I am a fan of the commodore 128 as it has c64 mode as well as ability to be a bit more powerful. the trs series also has some fun quirks, zx spectrum is a good starter machine readily available still. The one thing i am currently looking forward to is the commander x16 is a in progress "new" retro computer made by a group of enthusiasts to try to use as many legacy components as possible. they already have an emulator set up so can play around with writing assembly for a retro pc on modern infrastructure with hope of soon having real new manufacturable hardware for it.
The variables are way, way too carried to make any broad claims.

I've fixed production bugs in literal minutes. Because the service was web API, that reported error as soon as that endpoint was hit. Sentry gave all the info I needed to know exactly what was wrong. Our procedures and tools for hotfixing made rolling out super fast.

Same bug in smartform app would have been days, and dependent on user upgrades.

Same bug in industrial or medical, etc proly months and much more dev effort due to testing verificatiin.

Point being bug cost has more to due with platform(web, app, desktop, embedded), ops environment(game vs lives at risk), and how much effort has been prespent in clean codebase, procedures, monitoring and tools. Than dev/prod environment.

We do incarcerate a lot, however, keep in mind some of it has to do with the dismantling of the equally problematic mental health institutions beginning in the late sixties.

In broad strokes, Zuckerberg says some things I agree with here re: interoperability, but I just can't look past the fact that it's Zuckerberg... I'm not sure there's any single entity I trust less than Facebook to make this vision happen in a way that isn't completely user-hostile.
I don't usually like being too political, but as a brit I came here to say the same.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, I know at least 15 people who got some kind of art degree, they pefer to work brutal late-night shifts at a pizza shop or deliver food/drive Uber than take a spreadsheet jockey temp job, even if it pays 3x as much.
Man, if Zuckerberg ran for president in 2016 we would have most certainty avoided Trump. He is truly the Napoleon of our time, charismatic, cunning and always expanding his reign across the world. It's really a shame that the government keeps trying regulate it. Democrats should back off, Zuckerberg could easily replace them with AI Deepfakes and the masses wouldn't care, much less notice the difference.
The modern standard library, plus some helpers is the big part of it. Compiler warnings as errors are very good at capturing bad situations if you follow the rules (e.g. don't allow people to just make raw pointers, follow a rule of 5). I never said it was as easy to do as in rust.

As for tooling, things like valgrind provide an excellent mechanism for ensuring that the program was memory safe, even in it's "unsafe" areas or when calling into external libraries (something that rust can't provide without similar tools anyway).

My broader point is that safety is more than just a compiler saying "ok you did it", though that certainly helps. I would trust well written safety focused C++ over Rust. On the other hand, I would trust randomly written Rust over C++. Rust is good for raising the lower end of the bar, but not really the top of it unless paired with a culture and ecosystem of safety focus around the language.

No, the insulation in a solid dielectric transmission lines is cross-linked polyethylene, or paper in fluid-cooled lines. Lines are designed to operate well within the thermal capabilities of the insulation, and there is no such thing as routine replacement of undamaged underground lines.

Above-ground transmission lines are uninsulated because they don't need to be, and the extra weight of the insulation would require more expensive towers.
It isn't dissuading people from exposing "govt wrongdoing". Information that is confidential is not the same thing as "govt wrongdoing" or non-public. No-one is being dissuaded because the same situation would exist before as after (this is something that reporting on this topic is eliding, this point isn't being explicitly but it is implied...and it is wrong).

And investigative journalism does not only relate to non-public information either. Every journalist thinks they are Carl Bernstein, and you actually look at what they write about and is just salacious, Westminster bubble nonsense that no normal human cares or knows about. So we have the situation we have today, and there is very little serious scrutiny of the govt. Ooooh, a top adviser went to Barnard Castle? Ooooh, a SPAD who has been leaking me stories was fired? Get Carl Bernstein on the case. Utter nonsense.

First to clarify; Starlink points north in the northern hemisphere.

Your satellite TV dish is talking to something 36,000km up in geosynchronous orbit, around the equator. That's to the south of you.

Starlink are in 550km orbits moving very fast around the planet in a fairly inclined orbit. As another commenter has said, the apparent effect is the cluster tends to "hang out" in the north. It's complicated, a good visualization should help explain it. I don't have one at my fingertips.

Slim = 1 / 100 unvaccinated.

Still want to gamble? I would never take that risk, unless forced.

And was. Caught covid when the chance of death was about 7 percent. Damn near ended up in a hospital. Scary shit. Chance of longer term symptoms is higher, 5 percent maybe?

Chance of death on a vaccination is much lower, 1 / maybe 100,000 very worst case?

Now, here is the hard part:

Chance of infection?

Well, if we vaccinated everyone, that will go to very good odds. Many may never be infected.

However, since we currently are not doing that, virus mutation means odds are great you will eventually get covid. And it could mutate into forms that are worse and or that nullify vaccinations and we start this crap over.

It is in the world now. We did not catch it in time.

More vaccinated people = less mutation = lower risk for all humans.

This is a when and what risk to take discussion. Very few will avoid this entirely. Odds are overwhelming that will not be you.

Good luck!

When you get covid, do you want to face it with or without the benefit of science?

The k8s API: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/kubernetes-api/

Most distributions will use the stock kubelet process (what runs containers on nodes), but you don't have to--there are kubelet compatible processes to run VMs instead of containers, run webassembly code (krustlet), etc.

Everything in k8s can be swapped out and changed, the API spec is the only constant.
So with all that being said, your solutions is to ostracise more people? That checks out.
It seems like the UK certainly imprisons fewer people, which can affect the tenor of the conversation.
>That is, if meaning shifts, you must bust your cache on conclusions that follow out from the original meaning.

Certainly. But most of the time the problem is not people that have a "stale case", but that know perfectly well what the new meaning is, but are opposed to others using the word in that sense for ideological or pedantic reasons.

I mean, nobody really thinks "I'm literally dead from exhaustion" means I'm actually dead. They know perfectly well what it means, and have no meaning-cache issue. They just want to be pedantic...
It's not just the platforms; many advertising-supported sites are in crisis for reasons I don't completely understand.

The symptom I've seen is that many sites I've followed for years (e.g arstechnica, anandtech, audioholics, just to start with "a") have (in the last 4 months) gone to a reduced production rate, started running junk sponsored articles, and have dropped quality.

Some inputs are: ad blockers, ad blocker blockers, anti-tracking on the part of Apple and others, skepticism over click fraud, increased conflict in the "supply chain", drop in screen time now that we're in the eye of the covid storm, etc.

When did congress members start posting to HN?
More like:

- The media thinks that people will read an article about "inappropriate" content on YouTube.

- YouTube gets embarrassed and tries to remove inappropriate content.

- The media thinks that people will read an article about "appropriate" content being flagged on YouTube.

I feel like YouTube just made the mistake of jumping onto this never-ending treadmill of trying to please the media.

Of course that isn't the entire problem. They do "need" to remain attractive to advertisers. So demonetization (or at least some "safe for all advertisers flag") needs to exist so that conservative advertisers keep finding the platform attractive. (However I feel the response could have been much finer grained. For example allow advertisers to opt-into different categories of "inappropriate" content. For example some brands have not problems being next to violent content. This way you would still make less money from an "inappropriate" video but you would at least take home something.).

Ask HN: Data about language discernment speed in reading?
Is there anything that can point at the speed of cognition of reading discernment/interpretation of subtitles of movies/shows?

Basically, the interest is in the ability to read a sentence vs hear it spoken bewilders me:

If I watch a movie spoken in korean, I obviously need to have subtitle as I cannot speak/understand korean. So I read the subtitles.

Yet I prefer to watch all english shows with subtitles because I can read faster than the speaker may speak, and also I like to increase the speed of any video to 1.25 or 1.5X speed to hurry up the message.

Do other, non-english-native speakers do the same?

Is it the same for Chinese, Swedish, French, whatever native-speakers to do this?

Language at its base is a symbolic representation of ideas and thought, and its easier to absorb information in symbols and such as it is. This is where the idea of imbuing information (emotions) into logos come from...

It is where writing comes from.

Are some languages easier/faster to understand via their writing vs their spoken word?

The "edit Confluence in 'markdown'" looks like a good case, I see interest on Confluence site for importing markdown into Confluence (a no-go since the goal might be to keep content as markdown) [0] and support for a keep-low-level-content-as-editable-markdown [1]. I'd look forward to seeing how Atlassian would keep markdown content since I'm not sure that relative links between documents would work well in an Atlassian model, as well as other stuff. Plus Atlassian would probably want to let biz-types edit the same document in WYSIWIG while keeping the content in low-level markdown, meaning they'd have to severely constrain the content type in the WYSIWIG editor or create some hybrid markdown/Atlassian document type.

As described it sounds more like MDMA (aka ecstasy or molly, and also part of the amphetamine family); while not harm free it's not nearly as strongly associated with abuse or negative health outcomes as methamphetamine. We have to guess about dose, but I'd say most party drug consumers aim to balance the pleasure of dancing all night with the ability to do so on an ongoing basis.

Default LaTeX fonts give me a nasty uncomfortable feeling in the stomach by reminding me of Math and CS tests. I'm not generally sensitive, so it's somewhat amusing a font can have such emotional impact.

As a typeface aficionado I've spent way too much time building font catalogues such as this in the early 2000s; it's good to see that both quality and quantity of freely available fonts has gone up.

Then again, there are experiments conducted on silent-reading/fast-reading people (yes, those people being university students) that show that if they're asked to read aloud, they actually comprehend less of what they've just read than when they read silently.

Being a fast reader and a generally quite person myself, I can confirm that: in my case it happens, I believe, because my attention shifts to speaking.

I agree that tracking is oversellign itself, and sadly, the monopolization of ads has led to more and more, and worse ads being shown on websites. I do however want the sites i visit to make money, through advertising if possible. It's the most direct and easy way, since we are not yet allowed to have direct peer-to-peer payments on the web without 17 rent-seeking middlemen eating them up. As much as advertisers are to blame for pushing tracking vs other advertising channels, the payment gatekeepers are worse

Gotta remember the double whammy here. Starlink is mostly rolled out at higher latitudes where solar power is less effective. Still, solar is cheaper than utility power most of the time. Might need 1.5 of those panels. Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't consider off-grid unless I had like a 5KWh array at a minimum. Probably with wood burning stove as primary heating source if I really couldn't expand that solar for electric heating due to cost.

With heat inverter pump tech. taking over fridges, water heaters, AC, etc. and making them so much more efficient, it can give a lot of headroom on energy requirements.

Another thing I perceived is would isolate themselves from other groups and think of themselves as the cool kids, same with the sporty folks. Then you have just the regular nerds who aren't impressed by either group.
For my college class, the following turned true...
Group smokers ended on social ladder at the dole or slightly above or below it.
Sports group, none of them turned to Messi or Ronaldo or a new Michael Jordan, they held average jobs, did alcohol and other recreational things and created a family.
Group nerd all ended up in very prestigious job segments, some with "global head of " etc titles, some of them went through nasty divorces maybe they didn't gain social competence or street wiseness while studying but at least they are economically safe.

My take away lesson was that it's too hard to recover from group 1 and move on.

That is my personal study and that's all I need to know. The scientists can figure out the rest, I don't know how much a factor drugs and alc play, there's always other factors as well.
The term "metaverse" is so ill-defined and buzzwordy. I doubt that anything considered a metaverse would come from such a closed-system approach that Facebook is so fixed on.

All hype is "bad" for science. Hype implies emotional investment or faith in an expectation, and science is specifically about challenging expectations (i.e. hypotheses) via practical experimentation.

There is plenty of experimental research, and early practical results, being achieved in quantum computing. There is also lots of snake oil being peddled by sleazy entrepreneurs. This is true for all developing fields.
There's no bug that could possibly cause that behavior. Someone requested a ride and then cancelled it. Maybe they requested both an Uber and a Lyft and went with the one that was going to pick them up faster. Or they just changed their minds and cancelled the ride for some other reason.

Also, we value driver privacy as much as rider privacy, so the same privacy guidelines apply there. The only way to get someone to look at a specific event is to file a support ticket and have the support agent go through our system. Any other method of access is basically forbidden.

Yes, I think more and more we are seeing that. The post was flagged, but it's worth a discussion.

Anecdotally, under previous names, I've noticed that before on HN thoughtful conversations could happen when it came to politics. I'm finding less and less of that to be true, and more posts are becoming flagged/flame wars.

The package vfplot [1] is still available and still under development, it's rather hard to use in that there are lots of parameters to adjust to get decent looking output. There's also an issue in that the "dimension climbing" approach means putting an ellipse at each boundary corner and then as many as you can fit on the line-segment between them, there are lots of ways that this can fail for complex boundaries (coastlines, for example). I think I've fixed this using the fact that "a line segment is a degenerate ellipse", so one can actually calculate a "distance" between a line-segment and an ellipse in almost the same way as one calculates the distance between ellipses. The code for this is in a branch on GitLab [2], but there is still quite a bit of work to do for the 2.0 release (later this year?).

I guess that's the thing with psychiatry: the whole field is pretty far away from basic science, mechanisms etc. My (second hand) understanding is it actually triggers schizofrenia in 16 y.o. people who would not otherwise have gotten it. Not sure if it's clinical experience or if there is data to back it up. The 16 yo-scenario is one of the few medical arguments I've heard for why there should be an age limit on marijuana.
> Mike Lynch sold Autonomy to US computer giant Hewlett Packard (HP) for $11bn in 2011.

> He denies allegations that he fraudulently inflated the value of Autonomy before the sale.

So the company is actually worth what? Let's say one half, $5 billion, and HP expects to make how much more? Let's say at least twice, $22 billion. That's a large margin. Unless they expected to make just $11.5 billion from it.
A cure for aging only needs to get through human clinical trials for treating one aging-associated condition like osteoporosis. Once it has FDA approval for treating that one condition it can be prescribed off-label by a willing physician. If the osteoporosis treatment has unusual side effects of also making skin appear more youthful, improving short term memory, and increasing libido, then there will probably be a lot of off-label prescriptions written a few years later.

So if you have a great way to cure aging but are worried that the FDA does not recognize aging as a condition, that's how you get the treatment to market.
