I never understood the proposed business model for asteroid mining. Maybe you mean the moon? Either way, getting stuff down is expensive. You would need to mine a lot of expensive stuff for it to be worthwhile. But if you dump a lot of stuff into a market, you might tank the price. (Yes, this is hand-waving. But I think the general points should hold.)
Actually, the initialization is completely random. The reason why it might seem too optimal is because the algorithm chooses the colors most similar to the image when rendering the triangles.
I have recently been warned by dang for one of my comment so I won't get into an argument here but I find this comment disgusting.
Entirely possible. I mentioned somewhere else in all of this grey text that I’ve been hearing this exact story for 25 years now and it doesn’t seem to get any easier to hear it from a new mouth.

Everybody says they’re going to do their new favorite thing forever and everybody either gets distracted, gets a new new favorite thing, or worst, gets shit on by life and has to backpedal. Just... Roll that good energy into literally anything else. Please.
How to take down big tech; web 3, crypto and decentralisation
Principles of Green Software Engineering
I was just wondering how many folk are aware of this site (and concept)?
I think we can all agree that the resources on earth are finite, I think we can also all agree that our population is increasing in an exponential rate (not that it should, but that it is).

As long as we dismiss the possibility of using our technology to use resources outside of earth we will be stuck fighting for a greater share of the diminishing resources on earth.

No matter how much you recycle there is only a finite amount of everything on earth.

Living on mars is less of a fantasy now than going to the moon was just 90 years ago. We have people living for extended periods of time in orbit, we already have the technology, we just don't have the economic base.

We expand or we go extinct that's how it is, you might not like it but that's how it is.

As far as the billionaires, dude, the billionaires have it awesome here on earth i don't think they will be moving.
I think they mean this - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_coal
I think another reason this did not happen is that the clubs who participated were not distributed well throughout Europe.
This also goes in terms of audience.

The ESL claims to be a league of the best, but the ranking it actually conforms to is a league of the "valuable, but in debt" teams (seriously, check the ranking on wikipedia).

If you'd want to have a closed league of the best teams, why are there (internationally speaking) third rate teams like Tottenham, whereas there were zero German or French teams?

What was the CL final last year? Bayern and PSG?

Well, you say, they tried to invite them. However, Bayern and PSG are interested in making money. Nobody in France or Germany would be happy with a league comprised mostly of British teams, calling itself "best in Europe".
How do you sell that to the largest countries in the EU?

One thing the premier league teams do better is international marketing. British teams are more likely to be known in China, India and the US. This is, in the end, where the money would come from.
Again, fewer incentives for French and German teams.

Nevertheless, if it would have gone past the pesky "legacy fans", it would have been profitable as a show competition for international audiences.

But it did not get past the local fans, because it did not even have the slightest plan of appeasing British fans, nor the slightest fan of inciting German and French teams to join.

It's discussed elsewhere why this was a transparent money grab. Perhaps more insulting is how badly it was executed!
It is not a zero-sum game, they're not mutually-exclusive. Space exploration has not moved an inch over decades, and in that period, many other sectors including wasteful ones have been negatively effecting climate. You complain just now, about this stagnated sector?

All that aside, this mentality of "stop fixing that! we have something else to fix" is mother of all toxic thoughts recently. Just do it yourself! Do something about it yourself.

Besides, if you care at all about sentient life. Becoming multi-planetary is an absolute must. As far as we can observe, there isn't any other sentient life in vicinity. It is an existential risk for humanity, just as the global warming. To some, it might sound like a distant scifi risk, but we are one thermonuclear war away from such an existential risk.
I hear you, though, even in Germany there are other separate police forces under different ministries, like the Zoll (customs and immigration), the Feldjaeger (military police), and Justizvollzug (correctional officers and prisoner transport) - and each one of them has SWAT-like teams in addition to the forces of state and federal police.

There are also a lot of other public officers with limited police powers and different reporting, just like in the US - officers of the courts, public health inspectors, the Ordnungsamt (public order office), forest rangers, officers of the bureau of standards etc.

Until a few decades ago, it was even more splintered, and the border police and railway police were only integrated into the federal police in the 1990s if I am not mistaken...

Not that I'm a big advocate of the players' economy or anything, but effectively a salary cap is a financial transfer from the players to the ownership, no?

Plus, I assume a salary cap wouldn't be EU compliant.
My take as an infrequent BSD OS analyst but a lifelong Linux OS analyst is that this is a GRSecurity redux.

Sad case of landmass breaking off into an island with a much smaller ecosystem befitting only the current biodiversity (or should I say, cyber-diversity).
It's a joke page, it's a way to get attention for environmental programs. Don't take it too literally.
Think you're focused on the wrong issue there. The most likely reason your child is unlikely to get into a good university is because good universities have consistently chosen not to increase class sizes in line with the number of qualified students apply, as a result your child is way less likely due to pure statistics to get in. That's because the schools are social institutions not academic ones.
That sounds to me like you're having an emotional / nostalgic response to things you were exposed to during your youth. And there is some kind of novelty to watching older commercials, no doubt. But IMO that wears of quickly. What's left is capitalistic propaganda often riddled with sexism, misogynism, homophobia etc. which to me is the real cultural significance.
Not exactly sure what changed though, wether companies discovered it's more profitable to put on an act of some kind of progressive consumerism, or if it's an actual response to an evolving society.
Do you know him in person? He doesn't seem to have much online present which is understandable.
I think it's the article that's confused, or being a bit careless with the details.

Like you say, Deflate is based on LZ77, and I think it's not just for patent reasons but because it's a nice algorithm. More modern algorithms like LZMA is also LZ77 based.
Even in California $150k places you at around the 85% household (let alone personal) income percentile, median household income is only 75k. I.e., the bulk of Californians have to make do with far less.
Sorta, but no. Low code entails more variance as making only websites, or being restricted to creating only certain determined outputs. For me the perks of low-code platforms like MS PowerAutomate are the ability to create simple integrations and processess between systems that are already utilized to some extent, and being able to quickly deploy these automations.

In a sense that they are somewhat clunky and restricting, and only good for some extent of complexity/performance/scalability the comparison to website builders can be made
How to always have a full growth idea backlog
> 1. Stockfish, server-side game analysis, learning from mistakes

I'm not sure what you mean by 2 and 3, but lichess already has server side analysis.

If it's just that you'd like to pay for it, you can set up donations. You can also contribute your own server to the analysis cluster.

Lichess is a really inspiring project on how a free/open source software community can provide the same value based features that we normally assume can only be done by monetization.
In my case, I can't even find prices or how to contact someone who might be willing to sell the domain, and I'd be happy to pay a few thousand dollars, though not 140k.
This is an interesting conundrum. If it's currently on autopilot (for whatever reason) and the requirements aren't met anymore it should probably handle it gracefully and wind it down progressively until a human driver takes over, rather than shutdown assuming someone is at the wheel. Auto pilot in adverse conditions is better than no pilot.

In some multicopters when you loose signal it doesn't fall off the sky, instead it hovers gently down until it touches down on the ground, (or tries to fly back home which can cause a host of other problems)
Ah yes, that is insightful, particularly on the differences between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Thanks.
What does that even mean? Cryptocurrencies are currencies; there’s nothing fundamentally different about holding them for investment purposes vs. doing regular ForEx trading, save for the fact that the existing ForEx infrastructure hasn’t caught up to support crypto yet.
In the past it was quite different and not so effective, also the target is not usually a company but a single person. It is a war towards the weak. Now you can destroy the people life for really futile reasons, so cancel culture acts differently from old-style boycott for technological and sociological reasons. I don't think that the mob assaulting people for old style opinions is the majority of population, the mob is simply organized, funded and have the advantage of being supported by the media. And I don't think that having a mob destroying a person, and his family too, for a different opinion.. is a good way to shape the world, or a shiny path towards a better future. That is the "Gulag method", ah yes sorry, you call it "Language evolution", I forgot it. Finally, for lot of people this is a "culture WAR", in the sense that casualities don't matters, and is the proof that this mob is moved by violence and not compassion.
It has completely normal regional culture, it's all the other places with less of it that never developed it (US) or actively homogenized it (France, Russia...).
I can praise their stance, but one critical point left unaddressed is sustainability.
I'm curious to know what your standards for high tech are. I know that there are many farms in southern alberta who regularly get the latest farming equipment which includes john deere's that drive themselves.

Hell, Lethbridge is home to at least one successful agtech biz, if not more. They're flying drones to analyze weed cover and optimize spraying based on positional data.

It can be very high tech. I don't know what you're saying that it doesn't exist. It's happening in canada literally right now.

That said a lot of these are for medium to large operations. Despite high tech, farmers who farm smaller plots generally have better yield. The automation has basically just let business expand into larger operations they might not otherwise have manpower or expertise to cover.
I agree. I think extraverts just typically get more practice.
It's a thing between teenage girls (and boys), it's not some new tactic. If you read about Ben Franklin, he was huge into the idea of secret societies of a small number of people. The primary reason was that they were immune to this type of dissent building and outside opinion influencing.

He structured secret societies like an MLM, where you only know you're direct downline, and your recruiters direct downline. Each secret society had 6 members, and each of the 6 members would create another one with 6 members, but never sharing the identities across the groups and instruct each of the six to replicate the structure and so on. Each group of 6 would meet, discuss topics, come to a group consensu, and pass this up and down. This is how the revolution and much more was fomented.
I believe last time I used Last Pass they had something similar - a list of "equivalent domains". I believe most password managers come with such a feature and their own default lists.
Unless we fail on earth because of an asteroid impact.
Chess books, maybe. Chess sets? I'm sure most people playing chess on lichess are aware of chess sets and could get a hold of one without an ad.
> Just learn C by reading and working through the K&R book. (It's one of the best CS books ever written.)

This is really an amazing feat: books on programming languages age really fast. This one - not so much. And you can really appreciate the careful thought that was put in each sentence. Peerless.

> The real challenge with C is multi-threaded programming, so don't do that if you don't need it.

Well, these days it's harder and harder to avoid it if you want to write efficient apps - we got more cores and the clocks remain more or less the same.
Do you mean the general concept or like: a is a pointer to an array of functions which return pointers to functions which return ints and take double arrays as parameters.

This somehow never really clicked (or actually it clicked and declicked somehow)
Ask HN: Who is using (or would use) authentication as a service solutions

Post Office IT Scandal: Postmasters Await Appeal Court Ruling
The problem with a lot of these old school companies is that any development work would always be treated as 2nd tier. Very very few,if any, CEOs will go to their boards and admit that they've been behind with their tech for years and it'd take a lot of stones to move to change the way things are done.
We all know them: crappy pay, work conditions similar to the comedy shows about office work,etc.
I think the probabilty that humans can live on Mars long-term without support or resupply missions from Earth is effectively zero, certainly won't happen within the lifetime of anyone alive today. Don't misunderstand, I'm not against space exploration, I think it benefits us here on Earth. It's like F1 racing with a much bigger scope: little direct benefit to anyone, but many indirect benefits resulting from the effort.
Quite the harrowing read - I've had some toxic bosses in my time but none reached even half as far as this (although I know people who have had similar experiences and, invariably, end up blaming themselves.)

This is almost what I always wanted, but it feels a bit bolted on to be honest. I don't like that you have to put a complex nested function in one cell, rather than using multiple cells with temporary results. While this allows you to concatenate Excel functions, I think it doesn't allow you to write a function in "idiomatic" Excel. If I had to implement functions in Excel, I would use one of two strategies:

- You have a special area or special kind of sheet, where some cells are inputs, one is output, and all others are used for temporary calculation

or:

- You define your calculation as usual, in B5: = 10*A5
- then in C5:

=MYLAMBDA(B5; A5)(3)

Meaning: Take the formula in B5, treat A5 as an argument, and return a function. Then call this function with the argument 3.

The benefit of this? You can have an area in your sheet where the user can enter formulas and multi-cell-calculations, not just numbers, and they are applied elsewhere.
Not sure what terminal you're using but I was able to get the separators working fine on Windows Terminal with a powerline font enabled on my WSL profile.
Reducing it to something absurd, is it anything beyond "If we just ignore this one rule of physics, this other rule of physics also stops working. Gotcha!"?
I also entered - the parts price is really cheap, with a Pi zero going for 5€ and the camera going for another 5€. Looking forward to it, FLOSS IoT projects are always fun :)
Pointers aren't that complicated but C syntax is misleading imho until someone comes along and tells you that the declaration syntax "follows use", which does not seem like the greatest idea. Then you get used to it and forget about it but when you don't know the principle behind declaration syntax, it does not help you reason about the language.
Whenever I see "at ludicrous speed" or something to that effect, I now assume it's slow.
The space race literally made the semiconductors that currently run the world useful and affordable. Without it we might be using tiny vacuum tubes to this day.
Yes, and if you need the best of both there is the Commentz-Walter algorithm from 1979:

> Like the Aho–Corasick string matching algorithm, it can search for multiple patterns at once. It combines ideas from Aho–Corasick with the fast matching of the Boyer–Moore string search algorithm. For a text of length n and maximum pattern length of m, its worst-case running time is O(m·n), though the average case is often much better.

> GNU grep implements a string matching algorithm very similar to Commentz-Walter.

An open letter from Mars.

“Dear Earth,

it came to my attention that you are running a website called “marssucks.com” where you state some not so nice things about me. While I think that I understand why you are doing this it still hurts me to read that e.g. I am so terrible that “Matt Damon ate his own feces just to leave me”.

So I kindly ask you to take down the “marssucks.com” site. For a planet as rich and lush as you there should be other ways then making derogatory remarks about me to convince your inhabitants to treat you in a good way.

Love from your brother Mars”

Thanks! This is super helpful! I knew about and use exa and fzf but the others are new to me.
CPI includes housing, though.

Obviously it's fair to say that inflation may be measured more in some prices than others, but you're sort of muddying the waters by referring to housing as both an asset class and a cost-of-living, right?

Perversely, if inflation primarily affects "assets" (i.e. of the investment/speculation type), the premise of the original question here is sort of flawed: if increasing the money supply increases the price of assets, those with savings get richer—exactly the opposite of the ordinary understanding of "inflation!"
Is it actually hyperbole though?

> Or, look at embedded, where C is considered a simple language. In C, it's not obvious how I'd start. Use something like Cube-MX or Keil? GCC? All the options are messy and tough to learn. In Rust, I clone a template repo, cargo-install 2 or 3 tools and targets, and `cargo run` to compile and flash.

Keil is a company that builds an IDE, compiler and debuging tools for microcontrollers. CubeMx is a configuration tool/code generator for STM microcontrollers. You comment makes no sense in regards to C language, unless you are saying that rust/cargo automagically does everything that Keil products and CubeMx do?
Nobody is completely secure.
I few years ago, I wrote another substring search algorithm that is outperforming this one on a modern computer:
https://github.com/RaphaelJ/fast_strstr/tree/master/benchmar...

While the algorithm is time linear (Boyer-Moore is sub linear), it ends up being significantly faster on textual content as the per character operations are significantly simplier.
"certainly won't happen within the lifetime of anyone alive today"

Agreed, but even two lifetimes isn't that long if we're talking about a low probability but ever-present existential risk.
My favorite regex is the E-Mail Regex[1].

Inflation-linked bonds offer a direct hedge over inflation. Not exactly sure what the downside is, so you’ll have to look that up (or someone else may comment on it).

Crypto/gold/real estate are not hedges against inflation. They’re pretty wild bets. If you do this, make sure you diversify...

On a side note, inflation is a good thing cause it makes you want to invest your money. Seeking a refuge value is not playing the capitalism game. It’s better for everyone if you invest your money in some active venture (like stocks or bonds) rather than in some sitting asset...
I have been sat next to a drunk person on a plane before. The attendant got me a new seat and the person was arrested at the airport. At the very least they should be able to move you if there is a free seat.
Here's how it works with JOINS in Postgres, using the NOTIFY/LISTEN mechanism

-- Run the query and store result in updated_ids
WITH updated_ids AS (
UPDATE public.doc
SET version = version + 1

-- Joins are not directly part of Postgres' update syntax, but this achieves the same
FROM public.org
WHERE public.org.id = public.doc.org_id AND public.org.type = 'customer'

-- Returns all ids of affected rows
RETURNING public.doc.id
)
-- convert the returned ids into a comma-separated string that we can sent via the NOTIFY mechanism
, id_string_result AS (
SELECT ARRAY_TO_STRING(ARRAY_AGG(id) ,',') AS id_string FROM updated_ids
)

-- use LISTEN/NOTIFY to publish a changed_row_ids event with a comma separated list of changed row ids
SELECT pg_notify( 'changed_row_ids', id_string_result.id_string )
Thanks!

In case someone still finds this thread: standards my ass. Guess what, in Poland we have different ISO 3758:2012 symbols. Compare [0] with [1]. As it turns out, some of the symbols have "A" and "B" variant, and we use the "B" one for some reason.

Also I couldn't figure out WTF is "drip drying", and how "drip line drying" and "drip flat drying" differ from "line drying" and "flat drying". The Internet is very unhelpful here - every single article I saw assumed you already know what it means. Fortunately, [1] contained a note that the methods of drying are defined in ISO 6330:2000, and as luck would have it, I saw a copy of ISO 6330:2000 fall out of the back of a truck. Taking a quick peek, I now know that "drip line/flat drying" means...

...just "line/flat drying", except you set your washing machine to not do the final spinning cycle.

Yup. I spent a ton of time trying to make sense of pointer syntax (* operator/modifier), until I realized that it didn't really make sense (except for the simplest cases) and then I could get on my life.
