> Refcounted refs have copy and destruct semantics

You're talking accross threads I believe. But accros scopes they are passed by reference I believe.
The answer is surprising only if you believe the specified rule can be any rule. But really, the specified rule may have enough complexity in it that makes it difficult to intuitively reason about the problem at all, at which point it isn't really a counter-intuitive result, merely a counter-intuitive rule.
Lots of dams are flood control projects that also produce electricity.
I am by no means qualified to judge physics papers of any kind so take this with a grain of salt, but the invocation of Maxwell's Demon (a thought-experiment method of violating the 2nd law of thermodynamics) suggests it's presenting a pretty fringe idea I think. However, this supposedly happened prior to recombination and, if you can imagine it, I'm even less qualified to guess at the veracity of claims about that epoch.
Here is my take on this. This was a fun project: https://gist.github.com/damiankao/81b6ebd123b9ccf98e0e47f1dd...

This is a naive probabilistic method that calculates probabilities of base change according to base position in codon, base, and amino acid of codon. Then it applies the probability to the viral sequence to generate a vaccine sequence.

The sequence generation is not deterministic. It appears to generate ~87% matching vaccine sequence most of the time.

*edit

I just realized the blog post was calculating % matching of codons, not the base-pair sequences. In which case, my method is ~66% matching.
Sounds like a fantastic idea, especially if I can use it to save video and images from websites too.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me though -- I get "Unchecked runtime.lastError: Native host has exited."

Most importantly, how do you check the binary you are running is actually built from the source code the vendor says it is if the source is not open ?

They might sincerely thing so, not knowing they were targeted and now all the binaries they ship are also containing a payload added by the attacker.

With open source software and especially the Linux distro model where one set of people writes the software and another buikds it from source and integrates it is much harder if not impossible to pull off such an attack affecting all users of a piece of software.
Indeed. This is why hydro shouldn't be considered green energy. (That, and the methane reduced when hundreds or thousands of hectares of living, breathing land are flooded and decompose in an anoxic environment.)
I wonder if this correlates with consuming less advertising. People who don't watch many ads may not buy mainstream products.
The problem is that if you sample a mathematical waveform such as a sawtooth wave, it contains infinitely high frequencies, so the act of sampling creates aliasing.

There are a lot of solutions to this in the literature, such as wavetables that are band-limited, but for simple virtual analog synthesizers, there's a technique that is close to magic in its simplicity and quality: PolyBLEP. Check it out.
I work in the gas industry. We'll send Hydrogen down the same pipes we currently use for natural gas.

We've solved large scale transmission of gases. Hydrogen has the pesky problem of embrittling metals, but this can be accounted for and monitored. Compressor stations will have to change and so on...

Basically it can be done and natural gas asset owners are VERY interested in being relevant in the future as we transition away from carbon emitting fuels.
We can detect them spread out over an area, as shown in the article, not just coming from a single point each. If they were point-like sources, we would see them as a dot in the radio frequency data, like a distant star visually.

Can’t argue. I love playing a Minilogue or an Electribe or a Roland JD-Xi. They are all superb instruments for jamming. And you are so right, host environments can be frustratingly buggy. On the other hand, the Korg Gadgets on iOS are pretty damn reliable.

My only argument is that with software versions you’re much more likely to get upgrades when bugs occur. And I personally will simply no longer buy a Korg flagship because of my troubles.
I wasn’t really talking about direct government roles when I made that comment. I was more talking about what the government shells out to contractors for programming jobs which as many have pointed out is the vast majority of programmers that get hired to do work for the government.

And admittedly, it is a little hyperbolic. I don’t have actual data to directly back it up beyond some research I did earlier this year. But FAANG really represents the most you could get paid as a software engineer and it’s pretty clear to me that these salaries are at least average/middle of the road. There isn’t some widespread low pay issue for software engineers doing this kind of work.
The Modern MIC might be a new concept for Americans, but some of the largest and most successful European companies have a history of starting off for conducting trade but rapidly engaging in warfare and everything that comes with that (eg the East India Company, which literally collected Tax from lands larger than England at certain times in its life). Modern engineering practice could not have existed without the funding from Warring nations, and so on. The Industrial Revolutions and many of the institutions and professions that we take for granted today could not have been possible if Nations didn’t spend so much resources making war on each other. It’s sobering but a fascinating perspective of human progress.
Because there’s so much friction to do anything in Jira. It’s horrible for any kind of planning or really anything that’s not set in stone. I just keep a text editor with my current and next tasks and then update jira at the end of day based on it.
I've noticed this regarding companies I've worked at too. When it involves any knowledge that wouldn't be available to the public, people on HN spout plausible-sounding theories as though they're fact, but they actually have no basis in reality. "Turned out Company X was having trouble monetizing Feature Y so they've decided to pivot and adopt a new marketing strategy which is why customer support now takes so long to respond if you're not on an enterprise tier." And for other random companies that stuff sounds perfectly plausible, but every time I've been in a position to fact-check against deep personal knowledge of the company in question, it's been total BS. Just wild speculation presented with an air of authority.
Yes and No - you can read up papers and probably get the nanoparticles with a budget of couple ten thousand if you really need to (you probably need to get the mRNA synthesized though). Issue is to get it clinical grade. Without clinical grade it's very high probability you'll get very sick or even kill yourself due to contaminants. Anything you inject instead of ingest has to have levels of purity that are very annoying to follow to say the leasr. Small batch
clinicall grade formulations like these can cost hundreds of thousands PER dose, last I heard. But I might be outdated in that info.
Companies like Microsoft and Cisco have made their source code available to governments for years, for whatever that is worth. The US government has full access to all the MS source code.
Trump has the power to redo the elections through his 2018 order, plus various other laws.

(You don't know about that because the MSM is concealing it from the public.)

Depends on the particular system you’re using. Some might allow it, or you could do it with a script if you really wanted to.
Can you please please PLEASE support Brady printers? They're specialised label printers used in the laboratories. The software they use called LabelMark is no longer supported except lots of labs still have label stocks. So they're stuck used the pos software. To make matters worse its not supported on win10.

I'm happy to be your lab rat and customer for life because we are never going to stop using the printers. I've completed the survey on your site. Shoot me an email if you want any more details.

Btw every lab I've been in has used Brady printer

Intimations: Six Essays
> "Profit" is not a defined term. It's shorthand for something else, usually gross profit, operating profit, or net income.

And in this case, we are discussing profit as is relevant to the tax code. There is no need to be adversarial considering you've just said you agree with me.

> No, they weren't.

Yes, they were.

> Most of Amazon's shares are not held by employees.

This is irrelevant as capital gains are necessarily taxed.

> which is that Amazon (taken either as an entity or as its owners, most of whom are not employees) is paying close to 0% taxes. Period. That's it.

And this is just wrong.

> That's outside the scope of the argument.

It appears it would be most accurate to say that your argument hinges on a particular narrow definition of terms and scope of analysis.

I don't think we need to discuss this further. Your point has been made, such that it is.

Bought it on Kindle based on the strength of the passages she quotes in the article. It is not as strong as I hoped, but it’s definitely entertaining. She verbizes nouns more than I would like, and doesn’t really use guy slang the way guys do. I feel a little condescended to in the translation, but it’s still good strong reading. Easily worth $10, that’s for sure.
> Back I come, for that reason, to hwæt. It’s been translated many ways. “Listen.” “Hark.” “Lo.” Seamus Heaney translated it as “So,” an attention-getting intonation, taken from the memory of his Irish uncle telling tales at the table. I come equipped with my own memories of sitting at the bar’s end listening to men navigate darts, trivia, and women, and so, in this book, I translate it as “Bro.”

That's pretty funny. I'm surprised that she modernized the language and avoided preserving the original meter, but still kept the line-oriented format instead of using regular paragraphs.
Mechanical in the earliest units.
> But their biggest bottleneck is time and developers, not money.

I'd -gladly- write games (and software) for the switch if it was a more accessible platform to develop for.

Developing software for Nintendos previous platforms was difficult for anyone who didnt have 'connections' in the industry.
The full response here requires a deep dive into the immune system and self tolerance but basically, yeah, the immune system learns how to know what is ‘self’ and what is ‘else’. And this is specific to a person’s actual body (ie the reason someone develops organ rejection in the event of a transplant or can develop graft vs host disease in the event of a stem cell transplant (new immune system attacks body bc it isn’t ‘self’).

It’s really an amazing system
>Any fork without miners is instantly unable to transact, making the coins useless and therefore worthless.

The incentive structure discourages this. If half the hash power goes off to mine Bitcoin Infinite (the fork with uncapped Bitcoin generation), then mining the original Bitcoin would be twice as lucrative because there's half the competition. This gets better the more miners leave. If 95% of miners leave for Bitcoin Infinite, then mining Bitcoin becomes 20x more lucrative. There's the matter of the difficulty adjustment, but that has been historically dealt with using emergency difficulty adjustments.

Meanwhile, the miners who are mining the fork have real expenses (electricity, equipment), which need to be paid, and if there isn't sufficient demand for their Bitcoin Infinite coins, they'll quickly go bankrupt. Some napkin math:

* If the hash and economic power are both split 50-50, then there will be little impact in profitability, but also little impact on Bitcoin

* If 90% of the mining power goes to Bitcoin Infinite and only 25% of the economic power follows them, then the miners can expect to see a 72% drop in revenue. If their original profit margins were 20%, they can expect their profit margins to drop to -66%. If we use the price/generation rate of just prior to the last halving (May 2020), then that would represent a loss of $9.9M per day (not including opportunity costs/lost profits).
Yea, how long was OpenSSL’s heartbleed an issue? And that was open source that was supposed to have millions of eyeballs on it. I agree, I don’t really buy that MS rewriting everything hourly and there is nothing to get from source.

Chickering’s translation is very good if you’re into kennings and prosodic structure. Despite how popular Heaney’s is, it’s not for me.

roughly speaking if you like the fansubs that lean towards the literal and away from the trying to help, that’s the translation for you.

It was a long time until i really realized why Beowulf is so profoundly tragic. If this translation preserves that, then that sounds good to me.
You are all missing the the trend over the last 7 years for bitcoin is to create a digital asset that is a store of wealth. To say bitcoin is a payments system in the sense of cash is to miss the executed tech roadmap where cheap one off transactions is a secondary concern (not bitcoin core's). Listen Saylor talk about MicroStrategy's investment in bitcoin. He is very clear that is a store of wealth and appreciating asset on the books, not a payment rail for MicroStrategy subscription base.
This always feel like political theater. This is so far down the road that we don't even know if gas powered vehicles would be in wide-spread use in the US at that time. And how much do you want to bet that if they are, this date will just be pushed back.

And they are only banning new car sales of gas powered vehicles, so you could go to the next state to get a gas car, or buy a used car.
I would guess because in slack the history can change when irc is basically a read only log. Slack has threads, edits, deletes and emojis etc. that will change the history so you can’t cache it

FANG pays 450-550 to someone with 10 yoe. GS-15, on the other hand, requires a PhD and even if it's reachable within 10 years, pays only 180.

You only need enough jurisdictions onboard to push manufacturers to only build EVs. Once they’ve made the capital investments, they’re not going back. That’s the goal: to get us across the Rubicon to where the only way forward is EVs, and to make it untenable to revert to building new combustion vehicles.

Many more states and countries still needed to make these declarations, but you don’t need all of them, just enough.

Keep an eye out for more announcements from other states in the near future.
2035 woopdidoo. Like 6 or 7 different governments will have come and gone by then, this is basically like promising a unicorn that someone else has to find. How many of these laws will just be revoked or softened the year they're supposed to take effect?

If we want to take action on this we really need to be acting on much shorter time horizons that actually create any accountability at all.
According to Wikipedia the issue with the Matilija Dam is that there is so much sediment built up behind it that they can't figure out how to remove the dam without causing a disaster.

Mannig and Bradley's book isn't just a buzzy blog post / porpaganada, it's a well researched and nuanced piece of academic literature.

It also resonates with our modern conception of how the state and power centers "repurpose" legitimate mechanisms of dissent and discourse for their own ends.

For example, the "respectability politics" of the civil rights era gave way to the toxic myths of the "welfare queen" and "Ebonics" - if we can demonstrate you're not respectable, we can deny your rights.

If you've heard about "the War on Christmas" or "the most discriminated against people in America are straight white men", then you know there absolutely is power in declaring yourself a victim in 21st century America.

This is a brilliant piece of work. As someone who has thousands of tabs open, I've always wanted to "close all tabs with a single command", or view all the open tabs and mass select them and close, for years. Otherwise, going through them one by one and deleting takes forever. Now somebody make a vim pluggin so I can delete tabs by visual selecting a bunch of them and typing "d".
Really insightful, glad to hear it (and am also at capacity at the moment but should you ever need HTML/CSS/JS gamedev freelancer feel free to reach out)

Yet I wish to press once more, the main worry I have I wish to quelle if you care to elaborate on is regarding daily life. Maybe I'll just ask specifics - like is Tokyo morning, lunch hour and 4 to 6pm rush hour still packed trains? Are the streets less busy? Is the happy go lucky-ness lost now that everyone is wearing masks all the time?
What is your background and what is your goal for learning the methods?

This is somewhat long and there is a disclaimer towards the end, but hopefully some of this is helpful.

Working through a book can mean reading what’s on the pages and being able to recall names of techniques or methods. Or using pen and paper to work through the examples and be able to solve problems. This could even be deriving what’s in the book from first principles.

This will depend on what you want to do with the material. If you want to apply it using pre-made R packages, you probably don’t need to recreate everything from scratch and you can probably get away with ISL. If you want to be creating new methods or going beyond pre-made R packages, then you probably need to work up to ESL and solve things from first principles.

ISL is used in an undergrad elective course at my uni. The prerequisite stat material covers Devore probability and stats for engineers and intro to linear regression by Douglas Montgomery. ISL would be a third course in stats (see the bottom for the math background 4 courses). There are entire courses dedicated to the topics in ISL, so I really think ISL is most useful to bring previously studied topics together.

ESL is used in a second year MSc course. This assumes knowledge of mathematical statistics (Casella and Berger Statistical Inference + Wasserman All of Statistics), computational statistics (topics: bootstrap, MCMC, EM algorithm, numerical analysis methods, optimization, and matrix decomposition) and courses on linear regression and the general linear model. So it’s a “capstone” of sorts that ties all of the material together. I haven’t taken any of these courses, so I can’t comment on what’s really necessary.

Disclaimers follow: As others have mentioned someone’s background and preparation may be different and more advanced than what is outlined. Above I outlined the course sequences for ISL and ESL at my uni. We do not require a course on real analysis and we do not do measure theoretic probability (PhDs do but ESL is covered in the MSc that is required for PhD admissions). Of course not every chapter in a textbook is covered in each course and I’m sure there is some sort of minimal coverage of topics that will allow you to get to ISL or ESL in a more efficient way. What that is, I am unable to comment on.

Yes there are people admitted to the MSc program without a stats BSc degree. Examples are physics, math, and computer science majors from what I have seen. Usually they have to make up missing BSc math stats courses.

Undergrad level math background assumes calculus to include multi variable calculus (Stewart Calculus omitting the chapters on vector calculus). Partial derivatives, Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals. Also linear algebra, matrix multiplications, determinants, eigenvalues, trace (linear algebra and its applications by Lay).
Right. But I'm not just moving essential to a different place. I am describing how complexity is made essential or accidental based on where you are in the stack. It actually unifies your theory and Brooks, and I don't what others have stated as arguments against it.

As an accountant staring at a computer, everything about the computer is accidental. Saying simply that the computer is accidental regardless of context is not very useful apart from for refuting Brooks.
Sigh, it just takes us sooo long to do things like this, and even then it's half measures.

It's not the best or most useful example, but some cities in Asia/China almost overnight banned not only the sale but operation of gas powered mopeds/motorcycles within city limits. And all we can do is ask people nicely to stop buying gas powered cars, and wait 15 years for the fleet half-life to happen.

Yes, yes, authoritarian regimes can do lots of things, and bad things, etc. But they seem better at addressing a low level growing problem that no individual has the will to change.

Do you remember when the HD tv transition happened in the USA and how long that took? Germany turned it off with ~1 year of notice -- the logic was "everyone waits until the last minute anyway, so let's just do it now". Sigh.
