Well, it's tongue-in-cheek, but more than once I've thought abut the ability to move somewhere without moving there. Like, if I live in Oregon, there's nothing stopping me from going on vacation to another state for months out of the year. So why can't I "move" there without having to physically go there? I think about this in context of the red/blue voting divide. If a couple million people in safe blue states "move" to red states, then the Senate would be more representative of the population. Or even to counties across the same state to break up gerrymandering.

I'm sure it's illegal in a bevy of different ways, though.
Hello. Keeping to ourselves is 1 choice given circumstances or rn. "Nasty thoughts" are (1). point of discussion. 2). Curse language; language you evolve from and comprehend further. 3).

I discovered only about 10 million people in the world are amputees, having recently become interested in biomechatronics. Most of them live in developing countries. I suspect this is the reason for the relative lack of research. There isn't big money in solving the problem although its solution would be immeasurably valuable to those it aids.
Maybe they're different now, with Mary Barra in charge. But previously they would flit from idea to idea, never fully committing. Like the Hy-wire concept. If you look at it's "skateboard" battery design, it's essentially what Tesla did in putting the pack under the floor to lower the center of gravity and give more interior & cargo room. Also - there have been numerous vehicles that they have cancelled in their last year of production (once the bugs were worked out), such as the Fiero.

I expect that if she retires soon, her successor will make a statement such as "We're a car company, not a map company!" and close the project. Which will doom Super-cruise.

If you get a chance, read On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors which tells the tale of GM from the viewpoint of John Z. DeLorean.
Life support. AFAIK we can't keep someone alive in a sealed container for five years, even if we supply as much power as desired.
Musk had a hair transplant, which is quite expensive and a quite involved procedure. The results are also highly dependent on how bald you are, the type of hair you have, and even the doctor who does it. If you accidentally pick a bad doctor your hair transplant can end up looking awful. It also doesn't make your balding stop, so you may continue balding and need another hair transplant in the future. Hair transplants treats the symptom of hair loss but not the problem.

The holy grail would be a pill or lotion you could take and truly stop/reverse hair loss. There are some existing pills (finasteride) and lotions (rogaine) but they don't work for many, and have their own issues as well.
Meetup.com doesn’t solve this? I ask cause I work remote and meetups are basically what I used pre-pandemic.
About a month ago found a stack of MiniDV tapes from about 15 years ago.

It was my own home videos. I wanted to preserve them, so wanted to upload them to Google Photos.

It took me some looking around in eBay to find a camcorder to play these back. When it came home, I realized that I needed a FireWire 400 port to capture full resolution. So more digging around for a FireWire PCI-E card. I was finally able to transcode and upload some 15GB worth of video. It took 3 minutes on my gigabit internet for the upload. About a month for the whole process acquiring the hardware etc.

When I think about these tapes some 50 years from now, it might as well be completely unrecoverable, not because the tapes went bad, but because we have nothing to read them. Makes you wonder about galactic time scales like in Star Trek.
Don't they already? Mac Pros are a thing. They even are rack mountable.
That's assuming a consumer tape drive will cost that much. They'll succeed only if they cost less than $500. Enterprisey stuffs are always costly. Just like consumer grade HDDs vs entrprise HDDs.
Ask HN: Do you track uptime of third party tools?
As a developer it's not uncommon for me to investigate a problem only to discover that it's a transient issue with a third party tool.

Some third party tools have status pages (AWS, Twilio, etc) and others use Twitter. However it's not a habit for me to check these pages before investigating an issue. Many have status notifications via email, slack, etc but I don't necessarily have those open while working out of Gitlab.

So two questions: (1) Is this a big problem for you, and if so (2) How do you work around or solve it?
Check out the "eden alternative". It replaces sterile, medical-like settings with settings more akin to a home. With dogs, cats, birds, etc. Also, they try to integrate kindergarten age kids into the home where possible. It looks amazing.
I feel the opposite about chat-bots. It just adds to the clutter of the website (along with cookie notification, asking for email signup, etc).

If I need help, I'll go specifically to the "contact us" page.
System Architecture – An Introduction
Very true. I feel open-source would be a great fit for a voice assistant
Reddit is stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey with brands trying to advertise their products pretending to be average Joes who just really want to share how awesome X product is. And downvotes/upvotes do nothing to stop it.
I'd pay quite a bit for knees that were as good as in my '20s.
Never understood those kind of "security" questions. Is the site really going to hand out access to my account if that question gets answered correctly?

Also, some sites don't allow you to not set up one, so it's like forcing users to open up a new vector to be hacked.
I feel like the countdown timer should round up, rather than round to the nearest integer. This makes it consistent with an integer stopwatch, which will round down. In my experience, Apple's timer behavior makes me feel like there's a weird half-second delay when starting and stopping the timer.
It's rare to have one function that uses both a lot of integer operations and a lot of fp operations. My understanding is that there are two advantages to having split gp and fp register files: (1) it is advantageous to not have integer/address calculations and fp operations not contend with each other over register file read ports (2) you get twice as many visible (architectural) registers without taking up more bits in the instruction stream.

My understanding is that the designers of both POWER and aarch64 did a bunch of research before settling on 32 for the number of gp registers, and there are some workloads where 32 are really needed, so having a fixed split is suboptimal for some workloads. Aarch64 isn't that old, and I'm not aware of major improvements in compiler register allocation algorithms since it was designed. Are you contending that ARM made a mistake in their analysis when expanding from 16 to 31/32 gp registers for aarch64?

So, my assumptions are (1) optimal split between fp and gp depends on workload (2) splitting them has a cost in die area for low-power implementations and (3) high performance chips can use the register renaming hardware to get the extra register file read ports from split register files and effectively tailor the gp/fp split to the workload. You wouldn't need to make integer-fp forwarding an exception, though the forwarding might have latency similar to an L1 cache read. Presumably, the register renaming hardware would keep a single bit (or small 2-3 bit saturating counter) to keep track of the last usage of each register, so that load instructions were likely to be stored to the optimal register file.

It just seems that if you're going for a brand new green field architecture design, you can get rid of the cost of a split register file for low-power implementations and get all of the benefits of a split register file in high-performance designs that are going to have register renaming hardware anyway.

Maybe I'm missing something with regard to your comment about integer-fp forwarding needing to be an exception instead of incurring slight latency.
We need higher-level, context dependent programming languages. Homotopy type theory promises to be revolutionary, and Jet Brains is working on integrating the theory with their IDE, so you can write any program with well defined inputs I and outputs O and the computer will find all equivalent programs for you. Programmers would no longer need to get lost in the implementation details.
First off, since you’re working in haptics, time to pitch the Haptics Industry Forum!

https://hapticsif.org

It’s a big forum of various companies (mine included) discussing different issues facing haptics companies. Has been around since March 2020, is a really neat place.

As for actuators, it’s either ERMs or incredibly odd things like friction/pressure systems (some with fairly off kinematics, for instance https://patreon.com/tempestvr) and electrostimulation. No LRAs yet, that’s why I’m trying to get to supporting the nintendo joycon and vr controllers, to start thinking about how signal generation should work in that context.

And yeah the top level library is incredibly generic, mostly to just get people using the library at all. I don’t know how long that’ll last, due to the complexity of actuators we’ll be dealing with, but I’ve got some strategies to grow that out a bit. Happy to go into those if you’re interested.
I mean menial in the sense that these jobs don't have pay that reflects their difficulty and importance.

During college I worked on the dock for an LTL trucking company, and it was difficult. The pay was about double minimum wage, but given the difficulty, risk, and importance of what we did, the pay should have been more.
I think one thing worth mentioning is that any hole to the outside of your home is a huge deal from a maintence perspective. Animals try to get in through the exhaust holes, the 'flashing' around them goes bad and lets in air, they clog up with dust and dirt, the louver spring holding them closed ages out and lets cold air in, animals nest in there if the louver or grill breaks or rusts, etc. Oh and if we consider things like air fryers, toaster overs, etc then you potentially have a fire situation with whatever dust or food crumbs that may get stuck in there, a bit like a dryer fire because of lint.

I think no one wants a new hole in their home unless they can't avoid it. Its a hard sell all around I'm afraid. Not to mention the DIY spirit around electric appliances. They are such wonderful marvels because we can just buy them and plug them in! We don't need a credentialed professional running tubing or cutting through our walls to install them. A competitor asking for an exhaust port will simply get eaten up by the one not asking for it.
To be fair, it would be an extremely boring thing to write about without all the misleading hyperbole.
there is also an ethical question of who gets to decide how loans are spent. The traditional ethos of the United States, at least, has been of 'no taxation without representation' - you must be able to have a say in how the money taken away from you is spent. It is, of course, impossible for future generations to go back in time and vote for how the borrowed money they are responsible for is spent.
And the opposite: permanent hair removal. My partner went through a laser treatment for over an year to get about 60-70% reduction in hair growth. It's immensely painful and time taking process that doesn't work for all akin colors and doesn't guarantee a permanent hair removal. With the current pace of medical research I would have imagined a simple cream that you apply on your skin and whoosh all the hair follicles would be permanently dead. But for some reason, it seems like a distant dream.
Plus, your head looks like shit for at least a week, maybe much longer, depending on individual. It's a gamble. And it thins out the hair in the back of your head (known as the "donor area"). That's probably why the back of Trump's head looks dodgy in the wind.

Hair loss is important in the IT field because age is frowned upon in our industry. It directly affects our career.
Can you elaborate what you envision there? For reference, a lambda in C++ might look like this:

auto sqr = [](double val) { return val * val; };

(The lambda expression is technically only the part after the =, but storing it into a variable is common enough).

How would you use decltype here?
To clarify for Rust; Rust statically links other Rust code into your program by default. That's the relevant comparison in my post, because Haskell also links dynamically to glibc by default, but it statically links with other Haskell code. Presumably that's what Blikkentrekker meant.

If you want to have a 100% static executable, that's been possible for a while now: https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/platform-a...
Hard drives have a bad habit of not turning on after being off for a year or two is why.

And yeah, you'd be buying 16x 128GB media in this use case. Not the bottom of the barrel stuff for giving home movies to grandma.
Yeah... not quite. From the article -

"Anger treats its target as someone capable of recognizing that she has done wrong... "

This is true in some cases, but not all. Had a girlfriend once who used anger to get what she wanted. It was like cash to her - a simple means to an end.

When I pushed back it spiraled into abuse. She became ever more hurtful instead of being conciliatory tory. Blew my mind.

I'm firmly in the camp that seeks to eliminate all anger from my life, and avoid it in others. Like the plague.
I'd like regular meetings with one of Clubhouse’s founders and early access to special tools designed just for power users.
> Isn't the best course of action to rewrite popular components in Haskell, and show that its bette

No, the best course of action is to solve problems that haven't been solved, not to do marginal reinventions of the wheel.

A killer solution is definitely a help in getting a language ecosystem to take off, but those are rarely simple reimplementation of an existing tool. Occasionally they are in a recognizable existing category, sometimes they are category-defining.
This is my cue to mention Solar Roadways, which I’ve been a fan of since 2013-14. They would solve or beautify so many existing problems
There's quite a few battery powered LED lights you can stick on the wall. Most of them are meant to go in closets or under cabinets, but there's no reason you couldn't put one next to your bed.
Can we get an edit on the titel?

This article is about an upcoming publication by a team from China and has nothing to do with Google nor it being challenged.
I'm working on something related in VR. I live in Evernote, Anki, and PDFs.
I think a better analogy would be living near an airport like I do. Depending on the day and weather, even my small airport is quite loud and annoying. My neighbor's motorcycle is also louder than the planes, except the occasional military jet, but that noise is far less frequent than the planes. I think drone delivery will mean everyone in cities and suburbs will feel like they live near a small airport on a clear day. I too am not looking forward to the flying drone future. I think we should be working on reducing noise as much as possible, not create more in the name of slightly more convenient consumerism.
This event and the NY Post shaming a sex worker are painting a funny picture of news outlets in my head. Where once it seemed drama and other random internet bs wouldn't even interest a paper, now I see tweets and viral oddities more regularly. Is this purely a result of click-bait/shock news pulling in more readers?
In case it's useful, this one seems to have been built specially for that use case: https://www.zettlr.com/
I think what you describe is captured fairly well by the third "tribe":

> The way people in this camp describe themselves is fundamentally pragmatic. They write software because software is useful to other people [...] I think most professional software engineers are in this tribe

Fwiw, I don't think "tribe" is a good word for what the author describes. Maybe "attitude" or "principle" would be more fitting, albeit less catchy and intriguing.
Or we could be trying to communicate with parrots (and preventing some species of them from going extinct), as suggested in Ted Chiang's short story "The Great Silence".
Moore’s law has ended quite a few years ago - or do you mean it regarding GPUs because I don’t know about that.

But even though parallelism can be increased, the gains from them are limited as per Amdahl.

> I'm not quite ready to allow my cynicism to let me think it is an intentional feature

Hanlon's razor is hinted at in the later discussion, i.e.

"never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence" (at least, both the words incompetence and malice appear under discussion)

But, I prefer to apply a different rule-of-thumb:

"incompetence is strongly equivalent to malice"
For a long time timber (as in, owning a forest and letting people log it occasionally) has been one of the favorites of large endowments and hedge funds.

>No sane person thought it would be a total disruption- that's absurd.

Whether it's absurd, tons of pundits still did tout it to high heavens, big media outlets, tech startup sites, etc. The usual BS propping up they do, like they did for stuff ranging from fuel cells to grid computing and autonomous cars at different times.

"The VR revolution", "The next big thing", "How VR will disrupt everything", "revolutionize the economy", and so on. This started around 2012 and peaked around 2016 or so.

>However you seem like someone who enjoys pretending like VR is a little fad and doesn't offer anything new to the game space- so whatever.

"Offering something new to the game space" is a spectacularly low bar compared to the oversold promise of consumer adoption and applications of VR.

And even at that, VR thus far didn't even make a real dent in the gaming space, now that you've mentioned it. So much for all the 2012-2017 hype of the tech finally being "nailed".

It's doubly funny to me, because I have memories of the first VR fad, in the 90s. At least then besides the media hype, we've also got a few camp movies out of it ("Lawnmower man" and co).
I find your depiction of FP state interesting as I think of it as the opposite. In my practice of FP, it tends to force me to make state explicit and and available. I follow what you’re saying as well with regard to the continuation of the code, but there’s something that feels very distinct between static and runtime state.
> and delete it another way in another place (git rm).

I use `rm` all the time in git repos... Just `git add` when it is time to stage changes.
Or, Egypt could build a pipe between the Mediterranean and the Qattara Depression (~ 100 Km), which is below sea level, so you'd get water in the desert and power as well. (Half jokingly, this probably won't work?)
Not trying to be rude or sarcastic here: what is that command? Certainly in my experience on both macOS and windows, the default operating system GUI mass copy invariably poops out halfway through, with no explanation as to why. Maybe something like this?

rsync --archive --acls --xattrs --checksum --vvv /src /dest
Cryptographic Competitions
The lubricants might settle, causing sticking of various components when you try to power it on after a long time.
Given how much Germany wants NordStream to happen, I don't think this will derail it. I don't think Biden will give a rat's arse about the whole episode. So given those two things, NordStream will happen.
> I think alot of this are symptoms of bad management or inexperienced management dealing with remote work

I agree, but I’d say >95% of management is completely unprepared to deal with remote work right now, and it doesn’t seem like they’re getting much better.
[tales of woe (?) then]

“But one piece of insight stays inside this tale of woe much like grit in an oyster. It's the fact that annoyingly, a large enough proportion also claim to be happier than they were before.”

Annoyingly? The Author is annoyed by other’s happiness.

But, following the Author’s simile, it is at the grit stage, not yet a pearl. After many pixels, the Author finds that it is the “steady feeling of progress” that is at the core of this inexplicable happiness, or is the pearl, or grit, or whatever the Author was trying to say.

Some might say even the hope of progress is enough.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for — Joseph Addison

It might be profitable for the Author to explore the formal discipline of “happiness studies”...journal and everything..

I'm no farmer, but both surface and buried drip irrigation are widely done. So I guess they solved that?
Charles Schwab does this with voice recognition. It certainly works, but I'm guessing its cheaper to use these legacy systems.
Researchers and pharma companies do mine traditional medicine for potential meds. See e.g. phytoalexins. Maybe it could be more widespread, but a lot of traditional remedies just don't hold up to rigorous controls/testing.
It seems like news organizations dislike Apple News for the same reason I like it - they don't get access to their reader. I'm sympathetic to the idea that it would help them make their service better for me, but I also know they would abuse that relationship. I'm happy having Apple in the middle.
What makes you certain any theoretical GUI markup standard would improve on the industry standard of Electron and Chromium wrapped web components? Just need to look at the utility and performance of vscode to see what is currently possible.
Seems like a bit of a reverse Occam's razor to explain that when the timer is at 0.501 it shows 1 and when its 0.499 it shows 0, is due to a fake secondary timer running with a 500ms offset that is rounded down, instead of just saying "the display is rounded to the nearest whole number".
Yup, render has been doing amazing work for years, really helping the industry reform their security practices!
I really wish there was a professional organization or - dare I say it! - a union which represented this point of view of SWE. I like what I do but I hate how much of work and tech culture creeps into your life, as though it's the end all and be all of one's existence. No one expects plumbers, welders, or civil engineers to be making drainage systems in their spare time.
Stow does this, it also has a --dotfiles switch so you can save your files as `dot-vimrc`, `dot-bashrc`, etc... so you don't have a bunch of hidden files in your repo
Right, but when you unlink it from your home directory, the file still exists in the git repo. So there is a manual synchronization that must happen between the two directories.
