That reminds me... on top of the shifts in society because of COVID, it's a shame that there's no place like Dick Smith, Frys, Radio Shack, computer stores, etc., where young geeks can go and meet each other. I was a geek among geeks as a kid, but even then I still liked that I could go to electronics stores, comic shops, hobby stores, and just be around people who were kind of weird like me and also had a love for the sorts of things I was interested in. With most of today's meetups still being "remote", at least where I live, I have to wonder where the hell a young me would be able to go today. I'd just have to network through Discord and hope that my server doesn't suddenly get banned because Dischord Inc. thinks it's a group of "hackers".

Basically, I think there was something to having physical places to go to. It's a culture that seems nearly dead.
AWS launching Lambda URLs, allowing executions without API Gateway
AWS pushed out the docs for this new feature but then quickly pulled them down. Likely it will be announced during re:invent coming up.

The original doc url (taken down now) was: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/invocation-urls.html

Google has a cache here: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Qr4xUaiHjAsJ:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/invocation-urls.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
This is really awesome. I'm super stoked to find more companies and developers leveraging on the power of Wasmer and WAPM to empower new use cases.

Great work!

There is a term "collective intelligence".

> "..Stupidity is perhaps less a psychological than a sociological problem.”

Instead of the "wisdom of crowds" and "smart mobs", we have herd behavior, mob mentality, collective hysteria, the mass psychology of fascism..

This entire line of reasoning makes no sense at all. Any new disease could cause a massive death toll if we had no resistance to it at all.

Our public health systems responds to reality, not theoretical casualties in populations that do not exist.

If measles was killing 1 million people per year we would've absolutely locked down much harder to stop the spread. That is just common sense.

It never was doing that. It was killing like 10k people or less per year. So any kind of comparison of our response to covid is ridiculous, except in acknowledging that even though measles was far less dangerous to our population, we still have mandated vaccination against it.
Minority rights.
It is Europe buddy. Every country there was invaded and occupied by someone else at some time in history, with or without immigrants.

The history of Europe is basically 3000 years of someone invading someone else's country and stealing their cows. Actually, the Italians spent most of their history doing exactly that to themselves. Up until the unification at late 19th century, Italians killed more Italians than any barbarian invasion.
In the early days of Israel, my wife's Yiddish-speaking forebears actively avoided passing it down

That isn't nailing. You can also drill for anchors in drywall and it doesn't require a hammer drill.
Isn't part of the beauty of low earth orbit the fact that it is less susceptible to this, as free flying debris in LEO tends to encounter drag and get caught by the atmosphere? Because of this I'm not sure recent and upcoming LEO satellite deployments really factor into Kessler Syndrome that much, despite how numerous they will be.

So, it seems a bit disingenuous for the article to make a big deal of LEO satellites.
I swear, HN is so goddamned soft. It's not that Americans don't value the lives of thieves - it's that thieves don't value their lives over catalytic converters.

To reach the final stage of your soyboy beta cuck transformation, please also make sure to try and "understand the feelings" of the thief as they steal your property in front of you and praise them for their bravery of standing up to the hardships of life. Then post on Twitter how you're a big supporter of the downtrodden and this is your way to add fairness and balance to the universe.
It's a problem, but I don't think it's that intractable of a problem, since any company launching products into space has an incentive not to have them destroyed by a ring of planetary trash.

Cool essay by the way. Learned something new.
This reminds me of Python interfaces, which were inspired by Zope interfaces.

Choosing among competing interfaces overriding the MRO was a runtime configuration option, often using adapters to wrap other objects. This turns out to be handy when implementing a CMS extended with 3rd-party plugins that aren't written with each other in mind. Fun times!
I’d love to see an international orbit allocation similar to how the fcc regulates spectrum.

Also with the cost of sending a satellite to space about to potentially plummet (starship?), wouldn’t it just make sense to make a lot of cheap satellites that you throw up in a low enough orbit that a collision would only require a few years til the shattered pieces de orbit and burn up? We may be on the cusp of a revolution on satellite technology as the engineering work going into each individual satellite drops precipitously and the turnaround time becomes weeks not years. I could see a similar Cambrian explosion in satellite tech from cheap space access similar to when we went from mainframes to pcs. Thoughts?
I think that you have the right to protect your rights at all costs. If your rights are being violated it's OK to reclaim it by returning the favor. If you don't believe it then there's a discussion to be had about if you even have any rights to begin with or if these are just privileges granted to you by the others.
Well, humans.
Some department somewhere will have to take a chance based on direct knowledge of you, your abilities, and potential to be successful.

Some people somewhere have to know you for that to happen. So start talking to those gatekeepers.

Talking to the gatekeepers about a master's degree.

Because that lowers their risk; lowers the bar for admission; is sufficient to demonstrate your Phd potential, and is on the roadmap to a Phd anyway.

And of course there are more likely to MS programs for non-traditional backgrounds than Phd's.

Good luck.
I've seen signs saying "trespassers will be shot", and never felt the need to test them. The fact that the shooter was doing something illegal doesn't change the possibility that you may no longer be alive.
I loved Adobe Pagemill myself.

This sounds more like "socially awkward but want to talk to lots of people" than strictly introverted (which itself generally gets used to mean many things). I have some "introvert" traits: talking to people tires me out, I have no interest in low quality conversations - I dont like chit-chatting with strangers. If this is what's going to happen at an event I'd rather avoid it altogether than have a pretext for people to come talk to me.

But I'm not socially awkward really (imo) more just conserving my energy because I do find talking tiring.

So all that to say I'd rather focus on high quality interaction - smaller groups with mutual interests, vs make bulk unsolicited networking easier for me. I can see the article makes sense for the author and would work for people who for some reason want to have idle banter with others.
The post is predicting something with a "hybrid e-ink capable of color multimedia" and "melding multi-touch+Pixel Qi Screen". We didn't get that in 2010. We got a large iPhone.
Amazon Prime is a constant, and I’m usually subscribed to 2 other services at a time. Those 2 rotate, e.g. by the time I’ve exhausted what there is to binge on Hulu, chances are there’s something new and decent on Netflix. I don’t mind the rotating. I feel like I’m getting a far better deal on entertainment than in any previous era.

They're taking them to backwoods smelting places, according to the cop I spoke with. Who'd be buying meth-smelted blocks of metal? I'm assuming the quality would be poor.
Automakers resisted putting backup cameras in cars and they provide the driver utility. A panel under the car adds no immediate utility to the buyer and therefore the extra $200 or whatever it would cost would detract buyers.

LuaJIT/Lua 5.1 are not going anywhere. Development is done. NeoVIM has made LuaJIT it's default scripting language and has a pretty great FAQ[0] on the topic.

Everything's approach has important tradeoffs: the indexing service must be run as administrator/root, and by reading the USN journal it gives users a listing of _all_ files and mtimes on the filesystem regardless of directory permissions. That means that any user who can run a file search can also see every other users' files, which includes their partial web history (since most browsers, including Firefox and Chrome, cache data in files named for the website they're from, and the mtime will often be the last visit time). If you want to avoid this, you can only switch to Everything's traditional directory-traversal-based index, which has the same performance as updatedb/mlocate, Baloo, or fsearch.

I think these tradeoffs are why there hasn't been as much interest in replicating it, combined with the fact that mlocate/fd/find/fsearch are already a lot faster in most circumstances than the default Windows search and good enough for the most common use cases (although there are certainly usecases where they're not).
I was just making a play on words. My mind is pretty non-linear and order tends to come with time and revision, as opposed to happening and being expressed “in order”.
We're still waiting for a good colour e-ink device.
Here's my strategy:

* decrease your expenses (or at least know them)
* build up a cash cushion (I like a 6 month runway, including buying health ins if you need it)
* moonlight (check your employment agreement) by asking folks you have worked with or met if they need help. LinkedIn is great (always ask if people know anyone who needs help, rather than "do you need help" as that is less awkward)
* take the plunge when you feel like you have enough contacts

You can start building a name for yourself in a specific area by blogging or contributing to open source.

They are 'temporary' in the sense they are not quite designed to last for centuries.

In Europe, you have 'Post and Beam' framing which means the underlying structure can last 'a very long time' while the non-weight-bearing walls can be replaced. And there's a lot of stone work which can last 'a very long time' as well.

But yes, stone is a problem for earthquakes.

I wish there was more research into modern materials for this kind of stuff.

I would hope that 'wood' would be something we use for decorative things we see, touch or feel, and that something more mundane can go into the framing.
I would add sructural types, for example anonymous (extensible) records and variants. Nominal types are overused in nearly all programming languages, even futuristic ones like Haskell. The default type definition should be a structural type, because it is easy to then simply name it if required.

Every C or Java programmer writes a function definition in terms of a tuple of parameters, despite not having first class tuples. Functional programming languages can also return tuples, but where are the anonymous records? These would allow defining functions with named arguments essentially for free.
if you take mutation of state out of the object, and we leave aside all the category theory part of fp then is more a matter of where functions are defined/how they organised
Isn't entrapment of this sort stupidly easy to avoid? If you don't know the person offloading goods to you, ask if it is legit. Let them make up a story about how they got them, or kick them out if they admit it is stolen.

As self evident as this sounds, Accept your strengths and weaknesses.

If something takes little to no effort, that’s a real good sign that it’s a strength if it takes a lot of effort, it’s probably not :)
I avoid 'mental models' altogether because I think this notion that there is some sort of model world different from lived reality is weirdly dualistic and fortune cookie like.

I think if you're faced with a problem the answer to that is having acquired proper integrated intuition through experience, not 'advice' in form of some model. Say if you're a runner, the better you get, the less you have a model like "I put the left foot in front of the right foot and breathe three times" you just learn what to do holistically.

Or if you get better at chess, the less you rely on generic advice like 'the pawn is worth 1 point, the bishop 3", and the more you get a sense of a position that you can't express as some verbal model. The very best players can play 'without thinking'.
I still have and still use to this day my trusty Nook Color.

Except technically I turned it into an Android tablet. I rooted it and overwrote the firmware with CyanogenMod v 11-20140403-NIGHTLY-encore

Of course that's very heavily out of date now. But it does what I want it to do - that is, read books. I just get lots of epubs and feed them to Moon Reader and read away.

Boy it's slow though with an Armv7 CPU with 500MB of memory. But who needs fast when all I use it for is reading one static page of text at a time?

Frankly, I'm astounded it has lasted this long - I'm especially surprised at the battery not having given up the ghost yet. I can get enough reading time to last say 4 or 5 hours in one go, but usually get drowsy enough to get to sleep well before that.

I'm waiting for the battery to finally give in - then begins the search for a replacement battery. In fact, the battery has outlasted the Nook Color charging cable, which frayed at the interface between the cable and one end. So I use a normal USB cable to charge it - which means slow charging.

A while back I looked into perhaps trying to update the version of Android on it - but by now most if not all of the Nook Color hacking sites have gone the way of the Dodo :)

does this apply to CLT as well? last I heard, CLT construction holds up favorably when it comes to fire resistance while having all the benefits of stick build construction.
The private sector might disregard long term risk for short term profit, as they did countless times with the environment. This was mentioned in the article.
It’s not like people are stealing catalytic converters because they can’t afford food.

To a large extent this is organized crime. These are not thefts of desperation caused by poverty, and the thefts are not perpetrated by individuals stealing one or two catalytic converters at a time. There are crews of thieves stealing dozens of converters in a night and selling them in bulk to unscrupulous purchasers.

There are at least some evidence that I could be wrong about bigger die M1 [1], linking two die together would be a 2S System for 2 CPU and CrossFire for 2 GPU.

How would that work? For professional application this has worked fine. But Crossfire GPU ( Or Nvidia SLI ) never worked for Gaming. I guess I was blindside by Gaming preference.

Really interesting to see how they do it if it is true. Zen 2 basically got rid of ( or lessens ) NUMA problem with a centralise memory controller. That is why Chiplet worked for them. And that why Zen 1 wasn't great. But it sort of get much more complicated on a 4 Die version. A two Die version is easier to deal with. Which is why Jade 4C still doesn't make much sense.

Edit: I cant find it anywhere but I remember TSMC and AMD announced their version of EMIB or CoWoS was coming ahead of schedule. And it turns out their interposer size is the same as 4x M1 Max Die Size. At a potential of 500W+ TDP Design.

Still doesn't solve NUMA issue though. A long with all other 4 Die Controller issues.

I don't understand how this works: https://github.com/xrudelis/pytrait/blob/master/examples/bas...

The "Sheep" class never inherits from "Animal" or "ImplAnimalForSheep", nor does its body reference them in any way, so how does it get the "talk" method?
Texas also has the death penalty for premeditated murder, which would probably be the case if you're prepared enough to frame the victim for catalytic converter theft.

So if you're going to use an affirmative defense ("Yes I did it, but it was justified") then that seems like a pretty big risk, especially if there's no real evidence the victim was a cat thief.
A very detailed write-up of this topic, with extensive research and citations:

https://constructionphysics.substack.com/p/wood-construction...

Conclusions:

-> Overall, it seems like wood construction does somewhat increase the potential risk of fire, mostly by allowing fires that do occur to be somewhat deadlier and more destructive. However, this effect is mostly swamped by other factors such as what state and city you live in, or whether you live in a house or an apartment. For a wood apartment in Salt Lake City, the risk of fire is vanishingly small; for a wood single family home in a tiny town in Arkansas, it’s much larger.

-> The most important factor for fire risk in a home is whether or not it’s sprinklered. Fire sprinklers reduce the risk of fire by an enormous amount, and sprinklered wood construction seems to perform about as well as sprinklered non-combustible construction. And sprinklers are cheap, costing about $1-2 per square foot (much less than it would cost to say, change a wood house to concrete).

-> For wildfires specifically, we see something similar - construction details such as fire protected eaves and class A roofs, along with things like community density, matter far more than whether your home is wood or steel.
The main character of Machines Like Me [https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9781787331679/Machines-McEwan-Ian...] is, somewhat. (Also a decent sci-fi story)

Haruki Murakami's narrators all seem like introverts to me. Try Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki or 1Q84.

Many of Iain M. Banks' characters are. Try The Algebraist or The Player of Games.

In Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, the main character keeps mostly to herself, but I'm not sure if that's due to her introversion or the broken world she lives in.
Isn't that addressed in the last 3 paragraphs of the article - that companies are incentivized to be too short sighted to care?

Or are you saying you think companies will invent/build more resilient satellites in response to junk? I am not an expert but I wonder how feasible that would be given the weight constraints and extreme speeds involved.
> A full course, which needs to start within five days of the appearance of symptoms, consists of forty pills—four capsules taken twice a day, for five days.

I don't understand the logic involved here. Why would anyone be willing to take 40 pills for 5 days straight but unwilling to get a vaccine shot?
+1'ing this, it's a narrowly scoped API but it works extremely well.
I think any sane person here assumes any IO, especially in .NET is already async and allows other requests to use that time… Most web apps are still IO constrained.
You also have to factor in the risk of earthquakes.

Los Angeles doesn't have frequent earthquakes, but because it's near a fault-line, that tail risk has to be addressed (the same way one wears a seatbelt, even though car accidents happen only a couple times in an individual's life).
> You can't fix people not wanting to do things by tech

At some point, people were afraid of any technology. Now, they live online, eating highly processed food delivered by planes. Yes, you can ‘fix’ people. Just give them convenience.

Who said that all problems can be solved by technology?

> Unless you invent a way to generate political will, eliminate wars, reduce inequality, no, I don't think you can.

Technological progress often goes against the will of governments. See Twitter-triggered revolutions.

Geosynchronous orbits are allocated to countries by the ITU, and other orbits are checked via national space agencies. The problem isn’t quite as simple as dividing up frequency usage, but there is an established framework for holding companies and nations liable if they do stupid things.
Had they been pulled from their vehicle, sure.

In this instance they appear to be the ones doing the pushing (of protestors) and pulling (of horses).

Neither the driver or the protesters should have been acting like a-holes, but the driver has a higher standard of care given that they're operating a 3+ ton hunk of metal and plastic.
