I have zero idea what you are talking about here. I was saying that it isn't difficult to find enough land to be isolated and self sufficient and you are talking about "concern over rest stops on the interstate being monetized".
That's basically how I learned Japanese grammar. All I needed were 3 to 5 example sentences in an Anki and I could get an intuition for it after that.
That depends on what you define as a "mass shooting". Some of the statistics turn out to be playing a game of sleight of hand, defining events that really shouldn't be classified as a mass shooting as a mass shooting. Most of that talk is to get the peanut gallery up in a tizzy about a problem that is far less dire than suggested.

Here's a link to some data being combed from 2019.

Also, there are instances where suicides are being tagged as mass shootings as well.

Frankly, I think we could stand to increase education around the issue of guns, mental health, and personal responsibility, rather than trying to reflexively legislate away access to firearms, which primarily affects law abiding citizens and not criminals.

Just some food for thought.
A big part of that was people using stocks as collateral to borrow money to buy more stocks.

For a very long time, budget Android devices that were one or even two generations older were faster than just released iPhones at launching new apps to interactivity (see: hundreds of Youtube "speed comparison" videos). This was purely due to better software, as the iPhone had significantly faster processors and I/O. RAM doesn't play a big factor at launch. One very minor contributor would be that the GC doesn't need to kick in until later, while ARC is adding its overhead all the time.

Edit: apparently, this isn't common knowledge.

They’re required to have the same value upon dereference; there is no restrictions prior to this as assembly doesn’t care what a register is. The bits are appropriately masked off when necessary prior to using the pointer.
"If Starship works out," I said. Starship reuses the second stage.
Easy for deploying different stages with different build parameters, less of a PITA than the AWS S3 + cloudfront distributions. It's annoying though that we've basically been forced to use their DNS solution since we need custom URLs for branch deploys.

I didn't have any issues with buy-in since we were only a few people at the time and basically got the ok as long as there wasn't any downtime in the transition (which there wasn't).
I'm so sick and tired of seeing spinners that keep spinning, even after the process failed; this is an epidemic in web apps, where failures are often a bit too graceful and application state is silently corrupted.
I have rebooted my (windows) PC every day for the last year. I only reboot my phone when it has a system update.

Sounds like just another problem with the Big Sur update for MacOS.
That's nice. But what does CPU/GPU horse power have to do with memory?

If I want to spin up a bunch of VMs to do pre-commit test builds in clean environments, and each need RAM for the OS and user land, being able to edit a lot of raw video does nothing for me. I'm generally fine running macOS (or Linux), but sometimes I need to boot up Windows in a VM for specialized apps: how do I assign >16GB of memory to it if I only have 8-16GB of RAM? Even with fast storage I'm enamoured that I may need swap.
It’s annoying. Kill the Finder and you can reboot, or turn of wifi on the phone.
As mentioned in another subthread, I mis-skimmed the article and thought it was about his own personal CCW licensing, rather than being something Apple was actively involved in.

> Apple's HCI research showed that people "lose" the time it takes to hunt and acquire the keyboard shortcuts.

This may be the case for "casual" computer users, but not for "power" users.
The bits Apple uses are not “don’t cares” this time; they’re masked off before the pointer is used.
Only specifically his youtube channel. Ofc, Kenji was well known even before this. Chinese cooking demystified or babash are better examples.

I wonder what was tried? Disable bluetooth and wifi on the computer? Put the phone into airplane mode? `sudo reboot` from the terminal?
Startups and Uncertainty (2019)
A12Z has the necessary TSO hardware stuff, the remainder is that it is fairly fast itself and Apple did a good job in the Rosetta translator.
Given its infinitesimally small capacity relative to the major backbones (4,991 terabits per second) no.
I’m not denying that Apple has better ARC performance. It’s that I don’t understand how an application would use less memory on ARM than x86. I’d expect the ARM code to run faster (as a result of being able to do atomic operations faster), but I don’t see how that translates to less memory usage
Downvotes are "ignore the troll". Their whole purpose is to hide comments that don't substantively contribute to the discussion.

Replies are (or at least can be) "dogpile on them until they realize they're wrong".
I think you're imagining that the rocket is fired directly vertically and peaks at some altitude, when the rocket ignite to "make it go fast". Instead, imagine the flings the rocket at a 45 degree angle so when it peaks in altitude it's already going quite fast. As other commentators in this thread point out, it's really an alternative for the primary stage rocket booster part, which doesn't just shoot a rocket straight up vertically.
4 V's of Good Data Engineering
There's a spectrum of roles. The role you describe is that of a trader at the extreme end (little coding ability required, manual monitoring of strategies/opportunities). But there are many traders who spend a majority of their time doing data analysis and programming while monitoring mostly automated strategies out of the corner of their eye. There are researchers who focus purely on statistics and ML projects. Some even get to spend a good portion of their time reading papers, expanding their knowledge and doing basic research, not just applying their existing knowledge to financial datasets. There are also Devs. Some work on ultra low latency systems (though this is not Jane Streets expertise). Some work on Jane Street's OCaml compiler.

Apart from the OCaml compiler, everything else is fairly typical of the spectrum of roles you can find at the very large high frequency firms. And mid-sized firms are similar yet again, minus the basic research. I would say it is definitely worth working in this industry if anything above sounds interesting to you.
But if the phone is syncing do you really want to do that? You wouldn't reboot during a disk format for example, or other critical task.

That said, the idea that your phone is now a "critical task" is none too heartening.
Agree strongly with voting for individual ideas/policies rather than parties. I don’t like to think about the human years devoted to out-manoeuvring another party over working towards positive outcomes.

I’d appreciate anyone that could point me in the direction of this being done in the past or ideas about how it could be implemented.
Sorry about that. I thought pictures were good enough for a hardware product

Yes, you can call something X all you like. That does not mean the law (or specifically, the courts) will actually treat it as X.

DC specifically changed the terminology of its "royalty" payments because they were not actually royalties, but calling them royalties was causing headaches for its legal dept with respect to licensing, because the existence of "royalty" payments implied that DC was not the owner of the IP, and thus that they had to seek additional licenses from the actual owners of the IP.)

And that is why Marvel switched away from calling them royalties a long time ago.

Copyright law has a special regime for enforcement. I.e., statutory damages, etc. It applies in addition to relief available under contract law. However, for "royalty" payments that aren't actually royalties, only contract law remedies are available.

1. Build a large superconducting flywheel energy storage system like they have in Japan, right under the launch centrifuge.

2. Use it continually to arbitrage energy prices. Buy low sell high.

3. At launch time divert the rotational energy to the centrifuge. (I'd like to see that clutch.)

4. Profit
I’m guessing swapping happens quicker, perhaps due to the unified memory architecture. With quicker swapping you’d be less likely to notice a delay.

That said I’d still be very hesitant buying a 8 GB M1 Mac. When my iMac only had 8 GB it was a real pain to use. Increasing my iMac’s memory to 24 GB made it usable.
Reminds me of Lamport's quip:

A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable.

https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/distributed-system.tx...

Although sure you know about your phone, but I still find the failure mode funny (and I've experienced similar things)

The core problem seems to be synchronization of (persistent) state, which Lamport knows something about ...

“But these high, rocky outcroppings are home to a plant that may soon play as central a role in the country’s drug economy as the infamous opium poppy.

Rehman...searching for Ephedra sinica, a hardy, sage-colored shrub that grows abundantly across central and northern Afghanistan.”

In Chinese medicine Ephedra sinica is known as Ma Huang, part of Chinese medicine for 2000 years.

“Ma huang is one of the earliest and best known drugs of Chinese traditional medicine, referenced in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, one of the foundation books of Chinese medicine (about 100 AD). It was and still is used to induce perspiration and to treat the symptoms of bronchial asthma, colds, and influenza.“

https://www.drugs.com/npc/ma-huang.html

Plants aren’t banned in US or China. Ephedra extracts banned in US since 2006. Unlikely Afghanistan is going to go great guns on this soon.

While I understand what you're getting it, typically your first gun isn't when the crisis occurs. Especially here unfortunately. Plus a lot of gun culture is tied to hunting culture.

I actually gave a gun to the police once cause I didn't want a rifle anymore (it was just a cheap mosin) and I could tell the cop was holding back a grin of disbelief the entire time. $5 bucks says it's in his gun locker right now at home.
I've read here and there, don't know how credible it is, that Apple uses emojis as a carrot to encourage people to take the update.

It is a cheap and immediately gratifying feature whereas users might not care about or understand the more substantive parts of an update.

The problem with AJAX spinners is that they’re often just GIFs or CSS animations that will keep on playing even if “the system has hung” (e.g. the AJAX request failed and there’s no client-side error handling logic, no retry, no error display, and no UI cleanup) so in that respect the situation now is worse than it was before.
Yes, I understand they are different models, but informally both are referred to as Cubes (obviously due to the shape of the case.) In fact, if you look on ebay, the first "NeXT Cube" I found was actually a "NeXT Computer." I believe they may both actually have the same N1000 model number, despite CPU differences.
It makes sense to me since TypeScript compiles but otherwise does not execute. If you want faster execution speed don’t do ridiculous things in your JavaScript.

A personal app I am working on is about 2mb of TypeScript now and takes about 6.5s to compile on my laptop.
The bazaar model has a lot of problems. Its often much less efficient than 3 smart people working the cathedral.
GUIs are in a state of hysteresis at this point. A little more saturation in the UI elements, a little more purple on the background next release and more monochrome and more blue the release after.

I’m saying this like an old man (even though I’m not even close), but we’ve seen it before and we’ll see it again.
Yeah, I do remember.

Big Sur is such a joke of an update, it's almost farcical. Basic functionality doesn't work, and yet again, core functionality has increased its memory usage by >15%.

I have the highest spec'ed 16 inch macbook pro, and while running some Docker containers and some data ingestion scripts, my battery is drained (while plugged in!) to 5%.

I will never buy another Apple computer again. I have work to do.
Generally people who are going to make rash decisions and plan them out acquire firearms in any way their allowed. If it means waiting a day, they will do it. Just because some arbitrary law exists doesn't mean it'll delay or prevent the inevitable. With suicidal and depressive types as well. They aren't like homer simpson purchasing a firearm thinking "aww, I'm suicidal now!" They're pretty much at the breaking point if that happens and literally nothing short of imprisonment can stop them.
Do you really want those 95 other women? If you ended up out with one of those other girls and a goth girl swipes back and you miss that opportunity are you still happy. Plus you waste an evening to beef up your goth profile to attract all 5. You could be using the time to research what areas have more goths and move.

If you want any girl, swipe everyone. In that case why not use the money you were planning on impressing this girl and just hire a girl for the evening. Your odds/costs will be less and relationship prospects about the same.

Let's say you swipe, find success and meet this person.
Getting to that hook up finish will take much more legwork compared to if you are prequalified.

For job prospectives I find if I do that (apply to every job) you end up wasting a lot of time and energy in low chance opportunities or high chance but low quality opportunities. It worked when I first started but didn't work out so well after 15 years of experience.
I don’t think we can really make this claim. Life which forms around less stable stars may adapt if there is enough time for them to do so. It’s also important to note the sun is not the mean star. The vast majority of stars are red dwarves which, while more variable, are much longer lived.
There are only so many states to operate in.
Except the one case where you have a slow approach diffused over a whole application, when all of the code needs an optimization.

That case is easy to hit with compilers or annotation and such features. It is still one thing to optimize but impact is typically big.
All my PCs run open source OSs and this really isn’t true. The GNU/Linux landscape has changed wildly in the last 5 or so years. You’re only slightly less beholden to the people that maintain your OS than with proprietary systems because you still have to update eventually. A lot of BSDs are still roughly the same but being OSS doesn’t necessarily imply you’re free of change.

Facebook's tendency to display content which reflect more extreme versions of the opinions that the user already has is probably a sizeable force behind our societies growing division. They know this, but they also know that type of content stops people from clicking off their site and drives up engagement, giving them more opportunities to advertise to you. They are a net negative to society.
If someone is going to throw 10gbit ddos at your home ip - how few firewall rules are going to help?

I am not very well versed in ddos, but that's just traffic generated from thousands of bots. Its still takes bandwidth and will literally overload your link.

I assume AWS has multiple upstream links where the traffic is coming via multiple links and its easier for them to handle than for someone with one or few upstream links.
Um, this is a feature not a bug.

If you're syncing with an iOS device in Finder, well cancel that first.

Lots of applications can prevent rebooting to avoid data loss.

Again, this is a GOOD thing. Sheesh.

Just a heads up the term meritocracy was actually coined to describe an impossibility, since all judgement of worth in society is subjective.

Even if you pick an objective metric, it was decided upon subjectively and with bias.

I can appreciate wanting society to be more egalitarian, but perhaps you’re in search of another word.
Wait, people still sync their phones? I thought that went away about 5 years ago... At least that’s the last time I or any of the people I ‘friend support’ for did so...
> After feedback from design we hard-coded it to a steadily increasing bar regardless of actual progress, and the complaints all stopped immediately.

This seems like a surefire way to end up with a progress bar at 8675309%, or a progress bar that gets to 100% and then sits there waiting for reality to catch up. And I say this from experience, having seen both of these failure cases numerous times in the wild.

If users are frequently reporting that the application's getting stuck at a particular percent, then - to me at least - that's valuable information for whether I should consider doing some optimization to speed up whatever step in the process corresponds with that progress percentage, or to break down that step further into smaller steps to keep things moving, or both.

On my personal project Rails' magic was okay because it simple. However, in my work I have found Rails projects written by really knowledgable Ruby users to be difficult to understand. More than likely it tends to be overuse of dynamic meta-programming.

I have worked in several languages sever side and I have never had a problem jumping into a codebase until I had a Ruby project to join.
I mean why should most users even care about the details of any update? It’s a box that runs the software they actually care about. It’s primary purpose is to get out of your way and feel invisible. I feel like people on HN overestimate how much people care about operating systems.
Perhaps not coincidentally, initial attraction is also a poor predictor of long-term relationship success, which most people want eventually.
However, Snow Leopard was great software.
They're not just bad at software, they're bad and abuse their users by disallowing using anything else.

Most people probably wouldn't care if Apple at least did a decent job.

Can you give some actual specific examples though?

Claiming that "Linux isn't welcome on Macs" suggests that Apple made deliberate decisions to prevent something. A far more likely scenario to me, is that they just don't even consider it at all.

Apple makes money selling hardware, and services, and writes/distributes software to facilitate those two things.
He said he couldn't cancel. The article is not that long, it's not hard to find.

It's my fucking computer. If I want it to reboot, it should fucking reboot. If I want it to shut down, it should fucking shut down.

A good thing would be including a force restart button.

Also if you read the article, they said they couldn't figure out a way to stop the sync other then rebooting their phone, which likely has a higher chance of causing dataloss.
