No. There is not limit. That can by proven by seeing people with multiple middle names or by naming your child with multiple middle names. How could there possibly be a limit? Even with the case where systems can not store or recognize the length of such a name, the middle names themselves are not limited. People's names are not entries in a compiler's symbol table.
Hey HN! co-founder here. It feels incredible to be sharing Replay with all of you. It's been a labor of love the past five years!

Replay started off as a simple experiment in what would happen if we added a step back button and rewind button to the Debugger. We quickly realized two things. First, nobody uses breakpoints. Second, being able to share is so much more powerful than being able to rewind.

Here’s how Replay works today. Somebody on the team records a bug with the Replay Browser and shares the replay url with the team. From there, developers jump in and add print statements. The logs appear in the Console immediately so you don’t need to refresh and reproduce a thing.

Over the past year we’ve talked to hundreds of users, recorded 2.5 million replays, and worked incredibly hard to ensure Replay would be fast, secure, and robust from the get go.
Earth rotates at 1670 kilometers/hour, the Moon travels at 3,683 kilometers per hour, tidally locked to Earth so the telescope travels at that speed. However, the Moon has a lot further to travel so a more meaningful measure is change in angle over time. For the purpose of a "long exposure" the Moon would have a lot less smear.

Earth: 7.2921159 × 10−5 radians/second (sidereal, not including solar orbit, at equator)

Moon: 0.2.66169 × 10−5 radians/second (on average for its eliptical orbit)

> universities can't keep charing exorbitant fees to give out a piece of irrelevant paper

You've completely misunderstood the point of university and the piece of paper. The reasons to go to University ranked:

1. To signal to employers that you are the type of person who can solve difficult challenges with minimal oversight

2. To build your network

3. To learn

4. Social events

The piece of paper is far from irrelevant, it's your signal to employers that you're a successful person. MOOCs and bootcamps can't replace that. Employers don't like apprenticeships because once they're over the employees leave for greener pastures. Even if they confirm you're self trained via leetcode or whatever they still can't be sure that you're able to do the other stuff that a job entails.
For my site it recommends that I replace webp with avif.

I'd love to do that but it's behind a feature flag on Firefox and not supported on Edge or Safari.

https://caniuse.com/?search=avif

Part of the cost of running a large image archive is transfer, the other part is storage. One benefit of a high efficiency file format is reduced storage bills, but you don't realize that if you need to keep copies of the images in legacy formats.

Today webp is supported widely

https://caniuse.com/?search=webp

and it's reasonable to go webp-only and not have backup jpegs.

The benefits of AVIF over JPG are greater than WEBP over JPG, but until I can publish only an AVIF file I could care less.
I guess that inspires another take:

- Suppose performance in the school system has an upper limit slightly above average, but no lower limit. Then anything that increases the variance of one group, whether innate ability or environmental effects, will show up as a fall in the group's average, because the growth in the high end of the curve is disproportionately not being measured, while the growth in the low end is.
I get you're being sarcastic here but it's clear that the market hasn't been a total success with EVs. They require much more charging infrastructure before many will consider buying, but the EV infrastructure won't be built until there is demand for it. This is a classic example of where a government can step in to tip the scales and force a desirable outcome.
Loopholes create perverse incentives. You can see this in things like regulations on certain vehicle sizes. "But what about trucks" turns into "pickups and SUVs grow to monstrous proportions".

If it turns out that in 15 years there is some grievous need for gas cars then, as you say, the legislation can be walked back. But that isn't a reason to not make it bold to start with.

The American version is often a simplification of the British version. I also find the American version to be more readable. Simpler, easier to use syntax seems preferable to me over verbose style.
> does this have any to do with rationals? or is it more related to limits and calculus?

No.

I'm going to use Haskell, which I'm going to assume you know. I'm using it because it seems closer to the math. The type for naturals is:

data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat

and then all Haskell functions of type `Nat -> Nat` represent partial functions. They're not total functions because they might enter an infinite loop for some inputs. You can clearly enumerate all Haskell functions which are syntactically correct and which have type Nat->Nat, so the partial functions of that type are computably enumerable.

But consider the total functions of type Nat->Nat (i.e. those that never enter an infinite loop). Assume you can have a function `en :: Nat -> (Nat -> Nat)` which can output every total function of type Nat->Nat.

Then the function `counterexample n = Succ (en n n)` is a function that cannot be outputted by `en`, and therefore `en` fails to enumerate all total functions.

I've got other things to do, unfortunately, so I can't say more than this.

[edit] Fixed the counterexample.
I was going to ask for a source, but I saw you've commented in the past that you're the GitHub Actions product manager.

> Apple also does not charge for the app, so consumers were not harmed.

As far as I understand, those two things are unrelated. Lack of competition by itself is considered to hurt consumers. Assuming that Apple's choice was based on monopolistic behavior (which is for the courts to decide), whether they got money while doing it is not relevant.
I suspect the brilliance/differentiating factor for your service is that you "leverage GPU sharing to provide very competitive pricing", and the "smooth scaling" part. Is that right?
These are not so much "ideas" as already-common practice, aren't they?
If you take away all the media hype around Alan Turning and just see his contributions, he will still stand out.

On Computable Numbers [1] is perhaps one of the top 3 papers in the history of Mathematics. One of the most remarkable thing about Turning Machine is its simplicity.

Then again, in 1950, Can Machine Think[2] is perhaps the top 3 papers in the history of Philosophy. And then again, one of the most remarkable thing about Turing Test and the Imitation Game is its simplicity.

The impact of these two papers in the academia, industry and in our lives is huge.

Alan Turning is easily one of the top 3 Mathematicians and Philosophers of all time.

This basically means workers do not have any negotiating power by themselves. They only have negotiating power when they have a competing offer.
My hot take:

The range of electric cars degrades considerably at low temperatures in my experience (75% of range sometimes). There is no scenario where gas trucks cars will not be utilized in Canada and the northern united states until this type of technological issue is resolved. Not to mention, the number of chargers would have to increase exponentially to support all of the electric cars coming online.

There are simply places in North America where electric cars will never probably work.

They are not yet feasible in rural areas. I feel like most of these policies are made and passed by people who are completely out of touch with rural living. And that's a problem because about half the country lives in rural areas with minimal infrastructure.

Moreover, people like gas powered vehicles. There is a certain romantic appeal to a fire breathing engine. There are other ways of dealing with climate change and all of the doomsday predictions are rather unlikely worst case scenarios.

And in the grand scheme automobile emissions are a small fraction of total anthropogenic carbon output. Really if we want to make a dent in emissions globally we need to get container ships to stop burning bunker fuel.

Yet I do this more on HN than any other site since I don't know if someone's responded to me.

Noprocrast was... helpful, I guess, but I found myself racing to make poor quality responses sometimes, or HN was constantly locked out whenever I wanted to take a short break, instead of being able to take the time to respond with a thoughtful answer.
Yep. And, quite honestly, I think a large proportion of women going to college/university are going because they have been told to go, not because they believe it will help them reach any particular goals. Where are all of these university educated women ending up? Swathes of them end up in mediocre jobs like call centre operators or bullshit jobs at big finance companies and the like. It's a million miles from academia. Did they really all need 3 years of full-time education?

I think the numbers of men going to university is just closer to what is a sensible proportion.
Well, legislation + policing + prosecution + courts of law with due process are precisely that - manual moderation of social behaviour at massive scale (admittedly not billions, but hundreds of millions of individuals). Yes, endlessly complicated, yes, costs a fortune, yes, riddled with flaws, yes, it becomes a political problem, yes can be very emotionally challenging (I know because my wife is a criminal public defender. A bad day for me is when a sprint is late. A bad day for her is literal rape, torture, murder, injustice. Definitely puts things in perspective. But she knew what to expect, has a balanced workload, is well compensated and believes it is for a greater good. If facebook is structuring things in a way that people are being crushed - I've read those articles too and don't doubt it - shame on them). But 'it's hard work' isn't a very good excuse.

To be clear - I understand your point and sort of agree with it from a software engineering perspective; I just don't think that's necessarily the right perspective here. Every day we demand that governments and companies in all sorts of different industries do lots of hard, complicated, not-easily-computer-programmable, bug-riddled human processes requiring subjective judgement because they need to be done.

People & organisations aren't entitled to only do the things that need to be done which they can do with near-zero marginal cost with computer software - when they can do that, good for them. When they can't, tough.

Yes, I agree, from personal experience designing good Recommendation Systems is hard. That's a field I'm interested in too - out of curiosity what alt-tech sites have you tried? Would be interested in also trying them and exchanging notes.

For sure, here's a few tidbits:

ML: fine-tuned CLIP model. Each video frame is embedded using CLIP and then the image embedding is compared against the text query embedding

Architecture: everything is serverless using AWS lambda. Basic flow is: video upload to storage, lambda for converting video to still frames, perform ML inference on each frame, aggregate inference results and create customer output.
That's a good point. But I would still include a check for OS's that I know support it. This means it wouldn't work on OS's without first explicitly allowing it.

I view this as a feature and not a bug. There's a good chance there are other things to consider when a new OS adds pledge or unveil, and this gives the developer a chance to test support on the new OS before anyone uses it.

Basically, I disagree with the article that you want to implement this in Python in a completely OS agnostic manner.

One solution would be to force Apple to break up into seperate firms. So you have Apple App Store, and Apple app maker as seperate firms, and Apple app maker is required to be treated as any other app developer in the app store.

Our mission begins with "we are here to make free software better". We're motivated entirely by this goal, and not by profits or personal gain or noteriety or anything else of the sort. We believe in free software and we want to do our part to make it better.

Sponsoring projects like OSM, which are important for free software, open data, and free culture in general, is one of the ways we do this. A project like that does not have to have a direct relationship with SourceHut - it just has to further our mission of making free software better.
I found this out years ago, and adopted the British style. It makes way more sense and reads better.

I'll also put in my two cents here about spaces after a period. I always use two spaces after a sentence and one after an abbreviation.

If you only ever use one, there is too much ambiguity around sentences that end with an abbreviation.
Interesting read. One thing seems to be missing, and that is any notion of participating in upstream development. In open source you don't have to just be a consumer, you can actively participate in the development of dependencies to varying degrees. They do point to people near the edge vs on the edge as having better practices, and I'd think that's because they at least follow and understand what's going on vs just using the latest. Following and understanding seems very close to participating, though they are different.
Hm, average lifetime of American cars is 8-12 years.
Most models have an update or iteration every 2-5 years.
This means car manufacturers need to come up with a solution rather fast and acceptance should be initiated very soon, if someone buys a brand new car in 2031, they might not want to give it up 4 years later.
Electric car infrastructure is not ready yet for this scale either and permissions to build might take a while.
Rd, testing and production are all very low.

Seems unrealistic to me, unless this legislation only covers new cars and selling used cars is still ok?
FWIW, as another anecdatum from an American, I was always taught the "British style" was the correct way, and the "American style" was incorrect. They were never referred to as "British" or "American" though, just "correct" and "incorrect".

I prefer the "British" style, FWIW. Maybe it's just what I was taught, but I have encountered arguments for the other way periodically (causing me to have to check), and I always preferred the way I learned for the reasons in the article.
Not naive, rather privileged.
>it's objectively true since we've predominately been in positions of power (European & new world) for the greater part of history

Excuse me? That's ridiculously eurocentric and only contributes to "visibility problems" you seem to care about. It may have been somewhat true for a few hundred years, but there are many cultures that stood millenia without any european influence whatsoever. And in the very near future, asian countries will surpass the west in terms of influence, as it has been for a long time.
I never really understand the hype behind blockchain related technologies. The low transaction throughput, high compute resource demands makes it pretty unusable in most cases. Lots of workaround either has security problem or violated the idea of decentralization of blockchain, which makes it meaningless to use blockchain. Oh, there is also PoS which doesn't need CPU for mining, but doesn't anyone think it's irony that it makes rich people richer?

Decentralization doesn't mean there shouldn't be one or some centralized nodes. That means open protocol, and server cannot control everything (for example, with end to end encryption). So that anyone can run the server, and user can use the service without trust the server.

Most importantly, non regulation doesn't always mean good. Otherwise why we need law and government? Why not live in the wild west and let strong people kill weak people? Why not let big company play the monopoly?
> On the other hand, 14 years is quite a while

14 years is nothing when electric vehicles are only 1% of the current market. There is a wide range of vehicles that have no electric alternative available yet, such as vans and off road vehicles. I will be surprised if it doesn't get extended.
> There are no situations where a gas car is preferable or necessary?

For a passenger car? No, not really. And it's getting better and better as more fast charging services come online. Electrical infrastructure is extremely cheap relative to other costs like roadbuilding, there simply aren't any places you can go with roads but not efficient grid connectivity, all that's needed is building the right kind of outlets.
I don't know where you get that idea. I mean income spreading, and it's available to individuals. Leave your personal attacks on another forum please.

As already pointed out, some use schema as a namespace feature.

Also within a very large monolithic app you might still want some separation of access given to different modules, so a nasty bug that allows injection or inspection attacks has a more limited scope for causing DoS or exfiltration. You can control access on a per-table basis or even per column in some DBs, but the schema can be a convenient place to configure that over a larger surface in one go.

How useful any of this seems to you is going to be a subjective thing.

Rooftop solar got cheap enough to be not quite viable and then took off like a rocket with government subsidy. If people could install chargers at a negligible net cost to them you'd see them everywhere as landlords and house flippers jump to "check that box".

Is the calculation not a lot more complicated than that?

E.g. i can imagine they are predicting higher rates of walking and cycling in cases that would otherwise have been a 2-3minute car journey. You’d expect that to have a visible effect on public health at a state level at least.
