skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
1. weight <= 1.3 Kg

2. display >= 13.5"

3. 3 USB ports (nowadays they come as 2 + 1 USB-C, but that's ok)

4. HDMI port for projectors (2013 Toshiba z930 ultrabook used to have both HDMI and D-Sub ports!)

5. Keyboard with cursor keys not squeezed as on most modern laptops

6. Home/End/PgUp/PgDown proper keys, not through Fn combo (because then you can't do things like Shift+PgUp to select a lot of text)

7. If possible, without Windows

Other parameters are negotiable and upgradable.

Keyboard + USB requirements eliminate most laptops, including Frame, Mac and Think/IdeaPads (plus 13" ThinkPads weigh like a brick).

My choice is formed by the way I use them: I plug it to a monitor and keyboard, but often carry it to a cafe, so I want to be able to type on the keyboard, navigate texts (with a full-size cursor keys) and edit a lot of texts without pain that many laptops create (Lenovo Idea pad has very inconvenient delete/home/end keys). I have a USB wireless mouse (touchpads are inconvenient), and often plug extra devices (external drive, SD adapter, etc.). With just 2 USB ports I would often run out of ports having to unplug.

Weight is very important, since I walk and take transit with the laptop. Anything heavier than 1.3 Kg becomes noteable. 3 Kg is painful to carry even for 20 minutes, especially when you're tired after a working day.

The best I've known are:

* 2013 Toshiba z930. 1.05 kg, 3 ports, HDMI+VGA, SD card, 3G card!

* 2005 Panasonic Toughbook, consumer edition. 1.3 kg, passive cooling! 2x USB, Floppy drive xD, CD-ROM.

* 2019 MSI Modern 14. 1.3 kg, 2xUSB-A, 1xUSB-C, bright screen
Roguelike Celebration 2021
Yes France has a large Nuclear infrastructure and much of that is comming close to end of life. They are actively trying to get the EU to recognise Nuclear fission to be recognised as a green energy supply. If they can't achieve that then they will risk falling foul of the EU renewable/green targets - https://www.europarl.europa.eu/factsheets/en/sheet/70/renewa...

So without that, getting projects going and export of energy (of which France does more than most) all hang upon fission getting that green label approved by the EU.

Equally hydrogen may well prove a very economical method of storing electricity and for Nuclear plants (both types) the ability to turn them off and on per demand is something they can't do. So the ability to store that excess in off-peak in hydrogen and then converting back on-demand into electricity does seem like a viable solution if cheaper alternatives are not available. Not sure how they cost compare with lake dam energy storage - though that storage option for on-demand production is not cheap and equally limited by topography and land along with ecological impacts. So lots of hidden costs and upfront costs for those.
Common Lisp always struck me (not that I'm familiar) as a language lower than C, and higher than hell. Looks like high level assembler in places.

> The US has not delivered 1 billion doses. It has only delivered 100 or so million.

Agreed, 1 billion were pledged. Hundreds of millions have been delivered. In either case, that's more than all other countries combined.

> Of those, it has not worked out the distribution logistics, I assure you those countries still had to do the legwork.

It was a partnership, but the US is making sure vaccine pledges are actually being administered while other rich countries are faltering. The US is even partnering with the EU so that the EU can use the US logistics framework to realize their pledges.

> I have you five examples of countries that did not withhold their exports untill they had saturated their demand. The US is the only country that refused exports untill it literally couldn't use vaccines anymore.

You're repeating the same lies here again:

1. We're talking about donations, not exports

2. The US didn't prevent exports
New footage shows the tail-fins catch fire before the gas-bladders erupted. Those tail-fins must, therefore, have been quite flammable. The video suggests that the trigger for the fire was the release of a large build up of static electricity on approaching proximity to the ground. An airship is essentially, an oversized Leyden jar, and such a build up would cause problems, even for ones using helium for lift.

That post says that escape analysis is "heavily dependent on methods pertaining to candidate objects being inlined", implying that the check for whether something is returned from a method happens after inlining. The post then complains that the inliner's decision of whether to inline isn't informed by whether doing so would be beneficial for escape analysis. But that shouldn't matter for this particular microbenchmark where, according to the post, the function returning the optional does get inlined.
I don't think I've ever seen an inkjet plotter in action. Does the paper go through a single pass? I was always fascinated by pen plotters, especially when drawing diagonal lines or changing pens.

It's a shame UK left EU. All help would be welcome against Germany's lobby to continue burning fossil fuels and spewing the resulting GHGs into atmosphere. If they had been still in, I'm sure UK would have stood with France, nine other EU countries, and the various expert groups' assessments for classifying nuclear power in the EU sustainable taxonomy.

> The Heat and Building Strategy, to be published alongside the wider net zero review, will include a new 2035 target for a ban on fitting new domestic gas boilers.

Man, I'm glad this is included but the scientific reality is that we need to move much much faster than this.

For reference, even if we perfectly replaced every gas furnace at the end of its functional life starting today with a non-polluting heat pump, we'd still be on track for 2 degrees of warming.

We need gas bans on new houses NOW or at the VERY least create major up-front discounts for heat pumps.
All my Master of Orion games lost playing with the psylons beg to differ.
I've got a 20 year old Xerox Laser that's rock solid. Picked it up second hand. I print so little that I'm still on the first toner cartridge I bought. The scanner works well and gets lots of use (only downside is that it doesn't work over the network on Mac, which I can live with)
It's not really an "institutional bias" against men though. Some programs are skewed highly toward men. Others are skewed highly toward women. There are biases in both directions and when they average out there are more programs biased toward women than men. So is it an institutional bias or a bias in the field of study?

You can also see that the gender disparities in academia mirror the gender disparities in their related industries. e.g. more men get PhDs in tech and work in tech, but more women get PhDs in education and work in education. So is it academia that is the biased institution, or is it the related industry? Or are they creating those conditions by biasing who they teach? You can't really say given the statistics here, and you certainly can't use these statistics to support the claim that academia is biased against men! There's nothing here to draw a conclusion that strong.
TBH I think 0-2 would pass as completely fine depending on the context. #1 could probably be put anywhere and would only scare the most easily scared children. I could definitely expect to see stuff like #0 and #2 at maybe not the corner street daycare but maybe a prestigious private catholic school's daycare would have that nearby.

#3, #4 would just seem out of place because of their nudity. Most sane people would realize it is art but it would still seem weird.

Part of the US's double standard involves being exposed to stuff like the crucifixion and the concept of torture at a very young age. The concept that nudity can be appreciated or even expressed outside of a sexual context is not really a thing in the US. The issue is that the only use cases for nudity in movies & TV is going to sex related 99% of the time because if you are going to show nudity you might as well use it to suggest or depict sex.
Macron was not deflecting blame. France could not procure doses from the US, while the EU was allowing other countries to procure doses.

The US objectively prevented the sale of US produced vaccines. No country in the world has been able to do so and many tried. Something in the US prevented other countri s from buying us made vaccines.

I'm not contacting exports and donations at all. I'm comparing doses supplied to doses supplied.
The problem is these types of things, where you say "This is a non story and giving it this attention only makes things worse", can end up having a real, negative impact on society regardless.

Take a look at QAnon. I remember when I first heard about that thinking "Heh, those 4chan trolls are at it again". I got slowly more horrified as wider and wider swaths of people, including people in positions of government power, started believing this completely absurd nonsense.

More on topic for the article, as a gay person, I think it's great that young people today can explore their sexuality in a way that isn't terrifying if you land on something other than "straight". That said, I admit I do feel a bit of resentment when some younger people today want to change their sexuality on a monthly basis, or express outrage when you don't call them by new pronouns that they made up (not talking about he/she/they, I'm talking about stuff like 'xe'). It just feels like blatant attention seeking that cheapens the struggles of people who are actually not straight.

I'd love to see how one comes to these number. $0.75 is either very expensive flour, or a very large loaf sold too cheaply. Adding seeds (at what, 5-10% of the weight of the flour?) to a loaf doubles the ingredient cost? Glancing at bulk commercial prices, sesame seeds added at (the unrealistically high) 20% of a loaf made with 500g flour should be about $0.29. Poppy seeds almost gets you there if you use the unusually high 2018 price, at $0.65.

$3 of bulk part-skim mozzarella is generously something like 250g worth. That's skimpy for a large pizza. The rest of the ingredients for this "good" pizza are free?

A bakery that's throwing out too much is baking too much, or there's no market for their bread. That's nothing to do with the margin on bread being thin. Small profitable bakeries are ubiquitous where there's a market for them. See: France.
thanks for adding this context! One caveat is that the PyTorch strides used in the post are defined by elements rather than byte-wise.
It was a design flaw. The flames were able to travel quickly through the central passage which passed through the center of the gas-bladders. The footage shows flames venting from the nose of the airship.
Awesome comment + advice.

I suspect many will be on the fence looking at how fusion goes as that's getting closer and closer each day and once that becomes a reality in your energy grid production - fission will fall out of favour like a stone.

As an advocate for nuclear power, it amazed me that the UK gave EDF the go-ahead for Hinkley C given the Finnish experience (11 billion euros, about 3x the original budget and getting on for 10 years late) with the same reactor design. At least Olkiluto is sort-of producing power now.

Oh, and EDF in the UK really are the pits. Why anyone pays over the odds to use them is beyond me (it may be different for industrial users, but for consumers it's hard to imagine there's a worse choice). At least they won't go bust [0] being goverment backed.

Feel free to post any actual, peer-reviewed research that supports this claim of yours.

Because I do not believe it for a single second. This s 4chan/Kiwifarms style harassment rationalisation, not something that is actually happening.
I think I'd have trouble with the hashing function but unless you're using a basic modulo.
Rust doesn't have types named 'int' and 'long' out of the box. It does have types named e.g. i32, i64, u32 and u64.

Because the function get_int() takes a u64, Rust will conclude that the variable i must be a u64 so as to fit in that parameter.

It seems to me that "Java is bad at 64-bit integers" is also useful information but not pertinent to this benchmark, unless you assume it's trying to compare Java to Rust, at which of course Java will be far slower - but I don't think that's the point of the benchmark at all.
Because it has the lowest barrier to entry with highest potential to make a lot more money than a lot of shitty jobs. I don't necessarily disgree with you but just explaining the reason behind the gold rush with "learn to code and make six figures".

I don't really blame someone who is stuck in a shitty low paying job with no job guarantee. They have nothing to lose but try the whole coding thing and see if they can hit it big. The only issue with that is that if they don't enjoy learning how to code and are just doing it for quick money, they wouldn't be able to sustain that for a long period of time. I know a few people who tried bootcamps and then never got anywhere.

If you have a mid level IQ and are willing to put the work in and can self learn, coding is one of the best things you can try to get to six figure income. It literally costs nothing except your time for the most part.
I think it's better to view both independent left and ring wing media sources for balance and/or clarity but remain vigilant on said "editorial bias".

Right, and responder is saying in a competition for resources, pay less for non-mem corruption bugs, which should mean they aren't as hard to verify.

Is your point that all bugs soak up time to fix? If so pay the bounty and add it to the backlog. Or is it too much time to verify? That seems to be something you can kick back to the reporter.

Apologetics for a bug bounty program dragging their feet on a payout because "it's not a mem corruption bug" alone is unconvincing.
I wouldn't say the pixel 4 is better. My Pixel XL still works great and has unlimited google photos upload. All pixels afterwards have a time limited google photo upload (photos can only live there for so long before counting against your data limit). My Pixel 3 has been a PoS since I got it and only gotten worse over time. For example after a software update the usb-c port is no longer reversible, it only charges if cable is inserted in specific direction. I hear pixel 4 has similar Quality issues as pixel 3.
Me too but almost makes me want to buy a second one and just put it in storage in case the day comes when Brother too succumbs to corporate pressure to “improve products”.
1. It must be thin. Really thin.

2. Light. Thin and light.

3. Curved edges. Also curved edges. How could a laptop today not have curved edges? Yes, we said the same thing about the sharp edges of yesterday’s generation. But this time we really mean it.

4. Short battery life. Who wants to carry a huge battery with them? Easier to plug in everywhere you go anyways. Also goes directly against number 1 which is obviously more important.

5. Colors. Almost forgot it. Could you believe it? Specially crafted colors. Colors you’ve never seen before! I can not understand how some say it’s just rolling dice on the color spectrum. It’s totally new colors!

> I'm comparing doses supplied to doses supplied. It matters very little if the dose was paid or not when the issue isn't lack of money but lack of supply. Hell, the costs to administer the dose is higher than the cost of the actual vaccine.

Not at all. There's nothing impressive about Europe allowing its Pharma companies to sell vaccines to rich countries while allowing poor countries to fend for themselves. The poor countries are the ones with ~1% vaccination rates, so what matters are donations.

> Hell, the costs to administer the dose is higher than the cost of the actual vaccine.

Not in third world countries, but yes, the cost of the logistics is immense and the US is footing both the cost of the vaccine and the logistics.

This so much. I’ve had friends wanting to make the switch from totally non-technical industries, who only want to be hired as a full stack developer after a taking some online classes.

In my opinion, the absolute best way to make the switch is to start in tech support. It’s the same concept of the only true way to learn a 2nd language is immersion by living in the country. The only true way to make the switch to tech is to be immersed in it.

Starting in tech support at a small-to-mid-size startup is such a strong and viable path, it’s a shame most people don’t realize that.

If you are highly talented, sure. There are also piano prodigies, whereas everyone else has to study for many years to reach that level of proficiency and may never reach it.

Some can pick it up mind-boggingly quickly because their brains are naturally good at formal thinking, keeping many variables in their head, and being extremely precise and logical in their thoughts without much training. But again, that's such a small share of the population that "be a prodigy" is not really useful life advice.
I got an HP Laserjet in the late 80s for a computer center I ran at the University of Washington in Seattle. It was the best piece of hardware I've ever purchased. The clincher was the care with which they packed it and the simple instructions to take it out of the box and get it running.

I knew it was going to be great before even powering up for the first time.

You haven't offered any evidence that the US prevented sale of US produced vaccines except "Macron said so". This has been debunked thoroughly. You're deliberately repeating misinformation, so I don't think you're having a good faith conversation and thus I'm ducking out of this conversation. Have a good day.
Macron announced doubling down on nuclear because a poll said 51% of people were in favor of it. But don't forget this is Macron, he can say the contrary at any time, especially if a new poll say a majority of voters are against it. So don't bet too much money on it.

He let Fessenheim (one nuclear plant) close one year ago. And the nuclear plants he announced are a new kind of plants that we don't know how to create yet. (And he refuses to take position to open new plants with the current technology)
Would you have the model numbers for yours and the newer model? Thanks in advance.

> There is already the logistic capacity to ship in the proper conditions between these locations and a few central hubs. It just has to be run in reverse.

You can't just duplicate existing routes. The logistics to collect unused vaccines from endpoints (on an insanely tight clock), would be enormously complex. We'd be setting that up on a nationwide scale, in the middle of a worldwide transportation shortage.

Further increasing exportable vaccine production would seem to be a more attainable goal.

Absolutely. The inbox shouldn't be zero at all times, so you shouldn't hurry to clear an email the instant it arrives. But it's a state to strive towards.

Another GTD tip is to have recurring reviews where the goal is to clear your inboxes. They recommend weekly reviews, but you can have them more often or less often if you like.

I find this helps a lot as a tool to return to a good, organized, state whenever chaos strikes. (And it works just as well even if I've missed a couple of reviews.)
Exactly, the upscaling is good but any human intern would have fixed the color for free, even by choosing a random one, and it would have produced a result closer to expectations...
I read it more than once. Need any more clarification or were you just hoping for a longer answer to start a discussion?
Did you mean to swap those? Current nuclear power plants use fission, while fusion is still in development.
To the engineers who design things like this: fuck you.
Personally, I hate that whole thing of having a subreddit devoted to things you hate. Maybe I should start a subreddit about it.

It’s the 0.1% that drives the vast majority of the white collar profession.
