A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Having physicists continue work using the current collider and literally spending the 20b on education, would be a better use of their money than this.
Thanks for similar articles. I am aware of similar articles and that's why I have kept it short and simple. I will add these as references, later.

I have enjoyed reading Python Tricks[0] book by Dan bader (author of https://dbader.org/blog/python-memoization ). It's awesome. Might be outdated but I still recommend it to any body who has just started learning python.

It is often used to say that, in fact I allude to the same. It's also often used to claim that you can literally eat an arbitrarily large amount of <specific food> and still lose weight. I've seen it, I've argued "no what's really happening is that your appetite is what's changed", I've mostly given up arguing nutrition with random internet strangers.
Yes, OO inheritance and subclassing complicates the multimethod selection algorithm, allowing for there to be ambiguity or ties. I don't use inheritance very often, so if it was my $interp_thing I would just leave it out.

I don't remember the details very well, but "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" is a book which goes into this topic. That's in the context of multimethods for Common Lisp, and I suspect they were very thorough and careful with the solution they used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_the_Metaobject_Prot...
DevonThink is one of those apps I've always wanted to use, but as I'm cross-platform it's never been possible.
In none of the cases of Wells Fargo, RBS or Barclays did institutional clients lose money. Wirecard May cause that. That’s the difference. Scandalous banks that keep my money aren’t great, but I’m not going to rush to stop banking with them.
Have you come across any cheap elasticache alternatives? I'm on AWS free tier and AWS gives you a free 2 vCPU 0.5gb(or 1 vCPU and slightly more memory) instance which suits me for now. But I was wondering if there are any other managed redis alternatives? We are just 2 people and we want to keep our stack open to be able to switch providers and I don't know how easy it'd be to switch db instances.

I have explored redislabs but all in all it seems much more expensive than elasticache. A similar instance from redislabs costs ~$36 vs ~$13 in AWS. My comparison was based solely on capacity

I understand your way of thinking, but if it had been meticulously followed throughout history, don't you think that almost no scientific research would have been made? Why should anyone spend time thinking when we have so much to do with our hands and readily available knowledge?

I think it comes from the idea that you'll have more knowledge about what you are eating.

There's some truth to that, but cooking for yourself still hides a lot. And it might end up just being a false sense of health.

It's also what stage you are at. Most people can't make soda at home, so eliminating that alone might be a big help for some.

I'd be interested to know what the rationale for the new design was. Some kind of dark patterns? Make people so disgusted with the web version they just download the native app, which provides better monitoring and "stickiness"? I mean, is anyone at Reddit actually proud of the redesign?

Hi Steven,

You've done such an amazing work since OWD was first featured here. Especially loved how the loading speed of pages has improved so much!

However, I would still love to see a couple of other features, like the price (or price ranges) displayed so I don't have to go to other websites to check it, and also see short monthly reports in your newsletter about which TLDs were sold the most, what are their categories (tech, food, etc) and the average prices to stay up-to-date.

Thanks for your commitment and awesome contribution to this industry!
Can you explain? Is it a metabolic thing, or is it related to the carb content of beer/wine?
Is there an actual theoretical question that will be answered by an even bigger collider, or is it just, “let’s see what happens?” It’s not a question of whether basic research is fundamentally valuable but rather whether building larger and larger particle colliders will deliver diminishing returns in exchange for increasing costs.
Isn't concern trolling when you pretend to support something but actually make arguments against it? This article seems to be pretty firmly against the idea of building a collider from the title on. I would think textbook concern trolling would be indicated by an argument like "I want a bigger particle collider, but I'm just concerned about the cost" while this article just says a particle collider is not going to be useful, lets fund something else instead of investing on inertia

Exactly. There are many aspects to photorealism, and any subset of them can yield interesting, stylized effects. The Witness is a great example of stylized textures and geometry + hyper-realistic lighting; nothing else looks quite like it.
Actually climate change is the main reason we need bigger colliders - it's happening, we won't coordinate until it is too late, so unless we find new sources of energy of whole different magnitude we are doomed. I suggest we move to acceptance stage already. Right now most people are in anger or denial and it is getting boring.
The restrictions on speech in the US are confined to “imminent lawless action”, per Brandenburg v Ohio. I think the commenter to whom you are replying might be entirely fine with Reddit’s speech policy following that precedent.

And no, shouting “fire!” in a crowded theater is not illegal and is protected by the First Amendment.
A less labor-intensive approach would be require CAs to revalidate the 'proof of ownership' basis of issued certificates monthly, and publish a revocation via CRL if the validation times out or fails for 1 month + 1 day. This would further encourage automation of the ecosystem without requiring redeployment in the cases where automated verification passes each month.

I agree with you that it works “well enough”, but with one major thing that needs to be addressed:

Gaming the calorie count through chemicals.

Not only can they cause increased appetites, fat retention, and metabolic disfunction, but they can introduce other health problems as well, far more than the results of even an extra 1000 calories.
The real reason why Microsoft has a browser is that they tried to monopolize the web in the 90s and failed.

Check out Caddy Server. It was only a few days ago when I was still managing my own certs and renewing them with a Cron job. Caddy now acts as my proxy for my various web domains and it handles certs automatically. Like literally you fill out a few lines in the config called a Caddy file and you do Caddy run and it gets the certs itself. And as long as it's running, it renews them automatically.
It can function that way, its however no democracy but aristocracy. You could pick up a book on this subject to brush up your knowledge.
Devonthink is amazing.

It's very versatile — it's got great image handling, for example, so you can use it for collecting visual materials, and easily browse as a gallery or as full-sized images. And I particularly love the built-in PDF support, which has everything you need — multiple reader views, annotations, table of contents, rotation, conversion, OCR, etc. Search is fast, multiple database support is great. And it's a very nice touch that you can combine the local database file support with cloud sync, although the mobile app could be better there.

It's worth noting that Devonthink does not have citation/reference management, so for scientists/adademics it's probably not an adequate replacement as Zotero, Endnote, Papers, etc.
They should be default, but we always underestimate how much we eat and over estimate how active we're.

Having hard data in my wrist and setting up reminders and gamification helps me to remain on track.

It's not "being mean" it's being unable to participate in discussions when you don't tow the line. This is true on Twitter and Reddit, even HN. You are also not supposed to even bring up the issue as that will be down regulated even more heavily.

The problem needs to be solved one way or another because things are spiralling out of control. The solution isn't "conservatives should just stop not saying what I want them to say" as that will never happen.
Will browsers start allowing self signed certificates though?
We're already pouring huge sums into covid, that's likely near diminishing returns now. On the other hand, what would be really helpful is spending a lot of money on viruses that arent currently causing pandemics. There was a lot of research into SARS in the mid 2000s that lost funding when interest died up, and if we'd continued that work, we would have been so much better prepared to stop COVID, perhaps even with a vaccine already approved and ready to deploy. Pandemics spread faster than researchers work, and we should be investing in virology research and preparedness before theres an outbreak, not after it happens and it's too late.
Slate Money podcast was surprisingly good on Wirecard this week. Three things popped out - that this had been widely claimed as a fraud (millions in business going through offices that were just postal drops etc) but the German "establishment" supported them because they had no native german payment processor otherwise (and once you were in the Dax 30 it's a big deal to declare fraud).

Also the failings of shorting a business - it's not enough to know they will collapse sometime, but you cannot keep covering your short for five years without wondering if the bet is worth it.

But really this is just yet another example of regulatory failure and it's hard to see how we fix it without destroying the culture of entrepreneurship
Is your torrent website hosting illegal/pirated content? It's probably already dangerous.
Gab has similar problems. The thing is Reddit is making the definition of objectionable broader and broader. At this point it includes basically anyone with mainstream conservative political views. They have gone (way) too far and people are looking for alternatives anywhere and everywhere where they won't be banned, shadow banned or quarantined. I just got text from a high school friend inviting me to something called Parler. I have no idea if it's worth while but I am happy to see that people are pushing back.
Opposite experience here with the chewing gum.

My dentist noticed some wear on my molars right around the time I started experiencing a bunch of minor issues: xerostomia (dry mouth), excessive salivation (strange to have at the same time as xerostomia), jaw fatigue, teeth clenching during the day, and an abnormal awareness of the position of my tongue in my mouth. These were among the many low-priority bugs I'd filed against my body as I was recovering from chemotherapy.

I started chewing gum to help control the xerostomia, and it became a habit. Over time, I believe I actually strengthened my jaw muscles enough to make the bruxism worse, leading to a vicious cycle of needing gum chewing to alleviate the discomfort from constant jaw clenching. This went on for many years.

About a year ago, after changing nearly everything about my daily routine to narrow down the cause, I stopped chewing gum, cold turkey. I replaced it with Tic-Tacs, resolving never to chew them. After a couple months I gave them up, too. While the bruxism and jaw clenching occasionally come back during times of work stress, it no longer seems to be a chronic condition, and my mind has restored enough muscle memory of what a normal mouth feels like that when I notice it's coming back, I can will myself back into a comfortable state again.

Hard to say whether the gum really was to blame. but for me, when I stopped was when I regained control.
Your reply is flippant. I came here to express almost the exact same list of concerns.

Upload a video of what? I believe the answer is of the path between an easily located starting point and the actual final destination, but I'm not entirely clear. You mention unmapped or indoor areas in another reply, but your page needs to make this more clear.

Set a target location of what? I'm actually puzzled by this one. If I'm correct on the first guess then it's presumably either the starting or ending point. However, neither of those makes particular sense. The starting point is easily reached, by definition, and the ending point can't be targeted on a map, by definition.

Your page needs to actually answer the Who, What, Why, and How questions the unfamiliar user will be wondering.

In particular, "we do video magic" is entirely uninformative and is the only explanation of what you're actually offering that might be new. I can already upload a video and provide a map with services I already use.

Something that seems to be a main feature - "let the owner know you're on your way" is hidden in the 'sample' page and unmentioned on the first. From it, I deduce the problem you're solving is last-100-feet for deliveries or visitors.

And why does the 'see a sample' page ask for my geolocation?

Edit: I am actually curious - this might be interesting - and I hope you'll answer these questions here!
I'm not sure if this is a matter of trust or lack of choice in this case. There simply aren't too many options to achieve the same results as with PayPal. Every site I go to gives me several payment options but the only ones present across every one are PayPal and card payment. So if that's what the buyer uses, the seller doesn't get much of a choice either.
You don't know that. What if tomorrow physics can solve today's problems with nearly no effort?

Yeah that is true, you are sharing L3 cache. In order to mitigate some of recent intel issues I think AWS actuallly has their own chip now on newer motherboards to handle the hypervisor duties securely.

Otherwise, they'd do it in software patches for older CPUs and take the performance hit of the patch.

I'm not sure how much the hypervisor would reserve off of the L3, it is likely to be free for all however you'd still have quite a bit of dedicated L2 and L1 on most xenons. With AMD's first gen EPYC it's a little bit different because clusters of cores share a cache and you can get weirdly high latencies depending on which cores you're using, (i.e. cores 8 and 9 being too far apart)

Also according to this anandtech article, the average total CPU load for physical aws machines is ~60% and is actively balanced out by them. And yes, running benchmarks on a machine without noisy neighbors yields very significant improvements, up to 2x better on the benchmark scores. They measured this by comparing renting out all the cores of a machine vs only renting out the 4 or however they needed .

https://www.anandtech.com/print/15578/cloud-clash-amazon-gra...

I'm assuming they'd put a CPU into sleep/hibernate mode in order to save power instead of having it only run at 5% utilization.
Wickedly funny article, and painfully germane:

Hey Anzhelika! Thanks a lot for your feedback, as well as your encouraging words! I'm planning to add the "price range" feature for each of the TLDs very soon - it's one of the top tasks on my to-do list - so stay tuned!

As for the monthly reports feature - I really like that idea! I'll definitely write that down and implement it in future newsletters!

Really appreciate the amazing suggestions! Thank you!
The difference is that most scientific breakthroughs didn't cost 20 billion euros. Not trying to be a smartass, i know the value of research without a certain end goal or outcome, i just think this is one exception where money is irresponsibly spent.
Why are we going nowhere as a species without advancements in fundamental physics? That's quite a loaded statement, and not something we can just agree is a given. I mean sure, physics advancements are good and important, but I would say what's holding us back as a species is climate change and human suffering and inequality.
> It likely wasn’t a “character” in any character set until Unicode.

The article expressly states:

What is ISO 5426-2, if not a character set?
Correct, good parsing benchmarks will ensure the input is in memory or, at least, heavily cached with a linear access pattern. And, the point is, those benchmarks often show libraries parse JSON at a good deal less than 100 MB/s, or, for the fast ones, maybe 100-400 MB/s. Those parsing rates are not fast enough to claim that JSON parsing is I/O bound.

Of course, the original comment is saying that most “apps” are I/O bound anyway (shall we assume web apps?). I think this is a lazy argument, or at least an ignorant/self-centered one — plenty of apps are not web apps running in an embarrassingly slow context like Django or Rails. For example, I work in digital forensics/cyber security, and we have to scan through TBs of logs (sometimes in JSON).

> I would favor an argument not rooted in cost but in physics.

Did we read the same article?

> New measurements brought up new puzzles, and they built bigger colliders until, in 2012, the picture was complete. The Standard Model still has some loose ends, but experimentally testing those would require energies at least ten billion times higher than what even the FCC could test. The scientific case for a next larger collider is therefore presently slim.

> Yes, one can hope. But there is no reason why the particles that make up dark matter or dark energy should show up in the new device’s energy range. And that is assuming they are particles to begin with, for which there no evidence. Even if they are particles, moreover, highly energetic collisions may not be the best way to look for them. Weakly interacting particles with tiny masses, for example, are not something one looks for with large colliders.

> And there are entirely different types of experiments that could lead to breakthroughs at far smaller costs, such as high precision measurements at low energies or increasing the masses of objects in quantum states. Going to higher energies is not the only way to make progress in the foundations of physics; it’s just the most expensive one.

You're also coaching numbers. The point of the lockdowns were to not overwhelm hospitals. 10x new cases in Texas and Florida while new York is trending down is not hugely surprising. It also doesn't say much both states are also testing more. Also population wise both are more populous.

Either way... The point being to not overwhelm hospitals.. The question isn't whether they have 10x the amount of cases as ny now. Its whether they can handle the hospital numbers.

Low level implementation detail. Agnus is the memory controller here, handling refresh and addressing. Block diagram tristate latch (74LS244 & 74LS373 in real hardware) should be considered part of the chipset (controlled by Gary). Take away Agnus(or even Gary) and CPU cant do anything, cant really say there is any ">1 chip access the SDRAM" here. We would have to go back all the way to C64 to say cpu and graphic chip share same sdram bus ~equally.
Atkins and other low-card diets appear to try to use the increase in energy expenditure (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5568065, Figure 2, they do a meta analysis but conclude "the effect sizes are so small as to be physiologically meaningless" so I'm not sure if the effect is real) due to the absence of carbs, and then just hope the person doesn't manage to increase the calorie consumption by a similar amount by eating too much---so it might still be called calorie counting, implicitly. I think you're defining calorie counting as specifically when the person following the diet counts the calories explicitly themselves.
