Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Yes, I agree with your first two points. But it's important to point out that just because something is hard to prove does not mean that we should presume guilt.

> and the third is that Louis admitted to the allegations.

Did he? AFAICT he did not admit to anything that would rise to the level of sexual assault. If he did, and there was a confession to that effect, he certainly would have been prosecuted as that would be an easy case. Also a high profile case that would put a feather in the cap of any prosecutor.

For example, there was no admission of forcing anyone to do anything, and without that, you are not going to get to sexual assault. In fact, no one was locked in a room, unable to leave. No one was held down or threatened with bad repercussions if they left -- at least that is not something he admitted to. He also said ahead of time, "I am going to do X". And still no one left. Perhaps they felt more awkward leaving than staying, but again that doesn't get you to sexual assault.

This goes to your second point - what he did (that is known) wasn't actually illegal. It was antisocial.

Now the question is, do we want to avoid antisocial comics? I mean, maybe. Some do, some don't. But my position is that we shouldn't try to intervene and prevent the comic from being able to find their audience. Let each person make up their mind about that, instead of forming coordinated pressure groups that lobby to deplatform those they deem antisocial.
If there's lockup then pass. If there's not lockup then it might not be a bad idea (depending on the project/tokenomics/marketing/community of course).
Even if you leave the spinner at "only" 1 km/s and the spinner has a (pretty big) diameter of 2 km, it is 100G.
One way would be to make the change in the source file and then recompile/reload that one function. This is pretty easy to do with SLIME; you can highlight the snippet of code you want to evaluate, and then send that to your program to be evaluated on-the-fly.

I'm a fellow Yank, and I've been tipping takeout orders ~18% every time because I want my local restaurants to remain open. Life sucked when everything was closed, and since I'm (currently) in the "laptop" class I figure I can afford to add $2 to my burrito order.

The 5 Minute Rule and the 5 Byte Rule (1986) [pdf]
I've been to Prague (granted, very touristy city) and the service was great. Never had any trouble. In Russia, it depends. They have very literal understanding of capitalism now, so in the expensive stored, the service would be great, in cheap ones it'll be... not great. Also, Russian model of communication is much more direct than American, so something that would be unbelievably rude in the US may be OK in Russia - sometimes it's not a bad service, it's a different culture. Just as similarly sounding word can mean different things in different languages.
It's very common for me to revisit Common Lisp code I wrote 20 years ago because it still works and I've forgotten what algorithm I used. Within a couple of minutes I have one of two reactions: "Hey that was pretty clever" or "I get how this works but this coding style is idiotic." Usually the latter.

So yeah, I can glance at a Common Lisp program and tell pretty quickly what it's doing. That comes from studying 10,000 Common Lisp programs. It's pattern recognition.
Data Sets Matcher
Greetings from the esteemed community.
Allow me to present our development to you.
KnoDL Matcher
The matcher is a service for matching two data sets (each set with an arbitrary structure) to identify pairs of the most similar elements in them (one element from different groups). The result is output in pairs of the most corresponding elements and a special numerical measure of their compliance. Our measure of matches is an independent value, and in such a way, we can compare it between the results of several different comparisons
I hope our matcher comes in handy for solving problems.
Always ready to answer questions.
Best regards

Australia put a cap on interchange fees in 2017 that caused a drop in card rewards. Merchants argued that the lower interchange costs would be passed on to consumers. However, it appears to only significantly affected the consumer rewards.
I'm trying to correct the implied claim repeated in this thread that the ideal descent can be used to model every descent.

From the ICAO manual on CDO:
https://cfapp.icao.int/tools/ATMiKIT/story_content/external_...

> 1.1.4.6 With the need to ensure that CDO does not compromise safety and capacity, it may not always be possible to fly fully optimized CDO. As well, it may be necessary to stop a descent and maintain level flight for separation or
sequencing purposes. The aim should be, though, to maximize CDO to the extent possible, whilst not adversely affecting safety and/or capacity.

Obviously level flight near sea level is less fuel efficient than at cruising altitude.

Likewise, descending into a significant headwind, or avoiding adverse weather will require more fuel than the optimal.

I'm not saying that a continuous descent is actually guzzling gas like crazy. There's very many smart people that have been optimising fuel usage in planes for decades.

I just want to emphasise that while the ideal descent is very fuel efficient, not every descent is ideal.

And of course, it varies significantly based on the plane.

This paper shows that interestingly, some A330 models used equivalent, or even more, fuel on approach than takeoff. Although I speculate that's more due to very efficient takeoffs rather than inefficient approaches.

To add to that for people who don't know how rr works: rr records the entire state of the program by saving all the return values of syscalls. When replaying the execution, you can run the executable natively, only replacing syscalls by their recorded values.

In GDB, in addition to reverse stepping, you can also use checkpoints (save the entire state of the program) and restore them later. GDB's checkpointing feature is based on fork. "Going back" is done by "exec()'ing" the checkpoint, replacing the current execution by the saved one. One big limitation is that forking does not work for debugging programs with multiple processes, and fork is not well defined when multi-threading too. As part of my PhD, I extended [1] gdb using its Python API and allowed checkpointing with CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) which does not have this limitation. The "small" difficulty is that both GDB and CRIU use ptrace to attach to the process, and it is not possible to attach to the same process twice. The trick was to send SIGSUSPEND to the program, then detach gdb, then run CRIU on the suspended program, then reattach to the process with GDB and let it continue. This is hacky but it does work, amazingly, including breakpoints and watchpoints which are restored. CRIU even restores the right PID number by using setpid.

An advantage of checkpointing is that you can restore the execution and try another path (rr cannot change the execution, it can only replay what it recorded). You are not limited by the maximum size of an undo stack. But you need to save in advance. With rr, you can explore the whole execution, any state of the program is reachable. It's easier and more robust than checkpointing. I'd argue that's what is most useful most of the time. Checkpointing can be useful to explore multiple executions without having to run the program from the start, or to explore normally difficult to reproduce / unreachable states by modifying values with the debugger.

Ask HN: Isn't keeping up with tech for your career same as “timing the market”?
I've been thinking about the phrase "time in the market beats timing the market." Not just with investing, but also in career management. After all, that also involves trying to get a greater return on investing your time into some job or skill.

But the more I look at the job market in software, the more I see advice for managing a software engineer's career like trying to "beat" the market. I don't know if I still like this approach. I'd rather not want to keep trying to predict when the high point of some skill or technology is approaching. I prefer to do what I personally like and only change/learn something new because I get bored, and not because the job market doesn't favor it.

Tech trends feel like moving targets, and I have a dilemma. I like working in tech but I also don't like being forced to hit moving targets.

To give you an example, I started my web development career in the late 2000's. I didn't "buy" into cloud computing when it went on the rise, and I didn't "sell" my PHP skills. That's making it tougher to get interviewed at jobs probably because my experience doesn't have enough of the right keywords. Trying to just keep up with new concepts just for the sake of the job market is stress-inducing and it's like constantly monitoring stocks to buy and sell. It's an emotional roller coaster.

Is it just possible to hold on to your initial "investment" of skills long-term, and regardless of what you started with continue to build returns from that? I know that the advice to just spend more time in the market is advice for the regular joe, but I actually do just want to be a regular joe programmer.
Also Australian here. Use a credit card which is set to direct debit (auto pay) the full outstanding balance from a high interest savings account. Credit card is added to and only used through Google Pay.

* Never pay anything in the way of fees or interest, including international fees.

* Never have a positive balance sitting in a transaction account earning zero interest (or as Americans would say, checking account).

* Never worry about overdrawing my transaction account.

* Card authorisations don't deprive me of my own money (eg hotel security bond).

* Importantly, in the event of fraudulent use of the card, the bank wears the damage while an investigation is underway.

A debit card might tick the first item on this list, but not the rest.
I had my share of controller issues, where the bike would give an error. Removing the battery a few times usually solved it, but somehow the magnetic connector is too sensitive. Worse is that it is really easy to improperly connect the charger, so sometimes it would not charge at work
Depending on wind and temperature that would give me a ton of range anxiety. Especially as cycling on a stromer without assist is very very hard. So all in all it was ok, I rode 13k km and it mostly worked. But when it didn't I really hated it.

The €250 travel charger is only 80W, so a full charge takes 12 hours. I ended up writing a script to poll the api to make sure the bike was actually charging when at work.

That is why being able to use the bike as normal when off/dead battery was a primary criterium for me. The bike I have now has a cheap little hub motor on the front wheel, and it lets the wheel spin freely when the bike is off.

A final remark, I used my Stromer ST2 exclusively for commuting. Just not practical in the city, only in between cities. I use my regular ebike for almost all trips, so I get a lot more value from it.

I think you might be right, the atmosphere might be able to help you a little. However, any orbit you obtained by interaction with the atmosphere would still intersect the atmosphere, and so would decay rapidly. You'd still need a rocket to boost up afterward. Maybe it could reduce the amount of propellant necessary.

It has to do with how long you expect a given dollar to live.

Below a certain point a dollar doesn't persist very long since you're mostly living paycheck to paycheck. If you're spending most of what you earn, then what matters is that you can pay for all the essentials. It doesn't really matter what the price is in absolute terms if your paycheck keeps pace.

(It would be really weird to cash your paycheck, buy some ETFs with it, then sell them all back a week later to pay rent and buy groceries. You'd just get back what you put in.)

Higher up a given dollar lasts a lot longer. Even the dollars in a retirement fund will last for decades - imagine if you were wealthy enough that 95% of your assets were like that. At that point you have two choices:

- Either keep it under a mattress, and lose a few percent of most of your money each year

- Or put it somewhere more active, where you have enough growth to keep pace
> You think an English word might use either sound based on the sounds that surround it?

I don't know.

> does a minimal pair exist that distinguishes Đ from DŽ

Yes. Đak - DŽak (pupil / bag). The latter is though archaic and possibly loaned from turkish.

> English does not have any concept of a contrast between a 'soft' J and a 'hard' J

English does not have a concept of phonetic alphabet, so that's that. Same sound has multiple realizations in writing. Though I believe that the "soft/hard" distinction is between G and J: compare Gina, gigantic and Jake, jealous.

Well, it's a complex tongue position. Here you have all the sounds with their equivalents in phonetic alphabet: https://www.learncroatian.eu/blog/croatian-language-basics-d...
I think Redis would have been successful even without a text-heavy protocol.

Redis took a middle ground and [ascii]-length prefixed responses (though I don't think it was initially like this). That's a reasonable and likely necessary compromise. A bit similar to how HTTP can include a content-length. You'd hate to be scanning large payloads for that trailing \r\n.

So Redis terminates with \r\n (which isn't strictly necessary for all message types) and ascii encodes the types and length prefix. Everything else is just bytes.

Here's (1) a paper that looked at text vs binary protocols. They looked at it in the context of MonetDB though, which has, by far, the worse text-based protocol I've ever seen (so much so that even their official drivers have (had?) plenty of protocol-related bugs)

there's a reason why most finance advice lists "3-6 months expenses in cash" as priority one. being forced to sell assets during a market downturn hurts you a lot more than parking a couple extra thousand in an index fund helps you. when you're barely making ends meet, the smart move is minimizing variance. when you can comfortably cover your expenses, you prefer to accept more variance to maximize EV.

Well, Galileo was held under house arrest and his books were banned. We do not put people under house arrest for heresy yet, but we do fire them from jobs and make sure they can't speak or write publicly. And we sure do ban (and sometimes burn) books. So yes, Galileo would probably find the modern culture better, but only marginally - and we haven't reached the peak yet... Maybe house arrests are coming too. Many countries already prepare laws that allow to arrest people for "hate speech" or "misinformation" - exactly what Galileo got in trouble for (it was called "heresy" then but tomayto-tomato).

> Gravity = Acceleration = Velocity Squared (V^2)

That first part is correct; gravity is measured in units of acceleration.

But I have no idea what you mean by "velocity squared". If you mean the ordinary sense, of multiplying something by itself, you're wildly wrong. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time, dv/dt, and it is measured in units of velocity over time, not units of velocity squared. Its magnitude is unrelated to the magnitude of velocity.

Because the US didn't have a giant welfare system when the 'floodgates' were open.

Immigrants moved to New York or other places, and worked exceptionally hard to provide for themselves or were forced to return home.

Now, they can move to San Francisco and have the city spend thousands of dollars on them for free.

It's nearly impossible to starve on US streets today, because there's free food on nearly every street.

This fact naturally attracts low intelligence economic migrants who don't have the conscientiousness or work ethic of early New York immigrants. We've seen it in Europe. The vast majority of the migrants (who settled in the places with the best welfare systems, not the closest safe country) do not work and do not contribute to society. There's also evidence they push crime up, as well as having values that are fundamentally illiberal (for example, wanting to criminalize homosexuality and supporting terrorist groups).
That giant sling somehow looks more suited to deliver small packages directly into a backyard than Amazon's attempts at drone delivery.

The military have probably already tried something like that to send ballistic missiles I guess, and in that case you don't even have to accurately aim as the missile can guide itself to the target. Why isn't this a thing already?
