I have a suggestion: I read Ulysses about ten years ago and liked it but really didn’t get that much out of it. About five years ago, I tried Ulysses again, listening to it as an Audible audio book with several skilled actors speaking the roles. That was great! I then also listened to Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in audiobook form and enjoyed it much more than reading it in school 50 years ago.
With my cat (I've got the buttons, haven't done anything with them yet) its would be useful to find out if he wants food, attention, or is complaining about the water bowl or litter box.

Even being able to distinguish those would be a "win".

I always ran my dishwasher on the three hour power wash program because nothing would get clean otherwise. Then I watched this video and started using powder. Now the normal program works fine every time.
It's because you have to pay really close attention to tell if it's real or hype. It's really easy to make a cool demo in machine learning, cherrypick outputs, etc.
I’m shocked this kind of post is written, and there are so many comments, yet no one has mentioned spatial references. Not a single time. When you understand the underlying complexity of spatial references/datums/coordinate systems the deviation in library choices isn’t surprising.

Aside: If you are using a modern language (like C#) you can just use parameter labels and avoid this whole mess by being explicit each time. Underscores as separators in numeric literals are also pretty neat if you ever need to hard-code a scale or lat/lon for some reason.

Some of the libraries under complaint only support WGS84 (basically what anyone using GPS thinks of when they say lat/lon). If you have never seen a coordinate from anything other than GPS or Google Maps, then it would seem strange that someone would expect coordinates in x,y.

Other libraries support a wide variety, including projected (rather than geographic) coordinate systems where x,y is more appropriate (WebMercator, for example). Libraries like Google Maps never expose the underlying xy coordinates, but others will.

State plane coordinates, for example of widely-used xy system: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Plane_Coordinate_Syste...

> This could not possibly be true.

The novelty you experience when doing something new must decrease over time. To say otherwise is to say the world is infinite, which it definitely is not.

At some point the buzz one gets from the novelty of new experiences is not enough to make a satisfying life. That's when it's time to look for source of meaning for your life.

It's different for everyone. For me and the OP it happened rather quickly.

Before I clicked the post I thought it was your system. Don't know if I can call your comment system "cheapskate" though, but I already told you I like it!
Oh, I didn't know! I thought you meant that the claim that there were literally zero people who thought they were corruptible was shockingly dumb, and I agreed, even though (construed literally) it's what I had said. Thanks for clarifying!

Since when was the efficiency of how a group protested used to determine the validity of a protest? Slacktivism, or using social media to protest, generally costs participants nothing in the way of comfort. Neither does walking in a street on a beautiful day in the summer chanting one’s beliefs. Is there any video evidence of honking horns all night? I’ve read on Twitter that they stop honking at 10PM because they are not protesting the Ottawa citizens. This is a legitimate protest by workers and the side that is usually pro-worker seems to be siding with the government because the intent of the protest has been declared wrong-think by the PM.

A subwoofer.

No matter how high end your headphones, bookshelf speakers, or studio monitors are, they will never be able to punch you in the chest in quite the same way as a decently sized dedicated subwoofer.

It's a night-and-day difference for listening to music and watching movies, or even just listening to human voices in youtube videos.

Just, be careful not to bother your neighbours with it.
For me, my mental/spiritual/emotional health needed to come first. All my problems around life centered around unconscious turmoil that I wasn't facing. Its my believe that health problems start on a emotional/mental level which has a lot to do with the choices I make.

For me, I really needed to work on resolving my early inner trauma that I carried with me throughout my life.

>Individual experience reports are nice, yet it does not really account to a decent study.

On the other hand, the latter are rare, and you don't even know it they're decent (lots of "landmark" studies get debunked years or decades later).
While I agree with the sentiment of your first point, in practice if each small business were expected to audit every one of their inputs, it would be hard to get any business done.

As for your second point, yes, that is precisely what I referred to in my original post - that we could deal with the end of IDFA / that we just want to make sure ads are effective - SKAN which provides aggregated statistics is mostly ok for us.
You hydrostatic test them at a multiple of their working pressure.

This uses water instead of steam. If something lets go, the energy released is relatively small.
Smoking is also terrible for your social life, unless you only prefer the company of smokers. Most of my childhood friends became weed/cigarette addicts. For my own well-being, I had to stop being in contact with them.

I've been building systems for years in numerous places. Have you never experienced a political situation where a decision is made in these systems you describe as beautiful and poetic, that is not your own and yet due to organisational structures you must obey? I am curious given your attachment how you handle these. They're standard political issues in organizations larger than a few people.
This is a repost of a blog that I found to be incredibly illuminating for an experienced programmer learning modern web development. The original discussion is here:

You are ignoring the fact that Russia already invaded Ukraine. NATO hasn't done anything but being defensive.

Just like Russia was the first to tries to arm Cuba in 1960. Difference is, we are reacting to actual and consistent threats by Russia. Current situation just is another proof it's necessary.

And that NATO is obviously also the EU.

It's literally Russia that wants the US involved, since he wants to speak with Biden.

Russia made it US business, just like they want China involved to make a counter argument against NATO.

Here's a joint press release from China and Russia: http://en.kremlin.ru/supplement/5770?s=08

Ps. Because of Russia 's previous actions, i highly doubt anything with that related is going through.

Putin is just using his leverage while he still has it.

Europe is now buying US shale because of it ( = Russian actions). I may hope the pipeline never gets used.

And as a EU citizen where the main port just got hacked, i want to move from Russian gas much faster. I don't care about the costs and short term problems.

Ps. The treaty expired and is now "new start". You are free to point me to where the "demilitarized zone" section is :)
Something similar has been discussed in the past "Extruding Ice from Steel Fences and Pipes with Diurnal Freeze/Thaw" http://my.ilstu.edu/~jrcarter/ice/diurnal/extrude/ , but most of the links are dead :( :( :(

That is my understanding as well. One reason I ask is that such laws would require cooperation between governments and agreements ahead of times around processes and procedures. I am curious if such agreements exist and to what extent such processes are in place.
Assuming that this got down-voted because it says "contaminated", whereas the other posts here suggest that it's often used intentionally--or at least with indifference--as an ingredient.

From the opposite point of view, many people consider themselves lucky that coworkers who decided to opt out are expelled/fired.

The focus should be on whether a given imposition has a net positive for society or not, rather than the imposition itself. I actually find it very indicative that the root comment's conclusion is entirely about the ROI for the individual.

It's fair to judge that not boosting doesn't have any net positive for society, but that discussion should be the focus.
Thanks for the sanity check! Yeah, my napkin math was showing a very high resolution without any floats needed. I'm happy to hear it's been done before. It's going to ultimately come together as a GUI (it's a set of scripts so far) so fortunately I don't need to interface with any other software.

The debugging aspect may be a bit annoying I'll admit. Before printing you'd need to constantly convert your u_ints to degrees to make sense of them.

The main problems I'm seeing so far is that lon spans 360 and wraps around cleanly, but lat spans 180.. and when you go past the pole you don't actually wrap anywhere (you don't wanna jump to the other pole :)). What actually happens is that you end up on a different longitude. I'm not sure how to work around that. But then maybe you don't need to b/c that scenario shouldn't come up - while crossing the pacific will. At the moment I'm primarily shooting to select rectangular regions and then extract data (like elevation or precipitation) in those regions. Such a region could cross a meridian/equator - but it wouldn't make sense for it to go past the pole

On the JVM unsigned code is going to be a lot clunkier to write, but I'm hoping in the end it'll save me a ton of time debugging edge cases
> private schools

From your description, it seems like what would really help is better policies and approach to public schools. Assuming that private schools would tend to pick better educational approaches seems flawed to me.
"you can’t get an injunction to prevent someone from publishing something."

You can't, in theory.

In practice this sort of thing happens all the time. I had a judge issue a clearly unconstitutional order limiting my speech (there was no action on my part leading up to this, it was a broad order applying to more than just me). My lawyer's take was that while it was clearly not allowed, it wasn't particularly important so best to just ignore it.

It's really, really common.
Since nobody has commented yet, in 3D land, Unreal the game used y for depth and z for height.

So to this day in UE5 y is depth and z is height. This causes fun inconsistencies with all other 3D apps.
Amazing stuff for sure. Looking at the example on page 59, though, I certainly see a description that contains sufficient information to implement against. I read this, and then I jump back into the tech spec that I'm writing to find:

(1) The product specification and use cases are so poorly defined that I need to anticipate the use cases, design a system that is general enough to accommodate them, and implement it in a way that is easily changeable to accommodate the future departures from my assumptions.

(2) As I do this, I need to consider the existing systems that I'm building on top of to ensure there is no regression when this feature rolls out

(3) I consider the other teams that are doing similar work and make judgement calls about whether to write independent systems that do one thing each, or to collaborate on a general-enough system with multiple team ownership.

(4) The tech that I use to implement this must be within the narrow slice of company-sanctioned tech.

(5) I weigh constant tradeoffs on speed to market, maintainability and ownership.

I'm sure there's more, but this stuff is _hard_. If autonomous driving for white collar work is coming, as put forth by comments here, I'd like to see indications that the actual hard part of the job is in jeopardy of being executed effectively.

Maybe I don't want to believe it, so I can't see it. I'll grant that. But I truly do not see it.
Too many regulations. There are basically none in computing compared to everything else, which means that all it takes to do something new is a Hacker with an obsession.

The Covid Vax was sent to the first round of testing before the disease showed up in the US. If we all the tests weren't legally required, many people wouldn't have died.

More than 900.000 dead. 2977 died on 9/11, so this delay is more 100 times worse.

Now imagine this, but for everything.

We need something to replace bureaucracy.

After reading some of the all-bot https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ that OP links to... many of the comments right here in this HN thread are starting to look like bots to me too. Have people actually sic'd bots on this thread, or am I just over-triggering now?

Crap, now my own comment is starting to look like a bot to me.

This may be a testament to the very low bar set by internet forum/social media discussion, maybe we humans all write uninspired generic word salad comments all the time.

It's a bit disappointing to see "mathematically optimal" in the title when the strategy is based on a heuristic (granted, a very intuitive and effective one). For actual optimality results this article is good: https://www.poirrier.ca/notes/wordle-optimal/

In particular, max entropy heuristic + beam search will derive the optimal (now proven) strategy in terms of minimizing expected number of guesses

I installed the VSCode and PyCharm CoPilot plugins, and signed in with my GitHub account (you first need to request CoPilot access and wait until you get it).

As you type in comments or code, CoPilot will sometime autocomplete up to about 10 lines of code, based on the content of the file you are editing (maybe just the code close to the edit point?).

My other tools? I use LispWorks Professional, Emacs with Haskell support, and sometimes IntelliJ. I work a lot on remote servers so I depend on SSH/Mosh and tmux also.
Wow, that is a nice idea!

Fair tax. I live in a country where persons must pay high tax. But companies (big) are doing all sorts of "tricks" and pay zero.
I have no problems paying tax myself and have huge benefit from that kind of system (health care).
But it is infuriating to see huge corps paying zero year after year. So somehow it should be easy to spot such companies and then avoid them.
What you are missing is the fact that Google is protecting rights against the state; but they could just as easily decide to give up all the data instead of anonymizing and parsing it for them.

When corporations are holding the privacy line against the state, there are wolves in the pasture.
A democratic government is a government built and run for the 51%. Technically, pure anarchy is the only form of government that is for the people by the people because... theres only the people. Not some entity set above and beyond the reaches of 'The people', with authority over the people. Not that i believe in anarchy as the epitome of governance, but Bakunin has left me slightly jaded ever since i read him in high school.

I would agree with you that a free society is one that protects peoples rights. But... somewhere along the lines of social media and virtue signaling, protecting peoples right slowly transformed from the 'No-Harm principle' to 'Comply with X_Dogma or be canceled!'. This tendency has stiffled debate, taken away rights and shown the deep flaws in the democracy of a mob. Atleast in the US and the UK, these power structures that we have put in place are not for the people but are for the politicians within that government. If you are a democratic aspiring politician showing you can enforce paternalistic arguments among your populace is the key path to power.

in Democracy, as soon as you put someone in 'Power', the path instantly diverges between 'By the people' and 'I think therefore i am'. With the creation of an institution, it becomes an entity in it's own right. It believes that since the people bestowed this power upon them, it is their moral responsibility to protect the people.

Case in point - Smoking cigs are bad for your health and 80% of the people agree... So lets ban cigarettes!

While we are on this topic, everyone agrees that endlessly scrolling instagram is also bad, so let's put a time limit on social media - Everyone gets an hour a day!

Since this pandemic thing can happen again at any time, we might as just wear our masks forever. It's a minor inconvenience, but think of how many lives you can save!

Also, this whole Covid thing really showed that there are deadly things out there that we don't understand, and since vaccine effectiveness does not seem to resonate with people we are going to break into your house and force jab ya! Oh, Vaccine effectiveness waning... Well we designed this cocktail of immunities! Mandatory for any employees in a company over 1!

Also, since we are on the discussion of democracy... Do you think we can slide in alittle bill that says all mexicans gotta go back to Mexico? Think we can get 51% of the population to agree with the "We have put a man on the moon, we can build a fence!"

... Default::default("more racist, paternalistic, irrational arguments that democracy can concoct")
Fun fact: dogs bark primarily to communicate with humans. Wolves (undomesticated dogs) don’t really bark. And you wouldn’t likely see a pack of dog barking at each other. But humans are keenly able to tell what a dog is trying to express by the different sounds it makes. This is all a result of the convolution between the two species.

Pharma companies get away with way too much. No other industry could you sell products that only slightly work as advertised for some people, some of the time. But charge everyone same, with no refunds when the product doesn't work. And you can't even sue if it causes you harm.

The new development to use the power of the courts and government to mandate their use should give you pause.

The Democrats would vote for that if it wasn’t part of a massive corporate and high income tax cut. Do you think Republicans would support the Democrats’ CTC measures if it were on its own?

The Republicans aren’t necessarily against spending for these sorts of things but only when they’re in control. Their first principle is to prevent Democratic “wins”, even if it means screwing over children.
