See, you seem to think what is required is a 100% shut off. If the US government could kill 70% of access within its borders tomorrow, the technology would not have a bright future.

>Bitcoin already processes more reliably and with greater transactions than Fedwire.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean seeing as it has no empirical content, but it's beside the point. You can't do shit with Bitcoin. USD is the reserve currency of the world. That's what matters right now, not what you consider to be technologically superior.
Off the top of my head, I don't truly know, but I would bet it's a very small fraction. Let's find out...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Recycling

> Recycling involves melting the scrap, a process that requires only 5% of the energy used to produce aluminium from ore, though a significant part (up to 15% of the input material) is lost as dross (ash-like oxide).[134] An aluminium stack melter produces significantly less dross, with values reported below 1%.

That amount seems to fit with my amateur experience of melting aluminum cans. Dross pretty much floats up to the top of the molten aluminum, and you basically just scrape it off. Even bar stock aluminum from Home Depot would produce a small amount of it.

According to this page, aluminum is separated from dross in a separate process:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_recycling#Secondary_...

So yeah, the loss is non-zero, but the the recyclability of aluminum might as well be considered infinite, especially in contrast to plastics.
If you have password rotations forced in Office 365, it will actually prompt you at the admin page with a recommendation to turn them off. There's documentation here:

Current research strongly indicates that mandated password changes do more harm than good

I find it's incredibly hard to remember to consistently talk about them properly. Who you are (identity) informing what you can do (role) is contextual.
Just going to say, if you've been beached, you've pretty much done for anyway.

The focus should be on preventing a security breach, not what to do after its happened.
The problem for the `if/else` case is that we need to identify the trait that both arms should be coerced to, and that set could potentially be huge, and any suggestion should skip things like std::fmt::Display. That's why the suggestion I showed earlier only works on tail expressions, we can get the type from the return type and work from there, and even account for someone writing `-> Trait` and suggest all the appropriate changes.

I just filed https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84346 to account for some cases brought up and I completely agree with your last sentence. It is something that others and I have been doing piecemeal for a while now and would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) to file tickets for things like these at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/
I actually had to add 'clubhouse' as one of my muted words on Twitter. It still kept popping up, but yes, since April I haven't heard anything about it outside of HN.
Turning off mandatory rotation without strengthening other controls would simply allow users to keep their weak password (Spring2021! or {CompanyName}2021!) for a longer period of time.
Bingo.

And it's not even the exploitation. Believe it or not, it's the fact that there is no one to hold liable if things go wrong. At root, it's about on which head does liability rest. You don't meet code, firefighters rush in, and the staircase collapses. Who do the cops and the firefighters go after? If it's the owner of the SRO, then no real estate investor will build one. (At least, not one that isn't up to code.) You can try to loosen the code, but the firefighters are only going to allow you to cut so much before their unions have your picture up on billboards around town as the big, bad, slumlord pushing for substandard housing.

Owning a lot of real estate is not a picnic, and you learn a lot of things you never knew before about how local politics work.

> A market failure occurs whenever the individuals in a group end up worse off than if they had not acted in perfectly rational self-interest. Such a group either incurs too many costs or receives too few benefits.

> Even though the concept seems simple, it can be misleading and easy to misidentify.

> Contrary to what the name implies, market failure does not describe inherent imperfections in the market economy

> Additionally, not every bad outcome from market activity counts as a market failure.

As I say, I think he's using it in a very much more colloquial manner: "I don't like the outcome of the market process", which is fine.
While I believe that masks do help reduce the spread of viruses, I'll play along that there is no science to back up that statement.

Humans do not only do things because they "make sense" / "scientifically proven", many times we just do it because its low effort and helps make other people feel comfortable.

Its like smiling when you see a stranger, or saying good morning to someone. There is no sense to it, you don't plan to stop and chat. However, it breeds a comfort (and eventually a distant camaraderie) because a greeting means a lot to them. Typically a greeting signals (sometimes falsely) a lack of malicious intent.

Given they are a team all sitting in the same room, even if one of them is more comfortable with masks on (logically or illogically), its just a kind thing to do for each other. Much like choosing to keep your cellphone off in a theatre, choosing not to smoke while in a group on non-smokers (outdoors or indoors), choosing to let everyone else exit an elevator before you, or choosing to respond to a comment you know is likely better left ignored :).

I wish you the best of luck in the future, and hope (masks or no masks - whatever strategy to help others you choose to use) you use some small amount of your time/effort to help make other people's lives a bit more comfortable.
Which is why TIPS were created -- at maturity TIPS pay the greater of the principle adjusted for inflation or the principle without adjustment (so if there is an extended period of deflation you will still get back the amount you put in, and thus benefit from the deflation). TIPS also pay interest, and the coupon is adjusted for inflation as well.
BIP-39, uses 2048 words, and can all be distinguished from each other using the first four characters of each word.
This is used to encode raw binary entropy, but adapting it to arbitrary amounts of data is straightforward. For padding I would suggest either pre-encoding length at the start or using classic block cipher padding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_(cryptography) )

If I remember correctly, they found many bugs in the Toyota software which could cause unintended acceleration and also could cause braking to be ignored. This report has some info: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_...

PS: I had a Prius during this time. Even after selling it, without experiencing any acceleration issues, Toyota wrote me a $2k check to agree to never sue them.

It’s not like Karen doesn’t have a point. I live in Ballard and our property crime rate has skyrocketed ever since the homeless camps took over a few parks. One camp over in the U district is even famous for hosting a bicycle chop shop where components are stripped from stolen bikes, which the SPD won’t do anything about. Not wanting drug needles and smashed car windows in your backyard really isn’t unreasonable.

There are no easy solutions to these problems, at anyrate. We will all have to make a few trade offs, but they have to be more reasonable than dumping all of the problem in a few places.
Follow your leader and delete yourself.

Huh, why does this still exist if there's VS Code?
Thank you, yes but he does not address the peer reviewed paper, which is much more convincing in my opinion. And he does not do so because it's conclusions are not trivially debunked.

The majority of movement happens in the last few seconds of the video which the paper analyses. The tracker may have lost track, but as a reference the non-moving bars are still valid and we get heading information from the video as well, so a movement of the plane cannot be ruled completely but we know that if any movement happened it was within known bounds of less then a few degrees of angle at most.

If you take the time to read the paper you will see that they estimate the lowest possible acceleration of the object which ranges from 50% above what a tomahawk missile can endure to something insane like 5000g of acceleration.

This is all still non-conclusive but to state that the object isn't moving at all after the careful statistical analysis of the paper requires a lot more then just a few vague hypothesis without any math to back it up to be convincing. Again, i can only recommend reading the paper it's much more detailed then i could be in a comment.

Besides, i don't mind his analysis he's right about the new "pyramid ufos" beyond any reasonable doubt. He is also right about the gofast video, his math is trivial to validate, though no one who made the video has ever claimed the object actually went fast. It's just the video title.

As for the gimbal video, we don't know much about the events surrounding it, and while it does look like an exhaust rotating due to the camera system, there's still a lot unexplained there. The comments of the pilot on tape "it's going a 140 knots against the wind" and "look at the ASA there's a whole fleet of them" are interesting. Again nothing conclusive but without detailed sensor data and context, his explanation is no more or less convincing then no explanation at all. We simply don't know.

On the other hand, we do know a lot about the flir video and the context it happened in and as far as i'm concerned a peer reviewed paper trumps a science commentators vague hypothesis until we have either more data to confirm one hypothesis or the other or an error is spotted in either hypothesis.
What you're describing doesn't match the GNOME HIG. Buttons should actually be on the bottom for dialogs that require you to read through and then make a choice: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/dialogs.html.en

The buttons should only placed in the headers for other dialogs that require more explicit actions before the dialog can be dismissed, such as the file selection dialog.
It was NYC. (Manhattan.) And they didn't have separate entrances for subsidized units, they had separate entrances for wealthy penthouse owners who really did have greater security concerns than the run of the mill residents living on lower floors. People who can afford a 20 to 50 million dollar penthouse do think long and hard about security.

But the masses simply ignored the service provision aspect and screamed "Why do you guys have a poor people door!?!?!"

> a dictionary word followed by the number 23. Eventually the password failed, and he gave me his new password: that same dictionary word followed by a 24.

In a similar vein, over the past few years whenever I've got in a discussion with IT people who defend mandatory password change policies, I ask them to give me the last password they were using before changing it. No one has ever taken me up on that.
This been Google's guidance for even longer time, if not forever. I worked at Google for a year and was very surprised about that. Before that I had to find ways to memorize the new password every 60-90 days.
Got you! ;) HN for X in terms of functionality, def not in terms of lightweight execution :)
I don't think the images are a problem. Like the other commenter said i think it's the use of whitespace. The story feed seems quite narrow compared to hn. There's lots of deadspace to either side. I think you could increase the usage of space while not compromising on the images.

Please too, put the subscribe thing at the bottom of the page, not the middle. That just reminded me of a midpage banner add. It disrupted the reading flow very obviously.

It's a terrible spot for it.

Why does one preclude another?

One can be intellectually curious while also being emotionally charged and passionate.

There is genuinely outrageous behaviour out there in the world. China is orchestrating a modern genocide. Russia is maneuvering to violate international sovereignty. The USA has a humanitarian crisis at its border. And there is a climate change emergency being mostly ignored. It's reasonable to have an emotional charge to all these discussions even while looking for logical solutions to these problem.

The other issue is that a lot of people don't classify behaviours as "emotional" consistently. The prototypical example is feminine expressions ("tears") are deemed emotional while masculine expressions ("anger") are not.

That may seem ludicrous but it happens on this site too. People will go on tense emotion-laden tirades defending personal freedom or outrage over the treatment of <insert problematic public figure>, and they are heavily upvoted and deemed "intellectually curious". While those that are pointing out the problematic behaviour and the impact it may have had through heartfelt experience stories are deemed "emotionally charged".
More powerful debugging, more mature UI development tools, does a bit more for you.
When it uses even 3GB (open a 100 project sln) it’s excruciatingly slow as it is. It’s also already not limited to 4GB because it consists of multiple processes. I can’t see how being able to use 10GB or 20GB in the main process will help.
I started coding in the UK in assembler on tiny 64k machines and cavalier heroic coding to save space and cycles was the norm. I moved to the US coding in C and while there was no shortage of clever heroic coding, simple brute force approaches were usually tried first. Nowadays, most of the heroism is bundled in the toolset.
I love VS Code but it's no replacement for Visual Studio when developing .NET apps.
Realistically, with the health issues coming up, the microplastics leaching into everything, and the energy-intensive process of reusing plastic, I think we should give up on recycling plastic completely. Bury it back in the oil holes we got it from (this is semi-sarcastic, I know burying it in such a way is not entirely feasible) in the first place below the bedrock and end the age of plastic.
It does a ton more than VS Code, especially for large Windows applications and C++ stuff.

Ok, so I have to hope that the guys managing my 401K act more rationally, e.g. slower to jump on these stocks and slower to get out of mainstream assets. I guess that's not guaranteed but I would hope they know better than to invest in this deli.
One thing I've noticed is that when people are new one of the first things they complain about is the voting system. I've seen a lot of green names recently, so there probably needs to be some concerted effort to educate users on what they're voting for rather than redefining the system.

Visual Studio supports some legacy technologies that VSCode likely won't ever support well.

Even ASP.NET Core which was specifically designed to allow development exclusively from the terminal, still offers a better experience in the full VS Than VSCode (even if JavaScript/CSS/TS/etc part is arguably better in VSCode, the C#/.Net side is better in VS).

But long term: I anticipate VS being a life-support product for that legacy tech and VSCode being the only IDE they move forward with. We just aren't quite there yet.
why are we treating HN like a monolith?
The article is interesting, but the title is click bait:

“So where does that leave us in our central question of which language is the hardest to understand from visual cues? “The short answer is, we don’t know,” says Masapollo.”
Thank you. I've used it, although it adds a lot of complexity for the same features than a folder full of manuals would give.

I'm probably too set in my ways, but I prefer references that are always available offline. Devdocs.io once in a blue moon would forget about my choices, and I would hate to redownload them.

Having good COGS data is also helpful within a business to measure the profitability of different products: e.g. one brand vs another, or shirts vs pants. But it's one of the hardest things to measure. Partly that's from the imprecision around the concept, partly from the complexity of the calculation (FIFO vs LIFO etc---the stuff the article said it was going to skip), and partly because it's not clear how to allocate some costs between products. And it can take a lot of manual data input work to track it all.

There is a funny section of The Data Warehouse Toolkit by Ralph Kimball (the leading person behind the data warehouse consulting industry) where he says you should make sure to build the COGS data mart last, after you've already finished some easier projects and won the trust of the client, because it is the messiest and hardest, and also the most political. And when you do finally build it, v1 should be based on "rules of thumb". (Technically he advises building the profitability data mart last, but I think it's clear he's attributing the difficulties to the cost side, not the revenue side.)

I once had a customer ask me to add COGS to their in-house ERP system, and I never even got started because they just couldn't answer simple questions about how they wanted it calculated.

This is a fun read but IMO it falls into the common trap of trying to formalize concepts in music theory based on a representation too close to traditional music notation. A notable consequence of this trap is that the author has to do a lot of distracting work to handle enharmonics, and yet still has arbitrary limits on number of flats and sharps. In other words, he has to do a lot of distracting work, and still all that work doesn't yield a general system.

In my opinion (and experience) it is better to do a little work "up front" and "in the back" to convert to the line-of-fifths representation since that is more friendly to formalization. In other words you can take input in traditional musical notation and give output in traditional musical notation, but "in the middle," formalization should be done in the line-of-fifths representation.

Above I have used "formalize" to mean something like "mathematicize" (if that's a word) or "be precise" or "be able to compute" or "be able to express in a programming language (like Python)". For example, I consider the line-of-fifths representation to be a good one in which to formalize music theory because in line-of-fifths representation, transposition can simply be formalized as integer addition, and integer addition needs no further explanation or formalization, i.e. it can be taken as sort of axiomatic.

Here's another way of putting it: if you wanted to be able to add Roman numeral strings, would you write code that directly operated on the Roman numeral strings, or would you first convert to a compute-friendly representation like integers, and then do your adding from there? No doubt there are tradeoffs involved, but I tend to think that it is usually worth it to move to a compute-friendly representation, both with Roman numerals and music notation.

An added benefit of line-of-fifths representation is it provides a good basis to formalize many important historical European tuning systems.
