To all the questions about including costs, the only blog I've ever come across that was transparent and honest about costs of building a custom home was Mike Davidson in http://ahousebythepark.com/journal/

Granted this was 2010-2012 on a super-desirable WA plot, and inflation has probably 2-3x'ed, but still, it's a very interesting read and a good model for how to disclose costs and still maintain a modicum of humility.

> Would you sometimes take a break from programming to go help accounting do the accounting work? No, no you wouldn't - accounting would smack the tar out of you. Just because you think you can contribute because you used to be able to is the notion that you need to break, and this applies to other fields too.

As a counter-argument to this: With my software side business, I've had to dabble in accounting, and I find it a refreshing break. It's like going outside and pulling some weeds. For me it contributes to my productivity and mental health to have a diverse work experience.
I find people confusing arguments with mere assertions.

If there's no train of logic, no explanation, no underlying data, why are we pretending the individual is trying to engage in a honest discussion?

There is no arguing the authority of papal edicts with a devout papist, modern civilization long ago learned it was fruitless to try.

If someone trades in ungrounded declarations instead of propositions that one can attempt to "ground", there is no argument made and thus no "sides" to discuss.

Many people like to argue for the sake of arguing and it's a waste of time.

I'm not the biggest fan of Jeff Bezos but this is clickbait. They're (the city) temporarily dismantling a portion of the bridge to get the yacht out. Rotterdam is a city well known for shipbuilding and it brings a lot of money and jobs into the city as far as I can tell.
When person A has been working on a technical problem for some time, they may have a greater awareness of the context than person B that's just heard about the problem. If A has the contextual knowledge but poor communication skills, they may forgo the high-level discussion that B needs to adequately understand the problem, or the system as a whole.

B needing that high-level discussion doesn't mean B isn't a good developer, and A being narrowly focused on implementation details doesn't mean A isn't a good developer. But they both need to be able to meet each other in the middle to be most productive.
55 saves lives.

I'm not sure that it it does based on accident statistics, and probably the best thing they could do to increase road safety is to remove the truck speed limit in my state, either let everyone go 70mph or everyone go 60mph, but don't intentionally increase interactions between cars and trucks by giving them different speed limits.

One thing 55mph does do is help with gas mileage. I drive a hybrid and get around 48 mpg at 55mph and 41 mpg at 70mph. This is a relatively aerodynamic sedan, I'd imagine that the difference is even greater for trucks and big SUV's.

HN is extremely vulnerable to certain types of trolling (or certain types of bad posts that may be earnestly meant but are indistinguishable from trolling) and these can be coupled with a shitload of passive-aggression before moderators step in (often to censure the person who's finally had enough of that crap). Some of the choices made in the design of the community, like downplaying individual identity so reputations develop less easily (compare with, say, forums that prominently display images or signatures for users that are easy to distinguish at a glance and easier to remember thread-to-thread) and the very decorum-promoting rules themselves make it nearly impossible to do anything about this.

Founder CEO of LEAH Labs here. Our pilot studies in dogs with cancer are slated to start in April.

We're first focused on the unmet need for dogs and working to build the first companion animal health company founded on gene editing expertise. That said, our platform is also built with human medicine in mind, as dog and human cancers are quite analogous to one another. We envision using spontaneous cancers in pet dogs as pre-IND or IND-enabling models for novel human cell therapy development. Also, CAR-T in dogs is regulated by the USDA, not the FDA, which helps us do all of this quicker and significantly more cost-effective.

Happy to discuss what we're up to :)
Serious work can be as little as searching for something and reading content. No reason why a web browser can not do this - in fact it was built for this purpose.

Of course the lunatic cult existed before, but none of my relatives were at risk of getting suckered into the John Birch Society orbit before about 2010. And it seems like the PRC has been repressing Uighurs in Xinjiang since well before TikTok, and I doubt the leadership circles in China are swapping dance videos about the subject.

This is not to say TikTok is some wonderful, innocent thing. But the harm done by it compared to Facebook is just not remotely comparable, at least not yet, and that may be partially due to the nature of what the platform pushes and to whom.
I wonder if this was placed in a way to pre-empt later limits/cancellations, with that sort of detail in the contract? Should such an order be subject to public document inspection as a right(possibly with $$ redaction for 'competitive' purposes?).

> If you define caring as expressing passive concern in comment boards

No, caring describes one's personal thought process, which may then be reflected on comment boards and elsewhere. I can believe that oil extraction needs to be reduced to mitigate climate change, and even more fundamentally that the amount of work in general should decrease so the productivity gains of technology accrue to wider society, while still lamenting specific losses of jobs creating individual suffering as workers lose their existing purpose and become less able to support themselves. In fact I'd say the tendency to turn off such empathy in favor of simplistic one-sided narratives is the root of our political polarization.

> If a small business depends on a surveillance infrastructure and removing the infrastructure negatively impacts the business

The more plausible explanation is that small business revenue has gone down due to the pandemic (as widely covered), which has caused them to spend less on advertising (a straightforward way of budgeting is as a fixed percentage of profit/revenue), which has cut Faceboot's revenue. Faceboot is then blaming this downturn on increased privacy, hoping to garner some sympathy while distracting from a fundamental downturn in their market.

As I said, you're prematurely celebrating the surveillance industry's demise by buying into its own narrative. The advertising industry has a history of painting anything that might reduce their invasiveness as an existential threat, and yet the leeches are still here and drinking as much blood as ever.
I'm not convinced it's pandemic related. Over time, the signal to noise ratio of any public group decreases, or else it turns into an oligarchic gated community. I keep a kind of running list of users with whom I've had conflict, and I've come to the conclusion that either:

1) There are a whole lot of bot type accounts here, developed over many years.

2) The "Endless September" effect has brought down the level of discourse.

Wish I could get my hands on a larger data set than what I've been able to collect manually, but I can't help but notice in my casual sampling that there are a large number of user accounts here that have been created within approximately the past 6 years that have very low karma, float in and out over weeks and months (IE: not regular commenters) and who when they do show up, act in deliberately negative and aggressive ways, often posting bursts of comments in short order. It's very bot-like.

The other thing I've noticed is that even the crowd that I can identify as human, has changed considerably over the decade. It seems to me like in the past there were a lot more entrepreneurs and technical people with significant seniority. It feels like the age of the crowd is much younger now, and let's be blunt... there are reasons that stereotypes exist around 20-something techie young (predominantly) men as being arrogant and having few social graces. In this regard, HN has become a reflection of its commenters.

If I could find another place with the diversity of interesting topics found here, I'd go elsewhere. The discourses here is seldom pleasant, and hasn't been for a number of years. It's a step above what Slashdot was back in the day, but not by much.
So, what’s the chance this is faked (not the photos, but the device) by the US Air Force?

The venerable lodev tutorial uses this method, which I also used for most of my engines. I learned an interesting tidbit while comparing the two methods though:

The old-school original methods used pretty small cos/sin/atan lookup tables to do the ray and then the correction calc. Using the linear method you end up with a couple divisions per ray that aren't there in the lookup method. Divisions were (and are, depending on the platform) pretty slow. Linear method still works with lookup tables but they're relatively huge.

Also IIRC With the linear method door-indents need a workaround.
The more articles predict continued doom and gloom, the more optimistic I become. Simply because that heuristic has made a fine Bayesian prior for most of my life.
I am a Star Citizen backer, and have been since 2015. I have over $1200 spent in this game (over the course of the last 7 years). My most expensive, and longest held ship, the Orion, is not flyable yet. Yet, I regret absolutely nothing.

Its funny how you guys are saying "Why isnt it released yet", without also acknowledging that every single game that has "released early" has been a massive dumpster fire. Not to even mention that, CIG have literally had to create new tech out of thin air to accomplish their goals. The feats of strength CIG have pulled off are already huge.

They have created an in-game solar system, with full size planets, that you can fly around, walk around, with no loading screens, anywhere. They have created tech that allows artists to procedurally create planets, at will. Their Quantum AI simulation aims to be the largest, and deepest AI simulation in gaming history.

Couple this, with that CIG is really making two games. Star Citizen, and Squadron 42. Granted, we havent seen a whole lot of SQ42, but it is there.

Anyone that claims Star Citizen is a scam is hoping for its destruction and is being disingenuous. CIG is extremely transparent that this is not a finished product, and that you are buying a PLEDGE. They call the people who buy their pledges BACKERS. They literally make you click the box saying you understand that. They also publish a Roadmap and a Release Tracker, which they regularly make good on. However, certain top of line features are pushed so the teams can work on other things, and the hugely invested player base just wants to play the game that they enjoy with new stuff because they know that CIG is creating something special.

Look at the progress, and content added to the Persistent Universe over the years. We went from having just Port Olisar (PO), to PO and surrounding POIs, to PO/POIs to nearby moons that we couldnt land on, to PO/POIs nearby moons that we could land on, and so on. They added mining, missions, trading, hauling, bounty hunting, hacking, fps combat, even illegal drug smuggling. They have added hundreds of ships, ship weapons, and handheld weapons combined. Currently, Star Citizen has a larger weapon variety than Battlefield 2042. They have added 4 entire planetary systems including 4 major new cities, 4 major ports, several moons, all with their own points of interest. All without any loading screens whatsoever.

They even have a fucking convention every year called CitizenCon where they unveil a bunch of stuff they have been working on. In one of the latest ones, they showed off jumping to a whole new system.

Also what about their YouTube channel which has literally thousands of videos showing their progress over the years? Does that count for anything?

But no, its def a scam. Or, and more likely, its a game that a lot of people believe in, like myself. I would rather give $1200 to CIG for a moonshot game, that has the potential to be genre defining, than give it to scumbags like EA, Activision/Blizz, Ubisoft, etc, who release broken cash-games.

If SC is a scam, its the worst run scam in history.
$10M is in my opinion the optimal amount.

It’s enough to guarantee an upper middle class life style without having to work, but it’s not enough to make it wise to start wasting it on hedonistic crap (boats, multiple mansions, …), so it will keep you grounded.

That’s the goal I’m striving for, hopefully I’ll be there in a few years.
I agree that the average Dane's life has been more affected (I live in Denmark). I am also not in any way a China basher. I have just experienced how fast it goes when Omicron gets a toehold. I don't believe they can keep it up. And more importantly, why? If very few people get seriously ill, why are economically destructive policies justified. I've felt that way from the beginning of the pandemic.

Were they timed to make it reasonable to go directly from n to n+1 or did you have to shift to neutral, wait, then upshift?

I have a not-so-old Audi with a known-bad gearbox w/ faulty synchros and because it is a turbo you really can’t upshift in that band when/where the gears are lined up without losing too much power so I have learned to time how long I should wait in neutral (for the RPMs to drop) before completing the upshift. Non-sequential downshifting after slowing down from a higher gear is much harder though - you really have to play it by ear based off the sound/RPMs and the current speed both. And it’s a six speed with considerably less slop than the old Beetles used to have.
Seeking remote internships or full-time work.

Location: India

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Bash, POSIX sh, Go, Python, C, Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Nix / NixOS, Sed, Awk

Resume/CV: https://www.kayg.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Plaintext.pdf

Email: mail@kayg.org

Graduated in August 2021 with a Bachelor degree in IT, I am a Linux System Administrator and Devops from India, looking for full-time remote work.

I have been hosting a bunch of FOSS services on my domain since 2019, most of them are open to public use, free of charge. My whole infrastructure is containerized with Docker and managed with NixOS. My infrastructure is open-source: https://gitlab.com/kayg-infra

I have experience with Docker, Podman and Kubernetes, with an increasing knowledge of Nix / NixOS which I think is one of the cleanest imaginations of infrastructure as code.

In 2020, I worked under Debian as part of the GSoC internship to create systemd unit translator which reads services, sockets and timers and converts them into scripts for OpenRC. Previously, I have worked with IDS Logic to setup and manage infrastructure and deploy services such as GitLab and Moodle.

I think your comment sounds a bit biased that’s all. If you share some light - happy to accept the points raised.
There's a two year difference between measurements, as described in the quoted part of the above comment. Cars didn't change that much in those two years*, nor did everyone go out and buy new cars.

* Airbags were already mandated in the U. S. at that point, and though I oddly can't find a reference, I believe anti-lock brakes were mandatory at that point, too.
The justification that my GC hinges on has been approved. As long as I don't commit any crimes while I-485 processing churns, it's essentially a done deal. And I've done all the medical stuff already.

I'm even allowed to freely leave the country without abandoning my application.

See also: the feds recent hijacking of the covid-test market, in order to start the delivery program.

The result was a month of people needing tests, but couldn't find them. While the feds prepared to mail them out 4 at a time to people who, if symptomatic, were likely to be either fully recovered by the time they arrive, or for severe cases, already under medical care.

Delivery time of a week means you have to order them before you know you might need them. Being "free", there's a rational reason to order speculatively, even if you don't currently need them. And no cost to reduce momentary demand so that people who do currently need them (enough to go to the trouble to pay for them and get reimbursed by insurance) can get them, as happens with store distribution.

Perfect example of a market operating efficiently, where un-needed "do-something" govt intervention creates artifical shortages, distributes irrelevant to current need, while reducing efficiency in both availability (same day vs week+) and quantity (delivered 4 at a time vs getting 1 at the store).

Would you need to if they can move at 36cm/s ?
Yes. There are some social groups that still use it (“no practice today”) but the novelty has gone and the youngsters have moved on. If the value of the graph increases exponentially with users, each user leaving causes a disproportionate value drop.
