Model 3 SR+ goes 250 miles. Bolt goes 259, Leaf goes ~226.

The average Uber/Lyft ride is ~6 miles. The average driver makes ~30 trips per week according to Uber. The gas + maintenance savings would be significant especially if they charge at home overnight.
Because security can jeopardize lives, it isn't acceptable to lie about as a feature.
Quite easily. They just need to make it so that one of the "ends" is Zoom itself.
I live 90 minutes outside Manhattan, upstate.

Things aren't normal here. I can definitely see how one might mistake things for being normal because businesses are opening up and people are going outside, but if you look more closely, about half of the shops and restaurants remain closed, and the places that are open are operating at half-capacity. If you talk to the business owners, things are rough. Some local businesses aren't staying open because they're making money, they're staying open because they lose less money by being open (which is a big difference). The hope is that they'll be able to start operating profitably again, but that's far from guaranteed.

I really doubt that we have insight yet into how this is going to play out.
Yes they can. Libraries like reactstrap and sveltestrap do just this.

This is whataboutism.

Yes, ideally our elected politicians should solve this, but we don't live in a perfect world. So what can we do in a world led by imperfect people?
I was curious about this too, but going back now to take a closer look at that screenshot, those are three other Snowball models listed in the table, not three more Snowcone models.
Go developers like to claim that the reason the Go compiler is fast is because it's "simple to parse". Unfortunately this doesn't make a lot of sense as parsing is typically only 1-5% of the total compile time.
Submitted title was "Loglo: A very experimental programming environment by Avi Bryant", which was a good choice because it was representative language from the article. And we love and admire Avi. But I'm wondering what title might appeal most to the readers here, and thought maybe a description of its juiciest elements would fare even better. We shall see.
>The best developers I've known wrote code with tiny laptops with poor 1366x768 displays.

I'm sorry to say this but that is not a real argument.
Modern fuzzing tools are far more effective at probing the state space than just random mutations. It's hard to appreciate just how effective until you see it in practice.

E.g. last time I fuzzed a network element with AFL, it took seconds from it to go from a starting corpus of a single ethernet IPv4 SYN packet to some double-encapsulated IP-in-NSH-IP-in-NSH-ethernet monstrosity that triggered a misparse. And seconds more for it to generate a IPv6 packet with a fragment extension header that triggered some other problem. A random walk would have no chance of finding that.
It's almost as if those in charge of the law and those in charge of business don't want it that way.
Cloudflare kicks you out in this case, already with a couple of Gbps you can get kicked out (so essentially the attackers win), so few Tbps, don't even think about it except if they can get really good PR out of the story.
Thanks for your work on keeping up maintenance of the Fairphone 2! And of having made Fairphone Open available on it; I know usage is probably not high enough to make it happen for the Fairphone 3, but with Fairphone Open available I had no reason at all to consider Lineage, and the peace of mind it gives me is way beyond what I expected when I first installed it.

I have no idea how nautil manages to so consistently talk about mathematical concepts in a way that is so hard to make heads or tails of.

Here is a simpler explanation.

A group is a collection of elements with a multiplication such that multiplication is associative, there is an identity, and every element has an inverse. Multiplication is generally NOT commutative.

The classic example is the set of all permutations of a set using function composition as multiplication. "Multiplication" is associative because (f o (g o h))(x) and ((f o g) o h)(x) works out to be f(g(h(x))) for any x. The identity permutation is "leave everything where it was". The inverse of a permutation is simply "map everything in reverse".

They spend time talking about S3. That is just the permutations of 3 objects. (Which they visualized as the corners of a triangle.)

Another classic example is the set of invertible nxn matrices using multiplication as multiplication.

A representation is just a function from a group to some set of invertible matrices such that F(x * y) = F(x) * F(y). Note that a representation does NOT have to be one-to-one - you can always just map everything to the identity matrix.

OK, so representations exist. Why would we care? The answer is that each representation of a group shows something about the structure of that group. And says it in a language that we have a lot of tools to work with. Admittedly, the identity representation doesn't say much useful. But the others do. And representations have provided ways to reduce a lot of hard problems to easier ones that we have a better chance to solve.

There are a lot of examples, but the most widely known example of a hard problem that used this idea as part of the solution was Andrew Wiles' solution of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Mineral rights are a mishmash depending on where you are. If for places without known or probable oil afaik land generally comes with the mineral rights attached. In other places where there's actual money to be made in it the mineral rights are more likely to have been separated from the land rights at some point.

I wish Intel had just added some address lines and increased the price by $10 or whatever.

I remember writing 68k assembly code and it was very pleasant to work with. 8 address registers, 8 data registers, if you want to access memory, you just put a 32-bit address into an address register.

Then I read a book about 80286 assembly and though "ugh this is horrible" and never wrote a single line of x86 assembly code. Worrying about segments and memory models (tiny, small, medium, compact, large, huge) seemed like such a drag on programmer productivity.
There's no reason to think they'll change their ways anytime soon. Every time they're caught lying or doing something shady they use some bullshit explanation and 'fix' the issue only insofar it stops journalists from writing articles, but doesn't fix the underlying problems.

You know what we need. A data driven approach to election programs. The primary goal should be to inform the voter how completely clueless they are about the options. One should know how shameful this is. An insult to democracy. There are lots of candidates to chose from and they all have their own program. Howabout you take some time out of your day to vaguely familiarize yourself with the menu before ordering? The second goal should be to further encourage the voter to stop screaming, sit themselves down and make an at least some what less uninformed decision. It's not as boring as it sounds. Some are truly colorful creatures.

Look at the un-notable candidates. Don't be afraid! I started by looking into Christine Weston Chandler and was not disappointed.

Note:

Last time the green party had 100-250 views on the youtube videos. This is a reasonably well known party. Everyone less noted had considerably less. Some had so few facebook followers as to not account for friends or relatives. To me it means no one in the entire world bothered to look at anything on the list. People say they don't want to be informed by their facebook friends but secretly they don't want to be informed at all. You know who you are! Numbers don't lie!
That's a really good point. I'm pretty sure Robinhood exercises behind the scenes for you on the day of expiration 30-60 mins prior to close to avoid this.
The law requires brokerages to assess clients knowledge and fitness to trade more advanced instruments like spreads and naked options. This individual most likely lied to the brokerage about his trading experience, and that's why he was approved for Level 3+. There are many warnings issued when you start in futures and options, to make users aware of the risks of trading without sufficient experience and education. The cost of equal access to financial instruments (imo, a good thing) is that the balance between KYC, education, and risky behavior is hard to strike. This is an example of those costs coming due. I don't really think the marketers are to blame.
I've used AWS snowballs fairly frequently and it is definitely a specialty product.

For our use case it was genome sequencing. Each individual genome was a terabyte or so depending on what types of data we sent. We can crank out a few hundred genomes per week at full production so when our collaborators need to receive their data they usually neither have the capacity in bandwidth or storage for cohort of thousands. So it gets shipped to AWS.

We've made improvements to get more direct connections to cloud services so we don't use them anymore but for awhile we were filling a snowball and shipping it every week or two. We also used the Google Transfer Appliance once or twice (480tb) to transfer projects all at once instead of piecemeal.
The title of the article was pretty mangled by hacker news. Anybody know why that might be?

I recently upgraded to a 43” 4k monitor and use it the way you describe. I’m not sure I am happy with it. The real estate is nice but it might be too much. UI elements end up very far away. I rarely need all that space.

I either need a bigger (deeper) desk to sit back farther or just a smaller monitor physically with the same resolution.
Completely agree! Went from a mediocre 2x1440p to high quality 2 x 4K, then back to a pair of equal quality 2x1440p.

I would also add, when it comes to 4K and, for example, MacBooks, things fall apart quickly in my opinion. Cables, adapters/dongles/docking stations just must match up for everything to work in proper 60fps, and it gets worse if you have two external displays.

As for my home set up, also stayed at 25" 1440p. Nice balance for work, hobby and occasional gaming without braking the bank for a top-tier GPU.
Wow $2000 USD for a monitor? I thought I was pushing it yesterday when I got a new 27' monitor for $200.

I don't think as programmers we need anything more than a 27' inch 1080p. What am I missing? I don't think it's worth the expense.

On another note, that mustard yellow as the background color is an eyesore.
Sometimes it's accidental (but probably not in this case).

One time a customer came to us and asked us to PenTest their server, checking it stands up to a DDoS. They said they owned the server and it was their network, so we said "we can run a small one for you which should give us an idea of some pain points".

We run the "mini" DDoS against the server, it takes a little more to sink the server than expected, but we just ramp up a few more connections and it is fine. We lift off on the test attack, but customer site doesn't come back up. We contact them and they say they will contact the VPS host. * Heart sinking moment *

We test other websites running on their cloud from a different connection - we had taken out their entire cloud infrastructure (this was a small provider). After a short while they were back up, but not before another few conversations with the customer. I really don't even want to know how badly positioned we were legally that day.

Lesson learned: Always double check.

Am I the only skeptic here? 2030 is a decade away, and lyft needs to figure out how to stay afloat NOW.

It is not as well positioned as Uber on some important fronts such as diversifying its product offerings into food, prescription drugs etc... and it really needs to have an answer there.

I’m more concerned with if lyft will be able to attract enough capital to stay afloat rather than what kind of cars it will have in 10 years.

This seems like a way for the CEO to plant anchoring bias to me, where by displaying it thinks long term, gives the impression that there is nothing to worry about in the short run.

I do appreciate the effort the author put into that library and obviously performance is important.

However, JS doesn't primarily live in the server side world, it mostly lives in the browser world. And in the browsers, you rarely do heavy processing. If you are, you're doing it wrong - that logic needs to live on the server.

You're also doing it wrong in you are relying on server side NodeJS for tasks that involve heavy duty computations.

Still, interesting to know. I wonder if the author can make this repo a proposal to the TC39 committee.

That is insanely expensive. 2.3Tbps would cost you about $100k per month, so that's a massive economic advantage for the attacker.
Maybe an extension to bystand and/or other NNTP clients might be helpful. That way, I can get the comments to be sorted in chronological order. (A protocol extension to bystand is simply a program that communicates with stdin/stdout using the NNTP protocol. I don't know if any other software than bystand supports this.)
If addiction were not stigmatized, in (very) large part due to the war on drugs, there would not be a OxyContin scandal. Legalization has nothing to do with that.

That's true, undeniably. But I think the better tradeoff still is to go up in size: IMO the optimal monitor size is 38". Big enough, but not too much head turning. Would I get a sharper 38" if possible? Sure. But I wouldn't compromise on size to gain higher DPI.
I'm no mathematician but let's imagine you approach is followed. Computers do prove (or disprove) a lot of the open question (theorems we have no proof for). So far so good, the current math is "solved". But now, you have to make new math, discover/create new theorems. If you leave it to the computers, they'll generate millions of truth. But who will be able to understand and value those truths ? If you either leave it to humans, they'll first have to understand all the theorems proven above in order to be able to formulate new theorems. They'll have to deeply understand them, to abstract them to be able to use them as a foundation for new work.

So my impression is that sooner or later, humans reenter the loop. However, if a computer proves that a new theorem is true, say with an impossible to understand proof then it means that's it's worth investing human time in that proof.

So it'd be helpful.

It’s always possible, even in a Rust Option you’ll panic when you extract the value with unwrap() without knowing that it’s valid.

What it does is preventing the accidental use of a missing value. You can’t pass the Option<T> on to a function taking a T without explicitly doing it.
They say they used 1024 TPUs for training, maybe TF has better perf on that hardware at this point.

Jitsi has audio problems for several people in my peer group. I think from other audio work that it may be that they're using too small frame sizes, although it's possible that something else in their audio pipeline is busted.

Audio capture APIs often suggest it may be possible to use very small frame sizes, which naturally promise much improved latency. Going from 100ms of audio latency to 20ms is great so surely going from 20ms to 5ms is even better right? Well, the hardware underneath that API may not be able to deliver, at least it may not be able to deliver consistently. If your 5ms buffer isn't filled on time, what do you send? A partially filled buffer? Silence? The last 5ms of filled buffer again? All bad answers.

Tool A with 40ms of latency may feel imperceptibly worse than Tool B with 30ms of latency. But Tool C with 10ms of latency but frequent "drain piping" as audio frames are garbled or undelivered is clearly much worse than either.

The person you are responding to specifically says they didn't implement e2e.
I had a similar setup at a previous job -- one of the early 39" TVs. It could only drive 4k at 30Hz, but for staring at text, nothing could beat it. It takes a good tiling window manager to get the most out of this setup. By the same token, a good tiling WM also makes a tiny little netbook screen feel much bigger. So I guess what I'm really saying is, use a tiling WM!
How do you manage multiple monitors with MacOS? I was doing this until recently and every single login involved rearranging my windows because MacOS moves them all to whatever display woke up first.

In my experience MacOS multi-monitor support is effectively non-existent.

Recently I picked up a 49” ultra-ultra wide monitor (basically 2x27” panels). It is one monitor but MacOS can’t drive it. They just don’t detect that resolution. I switched to a 43” 4k monitor (technically more pixels) and MacOS drives it fine.

My experience with MacOS is not “it just works” unless you are doing something Apple already predicted. That’s fine for me, I just wish they still sold a reasonable monitor themselves so I could be assured it would work properly.

Is anything stopping you from using NAT with IPv6? I really see no reason to assign every device on a network their own public address when I can just keep the pool of addresses on my router to be assigned for whatever and be able to assign devices huge swaths of private IPv6 space if I want.

Does not using NAT really help anything when the firewall still wont let you in without an existing outbound connection?
“DDoS insurance” would almost certainly be covered under cyber security insurance, which any decently sized organization should have these days.

Even without that, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s covered by other forms of insurance, such as policies that would cover an internet or power outage. It would probably be harder to get the insurance to pay out, but if your legal team is big enough, maybe...

This is something I always worried about after buying my house in SoCal. When I purchased the house it came up in the closing disclosures that there was a "capped" oil well within 500 feet of our house. I search every where for it. Asked neighbors and everyone was clueless to it's where being. Needless to say I never found it but did have the air in our house checked for methane as well as radon which were at normal levels.

The LA basin had a lot wells especially in the South Bay [1]. I could totally see this being a problem especially since they were capped so long ago.
