Probably wasting six weeks of my life eating an unnecessary and suboptimal diet, for starters.
"I hate to sound like a hardcore conservative"... don't make excuses for conservative views, they are not exclusive to political leanings. Being careful isn't political.
I switched to Namecheap what feels like pretty recently; 2007! ;)
Sorry. I should have specified I that I talking specifically about background noise cancellation for voice input. I haven't seen any other of this tech in action so can't comment on how good it is.
> Your whole argument is predicated on "The law is vague. Society has decided such phrases make people unwelcome, and thus companies can be penalized for it."

No, my argument is predicated on my experience and discussions with company HR and lawyers at multiple companies. It sounds like your experience differs, and that's fine. My explanation for why the words you chose aren't specifically listed in the law is because the law is intentionally vague, and not prescriptive about which words you can use. The law is stating a goal, and companies are interpreting how to achieve that goal, because they have no other choice.

> Your argument is "law is intentionally vague, and society believes X". I agree on the former, and not the latter.

I feel like this is getting unnecessarily argumentative, and I'm guilty of escalating it. But I did not say, and didn't intend to mean that all of society agrees. However, it's sort of a fact and not a debatable point whether certain groups of people and businesses have decided that some words are sensitive. That's exactly why it's showing up in diversity programs.

> I didn't say all such things are a waste and are "for no reason".

Okay, I apologize for mis-interpreting. You have said multiple times that it is "not about the law" and you haven't offered an alternative explanation. If the reason has nothing to do with the law, then what is it, and why are companies saying it has to do with the law? What is the goal behind the proactive initiatives?

> You've also not addressed the other examples in my comment. My company, which is compliant with the law on hiring based discrimination, is not going to get sued if they decide not to hold special recruiting events for people of certain protected classes.

I tried to address this. Attitudes are changing over time. Being compliant yesterday doesn't necessarily mean you're compliant today, even if the law doesn't change wording. Growing awareness means that what's "reasonable" is a moving target. Also, we were talking about diversity training, and not affirmative action nor only hiring discrimination laws. Your company might get sued in the future if it doesn't take reasonable actions along the way to prevent people from feeling marginalized or ostracized, even though it believes it's in line with the law today. That has already happened at other companies, and one reason companies are trying to be proactive.
> It’s unlikely we could prevent such a collapse from occurring, but by anticipating such an event we may be able to save many lives and livelihoods.

Not while there’s so much political power to be had through climate change denial, which, I hope we start to treat with the same complete disgust and moral outrage as we treat Holocaust denial.
Watch the movie or doco on Dr Gerald Bull

It probably doesn't take anything special like a 50km railgun. We probably could have one by now if we had of just not stopped Gerald Bull's Canadian funding rather than assassinating him.

I don't have two monitors (I do use one external + the laptop's own), so didn't have the issue either, but the "running too long" problem has not been my experience.

I have uptimes in the months (only rebooting for the ocassional update).

But if "dual monitors have issues" is the biggest issue that comes up when someone is asked to describe their problems with an OS, I wouldn't exactly call it a "dumpster fire". More like "smooth sailing". Doubly so if it's not experienced for everybody hooking two monitors but just for e.g. that specific brand or laptop run / monitor combination.
The distributed nature of renewables is actually a huge advantage. It means the renewable system is extremely fault tolerant. Not only does that help in operation, but it means installation is much more forgiving of low quality work (so you can use cheap labor that's easy to train). Screw up 1% of the modules in a PV field and output is down 1%. Screw up 1% of the welds in a nuclear power plant and you have a world of pain.
I've been on Namecheap for 7-8 years and while I am satisfied, I have to say that Namecheap's search interface is unusably broken.

It's been so bad for a few years that I've actually wondered if it's a sign of decline at the company... if you want very specific complaints about the UI I am happy to elaborate.
The pop up ads from the site is very annoying and out of date ...
They're not just hosting it - they bought it for $100 million
Any plans to make it available in Canada?
There are many PV cleaning robots already on the market. Google for them.
While I was reading this article, I was redirected to a spurious "Update Adobe Flash" page.
It’s very good news, but not the conflict that most people are focused on (ie, Israel-vs-Palestine).
I didn't suggest that. On the contrary—that's why I scolded the others for doing it.
Problems line up on memory fragmentation and dynamic allocation. Systems like Macintosh (before OS X) and Windows 1-3 handled this with an additional level of indirection (handles) and relocation/compaction. You could also do it with smarter code that explicitly tagged pointers so they could be updated when the data moved.
Because then you sell GTA6 on ps5/Xbox, and a year later PC. And 6 years later PS6
The cost of land for PV is a small fraction of the cost of the PV put on that land. Land is very cheap in most of the world.
> those technologies are some of the cheapest sources of energy available today?

No they are not. They only work well at small percentage of generation when you have enough hydropower backup (effectively, batteries): generate from solar during day, and generate from hydro at night (or use fossil fuel backup).

> solar

In California large amount of electricity is consumed by air conditioners (4%). And they work very well together: on hot days you need more electricity for air conditioners, and on hot days solar generation works better.

And you need more air conditioners during summer, and solar works better during summer.

The opposite is true in Ukraine. They don't need air conditioners because summers are not too hot, but but they need to heat buildings at winter because winters are very cold (when solar is very poor) especially at nights (when solar does not exist).

> wind

You cannot place wind turbines anywhere. You need a place with a constant high wind (that's why offsore farms work better). I guess there are no such places in Ukraine. And still you need to have a hydro or fossil fuel backup, because wind itself cannot produce electricity constantly.

> cheapest sources of energy available today

They are cheapest because they are subsidised on one hand, and on the other hand, nuclear is penalized by lawsuits and regulartions and inspections (in the US; in Ukraine the economy barely grows, they don't build much new power plants).
Nature has numerous review articles every year since 1974 (right on their website): https://www.nature.com/nature/articles?type=review-article&y...
Spotify effectively employs Rogan. It's just another platform for Shapiro.
My parents bought a 1400 sqft, 1950s-built home in 1993 for $350k. It still has all old appliances such as a 1950s oven that looks like this [1], old gas heating vents, no central cooling, no pool. No additions. The fixtures and flooring aren't cheap, but they're not luxurious, and are over 60/70 years old at this point - only real maintenance they've done is re-shingling the roof and repaving the driveway every decade or so.

The house is now worth $2.1M (+500% gain). Obviously if they sold a new buyer would tear the whole thing down and build some huge modern home on the land (which is the actual valuable portion of the asset) as has been happening in their neighborhood.

You are placing way too much importance on the relatively small value of fixtures and "nice" amenities vs. the global glut of capital chasing appreciating assets (made much easier through online platforms) such as land in desirable areas.

The cognitive dissonance is nauseating -- on one side, a flaming sphincter of discord, pandering to the lowest common denominator. But they want the other side, the side that picks the diet and tunes the dilation to be disengaged, apolitical and obedient? I really am not sure you can have both, Zucky.
> This is just as cumbersome in the array-of-structs case: some structs are larger than others in the same array, you need some signalling mechanism to know which structs are and aren't Point3Ds

Strong disagree. The traditional OOP approach is passing indirect pointers to everything and incurring an inefficient level of indirection.

Ex:

vector<Point*> blah;
blah.push_back(&somePoint2D);
blah.push_back(&somePoint3D.xy);

foo(blah); // "Function foo" works on Point2D and Point3Ds, none the wiser
// Note that foo may change *blah[10].x += 5
// and it updates the original Point2D or Point3D. This
// wouldn't work for a copied array.

I think OOP's inefficiency is well known and often criticized. Critics are correct: OOP methodologies are inefficient (compared to other techniques). But OOP seems to have a win on various software-engineering metrics: Extendability, Open-Closed, DRY, etc. etc.

> In Rust the AOS case would be an Enum of Point and Point3D, and the SOA case would be two Vecs of ints and one Vec of Option<int>s.

Rust is a general purpose language. I'm not too good at Rust, but the AOS case would simply be a Box(Point2D).

> More generally, this sounds like a language support problem <snip>

ISPC got SOA types by the way. Check em out if you're interested:

https://ispc.github.io/ispc.html#structure-of-array-types

You don't need a very large SOA-type to take advantage of SIMD or auto-vectorization. You can "gather" into an SOA, then "scatter" back to your main representation.
It's hard to parse all the double negatives.

But, in general, businesses businesses should generally have a fairly wide latitude as to what the t-shirt slogans they allow customers to wear. (Though I think we can imagine various slogans a business might deem objectionable.)

At the same time, businesses can reasonably have a fairly narrow latitude as to what employees should wear, even barring an official dress code, with respect to even advocating for a specific candidate--and that may even get into matters of company campaigning.
This is a nonsense argument. How does the energy density of renewables prevent them from providing all the energy we need? Show us the quantitative argument (spoiler: you will not be able to do so.)
TSMC is just better right now, better management, better culture, better engineers.
Spotify should be permitted to host what it wants to. But they should also listen to their employees who do the work that makes the platform run. This article isn't about an angry Twitter mob making demands of a private company, it's about workers raising an issue with the company leadership and expecting an appropriate response (which does not necessarily mean removing content)

The article is pretty sensationalized - it does not explicitly cite what the employees were looking for or what the leadership was willing to do. We've got the content of two employees' questions, a comment from the CEO that doesn't seem to be a response to either of them, a canned response from a comms person after the fact, and a rehash of Rogan's latest controversies.
Okay, so you were talking about it from the POV of the caller, not the function. In that case, you meant "at most", not "at least". That is:

>while an &'a returned borrow means "something that lives at most up to 'a, but might live less".
I dont have answers to your questions but you might want to prefix the post with "Ask HN: ". It will drive better reach.
> Really, any function that is stateless can be moved anywhere at anytime and used anywhere without fear of it being creating a permanent foothold in the architectural complexity of the system.

That's not really true. A pure function can still be coupled to a particular internal data representation. It can still assume particular invariants that you may not want to maintain. Namespacing functions together with the data structures they operate on is still a good idea, and helps with keeping a coherent model at each level - e.g. if your business logic is calling a function that's about the specific mechanics of encoding data for Redis, you're probably using the wrong abstraction.

Pushing mutability to the edges is good and useful but it's not the be-all and end-all of decoupling. Enforced walls are a much better idea than spending your discipline budget on maintaining decoupling by hand. A lot of the time a pure function can actually be decoupled completely from the datatypes it's operating on by using parametricity (and maybe a standard typeclass that the datatype it operates on conforms to), but you may not notice that unless you've got some module boundaries that nudge you to think about that kind of thing.
And yet, the cost of a kWh from renewables is less than from nuclear, for all the supposed advantage of nuclear's energy density. This should tell you that energy density is not actually a good metric.
OpenPGP is the standard, gnupg is a implementation.
This is unfortunate and unacceptable. Joe should have a free and censorship free place to discuss topics.

We have lost our minds: the ability to freely and discuss literally any topic was an American staple. Now you don’t dare say something that could potentially offend someone.

I could be fired if I said what I really think about some controversial issues and linked it to my identity. That’s not a world I enjoy living in.

At least until somebody gets a design that isn't basically a coal power plant using different fuel, nuclear can not get cheaper than coal.

And guess what is being mass decommissioned right now because it's too expensive?
On this issue, Joe has talked at length on the nuances of his position. It’s not strictly an anti- position, and it’s not on identity. Personally, I find his position to be reasonable.
I should have been more clear. Like someone else mentioned, these diversity (and inclusion) discussions are not related to discrimination laws and equal opportunity. They are always related to increasing diversity in the company by hiring more underrepresented people (previously this just meant women in eng but now it's been expanded to POC). In order to achieve this, companies are actively discriminating against non-minorities, which some may call positive discrimination. Regardless, it's discrimination nonetheless and it's very common yet somehow nobody cares.
That's a good point.

At first I was like, NumPy's fame -- owing to the rise of Python in scientific computing and data science circles -- has gone far beyond that of most things ever published in academic journals, so this hardly seems necessary.

But I see your point: Nature has always been held in high regard among natural scientists, and though most recently minted natural scientists have at least a passing familiarity with Python, the generations of scientists before them probably don't. Nature at least has enough of a cachet to grab their attention.

Plus having a publication in Nature does open doors. Travis Oliphant and some of the already-famous co-authors probably don't need these doors opened, but I'm sure others on that list would benefit.
If we did that, we would not have the luxury of science, having forgotten the necessity of sovereignty.

It's not strange if it's their business to pre-register anything you might be remotely interested in, so that they can profit more when they "sell" it to you...
What also disgusts me are so-called environmentalists that stick their fingers in their ears and ignore reality. For example solar panels and wind farms aren’t going to get our carbon footprint to zero anytime soon - the technology is decades (maybe?) away to store and transmit this power to non-sunny and non-windy areas, and there is no solution for their intermittent power generation during extended periods of low-wind and cloud (or smoke!) cover. The only rational solution is nuclear power! But try putting that to a vote and see where it gets you.

Additionally scientists should be looking at bandaids to extract carbon from the air or reflect sun back to space.

Malthusians who wish everyone just uses less power are both irrational and immoral. We should be trying to give every person on earth as much power as possible with the least damage to the environment. Modern society needs power.

Reference? I know there was some push back on their "walk away safe" claim (something that these guys have a better story for) but I had not seen anywhere that Nuscale would not be able to build their reactors in a factory.
It is really sad that you had such a bad experience with their support but having such an option about a whole region of a continent just because the GDP is lower... Our salaries here in Europe's Eastern part are definitely lower than in Western Europe or in the US that definitely this does not mean we would steal to have more money. Honor is not related to how much money you earn...
I like Lance Armstrong's words along those lines: "People ask me what I'm on. What am I on? What am I on? I'm on my goddamn BIKE, that's what I'm on. I'm on my bike 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's all it takes. That, and the drugs."

Maybe I'm misremembering his exact phrasing, but if it works, it works...
With Ryzen's support of ECC, if AMD brought SR-IOV to its non-work station radeon cards, it would be another interesting feather in its cap.

Except Rogan’s podcast is full length and unedited, which is exactly why he chose the format.
> abdicating my moral precepts

Sounds like there's nothing left to abdicate.
But RSS distribution is hard to monetize. That's why a big part of the JRE podcast business model was uploading the videos to YouTube and also create all the highlights and such.

But in YouTube they got several videos demonetized, so there's really no escape.

This is the distribution problem. If you don't have distribution and rely on others for that you have to play by their rules even if they are ridiculous or broken.

I think that the canonical solution for Spotify would be to not run ads on the "controversial" episodes. Either way it doesn't affect JR since his contract seems to be lump sums of money for keep creating the content.
What this means in intent and practice is that you are not allowed to discuss social issues that the hierarchy and those that align with the hierarchy find objectionable.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that if a facebook employee wants to talk about poverty in underdeveloped countries on internal social media, then that's going to be ok, but if the discussion concerns people who were harmed because they followed bad medical advice that was spread by use of facebook, all of a sudden that's an unacceptable socal issue at work.
It would not be the first time nature is blamed for human activity, so I am not sure what makes you so sure.

Two separate papers have come out saying pretty much the same thing, that there is lots of evidence pointing to this virus being more likely engineered (by modifying existing viruses) and that each piece of evidence also matches papers put out by researchers working at the Wuhan-based virus research lab, which is also where the outbreak is thought to have begun.
That's a pretty good price. Imagine if masks did not cost so much to make. We would see tons more custom designs.

I've never really had to program using Ruby but just reading this Concerns concept makes me shudder. Am glad that I do not have to deal with the code structured in such way.
Right, so why talk about the standard when you mean, specifically, GnuPG?

If you want an explanation of why GnuPG is dangerous for anything besides email, let me know. But parent post was very specifically NOT about GnuPG- it was about OpenPGP.
That would kill almost every internet company. For example if the CDA was repealed then this site would go away almost overnight.
Freedom of speech is the right to not be persecuted/sued/shut-down/jailed by the government. Emphasis on government. It's a free market place of ideas, you are allowed to say anything but you are also allowed to suffer the consequences of what you said and be confronted about it by other peers. It's not called "freedom of speech and receive unconditional support and applause". People are free to criticize Rogan, Spotify, their guests, your comment, my comment, etc. Any individual or company is allowed to decide on their contracts or thru whatever means on how to handle this situation that turn into public relation issues. No one is saying throw Rogan and all his guests in jail, they are just exercising their freedom of speech in saying "hey do we really want this partnership, and why?"
