>80% of the material in solar panels is recycled from old solar panels.

That doesn't pass the sniff test. Solar cell production is on a strong upwards curve, if 80% is recycled from other panels then supply would be bounded by old solar stock recovery, which is not the case.

I can't see how 80% of solar panel material, even if we're talking exclusively about the PV cells and not the surrounds, could be from old solar panels, especially not 30 year old solar panels.

Are there no time limits? the debates (real ones) I am familiar with are normally say 4 minuets to propose 3 to second and 3 mins as a right of reply.
I read Daisy Miller and Portrait of a Lady, kind've the same book if you ask me. The ending of Portrait is unsatisfying and meant to be. Does she go back to Osmond? But like Blade Runner, there are two edits:

One ends with Henrietta telling Caspar (in a Graduate Hollywood sort of ending)

“Look here, Mr. Goodwood,” she said; “just you wait!”
On which he looked up at her.

The other continues:

On which he looked up at her-but only to guess, from
her face, with a revulsion, that she simply meant he was
young. She stood shining at him with that cheap comfort,
and it added, on the spot, thirty years to his life. She
walked him away with her, however, as if she had given
him now the key to patience.

Not an expert, but I feel that that was more of an analogy/image to give what they were aiming for. The real objective is not 60fps, the real objective is to use the GPU to do tasks that it was designed for. Plain and simple. This however, gives the user a smoother experience, and 60 fps generally gives a noticeable difference.
Ah yes. With Jenkins anything can be customized and made better, you just need this plugin...

To be fair, it was very stable, though UI was awful. Nowadays we use GitLab (selfhosted) and love it.

Norfolk southern runs behind my house and I see semi trailers on top of rail cars all the time. I see UPS trailers on trains almost every time I watch one.

Refrigerated semi trailers are common on trains too. I’m guessing they have food in them.

While I agree that noone should need to flash their device just to have basic sane privacy, I think saying "for people who have too much time" is pretty insulting for us that do care about our privacy and invested that time.

Again it shouldn't be necessary to do this and I won't expect anyone to do this, but I don't see why you have to insinuate that only people with too much time would do this...
FYI - the ad industry's future is uncertain, given the advent of ad-blockers & privacy laws. Selling phones with a proven OS, on the other hand, is a straightforward model.

If the EU's fines are laughable, I think the status quo will persist. But if Google is beholden to Apple & phone makers who use the very OS it provides & builds, cutting others off and owning the hardware isn't far fetched. Why do you think HTC was acquired?
Mindlessly because you said so. You could've just agreed with him and be thoughtful.

Huh, TIL. I do recall some old devices from Nokia using JVM, but never realized that the IME is probably more powerful than those old phones!
You can also prepend 'outline.com/' to bypass the paywall.
Note that computing the SVD of an m*n matrix is O(mn^2) with m<=n.

So never try to do this for large square matrices. (Just like you should never compute the inverse of a large matrix).

Even for large non-square matrices, computing the SVD can be prohibitively expensive.
Ask HN: How do you describe yourself?
For many of us, it's hard to describe ourselves. What's our 'title'. I wonder how you describe yourself?
i taught myself c by prototyping programs in qbasic and then converting them to c. nice language, and for their time, the integrated help files were some of the best i've seen.
Did you go straight from the state of chaos to learning engineering to Google, or there were incremental steps of employment in between? What are some key factors in the process? Stories like yours are very inspiring and I strive to think what can we as a society do to replicate those. Thank you!
There is a comment in this thread that explains this very well.
1) So the average CPU can do arroung several GFLOPS, the GPU however, even the integrated, can do some TFLOPS. S
2) CPUs have syncronization primitives, re-ordering, execution permissions, all sorts of besides the task ops they have to enforce. GPUs for the most part do not care about any of that.
From 1 and 2, you could spending 16ms classically rendering a web page, or spend 4ms rendering the page and 12ms on idle.
From an energy standpoint, it's the same if not arguably better. (I'm not an expert but I think for simple and over repetitive shaders and the batching implemented, it is actually logical)
That's not really n issue. You can always compared normalized versions of the name.
I know my post will also come off as smug here, but is the solution to perceived gatekeeping really tone policing?
I haven’t played too much with VSTs beyond a proof of concept for logic tools. However I have been doing plenty of realtime processing! It’s great: it integrates seamlessly with the C ABI—I wrote my own core audio binding (though there is already on on crates) to get to know the API, and I was far more restricted by the poor documentation than the FFI itself.

But, rust has everything you need: find-grained control over memory and ownership, inline assembly and intrinsics (I haven’t attempted autovectorization yet), bindings to common audio formats, and excellent parallelization. The datastructures are extremely expressive, especially if you come from a C background; so far I really just want better VLA support, which is mostly annoying to work around (you have to manually poke the values into memory at the correct offset in an unsafe block).

I did find that tokio-rs wasn’t suitable as I had hoped for realtime work with an async/future api and fell back onto ringbufs locked with mutexes. The good news is you can wrap that in futures itself and have a great async api that does its work eith shared memory, minimizing the viable races.

Rust will definitely be a player in the audio workstation world; right now you’ll be implementing the bindings yourself, but you can go out and write plugins today so long as the ABI is C.

Define "soon".

The statement "Fourty years of exposure to Flouride in the drinking water will turn our children into communists." is much better defined except for the "communists" part. But we could define a "communist test". If the children exposed to forty years of Fluoride in the drinking water fail pass the "communist" test it is clearly false.

Still, within the short time of the debate you won't find any meaningful answer to these questions thus limiting their utility severely.

At least when I fenced foil in high school in the late 90s there was a move called the flick that involved whipping the foil over the opponents shoulder and having it bend sufficiently to depress the tip on his back. Fencers that mastered this technique dominated our level (perhaps Olympians could counter it, I don't know) but I don't think it has any analog in terms of real dueling. It seems like the flick is a quite good analogy for the debate 'spreading' the article talks about.
Obviously. Question is how soon.
Tried something similar back when I was a student. The leaning back angle doesn't seem to work over longer than a few minutes, when you're trying to focus.

Sure and we've seen over-rides before due to misuse of flagging. In this case it seems to me that flagging has been used as a mega-downvote because people don't want a negative story on Shopify, that misuse is bad for the community and silences people who act within the norms and are upvoting articles they want to see.

> Telemetry is a recent obsession of the industry and as trust declines this is the equivalent of stuffing a cigarette in the mouth of your customers and stealing their passports.

Wow that went way over the top. Who knew Telemetry is carcinogenic or was considered stealing. Honestly it's hard to take the anti-telemetry crowd seriously when these types of arguments are used.
It makes me so unhappy that this is what things have come to. They make hardware that we can't control, there's no real alternative to buy, and now we gotta rely on volunteers and wiki pages to give instructions that might work but who knows you might brick it.

I wish there was more widespread outrage over ME and PSP and "trusted computing" so we could collectively tell them to stop selling this garbage. There's so much cynicism out there, though, that I think the public would hardly bat an eye if they knew that all hardware since 2008 or so has secret backdoors. We're just used to this kind of abuse and control.

I haven't bought a new computer since 2007 because I don't want backdoored hardware. If it really is For My Own Safety, as they advertise it to us, then let me control it!
How about a foreign (to the US) power? Imagine the kind of damage they could do if they were sitting on a 0-day. North Korea, for example, could steal financial data to fund their nuclear program, or manipulate critical infrastructure. As a system designer, I'd want to mitigate that kind of threat, and I don't know if I have the knobs and switches available to me to do that with this design.
I was aware of my synesthesia for quite some time (numbers and letters had their colors for as long as I can remember, it also extends to some sound/taste/color combinations). I don't remember how it occurred to me that it's not how everyone perceives the world, must have been early in my childhood.

But I have never heard of this number form concept so thank you for unlocking it for me. My number form for natural numbers is quite smooth, like a tangent line progressing just slightly for numbers 0 - 20, then becoming almost vertical at >70. Of course the numbers (or, to be precise, digits, but sometimes they blend) have their colors. Negative numbers progress horizontally along the x axis to the left.

Does visualizing time also fall under a number form phenomenon? Or is it described by some other term? I'd love to learn more! Thinking of a year I see a disc, slightly tilted so winter months are a bit lower than summer, the time progress is counter-clockwise and I am constantly oriented spatially on this disc. So I always go "left" and "uphill" in the spring, and "downhill" in autumn, and past months are not simply "behind" me, I can point to them in space (so now, in October, January is more in front and slightly to the left, April is across on the other side, November just down the road, etc. To make things more fun every month has its color). Thinking about time brings me there just like thinking about walking around my real neighborhood brings awareness of how am I positioned in relation to my house. Thinking on smaller time scales just zooms it in and positions me like I was observing the edge of the disc from the inside (so weeks progress to the left as well; thinking about any week in a year makes me spatially aware of where I am in relation to the year).

Just trying to describe it for the first time makes it seem strange to me, while it was something that simply always has been with me all the time, and I half expect you to tell me that, in fact, this is basically how everyone perceives time.

tl;dr: is there a separate term to describe mapping time to space, or more generally applying spatial awareness to other phenomena / prceiving time using other senses?
"Work in an exciting/agile fast-paced, dynamic environment",

Or they're just randomly cut-and-pasting whatever fast-sounding lingo they've seen in other ads.

Either way, it's a negative tell.
I'll tackle this.

- If they are expected to do 5-10 times the amount of software development as a regular new programmer, are they going to be offered 5-10 times the regular salary?

- Are all the other programmers at the company dramatically more effective than a regular programmer? Most competent people don't think of themselves as being exceptionally better than their peers, so if that's the case, they probably shouldn't bother.

- Or, are the other programmers at the company just regular ones, and the incoming new person is expected to be more effective than all of them combined from day one? That's a lot of pressure to put on one person. What was the answer to the salary question again?

- Many people who have developed exceptional skills in one area have neglected other areas. What types of personal problems is the company willing to tolerate for the privilege of hiring rock stars? Is alcoholism okay? How about being sexually creepy towards co-workers, due to lack of social skill practice? How about body odor? Not that all exceptionally skilled programmers have these types of problems, but you have to make a trade off somewhere. Really, how much are you paying them? Because someone who is 5 or 10 times more productive than a normal programmer without being a socially impossible weirdo is likely already in a job paying far more than what hr had in mind for this position.

Is there no place for a programmer who's just basically competent and professional and will work for an average salary? Do you want to drive those programmers away?

This is because American high school LDers are competing against each other, seeking out the most competitive circuit/format possible. Your reasoning goes a bit like this:

> the American rugby national team is really bad, probably because American football players (e.g. gridiron football) aren't good either.

From my understanding, including one person I know who represented the US two years ago and now does parli for Yale, high school worlds is not a venue for people (edit: people= American high school students) who do it because they are otherwise competitive.

That said: in college worlds and parli ... worlds, former LDers have done really well (e.g. when that is the competitive venue they go after).
It's true that rates of enslavement have decreased since the end of the Civil War.
