I use streaming services like Spotify and even YouTube purely for discovering new music, on my terms. Music I want to listen to is music I own, as in I have it locally, managed by me. Ads, privacy, audio quality and many other issues plague streaming services.
What bothers me about this is, all indices are not the same. You could draw a line connecting a 5-dimensional index to a 3-dimensional one. There should be some way of separating incompatible indices. Granted this is less of an issue for physics where virtually every index goes from 0 to 3 inclusive - although some go from 1 to 3. Conventionally, this is dealt with by using Greek letters for 4-vectors and regular letters for 3-vectors.
Read this book on peat use in Ireland a while back -> http://www.books.ie/brown-gold-a-history-of-bord-na-mona-and...

It was part of DeValeras mad drive for "national self-sufficiency" back in the 40s and 50s. The inefficiency of the plants is mind-boggling. Peat burns at an extremely low heat in comparison to coal or gas.

Another interesting article on why peat is such a bad idea -> https://www.irishtimes.com/news/environment/why-peat-is-most...

[peat] has a lower calorific value than coal (generating less energy per tonne when it is burned) and yet it produces higher CO2 emissions per unit, so it is the least climate-efficient way to produce electricity or heat in Ireland bar none.

> they want their problem solved, plain and simple. And they rather not know the details on how you solved it or how it affects others

In general, this sounds like a dangerous attitude. Asking people to do "whatever it takes" to solve an immediate problem, with no consideration of wider or longer-term effects, frequently leads to more trouble in the end.
Or that people are taking the “hands on wheel” recommendation seriously now that they know the AP might kill them.

Since Tesla doesn’t say how many time drivers had to intervene and avoid a crash then we can have no relevant statistic.
Yeah, I really liked it. My last Sansa Clip+ broke a couple of month ago, though. I couldn't find a decent replacement yet.
We had the same; cat was lying down in the litter box, lethargic, etc. We were only able to take him to the vet the next morning. Turns out he had bladder stones and grit that blocked the way out; he got a catheter and had to be flushed out with fluids for three days in a row to restart the kidneys (which had failed) and bring the urea and potassium levels in his blood back to safe levels. Some of the levels were off the scale. He should have died, if it wasn't for my girlfriend helping him to drink some water.

Anyway after the few days with a catheter he had surgery to remove the stones and eventually he was back to normal. He gets regular tummy massages now and loves it.

Still though, it's a constant concern now; supposedly it's quite common in male cats, and one possible cure or mitigation is to do a sex change surgery, rerouting the urinary tract so it's a shorter path / wider / less likely to get blocked. I never knew that was even a thing in animals.
The Cloak of Invisibility Against Image Recognition
Saying this is greenwashing is rather extraordinary doublespeak and is an element of the contrarian cynicism that just muddies the waters.

Ireland relied upon overwhelmingly greenhouse gas producing power generation in years past. This year they're on target to hit 1/3 of their power generation from wind power. That is fantastic, and is a remarkable accomplishment. There is no "greenwashing". Throwing in the momentary wind percentage is absurd in the context.

Feeding in doctored images, grainy social media pics of people that look "kinda similar" and other garbage data into these tools just to generate a list of possible suspects is a surefire way to generate garbage matches (i.e. non-matches).

I don't see how this is any better than just putting all the names of people who have the same demographic info into a hat and picking a set of them.

I guess incompetence might be the thing that saves us from a truly effective Orwellian state.

I have the same set-up. The Val Down button doesn't work anymore, but aside from that, it is an awesome little device. I use it for my Gym mp3 player.

If you aren't replying to my points why are you making a reply to my comment?

Yes, all properly filled bugs reports are useful. The important part here is that "properly" word though and on a popular project they can be hard to find. What is worse, this incentivizes people to file the same or similar bugs twice (or more) since they can't find the duplicate (in which case, properly or not doesn't matter, you already demonstrated your belief that your time is more important than whoever will have to wade through the bugs to find your duplicate).

Also while code isn't the only thing that matters, it is the thing that matters the most - the software doesn't exist without code, but it can exist without everything else - and the programmers who write the code are those who make the final decision on what ends up in the software (assuming FOSS made by volunteers here, of course, not FOSS or closed source software made by employees - although even in that case, often the developer who writes the code is the one making the decision anyway).
As a counterpoint, I find userstyles far less convenient than extensions. In my experience, they are more difficult to install, they work less often and break more easily (because of the "put this thing I hacked together on the internet and forget about it" mindset), don't auto update, are more difficult to find or discover, and the UI for managing/customizing them is horrible.

Sure, there's advantages too, and I like the idea of user styles/scripts, but after wasting some time on trying (and failing) to use them to customize my browsing experience on a few sites, I settled on a Dark Reader + Auto Reader Mode + uBlock combo that makes all of the internet nice and readable with almost no extra hassle.
I have taken several CDs (mainly my Dad's, not my own) from unusably scratched to relatively pristine. The really bad cases need fine grit sandpaper (wet!) followed by plastic polishes. I generally start with Meguiar's plastic polish and work my way to Radtech Ice Creme. In my own collection I have CDs that are around 30 years old and are error-free. I'm not interested in formats or services that won't last at least as long or can't be backed up to my own NAS (nor am I interested in anything less than Red Book quality).
A few years ago I bought an 'old' ('00 Integra) that had the stock head unit. It would only play CD ROM. It was a total pain to find actual CDs and not DVDs. I dug up mine and my girlfriend's old zip-up CD books full of ripped/torrented mix-cds from when we were teenagers, and it was an actual blast. It felt so good to rediscover some albums I hadn't thought of in the last 10-15 years. The Integra is getting a little long in the tooth, and I'm going to be sad that my time machine to 2005-2007 is going away.

Sounds like part of the plot of the Mass Effect trilogy.
I’d recommend reading some actual reviews of AutoPilot by the hundreds of thousands of people that use it every day, watch some YouTube videos or read some auto review sites explaining it.

You keep your attention on the road. AutoPilot “takes the strain” off micromanaging the vehicle in the lane while you do the executive planning.

It’s a supremely comfortable way to drive. But you are still responsible for driving the damn car.

I never understood why a sphere was even in the discussion of a standardized atomic count.

Any rational fractions using pi = pi atoms or molecules. And that's absurd to have r=(3V/4pi)^1/3 . No matter how you mess with it, it's irrational to the extreme!

Now.. Face-centered or ody-centered cubic follows a nice quadratic expansion for integer based counting. We don't need no steenkin pi's!

It's reasonable to expect judges to use their judgment and discretion in applying the law. It's not reasonable to expect them to use your judgment and discretion.
Because it's not about accuracy. It's about generating a match, no matter how crappy. It's no different than back when they used to pick up random known criminals (usually non-white) and charge them with whatever crimes they had no leads for in order to clean up the number of open cases. Selecting the random person to pick up is now outsourced to the software. The cops can claim not to be responsible because they're just doing what the computer says. The company selling the crap can claim not to be responsible because the cops are using it wrong.

Does anyone actually have some benchmarks of the latest gen AMD vs the latest gen intel processors with all mitigations for spectre, meltdown, and the 10 other sidechannel/speculative execution vulnerabilities applied?

I'd genuinely be curious to find out what the eventual results are because as i understand it AMD is not too far away from Intel as a standalone processor, surely in a "real world" scenario they'd be significantly faster?

That clearly answers my question, which you understand quite well.

The problem with detaching from feelings like you do is that whatever fabricated peace that results from it is not a lasting one and when "push comes to shove" it will burst leading to the same old same old. These fabricated mental states are not reliable.

Actually feeling peaceful--as in, genuinely feeling happy and not unhappy--on the other hand is quite artless and natural, much like children feel playful and happy without artificial effort.
Author is implying that he only fears whatever time he needs to wait for checked bag. I find it ridiculous - air travel is already an all day long enterprise even on short flights - get to the airport, then minimum 2 hours for all checks, then flight itself, then check on arrival (up to 1 hour), then baggage if any and then get out of the airport. Baggage wait time is usually a rounding error in all this. What is really important is that people usually carry fragile and expensive things in hand luggage and is forced to check it in there is a high probility of it breaking or theft. This is a real reason for fighting for overhead space. Also losing all your luggage (checked in and forced checked in) or even delaying it by few days is significantly more painful if only one item was lost/delayed, especially if it was a trip from home to another place (not reverse).
It's not that I disagree with either you or the sibling comment, it has some potential for abuse, I just don't see it as likely - I mean what manipulation could happen here?

If they starting suggesting I meant 'facebook.com' when I go to 'twitter.com' then I'm going to immediately stop using the product and I think most people would too. I just don't see how many near-miss cases there could be where this could be genuinely abused. It's just an attempt to help people who will and do get fooled by similar-looking domain names in phishing attacks.

This is an example of that. Obviously in this case it's not a typo attack - as you rightly point out the keys are typically too far apart - it's a potential phishing attack of the variety 'here click this link to re-enter your credit card details for your recent Ikea order, as our system lost them' hoping the user doesn't really look properly at the url bar and gets fooled.
That does highlight the one infamous issue with "loudness wars" bringing the quality into the toliet to keep the volume high when we all have perfectly good knobs and switches to regulate them.

> "you pay a lot extra to board last"

In my experience, the first- and business- class folks always take advantage of their ability to board first, because sitting in first class on the tarmac is more comfortable than sitting in the airport terminal.

Pressed CDs do quite well over time if you keep them in a dry and cool place. I do think finding optical drives will be the rub, they are already becoming niche products. With SSD prices as they are, it’s not hard to imagine a world without SATA connectors before too long. It’s really hard to imagine that there won’t be some Asian company selling optical drives with usb-x connectors or something but I expect people thought that about various floppy disks over the years too. And then there is the software to read and rip it, probably not super difficult but you never know.

There is an awful lot of music simply not streamed, if you live near a college town or in any city of say 80,000 people then there probably some local bands, chances are good they’ve recorded some stuff and outside of that run of CDs, the music is nowhere else. It’s not like we’re losing part of the Beatles catalog exactly but if you’ve bonded and heard that band a few times it might be meaningful.

Okay, so more technical stuff like I do.

Well, I don't know what the formal requirements in your country are, but project-wise, I just looked on the Web.

Got a 2-year project via AngelList.

I just signed up to many freelance project websites and wrote applications like no tomorrow, when I started.

I didn't have many expenses back then and could live for a year from 4-6 months of work, so I only needed a few of the projects to work out, but I also only went for greenfield projects that would go for at least 3months and I would only bill per month or week, so I wouldn't get caught up in hourly billing formalities (what did I do today) etc.

If you're lucky, the customers will follow up with new stuff.

The next thing I did was content marketing.

I started with blog-articles, did some GitHub tutorials and finally some videos.

I wrote 2-4 articles per month for two years or so, but someday I got requests from people coming in. A publisher wanting to write a book and a startup wanting to do developer relation stuff for them.

So get on a well-known blogging platform and Twitter, and write about machine learning. There are more beginners than pros so even the basic stuff will get you recognition. But don't hope for quick wins here. For the first year, I just used my articles and GitHub repositories as "portfolio" to get some projects and they didn't have much value in themselves.

This is just how I did it.

Know a bunch of people who got a fine spot as a free consultant at a big corp rather quickly and never had to do any legwork after that. So your mileage may vary :)
The only place I’ve heard music in years is YouTube on my phone, car radio, or live. There’s so much on YouTube that I frankly don’t care to look almost anywhere else at this point.
Sure, but you have to go to court and plead the Fifth Amendment. You can't just refuse to testify entirely.
It's always an option to go the proprietary route and release your code as shareware. It worked for a long time. Why bother to release the source if it's such a hassle?
Found my circa 2007-2008ish Sansa the other day. Gave me that wonderful feeling "this was a quality purchase" that only seems to come along every so often. The default firmware was actually pretty solid, but I had Rockbox installed a week after buying it.
Amd was walways better wit bang for buck. Intel just had the fastest CPUs for rich who nwed best single core performance. If Intel doesn't have the fastest CPUs then AMD is just hands down cheaper and Intel has no advantage.
There's two things that make wrestling different in kind, a party lifestyle and painkillers for dealing with the fast schedule.

Both of those have subsided from their late 20th century heights. The Ric Flair types got replaced by a bunch of athletic theater nerds, and painkiller abuse is understood as a thing in society.

>There's calls for easier schedules, but as they say, the show must go on.

It's not like there's a league setting the schedule. Wrestling promotions decide exactly how much they're going to work. WWE is sort of notorious that they work contracted talent balls-to-the-wall, where smaller promotions don't run as many shows in a week and independent wrestlers choose exactly how many bookings they take.
Humanity is always seeking to define an arbitrary demarcation point between man and animal. The goal posts were moved (again) after we discovered orangutans using prepared tools to fish for termites.

So the author argues that baggage handling is more efficient and trackable than before, but baggage fees are "a disincentive to check luggage"?

I accept that baggage fees are designed to mask a lower advertised fare and/or extract more pax revenue. And I don't understand the mad rush to skip baggage claim and get out of the airport 15 minutes quicker. Baggage tracking and recovery is indeed a lot quicker and I've never had a problem. And the lines at car rental desks and taxi pickups didn't magically get shorter in my recent observations. In fact they're longer.

I suppose that makes me an outlier, but the ~$25 is worth taking all the stress out of queueing at the gate and trying to get on as quickly as possible. Your time/value equation might be different.
Ask HN: How do I get the most frequent templates from a project's source code?
I usually create a lot of code templates based on generic pattern(example for i:=0; i<n; i++) then create a shortcut for it in my IDE. If you used IntelliJ, it is called live template.

Since I want to optimize further in my work flow, is there any tool to analyze my project's source code. I want to find out the most frequent code templates from a project's source code.
Depending on what you're using it for, I would take a look at Threadripper too. There are some crazy deals right now. If you don't IPMI and registered ECC, it's a great option for a ton of cores and PCIe lanes.
I don't see how storing the mails in a database will improve the situation. You will still have to update 1000s of records when you mark 1000 messages as seen/unseen or move them into the trash.
And the DB will then write the changes to a filesystem.

One of Maildir's design goals was to make it safer to use on networked file systems such as NFS (compared to mbox).
I don't even get why everyone has these roller carry-ons. I have a soft-sided backpack designed specifically for air travel. It always fits in the bin and it's way faster to carry than something that rolls on the ground with wheels. And ditching all the hard sides and wheels makes everything weigh less.

Do you mean using your own domain on a Medium blog? If so, that was disabled a while ago. Or do you mean cross posting the same content on Medium and your blog? That's tricky, how do you tell Google that it should consider your blog as the owner of the content? Otherwise you can get punished for duplicated content.
Another interesting wrench I've noticed: People who've lost their checked bags at some point.

I know a few people who had their checked luggage lost by the airline, and the aftermath was so painful that they basically refuse to check luggage ever again.

I am curious whether the boarding process has gotten significantly longer over time, and whether that costs airlines more money than they receive in baggage fees. I'm sure the answer is "not by a longshot", but still curious nonetheless.
In this case criminals.
Alternate perspective: AMD not doing these risky optimizations reflects a better engineering culture, or at least less risky priorities.

Go with Intel and risk losing a huge chunk of your performance some day, or go with AMD and know what to expect. Different people and companies have different risk tolerances, so it's not an obvious choice one way or the other.
You only need your motherboard to support ECC (not sure if they all do), that's the only prerequisite.
