My bet is that we'll be crushed between a degraded environment, with declining agricultural yield, more pandemias, etc, and reduced energy availability (no energy == no economy == no efficient action against climate change). Don't worry, you'll live interesting times (as the Chinese curse goes).

Yes - after I got over my anger (partly at myself for copying the function into my code without properly reading through it first) I sat down and worked out what was going on. The function, and the functions dependant on it, work fine if I replace NaN with 0.

As functions go, it is very neat and tidy. Some of the code I came across while searching for an RGB > HSL solution were ... not pleasant to read through.
Upper floor apartments can sometimes get quite toasty, even with the heat turned off. There was a recent HN discussion about this but I wasn't able to find it.
Thunderbird alternative OpenPGP backend: Octopus 1.2 Released
At our site (Google Waterloo) we're nowhere close to a return to office. In fact with numbers skyrocketing here we just rolled back a bunch. Most people are still fully remote. I was working hybrid coming in 2-3 days a week but nobody was ever there to collaborate with. People on the whole seem to want to return to office but not with the way things are. Many people seem fine with remote.

I'm not. My motivation suffered. I need contact and engagement. And driving in 45 minutes to sit at a desk with nobody around didn't help. So I put in my notice and after 10 years at Google this week is my last and I'll be looking for a job where I can be more engaged again, which unfortunately also probably means compensation cut.

Even the BigCorps are stuck in a remote morass. But even worse because they're not fully committed to it.
Hey,

I tested it here a few times, logging in with a wrong password does not generate an email, while logging in with the correct password from a new IP does generate that "Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize" email.

Could you try again logging in with a completely wrong password (to see if you get a email) and then logging in with the correct password from a new IP?

Also, you can verify that those kinds of events (wrong password and correct password from new IP) are logged in the LastPass Account History. Instructions to get the Account History are here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29708122
Right.

To go on, the people attacking philosophy have tended to ignore history. Historically, many topics started out as curiosities of philosophers in academia before branching out into their own areas/departments. (Today's scientists would have all been natural philosophers far back in history, as I recall.) I think the original subjects could be typified as religion, math, and philosophy. It's going to be easy to say philosophy is worthless if you're neglecting the contributions to knowledge it's made in the past through branching off whole areas of study. It's like removing all the fruit from a tree and then saying the tree is useless because there's no fruit on it. It's worse, of course, since without a theory of why things are done or reasoned or calculated the way they are then disciplines like engineering or statistics (for instance) reduce to theory-less plug-and-chug. Enter the world of p-value hacking and other poor, faulty applications of routine sans underlying reasoning.
Religions are great for making people feel special. Also great for creating in/out groups for easy discrimination too!
I am not stating anything profound here, but I found that learning math and science (college level and up) has had a huge impact on my quality of thinking. I agree with other posts emphasizing that early life nature/nurture experiences can have a strong effect, but learning and doing math and science gives you the ability to acquire mental models and thought patterns honed over many generations of top minds of humanity. It's one thing to be "street smart", raw IQ + grit + right attitude, and it's another thing altogether to be able to distill systems, structures, and predictable interactions in an otherwise chaotic observed reality. To me the latter is what determines quality of thought. Anecdotally, I've met people who were far smarter than me on the raw intelligence scale, but haven't gone the math/science route, and you can just feel how poor their toolkit is for modeling different aspects of everyday reality.

A very crude analogy would be the hardware you have and the OS and software you're running on it: studying STEM subjects is akin to installing useful software, developed by generations of brilliant engineers that you wouldn't be able to reproduce on your own in 100 lifetimes.
And the R-PACE lender, being the junior lienholder, is the one at risk of losing money if the homeowner defaults and the house doesn’t sell for enough, which makes the system have a built-in limit.

The primary lienholder doesn’t get a chance to object because there’s no reason for them to be able to object. Their economic position is not hindered by a junior loan and as a homeowner, I’d be incredibly annoyed if my mortgage holder had a right to butt in to and potentially block any secondary financing I wanted to do. C-PACE requires approval because the current senior lienholder has to agree to give up their senior position.

I saw the new James Bond movie last night and hated the ending. Not so much because it wasn't appropriate, as because they broke the rule. And not so much the rule, as the Prime Directive. My reaction felt like a kind of disgust. At the rule breakers. The same kind I'd feel at a cheater in a game.

But of course there's no sense in which I'd been cheated. This kind of surprise is meat and potatoes to almost any fiction. I think that's not despite this kind of inborn reaction, but to leverage it. This particular movie just had a lot of leverage to work with.
I think this has happened to me.
> Countries that were historically exploited and remained under siege by all capitalist countries after their socialist revolutions can’t be expected to have the same productive forces as the established industrialised countries that oppress them.

Yet somehow the productive capacity of these countries skyrockets once they embrace free markets. It's almost as if they are somehow related.

If all the opponents were bots then I'd agree that it would be hard to make a profit. But have you tried playing micro stakes? There are some very bad human players making mistakes on a regular basis. Particularly on weekend nights. The bot just needs to break even against other bots and beat weak human players.
The value that recruiters offer is delivering good candidates. If you convince a recruiter that you're a good candidate, then they will run around selling you to companies! And companies will listen, because the recruiter has build a reputation by delivering good candidates in the past - that's how recruiting works.

But if you just pay an agent to run around selling you, there's no longer any value being added. Why would companies listen to a recruiter that just refers any old candidate that pays them?

I haven't started profiling yet.

According to my cloud server's monitor, there is a big chance that the slowness is due to bandwith too crowded. I want to see if there is more slowness report or if I can experience slowness again, before I spend time to learn profiling.

But I guess sooner or later I'll have to do that. Now that I know what is in my armory, I feel more at peace :)

Here's a list of nationalized postal services: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_postal_servic...

Nationalized digital mail isn't that much of a stretch. You can still run private digital mail, just like you can hire private physical mail couriers.

But probably it won't happen. Capitalist countries prefer private industry does things. E-mail could become a regulated utility, though.
It's fine, you just add a space. It's also used for function application, like "sin x".

I'd say single-letter variable names are mostly due to ease of handwriting when doing calculations (or for giving a chalkboard talk), and authors tend to just use what they've already come up with when writing things up. Mathematicians seem to be very tolerant of ambiguous parsing, so that can't explain all of it.

The only time I've seen a PSP give a time frame this short is because we accidentally provoked VISA. We had some VERY cheap products, like $2, and an insanely easy checkout. Some one in the UK created a bot to buy these products to verify stolen credit cards.

VISA found out before we did, and basically told us to shut it down or lose the ability to accept VISA cards. All this was communicated via the PSP.
>> For instance, if I'm traveling I can just buy a SIM card at a kiosk and pop it in

That is exactly what apple doesn't want you to do. They don't want users making deals with local ISPs for service. They want in on that transaction. Virtual SIMs, controlled by phone manufacturers, will allow them to exercise a degree of control over wandering users. If you are a local ISP, you better be part of the program if you want to sell your services to apple's devices. And most users will be OK with this. They will probably appreciated not having to buy a local SIM cars. They will enjoy how easily their virtual SIM connected to the local ISP and hooked them into a the prearranged roaming deal for apple devices. They won't question the price because they will have no input into a negotiation that happened years before they arrived in the country. All that is left for them is to blindly pay the bills.
It’s not like that kind of control isn’t possible with the ports installed today.

The Bluetooth can ask what devices it’s connected to, the SIM card reader can read which SIM card is inserted and the lightning port can ask what’s at the other end of the cable.
Why not both? There's a board certification in clinical informatics where the current opportunities are endless. My partner is over 40, board certified in CI and anesthesia, and makes damn good money. There are plenty of opportunities for people who enjoy problem solving in both medicine and tech — plus, there's a whole lot less ageism.

so CSPC needs to fine google for their "I'm feeling lucky" feature?

So the countries that are net energy exporters, colored in a friendly blue - they don't receive any compensation for that energy? They're just giving it away? And that is why that energy shouldn't count towards their greenhouse gas emissions?
I figure I will be forgotten entirely within a generation or three, but maybe my minor contributions to open source software will help folks now and in the future solve problems. That coupled with the fact that I am standing on the shoulders of giants (whose names I mostly don't know) makes the choice to release my code freely easy.

As a bonus, the more eyes there are on my code the more likely it is that I get good feedback, feedback I use to improve my skills.
Show HN: Slshx – React-inspired Discord commands on Cloudflare Workers
Slshx is a library for building strongly-typed Discord commands (https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application...) that run on Cloudflare Workers (https://workers.cloudflare.com/), using a React-inspired syntax (hooks and JSX). It supports all Discord command types/options, autocomplete and interactive message components. During development, it automatically deploys your commands whenever you change your code.

I created this because I think Cloudflare Workers are a great fit for hosting Discord commands, but there wasn't an easy way to get started that had a fun development experience. I also wanted to see what a Miniflare-first (https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare) library could look like.

Does this paper count the energy used to transport goods and services to another overseas country?
> An ad hominem is not a strong argument to dismiss the claim.

I'm not dismissing the claim based on it. I'm just going in skeptical since the author has an incentive for people to believe this conclusion, even if it isn't true. If a paper claims that smoking is a net benefit to your health, wouldn't you want to know that it was funded by tobacco companies?

> Did reading the paper change your opinion?

No, it didn't. Here's a few counterarguments:

* "Fork is no longer simple" - there's a lot of things you might want to do between fork and exec, and it's really not simple to have a different way to do all of them: https://lwn.net/Articles/360556/

* "Fork encourages memory overcommit" - this makes the implicit assumption that overcommit is bad, but this isn't established to be the case.

* "fork restricts the definition of a process to a single address space" - but the only difference between processes and threads is whether or not they share an address space.

* "Fork infects an entire system" - like the GPL infects an entire codebase? If something is useful, it's not necessarily a bad thing that everything will support it.

* "However, the reasons that motivated multi-process servers are long gone" - The prefork MPM isn't deprecated and there's still reasons it needs to be used sometimes today.

> Linux has posix_spawn now

posix_spawn isn't a syscall; it's a userspace function implemented by using vfork and exec internally. But if all you had were posix_spawn, there'd be no reasonable way to implement fork in terms of it, despite the fact that there are some uses for it.
Traveling is one of them

Plenty of countries don't allow no-locals to buy a sim or don't allow them to by a "good" sim so you get a local to buy a sim and then they give you the sim. Not going to work for eSim.

I also used to keep an extra sim for friends visiting. Can't do that with an eSim
Maybe this doesn't matter so much. Remember, the cpu may be re-writing your code and re-ordering many operations. The latest Intel processors can examine your code and write new microcode to do it more efficiently. Heck, even identifying a fault to an instruction in 'your' code has become problematic!
Actually, the SIM card use to be a “personality chip” in the 1990s. It stored your phone number and your contacts. There’s a scene in The Wire where a drug dealer confuses the police by changing the sim card of his phone when talking about criminal activity, which evades electronic surveillance (changing the phone’s ID on the network) and physical surveillance (sims are very small and concealable). I was specifically calling out how the use of a cell has grown in the last 30 years specifically as it related to identity.

I’ve spent a lot of time engineering login pages and thinking about questions of user identity.
posix_spawn is just a wrapper around vfork and exec. And crucially, you have it in addition to them, not instead of them, because sometimes it can't do what you need.
> would you download a car?

If someone ever one day invents the Star Trek replicator, it would end scarcity of physical goods overnight! This would be an amazing thing for humanity (and would likely be opposed/outlawed by the same moneyed interests that oppose the sharing of non-physical goods). This hypothetical invention would utterly change humanity for the better.

I would download a car! No question. If the alternative is needlessly spending money on the exact same product, of course I would, and so would nearly everyone posting here. What an absurd campaign that was! In a world without physical good scarcity, there would be nothing ethically wrong with doing it.

Oh, and we’ve only been talking about cars and movies—luxury goods. Notice how the argument is never “would you download food?” Or “would you download insulin?” I think even EvilStudioExec might have a hard time arguing against downloading necessities or life-saving medicine.
Can you provide some examples?

As far as I know there are many countries that cooperate with the EU but are not a part of it, based on many levels of compromise. (This video proposes we replace the european flag's stars with asterisks for all the exceptions and compromises! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O37yJBFRrfg )

In fact the UK took several of those types/levels of cooperation into consideration and rejected each. (Here's a quick video overview of that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agZ0xISi40E )

I wonder if something similar could be mixed in with police/ambulance/fire sirens? I have to pull over for one of them maybe a third of the time when I’m driving these days and it can be hard to determine where they are approaching from.

Alternatively, maybe it’s possible for cars to determine the direction, much like that system that can pinpoint gunshots (also in use where I live) and flash up details on one of the many screens in my car.
Just start by thinking of the positive sides of introversion.

Like, being able to focus for long period of times, being able to sustain long relationships, sounding more human and at ease on 1 on 1 than in groups, being self-reflective and therefore open to change and to put yourself into question.

Being here is just one more symptom of introversion, and here you will hopefully find resources like videos or written advice that will help you handle your feelings.

I wouldn't say you necessarily need to overcome it, but to make your introverted character shine.

An advice from someone who stopped battling hard, and purposedly started finding time for better connection.

This introvert power will make you more confident, rather than just feeling wrong, and then this confidence will make you able to better cope with situations where you need some extroversion and go out of your comfort zone.

With a smile, Paolo.
Relief is on the horizon. Ethereum should switch to proof of stake in June 2022 and you are about to see an unholy torrent of used GPUs hit the market. I would expect you can pick up any you like for peanuts then.

Every time I've transferred my eSIM to a different phone, I had to get a QR code regenerated.

Physical SIMs can be swapped in seconds.

Was your experience of transfer simpler?

Have you ever switched SIMs continuously, in an ad-hoc way, because you had more SIMs than phones? This isn't that unusual if you're on a road trip or, especially, if you're relocating.
How to Shuffle Songs? (2014)
I think you would pair your headphones with some type of primary multiplexer that knows how to talk to the other gear and is probably centrally managed by the foreman. So your headphones in this model could see one device and thus you could use standard bluetooth headphones. I could see some type of Arduino or similar device acting as the multiplexer. Unsure if an arduino is capable enough but others here could probably chime in. That device could also handle the local communications. Maybe its a RasPi in a bright yellow case that goes on your tool belt with a DeWalt/Hilti/Bosch logo, whomever you partner with to fund this. Oh and a removable standard speed charging battery standardized to charge with the other tools.
I’m not sure your rebuttal is sufficient. Weights and biases in the form of a neural network aren’t static either. Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms exhibit learning and growing.

If they can't articulate a strategy that you can understand then you run the risk that:

A) It's a scam. Their strategy actually relies on dupes doing what they say while they do something different to profit off of the loss of their dupes.

B) It's luck. With many people investing, and the market generally moving up, some of them will have good returns over time even without a good strategy. The problem here is you can do exactly what they say and it may not work.

C) It's defunct. Maybe they had some plan that worked really well 20 years ago and the efficacy of the strategy has been declining. Or, as whoever it is reveals their strategy to you others see, understand, and compensate for the strategy and it stops working because of that.

If you can understand the strategy then you can account for these risks and/or determine that they do not apply.

>A search would have been fine.

But what about a search that didn't return it, or returned it in a way that's not really obvious (ie. google's answer panels for questions)? Should we report google and/or the computer manufacturer to the CSPC?
To throw shade (probably will get some down votes here!), I would have nodded my head in agreement... but keep your samurai sword close at hand. When they start to push you to return to office can use all sorts of stalling tactics. At worst, make up some crazy situation where you "need" to WFH due to elder-care/illness-care/single-parent-child-care. As long as you are highly productive, it will be hard for them to fire you. If they are especially horrible and pressure-cooker-like, start looking for your next role. Plus, you'll have Stripe on your CV!
