I worked at McDonald's in the 80s when they switched over to vegetable oil.

The original beef tallow fryer oil was called Formula 47. It came in boxes as it was solid at room temperature; one box would basically fill an empty fryer.

Whole potatoes were not processed in store at that time. The fries came already cut and frozen, and were cooked frozen. As such, nobody at the store really knew the recipe. You filled a basket with frozen fries, dropped it into the fryer, hit a timer button, and in about 3 or 4 minutes they were done. They were dumped into a holding station and salted with ordinary table salt. They could sit in the holding station for up to 10 minutes before they were supposed to be thrown away.

I did watch a training video about how they were produced, which involved (as I recall) selecting potatoes of a specific size and moisture content specification, cutting, rinsing, blanching, then flash-freezing.

Yeh but what you think I am saying is a married high school educated person make more as a couple than a single unmarried college educated person. Except thats not true. The married college educated man alone makes more than the single unmarried college educated women/man typically.
It does already say that. This is what it says:

Deduplication is the process for removing redundant data at the block level, reducing the total amount of data stored. If a file system has the dedup property enabled, duplicate data blocks are removed synchronously. The result is that only unique data is stored and common components are shared among files.

Deduplicating data is a very resource-intensive operation. It is generally recommended that you have at least 1.25 GiB of RAM per 1 TiB of storage when you enable deduplication. Calculating the exact requirement depends heavily on the type of data stored in the pool.

Enabling deduplication on an improperly-designed system can result in performance issues (slow IO and administrative operations). It can potentially lead to problems importing a pool due to memory exhaustion. Deduplication can consume significant processing power (CPU) and memory as well as generate additional disk IO.

It's a valid complaint.
"RISC CPUs have a choice. So e.g. smaller ARM CPUs don’t use micro-ops at all. But that also means they cannot do things such as OoO."

I don't agree with this. What do uops have anything to do with ooo execution. I can easily make a CPU with no uops doing ooo execution. Unless I'm misunderstanding and the article is just saying smaller cores don't do ooo since they are trying to stay within a certain area/power footprint.

>(0,0,0), A, and B are the three points of a right-triangle.

Your next line suggests you already know this, but just so it's clear it's not, they are three points in an arbitrary triangle. Each vector has a right triangle between the origin and (two of?) it's axis, but I'm not sure that's helpful.

Yeah, I agree in that it feels like you should be able to do this, but I just know that I've been stumped in the past, and can't figure it out now either.
Unfortunately this is the reality of manufacturing easily copied goods. Since it is so difficult to sue a vendor to stop selling your product in China, someone will just copy your design and start selling it for less than you can. Even if you get the item taken off Amazon, they will continue selling wherever else they can unless you invest a ton of money in a legal team to aggressively stop them from importing product to North America.

There are lots of options for graphics in Rust, so it's really just a choice of which graphics API you'd like to use or learn more about.

(full disclosure: I contribute to some of these crates)

For example, there is an implementation of WebGPU (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs) that can run both inside and outside of the browser that has been growing in popularity lately.

There are also bindings for Vulkan (ash, erupt), D3D12 (d3d12-rs), Metal (metal-rs), cross-platform abstractions at various levels (gfx-hal, wgpu), OpenGL (glow, glium), etc.

It's also possible to simply render graphics to an image (a pretty common approach for Raytracing in One Weekend) or blit pixels onto a window surface.
Where do you have frame drop issues on your intel Mac? I have a 2017 15 inch with the best i7 and run a 4K and 1440p monitor with no noticeable issues. Just ordered an M1 Air.
Nice idea. This really looks like a good analysis
Thanks. After reading it, I wonder if the problems he mentions only occur in Go, or if they occur in most languages that are not Rust.
PragmaticPulp doesn't seem to have a grasp on how college systems work. From what I have seen UW, Oregon State, Seattle Colleges, etc were already employing question banks and timed test windows rather than resorting to poorly functioning half measures like Respondus LockDown Browser and its ilk.

Many colleges were already fully capable of distance learning in multiple forms, whether through correspondence courses (what WGU often pitches, complete the project or test and bypass the class, though some of their certificate partners abuse test takers with Respondus or similar) or online learning with systems like Canvas.

Decent colleges offer a mix of these, I can attest to the quality of these programs at Seattle Colleges (specifically North Seattle College & Seattle Central). There is little value in building a panopticon of surveillance in higher education, especially when these divert resources that would otherwise enable students to better master the subject.
So, on a 65mph highway, driving at 66mph for an hour has the same fine as driving at 125mph for one minute? (Minus speedup and slowdown time.) Don't think a linear scale would make sense.

I'm not sure if any scale would make sense, though. The true thing to be fined for should be "driving unsafely", of course, whether that means driving too fast, braking suddenly, swerving, changing lanes without warning, etc. The thing is, the unsafety of all those things depends in very large part on the cars around you and sometimes on the road. (Driving at 100mph on a straight, flat freeway with no cars nearby is safer than weaving between a bunch of 65-70mph cars to maintain a speed of 80mph.)

But it would be really hard to come up with an objective algorithm to calculate how unsafe a rule violation is, and even harder to implement it without a vast array of cameras. So ... they implement an enforceable set of rules even if it's not a good one. (On a related note, it bothers me that driving with more than some arbitrary blood alcohol level is illegal, but driving after e.g. staying awake all night is not, even though the latter is worse[1]. Likely this is partly because checking BAC can be done fairly directly with cheap equipment, while checking how recently someone slept is... I dunno, there might be ways to mostly do that with good equipment, but I assume it's currently impractical.)

[1] "Being awake for at least 24 hours is equal to having a blood alcohol content of 0.10%. This is higher than the legal limit (0.08% BAC) in all states." https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/drowsy_driving.html

> They would also argue that it is unfair to lay out complex rules like this in an opaque way because of the asymmetrical information advantage that a bank has. They wouldn't complain that the rule was enforced per se, they would complain that the rule (which is plainly anti-consumer) exists.

Doesn't that justify my point? If we go back to the speeding example, if the rule was that you can't go over the speed limit (within the capabilities of the measuring device), then everyone would drive a little more slowly. The only reason people 5-10 miles above the speed limit is that 5-10 miles over is generally accepted to be "fine". If anything strict enforcement of speed limits reduce the amount of room for abuse by law enforcement (eg. pulling over someone for going 1 mph over).

Also, at the risk of victim blaming, maybe it isn't such a good idea to have your deposits/withdraws lined up on the same day? Deposits can get delayed/withheld, and withdraws can be moved up unexpectedly. Leaving zero days between a deposit and a withdraw is just asking for trouble. I agree that reordering the transactions from largest to smallest is probably greed motivated, but at the same time expecting it to behave differently is optimistic at best and foolish at worst. It's the equivalent of relying on undefined behavior in programming (eg. assuming that reading one byte after the end of an array wouldn't cause a fault).

If you get on the calls, you’ll find zero hostility across the operating systems devs. The focus is on OpenZFS, with the Linux branch gradually becoming baseline for the FreeBSD work as well. Illumos ( where OpenZFS originated after Illumos was formed post the OpenSolaris shutdown) hasn’t moved to this baseline yet due to the significant OS level differences and instead code is pulled between the “branches” as needed. The collaboration happens via email and regular calls.

Ask HN: Worth pivoting fields in late 20s / early 30s?
I'm debating going back to school to give me the potential to pivot fields if I wish. I'm not talking about switching to something overly idealistic or low paying, but other technical fields which would pay less than software development, but by a normal persons standard would be relatively high paying, but more reliant on credentials. However, I currently hold no undergraduate degree, and best case I could complete and undergrad and potentially a grad degree by my late 20s / early 30s.

But at that point is it worth it? Sure it's not old, but the only technical field you typically see people entering at that age is CS, which ofc, is very different from most. I can't see it being a positive in interviews, etc. being so old for likely entry level positions.
Exactly! Amazon is profiting by having more listings compete which drives down the price. They are pricing their listing way lower than my listing.
Amazon gets money one way or the other. Amazon is the equivalent to a classic Rome market with people shaving coins down and using rigged weighing scales. Or law enforcement and legislators do something about it or our rights as consumers will go back a thousand years.

It is as sad as unsurprising that Amazon promotes this kind of behavior.

I think HN just has more Apple customers who are ok with everything apple does. Except maybe the keyboards on MacBooks.

A lot of negative comments come from people who don't or won't buy Apple products. Which is fine, because there are a lot of positive comments from people that only own Apple devices. There's bullshit everywhere and it helps to know what it smells like.

Ah right. Law of Sines

sin(a) / A = sin(b) / B = sin(c) / C

Apparently, MY trigonometry is awful and needs more practice! Law of sines is basic 'non-right triangles' stuff.

There are three legs: A-0, B-0, and B-A. Hmmm... B-A seems like a vector operation (but its a really easy one, so... probably can be figured out without formally studying linear algebra).. That gives us the "A", "B" and "C" for lengths.

Aaaannnnd I'm stuck again. I have the lengths but I don't have the angles. I only need to find one angle and the other two are solved with law of sines.

Maybe a system of equations at this point (lol, another subject where linear algebra helps). The law of sines gives 3-unknowns, but only 2-equations. So I still need one more constraint before I can math-out a solution.

------

EDIT: Law of sines is fully:

sin(a) / A = sin(b) / B = sin(c) / C = d

Where "d" is the diameter of the circumcircle of the triangle. So the circumcircle's diameter gives us the 3rd equation needed to solve the above system of equations (using non-matrix math).

So yeah, I think its possible. Its just waaayyyy harder to do. I also am handwaving a difficult part. I guess... take the average of 3 points, which would give the center of the circumcircle. Then sqrt(x, y, z) from the center to find the radius, then 2*radius = d.

Wow, that's a lot of work compared to an easy projection matrix...

of course, it depends on 'what' you are perceiving the computation of and if you were trying to stabilize the effects other surrounding (this would be like a pfaffian), just create a equivariant gauge relative to whatever your senses, just pretend to be like a "solenoid". knowing about a renormalization procedure to a set of pre-known "cardinals", like the lithium-defn (adiabatic "approximation") of seconds or unicode, knowing how they cross convolve or cross correlate. Almost all of these is pretty easy to directly infer or calculate in the discrete digital logical world (or reduce it to a branch and cut problem or SAT), but there seem to be limits to MOSfet technology.

You check each one for an error and return a 500 if there's an error. It takes a few more seconds to write but is incredibly easy to read and maintain.

> Their date is based partly on their depictions of now-extinct ice age animals, such as the mastodon, a prehistoric relative of the elephant that hasn’t roamed South America for at least 12,000 years. There are also images of the palaeolama, an extinct camelid, as well as giant sloths and ice age horses.

The article doesn't describe what other means were used, but this is important.

It's also a little disappointing that there are no close-up, high-resolution images of the extinct megafauna being depicted. I imagine the interpretation of what constitutes a Giant Sloth, for example, could be quite subjective.
> There is a real difference, in both actual safety and perceived safety, between divided roads and undivided roads ... Wider lanes seem (and are) safer than narrower lanes.

> [Wiki] Traffic calming can include the following engineering measures ... Narrowing traffic lanes ... Converting one-way streets into two-way streets forces opposing traffic into close proximity, which requires more careful driving

What is happening here? Did the engineers forget that they were supposed to optimize for safety, and instead optimized for getting people to slow down? Does the net effect of this improve safety, or worsen it?

If everyone drives as fast as they can while meeting some perceived safety level, then does that mean these efforts are unlikely to affect safety and merely to slow everyone down? Is the best set of measures the maximally deceptive set, which looks as dangerous as possible while being as safe as possible?

Well, no company is 'worth' its market cap since you can rarely exchange it for that value in total. But of course the only meaningful notion of absolute 'worth' of something like this is the value as determined by the market. Of course it may not have been worth it to you at the marginal clearing price, but that's because the value to you is a function of the valuer and the thing being valued.
