The Time Machine backup pictured above ran ridiculously slowly, taking over 15 minutes to back up less than 1 GB of files. Had I not been watching it in Activity Monitor, I would have been completely unaware of its poor performance. Because Macs with Intel processors can’t segregate their tasks onto different cores in the same way, when macOS starts to choke on something it affects user processes too.

this is really smart, and makes one wonder why intel didnt have the insight to do something like that already.... is this the result of thier "missing the boat" on smartphone processors (a.k.a giving up xscale)??
Have you considered that « Russians did it » is by itself propaganda?

When police selectively enforce the laws, a lack of sympathy for the guilty guarantees that systemic discrimination goes unredressed. It's not just that a dog like Karma exists, it's who the police choose to inflict Karma on.
Mandatory Palestine certainly existed. Although you may argue it wasn't a country, because it was under the administration of the British.

The current State of Palestine exists, and is recognized in many forums, although not by all participants; but it doesn't have de facto sovereignty as it's essentially occupied.

The micromanagement you're talking about actually came directly from the top (CEO), which was even more awkward. For example, the first month on the job the CEO set up a daily meeting with me to talk details about how my team was supposed to accomplish the goals he had set out for us. To the point of asking exactly about the schema of the database we needed, what our ETL pipeline was going to look like, hand-picking an external technical resource to help with the task (who then no-showed on the deliverable, nearly killing the CEO of embarrassment).

I found it extremely bizarre to say the least. The organization was at a scale where it made no sense for him to be that involved in the minutia. And here my boss told me I was lucky to be getting so much time with such an important and brilliant man...
Likely a decent number. Sometimes it's just the hours at one. A job I worked once had us doing 14 hour minimums with a rolling start (Monday start at 7am, by Friday start at 3pm), until two of the guys fell asleep on the ride home within one week, one barely surviving hitting a parked garbage truck, and the other ran a red light and flipped some guys minivan.

After that we were working 12 hour days instead, in part due to workers saying enoughs enough

No it didn't. And they're not discouraged in Java SE. Ignoring errors and letting them propagate to thread's main is just stupid. I haven't heard single argument except "Meh, I have to write throws Exception to every method". It's either "throws Exception" or something like "Either<Exception, String>". Same principle, you declare errors in type system. And if you have reason to believe that it's a good thing to hide errors from type system, then please, convince me.

I remember when this became a "thing" again after 2003-onward when animosity toward the US was running high. I travelled around Europe, the Middle East, and Africa pretty extensively then, staying in hostels or using Couch Surfing (both hosting and surfing).

Never once ran into a fellow American traveler who flag-jacked, although we all would share jokes about doing so, with a wink and a nod. I saw the occasional Canadian flag on a backpack, but from my interactions they were all convincingly Canadian. More often I saw travelers from the world over with flags from all the places they visited on their bags.

I always suspected those Americans who actually flag-jacked were of the breed that visited Western-European capitals via tour-bus, dressed like they were on safari, and loudly compared everything to how it existed "back in the States".
True, but if it doesn't go anywhere you lose it all with a put, and lose far less with a short (just the borrow fee).
It was only briefly touched on but this is the candidate for Governor of Washington State who lost by over half a million votes in an election with fewer than 5 million votes. This is to say he lost by a city not a country mile because he was very popular in Eastern WA where around 25% of the population lives but a dud elsewhere.

This is pretty much par for the course in a state divided by both a mountain range and political ideology but what was unusual is that along with Trump Culp promoted the big lie that Trump had only lost the election because of rampant cheating and rolled Washington State into this perverse narrative with a side order of immigrant hate by making them the villains that stole WA from both Trump and Culp.

According to Culp he and Trump were the proper inheritors of power in Washington and the nation. He even promised to uncover and reverse the fraud through lawsuits although he lacked the money to go through the show of reclaiming his "rightful place" via lawsuit he still fund raised off it as if he was going to and his fan club crowed about how great it would be when our actual governor was perp walked to depending on whom you asked prison or execution for treason.

He is a disease right up their with the eastern Washington congressman Matt Shea whom we somehow just recently got rid of who published a paper on the biblical basis for war wherein it discussed the creation of an ISIS like biblical state following the fall of America in which wrong thinking women would be subjugated and wrong thinking men would simply be murdered.

From Matt Sheas writing

Under one heading, “Rules of War,” it makes a chilling prescription for enemies who flout “biblical law.” It states, “If they do not yield – kill all males.”

Even in our relatively liberal states the right is breeding ideologues, traitors, and terrorists who make real and solid the claims and fears that proponents of the red scare imagined. It turns out their fan fiction was written while looking into a mirror.

I'd wonder how big an engine you can put back there. Designs like the 727 were before turbofans. I'm not aware of any turbofan designs with an engine built into the fuselage. (But that's a pretty fundamental question so I assume it's been looked at.)
It's tricky because, while dogs can understand fairly complex vocabulary, their ability to reason abstractly about events is less developed. If the dog alerts, you spend two minutes searching, and then you reward the dog, it will have trouble connecting the reward to the alert.

The obvious solution is to train the dog to search things that you know have drugs (or don't) because the trainer set it up that way. You'll need to then repeat this training often, and not always in the same environment. If you don't, eventually the dog will figure out that it will always be rewarded for alerting in the field.

The problem with this, of course, is that it's expensive and cumbersome to do. You need to set up cars/bags/lockers/etc with and without drugs in them in a variety of locations, secure them (lest actual criminals steal the drugs), and bring the dogs to them (lots of time out of the handler's day). Also, even if you do this, you'll still get false positives: dogs are living animals, not machines.

Probably price as a barrier. Or the background knowledge to know which providers are reliable, etc. You could imagine the pricing being inaccessible to certain markets (where currency is really weak, say Venezuela), whereas Google Maps is free for almost all uses.
GP did not strongly imply it was possession. They said the guy “definitely did something bad”. So it sounds like to me it’s something more than just simple possession. That’s what I’m going with.
Can you elaborate? I found it very easy to interact with once I learned how to use the tooling (busctl, d-feet, etc). I also don't think I would say it's desktop-focused, it was designed for that use case originally, but it seems it can be used by anything else that happens to use a similar OOP-based RPC design (and it seems systemd is one of those things). Is there another replacement that's of a smaller scope that would cover all the use cases that systemd needs?

China allows tourism, but I don’t think its present leadership considers it among the major ways to win hearts and minds. Restrictions on where foreigners are allowed to sleep at night remain in place, tourists are subject to the Great Firewall during their time in the country unless they know how to get around that, and some parts of the country that were quite open in the late 20th century and early millennium (Xinjiang, Tibet) are now much harder to access. Most of the post-Soviet countries hungry for tourism income and extension of soft power eventually lifted those kinds of hassles on visitors.

I've built secure-electron-template [0] which is a secure-by-default Electron template for writing apps. I made it open source because I'm not motivated to build this for a profit (then it becomes work). The project is sustainable because it's a template, and once people decide to use it, they make their own changes to their app. It's assumed a template is, a template. This doesn't make me any extra work besides fixing bugs here and there or improving things at my own pace.

From that article:

"If the pilot proves effective, it is estimated that at least 40% of the fleet will be able to use the technology, which would result in a reduction of almost 1.5% of Vale’s annual iron ore maritime transport emissions.”

Well, that's a step in the right direction so something to be applauded. But taken alone, an emissions reduction of "almost 1.5%" isn't going to save the planet.

Ask HN: How did you meet your mentors? What was their impact on you?
Many people who are excellent at something cite their mentors as a major reason for their skills and success. If you've had an impactful mentor of any kind (not just programming-related), how did you meet them and how did they impact you?

Or, mentees: how did you decide to take on someone less experienced? What was the experience of mentoring someone like?

I read the GP post as suggesting an actual crime likely occurred. You, I, and many others (especially people who tend to use HN) don't consider drug use an actual crime. Judges sometimes sentence (actual) criminals to drug rehab programs as an alternative to jail for certain things, e.g. if perhaps someone burglarized homes to fund a drug addiction.

I have no idea, though. It would've been better if they gave a little more detail about the nature of the crime.
Crazy looking. If they can actually drop fuel consumption by 70%, every passenger and cargo jet in the country will look like that in no time. I'll believe it when I see it, although sketchy drawings (as opposed to a prototype) always make me in favor of a thing.

Seriously, as someone who is not an aerospace designer guy, I would have thought that the turbulence thrown off the front wing would cause problems for the back two (or at least cause them to look radically different).

GPT-3's problem is much more basic -- it is structurally incapable of many kinds of 'intelligence'.

You could express a logic puzzle (SAT problem) in words and feed it to GPT-3. If GPT-3 were able to solve SAT, the running time would be exponential with the length of the document, unless it realized P = NP.

If GPT-3 had a variable stopping criterion (did a round of processing, decided maybe to continue or not) it might be able to do classes of computations that it can't do today (because it always stops!) but then you've got a model which is expensive to run that could take an unlimited amount of time.

If this or another design could actually reduce fuel requirements by that much, how much closer would we be to full-size battery-electric planes being viable?

Current requirements are pegged at 400 Wh/kg, while current batteries are between 250-280. A major efficiency improvement should put us much closer.
That's because lots of planes flying today are still from the 1950s.

That’s like saying “no video nitrates over 10mbps will have noticeable improvement”. It’s definitely true if you’re watching, say, Khan Academy.

Switch it to a fireworks show and watch the quality suffer.

320kbps MP3 just means the codec allocates 320kb to store each second of compressed signal. Obviously some signals compress better than others and need much lower than that for an acceptable quality (audiobooks are often distributed at 64kbps).

This is pretty good, it has a both the theory of how it started, an experiment to validate the theory, and math to show that the event timeline matches the theory. I'm generally convinced this is the correct answer (at last).

What that means, is that if the Germans had use slightly conductive spacers rather than wooden dowels, they would have been able to keep the voltage difference between the frame and the envelope below the dielectric breakdown point of the gap. At the cost of the sparks happening at the ends of the mooring ropes as they touched the ground.

Another useful experiment if you still had a zeppelin would be to see if you could usefully use the voltage differential to do some useful work (like flashing lights on the sides of the ship or something)
