I didn't get a stimulus check but I similarly bought a decent SecretLab chair for me and my wife once COVID hit and I absolutely love it.

Until the pandemic, I rarely used my desk at home, so it just had a cheapy desk chair I got on Amazon years ago, but once it became my main "office", it became clear that a cheap chair going to really hurt my back and butt if I used it multiple hours a day.
Boycott Republicans and stop working for them
> So does any physical computer.

That's technically true, but it misses the point rather badly. The size of the problem that a prism can accept as input is constrained by the physical size of the prism. The size of the problem that a computer can accept as input is constrained only by time. So yes, technically, the universe will eventually undergo heat death and so the amount of time available is finite, but that's just not very interesting.
The idea would be to allow Heroku working independently while offering their solution at literally AWS cost (without all the discount), or even AWS Graviton2 cost.

This would pretty much directly compete with Linode and DO on a value proposition. And a lock in to AWS ecosystem.
Lifepack: Biodegradable plates that can be planted (Spanish)
My "desk" is actually four stations that I switch between.

1. Gas arm mounted monitor over the floor for lying supinated.

2. Floor desk with a backrest.

3. Rocking chair with a lap desk.

4. Prone using a laptop.

I also switch between various wireless peripherals as I switch between stations.

Of the four I'd say the floor desk is actually the best long term one because it's easy to shift position when working wirelessly, but the desk and mounting solution I have isn't quite tall enough to hold my gaze forward. Still, it's fine for a day.

It's in the article:

"For sites that don’t yet support HTTPS, Chrome will fall back to HTTP when the HTTPS attempt fails."

I hope the slippery slope stops here though and HTTP will not be eradicated in browsers (in which case one would need corporate permission and approval to publish anything).

s_client or curl are not a suitable workarounds for the masses ...

Possibly - I've had issues with my banking app, gmail app and some other ones. This started on Monday morning, so if the timing fits, maybe that's the cause.

You can try applying the fix, see if that works.
If anyone is interested in a gadgety solution to improving posture, I was convinced by this engineer/wife-guy's review to try this sticky sensor that detects if you're sitting upright, and concur — it's quite good!

https://www.ryanandalex.com/upright-go-2-review/

[edit] Like an idiot I charged into this conversation with reading the article, which mentions it but not in any serious detail. So anyway, if you're curious, do read this review, it's got graphs and metrics and all that goodness.
(a) Consumer confidence wasn't high in the first place

(b) This wasn't without reason. AZ has significantly more severe side effects and is less effective.

(c) That said, I'd certainly still take it, it is highly effective at preventing the worst outcomes.

(d) That said, the whole "consumer confidence" narrative is a canard. Its effects don't come anywhere near the effect of the delivery shortfalls. It's so totally ridiculous that it does make me wonder where it is coming from.
Where’s the article? On mobile it just cuts off at “ HawkEye’s satellites could pinpoint these renegades by listening for faint signals emanating from their navigation radars and radio communications”.
I thought "Zero trust" meant nodes that are linked among the LAN should be treated the same as nodes linked among the WAN - e.g. ideally no unencrypted and unauthenticated traffic even on LAN links, and no lack of authentication, lack of encryption, or assignment of privilege just because your IP is in the same subnet or is in a private subnet.
Your average commuter has no input on city design or the minutiae of the cost/profit ratios involved in building the city. The blame should instead lay with those who incentivize profit over city improvement.

I would rather they did overlook incredible founders. Getting a rejection shouldn't mean you were judged not to be ready. It was also nice when there could be only a couple Launch HN's a week, at most.

Firefox offers HTTPS Mode, which converts all HTTP links to HTTPS first, A HREFs, stuff you type into the URL bar, everything, then if that fails it generates an interstitial page explaining what went wrong with a button to get the unencrypted HTTP site if that's available.

But that's optional (I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who doesn't seem clear on what HTTPS versus HTTP means for example) and far more invasive, though in exchange it delivers more practical security if you understand what's going on. I've enabled it, I have mentioned it to IT people I know socially, I wouldn't suggest my mother or sister try it.
i was amazed when i looked into it. brave did it, safari had it hidden in the developer menu, chrome: nope. i figured there was something to be gained for them.

ultimately there arent too many sites you type out much of an endpoint for, but "old.reddit.com/r/ihaveembarrassingsecrets" or whatever is a big one.
So this looks like signs that after getting a boat load of money from their VCs, promising to be a "better github", the VCs have realized that they have been played. So it looks like the gitlab team has been asked to pursue other avenues to widen their horizons and get some returns for the VC investments. So they go from "we will be better github" to "we will be better heroku".

How will they do that? "Productized apps for hyperscale cloud". What does that mean? It's a bunch of buzz words our marketing and sales team invented.

Its why I think so many people in the startup community say get users right away instead of making the perfect thing - those users interest and needs sustain you when you are just too bored and disgusted with all that crap.

I have in a 140k city 500/50, up to 1000/50 are possible. No caps, 47 EUR/month. It is not stellar, but certainly more than enough for my needs.

I would say Germany was hurt a lot though the de-facto monopoly of the Telekom and DSL, relying on copper wires. Telekom had even after privatisation a monopoly on the last mile and 0 motivation to invest. It is only when the internet over TV Cable became popular, they started to panic. They are still offering 250/50 DSL in some areas, but only if there is no TV Cable vendor. Otherwise they have no chance it is a lost battle for them. In my are DSL is only 16/2,4 because why bother to upgrade? They are not competitive.

Other problem in Germany is that the landlord decides which providers he lets in his house - it is usually one and only one TV Cable vendor, if multiple vendors are operating in the area.
Yes, it's "anthropomorphism". It's an analogy.
Can I be a file?
FireWire 400 was a great connector! I resisted using FW for the longest time mostly because the cables were more expensive and less common than USB. Once most of my computers had it it started to make more sense for faster file transfers and external drives. They were so much easier to plug in without looking than USB, but the FW800 and mini connector went to a more rectangular shape and somewhat lost that advantage.

I never ended up getting a camera or anything else that supported FW, but USB always seemed to work well enough for my (relatively light) use case.

This is interesting. Have you got any more information/literature? I really need to find a solution.
Sure, he overhypes, but already Falcon 9 is cheaper than all others and precisely because of reuse. I don't see how to deny this. Oh sure, SpaceX is a privately held corporation so we don't really know the real numbers and maybe he's just underpricing to convince the world he's right even though he's wrong, or something. But there's a reason ULA and others are getting into the reuse game, and it's that rocket engines are unbelievably expensive, so if you just reuse those you save a huge amount on costs. The evidence is overwhelming that reusing rocket engines is a huge savings. It must follow that reusing the whole launch vehicle would be a bigger savings.
No it's not possible. The thing that makes Sars-Cov-2 unique is its binding site in the human body. Sars-Cov-2 binds to the ACE2 receptor, which is found in just about every organ in your body. Unlike many other viruses which target receptors more localized to e.g. your throat/airway, Sars-Cov-2 can infect cells in your nasal cavity, stomach, lungs, heart, olfactory neurons, you name it. And every cell it infects will be destroyed; either by bursting to release the viral replicas, or by an immune system response.

Which, alas, is how we get kids at Harvard chasing a couple decimal points on a dead end path instead of doing something useful. I'm actually a bit perplexed as to why anyone thinks extending the laser method to improve the fourth decimal point is worth the effort. No one will ever implement this thing, and no one believes it actually brings us closer to an actual solution to the exponent 2 conjecture. So seems entirety like a way for phd students to cut their teeth, perhaps? But ultimately not much more helpful than finding the next digit of pi.

All three of those can be true in a city.

America largely identifies itself as a capitalist country. Our defeat of "communism" and its replacement with "capitalism" is something America is still quite proud of - even here on HN.

Relevant to this problem (walkable cities and the motivations to or not to create them), capitalism and profit as a motivation for everything go pretty much hand-in-hand.
Linus Torvalds on where Rust will fit into Linux
Quality pun.
It's not officially supported yes but having actually done it multiple times for multiple projects I don't see how it's not straightforward.

- You do the linking yourself, so that you can pass the flags to produce the kind of library you want. This is something the Crystal compiler helps with (it spits out the LDFLAGS that you need).

- Calling `GC.init` when your library is loaded if you want to use garbage collection seems a bit obvious in its necessity. Using `GC.free` to free memory that has gone beyond Crystal boundaries follows naturally (and most libraries have custom `free_*` functions to clean up complex objects).

The main complexity you have to write a C-friendly API for the library, but that's something that you have to do with C++ and so on as well
All of .dev is covered by HSTS pre-loading. So even if you explicitly type http://web.dev/ you are going to actually navigate to https://web.dev/ because that's how HSTS is defined. If you want a site that isn't encrypted in browsers then an entire TLD which is specifically secured is the wrong place to build that site.
If n^2 is possible then it would be possible for a given n, say 4. Can't it be shown by example or exhaustive search that this is or isn't possible for 4?
you left out the most interesting tidbit: these boards were hand stitched!
I think its also important to mention that these results are for the multiplication of two general dense matrices and full floating point accuracy. If your matrix is structured (sparse, sparse in the Fourier domain, low rank, H, HSS, etc) you can usually exploit that structure to break up the multiplication and reduce the work complexity dramatically. (These rely on building blocks of the dense general matrix results)

What a time for the Linux community to have dropped even their pensive LibreSSL support. Void? Switched back. Anything Debian-based using LibreSSL? Appears dead in the water from what I can find.

Even compile-your-own-OS Gentoo has rolled back any support.

All because large projects like Qt (the widget project) decided to force OpenSSL users to be fully up to date.

Turns out, the legacy calls to OpenSSL were how replacement TLS libraries managed to maintain wide compatibility. And losing compatibility for upcoming Qt6? Was a death knell.

Then again, the OpenBSD folks' choice to avoid implementing TLS3 really didnt help us here.

Finding their team almost as dev-starved as OpenSSL was during the heartBleed days? Has slowed their ability to catch up to the api of OpenSSL. And i wonder if thats same starvation prompted the anti-TLS3 stance.
I think it’s reasonable to be more optimistic than you put it. Qubit counts and qubit fidelity have been increasing at a remarkable rate. Just five years ago we could barely eek out a handful of qubits, and when we did, they’d be bad. Google’s quantum supremacy result is a testament to that. (At this stage, whether they actually demonstrated the “supreme” part of supremacy is, imho, irrelevant. They’ve demonstrated a much larger, controllable, programmable quantum computer and measured its quality characteristics accurately.)

Of course, I’m saying it’s reasonable to be more optimistic, not that we have a proof we will certainly be able to scale to enormous machine sizes. But it’s definitely more than “speculative physics”: real machines have been built and demonstrated to exhibit truly measurable quantum effects that allow for programmable computation.

(To be sure, there is hype, there is a lot of cash sloshing around, and there are totally bogus claims some companies are publicly making.)
The preprocessor will still be run prior to hdoc parsing your code, and the result should be valid assuming the your code is well-formed. C++ AST dumps are generally incomprehensible ;)

Please do try hdoc. The source is now available and there are precompiled binaries available on hdoc.io. It takes about 2 minutes to go from downloading hdoc to seeing your documentation on a website if you use the latter route.
You can just use a VPN to sign up. Works perfectly (with no VPN) after that.
>Jane Jacobs liked the idea of cities developing organically according to what people want

I like a lot of Jacobs' ideas. I'm also somewhat amused when a lot of people (not saying you) praise her because she fought back against NYC highway plans. But the fact that she liked cities to develop along the lines of what the community wants sounds a lot like NIMBYism which many of the same people oppose as well.
Not the GP, but I think they mean that there has been no point in hedging (hence "hedge fund") risk in the world of Fed-driven asset prices. If the Fed has your back to BTFD every time (and just look at the S&P 500 since the Covid crash -- a 30% loss was made up for in just six months), why bother trying to seek alpha to beat the market by trying to buy under-appreciated assets and sell over-appreciated ones? Just buy everything. And if you still want alpha, you just apply leverage. This last part leads to big volatility whenever there is a trigger.

What has cryptography got to do with p!=np ?
I think if you could somehow start computing the resultant matrix elements as soon as you read a row/column from the input ones, you could reach their "physically possible" limit.

A couch expert on computer architecture here, but a large enough systolic array could be used to achieve their "physically possible" limit? [0]

New CUDA GPUs have been coming with these tensor cores that are just systolic arrays. Google's TPU are the same.

Could someone with more knowledge on systolic arrays comment on whether a large systolic array can achieve this?

I'm an architect / urban planner who used to live in Phoenix (Tempe, actually). There's absolutely no reason a city in that kind of environment can't be walkable, even in the height of summer. There are two key components:

First, you don't just need mixed-use, but density of mixed-use. This is why London, where I now live, is walkable. There's a good cafe within 2 minutes of my doorstep. A doctor's office and a grocery store and a bakery within 3 minutes. A park and a pub and several more shops within 4 minutes. A hardware store within 5 minutes. I very rarely am required to walk for as long as 10 minutes. Even in an environment like Phoenix, these distances would be perfectly walkable. I've also spent time in Reykjavik in January, and found it quite walkable for exactly the same reason. This has nothing at all to do with climate.

Second, what does have to do with climate is shade. Currently, cities like Phoenix are actually much hotter than the surrounding desert, due to the "urban heat island" effect. This is primarily driven by the abundance of asphalt and other high-thermal-mass, low-albedo surfaces. But cities don't need to be designed this way. If you look at traditional Middle eastern urban design, you can find cities that actually create "urban cool islands", and are (relatively) livable without air conditioning. Key components of these techniques are:

- Very narrow roads / alleys, such that buildings are continuously shading each other and sunlight doesn't reach the ground

- roofs painted white to reflect the sunlight & heat back into space

- "cold sinks" to capture cool night air

- Wind catchers and various other devices to funnel prevailing winds into the alleyways, and to convert thermal updrafts into air movement even when there aren't winds, creating siphons to circulate air out of the cold sinks

- courtyards with pools and vegetation to create evaporative cooling from the moving air.

These techniques and others have been well-understood for several thousand years. They're detailed in a lovely book by Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy, called "Natural Energy and Vernacular Architecture". Highly recommended.

However, all of the above is incompatible with low-density development and streets that can carry large amounts of vehicles. The former precludes the necessary density of services, and the latter precludes any of the environmental adaptations that are necessary to make the desert livable. But these are man-made planning choices, not dictates of the environment. Those choices can be un-made.
Bombing the Discord interview to be one of the first hires hurt. It was the first time I interviewed for a company that fit my personal interests to a tee but I couldn’t write a web front end from scratch that could do a progressive loading bar before the end of the second interview session. It was embarrassing to be so dependent on my Google tooling that I couldn’t cut it when I was untethered from my work laptop.

Peaceful societies are not utopian fantasy. They exist
Whether or not it can be spread really depends on the representation you use.
Technically true; we own* such a place in Cambridge, MA. It's not something that's affordable for the median household income though. Structurally, I suspect it could never be, because the inherent low density required for that means that places nearest the city with that density will be bid up beyond what the median household can afford.

Which in turn means someone of median (or even 75th percentile) income who wants to buy a house with a yard big enough for kids to meaningfully play in isn't going to do so in Cambridge, but can readily do it in a number of suburbs within an hour's commuting distance of Cambridge/Boston.

* - or rather the bank owns more of it than we do and we’re slowly buying it from them...
