I don't have a lot of data points, but comparing the Dutch railway system to the one in the UK, there is a very clear winner. The trains in the Netherlands have a fixed price and are rarely delayed or cancelled.

Also, the OV-chipkaart is great - you can use the same card on trains, trams, buses and underground across the Netherlands.
Why purposely go slow? Sometimes I take my time because I don't want to start sweating, but I don't think I've ever actually walked slowly anywhere.
The Moral Peril of Meritocracy
Exactly, it's not about the "blame" is some abstract sense, it's about the process that has to be permanent in order to keep the risk low. Different people already mentioned here a work of MIT Prof. Nancy Leveson

http://sunnyday.mit.edu/

An important quote from her book "Engineering a Safer World" section "Questioning the Foundations of Traditional Safety Engineering":

"Old Assumption

- Major accidents occur from the chance simultaneous occurrence of random events.

New Assumption

- Systems will tend to migrate toward states of higher risk. Such migration is predictable and can be prevented by appropriate system design or detected during operations using leading indicators of increasing risk."

So it's: either the organizations are themselves able to keep the risk from increasing (as quoted, that is even "predictable" and of course it "can be prevented") or there have to be the external influences in that direction.

In this case, the organizations themselves failed.
I second taking a look at Nim: https://nim-lang.org/

Some people will argue it isn't a contender for C though since it defaults to using garbage collection.
I've heard some day: "Watson is a brand name for IBM consulancy services". These people formulate what watson is for your specific business.
What you don't understand is there is a me now, currently, so this comment/argument is completely pointless and generally wrong.
>There's no need for them to use a webview

alll the major ones use some sort of a webview. uplay and origin are essentially electron apps (js + chromium wrapper). steam uses a webview for its community/store page.
inotify requires you to hold open fds for all the dirs and files you're watching iirc, so in repos that large, you'll be crushed by the file-descriptor-per-process limit.
>I've definitely noticed a much stronger emphasis on wowing visual effects in today's RPG's and a much weaker focus on the story and plot lines as was the case in past games.

This basically started in the PS3 era, where it appeared that the casual consumer's bar of visual graphics were raised high enough that pushed up development costs, to the point where developer couldn't cheaply churn out interesting, experimental titles.

Many people will cite the SNES and PS1 era as the golden age of JRPGs, but I think the PS2 era is under-appreciated. The SNES/PS1 era had a lot of classics, but the PS2 era was absolutely flooded with great, 8/10 JRPGs across all manner of series, benefiting from the gameplay/UI/UX refinements learned from the SNES/PS1 era and the improved hardware capabilities of the PS2. You had participation across all manner of series: from your popular Final Fantasies and Dragon Quests, to Tales, Persona, Star Ocean, Suikoden, Wild Arms, Breath of Fire, Arc the Lad and so on. You had a whole generation of new entrants like Radiata Stories, Shadow Hearts, Atelier, Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Xenosaga, .Hack, and many others. Not all of these were amazing, but most of these were at least very good, and in particular they were diverse while also being streamlined as some of the visual/gameplay "language" JRPGs become more firmly established. To me, this was the last great age of JRPGs.
Extended-Release Buprenorphine Effective for Moderate to Severe Opioid Use
Stop trying to interpret my opinions as facts. Are you seriously fooled into thinking what I'm saying here is even arguably fact? Of course it's my opinion...
I'll read that. I have no doubt that medium tends to have a dramatic effect, but I don't see how a medium that requires more attention (say a documentary) is worse than a medium that requires less (a podcast). Of course a book requires the most attention; but that also presents the largest obstacle -- especially if you don't have the time/energy to invest but are otherwise interested in the subject. I guess I don't disagree with you, I just disagree with the people that think not watching things is some sort of badge of honor.

I'd also point out that the Postman book was written in 1985, and TV/Movies then vs now with the choices and streaming and the improvement in the medium, I mean, it's not even close to the same thing.
That's your opinion. No matter how absolute you phrase it, it's not a fact.

And I've seen enough suffering and death to know that not everybody shares your opinion. I've seen people who, when they were healthy, held opinions just like yours beg for death when their time had come.

Count your blessings that you've not known pain, fear, or panic like the dying do.
There is a clinical trial associated with the anti-gingipain treatment described in OPs study that is going into phase 2 this month. If the authors are correct, people are going to be getting this treatment for alzheimers this year.
Five nines on a single CPU is hardly junk ;-)

But in 95, I'd guess it should be a 370.
Right now, you'd have to use OS-specific threading APIs for that (via foreign function declarations). I'm planning to add threading support to the standard library to make it easier to write cross-platform multi-threaded code. Also on the roadmap are basic concurrency primitives, like channels.

I haven't decided on what I will do in terms of a memory model: likely, I will add acquire/release constructs to the language, which should be enough to implement things like lockfree data structures as libraries.
There is more: the airframe of the 737 MAX is not in and of itself stable. Because of the forward positioning of the large engines, the MAX's airframe has a tendency to pitch up when accelerating. Boeing decided to fix this hardware problem with software. This is flawed design. In a multi-layer system, each layer should be intrinsically safe. The job of the higher layers should be to add functionality, not fix flaws in lower layers.
Ah so this is similar to Hasura.
Yes it does. You can subscribe to different events like node-mouseover, node-click, node-mouseout, idle, etc. You can also customize tooltips. See the docs here: https://github.com/ericdrowell/ElGrapho
I think it should be removed from everything except an owner-occupied primary residence. I see no social benefit to giving a tax advantage to long time landlords.
> [...] have you tried core.fsmonitor with the watchman hook?

I read the docs but it seems like it's not something I can enable on users' machines. Or maybe there is a way to take advantage of it even if it's not enabled? I really haven't looked much into it.

To clarify, my main motivation isn't to make my own prompt latency low (I don't even work on large git projects) but to make Powerlevel10k as good a product as possible. Git latency is a pain point for the existing users, so I work on optimizing it.

I also cannot rely on users to enable untracked cache even if their filesystem allows it. So gitstatusd performs tests similar to `git update-index --test-untracked-cache` in the background and builds its own untracked cache if tests pass. This makes for a good user experience with no setup or configuration fiddling.
Not an expert, but afaik you'd have to separate the buyback by 1 month from the wash sale for it to be valid/legal. You'd be kicking yourself if the price skyrocketed during that window.

Why do we concentrate on wealth inequality so much? What's wrong about some people being ultra rich and just well off? Would it be better if everyone we're equally poor?
I think Bitcoin and Ethereum will be around longer than Hacker News.
You didn't have to physically mod the Dreamcast console.

An exploit was found due to the console support for CD's with multimedia support, called MIL CDs. Initially a bootdisc was needed which you swapped with a CD-R, later all dumps of games were done in such a way that the exploit was bundled.

You are correct though in that some games used the full 1GB+ capacity of the GD-ROM format and assets had to be removed/compressed in some cases.
How do the builders know what is important to build unless those who are suffering can vote for solutions to their ills?

Thats my argument for funneling resources to the poor: so that entrepreneurs can earn revenue fixing poor people’s problems.

Or (and this is a reason to use markets) so entrepreneurs can earn revenue fixing the problems that entrepreneurs encounter when trying to fix poor people’s problems.
>I’ve heard flossing may help prevent alzheimers, due to fighting gum disease.

I've heard flossing is only peddled by floss companies, with no real studies to recommend it.

Not sure the jury is out:

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-36962667
That is correct. WebGL outperforms HTML5 Canvas 2d context, and HTML5 Canvas 2d context outperforms SVG. With WebGL, you are loading up the vertices of all the nodes and edges into the GPU, and they stay there. All the transformations like panning and zooming happen on the GPU. El Grapho uses picking for hit detection via ConcreteJS, so hit detection is nearly instantaneous for any number of nodes and edges, i.e. millions of them.
RISC-V has compressed instruction subset that reduces code size 25-30%.
From a tax perspective, sure. If you bought any time before the fall of 2017, and sold any time in 2018, it's pretty easy to have realized a gain in 2018.
Memory Fragmentation: your worst nightmare
Certainly agree, regarding the PS2 era! Having the chance to play a remastered version of Persona 4 on the Vita, for me, was justification enough for buying the handheld.
I like the emphasis on simplicity. I like the functions, the namespaces, the customizability of allocators, and more. Much respect to the author for creating Muon and sharing it.

What sets Muon apart from all other languages that I've personally tried is that Muon seems to have chosen a unique indentation approach. First, there is a double-syntax for blocks, because Muon requires block indents with significant whitespace (akin to Python) and simultaneously requires block open/close braces (akin to C). Second there is a free choice of tabs or spaces (but not both) and simultaneously a meta-markup line that a developer can put at the top of a file that enables mixing tabs and spaces.

IMHO these kind of whitespace choices seem small at first, yet eventually make open source development more difficult when teams make different choices, and when teaching examples make different choices. I'm a big proponent of `rustfmt`, `gofmt`, and similar tooling that makes it easy to align diverse teams from many groups.
Of course.

You can short established coins like BTC and ETH.

There are also so called "flip seasons" where you throw money at random small cap altcoins and flip them 30-200% higher over the course of a month. These happen whenever BTC settles down and consolidates before plunging to news lows.
By that arguement Apple should disallow all Appa. Any app could be a scan.

To me it seemed obviously overhyped. Having worked in the machine learning/AI field back in the 90s all the claimed capabilities of Watson didn't seem credible.
>you basically feel better but actually prolong the disease and accelerate it somewhat.

That might be totally fine if the effects of the disease the plaques fight are not as bad as the disease they cause -- e.g. the "prolonged" disease is not as bad as Alzheimer.
Yes. I pay my taxes, and I suspect many other people do, too. Tax compliance in the US is generally pretty high.

I also don't steal books from the library, even though I'm pretty sure I could get away with it.
Yes. Extra typing is not a huge drain, I agree, but it is a minor one. Shorter is better until it impacts readability. Visual noise is a thing.

Code is read much more often of course. You may argue you can read a fifteen-page book as fast as a ten-pager, but it's pretty clear that's not the case.

Of course tools and inference change the balance, but even so I avoid putting code into the the kiln until the design is fully understood and at least satisfactory. And that can take a few revisions.
I'm am sorry to hear that. I don't know about companies, but cancer screening with machine learning is a very active topic in academia at least. Other topics include outcome prediction, and analysis of treatment alternatives.
That's a bizarre bigotry. Christianity teaches of heaven and the second coming, and also that Jesus heals regardless of doctors. There is a huge diversity in Christianity.

How do you as a paramedic know what's happening to a patient's social security check?
Agreed that static analysis/proof verification only gets you so far. I was just thinking that the visibility of the incident might lead to some companies asking how they can go even further to make things safer. Of course the first and most important steps consist of what you're saying above, followed by doing whatever they can on the software front if they aren't doing it already.
Inequality is inevitable in all societies. The question of how much inequality is acceptable not just that it exists.
If God gave man brains and free will, then Christians should be ok with the tools and medicine man creates, because it’s still God’s creation at the root, if even indirectly. (I know this doesn’t square with Luddites/ Amish etc.)
It's not my opinion, it's objective fact; after death there is literally nothingness forever, and even excruciating pain is something; you can react to it, decide things about it, etc. Those are facts.

Also you know absolutely nothing about me. Don't pretend like you do.
No, I don't really call that EDM. I'd call that Industrial. Nice job!
This looks to have been well thought out. I generally shy away from C/C++, I prefer the GC approach of C#. (I have also coded a little Rust but find it challenging.) But looking at the docs and examples, I'm very tempted to try Muon! I like the lack of undefined behavior very much, even if it only transpiles to C atm; I look forward to the LLVM target.
That’s funny because the last bit of feedback I received on an interview that was supposed to be a “preemptive yes” is that I was “a bit nervous” and they wanted to interview more candidates before making a decision. Sometimes you just can’t win.
> This is true. I think that it's also a religious thing as well, and almost Christians. Other religions are more accepting of death, but Christianity has taught many to sincerely believe that Jesus himself would step into the room and heal their loved one, therefore every attempt must be made to save them.

Nope. Everybody dies, with rare exception: the Bible is pretty unequivocal on that. I hate to drift so close to playing an SJW card and I'm not saying what you've described never happens, but please don't tar us all with the same brush and, instead, educate yourself.
> design your system first just by writing the types,

Fine.

> look how it works,

Beutiful except it doesn't work yet because it's just types that make some shape. You could literally draw the thing with pen and paper.

> go bother with implementation.

And only then discover that something you have thought of as implementation detail is one of the main problems with your solution.

No problem. I'll just refactor some type. It's easy. Less beautiful but at least it'll work. Except it doesn't. Butchering your elegant design for hours you come to hard earned realisation that the shape you imagined that you wrote and carefully named all your types to represent actually has nothing to do with the one you need.

If you are a bad person you ship your mangled typed monstrosity that you just barely made to work with traces of your struggle fossilised for any future maintainers.

If you are a good person you toss everything to into trash (save for few hard earned implementations) and start fresh with knowledge and humility wishing you worked with TypeScript where you can start with implementation and only after you figured out the hard parts, add types that reflect your solution (finding
few additional bugs in the process and getting more confident about the thing you wrote).
Many resources like land are finite. For someone to have more land others must have less.

Unfortunately, that extends to things like access to politions and the ability to shape laws not just arbitrary numbers in a bank account. Extreme wealth inequality is less about a few people having more than it is about many people having less. Billionaires exist in most countries, it’s the amount of poverty that’s the issue in the US not the wealthy.

“Apple’s CPU have gotten so performant now, that we’re just margins off the best desktop CPUs; it will be interesting to see how the coming years evolve, and what this means for Apple’s non-mobile products.“

“What is quite astonishing, is just how close Apple’s A11 and A12 are to current desktop CPUs. I haven’t had the opportunity to run things in a more comparable manner, but taking our server editor, Johan De Gelas’ recent figures from earlier this summer, we see that the A12 outperforms a moderately-clocked Skylake CPU in single-threaded performance. Of course there’s compiler considerations and various frequency concerns to take into account, but still we’re now talking about very small margins until Apple’s mobile SoCs outperform the fastest desktop CPUs in terms of ST performance. It will be interesting to get more accurate figures on this topic later on in the coming months.”

>Venezuela is actually capitalist,

Really? Source? Because the government took over and controls the means of production. So you can see how I am confused by you saying that Venezuela isn’t “really” socialism.

Or you can answer the topic at hand. Where is food distuributon successful where “companies optimizing for profit” is not the case.
>the independent audit of Toyota's practices suggests that random and uncharacterized faults in Toyota's ECUs cannot be ruled out as causes for the unintended acceleration episodes.

>cannot be ruled out

That seems like a very weak statement. If you asked a software auditing firm to inspect your massive codebase they're not going to "rule out" any bugs either.
>UK elites love living in city centres.

That definitely does not tally with my experience in Manchester and Liverpool. Nobody worth any real money lives in the city, they're all in big Cheshire villas.

The young professionals might like to play Friends for a bit, but as soon as they spawn or make real money they're off in a blast.

I'd be surprised if Birmingham were any different, considering that city centre in practice is almost non-existent.

London and Edinburgh are the only places with real elites living in cities, but they are the exception to the rule.
I was curious about that line, because (I thought) private investigators are legally permitted to go through people's trash if it's off the property.
More interesting link, I think: https://github.com/nickmqb/muon/blob/master/docs/muon_by_exa...

Uniform call syntax and constructor functions go a long way in making usage more pleasant. I’m curious about “tagged pointers”, though: is the only way to make a “union” by taking the reference of a bunch of things? Seems somewhat inconvenient. Finally, there seem to be a couple of opinionated requirements in the language, namely significant whitespace (made “worse” because you’re already using brackets to define scope) and restricting generic parameters to single-letter names that seem like they’re a bit too restrictive.
Shouldn't you get an examination and doctor advice (or at least look for an approach based on the results) as opposed to random old wives tales from us HN users?

Not having a good start in life is the root cause of so much crime, disorder and other social strife. Wouldn't you rather live in a world with less murder at the expense of fewer superyachts? Also the more we allow the entire population to contribute to our collective progress , the more exciting stuff we get to see materialise. People don't seem to mention that side of things much.
This doesn't come as a surprise to me, since Anders Heijlsberg, wo created TypeScript, was the technical lead of the team that developed C#.
The whole point is to have some balance not to make everyone poor. Surely you can see that the world is unfair.

If you are the only rich guy from the street and the rest are dead poor you should expect to get robbed and stabbed pretty soon. The same goes with governments/systems. Balance is not only a moral thing to do, it is necessary to survive.

On that topic I made this a while ago to make fun of it. (no longer renders nicely on mobile unless you go landscape)
Obviously but that's not the choice people make. Medicine is full of uncertainty.
My parents live near a liberal arts university, and every year, they haul thousands of dollars worth of gear thrown away by well-off graduating college students (grateful dead tee -> trash on the way to wall street). For a while they were returning gear to LL Bean to get money (I consider this a bad idea and I believe the policies were changed to address this). They also collect enough money a year from can redemption to go on a europe trip.
This resonates quite strongly with me, and I would recommend Suikoden 1/2 for the same reasons.
