Make sure to visit it in Spring/Summer! The place is very lively with joggers, bikers, wind surfers, BBQs (although it is now banned because of lockdown I think), and tons of people just lying around and chatting.

I understand that people needs houses but, I would consider letting go and demolishing this park would be as bad as demolishing Tiergarten. People need green spaces and parks as well.
>Add renewable energy to the equation and you can build a fantastic system running 24/7 without any waiting for trains.

You'll need some storage or natural gas power plant as most renewable energy are intermittent.

Also, unless you have alternative routes, you cannot have a subway running 24/7 because maintenance needs to be done somehow.
I switched to Vivaldi from Chrome earlier this year as I was uncomfortable with the level of Google integration in that browser.

Vivaldi is based on Chromium and has lots of improvements over Chrome, like gestures out of the box, side panels, lots of clear options. And Chrome extensions work perfectly.
I've had no issues so far.

The complexity of managing a browser engine that does what everyone expects requires humongous resources so I can understand the move to Chromium. As long as the google bits are removed and the extensions work, it's great to have an alternative to Edge and Chrome.

I mostly use Firefox as my daily browser and nothing would make me abandon it but it's nice to be able to segregate your various professional/private persona using different browsers.
> Is this a PR stunt? Is there an official body that classifies oceans?

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) is the official body which defines the world's oceans. It is an intergovernmental international organization whose members are 94 countries, including all the world's major seagoing powers.

IHO hasn't officially recognised the existence of the Southern Ocean yet, but it is planning to. Part of the hold-up is a dispute with Australia over the boundaries of the Southern Ocean – the IHO wants to put its northern boundary at the 60th parallel south, the Australian government wants to put its northern boundary as the southern Australian coast (which reflects Australian cultural understandings of it.) The other part of the hold-up, is the process of updating the boundaries of the world's oceans is being delayed by some unrelated political issues, such as the "Sea of Japan" naming dispute between Japan and Korea.

But, unlike recognised international bodies such as the IHO, or even national government bodies, National Geographic magazine, or the National Geographic Society, has no formal authority to decide the boundaries of anything, including the world's oceans. So yeah, this is pretty much just PR.

I am not saying that there shouldn't be some abstraction. However I think we are at a point where one additional customer at any cost results in products become so simplistic that they become useless for people who actually need them for work etc.

Not having people learning new things and learning to approach things with some logic results in them never having to do this in their lives. In the end you get a dumbed down public voting on their emotions and against their interests.
So to keep TfL afloat the government has to give them money and as part of that they have to spend a large amount of money investigating something most people don’t think is viable.

ClickHouse includes a tool which allows to run SQL queries over files/data in any supported format including TSV [1]

E. g. you can use this command to see which unix users use most memory (RSS):

ps aux | awk 'NR > 1 { print $1"\t"$6 }' | clickhouse-local -S "user String, mem UInt64" -q "SELECT user, formatReadableSize(sum(mem)*1024) as mem_total FROM table GROUP BY user ORDER BY sum(mem) DESC LIMIT 20 FORMAT PrettyCompact"

It is pretty fast - I've generated 7.7G test data for this query and it took 23 second to run the query above (using multiple threads). For comparison wc -l for this file takes 9 seconds.

Thanks for your feedback. Text and diagrams are certainly on the roadmap.
Mainline trains is a non-starter for many decades, though, at least in the UK which still has a large number of level crossings, as well as stations with "fun" issues such as being too short for the longest trains. There is tech solutions in place to prevent the wrong doors from opening. Except when it doesn't work, where you really need someone on the train.

And yes, it does fail. Been on trains when the doors refused to open because the system failed to recognise the station. For ages, the trains also waited for ~30 seconds to open doors at London Victoria, supposedly because the system that recognised the stations used GPS, and the station concourse at Victoria is too deep for the trains to get a signal. Don't know if that is true or not, but in any case automating even door control was a long, complex project that still has issues years later.

Steps will keep being taken towards automating more of it, but there is decades old rolling stock, so any upgrades will take accordingly long to spread through the system as everything gets upgraded.

Isle of Wight for example, ran on London Underground 1938 stock trains until last year, when they started upgrading to refurbished British Rail Class 484 rolling stock built in the 1970's and 1980's...

With respect to renewables, not all of the UK network is even electrified yet...

Wow, breaking the both parts of the milk bottle both forwards and backwards in time was awesome.

I remember going through backwards videos in thermodynamics class, because the interesting thing about reality is that it has charge, parity, and time reversal symmetry[0].

“ The implication of CPT symmetry is that a "mirror-image" of our universe — with all objects having their positions reflected through an arbitrary point (corresponding to a parity inversion), all momenta reversed (corresponding to a time inversion) and with all matter replaced by antimatter (corresponding to a charge inversion) — would evolve under exactly our physical laws. The CPT transformation turns our universe into its "mirror image" and vice versa. CPT symmetry is recognized to be a fundamental property of physical laws.”

On top of this, as the article alluded to I'm dubious of what kind of apartments would be built. The kind of people who really need housing in the city are likely not going to benefit from whatever developers would do with the space.
Same with 10 LOL. VEGA10 codename is for the original Vega Frontier Edition/RX Vega 56/RX Vega 64. But now there's also "Vega 10" used as a description for the 10 Vega compute units on Ryzen APUs.
I always hoped that Bitcoin would become "the people's currency" but currently it does not work as cash anymore. Lightning might become great, but the engineering needed just to send to offline nodes makes me sceptical, not to mention that the cost of funding channels is always handwaved away.

I wonder, does HN hate the "Bitcoin Cash" fork as much as BTC? It's the closest to the technical specification that made me interested in BTC in the first place.

I think anything truly real time would be interrupt driven and use C/assembly. This would act as the glue between that critical code. I don't feel like we've hit peak embedded development yet. I love the idea of rapid embedded development that deploys scripts over a network or RS232, but most scripting languages aren't great for this. I would like to see a statically typed actor system with no GC or optional per actor GC that is pre-allocated and can only cause a single actor to fail in a predictable way.
Also, on Perl:

Install cpanminus and then
install local::lib.

cpanm local::lib

cat >> ~/.profile << EOF
eval $(perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)
EOF

done.
This is what the humans need to do. It works with any framework or database.

You might find some software frameworks that make this easier than others but expecting to find a technology that replaces human methodology is like reading a book on Scrum and saying “can’t we make a software system that does this for us?”

That is not the whole story. Domestically in Russia, there is a sense of humiliation about losing the cold war and about the 90s. Going from a superpower to a destitute nation, being made to feel sorry for its own history.

The rhetoric of rebuilding its sphere of influence, role in international affairs, regaining its 'colonies' as much as possible is very profitable domestically. As such, it is natural that such former satellite states would wish to protect themselves, i.e. by joining NATO and closer integrating with the EU.

In other words, it seems likely that Russia's foreign policy would be very similar even without NATO expansion. One could argue it would be less aggressive because they would not feel a need to hurry, or more aggressive because they would feel less resistance to their actions. But the general policy trends would likely be very similar.

Fine, STAN is a bad example since it’s written as a DSL parsed by a standalone interpreter.

But tons of other numerical methods are also missing from Perl. To use another stats example, in another comment, I gave the example that PDL only supports random variable generation for common distributions (e.g. normal, gamma, Poisson). Anything beyond stats 101 level and you’re on your own.

I'm not shifting the goalposts, this conversation is about federal income taxes and every reference in the post you originally replied to is discussing federal income taxes.

My gut feeling or guess is that Deep inside, Suresh knew it wouldn't work. Or it would take years and insane amount of effort to get it working in US. Because he knows medical in US is a bag of hurt. So may be telling his boss wasn't about permission, it is about getting the same level of understanding what the heck they are getting into. And setting some level of expectation ( Burning lots of money ).

I am also reading his boss is overly excited on the idea. Mostly likely because of some stupid marketing research big number of TAM and potential revenue without thinking much about the consequences. And I have seen far too many of these people in charge of business.
The moment you don’t use the maximum number of tools possible or write any line of code that doesn’t call some framework method people will harass you about NIH. I see it nearly everyday online and used to see it at least monthly in the real world at work.

Basically all silicon works like this. "Variable cores" actually means some cores are disabled. This is usually done to increase overall yields: chips with damage inside one of the cores can still be binned as the lower core count SKUs.

The "you can scale up" thing is actually just how e.g. Intel makes bigger monolithic chips (Xeon/HEDT) with the same or very similar cores as the desktop ones. Meanwhile AMD, actually using chiplets, can cheaply do something more like "scale out" in the sense that they put more of the exact same die on a package.

There are few real use-cases for any commercial VPN which claims to sell privacy, they are generally snake oil. The one possible exception is to get around geo-blocking, and in that case you just want to go for one with the most numerous and reliable servers in the location you want to appear to be visiting from.

For privacy, the gold (and imperfect) standard is still Tor, and even then you are at the mercy of the owners of the exit node. Freenet and I2P are also interesting.

I'm also a happy Fastmail customer. They actually offer customer support (at least they did a couple of years ago when I needed it).

I had an issue with Fastmail where I accidentally deleted a bunch of emails, and with help from their support I was able to restore them from their backup quickly.

Contrast that to Gmail, where thousands of messages suddenly disappeared from the inbox, and the only support option was a forum with dozens of other users asking for solutions to the same problem.
What they are actually seeking is

"...progress towards the conversion of at least one Underground line to Grade-of-Automation 3 (driverless, but with an on-board attendant, as on the Docklands Light Railway), subject to a viable business case and its statutory responsibilities."

They are only aiming to do one line, which just happens to meet a complex set of constraints outlined in the article. Doing the entire network would require a massive set of changes as outlined in the article (e.g. to rolling stock, platforms and signalling) to meet the safety requirements.

The requirement for an on-board attendant means that the driverless trains will still be at risk of strike action, in contrast to the line taken by some commenters here.

Note that the actual title is 'political myth'. The article suggests that the main reason for the change is to demonstrate political vision rather than, say, cost savings.
Lol, what are they going to do? Keep you calm? The situation would most likely be outside of their control.
I asked because the listing said "kpatch" in the output of the command. I've never used Kernelcare, only suggested investigating it, despite it being proprietary.

Ksplice was done by MIT students, not Oracle. I used it long before Oracle bought it, initially with my own patches (and actually after that as a "legacy" customer). kpatch isn't just x86_64; it's in at least ppc64le RHEL 7, although not for the "alt kernel" on the POWER9 systems I use.

I don't know whether it's the case, but their comparison rather suggests Kernelcare is based on Ksplice.

The SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) let's you derive your DB schema and UI from one semantic data model. The runtime framework interprets this and provides (deep) CRUD functionality out of the box. Business logic can then be inserted using different request handlers. Therefore you have (depending on additional business logic) usually only one place to define your model.

At the same time, as perhaps is the case in China, a significant part of the Russian population is afraid that without the autocracy, there will be disorder that will be worse than the autocracy, as various factions fight for power. They have numerous examples from recent history - including Ukraine. Yes, Russia was instrumental in making sure there was disorder in Ukraine, but who is to say that another power will not do the same thing to Russia should the people get rid of their autocracy? As I understand, the same sentiment is fairly popular in China, too.

That's a good way to summarize it, I tend to see this trend of governments creating their own digital currencies as the next step in the economic shitshow. One can even argue that's what a complex system would do: add more complexity, create more branches, justify the new bureaucracy with funny numbers and statistics, do anything to self perpetuate. Only time will show us if that's really feasible or if it'll all come crushing us down under it's own weight.
