You can get a very simplified and overall summary of a compiler and mosfet but you won't necessarily be learning it. Knowing the basic of a mosfet is very different from actually getting hands on experience and taping out a 7nm chip.
I think we're in agreement, and the misunderstanding is my fault for attempting humor in my reply. I believe the linked piece is in agreement too, it even concludes with:

> this is a social game of negotiating meaning, and of noticing that language which seems so precise is often not that at all.
I need to find something productive to do without my daily dose of corporate feel good narratives on my creeper rolodex.
What's that statement have to do with the discussion at hand? What lead you to introduce it?
I went to a crappy state school after community college and met exactly 0 passionate professors along the way. It was an astoundingly miserable experience. None of my classmates have gone on to do anything of note.
See, even these descriptions which you presumably think are clear distinctions are not objective categories of information.

Do drawings count? How about deepfakes? Pyrotechnic display textbooks?

You're going to need a judge, and that judge is going to wield power.
Disagree. I think by the time that most students get to the point of taking a compilers course, they can understand (at a high level) what each of these stages is doing with no motivation needed.

When I took my compilers course, we went over the stages of a compiler in the first 10 minutes of the first lecture, and I think everyone "got it" right away.
Exactly this. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write a comment, quite exceptionally

I have an electric leaf blower and it's loud as hell. I think most of the noise comes from the high velocity air itself.
That's a simulated picture of the panel on the machine where all the grease lines come together for easy access.
I hate GPA incentives because a lot of classes are subject to interpretation over whether you comprehend the material. Physics and math you can't lie. Programming has enumerable variations to a correct answer. General education classes are 100% up to how the instructor feels about your assignment that day.
One of the first results claims that using the internet resulted in a larger decrease to sperm count than using a cell phone.

And all of the studies that claimed to show a link between cell phone use and decreased sperm were based on surveys of patients at fertility clinics, or were based on subjecting rat testicles to 1000x the amount of radiation that a human would encounter in the real world.

You may want to rethink your citations.
The flipside, if you have a CPU and you can't keep it pegged 100% of the time, are you wasting resources?
I think people don't really agree it has that much value. People want to get rich quickly. They always have done that and continue to do so. Casinos and lotteries are older than bitcoin.

The idea that BTC goes above 50k USD because millions of people believe its intrinsic value is worth that much is a story that BTC investors tell themselves before going to sleep. Reality is much greedier than that, and they know it, but the narrative won't change while the fairy tale continues to be profitable.
Right? You’d think that not having any kind of internet presence and making no discernible effort to take credit for the work would be enough of a hint. It’s hard to be that low profile unintentionally.

What does it take to be left alone? What does a person have to say/do for it to be taken as anything but an invitation to search for them?
Even if you have a BS, you'll still need to get recommendations from professors you likely have not talked to in a decade (and also take the GRE).
I wish you could filter by what other people have searched for.

Listening to jake brakes and a train a few times a day is a lot bad for my health than easily irritated neighbors.
Why chelates specifically? As opposed to, say, magnesium citrate.
Maybe it's the lack of consideration that annoys you more than the noise itself?
I often set up a "how to create a dev environment" wiki and then we exercise it many many times.

IBM got a bad shipment of laptop hard drives that exhibited a MTBF of about 2 years, and our equipment dept bought a stack of laptops from that batch. Over a summer we had 6 machines go belly up. Mine was number #5. People still looked at me like I announced that I had stage 3 cancer. Oh you poor poor man. I found this reaction disappointing.

By then the process was about as documented as any I've had. It just took me a day to get it up and running (because the base image left a very slow step until after 2nd boot, which I still maintain is dumbness squared).

A coworker from that cohort had an experience that I still use as an example. He tried to put his work laptop in the back seat of his car. He missed and hit the door frame. Killed the laptop. Similarly, taking your laptop down the stairwell could be a one way trip to the trash bin.

If the information is important for us GET IT OFF OF YOUR COMPUTER. As soon as you know. Put it in storage, or at the very least in some coworker's head/computer. If you do this, consistently, then losing your machine is a shitty inconvenience, but nothing more dire than that.
Judgement has nothing to do with my experience.

It can also be true if someone experienced extreme precocious puberty from unknown causes, is highly gifted and a voracious learner/autodidact, is emotionally intelligent, went through some shit in life, and basically had to become the "adult" (became authentically internally-stronger and didn't fall apart) of the family and of siblings when their birth parents were irresponsible and infantile. Improbable? Sure. It happened. Keep judging, impugning, and denigrating from afar.

Have a good day and a productive life. :)
ah yes, time to appoint the glorious truth czars.
Nice reference, but like the OP article, it really goes light on security. I feel that's the hardest part of getting an API released.
While some sources are being chastised for the content they put out, it's equally damaging to negligently not put out content on other stories. Both sides are doing this pick and choose game of politics and bias.

hear about it in the hunter biden case here:https://youtu.be/ZnMMx-i971I?t=2481
It isn't. There are two differences.

The first is that prosecutions are retrospective. If something is true and you can't stop anyone from saying it, only punish them after, then people who are willing to sacrifice their freedom for the truth can't be silenced. There is also less incentive to punish them because the cat is already out of the bag, and people are more willing to push back against a prosecution for speaking a truth that they've seen survive an adversarial public debate.

The second is that prosecutions happen in courts bound (in the US) by the First Amendment, and the prosecution fails if the defendant was engaged in protected speech. Facebook or Comcast/MSNBC (note: the same company) deciding what constitutes "misinformation" with no accountability for over-censoring is not that.
Rereading, I overstated: "poor" should have been "not strong". The Ivy grads I've known worked with have ranged from perfectly ok, to really good. But that doesn't differentiate them from many other non-Ivy sources, in my experience. Which isn't to say all sources are equivalent - far from true.

As a hiring strategy it works ok, but you are leaving out far more talented people that you can possibly include. It's a small pool after all.

GP's point I thought was more that if you end up without such credentials at a place that values them highly, you'll have a hard time even if you are more talented than many of your peers. This seems true in my limited experience.

I do think you have a point somewhere that if your bar isn't too high and you know what you are getting, picking from the same small pool (doesn't have to be Ivy, maybe you mostly hire Stanford or whatever) is a safe strategy, in that it reduces your variance. You are giving up something for that safety, but that's life.
I have a Google account for like 14 years or so, although I no longer use it for anything other than YouTube. Yesterday I tried to watch some age restricted video on YouTube and they've suddenly asked me to confirm my age by either giving them my credit card details or a scan of my ID.

Nothing that mpv with youtube-dl couldn't solve, but still.
> It's worth noting that "India" did not exist at the time, which made it possible for the British to take over by using these divisions.

Citation needed. What exactly did not exist? What do you mean by "India" here?

The people, the culture, languages etc have all existed for many many years before the British even thought of setting foot in India.

As for the land that we call India today:

Babur (the Founder of Mughal Empire in the 1500s) described "Hindustan" as follows:

“The country of Hindustan is extensive, full of men and full of produce. On the east, south and even on the west, it ends at its great enclosing ocean (muhit-daryasigah). On the north it has mountains which connect with those of Hindukush, Kafiristan and Kashmir. North-west of it lie Kabul, Ghazni and Qandahar. Delhi is held to be the capital of the whole of Hindustan.”

In case you don't know, Hindustan is the Persian name of India at the time. And in the above quote he is describing Himalayas, and the seas that surround India in East, West and South. Thats pretty much the entire modern day India + Pakistan described by a Persian guy in 1500s. The british landed in India a good 100 years after that

As for being "weak and divided", I believe you are implying that India was ruled by many kingdoms and thus wasn't a unified entity. At the time the British landed, Mughal Empire was the prominent power and controlled almost all of modern day India. Before the Mughal Empire, there were other Empires that controlled almost all of Modern day India + Pakistan. One such empire is the Maurya Empire which reigned from 322 - 185 BC.

Also the British company that came to India was literally named after India and was the East *India* company that was founded in 1600s. Not to mention naming other places after India when they were no where near India like the West Indies or like referring to North American Natives as "Indians"

So please elaborate on what exactly did not exist?

> Perhaps the very existence of India is the most important legacy of the British in the region.

I see this article as an attempt to correct such blatant revisionisms of history. India existed long before the British came. They enslaved, and looted India. And to say that existence of India is their legacy is slap in the face of thousands who died in search of freedom and an Identity and to not be a slave. Would you go around saying the Nazis put Jews on the world map? If not, then don't say the same about India and the British. The British were an occupying force and their biggest achievement in India is that they didn't kill the natives like they did in Australia or America. And they didn't do that because it was more profiting to put enslave the local population than to kill it.

It feels weird to watch all this outrage, when we had four years of the president calling the media "fake news", and everybody pretty much accepted "Yeah, that's just the way he talks."

Partisanship, partisanship everywhere.
Wow. As a European I had no idea that Canadian education was so expensive. Was under the mistaken impression that it was largely free, like health care. Obviously much cheaper than the US - which is life destroyingly expensive. But the figures you cite are still pricey enough to exclude enormous numbers of people from higher education.

Classy call-out
never said it is not widely used or not effective.

Just saying that it won't matter much if removed from the equation.

I mean, if something makes your life easier, you would be a fool to not use it. but that is like saying not having a ferrari prevents you from driving to the store.
This experiment very vaguely reminds me of some methods people use pump up the level of the red blood cells... I might be mixing it up with something, but it's a curious thought.

A HL Programming Language for Quantum Computers
Hi,
I've designed and implemented a higher-level programming language for quantum computers. It essentially makes creating classical oracles for use in quantum circuits much easier, by defining C-style arithmetic/logical operations on qregs and having a compiler pass to estimate qubit counts prior to compilation, which, btw compiles to QASM for use on IBM systems. Does this seem interesting to people? Would anyone like to learn more about it?

I've spent serious time looking into this. One of the biggest sources of noise is windows or other places air can start to get in. I re-sealed my windows as best I could, but it's still a crisis of sound. Windows that claim to be sound-isolating either don't open at all or are very expensive to buy or properly install.

But: These are the kinds of "nobody cares it's your fault it bugs you and you need to find a solution" comments that are pervasive. Sure, I need to do my part as someone who's bothered by the sound, but there is no real incentive for the producer of the noise to cut it out.

Not singling you out in particular, just showing that even honest proposals for solutions tend to miss the elephant in the room: noise pollution that isn't pure sustained decibels can still be damaging.

Say I have an obnoxious horn that is a few db below the ordinance/limit. Many may claim that's a nuisance although somehow the blower isn't. But why shouldn't I get to play with my horn for a few hours every day? Maybe my leaves don't like it. The fact that the leaf-blower sound comes from doing a "chore" seems to change the equation in ways that are hard to articulate.
same. different ref
And what if fuel cell electric vehicles became the future? Wouldn't you have completely gotten it wrong?
I wonder what it means to claim that "education is a human right." Maybe it means different things to different people.
I think your point is certainly correct. The headline makes it sound like this is only a software optimization, and it is definitely not.

Yeah they had to touch 90% of the code. But only to make it work with the different hardware. Sure, hardware that was still found in the SNES, but what you're saying about these chips being added to cartridges effectively turning them into a different console is very interesting.

I wish I knew more about the inner workings of electronic circuits, processors and the like. It's at the top of my TODO list to learn. These 90's era SNES cartridges seem like an interesting era as far as that's concerned. The wiki the article links to in regards to the lineage of special chips many of these games contained is cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_...

On this topic, another nostalgic memory I'll never forget (I'm 35) is walking into a K-mart as a boy and playing Starfox at a demo station for the first time. It was right up front as you walked in. There was a TV & SNES playing the game. It was surrounded by poster board marketing material with flashy pictures. It clearly emphasizied the brand new 'Super FX' chip that made the cutting edge polygon graphics possible.

As if anyone knew what the heck that meant, but a 'Super FX' chip sounds really cool to the layperson. But they were some of the best 3D graphics my young eyes had ever witnessed back in '93 :)
I do note that this is a limitation mostly for physical systems/models. For non-physical color spaces you can make a triangular shape cover far more of the human visible gamut by having the primaries be "imaginary", i.e. not real visible colors. ACES AP0 is one great example of that
Why do you even bother responding to someone who uses such unprofessional software?
I would really like to try NiceHash, but the fact that I have to add it as an exception to Windows Defender antivirus, and that one of the founders has previously been convicted [0] and served time for writing botnet malware, really gives me pause.

Yes, it does work with Nextcloud - and this is the reason I moved to Nexcloud from Syncthing (and previously - Seafile).

I was just commenting on your migration to Syncthing, which is a superior syncing app IMHO. It is just that when I was using it I realized that I am missing the share ability, which is avalable in Nextcloud, though my (somehow unhappy) travel the other way round from Syncthing to Nextcloud.

I think that Nextcloud is trying to cover too much things, with half-baked apps.
This is a good idea how to do git in a team. For solo use, you can actually give yourself a little bit more slack.
That makes sense, but it seems like a case of building an abstraction to solve a problem caused by another abstraction. If a scene graph creates a new chore for me that necessitates yet another dependency, i think it'd be simpler to not fuss with these layers at all. That's a choice i don't have with the DOM.
This, at least in America, is the real heart of the problem. Our building practices have leaned so cheap for so long on thin margins, that walls, even exterior, are paper thin to the point of being ridiculous.

This becomes much more obvious if you have travelled around to other countries, and it's not all about wealth. Yes, rich ones such as Switzerland are a great example because of the heat containment requirements they have, there are poorer countries that still know how to build a house without sound going through it as if it was nothing.

This doesn't mean noise pollution shouldn't be tackled itself, but cities are noisey, and people at least deserve to have domiciles that give them a refuge.

This means you need to start participating in your city and county governments if you really want change (like many things!)
You dont have to be a genius to conclude that eating empty calories of anything is bad for you. But the parent poster has a point.
In my old house we didn't have natural gas, options were: get a truck to refill a propane tank (we didn't have a tank), burn wood (we lived in the desert of eastern WA, not many trees) or use an electric heat pump (we had abundant cheap hydropower from the Columbia river basin). Was an easy choice. Supplemented with an electric resistance heater for the coldest days in the winter.
Coober Pedy - isn't that the town where people live underground because of the heat? I remember seeing it on some TV show. Fascinating stuff
It's confirmed that I'm an idiot who happens to just be into WebGl and threejs these last few months. But I must ask about the choice to use React. Is there an actual benefit to using React or is it popular enough to justify its use?
True. Noise gets logged in the health app from the apple watch, so a research study could tap into that quite easily. They already do that for heart rate and other metrics.
Yeah pretty much. But I don’t think it’s insidious.

They just need weak people who will bow to every “pop culture” norm they create to buy the latest stuff.

Strong individualists or even even keel/healthy ones will realize they don’t need much and don’t need to do much to enjoy life.

Weak people need something to grasp onto to give them meaning. Muh new toys, muh new car, muh racism, muh social justice, muh politics, muh cardi b, muh $14 drinks at the bar.
Don't patronize or judge me. You're being a rude dick.
Indeed we haven't run into many problems. Maybe an annoyance now and then such as a relative (usually one of hers, ironically) that assumes she has my last name and sends cards or letters to Mrs XXX. In fact some of them know she kept her maiden name but are conservative enough to find this somehow offensive enough that they give her my last name. (Again, weird, what's wrong with the last name she shares with them.)

(The only reason we sometimes wish she'd change her name is that hers is extremely common, and so she's constantly getting mixups with other people with the same name and has to sign things every time we buy a house or get a loan, etc. to say she isn't that other XXX YYY that has the bad credit rating or outstanding loan or criminal record, etc.)
Well, given that it is entirely optional and plenty of women choose one and plenty of women choose the other, I don't think it's something we need to call "backwards", if a woman chooses to do it (as plenty of women still do).
Don't let the drama fool you though. Epic only had those RNG loot boxes in the "Save the World" Fortnite game which is entirely different from the actual popular phenomena that is the battleroyal one. That and on Rocket League which they bought in that state while they were only implementing the standard TF2/Valve model of lootboxes. And when bought they made them switch to a non lootbox model.

As such, that class action lawsuit is rather clickbait by itself. It rode on the popularity of "Fortnite BR" to make it look like Epic was selling tons of lootboxes to kids when the reality is they had so few players of Save The World it probably had a rather insignificant impact on kids getting exposed to gambling.
> The subversive marketing and political astroturfing really annoy me as a long time reddit user.

It's not as if Hacker News is immune to this. Pay attention to some of the posts being pushed to the front page and the associated comments and you may notice similar shenanigans occuring here. This applies doubly so if the post is made during the weekend.[1]

Considering the fact that many users on HN are reddit transplants, there is the inevitable spillover effect. Comments of the lowbrow variety have become more commonplace (e.g. comment threads made of low-hanging puns).

Without strict moderation, this site too will devolve. After all, you can take the redditor out of reddit but you can't take the reddit out of the redditor.

[1]: As one example, a couple weeks ago there was a new account created by a user for the sole purpose of selling their book on HN; they've only been active on that account for that one single post and (I strongly suspect) they used alts to artificially boost their post to the front page.
