your comment is a little hard to follow, but here's a few specific responses or additions.

> The wider ecosystem effects are not really known.

that's not really true. it is pretty well known that there are major detrimental effects of fish farms. of course we are still learning more and more, but we know at least something. salmon farms tend to take out good stuff from the ocean (fish) and return bad stuff (disease, waste, genetic changes, etc.).

> There are species we don't know exist going extinct, almost certainly, because of commercial fishing.

there are species we know about going extinct due in part to commercial fishing. for example, the southern resident orcas have been struggling heavily due to commercial fishing, pollution, poisoning, capture, river damns, salmon farms, and more. there are very clear actionable things that can be done to save them, but none are even close to being acted upon. it is possible the population there has passed a point of no return such that that particular population will go extinct. they have struggled to even birth new orcas, and due to captures 30-50 years ago, they don't have the leadership they are used to. their behavior has already began to showcase how hard it is for them to even find salmon, as the normally tight knit pods have been seen breaking up to find salmon. there was a month in 2018 where almost none of the pod was seen for an entire month by whale watchers and scientists, an event that hasn't happened in decades or ever since they've started being observed.

I wonder if there's a product or market for those who want a Mini core but don't want the dongles visible (ie, make a breathable ITX/DTX box but you put the Mac Mini, dongles and peripherals inside).

This would be my choice over a hackintosh for parents or other family.

Sounds like something that could be 3D printed or
Still, I disagree, the mainstay of Tragedy of the Commons is about resource management through regulation, which does not apply well to oceans plastics. The "Water Pollution" example provided is about water management for the purposes of irrigation, and pollution of groundwater that needed for said irrigation. Ocean plastics could be different, if its just the systematic degradation of an ecosystem, orthogonal to resource management interests.
Look at nuxt.js you get a funding update after you npm install it
The Dunning-Kruger effect is rampant in the comments of "tech news" websites, particularly when it comes to complex subjects that people want to pretend to understand.

Objectively false information is often upvoted to the top, while the people trying to point out why that information is verifiably incorrect are buried in downvotes.

The fact that quantum computing is something that self-proclaimed "futurists" have latched themselves to guarantees that it will be even worse when that particular topic is being discussed.
Open offices are in the best interest of executives, not companies
Strong disagree. I started learning machine learning back in 2010, before neural networks really took off. The understanding of where the field was before and why DNNs were useful advancement puts me way ahead of peers who don't understand what problems they're solving. I have an appreciation for the ways that those problems can still creep back into neural network research, despite them apparently being a black box to many researchers.
That was copied from failed Google interview BTW :-)

To me the main problem is that I'm always afraid to put a 5, who can not check manuals? ;-)

I'm also more and more of the opinion that (impact of projects) is more important than (current skills).
Both have a Quick onset... id say a rocket. With changa eg + hamalas its more slow onset but more powerfull. Someone described 5-meo-dmt to me as power/maskoline and changa as love/feminine and i have the same feeling about it.
Sounds like UB to me! I’ll have to take a look. It really depends on the details.

Firefox has so many great features and yet I find myself not using it as my main browser for a simple reason: New windows open twice as fast in Safari and Chrome.

I'm opening a lot of windows because I'm not a fan of tabs. So Firefox feels extremely sluggish to me even though the actual rendering and JavaScript execution is anything but sluggish.

I'm not even sure if Firefox windows open so slowly for a reason or if it's just a really badly designed animation.

Getting an external enclosure effectively doubles the cost of adding discrete graphics in some instances. That's a laughable solution.
From the article:

"C is probably still a better choice for those cases: It’s more difficult to find someone who can implement a Rust compiler than a C compiler.

But Rust seems usable in any project where C++ is a viable language."

Ah, I had missed that! Thank you, that's very helpful to know. I always learn something new every day here.
Depending on how small your "town" is, if these people damaging their vehicles are locals and not out-of-towners, I'd say they deserve a lot of the blame: they should know about this road by now. Out-of-towners, of course, I wouldn't blame the same way as I wouldn't expect them to know.

Now if by "my town" you really mean a city, then I might be expecting too much of the drivers.
If you eat fish you're a pescatarian not a vegetarian.
Personally I enjoyed my PhD, but I watched others get hurt, so I wanted to add some words of warning.

It's a risky choice, unless you're very good. You should go in with your eyes open, knowing that you'll be lucky to get an academic job afterwards, especially if you're in a 'pure' field without many applications. For industrial jobs, you'll probably have to re-train through self-study. After a maths phd, doing so may come easily, but it will also take effort.

You'll spend three to seven years (dependent on your location and ability) working on an extremely specialised topic. There is no guarantee that you'll finish: circumstances beyond your control like your relationship with your advisor can derail your progress regardless of your ability. There is also a 'point of no return' after a year or two where it becomes very painful to cut your losses and walk away with nothing.

Doing a maths PhD could open some interesting doors. It will improve your employability, but it's an inefficient way to do so. The only good reason to do one is that you really like your research topic and want to spend years immersing yourself in it.

As bulgarin I don't see anything sad in this video. This happens everywhere in the world, everyone is going to big cities for better perspectives. In some countries the depopulation of rural areas is happening faster. It's how the world works nowadays.

The model's pretty broken now, when anyone can look up listings on realtor.com or Redfin, and get customized alerts based on preferences. I mean what special skills do agents even bring on the buy side? I can mediate things with the seller myself, thank you very much.

On the sell side, an experienced agent can be much more of a help. Even there, we used Redfin the last time we sold, and the difference in commission was a full 2% when compared to a more conventional broker.

Even worse, the upgrades are insultingly overpriced. $100 for 32GB of flash to get a Fusion drive, and $700 (again, extra) to get a 1TB when you can get a nice Samsung for $350 in that size. Ridiculous.
Agreed. I think HN in general is too quick to dismiss the potential dangers of psychedelics. I know at least a couple people who have essentially lost their minds as a result of frequent psychedelic use. It's pretty terrifying to see someone slowly become more paranoid delusional and incoherent when they once were an intelligent and charismatic friend.
Asking "how many 3 digit numbers are there where each digit of the number only appears once?" is nearly a mathematically identical problem but without the fake backstory.

Being able to go from some constructed story to a math problem is a skill that can be tested elsewhere (and really, should be assumed if someone clearly has proficient enough numeracy to do combinatorics) Questions should be testing one thing as isolated as possible, not the same things repeatedly.

They spend all their free time on interview prep websites. It is very easy to pass courses in India (except a select few colleges), so they spend next to no time on courses like computer architecture, networking etc and focus entirely on DS and Algorithms. It is quite effective though.
By rooting and deleting apps , or any other modification of the /system partition, you are making it impossible to apply any patch released by the manufacturer (it is a binary delta of the volume).

Consider disabling the apps; if the manufacturer doesn't allow disabling the app through Settings, you can always do it via adb. When you disable the app, the system will ignore it and behave as if it wouldn't be there. You can't get any additional benefit from the deleting, you won't gain any additional free space, as no app can write to /system partition for the above reason anyway.
From the last 3 or so versions Firefox performance on my retina mac is indistinguishable from chrome (from a humam perspective not looking at ram cpu usage), so I'm very happy to be using firefox full time once again. At some point I knew it was time to close firefox when the fans started blowing at max speed. Does not happen any more.
Or maybe let's talk about the root issue here and not just try to use social media and HN in the place of formal support paths.
Both storage types will have comparable prices at 128GB, and their cost per GB will decrese at different rates as you increase storage capacity. It's not fair to compare pricing between different storage capacities across different storage types, that is why I have shared 1TB drives from the same vendor.

Also, a cheap 128GB SSD is way less than the price you have suggested, even a 120GB Kingston SSD is only $20.

From personal experience, invest in good (for you) resources to learn the language. I had two attempts, and it wasn't until I took "learning" seriously and purchased a book did Rust stick. My first attempt that has worked for all other languages, mostly by just reading docs and programming, was a massive headache.

That was years ago though, perhaps it's better now. All I know is after reading Programming Rust, I picked Rust up and it's been amazing. I love the language.
It recently dawned on me, in light of the Elastic / AWS battle, that Elastic's business model is kind of like GGG's 'free to play' game Path of Exile. Where the base game is free, but as you get more serious you end up spending money on quality of life things, stash tab upgrades and what not. That business model has proven to be very successful (in gaming), versus the buy once model with games like Diablo. Hopefully, by sharing that here doesn't result in a 'gray-at-the-bottom-comment'.
I bought a 48-core rig (Dual socket ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS w/ 2x Xeon E7-8890V4's) w/ a 10TB RAID5 array of 10800 RPM disks, 128GB DDR4 ECC, and a 1TB SSD for $5k...

Granted it was from some dude's homelab after he got laid off at Cray but still.

When you get up to that dollar amount I feel like there's just much sweeter shit out there.

One gripe is the thing is fucking massive and kinda unwieldy stuffed into a Coolermaster Cosmos II case...
The same thing is happening in the US. The big cities eat everything up, dominate politically, and basically don't care what happens to anyone else.

We need county-based voting, not population based voting in order to turn this around.
I think this is pretty great for anyone who's gone camping, not just ultralight. I've only gone car-camping, but I think it's a giant pain to have to deal with the ground tarp, the various poles, the rain cover and the numerous straps and ties that go along with it all.

This simplified design is great. Not needing a ground mat, the "bathtub" design of the bottom of the tent, the single top design with space to prevent condensation all seem super convenient without sacrificing a lot of functionality.

I love the fact there's a website dedicated to selling ripstop fabric as well. Not sure what I'd ever use it for as I don't sew, but I love that it's there.
true. OTOH, an eGPU would be connected by Thunderbolt 3, which offers basically the same max communication speed as 4 PCIe lanes.

and so i wonder: at what point does that communication speed limit the performance of such a set up? why do people normally plug high end graphics cards into a x16 slot? how good a GPU should be used in an eGPU housing before it's a waste of money? etc
One benefit that is repeatedly mentioned in the papers is the ability to do tail-call optimization, which is more or less impossible with compile-to-c interpretations, and mandatory for functional languages.
It is state level laws. NAR is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the US.

This lawsuit is interesting because as the article states... this is the first time a highly credible law firm has taken on the NAR. The courts are definitely a better place to fight because the lawmakers are easily influenced by powerful lobbyists.
The Litecoin Price Increase: A Fundamental Analysis
It would be a good change. In Atlanta, I assume many other large markets, we have more than a few flat fee brokers. however it doesn't escape from having the buyer using a realtor expecting their fee being paid by you the seller.

When I bought my last house I used the same realtor for the home sold and was able to get a reduced fees on my sale.
Agents should be guiding prospective property owners and helping them avoid mistakes. Unfortunately they are motivated by profit instead.
You can get a 128GB from OWC for $1679. I have used their RAM sticks for my old Mac Pro not once but twice (as prices came down) and they work great, and they will give you a credit for RAM you send back to them. That's not 256GB but it's also not $5200...
We are talking about Australia. They already essentially have a political committee that decides whether any given videogame is acceptable for import.
"word" for "16 bits" is not so much an anachronism as an Intel-Microsoftism.

I always assumed caching is a necessary evil if you want to speed things up.

I certainly feel like rendering views is rails is slower than I'd like it to be (talking about the rendering part alone), especially with partials.

How do you deal with views that pull dynamic data that produce a heavy query however?
What’s Killing U.S. Pedestrians? Streets That Weren’t Designed for Them
I'm from the UK where it works differently.

If you're a buyer, what does the realtor do? Do they sort the legal stuff? Or are you (/seller) paying 3% to find you a house?

How does the legal mechanics of this work, do realtors have an obligation to work in the interests of the person that engaged them, or the person that's paying them? Presumably its who engaged them, as they won't know who's paying them. Why then are they allowed to not show certain homes???
First impression: Looks interesting.

However:

You create a product that can gather a lot of information about me - what I look at every day, for how long, what data I subscribe to etc.

Yet you don't even bother with a privacy policy. It boggles my mind.

That's a no-go.

And if you add your privacy policy I won't use your product unless this data about me is not sold.

Personally I would prefer something that runs on my desktop and not in the cloud. I could still pay a yearly fee to receive software updates.
Then the tuition should be much lower than it is. Net, student tuition and state taxes at state universities are paying for a lot of research.
> three thousand times the human recreational dose

Dang.

Perhaps it is possible to die from an overdose of psychedelics, I stand corrected. However, it seems like you can technically overdose from anything after a certain amount. You can technically die from overdosing on potassium if you eat something like 1000 bananas in a day. What I meant is that you can't overdose, just like you can't from weed (even though, I'm sure, if you smoke 1000000 blunts you would). What I mean is that you're no way near something like heroin where the difference between death and bliss isn't much at all. You'd have to be pretty insane to die from overdosing on psychedelics.
So where can I obtain this? Legally?
The point is that the pgtune could and should force you to check the config options in documentation and it actually addresses your current setup. RTFM.

Values in the post are pretty arbitrary and useless as their comments in postgresql.conf used to be.

I am using PostgreSQL in production since 7.4 and the best source of performance tuning tips for me has been PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance by Gregory Smith. These days PostgreSQL wiki is pretty good as well.
Interesting part! Looks like Mini PCI-E is the common formfactor, but some come on a little USB dongle. Is that the version you're using?

Will it do voice/SMS? I haven't found any indicators either way.
To nitpick: almost everyone I've heard use this in casual conversation (who isn't nitpicking) uses "steep learning curve" as in physical analogy, e.g. bicycling to a goal, rather than describing a function plot. A "steep" path is harder going than a "flat" or "shallow" one.
Honestly, it can be depressing and confusing.

I equate it to being in the mind of a therapist. You're there in the moment, but you're not really there in the moment. You're watching people, thinking about who they are and why they are the way they are, observing behaviour, understanding the nuance of how they interact together.

It's interesting. Fascinating even from an academic standpoint. But life isn't academic. The beauty of life can only be experienced if you let yourself experience it.

My take is that life is ultimately about taking the chance to do interesting things when they crop up.
Of course it's almost 2x faster; it has 2x the cores. Meanwhile the single-core score is almost the same for both. I've never seen anyone try to put together a good breakdown on how various common workflows stack up, but I would bet that most benefit very little from the extra 4 cores.
Completely anecdotally, but I've noticed in other parts of the world, education is almost entirely rote memorization, whereas Western education stresses more critical thinking and creative thinking. This may be more useful when it comes to CS and other subjects.
Sorry but... what kind of evidence did you gather to make this post? It looks like a graph of similar/related languages and nothing else. I mean it's trivial to assume that assembly developers would gravitate toward C and not Javascript, but it's pure speculation.
Godot engine has this model. They are getting donations from patreon [1], enough to pay 2 people full time at the center of the project. Wikipedia is another project which is doing this very successfully.

But in general, those methods bring you much less money than if you were proprietary, because as you rightfully point out, most people are "freeloaders".

Apple has lost their minds. They know people will pay, though. They effed me on the Mac Mini with soldered on RAM and now they're effing me again with the price on the new Mini. But I'm not buying one.
Yeah, it's been a net-negative for me. I never use it for touchbary-stuff (I don't even know why I would) and it's worse than real buttons for everything else. The fingerprint reader's OK I guess but is far enough out of the way that it's barely faster than typing my password—it needs to be toward the bottom. I think the whole thing would have made more sense as an iOS/watchOS companion app for MacBooks. Would have addressed the "so... what do I do if I get used to touchbar stuff then am using an external keyboard for a while?" Though I'd probably still not have used it.

>> they offer the Mac Pro for that use case.

I'm not sure I buy this as an argument until the new Mac Pro is released.

Having said that, the Mac Pro is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people. I think a lot of people want something between a Mac Mini and a Mac Pro. Something that could be called Mac "Midi" that would allow for some commodity parts (ram, storage, gpu) to be used.

Not so fast. I had a bad LSD (and some marijuana) trip once and had flashbacks for 2 months. I would be going around my day and suddenly reality turned into a videogame or an evil simulation.

That was like 3 years ago, it has all passed now, never had flashbacks again and I'm glad I had that bad trip, because it showed me reality in a way that I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. But maybe if I had had a higher dose, or had been in a worse place in my life, I would have gone completely mad.

Depends on your market. If it's direct to consumer, you're basically in the same boat as shareware/freeware back in the day, and it's a model that _can_ work.

If your market is businesses, then no. There is no budget for donations at most businesses. There is a budget for _buying_ things.
Is the data frequently updated? If you have recency info maybe include that in the response.
I think LSD gives you that feeling of unity, that everything makes sense, and so, yes, you may feel enlightened by trivial stuff.

I don't think LSD puts ideas in your head, it just gives you a different perspective over the stuff that's already there.
So it's a silly idea to believe it'll enlighten you by itself, but if you've been reading poetry, philosophy, if you're in contact with nature it may help you see things you didn't see or realize before, which is enlightening.

I think that's one of the properties that help with depression/anxiety since it may help you deal with trauma or with inconsistencies in your own personality that you have repressed, ignored or just don't know how to deal with.
