About 8 years ago I was caught off guard by TSA running a checkpoint at the Amtrak station in Chicago. I don’t know whether that was a common occurrence at the time, and I haven’t ridden in years, but certainly in the moment I was not enthused by the potential encroachment.
GMOs are not interently bad, but the US crops are less nutritionally dense and have worst effects on health. They’re bred to be hardy and easy to transport, not for taste, nutrition or quality, mostly just volume and resistance to disease and pesticides.
Why can't you just do ML in Windows? All common Python packages are supported. WSL2 CUDA probably gonna come with some overhead.
It’s not a well-tuned GNOME theme, it’s a GNOME fork. System76 tried to contribute to GNOME for years but their patches didn’t get accepted so it’s understandable they don’t want to stay tied to it.
I second Wordpress. It is easy, default themes look nice. You can do anything with a bit of customization and even download hundreds of thousands of premade themes inexpensively.

Especially this if you want to brand it yourself with your own domain and care at all about SEO.

I personally use Laravel Forge which in addition to its main use case of Laravel server management, give me one-click Wordpress installs on my AWS EC2 servers. And then route53 for the domains.

You could also easily launch a Wordpress server with AWS Lightsail and you do not need a very powerful server unless you become really popular. And even then there are pretty good free caching plugins, some installed by default.
Most of them should offer tours and the like. One of the biggest things to pay attention to is teacher to student ratios. Most of my classes had 6 or so students in elementary school.

Education is another one. Private school teachers are usually very well qualified. I would ask what kind of professionals they have on site. I.e. there should be at least one person specifically versed in childhood development, preferably several. It's not uncommon for them to have dual degrees in childhood development, and teaching in some specific field.
Can you not buy anonymous tickets, for example at a counter in the station or from a machine?

There are still enough machines that take cash that this is a practical option in most of Europe. Buying a ticket in advance works, but requires a trip to the station.
That's different, we weren't talking about agreeing with everything or third party apps, this was about third party operating systems. The comparison would be like voting Party1 while hoping someone would legislate that they must behave like Party2, when you could have voted Party2 in the first place.

You like the OS and its integration, so it wouldn't be you buying it in the hope that you could replace the OS, right?
We have archaeological records of bread prior to written records (archaeologists found a 14k year old fragment of bread) but language itself likely developed long, long before writing.
Well this was an embarrasing read.
True, but the technology has improved a lot recently. Perhaps Linux on desktop needs to improve a lot too.
You're not thinking of the potential here. Just imagine a baby name generator that tracks its users preferences and automatically registers domains and social media accounts which it then tries to sell you.

...it sounds horrific, I'm glad OP went with this model.
That's probably more due to marketing for the Mac advertising "It just works", which attracts people with low technical aptitude.
That's why we use DigitalOcean a lot in Africa. You know upfront how much you will spend.
Disclosure: I used to work on Google Cloud.

This is why BigQuery offers both models and lets you control the caps [1].

Buying fixed compute is effectively buying a throughput cap. Hard Quotas provide a similar function, but aren't a useful budgeting tool if you can't set them yourself.

"Serverless" without limits is basically "infinite throughput, infinite budget" (though App Engine had quotas since day 1 and then budgets once charging was added). The default quotas give you some of that budget / throughput capping, but again if you can't lower them they might not help you.

Either way, BQ won't drop ingestion or storage though because almost nobody wants their data deleted. As a provider, implementing strict budgets is impossible without having a fairly complex policy "if over $X/second stop all activity, oh except let me still do admin work, like adding indexes? Over $Y/second delete everything". I think having user adjustable quotas and throughput caps per "dimension" makes more sense but it puts the burden on the user and no provider offers good enough user control over quota.

tl;dr: true budgets are hard to do, but every provider should strive to offer better quota/throughput controls.

If it were up to me: make sure it has the primitives required to write things in a "mostly functional" way if the programmer desires/when the problem fits the space. Not sure the whole list but maybe starting with nice syntax for lambdas and built in immutable collections? Maybe a macro system for introducing syntax? OK you caught me just make it a lisp with python syntax and types.
These are stunning quality graphics, for being embedded systems! I remember manually making binary alphabets to show some text on a little 32x128 OLED.
I'm a big fan of Discord in terms of the tools that it has and even the implementation in a lot of cases. I really like the fact that it marries text, voice, and video in a way that is fairly seamless. I say this putting all complaints about performance and occasional unreliability to the side.

Of course I would much prefer an open source and decentralized solution whenever possible. I'd really like to see Matrix/Element take off but at the moment it doesn't feel as polished.
Kinda?

Sorry being up for sale in a slave market isn’t enough—I think it is fascinating and important.
You claim most slaves in Roman times were not freed, do you know the history or are you just assuming with no evidence that's the case?
Yes I think so too. I don't see rail competing with that once the charging challenges have been solved.
I mean. It goes to 11!

You might wonder, why they don't just make 10 louder.

But it goes to 11!
I wonder how they came up with that 1750 BC figure of 400 hours of work for one hour of light. Any ideas? It sounds ridiculously high, so I assume I'm missing something. What are they even talking about? Olive oil or tallow lamps? Firewood? Something else?
Figure out what you're selling first.
How often did this happen vs Roman times? Before the dreadful US took over the South, slaves were much better treated and had way more upwards mobility, like in Florida when the Spanish and French were the colonizers. Places like New Orleans was much better for African descendants and many fled when they found out they’d be ruled by America.

I don’t cite Thomas Jefferson and his treatment of his slaves as the normative, in Roman times it was built into the system for slaves to buy their freedom and also have upwards mobility. That is not institutionalized for slavery in the US.
Rust prevents a few types of unsafety, mostly relating to memory and concurrency. There are many more on which Rust does not do particularly well though. Specifically, Rust allows arbitrary side effects from basically any part of the code. You can always write to stdout or a logfile, or open up new sockets, or delete files from the filesystem and there will be nothing in the type signature to even warn you about this.
HA/clustered/replicated DB setups are not rocket science. Backups are not rocket science. Losing an on-prem database irrevocably never happened for me in 20 years.

UI scaling is also a big one. I have a Dell XPS 15 in 2014/2015 with Windows 8.1 and the UI scaling wasn't great.
Palantir's biggest customers are government entities and market researchers, not advertisers. In a world where advertising has been significantly reduced, their products would become more valuable, since regular analytics would become inaccessible. Compared to the data these corporate aggregators collect, ad fingerprinting seems trivial.

The biggest crux of this, though, is the fact that both of these monetization schemes are destructive. Paying for software simply doesn't make sense in most cases, as there aren't that many people who are developing novel solutions these days. That's the exact reason why advertising is so popular: the market knows that relying on your conscious contribution is unsustainable, so why should you believe otherwise?
You can test backups, that doesn't require much expertise, only effort.
For example, after chickenpox the virus remain dormant for many years, and then you may get shingles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingles .

Anyway, the virus that produce chickenpox/shingles is so different of the virus that produce covid-19, that it's like looking at a elephant and trying to get some insight about the life of mosquitoes.
I think that's a mis-characterization of stoicism. That sounds more like Epicureanism (quit stressful things and live a simple life) or cynicism (quit everything and live like a stray dog so that you don't have to worry about losing anything).

Stoicism because popular with Roman elites specifically because it didn't ask the adherents to quit anything, but simply to adapt themselves to whatever adversity they might face[1].

Well, it was done in flutter so a web app might be something easy to do from that.
> A common example in this space is how to specify a baking recipe.

Is that because written language is sequential?

Is that an example given by expert bakers?

Is that because the baking recipe assumes a single baker rather than multiple bakers?

How much of a baking recipe requires sequence? How much can be done in parallel?

Why do expert programmers talking to expert programmers shift their reasoning to domains in which they may not be expert?

I think there's huge room for criticism. But my starting point would not "it should be 100x safer, 1/10th the price, 1/2 the time".

There have been some excellent links here on HN over the last year or two (at least) about difficulties in the USA in particular with civil engineering projects. I would defer to their much-more informed authors (and the often great comment threads here) regarding these matters. Clearly, things are "not right" with the time and cost of those projects in the USA relative to elsewhere in the world.

If we were discussing "world best" rather than US-specific, then I'm not so sure if there's the same need for criticism.
GPUs have existed since long before 2009. Sorry, but the guy who wrote Unreal Tournament of all people definitely did not make a basic mistake or generalization like you're insinuating.
I've been using Neomutt for some time now and I'm already contemplating ditching it. Fewer emails these days are purely text, viewing them brings me right back to the browser anyways. Never got into the Org-Mode hype for Doom Emacs. I do love Magit though, it remains the best git tool I've used to date, but the pain of wrestling with some of my lsp plugins (Looking at ESS) has made waste more time than anything.
Most of those people aren't aware that Unreal Blueprints and Unreal C++ do have GC.

They just see C++ and don't look into the details.

Besides that, given that most engines now have a scripting layer, even if deep down on the engine GC is forbidden, the layer above it, used by the game designers, will make use of it.

It is like fostering about C and C++ performance, while forgetting that 30 years ago, they weren't welcomed on game consoles, and on the 8/16 bit home micros for games.

My phone is more powerful than any Lisp Machine or Xerox PARC workstation, it can spare some GC cycles.
It sounds a bit more like they were confused by the automatic index creation for foreign keys they expected to be there. So they probably knew they'd need an index, just assumed this was implicit in the foreign key.
Fair point. In general my point is just that you need really extreme use cases to justify Fusion.
Most people's mental model of garbage collection is still just stop-the-world mark-and-sweep, which is extremely old. Game developers hate GC because of impossible to predict or the lack of ability to limit latency pauses eating into the frame budget - but there are tons of new, modern GC implementations that have no pauses, do collection and scanning incrementally on a seperate thread, have extremely low overhead for write barriers and only have to scan a minimal subset of changed objects to recompute liveness, etc. that are probably a great choice for a new programming language for a game engine. Game data models are famously highly interconnected and have non-trivial ownership, and games already use things like deferred freeing of objects (via area allocators) to avoid doing memory management on the hot path that it could do automatically for everything.
This is a good thing. They are preaching follow the science on vaccinations but until they abide by that philosophy themselves by making exceptions for natural immunity they are doing nothing but damaging there creditably that they may desperately need in the future.
Cigarettes actually are a net reduction in overall cost. They mostly kill people before they get old enough to have really expensive conditions.

It also significantly reduces costs in terms of social security.

Since performance is a goal, why not define an enum and use integer values? I don't know about speed, but the resulting diff would be smaller.

Also I wonder what "const t = true" is for.

Nobody can tell you based on one case whether it was related or not. That's the point. And that's why they have to report every death or serious injury within 30 days of vaccination. At least here, in the EU. No matter what. If you get hit by a bus, it should be reported and recorded. Exactly because there is no other way to find rare side effects.

> The official estimate by the CDC is that 1 in 40 vaccine injuries is reported.

I like the concept. Even though I wouldn't bother with flags, but trying to locate a country based on its name is a very good exercise for everybody.
That sounds like a good idea, but in practice it turns into an unmanageable disaster of petty removals and biased moderation.

r/science has something like 1500 moderators, most of which only have the power to remove comments. The rules are applied seemingly at random, and the problematic posts/titles are rarely actually fixed, they just have a sea of [removed] under them. This makes the biased posts even worse as the comments correcting them and the discussion about it disappears.
It's a trend like the "X did Y, that's bad because Z"

I see it as the author trying to force a point of view on you.

"Parents reverse-engineered a school app to create their own frontend to parent data and, after being hit with a $4M SEK fine for data privacy issues on the platform already, school officials escalated concerns over it to the police to investigate who eventually cleared the parents of wrongdoing and now the school is working to license the app from the parents so everyone can use it"

Is a much less catchy headline. It's also far more verbose. What parts of you choose to whittle out to create a succinct headline drives people's perceptions of the actual article.

"Parents built a school app that was so successful that the school is now licensing it!"

It's just as true, but, you start with a much different conclusion.
Visual languages can be quite functional, specially when they map into IC like modules.

Potatoes are not on the 'Auto Immune Protocol', which I haven't looked in to the rationale behind unfortunately and I am completely out of my field of expertise. They are categorized as nightshades, like tomatoes.

As you can see above, some lists claim potatoes are high in histamine. I think that new or green potatoes contain (glyco)alkaloids and that the 'eyes' are also not to be eaten. Sweet potato is said to be fine.
Cool, and if this was a case of bike shedding over something that hadn't just cost that early stage startup 5 grand I'd agree with you.

However regurgitating a platitude that everyone, including myself, learned when we tried getting our first business off the ground doesn't add much value here.

Had this been a Database with 10million rows it would have cost them 50k, and this is incredibly basic programming knowledge.

Basic proficiency is a far cry from worrying about best technical talent and not a particularly egregious ask.

I'm not OP, but feel similarly about Keybase.

When it originally launched, it marketed itself as directory where you could link your social accounts using cryptographic proofs, so that anyone who was wondering if "@lutoma" on twitter and "lutoma" on Hacker News are the same person could easily check. I.e. pretty much what Keyoxide now seems to aim to do. Simple enough and reasonably useful.

But then at some point they tacked on some sort of Dropbox-y encrypted file system that also kind of but not really includes web hosting if you set your files to public.

And if you visit their website now all their landing page talks about is their Slack clone with end to end encryption without mentioning any of the other stuff.

And I just checked out their docs and there's a section on wallets for the Stellar crypto currency so apparently they also baked that in recently.

idk it just seems like a company with absolutely zero direction that just builds whatever the product managers find interesting at any given time and I gave up trying to understand what it is they do.

But since they sold to Zoom, it seems to have been financially successful so fair play to them.
I think the strategy of Wolfram Research has shifted from trying to sell Wolfram Alpha as a standalone service, to selling the Wolfram Language with WA functions for retrieving standard datasets. A finance professional, for example, probably did not gain much information from asking WA "would it be better to invest $100 in GOOG or FB in 2013?", but the `FinancialData` function for pulling end-of-day stock prices enabled these people to do interesting analysis that they couldn't have done otherwise.

I hope the best for you and your family. Be strong.

Our son was diagnosed a brain cancer at 4. He's 8 now, and really fine given what he got through. At that time, our daughter was 2. Our other son was born 2 weeks after the diagnosis.

My wife was in maternity leave, and of course, in this situation, there was no way I could continue to work.

My parents took care of our daughter during the treatments of my son. She didn't understand the situation so it was very hard for her, as she felt abandoned by her parents.

My son got 3 "standard" chemos and 3 highly dosed chemos. During each of the later ones, he had to stay for 2 weeks (at least) in a sterile room until he got back a sufficient immunity. Our baby couldn't enter the sterile room, so we alternated with my wife. One stayed with our baby in another part in the hospital, while the other spent time with our kid.

My company was really supporting to me. My colleagues decided to offer me paid days off. This is something you can legally do in France: give some of your vacation days to colleagues. All my colleagues gave me one day each, and this allowed me to be with my kid until I could go back to work. Depending on the relationship you have with your colleagues, maybe something like this could be worked out?
For the record, I got another paid month, thanks to the health insurance.

Friends also helped by preparing us some meals, and they also gathered some money so we could have a nice WE in family when we got out of this situation.
It makes sense. Building and maintaining that layer of blubber must take a lot of eating for a large animal, and most large whales have their feeding grounds in fairly cold waters.

And of course, building and maintaining a body of 10 or more metric tons requires a lot of food to begin with.

Seriously. Like, every junior dev has to learn DB indexing basics sometime, and apparently the other of this blog post just did. But really can’t understand why this article is getting voted to the top of HN.
Some details, which are in my view not unimportant:

- The tobacco use is not only affecting the person "choosing the lifetime of pleasure", but their surroundings too, thanks to second hand smoke.

- Nicotine is highly addictive:

"The majority of smokers would like to stop smoking, and each year about half try to quit permanently. Yet, only about 6 percent of smokers are able to quit in a given year" [1]

For me, that makes it highly questionable, if that is a voluntary choice. I know enough people, which have chosen to indulge in that particular pleasure, and after decades of abstinence still have to put a conscious effort into not relapsing (in certain situations).

I'm not ignoring or dismissing the problem. I just think it's not a priority right now. I also completely support ideas that make cryptocurrency mining more sustainable. In this thread I had an amazing discussion about using the waste heat generated by miners for useful purposes. We definitely need more of that.

I don't like these posts claiming cryptocurrency is literally destroying the world and must be banned or regulated out of existence. Those need a reality check, and the reality is cryptocurrency is not even 1% of world energy consumption.
This is correct. In this query, the '*' is being disregarded. Then, I assume, more people on the internet discuss 48 and 6 in the context of long division than in the context of multiplication.

It's terrible but not all of that is because of smoking. Smokers are often also drinkers, drug users, bad eaters, and just generally unhealthy people.
