It sounds irrelevant instead, and whoever wrote the article, is obviously being a bit too playful with words.

Of course it's not "two weeks ago there", it's just that the date is different: it's as if you tried to use a different calendar system altogether — it's fine, you just need to convert back and forth. FWIW, a bunch of churches (Russian, Serbian, Romanian Orthodox churches) still respect the Julian calendar too, and other than Christmas falling on January 7th in the Gregorian calendar (and Easter calculations using different start points), none of it is particularly notable. Gregorian calendar is not more "correct," it's just better aligned with astronomical events.

Astronomers also take middle of the day as the start of the day (look up Julian Days), because noon (Sun at the apex) is what we can actually observe and measure, so that's not something outrageous either.

Basically, it's "scandalous" type of reporting on different conventions which obviously have no practical matter.
i think many will pick the blue pill and waste much time in the matrix.
Well, let's clarify something - is it the syntax or the self-algorithm?

To compare, this is what a psuedo-popular-lang might look like:

let year = parse-integer(string, start=0, end=4)
let month = parse-integer(string, start=7, end=7)
let day = parse-integer(string, start=9, end=10)

return ((year * 31556926 + ;; no. of seconds in a year
month * 2629743 + ;; no. of seconds in a month
day * 86400) - ;; no. of seconds in a day
1900 * 31556926) ;; lisp timestamps start at 1900

Honestly that looks pretty run-of-the-mill to me.

Having said that, rolling your own date logic is insanity, as the problem is difficult[1] yet solved[2].

What are the technical characteristics of 3G and LTE? Will we lose a very useful fallback?

I ask because I have a very modern device which is basically useless when I put there a SIM of an operator which has LTE only, and works well with a 3G/LTE operator. I am speaking of the countryside and I wonder if the problem is the operator coverage or the technology utilized.
I'd look into it, then. It hits a sweet spot with companies that are small, but still make enough money to pay for consultants. You also will find tiny biz using Wordpress, Shopify, and other such apps, but those folks tend to be so small that they have to scrounge to find 50 bucks to pay for you to do something small, so they don't make the best customers.
I still use GSM daily in the US with a few new and classic phones. The technology is at just the right level with only calls and some texting.
How to extract and export valuable data from emails
Same, though I didn't edit Gorillas itself. I played that as a kid, then later (c. 2000) in my Intro to Programming class in middle school, I cloned it in Pascal. I even randomly had it select a day or night background, with a randomly positioned sun or moon. Still think back on that fondly :)
It started a couple of years ago. At this time we were developing e-commerce and CRM extensions and selling them on different marketplaces.

Once someone purchases an extension, the marketplace sends us order and customer details. Some of our extensions used license keys that we needed to (1) generate and (2) send to customers ASAP.

As these marketplaces don't have any API we were literally keeping our eyes peeled for any new email in our company's inbox to manually generate and send the license (imagine this nightmare).

We tried out a couple of pretty expensive solutions ($500+/mo) but the result was not as good as we wanted. So we finally came up with our own internal solution that saved us hundreds of hours (and a lot of money). We are using it a couple of years already and finally launched it as a SaaS product so everyone can use it.

We don't have any special expectations about how helpful it will be to other people and businesses so we are still experementing and collecting user feedbacks. However, we have our first users coming (mostly) from Quora.

This is very motivating and we are working hard to make of Parsio.io a powerful email parser suitable for everyone.

We are actively collecting user feedbacks so we are open for discussion and advices.

Could this kind of tools be helpful for your business or project?

If you're using Svelte, you don't really need Tailwind (but are obviously free to use it), especially if you're using your own components.

Svelte's styling is already pretty atomic as it is.

With Svelte, I use a small global reset, and a global file containing native CSS variables (which I reuse across multiple projects).

Most of my Svelte CSS is component specific (and in most cases, no classes are even necessary) and they can be themed by simply referring to the CSS variables in my global variable file.
I've been out of the games sphere for a long time, but is slerp() really the default idiomatic interpolation approach in modern games nowadays?

There are a vanishingly small number of scenarios where lerp() + normalize() doesn't work perfectly well enough and it is drastically faster and SIMD-friendly. That used to be the case at least.
What a delight to read, even as somebody who has barely used Go. I really appreciate the author's self-awareness as demonstrated in things like "Expected problems that weren’t".

The bits about exceptions and typing remind me of an open question I have about Go: to me it mainly looks like a language for well-understood problems. Static typing and the lack of ability to do broad, high-level exception catching seem to me to be well-matched for problems where you already understand the solution pretty well. E.g., a port like this.

But how is it for poorly understood problems? E.g., You're doing a startup where the technical risks are low and the major unknowns are about user needs and the correct experiences to deliver. Or you're doing exploratory work for an art piece.

In those contexts, I've felt much more effective starting with vague/implicit typing and some broad, high-level exception-catching blocks. That lets me avoid a bunch of questions about the right types and structures until a more solid domain vocabulary emerges. At that point you can refactor/rewrite toward clarity. But I don't see a good way to be willfully vague/casual in Go.
> dogmatic decrying of how OOP is completely useless and objectively bad

And just who were the ones pushing this? The people peddling FP.

The people in this thread are not pushing anything. They're just sharing their experiences with Scala and how unproductive it is to deal with FP zealots.
Hmm, can you provide some examples of how a context based iterator is slow?

If you need raw performance and you are just doing some minimal operations on a slice then yeah you’d want to use a simple for loop instead.

I typically use this pattern in situations where you have a ton of data coming back where you want to avoid storing all of that data in memory.
Hackaday has been my browser homepage for nearly a decade, and really helped push me into engineering as a younger person. I can’t support them enough.
Except the time they were plotting to murder him, of course.
The entirety of StackOverflow runs on something like 4 machines. Abstraction layers are expensive, and having to learn scaling methodologies unnecessarily when a better choice of upfront technology would render it unnecessary is very un-agile.
The DIYbio community at least is quite intentional about keeping a low profile. It's not hard to imagine how the mob could pick any random experiment to blow up about on a slow news day.
I don’t doubt it’s ancient. I’m not skeptic from that POV. I do find it curious that such an object would be exist but not have some fanfare around it. I’m sure there’s an explanation that eludes me. Could have been developed in some secrecy for example because it have the people who used it some advantage?
The problem is that as it progresses, that little extra range you get from hacking the aperture is going to eventually not be enough. So this might free you from reading glasses for even a few years, but eventually it will probably not be enough.

An interesting thing happened to me. As natural aging occurred, I began to need readers for some things but not always. Then, over the course of about a week I went from just barely being able to use the computer without them to nope.

The weird thing was that I'd use my computer at home and definitely absolutely could not see a word without them. I'd get to work and, same monitor, distance, resolution, could still read just fine. I chalked it up to dehydration or just being tired in the morning. But then I go home and couldn't read my home computer again, which was weird.

What was happening was this exact effect! My home office is mellow and quite a bit darker. Work is pretty bright (but depressing) fluorescents. I turned off the half the office lights and proved it. The bright light contracts the pupil and a smaller aperture has a deeper depth of field. It can be just enough to pull it back into the usable range again.

However, this effect only lasted a couple months. The minimum near-focal range finally moved far enough that I need those readers either way, although it's still less pronounced with bright lights. But I still prefer the darker environ.

For $80 a month, I could buy enough readers to throw them away every day.

Readers are just the best invention ever - thank you Ben Franklin!

That’s why ignoring natural immunity is so jaw dropping and destroys all trust in medical leadership (in the US). You already rolled the dice once and your health leaders are asking you to do it again for…what reason? If history is any indication my guess is massively increased Pfizer profits.
3B1B is also informative, especially in explaining why C was not extended using triplets but 4-tuples were needed: https://youtu.be/d4EgbgTm0Bg.

Left as an exercise to reader: prove that no such n-tuples exist for n>4.
I do components all the time, and I usually do component scoped styles.
No, I don't think designers themselves have a big influence on tech. And when I say tech I mean the whole industry and the underlying technologies, not the consumer products that follow after that.

Even just considering the final consumer products, I'd say engineers and decision makers have a much bigger influence than designers.

Edit:

To elaborate on this, what do you think had a bigger influence on the new MBPs? The team behind the M1 or the designers?
>Genuinely baffled that anyone could fail to be impressed by this.

I was much more impressed by Battlefield 2042 graphics when I first saw it. So while this looks "good", may be I was expecting much more. But then again we are limited by Hardware so I guess I have too high of an expectation.
When my daughters came home with Chromebooks provided by the school last year, I too was blown away when they had touch screen. Instant jealousy.
As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, stack graphs and Semantic were built by the same team (which I manage). Semantic is not abandoned, we've just been focusing on a different layer of our tech stack for the past year or so. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29501389

That PR on the Semantic repo was our first attempt at implementing these ideas. We decided to reimplement it in a separate library (also open source, https://github.com/github/stack-graphs), which only builds on tree-sitter directly so that there's an easier story for us and language communities to add support for new languages. It's a fair point that we could have closed the Semantic PR to indicate that more clearly.

I think it shows that you can put a lid on foreign journalism by drawing your chequebook. Just add a few indictments from the extradition agreement. The UK courts clearly haven't sided with Assange.
And people fly on jets to attend climate conferences where they eat steak and tweet about income inequality from their new phone made by people earning pennies and on and on.

Humans are selfish hypocrites. Maybe your family members don't have any inconsistency because they're drawing a line in the sand at "heartbeat" or whatever, or maybe they're just hypocrites like everyone else.

But it's important to recognize we are all hypocrites, and that someone doing one thing while saying another doesn't actually reveal some hidden dishonesty or deception. John Kerry really can care about climate change while having a massive carbon footprint and your family really can care about saving babies while doing IVF. The human mind will rationalize all sorts of exceptions and justifications for even the most strongly held beliefs.
> I think a mostly vegan diet would probably be the best you can do as an individual to protect yourself from severe covid

I know two vegans, who don't know each other as it happens, and both of them have what I'd call a shitty diet.

Sure, everything they eat is vegan but have you seen the contents of some vegan products? There are many things packed full of "filler". Especially stuff that comes in a box (although that's true of regular processed food too)

It's not like vegans just eat a steaming pile of broccoli each meal.

I'd say a diet that makes you healthier would be more appropriate: for some, that would be a high-animal-fat diet, others might be something else and so on.

Edit: I get your point: eating healthier is key but to say vegan is probably the wrong way of putting it.

The hopeful future died with the dotcom bubble burst and 9/11 together.
Can you explain how negative media coverage is relevant here? How can a real illness that people are suffering from be affected at all by negative media coverage? Are you saying that it's something that people are imagining because they are being influenced by media reports?

And what do you mean by "politicized"? Where has long covid been politicized? I haven't seen anything like that.
I use "cloud" services, but I ensure that my systems continue even if they fail. If AWS is down, maybe I can't do some analysis on historic logs until it comes back, that's a known failure

I look at the components of a system and think "what happens if this is turned off // breaks in an unusual way // goes slow", and ensure that the predicted effects are known and acceptable based on the likelihood of failure.

That's the same whether it's an AWS managed DNS service, storage bucket, or a raspberry pi on my desk. As a systems engineer I know what that component does, what happens when it doesn't "do", and ensure the business knows how to work around it when it breaks.

If your business can't cope with an AWS outage (even if it's not as efficient) then you've got problems.

Plan for failure, and it doesn't take you by surprise.
Nor do I. Their router recommendations are based on speed, with no consideration given to after purchase firmware updating. Their car reviews in the past were manipulated by choices they compare - Honda vs Kia - with no mention of, say, Toyota. I think the main problem is that they aren't actually reviewing anything - they're measuring other reviewers reactions who are paid to feature certain products and Amazon reviews, which are hugely falsified.
NeurIPS 2021 Papers
Please show me any country on this earth that doesn’t have its share of hypocrisy. I cannot think of a single one. I know and agree that the US is hypocritical but abusing the law to get a guy who’s inciting American security personnel to break their oaths is not the same as poisoning a citizen of the same country for disagreeing over politics and it’s disingenuous of you to equate that. Just as many China boosters here are trying to equate Assange’s treatment with concentration camps for millions of people
> The current generation couldn't invent the internet. You know why, cos they would never have the patience to spec it out like the old timers did. Go read a few RFCs and try to imagine a scrum team today putting as much thought into an up front design.

This is a staggering bit of revisionism. As someone who was around at the time, I remember that many RFCs were written based on already-working code. They had some advantages: nobody much cared what they were doing, so they didn't have to answer to multiple levels of management, and they clearly gave almost no thought to security from bad actors, but if you think there aren't people today--including at those very cloud providers you disdain--doing work at least as well-thought-out as those early pioneers, you haven't been paying any attention at all.

I'll stay off your lawn, but maybe take off those rose-colored glasses and stop pretending the past was rosy.
A large part of tourism is being able to brag about where you went. The cost is just a side effect. You can see this more clearly in the hierarchy of non-urban tourist destinations.

Cities like NYC and Paris have high baseline cost of doing business there. If the stuff that did cater to tourists didn't also have broad mass market appeal or other usefulness at those high price points (e.g. a hotel can serve business travelers as well) it would be priced out replaced with other stuff
I guess my point is that this goes for all countries. "Diplomats" are often not prosecuted or extradited for crimes committed abroad. It's not just the US that takes advantage of this system -- and I haven't even seen evidence that the US is an exception to the norm in this space. The "uses and abuses" section of the relevant page on Wikipedia has plenty of examples, and there are probably many more that don't make the news. It is not a novel thing and is basically irrelevant to whether Assange ought to be extradited.
> Consumer price inflation rose by 6.8% without seasonal adjustments over the 12 months ended November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

> Stripping out food and energy, the prices of which tend to be more volatile, inflation rose 4.9% over the same period — the highest level since June 1991.

This is high by recent standards but not too bad by 20th century standards. And at least this time wage inflation is happening as well.

> Several categories saw significant price increases. Gas prices jumped 58.1% over the year ending in November, the biggest jump since April 1980.

.. ah. Yeah, this is much more significant. Oil is up too: WTI about $40 at the end of last year to $70-80. As lots of places have found out, fossil fuels are cheap until they aren't.

High oil prices are quite capable of causing inflation on their own.

To my big fancy human brain, this test seems pretty simple, and if you just fiddle with it for a little while you'll succeed. Are there examples of animals that totally fail the string-pull test?

Also, there is some research out (free full text linked below) there that suggests string-pulling doesn't require any forethought but is just a feedback loop of "ooh, I did this and saw my treat move, I'll do it again"

While the technology is extremely impressive, I often find we over doing it to the point of un-canniness. For example, the dithering in the explosion/bullet effects appears to be confound with the over-sharping. As well, many of the effects are over done with the intensity of the particles and size of them. The gloss of the cars are extremely aggressive to show off the ray-tracing technology but it make the cars look goofy. I can see the de-noising failing with some surfaces because they are using ray-tracing as many places as possible.

I feel we already close to reality, but are in-human desire to over-crank things to justify the huge performance hits or showing off some these features is hurting us. Games that I see that don't jump largely from medium to ultra are often because they softly layer the effects to the point where it's not noticeable at first glance, but as time goes on it builds up immersion.

Detail is amazing, the technology is insane, and the attention to detail is jaw-dropping, I don't want to undermine the impressive work both from a technology as well as hard work implementing it.
How so? The M1 Max TDP tops at 90W, and runs at around 40W during benchmarking. The minimum configuration for the RTX 3060 Mobile runs at 60W, and the maximum, at 115W, both for the GPU alone. You would need to pair it with a CPU with a max TDP of 30W.
It very much depends on the context. In this particular case the US government managed to establish a deterrence too my making him an example.

So I would say the effect is actually in the other direction. That is less activism of that type, not more.

And the connection is not only tenuous. You are making a very general mild claim based on scant evidence. Your consideration is valid but very weak.
