Another great thing about slide rule days is that results are naturally constrained to 2 or 3 significant digits, so you'd never see nonsense like "The mountain is 10km high, or 32808.4ft" as if the 10km figure was accurate to 6 significant digits.
What other contexts? As far as I know, it's only used by way of analogy to animal swarms: e.g. Docker Swarm.
Circular slide rules are still used today in aviation in the form of the E6B flight computer.

Important piece, every American/western HN reader should read.

The relationship between the policies and practices described here and those created by the US post 9/11 is alluded to but not sufficiently explored.

Also insufficiently explored, and I say this with trepidation, having no knowledge or background in the actual conflict in these territories, is the extent to which the practices described here, enabled by tech, are framed by authorities with power as "more humane" than the alternative without technology, which would likely be extermination.
Both, and more.

In my experience, the surface area where evaporation occurs has the most impact. If I know (and obviously I do every time, just measure it) the evaporation area size, that's what I use to dial in how much pre-boil wort I need the first few times I use a set of equipment.

But heat energy is the second most important factor. Sea level, salt/mineral levels, and other factors are - in my experience - not worth considering. But I've not tried to brew beer on the top of a mountain.

I've brewed over 300 batches of beer in vessels of various dimensions (including surface area and evaporation area), and with various amounts of heat energy, applied in various places in the vessel. Ranging from 2kW to 18kW, sometimes heat applied under the pot, sometimes distributed throughout for example 3 heating elements at various heights. 2kW for all from 15L to 60L vessels, 6-18kW from 25L to 120L, and 18kW (IIRC) for 500-800L.

When brewing beer, the boil usually lasts for 60-90 minutes, and the boil off rate is extremely important for hitting your target gravity and volume, and getting a consistent result if you're brewing the same recipe again.

What you do as a brewer is you test the equipment on the first 2-3 batches and then after that you can hit your target boil-off with 99% accuracy every time, or 100% in an enterprise-grade professional setup.

I've never been more than 5-10% off my estimated boil-off rate for the first batch, and I only account for surface area in that estimate. Even with 6kW for 25L.
I had a phone / screenshare interview with Google one day. Asked me to solve a Soduko problem (I have never done a Sudoko until that point). Didn't get it.

Half an hour later wandering done the street a very elegant solution came to me. I wouldn't say I am bad algorithmic stuff, but as I never practice it's pretty random whether I will get during an interview. "Luck" as you say.
Walled gardens aren’t the result of Ajax, no. They’re the result of insufficient or missing standards (or at least lack of standards enforcement).

How many times do you encounter a website that doesn’t support your OAuth provider of choice? So you keep 2 or 3 around, and oh this site only does their own password based auth, OK I’ll use my password manager to make a one-off for this site.

Keep in mind, JS itself was developed by one browser vendor (Netscape IIRC) because there was a lack of a standard for interactivity on the web. These tools arise out of need, but because of capitalism the players creating the tools don’t work together. They stand to benefit if they can “win” and starve the others until the other solutions die, so that’s what they hope to do. It’s anti-consumer.

I don’t know what the answer is. Maybe it should be illegal for apps not to allow certain levels of interoperability and freedom to migrate. Hence a previous poster’s term, “GDPR-sized hammer”.
Control “microservice hell” by layering domains using API Gateways
Also ratio multiplications, e.g. when increasing the amounts of ingredients in recipes to match a particular amount of something.

So if the primary ingredient is chevre cheese, the recipe calls for 180 grams, but you can only buy it in 250 gram packages, you can set the slide rule to "180 over 250" and then just mechanically read off the proportionally correct amounts of all other ingredients.

Slide rules are indispensable in the kitchen to me and I'm surprised they're not part of standard kitchen equipment like e.g. scales.

Edit: Similarly, if the recipe is expressing ingredients in US units and you would want to know the international amounts, you can set the slide rule to the conversion ratio and again, mechanically read off the correct amounts as you go.
The idiomatic thing to do in rust is use iterators, and bounds checks are elided when you do. You can't always use iterators of course, at which point llvm is there to optimize what it can.
Not as amateur as the spec.
Everything we're talking about here is trivial until you reach a minimum scale. "Dozens of machines" is still trivial, to be honest.

>Javascript is a memory safe language yet there is plenty of broken code written it it.

Rust has a lot of safety features javascript doesn't, like lack of null, and data race protection..and types. But the biggest difference is Rust gets you memory safety AND C/C++ performance.
Fascinating near invisible yet very high abstraction.
There are lots of terms in the world that get used differently by different people, sometimes to mean the exact opposite of what other people mean. One example is "decriminalization" (of prostitution). I have taken to stating up front which way I mean that because it's so consistently misconstrued if I don't.

I don't think masculinity and feminity really works to express the desired idea here. In the past, I have been told that I read as very feminine. A lot of that is behavioral and is rooted in things like body language.

More than a decade ago, I cut my hair very short for health reasons. I continued to be interpreted as clearly female.

Then I spent some homeless. I began wearing men's t-shirts and sweatpants for practical reasons, including the fact that a man's t-shirt gives better coverage when I am braless.

Initially, I continued to be read as female. But after a year on the street, people sometimes called me "sir " especially if they were seeing me from the back (and I think the lack of a bra helped convince people I was male -- you can see the outline of bra straps through clothing).

I don't feel less feminine. I can't tell you what I'm doing differently. Whatever it is, it isn't conscious and intentional.

As far as I can tell, I still have the default character traits that are 'typically' feminine that probably helped get me read as extremely feminine in my youth. But something about my demeanor changed in ways I cannot pinpoint.

And, yet, the social construct of gender continues to get in my way in many important ways and interfere with me making my life work. I still do not feel I have escaped that prison and the poverty it helps impose on my life.

Life constrains people by what other people expect of them and de facto insist on as a role they must play. I think this is a separate issue from masculinity or feminity. I think it is reasonable for people to try to invent language to talk about such ideas.

I did qualify my remark about math with "probably."

I'm okay with having this discussion with you. Many people knowledgeable about this topic wouldn't be.

You will notice other people here talk about "this is a standard trans excluding tactic" and I've said no such thing. People who are negatively impacted by certain practices tend to conclude that they are being intentionally and consciously mistreated and excluded.

I generally don't make that assumption. I tend to believe that much friction of this sort is genuinely due to some people honestly not understanding what the issue is and why it matters to some people.

I don't make that assumption even for things that do directly negatively impact me. And that's not the norm.
>I am positive that market forces would achieve the same effect sooner if it were not by GDPR.

Considering how many business practices across the board aren't very consumer friendly and are seemingly growing ever more anti-competitive in nature while skirting antitrust definitions in grey areas, I'm personally not nearly so sure we can rely on "market forces" to protect anything but the business in question.

In fact, the only thing I've seen market forces achieve is self-preservation and interest which may or may not align with the rest of what society wants or needs.
By the prose formation, this seems like a GPT-3 generated comment.

> What this argument highlights is that there are black sheep everywhere.

No, the point is that you turn everyone into a black sheep. If you make taxes factually optional by simplifying the form to "do you have income tax to pay, if so, how much?" with no checks and control, you're creating an incentive to lie, and people will lie.

The same happens when you put "subjective feeling of how much money you deserve" on the list of criteria of how much money to pay that person.

> Does this not already exist in other parts of social security programs? Or taking loans? What is the difference, what is new?

It does not. Means tested social security programs are individual. You make less than X, you're eligible for rent support. Grievance studies are not, it's "you're gender x, ethnicity y or subculture z, you get extra bonuses, don't need to reach the same scores for qualifications etc". It's not individual, it's based on some arbitrary group identity.

What you throw out of the window with that line of thinking is the fundamental possibility that innate interests (for gender) and culture (for some minority groups) have anything to do with success. The idea that you just need to pretend that somebody is X to make them value X and put an emphasis on X for their children is completely backwards.
pkg.go.dev supports fossil-scm (and I believe any "go gettable" source repo). So, the idea that it "hard-codes a list of centralized git ..." needs a citation.

Whereas AFAIK godoc.org only supported git. IMHO support for a variety of SCMs makes pkg.go.dev a huge improvement.

Support for "go get" and pkg.go.dev via fossil-scm does require some golang-specific meta tags, as TFA exclaims. But why is that a big deal, it's a golang repository after all?

Do you have substance to back that up? We have a public figure MMA fighter and video game player shaming one hobby and praising the other. Do we have a single instance of a gamer public figure shaming some other hobby?
"prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia,"[129][130] Stallman wrote that those "should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness,"

I'm sorry, this is not a bad example of 'cancel culture'.

It's funny because this is the argument that sometimes anti free speech people put forth because they believe that 'free speechers' are just protecting truly bad people.

Harvey Weinstein was cancelled because he was very bad, for example. This is fine.

Stallman cancelled himself here, or at least, if you're going to support pedophellia and kiddie porn, then, well, you have to live in a small bubble.
Apple buys startup that turns smartphones into mobile payments terminals
I use it in a side project. Reasons:

* B2B. The project is targeting companies where everyone relies on email.

* It is easier to implement. Compared to normal email/password-based authentication systems, it is almost exactly like the email verification step but it does not need any "forgot password" or "change password" functionality.

* Access tokens are temporary. If your DB ever gets hacked, the tokens are not valuable in the long run.

* Makes account reusing by multiple people more complicated. This is especially useful when your project uses seat-based pricing.

* Cheap "SSO". You can only use the service as long as you have access to the email address. This might be interesting for companies. People who leave automatically lose access (as soon as the token expires).
Python 2 just reached end-of-life with the last-ever update arriving in October this year. So you better get moving soon if your code isn't completely air gapped.

There are current three outstanding CVEs for the latest version of Python 2. Hopefully, they'll be patched up in the upcoming release, but good luck after that.

That's a naive take. It's like saying roads enabled accidents and thus must be demolished.

On most countries, usually the specific infriging content is ordered to be taken down, not the entire account.

I've had about 6 people in my work area learn Python. We're not employed as programmers, but we're scientists in an R&D team. My colleagues varied in experience, some had used Matlab in college, but none had programmed extensively.

The scripting aspect is great because you can get useful things done with a few lines and minimal constructs. There's a pile of solved problems on Stackoverflow. Folks can approach it at their own pace and on their own terms, at work or at home. I promise them that if they hate it, I'll refund the price. ;-)

Now, germane to the discussion in this thread about installing the packages and so forth. That's a drawback to Python that I tell people about, but my approach is to provide complete hand holding on installation until they've come up to speed on programming. If they've never programmed, then they've probably never approached a computer from the command line or dug into its file structure. So, learning a bit of programming first is a good way to prepare for doing that other stuff.

I originally learned BASIC without knowing how to install BASIC on the mainframe.

We're a Windows shop, so I help them download and install WinPython. Running into a useful library that WinPython doesn't have is pretty rare, and then a pip install within the WinPython shell usually works.
Every line of chat can be upvoted or downvoted, which influences your reputation much like on HN, and your reputation is visible next to every chat line. So there is a user incentive to provide good/reputable content. You are right about seeding the site. For now, the focus has simply been functionality, appreciate your feedback!
It might be a knee-jerk reaction, but I'd be very wary of Trojan horses. The old money and just all of the traditional economic infrastructure has a vested interest in seeing crypto fail because it takes power away from them, and Visa is no exception.
I don't think the author has ADHD at all and if they actually do it's minor. I'm glad they were able to come up with and use strategies to overcome their issues but actual ADHD doesn't respond to that in such a way at all.

Once again proving W3C is absolutely useless.
Typically you'd bubble this up as a rejected promise in JavaScript. Hopefully with a more detailed error message than "no GPU". "Failed while doing X" or "failed because of Y," where the messages contain actionable info, would be ideal. Then the application developer can decide what to do.

I've never done front end development but I would probably want to request permission to gather telemetry, and, if granted, post the telemetry and the error to an error logging service. Then you could try to diagnose aggregated issues. You could also offer the option to export the telemetry to a zip file (hopefully the same format you send it to the error logger). Then the user could examine it themselves and have the option to provide it to you via another channel (support forum, email, etc.).
Junction boxes are not meant to be buried in a wall. In fact, any junction box containing wire (not just connections/splices) is required to be accessible without removing any part of the building per the National Electrical Code.

Is Joe Rogan right about anything?
Netflix is always the perfect example against this weird logic. They commited to AWS, and stuck with it even after Amazon itself is one of their prime competitors. They clearly decided that infra and devops is not their core competency and have absolved themselves of that responsibility and are ready to pay a premium for it.

On the other side we have people who keep patting themselves in their back about their Emacs setup being able to run a web server from a raspberry Pi.

We're at a place where it's fairly counter intuitive to continue arguing against cloud providers. I doubt azure or AWS are going to go down with a probability that should worry any business (and even then it should be recoverable). The only danger with cloud providers is that if your engineering team is not exactly smart you can rack up a million dollar bill for a dog walking app. But thars more about your ability to recruit disciplines engineers, no point blaming it on the cloud.

Look at Imgur. For the most part bootstrapped, scales extremely well, and if I'm not wrong, is very frugal, also runs off AWS.
An implanted payment chip seem to be an interesting idea. You could be stranded anywhere in the world with nothing but an underwear and still carrying enough money to get by (assuming the contactless payment protocol used by the implant is accepted everywhere). A wildly unlikely scenario for most people. A more likely scenario is it allows you to pay something when you forgot to bring your wallet and your phone and you have to make the payment now or never. Or maybe you could be in a beach with nothing but a swimsuit and want to buy an ice cream without grabbing your wallet in the locker.

Realistically, I will never do a minor surgical operation just for having an ability to pay without my phone or wallet. My intolerance of needle and pain far outweigh the benefits of having this implant :)
Fountain codes are seeing use in DNA storage encoding schemes. That's how I use them, at any rate.
Immutable append-only backups would protect against this, right? Nuke the OS to make sure you're running on good software, then pull in data that's as good as it was when it was backed up.
>It pretty much is the same thing as swiping the magnetic stripe.

It's not, magnetic stripe is dumb data store, EMV transaction does cryptographic authorization on card. If final amount isn't known it performs transaction with some dummy value, but from EMV view it is still transaction.
That's like saying Mussolini was not a dictator in 1922, because there were still so many factions competing against him in Italian politics. Possibly true, but it's also clear what direction he was heading. By 1925 he had largely consolidated his power.
They buying a brand to make themselves feel cool. The quality of the product is irrelevant as long as it looks fancy.

That's probably not true given that a Peloton bike sits in your spare bedroom and noone you want to impress will ever see it.
Now you’re moving the goalposts but the answer is still yes. I’ve seen plenty of popular streamers on Twitch shaming people for playing other games or for non-gaming related hobbies such as IRL streaming, ASMR, etc.

There have been many public scandals on this topic, sometimes with Twitch even banning these streamers. Try spending some time in the chat of popular Twitch gaming streamers. You’ll see some absolutely toxic behaviour. I’m honestly surprised that people on HN would be unaware of this stuff.
I am not sure whether every flock is a swarm.
I went to something called a bio hacking village at a conference called "DefCon" a few years ago. I thought it sounded pretty neat but the thrust of whole thing seemed to be implanting various things like this, from key fobs to RFID tags to payment cards. Seemed pretty out there to me under the same argument you're making. The general feel seemed to be that the implants wouldn't go obsolete but I want so sure. Left me very skeptical of bio hacking. This was a relative large conference too, so I don't attribute it to just being a small fringe conference.
> Euro style

The only place in this wide world I’ve seen anything other than split units is North America, so “Euro style” seems an odd description.
I don’t think the point I made disagrees with what you’re suggesting. The US can absolutely use social media for information operations as well.
Back when slide rules were still widely used and even after calculators had recently come in, you also saw a lot of industry-specific cardboard sliding scales that were basically slide rules with different types of units.
This exactly. Barriers will be removed once society makes real steps towards correcting hundreds (or thousands) of years of systemic racism that has impoverished families of color. Those barriers are not going anywhere anytime soon unfortunately.
Not sure where you're from, but 41-42°C would be heat stroke territory to me. (I hide in cooled buildings if it's >30°C outside.)
I remember waiting years to purchase my first "decent" GPU.
The GTX580, specifically because it was confirmed by NVIDIA on their blogs that FERMI cards would fully support Vulkan.
I spent so much money on that card, expecting full CUDA and Vulkan support soon after. Then Nvidia canned Fermi vulkan support silently.
