batteries is that people who would read such articles are rare. They might get some interest in niche sites like Hacker News, but Tesla wants to move towards mainstream acceptance and for that to happen they need articles on subjects regular people can understand and relate to, such as how Tesla is doing in relation to other manufacturers.

This is not to say that such articles are uninteresting for hackers. Many of us here root for Tesla, not only because Elon Musk is one of us but also because the technology his cars use is useful and cool. That is why you see these articles on the front page.
We need sites to create DRM-free zones where:

- all content is CC licensed
- it's easy to donate to content/remix creators
- it's easy to (a) reuse content, (b) credit creators
- no MPAA content is allowed
It should definitely not be hard to find wifi in Denmark. The biggest coffee chain (Baresso) has wifi at all locations that isn't even passworded, and most smaller cafes have a hotspot with a password (in Copenhagen at least, working in coffee shops on laptops is very common). There is also wifi at public libraries, on the buses, on the commuter rail, in malls, at museums, etc. And in Sweden, every 7-11 has wifi, which means that hotspots are almost literally everywhere. I doubt you could walk more than a few blocks in Copenhagen or Stockholm without hitting free wireless.
How is Korean culture liberal? Maybe you mean consumerist?
Tolkien's work can be naive and problematic on matters of race, but it's a mistake to think that he himself was racist. He was furiously opposed to the Nazis well before it was fashionable to be so, and the same with apartheid.

Describing LotR as good white northern people vs. evil black southern people is extremely inaccurate, I think. Some of Sauron's minions were dark men from the South, but see Sam's reaction when he finds one of them dead: "He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil at heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace."

The unshakably evil nature of the orcs is certainly problematic, and it's fair to say that Tolkien wasn't conscious of the implications there; but it's also fair to say that orcs are created things without free will, and Tolkien thought of them more like self-replicating war machines than like people of any earthly race. Humans (and elves and dwarves and hobbits) of whatever color are invariably shown as being moral beings with the capacity for both good and evil.
BSD ports on Yosemite, what could go wrong LOL!
It's well known around here by now that "STEM" should actually be "TE", Science and Math are horrible career choices in America.

What's maybe less well known is that in 1990 the NSF, along with universities and industry were warning of a critical shortfall projection in American scientists and mathematicians. The shortfall never existed but reforms were put in place to double the number of people recruited from abroad in these fields, causing the unemployment rate to soar and salaries to plummet. 1991 is when science and math quit being smart career choices for American graduates:

At least he was able to get $35000? How does make a difference? None of what happened to him can be fixed with money. You should have stopped at the first sentence.
In my experience, it's a very important skill for debugging code as well. Anytime I see something go by in a debugging session that I didn't expect, I try to get to the bottom of it. It may be a clue to the bug I'm trying to track down; it may be a clue that there's a different bug; or at the very least, it tells me I don't understand something about the code, and may have started out asking the wrong question.
“ does not affect the browser version” at least they weren’t able to combine this with a browser security flaw to escape the JS sandbox.
That's a red herring. These 3rd party tweaks don't make the Mac desktop experience objectively "nicer", they are tweaks to make it more familiar to people used to other, non-Mac desktop environments.

Personally I consider the stock macOS desktop experience to be perfectly fine.
Just look at the CVEs. Most of them come from codecs

Wow never realized ffmpeg could be used like this!

Unfortunately both these commands create a somewhat jerky video on my rx 550 on linux mint and drives CPU crazy (ryzen 3500).

I guess it's my underpowered graphics card, but any way to tweak your grab-screen-lossless for a smoother capture?
because it’s much simpler for people to find external causes to their misery than looking at their own actions.

Why is it naive?
What you can actually do with these extensions?
Imho we just need a carbon tax levied directly where the fuels are dug out of the soil that ramps up for a couple of years until we can make it equal to the price of carbon sequestration. That doesn't account for things like Methane from livestock, but it's a step in the right direction and politically much easier than taking away meat from people.
Hmm.

Would a SAT solver be useful for compiler technologies?

A compiler is basically solving the problem of: here is a sequence of things I want done; here is a description of what the machine can do; find a combination of the latter which achieves the former. The details are the tricky bit, particularly for unpleasantly asymmetric instruction sets like the old 8-bit architectures.

It would be so nice if I could just throw a description of the problem at some sort of machine reasoning system and have it Just Work...
I don't think doing it the AWS way is always necessary from the start. You can do a lot of simpler stuff with ElasticBeanstalk or OpsWorks and you'll still be in a better position to scale than working straight on a VPS.
Can someone explain why both answers A and B are not valid on the metacarpal problem? If the line indicates a linear relationship between these two values, and the choice of axis is arbitrary, it seems to me you could just as well predict one from the other as vice versa.
Promotional videos look impressive. The demo, thought, not so much: gesturing seemed awkward, clicking in the air is not an interface. I guess this could easily be improved using haptic feedback.

Of course, the naysayer in me is just thinking this is a PR move to tell investors and stakeholders everything is alright and that MS got their backs covered by stepping into the future. Which is not that unusual, Google and Amazon are doing it too.
This is fascinating, my mind is immediately drawn to simple obfuscation programs that would turn tabs into spaces and change the formatting and so on, while still leaving it syntactically correct. Not obfuscation such as to hide the purpose of the code, just the identity of the author.

Does anyone know of any such projects, or what they might be described as? None of the queries I've tried produce the intended results.

You could even take it one step further, if you can identify the author of source code, can you not then forge that signature to make it look like they wrote something they didn't?
At IBM Almaden in San Jose it seems like just about everyone walks all the way around the campus (~20 minutes) everyday after lunch. Apparently that is a thing that's been going on there for a very long time. After I left Almaden I went to HGST and they did the same thing. It turns out the HGST group I was in sprung out in some way from Almaden :)
It's not just you. It's also other people who don't have much experience with engine performance. Quieter mufflers restrict more airflow, something you don't want to do when you're trying to pass more fuel through a small engine.
there are a lot of frustrating tradeoffs with these kinds of filter pitchers. they can remove a lot of nasty solutes, but they can also introduce bacteria.

here's a study that found that brita-filtered water contained more bacteria than the tap water only a week into the filter's service life: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8740859/

I used to be a religious brita user, but now I just stick to tap. hard to assess the relative risk, but it's cheaper than buying filters.
I'd like to add that those moves we (assuming you're referring to the US) made 100 years earlier were not made with liberty intact. A lot of our progress was built on the back of slavery and racial discrimination at scale in housing, education, transportation, jobs, etc.
I respect the writing in the Economist. It's kept to a high standard and they put their cases well with evidence as the article here highlights. Even the times I don't agree with their position, I still respect it.

I wonder how much it helps that their writers are anonymous and therefore less likely to go on personal flights of fancy or building an argumentative approach. It is perhaps puts the individual writer on the backfoot but makes the quality of the publication higher. Personally I think other sources would do well to consider this - frankly I would rather be a fan of an idea than a writer: the former seems reasonable the latter likely to vere into pointless worship. Plus it's much easier to switch to new ideas if they're superceded by better ones in due course.
Certainly not on the scale of Amazon.
I realize that this ask is standard on HN but it’s a bit of a pain to comb through a publication to produce the imputed litany of minor inaccuracies. I share the OP’s sentiment that the economist is a lousy source for opinions (it is however great for total coverage of world events, but you take this with an ideological spin that free trade and deregulation will make everything good). In general the economist is written as a series of anonymous op-eds. Articles will bring up specious comparisons ‘the amount of natural gas reserves in Bolivia is greater than the oil sands of Alberta’ and use these to support opinions that are unrelated. They will make bold forecasts from scanty data ‘more subsidies for domestic industry will reduce GDP growth’, ‘restricting access to Qualcomm chips will cripple Chinese Mobile Manufacturers’ and never validate their success rate. In general it requires a lot of critical reading to not get sucked into believing that they know what they’re talking about.
> Textualists are trying to ignore the fact that there's a difference between intent and implementation.

It is actually the opposite. Textualists say that intent doesn't mean squat. Originalists will consider intent. Textualists say that intent is unknowable and therefore you must exclusively use the text of the law, regardless of how stupid that might seem.
Book collecting is a niche hobby that spans the global middle class to the ultra wealthy (as opposed to baseball cards which are mostly an American thing). A rare book is easy to hide, easy to move, unrecognizable to most and quite liquid.

In October, someone dropped a box of books on the sidewalk in front of a library that was closed during Covid (along with its outdoor book drop which was locked). Many people had already rummaged through it by the time I got there with my 5 month old strapped to my chest. I came away with an autographed first edition, first printing of the intelligent investor. Hidden in plane sight.
Swift has the potential to become a great systems language but I am cautious it will replace Foundation/AppKit/UIKit. For example, a Swift string IS an NSString (at the moment at least).

It's impossible to know for sure, but when you look back 15 years ago when Cocoa was the new and shiny to the old-trusty Carbon. Apple was actually writing software in Cocoa internally. Everything they were building towards extended from the NeXT Objective-C world. Though true, they didn't publicly commit to Cocoa 100% until OS X 10.4, but you better believe internally they were always in. It's just the world didn't see it until the "We're rewriting the Finder in Cocoa" campaign was announced.

At Apple right now, no one outside of the compiler team is working on anything interesting in Swift. It's still locked away from them. To be fair, it's an evolving language and will cause a lot of heartache for everyone until the language has been baked in more.

I know Mattt is excited for Swift. Plus, a lot of developers are already doing some really cool stuff. So we shall see in a couple years how the story plays out.

In your ideal world, when exactly should the police gear up to disperse a crowd? While it's actively rioting?
Code more in each language, enough that you actually forget how to code in your previous language. Then switch back and re-learn it, including the old idioms. Your goal is getting the idioms, best practices, and language philosophy ingrained unconsciously in your brain, so you don't have to think about it.

It's much like switching from Qwerty to Dvorak. When you first do it, if you do it right, you will forget how to type in Qwerty. It's only after switching between them a couple times, re-learning the previous layout, that you'll become fluent in both. Switching does become easier after the first few times, though.
I agree. Thanks for the link. I have added stuff that i started with. will improve this list over time.
I should just reduce the price of LAX-SFO and SFO-PDX accordingly, so that the cost of LAX-SFO-PDX is the sum of LAX-SFO and SFO-PDX. If I can afford to carry the passenger through LAX-SFO-PDX for $190, then I can afford to carry her LAX-SFO for $x and SFO-PDX for $(190-x).
And the companies knew that it was dangerous too

According to Wikipedia:

The U.S. Radium Corporation hired some 70 women to perform various tasks including the handling of radium, while the owners and the scientists familiar with the effects of radium carefully avoided any exposure to it themselves; chemists at the plant used lead screens, masks and tongs.[1] US Radium had even distributed literature to the medical community describing the “injurious effects” of radium.
Every Chinese programmer I know, and also all the technical people such as network admins, use a VPN routinely and openly now. That was not the case two years ago, when more Google services worked.
Yea my university IT job was like that too. Except automating things was part of my job description and I still wasn't given much lee-way to automate things much.

One of the stuble ways an obsession goes unnoticed, I believe, is due to schelp blindness [0].

For instance, a decade ago, I became super obsessed abt the state of emergency first-aid after going through harrowing experience of seeing one of my friends die stranded on a highway because the responders reached after 2 hours. Despite that, I never acted on it. I'm glad folks at http://gethelpnow.in (Uber for Ambulance) are going to fix it for India, and it is a great business opportunity too seeing how helpless and desperate the emergency situation really gets, compared to the West.

Speaking of ambulances, one of my cousins volunteers for the famed St. John's Ambulance Brigade [1] in Bombay and they were one of the first responders to the 2008 Bombay Terror Attacks [2]. Even though they're well funded and well-run for a non-profit, I firmly believe a for-profit business with skin-in-the-game would be able to provide more value.

I've been curious to the point of obsession abt a lot of things a lot of times and have seen numerous successful companies that were later built by sheer determination and rifle focus on solving the problem by the respective founding teams. When I see these companies (even in their infancy when success is not obvious), I have that urge to want to go work for them but end up stalking their progress instead, and that's because, I believe, I've been obsessed abt the problem they solve.

In any case, it is always easier said than done.

I'd say apple should just pull the kindle app right now and force the users to migrate to iBooks rather than do it later when Amazon provides an alternative. When(if) Amazon comes out with theirs they'll start making more demands to force apple to boot them out, at which point they'll get a bunch of kindle addicted ipad users migrating to their tablet for free.
I think the secret to d3 is that before you can get much out of it, you basically have to be comfortable with hand-writing static visualizations in SVG. Once you can do that, d3 can give them life.
My definition of reasonable: 1) First establish a reasonable hourly rate for each person in the OR (doctor, anesthesiologist, assistants). Add all that up. Then add in the amortized cost of the equipment used (knives, heart monitor, bed sheets), add in the medicine costs, then add a 20% overhead fee (guess) for the operating room / hospital. Somehow I don't come out to a figure anywhere near to a hundred grand (or 20 or 50k).

On Linux, at least, only root can view a process' environment via ps(1). So it's at least as secure as the filesystem from an inspection point of view.
> Another way of putting it is "A mathematician might be interested in the general properties of dynamical systems, and a biologists entire research agenda at the moment may very well be this set of equations with a very specific parameter set."

I surely won't disagree, but I want to add the point that when the model turns out to be wrong (and most will), also the biologist will have an interest to know, whether just some parameters (say values of constants, wrong probablility assumption) are wrong or the fundamental model has to be reconsidered.
Has anyone looked at the wordlist? It's over here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Pr0x13/iDict/master/files/...

For those who don't want to bother clicking on that link, it's only 500 lines long. In other words, if your password is not one of the 500 listed in that file, you'll be fine. My password is not listed in the file, and the same goes for almost all of us. There are literally 500 passwords in that file! If you only use letters and numbers for your password and your password is 8 characters long, there are more than 2 * 10^14 possibilities

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but real marketing is user acquisition. Contacting blogs is PR and it has very little to do with marketing(maybe with the exception of positioning). If your marketing strategy is to contact blogs and tweet, you don't have a marketing strategy.

What I find chilling is that so much of the freezed peach brigade has relegated so much power to these paper tiger tech companies that they think content moderation is any kind of threat to public discourse.

There are zillions of unencumbered ways to have unmoderated discourse on the tubes. The entitlement of having it on the most amplifying platforms is something that people couldn’t dream of a decade ago.
You can't fix the issues around Id because the people pushing for id rules want to use them to disenfranchise people. They won't go for solutions that make it easier to get the id because they don't want certain people to vote
