Re: Independent of income

Living near a noisy highway is rarely prime real estate. How do we account forincome when there are so few in that subset?

I also wouldn't discount the effect of endless stress. That is, the drone of noise. I recently moved from to a street that's fairly busy. Only in the middle of the night is it quite. I don't like it.
I am rather amazed by the patience people have.
In my island province here in Canada the biggest animal was the red fox (vulpes vulpes) until about ten years ago. Then suddenly coyotes appeared seemingly overnight. It drove foxes into the towns and cities or killed them off in rural areas.

It's amazing to witness such a sudden change although I've read they arrived in 1983. It's very densely populated here but also rural it's many small towns spread out plus two bigger cities. Coyotes were easily spotted since they stood out compared to a fox or even a dog.

It's not really a true coyote it's canis latrans or the "eastern coyote", or "coywolf". They're bigger than a true coyote, they're smarter, and they live in packs of a dozen.

The Coywolf is also more dangerous than a coyote or wolf. There are reports from people who were out walking and upon seeing a large dog they turned back around. When walking back they discovered they were being herded into a trap of several Coywolves. One woman in Cape Breton was killed by Coywolves when she was out for a walk in a wooded area.
(why are there no “real” USB-C hubs? some say that it is due to the lack of the existence of a chip that Intel is going to release "any time now" for like a year now… others say that the power delivery requirements of USB-C make this really tricky)

Amazing bibliography, albeit doesn't seem to mention anything from the last 10-15 years. Is the field that stable?
> it’s not like you could place an order for e.g. “five breaded shrimp, three grams of braised pork, two wontons’ worth of wonton soup, ...” from a Chinese restaurant. You could only order each of these in larger amounts, because there are fixed costs to making a dish.

This seems to work at dim sum places, maybe because most dim sum seem to be portioned into, and then steamed, in small bamboo baskets.

Trains do use brake shoes on the wheels, and in some cases disc brakes. All trains have mechanical braking capability, as far as I know. Many also have electric braking, especially passenger trains with frequent stops, which is either regenerative or dissipated as heat via resistors. Freight trains tend to use mechanical breaking, but have infrequent stops and can plan a long slow-down. In any case, the braking force has to be transmitted somehow to the wheels before it is transmitted to the rails. There is only rarely wheel on rail sliding outside of emergency situations. But, particulates of steel on steel sliding should be relatively benign. A good train system is better utilized compared to cars as well.

All this is to say that yes, there are fine particulates from trains, but it should normally be much less than from living near a highway.

The first moment it happened was when my oldest was about 7 (My oldest is 22 youngest is 13) and she yelled at me for doing something wrong. (I was a lousy parent early on) But she was right and I was wrong, and it hurt really bad (emotionally/pride) but I admitted she was right, but I asked her to speak to me respectfully about when I am wrong.

This took years of patience and still my oldest doesn't do well with this, but the other kids are fairly ok with it.

It's not perfect, we all still have some conflict, but the resolutions are swift and emotions don't linger after a conflict.

It's taken more time for me to figure out how to treat others well than it has to teach my kids. Once I figured something out, getting them to behave like I am is the easier part.
Unless your company is Abbvie or Gilead, I don't think there's a lot your average company can specifically do.

The best thing any company can do is to offer paid sick leave and make employees feel psychologically safe for choosing to stay home and recover when they are sick so they never feel pressured to show up with a cold or flu and get everyone else sick.
Not only for macs... I have 4 raspberry pi4 powered through an USB hub and spent quite a bit of time looking for one that had at least 4 ports and that every port could deliver a minimum of 5V-3A. The US amazon had a few, but trying to find them (or similar) in several european Amazons was quite difficult.
This is great. I always wonder why amazon itself is so useless in this space. The only thing you can go is price and reviews there, without any good comparisons between products.
Being a file format is only one aspect of what SQLite is. SQLite describes itself as "SQLite is a C-language library that implements a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured, SQL database engine." I think that is a better, more encompassing, description than "it's a file format"

Edit:

If SQLite lacked any ability to persist data to disk, it would still be very useful as an in-process SQL engine for many sorts of problems. Certainly not as useful as it currently is, but nevertheless still useful.

I'd say the file format without the SQL engine, or the SQL engine without the file format, would be like peanut-butter without jelly. Certainly not pointless, but the real magic comes from the combination of the two.

You might get a better response by saying something constructive, such as how Whitney could have predicted its effect on society given what was known at the time. Because it’s easy to want to have an ethical framework that results in good outcomes for everyone, but predicting outcomes is very hard.
> Had the GBA architects made the device halt on invalid memory rather than return the last thing on the bus and hope everything would be ok this entire class of bug wouldn't exist and the authors of that code likely would've found that bug during production.

Of course, would it matter if these bugs were found? The games ran fine on real hardware.

There’s no maintenance burden either, because updating a gba game is literally impossible.

Not only it's easier to do than LD_PRELOAD these days, you actually _do_ get real elevated capabilities.
It is another layer, but it has as small as possible dependence on the below layers (UIKit, OpenGLES, posix) and instead tries to reimplement everything. For instance, if you want a slider control, that’s not going to use UISlider underneath, it’s going to reimplement it from scratch.

The problem with this is that it is an enormous task and they have barely scratched the surface of it.

Flutter is hardly the first reimplement the world GUI programming environment that tries to match the existing first party environment in terms of look and feel. Java swing was pretty much the same idea 20 years ago, and probably had more investment and momentum behind it than Flutter does today. While I can think of a number of swing success stories, I don’t think java swing as a whole was successful in what it set out to do.

You're still relying pretty heavily on the BIOS to write to this region that you otherwise wouldn't be. Getting the legacy framebuffer region set up to be decoded to the graphics card is using some hacks to get it to work over PCI[e]. The memory controller/PCI root complex needs to be configured to forward transactions to the the legacy A and B segments to the PCI bus using a proprietary bit to enable that MMIO hole. To enable correct decoding of that, all PCI bridges on the path to the graphics device need to be specially marked in their config space bridge control as being "VGA compatible" so that legacy framebuffer hole requests and VGA IO ports can ultimately be forwarded to the graphics device. This needs to exist because the root ports/host bridges in the system base and limit need to encompass the addresses of their children as well as needing to exist in a hole that the memory controller/root complex knows to forward requests down to PCI.
Would have guessed the opposite, FWIW, on the grounds that the bad stuff is hard materials (like mine dust). But if anyone actually knows that would be interesting. How good a measure is total PM2.5 or whatever, without asking about what it's made of?

That said, as was pointed out below, changing the car's design to vacuum up brake dust would be much easier than getting away from rubber.
What does that statement mean? As far as i know stack VS AST is Apple VS. Oranges. If you meant a register based architecture that would make sense. I don't know is wasm code is verifiable, in which case it's trivial to rewrite it to a register like architecture (like dalvik does for jvm bytecode).

I think the two most important difference would be that the astronauts are basically in constant communication and are also extremely busy.

It might also be slightly different in that I'm pretty sure that astronauts could leave whenever they want (in that I'm pretty sure the ISS always has a capsule ready in case of an emergency). Granted, it would be bad if an astronaut just whimsically decided to land, and you do need to be "rescued" once you land, whether on land or sea, but that's more than the lighthouse keepers had. Just knowing you can or can't leave, if you really, really want to, makes the psychological difference between "a remote place you are choosing to stay" and "a prison".
I live near a four lane road which is quite busy. I'm only about 50m away but there are two blocks of houses between me and lots of trees. The road speed is 60km/h but most vehicles travel 80km/h. I wonder if speed has some effect of whipping up the pollutants more?

The road is near the main hospital. My town is not a very big maybe 70,000 total spread out over a large area. But ambulances go by once or twice per hour more frequently in the summer. The noise from them bother me more than fumes although I can't smell fumes or see nano-scale sized particulates.

So if I start to act crazy...well, crazier, here in the comments you'll all know why. And before I do.
Neither. The main delay is due to a problem with the GE9X engines. Some of the internal components were wearing out faster than expected so they had to redesign them.

That's because Rollercoaster tycoon and Transport tycoon (of which Openttd is a remake) were made by the same programmer: Chris Sawyer.
The criticism is on the nomenclature, not what's being provided. "Structured programming" is... pretty well named IMHO. Serverless is a misnomer at best and borders on fraud/false advertising from the name alone.

The technologies are fine and there are potentially useful cases for it. It's no silver bullet though and is overhyped IMHO.
Does this plan have a market? I thought the airbus A380 was having a very bad time and airlines don't want it anymore because it's too big.
It depends somewhat on why you ask.

A lot of people are recommending using cross platform solutions. As a hobby or learning exercise, go for it! As someone who has a career across many projects working full time as a native iOS and Android dev, I can say these solutions are generally avoided. They are good for prototypes you don’t plan to maintain long term, I’ll give them that.

I know it’s cheesy but my only regret is I didn’t go all-in on mobile sooner. I have been on a constant upward career trajectory since the day I put my first app on the store. Get an app on the store as soon as you can and if it gets traction listen to feedback and update it. If you’re early in your career this will be the only thing on your resume that matters. I highly recommend you start with iOS just because the tools are more friendly for beginners. Watch WWDC/Google IO sessions and keep up with the latest. However it’s best to keep a healthy distance with things that only support the newest OS. For instance I wouldn’t build an app in SwiftUI yet but I follow it like a hawk because it’s likely to be the only way Apple platform apps are made very soon. Closely follow VR/AR frameworks and machine learning. Those will become must-know this decade.

Mobile dev is so rewarding! Every developer should at least dip their toes in.
After this article has been uncovered by HN, that may just be about to change.
The original document is from SQLite documentation. I think it’s fair for them to make a case why sometimes a file database > a server database. People asking these questions are not stupid. We all have to start somewhere.
I want to comment on this but...
This is the aluminum issue. Creation of new requires a ridiculous amount of electrify.

So... Aluminum ore is shipped from all around the world to Iceland where electrify is super cheap. There it’s smelted and processed.

Then it’s shipped mostly back around the world to China where its processed alloy and sponge, then around the world again if it isn’t rolled, extruded, forged, etc.

So... forgive me, but any process that revolves around adding electricity to a process like this, makes me think “another aluminum”. Where everything side looks over the true costs of shipping things around the world a couple times before they end up in a landfill.
That sounds smart, but the numbers say otherwise. "Invest it all now" is the best strategy. In your case, you just lost 3 years of nice recovery percentages.

We still have a multi user desktop application that uses the Borland database engine and dbf files over a windows file server. The BDE is no longer supported but it still works
One of the most direct examples of this for the HN demographic is the migration of tech workers from San Francisco to Seattle, which has similar wages but no income taxes and no capital gains taxes. That saves tens of thousands of dollars per year on income tax alone. It isn't a secret that of the two big factors incentivizing people to move to Seattle from San Francisco, one of them is the substantially reduced tax incidence (the other factor being quality of life).

There is definitely a threshold where people start arbitraging tax differences between States, though it doesn't happen often because demographic and lifestyle preference dimensions also factor heavily. The partial de-correlation between tax policy and predominant demographics/lifestyle in recent years, combined with relentless tax increases in some jurisdictions, has created an environment ripe for tax arbitrage.
“"Happy" made $2,700 in publisher and songwriter royalties from 43 million Pandora streams in the first quarter of 2014, according to an email from music publisher Sony/ATV CEO Marty Bandier” -paragraph 2, italics mine; that’s $2700 to the publisher, who then gave some part of that to the artist.

But then paragraphs 4/5 say that
“Fusion's Rob Wile points out that these numbers aren't all inclusive and don't include performance rights royalty rates, so Pharrell likely earned [...] approximately $25,000 from the 43 million plays”

And later on Pandora says that
“Pandora paid all rights holders more than $150,000 in just three months [for “Happy” and anywhere from one to a half dozen other songs mentioned in the Sony CEO’s email, there is a lot of ambiguity here IMHO], substantially more than the $6,100 he suggests.”

There’s a pretty wide disparity in the numbers they are throwing around; if I am reading this all correctly then it seems that Sony may be saying “Sony and Pharrel got a few thousand bucks of royalties due to him as the composer of Happy” while ignoring that he also got about $150k of estimated royalties due to him as the performer of this specific recording of “Happy”, with an unspecified sum on top of that going to Sony and maybe various other people involved in arranging and producing the track.

Music royalties are really complicated.
New Community Isotope Database: for researchers who use stable isotope analysis
Libpng wasn't good example regarding size indeed, my main focus was security and how much of things it can affect.

For heavy libraries, good example is Qt and KDE. KDE would preload all necessary libraries so KDE and Qt applications could start faster, and there was significant differences when Qt application was started under KDE comparing other desktop environment.

Don't forget that under X11, everything is linked with X11 libraries and many applications with either Qt or Gtk, which brings own set of additional dependencies (pango, cairo, etc).

> Regarding security issues. I imagine that we will gradually rewrite everything in memory-safe languages such as Rust

I'm not sure how this will save us from programming errors. You just move from one surface (memory) to another (VM, compiler, package manager) with added complexity.
Yes! You've defined the difference between an RDBMS (the server process and whatever else it does) and the file format the data is stored in.

SQLite is just a file format. If you want it served up over some kind of server, you have to build your own (and most people do), or use a server that somebody else has built for you (there's a couple out there).
The problem is if they create the illusion of not destroying the world while continuing to do so. Which is really a key issue in the CCS debate.
That doesn't seem particularly hard to add.

I agree the conscious AGI stuff is the tricky part. But, then maybe it's not. Maybe it's not as clever as we think it is, and if you have a good enough self-attention model the AGI just needs to be symbolic logic.

I'm thinking something that'd pass a turing test, btw. Not something that's hyper smart.
The data linked in comments actually shows that far fewer people visited the library than the movies. So the initial title was the opposite of reality.
That developing for Android isn’t even as half as smooth as developing for iOS. Yes, with iOS you’re using Xcode and have to set up provisioning for your dev device and all that, but once you’ve done that you’re mostly on your way. UIKit, while not the shiniest thing out there, is quite competent and functional — you can easily write world class apps with it while keeping third party libraries to a minimum.

On Android, setting up for development is a bit faster but the actual development story is so, so much worse. Kotlin improved things a great deal and Jetpack improves it further, but it still has such a long way to go. You’ll spend inordinate amounts of time researching the “right” way to do things only to find that there really isn’t one, but instead several ways with varying levels of wrongness with different trade offs. Even mundane things will be a source of trouble and you will likely have to make concessions in your UI design to work around Android SDK awkwardness.

If I could just have UIKit on Android I would be a much, much happier Android dev. Hoping Jetpack Compose improves the situation but I’m not holding my breath.

First, I agree and would also like to say the semantic web idea is roughly 25 years old, which is such a short time period that saying something is dead/failed seems a little silly.

Second, I would say the idea is more realistic now than ever.

Now we have:

- Git so you can cheaply & collaboratively experiment + evolve both data encodings and schemas

- Faster, more reliable type checkers and code/data refactoring tools

- Deep learning agents that are showing promising gains in question/answering challenges so I can see in the very near feature DLAs coauthoring semantic content alongside humans

- As always, more programmers, faster bandwidth, more data, faster computers, etc.

I think technology is getting to the point where the semantic web could happen relatively quickly.

That being said, I still don't know if it will happen because I now am not sure if there is are strong economics forces that would impede such a thing.
