Update: If trials by manufacturers are biased - then how about some framework that would push trials made by competition.

There are two things: One is bad science, and we have a lot of it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis, https://library.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/ft/gg/GG_Null_2004.pdf) - but it should be improving and most of it is probably harmless (I have some hopes on better statistics education and https://www.google.com/search?q=causality+revolution). The other is bad application - and this is more complex. When I go to doctors (with my and my family issues) I, more often than not, have the feeling that they have no chance to give any good diagnosis as it would require too much time to test etc. (one simple case is when to use antibiotics and when the disease is virus based - but I have noticed that this is probably improving with strep and CPR tests) and they mostly just shoot first thing plausible, proscribe some medication and then in most cases the organism just cures itself - so the treatment is never tested. There is probably also 'medicine as signaling' (the theory by Richard Hanson: http://www.overcomingbias.com/tag/medicine), but my intuition is that it is not verly important, and other stuff.
tldr: they simulated the formation of galaxies with general relativity and an alternativ theory and found a property that differs between both simulations and should be measurable with the Square Kilometer Array radiotelescope.

(a nice thing is that this is a general approach that could be used to quickly test and unvalidate alternativ models)
I can confirm this can help based on what I know from relatives. Such supplements try to make the urinary tract inhospitable for bacteria.

If the infections are caused by specific bacteria, Uro-Vaxom is a drug that may help.

Doctors typically recommend some basic things to avoid UTIs, like wiping from front to back and peeing after having intercourse. Having the partner shower before can't hurt either.

But $300 is not the entry cost to kick the tires. Resolve is free! There is this idea out there that Resolve Studio is the only pro version of Resolve, but that is just not true.

I used (non-Studio) Resolve for months coming from Premiere before purchasing the Studio version largely to take advantage of the real-time lens distortion removal effect.

In my view, the non-Studio version of DaVinci Resolve is a fully capable pro NLE and a formidable competitor to Premiere Pro and FCPX. There are some amazing features added in the Studio version (such as the face refinement tool and real-time spatial and temporal noise reduction) but they appear to me to be non-essential unless you are doing certain very specialized types of work.

There are limits on resolution and frame rate, but they are well in excess of the resolutions and frame rates used by most big-budget Hollywood films.

Is there a specific feature exclusive to DR Studio that is preventing you from kicking the tires with Resolve?

> Car2Go sent several workers to retrieve the vehicles, only to find that a group of thieves had claimed them as their own. Some blocked the vehicles in to prevent repossession; others threatened the company’s employees, according to someone with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity.

How come they haven't contacted the police immediately after that?

Also, they mentioned that people sublet their cars at inflated prices. This means they don't have the most basic foreground checks in place. Here in Moscow carsharing companies have cameras in their cars and the face of the driver is compared with the photo ID they have provided. I think it also tracks unsafe behavior, like holding a phone to talk or text.

If they really relaxed their checks to the point where a single credit card was all that was needed, they brought this upon themselves.
Ask HN: Would you choose Linux or BSD if you were building a new laptop for devs
Imagine starting a laptop company where laptops are built specifically designed for developers. Let's assume that hardware is really good. Now we need to create a new operating system for an optimal user experience. Would you develop the your OS on top of BSD or Linux (or something else)? Why?
Whatever information is not provided, feel free to assume it.
Because their upside is in profitable up-sells like extra insurance and additional drivers, and their downside is fraudulent rentals and renters returning damaged vehicles.

Having face-to-face interactions with renters is surprisingly effective both at maximising upside and minimising downside.
> Serverless functions (AWS Lambda and GCP Cloud Functions)

Look for severless benchmarks on your favorite search engine. The performance and trade-off for what seems to be the same service are not homogeneous across providers. This could completely change your costs, and then your architecture. To compare cloud providers or build multi-providers cloud, you have to be careful at comparing apples and apples, or build some kind of simulator first
I've left as much information as I could, but nobody even bothered taking on the bug. The other bug was "fixed" but no information was provided on when it will be rolled into the next release, so that's not useful either, especially since Lisp cannot be built without a working Lisp first, which doesn't work now, so I've no way to test the fix.

Working on debugging C code and assembler is one thing, working on debugging Lisp another: I have to master Lisp first, but without working SBCL that's not possible and I'm not switching to an inferior OS just to master something I can't later on deploy on illumos / Solaris. I'd spend an inordinate amount of my free time for dubious gain, something I can no longer afford, so much so that I've stopped sinking my precious free time into computers. Why does software often fail to gain acceptance, respectively why does it become successful? Availability.
I know about that NULL check example, but the thing is, the compiler is being pretty reasonable there. The fact that the pointer is dereferenced means that the NULL check was useless: if the address is NULL, then the NULL check can never be reached because you'd have already segfaulted (your beloved hardware behavior!) on the dereference earlier. [1] So that code is dead, and needs to be removed. The fact that the dereferenced variable is unused means that the compiler needs to eliminate that too.

People want these optimizations individually. They don't want to keep dead code taking up cycles and they also don't want dead variables taking up registers. So you can't really find much support arguing that those optimizations should be removed entirely. The only real possibilities you can propose here are that the compiler should have magically re-inserted the pruned check during the second optimization, or that it should have performed them in the opposite order. But are you sure these are actually possible and if so, practical? I mean, maybe they are, but they are far from obvious to me. I can easily see the compiler thrashing and failing to reach a fixed point if it re-inserts code that a previous optimization pass pruned. Similarly, I don't see how the compiler can just magically detect an optimization order that ensures "surprising" situations like this don't occur. My guesstimation is that it would carry severe downsides people wouldn't want. Now maybe I'm just not smart enough to see a good solution to this that doesn't carry significant downsides, and there's already one out there. If there is, I'm curious to hear about it, and I hope someone implements it under some flag, but I have yet to hear of one.

For signed integer overflow -- that might be one place where I think it would make sense to just define it to either wrap with 2's complement just like unsigned integers do, or to be unspecified behavior that falls back to the implementation's representation. Though in the latter case... you already have an implementation-specific solution: your compiler flags. But again, we might agree on a couple optimizations here and there, but that's a far cry from saying UB should just fall back to hardware behavior. And honestly, I'm not even here supporting C; I hate it. If you want wrapping, I would suggest it's a sign you might want to use C++ already. Then you can define an integer type that will play Beethoven when you overflow, and people who want their UB on overflow can have that too.

[1] I'm ignoring the validity of address 0 in kernel-mode here; there's also some subtleties on what's a null pointer and what's address zero that are rather beside my point.
Very interesting concept! I wish there were a bit more control, like being able to disable the automatic skip-to-next-video that happens after only a few seconds.
Oh, you can, you need to press the round circle (which I mistook for a spinner-type indicator), icons that require you to first read instructions are bad icons. A button with a text on it, or a checkbox would have made more sense. But hey, it works, so it's cool!

Interestingly, from the point of view of category theory, an isomorphism in a category is just a morphism with a two-sided inverse. A bijection is then just an isomorphism in the category of sets.
So if this probe is bound to venture into the distance range useful for a solar gravitational lensing telescope, why not use it to deploy one? That would really be a major breakthrough IMHO.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.06351

"The minimum distance for a solar lensing telescope is 547 astronomical units (AU). And in reality, proper positioning would likely require the telescope to be placed even farther out — perhaps as far as 2,000 AU or more."
There's a lot of good responses in this thread already, but I would like to add one more thing.

An emotion will generally be part of a chain of emotions and beliefs. Here's how this example of envy could work out for me:

- At the top we might feel angry.

- One level below that we realize we feel angry because we feel envious of someone

- Below that we may realize that we feel envy because we feel insecure

- We feel insecure because we fear not being good enough

- We fear not being good enough because somewhere in our past we internalized the lesson that unless we're good enough, we may not receive attention / affection

- Not receiving attention / affection is connected to fear, because as a child, in our evolutionary past, not being protected by our caretakers could result in our death

Ultimately, the envy is connected to a fear of not being loved and a fear of death. And many other things are as well.

I haven't done much special customization on the ThinkPad, other than updating the BIOS in Windows (it's dual boot) and changing the BIOS sleep setting. The sleep setting disables "Modern sleep", where the computer stays awake when sleeping, which isn't so well supported in Linux.

Currently I have 11 hours remaining, on 78% battery charge with a fairly dim screen (I use a setting to prevent the battery charging fully to extend its lifetime). Powertop shows a draw of 4.1W. Strangely the computer seems to run hotter in Windows and the battery lifetime is a bit shorter.

Good compilation! I’ve been shooting digital-only for the last 12 years and tried 35mm film last year. Now my medium format itch became so bad that I ended up buying a Hassy with the 80mm lens to learn new (or old?) things. The mechanical feel of a Hassy is awesome compared to new DSLRs and mirrorless. Everything is mechanically coupled and there’s nothing unnecessary. Just the focus, aperture and shutter speed settings on the lens, mirror lockup button and the actual shutter button and that’s it. This forces me to think about more and planning more before pressing the button.

Also, people have been talking here about developing the negatives itself to minimise the cost. Ended up making a kind of compromise: bought Epson v850 flatbed scanner and taking the film-rolls for development company to get the negatives. The scanners pays for itself really quickly as here one 120 film roll scanning costs 16 euros :D

It sounds like you are aware that you are scraping videos that are later re-labeled as "unlisted", but you don't mention what you do to mitigate this problem.

Even if it may not be illegal, at the very least it would seem un-ethical to link to private videos like this, and it would seem trivial for you to "re-scrape" your database every now and then to check whether any existing videos have changed from listed -> unlisted, and if they have, remove them.

One way that I approached this was to start my own SaaS product business.

First, it's a good way to test whether you actually are as good and productive as you think you are, since you now have to build an entire software product all by yourself. The ratio of deadwood at your company is going to be either zero or one.

But the nice part is that when you have one person at your company, you get to keep all the profit for yourself. And there's no reason to work 40 hour weeks (assuming you really are mr rock star like you think) so you only need to bring in say $10k/month and work less than 200 hours per year (1/10 of 2080, remember) to see an hourly rate that's more than 10X your 9-5 contemporaries.

Seems to be a bunch of words for filler wrapped around one significant paragraph:

"The changes to the gas in the outer region of galaxies [by modified gravity modeling] causes higher densities of gas to form there, which in turn increases the efficiency of cooling of that gas. It turns out that an instrument of the Square Kilometer Array radiotelescope will be sensitive to the altered properties of the gas. As a result, it may be able to pick up any deviations from general relativity."

There have been a few products named Monday recently. This, the project management app and another one called Happy Monday.

Who in their right mind thought branding as Monday was a good idea?

First off it is difficult to find in any search as strangely enough the word 'Monday' is quite common.

Secondly, the association with Monday and your product is just a bad place to be. What happened to project management apps that seemed like adventure, like Basecamp or something generic at least.

Monday? It is bad enough using some of these systems but then you are going to torture your people with a case of the Mondays right when they start the week? Even if you love work, the connotation with Monday and your product is just a bad idea.

Myths section:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressurization
If x <= 7 then the answer will be 420, but if x > 7 then behavior is undefined because x will overflow, and x is signed, and signed integer overflow is UB in C, so the compiler is free to, for example, conclude that blazeit() is never called with x > 7, thus it can prove that blazeit() always returns 420. Besides, if the compiler chooses to implement signed integer overflow much like unsigned integer overflow, then x will eventually come around to 7 anyways, so the answer must be 420.

It's not the wrong way around. The assertion failure being discussed happens when the function returns false, which happens when both sides of the || are false. Technically he should have said "less than or equal to 120" rather than just "less than", but otherwise it's accurate.

There are most certainly guarantees on the generated assembly. The assembly has to enforce the abstract machine. I want to know how it does that. It can change, that's fine, it can be improved, it can be made worse, but the idea that the rust program doesn't run on physical hardware, as explicitly stated in the article, is pure bullshit.
