I have gotten fruit. About 50% of the cuttings I use produce fruit right now. I am still working to optimize the process. I throw the cuttings away after they produce fruit. More cuttings can be collected each year as canes are pruned in the vineyard.
Maybe toshiba? I have a 2012 model, and has no creap, but it may have changed.

On the surface of it, this sounds like a tool that could open up some new research avenues. Like I wrote in another comment: I wonder if there are metastable states into which you could nudge the atoms using those pulses, in which those atoms could stay after the pulses shut off? If so, then that's another set of Legos for chemists to play with.

I use WordPress because it is easy to use, there is a plugin for everything, and it allows me to focus on writing articles for my blog instead of fiddling with something new that I would have to take the time to learn. I have contemplated using something else many, many times. I have even contemplated rolling my own solution. But a CMS isn't something I'm really interested in building. I've never edited a single line of PHP for my blog, so the fact that it is built with PHP does not concern me. Sometimes people are surprised I choose to use WordPress instead of inventing something of my own in a programming language I'm passionate about. I always point out that if I did that I would not have time for anything else with the programming languages I enjoy.
> In the top 10, only 3

Yet again why the arbitrary limitation? Your own source shows about a dozen areas going from the 5-8 band to the over-8 band since 1990. More than two dozen going from the 4-5 band or lower to the 5-8 band. When each multiple represents most of $100K. When the entire graph should ideally remain about the same color overall but is clearly getting worse. Buy hey, let's look only at the top 10 out of 392 and ignore the fifth of the population that's not in an MSA. That's totally the way to "systematically isolate root causes" ... so long as the root causes are the ones we find convenient. Otherwise not.
50% of those 10% positive cases were atrial fibrillation which is pretty serious (can lead to stroke), and wouldn't be diagnosed at a routine checkup as it requires an ECG

It's a traditional antiseptic introduced in the UK in the 1920s. It has a strong, somewhat medicinal, smell. I gargled it once, and regretted it because it tastes foul.

As well as misleading, the article seems outdated? Which is weird, because archive.org's first snapshot of it is today.

So, GNOME Software has included a "Permissions" field (which lists an application's specific sandbox holes) since - if I recall correctly - GNOME 3.34: https://i.imgur.com/lCGgA1B.png. Not perfect, but definitely better than pictured. It's a bit of a shame that people have to use older versions of GNOME in 2020, but then, it's nice that Flatpak makes it easy to run new applications regardless :)

Also, I was trying to verify the author's claim about a vulnerable libssh in the gitg package, partly because I was curious whether they'd bothered to report any of these issues upstream. Looks like that was fixed in May: https://github.com/flathub/org.gnome.gitg/pull/12. Similar story with ffmpeg: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/commit/....

So, woefully behind schedule, but, how long was the author sitting on these? It would be more accurate, less irritating, and more persuasive if they simply talked about it after the fact: this happened, various things are wrong with it, it should be avoidable, etc.
Thank you for the firefly reference
The Soviet Union had planned economy. The problem with it required constant manual intervention. So the "state projects" worked reasonably well. The defense industry worked well. Whatever was left to develop on its own quickly lost quality and only stayed competitive because of locked borders and total deficit of goods.
> I'm going to risk going against the zeitgeist and expose myself to a bunch of downvotes right now.

It’s off topic, but I recommend you do it. I’ve found HN to be a great place for those types of discussions provided you have a relatively thick skin and don’t engage in hostility.
Depending on your POV, financial exchanges are a great/awful example of the "behind the surface" complexity of modern life. You'd think with only a few order types and not that many tickers you could stand up an exchange using rust in a few nights and weekends, no? fsync liberally, pay colin his tarsnap dues, and off you go! /s
I never reduced his works to dealing with economic issues and saying so is a misreading of what I wrote. What I meant was that the aspects of his work that do focus on economic issues betray a lack of technical understanding and a clear ideological agenda that biases presentation. The former is especially useful to the latter in that it uses deliberate ambiguities to allow one to sprout falsehoods via false analogy and omission. One can then lie by stating facts, selectively.

If that's what you enjoy watching, that's cool man, but just keep in mind it's fiction and is of very little practical use besides entertainment value. Definitely don't try to build a political movement based on it! Unless you want it to fail. Repeatedly.
I bought a $3500 Samsung TV. I realize that's an outlier. But I'd happily have paid $3600 not to have to worry about this.

It's not just sparsely populated areas. The tool lets you see it on a per-MSA level.

Here's a list of the most populated metropolitan areas in the US -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_statistic...

Among the top 10, only 3 experienced a substantial multiplier increase (New York, LA, Miami).

Among the top 20, only an additional 4 (San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Denver)

That means only 7 of the top 20 most populated MSAs experienced a substantial multiplier increase. It's largely dependent on local land use policy.
Define disrespectful and exploitative.

There are some obvious cases that I think no one on HN would argue. But to use an example from above, Adele had a Caribbean-style look, and definitely got press and clicks because of it -- indirect, but definitely profiting. Is that exploitative?

That's a very valid point.

But it ignores the extent to which we've deliberately worked very hard to make capital mobile. As noted elsewhere in the thread, feudal societies used to see most wealth accumulated in the form of real estate, which is more or less the definition of immobile capital. We've built huge and complex social institutions around making capital mobile, and even allowed them to suck up a rather notable percentage of GDP.

Imagine what a world would look like that put as much effort into the free movement of labor. And note: not all capital is internationally mobile, and in the same spirit, nobody would sensibly suggest that all labor would or should become mobile. There's plenty of room and benefits for investing both close to home (which is all part of "putting down roots"). It's a question of balance between local, regional, national and global for both capital and labor mobility.
The primary reason I have when considering using a flatpak or appimage is for software either not commonly included in distros (eg. proprietary software like games) or that are updated more often than the distro cares to manage (eg. browsers). It fills the gaps in distros.
The opposite end of the spectrum causes problems too: "It's ok for some people to die, if it results in a small amount of good for a large number of people." One way to look at the problem with that in practice is that small amounts of good and large numbers of people both tend to involve a lot of uncertainty. When we're allowed to do motivated reasoning with enough uncertainty, we can usually prove whatever we want, and that sort of simple utilitarianism ends up being too easy to abuse. I think we can look at cultural taboos as a practical solution to this problem: "Ok, clearly there's no reliable way for us to say what killing is good and what killing is bad, and we all agree that most of it is bad, so let's make the simplifying assumption that all killing is bad."
In medium sized companies, I would say it is quite common.

They are too large to give new employees significant stock options, yet too small to pay FAANG-competititve rates. So you're starting with less salary and no stock. If you now have an egomaniac boss who thinks his own personal brilliance is always the cause for the company's got fate, then there's a good chance he will just take credit for your invention and your bonus is gone.

And in slightly larger companies, chances are someone in the management chain will take credit for it and get the bonus. There's a reason why in most companies, you can never talk directly to the upper management: Middle management has strong financial incentives to prevent that.

> freshness (on the timescale of minutes or hours) is almost worthless.

On the contrary, users get very angry if stuff isn't fresh.

Someone changes trump article to say he is a poopy head. If that gets fixed in 2 seconds, no big deal. If that gets cached, and the edit to fix it doesnt hit the caches for a couple hours, wikipedia is now the top story on CNN.

Generally wikipedia caches are expected to be updated within seconds or minutes at most.

You were one click away of using LLVM's Machine Code Analyzer (MCA) within godbolt to see why one of the two isvowel one-liners is objectively better than the other: https://godbolt.org/z/fGEv3c

This version:

bool isvowel(char c){ return (0x104111>>c-'a')&1; }

puts way more pressure on Port 2 on skylake, reducing the number of IPC that can be scheduled. The first version is therefore a bit better.

With respect I don't appreciate being second-guessed like that. To me it feels like you're implying I'm some kind of idiot that can't see what's in front of his face. Just letting you know.

> Calling the cops is a ridiculous reaction to just about anything these days other than someone has been shot.

You don't understand, I'd be calling the cops because this guy is about to get shot. Some folks in my "hood" have strong and definite opinions about personal boundaries.
Weird. I tell my folks to get their work done and I expect them to schedule their own time because I trust them as professionals. If they need to work between 6pm to 2am or 4am to 10am because that's when they're the most productive, or they're dealing with something in life and they're still getting the work done I trust them. I feel folks get fully jaded because everyone sets up all this rigidity and there's a huge lost of mutual trust and respect because of it.

Coming in twice an hour late and being ridiculed about it is ridiculous. This is professional life, not some strict grade school.

A Radical Proposal for Legal Reform – Equal Representation
I have kind of had this fantasy of doing economic development stuff and crowd funding it via Patreon and tips because a lot of the people who need the help the most can't afford to pay for it and my volunteer work the past couple of years has cast a lot of light on just how badly this space tends to be served by people supposedly trying to serve it.

I have a website, but it's only like two pages so far. I'm still trying to work out where I am going to go with this.

But there are local organizations that supposedly are doing economic development and I'm not actually seeing that happen. And I think it probably will not ever go anywhere.

I'm actually doing economic development, but I can't figure out how to make it pay. I run r/ClothingStartups and people are promoting their indie brands there, but being a moderator of Reddit doesn't pay anything. I run a bunch of blogs with useful info, but a lot of it is aimed at helping homeless people and poor people.

And it's very much needed and it's very much effective, but it still pays me a pittance. I'm not sure how to sort that out.

I'm working on it.
> In my case, I feel offended when anyone brings up things like that. Please stop posting this kind of comments.

I don't mean to offend anyone, I just have to point this out:

I'm Romanian. Considering how much worse, overall, our history was compared to yours (since I noticed you're Polish), I'm not sure you get to play the "I'm offended" card against me.
You don't really become an adult until your parents move in.
I think it's more accurate to say Palantir is a data analysis company.

The differences would be better compared to a company like Snowflake.

Perhaps that would explain the greater number of engineers, the timeline and parallels to high-margin tech companies. In fact, the prospectus points to their surprisingly positive margins.
Here's a version with a less-restrictive paywall -- from January:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-13/middle-ag...

Which seems to be based on this 2017 article:

https://voxeu.org/article/midlife-low-human-beings

Though I think the real point of this article is that the economists find a midlife dip and psychologists don't, as in this paper from March:

The worst case for a hashtable degenerating to a linked list can be often exploited to form a DOS attack. It is enough that user controls the keys inserted to the hashtable and the hash function is not cryptographically secure (typically they are not for performance reasons). That's why it is much wiser to use a binary tree for resolving collisions.

So in this case - the worst case analysis is useful.
It's little realized that coal and the light water reactor were killed by the same culprit: the steam turbine.

Gas turbines rapidly took over the power conversion business because a gas turbine has 1/10 or less the mass and volume of an equivalent steam turbine.

Even if the heat was free it would be hard to make a profit with a steam turbine power station. The "steam generators" of an LWR are absolutely huge heat exchangers and what you see people build here is why the fast breeder died

To be competitive nuclear energy would have had to (or will have to) switch to some technology like

https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/ICONE/proceedings-abs...

This means giving up on the LWR and going to either a high power density fast reactor like the successful "Fast Flux Test Facility" or a thermal reactor with a different chemistry based on solid carbides or liquid fluorides.
> that were each tailored to fit specific audit items that cropped up over the years.

Or worse, "compliance" line items, that some tool or some company identified in their cookie-cutter processes. As long as that line item goes away, noone really cares what the long term implications are.
On the hardware side (there are plenty of public resources about implementing graphics in software for the ground up), Jaymin Kessler's Jaystation2 and Jaystation3 dev blogs where he makes a GPU that runs on a FPGA might be useful http://maisonikkoku.com/. This course also looks very useful from the hardware design standpoint https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse467/15wi/. GPU hardware design, unlike CPUs, seems to be much more esoteric with very little shared info due to the key players in the space and possibly all the patents.

For graphics programming in general Graphics Codex looks really good (I haven't done the course, but I know people that have). https://graphicscodex.com/
On the other hand, I’ve found my doctor at least is very receptive to specific concerns and happy to offer advice on whether or not I should get additional tests. In a couple of cases he’s recommended against tests but I judged them to be worthwhile. Because I’m the one paying for it, he’s been fine with that.

I see a large part of a doctor’s job as being an expert consultant for an individual to make decisions about their own healthcare. Someone who is interested in and involved in their own risks is likely an extreme outlier to begin with.
You're bringing up very real issues that I think really have nothing to do with whether we decide to measure, report, and learn more about cardiac anomalies or not. I agree that we should be careful about how we report and apply information, but that isn't the same as saying we shouldn't look in the first place. Right now practically nobody ever bothers to look for symptoms of something that we believe full well to be the #1 leading cause of death by a large margin. That should really not be accepted by anyone.
What you describe is a relatively balanced scenario.

No serious model calls Trump’s chances ‘very good’ right now. The Economist says it’s 10%, and FiveThirtyEight says 20%.

So, we’re looking at 50% of the last 6.

There is no overweighting except if you imagine a Trump victory.

Ask HN: How to handle being Republican in Silicon Valley in 2020?
Title is fairly straightforward. But some context:

I work for a later stage Silicon Valley start up. Really, I don't have any real complaints. Work-life balance is fair. Compensation is good. Culture is for the most part, very welcoming.

Emphasis on "the most part", as when it comes to political matters, the company is pretty openly to the left on its affairs, and does not really maintain a sense of being apolitical.

I know that I'm in Silicon Valley, and this is definitely one of the more Democratic and progressive areas. I can't say I'm surprised. This isn't out of nowhere.

The company has always been incredibly vocal about topical issues in the media that are more progressively focused. Our executive staff gave long speeches at all hands around the incidents regarding BLM victims George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. There was talk around Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her passing. In all of this, it was given much sympathy and plight. Accommodations were met for employees, encouraging time to be taken off for mental well being.

The opposite side of the spectrum is shameful. Just today conversations around President Trump's positive test to COVID-19 were being chatted about amongst employees--and very openly, there plenty of remarks of almost gleeful giddiness. Thinly veiled rhetoric along the lines of "I can't _say_ I hope this kills him, but I really, really do" everywhere.

I understand there's plenty of concerns around the behavior of our President. I have my own around the Democratic party and associated groups as well. Neither side is perfect, but the fact that I see the need that I have to justify or outline this because of my political preference should speak to itself.

I don't want the conversation to focus on the actions of the political left or right, but rather, that in a more divided political environment than ever, how do you handle not being in the politically favored side in your workplace?

I would define "fair" here as roughly 3x the local rent, so that your salary is sufficient to comfortably feed a middle-class family. Let's cap that to be at max 25% of the value created for the company, and it's a strong incentive for the inventor while remaining ridiculously profitable for the company.

OpenBSD chose BSD Auth over PAM for this reason. With BSD Auth the C API invokes binaries in /usr/lib/auth which are SUID or SGID according to which permissions are required for the credential store.
Probably because of bike shedding. It’s not exactly hard to write some simple code from scratch to read the input files, pass them through various parsers, templates, processors, and write out the result. The heavy lifting is done by the processors, which you typically don’t need to write yourself.

So an SSG is an attempt to put an abstraction on top of this, which may have some benefits but also introduces a lot of relatively uncalled for complexity and fragile dependency chains. And because the nature of the task is very heterogeneous, the API will either have to be very allowing (and less useful as an abstraction) or impose various assumptions and restrictions on how you do things. That’s very fertile ground for a lot of people to want to create their own take on it as they run into limitations of existing SSGs.

The Bloomberg terminal uses a piece of hardware that generates 2FA tokens, but requires you to scan your fingerprint each time. So we need a fake finger that also has my fingerprint, and a webcam pointed at the 2FA hardware, so I can just get my auth keys remotely and not need to carry around another dongle.
I (mostly) disagree. If I receive an RSU grant that vests over 4 years, it's not just because the company hopes I'll stay that long but primarily because the company hopes that will align my incentives with the shareholders' incentives. If I work to make the company better over a multi-year period, we all win together. If they instead just give me the equivalent value in cash salary, my incentive is to extend my term of employment, not the value of the company.
Oh, you mean buffer time?

But that drags your ratings down, not up. You do not look better by doing work slower. If you had an actual "ticket goal" to hit, then you'd be taking overtime, instead of buffer time.
