Lol look at the code. N-body for example, the C# is horrific C-in-C# code with a million optimizations (just read the comments lol), the Java code is idiomatic and not optimized at all.

what else can I google for you? While I agree the "whole state" is a really big brush to be painting with, it's not an inaccurate description of what the state legislature is doing.
Not the poster, but it's very familiar to me. I grew up in the midwest, and a friend from there says, "In the midwest we don't have bodies or feelings."

As a kid, I clearly remember having an epiphany: when people asked my how I was doing, they did not actually want to know how I was doing. There were a number of appropriate answers, "fine" first among them. If you watch the first 20 seconds of "How to Speak Minnesotan", it's this dynamic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-wx11l3nr4

The best way to convincingly say you're fine is to not know otherwise. So by my late teens I was very good at not knowing how I was feeling. After 20 years in California, I have unlearned a lot of this. Yoga especially helped, as at least with my instructor it was basically 90 minutes of learning to pay attention to the subtle feelings in my body. Unsurprisingly, paying attention to my emotional and physical health has a lot of benefits, so I am a much happier person and would never go back.

> The Tulsa County District Attorney's Office announced in July it would not press charges against the driver, writing in a memo that he, his wife and two children were all "in a state of immediate fear for their safety" and had been the victims of a "violent and unprovoked attack by multiple individuals who unnecessarily escalated an already dangerous circumstance by obstructing an interstate highway."

Spotify Android here. The shuffle is completely removed for me when playing an album. It's still there for playlists.

This seems like such a bizarre take to me. It's like saying in 1960 that everything to discuss about computers is up to taste not novely. I see an entire world coming to life across thousands of different blockchains. So much of it is experimental, mistakes, catastrophically bad. But other parts will succeed and define the future. The recent push around DAOs is fascinating, a way to delegate voting and decision making, an experiment that will fail endlessly until it doesn't.

Edit: However, that doesn't mean this conversation should be forced on the HN community over and over again. That's not right, and that's not the nature of curiosity.

Wow, this seems like an impressive step forward for the CPU industry and the kind of change we've been hoping for since Ryzen started giving Intel a run for its money. I can only hope that AMD continues to stay competitive and keep Intel on its toes.
I would consider that "anomaly" would refer to something unusual or unexpected, an outlier, or a weird unexplained occurrence contrary to our expectations, or a one-off deviation followed by a return to the norm.

On the other hand, a continuously changing mean or a systematic pattern IMHO is not an "anomaly"; something can't be unusual for long - if something has become or is clearly going to become usual, then it's a "new normal", it's a "trend" or something like that, but not an anomaly anymore; if we're seeing what we expected to see, that can't be called an "anomaly" because that's the expected result.

With respect to climate change we see that the underlying factors have changed, we mostly know why, we observe the consequences now, see their trends and can predict how the mean is going to change - so all the factors are contrary to the definition of "anomaly".

I debunked this in a dupe thread, where someone has similar claims about Minnesota, the actual hospital occupancy rate was 10%. The total covid utilization of Zurich ICU units is 14.6%. 71% of 14.6% is 10.3%. Not great, but a far cry from alarmist statements like "traffic accident victims can't be treated", when 7.5% of Zurich ICU beds are still unused, and 20% ICU beds are free in Switzerland overall.

Wow. That took me back. All those things, every day. And table layouts of course. And let's not forget slicing images, and slapping those into tables too. If I remember rightly, Photoshop had an "export to slices" thing built in. Amazing. Loved it.

> was .NET just alright in performance before all this

For some niche applications (i.e. financial exchanges), .NET 5 [was/is] arguably the fastest way to implement certain ring buffer abstractions because of its interesting blend of performance and safety. There is a variant of the LMAX Disruptor developed for .NET which leverages the value semantics of the C# struct to push things beyond what the Java implementations are capable of [0].

Certainly, with enough resources and manual memory management, you could best the C# implementations using a C/C++/ASM codebase, but this is a tenuous tradeoff with practical risks that must be accounted for.

One application of Lagrange Multipliers includes deriving the micro, standard, and grand canonical ensembles from statistical physics [0].

These can be used to simulate physical systems like magnets and particle fields.

The Lagrange Constraints are used to constrain things like probability, energy, and particle numbers. What is constrained accounts for the difference between the ensembles listed above.

The derivation of the Support Vector Machine also involves Lagrange Constraints as well!

The thing is that when you live in a big city you never stop playing, once you are done competing in the work setting you actually start competing in the social setting.

WHile working remotely for a company based out of NYC/LA/SF you are at those poker tables, but only during the time you work, so that makes it an 8/5/210 vs. a 24/7/365.

You miss out on the serendepity and the social part which is equally as important and can give you the biggest breaks.
I recorded about 40 hours of me solving these problems from scratch last year. That was not for everyone but some people really like seeing your thinking process, getting stuck, going down the wrong path, and recovering.

This year I'm going to be hosting a series of workshops to discuss solutions in Python.

Participants will come to the workshop having already implemented the problems we will be discussing. The goal will be learning about more intermediate and advanced features, testing, OO vs functional solutions, utilizing editors efficiently, getting feedback, data structures and runtime, and improving your coding ability.
Because you could?

We can believe something, and believe that this belief influences our actions, but that doesn't mean that it's true. For example, I don't heat my appartment. I could say that it's for the planet. But the reality is that it's not for the planet, it's that I don't need to heat my appartment for it to be at a confortable temperature for me. The consequences are still good for the planet, but this is a consequence, not a reason.

If you think children are a massive pain and your rationalization for that is that it's for the planet, there's nothing wrong with that. That may be also a thing people say so they won't get asked too much questions. I've heard that people can put a lot of pressure on other people to make children, the planet argument might be a good justification/counter to avoid being constantly questioned.

> We are capable of believing something without willing to go to the ends of the earth to be consistent with that belief.

I think my point here is that there's a notion of "intensity" or "importence". Having children is a strong belief in many people, and to counter it, you often seem to need a strong belief of the type "climate change is very important", instead of a less strong believe in the type of "I just don't want to".
Is there a place I can go to talk to people like you? Or maybe you but before you totally disconnected?

I'm curious what your hopes were for being your own bank kinda stuff. How did you imagine it would work, what was important about that to you... and the the other side, what fell short etc. You rightfully probably don't want to answer these questions as your curiosity has moved on, but I would be curious in case you are.
Tomte shouldn't have responded like that, but it's true that you've posted 25 such replies to his submissions in recent months, including ones that go beyond just linking to past submissions and get into criticism of his posts. That's excessive, so please stop.

I had a 1991 car that I consider "good". I'm not sure exactly what its secret was, possibly just generally high fan speed, but it worked fine. In my book, a good HVAC's job is that, if I set the thermostat to a temperature I find comfortable, it should make me comfortable without much further fiddling.

My Tesla fails on this front. To fine tune it (which is quite necessary), I need to go through a layer of menus on the laggy touch screen and figure out which control I need to mess with to stay comfortable. This is dangerous.
We’ve learned a lot more about the risks of these test since 1985, particularly with Kessler’s paper "Collisional cascading: The limits of population growth in low Earth orbit" in 1991. The implications are much better understood now. Plus alternative test regimes, such as the tests in lower orbits, have shown that tests at this altitude just aren’t necessary. It seems highly unlikely that there’s much about this system that couldn’t have been tested just fine against a safer target.
It seems perfectly sane to me that album-order should be the default. If Netflix decided that playing TV series on shuffle was better for engagement, you'd really expect to hear no complaints?

I just wish shuffle was truly random, but it seems to favor tracks with the (edit- got this mixed up) lowest payout. I had the same track repeated several times to me in a few hours, in a playlist of several hundred tracks

Greatest hits

other type of compilation albums

albums before the Beatles often were not composed with an idea that the order of play was important, even though they were of course in a particular order

there are probably quite a few others, I would say maybe lots of albums supposedly are meant to be played in a certain order, but only in some of them does it make a great difference - for example if you randomize The Dark Side of the Moon as mentioned it would have some tracks that were no longer functioning in relation to the others.
Probably the same reason we started to like flat buttons?

Your answer reads like a marketing blurb and only tells about the goal (on which we agree) and not the mechanism (where we disagree). I tried reading a few of the coins you mentioned and all of them were witness ("validator") based...

They still do not prove that they have something in possession, they stake their own coin on being honest... BIG difference.

Do they allow you to prove that you (and you alone) have possession/control of the coin itself, and if so, how? (That is the part that I consider impossible).

The whole problem is that proof-of-stake has been redefined by the new PoS networks and does have the original meaning of "stake" (i.e. sole possessor) anymore.

I can prove to you that I have access to a gold coin by taking it out of my purse and showing it to you.
You can do three simple tests (weight, volume and ringing) that ensures that it cannot be any other material than pure gold (due to any material that is both cheaper and heavier than gold is tungsten and that does not ring). You can also be sure that it is not a clone of another coin so that it "just disappears" or gets double spent.

There is also no witness/validator that can break your trust and betray you.

Every POS network I have ever looked into (and I admit that it has been a while) relies on witnesses. And that removes my way of knowing whether the witnesses lie or not.

Is there any of the socalled PoS networks that actually allow you to prove that you have exclusive possession/control of the digital coin in question without any witnesses ('validators')?

If so, their founders can already book their ticket to the Nobel Gala next year, as that would AFAIK be a feat in the same scale as disproving gravity...
