In this case, `which` is just searching the `PATH` and not telling you what will actually run. `command` is correctly informing you of the whole story. I'll add that `which` on my setup is using the zsh built-in, which also informs of aliases and built-ins.

So yes, that's more useful if you're using `which` to determine "Does this name exist as an executable anywhere in the PATH", but most people use it to mean "What will actually be executed if I run this word as a command?"

edit: Or, most often in scripts, it's used just for its exit status to tell whether the command exists to be executed at all.

There is definitely a top-down cultural push to encourage regular people to stop owning things.

We were told we'll own nothing and we'll be happy about it.

I can't help but suspect that there is too much evolutionary programming to own resources for that to be a reality.
This is a good thing for everyone who just wants to work in peace, and not contract diseases while doing it.

You can't split CJK sentences into individual letters, inspect them one by one and decipher its exact meaning. If you present Chinese writing to a Japanese speaker, they'd only see complete gibberish consisting of letters they may or may not recognize. It also works the other way around too.

On top of that, Kanjis aren't the only type of letters Japanese folks use. They also use Hiraganas and Katakanas, which are phonetic symbols and totally unrecognizable to non-Japanese speakers.
If you are using dnssec this should be impossible, right?
> Hacker News has software to detect vote manipulation (ie. asking friends to upvote)

Putting on my conspiracy robe, I imagine it's not just about 'friends upvoting friends', but the relative ease at which new accounts are created (No SMS one-time-tokens, not even email required to register etc); and then using those accounts to artificially inflate certain stories.

If there are accounts being created for the purposes of artificially inflating stories, and their 'score value' then I would hope it's about interesting content, and not some politically tainted fluff piece used to persuade and misinform/dis-inform.

Largely HN seems to work in favor of interesting content, and I agree with this article when it says: "If you get past the voting ring detector, you won’t get past the readers."

I mean, if you somehow developed a voting ring, you would have to jump even more hoops to get that article/link the respect it deserves. And the HN audience are very articulate in pointing out flaws in services/articles/sites in general.
>It took explicit government action and massive propaganda to get us into the fuckery we are in today. It did not happen because of climate change or "unfettered capitalism".

False, a government could have stopped international travel and fix the problem at it's root, but capitalists wanted to travel aroudn the world and now you pay more. Same shit with anarchist that protested like retards (at least in my country) that they don't want to use masks and today they are waiting 3 hours for a vaccine because the giant number of deaths in their family finally opened their minds.

So you are fucking wrong, greed and anarchy caused lot of death and financial lose, but I am 100% sure your scenario where everyone traveled without masks around the world and in public places is much better feel free to ignore reality too.
7-8x speedup is not really that much when parallelized GPU algorithms can usually get 100x speedup or more. I would suggest to look at benchmarks compared to GPU based solutions such as piet-gpu, or even a parallelized 2d renderer like Blend2D, and see how that compares. IIRC the way you really want to do it is to build up the entire frame as a command buffer as you would in Vulkan and then submit that.

The recent developments here are actually because advancements showing that drawing didn't need to be serialized. The whole point of a GPU is to avoid that. I really don't know what to tell you, this is a complex problem, it's not solvable with simple solutions. The practice of the X server implementing the simplest possible solution has only really resulted in the complexity being moved into other projects, hence the existence of Wayland...
$4500 is $2000 less than the equivalent-ish Sony A1, not bad! Love to see it.

Notably this camera appears to be fricking huge, a brick house of a camera. The A1 just looks like yet another Sony A series, like a slightly large-ish film camera.

I'm also curious about the electronic shutter. Sony's flagship camera the a9 (2017) was a pioneer of being mechanical-shutter-free. But the A9 II (2020) added it back but is by default off. Given that this camera is for high-motion sports use, among other things, it's cool that an electronic shutter / fast read out is supposedly good enough for the high speeds needed. Still, I'm very curious what circumstances lead to Sony re-adding the mechanical shutter.
What makes you say that?

I'm not 100% sold on it yet, but my city has always been "welcoming" to homeless folks and it has never been a huge problem. Now it looks like an actual zombie apocalypse out there in some parts, and there are periodically meth busts of hundreds of pounds in just random apartments, not even kingpin types.

Combined with the anecdotal evidence from social workers, there's a whole lot of smoke out there that the "new meth" theory might explain.
>Don’t want your sex toys connecting to the internet? Don’t buy the one with a wifi connection.

I'm not certain that the problem is that they connect to the Internet, I think the problem is that bad actors are fucking with improperly secured internet-connected devices. I'm not an expert or anything but I think it's probably possible to make a wifi-connected sex toy, hell, a wifi connected anything, without turning it into a standard IoT-future-botnet-participant. Kinda strikes me like saying "don't want to have someone take over your car through the satellite radio? Buy a pre-1990 ICE car!" or "don't want to be spied on by your smartphone? Don't carry a smartphone!" or even "don't want to get shot? Don't leave the house!". While these are all entirely practicable solutions that indeed solve the problem, they blame the individual for a predatory situation. Wouldn't it be nicer to try to improve the situation, rather than blame the insufficiently techy victim? Pretty much everybody is driving a modern car, using a smartphone, and lacking a bulletproof vest. Are they all to blame?

>“Despite the risks, many continue to use networked sex toys because they feel, correctly or not, that these devices—like social media platforms—give them more than they take.”

This line seems included to help the reader blame the ig'nant sex-toy user -- don't they know that everybody's lying about the safety of everything?!
Wait, what? You want to compare the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians during wartime to a story about temporarily allowing containers to be stacked a little higher?

He is however smart and smart is good. Time will tell whether his suggestion was a major factor or just a good idea.

If the limit had always been 6 instead of 2, wouldn't we have (1) smaller truck yards, and (2) the same problem with no easy solution?
You don't start by choosing an architecture. You start by understanding the problem and the pieces in the solution space. You then figure out how those pieces can work together to solve the problem. After that you can see the system as nested subsystems and interactions, which you can draw as diagrams and call it an architecture.

So I see "architecture" more as a teaching and communication technique, applied after the fact. Altho since we're always moving between the details and the big picture, having organized abstractions (ie an architecture) in mind will help keep the design clean.

The architecture evolves and sharpens as a system comes together. And this evolving architecture provides the team with a common terminology and overall direction.

But you rarely start by choosing a specific architecture. Unless you already know a lot about your solution.

Yeah, I really think it depends on more factors than how much money they make. There's so many socioeconomic variables that influence behaviors. But, I do think it could be valuable to try certain models out to learn more about what affects spending.
" “Music is really some kind of a magic,” says Tchernichovski. “It has no meaning. And yet, we like it, and we engage in it, and it gives meaning to our lives.” "

I think of that "magic" in music as more of a "protolanguage". It's implicitly spoken, non-symbolic and because we experience very similar realities, it's relatively universal.

Outside from noise the natural sound patterns that surround us are governed by rules (ex: Dynamics of physical interactions[0], linguistic structure[1], and behavioral rules).
If instead of sampling the sounds themselves, you sample the rules that generate the patterns, and you highlight the causality relationships.

Perhaps, if in addition to this you associated linguistic and behavioral dynamics to the internal (emotional) states of agents, you'd be able to explain (and make use of)the universality and suggestiveness of a good chunk of musical patterns.

This is what I did for my TV, as well. Unfortunately, they'll eventually do something about it - they'll make pop-ups that appear continually until you sign in, or straight-up disable critical features. Just like jailbreaking, this is just a hack that happens to work for the time being - the only long-term solution is to vote with your wallet, lobby for regulation, or (ideally) both.
This kind of cross-cutting issue is very challenging for even the best run organizations to deal with. Local government is not equipped to randomly start calling in experts and directing large scale projects because we, collectively, have chosen not to fund and structure our government in a way that allows them to do so.

Also consider for a minute how blindingly obvious it is, in retrospect, to know that containers can -- and should -- be stacked 3+ high vs. how hard it is to walk into a field of 2-stacks and know that they're being stacked inefficiently. Part of the challenge is informational: those that see the problem see it so obviously that they assume that there's a reason why the problem can't be fixed. Those that can't see the problem don't even realize there is a problem!
However, they aren't stored in an optimal packing, because that would ruin the stamps. They're stored in binders, increasing their weight and volume more than tenfold.
I really resent the "speechification" of everything in modern constitutional jurisprudence. Our rights to free political and personal speech are undermined when lumped together with campaign finance contributions, or an algorithm for video recommendations.

We don’t think enough about decommissioning settlements. Whether coastal towns threatened by rising tides, or desertifying inland villages, there are many places that used to be habitable and will soon not be.

This is nothing new, in the long history of Homo Sapiens. We have abandoned homes before, as conditions changed. See Doggerland for an example of an inhabited area that is now completely underwater.

But we now seem to be living in an age of extreme entrenchment and calcification of things like borders, citizenship, land ownership, and of course the sturdy permanence of modern houses (which are usually a 100+ year investment in a location, unlike more primitive structures).

I welcome experiments into how to unblock, destigmatize and finance (a) the movement of people and, and (b) the end-of-life phase of cities, towns and villages.

We should of course also try to slow and reverse climate change, but let’s be realistic about the level of warming we are already locked into, and the need for humane migration solutions.
You should look up the word bureaucrat. It was used correctly in the article.
1. LB residents don't want that, and limit of 2 has worked until now. Height restrictions are nearly universal in the US and this is not a California/Long Beach specific problem. Sure you can argue there the balance is too lopsided and limit of 2 is too restrictive for industry. I tend to believe a port town is an industrial town. If you live there, you should expect to see the industrial side. I grew up in Houston and would never live near the port/oil refinery areas because of that eyesore (completely subjective personal opinion). Unless maybe my profession was tied to it, at which point it probably doesn't bother me.

2. What if it was stacked up to LIMIT and a wave of containers come again? The point is to reserve a buffer. I'm rather agnostic on the numbers use variables if you like; Normal limit X, buffer size Y, X+Y is what you can get a temporary permit for, Z is technical limit and this math is a test X+Y <= Z

The reason Meth use is going up is not due to Meth itself. It counter balances the effects of Fentanyl. I regularly go to Fentanyl overdoses where the bystanders tell me they ran out of "G" or "Glass" and simply overdid it with the "M30's"... Its a fucking nightmare.

It used to be "meth" users would say..."At least I am not a dope junky using H." Heroin users would say... "At least I am not a tweaker." Now they are one in the same when I see them, which is generally cyanotic, apneic, and have been down for a while. We don't have enough Narcan to counter a bad batch of "M30" pills. Talk to your kids and tell them not to use any pills, not even once.

An interesting idea, but children from poor families already statistically
do worse in school. They are less likely to have a stable home environment, access to good learning resources, parents with higher education, among other things. So this system would reward families who are already doing fine. Not to mention it sounds a bit like child labor...
AI in 2041
Have always had the off-grid van dream, but as the father of a 6yo I’ve come to accept what you have said as my reality, having experienced the results on myself and my family after much trial and error over the last few years, including building out a shipping container on 5 acres, living in hotels full time, buying a van, and attempting to settle down in many different urban communities. I finally find myself now settling down in a suburban family-focused community, for my son to start 1st grade. And after a couple months already, I wouldn’t say the amount of happiness is what’s changed, but the total amount of stress. It is extremely freeing in its own right, just like falling asleep in a van in the desert is. I still haven’t given up, I love setting off to explore the unknown, but life has a funny way of giving you exactly what you want while not giving you anything you may have expected to begin with.
Specific law applies to journalists, under the US First Amendment which guarantees freedom of the press. The rules established by the US Supreme Court in NY Times v Sullivan (1964) apply different standards based on whether the subject is a public figure. For example, you can print outright lies about President Biden. You must be very careful regarding a non-public private citizen (not a celebrity, or example).

Yes, I know. I was in a hurry and didn't come up with something better. I'm just pointing out that emotional injuries are well-established. There are plenty more, such as emotional distress in damages.

I think that is, in part, because the legal system hasn't caught up with reality.

This, so, much. Working from home with a young kid around, it always feels like something's gonna fall, the cat is gonna fight back, mom is gonna get mad at him for some reason, or simply he needs me to go play with him. I never know if I have 5 minutes or 3 hours.

Nowadays I tend to not work so much during the day as I don't have the means to focus, then work into the night.

Why is it best to give Codeacademy the benefit of the doubt? They likely hire by committee, like any tech company. In that scenario it's entirely dependent on who the committee is. It's not like Codeacademy, or any company for that matter, has some idempotent interviewing process. If you changed the interview panels, or some of the questions, the candidate may likely have received an offer.

It seems to me that you have cause and effect backwards. I think the most likely chain of events is something like this:

Member gets sick

Member gets rejected from the group (because for each individual in the group, it's better to avoid the sick member - no group selection necessary)

Member dies

So the member doesn't get sick because they're rejected - they get rejected because they are sick. This would have obvious benefits for each individual that rejects the sick member, regardless of the behavior of the rest of the group (https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.2307/...)

In terms of collecting, stamps are nonfungible. They are individually graded for the centering of the image, the condition of the perforations, the condition of the gum, and sometimes the novelty of the cancellation (if it's used). The price of a stamp is based both on the rarity of the stamp in general and on the grading of the particular stamp. When you buy a stamp, you're buying the exact pictured stamp[0], not a fungible equivalent.

[0] Usually. Sometimes people will buy "spacefillers" where they don't care about the quality, they just want something cheap to put in the spot in their collection. These are often unpictured and you get whatever the dealer sends you. These could be considered fungible.
Is this why I have my best thoughts in the shower?
Similar thing happened to me. I had to take a C++ course (with C++ 2008 on Windows) and hated the way it was taught. I conflated that with hating programming. After I finished my engineering degree, I got frustrated with repetitive tedious manual processes, so I started automating them. As my skill grew, I realized I liked programming more than I liked being a mechanical engineer. Now I write code full time, but I'd be way farther ahead if I'd just got the CS degree to start with.
Agreed; I was just hurrying to provide a well-established example of injuries in the law that involve emotions.
Google May Cut Me Off on November 1 – Walter Lewin
I disagree. It's a silly, misleading and inconvenient way to value things. Just because you can sell 5% of Y for X, it absolutely doesn't mean that Y is worth 20X. Doubly so when Y is in extremely limited supply. One could raise an objection: but hey, stocks are valued at X on the exchange, so what gives? And yes, they are, but anyone with a shred of sense knows that if you actually tried to buy or sell a significant portion of the company in question, the price you are going to get will be very-very different from what is being quoted, thus the actual true value of the company is likely to be considerably different.

Most actual professionals laugh at this kind of valuation, which is what makes the whole affair funny since a large portion of the industry is nevertheless happily using it.

I suppose one doesn't have to go too far for the reason: it benefits a large portion of the industry to value things this way, because they are implicitly inflating the value of their own investments.

Honestly, if I were to interview a quant and they claimed with a straight face that this is a sensible thing to do, I'd immediately thank them for their time and bid them farewell. It's that ridiculous.

Finally, I don't consider internal systems at banks to be some sort of benchmark for valuation. Most systems at banks are utter garbage. There are a few exceptions (option/exotics desks), but the rest is basically ran out of excel sheets.
