They have to justify that subscription right? Every yearly version upgrade of Adobe is filled with productivity-breaking bugs that don't get fixed until months later. Everywhere I've worked, artists know not to update to the latest Photoshop until the first patches are released and it's been evaluated. Why should a subscriber put up with that? The only recourse is to not subscribe, which isn't an option if you're content with a current version of the software.
Some surface-level knowledge about Japanese writing systems (ie. the fact that Katakana/Hiragana are fairly regular consonant+vowel syllabries) helps a lot.
Maybe just coincidence but I'm increasingly encountering non-software folks successfully building things in the AWS console that become business critical.

I don't think it's much harder than building a super complex Excel sheet with pivot tables, custom formulas and data import/export functionality.
To be fair, the backend in the early GCC 3.x series was just kind of stupid sometimes. Even now I find strange if cheap and harmless heisengremlins in GCC-produced x86 code (like MOV R, S; MOV S, R; MOV R, S) from time to time, while the Clang output, even if not always good, is at least reasonable. This is not to diss the GCC team—the effort required to port a whole compiler to a completely new IR with a completely different organizing principle while keeping it working most of that time boggles the mind, frankly. But the result does occasionally behave in weird ways.
Unless the government takes them over, like with Iridium.
Not everywhere, of course, but in the US I buy bulk CBD isolate from Oregon for $0.85/g. Full spectrum distillate prices are around double that.

I recommend creating your own tinctures with MCT oil.

Does the contract mention anything about connection and service costs that might fluctuate, or who is responsible for them ? I have OVH servers but haven't ever had a price change. But if there was no notification etc, I would first check there.
Isn't a Pipistrel Sinus 912 smaller than Cessna 210? Two young Indian women crossed the Atlantic and Pacific on it 3 yrs ago. Aarohi Pandit and Keithair Misquitta. I think plans changed and Aarohi completed most of the journey solo. I checked for long video of their flight but couldn't find any, if anyone has it please link.

Tech and the fine art of complicity
A lot of the "network support" is unwanted BS nobody asked for, that could be sold separately (or be open to other providers to offer). Like the BS "Adobe Cloud" they give you when you subscribe to the CSuite.

>Anything sold on Apple platforms, for example, nowadays has to be updated at least once a year just to keep up.

Factually wrong.
What are the other 12 Olympiads? I’m only aware of Biology, Math, Informatics, physics, Chemistry, and now Linguistics (which I wasn’t aware was a category in 2003).
> I decided to move my backups and archives offline and my services to a tiny home "server".

I hope you're not gonna regret "moving" backups rather than "copying". I made that mistake once, and only once. Now I only copy my backups if there is some better alternative, while keeping the "worse" one unless I did it for security reasons.
This is what you get for not supporting FOSS, especially R&D.

Imagine if every company took 5-10% of their IT budget to sponsor alternatives to the products they need, even if they were not using it. Take every marketing agency that subscribes to Adobe Suite, and get them to sponsor Gimp/Krita/Inkscape/etc. Every startup using Google Apps/Office365/Slack/Dropbox, get them to donate just $5/employee/month to Free and Open alternatives.

It would be a win-win. Best case scenario, the OSS alternative becomes a viable substitute. Worst case, SaaS providers will have to continously push prices down and/or innovate.
If they can afford to, they probably will.

Lots of Westerners travel to Asia/Africa/middle East/Latin America.
(And yeah, sometimes they catch diseases).

Also, you have to think whether people who normally live in those countries (non westerners) get exposed and face the consequences regularly.
Interesting to hear that experience. I've never really felt like there was social pressure to drink caffeinated drinks whatsoever. Seems like there's always more people not drinking caffeinated drinks. Particularly executive types. Just my experience.

You think "must be proficient in Microsoft Word" is inane? You'd be surprised. My partner's father has probably never used a traditional computer in his entire life, let alone Microsoft Word.
As I understand it, prions are just an ever-present rare tiny probability of a cascading malfunction of your physical composition. They are rare because they need to be, in order for a biological system to survive. (any biological system that had a high probability of prions would die off) They can never fully be eliminated because your body is built on probability, not mathematical certainty. Most organisms live less than 100 years, so the probability is good enough not to affect species survival. As long as young organisms don't eat old organisms, the chances remain low.

Another way to look at it is that the combined lifespans of the organisms of a food chain are shorter than the time it would take for one mis-folded protein to be likely to occur and then also cascade to a degree that would affect the health of the top organism. Prion diseases only show up when you introduce a loop in the food chain.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about. You are essentially a full time employee in all but name.

Here’s one of the tests. Notice vacation is explicitly called out.

> Are there written contracts or employee type benefits (i.e. pension plan, insurance, vacation). Will the relationship continue and is the work performed a key aspect of the business?

Your employer is clearly treating you like an employee while paying you like a contractor. This kind of thing is common. But the more US jobs get outsourced like this, the more likely it is that people will notice and demand enforcement actions.
> Are you saying that the direct mapping requirements I quoted above have been abandoned?

Yes.

Google: "We take all targets into consideration. We can allow developers do runtime probing and maybe branch according to that. Optimization occurs in existence of uncertainty. Dealing with fuzziness is a fact of life and we should give the tools to developers to determine in runtime."

The process has been very implementation driven, with Naga, the Rust tooling that does the whole conversion shenanigans, growing and changing its IR and semantics steadily. It's ironic that a group that is usually very adverse to having a single implementation of things is now pointing to Naga and arguing that we don't need an easy conversion step because we have all the compiler infrastructure build already.

The group has slowly redefined "bijective" to mean "easily compilable", which would be pretty hilarious, if it weren't so sad.
Well, Basque nationalism is still a thing, as they hold the 58% of the seats in their parliament. What we don't have now, fortunately, are armed Basque nationalist organizations.
No, Base price is basically for renting the meter (and maybe some other internal fees).

My workaround for the startup delay, since I use it so much, is just to autostart VS Code on OS login, and never quit. I basically treat it as part of the OS, which I've started to prefer: my computer boots up to the editor, like opening a notebook, rather than an empty "desktop".
It's a service charge. They say it's a rental fee for the meter. Just one of those scams that are allowed to go on because nobody bothers to take them to court for it.
ISPs are doing it too, i.e. charging a monthly fee for the DSL modem they install in your flat.
Which makes sense, because VERY few people actually knows how to use Word with any significant level of proficiency. I'm guessing more people have advanced Excel skills.

Word is pretty forgiving, for smaller texts, where you could easily go around and fixing heading manually for instance. That leads people to believe that they have "Word skills". I've seen maybe a handful of people being able to seriously utilize Words huge feature set to make their job easier.
I believe NFTS are a giant bubble right now. But to say they are hardly a solution for anything is equally extreme. They do offer solutions, and art authentication and chain of custody is one. Real art, not some copy paste stolen gifs as you mention.

Same applies to tracking of parts and components in manufacturing, etc.
Just my opinion, but that’s not DCM residue on a needle, that’s someone using a needle to transfer and forcing DCM under their skin.

I drenched myself in DCM and stick myself with needles a few times.

Not to say the lab isn’t dangerous. I knew one person who peppered their abdomen with glass when a perchlorate exploded, scarred their face when a peroxide exploded and burned themselves with an organolithium.

But a simple needle stick with DCM residue won’t do that.

TL;DR: I'm Strongly In Favor of therapeutics, just not disproven fake-therapeutics.

Firstly a heartfelt thanks for your reply, I appreciate it when people say helpful things like this.

But to nitpick on your nitpick, I am just as aggressively pro therapeutics as I am pro vaccine. I completely agree re: "Vaccinations and therapeutics can live side by side as vectors of attack for certain illnesses". The more weapons we have against diseases, the better. I'm comfortable and cozy with my 3x shots, AND was quite hyped when Paxlovid got approved.

To be specific, the intended target of my light derision isn't anyone pro-therapeutics. Just those pro-bunk-therapeutics. Like my mother, who for some reason went through a phase insisting one could be healed sometimes with quartz crystals. (poking fun at myself or my family seems safe).

I never did deep research into the topic, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought hydroxychloroquine was quite securely in the "not a chance, there have been tons of studies, it's 100% bunk" category? (as far as being a treatment for COVID-19)

Again, pro-therapeutics! Really, pro-anything-science-technological-advancement. Was an early Regen-Cov (the name of Regeneron's med) cheerleader too.
Does it save unsaved files?
Yeah it's utterly useful. That said it needs some lazier redesign when files are on network shares, cause it will hang
Oooh, I'd not heard of that before, it looks more pep8-ey, rather less bossy -- thanks for the hint.
It seems to me a flaw in a language and in a compiler if the average programmer has to avoid higher levels of optimizating because it cannot be predicted what they do.
Oooooooh I get it.

It’s a joke about how writers should advertise writer skills rather than word skills.

This is a very misleading title and should be changed.
The EU Parliament has NOT banned these ads. Rather they have voted yes to the act. Unless the council votes yes as well, nothing is going to happen.

The politico title is correct, please change the title to that.
12% less is a good deal. Since the real difference is about 30-50%.
Can you clarify a little bit on what you mean by your question?

One area of research is extracting an effective type theory from data that is viewed as a semantic model, eg sensor data of a phenomenon would lead to a type theory describing it.

You’re essentially taking a TDA persistent homology/covering and reinterpreting that through the lens of homotopy type theory to “decompile” your data. There’s some early results, eg connecting convolutions and type division.

But that’s overall at really early stages of research.

> It just means that you don't own the software that you run.

Arguably this goes for all proprietary software. You're allowed to use software that you paid a license for, but you were never allowed to make and distribute copies of it.

For most practical purposes, licensed software that runs on your computer feels like ownership. After all, we're not allowed to make and distribute copies of published books but we're pretty comfortable saying that we own a book that we've bought. But those copyright limitations are still there. You can own a physical copy of the book, but there are some things you're not allowed to do with it.

Owning a subscription to online software as a service points to the limitations of what we mean by ownership.

If I'm bitten by an animal which I suspect is rabid, I can simply take some doses of anti-rabic serum and be done with it. Actually I've done that more than once.

If I suspect I've had contact with a meat or blood of a prion-infected animal, what could I do about it?
For me it’s because they have a component of “natural destructor” mixed with “indestructible evil”. A virus, a bacteria, an amoeba feel like mosquitoes, even if deadly ones. Poisons and radiation feel like dangerous substances. They are all external and countable. Prions are your own bad design, a trivial key to a malfunction at the very core level, like an instant crystallization catalyst for your tissues, which you cannot undo. It’s not even your death that is terrific about prions, but the fact of the whole possibility of their existence - they feel just alien/enemy to our entire nature. I have similar feelings about SCP-009 (red water) and false vacuum.
> Plan was hampered by various political parties and lots of nimby's (one conservative state basically outlawed new wind power stations)

NIMBY for wind is expected behavior, they should really not base future electricity market predictions on ideal scenario's. The opposition was there from the start and it would of course increase once the easy locations have wind installed on them.
Does anyone know what the typical safety rules around needles and blades are in a BSL-3 lab? I assume this was a BSL-3 lab as this was a human prion strain.

Or were these experiments actually done in a BSL-2 lab?
To be honest though, while I don't like what Martin did to the poems, and while he should never have taken those liberties with them, I sort of get what he was trying to do with the example Phillips gave.

By changing "ancient" to "medieval" and "dirty" to "vulgar", he's trying to invoke the switch from Church Latin to the vulgate. I mean, there's the organ music in the background, the red wine like the blood of Christ. And then he's saying, "Look at Charles Bukowski, he writes in the language of the common people".

He then reinforces "no vulgarity" later. An addition about "clean[ing] up my act" is also there, to go with the "cleaning the shit stains" (now also explicitly "cleaning"). Which is about devulgarifying the poems.

To go along with all this he makes the poem about why he writes "like" that, not just "why he writes". To make clear that it's about why the poems are vulgar specifically, not why the poems exist at all.

And then he emphasizes that Bukowski is pleased with the result (he puts "pleased" in twice).

So there's a logic to it. It's a little pedantic and a little pretentious. And it changes the meaning of the poem. And it does some of the very devulgarification it's talking about. But it's not totally dumb.
Momentarily setting aside the human tragedy of losing the night sky for...broadband internet. We can manage externalities through taxation. Large constellations should be funding space-based sensors across all spectrums for regular astronomy and planetary defense. I feel like we could get here via a launch license fee.
Sounds like the typical dumpster fire that happens when a business not run by people who know how to scale up a business or have run one at that size get the kind of demand that requires scaling up that business.

While I understand the heft of your argument, I don't think food production and electricity generation can be categorized as simple innovations. Everything starts off when a small number of people work on something, and later spreads around through consensus. But crops are a basic necessity for survival so I feel it is unfair to bring it into this debate.

If anything, I would classify antibiotics, standardization of drug manufacturing, and scaling of energy (oil, nuclear power) as humanity's greatest achievements because all other achievements are made possible by (1) people being alive and well and (2) having the energy budget to carry out research and development.
Yes, as they service only their own area and do not act as a reseller.

As from the latest newsletter I've got they are 100% sustainable and source everything themself without anything to buy in from nuclear, coal, and gas. That's the reason why they don't offer anymore the ecofriendly tariff, because they are 100% anyhow.
Definitely a good read, but do you have the latest article in regards to this one?
Maybe it’s better to use their datacenter in Finland. A country where nuclear power is not replaced by coal and Russian gas.
The time frame has been the same for ages: we treat stories as dupes if they have had significant attention in the last year or so. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

The way we handle dupes basically follows from a couple of core principles: (1) frontpage space is the scarcest resource on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and (2) curiosity withers under repetition (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

Of course, no story counts as a dupe if you haven't seen it before! but we have to moderate for the statistical case.

>>>Digital financial services and commercial bank money have become more accessible over time, and increasing numbers of Americans have opened and maintain bank accounts.6 Nonetheless, more than 7 million—or over 5 percent of U.S. households—remain unbanked.
Why would you think I think that?

Nils Melzer has severely criticised the USA for Gitmo, and also “cautiously” welcomed a British court’s refusal to expedite assigned the USA specifically on the grounds that the USA is likely to be much worse.

While Nils Melzer is critical of Assange’s treatment by U.K. authorities, the behaviour he criticised also includes the fact they were not willing to ignore him if he left his self imposed imprisonments in the embassy. Even with the most hostile interpretation I can manage (and I really don’t have a reason to like the U.K. government even before Johnson started doing Nixon impressions), Belmarsh prison, where Assange is currently being detained, is not even close to being on the list of the “Wests' most heinous of all torture chambers”.
OK then it's a question if other EU members will use this as precedence. With the current frosty climate between the EU and US social media, I reckon it will.

Or we can just stop taxing that front of the economy, let it operate in the open legally instead od driving it underground, and save our tax dollars for policing which actually improves our daily life, like burglery, murders, etc. What is the last time the cops ever returned a stolen bicycle?

Spending millions to chase tax money is just the machine feeding itself. No one is harmed when a Picasso changes hands without a percentage being handed to the local burocracy. Last I checked we still have rampant crime in all the inner cities the world over. Fix that first.

Their non-cloud/non-subscription license is still the same price, they just removed the discounted option and replaced it with a higher priced subscription option. It looks like they want to dissuade as many people as possible from their non-cloud/non-subscription option.
It is all a matter of definition. They are both merely a physical structure, they both have to interact with very specific tissues in very specific ways to do anything, they both make our own matter replicate into additional copies of itself, they both have "preferred" areas of attack which are simply areas that they are more successful in, they both tend to "accidentally" cause behaviors that make us assist in spread (e.g. biting), and they both cause various bad things to happen as a side effect of their means of operation.

The prion's mode of operation isn't just "bump into stuff". It reaches the brain, causes other materials (DNA aptamers) to clump together, and causes other prions to be created.

That one happens to have a part that looks like genetic material and the other looks like a misfolded protein is merely a small implementation detail to me.

(Disclaimer: I, like everyone else I'm this thread, is not a qualified source of medical information.)
The running joke about the New Yorker is that you can replace any of their comic captions with "Christ, what an asshole" and they still work.

Honestly, "Christ, what an asshole" is funnier than anything they caption their comics with, so it's a helpful thing to know.
It sounds like in comparison to NestJS, Rails third party "gems" (if I am using the right terminology) are easier to use out of the box without too much hustle integrating it with the rest of the framework? Perhaps also the third party's code follows more standard "Rails" patterns?
