I was confused but looked things up so correct me if I'm wrong:

* W-7X uses 3T magnets (traditional type-II superconductors), so it has to be big (to give more room for plasma instability to not hit the walls?)

* ARC can be smaller because it uses 21T HTS magnets, so the plasma can be more tightly confined.

* LTS magnets have an abrupt phase transition. Imperfections have resistance, which causes heat, which can quench the magnet if current gets too high. (?)

* HTS magnets for - reasons? - don't quench like this. The magnet just gets hot and slowly degrades.

* HTS magnets are really brittle and finicky to work with, so winding them without causing imperfections is hard.

Fusion aside, wouldn't 21T magnets be valuable in a lot of areas? Like couldn't you do really high res MRIs with such a magnet? I don't see why there's not more commercial interest in such a general technology.
From Pakistan, already hosting 3 million Afghan refugees, no one talks about our sacrifice. Now many more will pour in.

Do try to look at our perspective, here's an interview with CNN

I felt like the detail that mattered there was that it is the only way to get through the British military air base at Mount Pleasant (the only access to the islands).

If you don't have to pass through a military base to get somewhere, there is a bit of wiggle room. You are supposed to do X, Y or Z but there end up being some exceptions.

In this case, the military base has a stranglehold on entry so you aren't likely to see folks bending the rules a tad.
This article has been on the front page how many times now?
Well, it is still relevant.
What's more interesting is how to fix this. I've no idea, but I'd like to read articles about how to do it.

Little endian won. You almost don't have to worry about a new piece of software running on a big-endian machine.
100% agree. Data privacy _is_ doable. Yes, it's added complexity, but software companies make it out to be much worse than what it actually is — and people believe them. These large software companies just don't want the inherent risk associated with saying "I comply with data privacy law XYZ" – because if they actually don't because they missed something, they will be sued for a lot of money. It's just about money, nothing new.
I think the whole Med has become like this. Travel is so mainstream nowadays (at least before covid), same with people buying properties in foreign countries.
"Customer" here meant "another team at the same company running code on the same common platform". It's not like this thing was providing backdoor access to a Mom & Pop pizza shop.

True but some foundries have had unrestricted licenses (i.e Swiss Foundry) or has recently changed (ABC Dinamo). I completely agree with the webfonts mess though, it’s just so hard to license it as opposed to licensing desktop fonts.

Looks really good ! Well done ! One "warning" I might give is I see "imba.commit" can become a problem.

This reminds me of the AngularJS(1) days, where if something didn't work (update), you will add a few well placed $apply or $digest everywhere. And of course if it doesn't work, you throw that $apply & $digest calls in s "setTimeoutLoops"... it got ugly fast.

This was of course was not the "correct way" of doing it in a "well written application" but many programmers working on one codebase, eventually somewhere someone gets frustrated with their code not working and in 12 months, you have these little "performance suckers" all around your code.

I don't really have a solution, maybe make it more "robust" or just keep in mind, programmers of all skill level and frustration levels, might just litter the codebase with these "magic-might-fix-my-issue-calls"

Congrats again on Imba !I do really like it :)
> several c compilers are supported

Which is completely different from assuming that emitted C automatically compiles and runs fine under any C compiler under the sun on any target platform, which seemed to be the implied assumption made by the person I was replying to. I definitely could have misinterpreted.

Regardless, my main point is that FPC already seems to support… pretty much everything, which is impressive. They’ve clearly done a lot of work on portability over the years.
This sort of thing is pretty annoying to procure. Imagine you have 20 suppliers and they all have bespoke pricing arrangements, vs you have 20 suppliers, who each charge you X per active user per month.

Leetcode is a very different skill and interest than software or building.

You say you picked up Elixir quickly, built cool stuff and enjoy reading about software. I know a lot of software engineers that software is just a job for them not a vocation or an interest.

I suggest you look at yourself more closely, are you leaving software or tech because of collateral hardships like interviewing and leetcode? or do you hate it?

Few things are interesting to a person, fewer yet interesting that they are also good at and rarely something that they can also get paid for handsomely. And everything will get harder and harder the more you want to grow in it.

You could get a cushy stagnant job somewhere. Consider if you would like it. If yes then you can do that right now in software.

If you wouldn't and you want to keep growing, the pain you're feeling could be from that drive within you.

Also please consider, the grass is always greener, do you feel about other professions the same way you feel about picking up a new book? learning something new? because the sweet promise of new beginnings definitely should not be the only reason to dictate a major decision.
Brilliant in its simplicity, thanks for sharing!
How the NHS Save 10k Hours of Nurse Time in a Year
that's sadly what we do nowadays, but this is quite an hack somehow; there are hard limits in the monitoring features, not a lot of overview analytics viz too.

Our core issue is that it is a too much tech software, we would like to have PM/PO looking at the health status of things. We could build a dashboard about jobs status elsewhere for sure. But we are hoping to find a better tech to deliver, run and monitor jobs, all in one.
This is what I was thinking. Jean IS the business. They should offer to sell it to her. Then they can buy a fast food franchise. They'd have more leverage over teenagers and old people with no retirement.
> Show me any zstd level that has significantly different speed and data size than one of the levels of those three can't match.

In case you are not just trolling, I had some very large JSON file with a large amount of text in my SSD around and the compression time was as follows [1]:

8,826,654,133 original
4,763,212,322 0:29 lz4 -1
3,815,508,500 0:52 brotli -1
3,715,002,172 2:09 lz4 -3
3,668,204,232 2:27 gzip -1
3,159,659,113 1:59 brotli -2
3,118,316,529 10:55 lzma -0 -T4
3,025,746,073 1:21 zstd -3 -T1 (default)

Zstandard is not just lzma+gzip+lz4. It is better than everything you've mentioned at least for my test case. In fact I first compressed with zstd and tried to match the compression time for others, because zstd is very fast and using anything else as a reference point would have taken me much more time. It does have enough reason to claim itself to be "standard".

[1] Tested with i7-7700 3.60GHz and 48 GiB of RAM (but no algorithm tested use more than several MBs of memory anyway). I'm using a pretty fast SSD here so I/O speed is not much of concern. Also note that every algorithm except for lzma is single-threaded.
The PPA landscape certainly has changed and things weren't nearly as centralized as they are now.

I don't think the AUR is necessarily more secure but in general the nature of how the AUR works does perhaps give some slight advantage. The suggested approach to the AUR is to download and inspect the PKGBUILD so you know how/what the package is doing opposed to a PPA typically being a precompiled binary. AUR helpers will also typically show recent comments, etc. so if a package was compromised or had issues you'd probably know as you're pulling it down.

Really though the AUR just tends to be more convenient and complete than finding random PPAs in my experience.
That's far from universal expectation. I use the camera almost exclusively in primarily social calls (and sometimes one-on-one calls). Even when talking to customers its rare.

The problem I had was not the split between individualism and collectivism. The problem is that these "lessons" are coming from an employer with corrupted incentives. They aren't trying to make a better citizenry. They are making a better cog for the machine. Hence the fascism angle.

If you want to teach these lessons, teach them through the education system.
You shouldn't have that kind of conversation without speaking also about profits.

If there is real competitiveness, a company that suffers shortages of an input (workers in this case), would see an increase in price and a fall in profits. Did your friend mentioned profits in the conversation?

Because I'm seeing a lot of this discussions where not even profits is mentioned. Including the article we are discussing by the way, where the word 'profits' doesn't appear.
I work as tech support at a technical university.
One student emailed in to us and complained that one of our website links didn't work, which the student had received in some documentation from the teacher.
I asked the student to send in the docs to us so I could check it out, it turned out to be a project where the student had to install lamp on a windows machine and the browse to the localhost, which didn't work for the student because the student had not followed the instructions in the documentation.
I went there and expected something like comic sans. I was blown away, until I realized I disabled webfonts a long time ago.

I had a proper look at it after that. It isn't even half bad. I never disliked comic sans for the use cases it was intended for, and a derived coding font is a fun project.
We are considering.
but it makes us migrate all 'stupid' jobs into API that can be triggered from cronhub.io.
Fantastic article that dives into the deep end. Quote: "At 20 pixels it’s nearly 10 ms, so I didn’t test going above that. At one point I accidentally set the radius to 80 and my GPU locked up."

Never having done any work like this on the GPU, I hadn't realized this would be possible.
Oh YES ! 100% - or if the demo spans "multiple files" but the code-snippets doesn't include a filename comment.

Why your font choice matters:

https://pimpmytype.com/open-sans/
Your answer sounds typical of someone who has never tried to accomplish anything meaningful. No shade to you personally. I have a bias and a healthy respect for people who make things with their hands, and in their own way, move humanity one step forward physically. Tangibly. My own work as a software developer seems puny and inconsequential.

The worlds best engineers with Billions of dollars in multi-year budgets, who know about and exposed to a lot of knowledge about "complexities of building machines"...even they fall short.

[Space Shuttle Columbia disaster](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disas...)

Spot the difference?

The engineers of Columbia are probably still alive after that monumental fuck up. Did anyone question their credentials? Education? What high school they went to? What modules they took on their mech engineering classes?

The hypocrisy of attributing a failure to a lack of education is morally inept at best, and disingenuos at worst.

But my fear is more base. My fear is that the man is from a third world country and that your answer might be drawing an already unfair conclusion from that fact. I hope my fears are wrong and you are just being objectively pessimistic.

It's trailing off, but remember that employers are competing with government unemployment benefits.

There's something called the backward bending supply curve of labor. At some point, people work fewer hours because they make enough money that more money won't affect their quality of life. Various closures, and, interestingly, labor shortages, have given people fewer ways to spend their money, lowering the inflection point of the curve.
> the early 1990s, all email was plaintext and transports were unencrypted.

I thought all email is still plaintext? The protocol does not support encryption?
This won't catch the procedurally generated edge case though unless it mocks every possible combination. It could well run into millions of scenarios just to test damage.
two wrong assumptions:

* not taking security seriously can jeopardize their leadership (they're the de facto standard and no one cares about security as seen in these comments)

* Zoom is already taking security seriously - I seriously doubt it with all development being in China.
Wow, those are awful. I tend to take a porn approach for things like this in that you know it when you see it. If it's unambiguous I think it's fine, in the case of internet connection, but I can see all of those as being confusing (except maybe "giga" in context like that, but regardless that one is just too much and I hate it).

Obviously, what's "obvious" is completely dependent on context, background, and environment, so it's a pretty poor place to draw a line, but I'm still sticking to it and relying on humans to make appropriate judgment.

Edit: Actually, I've rethought the "giga" one and don't really think it's too bad if context is clear. In the states people say "gigs" similarly to mean both data transfer and storage in different contexts and it's usually clear. "Giga" only sounds strange to me because I'm not used to that word, but it's effectively the same, just a shortening of a phrase.

I suppose "USB" is just a shortening as well, but without extreme context it's just too unclear because it refers to the bus, or more commonly the connector. If they're holding the drive in their hand and gesturing that's probably fine, but otherwise "drive" or "storage" is needed.

Wi-fi is just blatantly wrong though.
Just learned about that difference. In terms of an web-based code editor with a result panel, both definitions fit a little bit, I guess.
Huh, this is certainly legal in Europe. You get colonies with a queen and some workers, even non-native species. Always asked myself if that wouldn't facilitate invasions of foreign species into the eco system because ants are pretty apt at escaping.

I'd wager there is greater linguistic diversity between English spoken in Paddington and Merrylands than that of Paddington and the City of London.

I know when folks address a group of people as 'yous' they mean 'you', but as a plural pronoun. When an American chef says bell peppers, they mean capsicums. I'd argue the former is a bigger step than the latter, given that 'you' is a far more common word.

'Australian English' is at best a dialect of British English, though I don't think the differences even amount to that.

Also, I'd be very impressed if a website substituted lorry for truck when I clicked an Australian flag.
Unfortunately nobody will allow you on a plane without a valid matching biometric ID passport.
And you can bet there would be state security there.

You'd need a forgery from one of the few remaining countries that don't do that, or smuggle yourself out in another way.
You do avoid some of the cost, because you can direct a significant amount of your traffic over v6 and not need to CGNAT it.

The failure mode for your v6 failing is the same as it is for v4 failing in a v4-only ISP: stuff breaks. If you want to fix that you need a redundant failover setup, which is the same thing you need in v4 except cheaper because it doesn't need to do CGNAT.
Probably because English is not my native language, but it always looked to me that the names are backward:

* "big-endian" should have "big" (most significant) part on the end

* and "little-endian" should have "little" (least significant) bits at the end

Is there different mnemonics to remember what is what?
>I had one client that started getting their product catalog scraped aggressively, and the invoice for their licensed font usage that month was an order of magnitude higher than they expected (low six figures, vs. low five figures).

so, my corporate dirty tricks campaign company could offer to make your competitors advertising costs go through the roof if I find they've been using the wrong fonts?!?

> Ended up using a Worker function to tidy up after the janky WAF header mangling, got them to remove the explicit challenge page, and just swapped out the licensed font for a generic/free one for suspicious activity.

So if companies experience expensive font download attacks I can send them a reasonably priced offer for consulting services to fix this problem!?!

I very much doubt it - one of the reasons we are in this mess is some 80+ years of human capital devastation - we have nowhere to draw experts or leaders from anymore.
It doesn't matter. You can kidnap a daughter from a poor family and now she doesn't want to to back. Yes, we should respect her decision, but it does not make kidnapping right. It is the result of the colonial age.
Considering the islands were uninhabited when they settled, the people currently living there are the native population of the Falklands.

As someone who grew up with computers (and has owned many over the last 36 years), the key is ownership.

Right from my first computer I had free reign to do what I wanted with it. When my 1541 disk drive stopped ejecting disks I pulled it apart and fixed it myself. If I did something dumb and blew the fuse in the power supply, then it was something else I needed to fix.

The second thing which I think is tied to ownership is not being fearful of trying something. It may be that beginning your computing experience on the command line gives you confidence, but I see so many people hesitate about clicking on obvious things like it's going to blow up the computer if they get it wrong. Yes, there are times for care, like whether or not to click on a link in an email - but even here's there's a weird inverse where they're fearful of the consequences of not clicking on it!
One big difference—the discoveries waiting to be made in the early 20th century all concerned regular matter. As a result, once they were made, they enabled huge technological advancements.

I see this quite a bit on HN (the other day someone was saying to no fanfair that he doesn't work because he doesn't like the corporate setting) and other parts of the internet, enough so to assume it must be true, but this notion really confuses me, as it's certainly never been a choice for myself.

Genuinely interested, maybe I'm missing a trick in life, how would you pay for rent, food, electricity, ect... I do genuinely think when I read things like this or see things casually mentioned in the news that there's some alternative route in life nobodies ever told me about
The study contains rather painfully obvious images of the pathogen under the microscope in the brain/spine.

Seems your assertion here is that a professor of immunology at Tulane has committed fraud.

That is a very serious accusation and the onus is on you to prove that. Do you have any evidence? Can you point me to any histology experts that have disputed these findings?

1. Was the slide image in the study real?
2. Was pathogen visible in the slice?
3. Why is there a pathogen in the brain several decades later?
So you believe a livelihood is greater than human life? Someone running their own business should be viewed as more important than their neighbor living? Sounds pretty psychopathic to me.

Amongst his political group, that is the standard thing to say when someone gets COVID. If that works for them, then he’s fortunate to have a lot of people praying for him. And that’s fine if they believe in it and want to do it.
Yes, however nobody is asking "should we do it again?" - I think the west has decided that's not their cup of tea - but instead "what should we do next?"

The challenge is in a very real way the PRC is interested in replaying the colonial era, taking over Taiwan and exerting iron-fisted control over Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Macau.
And, estimating the cost... I see some site say $27k for tuition per year. Assume four years per person; assume people live for 80 years; assume half the population goes to college; then 1/40 of the population is attending college in any given year. If we say the U.S. has 300M people, then that's about $200 billion per year, for this proof of work.

Meanwhile, this site estimates Bitcoin's annual electricity consumption at $7 billion worth: https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption/

I think it was a huge mistake from cisco to make it a default though, the security benefit is too small. In the latest version is is now automatically disabled after 25 participants I believe, so they heard the feedback (took their time though).
