Moneyball wasn't about finding OBP - it's about finding what helps teams win (not making outs, ~2001) and simultaneously undervalues. The key thing here is this is dynamic - baseball no longer undervalues OBP.

Your "VPN fails to prevent my ISP from seeing the DNS request" attack is already prevented by using 1.1.1.1 with DNS-over-HTTPS even if Cloudflare gives your IP address, unencrypted, to the upstream DNS server, as the only party in question there is your local ISP. I am asking after some detail on the specific attack that Cloudflare is claiming they caught nationstate actors doing wherein it matters that Cloudflare's DNS requests leak my IP address, as the only scenario I can come up with where that matters is a hypothetical attacker that specifically is monitoring Cloudflare's egress (which frankly sounds relatively difficult due to scale) but not the website's ingress (which for a website of interest seems absolutely trivial) nor the user's egress (such as many countries now seem to do routinely), either of which trivially out the user's address and intent due to the browser making a direct socket connection to the result of the DNS query.

I'm not sure this is a "supposedly". There were tens of thousands of trucks that couldn't unload their empties because empties could only be stacked 2 high for aesthetic reasons. Longbeach has since amended that to 4 high doubling the capacity for empties, freeing up trucks to clear unloaded containers from the port. This may be enough to shift the bottleneck.

[edit deln.] How can you want to be part of something when you don’t even know what it’s like on the inside?

What happens when you are given a task you do NOT want to be part of? What happens when a task has moral gray area? What happens if you suddenly decide you really want to be part of something else?

[edit deln] if you’re hiring someone you want someone with valuable skills who is ready to be of service, ready to do whatever you ask, and will remain loyal so long as they are paid. You don’t want people to be nice, you want them to be predictable. That’s true value.
> Amorim found that after the lump sum payments, low- and middle-income parents made more education, clothing, recreation and electronic purchases for their children.

Is the only correlation here that when people are given money, some of it was spent on kids?

>fear mongering

You imply that fear is unjustified, unfortunately here in Romania we can see what happens when conspiracy and no restrictions get combined, do a search on your trusted media and compare real numbers (hopefully your trusted media has real numbers)
Totally agreed. Expanding a bit on some of the stuff you mentioned:

Vyvanse hits C_max around 3 to 3.5 hours. But you'll hit the maximum "acceleration" (as opposed to "velocity") around 1-2 hours like you said.

Fun fact: Vyvanse was basically designed to have more meth-like pharmacokinetics, since meth also takes about 3-3.5 hours to peak in the blood. Having done both lisdexamfetamine and d-methamphetamine orally, the C_max numbers in the literature are definitely correct because those numbers line up perfectly with when I subjectively peak.

> Adderall achieves a similar end (to a lesser degree) by combining equal ratios of four different amphetamine salts with various absorption rates to smooth out the serum concentration curve.

Yup, and I forget the exact mechanism but I have seen a paper arguing that the 75:25 ratio actually does improve the efficacy. Although I can't remember what the mechanism actually was...

> Dexedrine and Desoxyn I believe are both single salt compounds, and thus have a slightly higher risk of dependency due to their sharper peaks

Correct, both are 100% d-enantiomer, and both due have somewhat sharper peaks as a result. Although to elaborate AFAIK Vyvanse is really the only super unique one. Adderral does/should have a slightly smoother peak but largely the levoamphetamine seems to serve to up the norepinephrine-y effects (that is to say, the "I need to be doing something right now" effects, whereas dopamine is moreso the "once I start something I can keep doing it" effects).

Also methamphetamine in particular when taken orally is very vyvanse-like, as I mentioned above. So it's really exclusively with the fast RoAs like smoking or injecting it where you get the really crazy instant spike. (That last sentence is just from my general understanding, I've never taken meth in a non-oral RoA so I can't speak from experience)

You ever look into ketamine for treating depression?

There is a big contingent that believes UBI would only increase "laziness". How are you supposed to staff an incredibly shitty low paying job if people aren't literally starving? Offering more money or better working conditions is a nonstarter, they would rather just move the work offshore.
Isn't the unsigned version the correct one? Presumably the int version will hit the same problem as in the original article, in that the C spec says that ints are not treated as overflowing? (i.e. the compiler cannot assume that adding one will eventually turn negative and then later on reach 0)
You're correct. The article was imprecise with its terminology.

Most people who aren't familiar with trucking understand a tractor-trailer as a single vehicle, because that's what they usually see on the road.

When in reality it's exactly what the phrase describes: a tractor (or cab, or engine and steering and driver) + a trailer (or chassis + whatever it's hauling).

The entire idea of modern over-the-road trucking is built on the concept that one cab can pick up and haul any standard chassis (leaving aside hazmat and other complexities).

This is what allows for optimized freight movement, as you can limit the amount of time cabs are moving around without hauling anything, in addition to decoupling the load/unloading of a trailer (time consuming) from the driver turning around (want to minimize).

I.e. driver arrives at warehouse with container A on chassis B, parks it in a loading dock, and immediately hooks up to container T, already waiting on chassis U, and heads back out.

The bottleneck in this case was: (1) nowhere to legally put empty containers, causing (2) empty containers to stay on chassis, leading to (3) no available empty chassis to unload port cargo onto (containers must be loaded onto some sort of chassis to be removed from a port), leading to (4) a backup and full port yard, leading to (5) ports refusing to accept empties, to conserve their limited yard space, leading to GOTO 1.
This is articulated particularly nicely and captures what I have observed myself. Thanks for sharing.
I think people spend WAY too much effort worrying about the "small subset of people" who misuse a social system. To the point that their fixation on this small subset causes more waste than just being okay with the fact that some people will misuse a system.

When Covid began, the Ontario Government just handed out cash. You could go to a website and 5 minutes later be set up for a $400 direct deposit into your bank account. You didn't need to prove anything. You just gave them your bank information and personal information and how many kids you have. People got anxious about the hypothetical kind of person who could abuse this. The response was basically: if we try to carefully scrutinize every person, it's going to cost us more, and we're not going to get the money out fast enough. This is for parents who suddenly have to buy Chromebooks and other school supplies for their kids.

If you ask me, I think it all stems from a deep feeling all humans have, but that some cultures greatly amplify: the anxiety that someone isn't rowing while you are.
You can go to any port town in the US and you will see containers stacked up like tiny towns. The equipment to move the containers is usually the bottleneck not the yard space.
I see a lot of I think statements in your post, and no empirical data.

What specific issues are you suggesting result from giving cash over food stamps?

Are you familiar with the absolutely byzantine rules imposed by many states on food stamp recipients on what they can purchase?

It was recently discussed in an article here I believe. It goes down to specifying which specific types of cheddar cheese are permissible.

Just removing the mental burden of that alone would be an improvement.
It's pretty easy not to judge people for buying stuff with money that they have. It's called freedom, you know?

The root of the problem is with the judger, for thinking that money from the government is somehow less worthy than money from other sources (wages, inheritance, government-subsidized business wages, etc).
How about you fix the flaky tests? Am I insane for thinking that? The whole concept of "just reboot it" or "re run it again" and "fixing" the problem is at least one reason the modern world sits on a mountain of complete garbage software.
Awesome to hear you made the leap! I think KDE works wonderful on Pop_OS since Pop is mostly just a few gnome tweaks here and there on top of Ubuntu.

> people build web apps because the stack actually works well

Or because there is not an alternative. Building graphical software is difficult because you have to interact with graphics. But, what if we have a protocol where you simply open a network socket and write some messages on it that says "write this text hear", "draw a line from X to Y"? Well, that is how X clients work.

> Wayland generally sits at a lower level in the stack than network applications

That to me is not a good thing. One of the main advantages of Linux/UNIX systems in the past was that X was a userspace application, and if X crashed the entire computer didn't crash, like Windows does, you restart the X server and you don't loose your work. Of course modern desktop environment crash with X, and that is a bad thing (but an X client can, and should, if the X server crash, just try to reconnect with the new X instance and redraw its window, like you reconnect to any other socket, or worse case scenario the program continue to run just without the GUI!)
> higher-income households were also more likely to spend payouts on nondurables, which he speculates may be “lavish” spending, I find that expenses on recreation or lessons do not increase among parents across the socioeconomic spectrum and that only middle-income and, particularly, low-income families’ spending on education is responsive to payouts in the short term. This last result is aligned with a series of studies suggesting that lower-income parents may use cash transfers to “catch up” with their more affluent counterparts.

From the paper, linked in the article. Quite disingenuous to assume that low income families must be wasting money on substances, while the statistics always show that richer individuals obviously can afford and do spend more.
I assume a port would be designed to have a buffer of empties (or filled containers) ready to load.
I completely agree. It is just too soon to tell. Moreover, this stacking rule won't change the port; it will change things in the City of Long Beach.

I don't think it will make matters worse but I won't be surprised if it doesn't actually solve the problem. It just seems like a cheap+fast attempt at a solution which is good.

There's a lot of narrative that's going into this discussion, an heroic visionary CEO, a bumbling politician. In fact, the mayor made the change as soon as it was brought up.

Have you hired anyone? Asking because your comment make it sounds like there's science to it. I don't like the committee hiring as well but team or manager level hiring can segment the company culture. Also individuals can be biased and hire based on vibes or who is like them etc. - committee brings a check to that, that's why it's common.

The truth is - you'll miss some great candidates because they simply interview poorly and of the flip side sometimes get a professional interviewee that cannot deliver once hired.

You can also get a brilliant 10x candidate but a complete asshole (e.g CEO wanna be) that will destroy your team once hired.

A later reply from the Twitter account clarifies:

"We sign our messages off with our initals, we can assure you we were not laughing at the situation. ^BS"

Probably a dumb idea to sign your tweets like this. People in the public won't care which individual was behind which tweets and it creates these strange moments of confusion. For example "BS" could be taken by some readers to mean, well...

If they want to know which teammate sent which tweet they should have an internal system to track that. Not put their internal tracking into external facing tweets.

I spent a year at a TA at a University and in that time I had two students who were really stellar. They were outstanding programmers. They paid attention detail and wrote elegant but easy to read code that worked. I took the time to offer both of them my assistance if they needed any help after graduation.

I play video games with one of them. The other one got out of CS and changed her major to something art related.
Re: mini itx cases, I'm surprised no one is mentioning the meshlicious case[1] (linking to Newegg because ssupd's website seems to always be so slow). The nice thing about this case is that it comes with a pcie riser allowing for some pretty large GPUs to fit in it.

All Things Open is one of my favorites. But I'm biased - it's held near where I live, and I've attended and/or presented there numerous times. But beyond that, I like that the focus is on, well, "open" things - open source, open hardware, open web, open culture, and related topics.
If I recall correctly, both Australia and Morocco are already investing in hydrogen generation for export following pretty much this principle.
It's interesting that size() has to be constant-time. From what I understand of the standard linked from the blog post, it looks like size() being constant-time is a property of Container and not each individual method (§ 23.2.1, page 747).

What does this mean for implementations that want to have these properties but have internal structures that make this inherently difficult? Do they have to recompute a cached size value during other operations, and amortize the cost of size() on insert, for example?

I can see it being tricky in some situations: imagine a collection with expiring data, for example. You might want to prune the expired items in the background, but still have size() return the number of elements currently not expired. How would someone do this while maintaining an exact size() value when the background clean-up will inherently take some time?
it's a good question - I avoided it in my own response with the clever use of quotation marks.

But to answer, I think the term is used colloquially all of the time and of course is open to interpretation.

I would suggest it has nothing to do with a drug's pharmacology or chemical structure but rather the degree to which a drug when taken in easily-consumed quantities can shape our perceptions of the world, the likelihood of negative externalities due to consumer behavior and the probability of becoming addicted to the drug.

A mixture of those things makes a drug "hard" in conversational language e.g. something that dramatically changes a persons perceptions, frequently has negative externalities and can cause addiction with short-term sustained use is a "hard drug". Like alcohol.

When addicted to such a drug, the negative externalities typically expand in scope and severity and if the use scales to a significant portion of the population would generally be regarded as an undesirable state for society to be in.

Sorry for the confusing terminology. "Peripheral stimulation" means unwanted stimulation of the body itself, such as suppressed appetite, general jitteriness, and the like. Whereas the cerebral effects are the actual cognitive effects of improved attention/focus/alertness/scanning behavior, euphoria, and that kind of thing.

In general when taking amphetamines for ADHD-type symptoms, you want to maximize the cerebral stimulation while minimizing the peripheral stimulation, because the latter causes [most of] the unpleasant side effects like inability to eat/sleep. Note that some degree of peripheral stimulation is unavoidable regardless of whether one is taking pure d-methamphetamine or not, and also probably some amount of peripheral stimulation is desirable because ADHD is not just difficulty in maintaining focus/attention but also getting the kick in the ass to start tasks in the first place. But in my experience relying on the peripheral stimulation (which, for example, Adderall produces more of than Vyvanse) simply doesn't work long-term, and just makes appetite regulation and the like get totally out of whack.
+1. Greg Egan's novels Permutation City and Diaspora actually explore this very well.

I am not opposed to space exploration and generally support SpaceX but reading about doing 100,000 launches makes me slightly wary, especially with our track record on climate and Musk's general penchant for breaking laws. Unless we develop anti-gravity or something which would make space travel energy-equivalent to flight travel, I don't know how you would ever scale this without wrecking the environment. Reading between the lines, you get a sense that the average citizen should be "willing to take the hit for the greater good". Yeah, right. Musk has an immense amount of goodwill today and for good reason but I don't imagine this will play well with any crowd.

Even assuming that Musks's Marsshot comes through and a Mars colony is established in 50 years (which would be optimistic going by the current pace of development), what are the odds that I (or the average SWE on HN, let alone average human) would ever end up on Mars? I imagine a 70-80 year old is probably not very high on the (tentative)waitlist? It is looking more and more likely that Earth's climate and politics would necessarily have to take a backseat if we were to go all in on Mars. I see the wisdom in Kim Stanley Robinson's opinion that fixing Earth climate/politics should take priority.

I am in support of AGI research and biotech. Training even GPT-scale models is not really comparable to rocket launching. If it is possible to clone yourself to a digital form, or even train an NN model to think like yourself, there may be a way for the average denizen to get to Mars and extend one's life while keeping energy consumption low.

I must point out the US has $28 trillion in debt, or about $200k per American, or enough that if the wealth of every US billionaire were confiscated the debt would remain monolithic. This doesn't include State's 1.2 trillion in debts which are equally insurmountable.

Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security & Defense are the largest share of the spending contributing to this debt, but the proposals for more welfare spending continue unabated & our adversaries have reached or surpassed defense parity in either quality or quantity, or both.

At what point, if ever, do Americans acknowledge the horrific fiscal situation the Baby Boomer generation bequeathed to us and accept that painful & deep spending cuts must be made, instead of piling more spending atop expenditures this country cannot afford?

You can make a deeply compelling argument for welfare spending on an emotional or data-driven basis. The merits aren't the issue. The issue is affordability and prioritization at a time when US politico-economic-military stability and sustainability is at serious risk.
To me, fleshlights have a negative connotations because I think of creepy guys and incel types being the target audience. That's totally false of course! But unfortunately that's the stigma that seems to be attached to them. Though to be fair, we need to make a lot of progress de-stigmatizing all sex toys, not just fleshlights.
I wonder if that's because the numbers are general enough across many different tasks or if normalization just isn't as important as we assume?
