Yes, you could take off in zero wind and fly off a cliff but it's quite boring. I wouldn't even bother hauling my paraglider up a cliff on a windless evening when the there are minimal thermals. Not without a lift. The risk profile is is quite debatable. But the general consensus is that paramotoring is safer. I see it simply carying other risks, like tangling your lines in the propeller, improperly operating the engine etc. Also the number of yearly fatalities is smaller, which doesn't actually say anything without total hours of flight. For paragliding I think most uncontrollable risk mainly revolves around weather.
"We live inside a dream."
That sounds exhausting.

"Open this program"

"Minimize"

"Focus on this text input"

..dictate..

"switch to command mode"

"save and close"

i'd rather just: "click click tab type ctrl-S"
Not just google play. Big tech companies are the greatest gift for scammers ever. People have made so much money scamming users of these sites, whether twitter ,Facebook, YouTube, apps... anything. The reason has to do with how content is moderated. If you spam Reddit, the admins will handle it almost as soon as it is reported and will come down really hard, but the lag time between when Google is aware of of a threat and then acts and when the threat goes live, is long enough for scammers to make a lot of money. Paying for moderation is expansive. Apple is willing to make the large investment in quality control to protect its users, but most companies either outsource or automate as much as possible, so a lot of garbage gets through.
I don't think your first two are as foundational, as teachable, or as uniquely relevant to students in the present moment in the US as Orwell and Marcus Aurelius.

But note that none of your picks appear on that list of 850 books they're banning in Texas.
FWIW, the following is the best code I've come across in my career.

Parents are treated equally. If you give birth you get an additional 6 weeks of medical recovery leave. If two parents (any gender) adopt a child then both receive an equal length baby bonding leave.

I've taken parental leave twice at Google and used the full amount. No ill effects, as far as I can tell. Everyone I work with and my management chain was fully supportive.
I suspect it was the docker licensing changes. We're largely switching to Colima at my work too.

I didn't reference federal waste. Can you link me to the comment that you're interpreting as "my federal waste meme"?
I can't repro. Can you try in a fresh profile with no extensions installed?
I consider "classical" in this context just to mean "very small things behave like very big things". That doesn't make it sacred, it just means that scale doesn't matter. The universe appears to not be that way, and SA is asking why.
1) When talking to others, do you feel that you need slow down a lot and simplify to give them a chance to keep up with you?

2) Is learning any topic easier for you than for an average person or are you so talented in just a few areas?
Because it's an effective tool to maintain American cultural hegemony and I want to do that. It's an effective way to spread American values and further American interests and computers are a good way to do it. I reject using chinese as a global language because it furthers chinese influence.

This is a great news and an excellent addition to F-Droid. I hope this is a little nudge to Signal to reconsider inclusion. I believe they're mostly there, they already have an APK built as a reproducible build (https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/) with FOSS components (https://signal.org/android/apk/)
Think of it as a church. You being a zealous Jehovah's witness shouldnt stop others from praying in other churches, not does it break your relationship with your JW cell.

One plus phone was a mess because the product is mess. It wouldn't get any better if users weren't allowed using any other apps. For example, my wife's parents use Ubuntu desktop for many years, with next to zero maintenance. Ubuntu does have an ability to install other apps but through its software repository, but it is made in such a way that an unskilled user just can't break the system. A simple switch buried in the settings enabling third party repositories would be enough.
An interesting project: Automatically convert a terminal commands `--help` page to a speech model. Run that over $PATH, then you never have to type again!
The commercial systems are designed for the environments where they are supposed to work and no more. The parent said that the military vehicles can handle sand or snow. Neither of those are present in SF and the bay area in general. Waymo and the other companies are only going to deploy to climates that they have solved and in the background try to solve more operating environments.
You might like to search a USENET archive for old posts in comp.arch. I'm fairly sure that the 88120 did combine everything in a single package.

What problem is this trying to solve exactly
I think Gilbert and Sullivan wrote a song about him...
Yeah, my team doesn't do anything terribly complex with them, but when I'm developing services I always throw in a command-line flag to toggle debug mode - ups the log level and serves pprof data using Go's net/http/pprof module. So it's not a user-facing feature, but we haven't run into that need yet.
Are you ex-Google then? Could you share more detail on what exacyle is/was? It sounds very interesting.
The recent violence in kazakhstan came after the possible rise in gas and electricity prices (which in turn is tied to crypo mining). The Terror started with food shortages but I think the next violent revolution will be triggered by energy prices, be it gas or electricity.

As for breaking out the guillotines, that doesn't take much. A gallows made an appearance on January 6th. Those people looked very well-fed. I'm not sure they were joking.

No, I don't have to own a home to see someone beaten to death and think "that could be me". I just have to be still living.
What was the limit when the bridge was new?
I remember doing that when I was in college, about 14 years ago. Unfortunately, I never did much with it since that instructor left about 3 weeks into the course, and everyone had to switch to other unrelated classes.
Is there anything complex about setting this up that you'd want to use this, or is this more of a time saver?

I was thinking about doing this, and still might on my own, unless there's some hard problem solved here. Nothing wrong at all with using this, though, very cool!

I know I can collect various introspective and monitoring data off cloud services I run - but only what they deign exportable (certainly not how the hypervisor of the physical box(es) running all my instances and services is currently doing, nor how my instance of a managed DB is working vs another customer's instance vs "all" instances etc)

If you want more-extensive logging, you need to be running the infra yourself
For anyone interested in this topic, you might be interested in this tech talk[1] from Emily Shea. In it she demos a tech stack similar to what's mentioned here, to fairly good effect. It does appear that required a lot of tweaking on her part and is optimized for the writing of code, and I'm not sure how well it functions for more general contexts.

Yes, they're running Windows, and Windows is also software, contributing to the bloat. My point is that the resource overhead of just running an idle OS doesn't need to be humongous compared to the actual workload.

I'm sure that felt really good to get off your chest, but perhaps you'd like to offer a calmer follow-up with more factual arguments? Some of us readers appreciate them, and find them more thought-provoking than regular boring flame wars.
I went to a war simulation once--we played airsoft as "civilians" in a town where we stayed in open-air shacks, and "Russian" forces fought "NATO" forces with a mixture of airsoft and real blank fire. (Plenty of real combat veterans in "NATO" and "RUSFOR", but the "civilians" were mostly LARPers with a few veterans.

It was astonishing how quickly we reached a state of "bored adrenaline". By the second day, we were preparing our breakfast and not even looking outside when we heard (real) gunfire or airsoft pellets striking our shack. I remember sitting down, very tired and bored, thinking about nothing, but my hands still trembling from the adrenaline.

The ways that I naturally felt like moving (I think I'll lean on the wall of this shack for a while and watch the street, I think I'll lean against the wall and keep a hand on my gun) I eventually realized were the same poses I've seen civilians take in pictures of war zones.
Does this mean I’ll finally be able to capture audio in OBS on macOS without third party tools like sound flower and blackhole?
I mean use English as a universal language for users interacting with computers. It is a good way to force people to learn and use English. Like how American materiel with English documentation did so before.

The need for an oversight board for SDCs is long overdue. Looking for fellow technically minded people if anyone wants to start one together.
Digg 4 remains a remarkable example of how you truly can kill a popular site and its entire community with a botched redesign.

I never liked the site, but plenty of people did, and they just accidentally destroyed it. A lesson that you should be able and willing to quickly revert major changes, at the very least.
> It's not definitive at all about local hidden variables.

What?

Huh, I thought kind was the spiritual successor to minikube (which I used fondly years ago). When should one reach for minikube over kind today?
Most of these systems entail developing a shorthand. For operations you expect to do a lot you assign one-syllable commands.
Does it still send your password to the central server, as mentioned in Wire's Wikipedia article? I do not see a mention that they changed it.

Well designed security programs shouldn't slow down your PC. This is a failure on the infosec department. Sysmon/Windows logging can do most of the hardwork with very few resources.
I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I really do wish he cared more about explaining the cost/benefit. Flexing how a lock can easily be defeated by a custom-made tool after hours of analysing it is not actually a good proxy for the security situations I use a padlock for.
Hmm fair point. I think maybe stuff like LaTeX is better for domain-specific though. Still we could have a much simpler unicode with a max 2-byte character and characters with consistent width, no joining/merging/shaping, eliminate the need for harfbuzz if we just refuse to support non-English human languages on computers.
> How was it?

Good times! Ergonomic terminals, hamacas, happy hour on Fridays, smoking at the desk, SINTRAN ...

To clarify, this wasn't in Oslo but in Kiel, North Germany, where they had a co-op with Christian-Albrecht-Uni for compilers (other than ND's own PLANC language), and also developed a system for public libraries.

It's about time. Python shouldn't be in the OS at all, and definitely not for core system utilities that need a working (and small) interpreter with few dependencies that can be easily upgraded.

The way the Python community handled the deprecation and EOL of 2x was a total disaster. Python isn't (or wasn't) only a toy language. It was being used for real, production code, in many cases for a decade or more. That's not to say that upgrades should be impossible, but (except for security patches), a language is such a core piece of infrastructure that you can't change it in an incompatible way without breaking working systems everywhere, and for no reason.

It was truly bizarre that a new, backwards-incompatible version was created really just to fix a missing unicode datatype and add async. Both of these could have been added to the core language or as a library. In fact, I'd argue that even if adding that to the core language was quite difficult (and I don't believe it would have been), it doesn't matter, because you don't break production code.

Python was a nice language to read and write, but considerations of long-term community support, your ability to support deployed apps, a commitment to backwards-compatibility, packaging, and a focused and workable deployment story, are all eminently practical concerns that (in many cases) completely override any otherwise nice features of the language.

The strange behavior of the python community seemed to indicate that they're not at all interested in the billions or trillions of lines of production Python 2x code out there, and that if you are going to eventually upgrade the underlying OS, you now have to completely rewrite all of those lines, even if the original developer isn't even there anymore and the app was working just fine. It was the Y2K problem all over again, but this wasn't due to short-sightedness or byte thriftiness while coding from 20 years prior, but simply because the developer bet on the wrong horse! But what a pretty horse..

Some people still say, "oh, but there were ten years before it was EOL'ed", but the reality is that Python 3000 was never spoken of as being the next (completely incompatible) version of Python, but instead was an experiment, until one day it wasn't anymore.

And then it became Python 3. And, far, far worse: the PSF took an extremely aggressive stance about enforcing the trademark and not allowing a fork (even maintained by others) of Python 2x. This is extremely antithetical to open source principles.

Python's pain was largely self-inflicted, and Python proved that it really only wanted to be a hobbyist language. Some languages might have aspirations of being a 100 year language, but apparently not Python.

Many people (including me) have now spent millions of dollars ripping and replacing Python code. Sure, we should have seen the writing on the wall back in the Python 3000 days, but, surely, we might have thought, didn't the PSF just see what happened with the Perl 5/6 debacle (a similar backwards-incompatible split that split the community and basically killed Perl) a few years prior and weren't going to make the same mistake?
What solution would you recommend? Strangely, those are all banks I have never heard of. My employer had no search results on that site. I guess they aren't doing everything wrong.
I think the basis could be that the newer trains were too light to stay sunk, being made of a material that is lighter yet stronger. Also it so happens that construction details matter. The article cites corrugation, which allows panels to be lighter yet just as strong. The article also cites spot welding. You can weld together steel panels in many ways, and the article doesn't say how the Redbird cars were constructed, except there's an implication that there's no spot welding. The Titanic was made of "iron" as the dramatized architect said in the movie, but he seems to speak poetically [1][2]. The ship hasn't quite dissolved like an aspirin.

This is a great analogy.
Ask HN: Why is there so little 4K content?
In the US, the Super Bowl is a few weeks away and will not be broadcast in 4K. Besides the streaming services or games, there’s virtually no 4K content/broadcasted. Why is that the case in 2022?
HN: big tech companies should contribute more to open source!

Also HN: no, not like that!
I shouldn't take that personally, but I manage Tanium and my experience doesn't mirror yours.

That said, I know they have some HUGE deployments in the Military and my piddly little 25000 client install may not be comparable.
Thanks. Says that "While a probability at this level is not
generally considered to be highly significant, it does suggest that the clump is real."
> DEFINITELY say what you are doing. And then say why.

My favored github PR template has 3 sections:

- What does this PR do?
- Why is that valuable?
- Link to bug tracker.
Well, some publishers are careful to note the distinction between `allegations` and `accusations` while others do not. Then there's the word `indictment` which I always assumed meant something after the fact but is instead actually defined as a "formal (lega) charge of an accusation".
Carbon Steel is the name of "regular", non-alloy steel.

And w.r.t. the SS thing, i think the carbon steel got to be thicker because of expected corrosion while the SS (that still can oxidize, albeit at a much slower rate) is significantly thinner, therefore getting disintegrated more easily.

It really isn't worded very well in TFA tho, i may be misunderstanding.

I use only arm images with Docker but I get 100% CPU on my m1 ; on top it says Docker - 100%. Usually it takes a while (few hours) to go from 5% to 100% but it always gets there and the only way to stop it is shutdown Docker desktop and starting it again. It also crashes quite a lot (docker ps will then say Docker is not running and I have to restart Docker desktop to get it back as well). I really like the hardware on this machine but I'm contemplating selling it and getting a Frame.work with Linux just to get rid of this pain. It is a far faster & smoother experience on my 11 year old X220 with Linux than on this m1. I am not sure why this happens; I see many more people have it but there seems to be no clear reason?

Does this help or is the issue lower level?
I get a dozen or so emails weekly from recruiters asking if I'm available. Often, it's clear that the sender has no idea about my background and is just using what I call a "spray and pray" strategy for finding candidates for their job.

I have a Gmail filter in place that looks for keywords in incoming mail ("urgent requirement", "formatted resume", etc) and sends a canned response which includes my Nectr profile. In my profile they can see if I'm available, my rate, whether my skills are really a fit for their position.

I’m subscribed to some CUDA email list with weekly updates.

One thing that strikes me is how it evolves with new features. Not just higher level libraries, but also more fundamental, low level stuff, such as virtual memory, standard memory models, c++ libraries, new compilers, communication with other GPUs, launching dependent kernels, etc.

At their core, OpenCL and CUDA both enable running parallel computing algorithms on a GPU, but CUDA strikes me as much more advanced in terms of peripheral features.

Every few years, I think about writing a CUDA program (it never actually happens), and investigate how to do things, and it’s interesting how the old ways of doing things has been superseded by better ways.

None of this should be surprising. As I understand it, OpenCL has been put on life support by the industry in general for years now.
Forgive me for asking a potentially silly question, but wouldn't the heat dissipating via IR be also seen as wasted energy? I understand that at our current level of physics, to do anything less would involve catastrophic heat build up but I would suspect an alien species capable of building a Dyson Swarm to have access to other means of keeping the temperature stable whilst leaving very little energy to go to waste.
Great article!

Though perhaps one of the things downplayed is how often food is an expression of love. Most frequently, the love of the person making it for the one eating it. But, also the love of sharing a family or cultural recipe with a wider audience and passing that love on to strangers, who may in turn pass it on.

My memories of happy times and happy places are often linked to food. The first time I had a courgette (my Italian friend making a simple recipe from his village), the taste of popping candy as a kid, my mum's roast dinner, and eating Nasi Goreng in Malaysia and giant garlic prawns in Lombok on my honeymoon!

In my family - food has always been a way to show your love.
And in those larger companies, just paying for the "coffee a month" may not be an option, since they insist all licenses are company owned and it's less effort to change my docker VM wrapper than get shit past my company's purchasing department in a reasonable amount of time.
Oh yeah, the best thing to dispel impressions of quackery definitely are "excited" responses like yours.
You might have as well written "please continue practicing your recorder flute as an adult, it is really quite fascinating."

At some point you have read the instructive books you needed to read and solidified the principles you want to live by. Anything after that is whimsical personal recreation, raising the question why we waste money forcing children to do it. Because English teachers believe their little hobby deserves a larger audience?
