" Astronomers are very cost-conscious,"

Have you paid any attention to cost over-runs on TMT or Webb?

Can you give me an example if a larger $100M+ project done on a payment on delivery / fee for service model in astronomy in last decade? I'm seriously interested.

Not necessarily. People who don't work aren't necessarily living boring lives.
JRPGs? The Persona series is quite interesting, good story telling; Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2 are both very good; NieR Automata is a great action RPG set in a dystopic future; the old school Zeldas, the original Phantasy Star...

I admit, they're all an acquired taste in many ways but once you get into it and stop minding the complexity in some of them, they can suck you in and move you out of time.
Physical world may be a fractal of complexity, and nature doubly so, but one of the thing a human brain is good at - and arguably one of its most important function - is filtering all that out.

This is the reason I chose to write "experience density" and not "complexity" in my previous comment. A tree may be infinitely complex, and the first tree you see is profoundly interesting. But the tenth tree you see is just a tree. Soon after, you don't even notice them anymore, except in situations when you have a reason to care, or you see a tree that is very different from all the trees you usually see.

You're correct on the JPG size difference between indoor and outdoor shots. But just because something is too complex to compress well, doesn't mean it's interesting.
The nucleocapsid is inside the live virus - it's not accessible from the outside. So we don't currently know of a way to train the human immune system to bind to it to kill live virus particles. So while it's important to understand the role of the nucleocapsid in infectivity, it's not actionable for vaccine technology.

Conversely, there is currently no evidence that the spike can be "highly compromised" without reducing infectivity. The spike has to bind specifically to ACE2 in order to enter the cell. As long as that's true, vaccines can continue to target live virus using the ACE2 receptor binding domain in the spike protein.
This can be a good strategy until you have young kids. After then, they often hear you get up and then seek you out to get help making breakfast or want to sit on your lap.

But otherwise, it prioritises your side project while you're fresh in the morning and puts relaxing (movie/TV/etc) for when you're fading at the end of the day.
I remember reading articles that claimed that the China leak theory was racist against Asians and was dangerous because it would cause violence against asians.

It was so incredibly stupid

Exactly. When using something like React, the abstraction of using classes to create reusable components is redundant with the framework's, and thus no longer carries its weight. Especially considering how, in practice, that abstraction isn't that effective in the first place: it's rare that a layout change involves just a CSS change. (I'm somewhat rehashing from a blog post of mine [1] here - if anyone wants this more extensively argued they can read that.)

Why is this nonsense on HN?
I used to do this the "old fashioned" way:

* log the queries from the application

* parse the queries into an AST

* collate the ASTs to form the most common query patterns

* cross-reference existing indexes

* create index recommendations with and without predicates

that worked pretty well, up until you're trying to decide which index type is going to be best.

this is pretty darned neat in comparison. I do hope they open-source it like they did pg_query.
That's fine, 99% of the US has been built to accommodate exactly this style of living.

Where's the space for the people who want density and public transit though? The comment you're responding to is lamenting the fact that even SF, one of densest urban areas in the US, is mostly vast tracts of suburban housing overlaid with a slow, barely acceptable transit system. Surely we can do better than that.
You can buy the stock on the first day of trading. If you want to try and get an allocation of shares at IPO price, various brokerages have different processes where you apply. I use E*Trade mostly, but Robinhood does have the best IPO center of any brokerage I have seen.
That's a good point - I don't have kids and don't have any good advice on how to work around them. :)
It seems inevitable at this point that part of the solution is investing in carbon capture technology in the future to offset the damages we're causing today, the question is; are the damages reversible? Asking individuals to consume less is useless at best and hypocrite at worst.

Movies can be watched on phones. Does that mean theater screens are pointless?
Regulators are requiring financial technology to support existing laws and regulations. What’s strange is that it seems the author of this post never contemplated this would be the outcome of DeFI or crypto.

> If crypto and DeFi are truly that great for innovation now, isn't it kind of ironic that after nine months of work, I'm starting to realize that my project's challenges don't lie within technology but are made of legal uncertainty?
I'm not going to try to diagnose you, but in general, the outrage that people have that someone is saying the wrong thing online is exactly what I'm talking about.

The definition of "elite" is of course murky, but that does not mean that it's not real. There is a very real process of preference cascades among the discourse of those who hold power in society together with the professional classes that identify with them (even if they themselves do not hold much power). The ability to control the public discourse has collapsed as centralized media has been converted into decentralized social media, which has led to panic and calls to bring social media back to heel.

Part of this is the (correct) belief that Trump and other populist phenomena - for example Democratic Socialists and the rise of Bernie Sanders -- are made possible by people being able to communicate with each other directly, bypassing whatever Overton window the major media outlets try to set, and even forming their own tribal Overton windows with no regard to what respectable people at the Heritage Foundation or the New York Times or members of the Davos-set think about this. These outsiders can then win elections or at least threaten to win elections. That creates a moral panic about wrongthink, "misinformation", fact-checker discourse, and general terror that ordinary people are able to communicate freely, form their own opinions, and coordinate without the supervision of elite consensus.
That's cool, thanks for the tip. It's also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3YvkqDkpemZOvwSlLbq3c3?si=4e17...
> Remember also that these systems at GS, JPMorgan and BAML started around 2007-2010.

GS had „these systems“ well before 2000 (via J Aron). I think around the time you mentioned they spread to other firms (in their Python reincarnation).
Intel's Linux drivers for their integrated graphics chipsets are pretty good, at least compared to Nvidia's, so hopefully the same effort will be spent on Linux support for Arc. It would be nice to have another option than AMD on the table for Linux-compatible GPUs.

Haha correct, I was just explaining why inline styles aren't a suitable alternative to Tailwind. Tailwind can definitely do all that stuff!
I used 43" LG TV, VA panel. Great for work.
> Could you elaborate on that? I find this perspective very interesting.

In addition to what others have said, game development places a massive priority on optimization and performance.

You have to write code that updates game state and renders a scene in under 16 ms. CONSISTENTLY under 16 ms. Otherwise, you get stutters and choppiness as it fails to maintain 60 fps. If you want to please your top-end PC gamers with their 144 hz monitors, you need to render each frame in under 6.9 ms.

With a web app, you can make up for underperforming code by scaling horizontally. That's simply not an option for game development.
I lived through the entire HIV cycle (from first announcements in the press to the current situation).

There weren't really any credible origin stories for HIV for years after the discovery of the virus and the syndrome it causes (AIDS). Eventually (more than a decade later), a reasonably good origin narrative evolved, but not until there were plenty of now-discredited origin theories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discredited_HIV/AIDS_origins_t...
Thanks, glad I could assist!

(Haha, always trying to take back a few seconds/minutes in the day. I find blackholing links to a few websites that get linked often, but aren't often worth reading, helps with that. :) )
I think it varies depending on how much we dislike the current government.
“ Jim Salter
We typically consider Cinebench to be the gold standard for general-purpose CPU tests—and for the first time in years, Intel trounces AMD's best offerings here.”

What nonsense look at the graph this comment is referencing. The new i9 barely edges ahead of Ryzen and they use the term trounces.

Give me a break … price per performance still clearly in AMD’s favor.

Yeah. How'd that work out for Matrix? Here's a hint: find out when the project was started, and when the network first required end-to-end encryption. Warning: the answer to that entirely vindicates Signal's position on federation; you may not like it.

That doesn't make Matrix bad. It makes Matrix different. Matrix has different goals than Signal, and those goals simply prioritize security and privacy differently than Signal does.
My maths has it at approx 10,000 cubic inches of battery weighing in at 450kg, which rought and dirty is a 43 gallon tank (I may be way out) which is around 120kg of petrol.

Looks like standard is around 26 gallons (up to 36) so not miles away on volume, call it 1.5x. Wight and how you distribute it are going to be the real issue here at 3.75x the density.
You are missing the point. They are the de-facto standard in DevOps tooling from one person startups to gigantic public tech FAANG companies.

My prediction, HashiCorp after IPO'ing will get acquired.
So you are advocating for something you yourself compare to..jailing a woman for a miscarriage?

That's up for debate, and most people would disagree. Mining/staking revenue is taxed as income when received, not when you sell.
That's partly true. N of one, but I have Firefox set up the way I want it to, so I do all my development in Firefox and then occasionally test in Chrome. Essentially all my users use Chrome, so if I didn't prefer Firefox's ux it would get much less attention
Here's one possible issue though - I asked (in another sibling comment) if `ls` could be considered a filesystem API - I strongly believe it is. That means we probably (for sanity's sake) need to differentiate internal vs. external APIs and provide a method for safely allowing this public document method to be well defined.

If a spy is filling out an expense report via secure email after an undercover mission to Norway (trying to figure out if Norway is hording lutefisk, I assume) which ends up resulting in a bombshell report to the public about international lutefisk accessibility then that report is clearly public - but the spy's expense report (including, I'd assume, their identity) is something that should logically be kept secret. There's some press secretary in the middle that takes the raw information and turns it into the scandal we all know it would be.

The data being transmitted over an API is not intended to be directly consumed by the public - there is, instead, an application that exists to take that raw data and transform it into something that is publicly viewable. That application is the corollary for our press secretary here.

I am concerned this might be a bigger rabbit hole than you expect. I totally agree that the town shouldn't flip out and be stupid calling in legal authorities like it currently is - but I think this might be more complex.
I'm not sure if this is intended as a joke or not.

" Astronomers are very cost-conscious,"

Have you paid any attention to cost over-runs on TMT or Webb?

Can you give me an example if a larger $100M+ project done on a payment on delivery / fee for service model in astronomy in last decade? I'm seriously interested.

Look at the Origins Space Telescope Project:

https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/Journal-of-Astro...

The jokes start right away. Design with a fairing for the Space Launch System, which supposedly has a cost of $500M to launch (already estimates are off by 4x!).
It may have to do with resistant starches?
It's not property, except I want to be able to own it, buy it, and sell it for $CURRENCY...
Actually, what is the modularity concept in regexes? Is there a regex extension language where I can say "first match this then match that" but where I can name each part appropriately?
I love the idea of cataloguing (and presumably generating) a lot of attributes about a character, but in general I'm not anticipating leaning too heavily into the generator side of things, so much as general campaign and world management. It's still up to the DM to breathe life into the world.

That said, I definitely intend to add relationships (initially hierarchical, which will be reflected in the journal view). It seems like it would be valuable to support arbitrary user-defined relationships between entities, although syntax and interpretation start to get fuzzy the more user-provided terms you throw into the mix. If you tell me "nick is at war with rocky", does that define a relationship between Nick and Rocky or does it tell me that Nick is at a place called "War With Rocky"?
Show me completions of his finished works before asking me to believe a completion of an unfinished one.

Come to think of it, this would be an interesting dataset and challenge. Has it ever been attempted?
Not sure why, but I thought Tachyons CSS was kind of the first to take this approach, but Tailwind certainly caught on much faster event though they came on the scene over a year after Tachyons:

Tailwind has amassed 21.8k stars on GitHub and it is being used by 38,749 repositories and has over a 100 contributors, it also has 73,791 weekly downloads on NPM.

Tachyons has 9.7k stars on GitHub, has 64 contributors, and has 26,384 weekly downloads on NPM.
Inline css is very powerful, but tailwind gives you the vast majority of that power with a much smaller learning surface, and with the ability make sweeping style changes without having to update the css in every single component.
Just pointing out a bit of inadvertent ageism.

And I definitely wasn't implying they live boring lives. My spouse for example doesn't work, and in fact is quite busy with an impressive garden landscape. She doesn't always know what day it is, because it doesn't usually matter.
Does that include Spacemacs? It didn't take me a week to get up and running from switching from vim.
I agree. The web has been generally degrading for a long while now, in my opinion, and as time passes it gets harder and harder to find good content.
No. They were largely already enthusiastically engaging in illegality and criminality, it is why they signed up.
We were dirt poor, and I remember the day my father brought home the Magnavox Odyssey box. My brother and I learned all the state capitals, we had fun with the ski game, and the other overlays that came with it which fit perfect on our Magnavox TV! I remember trying to put plastic wrap on the screen and use markers to make our own games. Wow, I just had a wave of nostalgia that warmed me up a bit! Static held the overlays in place. The controllers reminded me of an Etch-A-Sketch, and so I was able to navigate the square due to the muscle memory. This was 1972. I was 8 years old.

My first computer came five years later. It was a Commodore PET 2001 followed by a Vic-20. I had saved up $832 from working odd jobs - shoe shine boy, fixing bicycles, newspaper route (in a bad neighborhood), and saving my allowance. I always thank my Dad to this day for buying the Odyssey when I know there were days we didn't have anything in the refrigerator before this time. My Mom and Dad also bought us two sets of encyclopedias on a payment plan. It was the renaissance of my family's way towards getting out of poverty. When our top floor Brooklyn apartment burned down, amazingly the outward facing bindings of the encyclopedias were pitch black, and the end books, but the whole set survived the fire which was in the center of the apartment. My brother and I used those encyclopedias all through high school, and into university. He was the first to graduate in my immediate family. Good memories.
I first learned how to program when I was 9, my dad bought me a copy of this programming language / ide called Dark Basic and he taught me how to do some basic control and loops and made a square bounce around the screen. My dreams of becoming a game developer were born!

I'm 29 now, still haven't made a game. I'm the Director of Engineering at my current job, which has me involved in tech a lot, but not doing actual coding anymore, so I'm feeling like now is the time to start working on something. I've been learning C lately and will hopefully be getting started on it soon.

Why does it seem high to you and what is it based on?
We're talking about a product that was marketed to a US audience, and their legal disclaimer that specifically referenced US states.
General point here is that the activation energy of a task gets lower the more bored you are. Even if the exact proportion of the population who'd write or draw is below 50% (which I don't think it is), the general point still stands.
Correct. The most obviously wrong exclusion is stock compensation. Imagine Uber issued and sold $1B of stock each year. Obviously we wouldn’t count that as $1B of profit, because it’s just a change in capital structure. Stock compensation is the same thing. The fact that the stock issuance is bundled together with employee compensation (where it substitutes for cash) instead of going directly to the corporate treasury doesn’t matter.
I may know less about the specifics of these things than you.

The reason I added this was to resolve in my head the inconsistency between my belief that what Curtis has to say is Useful, and my belief that Curtis is untrustworthy. I guess my compromise was "maybe he's not a scumbag, maybe it's just the style". The reason I mentioned postmodernism is, unreliable narrator is a postmodern thing right? I've seen it used in essays that I'd considered postmodern as a rhetorical technique (write half your essay from the POV you want to argue against, then half way through abandon it and attack the arguments you just made, sort of thing). So a video essay could be non-literal like that too...
Counting stock, easily. Most FAANG stocks are up 2x or more over the last 2 years; someone who got paid 50% in stock has seen their total comp increase by 50%.

I don't think salaries are up very much, but the implication of 10-20% inflation is that you want to hold and receive as little cash as possible, so if you're getting paid on salary you're already losing.
There's a lot here in common with the higher-prestige systems operated by major tech companies. Giant custom monorepos, sometimes with custom IDEs built into them. Big proprietary services for running asynchronous jobs and collecting logs and everything else. Data-driven frameworks for spinning up new services. Bespoke databases. All of it rings a bell.

The one thing in there that really jumped out at me as "oh my god never ever do that" was using pickle for serious persisted data. I can see the upside around letting people who aren't dedicated programmers avoid thinking about serialization but...daaamn. My understanding is that this locks you into a "the API is all the code" situation where you can never change the data layout of any class once you've written it?
YouTube was founded when most people had slow internet and they seemed to have done ok. I have fiber at my house and do about 920mb/s both up and down. It’s only a matter of time before that becomes almost universally common enough to rule out bandwidth from any consideration.

As a result I am writing a peer-to-peer application assuming universal fiber, 4K displays, and IPv6 are already common.
Just licensing from what I understand, historically if you patched the licensing limitations higher amounts of RAM always worked fine.

I think voting is a good analogy for telemetry. You submit your use case to help decide development direction.
Each item is 33px tall, which on my screen, and for the sake of easy math, is ~1cm.

If every year got 1 row, and we were on a linear instead of a logarithmic-ish timescale, the start of section 1 (4.1 billion years ago), would be about 41,000km tall, which is slightly bigger than the circumference of the eath.

13.813 billion years at this scale, at 138,130km, is just over a third of the way to the moon.
Except you'd be missing out on Tailwind's constraints, which prevent someone like me (with not as much of an eye for design) from accidentally sneaking in little inconsistencies that make a design seem off.

Nah, you have a 100% chance of getting the character you want after a set amount of currency spent.

I still agree it's predatory. But it's not true that you can play the machine many times and get nothing you want. The constellation mechanism really really sucks. But thanks to regulation it's a lot better now than it used to.
HashiCorp is like Docker Inc done right.
Why is it seemingly always a stylistic choice to make the information more obfuscatory than it needs to be? Why does this article name drop “Data Access Object” as some sort of esoteric secret when it’s a literal defined thing. Why write an article that requires foreknowledge or a search engine to understand? Or is this about Microsoft’s data objects? Or what? Lol.

Haha, really?
> The Metaverse matters because it will create meaningful human connection and unprecedented access to opportunity, no matter where you are.

The internet already does this, so that -- all by itself -- does not make the "metaverse" matter.
I think you have a good point, Rust might be too much for them (at least for now).
