I'm familiar with SL. And yes it has some of the elements of this, what it doesn't have (or didn't when I last looked at it) were constrained physics story lines and a questing model tied to in game currency. Mostly it was around converting "real" money to "Linden" Dollars[1] to facilitate in-game transactions.

[1] And at the time (2008) there were sites that would convert your Linden dollars back into cash.
Not so sure, does Objective-C have a single ownership model and move semantics? As far as I know it doesn't, which would make it pretty different.
Western executives are in over their heads dealing with China. I don't think they even realized who was holding their leashes until China decided to start yanking on them a bit.

If you're not ready with two weeks of prep, when would you be ready?
I can understand the value of memorizing designs, plans, and technical drawings that are kept as proprietary information, but why bother memorizing a patent? Patents are public information and are only valid in the specific country granting the patent. Without additional local filings, foreign patents are not valid in America and vice versa.
I think if you press Ctrl+f twice Discourse re-routes to browser search.
It sucks that there's no real alternative to meticulous research before any purchase, but that's how it is.

WD's recent weirdness with the Red drives has pushed me to just spend the extra money for SSDs. I've been happy with Samsung's high-end products but I'm sure there are caveats.
Customer fits in memory, whereas catalog_sales does not.

We chose to remove SQLite from the results because it was so much slower. The plots are much less readable when they are stretched out by something that is slower by an order of magnitude
But if it's infinitely small(not the event horizon, the black holes singularity), then a rotation or poles are hard to imagine. Is the singularity rotating or the whole event horizon area?
It's hard to put this in descriptive words, i hope my point gets across.
Is that truly a good idea in case of the JVM? Of course there will be problems where this is the correct approach, but in certain cases simply letting the very advanced GC do its job is actually faster.
Apple Pay still sends a credit card number to a website. Where it may be used like any other credit card number. Same with Google Pay.
I don't think Germans are as superstitious as Americans. You won't find a single building "missing" the 13th floor in Germany.
Vancouver and Victoria are fine because of the Pacific ocean current.

Toronto has plenty of mental illness as well. That's why many Canadians hop a plane to Mexico.

Why is everyone so defensive about this? Moving from a cold climate to a warmer one is a much less radical idea than taking psychadelic drugs.
It was my bachelor's thesis project, so I just kept adding features. There is a simplified version on mobile, in which you just choose a template and change texts.
Even if the new controller is better they should have changed the product name (not just SKU).
This is also a possibility. The open scenario is: take the vaccine, don't get a breakthrough case (vaccines work as intended and quickly suppress it), but do get a vaccine-resistant infection later on.

If there is more information on the long-term behavior of the immune system conditioned on vaccines and/or natural immunity and/or mutations, please share. My understanding is that nobody has a complete understanding and a reliable prediction model. Everybody is making educated guesses in the dark, though I am very open to learn more from credible sources.
Having all those globals in the code generated by the Nim compiler seems less than ideal, though. Especially since some of them have very generic names like "raiseException" and "addInt", which could conceivably conflict with some other JS library.
This article makes a number of errors with very little advice on what we should have done.

For example, it agrees that we should have invaded Afghanistan, but then suggests we accepted Taliban surrender. The Taliban did not ever seriously offer surrender, nor does the article say who should have been left in charge.

As for capturing OBL in Tora Bora... that was a failure, not a bad decision.

This article is just garbage Captain Hindsight nonsense.
I can't help but wonder what kind of world we exist in, if people are driven to oversimplify situations, draw faulty conclusions due to the oversimplification on top of misunderstanding. It feels as if something is seriously wrong with education and society these days. People can no longer grasp involved, complex topics and engage with nuance and subtlety, as it were.

Heroin's not the same thing as asprin, nor the same as caffeinated coffee, for that matter. Lumping them all together and trying to draw conclusions thats society is fucked from that, when there are much louder, specific signals that could be addressed (but are more difficult), is questionable.

Approx what year would you characterize this "spike" as having started?
TSMC is worth $500B alone for a reason. To say it'd cost 10s of billions is a pretty crazy idea
in Hindsight, the GOP were the wrong people to lead any response. $6.7 TRILLION DOLLARS later...... And Afghanistan is STILL living in the dark ages. It was only ever designed to enrich certain connected People.
I think this is a misquote because nobody used the word "corporation" to refer solely to big companies in those times. I didn't study Mussolini deeply but I assume he means it in the sense "collectives of small family businesses where the collective is owned, proportionally, by said families".

I'm sure there's a better definition, but iirc "corporation" as a synonym for "enormous faceless public investor-controlled megacompany" is a pretty recent definition.
The term has been literally decimated. Irregardless of original meaning, it is now loost.
As he pointed out, after 1 or 2 months
Good point. Unfortunately, I've had some personal stuff come up, and I have not been able to put as much time into prep over the last two weeks as I thought I would.
Possibly, but it does not work as Discourse implements dynamic loading of longer threads.

Rule of thumb - ignore what Google does. Their lack of focus and proclivity to murder projects that are not runaway success without years of hard slogging has a solid track record.
It's hard to compare with no control group.

If OBL/Al-Quaeda remained in force in Afghanistan, it is hard to imagine they would not have committed more attacks.
Unfortunately not a single ISP in my country offers dual stack. You either have IPv4 only or DS-lite with various CGNATs.
> I think the difference here is that Genshin only has variable rewards and allows you to pull levers for them with real money.

It's even worse than that. You can only earn a relatively small amount of gatcha currency in-game. Once you've exhausted that pool for a given patch, no amount of grinding will get you more and the only way to "pull the lever" is with real money.
Don't forget that many federal pension funds and 401ks are invested in Chinese holdings. We are investing in our adversaries!
Why would that make me feel safer when they can get infected just like those who haven't been vaccinated (and haven't had Covid-19)?

I haven't checked but the face mask requirement will likely remain because it is like vaccination - "it helps prevent" (but doesn't prevent) infection.

That incentivizes me to not consider visiting the EU.
That's the rough part with acquiring characters (or anything) through the equivalent of cash-funded roulette: you can set out to spend a certain amount to attain something you want, but it might not work, and if you're sufficiently unlucky it may turn into an order of magnitude more spending than you originally intended.

While you could of course commit to only spending $X and dealing with the results even if they're unsatisfactory, this can be surprisingly difficult psychologically, combining the best of the gambler's fallacy with the sunk cost fallacy (among many other behaviors very cleverly inspired by the game's developers) into one.
And it even says as much in the sidebar on that page:

If your front-end is written in React and your business logic is written in SQL, is it really fair to call what's left in the middle tier a "core app language"? If you're writing a SaaS application today, you're more likely to want to rewrite your Java middle tier in Go than replacing your DBMS.
Sadly, I haven't been able to ascertain these food as tastier despite fasting for 48 hours or more.

Are you saying he was off by only one order of magnitude?
The real issue is that I am lazy, and my credit card number is also used for recurring payments on things that are important to me.

So if there is credit card fraud, and I have to get a new card number, I end up having to remember the 10+ places it is used and update them before I find out because my water is turned off (for example).

I have ADHD, I already have enough on my mind, I don't need to add additional complexity or burden to it.

That's only one definition for the word. Most dictionaries include more than one definition, and those meanings are not less correct.
So the death rate is now less than 0.0006% / shot? This is why I started this thread off by specifying "rational individual".
That's why I said in the real world and not in theory. There are only a handful of ISPs I can pick from and they all have very broken IPv6 support due to bad CGNATs. Yes in theory it should work, but in practice on consumer grade internet you're better off using IPv4 only here.
> the sea surface temps are nuts

Can you imagine what these temps will look like if the Gulf Stream slows/shuts downs as predicted?
I did not blame anyone, just shared why it is not great for me.
> Irresponsible to whom? You are the one advocating for this exact kind of analysis, not me, I merely obliged you.

It's irresponsible to say that you need to be on a 700 calorie diet for 3-4 years to lose 120 pounds. That's so far from reality that it's irresponsible.

> Do you control for water and glycogen loss?

I lose more in the first week or so to what I assume is water retention. After that it settles into 2lbs/week.

> What about exercise, what's your basal metabolic rate? etc...

I wear a fitbit and allow myself more calories if I run (based on what it tells me). None of this needs to be perfect. If you're off by 100-200 calories a day, you'll still lose weight.

None of that matters, though. I have my number: 1500 calories. If I'm not losing enough, I'll lower it 100 at a time. Or if I'm losing too much, I'll raise it 100 at a time. That adjusts for BMR and mistakes in my calorie counting. Finding my exact BMR is wasted effort.

US PR campaign against PRC finally digging itself into a corner. Wonder if polling will change post Afghanistan withdrawal shenanigans.

Essentially all of PLA modernization is designed to mitigate US intervention in TW scenarios, especially near PRC shores. Current planning on both sides largely dismiss the possibility of US being able to defend TW on island proper or within the 1st island chain where force balance does not favor the US. The workable strategy is to blockade PRC at SLOC choke points and push confrontation to the 2nd island where PRC has relatively weaker projection capabilities. But even that advantage will diminish each year, especially until the 2030s where the USN procurement timeline is about to get very depressing. The TLDR is the US can still contain PRC, but the US cannot defend TW anymore. Hence strategic ambiguity / lack of security guarantee, because bluntly PRC has too much capability now for the US to make impossible promises. Recent shifts in policy / think tanks / blob circles outside the most fervent China Hawks are pushing the “porcupine” model where the US provides TW arms but does not commit explicitly to defense.

Now US has riled up it's own domestic sentiment against PRC sufficiently that domestic politics could influence unwanted confrontations in PRC's favor. It's a recipe for potential disaster and embarrassment that could further undermine US interests / hegemony. If US had to intervene, PRC would like nothing more than a near shore slog with US where she is strongest. Keep in mind PRC fought a nuclear US and USSR when she wasn't a nuclear power over sovereignty issues much less significant than TW.
This story is visceral, it's now reached a broader audience. Boards of directors who weren't aware now are on notice.
I own a film Leica (M2). I also own the top-tier Fujis from 2017 (X-Pro2, X-T2, X100F).

The Good Old Leica Bullshit is, to me, a process-over-product feeling. I don't care as much about comparing the result of Tri-X@1600 to Fuji's (excellent) film simulations. I care much more about 1) using something with absolutely no electronics in it, 2) having to wait to see the results and thus divorcing myself from the moment, 3) knowing that, with proper care, this 60-year old camera will likely outlive me.
They're really similar. Elm works hard to abstract away the JavaScript universe and create really clearly defined borders regarding being inisde Elm land or outside of Elm land. Specifically, interacting with external libs, etc. involves retrofitting them to work via a port, which lets side effecty stuff come in as a standard message without having to deviate from the basic design. Redux may do something similar (I forget), but the gist of what I'm saying is that Elm works really hard to adhere to its core primitives to limit cognitive overhead for most tasks.

Most surveys you encounter are published to either change your mind (see, your view is a weird minority take) or reinforce your viewpoint (see, smart people think the same way, you must be smart).

Taiwan is a shit show. If we had a magic wand, of course they should be defended from ChiCom aggression. We don’t have a magic wand. We don’t have the political or cultural willpower to get into winnable kinetic conflict with China. Witnessing the buffoons running the military/intelligence apparatus in the US today, who would want to entrust their kids’ lives to it in a new land war in Asia? The best this country could do is unshackle Japan and Korea and let the chips fall where they may, hoping if things got bad enough that India had some influence in the outcome as well.

Sad, but if the world did nothing as the Crimean peninsula was annexed, or as Hong Kong was blatantly steamrollered, I have a hard time putting faith in any western power going to the mat for Taiwan, whether France, Germany, or UK. Nobody’s in the global empire business anymore for all intents and purposes, even China. China’s has an increasing level of influence in the world but it’s territorial interests, while expansive, are all close to home.
> You still have to go through multiple pages in phpbb and similar old forum in long threads.

Except for long threads the start of the thread is usually irrelevant beyond the first page or so (if even that) so you can just jump to a few pages from the end and go from there. Good forum software remains comfortable to use at million-post threads, and will render 100-post pages in a small fraction of a second.

IME discourse's "infinite loading" nonsense is just slow and a mess. Go check the Rust discourse's crate of the week thread, it is a slow mess to navigate, the browser's scrollback gets hopelessly lost, and of course the in-page search is broken.

That's a thread of a thousand comments, it's quite literally nothing, and for all that it completely fucks up your history to boot.
Memes are a good source of income now a days, just look at Elon Musk.

There's dozens of studies on parasocial relationships and how unhealthy they can be[1]; dozens of studies on how heavy porn consumption lowers libido and is overall not great for you[2]; and dozens of surveys on how my generation (millenials) and younger (zoomers) are more lonely, having less sex, having less friends, and less happy than previous generations.

It was one of the first things I did, and honestly, large part of what makes HN a special place.
I know this is a cynical take, but I think a big part of the youth focus is how easy it is to take advantage of the young.

I'm a bit over 50. I have a wife, child, house, and obligations outside work. I'll put in 40 - 45 hours a week and I'll go home.

When I was 22, I had some weeks when I put in over 100 hours. There's no scenario where that happens today.
Yes, but for many, even enthusiasts, that's a very steep tradeoff.
Backblaze publishes stats regularly. It's probably the nicest source of HDD data available on the web.
That is confusing cause and effect. Because companies move their manufacturing operations to china it becomes harder to manufacture in the US. They did not initially move to China because of a lack of dometic skilled workers, but because of lower costs. The result of that move was, after a delay, the de-skilling of the US labor force, creating the lack of domestic skilled workers we have now. To recover from that would require a reverse migration of manufacturing activity which would, after a delay, create more skilled workers in the US.

Skills follow activity, they do not lead activity. You learn by doing.

If you want to develop good bridge building skills, then build a lot of bridges. As a result of that process, you will, after a delay, have a labor pool that knows how to do it well, and the bridges you build later on will be higher quality than the bridges you started out building.

You do not wait for the labor pool to sprout up like mushrooms spontaneously from the ground, so there are all these bridge builders standing around with nothing to do, and then you decide that you'll have them fill up a few rooms and and hire some of them to build a bridge.
I would think that having bad internals would create a bad dev experience.
They don't care because they'll be long gone and next generations will be dealing with the problem. Same as engineers who come in at the start of a project and do a number on the architecture, get their accolades and bonus, leave to their next gig, and let the suckers deal with the BS they built.
The US Military has become a jobs program first and a war fighting machine second. The Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is a shining example of this. He was on the board of Raytheon before his appointment. He did a terrible job training Syrian fighters https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/16/us-military-... waisting hundred of millions of dollars. He seems to have a great track record of writing checks.

The US builds trillion dollar fighter jets, but we haven't made a new air-to-air missile in decades, which is arguably more important than the platform that delivers the missile. However, government contractors can't make as much profit on missiles than new planes, so we just build new planes.
They may seem trite, but these are fundamental truths that 98% of the population will never know. You remember the feelings of subjective profound realization. This is what is important.

With stored procedures you run your code inside of the SQL server process.

With SQLite, your entire application IS the process, and your SQLite data moves from disk to your app processes RAM.

I think the SQLite model is much better as you get to use your modern language and tooling (which is better than the language used for stored procedures which has not changed in 20 years, and is generally a bear to observe, test, develop).
> If I go through with the interview and do poorly, I have no way of knowing when or if I would be given the chance again.

If the organization you're looking to join is minimally humane, they'll be open to giving you another chance later down the line. In the event of a rejection, ask whoever's communicating with you for feedback, and mention that you'd like to try again later.

Worst case scenario, it doesn't work out and you discover that this organization is not willing to help people grow and give them a second chance, which could be a sign of other cultural problems below the surface, and you dodge a bullet in the process.

Best case scenario, you're in.

The middle ground is that you know you can prepare a bit more and try again later.

I feel like there's little downside to doing right away. I'd say do it.

What exactly makes consumption of porn—or, alternatively, compensating women for the production of porn—a “degenerate activity”?
Oh I know, I've done basically the same thing and dropped/kept off ~20 pounds. My point is that physiologically it's hard, and by reducing it to just-a-number or just-willpower, it's ignoring very real aspects of life for many people (myself included when I did that).

In technical terms, CICO is a very leaky abstraction.
Can you provide concrete examples of data that would be shown in such dashboards? I'm having trouble visualizing it.
Because Britain had a ban on exporting patents at the time and would search people leaving the country for patent documents, with jail time penalties.
I think you might be under the influence of a biased set of observations. Most average Americans do not hold women who show their boobs on the Internet in high regard, and use words significantly more coarse than “sex workers” to describe them.

But it’s just a subset of course of the bigger problem of the “Twitter take” often being light years away from the “average take.”
SMB has its own discovery protocol, that powered the "Network Neighbourhood" since Windows 95 - and it is part of the deprecated SMB1, so modern Samba has a special mode, where the discovery part is enabled, but the rest is disabled. Additionally, Windows can discover SMB shares via WS-Discovery. Samba itself does not support WSD, but there are third-party utilities like wsdd, that will do it instead. Some linux-based NAS-es, like those from Synology, also ship with WSD support enabled out of the box.

My experience with Windows 10 and mDNS/DNS-SD mirrors that from the linked article. As a result, I have now a real DNS domain, with devices with their own A records :/
