Given this layout, I can't tell whom you're addressing this to: the guy who said "folly" was the better translation?

In any case, I did study German in college, but I'm far from being able to judge what word is accurate. If the word was "Dummheit" that translates literally as "dumb head" but that doesn't mean a German would understand it that way.
Agreed. I used to have a DeskJet 500 which I sadly got rid of years ago. It had much better build quality than modern inkjet printers.

> This was right before it got gobbled up by MBAs and celebrity CEOs, who spun it off into a hundred subunits hawking flimsy plastic trinkets and "business consulting".

Indeed. Very sad.
So building on this...many physical casinos use a manual shuffle, especially at higher limits, as bigger players tend to distrust shuffle machines. Even some online casinos with live dealers will shuffle the previous shoe on camera, manually.

Since getting a truly random shuffle would take too long, this is a poor method of getting random results. Would it be possible to, at least to some degree, predict the order of the cards using one of these models, given the order of the cards prior to shuffling? I'm thinking something along the lines of being able to say that the odds of a given card being the next one are higher than they should be, not outright predicting the full order of the cards.
I'm confused. Is this a system to be able to add buttons to FPGA's through their logic gate sort of system? Do you plug the buttons into a particular "slot" or something?
It's the current local maximum. The point of civilian gun ownership is to keep the means of offense and defense in the hands of the people. Think socialism, but instead of companies, it's guns.

> In this example, should fib(35) be evaluated at compile time or runtime?

In that example, at compile time. If you write fib(35) you deserve to have to wait for the compiler to do it at compile time instead of at run time. (I'm not saying this to be funny. I'm really trying to make a point. You really do need a realistic example to motivate your side of the argument. If they're hard to come up with, that's kind of my point.) And honestly if I wrote that I would fully expect my compiler's optimizer to already waste that time constant-folding anyway; if I was concerned about its compile time I wouldn't write that even without constexpr.

> Best to give them a choice.

A need for that choice (assuming it's even necessary here, which is debatable, see above) doesn't mean you need a new keyword, especially not for functions. It could've been an attribute, and whatever it is, it only really makes sense on variables, not functions. And whatever it is, turning it into an exclusion instead of an inclusion would probably make sense here, seeing as how so much of the standard library has constexpr in front of it.
> but that would mean the UK energy industry is run by the Chinese and the French.

Traditionally, the UK has had no qualms about letting foreign companies run key industries. As long as they get run cheaply, the government and the consumers are happy.
it's happened at the city level too. SF built out the extraordinary auxiliary fire fighting system back in the day. Now they're unwilling to extend it to the sunset so just bought a bunch of pipes.

Could never quite put my finger on what happened, but I have to imagine Reagan had a lot to do with it

Fusion is getting slightly closer every 20 years. A fusion power plant approaching anything like a fission power plant's output is still at the very least 30 years away (EUROfusion's timeline says 2051). And that will probably be the most expensive power plant in history, even ignoring all the money poured into ITER.

That gives at least 100 years before Fusion can become a major part of power generation in any significant part of the world, and this is assuming current projects achieve all their milestones on time, which historically is extremely unlikely. And this also assumes that it's even possible to reduce the cost of a ten million kelvin plasma held in place by 12 kelvin superconducting magnets, covered in a pool of liquid lithium.
Can second the praise for the Epson Eco-Tank printers. Ink is cheap and lasts extremely long. Also I never had any problem with clogged nozzles etc which I used to face frequently on the cheaper printers. (though my Eco-Tank printer is black-and-white only which maybe alleviates many of those problems).

Also the integrated scanner worked out-of-the box for me under Debian, after I compiled and installed utsushi [1] from sources (edit: I'm only scanning from the utsushi command-line, no experience WRT integration with sane etc.).

Well, what SpaceX is doing doesn't really matter. I can't just show up to Arkansas and say I'm fracking for oil to cure cancer and get hand-waved through. They're private entities, no matter what they're doing, and they're subject to the same scrutiny that everyone else puts up with.
Maybe create virtual roads for flying? The "roads" do not have anything there and are therefore safe to fly over?

German supermarkets are allowed to lock out unvaccinated people
Yup, though those tend to be purchased by large corps in bulk via industrial channels, so the companies still make good money.

Most large corps have done the math and know their TCO all in is much lower (since they have the scale that they need to hire staff and explicitly account for dealing with issues like printer problems).

The printer companies have also done their market research and math, and know how much they can squeeze out of these corps while still having the math clearly make sense for them.

Can you imagine the logistical and end user support nightmare if they gave everyone their own cheap inkjets? Lolz.

It’s bad enough as it is, and per-page the problems are way less frequent.
You and JoshTriplett are arguing different (and non-contradictory) points. You are saying that "the experience of using Facebook is pleasant and worthwhile for me, after taking some steps to alter my experience of it". They are saying "Facebook is a net-bad for society and we would all be better off if it didn't exist". These can both be simultaneously true. Overall-bad things can be pleasant for some users some of the time.

> The privacy issues don't actually bother me much[...]I'll just run uBlock Origin[...]

That's nice (and I, too, have my own ways for mitigating some of the worst bits of Facebook), but the very fact that you are having to take steps to "protect yourself" from Facebook demonstrates that it is a flawed platform. The vast majority of users are either going to be unaware of those issues, or unable to mitigate them. This is (and I want to emphasise this, because it runs contrary to a common attitude on HN) *not their fault*. It is not reasonable to expect the average computer user to know how to install extensions, nor which ones are important and trustworthy. It would be a wonderful world if they did, but . The fact that we technically-minded folks _can_ mitigate the effects of Facebook's undesirable behaviour for ourselves, does not excuse that behaviour.

(I also think it's a little unimaginative to think that Facebook's tracking is _only_ used to serve ads, and that you will always be able to mitigate all impacts of that tracking - but that's veering into speculation)

> It doesn't matter to me if they're on the same platform as me if I don't see it.

It should do. The harm of extremizing communication is not (only) to the people that see the communication - it is in the outcome of that positive feedback experience. The end result of "communication that you don't see" is "real-world actions that you do see". Would you similarly say "It doesn't matter to me if the KKK are gathering to plan lynchings, so long as they hold their meetings behind closed doors and hand out their flyers on streets I don't frequent"?

Facebook is the largest and most accessible social platform in the world. There _is_ a difference between "Hate groups can collaborate and gather members on Facebook" and "etc. etc. on Parler/Gab", because the former allows them _much_ greater access to fence-sitters, the undecided, the less-politically-aware, and so on. Everyone and their aunt is on Facebook, but (mostly) only those who already hold a particular ideology find themselves on the alternative sites. If hate-groups can only recruit from among those who already agree with their credo, they're going to find it harder to grow - which is a good thing.
From the article being discussed:

"The government is at present drawing up plans to subsidise electric pumps with grants of £5,000 for air source heat pumps and £6,000 for ground source heat pumps."
The problem is nobody cares about long term sustainable growth.

Execs come and go and want a nice fat bonus now. Shareholders will jump ship to a different company that does this and manages to go more up-and-to-the-right. This bubbles down the whole chain - it is the PMs and teams who push for change, redesign etc who get promoted, not the ones who just continue making a good product that will last.

You don't have anyone who sticks around for many years and is passionate about the problem and doing the right thing. And even if you do, in a public company they get pushed out by CEO who promises more immediate growth.
I did notice them as well. I wonder if the original video had already been edited so that the swastikas were (in my opinion) mostly clipped out, or if this is a more recent edit...
If you’re interested in this topic of leveling up as a freelance creative, I recently came across Chris Do who has a lot of youtube content on this topic. There’s a lot of good stuff, and his delivery is much better than most other of the similar content youtube associates with him.
Are all properties suitable for a heat pump though? That's the question. My understanding is they are basically aircon units running in reverse, which means outside heat radiators?

What do you really want from a computer monitor?
Software engineer here, all I want from a good monitor is the ability to render crisp text (rest is bonus for me personally)
I'm trying to read the code linked on Codeberg, which I've never heard of before. It's astounding how bad it is. The file list truncates file names when there's plenty of space. The code view has a margin and huge line numbers, but then tries to wrap lines. But it wraps the code mid-word, which makes it so much harder to follow. Simply putting the code in a PRE tag and calling it a day would have been preferable; how is it possible to get displaying code so wrong in the year of the Linux desktop 2021? This is table stakes for a git service.
Absolutely the M1 and I'm sure M1X / M2 beat everything on the market. The question is whether consumers need the M* chips or if the latest Intel or AMD offerings are good enough given the tradeoffs. I don't have FOMO over most work per watt or suspend features on a laptop.

Funnily enough my ipad pro is great for light development work and remote access to a real workstation when I need it. For me there's no compelling reason to buy a MacBook.
And as my pro is past the two year Applecare window I now have to treat it with kid gloves since a dropping it will be a $1,000 mistake. That definitely informs my next purchase which will not be an impossible to repair and expensive to replace disposable-by-design device.
"The method is suitable for headlines and a single short paragraph of text. It’s not suitable for long paragraphs of texts or multiple paragraphs. It yields no benefit over the browser’s default layout engine when the text exceeds a couple of lines. You’ll also end up with paragraphs of uneven widths, which breaks up the cohesion of the right-hand text edge of your design. It works great for two–four lines of text, though."

Knuth-Plass is for setting all text to a specified width and balancing as best as possible within that, not having varying widths.
Pretty much has to be a macbook so I can test developer experience on OSX and the product with Safari.

Otherwise I develop on a 64GB 16/32 core workstation.
yeah it really read like the author is mistaking open APIs for open source.
Bootcamp.

Friend of mine did a bootcamp recently, and had three offers two weeks after finishing. It was pretty intense at 6 days a week 10h each. They seemed to cover a lot of ground. There are bootcamp comparison sites that show how the people landed after a few month.
The market is pretty hot right now which seems to translate into easier entry for new people, which was usually the hardest part.
A cake and 2 dozen brownies a day to make rent eh? What’s in them brownies?
It depends on your definition of good, as for me most laptops have bad keyboards, and so-so is actually somewhat of a compliment. I do think thinkpad keyboards are still better than macbook keyboards, but not by as large a degree as they used to be.

This article is a good summary of the keyboard situation:

With high end goods and services It’s not enough to know the market.

Cultural fit is critical. To be in the metaphorical $6000 cake segment of the cake market, you have to hit all the social notes on cue that customers in the metaphorical $6000 cake market want their $6000 cake makers to hit.

What I mean is that the architect who designs golf course clubhouses has to be fun to play golf with to establish and maintain relationships with potential and current clients.

Delivering a $6000 cake cake experience to the sort of event that pays for a $6000 cake runs on the razor edge of servant and served without questioning the absurdities around $6000 cakes.

And if a person likes making cakes, bringing the joy of cake to 200 clients may be more satisfying than catering to people who suppose themselves intrinsically entitled to being catered to.

Obviously I know where I fall on that equation. From personal experience for whatever that’s worth.
No, the halting problem is not concerned with "the stars would burn out", and encryption is not useful for proving its undecidability. Framing the halting problem as "can we find the answer before the heat death of the universe" is not an interesting take: The program "count to g_64" [0] will run incomprehensibly longer than the universe will exist, but yet it trivially halts.

FWIW, your take boils down to https://xkcd.com/1266/.

Everything in your [1] source says obscenity itself gets further and further diluted, and that the judges decisively say "obscenity exists" but are not trying cases themselves on obscenity grounds. and then stops before the year 2002. that is a laughable source as it doesn't even know what happened in the final court case mentioned and then lacks 20 years of data. this is a chronology, on this topic the relevant cases being the later ones, even in your article.

I mentioned one specific court case where one specific defendant was sued over one specific piece of content, where one specific plaintiff didn't move forward with the case after being presented with a defense, because they are serial plaintiffs that only want settlements. Your own source [2] says serial plaintiffs is what is happening! Not even sure where to start with you. The only point being about why there is not a decisive case on that particular defense because it never reached a judge.

More specifically, Liuxia Wong v Hard Drive Productions is a countercase, referring to Hard Drive Productions demanding a settlement from Liuxia for infringing on their copyright of a porn movie. Liuxia sued them back saying it wasn't copyrightable. What you will find online are motions to dismiss, which were denied. Then you'll find there was a settlement

Of course it’s useful. My argument is that it’s no longer necessary for most programmers. Almost every language now comes with a native good enough hash table implementation.
Copy pasting shit in your repo means you are responsible for maintaining that code and need to keep track of upstream manually. Especially in c++ where memory bugs are prevalent, this sounds like a terrible idea.
From your Queen's article :

On a trip to a school in Bristol, southwest England, Johnson told baffled schoolchildren: "I promise to get world leaders to cut greenhouse gases and save the planet."

He later held up a signed, leaf-shaped piece of paper on which he had written his pledge.

Whatever the outcome, I'll be very happy to hear about Johnson's pledge after the COP...
We should permit a few fossil energy plants to provide a high baseload generation for the heavy industries.

Nuclear is too unpopular and renewables cannot provide the high baseload generation needed for the heavy industries.
This is why the aliasing rules in C explicitly allow aliasing any pointer type with a char*.
The UK strategy is to replace those gas burners with heat pumps, which you can power with nuclear energy.

The problem in the UK is that many houses are very old and poorly insulated. Passivhaus basically needs to be the standard (if it isn't already).

That seems like an odd interpretation of supply & demand, or you mean the word easier in some other way than the work is simple/easy to do.

Because if the work is easy, and there's high demand and high salaries as a result, tons of people will flock to that easy work and the increased supply of workers would drive down wages.
The CDU has a wing that still depends on old coal-burners for their jobs. Shutting down nuclear was their idea of keeping those folks “working” for longer while solar and (especially) wind were spooled up.

To that end, it’s looking better now that the Greens are in the ruling coalition.
It isn’t that the metal gears alone are worth 10-20x. It is that if you do the math over a long period of time, use it somewhat often, and include things like your time (at any reasonable labor rate) fixing issues, tracking down replacements, etc. it almost always makes sense to have something that will have fewer issues, last longer, and is designed to be more durable even at greater expense. In things with moving parts, that may mean metal gears and reinforcement in wear areas, but not always.

This of course depends on how frequently you are going to use it, how hard, for what, and how severe or expensive the consequences of it breaking on you unexpectedly are.

‘Commercial’ or ‘pro grade’ is usually more durable and expensive because the market demands it - employees are often harder on equipment than someone who bought it directly, it gets used at a much higher duty cycle, maintenance is often neglected at least as much as a residential user, etc. and the market is willing to pay more because it breaking stops them from making money, or requires them to spend more money on labor getting it fixed.

They also tend to have horrible UX or require specific steps to work, since they know it is being bought for it’s utility not because it is pretty (most of the time), and someone will have to figure out how to use it or get figured after the company is already paid.

They still do get scammed sometimes of course.

The printer equivalent of harbor freight tools has a place if you’re going to toss it in a year anyway due to a move, or need it for a single job and then never again, as long as it isn’t a safety/critical path item anyway.
The U.K. didn’t start down the nuclear path because of environmental issues, it went that way because it (a) wanted atomic weapons, and later (b) the power struggle between coal mining trade unions and the Thatcher Conservative government (the strikes were part of broader issues at the time, but nuclear energy was part of the response to that).

I’ve read the suggestion that the anti-nuclear-power activism in the west was stoked by the USSR precisely because of (a). No idea how true that is.

Honestly I would recommend, if people feel isolated, visit a chess-club. It's a good game for everyone, it's having a renaissance, you meet people from all ages, looks, and walks of life (instead of just the millennial petite bourgeoisie) and you're probably not going to run into a lot of influencer types.
Personally I just want a Macbook Pro style laptop that runs Linux really well. IMO the build quality of the Macbook Pro is second to none and I really enjoy the keyboard (now that it's fixed) and the beautiful and super useful trackpad. But ... I am getting tired of all the hoops I have to jump through to run Linux-y things and would like to just run Linux (even though I might go back the option is nice to have).
The big deal is that the well is seemingly exempt from the regulation all other wells go through.

It doesn't matter what Musk does with the methane, what matters is that he's at best exploiting loopholes and at worst operating extrajudicially.

Also, SpaceX "powering the human colonization of Mars" is a pretty huge sip of the Kool Aid there. Given the founder's track record, it's about as believable as "fully self-driving cars in a year".

But, more importantly, it's irrelevant to the problem at hand, sidestepping the regulation process
Not to get you depressed, but given the amount of momentum involved there is absolutely no way we will meet our climate targets. It's game over on that front, the best you can hope for is damage limitation.
