VS holds .NET back, IMO. VScode (proprietary version) is less powerful (especially on the refactoring side), but does have a bunch of nice features.

Rider is the perfect replacement, though. Comes with all the features of ReSharper (this is a big deal for many .NET workflows, VS may have integrated many of its features, but not all of them) and extensions and themes you can actually use (IME with VS of the 50% that promise to do what I want 90% are broken).

JetBrains just know what they’re doing. They’re clearly prioritizing quality (something the VS team seems to be actively working against).

Oh, and it’s damn near 100% compatible with VS projects (one thing I missed about 2 years ago were live updates of WPF XAML, everything else just worked).
> The interesting thing will be if production capacity for wind turbines and solar panels will grow quickly enough to make this investment unnecessary. One order of magnitude increase in production capacity would do the trick.

This assumes massive advances in battery tech to support seasonal and week-to-week weather changes. Even the new iron-air tech is still very expensive - $300 million for enough capacity to power 50,000 homes for just one day.[0] By my rough calculations that's 28 trillion dollars to buy enough batteries for all homes in China, assuming 600 million homes, and 7 days of capacity.

But that's quite optimistic, because it's not that hard to get more than a week of unfavourable weather, and you don't want your country to shut down every time that happens.

Some would say the real estate brokerage market isn't that competitve. The national realtors association keeps prices artificially high, there is room for ibuyers or market makers to offer a better service, and charge less than 6%
I'm slender and not very tall. I rarely have an issue.
Yes and no. Reddit is nothing what it once was. I do wholly recognize that reddit has typically had a younger audience. But it was not as "we need a socialist revolution, hyper-progressive moderatism, 1 letter top comment"-y as it used to be.

On a post about a guy who ran a company and sued himself, I couldn't find the TL;DR until like 15 comments in. All the preceding comments were like "genius!" or "It's perfectly legal so he's smart!"

It feels like Reddit is actively hostile toward actual contributors. They just want eyeballs and clicks. They could care less about the rest. It's just as bad as facebook nowadays.
TrueType: The Digital Font Technology, Lecture by Eliyezer Kohen (1994)
Yeah, so, I ended up believing that my academic research was completely useless, but tried to continue with the PhD anyway. Not only was it demoralizing, but my anxiety and ADHD just came pouring out and I hated even thinking about my research. It grew worse and worse. Eventually, my advisor left, I had no funding, and I withdrew with nothing to show for the past 3.5 years except student loans.

Fun times.

(What was the research? Basically taking Heckman's 70s-era selection correction and applying it to nonlinear models. Big fuckin' whoop. My advisor had already written multiple useless papers riffing on the idea anyway. He's probably still doing it to this day.)
...and that's from generating 20% of the US's energy the whole time.
Not really: nuclear only impacts electricity production, which only covers 25% of greenhouse emissions in the US [1]. So even if that went to zero, it would be a huge help, but there's still 3/4 more to improve on.

Indexes are generally a mapping from the key to a row location (or sometimes to the primary key of the row). You can compress the index itself, but it's usually accessed randomly, so it might be detrimental.

Depending on the database, you might have compressed pages (sets of consecutive rows), rows, or columns in a row. Postgres does the latter (it's called TOAST) where the large columns are compressed and/or stored in a hidden table. So you first search the index for the key, figure out where your row is, read the row from the table, then, if needed, you read the columns you need from the TOAST table and uncompress them.
yeah where I live in AZ, Zillow overpaid massively for every home it purchased that I've seen. Like 15-20% over usual price.

And they've priced the homes they are selling quite a bit below what they bought them for already. Many aren't moving too.

I'm not too sure why they just don't hold onto the homes though. Even with the carrying costs, holding on would be profitable if market is to rise another 10%+ as some are predicting. The only reasonable explanation to me is that they are expecting a significant drop in 2022-2023, but maybe I'm wrong.
Or.. that 15 semis is a pilot run not production.
If we're going to generalize this old saying, let me point out that naming is just a specific instance of resource management, name space management.

So I guess from this perspective, there's really only one hard problem in computer science: resource management and off-by-one errors.
A label would help. It transfers the responsibility to the consumer.

Kind of curious that Microsoft had a feature that was available in Linux but not Windows, no?
Also for some of the algorithms, AFAIK you may need some configuration changes to the ssh client which you are using to connect. Both client and server need to use the same algorithm.
Wow. That's just... not true. Not even a little. The authors have totally incorrect and limited understanding of the state of static analysis.

And property taxes. And security. I do not know who ran the numbers on this program, but anyone with even a little bit of real estate experience was wondering what the hell they were doing. Blackstone has been around and killing it in real estate for 20+ years, and you would figure something obvious like what Zillow was planning to do would be on their radar if it made sense.
Basically just that 95% of butterflies are drawn in unnatural stretched out death poses used by collectors to take better pictures for books. But that has become the reference material so they are drawn in poses that they can't do in life.
The solar panels seem like a gimmick. Way less power than a rooftop installation. It might make some sense for an occasional car user like me. Most of the time my Bolt sits in the driveway, charged, waiting to be used.

But for a commuter or daily user, it seems silly. You'll be unplugged away from the house most of the day and grid-charging overnight. Maybe you get a bit of extra power in the battery from the panels, but I'd rather have a cheaper vehicle that didn't have them.

There's some other weird stuff in their Wikipedia entry, like a moss (!) based air filtration system.

It also seems bold to have a public offering when they've never even shipped a vehicle to a customer.

Is this a real thing? What's the story here?
I wonder which mapping platform will start to improve routing for the e-bike user. I find that currently using an e-bike I don't get a very accurate ETA since the routes are calculated for regular bicycles (at least on Google Maps!). Also with an e-bike hills are no longer as large an issue as they would be to regular bikes so route decisions could be less roundabout.
A few comments a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29111631
I was in Munich for five years and biked heavily. The bike infrastructure there far surpassed any major US city, protected bike lanes and off street bike paths within the city were common.

That said, bike lanes were still an obvious second class citizen compared to car lanes in terms of ubiquity and quality, so there's still plenty of room for improvement.
Afaik, in English friend was always anyone you was at good terms with. "This is my friend, John" never implied super close relationship. It could be a guy from high school you haven't seen 7 years.

The other thing is that people organize tool borrowing and mutual help on social media now. Even close knit groups who helps each other a lot do it there. When you leave social media, you also left group. Just like in old times not showing up anymore in that common tavern meant leaving the group.
This article is really funny. (Mark Levine's take on it is pretty funny too).

Apparently if you demonstrate you are willing to track people down and brutally assassinate them if they cross you is a really strong disincentive for criminal gangs to cross you.

This suggests to me that Erik Prince has an excellent opportunity to create a really solid anti- ransomware/exploiting type of company that only needs to hire enough of a Blue team to track down the origin of a client's attacker. :-)

That this is the level of evaluation on the part of these groups makes me sad.
Wait, wait… .Net can build “static linked” executables that doesn’t require that I install .Net to run? I had no idea, I guess it’s time to revisit .Net
I just built one with recycled laptop batteries... super fun to ride. It was a shit ton of work to do the batteries right, but I learned so much. Endless-Sphere is where my build thread is...

My bike is 2004 Specialized mountain bike. Bought the motor from ebay and just bolted it on. The battery lives in a home sewn bag I made which I velcro strapped to the frame. I have gone about 35mph on it. Do not recommend super high speeds unless you are a capable bike rider.

It looks like a mad max experiment. I just wanted to ride the thing and wire management is def an afterthought. I do not ride anywhere I can't take it inside with me even though I only have about $500 into it. Too much work to risk theft.

So much fun to ride. Peeling out in dirt is thrilling on bicycle.
Then the pagerank is broken. Millions of daily clicks on their links, two seconds, then back to search results,... this should really bring their pagerank down, because it implies users don't want to stay on that page for more than a few seconds and prefer other results.
The main issue was that it was seen as Google pushing a language that people would have to support forever that wasn't really that much better than JavaScript.

That argument turned out to be more or less nonsense - if supporting language features forever is really an issue why have so many features been added to JavaScript?

But even so I think it was probably a good thing it didn't become a web standard because Dart has become way way better than it ever could have been had it been standardised.

Modern Dart is great. The problem now is that so is modern Typescript. Especially if you use it via Deno - in a lot of ways it is better than Dart.

I really like Dart and I wish it was more popular but I think it's too late for it to have any hope of beating Typescript.
I love mine, I think it opens up some opportunities to work on relations with cars and pedestrians. I feel less in the way when I can maintain a better speed up hill. and on trails it's not a burden to slow down when passing pedestrians on foot. Nothing is worse than a bike whizzing by when you don't expect it. I just wish they'd remove those stupid speed limiters.

Zillow only bought houses in certain markets (24 different metropolitan areas [1]). So their impact on prices within those regions would've been bigger than what you'd expect by comparing them to all home sales in the US. I admit that I have no idea how much bigger, though.

How Elon Musk Moves Markets
I wonder how route profitability comes into play with those airlines running older planes (old 737's, etc) that may break more frequently.

AOG (airplane on ground) is essentially a broken plane stuck at a gate getting fined massively by the airport because it is blocking a gate. In this situation, usually price elasticity of demand goes out the window with respect to airplane parts because what you'll pay in markup pales in comparison to what you'll pay in fines.

Is it more profitable to get new planes or run older ones into the ground? The answer to this question is beyond my depth.

Source: my first job out of school was SQL jockey for an airplane parts distributor running reports for the guys trying to predict which parts would be needed. The company had 4 guys and two vans on standby 24/7 to run parts to the airport. This was a very profitable business segment.
I don't think it would take that long, if there were the right policies. Especially if ebikes letting you go 20 mph were the norm, most suburbs aren't so low density that you couldn't have, say, bakeries or small grocery stores within biking distance. That would often require zoning changes, in addition to adding bike paths, but it wouldn't take a whole generation to get done.
Steve Jobs was into typography. Embracing Helvetica for the Macintosh was not an accident in the early eighties.

Maybe it just isn't for you.

The full line is: "Those chips are really impressive. However, MacBooks ship with macOS, an operating system several of us consider much less impressive." That perfectly explains my personal feelings about the issue, which is why I was curious enough to click on this in the first place. If you don't feel the same way, that's a perfectly normal difference of opinion. I do feel this way and I think maybe if I get an M1 MacBook I'll use this post as a guide for how to install a usable OS on it ;)

As for:

> Its not 1998 anymore. The idea of building your own disk image to install an OS for general usage is a bit b0rked.

Installing Arch Linux on an M1 MacBook seems pretty far from "installing an OS for general usage". Arch in general isn't "an OS for general usage". Some people are hobbyists who are willing to do things the hard way. It's fine if you're not one of them. Oftentimes, I'm not one of them, either.
Another point here is that python is still commonly a python 2.7 on a lot of deployed systems. It's going to be years before it's safe to assume that python is anything else...

(Ubuntu LTSs and macOs are an example ...)
Yup, the only two companies I can trust with game quality are Sega and Valve, all the rest either have toxic communities or had major fuckups with quality, performance or plots, and I don't trust them with $4.99 at all.
Good point. Most bike map systems (even the dedicated ones, such as the Bosch Nyon) absolutely suck at the basics, taking the shortest route, keeping up with changes and so on. UI usually also is way below what's acceptable. Even a decade old TomTom does a better job.
Uranium stocks have been soaring since 2020, some have 10x gains already. Check UUUU, DNN or if you want ETF then maybe URNM.
So you're saying this wouldn't have helped because only the industrialized countries would be using nuclear and that would still leave the industrializing countries using carbon? And this is a point worth quibbling over, since they produce hardly any of the carbon? If so, you're wrong, climate change would indeed be a minor issue if this had happened.
When people, particularly designers, say something is "too intricate" or whatever, it's usually just a signal they wouldn't have the skills to make something like it.

Late 2000's/ early 2010's there was a rush of college students wanting to pursue app/ web design. Colleges had no faculty to fill that, so they just took print design professors and they shoehorned print philosophy into interaction design and we ended up with a generation of designers who don't have the first idea about depth hierarchy, affordance, etc and everything looks like a scrollable poster now.
Another one of these magical down votes on this garbage forum. Seriously, what is there to down vote. LZ77 is not nice? ZSTD is the the right tool for Postgres compression even though it does not perform as well for smaller amounts of data? It is good to waste so much time in zipping things like the horrors of Docker?

Coming up with a solution equitable enough for all takes hundreds of man-years, simply because the Western copyright systems aren't geared for supporting the commons in any meaningful way any more. Copyright terms are spinning out of control, and things are assumed proprietary even when there should be no doubt they belong in the commons.

Let's face it, trying to retrofit a reasonable legal framework that protects the end user into this legal system, is like trying to retrofit a database written in Haskell into a mainframe that can only run COBOL. Of course it's horrible. What do you expect?

Another way to look at it, is that the IP ecosystem is hyper-competitive. If it wasn't such an arms race, then nukes like the GPL wouldn't even be necessary.
France is phasing out nuclear, their goal is to reduce nuclear from 70% to 50% by 2025.
Well this is only his second design after a rounded aluminum cutout, so I think we should withhold judgement.

Further reading on a related notion: Bloom‘s (revised) taxonomy. The idea that mastering a skill means producing new content related to that skill, which is considered the highest order skill. Lower order skills would be „understanding“ and „applying“ (using).

Another thing (besides high taxes and low wages) US leftists would like to copy from Portugal is complete legalization of all drugs, including the hard/addictive ones. I'd be curious to know from a local how well that worked (if at all) over the extended period of time.
If you remove the speed limiter you are riding an electric motorcycle, which needs to be somewhere other than with pedestrians and cyclists.
This really is my biggest fear with owning these. I think going to and from the office is a safe one since you can park the bike indoors, but for errands or outdoor casual riding it feels too risky!
This logic only works if the production capacity is available.

If you have to rebuild your entire supply chain to handle that kind of demand you're prices will start to go back up again.
> Proponents of efforts to make roads safer for cyclists have always gotten pushback from people who think that cycling is a niche hobby of rich lycra-clad yuppies.

Which I think is misguided pushback btw (which I think you agree with based on the context).

I see it as a chicken and egg thing. The roads are unsafe for bikers, so the only people who bike are those who are super dedicated to it. Then when people ask for the roads to be safer, it gets pushed back as "only biking enthusiasts use the roads now".

Safer roads means more people will bike, which means biking will stop being seen as an elitist thing.

Edit: to add on, bikes are like 1-2 orders of magnitude cheaper than cars too, both in upfront and ongoing costs also. It’s super unfortunate that it still gets the stereotype as a “rich white people” activity when it’s really so much more financially accessible than a car.
Logo has to work in many more contexts. You probably aren't going to be embroidering a seal on a polo shirt, for example. A seal will go on your website and marketing pamphlets, but that's about it.
I understand what you're saying, especially when compared to trillions and trillions (quadrillions?) of tons of CO2 and particulate pollution of coal and oil burning.

OTOH, It would be nice if the nuclear waste could be stored that way. But that concentrated football field can be used for all sorts of nefarious purposes. Ultimately it requires a large amount of infrastructure to prevent leakage, exposure, theft, explosion, degradation of infrastructure, terrorism, etc. So maybe the football field turns into a billion-dollar-a-year "small-town-sized" facility that has to be maintained for as long as humanity exists (10,000 years?). Now it seems much bigger.

It's slightly eerie how good that is (GPT-J 6B). I generated about ten paragraphs, and other then it being a bit rambly, there was basically nothing that would make my question whether it was written by a human.

RenTech was founded years before LTCM and is still going strong. It's not repetition of history, they've outlasted or are older than most of the trading desks ever. They're basically a business providing a service to other market participants and executing that incredibly well, it's quite unlike the arbitrage LTCM was involved with.

I don't know, maybe, or only I liked it better when there was so much new houses being built that this wouldn't of happened. Some of us People of Age remember growing up in houses built in post-war baby boom buildings, so there was enough of a housing increase that people weren't paying so inflated prices for houses. Maybe this is what we get when interest rates are so low and so little money is needed for down payments, I know a bunch of people who are started getting into real estate in the last year because even though it's lots of money banks make it easy if you have credit.
