Having seen photographs of the “diabolical chandelier” I expected 664 to be a centred cubic number, but it isn’t. That leaves me somewhat perplexed as to how they actually arranged the geometry of the fissile material.
If I understood your use case correctly, I think you’re deploying an application with it? I meant more about server configuration things with Ansible configuration which is version controlled and auto-applied on push.

In that case, say you are using Ansible to set up a daemon A on a server. Now you want to remove the setup for daemon A and move to daemon B. Just changing the configuration is not enough (since nothing stops daemon A and cleans up it’s configuration). And after you’re in the new state (let’s say daemon B was just an experiment), if you decide to revert the commit that added daemon B and push, nothing will stop daemon B.

JavaScript is basically a lispy core with Java or C esque syntax and a bunch of features from all other programming languages incorporated over 20 years. It's fast, flexible and easy to learn. Just look at all the things that have been built in JavaScript...
Yes, unfortunately it is and the way we handle this isn't exclusive to SF. Google Andrew Yang NYC homeless. Everyone is avoiding the elephant in the room and refusing to touch this issue.
> The problem is, many of those people also burn money for yachts and spaceships.

Sure, but upper-middle-class people also burn money on upscale housing/food/travel etc. The main difference is that billionaires who've signed the giving pledge give a much larger fraction of their income and wealth to causes that help the needy.

Also, it seems odd to lump together spaceships with yachts. When anti-intellectuals attack government funding for NASA, we're the first to defend NASA and all the beneficial progress that comes out of funding cutting edge engineering projects. It's disingenuous to then attack people like Bezos when they do the same thing with their own money.

> Plus, to me all this charity stuff seems like a buyout. Gates basically made the world a worse place, before he started to make it better.

Maybe. I'm certainly not saying that billionaires should be given tax breaks because of their virtuous character. Just pointing out that the needy might ironically be best served by a billionaire tax cut.

Why is this about "white people" caring about dogs? Non-white people do not care about dogs? Why is this a white people only thing?
It's pretty genius marketing when the biggest hurdle will not even present itself during the "beta"

When it works well: It's a beta, imagine how well it will work when it's finished!

When It works poorly: There are still some kinks to iron out but what do you expect? It's a beta.

Show HN: Degen Raffle – A raffle built on Ethereum
Hey HN!

I've been working on this idea off and on for a few weeks now and I figured it was time to show it to folks before continuing to build it out any further (hence the terrible UI).

The idea is this: A smart contract that allows players to win the tokens in the contract in proportion to the number of tokens they've depositing into the smart contract. For example, if you and another player enter a round with 1 token each, you both have a 50/50 shot of winning the other's token. Here's the catch. Anyone can end the round at any moment, even people who haven't deposited any tokens.

The contract is currently deployed to Rinkeby and I currently hold all of the Degen Raffle Tokens (DRT) needed to enter the raffle. If you're interested in playing, let me know and I'll send you a few million.

It's a real thing, but I think (extrapolating from my own experience) it's much more profound and tangible if you're starting from something like C or pre-modern C++ and then moving to something more modern and FP-flavored. Modern popular language are on a much more even playing field versus 20 years ago. Even so, I still had one of these mind blowing "things I couldn't previously think" experiences when I finally ventured into Prolog and logic programming a few years ago. It's such an order of magnitude beyond my day to day C++ and Python nonsense, at least up until the evaluation model blows up exponentially.

I'd still like, as a learning exercise, to build some semi-practical small applications in Prolog, but I feel like I'd need an expert mentor to guide me.
The dystopian nightmare is the thousands of people living in filth on the streets of SF, living and dying short and brutal lives.

If I'm ever drug addicted and homeless, I want you to institutionalize me until I am clean and able to resume a normal life. I'm very confused by anyone who would want anything else for themselves.
I see. They say you can solve every problem with an other indirection, and ad hoc polymorphism is an instance of that. But there are other ways to enable composition that are seldom reached for when your language makes that easy
I dub this pattern the "chum blast"
> Host managed SMR is fine for data-hording if the savings in size/price are forwarded.

I'll believe it when I see it, though.

Unless you're trying to cram more data into a 2.5 inch drive, there seems to be zero upside to getting an SMR drive. They're priced about the same per byte despite "25% density improvements", and the high capacity 3.5 inch models on the market don't use it.
Exactly. Regulation is the primary method necessary to ensure that the market doesn't do an unethical but profitable thing.

The other approach, which is employed by other specialties, is to have a professional trade accreditation group create certain standards that must be upheld by all people in that group. Doctors and lawyers are examples of how this works, and in what ways it fails too.
> It's magic when it works but it suffers from the drawbacks noted elsewhere in the thread about traditional ORMS...

(Not that there are lots of other devs on my project at the moment, but)

I am managing this by aggressively limiting the size / features of my query builder, so it's (relatively) easy to understand just by looking at the code.

If it ever passes that point, it's probably time to switch to a "real" query builder / ORM.
You don't need to be root to mount disks, when you have udisks installed (which would be almost all distros by default). See udisksctl(1): <https://manpages.debian.org/buster/udisks2/udisksctl.1.en.ht...>
A few years ago I was getting some appliances delivered and installed. One of my dogs, a dachshund, got out the front door. As I'm corralling him, I see one of the installers sprint out the front door, slamming it behind him, in obvious fear for his life. Turns out my pit-lab wasn't in her cage, and she wanted to play with the new guy in her house. Of course, he didn't known that, and assumed she was a murderous beast wanting to go for his jugular.

It's a funny story, but had he been in law enforcement (or at least armed, which will be very easy in Texas beginning September 1), I believe that same assumption would have resulted in the death of a sweet family pet.
If that is the case though, I wouldn't be surprised if newer Linux and BSD releases gain additional support for per-core-type performance scheduling and optimizations therein.

It's not entirely new - Remember pretty much all ARM processors that aren't MCUs have big.LITTLE, but there is no doubt additional work to be done in the area.
Interesting to read the story in the protagonists’ own words.

Interestingly, the whole controversy about changing course on the IP rights was not addressed. Although one of the researchers did made a point of saying that their team had nothing to do with it, that “other people” at the University were involved in AstraZeneca negotiations.

I do hope more light will be shed on that whole affair, especially the role that Gates’ Foundation has played. I am placing my hopes on Guardian to be the one to break the story.
Amazon urges FCC to reject SpaceX proposals for next-generation Starlink
True, but that is changing.
The premise of bloodsports appeals to dirtbags, who buy these sort of dogs and neglect to train them at best (or very often, train them to be vicious.)
Are they so vastly different? Other than perhaps Lisp and Elm, they are largely equivalent, with different levels of immutability on top of a largely imperative core.

At least mention prolog, forth, SQL or the like that are truly different.
A few years ago, one of the theories was construction of the transbay terminal caused this, but I have no idea if that was actually the case.
I'm tired of seeing Bill Gates lecture us plebs. Saw a meme: "Joe Rogan, who's not a doctor, said such and such about corona" (a negative take) juxtaposed with "10 Things Bill Gates wants you to know about new corona variants"
That's a weird take, meaningful fines are rare, except for parking/speeding tickets (because it's an easy way for cities to get cash), prison is very rare, you have to really go for the large crimes to not get probation. The one exception is coercive detention ("Beugehaft"), which they hand out instead of fines. It's a dumb concept, but it's also not that common.

I also generally disagree that Germany is capitalist. Most markets are heavily regulated and full of subsidies, taxes are extremely high, and there's a fundamental mistrust of individualism.
That tells you all you need to know about who we select for in law enforcement roles. Society needs peacekeepers and people who know how to and prefer de-escalation, not warriors.

This is still a pretty narrow group. Throw in APL, Prolog and Z3.
Why Are People Apple Users?
It's not a funny story. Maintain control of your dog or don't have one as a pet.
As a layman, I'd intuitively want to try to solve this problem with an adversarial approach, i.e. train an adversary network to predict the info we want hidden better than chance given oracle access to the system we're trying to secure. But as I understand it GANs are currently regarded as flaky because training them requires the two component networks' learning be fairly matched. I wish I had a better understanding of the "competitors"/"successors" to GANs and how they would work on this sort of problem.
No, it’s included - there’s just a beta glitch the first time (or two) you try to turn it on.
How would they notice it?
People who believe in things like flat earth have already rejected argument from authority. Ostensibly, fact-checkers exist for the benefit of people who do trust experts but also would be convinced by a random facebook post. Maybe such people exist, but, like you say, in the 5 years (?) that fact-checkers have been implemented on social media, they've already overplayed their hand and can no longer be viewed as totally consistent with expert opinion. They are often used to manipulate political opinions and distribute propaganda.

It's a little ironic. They probably introduced fact-checkers to avoid regulation, but in an ideal world I feel the most important regulation would be expressly to prevent big social media corporations from centrally controlling information like that.

I don't think 'wrong more often than they're right' is accurate, we just hear about when they're wrong and not when they're right. I also want to say that 'ineffective' is the wrong word for vaccine's relationship to new variants. The vaccine still dramatically reduces spread, and almost always prevents hospitalization and death.
>They could honestly relax that constrain.

I don't know what legal constraints/tradeoffs they're operating under but I was flying in planes by myself (as an adult) by the time I was 15. So it doesn't seem unreasonable.
I think you're mistaken. First off, I don't think you can legally ban an organization from "thinking" about something (although I'm not sure what it means for an agency to think about something... Is that metonymnic for the thoughts of the people who are employed there?).

On top of studying and tracking gun violence statistics, the CDC also spends around $30m/year on research and grants to reduce gun deaths
Not in "epidemic" amounts though. And it is always the owners fault of course. It takes a lot of horrible treatment to fuck up a dog badly. We foster a lot of dogs and ones that come in completely fucked up usually turn normal with a lot of tlc. But yes, some are screwed. Even dogs that have been beaten, on a half meter chain, in a shed in the heat for years, they still turn out out ok and don't usually bite even on first approach. You have to know how to approach ofcourse: cops with drawn guns hovering over them probably would not be ideal.

Dogs that are too far gone should be put down: they basically will bite and attack anyone and anything. Still not their fault but they are gone.
Or, "if you can't beat 'em, join em." Adopt Linux-based systems and support both classic and Linux offerings. Adapt.
QLC drives, reasonably designed, can meet most consumer endurance needs.
Makes more sense in the context of the war, where two sides are close and whoever gets there first wins.

Here I do not understand the end game, stalling tactics until there is a U.S administration willing to goto war with Iran?
Most people around here only have a credit card to deal with USA focused internet shops. I never used the credit possibilities of mine, felt worried when using it, and cancelled it when iDeal etc became more common on the net.
Businesses with high chargeback rates might get rejected by some payment processors, but there's usually another one willing to take them on in exchange for higher fees.
This isn't about "abstract art of code", the original comment was that the guy literally didn't care about best practices or code style. Like it or not part of the job is writing code that the rest of the team can read and understand. Ignoring these things is just showing a lack of respect for your co-workers
Better to run and look like a coward than to get bit. Looking like a coward in front of a stranger costs you nothing. Misjudging a dog and getting bit can cost you disfigurement or death. You know your dogs; the appliance installer doesn't.

Also, I think it says something about the temperament and worldview of the owners of these dogs that they so often seem very concerned with appearing brave or cowardly.
C and C++ were never weird. In fact, C was criticized when it was new for being a "baby" version of better languages. Their median user was intentionally not smart; it aimed for an entirely different demographic of user, the common person.
M-x completions aren't really "fuzzy" out of the box. `partial-completion` is in default `completion-styles`, yes, but then you have to do word breaks with dashes manually.
The items on that list that are technical achievements did not come from a vacuum.

There are also countless works of art and literature I could have included, but I wanted to keep it short.
Agreed. I would have titled The Famous Article: "Worship of Work is Idolatry".
> It's pretty crazy the number of people who bought Bitcoin/crypto at such an early stage (e.g spending >$1000 on something nearly worthless and very obscure) yet are very bad at the security of this. You would think the first step to recovering >$10M plus would involve a Google search or two.

Though $1000 is a money typical let's say IT employee can easily spend and lose without having major issues. The issue with some early BTC adopters is that it was like buying a lottery ticket, most probably assumed that they would be likely losing the money, therefore they didn't invest in security and careful planning. Many people working for FAANG for example don't have to work that long to make $1000, so it is quite natural not to spend several hours of r&d on $1000 investment.
> Is Tesla really the kind of company that wants to carry the expensive loadstone of training and inference software + hardware?

Yes. They are very much that kind of company. Tesla has been pushing vertical integration and that is very much Elon Musk whole approach for most of his companies.

Doing your own battery manufacturing and even supply chain is considerably more expensive and complex compared to making a chip and getting some software developers.
They support native USB and ESP32 doesn't have that.
I was unable to go back on mobile Firefox. Going back would instantly redirect me back forwards.

Or maybe he had an irrational fear of dogs. Maybe he went through a trauma or something in the past. How is it funny?
Some things I love:

I love the hills. Walk up 10 minutes from tenderloin (worst part of the city) and you are on Russian hill. Almost never see homeless there, just 5 start hotels. (In fact this seems to be true of most areas of the city, walk up any hill and there are almost no homeless, they are for the most part too lazy to do it). From there you can see the bay on one side. Just a beautiful view.

Nearby from Russian hill is the biggest Chinatown in the US. Walk 5 blocks into Chinatown and you are in a different world. 95% Chinese people, no Chinese in the grocery stores and food that I have no idea what it is.

I can have a drink and smoke a joint with some friends in the park and no one cares. Where I live now I would be immediately have the cops called and arrested. Speaking of parks, I love golden gate park. It is huge and on the other side you are at the ocean.

Most of the people I have found to be far friendlier than on the east coast. Maybe I am a bit on the spectrum but people in SF don't care. Or maybe it is some other reason. But when I lived in SF I made friends way more easily. Also went on a lot more dates. For me I would be happier to move back to SF and complain about the rent and the homeless than live on the east coast and commute to my soulless suburban office park.
I really think most people do. Mine is the brahmos.
Trying to Be a Project Manager
How is this a psy-op? Seems like an sociological observation to me.
I understand your sentiment. Back when Coursera first started I took a class where 10 minutes into the first lecture the teacher said something like “This is the basic 3rd year calculus you did in highschool”. This was discouraging because it made a qualifying assumption about both me and my highschool that was far removed from my reality. In the end, that detail had no bearing on the class, and seemed to exist only to humiliate me.

But, many years later, I’ve learned I gain nothing from this kind of defensiveness, and simply keep a running list of things I’m “supposed” to know, but don’t yet. Of course, now that is a small list of very uncommon things, which itself shows how much I’ve progressed.

Point being, digging in your heels only hurts yourself.
"estimates that 25 to 30 pet dogs are killed daily by police"

Approximately 10000 per year, which is about equal to the number of human murder victims, and about ten times the number of humans killed by police (justifiably or not) each year.

There are about 4 times as many humans in the US as dogs: https://financesonline.com/number-of-dogs-in-the-us/

I really wish articles would make context numbers like this clear. I had to poke around. Judge for yourself whether this is an epidemic, but do so based on some numbers that provide some grounding.

Disclaimer: I found these numbers quickly and probably made some mistakes, but I don't think they are wildly off.

What is exactly “for this”?
Unfortunately, while that may be enough data for you as a (presumably) relatively affluent position, there are a _lot_ of people who aren't able to get loans today because they don't have that sort of history. For the subset of those people who would in fact be able to pay back loans, they have a ton to gain from improvements in credit score accuracy.

I had a friend at a startup trying to close some of that gap by reporting one-time rent payments to credit agencies, and the sheer scale of benefits they were trying to bring their users is hard to overstate.

I guess my point here is that there are in fact large portions of the population that are not well served by credit scores today, and just because you are not among them doesn't mean they don't exist.
Blue Origin suit keeps causing DOJ's Adobe software to crash
You don't. People want full control, with 0 oversight. Such incidents are going to be not uncommon. In all the solutions you've provided, they all require the user to do something other than click a random popup on outdated software. The issue is a people problem, not a tech problem.
I see only two reasons to do it yourself with multiple very capable third parties out there which pretty much exactly match the requirements:

1) You hope to make it available to external customers and turn it into a scale business. Your internal use is just the first customer. You need your own hardware so you can keep costs down at large scales.

2). Someone's pet project was to design their own ML ASIC and they thought it would look very good on their CV, and the CEO took the bait.

Hopefully it's the first case!
From Wikipedia
“ Sprint accelerated at 100 g, reaching a speed of Mach 10 in 5 seconds. Such a high velocity at relatively low altitudes created skin temperatures up to 6,200 °F (3,430 °C), requiring an ablative shield to dissipate the heat. The high temperature caused a plasma to form around the missile, requiring extremely powerful radio signals to reach it for guidance. The missile glowed bright white as it flew.”
