Go is my go-to language when I can get away with it. (otherwise its RoR for me). The only thing I dont grok besides the aforementioned filter/map/reduce (probably coming soon) is the name itself. It is really hard to Google by itself, now I always default to "golang".
I like long form version. It helps me remembering what it does and why. Eg: `iptables --insert INPUT --protocol tcp --jump ACCEPT` was more helpful to me than `iptables -i INPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT` when told how to allow TCP traffic.

For everyday command like `ls -l` I don't mind but anything more serious I take a more cautious approach.

I do the same with an apple watch. I use Autosleep, which has a morning readiness feature using hrv and waking pulse.

I also track sleep total and sleeping pulse. Long run sleeping pulse is a good indicator of my general health. Insufficient sleep will kill my energy.

I also weight myself and take weight circumference. Should stay stable or trend down.

This takes about 5 min in morning. Time well spent.
I get that on my fairly high end Windows 10 laptop. I resort to rebooting it nightly. Windows Defender does like to go completely nuts occasionally as well.

I've got to complain though. I spend more time pissing around working around issues than doing anything productive on this infernal pile of dung.
> Imagine a user chooses "Sort by rating", and they subsequently observe an item with an average 4.5 ranking above a score of 5.0 because it has a higher Wilson score. Some portion of users will think "Ah, yes, this makes sense because the 4.5 rating is based on many more reviews, therefore its Wilson score is higher." and the vast, vast majority of users will think "What the heck? This site is rigging the system! How come this one is ranked higher than that one?" and erode confidence in the rankings.

It also erodes confidence in ratings when something with one fake 5 star review sorts above something else with 1000 reviews averaging 4.9.

I think you're mainly focusing on the very start of a learning curve, but eventually people get the hang of the new system. Especially if it's named correctly (e.g. "sort by review-count weighted score").

From my experience - a notable percent of all Dell laptops (especially Precision and Latitude series) has a decent Linux support. I have never been an owner of laptop from System76 or any other brand that is targeting Linux users. However, I am really interested in getting a Framework Laptop [0] for myself, which looks nice and I have already read good opinions about it.

That's fair, but it assumes that a lot of people who took mortgages that only "worked" because of the low rates won't go bankrupt once the rates increase. Strong economic activity and inflation simply does not translate to higher wages for a significant proportion of the population.

In other words, if you want to shelter your money from inflation the best approach might not be to tangle your money with assets that are currently overpriced because of the low interest rates.
Well yes, if we want to plot any sort of independent values, we have 3 spatial axes we are familiar with and will use them to graph accordingly. But I'm not going to argue that "housing prices therefore exist on an axes perpendicular to square footage." I just plotted the relationship that way.
I've found SMT to give 20-25 percent performance improvement on parallel workloads using a lot of the same data, so threads shouldn't be polluting each others cache. Different users would obviously not get the same improvement.

I'm not sure 20-25 percent is even worth having SMT given that is' like going from 4 cores to 5.
> It makes me suspicious when I see those Lepai-style amplifiers that are the size of a CD-ROM drive and claim "30 watts per channel... at 10% distortion."

I know what you're referring to; I bought one of those years ago and it sounds terrible at any volume, no matter the power supply, the input or what pair of speakers I connect it to. I believe it's a defective unit since the high distortion is audible at any volume. However, I tried some of those small modules sold on Ebay and other (more costly) class D speakers or amps for instruments, and they're generally really good. The modules in particular cost peanuts for what they offer quality wise. But yeah, the chance to save on BOM costs is too appealing, so there are manufacturers going further then making class D amps with junk power supplies or no filtering at the output to save pennies.

It speaks NVMe-oF, which pretty much just wraps "raw" NVMe commands in transport protocols.
Cool but I wonder what the use case for this is. People who run services like nginx or mysql on their WSL? My understanding of systemd (and init systems in general) is they're not really useful for much beside launching daemons and keeping them going.
To be fair, full automation just needs to be better than a buzzed frat boy texting his boys while driving 90 mph.

These things will happen, no one can write perfect code after all. But I'm still very optimistic. Right now we're in a weird Twilight Zone, where you're expecting drivers to be able to take command from an automated system at a moment's notice. Odds are the driver was zoned out or texting his partner or something.
These particular roads are also closed to normal vehicle traffic (autos and OHV).

I will be interested to see if E-Bikes end up being included in the motorized category in the future and therefore not allowed on these roads. There is some debate locally as to whether they should be allowed on normal trails which are already off-limits to motorized vehicles (but OK for standard bikes).
> The classic example being the arbitrary restrictions on the Python lambda syntax.

That's actually because Guido thinks multi-line expressions are messy to parse, rather than because they can't be done. Consider:

f = lambda x:
return x + 5

Or, perhaps:

print(sum(map(lambda n, b:
while n:
b.append(n)
n -= 1
return b
, range(3), [[], [], []]), []))

You can see why this was never added to the language, though.

You understand that I am not saying that black skin is the cause of the way people respond in police interactions, right?

When I say "If a certain demographic were ... 4x more likely to respond to a benign pullover with violence", that is a post-fact observation, with the demographic being the specific collection of people pulled over.

Why would you interpret it the way you did? Holy shit. I feel like we're going into the "math is racist" territory.

There are answers, but you're ignoring them.
Yeah, I've noticed that when visiting Europe. It's not that different from the transit hubs here in NYC -- it's common to see Port Authority and other agencies with full rifles and machine guns. But I think that's somewhat recent; perhaps within the last decade, and certainly not common elsewhere in the US.

That being said, my understanding is that those armed forces are usually gendarmerie in Europe -- half police, half civilian military. The US doesn't have anything resembling that because of Posse Comitatus[1], so they're difficult to compare directly.

In the USA the situation is much more risky than here.

I don't like riding in traffic mostly because drivers tend to have a short fuse for anything that isn't exactly at the limit, but on bike paths everything works just fine. The problem is that s-pedelecs are technically lumped in with the scooters, even though there is no throttle and there is absolutely no way you are going to sustain 40 Kph+ for anything but a very short period. But they're still pretty new and little by little municipalities are adapting and allowing s-pedelecs to use the bike lanes. What helps is that s-pedelec riders are extremely defensive. In town I simply reduce the assist to 'eco' and cycle with the rest of the bikes, and on the intercity bike paths I go as fast I conditions allow, typically 35 to 38 or so. On a longer trip that averages out to 33 to 35 Kph, which means a 1 hour car trip turns into a 2 hour bike trip, which is acceptable (and never traffic jams, which can turn that 1 hour car trip into a three hour car trip!).

The problem with nuclear energy is not, and never was, availability of fuel. The fueling costs are by and large negligible in the balance sheet of a nuclear plant.

Nuclear has a massive capital cost issue, you need to invest a very large sum of money up-front and recoup it over decades; and you can start to recoup it only after at least 5 years of construction that can be bogged in regulatory and construction delays, political and civil opposition can stretch construction to more than a decade, all the while the investor is billions in the red.

This makes nuclear very very risky from a financial perspective, slow to adopt innovation, hard to attract private investors that can't accommodate projects that take such a long time to become profitable. Basically, they are too expensive and slow compared to the business risk they entail, especially compared to renewables, which are quick to market and have very clear risk profiles.

If and when this changes, for example by SMRs or advanced, low cost designs, then nuclear will have a place in the clean energy market. Up to now, attempts to bring the cost down have failed, for example NuScale's battery of small reactors is estimated to cost the same as a clasic reactor.
Bla, bla... 4% of global energy use.., bla, bla.. support me on Patreon. That's what passes for an HN front-page article nowadays?

Breeding cows is almost 3x the % energy consumed quoted [0] (admittedly, in greenhouse gas emissions, but who's counting, no?)

GPU market increased 20%+ YoY [1] to what I estimate being a ±400MM unit year; that's 80M GPUs at the 1/5 share quoted; assume an average of 6 GPUs per (retail) miner, that's 13MM miners; there are 2675 Ethereum nodes as of right now [2]; I call bullshit, again.

So again, why do people post this clickbait crap here? And why does it make the front page of HN? Because crypto? There's tons of other reasons for "because crypto", and I'd love to believe we're less gullible than that over here.

(of course, please let the downvotes flow to your liking, "because crypro")

The very first code block has a fundamental error. It allows only one iterator per Stuff instance.
The way to stop drunk driving is to make driving OPTIONAL. Without adequate pedestrian and cycling facilities, people are forced to use public transit and cars to get to bars and restaurants. Make public transit intermittent, unreliable and dirty then stop service well before bars let out? Now there is ONLY cars as an option. Ride share has helped but it is much more expensive and is almost as much as the bar tab.

Now they want to put stupid devices in people's cars that will randomly strand them in the middle of who-knows-where because they "Look Drunk."
I haven't, I didn't even know it existed!
>A cotton mask has 60% filtration. An N95 mask has 95% filtration. If you "breath" in 1000 virus particles, someone with a cotton mask would only breath in 400 of them, while the one with N95 would breath in 50 virus particles

Do you have a source for this? Because from what little I've been able to find, filtration efficiency for particulate in the aerosolized size range are practically negligible with cotton masks and even surgical masks. Which makes sense considering that aerosolized particles are around 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than pore sizes in cotton and surgical masks, putting such masks in the realm of security theatre.

I suspect studies which show cotton masks having an effect on transmission (in contrast to studies near the start of the pandemic which showed no effect) are failing to consider secondary effects of masking on behavior, namely that masks indirectly remind people of the pandemic and influence their social distancing behavior

With the FED/Gov actively destroying the value of the USD, there is nothing undervalued now. With RE you can at least put it to work (long term lease or AirBnB) and cover costs/small return/preserve the value of capital.
Ethereum Classic fell victim to multiple 51% attacks in 2020. The hacker was able to gain control of 51% of the hash power and reorg some blocks and it allowed double spending and all the catastrophes that come with a 51% attack [1][2].

It is safe to say that it won't come anywhere near close to where normal Ethereum is in terms of mainstream adoption.

Re: #3 & 4, I've toured that lab and seen that experiment in person, and it is extremely promising. Their original tests we able to produce yellowcake uranium at roughly 2x market rate, which is amazing for a domestic source. They are now working on scaling and unique applications to bring the price even lower. I believe that they are looking at post filtering desalination brine. The process extracts many heavy metals, which can make make for good alternate revenue streams, further decreasing the price.
The answer is very fact specific but depending on how often you come and and how long you stay, almost certainly you will be able to enter the US as a visitor for a period of time. That being said, it might just be easier to get a work status so that you don't have to work how often you come and how long you stay. Do you have operations and employees in Canada as well?
That is correct. In the Clifford formulation that is equivalent (and in general a superset) of complex numbers you can choose the dimension or behavior to be whatever you want it to be in the resulting algebra. You can even assign it a particular metric or nullify it. The 'square to -1' that implies quadrature is just a specialization in that case. Many algebraic things of complex numbers like the exponential map still work or have general counterparts.

I don't care that I'll be competing for more cars at Superchargers. What I care about is their charging speeds. I'd be perfectly fine waiting for a Porsche Taycan to charge at 270kW, but I'd be really really annoyed waiting for a Chevy Bolt to charge at 50kW.
With hindsight, the languages turned out to be a bit "too dynamic" for their own good. Very few are changing variable types often enough for that feature to be useful. The downside, makes typing bugs possible/more likely, and slows down every access. Par for the course, would say that slow loops are a symptom not a cause.
No. US immigration only comes into play if one will be physically in the US.

FWIW I vaguely recall some kind of website that showed approximate bandwidth use... it was something like a cross between statcounter and alexa except for network stats and the like.

I think it purported Google to be hovering around 15Gbps. That sounded humongously wrong, like I'd expect global traffic <-> Google to at least be a couple terabits, right?

I'd be very curious if there's a way to actually ballpark the number. Or maybe it is in fact possible to implement services that reliably track this sort of thing, and my futile searches earlier just weren't finding them...
That's a pretty hard question to answer, and I think impossible to answer definitively (at least unless we met a civilization that did arrive at different concepts). It's kinda like the allegory of the cave; it's hard to envision another way of looking at the world, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible for there to be one.

I think the point is that the miners already have the GPUs, they will probably switch their operations to mining other coins/forks instead of just giving up on everything.
Does anyone know if you can specify parent roles (group-style non-login roles)? That's something I've wanted from pgbouncer, so instead of making settings at the user level (applications) I could make them at the group level (e.g. apiv2-readonly).
> From what I can tell they use a cargo trailer for gear as well as extra batteries.

This is the main reason if you might ever buy multiple ebikes in your household, buy a drivetrain brand that has generic, swappable batteries that can work on all your ebikes. Buying batteries is expensive (~$1,000 for Bosch).

For example, some ebikes don't have swappable batteries (either they're integrated or are a no-name brand).

The Bosch Powerpack, on the other hand, is ubiquitous and swappable. If I'm going on a long trip, I steal the battery from my other ebike and bring it along (I have a Surly Big Easy cargo bike and a Trek Verve+ 2. My SO also has a Verve+ 2).

Another benefit on buying ebikes with the same powertrain manufacturer is the battery lock can be keyed alike. It simplifies a lot.

(Oh, one last thing! If you go with Bosch, you can get the battery locks keyed alike to Abus U locks.)
I'm not using Windows 11 yet. Using dual monitors, I prefer to have my task bars on the inside edges of those monitors. I do not like to group multiple open windows in a single task bar entry.

These are not huge things, but then again, all I really want from my operating system UI is the ability to put things where I want them.

Windows 11 decreased quite a few user preference/customization options. It's clearly not their objective to do what the user wants, but whatever Microsoft wants (and this is/was one of the few core differentiators for me between Microsoft and Apple, and it is shrinking rapidly EDIT: I will not change my comment here but I think my point is more the overall ecosystem/buy-in; i.e. requiring XCode to write for iOS, needing iOS to use a Watch, being unable to choose the browser/engine on iOS, and largely being unable to customize/upgrade Mac hardware).

This latest decision is atrocious, but also inline with previous decisions they've made regarding Windows 11. User be warned.
Doesn’t have the issue on Android, and doesn’t negate iOS having poor multitasking. This happens a lot for other apps too. Also, Android has picture-in-picture for many apps.
Right, my point is that length and time don't exist perpendicular to each other simply because there might be some utility in visualizing them that way. The complex plane seems to be generally taught as if imaginary numbers in some capacity exist on this perpendicular axis. Even Veritasium, who is supposed to be teaching deconstruction/first principles approaches to these concepts, is saying this.
thanks a lot, I will
The capital can come from elsewhere. If the location of the cafe/restaurant is good enough, it is likely cheaper to add a charger + small convenience store to an existing cafe/restaurant, than to build a new restaurant when building a new charger.

Read jacquesm's reply to my comment: there are people hacking their pedelec so that they accelerate without you pedaling and that's illegal. I think it's a good thing it's illegal. I do also believe only pedelec are allowed on bike lane in Belgium/Brussels.

A bicycle which you can use without using the pedals is, to me, not the definition of a bicycle.

> Surely where they're allowed to operate, for example, should be based on things like speed and weight, rather than "whether or not the operator is moving their legs in a circular motion."

speed / weight and acceleration. But I'm still not sure about that. Bicycle lanes were made, at first, for people cycling. In European cities it's part of an overall move to be "greener": what's green about a vehicle with can be used without doing any exercise at all? You basically took the ICE engine of a motorbike and put instead an electric motor.

KTM (motorbike company) is already in to e-bike game. These companies are going to come and game the system as much as they can if limits aren't set: they'll otherwise build ultra light full-carbon e-bike with crazy fast acceleration and the selling point is going to be "It's a motorbike you can use in a bicycle lane".

I do honestly think saying: "if you don't need to pedal at all, it's not a bicycle and hence cannot use the bicycle lanes" (like they're apparently doing in the Netherlands) ain't a bad rule.
