Alpha particles generally cannot penetrate the skin, much less clothing or shoes. Betas can get through skin but probably not shoes. There is some energy dependence. Secondary decays and energy transitions often emit gamma rays as well which can go through everything, but the majority of the energy with these nuclides are alphas and betas.

These are primarily dangerous because they're water soluble and present an ingestion and inhalation hazard. Once a large amount of a strong alpha-emitter is in your intestines it can really cause damage.

Ask HN: If HN were to disappear tonight whats your next fix?
I'm always worried about loosing something nice I've found. HN is so unique in that you have topics ranging from sea shells to semi conductors and beyond. 9/10 times I view the comments even before opening the article. It speaks of where my priorities are at and I'm sure it's similar for the others.
If for whatever reason HN changes, where will you be flocking to next for the goods that only HN could provide until then?
Once More with Feeling
Go for it. Good luck.
We on HN can cut them some slack, but unfortunately that's not how users think in the wild, and that was my point.

Such social media apps are extremely hard to overtake due to the critical mass effect, and that's the reason why Facebook still stands after all this time. Even sites that are strictly better than Facebook often fail due to not having enough users, let alone those that are worse. Unless there's a very strong incentive for users to use byte over TikTok, there's no way it will survive.

The official launch is the one time a bunch of people may give you the benefit of the doubt and try your app, and if you fall so short on the first impression, most people will probably never give it another try. And again, without users, there's no content, and without content, there's no users.

"I wonder how long before they'll ban adversarial masks or hats in the name of safety or some other such nonsense..."

In the US it's long been illegal to wear masks in public. From what I understand, this was done as a response to KKK members wearing masks to intimidate their victims and hide their identity.

However, I've personally never seen or heard of the anti-mask laws enforced, and I see Asian people wearing surgical masks in public relatively often, without any legal consequence that I'm aware of. People wearing masks on Halloween also seems to be not only tolerated but encouraged. And, while concern about the Wuhan coronavirus lasts, I expect to see a lot more masks worn in public.

Of course there are certain locations like banks, jewellery stores, courthouses and other government buildings, where wearing a mask probably won't be looked upon too kindly.

Quick question:

How much do you spend each year?

Follow up:

How much is discretionary and could be cut?

In my experience very few people can answer that, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

The fact that I have friends--grown adults!--who don't know how much money the spend each month or year... is just astonishing!

No wonder the author came to their conclusions.

To be fair, the author seems to be suggesting using double-precision floating point. If you use integer numbers of pennies, signed 32-bit integers cap out at a similar value of $21M. 32 bits is just too small for financial calculations.

My point is that cutting spending alone does not do anything. You burn calories in idle. You do not make money the same way.

For most people you have pretty decent physical control over what goes down your throat. However you can’t just choose to not pay for things. You or your family get sick? Car accident? Want to have a child? Need to buy something expensive for your occupation?

Granted, with both money and calories compulsion can be a problem, but I’m kind of sick of the focus on this aspect because most poor people I know aren’t poor because they spent any more irresponsibly than me or anyone well off I know. And I don’t know anyone who makes less than I do that has more savings. People want to believe they have worked hard to get where they are and I understand that because I feel the same way. But not acknowledging that poverty is a wage/cost of living issue is not helping the world.

I've said this many times but I find it amusing how I get downvoted every time I bring up the stock market. Seems like so many on here think it's a scam, a bubble, or something else.

The reality is anyone who has thought like that over the last 10 years has missed out on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to multiply their savings from the recession lows.

I'm convinced most on here essentially missed out and trying desperately to justify their mistake through negative thinking.

And no one is saying you need to invest in individual stocks outside the S&P. It isn't "luck" to make money on an index fund. Perhaps you can argue it is "luck" to beat the market, but not to simply grow your money investing in the broad market.
There are lots of elderly people in California that never had high incomes, but now have a few million in wealth. They often don't feel wealthy because they often don't feel comfortable using the financial tools that would give them some liquidity.
I'd say it depends on the features: smooth scrolling was pretty cool at the time (1998/1999), so to me, a nicer and faster UI made a huge difference given other user experience improvements as well.

Also, Netscape was extremely buggy as well: I remember moving friends and family to IE as it was a much better experience in general. For example, one very annoying bug (given the slow downloads at 28.8) was Netscape would often not use its cache for certain code paths and would re-download files again, even if it had them in its cache. In particular window resizing would cause it to re-download files for no reason (this was obviously well before anything like responsive layouts, or imgsrc), and you'd often wait 30-40 seconds to see the page again.

Similarly, I seem to remember IE's "offline mode" worked almost perfectly from the cache and you could revisit pages when not dialed up, but Netscape often would not show anything.
(Obviously there were other ways of handling this, like Teleport Pro to download entire sites, but it was convenient IE's features generally just worked from a user perspective).

> A household income of $60k just does not budget well today.

It doesn’t make any sense to talk about “budgeting” with a household income of $60,000. That includes everything from married couples with kids in expensive cities to young single professionals in low cost cities. It makes more sense to look at median income by household type: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicatio...

As to geography, the states with a median income around the national median are Oregon, Wyoming, and Wisconsin. These are places where a family home can be bought for well under $300,000.

Additionally, the statistics include households of all age groups, including young single people. The median income for a family household is $80,000. For married couples it’s $93,000. For a family of 4 in Wisconsin, the median was $89,000 in 2017.

As to health insurance: In the $50-75k demographic, 90% of people are insured, so the cost of birth is covered by insurance. (Most children are born to lower income people, for whom Medicaid is available. Half of all births are covered by Medicaid.)

For processes >= 40nm, the number is the gate length of the transistor. For smaller processes, the number is (approximately) the equivalent gate length that would result in the same transistor density (transistors per mm^2) as if the gate length had been reduced to that size, assuming everything else was scaled proportionately.

The trick is, not everything else scaled proportionately. The gate lengths (mostly) stopped shrinking at around 34nm but other things kept shrinking, so the overall transistor density kept going up.

(And that assumes planar transistors. Things like FinFET or nanowire which make the transistor structure 3d instead of 2d further disconnect the gate length from the achievable density.)
There are significant architectural differences in components of Blink, WebKit, Gecko. For example, the CSS style recalculation is very different—Blink uses a single-threaded engine in C++, WebKit uses a C++ JIT, and Gecko does multithreaded style recalculation in Rust. It would be hard to do WebKit or Gecko's approach with the current Chromium governance, because WebKit's CSS JIT uses parts of JavaScriptCore (per my understanding) and because Chromium doesn't currently allow Rust code.

For example, look at OpenAI's latest paper on scaling Transformers "Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models" https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08361 , Kaplan et al 2020:

larger models are better, in the entire range they test up to billion-parameter models, in pretty much every way - they need hardly any additional data, achieve lower losses, they train faster, they can be parallelized better, and they're even more compute-efficient and sample-efficient (!).
Yeah isn't this just a real bad idea? There's no 0.1 in half/single/double precision arithmetic for one. Is "speed of financial calculations" really the bottleneck for these apps? I kind of doubt it.
This is probably the first article on HN I wish I could downvote. Excluding inflation is super disingenuous.

We may be spending more, but it's on the order of 3-5% more (not counting debt spending), with the remainder of the income gain being wiped out by inflation.

I will say the exercise analogy is actually very correct though. Income gain helps very little at all with wealth since it helps very little at all due to inflation.
"Focus-follows-mouse, even sloppy, is problematic on macOS due to the menu bar. Moving the mouse up to the menu bar means covering space which can belong to a different window, which would change the meaning of the menu item when you got there."

This is true, but easily surmountable.

Mondomouse, which is the last bona-fide focus-follows-mouse add-on that existed for OSX (circa snow leopard) had a switch timer that was user-definable.

So you could set the switch timer to .5 seconds or 1 second or something which would allow you to run the mouse across other windows without changing focus. That solved the menu bar problem that you are, correctly, pointing out.

I think it's also worth mentioning that if you're at the point where you're demanding FFM, you're probably already doing everything with hotkeys anyway so it's not like you're running up to the menu bar often ...

Usually pretty good. The package management is completely centered around Pkg.jl, which is integrated in the REPL and you can also import it to your program for more advanced scripting. If you don't create an environment, everything is added to the global user library, and if you do create it, it will automatically manage your projects dependency files, and each environment/package can have it's own independent versions of each library (so you don't really have dependency hell issues, but you might end up with more disk space due to multiple versions of the same library, although it will respect semver when keeping multiple libraries).

Pkg.jl is based on git/github with a central registry that can I believe it's automatically updated with new packages using bots. The current version also has native supports for automatically deploying binaries and other stuff like datasets, that can be optionally loaded on demand.

Most troubles I hear is with more strict enterprise firewall scenarios and perhaps Julia JIT making it compile the libraries every time (though that's not an issue with the package manager).

>Using element.innerHTML is incorrect as SVG elements shouldn't have a innerHTML property

Is that definitely the case? Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all return a value for the innerHTML property of an element in an SVG document.

This W3C spec [0] specifically mentions XML documents in addition to HTML documents. And as I understand it, it seems like embedded SVG elements also inherit from the Element interface which includes InnerHTML.

IE11 might also be correct, following an older spec, but I don't think you can jump to the conclusion that Chrome is wrong just because the property is called innerHTML.

Not exactly a polyglot script, but a while back I had to work on a cluster whose job management system always ran everything as shell scripts. Or rather, it had to be run as a shell script in order to set the right cluster options. I wanted to submit an R script, so what did I do? I wrote a file that was both a bash script and an R script. When run as an R script, it does what I want it to do. When run as a bash script, it runs itself as an R script (after setting the cluster options). Problem "solved".

I don't have a source per se, just somewhat high level of confidence based on the following (weak, circumstantial) evidence:

- There was a lot of bioweapons R&D done in the XX century[0]; it all seems to have been abandoned between the 70s and the 90s, but since the desire for it is not gone, it would be atypical for humanity if it really all ended;

- Biological sciences keep progressing; each year, developing bioweapons is easier than it was the year before, and since our control over biological systems grow, so (I believe) the allure of a controlled bioweapon.

- You have people like John Sotos - Intel's Chief Medical Officer and a colonel in the Air National Guard - delivering talks like [1], going all serious about the threat of future bioweapons. He seems to think that this is a real danger.

- My general tried and true heuristic that if something is within realms of technological feasibility and promises a clear economic or political benefit, it will be attempted, no matter how horrible it is.

Yes it is, and the image I link to was created with GraphViz. I don't seem to be able to make it create an HTML5/CSS layout, though.

Which is what I'm asking for.

Searching for GraphViz and HTML, or searching for HTML in the GraphViz documentation, gives results for the content of nodes, and not rendering the layout via HTML. So I can't how it can be made to work.

If you can provide suggestions on how to make GraphViz do this I would be ecstatic, because I use GV all the time - it is usually my tool of choice.

Thanks.

I find the article to be pretty lineant, or amusingly silent, on "why" IE technologies never got adopted or standardized.

I am old enough to remember the time where VML and the others were invented. And at this time "Open Source" was still called by Microsoft a "cancer", and Linux users frightened for patent violation every 2 month by MS.

It would have been insane to re-implement or standardized anything coming from Microsoft at this time, leading you for sure in front of a judge for patent infringement...

Anything coming from Microsoft was radioactive due to stupid political decisions and aggressive patent & IP attitude.
