A dark mode would definitely be nice, but I think there are some larger UI improvements that can be done. Some basic ones would be better padding and spacing for legibility, and making use of the large empty spaces for additional content. And being able to see the number of comments a post has without clicking on it is a must.

I really like this project and the credits system in place. If you're open to the idea I'd be down to collaborate on some of the frontend / design work. Feel free to message me.
The most effective person gets hired into a role. The firm performs well, moves more product, lowers prices for customers, sends larger orders to its suppliers, invests some surplus in R&D, grows its payroll, generates return for shareholders who then invest their gains in other enterprises, etc. Or an ineffective person is hired and the opposite happens.

Pitch Investors for Your Startup – LinkX
Haskell was strongly localized, and with heavy university bias. There were users outside, but not many, and I think it was around 2003-2005 that it became more common to use (also I suspect GHC to be significant in causing that).

Also, Microsoft is quite open in its support for more heterogenous programming than typical Unix environment, with significant use of "niche" programming languages in various places (including things as atypical as putting custom Prolog implementation into Windows network configuration tools, just to run a prolog program that handled said configuration)
Well, for one reason, if Satoshi is alive; he can easily crash the entire bitcoin market if his wallets start selling currency.

If he's dead, (which is the case if he's Finney), then that is a not a risk.

If he is alive, then the likelyhood of him cashing out at some point is pretty high. He may be only be waiting for the moment when there is enough liquidity in the market for him to dump it all at once - and we're probably not quite there yet, he's said to have just under 1M BTC.
And then you end up requiring a binary-only library, or can't upgrade with the whatever PCI-e device because no drivers and that's the end of the ARM adventure...
There were a techy startup or two making overnight sleeper-bus service between LA and SF over the last few years. Apparently the ride quality was rough, but they had a solid business model. How Amtrak hasn’t seen this opportunity of a far more comfortable, spacious travelling hotel (ie 9pm to 8am) between the two cities (and similar routes) is mind-boggling to me.
I dumped any “tech” holdings I had and invested in oil tankers as well as bulk shipping. The only thing close to a “tech” stock that I hold now is Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. The portfolio doesn’t fluctuate much and the dividend payouts are very nice.
Theoretically no longer safe, but to insert a compromise commit matching another one that looks like normal code is close to impossible.
The fact anyone has to worry about future-proofing video these days is infuriating. If you're activley making your product worse, and forwarding the cost of making it worse to the buyer, you dont deserve a single dollar.

That leads me to ask ... what's the best kneeling chair that you've used?
I can also second that: a 2nd hand Herman Miller Aeron that you've tested before making the purchase; one of the damn best investments you can make.

Have had mine for 6+ years now and it's outlived pretty much everything in my home office, save for a Dell U2713HM, which is still such a nice allrounder (27" 1440p IPS).
CAD modeling is very slow when you need to use numerical simulation.
I’ve done credit union product marketing and IT — it’s exactly the same situation over there. Many credit unions are terminally infected with bad board members that prevent them from making hard decisions that will result in better customer service in the long term.

And actual harassment of staff in banking is a real thing, as is occasional criminal activity like keying employee cars. This must be dealt with on top of robbery training (varying your commute, etc.)
A correction algorithm will probably rely more on the shape of the lens than the shape of an 'ideal' lens.

A single image also won't technically contain enough information to even allow you to reconstruct the image, but with sparse reconstruction you might be able to get it done.

In fact I'm fairly sure people have tried to do exactly that, and phone manufacturers seem pretty willing to throw software at the problem as well, although the latter don't really care much for the method as long as it looks nice.
I agree! But I don’t think this is how the average person thinks about it.

That's hilariously Orwellian. I mean, I mostly like the mod atmosphere here. But removing user privileges, not for posting bad comments, but for silently and secretly suggesting that you reconsider some specific bad comments?

It's honestly confusing that you're telling us this at all.
The edited version of your comment comes across less negative, so fair point. The initial wording about "long vacation" seemed far more dismissive.
What is the practical significance of that fact? Will the chair fail earlier?
How so ? Brandishing "diversity" as the epitome of progress is close to nonsensical.

My workstation requires 4 4k output, both HDMI 2,0 and display-port, and decent OpenGL & other hardware accelelation support. There is no way I'm ever going to get this working out of the box with a fancy architecture. Yes, I'm using proprietary binary-only software, but I my line of work involve CAD+CAM, not re-invent the wheel.

Even industrial system I'm working on right now will use standard off-the shelf part (read x86 or rasppi-like sbc) and STANDARD interfaces, because I don't want to lock myself with a vendor. If the main system crash, I can replace it within 12h with a crappy old system and limit downtime.
> It also doesn't sound like the kind of advancement that makes camera lenses play mp3 files, but then: neither of those two things are even remotely relevant to the article?

How is it not? The article actually makes that claim:

It would help make better and cheaper to manufacture optical systems in all areas, be it telescopes, microscopes, and everything in between.

So you believe that code with no-to-minimal history running successfully will be better than dated-but-proven code that has been running for over a decade?

How does that work? I was under the impression that Raspbian was a 32-bit Linux distribution but Docker requires a 64-bit distribution.
I think your understanding might be incomplete. To "stop" in space, relative to a viewer on the ground, means going into geostationary orbit. Or, I suppose, to a Lagrange point.

To borrow an XKCD-ism, space isn't high so much as it's fast. You have to go very very fast to stay in orbit, and if you were to attempt to slow down and stop whilst orbiting, you'd essentially be executing a de-orbit burn and would find yourself re-entering the atmosphere.
I wish I could but he didn’t give a very detailed answer. If I had to punt I’d say it’s because they didn’t think the government could offer a compelling experience once they took it over from private companies...
Why would that be an issue? People already have Mesa and AMDGPU working fine on non-x86 architectures (people have demoed physical POWER, RISC-V and AArch64 machines, all with various Radeon GPUs and the newer AMDGPU stack) and the support gets better and better every release. But it already works fine.

Also, Franken-Ubuntu I suppose isn't really my complaint, though I still don't like it. It goes beyond that, though -- the Tegra boards have very custom design that means some things are a huge pain in the ass if you want to even remotely treat them like "normal" computers (for example, want to test that fancy driver you wrote on your AArch64 Tegra machine for that M.2 peripherial? well first you gotta reconfigure the BSP firmware to turn off the power rails to various subcomponents so you can reroute them to things like the M.2 E key slots in the TX2. Gotta disable that USB controller via BSP flash if you want a chip in there, etc etc). It also means I am basically stuck on older kernel versions which may mean features I want to use or develop with are basically off limits (eBPF enhancements, io_uring, etc.) I don't just want to test SIMD; I also need to test actual memory/disk/peripherials, etc. These constraints make perfect sense for Tegra devices -- they are still annoying, for me.

I'm not saying the Tegra machines are not nice, or they are not high quality. They absolutely are. If you are just writing code to give the CPUs some work to do, they are great! Flash the default BSP, plug in HDMI, run 'gcc'. They're the highest performing ARM machines for their power profile and size, IME. But the moment you treat them like an "ordinary" computer, all bets are off. These LX2K machines act substantially more like "ordinary" desktop computers, and IMO that's a significant benefit.

Now, if you want to do DL inference or GPU programming, I think CUDA is vastly better (for a number of technical reasons). And the Tegra machines would be a good choice! But if you're just writing ARM code and need a desktop, these machines seem perfectly sufficient and can host open source drivers just fine, and will be far more usable in a number of ways vs a Tegra machine.

(And also: Nvidia also released some press notes last month that they would be bringing the full CUDA stack to ARM for data-center computing, presumably, including the host driver. So it's possible you may be able to stick a Quadro into these things soon enough and use CUDA to your hearts content!)
Thermodynamic cycles and engineering constraints. ICE engines are about 30% efficient at best. Operationally they're usually a lot worse. Where modern combined cycle power plants are pushing towards 60%. A big part of the difference is that stationary plants use multiple stages to wring the last bit of energy out of the fuel. Where piston engines use one stage.

They also suffer from mechanical and thermal losses due to their small size. Small size means higher internal surface area to volume and higher operating speeds. Contributes to higher friction and thermal losses. Friction in an ICE is actually significant.
I have not read the original paper, I'm not an expert in optics, but the article clearly makes an argument that seems contradictory:

- Current solution is expensive because it uses aspherical elements.

- New solution promises cost reduction.

- New solution uses aspherical elements as well.

Either there's some hidden detail that the article fails to mention, or it's claims are overstated. If you actually know about optics, I'd be glad to know which is the true or if I'm missing anything here, otherwise I would appreciate to keep your snarkiness to yourself.
I would recommend the Dell P2415Q as a great allround monitor today. IPS panel, 4k, and displayport daisy-chaining support.

"The Dispossessed" by Le Guin was helpful for me to think about these problems, which I found went deeper than I thought as a younger person. "IOU"...who is owed? Who owes? Who needs milk?
I think real-time does not mean what you think it means. It doesn't have to do with speed per se.
In the comments, the company responds: "I have asked marketing and sales to update that copy. Those versions are target shipping software, which is actually bumped on the developer board as NXP has just released a 4.19 based BSP. These boards will be fully supported by all mainline support that progresses."
I’ll second this. Pi-Hole was very easy to set up and gives me some good peace of mind. Love seeing query trends too.
This gets a lot romantic and appealing when you realize his bathroom and his shower are buckets — and hopefully not the same bucket.

The LXC and LXD repositories are under https://github.com/lxc which is a different Github organization with a much much smaller set of members (17 currently) than CanonicalLtd.

We require 2FA for all accounts under the lxc organization and only grant the access that's actually needed by those contributors. So while it's not impossible that one of our members' credentials may get compromised, especially when considering the use of access token, current access is as restricted as you would expect for those repositories.

It's also worth noting that because of Git's own design, even should one of those accounts get compromised, it would be fairly simple to spot and revert any changes that may have occurred.
On smaller real time systems, we simply dont do dynamic memory allocation at all. Everything is global/static, or on the stack. Malloc can never fail if it's not called.
Varier Balans is very good.
It's exactly these, with the emphasis on easy, that pushed me towards Elixir three years ago. The dev ergonomics are nearly as nice as Ruby's, it's got a great MVC framework and you also get points 1 and 2.

That said, I'm also seeing Rust really start to boom and it trades managed memory for very powerful tools for managing it manually.
First, RTFM. If there's documentation, I read it. README, CONTRIBUTING, whatever is available really.

Then, I start hunting through the codebase. Sometimes despite people's best efforts at compartmentalization, there's one or two files that are the heart of the project. Depending on the project they'll be different things. For instance, TypeScript has checker.ts, which contains the core typechecking logic. Ruby has vm.c, compile.c and parse.y. If that's the case, that's actually very helpful, as I can spend the majority of my time in one file.

To aid in this hunting, I use a few tools. Stuff like grep and find (although I prefer ripgrep and fd) are a huge help, cause you can search through large codebases with relative ease. IDEs are great too. I particularly like being able to goto definition, then go back, then go forwards, etc. Switching between call site and definition makes understanding functions easier.

I take notes on occasion, although I don't always reference them. It's more to process what I'm reading. I try to write notes about types, functions and files. I do it in org mode and embed urls so that I can link definitions together.

Definitely run the code as soon as possible. Then add print statements and see where they go. I've used flamegraphs on occasion to see the stack trace.
Giving out incentives without the resources and expertise to ensure we’re actually getting the intended benefit is squarely in the middle of “the government’s fault.”
I definitely take those words at face value, especially since Russian "trolls" didn't "hack" our election. It's not exactly a secret that Valley tech companies hate Trump with a burning passion. The docs also speak for themselves.

Even if it was the accretion disk, it would look that way no matter how it was facing earth because gravity would bend the light from the far side around.
The point is it doesn’t for many people at all if the distribution is uneven enough, I.e. distribution matters.

I’m not saying it’s not important, I’m saying it’s not obviously zero sum. If it was, any marginal change for one person would have impact for another. With an uneven enough distribution I could lose relative in an amount that actually has no impact for me, but could have utility going to you, say. Bear in mind the criteria was “safe and comfortable”, not “able to outbid you on a property”
Hi, so I'm good with people "lived for most of history, totally free in the world unconstrained by government limited only by the relationships they choose to make."

However, the Inland Coastal Waterway (where the interview was made) is a very precious resource. Thousands of boaters cruise up and down the waterway from the Chesapeake to Florida. We would all love to live the nomadic lifestyle. Most of us take care of our boats, and try to be a positive reflection to the community. Issue is that when cruisers anchor out along the ICW, in front of someone's property, they look at us and go "Ok, boat in good condition". When they see a boat like Sean, they go "OMG, derelict boat, we need to have a LAW TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM ANCHORING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. Because there is a history of boats like that that are not able to propel themselves becoming derelict and then become abandoned.

And that creates a problem, because Sean and cruisers don't pay taxes, so the local government listens to the property owner. And pretty soon, nobody, Sean or other cruiser can anchor. And with boats like his, the local marine police are out looking for safety issues. So they stop Sean, and they stop cruisers and want to do safety inspections.

All of this is preventable by Sean. I don't want him to be a gleaming mega-yacht. But he can spend an hour and his hull won't be a mess. He can spend another hour picking up wires and cables and stuff and when he gets boarded it won't be a mess. And while I appear to be stepping on his rights, the real statement I'm trying to make is "This is why we can't have nice things." 1000's of boaters go up and down the ICW, and this guy, gets news attention, make's hacker news and he becomes the face and boat of cruisers. Closing anchorages where Sean and cruisers hang out are endangered because of this.
While true, it's worth noting that it's happened. It's rather like when there's a theoretical breakthrough that might help to cure a type of cancer. Will it result in an actual medical breakthrough that helps people? Usually not. But, occasionally yes, and that's huge, so it's still worth noting. If you don't get enough shots on goal, you never score.
The specificity gives it a funny edge though. If I were a math student I'd print it and put it on my wall.
For an interesting graphic along these lines see [0].

The parent of this comment is talking about increasing the efficiency (reducing rejected energy) and the gp is talking about just increasing the total amount of energy. Both are solutions. But I wouldn't say it is a good thing we reject more than half the energy we create.

I remember some software that made inefficient use of the display, but the best programs were carefully designed to show as much of the user’s work as possible, on screens with far fewer pixels or character cells than those of today.

For example, the WriteNow word processor for Macintosh computers was successful, in part, because of its user interface design, which put the horizontal ruler in a separate, undecorated window, with the controls for paragraph alignment, tab stops, and line spacing kept hidden until needed, but still discoverable. This worked well, especially on nine-inch desktop (512×342) or first-generation PowerBook (640×400) displays.
Hm... unless I am mistaken, this misses the ability to write arbitrary slots and connect them. If I am right, then a major part of what moc is responsible for - the whole signal/slot glue code - is not covered in this library.
>Bear in mind that most of the flying public aren't even aware that there's a problem, so the only issue is getting the airplane airworthy.

This might have been true in the first few days after the accident, but the 737 Max has been all over the news since… I would be shocked if a majority of fliers had not heard at least something about issues with Boeing planes.

If what you are doing only revolve around "writing code to give the CPUs some work to do", then a $30 Rasp-Pi will work just as good.

Also 99.999% of people want to "use" software, very often proprietary one, not re-invent the wheel. No matter what, this kind of product will be a niche, by an overwhelmingly large margin.
Any language that forces a particular programming paradigm is IMHO never going to be all that great. Java forced OOP on people in ways it shouldn't have. Functional languages force immutability in ways they shouldn't.

One contention I have with this description (if I understand it at all), is that the projection into the linear space does not preserve the properties of changes in a relation graph.

I mean I "think" I said pretty much the same in my reply, but one big issue with word2vec is that the relations, which are graphical, can be projected, but not all changes in the graph can be. Therefore, I think it is not correct that these operations are linear in the sense that they can be equivalent to linear operations in the embedding space.

But maybe I just don't understand your description.
Ouch! Rich Hickey, inventor of clojure came to same conclusion using lisps. He rewrote a system in lisp that was written in c++ before by him. He claimed that system written in lisp had far less concurrency issues, and was faster! He was a c++ advocate before that.
Ask HN: Are there groups that track real-life violence caused by social media?
As social media has spread, it seems to be increasingly exploited by forces that seek to ignite long-festering, and often deadly enmities, particularly in third-world countries. It’s probably just a matter of time before deadly isolated incidents morph into full-blown pogroms.

Are there any organizations that are tracking violence directly attributable to social media (including viral WhatsApp misinformation)? If not, has the time come for a website to be created, that curated these incidents, so that social media companies face some kind of accountability?
Wait until you need to deploy to a platform that doesn’t have a precompiled version of a dependency uploaded to PIP. Docker shines in that regard.
The press release is currently missing, but you can still dive in to the release notes while you wait on `dist-upgrade` or your new image to download.
Does the accretion disk emit light, or is the light source coming from somewhere else? (i.e. if the accretion disk is just cosmic dust why would one expect to see the disk?)

Efficiency can be a few different things, though.

The actual antenna structures and reaction centers are reasonably efficient, at least over certain wavelengths. Even through electron transport and the whole photosystem, things still aren't too bad.

But overall efficiency tanks because of Rubisco. Even with C4 and CA metabolism, oxygenation is a major limitation.
