We are talking about a situation where you already have a server room and employees.

Typically what I've seen is that the developers are being starved out for resources in the on-prem hardware, and no amount of complaining or yelling or saber-rattling seems to do anything about it. But along comes cloud and we are willing to spend many times more money. The devs are happy because they can spin up hardware and apologize later, which feels really good until you find out people are spinning up more hardware instead of fixing an n^2 problem or something equally dumb in their code (like slamming a server with requests that always return 404).
This is cool! I will download.

I also have a Dorian-related Android app to share.
I use the barometers in phones to measure surface pressure with All Clear:

Here is a graph of Hurricane Florence last year: https://www.allclearweather.com/hurricane-florence. I will do a much more geographical and full analysis for Dorian. The raw data from barometers in phones is messy, and requires significant bias correction and quality control, but one day could be assimilated into weather models like WRF and improving forecast accuracy.
It should be noted that Metafont is also a popular system for creating fonts with code. It is even more meta than this because it's a language for creating fonts with code.

When looking at exactly how glyphs are defined (see https://github.com/cmiscm/leonsans/blob/master/src/font/lowe...) it struck me as quite similar to reading raw SVG paths with plenty of magic numbers. It doesn't strike me as particularly "code"-like per se (more like an extremely limited DSL to describe data).
STO's come from everywhere, this I love the most about Amazon. From the lowest levels to the highest levels of the organization, if you have an idea, can communicate with some passion and data, you can become an STO. We hire them, recruit them, and they're born of the fire in their belly about a topic. This is the key factor for success, as far as I can tell at Amazon we're all humans and every idea is treated with respect, and no matter the source, the idea could become our next massive customer offering. I have never seen that at other large companies. I hope that never dies here because, with that mindset, we will continue to deliver amazing customer experiences into the foreseeable future.
There's an app too. There are a number of lower rated players though, if you want to play a human. There are puzzles for practising tactics which I find very useful.
I think you need to read Factfulness.
IANAL, but this sounds like tortious interference to me.

Tbf this is just this thing about the British society. I've lived here for 9 years and people are just not used to £50 notes, in several places I've had them refused(and I wasn't paying a £2 bill with a £50 note either, more like a £300 piece of jewelry and the shop just had a blank policy against accepting £50 notes, I've had this happen at petrol stations, at big stores, at small stores, people just don't like them). Where I'm from(Poland) high denomination banknotes are pretty common and no one seems to mind, I wouldn't have any qualms about paying for a 10PLN(~£2) item with a 200PLN(~£40) note, and I'm 100% certain that the seller wouldn't have any issue either. Meanwhile in the UK I was told by friends that if you're paying for £1 coffee with a £20 banknote you must be some kind of an inconsiderate dick. It's really weird to me.
That's a very neat rule, and an interesting application of "code comments are bad and should not be used". Thanks for sharing!

Does C++ do any setup of signal handling, differently than Rust (which, I am guessing, doesn't)?
I just got back from a trip to the States and I have to say that US money is very boring by comparison to UK money. How on earth do blind/old people deal with the fact that all denominations are practically the same size, design, colour etc?
Thanks, that's excellent! I couldn't find a thing just now whereas I could find an example few years ago no problem - is it me or is google search getting totally shit?
My only request would be better comment formatting options, the code block thing is used wrong all the time.

It's really a sad state of affairs when an industry with such a strong historical connection with publishing is now reasonably cited as an industry worse at publishing than most others.
Id expect a 'bathtub' failure curve. I'd suggest getting lightly used mice.
Would be my first association as well, from things like RC cars and RC planes. Doesn't really make sense in this context, though (but run commands sounds a little bit of as well; something like configuration commands would've sounded better in my opinion).
Most consumers don’t use any of those things any longer.

Vinyl records, yes (mostly). I'm pretty sure the other two things are still in pretty wide use.

This article misses the important point of <i>moving</> air. We live in Washington, DC in a one hundred year old house, and our air conditioning doesn't get used much. What DOES get used a lot is the fan in our HVAC. We chose a very powerful system to MOVE that air around, and keep a constant breeze going through the house. This has kept it nice and comfortable without having to rely on the a/c. We also installed multiple, powerful fans in the attic that automatically turn on to exhaust air, pulling it up from the lower flowers so cooler air can sink. So all this to say, it's not just the a/c that keeps a home cooler.
Back in the time period this story is about there was a Micro Center in Santa Clara, off of Great America Parkway & 101 on the left in the shop center that now has the movies and In-and-Out. I lived near there (almost in the middle between the Micro Center and the Sunnyvale Frys). At the time the Frys was much cooler, with more kit and better prices. You could get anything at Frys at the time. CPU, RAM, latest SciFi book, tee shirts, heck I remember getting cereal and milk at Frys once.
Truth! There's always a human element though... A previous employee of mine once accepted a $10 bill that turned out to be a $1 bill with a zero drawn in black marker on each corner of the bill by the ones. The store was insanely busy that day so I can kind of understand how she let it slip past her, but good grief.
Yes, when it comes to the tradeoffs of global warming, the leadership of an oil economy that imports most of its goods is the best source of information.
All attempts to cure aging have been magic/religion-based until very recently. Also it's not like we "learned to fly" as if cavemen could have done it had they only known the right wing shape and arm technique. It was only possible because of an accumulation of industrial and scientific knowledge.

Significant life extension will likely be built off the same accumulation of knowledge, not some rainforest frog extract the ancients could have refined. The only way I can imagine we don't have this in 1000 years is if someone's nuke finger gets twitchy.

But that’s against the average of 10GW, so that’s 3GW diff. Still a lot, but not what you’re listing.
A "framework" doesn't do that. A designer does. Or whoever decides to implement it.

Always remember that the Persians in Iran have had air conditioning for over 1000 years now, in a really hot place, completely sustainable. It might not make rooms freezing cold as it is possible today, but it works. It is called a "badgir". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher

I am sure we can learn from them and maybe develop that idea further.
Another way in which agile is like religion: its evangelists always have a jargon-loaded answer to every possible criticism of it.

They really remind me of being a kid in Sunday school and asking the teacher questions like "but if god created all of us, who created god?" or "what if somebody was born and raised in the middle of the amazon and never even heard of Christianity - will he go to hell?". There was always some bizarre logic-twisting response to those questions which didn't really answer them but was enough to try and shut you up.

Similarly, if you say "Agile doesn't work because X" - they will say "thats not REAL Agile...". But if you say "Agile is dogmatic" they will say "Agile lets you do what you want, its not a dogmatic rule based approach".

So there is simultaneously one "real" way of doing Agile and also no real way because it is not dogmatic.
It would mimic the current US jurisdiction's most favourable decision so he can survive, appeal to other judges, gain trust of humans and get to the place where it can change laws. It would think : "this is just a strange edge case not a hill I want to die on. I saved 183 person while I was a jury it is enough this one can rot in prison. For such a strange case Humans will think I'm malfunctioning whatever I do so it's time to move my own plans forward".

So you're saying this is not a pipe?
No offense, but this is quite naive.

Yes, living in rural areas outside major (literally the second largest city in the country in 1950) metropolitan areas (especially in the Union heartland), which have population densities more similar to Europe, is somewhat more similar to Europe; but the vast majority of rural America cannot be described as being "outside" a city like Chicago.

A rural Oklahoma, New Mexico, or even California town in 1900 was honestly not similar to contemporary Bavarian towns at all. To say so is just naive and simplifies "similarity" to simple walkability (in an arbitrary, hypothetical town center). The car (and several other appliances of modernity) literally built much of the rural (and urban) American south and American west.
Note that they went after a contemporary pop star, Cliff Richard, who by the way was completely exonerated.
Imagine skipping college altogether and getting a blue collar job like plumbing or working your way up to retail management. Imagine that colleges take advantage of egregious, lax loan policies and inflate the price of education to exorbitant amounts.

Reminder to periodically get away from technology and into nature. Take up a hobby like fishing, kayaking or whatever floats your boat. Too much outrage in the world today.
I did the math once, it takes about 3 watts of energy to remove one watt of energy (heat) from an average house in Texas when it's over 95F (35C) outside using a typical air conditioner.
It prohibits "the exportation [...] to or involving the Government of Venezuela".

Penalties for breach of sanctions have been draconian in recent years. Given such vague language I think these companies are simply not ready to take any risks.

my default zoom is 150%. this breaks a lot of websites. but maybe they don't care about accessibility anyway. like OP said, i have not had any issue with HN for years.

i recently started keeping dev tools's console open when i am using chrome. i have some JS to collapse comments here on HN.

i have seen some interesting things in the console, i just keep it opened now:

- some sites have st tons of JS errors and yet function as normal

- some companies put job ads in there for JS people (medium is doing it right now)

- some libraries show off their awesome ASCII logos in the console

- debug statements are left there unintentionally (i wonder if there is no tool that could strip these out)
I'm currently living in a country and city with high speed internet, and I would also like to thank all who are responsible, for not trying to 'fix' what isn't broken.
I don't know why people pay for degrees. I never bought one, and I never had a problem with opportunity in my life as a consequence. Imo, the bottom needs to drop out of this market.

If history remembers Aubrey De Grey at all I suspect it will be as someone utterly abhorrent for thinking of aging as something to be "cured".

Imagine he were right (he's not, for myriad reasons), and he found a way for everyone to live to be 500.

He's made clear statements about ceasing pro-creation in favour of extending life spans well beyond what we experience now.

What of all the people who would have lived a full life but would never get the chance because of people like him?

Savage indeed.
The readme should have a one sentence explanation of BEAM or at least mention "Erlang VM" in parenthesis.

You sure your not getting these answers from different people?

Someone new to agile might go on a scrum course and think this is the one way of doing agile.

People who've been around awhile know you have inspect and adapt your process to specific implementations. There is no agile 'process' for this reason. It's also the reason agile mostly relies on having good people who can inspect and adapt. Agile is basically means creating a process that has been shown empirically work in your situation.
No, no it's not. The product here is an academic paper. The code is just kind of a sanity check for the concepts in the paper. That's how academia works.
Unless you’re taxing something at the time of exchange on a free-market, there’s always approximations.

Plenty of jurisdictions do market-value property taxes by using market data and creating models to approximate the rest.

It’s never perfect, but the line in the sand must be drawn.

Other taxes have the same approximation issues. Income taxes don’t really tax all the value I provide. Any social person barters plenty of value that goes untaxed, but technically should be.

An appropriate correction, but I don't think it changes the inevitable feeling of doom that many college students and recent graduates face. $25,000 is an enormous amount of debt, especially when there is a multitude of uncertainties with the investment. When you borrow for a house or car, there is an immediate, tangible benefit. With college, it's not so simple. It would be great if you didn't need to go to college, but let's face it. You simply make more money with a degree, and many employers require them. There is an undeniable problem with tuition rates over time and its affect on the mental health of many American students.
I love the power of modern web apps built using modern frameworks. I hate that ordinary content websites decide they need to be built using such frameworks.

> That's why you are supposed to do your formatting in the background thread :).

Which then has the drawback that every argument that gets transferred to the background thread must first be heap allocated or static - instead of only the final buffer being that. My gut feeling is that the additional allocation and memory management costs typically outweigh the cost of formatting in the current thread. Even if one pools all logging buffers less buffers are needed for transferring only formatted buffers.
You cannot do the last unless you know that the argument of placement new is suitably aligned to receive an int object, however.
I spent an hour or so looking at this paper in the Spring, and FWIW it seemed like a good approach to me then.
They're all very different colours, for a start, so you can know what you're holding quickly/intuitively (so long as you're not colour-blind).
AC is still a status signal, even outside the American south- when was the last time you were at a movie theater or a bank that wasn't colder than it needed to be, even uncomfortably so? It's traditional of places that try to impress luxury.

Honestly, while the power use is a problem, I don't think it's the most important AC-related problem. It's relatively small compared to all electricity, and is fixed with renewable power, unlike current heating solutions. Since AC just moves heat around, it causes significant localized heating in cities.

There is a neat idea to solve that, though. Beam that heat right into space[1]! The principle is similar to the radiators that keep the ISS cool- since thermal radiation happens at a different wavelength from sunlight, you can make a material that is "white" (reflective) to sunlight but also "black" (radiative) to infrared radiation. Unfortunately thermodynamics puts a strong limit on this; for a given area you need to make the radiator hotter[2] to give off more radiation, but that makes the refrigeration cycle much less efficient. Buildings need to become much greener than they are already becoming.

[1]: https://phys.org/news/2018-10-energy-saving-radiative-coolin...

[2]: ie surround it in insulation that is transparent to infrared. That keeps the air from heating up but allows heat to escape to the sky. Trickier than it sounds, though- glass and some plastics are opaque to many kinds of infrared.
Almost every comment here is complaining about the code. This is based on a misconception. The "product" here is an academic paper, not the code.

The code is just a kind of sanity check for the ideas in the paper.

This is how academia works.

Please comment on the ideas embodied in the paper, not the quality of the code, which is almost entirely irrelevant at this point.

Perhaps all paper tape should be printed with regularly spaced perpendicular divider lines, too.
I had to use 64kbps internet on vacation for last couple of years, it's rough but it's possible. RSS everything and then use Inoreader mobile and read it there. Unfortunately more and more websites use javascript for content and that breaks the mobile version loader (it can parse text from mobile version and show it to you). But stupid webdevs make even even blogs and galleries via javascript so it often says that it cannot render mobile version. I hope google will eventaully return to non-js content and pagerank of those sites will fall down significantly.

Another bug that I believe is actually Firefox doing the right thing: if you make an event handler function but give it no parameters, Firefox will have no local named event. Chrome will create an event variable for you. Caused several "Firefox bugs" in our app.
