Yeah, there are things that I wish would "click" for me, too.

I have come to believe that recreational play can be a process of reinforcing the ability to acquire new skills. Or play, like dreaming, can be an unconscious way of sorting out new experiences against the frameworks you already possess.

As I wrote this, I was struck by the literal sense of the Engligh word: "re-creation".

My best work as a programmer has always come to me as I am walking, or in the shower as I wake up. My worst work has always been sleep-deprived nonsense.

While the Brontë sisters' imaginary world may have no intrinsic value, it may well be that the experience of creating such a thing led them to success in other ways.
Same here. I thought, "What does Unity want with a parsing library written in Haskell, and why is it worth $320M?"
"A chronically homeless person costs the tax payer an average of $35,578 per year. Costs on average are reduced by 49.5% when they are placed in supportive housing. Supportive housing costs on average $12,800, making the net savings roughly $4,800 per year."

This has been known for a long time. It costs the public less to provide direct federal and state-financed housing for the homeless than to keep them on the streets. Finland and many other countries do this and they have the happiest people in the world. States like Utah have also implemented successful programs based on this model. The question isn't what do we do, it's why aren't we doing what we know works.
Most of the people that really need a certain amount of bandwidth per core are probably better off buying CPUs with fewer cores.
Entirely unrelated fun fact: my love for your service started a good number of years ago when you worked with me directly on a specific challenge (subject: "Any way to pay for shodan without Paypal?"). Glad to see the service is continuing to thrive! And that you're engaged in conversation/feedback on HN.
A lot of South Bay residents are still unaware of how many homeless people are living here. If you want to see the real extent of the problem go for a bike ride along any of our creek trails. Some areas are packed full of tents and makeshift shelters.

If you're in a position to donate some money I know HomeFirst Services does good work.

Are there even enough vacant housing units in that area for all the homeless if you ignore the price?
TBH I'm not sure exactly what the hardware entails, I just work on the same floor as a couple labs that use the fMRI facilities so I know how much people stress over booking time on the machines. They somewhat recently added a new one that has stronger magnets but the older ones are still frequently booked solid too.

From a neuroscience perspective I do think the good fMRI labs have improved their analyses over time. One thing increasing in popularity that has been helpful IMO is scanning the same participant across multiple days. It's a pain in the ass to get people to come back so it has generally been the norm to scan each participant in a study only once. But more powerful analysis techniques can be performed with these multi-scan datasets, as heterogeneity between and within individuals can be better accounted for.

This review focuses on the default network, but it mentions how the discovery that the default network is actually multiple networks that were being blurred together was enabled by the multi-scan approach. It also gives a decent general gist of some of the things that have been reliably reported in fMRI research versus some things that are lacking, but mainly just from the perspective of questions about the default network: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31492945/

I also like the following paper as a deep dive into the scans of a single person, because he splits apart some seemingly small things like having coffee/breakfast in the morning and shows the effect on scan results. I also think a multi-modal approach is really helpful, so I appreciate the other datatypes included. Plus it's kind of funny the PI wrote a paper entirely about himself: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9885

So yeah I think there is some self reflection and progress being made in the field in a meta sense, it just unfortunately can be drowned out (especially for people in other fields or even subfields of neuro) by the sheer popularity of shitting out fMRI papers.
Sure, that's an option, but then the next person will still have to deal with it. And you can do that but while making arrangements why not make some noise about it too? Maybe things will change, maybe they won't, but if you're already one foot out the door, "what can they do, fire me?"
Is Saito the Future of Blockchain?
Multiple case studies and real world examples show the opposite. It's cheaper to provide housing for the homeless, there's more success with drug/alcohol/mental illness programs when they have housing, and many of them do get a chance to re-enter the job market.
Not how I read it. To me it says Facebook.com cookies set through site A are separate from those stored through site B. Even if you never clear, fb cookies would no longer be a single cookie to link these, but separate.

Based on sib comment, it looks like it was related to a poor name sanitation / matching function (which says, to me, that's risky if you have untrusted names), but this could also be caused by a lazy or delayed deletion strategy.
I don't think that's true. Sure, at some point you stop producing economic value, but we don't mind people retiring at 65. What's so magical about that age?

If you contribute enough productive value (as determined by the free market, paid in some asset), why does it matter when you retire? I'm sure there is some endgame where we stop funding our consumption economy to the same degree we are now, but is that a reason to work until you can't anymore?

You can only kick up your feet if you've done enough "economic output" in the previous years, it's not a free lunch. This is coupled with the fact that most retired persons do invest and contribute capital. It's not at the same level as Mark Cuban, but does it really matter if you only invest a million vs 700 million+?
Not looking great as it doesn't have the option to input my car (Mazdaspeed Miata).

However if you move past that you do have the option to input your model as the MX5, MX-5 Miata and Miata. You could argue that the car we are talking about has had all 3 of those names over the years, but it makes you pick a year first, so you should know what name it has in 04.

Then you move on to the trim!

Zero options for trim for MX-5 Miata. Zero options for trim for Miata. 31 options for trim for MX-5, including ones that absolutely were not sold in 04 including "Grand Touring Manual 1-OWNER! ONLY 7K MILES!".

Really bad user experience.

Attributing a phenomenon to some high-level concept with no attempt to explain how the observed characteristics of said phenomenon can be causally linked to a concrete, specific instantiation of said high-level concept is, depending on the context, more commonly called a "superstition" or a "conspiracy theory".

"Clearing the camp likely will be difficult both logistically — it’s more challenging to remove structures and vehicles that don’t run than tents — and ethically — there are few places for the displaced residents to go."

This might be an unpopular opinion, but since when did kicking "a sprawling camp of dozens of people, a maze of broken-down vehicles and a massive amount of trash" off of your private property become unethical? I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in that kind of "ethical" world.
If we're doing the 'showstoppers on the Linux migration', I must yet again ask why no other file manager on any other operating system can do as Finder has been able to do since the 90s and display the total recursive size of a directory in bytes!

The combination of this feature (including sort-by this directory size when listing dir contents) and quicklook makes the Mac the only place I ever want to actually manage files, instead of dumping them in Downloads and declaring bankruptcy. Two basic features that would have me on Linux in a heartbeat. I'm begging you!

(Ironically, Windows Search is so useless compared to Spotlight that the give-up-and-dump-and-search approach works best on Mac too...)
Society is like a cargo net. Every knot that bails out makes it collectively less capable of bearing a total burden. I'm fine if these FIRE dreamers want to use their free time to invest into social and charitable causes, but the ones that just want to perma-vacation on society's economic margin are what annoy me. But I don't personally believe in retirement either.
TikTok is great because it values good content above else. Every other social media platform tends to value followers and popularity over content to reach people.

Facebook: Number of friends

Instagram: Number of followers

Twitter: Number of followers

Snapchat: Number of friends

YouTube: Unsure exactly, but hard to go viral

TikTok: Value of your content

Consistently on TikTok you see very popular users with millions of followers only get a few thousand views.

That’s the best part of TikTok. You make good content, and the platform puts you to the top. Your popularity does not matter. Everyone gets a fair chance. It’s absolutely fantastic.
The situations aren't really comparable. The core issue in Siberia is that the cold slows decomposition and builds up a layer of peat [1]. As the ecosystem experiences higher average temperatures and droughts, the peat not only dries out and combusts, it smolders underground for months or years at a time, sparking wildfires every time the humidity drops long enough to dry everything out again.

At one point, more than a third of the USSR's electricity (if not power) came from peat fueled generators so we're talking millions of square miles of almost completely inaccessible forest floor covered with a meters thick layer of material that is literally a precursor to coal deposits and dirtier to boot. The only feasible way of mitigating these fires (burning the peat for power) accelerates the very environmental effects causing them!

By comparison, California's ecology doesn't support peat formation and the PNW's access to the coast dampens the extreme weather that causes such extreme buildup (though it's becoming more and more of a problem). However, as you get deeper inland into Canada, Idaho, and Montana, the more the land starts to resemble Siberia so it's only a matter of time before we get similar wildfires.

Comments such as these display such a lack of empathy but yet they seem extremely prevalent on HN. What is it about some of the people who make up this community that makes them think life is as easy as simply choosing a better alternative to the current state?

It’s like telling a depressed person to just stop being sad. Life doesn’t work like that.
Teleperformance is one of the worst companies I’ve ever come to know.
Besides paying terribly (think less than 2 USD/hr), they’ve stole wages by way of metric manipulation, denied vacation entitlements, restricted the amount of bathroom breaks, forced 10-13 hr days where you get 2 hours of lunch break (yay but actually they just don’t need you for that time but you’re stuck at work), trying to force people into wfh… you get the picture.

It makes you appreciate first world employment comforts because this is a company that will happily take any advantage it can.

Just because a car is advertised for $X, doesn't mean it is worth $X, especially as both cars you linked have been for sale for over 4 months. If a car hasn't been sold for 4 months, you are asking too much.
>If I retire by early and through compounding interest amass a fortune that would allow my children to retire before they even enter the work force, is that ethical?

It's easy to argue it's unethical by invoking utilitarianism. Unfortunately that also means basically anyone with a white collar job in the first world are unethical, which I'm not sure most people would agree. Other than that I can't think of any convincing for why that's unethical.

This subverts the notion of what "static" means here. "Static" means "private to this translation unit".

Usage of the linker in modern C has been moving in the opposite direction, IMO, towards keeping the interface between the compiler and linker simple. For example, it looks like the trend is towards eliminating the use of "common" variables--GCC now defaults to -fno-common.

You can still get all sorts of fancy stuff with LTO turned on. But if you want no duplicates, you can express that intent by choosing a specific translation unit to contain the duplicates.

Oregon has a significant amount of private forest land in the southwest. I would be interested to see the amount of fires that are on private forest land vs public forest land as the private land it clear cut and then planted, grown, thinned and then clear cut again. I would guess that based on growing up in that state and it’s extreme environmental political undercurrent(Oregon has spawned a few eco-terror groups in its time) that most public land doesn’t get properly logged in Oregon.

Really a fascinating article. Doing serious performance work like this requires a surprising amount of manual digging and research. You’d think that by now we’d have better tools for this, and the tools we do have are decent for basic cases, but for anything serious is obscenely difficult to really pin anything down. Computers are beasts.

Homeowners in that area are required to remove brush and fuel around their houses by insurance companies. Why do you think thinning (cutting down live trees) is needed?

The link you give doesn't talk about thinning, and is (unusually) mostly talking about old growth forest. Is an organization preserving old growth forest actually calling for cutting down live trees?
It's unethical in the same place where building large apartment complexes on private land is also illegal. They have to have somewhere to go and people don't want their view blocked by a building.
You said a lot of words, and none answered my original question, which was concerning airships on regular trans-Atlantic service.

Again, your list has 0 of those.

My point is that those airships existed; and weather was not a problem for them. That's a counterexample to the claim that inclement issue is necessarily an issue for airships.

The fact that neither the Brits nor Americans could build and operate airships successfully is irrelevant.

Also, you should look up the definition of the word "contemporary". I am obviously not comparing 1920s airships to 2020s jet planes.

Here is a simple claim: airships were the safest way to cross the Atlantic by air during the entire time of their operation.

No other aircraft type even made it across the Atlantic on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, Between 1931 and 1937 the Graf Zeppelin crossed the South Atlantic 136 times.

During its career, Graf Zeppelin had flown almost 1.7 million km (1,053,391 miles), the first aircraft to fly over a million miles. It made 144 oceanic crossings (143 across the Atlantic, and one of the Pacific), carried 13,110 passengers and 106,700 kg (235,300 lb) of mail and freight. It flew for 17,177 hours (717 days, or nearly two years), without injuring a passenger or crewman.

It was retired after the Hindenburg disaster. Notably, Hindenburg has crossed the Atlantic 36 times in passenger service - which is still 36 more than what the airplanes could do. And its destruction 1)had little to do with winds, and 2)was not nearly as deadly as the disintegrations of early jet airliners, like DH Comet, with 100% fatality rate, repeatedly.

OK, tell me again how "airships just don't work in strong winds", I'll listen.
Oh interesting! I'll have to check it out!

Most cities, even those with large homeless populations, have many times more vacant homes. True even in regions with housing shortages like the SF Bay Area. Presumably in this fantasy scenario he'd buy some of those.
I know since they are inmates this might seem like this is a legitimate use of AI surveillance. But there is a benefice to protecting inmates from this kind of surveillance: it sets a very strong standard for privacy by saying that even inmates aren't subjecting to this.

My spouse also changed their name, so I don't think there's be any difference in ownership.
Yeah, the 1950s involved serious consideration of some truly horrific nuclear flight concepts, so I wouldn't be so dismissive of risk as a factor. Not like airliner crashes are awesome, but they don't drop a reactor core on whatever they crash into. Not to mention proliferation concerns, operator staffing requirements, security staffing requirements. There's very straightforward reasons nuclear powered flight on earth never went past the earliest exploration of a couple prototypes. Russia is working on a nuclear powered cruise missile and has already had one serious mishap with it.

Is the project still alive? It sounds great if so, but if it's good at that, why doesn't Apple run it for iCloud instead of GCP? (Aside from the obvious massive scale issues, but it seems like Apple would be able to afford to engineer that.)
Hi, love the idea! Two quick points:

1. At least to me the name Culdesac is strongly/exclusively associated with suburbs, which is really the opposite experience of what your target market wants. I almost didn't click to learn more.

2. It'd be wonderful if the local businesses in the community were owned/operated by people who lived in it. Community is more than just living in proximity, its also the investment people put into the shared experience, the emergent behavior/ideas/infra, and the adaptability to changes over time. Having lived in a master-planned community once (Irvine), it was so corporate and top-down it felt both stale and even vaguely menacing, like being a hamster in a cage rather than a part of an organic and dynamic whole. I hope this is not that model just with less cars.

Good luck on the build out!
My understanding is that `static` makes a symbol local to a translation unit, making it invisible to the linker.
I was wondering when this would happen. There's been a steady sprawl of camps on all the highway exits/entrances by 280 and 85 in all the bush and trees that grow there. Cupertino seemed to keep it more or less contained and off the sidewalks, but that was about 2 years ago. When you ride on the high double decker buses you can see all the camps not visible at car height level that line the freeways. It's nuts.

Wait the article is actually talking about a San Jose location, the homeless camp is even visible via satellite view: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Component+Dr,+San+Jose,+CA...

Probably just internal employee pushback against doing such a thing, likely because the homelessness problem is well-known and they honestly don't have a place to go. Plus, when they're on Apple property, all it does is make it not look like utopia on earth; assuming they keep to themselves and don't impede traffic nor destroy property it doesn't affect Apple operations.
