Well, it's not like low quality LCDs don't suffer from burn in like effects, either. But the way the screen saver settings have been hidden away suggests that this feature is pretty much on life support. It's just much better to send the screen into standby.
Georgette Heyer was explicitly inspired by Austen, and presumably many of her readers were Austen fans hungry for more stories from the same era.

In a similar way we might say that Tolkien was the progenitor of a line of pulp fantasy novels, even though they have a significantly different character.

The strategy forces you to time the market. You might get unlucky by holding cash during a market rally, then buy back for a dump.

An investor who sells when they think the market is going to go downhill, with the intention to buy back later is not acting as an investor but as a trader.

That's why hedging with options is less risky (and less profitable in the best case).

edit: My use of word 'unlimited' applies if you want to keep the same stake at the companies. In money terms you cannot lose more than the value of your holdings.
Replying to my own post, looks like ex is more straightforward.

Good points. I guess there is more to all of this than I originally figured.
How do you arrive at $100-$300/day?
But the truth is all the awesome analyses with those programs still cannot actually predict the STOCK PRICE right? If I truly believe I have a better guess about whether a stock is going to go up than the general market conensus (which is what I'm assuming is powering options pricing), then I do stand a chance of making money right?

None of what you say seems to change anything about how a regular investor looks at an option as - it's just a magnifying glass on how much you can make or loose by betting on a stock. Either you get lucky or you are actually insightful in some stocks, that's the edge you have (if any) over the career traders who don't want to rely on this luck to make their money.

I've had a pair of Sennheiser HD800 headphones for about a decade. It was about AUD 1300 when I got them.

The padding has failed, and been replaced, twice. That cost me just under AUD 100 each time.

The cable has failed, and been replaced, also twice. That cost me an eye-watering AUD 270 each time.

All up, these headphones have cost me approximately $240 on an annualised basis. In my opinion, the sound quality is more than worth this ongoing expense. I spend 10x more on coffee!

I got the AirPod 2 when it was released, almost exactly two years ago. They cost me about AUD 250. Annually this is AUD 125, which is half what the Sennheiser costs. I use the AirPods at work, often up to 8 hours a day.

For comparison, the wired Apple headphones have these "soft" cables that crack in well under a year, and cost $50 to replace. They're e-waste too!

People seem to have this knee-jerk reaction about Apple and e-waste, which to me is just nonsense. Especially Airpods, which are a fantastically well engineered product in my opinion.
I'm not happy about any tool that increases the ability of online mobs to direct their momentary rage at individuals, even if those individuals have done stupid things. There's no check on a mob, online or otherwise, nobody in a position to impose restraint: once it's in motion, it goes until its momentum is exhausted.

I don't have a solution to this problem; I philosophically don't agree with legislation to prevent publicly available facial recognition, because I think it's maybe even worse to have a government monopoly on it, but I realize we can't rely on people's good judgment and self-restraint. Maybe we have an awkward time until we develop a mature perspective on this technology.

It was fantastic for finding things, because you could explore it, and because search was garbage back then.
People often think of options as a cheap shortcut to wealth. They end up losing everything with that strategy. No one becomes wealthy in trading with one-off trades.

Trading options effectively and sleeping at night starts with studying and monitoring 30-50 underlying securities across different sectors, understanding their price action, liquidity, binary events, current volatility (both relative to their own volatility range and to their markets’ volatilities), the effect of that volatility on expected prices, and how these underlying selections balance a portfolio’s risk and expected moves. Of course there’s a lot more to it beyond that, but having that list helps you pick an underlying to play with at a given moment.

There are many strategies of options trading out there for managing risk while making money in every kind of market. If you’re intellectually curious about options, don’t take tips and lessons from people on Reddit, twitter, or hn.

Why do people spend years honing a craft like software development yet spend no time vetting symbols they hear about online before dumping money money into trading them? How is that acceptable?

If anyone is intellectually curious about this, I suggest they go to YouTube and start by watching tastytrade’s videos as well as basic introductory videos on option definitions, mechanics, and strategies.

State machines do compose, but usually in a message passing environment. That might be a message passing programming environment like Erlang, or it might be a message passing system such as a protocol stack. Every layer in your stack be it bluetooth, IP, or whatever is a state machine communicating with messages to the layers above and below (whether or not it is written using an explicit state machine, most protocol layers implicitly are a state machine).

The number of possible transitions thing isn't really an issue. For embedded applications I usually use a (home grown) Python tool that generates C code from a CSV file. The CSV file is 4 columns - start state, event, end state, action function (optional). That list of transitions can get to hundreds of lines, but grouped by starting state it is fairly easy to manage and understand - e.g. you're looking at the list of things that can happen when the device is 'CHARGING' (such as charger disconnect, power on).
It's amazing how many times the original author finds out about random HN posts anyway...
What I meant I guess was displaying images and video inline on a graphical browser instead of on a new page or browser instance. Looks like LaGrange already does that at least for images.

Yeah, I really like the links being on distinct lines. I don't know why, but it's refreshing. I think it also encourages a document writer to actually provide details about the link and definitely gives the user agent an opportunity to display the destination and be clear about what is happening.
Ah, I missed that. Again it is a bit confusing. LibreOffice Online is actually the same as Collabora, and it includes the mobile releases.

Yes [1]. But a one-way single-leg options bet is far less likely to make you money, in that case, than just going long or short the stock.

[1] I am going to parse “truly believe” as have an information edge, i.e. you have seen something nobody else has acted on. Which happens surprisingly often to individual investors.

Way back when I was working on parallel graph engines, trillions of edges was pretty typical. The kind of data models that produce graphs that large are pretty diverse.
I find it amusing that now every single UK conservative is defending the UK government with this specific point when the UK government managed to have a series of regular fuckups over the last year nobody else managed to get in the EU.
Only if they went all in on an overvalued meme stock like GME; if they put money in an index, like the one that follows the S&P 500, they would be up by anywhere between ~10% and ~45% depending on when they got in. Long-term, broad-spectrum trends have always been upwards.

TL;DR don't bet all your money on one horse. stock. whichever.

Go to the "insights" tab on your repository, and you should be able to see the number of recent-clones. If that number is bigger than zero it might be that somebody else has fetched it.

But really we can't tell; there's been nothing in the news about a mass compromise, or mass leaking. So it is possible you've had a PC compromise by a slow & stealthy user, or something entirely different.
I use QMK macros/ tap dances for the same thing as a 100% platfrom independent solution (albeit being also a 100% hardware dependent solution).
Here's the funny thing: they are absolutely everywhere! It's just that the vast majority of them are implicit.

What I mean by this is you can describe virtually every piece of "logic" in an app as a state machine - there are "behaviors" (finite states) that might change (transitions) due to something that happens (events).

The problem is that there are many ways developers wire those up, where the finite states, transitions, and events are there, but it's difficult to enumerate them clearly.

So why doesn't everyone use explicit state machines? Simply because languages make it easier to write implicit state machines (e.g., async/await), and it's the path of least resistance to getting code to "just work". Unfortunately, most developers care about the frictionless path rather than the most robust path, especially in this startup-driven world.

> How does it compare to blazegraph and how does it compare to redisgraph?

GraphScope is not a graph database, and it cannot handle updates to graphs. The graphs are loaded to memory and are "immutable", but queries on GraphScope are typically faster than graph databases, and GraphScope scales very well - you can launch a larger session from your python notebook to handle a bigger graph or run a complex algorithm.

> As far as I can tell, it's not for doing parallel graph analysis (i.e. GAS) on the GPU, is that right? (It's hard to tell, because I'm also seeing that this is designed to be used for GNNs.) But if I wanted to spawn lots of workers on a single machine, I could do that?

Internally, we have an early version running with GPU support. However,it does not really seem cost-effective to running algorithms with lots of random memory accesses on sparse data structures like large graphs on GPU. There could be ~10x speed-up, but because memory on GPUs are typically smaller than main memory, that means the graphs would not be too slow to be processed on CPUs either.

For GNN part, we focused on the sampling, it is currently done on CPUs too. After the samples get feeding to TensorFlow, TensorFlow could utilize GPU depend on the setting.
Sure, but I think you have to draw a line somewhere between proximal and ultimate inspirations; modern Regency romances are very like Heyer (albeit generally much more explicit) and rather unlike Austen.

We subdivide modern fantasy into 'epic', 'sword and sorcery', 'low', and so on, even though they have common ancestors.

He’s had to sign numerous agreements and passed numerous exams detailing these responsibilities, I don’t understand how he didn’t try to cover his tracks better.

I've been using LibreOffice and before that OpenOffice for as long as it's been open source. Writer, Impress and Calc are fantastic products and as capable as anything else on the market. That said, I fear the market for non-web based office software is going to slowly shrink.

The real competition is web based office suites like Google Docs, Zoho and Microsoft Office. The web based suites are missing lots of features, but they make up for it two ways: auto revisions/save and real-time collaboration. It's hard to go back to old-style local single-access files once you've had a team of four working on a document at the same time.

Finally, most of us have been frog-potted one too many times by software that switches to a community / paid enterprise license model. The name "community edition" tends to signal a bleak future. I've had to switch from SugarCRM, ElasticSearch and a few others because in the rush to create value in the "enterprise" version, eventually they just make the community one suck instead of making the enterprise one that much better. Also, the truth is I wouldn't have even bothered using Sugar or Elastic if the only option was to pay for it.
I've been wondering, what most degrees from a good school provide to you, and prospective employers, is just a guarantee that you know your stuff and are probably smart. Nowadays you can pretty much teach yourself anything online and from books. Why is there no institution that just does the testing and provides a certificate? You get a syllabus for a few years, and then come back at the end, or in some interval, to be tested on the material. Sure, the tests would have to be pretty comprehensive, but that's not really a problem. If they're done well and cheat-proof, I'm sure employers would start to trust those degrees pretty quickly. Then the benefit would be similar to paying for a full university education, but much cheaper. Of course this only works for people who can teach themselves well.
People have mentioned features which LibreOffice lacks and the poor state of the UI but what I haven't seen mentioned here is the reason I don't use LibreOffice anymore. It is slow. Whenever I used it I felt like I was stuck in molasses. Even the basic stuff like launching the applications, opening documents and scrolling through them always felt extremely slow.

An important part of glibc malloc design is that it expects developers to free memory in a reverse order of allocation, otherwise a lot of memory will be ‘locked’, and never returned to the system.

Is this a very specific GNU concern, or do I have to keep this in mind in general on other systems when using their default allocators?

Yes - LibreOffice Draw. Microsoft has made quite a mess of Visio and Draw is much, much easier to use. My organization is an MS Office shop but that really just means we use Word, Excel, and Power Point. Us techies? We use LibreOffice Draw.

Now that GDocs has become more popular and so people more and more are distributing presentations as PDFs I've also seen more people starting to use Impress. It's usage isn't widespread, but it's trending up.

Word and Excel? I don't see their dominance fading in my organization anytime in the foreseeable future.

In 2007 my company (a digital agency) had it's last bad Microsoft day. We had a bad Windows update that caused every employee 4-5 hours of downtime. So, that afternoon I asked everyone Mac or Linux. The next day we switched. It worked out largely because OpenOffice (and then LibreOffice) were good enough to let us interop with our customers and vendors.

Yeah, that's one of my ongoing frustrations as a maintainer :) I've always gone straight to a tool's docs when I want to start learning it. I look for other sources, too, but I start with the docs, and I always assumed other people did, too. That's definitely not the case - many people deliberately _don't_ look at docs [0].

I definitely don't expect everyone with an existing Redux codebase to know that RTK exists already (although sure, I'd love to wave a magic wand and update every Redux codebase to RTK overnight). But it is sad to see new tutorials being posted that A) don't teach anything new compared to the plethora of existing tutorials, and B) continue to teach older patterns that are the same things people have complained about Redux over the years.

So, even though I'm spending a lot of time updating our docs and highlighting RTK as the default way to use Redux, many people just rely on whatever other courses and tutorials they've looked at for their knowledge.

I’m really interested in analyses like this.

I’d like to compare the rates of policing to murders and shootings in more metro areas to confirm, but if they match the ones shown it seems like the homicides are due to police response to the protests more than the protests themselves.

The fewer pedestrian stops in LA seems to show that there were just fewer cops out and about. So this somehow resulted in more murder. I want to investigate other crime as well.

I think there’s likely some other benefits to having fewer police stops, but it seems, despite the errors and prejudice shown during many stops, that they reduce crime.

I was surprised with the increase murder because I expected it to go down due to everyone being cooped up. I expected domestic violence and suicide to rise, but murders and property crime to drop just due to fewer human interactions.
> Yes and no. A Comp Sci./Eng. degree is pretty much guaranteed to get you a decently paying job.

This is not true in a lot of countries according to my experience. I would not suggest this path for anyone that might start college in a couple of years. Unless you manage to get into a big company you'll probably find it easier to get a job and a good salary in many other sectors. I know pre-school teachers that had a 30% higher entry level salary than me, and they didn't even finish their education before getting jobs thrown their way.

The supply of Comp Sci./Eng. people has increased A LOT. And there will be an explosion with all of the new graduates that have been told exactly what you're saying.
