I disagree that it "ends being far worse than having no comments at all". I think it's still helpful:
1) still provides the visual boundary for the following chunk of code
2) still tells me that the code has something to do with scroll bars

As they say, "Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing" :-)

Yeah, it could trick me, but this is no different to any other types of sloppiness.

Should we stop giving meaningful names to variables and functions, because some developer can change what a function does, or variable represents, but fail to update the names to reflect the fact?

Most of the time when I have to look at the code with out of date comments, after paying some initial "tax" of confusion and lost time, it becomes clear that the comment is out of date(git helps with this, too). So I take time and fix the comment. Or in rare cases when I still don't understand what the comment should say, I put a "FIXME: out of date comment" above the offending line.

One thing I give you: when reading code, I find comments explaining why the code does X, more useful than comments stating the the code does X...

This generalizes into discussion for any treatment that promotes longevity.

The thing that comes to mind is that it overcomes or breaks various “policy levers” that rely on an expected course of life. Some examples: 99-year leases, defined benefit pension plans and life insurance policies.

I also wonder how many mainframe systems assume a maximum possible age of 2^7 years.
True, but companies may be less likely to pay. I'm confident that our major competitors have enough ethics to not look at our trade secrets if released, and the minor ones that would don't have the ability to hide their tracks and so in court they will be shut down.
> The "memdb" VFS now allows the same in-memory database to be shared among multiple database connections in the same process as long as the database name begins with "/".

Ohh this is interesting -- now SQLite can function as an in-memory shared DB, as long as you have lots of readers and only one writer? IIRC WAL mode doesn't apply to in-memory DBs but the locking concurrency docs[0] seem to suggest that most of the time the one writer would hold the RESERVED+ locks and readers would hold the SHARED locks.

Ha, it's about five feet below sea level already and the way we use the land and river just makes it keep on slowly sinking even without factoring in rising seas. Really the bigger worry is heavier/longer hurricane season meaning more chances for one to fill up the bowl of the city, especially with the pumps and their generators being increasingly in need of maintenance - right now there's barely enough of the power system online to keep them running if the cyclone coming up the gulf at us decides to dump an asston of rain, for instance.

Or maybe the Mississippi will finally triumph over the Army Corps of Engineers and start going down the Atchafalya, like it's been wanting to do for most of my life, and then a significant part of the city's revenue dries up.

Ain't nothin' permanent anyway. Any given hurricane could be The One, and everyone in town knows it, and that's part of why we have such big parties. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Well, ya see - now, that’s your problem. You need to start measuring your clothes in inches.

Would you mind walking through the math there? Are we modeling this “aging to 650” process as 10 “aging to 65” processes? I don’t see why that is a reasonable model, but I’m no actuary so I’m just curious.
I think my favorite part of a tutorial, even though it was a super small piece, was an older open-world game. At the start of the game, someone in a helicopter tells you to look up at them. Based on the direction you move the thumbstick, it'll automatically set the controls as inverted. It was such a tiny thing, but it's the only time I've ever played a game that automatically changed it's controls in response to how the player expects them to work.

It's not scientific to assume spread is not airborne, then tell everyone to assume spread is not airborne, until research confirms beyond a reasonable doubt that it's airborne. Science isn't about pretending that the first guess that comes into your head is the truth until proven otherwise.

Your missing optimization engineers who come behind the original engineers and optimize design with a focus on production cost over performance.

This often leads to some of the most spectacular failures, and unforseen issues.

Or someone fucked up
I’ve definitely seen some automated “pretend to be a player” systems which either spammed controller inputs at random or was able to take some very constrained actions within some portion of a game (undirected driving of a car, for example). Those are neat and helpful, but don’t really have the rigor of proper testing where you know that the same thing is being tested every time.

One of my stumbling blocks at the moment is that the machines in my CI setup don’t have graphics cards in them (or monitors attached or etc); they actually can’t run the game, and I’d have trouble detecting the difference between “runs successfully” and “runs, but only displays a black screen” or other critical graphical issues.
And that much smaller increase is because a death may initially be coded as uncategorized and later revised. So at any point in time, the most recent data you look at will show this phenomena - COVID, vaccine or not.
Amazingly, his advice is to this day only fitfully obeyed in possibly a majority of American hospitals. Compliance with hand-washing rules has been very hard to enforce.

But nitrile gloves are often used, instead, in many places, which takes much of the pressure off.
I'm very confused as to why. According to Finder these have an 8kHz sample rate? How did they find a mic that bad?

Or is it intentional? Is there some scientific usefulness that would make these clips easier for a machine to analyze? I really don't know if there would be, since a higher resolution clip could just be sampled again if you really wanted something lower.

It is very unfortunate, but I'm grateful that someone performed this experiment as ethically as they could think of and made the data available for all to use.
I'm not taking about the dish in my comment, I'm talking about Teslas shortcuts.

But it doesn't really help if your poor engineering only causes your company to fail due to recall, or gets you shut down for fraud or negligence, or your product is so bad that customers entirely leave your market. That's still not something to champion.
FreeNAS is excellent in many ways. Except that weird gospel their forum people have.

ZFS only needs a lot of RAM if deduplication is enabled. And it shouldn't be for most use cases, or only enabled on one dataset that benefits from it.

Many ZFS installs are fine on 8GB or less.

ECC RAM is better but not required. The idea is to catch memory errors, hence ECC is better.
> The average cost of housing has gone up over time, but this trend is mainly driven by the fact that modern houses are larger and built better than houses in the past.

Oh, that explains why the house that sold for $300k in 1990 sold today for $2M (only 3X adjusted for inflation). It must have gotten 3X larger and 3X better built, even though it is the exact same house with a couple extra layers of paint and a redone kitchen.

They probably do. People hate to recognize this because it goes against most western notions of the value of work ethic, but a couple stddev of intelligence is, in many cases, more valuable than many years of experience. Sad but true.

That's a de-icing system. Starlink dishes have the opposite problem, they get too hot because they have to dissipate 100 watts electric energy plus the heat from the sun and the nearby rooftop.

OK, maritime outfitters will sell you a climatized radome, which will set you back a few grand. Proper engineering costs money (can't have radar fail in the middle of the Strait of Malacca), and that's why Elon relies on his army of fanboys, Elon's outrageous conduct is part of marketing.
> You'd just reach a path that has not been implemented yet, break, implement it and continue.

This is exactly what I do with the PyCharm - hit a breakpoint, write the code as it should be, and execute it in the debug REPL to do basic initial testing [repeat]. Extremely productive.

Phoenix has made strides, but largely because it started from such a low, low bar. Exemplified by the Navajo Generating Plant, one of the largest coal fired power plants ever built, just to power pumps for lifting Colorado River water 2900ft up to Phoenix.

Not to mention the damage to the Colorado, which no longer has enough flow to reach the ocean. That “Net groundwater contributor” comment? It’s because Phoenix drains the Colorado and pumps it into the city’s private aquifers
Strong disagreement here! 1984 was about an opiated, programmed masses. Everyone was heads down, keeping to themselves in that world, doing as they were told, receptive. It was the ultimate spectator culture. Subservience was required, radical participation, radical inclusivity (thinking of others) was not.

You might be scared of strong messaging- a common thema to both scenarios- but the messages are about as opposite as it gets: RECEIVE versus BE.

Since being a school kid, I have felt that a lot of the world keeps a very very very strong filter up. They don't engage, they don't see most of the world around them, they selectively pick & choose a very limited part of the world to acknowledge & engage in. It's taken me a long long time to see & acknowledge how scary the world can be, to learn to empathize with how burdensome the outside world is, how infrequently being non-spectator & being receptive & engaged is rewarded, how usually slim those rewards are.

In many ways, there's a bit of a tragedy, especially in cities, where engaged people too often are not entirely well, not entirely kind, are not just engaged or interested benevolently but angling to attention, up to something.

I still really prefer a world where we can be heads up, aware of each other, aware of the world about us, casually participatory with each other as we go about. It's such a waste of personage, of society, when people keep to themselves, wrap themselves in their tight knit world, shut themselves off to the world: radical participation seems like such a natural expectation, such a natural way for each of us to be ante-ing in, a little bit, to the world we inhabit. Inclusivity to not tune each other out. But alas, yes, there is also quite the din in the world, many visible & worse & more dangerously many not obviously apparent unpleasant noisemakers out there, good reasons to just go about quietly, on your way, staying in your own world.
Not all highways work like this. Take I-87 in New York for example. Thankfully most of those roads are slowly changing exit numbers so they follow the sane convention you describe!

Dell & Co do buy from AMD, so I think it's not quite that. Admittedly right now their laptop search tool indicates that they sell 130 models with Intel processors, while AMD is relegated to the 15" Inspirons and Alienware laptops. But still. It seems like maybe there's got to be some more subtle reason why you're not seeing them in the Chromebooks or XPS 13s than just that they're devoted to one manufacturer and shutting the other one out.

Using a generated pagename as a key.

You create a cms. You store each page with a 16 character name as the key and you use that as the url/pagename.

What about storing the ip for login attempts. You store the ip and date and use that information to rate limit. The ip is the primary id.

Password reset, you store the unique code you sent in the email as the key.

Country codes. The 2 or 3 short name makes as a key over a number if you want to limit joins.

Bitcoin key.

Anything token, key related, anywhere where you want to enforce no duplicates like a ssn.
An Elon Musk hater here:

Starlink provides an excellent example of a deeper problem I see with new technology vs. traditional infrastructure. We know how to do broadband in rural places. We do it all over the planet. We simply tax income and spend it on infrastructure.

Elon Musk (and the likes) see an opportunity to disrupt this simple answer and make money selling a different unproven solution that has the potential to be at best as good. For me this is bad news. If politicians get sold by the likes of Elon Musk, it will stand in the way of traditional proven infrastructure and—in the case of starlink—fast and affordable broadband connection for rural communities.
> Too many vehicles fail this, and frankly it’s repulsive for something you buy for 5-6 figures.

What's repulsive is the way many people live in AZ.

Literal hot take: maybe people living in one of the hottest places on Earth shouldn't expect to have the same consumer experience (without modulating their habits). IMHO, AZ is chock full of human hubris. Pools, fountains, water features, grass lawns, and golf courses.

Why should people expect to live as if it were Cascadia or New England with water consumption? Same with car performance. Maybe you don't get to have an icy 68°F in your rolling greenhouse behind a 40,000BTU power plant at dead noon in the heckin desert.
Not really, it’s surface temperature is about 5800K, which is just middling for a star. Surface temperatures of blue supergiants can reach 50,000K.

I don't think that's how it works. (I just got mine)

When you fill in the info you will get a 24-hour-expiring link at the email/phone number. You provide the PIN to that to get the vaccine record.

Presumably you can activate it multiple times, and the only way an attacker would be able to access it is if they have email/phone access in which case it's moot anyways.
I don't see them closing down their public api. It's pretty hard to police such things when you have one.

>we find that cameras are concentrated in commercial, industrial, and mixed zones, and in neighborhoods with higher shares of non-white residents

Looks like they are only looking for the old school external CCTV cameras. If they looked for more modern cameras like Ring and friends I bet the result would change quite a bit. Not sure how easy that is to spot with street view though.
The thing to keep in mind is that, essentially, preventing aging is the endgame of medicine as a science. Right now, enormous amounts of resources are used by healthcare systems everywhere in the world to care for the elderly. And even then, all this effort eventually fails.

What I'm trying to say is that just from an economic point of view, it's more beneficial to rejuvenate people enough that they don't have any age-related conditions than to treat those conditions. Even if the cost of whatever the rejuvenation intervention is is high. So, IMO, it's very unlikely that we'll see a class division, especially in countries with universal healthcare.
If there were specific criteria that I could share in an HN comment, they would be used for hiring and immediately collapse under Goodhart’s law. Your question is almost tautologically bad - If I were able to answer it in a brief HN post, my answer would be bullshit.

You can accurately probe competence by asking people questions about their thought process, their current hypotheses, etc. If there are $BIGNUMBER tests for competence, you only need to ask $SMALLNUMBER of them to make an accurate determination as long as the person being asked doesn’t know them ahead of time! This is the same trick many zero-knowledge proof algorithms use.
They work! At least the "F.." ones do.

What? No it shouldn't. Retail consumers want to be able to afford this thing and their use case is plenty "real". It can't cost $10,000+ per unit. Maybe in the future they can create an industrial/military grade unit but that's clearly not required for the mass market product.

This is a heartbreaking interview for anyone who loves Hackaday. That community is amazing and it's obvious Siemens doesn't properly appreciate it. It speaks volumes that they basically ignored every question about Hackaday. If you haven't listened to the Hackaday podcast it's truly a gem. Maybe the community could come together and pool resources to purchase itself from Siemens and spin off as a nonprofit?
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert either.

I don't think so. CP violation means if you flip charge and parity, you can tell the difference (the Kaon experiment).

But if you flip charge, parity and time all at the same time, so far there's no experiment that says you can tell the difference (CPT symmetry).

In fact, it is my understanding that CPT invariance + broken time symmetry implies broken CP symmetry.
Then why have vesting as well?
Well, more generally speaking comonads encode costate i.e. context, but I haven’t yet seen them being used represent time. Do you have a link to the paper?
Which is impressive, given the turnover rate for gaming PCs is probably not that high.
Kinda think Adafruit screwed this one up by virtue of their timing.

If it’s still a “planned acquisition” you can bet your ass nobody is going to say anything substantial about real plans, synergies, changes or well anything really.

Of course you’re gonna get a bunch of PR bullshit and “no comments”. The other comments here interpreting this as Siemens not knowing what they’re doing / it being a warning sign misses the mark.
So much for HIPAA.
At some point humans cannot villainize conversations about population control. Yes, it has social consequences and problems. On the other hand, allowing countries to average 7 children per woman is the path to destruction. Unfortunately, yes, this would exacerbate class issues, and there doesn’t appear to be a good solution. The worst part is the generational wealth-the rapid (re?)growth of the do-nothing scion/aristocrat class in the western world. There will be a bloody wealth redistribution event eventually in the future, medicine like this could certainly accelerate it.
I run a Matrix server with Dendrite, it was pretty easy to set up. My biggest complaint is the RAM usage, but if you don't join large rooms it's fine.

Yes actually, any hobbyist who has done anything with drones and localization via optical flow positioning understands the problem.

The commentator is correct. And saying something is done wrong is not the same as saying someone is incompetent.

While I understand you're trying to point out hubris, you're swaying the other way and appealing to authority.
