Jesus, what was the phrase you used? "Straight to ideological slander"?

> I'm super behind being sensitive, but if you're six inches taller than the others, have a beard, or breasts, etc, those are sex linked traits.

So if you were talking to me and saw someone who looks like Blair White across the room, and wanted to single that person out, do you think you'd spot that person's biological sex and say "him over there" to me rather than "her over there"?
This article doesn’t show that the total revenue for the cul de sac is less than the total expenditures for the households that live there.

Instead, it shows they pay less in money earmarked for roads than is spent on them.

In other news, the elderly’s ambulance fees don’t come close to covering their use of emergency medical services.

People require different services during different phases of their lives.

Also, income taxes exist.
Most likely. Places with very permissive zoning tend to have a wide range of housing and business types, and with increased supply the cost of living decreases, which supports entrepreneurship and social mobility.

It is not a magic bullet, though. There still needs to be enough base industry to justify a place existing. There also needs to be reasonably good utilities, public services, low crime etc. Zoning is only one piece of the economic development puzzle.
A cul-de-sac seems like overkill for that. We had all that growing up with just a regular suburb.

I live in a city now and while my relationship to the community is fairly transient (and unfortunately gentrifying), lots of people still have community BBQs and kids still learn to ride bikes.
Because who else is going to give away phone numbers with unlimited incoming AND outgoing texting and US calls?
It is of course part of The Internet, and is a testbed for new internet protocols.

And obscure enough that you already knew that :-)
Sometimes HOAs basically account for that. New streets in some cities and towns are made responsible for their roads, culverts, sewer, etc. HOAs can be good all the way down to horrific, sure, but when they’re good things typically get addressed quicker than they would waiting for the municipality to get around to it.
A third way to make a low density neighborhood solvent is to decrease the cost of the infrastructure. We live in a low density neighborhood with right-of-ways along property lines, but no sidewalks, curbs, or below-ground storm drains. The roads are designed to discourage high speeds, and it's a pleasant walking environment, so the non-vehicular traffic along the roadside is higher than most suburban neighborhoods.
Consoles are already like this. The PS4, for instance, had a unified memory access between it's GPU/CPU, and custom chips silicon were basically the norm for consoles PS3 and earlier across all manufacturers. The PS5 supports custom silicon to get insane SSD streaming straight to memory to have almost instantaneous download times. In fact, older Apples, the Amiga etc. from the 80s were all powered custom silicon. Apple is taking this trope from the console world, and using it to disruptive effect in the modern PC.
I think the M1 chip finally proves the inherent design superiority of RISC over CISC. For years, Intel stayed ahead of all other competitors by having the best process, clockspeeds, and the most advanced out-of-order execution. By internally decoding CISC to RISC, Intel could feed a large number of execution ports to extract maximum ILP. They had to spend gobs of silicon for that: complex decoding, made worse by the legacy of x86's encodings, complex branch prediction, and all that OOE takes a lot of real estate. They could do that because they were ahead of everyone else in transistor count.

But in the end all of that went bye bye when Intel lost the process edge and therefore lost the transistor count advantage. Now with the 5nm process others can field gobs of transistors and they don't have the x86 frontend millstone around their necks. So ARM64 unlocked a lot of frontend bandwidth to feed even more execution ports. And with the transistor budget so high, 8 massive cores could be put on die.

Now, people have argued for decades that the instruction density of CISC is a major advantage, because that density would make better use of I-cache and bandwidth. But it looks like decode bandwidth is the thing. That, and RISC usually requires aligned instructions, which means that branch density cannot be too high, and branch prediction data structures are simpler and more effective. (Intel still has weird slowdowns if you have too many branches in a cache line).

It seems frontend effects are real.
I totally agree. Depending on which field I'm working on I know right away when to skip DDG entirely. Makes me sad I wish I could skip google but unfortunately there are a lot of topics where DDG misses the mark.

I'm guessing you meant to say logographic languages. We don't yet support tokenization for logographic languages (like Chinese, Japanese, etc) but it's on our medium-term radar: https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/86

The number of new crypto devs is growing for the first time since 2017
Anecdotal, but I don't think I ever programmed in Java before Clojure. I came to Clojure via Ruby, and was deciding between Clojure and SBCL, and Clojure won out. Being hosted on the JVM was part of that: extensive availability of the JVM and interop with existing Java libraries made it easier to get started.
This is so weird to me. I use DDG on my home computer, but Google at work, so I have experience with both.... and they're basically indistinguishable to me.
Airbnb ran huge marketing campaigns against local governments (including in SF) and lobbies, as well. Very aggressive stuff.
I found myself increasingly doing this to the point where I just gave up and submitted myself to Google once more. It’s still king.
Apple has an advantage here because they have both an integrated hardware and software platform they can control. If only Intel did the same they'd be relying on Microsoft to provide a translation layer for their chips and that'd be unlikely unless they paid up and Microsoft dared to stray from its traditional course.
Then why are they being singled out? Plenty of other companies use plastic just as much in their products.
All FPGA synthesis runs for https://webfpga.com are on Arch Linux based containers. There isn't a lot of traffic. We get around 5-10 synthesis runs per day from .edu accounts. It's been reliable, lightweight, and stable.

When developing the platform, we tried Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS, and at the time (about 1.5 years ago), Arch Linux was the most reliable OS for getting the 32-bit deps to work with existing commercial chains, and new toolchain compiles (IceStorm, NextPnr, etc). I think this is because Arch typically includes the development headers by default.

As long as the regression tests continue to pass, we will likely continue to roll with Arch Linux. We only tend to rebuild images once a month or so, since our backend is fairly feature complete already.

--

I think the trick is:

* Use containers, e.g. dockerhub's archlinux

* Assume that you will never be able to run pacman on a live system. Instead, rebuild a new image with a Dockerfile with your new packages -- then deploy that.
Was Jesus disabled? The Pharisees might have thought so, for he rejected their beliefs and tenets. Was Shiva (Adiyogi) disabled? The royal court of Parvati's father (the King) probably thought so. He showed up to his own wedding seemingly drunk and disheveled, probably had not changed his mud colored tunic in years, and did not follow their social graces. Disability is a matter of perspective from society.
Yes -- this is exactly the reason to give it the similar name. (I know you're saying that, but I want to confirm.) It's one in a line of several journals that have undergone similar reconstitution. Compare for instance to AlCo (Algebraic Combinatorics) which was formed primarily by the previous board of Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics, in 2017. AlCo has been successful, as far as I can tell (maybe I'm biased). There is some overlap of boards with this new journal Combinatorial Theory, so they know how to do it by now.

The consonance in the naming conventions alone gives a signal to the community what's up.
Someone should try that in Detroit.
This is an unfortunate paradox of a new search engine: the results suck because no one searches and no one searches because the results suck.

I try to continue to work at it until I get a result I’m looking for in the hopes that it helps improve the search results for myself and others.

I can say that the ddg results today are good enough that I can actually use it as my default, but this was not true several years ago.

Assuming the truth of this, that's exactly the problem. This stuff is something every single person needs to be taught, not just the 1% choosing a history major of the 36% of the people who go to college.
I assume the image at the top means the Supra will be converted to an electric!? I own a 2020 Supra and I've been concerned its value will tank if electric sports cars take over. It's a fantastic car with unbelievable price to performance, but this is clearly on the way out.
Other things helping are forced >=16Kb page sizes, and massive L1 caches (M1 has 4X Zen 3's L1 data cache and 3X the L1 instruction cache; how much of that cache size is enabled by new process node and larger page sizes vs just lack of x86 decode I don't know).
Typesense would indeed be good for a general web page search system, just like Algolia. In fact, even Algolia stores web page data as structured JSON entities.

This was a little bit disappointing for me to be honest, as someone who loves the language and runs Clojure teams. Obviously not aimed at the hardcore Clojure crowd but still I hoped for more on the actual future. There was a mention of more resources with no specifics and reassuring comments on things not fundamentally changing as before [as in earlier announcements].

Things I'd ask:

- What are the new resources (for Clojure? or just Datomic?), how are they being used? Does Nubank have opinions / direction on these resources.

- Has an open sourced Datomic been discussed? It wouldn't seem to be strategic for Nubank and could be a big boost to the Clojure ecosystem. I'd read every line..

- Who owns the Clojure trademarks and IP going forward. Any talk of a Clojure Foundation?

- Alex Miller does an awesome job but boy he has a lot to cover. It suits Rich to have a small team of trustees for core (though boy its got small) but the community stuff could surely be advanced quicker. Old tickets in contrib and key libs etc..

- There was talk a few years ago of facilitating community involvement with a PEP type process, https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/? Any further thoughts?

- Clojurescript has left Core. Is Nubank likely to want to get involved here?

I have no right to these answers, some may be commercially sensitive and of course Clojure doesn't belong to me. However there is no harm in asking when answers to the questions are important to me in my future uses of Clojure. Indeed I think it would be superior - in terms of Clojure's continued acceptance into industry - to know more of it's future direction than has traditionally been the case. Hopefully Nubank provides the confidence needed for this to happen.
I suspect that number varies significantly with climate. Strongtowns is based out of Minnesota, land of snow, studded tires, plows, and temperatures forty below zero.

I really like keyword searches in Firefox's navigation bar. They are like lower latency and faster DDG "bangs". What I found is that most of my searches are better served by direct searches on Wikipedia and Stack Overflow. For Linux and software trouble shooting, using Google is better, but at least there's less "privacy surface area" than doing everything through Google.

There's also so much SEO-spam on Google/Bing that I find it easier to just do site:reddit.com or look up the top rated posts/comments on HN from Algolia. The latter works really well, so thank you all committed HN users! :)

Apple has less technical debt and more aggressively eliminates old technologies.And Apple makes its own laptops and uses its own operating system. This allows Apple to provide relatively more complete support.

1) There’s not a meaningful difference between RISC and CISC on modern architectures. CISC has certain advantages these days because they are compact at encoding memory operations. Intel and AMD crack instructions into operations called micro-ops. There is no meaningful difference between how easy it is to reorder the micro-ops versus RISC ops. CISC or RISC, the internal structures of the processor operate on something quite different than the instruction the instruction as written in memory. (A decoded form.)

2) Reordering is different than pipelining, and CPUs have done both for decades. The difference between the M1 and Intel/AMD is that the M1 is wider in spots and can do much more extensive reordering. The M1 can decode and issue 8 instructions at a time. AMD can do 4 or 8 depending on whether the instruction is coming from memory or a special cache for pre-decoded instructions. The M1 has a reorder buffer of over 600 instructions—meaning it can have 600 instructions waiting for completion at a time (e.g. some executing while others are waiting for data to come back from memory). Intel and AMD’s reorder buffers are half the size.

3) Special instructions and controlling the software interface has little to do with performance on general purpose code.
Everyone knows the evidence and information supporting the raid was nonsense. She refused to bend the knee to a conservative administration while people were dying, and the political machine decided to lash out.
I'm a little confused. It looks like the author compares the average road expenditures to the specific road costs per resident in a cul-de-sac, and finds that cul-de-sac residents require a disproportionate expenditure.

That's kind of obvious. Lower-density residents require more roads.

But "disproportionate" is different from "insolvent". The analysis doesn't close the loop on tax revenues vs. expenditures.
Every major investment bank has an in-house variation of this, commonly called “payoff language” or “cashflow language”.
The code complexity to pipeline everything to be DSP-like to avoid memory latencies is very different. And you can be sure that most developers (particularly non-console developers) aren't thinking about it. Was super impressed with how Naughty Dog was able to use 70% of the SPUs on Uncharted 2 though - which was either at launch or close to launch.

That basically goes for Google's official products as well.

My kid has a park to play in. Cities can and should be livable.

Strongtowns is a advocacy site and I don’t agree with everything. But they make a great point about inequity and hidden costs. In New York, for example, “cities” are responsible for all road maintenance... towns are not, and suburban towns get to have the state and county maintain major roads, as one example, and usually get more state aid dollars. Suburbs tend to drive up sewer and utility costs as well.

On the revenue side, the throwaway development of malls, etc 30 years ago killed urban commercial districts and left us with a bunch of declining junk as these facilities depreciate away.
> I would suggest that it is worth a lot

this is not a particularly scalable advantage. if you plan on reaching every single corner of the global market, what does customer proximity mean? if you have to have an office everywhere you do business in, is it really a tech driven business or are you just doing bespoke sales? what's the cost of every additional dollar of revenue?
> Cul-de-sacs are designed to minimize all three compared to through roads, and thus should have much higher than average life for the broader class of all roads.

On top of that, you might not even care that the cul-de-sac itself is in poor condition. It's usually short enough to the point where driving a bit on a mediocre/poor surface won't really damage a modern car, especially the ever popular crossover suv types.

There are plenty of gravel cul-de-sacs as well which cost peanuts to construct and maintain, compared to traditional high-throughput roads. They also won't damage your car as long as your drive slowly and carefully.
I remember a take-home physics test in high school where there was a pendulum problem and I spent a full day trying to prove that x’’= ax is generally met by a trigonometric function. I eventually gave up, and was very surprised when I got full marks for saying to simply assume it (though the rest of the test suffered by my being stuck for so long). Besides the exponential formulation of sin and cos, I’m honestly not sure if that’s a unique answer to this day. Does anyone know?
I've had a lot of success with selenium-webdriver and Jest as the test runner. Use it with Async/Await, write some custom framework around it for stuff like before/after image capture and upload to s3(or wherever), and Bob's your uncle. ffmpeg can also be used to record the xvfb apparently so I may have a play with adding video capture soon. Debugging in VsCode is nice.

It's a shame 4.0 has been in beta forever and people keep taking from the project and not giving back, and that async stacks got broke(but I created a proxy that creates a nested stack and preserves the original test code call site), but it works very well in general.
I would expect double blind journals require that you have not distributed the preprint publicly.

No, not particularly. Amazon Linux 2 and other enterprise Linux distributions seem similar in that regard.

[downvoters: care to explain what is wrong with asking this question? I’ve received quite a few downvotes since asking this (the points have gone up and down) yet no-one has tried to explain why they object to asking the question. Seems there’s lots of ideological downvoting going on.]

"Disposable plastic is bad" is one of those things "everybody knows", that tends to be just accepted as true.

Are there rigorous arguments for it being bad? The common arguments against them tend to be fairly shallow, IMO.

I've heard that the actual issue is mostly poor waste management and recycling practices in certain countries and on ships, and that landfill isn't really a bad thing.

I'm willing to hear arguments against disposable plastic.
I would call it "different products entirely".

So, how much does YC earn? I guess the 7% must be diluted somehow.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of public servants joining a "movement". They are entrusted to serve the public, not their own political ideals.

Of course everyone comes in with their own philosophy, but it should ultimately be responsive and accountable to what the public wants, even if it goes against the movement.
>Specifically, to deter non-resident access to and traffic, especially high-speed traffic, near them. There are a wide number of reasons, but promoting pedestrian (and particularly child) traffic safety, deterring crime, and reducing noise pollution are among the reasons.

Not building a road would do a much better job of accomplishing these goals. The road is built for the sole purpose of allowing people easy access to their home.

>But are cul-de-sacs assumed to have that average life?

Assume they have double the life, the road taxes still don't come close to paying for it.

Here is my transcript: http://www.hervature.com/Zachary%20Hervieux-Moore%20Transcri...

Look at Fall 2015 where I had 10 courses worth 32 units not counting the project course where the credits are awarded the following semester. call it 35 units. Roughly, a 3 credit course consists of 3 hours of lecture and a 1.5 hour tutorial. The courses I took that have more than 3 credits typically have a lab component that adds an extra hour.

You are correct that I didn't "attend" every single hour of those. But it just further proves my point that just because you're sitting in a room designated in your time table, it doesn't mean that you are inherently working. Instead of going to those classes, I used my time effectively and studied (not necessarily in the classroom) for a normal 8 hour day. When I say useful work, I don't necessarily mean that something is produced. Like you say, sometimes you need to find dead ends before finding the correct path. That's useful. Yes, you can work for 12 hours in one day. It's just not sustainable. A 80 hour work week implies one of two things:

1) You aren't working as much as you think. Go to the gym. Hang out with friends. Enjoy life.

2) You are about to burnout. Stop. Go to the gym. Hang out with friends. Enjoy life.

If you want to keep perpetuating that you need to be in your building for 60-80 hours to be a good grad student, you are directly contributing to the mental health issues seen among grad students.
I like the idea of bulk cooking in theory but I’ve found that in a small apartment kitchen the sweet spot for everything from pots to storage containers is 2-4 portions. Going over that gets awkward in juggling storage containers, excessive cleaning time pretty quickly.
