There are two competing interests, and the author suggests cleaning up after so that you can satisfy both.

The first interest is what you said, for every commit to build.

The second interest is to help prevent loss during development. If I am working on something and need to finish for the day, but haven't yet got the code to a working state, I want to be able to commit and push my code in case something happens to my laptop.

Also, sometimes I am making a series of big changes, but I need to make them all for the code to work. I want to have checkpoint along the way, in case I need to undo something (or even just see what I have changed since the checkpoint!) committing WIP code that doesn't build lets you do that.

We usually solve this problem with squash merges, so every commit on the main branch is the full working feature, but there are downsides to that technique.

Green building design is normally ~90% conservation outlined in the link above and 10% green energy sourcing
That is pretty clear when I choose the type. Timestamp WITHOUT timezone would imply that information is truncated.
Now, my application works only in UTC so I don't want any transformation to happen and it will be explicit (and timezone stored in a separate field) in the application when this has to happen.
If this is the case, is there any problem with using timestamp without timezone?
The cost is not only in money, but also in time, and requiring more upfront planning. Legitimate concern imo.
Why? Optimal position to gamble such a system. Everyone else needs browser addons to create fake activity with macros :D

In telecoms they call all the backend infrastructure “back haul” and have never read a satisfactory explanation. I’m convinced that somebody once coined “back hall” with the intention of invoking the image of service passages like what you see in the mall, it was misheard (as is often the case in Telecomms given it’s global nature) and the metaphor of the bulldozer tail stuck for ever after

I'd think Marx would be turning in his grave. Identity politics only serve to divide the working class when they could come together on more important matters that unite them across party lines.
Odd, and perhaps telling, that you went abstract and utilitarian, seemingly as if that wasn't what I was doing.

Perhaps I should spell it out more clearly. My black child-in-the-pool's face matches some unfortunate other child's and now I'm being investigated. It should be more obvious why this concerns me as much, if not more than, the other thing.
To a first approximation, the American thing is to not have any requirements for entry. There's a few employers and cities departing from that policy.
faketime is great. I use it in continuous integration tests for some software that needs to work correctly in temporal edge cases (near midnight, leap days, etc.)
New York, San Francisco, and Washington DC would be my top three.

Also relating to the "Global North" (who it's very likely that any given poster here belongs to) and "Global South", which don't have anything to do with skin color.

Given you've created a throw-away to comment this, I suspect you know you're actually the one making a "weird escalation" and are aware that you're race-baiting in a non-genuine manner.
> Chinese has standardized over time and become more accessible to the masses with each iteration.

This is dubious. Taiwan achieved mass literacy using traditional characters. Further, the PRC itself is responsible for shutting down attempts to simplify the written language e.g. romanised newspapers that operated out of Shanghai until the communist takeover.

I know this is a grammar troll and I'm breaking a rule, but this made me giggle, and then try to find examples.
Don't know to be honest. For now it's "complete" in that posting, tagging, etc are all implemented. I'm sure needs for new features will appear if traffic and use goes up. One thing I've already thought about is mailing list mode, meaning threads are mirrored in an email mailing list. Discussion for development is open on the website and github!

Urban legend I've heard is it was a marketing ploy dreamed up by the Guinness company to charge Americans more. Seems to have worked.

Those have definitely been considered, but a plane crash happens so quickly and uncontrolled that an emergency skydiving lesson is not going to make things safer for you. You’ll almost certainly be safer in the brace position inside a metal tube that’s at least partly designed to be able to keep you safe in such a situation.

I would not be so quick to assume that pilots don’t overestimate risks. You probably want them to, so they’re careful when it comes to walkarounds and inspections. It would be interesting to see a comparison of pilots’ estimated risks for all the parts of a plane breaking versus those from the actuaries, engineers, and maintenance techs.
I really like Laphroaig, but it's definitely an acquired taste. It's like eating moss so most people don't enjoy their first taste and many don't come back for a second.
It’s largely uninhabited. Gorgeous part of the country though.
Servers working and being well setup doesn't look great in Jira statistics.
That system exists, the problem is that's the thing that failed here. The module didn't recognize it was attached to the station explicitly because there was an issue with those connections.

I see that, and I'm all for removing shallow content. I just don't get the point of a blanket ban on OF people who market themselves this way -- a mod should be capable of saying, "this person is promoting herself, but it meets the quality standards so no reason to block it" (let alone pre-emptively ban such a person). Indeed, those are the very kind of submissions that lead to a thriving, synergistic forum-ecosystem.

I mean, from my experience on reddit, there are all kinds of unworthy submissions from all kinds of motivations that get upvoted more than they should be and removed too slowly (or not at all) by mods. Whether it's brand promotion, or karma harvesting, or (all too often) just not understanding what submissions are appropriate for the forum, it degrades the experience.[1] But targeting OF users for autobans seems tunnel-visioned at best and slut-shaming at worst.

[1] one of my favorites, /r/LeopardsAteMyFace, is intended for examples of people a) getting hurt by b) policies and politicians they advocated for. But well over the half the submissions ignore b) and are just cases of "break law they obviously didn't like, get prosecuted".
Or just get some liquid smoke and pour it into your scotch and ruin it the old fashioned way. Have had lafrog and it’s like cancer with a hint of cancer.
> Does ISIS have an official twitter account?

Probably not. But Taliban has one and it's more than 10 years old. Chinese tweets from a verified account about "reeducation camps liberating uyghur women" (an euphemism for sterilization) are not removed either. What's you point?
People don't care about inflation specifically, but they do care about how it is affecting them. For example, lots of people seem worried about getting priced out of buying a home these days, which inflation has certainly contributed to in a big way.
OpenTTD, is perhaps the most successful open source game, though it largely sidesteps the criticism of "too many cooks" in regards to vision by starting from someone else's vision.

(Freeciv is another example).
The problem was that the "docking success signal" was not properly recieved.

The very presence of an emergency stop system should be a signal that the thrusters should not activate, if you are ever in a situation where you would desire to send an emergency stop signal, it is because that emergency stop system has already failed.
They might not be paying a big price today, but they do pay a price - their reputation is damaged and when other potential customers look at who to use, they give more consideration to alternatives.
An interesting read, I still often have trouble discerning what irony is supposed to be versus the colloquial use.

So I'll pose this as a question to the community: About halfway down the article there was a link (for me) to "What Nihilism is Not" with a description "In order to preserve nihilism as a meaningful concept, it’s necessary to distinguish it from pessimism, cynicism, and apathy." Is it ironic that in an article about irony there is a link to an article on a philosophy premised on the meaninglessness of life that intends to preserve its meaningfulness?
What's the reason for using ASM? Were there no good compilers for higher level languages (like C) available for the platform, or were the developers simply accustomed to using ASM, or was the platform limitations such that developers simply had to use ASM?
You are right, I haven't thought of it.
Not quite: "blended whisky" is a blend of malt and grain whisky. Grain whisky has very little flavour. Hence, blended whiskies invariably have less flavour than single malts.

There is also "blended malt whisky", which is made entirely of malt whisky, but from more than one distillery. As you say, that can be very good, but for whatever reason it isn't a huge category. I think it's growing, though - Monkey Shoulder is a fairly new blended malt that has become a de facto standard workhorse Scotch in cocktail bars, and Compass Box has been grinding out good blended malts for years.

Bear in mind that there is enormous variation between individual casks even at a single distillery. The blender at a distillery has an adequately broad palette to work with, even within the constraints of making single malt.

Indeed, it is often the case that a blender will decide that some particular cask in their stock is too far outside the parameters of their house style to use at all. These casks go to independent bottlers, who put their own name on it, and try to find some niche to market it to.
Not at all. Acquired taste perhaps, but high-strength, well-made spirits can be wonderful. Need to treat them with respect though, as the downsides are obvious. Loads of the over-proof whiskys and rums are glorious.
This is what's so surprisingly scary about time value of money to me. Many "spectacular" investments that double or triple money over a decade or 2 are simply not all that great if you just calculate the annualized return and factor in the inflation.

Back home, I've had so many agents try to sell me inferior insurance and investment opportunities dressed up as insane deals hoping I wouldn't look too much into the details. I was really lucky to come across the folks at /r/indiainvestments who frequently warn about this. But I am sure there are many others who are not aware of these things and fall for them.
> Unfortunately there is no way to know whether the future ... is not even more horrifically dystopian.

I agree.
The possibility of losing funds exists, but bugs are something you would expect with any in-development technology. And, existing payment services are not without risk. Getting your account frozen and funds taken is pretty common with PayPal, Square, and other payment providers, which is not possible with the Lightning Network.

For those who like this sort of thing, "The Great War" on YouTube followed WW1 week by week, 100 years afterwards. No reason you couldn't do the same with 107 year delay or something. It was very well done.
> You said "third of the population" but forgot to mention that it's just 7 people we're talking about which is a crucial addition.

And I propose that it being "just" 7 doesn't change the intent of "1/3" at all.

> I conclude you were writing that in bad faith to promote some kind of agenda of yours (which is confirmed by the history of your posts).

My agenda is to obviously raise awareness that an island that aids sexual abusers is bad. Your agenda must be to suppress the dissemination of information pertaining to sexual abuse, I guess. I'm kind of disgusted at that behavior, tbh.
I saw someone citing this a few days ago: having had the common cold recently can lessen your covid symptoms. He didn't source it, but on its face, it seems to make sense.

Can we not pretend that laws have to use the most surface level definition of things? It’s a silly straw man attack and isn’t how laws are (usually) written.
That’s interesting: Nikkei‘s bad long term performance is due to Japan‘s bad economic policies in the last three decades. Many years of quantitative easing have given rise to a high public debt, a large unemployment rate and an uncompetitive, stagflationist economy after being one of the most innovative producers (“all the cool stuff comes from Japan”).

This is what happens when a central bank keeps on preventing moderate recessions necessary for correcting a nation’s economic failures. The US and Europe should study the case of Japan very closely these days.

There are enough used cars available today that I'm pretty sure I could just buy used for the rest of my life and not have to worry about that.

I don't think I will have to worry about it though because if such legislation ever passed, it wouldn't be long before someone got stranded in the middle of nowhere and died next to a perfectly functional car that refused to start up, the media would make a big deal about it, and the legislation would be reverted.

Microsoft Is Hilariously Misinformed with Rust
I've scaled a cluster that was in the 100s of millions of results range, the experience was not great and tuning for our use case which was decidedly not a typical enterprise search problem and that made it a complete pain. So that's great that it works for that particular case, and we ultimately made it work ourselves much like you're suggesting, we used vector search with something like FAISS as a pre filtering step and then a final search through a much reduced set of ids in ES but it's pretty clear a new player could come in here and make a much better experience. Basically ES is, if not unsuitable, a big pain for large non enterprise search such as web search, where things like vector search are one major signal and provide a better search experience. And that's the exact problem there aren't off the shelf open source solutions if you're not doing a fairly standard ecom or internal business search type problem like log aggregation or internal documents.

I'm also suggesting that use cases that aren't enterprise type search problems are more common than you'd think these days.

Edit: Additionally the thing here is you have classical boolean search systems like ES and vector search solutions like Milvus, but no one's gotten around to making something that does both well, from what I can see a lot of the players in the space are trying to go in that direction but it's a slow painful crawl that results in this type of situation where we had to do a lot of custom gluing of these systems together and keeping that parity that was super annoying and expensive, and time consuming, but not necessarily performance inhibiting.
Author Token Creator – Version 1.1 Released
Hi Hackernews, as part of the Author Token Creator development team, I'd like to introduce you to why we created Author.finance, what's our mission and where we go from here.

Author.finance is a simple, easy-to-use token/coin generator for the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain platforms. Our tool gives an curious investor with limited technical knowledge access to building ERC20 tokens with ease.

We built Author with the idea to connect the world of decentralized/social tokens to everybody! Our mission is to create a platform to create and discover digital assets. Creating your own digital token takes a large technical understanding, programming skills and finance knowledge to get started. We believe decentralized platforms like Ethereum and Binance are made for the people, and so should the tools made to use them.

Today, we're releasing version 1.1 of Author.finance. This brings a lot of bug fixes, a new and improved contract with the latest version of Solidity. Most notably, we've significantly reduced the approval fees, you can now use author starting at 0.0083 ETH!

Thanks for listening, go ahead and give Author a shot, create your own social or currency tokens!

I find I have to kinda budget how many electron apps I keep around, to keep things running smoothly. And that's assuming they're all halfway, sorta, well-written. That goes double for anything I might want to leave open, or open frequently. It also applies to "web app" tabs in my browser (even Gmail eats shitloads of memory and spikes CPU usage all the time for mysterious reasons, let alone things like Google Docs, and a bunch of SaaS dashboards are as bad or worse).

If an app is Electron, it gets an extra and fairly rigorous level of "do I need it? What are the alternatives?" treatment, for this reason. Native, or even QT, doesn't get that kind of in-advance scrutiny, since only rarely do they cause any problems, even if I forget about them and leave them on in the background for months.
40% is the legal minimum to call it Whiskey in the UK. It's watered down to increase profit.
Depends. University of Phoenix awards doctorates that take 3-4 years (HUGE red flag -- the best and brightest phd students might get out in 4 years if everything goes perfectly; an "expected time to graduation" of anything less than 5 years is almost certainly a worthless degree).

Those doctorates don't require much more than taking some coursework and paying a boatload in tuition. Basically an expensive and length online masters program. Not worth the paper they're printed on, unless you're employed by the government or in a union job that mandates raises for education attainment.

As a general rule of thumb, PhDs from R01 universities that are paid for by the university through research assistantships or teaching assistantships are generally a good signal of at least minimal training in research skills.

Another good general rule of thumb is that paying for a PhD -- beyond perhaps some MD/PhDs or maybe nursing phds, stuff like that -- is always a good sign of someone who has both a meaningless degree and also poor reasoning/research skills.

But anyways, real doctorates outside of a few fields (e.g., pure math) usually come with a non-trivial publication record that speaks for itself. You don't even need to know that the person has a doctorate; you can just read their papers and a rec letter from an advisor describing the student's role in each paper.

(I'm excluding discussion of professional degrees like JDs, PharmDs, etc. which are technically doctorates but sort of their own class.)
Just saw this now, but agora.download is on mainnnet, and test.agora.download is on testnet, so if you're using a testnet wallet, it won't be able to pay the mainnet invoices from agora.download.

Any plans to support DEXs (Uniswap or Curve)?
This reads like the ramblings of an insane person.

Like, meritocracy is obviously a lie, then you have far more entrenched class system (and how readily it is accepted by the “lower” classes), next is the fact that the current ruling party got 25% of its funding since Boris took over from 10 people, desperate to foist policy that benefits them, while being detrimental to the vast majority of UK citizens.

The UK is largely shaped by the ossified class structure developed in past decades, and the US is desperately trying to follow in it’s footsteps.

It’s just the natural conclusion of egotism as a guiding principle for a society…
One of the ways in which modern Western newspeak works is the relentless conflation of "socialism", "communism", and "totalitarianism". Their current project, as far as I can tell, is to fold everything left of blue-dog Democrat into the definition.
The issue is that buzz words and politics are an integral part in the system. The types of technologies and methods that receive government and NGO support will prevail. Tax credits are use to incentivize the adoption of certain technologies while building codes favor certain techniques. The point is that attempting to create green buildings is inherently political and the inefficiencies of politics is preventing the execution of science.
> UltraFlex/MegaFlex arrays

Those fit on satellites in zero g. The moon has gravity so you support them at an angle you need bracing on something else, or for extra long panels connected to a structure you need bracing inside these ultra flex panels.

In space panels can radiate from their back sides into space, but that doesn’t work on the moon as it hits 260 degrees Fahrenheit in the day. Look up panel efficiency curves with temperature. Cooling during the day is a major concern for a long term lunar base, but also needed for panels.

Further you need cables from wherever they are to where up your using power.

Lunar dust again is an issue for solar panels on the moon vs satellites.

All added up doubling weight may be generous.

Sure, and that worked wonderfully a lab. But, production systems need to worry about a great deal of stuff that doesn’t apply in a lab setting. I don’t mean this dismissively yes I completely agree in theory it could work, but it’s just not working technology yet. I haven’t looked recently so hopefully there is a system demonstration out there.
If you're using htlc.me, that's probably the issue. htlc.me is a testnet wallet, so it can only pay testnet invoices, and agora.download is on mainnet.

IDK if he quite "spoke out" but he mentions them unfavourably in a few essays, sometimes indirectly. The one that comes to mind is "notes on nationalism" which IIRCC has it listed along with republicanism, zionism & pacifism as examples of obsessive nationalism existing in the contemporary British left of his day.

Hi did fight with a Trotskyist militia which included many republican volunteers from that era. That's why I mentioned them... and also the esperantists. They were his circle, I believe.
