You’re hinting at something interesting there. As someone who‘s in web professionally but has been programming games as a hobby, I have only naive insight into the latter.

But from that superficial understanding I assume it has to do with control:

In a game you control the rendering/layout logic more specifically. Not every element has to follow all the rules, they need to follow certain rules, scoped to their use case.

With CSS we only have high level control _and_ a predefined data structure that may or may not make sense for specific cases (DOM tree), so each rendering node has to respect _all_ the features, plus _all_ these dependencies are propagated across the whole tree, whether it makes sense or not for a given use case.

If we had more generic, less abstract control, we would not have the same problems. Maybe there is merit in exposing more control to web developers.
Would it be feasible to build a whole cluster of these for compute power?
All studies have some level of risk for bias... But that doesn't mean all studies have the same level of risk.

The essay you linked is very good, but it's actually illustrating my point... The mouse study ran into bias problems because they had to go and directly measure something in nature, and then turn that into a number. That introduces several opportunities for error.

But this SSRI/COVID study isn't doing that. They're literally just looking at patient records, and counting hospitalization vs current SSRI usage. They're not picking up mice to count ticks... They're exporting records to a spreadsheet, and summing columns.

Now, these guys might have problems with the quality of the records they're relying on... Who knows whether the records are accurate or not. But that's a problem of data quality, not experimental bias.

You might say "Who cares? Either kind of error undermines the results, just the same!" But it definitely suggests that the other guy doesn't know what he's talking about... Because if he did understand stats, he would have used the right terminology.

The Amazon starts around 1,600 km north of the Parana River. Can it affect the river flow so strongly from that distance?
> it seemed the river was quite full in 2019 and in 2021 seems suddenly most of the river is gone

As I understood to the text and the map, most of the land that dried are the “marshes, lagoons and meandering streams” mentioned. You can still clearly make out the main stream of the river, which presumably carries the majority of the volume, at the bottom of both images.

The rest of the article makes it clear the water levels have been declining for decades.

Texas was the number 4 state for number of SALT deduction claims due to the high property tax.

The intention of 230 is to prevent law suit against agents of connectivity for the contents conveyed by such connectivity. More specifically, prevent use of content as a legal weapon to deny access.

The abuse of 230 is in what separates a content source from that which conveys such content. It’s not that drawing an objective separation is challenging it’s that nobody wants objectivity. For example some people don’t care that Facebook will be harmed, and perhaps they hope it will be harmed, but cry a river if it prevents equivalent access to cat videos on YouTube.

That subjectivity is the only defense potential targets of reform, beneficiaries of online advertising, have and will exploit it to death irrespective of what any such specific reform contains or intends. As such any proposed reformed is going to make people angry no matter how toxic Facebook is. The quantity and directness of evidence towards vile, harmful, and catastrophic behavior doesn’t matter.

As I see it there are only two paths forward for successful regulation and they will both make people very upset.
Gotchas with traditional publishing is shocking, especially the "Deep discounts" part.

Ask HN: What is the life status on WPF?
I found WPF to be an excellent framework/layout engine for MVC development. MVVM is a nice thought out scheme centered around the platform. It’s mature and intuitive to make smart, good looking apps. Unfortunately, not much is heard these days presumably with the adoption of embedded layout engines like Electron and thriving frameworks like React, Angular, Vue etc.

I know “dead” is an arguable word in tech, so instead I ask, how are things for WPF, and what does its future look like?
No, I think that definitely counts as a counterexample. Wow. TIL.
Yes, but that is almost as true for foreign groups as domestic ones.

> But do they demand a brick and mortar physical book retail warehouse that they have to commute to?

Yes, absolutely so. Correctly. The physical collection offers qualities that cannot be found otherwise; the direct contact is one, the browsing the mass of material is another, the environment (when properly created) another. We will reach to the other side of the world occasionally, and travel hundreds of miles normally.

It is very different from obtaining computer code, and in some ways more similar to purchasing cloth (which pretty much requires contact, properly and irregardless of custom).

> The vast majority of the public doesn't go to libraries

Just for this, first of all, there is a problem. You cannot drop a bit like "the vast majority don't wash" like an idle remark about the weather in front of a tsunami.

And to the point, in fact I was referring to «the public that wants (demands) a book retail warehouse». Those who are properly interested in the matter, not the casual user.
Easily solvable in the context of all other problems being harder ;)
How do you do it correctly in a bi-lingual app? Say your app is in English but you want to display asian language file names. Is there any way to tell if a string is chinese or japanese? I think CJK variation selectors embedded in the string are not widely used. And it would be a bit overkill to include a language detection heuristic (which would likely fail for short phrases). So should you let the user decide? Default to Japanese on a Japanese PC, otherwise leave it undefined?
>I’d do it. It’d greatly expedite collecting the Clay’s prize money to have someone recognizable validate the proof

yeah, but in my case (and presumably the previous commenter's case) I don't know who Zaik on HN is and if they are recognizable in the field. That they asked increases my feeling that it is likely they are recognizable but surely anyone who solves p!=np isn't going to just follow something as irrational as a feeling.
Yea, that's what I meant. Even as someone who works with Exploratory Data Analysis, I've never heard EDA used outside the context of Electronics.

I disagree with the term broadly. Slander and harassment really have very specific definitions. Social media mobs and the news are rarely, if ever, held to full (or any) consequences. When the news is punished for slander it's usually very specific things that they've misstated. They can dance around things and paint pictures all they want, as long as they don't directly claim something happened that didn't.

The issue is - when there's no proper glyph it uses a fallback?

Or...
The context of what glyph will be rendered depends on the document defined locale.

Presumably such a formalization is precluded by easy formalizations of executions of Turing machines; already computer scientists describe Turing machines and their executions in most proofs in extremely informal ways because of their tediousness. It would already be a miracle if we had clear formalizations of proofs of major complexity results regarding Turing machines.
I was reading the COVID-19 literature and this review was the best I found at elucidating the known pathophysiology so far. It indicated that part of the (very complex) syndrome was platelet release of 5-HT (serotonin). They speculated that SSRIs of some kind could help stem the dumping of 5-HT into the bloodstream.

The disease evolves to different stages using different mechanisms at each stage, which explains why certain medications only seem to work at really specific stages of the disease.

BTW, hedge fund trading is all about finding an edge based on:

1. executing a trade on breaking news ahead of the other guys

2. finding an unknown correlation between Event A and the stock price

The thing about (2) is once someone does find a correlation, that knowledge spreads out to the other hedge fundies, negating the advantage.

And then it's back to future profits. It always goes back to future profits. Bill Gates was asked once if he followed MSFT. He replied that he didn't, he just focused on making Microsoft profits and MSFT took care of itself.

I also remember a CEO who said at a company meeting that he'd adjusted the books to "what Wall Street was looking for". The stock promptly tanked. WS wants profits, not manipulation.

P.S. did you see what MSFT did yesterday? It jumped up quite a bit. Because of profits beating expectations. Not because of a 3rd derivative.
> How many companies that are founder controlled will be forced to no longer be founder controlled because of this tax scheme? Based on the legislative text, I suspect it's a very small number and might be 0, but I grant that it may not be 0.

I guess one can do the mental exercise of consider what would have happened had this law been in place already to Bill, Jeff, Sergei, Larry, and Mark.

Ignoring whether it's a "good thing" or "bad thing": Mark owned 22% of FB shares at IPO in 2012, 4 years later the market cap was ~$500B, so assuming he kept 22% ownership throughout, he went from ~20 to ~$100B of wealth, meaning over those 4 years he'd have to find how to pay for an extra $16B tax bill (20% of 80B gain). Unless his salary was set to a couple billions a year, he'd definitely have to sell some of the stocks.

As a way to protect himself from this dilution in ownership, what could he do?

- Setup a complex class of shares (like F class described somewhere else in this thread)?

- Not go public?

The Mark, Jeff etc of the world are obviously the extreme outliers, but the same would apply to "smaller fish" (billionaires still!), Including Tim Sweeney if if ever wanted to take his company public.
I can see this going the way of bitemark analysis.

China is way more than a "few years" away from taking the semiconductor throne from Taiwan (read: TSMC) and you already see a reshoring movement in the West which is driven in large part by the recognition that access to chips is a national security issue. For this reason, I don't believe China will have the chance to become the world's supplier of semiconductors. Ever.

If Xi hadn't taken the path he has, China might have had the chance to. But the West (and even much of the East) has lost trust in China.

For years, China has been trying to hurt Taiwan's economic infrastructure, with limited and very patchy success. One amazing figure: Taiwan, with a population of just ~23 million, has foreign reserves of over $540 billion USD, the fifth highest of any country in the world.

Also, while the media paints a picture of a stark divide between China and Taiwan, economically the relationship is much more complicated. Many wealthy Taiwanese own businesses/factories in China.

No, you need a lot of adapters to add ethernet, durable mass storage, etc. over USB OTG. Since these are just Raspberry Pi 3 SOCs effectively you could pick some of those up for the same price as this new board and all the USB dongles and adapters you'd need.

side rant: it's annoying how you can't buy these things by themselves, usually bundled with crap

I do want this, I think it's taken for granted how easy this thing can connect to a camera. I bought a Teensy/blue/BeagleBone/etc.. thinking "Oh I'll just plug in a camera into it". For the Teensy it won't but maybe the Beagle bone. I was using a single core Pi Zero so it was noticeable doing things like iterating over frames. Granted it can just be poor code on my part/noob in OpenCV.
The guess is based on what?

When I observe the world, I come to a different conclusion. I see people including non-programmers talk about HTML as code. I see software packages like editors that say they deal with code, and it's not about T-c languages. Encyclopedias and dictionaries record the definition of code very broadly as interpretation of information, not T-c languages specifically.

I am suggesting this as a thought exercise to expand your understanding of organization and interpretation of natural human language as a data construct.

Sorry you feel that way, it is meant to be a low-brow joke language, but definitely not supposed to feel mean-spirited. The language spec was originally designed by mostly Australians.

https://github.com/louis1001/c---/issues/5

So that gave me the sense that Australians were ok with this type of humor, though I did make some minor adjustments.

I'm open to suggestions for revising the syntax to make it feel like it's less mean-spirited.

No, it does not have the same cost as calling a method through an interface.
The initial three examples don't have a corresponding 'correct render' image next to them, so it's impossible for me to tell since they all render as the same character (which is incorrect given the lack of context).

Checking the source, the page _is_ specifying language tags in the span, which I guess is supposed to help. My system just must not have fonts for those languages so I obviously can't even test them.
The price of Lithium seems to be extremely volatile. Currently it seems to be quite valuable. Probably highly dependent on how electric cars and general batteries are faring.

My take on it: you get "infinitely parallel" computation, generating "inifinetly parallel" results that are in superposition. Problem is, at the end you can only access your "infinitely parallel" result via a classical measurement, involving a wave function collapse [1].

For some problems, people have found ways to extract useful information via classical measurements, e.g. Shor's algorithm (in theory breaking RSA/DSA/ECDSA/DH/ECDH style public-key algorithms [1]). However in the general case this does not work (so AES and hash algorithms are safe for now).

I’ve taken the vaccine and am vehemently anti-mandate. I know others in the same position. I haven’t admitted my anti-mandate views to anyone in person who I am not close to and trust. You’re right though, people definitely pick sides. I get the feeling people could hardly comprehend someone having a “mixed” view like mine, but from my vantage point it’s quite simple: I chose to get vaccinated; I recommend it for most above a certain age; I don’t think blanket coercion is justified.

There is an implicit assumption here that developers have a better understanding of these issues than the rest of the people involved. My experience is that many developers are clueless about UX in general.

Source: I'm a developer, and I work with other developers. On my team I'm the only person who has studied UX design, which resulted in me getting considerable praise for the quality and useability of my user interfaces. At the same time, I have seen my colleagues design interfaces by literally adding controls to a window in the order they implemented the features, starting in the top-left, and moving slowly down the page in a row by row fashion. Well, that's also a strategy...

The real problem is that most designers just like drawing pretty pictures, and are clueless about UX as well. Pushing that to developers is one option, but it's really a separate skillset.
