The mice are the main component to the lyme lifecycle. There is a researcher working to give mice immunity using crispr.

Generally, the deer are only overpopulating (at least to the extent you describe) in areas that aren't hunted, which also tend to be highly populated. It seems many people enjoy seeing the deer in their backyards and don't want their almost-pets to be killed, especially if it means it might have to be done on their land. How do you propose dealing with that opposition?
Not a bad idea! guix has openjdk, gcc, clang, cmake etc. Seems a lot more mature than last I checked. How easily does this play with a dev environment? Am I gunna have to do weird things to make tools find their toolchains?

Leaflet avoids all the complexity by relying on all the rendering done on the server, while all it has to do is load images.

Rendering vector data on the browser with the level of detalization necessary for modern cartography (hundreds of thousands of points in a single view) is not possible with the usual technologies like Canvas & SVG. The only option is WebGL, which is basically a very efficient way to draw triangles. You have to implement all the logic of turning all the data into triangles (tessellating lines, breaking down polygons, implementing anti-aliasing, figuring out collision detection between labels) from scratch, reimplementing difficult computer graphics algorithms from decades ago. This is a MASSIVE amount of work, and hard to do in a performant way.

Moreover, client-side vector rendering has even more complexity than server-side technologies like Mapnik, because you can't just render something once — you have to do it in real time, 60 frames per second, considering context, making fluid animations when zooming, panning and loading data, etc.

You can learn more details about this in my presentation on vector maps e.g. here: https://youtu.be/v-V8SS14R48
PureBasic is one of the best things in life (if I may express my view).

Looks great! I’ll definitely be checking this out for my web work. One thing I see- and only mention because the rest of the product seems like it has an eye for detail- the “we are hiring” link and paint component on imba.io have minor layout issues on iOS Safari on iPhone 12 Max Pro.

Does Tesla and Comma AI etc classify based on adjacent frames, or does it choose what’s what one frame at a time?

I ask because the article mentions a flashing red light, which is common at rural intersections, and having a light flash is a proven way to grab a humans attention because we’re sensitive to the slightest change in brightness: think of a lost hiker flashing a mirror at a rescue plane overhead.

Without being sensitive to the blinking lights designed for humans, the car sees a floating red orb in one frame, and nothing in the next.

This quote from the Reuters article from yesterday makes me believe something about the tech stack makes it difficult to detect patterns of flashing light:

> In February 2020, Tesla's director of autonomous driving technology, Andrej Karpathy, identified a challenge for its Autopilot system: how to recognize when a parked police car's emergency flashing lights are turned on. "This is an example of a new task we would like to know about," Karpathy said at a conference.

> The simulated time is incremented by 16ms per inner loop a roughly 60hz rate. You’re correct that the simulated time catches up to the real time. Just wrong about the number of sub-steps. Technically Fabian’s solution will likely run slightly ahead of real time because of the inner loop condition.

Can't the inner while take 1 ms or 1 ns for an iteration? I don't see how the inner while's execution time is at roughly 16 ms.
Okay, if my number of sub-steps is wrong, then I am really missing something here. Just trying to understand what exactly is wrong with my thinking.

It is supposed to be so simple, yet I have real trouble understanding it currently. I am basically stuck now.

Yeah, the typescript-imba-plugin does quite a lot of magic and might be a little rough to get into.

We essentially do the type-checking by compiling the files to js with jsdoc annotations, and for some features we also generate `.d.ts` files (see https://dev.to/somebee/global-type-augmentations-with-automa...). There is still a lot of work to be done on the integration. There are bugs and missing featyres, and the type-checking only happens in the tooling atm. The compiler could not care less about your types.

Since it is developed as a ts language plugin, references to imba files (like goto definition etc) works from ts/js files (you can include imba files in js/ts), and renaming methods / files works across all ts/js/imba files in your project.

You'll note quoto.org is at the top of the technology oriented instance list. I know the admin to some degree (he followed me almost immediately after I joined) and while he won't tolerate you using his instance to harass people he's vocally tolerant of good faith arguments in favor of unpopular ideas and won't prevent you from following any account publishing legal content.

While free speech is not a goal of Mastodon the technology is very conducive to it and many of the admins are reasonable people.

Yes, I do. I also believe in my right to criticize them for appointing themselves censors.

This need to paternalistically protect other adults from online content "for their own good" is authoritarian and rude and I hope it goes out of fashion right soon.

It's extra bothersome when instance admins (unrelated to the mastodon project) decide for their users what they should be allowed to read.

Imagine if your email service decided you couldn't send or receive email to certain domains they decided were "bad people".

The inner loop can take as little time as it likes to actually do the update but it is accounted in simulated time by adding 16 to the timer and accounting for that in the update by passing in 16 as the amount of time to update for.

Real time is updated once at the start of the step then simulated time catches up in 16ms increments. So you get as many update calls as there are 16ms increments to simulated time before it exceeds real time.

This is all very simple but also pretty finicky to think through. I’d replicate the code in the language of your choice and step through it.
The “remaining pebble” refers to the one in the bag that she didn’t choose. The path is covered in pebbles of both colours so by dropping the chosen pebble, it means they can’t identify it. So they must look inside the not-chosen (remaining) bag, which will contain a black pebble.
Therefore, as the merchant cannot expose his dishonesty, he must concede that the chosen one was white.
So that would include the far right and the government, then. Hardly "everyone" ;)

I do find it interesting that left-leaning people (like myself) find it difficult to acknowledge that left-leaning media also engages in The Bullshit. Because we tend to agree with the propaganda statements, it's incredibly difficult to spot as Bullshit.

A whole bunch of people I knew who thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2010 got Lyme. I did not get it, but I don't think I was appreciably more cautious than the people I directly knew who did. Part of what makes Lyme scary is the randomness of who gets it and how easy it is to not know you've contracted it.

Fortunately, hikers are at least generally aware that it's a possibility and know to seek treatment for it specifically. Awareness in the general population is probably still much lower.

> “I was driving and dropped my phone,” Mr. McGee told an officer who responded to the accident, according to a recording from a police body camera. “I looked down, and I ran the stop sign and hit the guy’s car.”

What a fucking idiot. Handsfree exists for that same use case without holding the phone.

Also where was the "Driver Monitoring System" that was supposed to monitor the driver's attention and their eyes on the road whist operating the vehicle with autopilot on?

I think lots of drivers have become too complacent and relying too heavily on the autopilot system and are still not paying attention when using it.

Maybe if Tesla had put in place a system that properly monitors the eyes of the driver perhaps, the car would slow down by itself and pull over, instead of running past a red traffic light and killing a person.
In high school at one point when discussing the amount of agricultural space goes to cotton, the teacher asked how many pairs of trousers we each had. I had two. I hated going shopping, and two was enough for me to wear one pair while the others were in the wash.

A bit on the low end, maybe. I have a few more now, but still mostly cycle 2-3.

Several of my class mates claimed to have 40+. I couldn't even imagine that. More than a dozen was the norm.

Totally baffling to me as well. It just feels like added stress.

In my opinion, probably the most realistic and least risk to you would be to find out what organizations are going to help the 22k or so that the U.S. is trying to extract and donate to them. I don't know who that is or how efficiently they would use the funds.

For those remaining in Afghanistan, there is not likely much you could do without putting yourself in harms way or making things worse.

You think the burden of proof isn't (or shouldn't be) on the government?

Between your wilful "reading between the lines" based on your own biases, and smug insults ("But, hey... you do you"); I don't think this argument is going to go anywhere - I don't see the "accept that you may be wrong and are willing to be corrected" you talked about.
Did you read the link?

For some reason I've ended up an a list of phone numbers that bitcoin and forex scammers call. I get a couple of calls each year. I'm a European citizen so my usual procedure, if I can be bothered, is this:

1. Thank them for calling me and figure out what website they're trying to get me to sign up to.

2. Ask to speak to their data protection officer and try to make a data subject access request. They will try to end the call here but I try to keep them on the line as long as possible. After about ten minutes they usually just hang up mid sentence.

3. Email the info/help/service at their website and make a data subject access request. Point out that they are handling my data without legal basis and I will be making a legal claim against them in Swedish court.

4. They will reply they have 20 000 lawyers on retainer and devote 75 million USD each year to legal fees.

5. Keep it up and let them know you will be filing a claim against them.

6. They stop responding and close down the website.

If every single person that they call made a stink about it their business model would stop working overnight.

Edit: I realised now that I didn't really answer your question. I really hate these scammers so had to get this off my chest. I don't know what to do in your specific situation. Sorry.
Is this still true? I guess the question is when is an interface concept "cognitive overload" - a bad formalism - vs serving as a useful abstraction? Say that's grouping attributes into a named cluster. Or, collecting actions into a function. As programmers, great. As people scheduling appointments, maybe that's ok in some workflow automation setting (which is not unlike programming) but otherwise, not great.

What predicts the aptness or ineptness of a given formalism? It has to begin with an idea of what the user already knows, and with the fitness of the formalism to the user's concept of the job to be done. Perhaps for the majority of the HN readership: "Informality Considered Harmful".

This is exactly how I remember it working in the language I mention (which, by the way, is called hyperscript[1].) The semantics where flipped such that you'd explicitly mark calls or functions as async, rather than await, if you wanted them to run asynchronously.

I run into subtle bugs all the time due to missing awaits, it's incredibly frustrating.

Interesting article.

On discussing buying clothes sight unseen the article mentioned:

It’s only once a bale has been opened that the quality of the clothing is discovered. If it’s in good condition, profits can tally quickly to as much as $14,000. But if the clothes are torn or stained, or long out of fashion, their importer may as well have put a torch to their money.

I find it interesting that the clothes they want and will pay money for fits the description of what clothes people in developed nations want too. Human nature is quite the same no matter where you go.

Id be curious to know what other factors impact price/demand. Eg. Brands, materials, styles/designs, etc.
