I'm not really a woodworker but I have probably seen every Mathias Wandel video since his first marble machines. I wonder how much time I have spent over the last years watching his videos. It's gotten to a point where I know all technical jargon he uses like dovetail joints, tenon and mortises and whatnot. My brother is an actual woodworker but I can't talk to him about it, because I only know the English terminology and he knows the Dutch slang because our mother language is Dutch...
As I understand it, the history of water rights in CA, and indeed in the US west generally, is a history of lack of markets; it's all been political maneuvering by various factions to make sure they aren't the ones who go short when the water gets divided up. There has never been an actual market to allocate the limited supply of water to the highest value uses. If there were, agriculture in much of CA wouldn't exist, since much of CA is a desert and it makes no sense to do agriculture in a desert when you can ship in food from elsewhere at lower cost.
Anger is chemical and not psychological and will pass. See Sapolsky's discussion of the Limbic system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAOnSbDSaOw

When I am angry I am self aware enough to wait until the chemicals are gone in order to discuss things. I don't think this is unhealthy in any way. In fact, I usually don't like the feeling of anger and look forward with happiness to the calm that will follow. It is interesting that the original source of anger becomes resolved once the chemicals are gone. I found it interesting that the Inuits do the same thing.
Seem more of a burden for the vet masturbating the bull and sticking his hand in the cow's vagina, to be honest :-D
Glad to hear you churned for a reason other than the service!

We believe companies should find a way to give back to the open source software they use. We're actively thinking over how best to do this. Thanks for the links!
It’s agriculture. Personal conservation should be incentivized, but unless we make radical changes the price will have to go up as water trends towards scarcity. For people who conserve, their rates should increase more slowly.

But we have to address agriculture and stop externalizing the true cost to the environment. What agriculture has accomplished is astonishing, but it’s just not sustainable in any number of dimensions.
That is not the meaning of "hacker" that attaches to security hackers and the EFnet #hack scene.

If only there were trailer parks or other cheaper housing options around here. Fuck NIMBY's.
Not only am I skeptical that this will ever happen, a look at how the ICC actually works shows that it has no relation to any ideal of holding everyone to some standard. Just because someone created an organization called the International Criminal Court doesn't mean that it has any connection to fairness or that any reasonable nation ought to subordinate itself to them.
Paper towels are not flushable!
It's not a seed round if you're making $600,000 a year.

You could stop all development, fire every expensive person apart from some basic cheap support staff, and be wildly rich in a couple of years just from that.
So it took me a while to find the actual algorithm. As far as I can tell it is here:

https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/blob/dev/xxh3.h

Is there a description of the algorithm, the C-source is not only highly optimised, it is also highly #ifdefed to take care of various scenarios. So the file is not optimised for readability.

Apple and Google's duopoly is natural, no question about it. That doesn't mean we should ignore how they use it.

Google is rightfully scolded for requiring that users sign away their information and following their every move (often using dark patterns).

Apple should be put on hot coals too for how they are abusing their position. Spotify is an excellent illustration because Apple is both the platform and a competitor. I don't understand why an Apple consumer would support their anticompetitive stance.
Main difference I see is that Popcorn Time tries to replicate the complete Netflix experience, i.e. displays a catalog of movies and shows you can watch. This thing is just a web torrent client that knows how to download videos in order and start playing them as soon as possible.
I think a shorter way to express the concept is that there are "known unknowns" - risks we can quantify, and "unknown unknowns" - risks we can't quantify. When people become aware of the possibility of the latter, they may panic. Of course, sometimes that proves to be the right decision and sometimes not. There is no "rational" solution.
Seems to be coming a few now. At least locally there's several li-ion options in the 2k-3k USD range, most with 30-40km range. Quite affordable here for most.
Generally employers figure out who left the bad review and threaten legal action to the person who made the review. It isn't Glassdoor that removes the review but the person who wrote it.
This compiles to C, which (I think) means it should be able to FFI to it fairly easily?
>Only pregnant cows produce milk.
Not true, a cow will produce milk many months after she gives birth.

Cows naturally get into heat, the behavior of the cow changes, she will start jumping on other cows and it is dangerous to be around it, you have to bring a bull or have it inseminated.

I know this because I was raised at a low tech farm, I am not aware of procedures or reasons to make a cow get pregnant more often but maybe this exists somewhere, if this was true probably it would be used for getting more meat not more milk,

Anyway there is no rape involved, if is artificial inseminated then it is a medical procedure, similar how fixing cows birth problems that involved doctors pushing their full arms in the cow is a medical procedure to save the cow.
The one other thing that could be a good restock is rice. A solid restock on quality rice is something that could be really valuable for folks who cook Asian food regularly, and it's something that people generally make on a pretty regular basis, but may not have a good local store that has quality options for.
> The US should be prosecuting our own war criminals. Unfortunately, we haven't been doing a good job of it.

That's reason enough to want ICC intervention. You can't just denounce the ICC and then declare in the same post that alternatives aren't going to work. "Nobody holds the US accountable" isn't really an acceptable scenario.
Just the fact that it's normal now to join meetings via dial-in or Skype, and virtually all document generation in white-shoe services firms (law/banking/consulting/etc) is an email- and shared folder-based process.

I can think of several examples each of engineering leads, professional investors, very senior investment bankers, and biglaw partners with whom I've worked in the last 2-3 years who work remotely from a place too far to commute daily to NY/SV/etc. I don't have a holistic view of how new this is across industries, but it definitely feels different from how it used to be when I was an investment banking associate in NYC a decade ago.
To add - its one of the few places that are for "people" first and foremost without also involving alcohol.

People are using it for reflected DDoS attacks. This has resulted in DNS providers scoping ANY to the point of breaking it. So even without removing it, it was horribly broken and returned inconsistent results.

What do you mean "instead"? More concealment (via blackmail) obviously means more coercion (in the sense relevant to blackmail), because the concealment only occurs if the coercion is acceded to. They can only go up or down together. But I was commenting on an implicit debate between someone who believes that legal blackmail will lead to more concealment, and someone else who believes blackmail will lead to less concealment.
Yes. Dr. Atkins was singing this tune in 1989. Then after having several heart attacks, he died 14 years later of another heart attack.
It's necessary (or at least standard practice) in a lot of dairy farming regions. Consuming lots of dairy is typically a high-latitude thing.

You could only have dairy farms in places that don't have a winter, but that would be pushing things even further toward the whole "put all the cattle in Californian factory farms and then burn lots and lots of oil to ship it around in trucks" thing, which is arguably even less optimal.
I was super confused too--to this day I get annoyed when I see apps that never updated their icons to circles, rendered as a square-in-a-circle with >50% whitespace. And now less than a year later, we're going back to squares??

But looking more closely, it seems like this is for Play Store icons, not the APK icons on your phone. Which makes me go... meh, whatever.

I was trying to reconcile this: suppose Socrates was a dick and actually did get pleasure out of annoying people -- and the pointing out of the flaws was actually the side-effect. Would his execution somehow have been justified?

I feel that while OP is correct - PagerDuty hasn't changed much - engineering my own on-call system is the last priority of pretty much any business. It's one of the things you don't want to do yourself.

Additionally, PagerDuty works extremely well and I can't think of any additional features we need right now.

Dry wiping not going to do it, difference is night and day. Bidet is the best option. BUT, cities can force manufacturers, one way or another, to design a truly flush-able version.
Why would it be harder to implement then simply iterating over the known types and catenating the results of those queries.

Say we have A, CNAME and MX type records in our system. If we see ANY, let's convert it up-front into into three queries: A, CNAME and MX. Combine the results and that's it.

Never in the history of mankind have we had the ability to go halfway around the world in one day, or hold a conversation with someone halfway around the world with mere seconds of latency.

Thanks for the comment :)

I am proud and honestly reading all these comments of people like you saying awesome stuff and also saying this inspires them makes me even prouder :)
Good point, but from what I understand, the big issue is the type rating. Apparently, aicraft with very different names like 767/777/787 and A330/A340, share a type rating so they only require "simplified" training.

Maybe a pilot can chime in on what the real training is like when switching between aircraft of the same type rating and how a manufacturer or the FAA decide on what constitutes a new type.
Github of compiler (not examples) or it didn't happen.
As someone who has some apps on both stores but doesn't have a dedicated team working on app store listings, I often find myself wondering why Google and Apple, two of the biggest tech companies in the world who created these platforms, stores, and the associated technologies completely from scratch, can't help me out just a little bit on icons and screenshots.

It's an absolute nightmare to develop on an iPhone X and try to get screenshots onto the store. You're required to have 5.5" screenshots, which means an iPhone 8 Plus. The guidelines specifically say your app has to be designed to work on all screen sizes, but I can't submit screenshots taken on my iPhone X or XS and submit them to the store. I have to resize them, which means cutting off the top and bottom to make it wide enough to fit the resolution of the iPhone 8 Plus. Apple, a genius of a tech company, cannot figure out how to display screenshots from an iPhone X on an iPhone 8, but they can show iPhone 8 screenshots on an iPhone X. My app is location-based, so screenshots have to be taken on-site... but I don't own an iPhone 8 Plus. I own an iPhone XS and an iPhone 8. But I can't use the screenshots from either without editing them to chop off the top and bottom.

Google gets it a bit better in that you can upload any screenshots you want of any size or resolution, but they require a separate icon upload. And while Apple's icons need to be 1024x1024, Google needs them to be exactly 512x512. Again, a genius tech company cannot figure out on their own website how to resize an image before it gets saved.

Not to mention Apple wants promo videos in portrait mode, even though iMovie does not support portrait mode videos. But Google wants your promos hosted on Youtube, which prefers landscape videos. So now every promo has to be shot and edited twice.

Changing from a round icon to a square icon is the least of my worries.

You probably have a standalone traditional bidet adjacent to your toilet. I agree, that probably wouldn't be sanitary in a public toilet. People would use the bidet as a toilet and the stream of water would be contaminated.

I think most people today are referring to the toilet seat attachment style bidet when they say bidet. The kind big tech companies like Google have been known to install on their office toilets.

Those seem more likely to be sanitary in a public toilet, but I also think they're likely to be vandalized and broken/stolen.

> Do you really want powerful authoritarian countries to take over international organizations and hold democracies "accountable".

...exactly how do you think Pax Americana works?

The fact that American citizens are not actually forced but instead misled to cheer war crimes is not really relevant to those who are killed as a result, so I'm not sure how the "authoritarian" part is relevant here.

> I think the billing needs to be a flat rate for everyone that is high enough to cover all water delivery costs, based on size of property, and then you get a credit if your usage is below median for similar families/farms/industries and you get an equal surcharge if you're above that.

Based on your anecdote, it sounds like it also ought to factor in (i.e. raise/lower the threshold based on) the number of residents at the property. Of course, that would introduce extra complexity in calculating the median, but I’m sure the formula’s derivation is straightforward given property, residence, and usage data.

Great ideas!
Cute; I remember writing something like this in school that would display semester progress as a percentage out to a few decimal places so you could watch it tick up during a particularly boring class.

Agreed, this discussion always comes with absurd assumptions.

Classical music will never be the most popular music, just like classic literature will never be on the best sellers list every year. That doesn't mean it isn't popular.

I ultimately became a lover of classical music for a similar reason. Most music today is so generic and bland - you can hear every song before you've finished listening to it.

> the presence of ads is proof positive that I'm being spied on

There is such a thing as non-targeted advertising. An app developer can solicit money from sponsors to have their ads included in the app and displayed at particular times without sending any data back to either the developer or the advertiser. This is how advertising worked back before every app started demanding a continuous Internet connection even for basic non-network functions.

> Will the output to readable C always be available in the future?

Yes
Oh man, a typo. Lol. I meant 0xAAAAAAA5... sorry about that.

Lemme muse on the concept: "multiplying by 0xAAAAAAA5" is that the binary is 1010,1010,1010...0101.

A multiplication at its core, is equivalent to a LOT of bitshift-left and add. Multiplying by "1000" is the same as bitshift left by 4. Multiplying by "1010" is bitshift left by 4 + bitshift left by 2.

This is why its important to multiply by an odd number: all those bitshifts lose the top-most bit. You only keep the topmost bit if the bottom-most bit is set.

So multiply by 0xAAAAAAA5 is the same as "bitshift left 31 + bitshift left 29 + bitshift left 27 ... + bitshift left 2 + bitshift left 0", all at once.

Addition itself is a great "mixing" instruction, its an XOR innately with the potential for carries. The carries make the XORs far more complicated to analyze. The 31st bit after all of those bitshifts are not only the XOR of a bunch of bits... but also the "propagated carry bit".

The topmost bit of any multiplication operation is very complex, while the bottom most bit is always the original bit (bit0 is only affected by bit0 from the input). That's why a rotation + 2nd multiply is needed.
It's not just Germany. It's human nature. Look at the current media and political environment in the US.

Yes, although even here, small is not that very small:

> The main focus is about short keys of random lengths, with a distribution of length roughly in the 20-30 bytes area, featuring occasional outliers, both tiny and large.

I have been playing around trying to write interpreters and compilers for a hobby, and though I
haven't taken stats, but I suspect that in source code, identifiers half that length are more than twice as common.

It make me wonder if compilers are better of using old-school byte-by-byte hashes rather than new ones optmised for parallelism. (Then again, the hash function probably makes no real difference to speed once in a real-world compiler that does optimisation).

Super quick napkin math on YC's investment. Many of these assumptions will be wrong.

YC investment: $120,000 [0]
YC shares: 1,050,000 [1]
PD market cap: $1.3 billion [2]
PD share price: $20.23
YC investment value: $21.25 million
YC ROI: 175x

This is a ~4x return on the S10 batch. In that same batch you have Stripe, which looks like it could be a 3000x+ return for YC.

Notes

[0] - This could be less, I don't remember the dates YC started messing with this.

[1] - The 3 founders hold 13,670,067 shares, or 91% of 15M shares. I assume YC has 7% of 15M.

[2] - I assume their Sep 2018 raise valuation as the price. I'm not confident the public will value this the same.
I grew up there, I'm a Peruvian immigrant and just don't understand why people think Miami is good for tech. Solid engineers just move to the Bay Area; who wants to keep living in Miami which has such a cultural aversion to education, a major machismo problem, and frequent flooding.

If you want to work with LATAM, hire Latinx engineers in the Bay (there are lots of us) and hire tech people in Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil. Lots of talented folks in all those places.
Glad to see them moving to iOS design guidelines roughly. I imagine originally they had to choose something different to avoid copying, but glad that is now less of concern.
Over the past two decades, yes. But humans have been in California for a lot longer than two decades. Over all the time humans have been in California (which is basically since the last Ice Age at least, possibly longer since we don't know exactly when it was first settled by Native Americans), what we're seeing now is probably well within the range of variation. We can't know for sure because we don't have 12,000 years worth of records to tell us.

Which means we don't have the basis for saying that what's been happening in California over the past couple of decades is an emergency. It might just be part of the long term cost of choosing to live in California.
