I've been suffering from tinnitus and hyperacusis for over three years. It led me to read a bit about hearing in general, and more and more studies show that most of the hearing loss we experience as we grow old is nothing natural but the result of the years of abuse we inflict upon our ears in our everyday lives ( https://www.jneurosci.org/content/40/33/6357 ). Even though my situation is specific, this article does not surprise me at all. I believe it has also been proven that loud noise reduces brain activity levels and cognitive performance.

I wasn't a fan of loud noises before my hyperacusis appeared, but now I've grown to absolutely despise motorcycle drivers who seem to feel obligated to make as much noise as possible in dense areas, accelerating as strong as they can regardless of common sense and speed limits. I won't even mention those doing this late at night throughout the city, not worried about waking up hundreds if not thousands of people.

I've moved out of a big city to be less exposed to traffic noise, unfortunately the area I'm now in is coastal and often has said drivers "enjoying" the coastline in their own unique way as soon as the sun is out.

I hope that this major public health issue will be tackled in the upcoming years, and that strong limitations on engine noise will be put in place, enforced by sound radars, heavy fines, and incentives to go electric.

Stamps (forever or not) are often used for Ebay manufactured spend because they're easy to sell (clear value, lightweight and easy to ship).

It goes like Ebay says spend $X or sell $X on ebay and they'll give you a rebate. (Or sometimes the rebate comes from a credit card or Bing). If the $X covers ebay fees and shipping, then buy stamps to reach the $X and then sell them when you get them. If the rebate it sufficient, you can sell the stamps for less than cost, because you're already ahead.
This is interesting! And I love bananas, too.
The problem is that it took forever to standardize the internal language-level machinery that the committee run out of time to standardize the user level library bits. Instead of delaying coroutines again (they were originally scheduled to be part of C++17, but then they were taken out of the standard), they decided to merge what they had into the standard.

I do a lot of solo development and I always use git. I'm definitely a lot less disciplined about small atomic commits than I am when collaborating, but Git is still very valuable to me.

I use it for a few things:

1. As a collection of notes describing what was in my mind when I wrote that code
2. To allow me to work on different machines. For example I have an app where some of the work I do is directly on my staging server (long story). It's nice to be able to commit and pull there and to my local workstation
3. So I can rollback to known good states. Doesn't happen often but has saved me a few times over the years!
Kind of serendipitous but I have been getting really into DSi, N3DS, and PSP hacking recently and just watched this video last night. Take a look. I think it will blow your mind. I didn't make this video, of course.

At least in men, there is a very clear mechanism. If you have excess body fat, your aromatase may be overexpressed, and if so, you will convert more of your testosterone to estradiol. This interacts with the hypothalamus' negative feedback loop, lowering your GnRH, (and therefore your LH/FSH) making you less fertile and lowering your testosterone until homeostasis is achieved.
I get your points, however:

> Your John Carmack example betrays our age. His most important contributions to gaming (at least from a history perspective) was early 90s Shareware/Apogee/Id era almost 30 years ago now, I don't expect my kids to know who he is.

First, Carmack is still relevant today. He still writes about tech, and he still takes part in groundbreaking tech developments. Here is for example a headline from 2019: https://www.engadget.com/2019-11-13-john-carmack-agi.html

It's relevant because he is a proven achiever, not just a "visionary" like we're used to in this industry. I'm similarly starting to read about people in tech/software who don't know who Stallman is! And I suppose eventually this will happen to Torvalds as well.

Second, are readers of HN "kids"? I used Carmack as an example of someone who readers here on HN occasionally don't know.

> People just want to play fun games and that's fine. We shouldn't discourage it on basis you "don't appreciate the history properly" or be ashamed of this.

That's ok. However, this happened in the comments section of a website which also has commentary and articles beyond "just playing games", and specifically in an article about videogame history. And Roberta Williams was a huge influence. I suppose in 30 years people will similarly ask, "Nintendo what?". It's sad, though I suppose inevitable.

Maybe not 6' but isn't dwarfism considered a medical condition?

> Or if being unattractive is a medical condition.

Again, most cases not, but things like crooked teeth, cleft lips, acne, etc that could be left alone but are frequently treated because they reduce quality of life are considered medical conditions.

I buy the argument that "medical condition" can carry heavy negative connotations, especially for minority populations, but still believe anything that requires medical intervention (like hormone therapy but especially reassignment surgery) qualifies. We should just attack the stigma.

Yea I missed the point. Everyone I’ve ever met who went to a community college did it specifically to learn job skills since those are what all the programs were for. I didn’t know they taught things just for the sake of knowledge or personal interest.
That ECMA (via ECMA-404) and IETF (via RFC 8259, and before that RFC 7159) have subtly incompatible standards with the same title is annoying; perhaps we need to talk about “IETF JSON” (or “application/json”, as it is expressly the basis of the MIME type) vs “ECMA JSON”.

I can tell you that I have had dreams that I have mistaken for reality. In fact some of those dreams became normal memories that I have to filter because they never actually happened.

I've been able to read magazines, have full conversations with multiple people, stare at a brick wall and notice all the little pits. It does not happen every day, but maybe a couple times a month. I used to have severe sleep apnea and those were the most intense dreams. So I don't think it's possible to extrapolate your own experience to others. The mind already constructs a model of reality, so why wouldn't it be able to in a dream state?
I think this extends outside of Python. Performance and safety are trade offs, not absolutes, and the balance of needing safety or performance vs extensibility vs ease of development may result in dozens or hundreds of different trade off needs in different parts of a single application.

One consequence is that it never makes sense to use static typing or compilation as application-wide absolutes for any language or paradigm.

You should virtually never be writing whole applications in Rust, C, C++, Java, Haskell, etc. It is a huge sign of bad premature optimization and dogmatism. Compiling subsets in these languages and then exposing them through extension modules in other languages that don’t force those constant trade offs is almost always superior, and it’s very telling about poor engineering culture when this results in debates or vitriolic dismissiveness from people with prior dogmatic commitments to static typing or AOT compilation.
You’re right. I consider chemically extracted the default, but I should have been explicit that I didn’t mean mechanically expressed seed oils.
Ever see the TED talk about a drone with a shaped charge using it to 'kill' a dummy enemy? Make no bones about it, mikitary all over saw that. They can use a gyrojet type rocket pistol with ~ 15-20 rounds and an aimer. gyrojets use a small spin stabilised cartridge - no barrel, no breech, just a light guide tube. It could easily be made to find people via and eyeball retroreftector target finder - of course, warriors would soon wear goggles, but large numbers of people could be harmed. Each one would weigh under a pound and fly for ~30 minutes, or sit and perch for targets for longer. This is with today's tech - in 20 years ???
> Pushing technology that enforces your ideology is a horrible idea.

But that's what we're all doing. By being "against AI ethics", you are effectively pushing technology that enforces _your_ ideology.

Your ideology seems to happen to be different than mine, but you would be naive to think that the status quo is somehow "ideology-free".

Do you still think it's a horrible idea? Try being a bit less deontological and a bit more consequentialist. Doing nothing has consequences too.
Yes, this is one variation of what is referred to as "in-slot cooling". Keep in mind that putting coolant inside the slot removes precious conductor cross-sectional area. There is a tradeoff to be analyzed, and in some situations it can make sense. However, in-slot cooling does lock you in to having a liquid cooling system, whereas the design we currently use (coolant channels integrated into shared housing) could be modified to be air-cooled if it makes sense to do so.
Regardless of the underlying driver to implement it, we've solved some of the concerns that GP mentions for ground-assist launches, so there is a body of experience/work we can easily build upon.

I have bought about 8 DSi/DSi XL, a Phat DS, an SP, and a GBA over the last few months and never paid more than 80 for any of them. The average price for a used Phat DS or DSi on eBay is $50 bucks in my experience. It's extremely easy to hack the DSi as well.
Yes and no. The traditional goal of a parser that accepts valid inputs, and rejects invalid inputs is well understood.

A more relevant goal of error-tolerant parsers that can respond quickly to incremental changes is still a wide research problem.

> with a single third party login for all services, though, if that third party account gets compromised the results are catastrophic.

The same can be said of the password manager account. It's turtles all the way down.

The fact that we rely on users to not reuse passwords, the fact that using a password manager is all but required to get reasonable security despite being far from convenient, these indicate a major failure to serve the actual needs of users, in my view.

Users have head space for 1-3 strong passwords. They can tolerate carrying maybe 1 security token with them. They can tolerate a little bit of security setup when using a new device for the first time, and they can tolerate a touch or fingerprint scan at authentication time. All authentication systems can and should operate within these parameters.

No web site or app outside of an authentication provider should ever present a user a screen asking them to pick a strong password that they have never used before. That is asking a user to do something that the human brain cannot reasonably do for 99% of the population. At best, a browser or password manager will intervene at that point and pick the password for them. At worst, the user ignores the warning and picks the same password they use for everything else.

Tape drives rented for about $1000 a month ($9000 in current dollars). Tape drives were pretty common because they could hold much more data than cards. However, everyone used cards for data input because you couldn't enter data directly onto cards. Sorting was tricky on tape drives; you typically needed 4 drives. Cards were also more reliable since it's pretty hard to destroy a card unless you burn it. (Even if someone rips up a card, you just look at it and punch a new one.)

IBM's documentation explains how the cards work in detail. I've put the information for each card online. For instance, the CW card in the article is described here: http://righto.com/sms/CW

At some point you need to hold people accountable when they defy the intent of the law.

That something must be kept secret does not mean the rationale for why it must be kept secret must also be. For example you don't need to tell me any secrets about how nuclear weapons are designed to convince me that nuclear weapon design software should not be open source. Even in cases where the devil is in the details and the discussion of whether something should be secret requires an understanding of those secrets, independent auditors with the proper qualifications and clearances can be appointed to validate the need for secrecy, and either they or the officials who appointed them can be publicly scrutinized.

Every system complicated enough to require decision making is open to potential abuse by the decision makers. The entire purpose of democratically elected leaders is to make sure those who would commit such abuses don't have the opportunity to do so for very long. If no one suffers any consequences for skirting a law, why even have laws to begin with?

Stackless coroutines can call other functions just fine (they would completely unusable otherwise). What they can't do is delegate suspension to any called function, i.e. any called function must return before the coroutine can yield as exactly one activation frame (the top level) can be suspended.
I use VPN to protect my data and bypass all restrictions. I think it's a must have tool these days for every Internet user. I found vpn on https://veepn.com/unblock-websites/ it doesn't cost much but provides a high level of security and help to get access to the blocked sites.
I am not qualified to make any technical arguments. There’s a strong security and tech-managerial argument for using the software that’s aligned to the reference implementation. Obviously cython is currently the better choice for risk-adverse organizations that need compiled Python. But I think C-ish level people have a good reason to trust the stability, longevity, and security of a product built by the “most official” Python folks. There would need to be a deeply compelling technological reason to choose cython, not merely chasing a few wasted cycles or nifty features.

Obviously organizations that don’t manage human lives or large amounts of money can use ‘riskier’ tools without as much worry. This isn’t an argument against cython generally. But I worked at a hospital and wrote a lot of Python, and would not have been able to get the security team to support cython on their SELinux servers without a really good argument. Cython is just an unnecessary liability when your job manages identifiers and medical details on servers accessible on a fairly wide (albeit private) network.
Aggregators provide value to consumers and leech it from content creators, I don't see how that is contradictory. They are overall value creators. The OP and most others in this thread are trying to think about this as a consensual business transaction when it's actually just a tax on the externality that is created by the tragedy of the commons that aggregators use.

And you need the gazillion things on top of a grammar. Error recovery, IDE, language server, formatter, all the memory bugs, all the semantics that's not described in a formal language (and you can't auto-generate code to check or request it), all the binding generators for other languages and linking conventions... Ugh I wish we had a standard tool for that, like a much much much expanded yacc + interpreter generator + batteries included... There's something with libadalang and its language-agnostic tooling langkit (https://github.com/AdaCore/lang kit) that is very seducing (write once generate much code).

CNN knowingly misleads the public every single day. It's effectively public knowledge if anyone cares to investigate themselves.

Going after FOX because the ruling party disagrees with them, but leaving CNN alone is the definition of authoritarian, regardless of your views. You can't single out voices.

Further, who owns CNN? (Turner Broadcasting System)

Who owns Turner Broadcasting System? (WarnerMedia)

Who owns WarnerMedia? (AT&T)

Interesting... so AT&T is being lobbied not to carry its competition, while leaving its own broadcasting alone.

> I thought it was traced to a freak statewide ice storm

Just off the top of my head, two things you should keep in mind in your future efforts to understand cause and effect:

- any event/effect can have multiple causes
- causes can be proximal, distal, or collocated

This is why we emphasize root cause analysis (RCA) when we analyze software failures. It turns out that this technique is broadly applicable to, well, almost anything else
There might be some truth to this, though I don't know whether we have conscious control of it.

> What if I told you Git can be a valuable tool without ever setting up a remote repository?

Even if you don't set up a public repository, having a remote one can be a good idea. The .git folder is surprisingly easy to trash. Any box with SSH access works, and GitHub/GitLab offer private projects that you don't have to configure further than a name.

My latest mistake was running 'rclone sync', which it turns out deletes files missing from the source without confirmation contrary to rsync.
I always understood the security of block-chains as a race between the good and the bad agents.

Both are extending their respective chains as fast as they can. A bad-agent, who wishes to double-spend has to rewrite history, and therefore has to start a few step behind the good agent. To succeed, the bad agent has to overtake the good agent.

Even if both have the same speed (i.e. 50% computational power each), the good agent will sill be a few steps ahead of the bad agent, and the system is secure. If the bad agent is faster(51%), then eventually it will overtake the good agent breaking security.

This is true even if the cost of computation is zero (e.g. the Govt. pays for all your computation cost). As long as the bad agent doesn't have 51% or more of the computational power, the system is secure.
