I really feel for the position you're in. I've been in similar ones, but in smaller, more direct scopes (e.g. within a company) regarding technical issues other than UX.

This reminds me of "23 Minutes in Hell" which I've never read but was struck by the description of hell as 'annoying'. At first I thought that seemed lame, but then on further thought I realized at over eternity we could get used to many intense things. Annoying things no matter how annoying will always be annoying unless you can somehow psychologically reframe it.

Similarly, a girlfriend of mine used to always complain about a particular garage door which took forever to open. After hearing this many times and having shared her annoyance, I said that she should either do something about it or don't mention it as it will only linger in her mind amplifying it.

It's really unfortunate that these things are below the level where you're motivated to take action but elevated to the point of being intolerable. In hopes that you can get to the bottom of this, I'll just point out that you described this as 'an injustice that were happen to you' as where I would say that the injustice was inflicted on the public at large. I think it was something about you being hypersensitive to bad UX since you've come up with a plausible rational explanation of the situation but it doesn't lessen the experience. At least you don't also have an exceptional sense of smell. I'm always moving myself about in public transit to minimize my exposure to the wafting trails of former passengers.
Cola doesn't needs ads to be sold. It's tasty, people like it.

But ads and branding are powerful tools in creating huge companies.

What happens without that ? maybe the sugary drinks industry starts looking like the craft beer industry.

Is that a bad thing ?

Unless he is able to lobby for laws that make carbon emitters responsible for their externalities, I'm sure the winners will be big-ass companies like Amazon.
I wonder how certain it is that either General Stapp or Elizondo had visibility into all SAP's, including the unacknowledged ones.

Even if they knew about everything DoD was doing, what about the CIA, which has been known to have its own technology programs ?
No, you don't have to destroy the target object. You may need to destroy some of its members depending on the object implementation.
Are you asking about who is going to get a monetary benefit from this fund that's aiming to keep the biosphere from falling apart?
You do have a point, but on the other hand, when some girl decided she had enough of the hypocrisy and sailed a yacht to cross the Atlantic, people still made fun of her for using plastic dishes in a train.

So, I think some people just don't like the message and will find any and every excuse to talk about the messengers instead.

I'm not that impressed by Jeff Bezos either, but I'll take a billionaire pledging $10B living in a lavish mansion over a billionaire pledging nothing and still living in the same mansion. It's a step in the right direction.
I haven't! Thank you very much! I've started reading NAATOT a couple of times but never finished.
I do not believe in climate change. I also do not believe in a ruling elite advocating reduced consumption by others while consuming and emitting all they want simply because they have the money to “offset” it. It is an obscene display of privilege.
It's really pretty bad: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/the-curse-of-elon-musk...

At the very least, there should be some kind of international treaties governing this. The night sky is a common good.
Who cares? $10 billion could fully fund global fusion research for the next 5-10 years.
Question is, how do they talk? For example, if they have shared memory on same bus, it is BAAAAAD.
These comments do surprise me yes.

The amount of conflict in the remarks is because both parties are right. It's very wonderful for Jeff Bezos to donate $10B dollars. But also it's right about private jets, which generate much carbon pollution.

It's fair to say that everyone has to do their part against climate problems. I for one make personal sacrifices yes. Less meat, less consuming, trying for local purchases as often as possible so the cheese I eat is not from France, driving a lot less, and also I fly much less. This year only one trip home instead of two.

For us to lift out of poverty many more people, it's worrying about the carbon costs of this. But now we have to behave smarter and people for whom sacrifices are easiest should make them first.
He will definitely save a bit of money on taxes. I suspect his marginal tax rate is ~24% (20% Cap Gains + 4% Medicare). So this donation will lower his net worth by ~7.6B.

In any case, this is a giant amount of money by philanthropic standards. I doubt more than 4-5 people have ever given as much for all of the things they support.

For starters, what if you want to differentiate through code that traverses a collection, for example:

val x = ...
ys.map(y => y + x)

Each loop iteration needs to contribute a gradient update to x, which is defined in an outer scope. And what if y => y + x is not given as an inline lambda, but defined elsewhere. It doesn't seem like your blog posts discusses any such cases.

I think .5 micrograms falls under "pretty much" :D

But that was interesting to read... thanks!
I disagree a bit with the premise. I feel that the most important part of a compilers course is communicating that compilers are not magic, that none of this is magic. Good developers need to be able to see through their abstractions when necessary, and it's too easy to treat compilers as a black box.

As a slightly different concern, I think the curriculum above runs the risk of giving the impression that even if compilers aren't magic, they definitely need a lot of heavy duty abstract math. I'm not in favor of this either.

With that in mind, my ideal compilers course would probably take an intuituve approach to lexing, recursive decent parsing, and extremely simple tree-walking, stack-based code generation. Keep calm, it's all just data and basic algorithms.

My college education had the effect of lowering my expectations of my fellow students, so a more sophisticated course may be appropriate in some cases. YMMV.
Largely concur with the review - Clear Linux is surprisingly polished, the performance boosts are noticeable and the stateless aspect is confidence-inspiring, but it just requires a bit too much manual intervention to be a replacement for something like Ubuntu or Fedora (which I don't think is its immediate aim, so that's fine).

The biggest practical problem for me was the relative paucity of available software (and sometimes difficulty of discovering which bundles to install). I frequently had to go through the old "download -
configure - make - make install - discover missing dependencies - swear" routine, and I guess I lack the patience for that these days.

Much software that is available is in the form of snap packages, which somewhat reduces Clear's performance benefit, as they're often very slow to launch.

There’s a corollary in there to Greenspun’s tenth.

I tried that for a while and I did find the integration very well done. I ended up going back to my automatic-tiling Gnome/Xmonad ways (thanks Gekkio!) but that was all about window manager preferences themselves rather than any fault in the Regolith project.
>You have to somehow indicate to the system what it is you want to type on

You do it by moving the mouse. It makes the mouse more useful because you can now focus things with one less click.

On the other hand, in what circumstance would you want to move your hand to the mouse, move it intentionally over another window without clicking, and _not_ focus it? What would be the point in moving the cursor?

I dislike gross displays of privilege. Being rich and advocating for everyone else to reduce consumption while maintaining your own lavish, polluting lifestyle simply because you have the money to “offset” it is obscene.
He's also switching majority (I'm unsure as to the amount and the timeframe of his delivery trucks to electric). With pressure from someone like Bezos putting vehicle fleets on electric, that could put the US on the path to build a much needed electric vehicle infrastructure.
It is only half of the story. I was almost sure, that ECU and Infotaiment runs on different CPUs under different OSes. Question is, what do they share? Same bus? Some memory area? Or only something like I2C?

I could imagine situation, when hacked infotaiment system overloads power supply, and if power supply is shared, it takes down ECU too, for example.

I hope, Tesla's engineers better than that.
In Pure Data, the file format describes a directed graph of objects. It's not just freeform. Here's part of a presentation on "Dataflow Programming" talking through that graph:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPh4Z3SioB8&t=29m25s

Is Max/MSP different?

Pure Data is Dataflow-ish programming language. It's fine for Dataflow nodes to be written in another language so long as the node is self contained — that's the essence of "Hybrid Dataflow".

Pd has some global state so it's not pure Dataflow, but from what I can tell that state is not what the rant earlier is complaining about in the context of Max/MSP.
I don't think it is, there was an article a year or so ago where a famous detroit car expert, that specialised in tearing down cars and inspecting them did so for the Tesla.

What he said was that the electronics were light years ahead anything he had seen before, but he wasn't surprised given its a silicon valley car. The chassis on the other hand was way behind the likes of Toyoda.

I can understand that your mileage may have varied but this was through visually inspecting the electronics, not using them in action.
> I really dislike classes that are only partially configured on construction, and then you have to call other methods to complete their initialization.

What is "partially configured" after all? IMHO this dichotomy is just a headache brought to you by yours truly, OOP (or rather, syntactically enforced OOP). Personally I don't want to spend the rest of my life pondering such philosophical questions. Or dealing with all the consequences, like constructor exceptions, forced dynamic allocation because static doesn't work without initialization, etc, pp.
So there's a story about a volcano and there happens to be an old volcanic formation nearby, therefor the story depicts an actual event an implausibly long time ago. I find this as believable as Noah's Ark because there was a big flood once. Show us more than just a single coincidence on an entire continent of peoples.
Sure! It's in my dotfiles. You can find it here [1].

There's the `excel` subcommand you probably don't need and
you'll need to export the JIRA_TEMPO_USER and JIRA_TEMPO_TOKEN variables before running it.

- `JIRA_TEMPO_TOKEN` can be found in the Tempo Settings

- `JIRA_TEMPO_USER` can be found by inspecting the requests sent to tempo from JIRA IIRC.

[1]: https://github.com/charlespwd/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/tempo

EDIT: Confirmed, I found my `JIRA_TEMPO_USER` as the only accountID sent as parameter the POST https://app.tempo.io/rest/tempo-timesheets/5/private/days/se... when booting up the app in JIRA.
The idea isn't that the machine is actually detecting anything here, it's that the general atmosphere of the "test" and a sufficiently convincing performance of "the machine says you're not being truthful" will get people to volunteer information that they would otherwise have kept to themselves. It's a variation on an old technique where an interrogator will claim to have incriminating evidence or eyewitness testimony that they actually don't.
Why do u think angular has a high barrier to entry? In my experience 40% of angular knowledge gets you 80% of what you need to do and this 40% isn't that time consuming or difficult to learn.
From my understanding, the second stage starts spinning just before the release of Starlink satellites to give the stack the momentum necessary for the clean separation. This could explain the loss of camera feed. Internal SpaceX telemetry is likely being transmitted over a separate channel and remains uninterruptible.
There already is support for this (and more) in man pages.

A lot? I hope when they want to.

Really, I am telling you. People love talking about their kids, pets and hobbies. In fact, a lot of times I have a hard time talking about work, because people can talk about their children for hours and hours.

This isn't a secret. Relationships develop at work, you get to know them, they get to know you, you talk about stuff. Sometimes they don't want to talk, sometimes you don't want to talk, but most of the time those conversations happen naturally.
Each Necessary, but Only Jointly Sufficient (2012)
On one level this is to be applauded.

On another, shipping cheap plastic junk from China all over the world, to finish up in landfill a few years later, is the very definition of environmental vandalism and is Amazon's core business model.
Magneto-Gravitational Converter (Searl Effect Generator)
Yes, that is technically true. A more objectively correct statement on my part would have been, "Max patches are JSON blobs."

But let's be real: it's highly dubious software, exploiting the tired and inefficient trope of the noodly "patch connections" approach made famous by modular synth folks. The sound engine sucks, even with the new updates made recently. The new versions are made using the JUCE framework, and yet it has no Linux support. WTF? Good luck doing anything low-latency, on any platform, using any kind of hardware. Seriously, last time I tried to agonize with Max/MSP, that shit would start crackling at 48k and a block size of 192, that's absurdly poor performance for any sort of "modern" audio software.

Max/MSP is something made to take advantage of "computer musicians" and "audio engineers" who know very little about the actual computing platforms they continue to exploit. These people have become decidedly easy to trick, they simply don't approach their own so-called "craft" with the amount of skepticism they must have in order to continue to practice that craft.
Ask HN: cloud data storage cheaper than AWS S3?
I'm working on a new neural network based project, which means I'll need to access and store more data than I can keep on my hard drives.

While I'm familiar with AWS S3 from my day job, I was wondering what other alternatives are out there that may be cheaper (or even free)?

I'm also aware of dropbox, google docs, etc., but ideally I'd like to have programmatic access via an API.

Also they asked an engineer at a car manufacturer if they could make a computer. He said "We cannot do it." but I feel like the article omitted him saying something like "That's what Bosch is for."
I think so, hence my opening sentence. I think it is also fair to say that library-writers generally have less leeway in this matter than application writers, who may know that certain scenarios are not a problem.

BTW, I have updated my original post to mention swapping source and destination, another common idiom for satisfying the requirement.
Ask HN: Advice for Neos UI/UX Redesign
Hi fellow HN'ers. The Neos metaverse project is doing a major reworking on its UI/UX design. This is a really great chance to provide input and work toward the leading edge of user interaction in virtual reality.

If you're not familiar with the Neos project, it is (from the Steam page):

> Neos VR is a metaverse engineered for the unknown! It’s one of the most versatile and feature rich metaverses for virtual reality, designed so everybody can find something interesting or useful to do in a social setting.

> It serves as a casual hangout experience with multimedia and games, creator, builder and developer sandbox, professional work tool, educational experience and much more!

The link to the Github issue where you can help contribute: https://github.com/Frooxius/NeosPublic/issues/299

Disclaimer: I'm not a dev of Neos, just a big fan of the ideas behind a "metaverse," as I'm sure many of you here are also.

PS: If you want to see neat demos of what's possible in Neos, check these out:

I have been using the mate desktop daemons to handle all of this. Works quite well. See my comment with more details there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22302834
I have absolutely no faith that Google will be able to fix this. I run a small site that gets ~5K views per day, and a few weeks ago we had a heavy traffic day (~15K views in one day) due to a retweet on Twitter. Google marked it as fraud, and my account was "temporarily" banned. The ban never got lifted, so I did some research and finally got it resolved (if anyone's curious, I made a video detailing how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pCoBoK1hEM)

If Google marked organic traffic as fraudulent, their algorithm has a long way to go before they can start distinguishing between sabotage and actually fraudulent traffic.
Sharing shit information like this is why the average human is blocking climate change out. No one is suggesting going back to the Stone Age. Your plastic straw use isn’t warming the planet. But, you should consider the impact flying a jet has on the earth.
I've never seen Bezos push for personal austerity, have you? He's trying to move their fleets to EVs and transition data centers to renewable energy, those aren't a limited consumption measure.
I feel like this is one Oatmeal comic away from internet fame. I can't think of any other source of viral Cephalopod memes. That is where I learned all about Tardigrades and Mantis Shrimp.
Isn't it possible that Bezos is not a hero due to moral complications, but also that this effort of his will have a positive impact?

... poor internet bandwidth or accessibility in remote region... is a "US only problem"??

I make it a point to not sound snarky or sarcastic on HN, we have a pretty good standard of discourse here - but that just seems a ludicrous statement to make, and I'm frankly curious what consideration went into it, as opposed to a knee-jerk reaction?

I don't think technology will solve all the world's ills; I agree that regulation of markets is a useful measure to undertake in certain situations; I don't find "Socialist" a swear word; but if ever there was a problem with a technical solution, then accessibility of internet in remote solution is almost the canonical use-case. Regulation of markets will not bring the Interwebs to remote or underdeveloped parts of the world.

Now... if we want to discuss whether bringing the Intertubes to all the world is a worthy goal or not; whether it is worth the compromises and risks a massive constellation of satellites will impose; sure, that's a productive tops to examine. But if we accept for sake of argument that internet in remote or underdeveloped parts of the world is a goal, I'm curious to see how market regulation will make that happen better and faster than a giant freakin' laser... I mean, giant freakin' constellation of satellites :).

> In general, the first models of calculators had their own operational language, and the user had to learn the specific procedures related to each calculator. Let's take, for example, the C3-07, the first calculator of the Series "C" manufactured by the Leningrad factory "Svetlana."

Forgive the focus on tangential information, but I'm curious, was this factory named after Stalin's daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva? If so, it would seem a little strange that the factory would remain in the '70s with this name long after Khrushchev's secret speech and the subsequent de-Stalinization that took place to deconstruct the influence of Stalin's cult of personality. I can't seem to find any real info on the factory with a google search, but does strike me as curious.
I think the fact that 13 years passed between the Nimitz incident and it's public disclosure makes it highly unlikely that it was an intentional disinformation campaign.
