In the UK, you can't "latch" it on - for flow, you need to hold the handle down constantly. This means that you are unlikely to drive off with the dispenser still in the car as there is no benefit to the driver to leave it in when they have finished.

It is interesting that it is the same dispenser design used around the world, but the latch is removed in the UK.

However, As a teenager I discovered the wonders of the latch on fuel dispensers on airfields. Then on the road I started using the removable fuel-cap as a wedge to the dispenser. eeeeek!

The thing specifically with KaTeX is that if you do this, you can blow page sizes out completely. In the example above, less than 20 characters of latex turned into a giant amount of HTML markup. Repeat this in many places for a mathematics-heavy page, and the browser might be better off just running KaTeX itself. Besides, you need to ship a whole bunch of fonts and a stylesheet anyway.

That’s an interesting take for sure, and I think I read about this caveat elsewhere. Let me just add that Paul Gilbert has a very broad musical range - there surely is a lot of high gain shredding (at least in earlier days), but he‘s also doing amazing work with clean settings and acoustic guitars. His hearing is not the best though, so maybe subtle differences in dynamics escape him :)

Personally I think that most problems people report about Kemper‘s sound stem from their speaker setup. If you use it for audio recordings or for loud stage setups, you most likely won’t be able to tell any difference. There are lots of blind tests out there and people often think that the Kemper is the real amp.
That's an expert question

For large enough companies it can be a legitimate role; I know it exists inside Microsoft. There are multiple teams focused on build, test, release, and debugging infrastructure. I guess that's the type of thing you need once you reach hundreds to thousands of teams. Not to mention the rich data you can collect on process across the company; it likely makes cross-referencing issues easier for those central teams.

I think it might be useful to have a team of DevOps Engineers that rotate between teams every 3-6 months, implementing build+test+release+live site tools & infrastructure for their assigned team during each rotation, and then produce notes that get collected and merged across the DevOps Engineers (DOEs) across the company.

I think this could benefit a (large?) company in multiple ways:

- Because they rotate so frequently, they need to get off the ground quickly, they'll end up producing useful documentation (& keeping docs provided by the previous engineers up to date).

- Because they're exposed to so many different archiectures/stacks/failure modes, they'll gain a broader understanding of where the organization is. If you pool this knowledge across all DOEs you can find The Right Abstraction(TM) and build better tools. It'd also function as a health check across the organization: What teams need more assistance? What tools fail most often?

- Having to implement the same things for multiple teams will result in stronger automation and faster path for greenfield teams.

- If the DOEs have tight integration with build/test/release infrastructure teams, then they can work with those teams to improve tooling UX. What tools do we need? What tools does nobody use? The DOEs know from experience where the warts are.

As an extension, the infrastructure teams mentioned in the last point could also be formed out of a rotating roster of DOEs: they're not always out helping other teams directly, but sometimes "come home" to build new tools & services that address needs of other DOEs, needs that originated from work with other teams in the organization.

-- Separate idea --

I think the biggest concern people raise with DOE positions is that infrastructure work is finite: eventually it "just works" and no further work is necessary. I'd counter that the role of DOEs is to push customer-impacting incidents to 0 while maximizing productivity of other developers. It involves a mindset of "Every incident that happens in production can be avoided."

I have been using an old smartphone as webcam for quite some time now, and I got to say it works quite well. The only problem is the power supply, because video recording draws a lot of power it drains the battery even when it's plugged in.

Of course, an out of the box solution with UVC would be much nicer!
> it is usually much easier to reach that throughput with AVX-512 than with AVX/AVX2

That's not what I understood from people who've gone through the exercise for GEMM. One probably relevant measurement: on BLIS' generic C GEMM micro-kernel, GCC doesn't get nearly as close to the hand-coded avx512 version as for avx2 with appropriate bock sizes.
Change english to Korean and all the variables names to the Korean translation and read your reply again. To someone who is fluent in Korean there is no problem, but to the rest of us English speakers (who don't know Korean) the long names with weird symbols are even less readable than lbb.

I have in my day job some code we got from Korea. I'm told by those who have spent the time to understand it that it is good code. But since it was written in Korean it is a level harder to figure out.

Automating Go Integration Tests with Docker
Police have an obligation (and so does everyone else) to report any crime they're aware of.

But the same goes stronger for police officers: they cannot have a court document (like a witness statement) they know of that contains crimes and then not report those. Any such document kills the "I didn't know" defense. And parking violations are crimes. If they have a DA that doesn't like them ...

So yes they do. In theory they risk their job if they don't. Now I'm not stupid. No precinct commissioner will fire an agent for this. However they will strongly discourage making a habit out of that. And if there is even a slight appearance that they're neglecting to report it because they're friends or family of the "perpetrators", then it becomes a LOT more serious.

The same goes for private individuals by the way, except your job is safe (unless it requires strict no convictions, like healthcare positions). However, this is still one of the reasons for you tell the police "I don't know. I haven't seen a thing", because if you had seen it, didn't report it of your own accord and they don't like you, you'll be paying a fine.

This is exactly the reason I run arch. I have repaired loads of colleagues fedora installs that broke during dist-upgrade. And I the two times I tried to dist-upgrade old ubuntu installs went catastrophically wrong.

With arch I update every day or once a week and don't have to worry.
> But we expect 5 year olds to grow up to better.

But we shouldn't where it's important (implying that code is important). Don't put the "open door" button next to the "set building on fire" button, just because all employees should know which button to press to open the door.

It reminds me of Pointing and Calling [1]. Of course you expect everybody to be able to do things without pointing and calling, but it improves safety and reduces errors, and that's more important than "but people should be able to do it without silly gestures", isn't it?

But as far as I can see, that lens (assuming the default 6mm lens offered with the module) will give you about the same effective resolution as your standard webcam, with maybe slightly better control over depth of field, far worse image distortion near the edges, and no autofocus.

The cheapest 6mm lenses that come even remotely close to using the sensor resolution start at 400€.

> mid grade gas is just premium and regular gas that is gets mixed

There is nothing else "premium" about premium gas, than that it can be compressed more in the engine. Compressibility is measured by the octane rating, so it makes sense than mixing 87 octane gas and 91 octane gas, gives you 89 octane gas (using the American octane scale, Europe uses a different scale).

It's for this that I bought the reMarkable and drag it into every meeting I attend. I feel like I'm in more control of what is happening instead of staring at a laptop screen and not really showing interest in the meeting at hand. I hold the device like a notepad and it gives for a completely different dynamic then a laptop (or even an iPad tbh).
It's also reasonable to write for its own sake. I find writing therapeutic, as a result I've yet again started a blog. I don't care if anyone reads it, the act of writing and publishing is what makes me relax.
Yes, though depending on your part of the world there may be more or less. Mazda MX-5 is one example.
but probably not to "Contributing Editor[s]" and the like
No, what I wrote is true based on the info listed on fly.io. Either those prices and specs are incorrect, or your comment is narrowly focusing on the CPU axis (which still doesn't make for a good comparison, considering the options Fly gives are $2.67 or $8) and calling it sufficient. DigitalOcean's cheapest droplet comes with 1GB RAM, whereas to match that with Fly, that's $35 minimum. You don't get to ignore that. Add in the costs listed under Fly's "Network prices" and we're nowhere close to $5.

If for some convoluted reason this is wrong, then you guys really need to reconsider how you're presenting your prices and to lay out exactly what those convoluted reasons are, because Fly's pricing page certainly tells people that trying to match DigitalOcean's $5 plan is going to cost 10x on Fly.
Ask HN: Is it okay to resign after 4 months as a new grad?
Hi, I am a new grad and I joined VISA, India 3 months ago. My job profile is Software Developer. I received offer from Google, Zurich few days back. I feel this opportunity is great for me because of much higher compensation, career growth, tech, people and location. My current manager and teammates are so nice and supportive. I am feeling guilty for resigning so soon. Moreover, my first two months were spent on bootcamps, so I only started being productive now. I feel my mentor/manager/company put a lot of efforts to onboard me and I haven't given back the dues. I don't want to burn any bridges. How do I talk to my manager about resignation? My contract has mandatory 1 month notice period.

IN all honesty, though, if bright colors sold better, they'd have bright colors. I personally would rather have a boring colored car in most cases. The main reason I'm not currently choosy about color is because I buy used cars. The current car is a 20-year-old Toyota, purchased earlier in the summer. (The car gets used 2-4 times a month, and I don't drive due to oversight after moving overseas).

And it isn't like companies don't offer choices. People are simply buying "boring" colors more often.
Interesting question. Slightly related, the book The Checklist Manifesto argues for checklists in operation rooms, to prevent rare but disastrous cases like "scalpel left inside patient", or "wrong blood type administered".

So maybe a different version of the question could be: "Do you have more or less confidence in the operating team (surgeon, nurses) using a checklist?" After reading the book I would have more confidence.

To be fair to WHO, I don't think they ever advocated lockdowns.

The other thing that puzzles me is that I see some data that suggest lockdowns are not even helping to stop virus from spreading and this doesn't seem to be ever mentioned or discussed. It looks like an important point to me.

I am referring to two serology studies, one in Spain [1], one in Italy [2], both with the same conclusion. Health workers got more infected than the rest of the population, but outside of health workers, same % with covid antibodies between essential workers who were not locked down and people who were locked down.

The shape and timing of infections or covid deaths in Sweden is also almost identical to other European countries, suggesting the peak had more to do with the natural evolution of the virus rather than lockdowns.

The downside with using native web views was that if you wanted a cross platform application, you had to use IE11 web views on Windows. So that limitation alone prevented many developers ever going down that route. The solution to that was Electron and bundling a modern web browser with the application.

However... The latest versions of Windows 10 now use the newest Chromium based Edge as the native web view. So the need to use Electron is slowly going away.

You know, I've heard this - more often in the light of 'cops will see you more' - but I've never seen proof of it. I suspect it is an outdated thing, since newer cars are more likely to have things like daytime headlights, side lights, and multiple lights on the back of the car. I'm going to guess lights more than make up for the small gain in visibility.

I was on some Facebook thread and some people were posting screenshots of how they lost 100% during the pandemic... Like $20,000 -> 0 in a matter of weeks. It was extraordinary. They were all using WSB and doing extremely foolish options trades.

Before seeing that I would have claimed basically any sincere strategy in good faith would be a winner right now. Clearly no, there's plenty of people who managed to burn through thousands in these conditions.

Really illustrates the difference between gambling and investing.

It's probably excellent advice to never look at WSB and regard it as 100% noise.

Usually you give each constant a name and then operate on them symbolically.

If it's a simple enough operation you can skip that and just add a comment.

In this example, there are 9 arithmetic operations and there are clearly more readable ways of doing this. This is the point I am trying to make.

For the author of this article, using roman numerals and using arabic numerals are the same because they represent the same quantities. However, in practice, if you have 2 accountants and tell one of them to use roman numerals, the one using roman numerals will be less productive, make more mistakes and will likely be frustrated.

I don't mind this, though. If you really want a fancy color, go ahead and pay for it. I am fine with 'boring' color, but then again, if I'm buying new, I'm also likely to get a boring compact, efficient car (hopefully electric).

Natural gas measurement is temperature-compensated, at least here in central europe. You pay for the heat energy contained in the gas, not for the net volume. The compensated heat energy is calculated based on consumption profile of the consumer class (cooking only, cooking and heating, business etc) and temperature profile of the location (pretty fine grained temperature regions).

But yes, you can still trick the meter by cooling the input medium.
People became too focused on money.

Focus on money almost makes everything less fun.

It used to be that people just bought a yellow car because they like it.

But when you do that today some people will say 'but what about the resell value?'. This will make you question your decision.

People are becoming less and less authentic. This sucks.

Just buy a car you like. Having a good time is more important than resell value.
We use this with markdown. Basically, we extended our markdown parser to parse anything between two $$ tags as KaTeX. It was really easy to implement. And, KaTeX is much faster than other alternatives we tested (Yes, that's what title says :) )
I disagree. Pre-X checklists exist because the reliability gained by going through step-by-step isn't easily replicated by other means. And, even if the surgeon has done your procedure every day this week, what are the odds they did it for someone with exactly your 'specs'? Surely there are considerations to be made based on age, gender, allergies, fitness level, and much more that it would be worthwhile to address prior to cutting into the patient.

Advice from vested interests might not be always beneficial to the investor or the market e.g. From some one trying to short the stock.
x, y, z, t is not the suggested alternative. leftBottom, rightBottom, was clearly the intended alternative. A "Length" suffix could be added to make it clear it's not coordinates, but I think it's better to encode this into the struct naming:

struct BoxDimensions {
topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight
}

In code working with these objects it's likely both obvious and necessary to know that the code works with dimensions. Ie.: being reminded of this each time you encounter a variable it just noise.

Code with longer names are harder to scan.

boxDim.measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox - boxDim.measurementOfRightBottomSideOfBox

vs

boxDim.bottomLeft - boxDim.bottomRight

The second only need a glance, the first you have to read/scan multiple times to dig out which delta it is.

If it's important to distinguish between measurements and true values it would be better to encode this in the struct variable name. Having distinct types for measurements and true value would be a hassle no?

trueBox.bottomLeft - measuredBox.bottomLeft

vs

trueBox.trueLengthOfBottomLeftSideOfBox - measuredBox.measurementOfBottomLeftSideOfBox

The second one is just exhausting to me at least.
