That three.min.js is 128kb over the wire compressed, which isn't too terrible.

It's hard to judge from the linked page, since it's showing all the available effects. But I imagine if you're using just one that it adds up to something smaller than the typical huge "hero images" on a lot of pages.
Also, most voters in a given municipality own homes in that municipality (if they just wanted to move in they couldn't vote there) and so have a financial interest in restricting supply. And when most of your net worth is in one highly leveraged asset that's at least an understandable atttude.

And if housing prices go down that might allow the wrong sort of person into their communities. Some people conceive this in racial terms but for others its that they think of poor people as lazy or impulsive and so not good neighbors.

And I've certainly heard coworkers complaining that if poor people could move into their communities they wouldn't be paying their "fair share" of the school's running cost and so spending per pupil would drop.

And, least concretely, I think, developers would profit and they align with our mental images of greedy capitalists more than landlords do. At least for non-renters who do most of the voting about these things.
so just don't let noscript run it. your browser is under your control, right?
> but I can't find any (english) articles on this change.

Honestly, that’s probably because it’s not considered particularly news worthy to anyone in the general public beyond the German taxpayers that may see a slight increase in taxes. Outside of the HN type crowd it likely sounds perfectly normal to use office and windows at work.

Carrying 10 days worth or water sounds pretty rough, there must be a sweet spot where carrying a little less water actually gets you further.
My concern is that all vehicles are becoming more and more surveilled, transmitting hugely personal data. Once level 4 centralized control is possible I predict pre permissioned requested travel will quickly follow.

We urgently need a new generation of very basic transportation devices. The 3rd world relies on Toyo HiLuxes etc which are still easy to keep running. LandRover used to be all over the third world because they were rugged, basic and easy to work on. You'd think Tata who now own them would be continuing the tradition but they are building luxury vehicles with no clear purpose except signaling pretensions to offroad abilities.

There was also the backlit Gameboy Light, which was only released in Japan. It was essentially a Gameboy Pocket with a electroluminescent back-light. It glowed green like those old Indiglo wrist watches.

I've got one, but sadly the LCD has a bunch of dead lines. Apparently, that can be repaired pretty easily.

Never looked at USB 2.0 phy, but you can move any pins used by the eth phy, so I don't see why you would have to share pins between the two.
My message in round 1 would be:

"340958123405982

In order to decide who the leader is:

Before every round, I'm going to flip a coin before I send the next message out. Heads I'll stick with my method of deciding who the leader is for the round. Tails, I'll switch to your method of deciding on the leader for the round.

If I get heads, in the next round, I will send you this same message but starting with a different random integer from one to any size. If we both send each other this same exact message but starting with a different integer, in the same round, then whoever sends the largest integer, gets to be the leader and we will follow their plan."

------------------------

Next round and every round after:

If heads, I'll send out the same message but starting with a different random integer.

If tails, I'll follow their method of selecting a leader.

------------------------

If it ever reaches a point where we both send each other the exact same message except for the integer, and my integer was the largest one, my next message would be (or if their method ends up with me being the leader):

"I am the leader. We will both announce red in the next round"

------------------------

If it ever reaches a point where we both send each other the exact same message except for the integer, and my integer was the smaller one, my next message would be (or if their method ends up with them being the leader):

"You are the leader. I will follow the plan you sent me in this round."

------------------------

If we send each other the exact same message and the integers are tied, in the next round I flip a coin and if heads, send out the same long message again.

No way for JS to do that with an IMG tag, I don't think.
If Microsoft Teams can be around then I'm sure anyone could get a job there.
Isn't preferred pronouns kind of orthogonal to the rest of the stuff? It has nothing to do with attempting to ensure representation and is instead about addressing a person in the manner of their choosing, akin to asking a woman if she prefers Ms, Miss, Mme, Mrs, etc.

I expect it's probably way more appropriate in most contexts to directly ask a person what their preferred pronouns are than to ask what their gender identity is; the pronouns are what you actually need and this way you're finding them out with certainty rather than trying to guess based on some internal gender->pronoun mapping table.
Wrong thread. I think you want whos hiring.

I've also interacted with elected officials. Econ 101 might as well be as hard as quantum chromodynamics.
The twist in that film is the guy who designs the escape plane turns out to be a model plane designer. Ok, but all the people on the wing are going to have a hard time (quite apart from messing up the aerodynamics).

Movie stuntmen getting hurt - even dead - has been happening long after that movie. Even non-stuntmen can have close shaves on-set (I've had three, just as an SFX tech, safety is probably much better these days since the '80s); always seemed to be the cameramen who ran the highest risks.
>> Only try this on an actual car if you know what you’re doing. Even though only two very small patches are made to the model specific calibration values, making changes to your EPS might have unintended consequences.

The author has no idea what he's doing, or more specifically what hazards might be lurking right under his nose. I worked in EPS for 6 years and it's all really cool stuff right up until you download code and it promptly turns left all the way to the stop the first time you touch the wheel. That was a bug ;-) I can't tell you how hazardous it may be to tweak tuning parameters - that depends on a lot of things. Tuning aside, just commanding it over CAN might allow you to do things that wouldn't normally happen and might damage something - i.e. are all protections still in place when taking an external command? I didn't work on this model, or at this company, I'm just saying I've seen a lot of stuff and wouldn't recommend messing around with safety-critical ECUs like this.
I think people are in agreement with this conceptually, and the challenge is figuring out how to effectively implement it. I'd certainly love to see a hybrid like this with a coherent world model, but for example, how do you avoid the existing challenges with procedural worlds where you're basically limited to combinatorial combinations of a small number of primitive features? If the free-form text can't affect more than toggling of predetermined procedural state combinations, it's basically just an interface to a traditional world sim with more window dressing.
Left and liberal do not mean the same thing. Basically all of my blue or red friends agree with the principles of Liberalism, which brought us the enlightenment and [modern] civilization. You can ask your own friends, here's a definition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism (quote below)

In terms of numbers, about 8% of the US population is.. left. 25% is traditional conservative. And the other 67% is regular folks who in fact agree on most policy questions

From Wikipedia:

> Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), democracy, secularism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and a market economy
People with jobs generally aren't homeless. They may be in the short run, but long term homeless is almost exclusively among people without stable jobs.

This sounds like premature optimization. FD availability is tracked in a bitmask, and finding the next available slot is a matter of scanning for the first unset bit under a spinlock. This is going to be extremely fast.

While you could shard the file descriptor tables for CLONE_FILES processes such as threads, you would likely complicate file descriptor table management and harm the much more important read performance (which is currently just a plain array index and pretty hard to beat).

You could also juts create your processes (or threads) without CLONE_FILES so that they get their own file descriptor table.

> With all respect, how do you think this proves your point at all?

I wasn’t trying to prove a point, I was trying to dis-prove a point: that you can’t prove the lab leaks based on geography alone. 0.02% chance is VERY unlikely - it’s not proof but it sure does suggest. A 0.2% chance or a 0.8% chance is… well it’s still rare, but not shockingly rare. Again I suspect the geographic odds are even higher, if you properly correlate outbreak-size population density and labs. Bsl3 labs brings the odds closer to 5% (or 19% if you count the four other novel disease incidents and I’m doing my probability math right).

Again, none of this disproves a lab leak. But it sure does tell us that we can’t prove it with geography, as the post I was responding to suggested.
Just piling on to say dear lord La is trash. I am counting down the months until my lease is up so I can leave. I make well over 100k but nearly all of it is siphoned off for housing and I would prefer living in a third world Country because my

>The main driver of SEO spam, and online scams in general are countries that have little to no opportunity for economic growth.

Not quite right because cybercrime aka hacking, cracking, spamming etc. originated in US not in East Europe, Russia and third world countries which are dominating hacking and spamming scene today. Main motivation of cybercriminals is quick money and ease of getting away with it since you are not physically committing a crime but digitally/electronically.
According to the article he was agnostic.
>It is to become less adversarial to government and corporations and more hostile to ordinary people with ideas that Twitter doesn’t like.

as a regular reader of CBC, this is the line here that resonates the most with me. If CBC was a left-wing organization advocating for tearing down the structures of power and building a more equitable society, their focus on whatever microagression is currently trending would seem a lot more honest. but their bias is overwhelmingly in favour of the governments and corporations who have built the status quo, so their articles decrying social inequities ring pretty hollow.
I agree. This broad brushing / lack of nuance reminds me of the kind of religious thinking prevalent ultra-conservative churches.
Software is never finished. There are always new features to be added, tech debt to be serviced, security and functionality updates to be put in place, new technologies to try out, to see if they help.

No UI is perfect. Even if it was, the perfect UI for today may be awful the day after tomorrow. Perfection is a moving target.
Your country gets punished for trying to do the right thing.

Just like some jobs are now hiring in "any state but Colorado", since if they hire in Colorado they have to post salary on the job description.
Sounds like a good reason not to base a global economy on it, then.
Is there something we can do to help, short off diving into reverse engineering?
At a previous job HR directly contacted me and told me to put my pronouns on my profile. I said sure and proceeded to ignore it.

Fuck that shit
Which all adds up to, karma doesn't mean shit. We already knew that, but it not matter because lizard brain like see number go up
Not sure why the bank has come up in this discussion about rent and risk. This is a landlord/tenant concern.

Renting to somebody who has a high chance of not being able to pay their rent 3 months from now is indeed a risk, and one that landlords go to great lengths to avoid. Prospective renters may not be in debt yet, but nonpaying renters are hard to get rid of.
The CBC has fallen short on challenging the government on matters of public policy. They read like state media and this should not surprise given their funding situation. They also do focus on matters that aren’t of broad and general interest. The journalist hit the nail on the head. But cbc isn’t the only troubled media as of late.
Curious of why you use MongoDB but don't mention a relational database. Do you not have a need for relational data? (or are you using one but didn't mention it).
Truework | Software Engineer, SRE, EM, PM, Designer | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite or Remote (US) | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring engineers, engineering managers, product managers and designers to help overhaul employment and income verification and build a trusted identity layer for internet commerce. A full list of roles can be found here: https://www.truework.com/careers

Truework is building a platform to make it easy to leverage income and employment information to do business on the internet. Our platform enables faster closing of loans and other transactions, increases access to financial products (that are often limited to W-2 employees with good credit), and gives employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others.

We are growing quickly: we currently handle tens of thousands of verifications every month for top US mortgage lenders and are expanding into other fintech and lending verticals as we speak. That said, our team is still small, which means you’ll play big a part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS.

I (Steve) am Truework's head of engineering. If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at (my HN username)@truework.com.

We have billions of people in the humankind. With a high probability, billion guesses every day will yield at least one or more correct guesses even if they are completely random. This person was in a position to guess not randomly but based on some advance understanding of the world and the humankind, so we cannot consider this to be surprising.

What matters is not who predicts which future, but rather who creates which future.
My guess is Netflix, I think the others have much wider moats. No actual number crunching was involved in producing this guess.
But does it really matter? If Covid is 10% likely to kill you, and the shot is 9% likely to kill you, you'd still get the shot.

Signal, WhatsApp and even Messenger have it.
Ah true, in phone land the differences are extra stark. Given the lower margins and lack of service revenue on the Android side it's not clear if it's economically feasible for Qualcomm etc to match them. It's possible we'll see something similar happen on the Mac side where a something like a M1 Max iMac resets the bar for workstations. Then again maybe not, most laptops still have terrible screens despite Apple showing it's a solvable problem at least five years ago.
Yup, early Google relied on a lot of unpaid , unseen human intervention and choices. I ran some weblinks and curatorial sites during the search wars, and PageRank could only work because there were people behind the sites choosing links based on their usefulness to their audience.
Spreading falsehoods about a person is also called 'libel'.
Easier to win votes by selling castles in the sky.
No Safety margin makes it much more unlikely for the same person to make sacrifices for the future as well. There are variations of the 'marshmallow test' in which the person introducing the test lies to the child before presenting them with the choice of delaying gratification. The number of children holding out for a second marshmallow in those instances drops noticeably, and it's not hard to imagine why. Delaying gratification presupposes that the future is somewhat predictable.

In contrast, her son Valentin actually was a nuclear physicist, though not a terribly good one as I remember. I ill-advisedly, went to a summer school he organized in Romania and, with someone I met off the plane, was given a bad time getting to the venue; it didn't occur to us to point out the invitations we had from the son of the dictator.
You just have to be able to explain it, that's all. If you want to be vague: "I was dealing with health problems that have now been addressed, and I'm excited to rejoin the workforce!"
I laughed so much with this!
Agreed here, but in your second bullet, people have great incentive to write good quality reviews on Reddit, HN, expert forums... karma/recognition etc. It just so happens that these "forums" have built in voting systems that they spend time preventing from being gamed so the search engine doesn't have to.

Not sure if this is a good model for a search engine, but it does work to a small degree in those forums.
I bust my knuckles up wrenching on my car even when I have all the right tools. The pic of him at camp with the bike in the background and he's completely clean (not even some grease?) makes me skeptical.
CBC is widely criticized here for its distinctly liberal bias, usually from the nation's conservatives. Which is fair enough--you pay for it in taxes regardless of which side of the political spectrum you're on, so you'd at least expect it to have a balanced coverage of issues.

That's not to say that CBC does no good journalism, but like the author of this article mentions they are a bit lacking in journalistic integrity sometimes.
A good friend of mine told me that he developed shortness of breath and palpitations after his first shot, and had to spend 8 hours in the ER.

While I do acknowledge that there is a lot of misinformation on the topic out there, it was really weird to see an actual real person you know suffer from a side effect of a shot. I started to think that things aren't as simple as they seem to be advertised...
Yet, you would be happy to release a safety-critical system with only run-time type checking?

Engineering is a discipline that requires years of study and supervised practice, not reducible to "the art of making trade-offs". Non-engineers hired to perform engineers' jobs like to make this sort of mistake. Management might not be able to tell the difference. Thence 737-MAX.
I think there's some nuance here, as there often is with art. Sure, you can look at the Bored Apes and say they're ugly. There is an element of that in them, and yes, I'm sure it's intentional from the team.

But they didn't have "do something ugly" as the primary goal, they had "do something cool" as the primary goal, and the "ugly" was an aspect of the approach they took to achieve that goal. Specifically, I think they were going for a street art vibe that often uses an approach like this.

It's not going to appeal to everyone, and to be honest, that's part of the point. It wouldn't be cool if it appealed to everyone. That's an easy dynamic to mock, but it's still a real dynamic in the real world.
He repeatedly broke twitter rules and was kicked off for it. What else is there to it?
lol "dramatically different." To most, it just looks greener, that's it. It won't affect an average viewer's enjoyment of the film. This reminds me of a typography article that says a g with excess kerning in some font is a devastating flaw.

The UK has an awkward cycle: housing is expensive, people who want to buy houses want to find something cheap. But once they find a house, they want no more houses be built, as they would depreciate the value of their own house.

Incidentally, home owners tend to vote Conservative, whereas renters tend to vote Labour. Labour’s housing policy tends to revolve around cheap rentals (social housing) rather than cheap houses for sale.
5% down on $600,000 is still $30k, which is at least six months’ salary for many, many people. I know HN skews wealthy but the average median family income in California is $75k. Good luck!
