It's funny how people get upset at a niche gaming forum like they control the games industry. I remember years ago it was neogaf that was the big bad gaming forum, but now nobody talks about it.

Also Reddit and other forums are just forums. There's plenty of other places to have discussions.

In fact Reddit allows anyone to create sub reddits.

Why can't a group of like-minded people who want to have "non-status quo" discussions create their own communities for it?

That's how Reddit overtook Digg.

But I think what's really the complaint here is that people don't like that they don't have a mainstream audience.

They want to have their posts have the widest reach possible for ego and they don't like moderators deleting their posts or being downvoted.

At the end of the day none of it really matters. Why are people waging pointless online wars about internet communities?

Do they think they're shaping society?

> FindFirstFile (not that, but directly reading the directory as a file)

I always believed FindFirstFile actually does read the directory as a file once (or in some convenient chunks), keeps the handle to that and returns an element of that each time FindNextFile is called. Moreover, NTFS has some stat-like file information in the directory file, exactly to be able to return it this way. And as always, then the problem with having the cached information is, what if it is stale. But sometimes, for some purposes, it can be good enough.
What's your plan?
As we know from the Bitcoin wallet problems, generating random private key and verifying that it's random is an extremely hard problem. For this reason I wouldn't use any contact tracing app that is not open source.
One thing I’m curious about is the influence of people having symptoms being more likely to be tested. As others have mentioned this is only 15% of the total prison population.

I’m also curious how you could account for that if you could. Besides random sampling + tracking individuals afterwards even if they left the prison.

I’ve recently started digging more into statistics and probability theory and looking forward to learning how these biases might be factored in.
Being audited isn't an explicit accusation that you've violated anything either; at best, it's an implicit suspicion to which the tax authority is fully entitled to probe and we as taxpayers are given reasonable opportunity to corroborate claims.

Ask HN: Best location for a new Singapore-like city-state?
Taking into account:

- Size: neither too big nor too small (Singapore is about 700 square kilometers).

- Geographical position: climate (which will change), sea level (which will change, attention to coastlines), topography, soil quality (possibly).

- The strategic position: trade routes, access to the sea (possibly).

- Colonisibility: a piece of land that is disputed, under-exploited, purchasable, etc.

Any idea ?

There is a difference between "running out of stack memory" and "running out of memory used to store stack-structured data".

Any recursive algorithm can be mechanically transformed into an equivalent iterative algorithm that uses only a single activation record on the system call stack. If you perform that transformation on an entire program, then the total depth of the call stack is a static property of the call graph in the source code, and it does not depend in any way on run-time inputs from the outside world. The only way to run out of stack space then would be to write a program whose static, constant stack space requirements
are indeed too large for the machine it is run on.

Transformed algorithms may, of course, require "manually" tracking data in a stack structure, and use of such a data structure may indeed result of running out of memory depending on what inputs are provided, but that's just "running out of memory, which we happened to be using to hold a stack-like data structure", not "running out of stack".

> I wish there was a feature to drag+select a group of tabs and send them to a new window

There is! Press CTRL while clicking individual tabs OR press SHIFT while clicking the first and last tab you want to move to a new window. Selected tabs appear slightly brighter. Then, just drag. This works in Chrome and Firefox.

It is, you can probably check the plots from your local air pollution measurements.

(Of course, in isolation that means nothing since the values are influenced heavily by weather, eg wind direction, but in aggregate and in comparison to the past you can interpret it.)

It is also especially obvious in satellite images (for those pollutants that can easily measured by satellite). Eg. the NO2 concentrations have gone down significantly in many areas of the world.

Bought a 3d printer(Creality Ender 3, sub 200USD). Being able to print nice prints takes a lot of time and you'll learn a lot during the process.

After being able to print I tried drawing. Both blender and fusion 360. Blender for organic objects and fusion 360 for practical engineering objects.

It's a really fantastic hobby and you'll be able to produce a lot of physical objects instead of only writing software.
Fellow "minimalist" shoe walker/runner here. Running with a forefoot strike makes sense as the idea is to tilt forward slightly and basically use gravity to help pull you forward, naturally landing on your fore-to-midfoot. I cannot imagine how walking with a forefoot strike makes sense though? Do you also lean forward when you walk?

In addition, another benefit of running with a forefoot strike is to keep momentum while leaning forward and avoid jarring pressure going up your leg on each strike as you run. For example, if I try to land on my heel when running barefoot it physically does not feel right and when I do it the collision hurts. But walking barefoot and landing on the heel feels completely natural and pain-free - the step is very light and the contact point is maybe slight-heel-bias-to-midfoot, nothing like slamming a heel into the ground while running. When walking you do not create as much pressure through your heel unless you really stomp down on it for some reason.

We have some research showing potential benefits of running on your forefoot - does any such research exist for walking as well?
You must have done research at well funded universities :)

My experience is quite different. Although after some hassles I was able to get license but it’s online only.

Overall I’m trying to move away from commercial software (I don’t teach any, only use foss) but yeah Mathematica, MKL + ifort are unbeatable in some respects (Matlab is slowly going to be replaced except some specialised toolboxes, don’t use ansys)

Anyway, proprietary and closed source software is in my opinion harmful for academia. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little but in general it’s no good, although I understand that it funds some development that wouldn’t be done otherwise.

> When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world.

I feel sorry for the kids being told that.

I imagine a number of kids effectively told to not make waves, not rock the boat, learn their place and do what they're being told. Though in my experience that's a minority, and a ton of schools and parents tell their kid they can change the world is they work hard enough for it.

On the other side most kids tend to give up too easily or stay within their limits if they are not pushed or encouraged to push their boundaries.

That quote is an important message, I wish fewer and fewer people will need it in the first place.
For TST in Chrome I've been very happy with Tabs Outliner (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggk...).
As well as a great tree, you can mix live tabs/windows with frozen ones that don't consume RAM, and this is all reliably persisted across restarts.

Tabs Outliner is a separate window, since Chrome extensions can't add sidebars, so rather than using it as a tabbar replacement I tend to have multiple windows with less than 10 tabs, and open Tabs Outliner when I want a coherent overview (e.g. to quickly skim through my tab titles before closing them in bulk).
Coming from a country where the average age of cars is over 14 years, I'm afraid that modern vehicles won't look nearly as good abandoned and exposed to the elements.

I've seen my share of VW Passat B3, B4 and B5s rusting away around allotments and they bring to mind images of illegally disposed of appliances like washing machines etc.

Farming equipment on the other hand - new and old - doesn't give off this vibe. Perhaps being designed to bury into dirt they don't invoke an expectation of being clean and tidy.
The fact that universities splurge money on these proprietary tools rather than spending it on long-term improvements isn't a good thing, even without the pain of actually supporting them.

The typical differences between stuff using ifort/MKL and gfortran/OpenBLAS/BLIS are at least similar, and probably smaller, than the sorts of variation you see anyhow on HPC systems, even without the important large-scale optimizations.
I think Prometheus works well for getting infra metrics, but getting application metrics in Prometheus is non-trivial.

Don't feel sorry for me. I still have it better than most.
The thing I'm most excited about is electric _buses_ I think that will have a huge effect on cleaning up pollution in cities. Especially in other countries.

I lived in Mexico City for a few years and the pollution there is over the top bad. I'm talking almost as bad as Chinese cities. They have all these ancient horribly polluting busses that spew out huge amounts of pollution. If you replace all of those with electric buses things would dramatically improve.

I find it amusing that you use the example of Python 2 -> Python 3, a breaking change in a widely used language, that has famously been very difficult and long for organisations to deal with.

Compare that with javascript which has never had a breaking change. On top of that Typescript is a backwards compatible superset of javascript.

More to the point, Ryan has a humble explanation of what regrets he has about Node.js[1], why they exist and in some cases why there isn't an easy fix.

The point that I assume you're making, that sometimes it is better to spend significant energy to fix something, rather than throwing the baby out with the bath water, is a good one. However I'd suggest this is not one of those cases.

Disease is called toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma Gondii, I've heard about it, that's why I've pasted this definition. This AI has blacklist of valid words, toxoplasma is probably on list, toxoplasm is not. I don't know that much about latin, but toxoplasm looks similar to toxoplasma but is something other (sounds like a tissue to me). Toxoplasm without "a" at end probably does not exist, but I may be very wrong, so take that with a grain of salt.

colon in trachea and toxoplasm(a) forming a protective passage is the funny part for me.

a) Is Canada and Mexico affecting or is somehow responsible for the disastrous way that the US is handling COVID-19 ? Otherwise it’s a moot point.

Theory is great, but practical results matter. In theory a written constitution sounds great, but I'm really not impressed at all with how it seems to work out in practice. Don't take this too closely, I love the USA and have visited many times, youre is a safe, prosperous and largely free country I admire very much, but the problems you do have are so deeply ingrained into the culture and society and frozen in place by partisan interpretations of technical language that I do despair sometimes. In practical terms I genuinely feel vastly more confident in my liberty, safety and freedom over here than in the US.
Long ago, I thought remote working was awesome. Then I learned to appreciate working in a team, and I thought remote working was overrated.
