This actually used to be common enough. And the things rebuilt were often ruined. “Leave well enough alone, or at most sensitively restore” is a fairly modern idea.
That's exactly the point: You're not going to go from polystyrene to styrene without inputting energy (like in a fire).

These mealworms are not going to generate it, they can't.
Huh.

Does that also hold for a "uint8_t"--which is often just a renamed unsigned char rather than being a genuine type of its own?
Your comment seems to be in conflict with this source: https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~jan/eniacproj.html
I think there can be prior that a professional looking ad can generate more clicks. Your argument shows a lack of statistical understanding - conditional on this data, the Bayesian approach would be to update the prior (whether A is better, or they’re equally as good) with the data collected. With such a small dataset, you might end up with a belief that there’s a 60% probability that B is better than A, but that’s not significant enough to conclude that B is in fact better than A, as you still have a lot of uncertainty.

With a prior that A is superior, you may still end up believing that A > B after updating, because there’s just so little data.
More important to the consumer, JIT often means waiting weeks for replacement parts to be back-ordered several levels up the chain. It's a mistake to think there are no downsides to this methodology.

Ultimately JIT manufacturing should be seen for what it is: central planning in action. Good for the central planners, certainly, but not for the end users.

I would say that the spirit of the 4th amendment is long dead. I believe the founding fathers would have objected to NSA-scale data collection on citizens more directly if they could have predicted it, and that it goes against the spirit of this amendment. It can do a lot of good potentially, but also a lot of bad. It's too much power.

There are a few other developments I think they would have objected to as well, such as unrestrained campaign finance and the accompanying blatant corruption.

Honestly, I’d say they’d all be amazed that anything was left at all. They’d never have seen a 2000 year old building themselves, unless they’d visited Egypt possibly. And statistically they’d be right; very few structures that old actually survive.
Not sure what you're talking about. The person you replied to has the username FartyMcFarter, not sure who's doing the "cutting" here. It's also not even relevant to the general point in this sub-thread...
of course the first comment is someone "strongly" begging the user not to make a GUI library because they are "easy to get wrong" and "too big to be a fun hobby project"... i just don't get this mentality in programmers at all, but yet somehow it is rampant. i would maybe kind of understand this perverse form of insecurity / learned helplessness in the face of "complexity" for domains outside of one's training, experience, etc., but ... the whole point of programming is the sense that you can do whatever you want if you just write the code correctly. otherwise, what the hell are we doing here?
Curious that they mentioned their local pharmacy (Phoenix-Apotheke Mainz, on the same street as their office). I wonder what it supplied.
ROI is (net benefit)/(cost), where net benefit is (gross benefit - cost). Net benefit can be negative, making ROI negative if cost exceeds benefit. GP was using benefit as a shorthand for net benefit, which can certainly be negative.

It's part of the firmware first trend of fixing things at the firmware level before reporting problems up the stack. This makes it a real nightmare for systems integrators to do root cause analysis.
Intersecting data is fine provided there's a unique ID for each result that can be used to de-duplicate them.

Ideally I'd want a system that guarantees at-least-once delivery of every item. I can handle duplicates just fine, what I want to avoid is an item being missed out entirely due to the way I break up the data.
Did you read the transcript the for episode and the associated links and notes?

They back up their claims with studies of their own as well as metanalysis.
Sorry about that, noted.
Well, with low probability events you can go a bit further with your back of the envelop calculations, because that means they're more or less Poisson distributed. The average is somewhere around 16 so that gives a standard deviation of 4.

So there's about 3 standard deviations between the two, this sounds like quite a bit but really means they're both 1.5 standard deviations from the supposed mean. Which is, not great, though it might pass some of the weaker statistical tests.

Now you should actually weight the values by the total number of impressions in which case you might get a slightly higher significance since the one with 12 clicks was seen by more people.

So on the balance you should be wondering what you're paying the graphic designer for, but perhaps not start a new career designing low-budget adds.
It can actually reduce power consumption, because refresh rates don't need to be so high:

I think you could accomplish something similar with token pagination by requesting a number of items that will result in multiple "pages" for your user interface. Then as the user iterates through you can request additional items. This isn't parallelizing, but provides the same low-latency user experience.
Null terminated strings are often called cstrings. They’re beyond idiomatic; they’re part of the C standard library.

Trademark laws exist to prevent such freeloading. In this context, they ensure only the ones paying for the culture-shaping can benefit from it.

You’re claiming that all these people you’ve met are anarcho-capitalists? Are you under the impression that cultural conservatism means anarcho-capitalism?

You’ve provided no evidence that it is more common. In my experience, the opposite is true.

> I suspect the HN sentiment comes from a common feeling among techies that they are somehow immune to influence from advertising, combined with a high adoption rate of ad blockers.

I don't believe this at all. The reason I am skeptical of the effectiveness of advertising is despite engaging with dozens of people over the years, I have never had a single person provide me with convincing evidence that it works. Instead, they simply repeat "but of course it works!" similar to your comment.

So, where is the evidence?
Yes, the `phx-click` doesn't automatically get translated to a link or form submission. You can still design the page to work without javascript. For instance by having a "+" button be a normal form or link and then have phx-click intercept it when javascript is enabled. This can be done with one LiveView module without having to also have a separate regular controller.

One way to do it would be to in the `mount` function handle normal non-javascript params being sent and a `handle_event` function handle `phx-click`.

I don't know if there is already a way to have `phx-click` with fallback to HTTP in a less "manual" way. It should be possible to make.

Even the best-case scenarios for integrating a FPGA onto the same die as CPU cores would still have the FPGA separate from the CPU cores. It's really not possible to make an open-ended high bandwidth low latency interface to a huge chunk of FPGA silicon part of the regular CPU core's tightly-optimized pipeline, without drastically slowing down that CPU. The sane way to use an FPGA is as a coprocessor, not grafted onto the processor core itself. Then, you're interacting with the FPGA through interfaces like memory-mapped IO whether it's on-die, on-package, or on an add-in card.
Everyone seems to be talking about accelerated instructions but how about I/O?

FPGAs are awesome at asynchronous I/O and low latency. We could implement network stacks, sound and video processing, etc... It can start a TLS handshake as soon as the electrical signal hits the ethernet port, while the CPU is not even aware of it happening. It can timestamp MIDI input down to the microsecond and replay with the same precision. It can process position data from a VR headset at the very last moment in the graphics pipeline. Maybe even do something like a software defined radio.

Basically every simple but latency-critical operations. Of course, embedded/realtime systems are a prime target.
First, you don't need to have a company initially. A company, like any other asset, is a first and foremost a liability (time/money/focus). You can legally perform almost any work as a sole trader with your personal name in most jurisdictions. Do that first. There is no legal reason you can't later assign the IP/assets to a company, when that makes sense.

Second, realise that you may fail and that the journey may take far longer than you hope. Therefore, make sure you have adequate resources. If you are highly motivated, it can be a good move to maintain another income while you work on the idea. If you are lucky enough to have a supporting partner, friend or family member that may similarly help. That way there is a lot less stress as you are unlikely to run dry.

Also keep in mind there are numerous viable sources non-equity based financing. These include commercial bank loans and trade financing (accessible once you are cashflow positive, but if you do this you probably want to register a company ASAP), vendor financing (deferred payment plans on anything you buy for the business from the seller), non-secured loans (credit cards, etc.), crowd funding, etc. All have their drawbacks, but none are ultimately as expensive as equity based financing (the worst option) if you do eventually reach scale.
I've seen both the SD/4:3 version (twice) and the HD/widescreen version (once). I prefer the HD/widescreen version.

If you have not seen The Wire, here are some suggestions:

* Watch it with subtitles, so you can understand the slang of the different subcultures of Baltimore. Otherwise, it's easy to miss many important details. The actors -- many of whom are actual former gang members, police officers, judges, politicians, teachers, etc. from the city Baltimore, speak as the characters would in real life -- not always in easy-to-understand dialects or accents.

* Bookmark the Wikipedia page on The Wire's characters, so you can look them up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Wire_characters -- there are well over a hundred important characters, and sometimes it's a good idea to pause the show and look a character up to refresh your memory if you don't remember a particular name.

* If you're not naturally interested in Baltimore's police and drug gang subcultures, you may find the first season a bit slow and much of the dialogue full of seemingly unnecessary detail. I would recommend sticking with it through at least the beginning of the second season, which is mainly about longshoremen and unions, before passing judgment. The Wire is not about police, nor about drug gangs. It's about the city of Baltimore.
Give it a try, we think its a lot nicer than the tiny menu bar stats most apps provide -- they just don't display the right amount of information.

You can quickly collapse it away when you want it out of the way by clicking on the left mode "PLUTO" label.
Also Unix. Syscalls return null-terminated strings all over the place. So any language running on Unix has to deal with null-terminated strings.

Yeah, it could be that many startups try to do advertising ethically, realize that it doesn't work, and drop out. That's necessarily going to leave all the firms willing to sell snake oil behind.

You can get firms selling stuff that doesn't work that are "trusted" simply because they've been around for years; there are plenty of distinguished brands selling homeopathic remedies, audiophile speaker cables, timeshares and MLM schemes.
That seems really low unless the domains were nonsense random letters.

I learnt an old adage while doing my MBA: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half." - attributed to John Wanamaker.

Online advertising was supposed to fix this. You could never tell when a potential customer read a billboard, but you could absolutely determine when someone clicked on an ad.

I don't know what happened. I suspect everyone got obsessed by tracking user behaviour and remarketing and all the bells and whistles.
Out of novelty.
It's only a choice you can make, but I think you'd need to provide more information about what your business is and how it could benefit from the capital, else users here will just have to guess about your preferences and intended future for it.
No. Gen1 images use a fixed allocation pool instead of an oversubscription model. You need a gen2 image with a cooperative memory allocator on the guest in order for this to work properly.

IMO, "validated" is intentionally wishy-washy and mostly means that AMD would prefer it if enterprises paid them more money by buying EPYC (or Ryzen Pro) parts instead of consumer Ryzen parts. Much like how Intel prefers selling higher-margin Xeons over Core i5. It's market segmentation, but friendlier to consumers than Intel's approach.
I also happened to time track my time this year, although in a more automatic (and less detailed) way. For that I used ActivityWatch on my personal laptop (which I use for all non-work related matters) in order to have an automatic way to track my time and, at least for me, figure out how much time I'm wasting on time wasters like social media, Youtube, Hacker News and so on. It was interesting to see the difference between the time I think I'm spending and the time I'm actually spending.

Yes, the consumer parts only support UDIMMs. If you want RDIMMs, you have to pay for EPYC.
It isn't only cosmic rays. Regular old radiation can also cause it. I've read about a server that had many repeated problems and the techs replaced the entire motherboard at one point.

Then one of them brought in his personal Geiger counter and found the radiation coming off the steel in that rack case was significantly higher than background.

You may never know when the metal you use was recycled from something used to hold radioactive materials.
If you go that route, you should be able to avoid the code/data distinction entirely; as data pages can also be completly backed by files. I believe the kernel already keeps track of what pages are a clean copy of data from the filesystem, so I would think it would be a simple matter of essentially pageing out the corrupted data.

What would be interesting is if userspace could mark a region of memory as recomputable. If the kernel is notified of memory corruption there, it triggers a handler in the userspace process to rebuild the data. Granted, given the current state of hardware; I can't imagine that is anywhere near worth the effort to implement.
You're welcome! Yes, it's quite problematic and there are numerous ways malicious code can abuse the sandboxed environment.

Can make that statement with any certainty? My personal and family computers have crashed quite a few times, and have corrupted photoes and files, some of them are valuable (taxes, healthcare, etc. Personal computers have valuable data these days)

I couldn't tell, as a user, which if those corruptions and crashes were causes by bitflips. Could you?
This is a weirdly aggressive and cynical listicle
Yeah, worth mentioning highly optimized FPGA designs run at up to 600MHz (or to put it another way, 400MHz lower than what Intel advertised 4 years ago). So at a minimum, you're going to clock cross, have a >10 cycle pipeline at CPU speeeds (variable clock) and clock cross back.

A basic intuition for copyright law and GPL
Just like C is pimped up BCPL, a language designed to bootstrap the CPL compiler, 10 years younger than ESPOL/NEWP, 10 years younger than Jovial, 6 years younger than PL/I, among other possible examples from the 60's.

Also C was known for not being a fast language on 80's home hardware, ruled by Assembly.

So low level coding for OS isn't coding like C and is just the way for mechanical sympathy, regardless of the language.
An honor to have Steve Klabnik himself responded to me. Thank you for your amazing work for the Rust community and the books as well. I'm a Rust hobbyist, I'm just trying to be objective, especially since majority of my day job doesn't involve Rust, and for sure my team mates refuse for me to introduce small bits of Rust code here and there, because of unknown territory.
The post above was about compiling not running older programs. In terms of running Windows is better, though in either case you do need to find workarounds (what you describe sounds like such a case).

JIT doesn't mean you should carry no inventory or wait for orders. You should carry enough stock that you sell out of just in time for the replenishment to arrive.
True. I was skipping over that, but the fact that functions manipulating null terminated strings are part of the standard library is certainly a reason in itself to consider them idiomatic.
I'm hopeful that Rust will lead in a good direction.

A C-style ABI, by virtue of being the least common denominator, is probably the best bet for re-usability across paradigms. Higher level languages would want to write idiomatic façades, but they already habitually do that anyway, even on higher-level platforms like Java and .NET.

And I think that deterministic memory management is probably also a pretty important feature. You don't want your libraries all bringing their own clever ideas about object lifetimes and such. But you also need it to be very reliable; a real danger with inviting libraries written in C and C++ into your process space is that they are liable to corrupt your memory. Rust's affine type system seems like a big step in the right direction here.

Similar thoughts for the error model. I don't have any particular complaints about exceptions, except that you don't want to be bleeding them on an external API, because that ends up being another spot where languages can fail to mesh.

What's missing, though, is that there is no good cross-platform standard for libraries that work with the C ABI (neither in source nor binary form) for other languages to plug into. So that's where I get to thinking that Rust might be closer to (if not exactly at) the mark than C is.
