No, I meant dated as in “the novelty of it wore off and without that it doesn’t stand on its own two feet.” (If you read my other replies, you'll find that we are probably in complete agreement.)

I probably qualify as a font snob (although hopefully not a pretentious one). Either/both of Arial or Helvetica are better designed than Calibri. Arial is available with some “fixes” as Arial Nova for free on the MS Store. Georgia, used everywhere as it is/was, will never be old or dated in my lifetime (but there’s a Georgia Pro with more weights and some changes to hinting available for free on the MS Store). Tahoma/Verdana [1] has aged beautifully and remains excellent for the web (as evidenced by its use on HN) - it's also permanently associated in my mind with being the MS Encarta body font long before Wikipedia was a thing.

All but Arial were designed by the one and only Matthew Carter.

(Times New Roman was certainly overused and elicits some unpleasant gut reactions thanks to its guilt by association with poorly formatted and improperly typeset Word documents but is nevertheless still a classic - and of course its core origins long predate the web.)

A year or so ago I went down the rabbit hole of her stock trades and some of the people making those claims. And I found the claims of outsized returns to be rather dubious. And that was me coming in with the assumption that she was cheating.
There's a difference for sure, at least in my perception, but some of that is my own baggage. I'll give an example: I was using Symfony for a project, but found the tone of the Symfony website and tutorials, in the English texts, to be annoying and a little patronizing and a little self-aggrandizing. But one day I heard a youtube video with Symfony founder, and Frenchman, Fabien Potencier speaking. For the first time I understood his genuine enthusiasm. Up to then, I'd been "hearing" it wrong -- same text, different emphasis and intonation.
Now when I read the text, I try to imagine M. Potencier saying it aloud, and it sounds almost dear.
I’ve seen couples support each other taking turns going to school, but there was the expectation of becoming a dual income couple and even then they were together as economic equals beforehand

I can think of one or two couples where the woman was a high level executive with a broke artist waiting for their big break. I would actually dare extrapolate that to an extreme where highly economically unequals get together.

But I want to see something more mundane. Like a single earning woman is a UPS driver keeping a man that is so enamored with her ability to provide. Because I’ve seen that with the gender roles reversed, and that attractive woman could have been a live in partner with anyone. This would not be predictable for men in heterosexual relationships right now.
>They are still visually very similar in terms of the retro steampunky look.

That's not exactly what I'd call "very similar".
Indeed, many are moving in this direction (https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/05/07/what-no-python...)
University of Sheffield is big, but £30m stills sounds like a lot to spend on a student management system. I believe the SITS system is written in uniface - "You're building all these views and processes and you get all of the problems that you would do with conventional software development, [however] you just don't have any of the standard tooling that makes your life easier while you're doing it".
That seems more like a demonstration of arrogance and lack of wisdom than lack of intelligence.
Unless I am missing something, I believe that these pictures are at 99% the cryogenic system.

> it moved to the UHF region to help mitigate this effect.[16] Even then, it would be heavily attenuated.[7]

> This means that exoatmospheric explosions are very effective against long-range early-warning radars like PAR or the Soviet Dnestr. A single 1 Mt warhead detonated at 250 km altitude would be about 600 kilometres (400 mi) downrange given typical trajectories, and might be expected to create an ionization disk 300 kilometres (200 mi) across. As seen from the radar, this would be an angle of (300 km/600 km)2 ≈ 0.3 sr, enough to hide any warheads approaching along similar paths. This would allow, for instance, a single warhead from a particular missile field to hide all the following ones from the same field. Although this would not affect the operation of the interceptors directly, being outside the range of even the very long-range Spartan, such operations could seriously upset raid direction and overall battle planning. Moreover, because the explosion takes place outside the range of the interceptors, there is no simple means of stopping it.[8]

There's also a lot of uncertainty meaning it might be much worse, that is describe on same link.

I don't think you can sustainably send out 20 high quality applications a day. I think you should send emails or cover letters about why you are interested, and would be a good fit.

Plus, finding opening where you are a good fit takes work, especially if you are a new grad.
For built-in syntax parsing, yes - those official plugins just told the parser to enable those specific bits of syntax.

Actual plugins for non-standard syntax were all real AST visitor-based modifications, though.
The last release of Gargoyle was last year, and Shibby Tomato went silent several years ago, probably taking a lot of older routers out of 3rd-party ROM updates.

Because even when they (say that they) uphold those practices, leaks still occur. There are a number of intermediary companies which do the ID verification on behalf of adult sites, who are thus becoming aggregators of huge amounts of personal IDs. This is a privacy bomb waiting to happen, it's not a matter of if but when.

Time and again it has been proven that the bigger problem is not the security, it's the collection.

> like you have a bone to pick than an interest in effective policy or security

I have a bone to pick with privacy (if you re referring to my comment history, thanks for snooping, but that action itself shows a certain preconception on your part)
Threads still have the issue of synchronization and atomicity even when only concurrent and not parallel.

That is, assuming you had a single core CPU, with threads you'd still need to synchronize things when implementing concurrency. Coroutines have a more explicit synchronization from their natural ping/pong as you yield which could be said to tend to be safer in the average case.

I think you're maybe conflating something. If two things write to the same global variable for example, that can never be parallel, but it can be concurrent. With threads, the writes to the variables need to be guarded with some synchronization mechanisms, if you forget you'll have bugs.

With coroutines, they will be naturally synchronized by the yield points.

> you could have probably written it in a more readable single threaded way, as that’s pretty much just calling two functions back and forth

It's not just calling two functions back and forth, the coroutines retain state and continue where they yielded. Each time they yield they do not consume additional stack frames.
Yeah, battery acid is sometimes used, and not a terrible corrosive risk with the precautions you note. I don't love that it doesn't come with any specs e.g. on heavy metal contaminants, but I think it's near-certainly fine in practice. ACS grade would have specs, but I don't want to handle the concentrated acid.

Sulfuric acid would give me excess sulfate, but since the plants aren't too sensitive to that I expect that would be an improvement over my current excess phosphate. I'm not sure if I'd get calcium sulfate precipitation as the reservoir concentrated. Nitric acid would let me hit my target profile exactly (with a corresponding decrease in nitrate salts), but it's way more dangerous. I've seen nitric acid used in academic trials and in countries with weaker safety laws, but not commercially in the USA.

This is very true. You are not the person you were in HS - everyone is a "Ship of Theseus" [1] therefore you can only guess at what HS version of you was like based on fuzzy remembrances.

At your current age, you are more capable in some ways, less in others, and thus your learning capacity is different.

This is IBM, it will only run OS/2.
Yeah, but trying to build things too early makes them meaningless.

Babbage designed a computer that had essentially no impact, because it could not be built, and by the time the tech was around we had better ways to build computers.

As a global effort, it may be wiser to shift focus to other things more achievable, and try QC again in 2100 (IDK, just some random future time).
This is transparently a response to all of the negative publicity they’ve received. Understandable. When students google for Lambda School the SEO returns all the recent bad news items.

If you got a reverse osmosis filter and thereby worked with neutral water as a starting point, would it be easier to achieve your target ratios? You wouldn't have to account for existing concentrations in the tap water.

Also, I was under the impression that there are two stages for plant growth: vegetation and fruiting. The two stages have different requirements for nutrients:

- high nitrogen, mid phosphorus, low potassium; and
- low nitrogen, mid-high phosphorus, super high potassium

respectively. Do you use the same mixture for both stages?
Wouldn't be better if the python programmers did a bit of planning ? Or are the things so boring that every python minor version must be incompatible with other python minor versions.
That's true, but WeWork also competes with national office space companies (Regus, Premier) -- so national presence is not exactly a unique competitive differentiator.
Truth. Not to mention the stunning asymmetry in energy usage. At a minimum, if we can solve an equivalent computational problem using a quantum computer with orders of magnitude less energy than a classical HPC, QC merits consideration. The carbon footprint of data centers is far from negligible.

Computational advantages aren't the only types advantages we should care about.
Conversely, I had been programming in a BASIC dialect that used DEF FN to add user defined functions to the language and that made the concept of functions in math trivial for me. Being exposed to computers at a very young age was a huge advantage in school in the 70's.
It's even worse than that the BMC is a preconfigured part of the server not something you go to a sign up page for. It's literally the _change password functionality_ that does not warn/error on the password being too long!

I haven't stayed up to date with them to be honest. I've switched to ubiquiti access points with my WRT1200AC as just a switch/router. My plan is to upgrade to a x86 box with openwrt or something similar.

>> I have a suspicion that gmaps infers roads from photographs, and some of the roads are not roads at all.

> There's something called the TIGER database. [1] Of course, that needs to be populated and updated somehow and Google probably applies various corrections.

That's for the US though, it wouldn't cover Canada (though Canada probably has an equivalent).

IIRC, Google actually has a fairly large team of cartographers keeping Google Maps up to date. In addition to satellite and aerial photographs, and other maps, Google also has the benefit of Street View cars to give it on-the-ground data plus GPS tracks of customers using Google Maps on their phones.

On OpenStreetMap, there's a layer that shows all the GPS tracks that its users have uploaded, all superimposed on each other (though last I checked it hadn't been updated in some time). It's pretty easy to make out real roads from that data.

This website has some pretty good essays about Google Maps and other mapping services: https://www.justinobeirne.com/.
The current "inflation" thing is not so much due to asset inflation, but due to poor people finally seeing some gains, and the global production capacity still recovering.

Before now, there still was a large amount of QE, and yet little inflation or wage gains. Now, the labor market finally gets tight, bottom half real income goes up, inequality shrinks. But our global supply chains were bred on austerity, tuned to low demand, bean-counter efficient over resilient, and can't keep up.

In particular, your minimum-wage protagonist has a better 2020 and 2021 than 2019.

The current inflation freakout is anti-fiscal- and anti-monitary; it just wants to go back to 2019 and is thus little but evil class warfare, intentionally or not. The right thing to do is to keep the labor tight while finding some completely separate way to discipline the speculation in land, stocks, and crypto (in order of increasing being a farce).
TIL there were hyperinflation episodes in Europe during the middle age (not). You have never read a book of economic history (or even just history) right?

For the record: most of inflation comes from rising costs in the supply chain (from supply issues, resources scarcity and/or wage raises). This is where we are now.

There exists instances of hyperinflation related to debt (Weimar republic's for instance) but this was due to debt labelled in a foreign currency (basically gold in this case).

Mike Brown recently wrote a summary of his and Konstantin Batygin's paper 'The orbit of Planet Nine'. By looking at Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) whose orbits appear skewed by the invisible gravity of a possible Planet Nine, accounting for observation bias, and running a ton of simulations and MCMC, they concluded: if it exists, Planet Nine has a mass of 6.2 (+2.2/-1.3) Earth masses and a perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) of 300 (+85/-60) AU. The median distance at aphelion is around 500 AU. Those are not small error bars, but they do constrain the search, and this proposed finding of 225±15 AU and a mass of 3-5 ME could just ~barely~ fit.

The summary: https://findplanetnine.blogspot.com/2021/08/the-orbit-of-pla...

Plants for sure absorb things they don't need, and that are toxic to themselves and to us.
I enjoyed both Soul of a New Machine and House.

A scene from the former that I remember. The principle architect of the machine (Tom West) is talking with Edson DeCastro (CEO of Data General) and is asking for a new oscilloscope to help with the bring-up of the machine.

DeCastro tells West, essentially, he's not authorizing a new, expensive scope. West, flabbergasted, asks why. DeCastro lowers his head, peering over the top of his glasses at West, and says "Because scopes cost money, and engineering overtime is free."

I'm telling this from memory and some of the details are wrong. I guess I should go get a Kindle copy of the book and re-read it. :-)

The NRO is very spooky. Word on the street is that their tech is decades ahead of what is publicly available. I personally wonder what kind of crazy capabilities they have all the time.

This is going to sound stupid, but I think the NRO may have photonic supercomputers that are being used in combination with satellites to scrape the activity of every computer on the planet. They have had programs such as TEMPEST for years which aim to understand what a computer is doing through analysis of it's EM emissions. Imagine a satellite network tuned to these frequencies, pointed at the ground at all times, collecting and analyzing what all computers are doing all the time using unfathomable processing power - I think such a thing may be feasible.

Another cool spook program is SENTIENT which is also under the NRO. It is an automated intelligence analysis system which monitors the globe autonomously. Check out the movie "Eagle Eye" for IMO a pretty accurate depiction of what this system may look like in practice.

I think riding with brakes is illegal pretty much everywhere. Also, most of the fixed gear bikes I've seen do have brakes. Only the most purpose built track frames don't have brake mounts, for example I own an ex-keirin NJS frame without brake mounts, bottle mounts, etc.

I tried using a clamp on brake with it so I could ride it on the road, but I didn't feel comfortable since I don't think the fork was really designed for those forces, so it's now a track-use bike only.
