Hosting in top .ru DCs like Selectel is vastly cheaper than on any AWS-likes. These are extremely different products though.

> ASCII (1967) allowed for them: c BS , or , BS c ↦ ç and e BS ' or ' BS e ↦ é. Encoding ç as 63 CC A7 is not manifestly better than encoding it as 63 08 2C.

Doesn't work for ñ, since the ASCII ~ is often typeset in the middle of the box instead of in a position to appear above an 'n' character. " is a pretty poor substitute for ◌̈ though, especially when you're trying to write ï as in naïve. And then there's the æ of archæology, which doesn't work with overwriting.

I'll also point out that ç is U+00E7 in Unicode and C3 A7 in UTF-8, not 63 CC A6, since it's a precomposed character (and NFC form is usually understood to be the preferred way to normalize Unicode unless there's a reason to do something else).
I would enthusiastically recommend IBM Q [0] and the command-line variant of Hello Quantum [1] to anyone who wants to investigate quantum circuits.

If you start googling (or searching with your engine of choice) about Quantum Logic Gates, Bell States, et c., you'll pick up the basic concepts pretty quickly. Then you can follow the rabbit hole from there.

I'm gonna take the contrary view - you don't have the source code for Windows kernel functions, so you can't see the comments, and even if you did, you wouldn't be able to click links to internal tickets. These smell exactly like specific workarounds for specific real-world issues where, for whatever reason, the documentation doesn't match reality. I've written lots of code where I write a two-paragraph comment in front of a one-line hack explaining why I'm doing something weird for now and why we hope to be able to clean up the code in five years - and that's just for legacy internal services, not weird CPU bugs. If you don't have the backstory and you just have the disassembled code, of course it will be "not at all obvious what problem Microsoft was trying to solve."

A VMM on an NX-capable CPU that doesn't support NX doesn't seem like something that's worth MS supporting. I'm going to guess they talked about it internally, and decided that whatever they needed to fix was worth the tradeoff. Maybe there's one CPU where NX is in fact supported but for whatever reason it's missing in CPUID, and you've never seen that CPU. Also, honestly, a VMM that doesn't support NX sounds remarkably like malware, if you run into it in production and not on the system of a hobbyist writing their own VMM, and failing hard when you know the CPU you're on supports NX and you know that CPUID is lying to you is an entirely reasonable decision.

Similarly, re skipping force-enable on 32-bit SSE2 CPUs - there's probably one CPU where the force-enable codepath causes some subtle problems, and this is the fastest/easiest way to identify that CPU, and they're not terribly concerned about accidentally missing some other cases. And again, you neither have the comments nor the `git blame` (or whatever MS uses) of that code nor the internal trouble ticket where someone spent weeks chasing down an elusive CPU bug. Of course it makes no sense to you.

And if there is some real problem behind these two cases, it's hardly true that "the original issue is long gone" - Windows has very long support cycles. This isn't a "problem in the IT industry," it's the reality of the game. If you want your code to work on real-world machines and you want real-world customers to pay your real-world salary, you have to write code for the world as it actually is, not as you wish it would be.
This sounds vaguely similar to Managed Service Identities in azure as well. Apps can ask a well-known IP that maps to a local service on the VM host for an oauth token to any azure service, and then it gets back a token with an identity tied to the VM/webapp/function app without needing to do any of the oauth flow itself. I don't think it quite gets to the point of signing content or encrypting connections, though I might have just never seen it.

> At some point you reach the physical limit of the system and exponential growth ends. This is true even for digital systems if the digital good involves some physical resource like energy, storage space, bandwidth, etc.

At some point well before that, the sun will go red giant and swallow earth, so that's sort of beside the point. In the meantime, if we continue to fuel GDP growth via inefficient use of non-renewable natural resources, we'll have big problems far sooner than any astrophysical limit sets in.
Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but this is/was a limitation imposed by Apple before iOS 13. On iOS 13 (on an ipad pro at least) you can now access an SD card via files, but before that it was Photos or a bespoke app from the manufacturer only. I've not tried on an iphone recently.

Yeah, I also find most modern "simple" apps and sites really confusing. Especially if they're social. Even Twitter's confusing as hell, despite doing very little. I bounced off Facebook in about a week back in 2011 or so, and never returned, because I couldn't figure out where anything was or where anything went, and it was less confusing back then from what I can tell.

This is a fun idea. It's well known that the reasoning for summer vacations was to allow the student to help out on a family farm, and yet most students (especially at younger ages) waste this time.

To me, and I suspect to many other people outside of Silicon Valley, this just sounds like "those 3 people you should know about just started a company". Fine.

I write real banking code. There is definitely a banking code that uses floats, e.g. valuation of financial instruments. The parent comment talks about software that does transactions and “simpler” calculations, like taxes and fees etc.

When people talk about non-determinism of floating point, what they usually mean is non-associativity, that is (x+y)+z may not be exactly equal to x+(y+z).
Most of your comments on HN today have been extremely condescending. Is 'xwdv a parody account? (Genuine question.)

Ridiculously high because they were touted as safer alternatives to the then popular barbiturates. Benzos are safer, it just turns out that benzos also have not-so-great long-term effects.

> Whenever I see someone handling currency in floats, something inside me wither and die a small death.

Meh. When used correctly in the right circumstances it is acceptable to use floats.

Here's an example. Suppose you are pricing bonds, annuities, or derivatives. All the intermediate calculations make essential use of floating point operation. The Black–Scholes model for example requires the logarithm, the exponential, the square root, and the CDF of the normal distribution. None of that is doable without floats.

Even for simpler examples it is sometimes okay to use floats. If you only ever need to store an exact number of cents, you can totally store the number of cents in a double. Integer operations are exact using IEEE-754 double operations when they are smaller than 2^53-1 or so. There's usually no benefit of doing so, but hey it's possible.
So it does. My mistake. Haven’t used the bang feature in a long time.

Either way, I use DDG by default on all my devices. I support as many companies as I can that don’t sell my data.

"Sullivan suggested that their goal is to return roughly the same annual revenue as they have been getting from PIR — around $50M. Of course this time it would come without the possibility of expanding the underlying business year by year."

This hurts my head. Needless to say, the returns on this fund will be _far_ less assured than the returns on simply maintaining the .org business as it was (especially with Goldman managing the fund).

The newer formulations - especially those that are slow release and combined with naloxone, are fine and have their use. The problem is the 20+ years of overprescribing straight up plain and crushable oxycontin that for a time was better than heroin

Doctors are turning to medical journals to fill in gaps in their knowledge.

Doctors are referring to textbooks to fill in gaps in their knowledge.

Any doctor who isn't doing that possibly is in the wrong profession. Indeed most of what is learned in a medical degree is so the doctor can assess these sources and embrace or reject them.

Doctors attend lectures at conferences. Always have. Now cheap video distribution exists. So now sometimes virtually attending the lecture on youtube that they otherwise would have not been able to see.

Surgical techniques are often better demonstrated than described, so videoing them makes some sense. Watching videos of techniques that have the potential to be better than what you are using is a very good thing. Assessing and rejecting them if it turns out the technique isn't better is obviously what any competent human being would do.

Quality control? Hell medical journals barely have that. Ask a statistician about medical journal quality control - it's only driving policy accross all of health care...

You have to assess sources, evidence, outcomes etc. for literally anything that is new or you suspect might need revisiting. Any doctor who can't do that effectively should not be using that particular source or possibly should not be a doctor at all.

The practioners of every single complex job have "gaps in their knowledge" - nobody knows everyting. Most if not all people faced with having to perform tasks where they don't have perfect knowledge are using resources to study. Online video is just one, very effective in certain cases, way of increasing knowledge.

CNBC may not be a way of increasing knowledge based on this article and I assess a youtube video demonstrating the reading of this article is something I might reject as being useful.

"I'm probably missing something - why didn't you just do X?"

And honestly I think phrasing isn't that important - if you know someone for months or years and aren't usually a dick - people won't automatically assume the worst.

Also this may be cultural. I've worked with English people and with Germans and the level of acceptable criticism and required disclaimers was very different. My own nation (Polish) seems to be somewhere in the middle but closer to Germans.

Where I work, we are given a generous amount of annual leave, and it's great. It ensures that you can essentially take a holiday whenever you want, and I find myself with days left towards the end of the year. The company also hardly refuses time off requests.

Compare that to the startup I used to work which had an "unlimited time off" perk, it was always a struggle to get actual time off, we were always rushing to get things done, or it was a difficult time, or another engineer was already on leave, it caused more stress than anything else.

I'm all for just giving a generous amount of annual leave, in my contract, with remaining days paid out.
I'm not even sure if you even read that list, given that it has tons of medicines that were discovered by researchers working for Roche, Sanofi, Chugai, and GlaxoSmithKline.

And the information on the pharmaceuticals involved fails to mention the feeder research that comes from universities in Cambridge, Zurich, London, Tokyo, etc. Most of this had gigantic participation of state research institutions, and if you look at the American pharma companies, almost all are based and house most of their research efforts in the state of New York and New Jersey, Massachussets, and the Bay Area, to the exclusion of pretty much everywhere else.

That makes for a great case of the utility of the well-funded research universities in forming staff for pharma, but it's not exactly a proof that any particular model of funding for pharma works better than others.

It's also interesting to note that most of these pharmaceuticals target and _incredibly small_ number of people worldwide at outrageous costs. Not to take merit away from the huge research efforts, but honestly it just shows where profit-driven research efforts go instead of rational, nation-wide public health initiatives that are objectively far better at increasing quality of life for entire populations.
Private Internet Access to Be Acquired by Kape
When I was coming up with and solving problems with a math friend I learned that proof by contradiction was perhaps the most common way to prove things. It’s strange to people who don’t work with math everyday, to everyone else it’s secondhand.
