Really, if all new recorded & digital entertainment stopped being created right now and I was stuck with only things already made, and even if I were born today, I'd easily have a lifetime's worth of material even if I were pretty picky, so the lack of new media, though a bit weird, wouldn't really harm my enjoyment of life that much. There are whole, giant genres of music I've barely listened to, hundreds of highly-regarded films from the last 140ish years I've not seen, more reputedly-excellent written works from the last ~3500 years than I've got time for even if that were my only entertainment.

Shit, as far as games go I'm still trying to catch up on top-tier or just-under-top-tier games from the 90s I missed the first time around, and I played quite a few games back then. Now that I have less time, a bunch of excellent-looking games I'd probably love slip by and land on the "to do... someday, maybe" list. Even for a medium that new, I'm overwhelmed with great options.
Walk more.

You should walk at least thirty minutes a day. I recommend running errands on foot, stop circling the parking lot like a vulture looking for the closest parking space and just park in the cheap seats, and take the stairs occasionally instead of the elevator.

Also, make sure you are getting enough iron and b vitamins. Both are critical to production of red blood cells.

If you work at a desk all day, get up every hour on the hour and walk around. A trip to the bathroom or vending machine (or printer.. etc) is a good excuse. Sitting for hours on end does terrible things to your circulation. Get up periodically. It's important.

Also, stay hydrated. Blood is mostly water. Most people aren't adequately hydrated. They just aren't.
I completely agree that context matters immensely and ultimately it's the caller rather than the callee that should decide whether an exception is fatal.

FWIW though I think that Java the language could adjust to that perspective, if nearly all current exceptions were checked exceptions by default and then callers were expected to wrap as a RuntimeException (perhaps something that was a bit more suggestively named such as FatalException) whatever exceptions they deemed unrecoverable.

Unfortunately there's some implementation-specific problems of going that route (generating exceptions is expensive and you'd probably want a far more fine-grained exception hierarchy rather than lumping whole classes of things under say generic IllegalArgumentExceptions), but they don't seem insurmountable.

More importantly though I agree that I doubt Java the community would ever accept that, at least not for a long long long time.
The problem I find with any reference to 'US pizza' - is it's an impossible comparison. There is, of course, no such thing. There are approximately 407 different pizza establishments in every small city in the US, and they all make their pizza differently. One thing the US doesn't lack for, is variety in its pizza offerings.

It's the same problem that crops up when foreigners proclaim that American chocolate is horrible. Which of the countless different domestic brands? They think Hershey's chocolate is the primary chocolate Americans can buy, it's amusing. The same thing happens in discussions about cheese.

It stems from most nations having small consumer & manufacturing economies, small numbers of suppliers of things. It makes it difficult to understand or relate to the enormous scale of the US consumer market (so large it produced Walmart, a $523 billion sales behemoth that is as big as the economies of Poland, Belgium or Sweden). The only proper consumer & manufacturing scale references are to the entire EU or China. It's almost the equivalent of saying pizza in the EU is good or bad; or cheese in the EU is good or bad. It would make absolutely no sense.
Well, just to go along with the story...

The Flood account specifically states that the water came not only from rain, but from the "fountains in the deep." Gen 7:11.
I think that most employers look at that MS in genetics and assume you're looking for related work. The problem with that is that biotech employers don't read Hacker News nearly as much as software employers. You need to look for other venues.
They get paid a portion of the proceeds of a sale (or raise if you decide not to sell and raise money instead). The bill was almost certainly from his lawyers. I went through a failed M&A process and we were left with a 90K bill for it.

Of course they have a customer in the sense that someone is funding them and owns the product, however I would propose that there is not necessarily an immediate "need" or requirements given, and there is a high tolerance for undirected or self-directed research.

Woz is a known prankster. Take with a grain of salt. Pranks are how he and S. Jobs got to know each other well.

My favorite of theirs is a box to mess with the college TV's reception. Students in the TV room were used to fiddling with the rabbit-ears antenna to get better reception. Using their interference gizmo, The Steves would "train" the students to make strange movements with the antenna to get better reception. Once they had so much fun getting students to dance on whim that they gave themselves away by laughing too hard.

Having grown up with rabbit-ear antennas I can relate. Finicky things they were.
Yet Web PKI trounces all of them combined.

Signal isn't an apposite comparison as Signal implements key signing and key exchange with Signal as the sole certificate authority. Who do you think attests to the authenticity of phone numbers, and how do you think they do so? Indeed, Signal exemplifies exactly what I was saying: key management is crucial, key management is hard. Secure, trusted key management is like 90% of Signal's value-add.

At large organizations SSH is often used with signed X.509 certificates. OpenSSH resisted the feature request for years, but the demand was overwhelming. The rise of products like Teleport and ScaleFT are perhaps best characterized as extremely convoluted combination key management and VPN solutions.

You say "complicated PKI", but my point is that WireGuard has no PKI. In any event PKI is intrinsically complicated. Take WireGuard and add the simplest possible trusted authority scheme on top and you've doubled the conceptual complexity by 2-3x, and possibly the SLoC, too.
Will be great when this becomes mainstream & hopefully common place.

Basic stuff like starts_with() is missing. You cannot slice an OsString into parts or iterate over its components. Almost everything you want to do with a string is missing.

If you are curious for yourself, try to write an argument parser that will parse something like "--output=<path>" and store the path as an OsString, and make it work on both Linux and Windows. The OsString abstraction breaks, and you have to write platform-specific code or use "unsafe", even though internally OsString is just a Vec<u8> and you should be able to strip off the "--output" as it is encoded the same on both platforms.

E.g., fill in the blank:

/// Split an arg "--<name>=<value>" into (<name>, <value>).
fn parse_arg(arg: &OsStr) -> Option<(&str, &OsStr)> {
// What goes here?
}

This is trivial with &str.

Doesn't being mass-produced sort of defeat the purpose? Buy an identical label, replace the barcode, and you're done.
I used these when we would ship servers off to edge sites. You end up putting 5 or 6 of them on the box... tilt sensors on two sides, impact sensors, and temperature/moisture to make sure they haven't been left out on tarmac/loading docks. $100 in stickers on a $xx,xxx shipment is an easy justification.

In practice they aren't hard for a motivated person to reset, but they do result in handlers along the way being a bit more careful with your stuff.

> Troy may have wanted a firm with a global presence

Troy is a deliberate thinker. I'm not second-guessing his choice.

The top M&A bankers in Australia are routinely one of a Swiss bank, an American bank and/or Macquarie [1]. The global banks are known as such because they have uniquely global reach. They're also uniquely expensive.

For a small deal, a boutique with global reach would be the default choice. They bring expertise with heavyweights who want a better work-life balance. They bring cost effectiveness with a reduced footprint.

The only reason to go with KPMG is because you know someone there you trust.

> and (presumably) be almost impossible to return to their original positions

You'd want the widget to have a tracking number on it though, because otherwise they could just rip the whole widget off and slap on a fresh one.

I'm hoping that's what the purpose of the number along the right edge is.
It's impossible to know since the entire platform was down and both current positions and order entry were unavailable. I'm sure there's a lot of exaggeration but today was also the single best day of the DOW right after a 10% decline last week. That volatility can have massive changes in option pricing, especially short-dated expirations (like SPY options expiring today).
It's not _that_ simple. Recycling doesn't care about shape, just material, and reusing has the problem of people putting random things in the bottle before sending it off - including toxic and/or corrosive materials, thus making reusing impossible.
> 2) $2.25B is a big round, and speaks to the level of confidence in Waymo as well as the massive cost to get to market

It's a lot of money, but self-driving cars are notoriously overhyped. As someone who used to work in the industry and has worked at more than one of the "top" companies (Waymo, Zoox, Cruise, Argo, Nuro, etcetera), you don't have to talk to many engineers to realize there is a looooong way to go before a meaningful product is ready for market.

I'm not saying it'll never happen, but it's not going to happen before my kid is old enough to drive - and I don't have a kid yet. Before people bring up "we overestimate 1 year out and underestimate 10 years out," I was actually working on self-driving cars over a decade ago.
And this “vendor dependence” is somehow different than government depending on Microsoft or even older systems that still depend on IBM mainframes.
I mentioned Telegram because the desktop version does not use electron. It's a QT application and is small and fast.
I also recently learned about grpcurl that makes using protobufs a lot easier. Still not as easy as json but I think protobufs are the future.
It’s a database with public data. Let’s not get carried away.

Unless they have fixed them, the bearings are metallic and can be reset with a magnet. (I had to do this a few times when I bumped the thing putting it on)
Single-threaded brunsli runs 2.5x faster than single-threaded lepton, but brunsli compresses 1 % less. Brunsli is able to compress more JPEGs (including more exotic JPEG configurations) than lepton.
Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.
You misunderstood. It's not "Pizza" that was looked down upon in Italy, it was "toppings on pizza".

There are 3 official types of Neapolitan pizza, for example, and none of them have any of what Americans would traditionally consider "toppings".

Putting anything other than tomato sauce, mozzarella, and seasonings on a Neapolitan pie is, simply, "looked down upon".
I'm usually learning on the active days; the best time to pick up a tool related skill or keyboard shortcut is while you're active.

Downtime days sounds like a good time for light play. Something like Codepen is a good example, all kinds of CSS art, and figure out how they work. Maybe mess with some animation on existing code. Maybe find a new way to write documents and tests faster.
How do you improve the bottles? Do we create a national bottle innovation center that creates bottles?
> They get paid a portion of the proceeds of a sale

This is true for most M&A. But with KPMG, last I saw, they charge a retainer that must be re-upped from time to time. (The joke was that's what you get when you hire accountants as bankers.)
Calling out, in my book, requires an intelligent, thoughtful treatment of the behavior and subject.

GP took a cheap quip at a dead man, for laughs and karma.

And just because he was (by all accounts) an asshole, that flies? And doesn't just fly, but inspires righteous indignation that anyone would feel it's disrespectful?

Be the change you want in the world.
Vanguard was down for 2 minutes that’s way different than a whole trading day.
I tried this about 1 month and half ago.

It was interesting, but there were some issues with the IDE that caused it to crash in certain scenarios.

It very much has an alpha feel.

I'm looking forward to seeing what a later version has in store.
Product@SpotInst here. Just fyi, we have customers launch Spark workloads that require 300G RAM and we are able to efficiently deliver this capacity by ensuring that the underlying infrastructure is shared with other pods that are not memory bound. We bin-pack, scale up and down quickly, while allowing you to have warmed-up spare capacity when needed to ensure that your pods/tasks are serviceable immediately.
A "loyalty bottle" that you refill at the store.
It is clever, yes, but also something that has been used in the shipping and logistics industry for decades. So more "standard" than "ingenious".
Shock and vibration are bad too. You'll usually use tilt sensors with impact sensors: https://spotsee.io/impact
Sorry but... no. You are wrong. Completely wrong.

CVE is just an identifier for a security vulnerability.

"Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures"

CVE generally covers released software, hardware and (in the process or being added officially) services. It also covers beta software (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=beta).

The reason Wireguard doesn't have CVEs is nobody has bothered to request them.

For more details on CVE there's a bunch of episodes covering it: https://www.opensourcesecuritypodcast.com/search?q=cve

Part of the cleverness in that arrangement is that it has built-in negative feedback, so changes in friction between the drum and band will manifest as a change in gain or offset. Amplifiers are plenty useful even without well-controlled gain and offset.

This whole discussion is mental masturbation, but I suspect if a model of a torque amplifier were sent back a few hundred years in a time machine, there wouldn't be a clear application for it. Industrial uses would evidently be fairly rare, interesting academic applications would've required calculus and control theory.
It's probably one of the most suspenseful market opens in history. The tug of war between bulls and bears across the entire sub has been incredibly entertaining.

Regarding leverage: buying options is a fixed loss against the cash in your account. RH also only allows selling secured options. There's no way to lose more than you started with (at least with the current app, they had problems before).

Retail investors using standard accounts can't buy options on margin, it's only used for faster settlement.
Not if it is stuck inside the box.
> He could easily leverage this marketing presence to build a security SaaS company, create a huge conference, launch a big consultancy,...

If it would be so easy it would've been done already.
I have never understood the argument that taxes on e.g. gasoline are regressive and this should not be raised. When we find an externality that is not accounted for in costs, are we to throw up our hands and say we cannot do anything because some of the increased costs will be passed on to consumers? The right amswer is not to avoid the tax but to compensate the mpst affected via redistributive policies like a negative income tax.
> With Rust you can also convert to `Vec<T>` where T is either `u8` or `u16` and use generics to work on any.

That’s a very cumbersome way of doing things. I would love to see an illustration. It also involves a ton of conversions: if want to parse a command-line flag which contains a file path, it would go: wchar_t -> OsString -> Vec<u16> -> OsString -> wchar_t. It also makes it difficult to use Rust APIs in a more or less idiomatic way.

> Hardly a language flaw - just a minor unimplemented functionality.

It’s a flaw in the standard library, not the language. When you say that it’s minor, all you’re doing is saying, “I don’t care about the things you care about.” That’s not really an argument, just a statement of your own personal opinion.
These look like glass from the low res photo.
I see think or swim and TD/Fidelity being biggest beneficiaries webull seems like more of the same.
>heavily opinionated foundational tools

Opinionated isn't the right phrase here. For something like webdev there are 200 "right" ways to do things. For encryption "throw out all the legacy crap and focus on 1 known strong tech" isn't opinionated...it's common sense.

...if you have the luxury of a fresh start. Which mainline kernel has granted wireguard.

Monoculture...maybe...but I reckon the tons of legacy stuff in openvpn is way more dangerous. Especially because it kind forces mass adoption of weaker cyphers due to compatability BS.
