I guess just fine is a matter of opinion. Connection setup and piece bitmap tracking seems like more overhead than HTTP range requests.

Neat! What can you imagine might be applications for exotic particles like this? (even if if it's a stretch or fictional)
Yes, my comment was a bit hyperbolic. However, if we're going to have a prayer of handling the worst problems we've ever faced as a species in a way that future generations will be remotely proud of, we need a media that doesn’t profit from the exact opposite occurrence.
I’ve been using a spaced repetition flashcard program called SuperMemo every day for more than 15 years. It has worked really well for long term retention on stuff I’ve made flashcards about, which includes languages and other stuff I find interesting.

I think the phrase conspiracy theorist needs to be put to rest. Maybe something like "he believes some wild conspiracy theories like X" would be more meaningful. One would have to be pretty ill informed to not be able to list off a dozen recent events where world governments conspired against the public for profit or power.

This is either erroneous thinking or intentionally misleading. Conflating "outlasting" with "safe" is problem number 1. Problem number two is they said "any western country" and you picked one pretty far down the list. Many western countries have a life expectancy well into the 80's so your citation only works against their argument.

Data shows how many vaccinated Americans have tested positive

> At least 125,000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive for Covid and 1,400 of those have died, according to data collected by NBC News.

Correction: Here is the submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28009803

According to the CDC, as of July 19, ... only 849 [fully vaccinated individuals hospitalized] have died of covid-19.

That's a 65% increase in the known deaths.
This comment isn't terribly useful. If you were aiming for useful and not just cynical, you might add something about why you think they may have done so already, or what he should do differently if they had.

This is actually what’s happening with the partitioning of the information streams in the US. Even if everyone had identical brains, everyone operates on partial information of the world. If you provide left wing material to one group, and right wing material to the other group, they’ll polarize exactly as you’d expect, even being identical people existing in the same world.

The problem isn’t balanced across the political spectrum, though - it just so happens that the right wing has a faultier take on reality than the left wing, but there’s no reason that couldn’t flip in the near future.

A beetles eye cannot see a star as mentioned.

The moon will also stop them seeing the Milky Way.

At best, they use the Milky Way on moonless, low cloud nights, the time of year when it's observable.

As a human it's incredibly interesting to know if beetles actually use the Milky Way. For AI research it is also relevant.

But we are sitting so close to stupid, there needs more proof.

It does mean the proof matters. For the occasions a beetle could see the Milky Way did it's little brain come with pre-existing programming? or can store the Milky Way's image?. Which of the two is it, or is it something else?

Unfortunately logic is it's just not true, or a boring it stores any old big blob. It would be interesting from a vision perspective, they don't need lidar or night vision better than blobs. Moonlit clouds makes far more sense, and the anti-fighting theory still works for a somewhat consistent moving grid of clouds. Maybe there are no clouds where they are.
It's also slowest of all the string functions. Additionally, providing the NULL as the buffer argument does all the work of creating the actual string you're going to copy (in the case of using multiple format characters) and then discarding it. So you have to do the format operation twice, doubling the cost of any string operation.

Oh and it's not compatible with UTF-8.

(Intentionally crafted) large metadata in a video file (which can be very large anyway, so 2GB extra doesn't stand out). A string field in a (machine-generated) JSON/XML dataset. And like tomohawk says, lack of a mechanism that prevents accruing large blobs (for example not limiting the size of an incoming HTTP header in a web server).
And someone keeps a relatively up-to-date .slob file with the entire wikipedia (that can be read with Aard2), which I find more useful than kiwix!

The reason this caught my eye was that it looks like a mechanical instantiation of a Fourier series, and resembles epicycles, which are a similar sort-of Fourier decomposition of elliptical orbits.
Research libraries aren't exactly rich. Their regular budget barely covers employees, maintenance, subscriptions, and new releases, so they don't tend to splurge on such "collectibles".

It's also quite common for individuals' archives to be donated to libraries, since they provide the service of maintaining it and allowing public access. Plus, they are non-profits.

So it's not completely unlike taking your dog to an animal shelter and expecting money. Maybe not quite as extreme, and not morally wrong or anything, but probably just unusual, and it may not even have registered with the person that they are negotiating.
This sort of comment is actually worse than the thing it is attempting to denigrate. "The media" isn't lying to you. "The media" is a smokescreen that lumps a wildly diverse collection of information purveyors under one, inaccurate and overly generalized, umbrella. Some media seeks to find the truth, some seeks only to manipulate you. Some is built from the ground up to push an agenda (political, religious, etc.), some was built to make money and some was built to speak truth to power. This last should not be lumped in with the rest, even when it disagrees with YOUR personal agenda. There are a great number of journalists that seek to reveal truth, to confront the powerful when they abuse their positions and to attempt to reveal and expose our failings. Don't discount them with inaccurate and dismissive comments like this. The best of them may be the only thing between you and the depredations of those that control our lives and places like the US, where laws provide at least some protection for these journalists and where a tradition of journalistic integrity at least has the possibility of being followed give such journalists a chance to do what they do so well.
Yes they should. Most government secrets aren't in the people's best interest.

Don't use sizeof. If you pass in a pointer you're going to get the size of the pointer, not the length of the string buffer.

Have you used eBay significantly or so you avoid it because of the reasons you just posted?

I’ve replaced Amazon completely with eBay and have been using eBay for the past 4 years. I have never received a product I didn’t order using eBay. I wish I could say the same for Amazon.
And in France it's 82.7 years, the wealth of the US doesn't directly translate to good life expectancy, especially when you've got so many inequalities. The highest life expectancy is at 85 years in Japan. The average life exepctancy in the world in 72.6 years, 79 in Europe, 82.5 in Western Europe. With all due respect to Tunisia, it's better than average but still lower than "any western country".
I think that says more about the state's being defined badly than about the companies.

$2, if my math is right.

As pointed out elsewhere, there's some basic work being done to prevent everyone from grabbing the .db file, but it's easy enough to bypass.

Also, they're probably seeing non-zero API call charges. S3 only charges $0.0004 per 1000 calls, but when you start to make lots of calls at scale, it can really add up. Still, for this site, it's probably not that bad. If my simple tests are a fair judge, it works out to something like $20 a month for 100k lookups.

I've mentioned elsewhere on HN I used a similar technique with Python to query SQLite databases in S3. It works well, but there was an edge case on that project that resulted in millions of requests to S3 per invocation. It didn't break the bank, but it did push the project into the unprofitable range till we fixed that case.
You could implement strcpy(a, b) as memcpy(a, b, strlen(b) + 1), but it would be slower, since it makes two separate passes over b (one to calculate the size, one to copy).

The post seems to be arguing that in most cases where you would call strcpy, you should know the size already, because otherwise you wouldn't know whether the source string was short enough to fit in the destination buffer.
I'm not sure everyone agrees that it hurt the show. I liked it, I thought it went with the cartoony, not-too-serious theme. Plus it exposed me to great music and weird music videos.

There are strong reasons to believe that tasks that are new to humans and are considered difficult, will be easy to AI. Like programming, finance, strategy, etc

The "big town" (8000 residents) near my town (2500 residents) rejected Walmart on these grounds 25 years ago. The town that accepted Walmart has grown tremendously whereas my big town has 14 empty storefronts on the two main streets which is about 25 percent of the walkable storefronts. It's probably a confounding factor more related to my town's resistance to change and growth than the fact that Walmart isn't there but that's my anecdata.

No. They can always buy a house in some small rural town. They chose to buy in more expensive places up to what they can borrow. Some people will buy a house a 1 hour commute from their work because that's all they can afford while others will be only 30 minutes away. I wanted to live closer to the nearby city but couldn't afford it so I ended up in a more distant poor suburb.

The naming of things is such a debatable topic, but such an important one. I've seen the name of programming functions with odd phrases, that might not be clear if someone wasn't a native English speaker.

I've also incorporated naming structures for off-site jobs, using job numbers as a prefix, and then a 'readable' word afterwards. That seems to work.

Lately, I've picked up making my git branches with name/service/subject/something-additional (for example). This seems to keep things organized instead of having to search through mountains of files.

Even the naming of my family's photo files is still under debate. Doing just year/month gives no context, and usually we search by subject (camping at Mt Shasta, for example). I don't remember the specific date. Or what about first child walking? I don't remember that date either, but having a year/subject/month folder may help.

And restructuring is a pain! Any method started is usually retained.
Pretty much this. I have friends in Singapore and they kept case numbers very low and didn’t feel a lot of pressure to secure vaccine supplies ASAP. Then subsequent waves hit and they realized “were going to stay locked down for 5 years if we don’t vaccinate”.

Sounds like goal post shifting honestly. The mRNA clinical trials were done with 2 doses. It was sold as 90%+ effective on the 200 people they studied (erroneously claimed as over 40,000 people but I digress - that's information for only detailed oriented people to discover).

Now suddenly a 3rd is necessary? What happens when that fails, a second booster? A yearly vaccine like the flu shot (which barely works anyways)? Unfortunately for us humans, nature finds a way.

Speaking of nature, you know what confers full immunity? Having the infection and then recovering or having cross reactive immunity from a previous coronavirus strain.

Natural immunity is the undisputed champion of immunity.

>If you want a hint for which one is which: one asserts that every living person has basic human rights. The other has frequent videos of people ignoring people who are dying...

A big argument I see by Chinese nationalists online, which I think carries validity, is that Western governments who enshrine human rights and democracy in their constitutions throw their weight behind horrific dictators that support their business interests and suppress democratic movements that don't.

Basically, Western governments aren't more moral than China; just more constrained by our institutions.

Regarding the lack of good samaritanism in China, this is a recent thing stemming from a 2000s legal case where a man was sued after taking an injured girl to hospital.
Most Chinese, especially the older ones, find this aspect of their culture abhorrent and there are active campaigns against it in several cities.

The wheel has an overall neutral charge. Does this change whether it emits anything from these charges rotating?

If we are modeling thing with classical electromagnetism (I don’t understand enough to attempt to apply quantum mechanics to this), we can treat point charges as having a Dirac delta function for their charge density function.
If you take linear combination of Dirac delta functions, with each having a positive or negative coefficient, and these being roughly evenly spaced out in a fixed region (e.g. the wheel shape), and take the limit as the magnitude of the coefficients goes to zero while the number of deltas goes to infinity (with the two being inversely proportional),
shouldn’t the correspond signed measure converge to the zero measure, so, a charge density function of zero?

So, shouldn’t a macroscopic object (which has a very large number of atoms) be well approximated as having zero charge density?
Of course, this is only an approximation, it doesn’t have exactly zero net effect on the electric field,

but if it is a good approximation, especially at a distance, I would think that would suggest that such an object accelerating should produce at least less EM radiation than a similar object with a large net charge?

But, I’m reasoning heuristically atm, and am not being especially careful, so I could very well be wrong here.
The only thing that I find a bit disheartening is that typing in Ruby diverged between the official Ruby 3 implementation and Sorbet. It would have been much better, in my opinion, if there was one typing solution that both Ruby core team and Stripe worked together on.
