That's what unboxed tagged types are for. Floats (e.g.) at runtime, but with compile time restrictions.
Dito, I visited reddit many times per day a few years ago. That all changed with the new web app. Yes, old.reddit.com exists, but the old web app acted as a kind of gatekeeper the same way the ancient design of HN acts as a gatekeeper. With the new shiny web UI, different people came to reddit. From a marketing perspective, this was a great short-term success. From a quality perspective, a long-term decline began.
It’s 1, but is it a mantissa?

The linked Wikipedia article just says that the mantissa is “the fractional part.”
Same. Bit different with ffox, chrome and chromium, sometimes you don't get sent to the top.

Yes, it's the adblocker. I had the issue with 1BlockerX - I had to turn it off for reddit on iOS :-(. Other adblockers either have the same issue or the developers added specific code to battle this (e.g. AdGuard https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?threads/resolved-reddit-...). This must be a deliberate tactic from Reddit.
There might be no penalty for breaking a regulation but if you do that and cause harm, then you are at fault, which obviously has legal consequences.

I think a large part of the road code is like that in many places.
Yes naming things is difficult and we would all benefit from shared names for the same things.
Scale of home market is definitely a factor - but you could argue that the UK should have a big advantage here - lots of software type startups could effectively treat the US as a home market, but don't seem to.
Well, it's been exactly the same for the last 25 years.
It didn't always used to be like this. I agree that if I were attempting to join and use Reddit today, I wouldn't last more than a few visits.
In my opinion Reddit UX is miserable even on desktop. Whenever I see a Reddit link in search, I try to avoid it. It is in a way similar to Pinterest experience.
Aren't BIG nuclear plants with universal distribution system BETTER from security/safety/management perspective?
I'm pretty sure junior officers were actually one of the hardest hit sections of the Army in WW1 and WW2.

I read a book recently about a young (19!) year old tank commander in WW2 and he was told by his CO when arriving in Normandy that his life expectancy was 10 days.

A colleague and me implemented it for a university lab course a while ago using a combination of C++ and Python. (Used C++ for the processing and Python for the UI and filter design)

One important thing we learned is that the filter design is a very important part of the whole thing. We used scipy.signal[1] for filter design. One thing that was very noticeable was that even small IIR filters performed significantly better than FIR.

I thought we put our code online a while ago but looks like we didn't. If you're still interested I might have a look if I can put my stuff online later today. Not that it's all that fancy anyways. The C++ part is pure processing and the python interface just puts a gui around it for filter design and calling the application.

What's blocking is number of http connections between browser and server. Most browsers only allow 6, each tile takes about 100ms so getting 10 in under second doesn't always happen.
Doesn't matter. I was tired of "and my axe" type circlejerking anyway.
The Reddit experience overall is incredibly subpar. I can't remember the last time I opened the site without using the unofficial Reddit Is Fun app or the RES extension on desktop. They make the experience so much better and keep me wondering why Reddit doesn't implement some of the features provided in those extensions into the official version.

Superior sensitivity != Superior UX.

Yeah, sure if you know what you are doing observing chemical reaction can be much better. It's like the difference between consumer tools and industrial tools.

Full manual espresso machines are superior from the perspective of a coffee nerd or professional. Nespresso machines with capsules are superior from the perspective of the person who wants the coffee but doesn't fancy learning making one.
I still use reddit but less and less than I did, and the main reason for this is that the ui is getting worse and worse. I won't be installing the app as it's pointless.

I probably won't choose to stop using it, but as I use it less and less the gap will eventually reach "forever".
And it was selling at a loss as well; the device was ridiculously overbuilt, see this teardown by everyone's favorite canadian dad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cp-BGQfpHQ

Apple have been very clear about you being responsible for the SDKs you use and while the technical limitations are only about IDFA Apple have also stated that other methods of fingerprinting are not allowed when the user asked not to be tracked. Thus, App A that uses SDK B can be banned from the App Store if the user asked not to be tracked but B still tracks using something like fingerprinting.
I like this idea of using the type name to define the domain, and variable name to define the purpose.
Same. This is especially bad on Apple laptops, which heat up like crazy before fans kick in. For my 2015 MBP, it's almost unusable. I'm using reddit less and less.
I haven’t read any other books from that list but the King book, but I found it very well written and easy to understand as well.

Part of it could also be that older people are more economically and politically interesting -> more interesting to target for ads, tracking and political persuasion.

Or just the fact that older people are the decision makers deciding on these (deteriorating) things and they are more likely to target platforms they're aware of and that they recognize.

NOW there's a sub that needs more love imho.
Back in 2009-2013 or so I ran a quite popular add-on for World of Warcraft which aggregated data from about 200k active users regularly uploading it, maybe 5GB per day, into a common database of 5-10MB that was then downloaded by about 1 million users in varying intervals back into the game (it was some sort of mapping database, telling you where in the world which NPC was, with that info gathered by users using the tool). It came to eat several terabytes of monthly traffic, which was huge back in those days, but I operated that infrastructure by myself for several years on a single dedicated server for about 50€ responsible for the data aggregation work (heavy on I/O and computation) and two virtual server instances for about 15€ each which basically only served the downloads. The included traffic package on those VPSes was large, actually I chose the VPS offering precisely for that reason because I could economically cover all the download traffic that way. The compute power on them sucked, but they were basically a simple CDN setup so that didn't matter much. The total was about 70€, off course domain etc. need to be added, but I never paid more than 100€ for hosting of that app.

It is really disconcerting to see that doing similar "do-it-yourself" hosting activities nowadays appear to cost twice as much (judging by the article) while the "raw msterials" - core backbone traffic, compute power, memory and storage - all have gotten waaaaay cheaper in the last decade. Too many new rent-seeking middlemen, I guess...

Just so a few hundred of people can be ultra billionaires we use so much force and violence against any creative endavours that may jeporedize the wealth of these few individuals.
I think content is fine there is ton of subreddits that are very similar to old school bbs. As long as you don't browse front page or big generic subreddits reddit is fine.
> and equally add grid storage/supply for grid stability thruout the day in a battery form factor that's competition driven price-wise

That's a really good point! As India builds more intermittent renewables, there's an opportunity for independent storage to help stabilize the power grid that battery rental suppliers would be well placed to take advantage of. (Assuming their regulations keep up with this idea... it's been so painful watching Australia's energy regulators fumble their way towards the concept that widespread grid-tied batteries might be a GOOD thing.)
UnitInterval seems to contains an interval, not a single float. I don't think it's a very good name.

UnitIntervalNumber would be better, but it's too long.
Something like UnitNumber or UnitFloat could maybe work.

Best Monitor for PS4 Pro
Looking for a gaming monitor for your new PS4 Pro is a little tricky. Many gamers aren’t satisfied with using the TV because of the terrible resolution and low performance.

Resorting to a gaming monitor is a more competitive approach to your gameplay. This way, you can enjoy more details and get immersed in your favorite games even more.

With the increased number of monitors on the market, things can get a little overwhelming, but don’t worry; we’ll cover it all for you so you can end up with the best monitor for PS4 Pro.

I don't discourage pet ownership, in fact I think it's an extremely positive thing for many reasons. I do encourage making responsible choices when it comes to pet selection.
There's also https://voat.co, which is a reddit clone without the globohomo if that's more your thing. I find it much less hostile than reddit (I'm White).
Going over the conversation here I'm a bit surprised by how many people seem to prefer an unnecessarily complicated and obfuscating solution to the straight-forward one.

The Twitter thread clearly points out that the electronics serve strictly as an intermediary layer between the paper test and the user. They just binarize the paper reading. This in turn gives a false psychological sense of security ("it's the computer that says it, not me"), without any credible benefit.

Why should I trust the people who calibrated the electronic device more than my own eyes?

More generally, why are people so eager to discount the reliability of their own senses? You have eyes and a mind which are the product of billions of years of evolutionary refinement. If you're not sure whether it's || or |+, pee again on a different test and compare; or wait a few days. If the lighting in your bathroom is bad, take the test in natural light or a better lit room.

My personal instinct is to rely first and foremost on my own mind and senses. It's of course important to defer to expert knowledge, but we need to use our critical thinking when deciding if something is the result of expert knowledge, or simply a marketing gimmick.
I can only do that on devices/clients I control [1].

Often that's not an option and have to create workarounds on network level (for DNS).

Because I might not have a say on what device is running, but if it can't resolve internal systems its my problem.

DNSSEC is going to make my life even more interesting.
Reddit front page is deliberately designed to keep you agitated on one hand and then keep coming back for some soothing oxytocin rush as the antidote on the same page.

Also, most "general" subs celebrate mediocrity.

While true, if your language doesn’t support such a type, then the burden for such a name goes to the parameter, does it not?
Excellent article.

Worse, it [data obsession] deprives us of truly meaningful insights that are available via philosophy, intuition, and stories, but not yet fully explicable through quantitative systems.

This is why the lack of scientific evidence is never sufficient to discredit a fact. If there are no scientific studies about something, it's OK to rely on intuition and stories, and act upon them, until sufficient data is gathered for scientific inquiry.
In that case you could have the signature

Finding man, cold from a prompt, is hard. If you type help, even today, you might get the shell one which doesn't take you there. Ditto info.
They absolutely will. They will also look at the interaction and engagement rates on those awful popups and nag messages and consider them a huge success too.

I'd stop using it on mobile. Which probably wouldn't be a bad thing actually.
Opinions are of equal value [...] this is dangerous.

I disagree that it is dangerous. Of course not every opinion is worthwhile, but since opinions got labeled as too dangerous, they got much more appeal for others. Otherwise it would just be another stupid opinion.

I think this had a large negative effect on many subs since people somehow lost the ability to just ignore something or write their own opinion as a response. Everyone was screaming for mommy moderator.

Today people get a heart attack if someone writes that the earth is flat.
I'm currently looking into this for streaming (twitch in particular) specifically.
A musician can license their music within the Creative Commons. This means that people can do almost whatever they want, use it wherever, remix it, etc... As long as the author gets attribution.
Similarly, specifically for streaming, you would need a _synchronization license_, the license required to synchronize music to image (ie, streams).
It is possible to issue a global blanket sync license, meaning that basically everyone can use it, usually with the same requirement that you the streamer give attribution
If 0-100 is a percent, then wouldn't 0-1 be a perun(something)?

Yes, if you define OOP-like broadly enough, that is surely true.
That's like saying that inches are the same thing as yards because you can convert from one to the other.
But then, why couldn't you simply use the chemicals without the electronic parts?

I could imagine some reasons for pool monitoring systems - e.g., you might want to have the device perform continuous measurements and alert you if the results indicate problems - but that is not a case for a pregnancy test: People were perfectly capable to use chemicals-only tests.
Ratio? Probability? Proportion?

Out of the answers there I like AccuracyNormalized best.

That immediately conveys (to me at least) what it is and what its magnitude will be bounded by.

NonNegativeMagnitudelessFractionalQuantity
I've used "fraction" for this purpose .. but that isn't general enough. In fact a convention I've used for nearly 2 decades has been varName_unit .. where the part after the underscore (with the preceding part being camel case) indicates the unit of the value. So (x_frac, y_frac) are normalized screen coordinates whereas (x_px, y_px) would be pixel unit coordinates. Others are like freq_hz, duration_secs and so on.

While I understand it's much to ask, I can recommend this episode of the Trashfuture podcast that goes into the anti-semitism kerfuffle: https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/e/anger-ramadan-feat-...

I'm nowhere near qualified to assess how accurate all of this is, but it all feels eerily similar to how the supposed American left, the Democrats, actively undermined Bernie Sanders in ways that IMO went too far. While I'm sure that's also up for debate, I at least followed the Bernie campaign closely.

So there wouldn't be anything specific for embedded, you can apply the same testing practice as other systems where you ensure you abstract out the functions in such a way that the logic can be tested.

The complexity about embedded starts want to incorporate the testing with things like IO, which is more end to end testing rather than TDD.

That goes double for the statements by the C-suite, and triple for Ohanian and Huffman in particular.

There are numerous principled statements of theirs that were chucked to the wayside when there was money to be made or power to be gained.
I hate such titles with a passion. I wonder if people will ever realize that "X monthly users" means absolutely nothing. That's by far the most useless metric people have come up with. This is the exact equivalent of "costs of living healthy":

1. How do you define "healthy".
2. Genetic abilities.
3. Overall health.
4. Eating habits.
5. Your geographical location.
6. Your daily routine
.....
X^60000. {Factor number X^60000}

There are an infinite amount of buttons and dials that will determine how much "X monthly users" will set you back. Back in 2011 I used to own a blog that had something along the lines of 25k daily visitors. My annual bill was less than 100 bucks, domain included. And keep in mind that this was way before AWS, GCP and Azure came into the picture and costs were much higher than they are now. But I had spent months investigating the cheapest and most efficient ways to cut down costs. And it's the same with cloud providers - they can be brutally expensive or dirt cheap for the exact same thing if you don't take your time to see which and what is the best solution for your use case.

Well no, it's the earliest SURVIVING work. It's certainly interesting and a fascinating insight to how people have always looked to the stars.

Also, it was the one that got lucky and remains. I guess have to give it credit for that.

Copyright holders are constantly harrasing and taking down content of creators with valid licenses on platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Having a license means nothing to modern copyright holders and they just massively spam shotgun takedowns on everything and anything. They even managed to pervert the law to the point where there's no consequence to themselves and the creators need to prove they're NOT guilty. Again and again and again because the holders will not stop requesting takedowns even after the creator has proven their right to play sounds in their own creation repeatedly.

This is textbook abuse.
Windows doesn't have fork() or any direct equivalent (instead, Windows has the CreateProcess() familiy of functions, that work essentially like fork()+exec()).

Now depending on what you actually want to do, you have some options:

- Use the Windows Services API to ask Windows to start and manage your process as a system service - this is closest to a SystemD demon

- Create a GUI process with WindowStyle=hidden (this will be part of the current user's session)

- Create a Console process with the DETACHED_PROCESS flag, which should work similarly to the above

- Use one of the CreateProcessAsUser() family of functions to create a process for another user - this should allow the process to run in the background, and allow it to persist even if the current user signs off

In all cases above, you can simply tell CreateProcess* that the child process should not inherit any FDs. You should probably also use the PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PARENT_PROCESS flag to spawn this process as the child of some other long-running process, to ensure that the child process is not part of the same Job that the current process may be (usually, when a Job is finished, all processes in that job and any child they spawned, recursively, are killed).
Metrics driven design, if you hit your metrics even if the experience is objectively awful you're still rewarded as an employee.

Workgroup: Volunteering my time to help you get hired
If you're struggling to find work, then here is a signal. An invitation.

Your internet is a dark forest. Your job search is little more than a clearing in the forest. Jobs, strange jobs, come forth from the forest into the clearing of thy illuminated screen, and then go back. You must have the courage to seek them out, but you don’t have to go it alone.

I am a first-class community builder. However, I am mortal. Circumstances can conspire to create a challenge even for me.

Last week, I began a job search. I pulled out my bag of uncommon hacks. I got six interviews in seven days. This could be you.

I’m not offering you top-down answers. You’ll have to work for it.

Today, I am forming a band of eight. And, I am going to war, and taking the eight with me. We're taking souls. We’re winning hearts and minds. We’re all getting hired!

You can do it. Join the eight. An exclusive work-group. It's not for everyone. It’s not for the others. It’s for you buddy.

We're going to hack our way through the forest to the next jobs.

More money within nine weeks. Don’t think it’s possible... Madness? Madness? This is smarter.

We leave no person behind!

After reading this reply twice, I realised you are right and UnitInterval type indicates an interval object instead of a single scalar number.

I have actually used intervals, and should have realised this sooner. But I just had my first cup of coffee...
No books are gospel, and everything should be read critically, especially books marked as gospel.
I use this term for https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack. Sometimes I say "`x` is a normalized float between 0 to 1" to somewhat reveal the definition of the term.
I like the new Reddit. Originally I kept using the old style, but was semi forced onto the new design and now am used to it and quite like it.
Names of types usually refer to individual members thereof: number, integer, vector, string, list… A variable of a UnitInterval type would one that holds unit intervals. This is no fix.
I propose "tegritage", combining "(in)tegrity" with "-age". A concrete number by analogy would be "0.753 tegrent".
