To me they mean the same thing.

If there's a difference, I've somehow missed out on learning what it is after >20 years in industry/academia and that lack of knowledge has never been a problem.

I honestly don't care about titles. I don't even know what mine is without looking it up.

>United States Person. United States person means United States citizens (including minor children); United States residents; entities, including but not limited to, corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; and trusts or estates formed under the laws of the United States.

They also changed how it loads new tweets for logged-in users. Now it shows something like "Show 36 Tweets" and jumps back to the top of the timeline by clicking on it.

They crippled Twitter on the web with these changes because going back to the old position on my timeline has become too tedious. Consequently, I spent less time on Twitter.

I think that for a long time the average non SV consumer had the mentality of “I’m not paying a monthly fee for that crap” when it came to online stuff but all the streaming services have shifted that and it’s more normal now to pay a small monthly fee for little subscriptions of everything imaginable. So, my wild guess is that Google is seeing that culture change and realizes it’s now a good time to join everyone else and finally start milking it directly. Probably not accurate but I could see that being part of the conversation.
So I read that this is good news for ITER.

Sorry for the noob question but there is something I do not understand. I thought ITER design was more or less decided now as they are building it. Should I understand that they started building ITER without really knowing where they were going to go and are using JET experiment as a way know how to build ITER?

Well, if we are whopping them out on the table... 75.1K over the three I've used most, and a few thousand over a couple of others. Been around since the start, even got sent free shirts & bits in the early days for being in the top [what-ever-the-cutoff-was] on SF, SO, & DBA.SE.

I wouldn't mind if they stopped providing those dumps, I was just passing on that others suggest that they could (and by rights, they could, but I doubt they will, as my post (I though) said).

As long as the data stays available (just on the main sites is fine by me) under a CC BY-SA I'll keep contributing. They can't revoke the license for existing content, if they change it for future content (for the avoidance of doubt: I have no reason to believe they have any plans to) or the sites otherwise devolve (like others have in the past with rampant tracking and ads) I'll probably bugger off.
Travel is key because, if you do it slowly enough with eyes open, it shows you what universal properties human societies tend to have in all their incarnations and just how beautiful nature, history, art and other things lying outside of the daily grind are. Importantly, particularly if you are young, it distances you from the familiar environment, society, family and friends, and thus releases your inhibitions and allows you to grow in new ways. Done right, travel is novel experience - definitely not endless flights and generic hotels. After your first foreign rendezvous, sunrise, sunset, new way of cooking a familiar ingredient, new instrument, sport, museum, language or revolution, "home" may just seem ... dull.

It's not a binary thing. It's not either they work together or they don't.

Under a common block, trading or otherwise, things are just easier and much closer together.

Consider only visas, travel and employment, the complications of these brought by Brexit, already distanced any existing and future collaborations by some measure.

There is still collaboration of course, and there will be, but it's not what it was before.

And this negative trend of distance in collaboration is more worrying in an increasingly threatening environment.
As with tobacco, giving it up is not as easy as saying it.

We can do without it if it was just switched off, but everyone else who is using it, is itself a reason to be part of it.
There's no difference at all, at least in the US. The two job titles are entirely synonymous. Anyone who tries to argue otherwise is just lying to themselves to feel smarter.

It's limited to 128kbs music files, but having a bluetooth that works flawlessly is more important to me.
I do something similar but it doesn't help me with the built in microphone in the laptop. I'd have to disassemble the bezel and possibly snip a wire. It's much easier to Macgyver disable a webcam than a Microphone, even if you've got one of those webcams that can see through plastic with infrared. Best I can do so far is disable the device in device manager.

Although I wonder if the bios on this HP let's you disable it...

Sort of. My kids love to play outside. They didn't have tablets and didn't use the computer. A great regret I have now is that during the pandemic we eventually let them play with iPads and got them Minecraft on a donated xbox. We've had to limit their use considerably, but it's still an unfair competition. Learning, exploring, playing outside offers gratification in a different way. On Minecraft he turns it on and 20 seconds later they're in this wonderful magical world where he is some sort of superhero. Imagine if they also had twenty other games to choose from? I really regret letting the genie out of the box. Wish I had waited some years more. Now their time is quite limited, but they've felt how instantly gratifying it is, and are always asking for it, whereas before, they just asked to go swimming, or take a walk in the woods, or build legos, or a dozen other awesome activities.

edit: just to add, they still do lots of outside stuff, but it's not like before.

The code generated by gcc in this case is just bad.

It is known that gcc fails to do "if conversion" in many cases when it should.

The correct code using the CMOV instruction and only a single computation of the expression could easily be written with inline assembly.

However, if inline assembly is used, there is a much simpler solution using the carry flag, which was presented at the end of the article that started this thread.

In reality, all the high level language solutions that have been listed in the article are very bad in comparison with the right solution using inline assembly.

The solution using inline assembly and the carry flag is actually applicable to any CPU, with the minor inconvenient that the mnemonics for the instructions could vary (which can be handled with defined macros), because all have carry flags and on all CPUs this solution will be the shortest and the fastest.

For the high-level solutions, which is the best of them can vary from CPU to CPU, which was my point.
What is stopping one of the major western governments from printing $50B of their own currency and investing it all in an intensive fusion programme?

There doesn’t seem to be much to lose (these economies are already unreasonably inflated) but so much to gain from viable fusion.
Why can't they play outside and learn to code? Does it have to be 100% of the time for any of those two options?
Why? You have a screen, the cameras are so small as to be undetectable, they add safety and they provide much better coverage than mirrors do.

It also enables auto-parking and other enhancements while not inhibiting anyone that wants to perform those functions manually.

Texas has huge and growing wind and solar resources. The entire west half of the state is windy desert. At one point you couldn't drive across I-40 without passing a 100-meter turbine blade convoy every few minutes. It's true that they can't supply the needs of the entire state yet, but wind power is hugely effective in the winter—provided you budget for cold-weather reliability.

It's very possible that in a competently run system, where both renewables and fossil fuels were properly hardened, wind would have meant the difference between blackouts and getting by.
In some jurisdictions like Canada, engineer is a regulated title. Similar to how you couldn't (I think/hope) call yourself a medical doctor or a lawyer in the states without an actual license.

Why Airbus Is Canceling Orders from Qatar Airways, One of Its Best Customers
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child in the early 90s, before smartphones and PCs and all of this "overstimulation". My family has some home videos of school plays where the difference between my behavior and my classmates' is striking - a categorically different level of hyperactity and inattention. I spent a lot of my childhood working around energy and inattention issues. In adulthood the symptoms subdued and got more subtle, harder to spot, but once I knew what to look for, I still checked all the boxes and it can still cause me problems.

ADHD is very real, but just because someone struggles to focus or plan doesn't mean ADHD is the explanation. ADHD's impact is wide-ranging and nuanced, with possible symptoms like "emotional impermanence" (you forget or disbelieve how someone feels about you if they haven't told you very recently), or having "time blindness" (a poor sense of time, where it's hard to process anything more nuanced than "now" and "not now"). And ADHD doesn't always mean you outright "can't" function normally; sometimes you can but it'll just much more draining than for a normal person.

Here's an article I found fascinating about how ADHD brains behave differently at a physical level: https://www.additudemag.com/current-research-on-adhd-breakdo...

The Translating ADHD podcast is pretty good at discussing the lifestyle impact side of ADHD. That's an angle that neurodiversity research literature broadly doesn't cover much.
ITER is doing that, no? Large scale test of fusion energy output.
How much energy was required to start the fusion ?
From a press release geekwire got:

“Between 1/24-1/31, a radio station in the Seattle area sent image files with no extension, which caused an issue on some 2014-2017 Mazda vehicles with older software,” the Mazda statement said. “Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has distributed service alerts advising dealers of the issue.”

The statement goes on to say that “dealers are currently experiencing parts delays due to shipping constraints” and that MNAO plans to “support impacted customers with replacement parts. These customers should contact their local Mazda dealer who can submit a goodwill request to the Mazda Warranty department on their behalf, order the parts, and schedule a free repair when the parts arrive.”

The Mazda representative did not reply to GeekWire’s follow-up questions about what actually malfunctioned in these vehicles and what parts would need to be replaced.
A million hits from 75k views, seems pretty reasonable.

Taking as an example page http://canonical.org/~kragen/memory-models/, the last thing of mine that hit the front page, that's 248.7 KiB, including all the images and other liabilities, so if that were distributed over a single day, that would be about 18 GiB, or 1.8 megabits per second, maybe with a peak of a few times that. The numbers provided here seem pretty comparable, maybe a factor of 2 or 3 bigger.

Things can vary by an order of magnitude or more from this. The HTML of that page is 17 KiB, so bandwidth could be an order lower, and as Õunapuu points out, it's also easy to drop in a few multi-megabyte photos or videos that bulk up a page to 25 or 25 megabytes instead of 0.25. http://canonical.org/~kragen/larvacut.webm is 640×480 × 13 seconds and encodes to 1.8 megabytes.

Which is funny because the first job, at least when I went to npse.org, was "software engineer" at Google. The job description says nothing about actually needing and engineering degree. (There's a Senior Software Engineer one from Chegg on there too).
Nice. Most UI is a state machine. Whether you're explicitly modelling it as such or nor not, doesn't matter.

Excellent work on the side of the XState devs.
> 1) very expensive to do more in betweens

That's maybe a bit native, but for an animated movie, I think that the intermediate frames could be computed automatically, for a small additional cost.

I don't dispute that there might be a bit more work (I guess some frames might need to be adjusted manually), but I am not convinced that it is that much expensive to do 60fps rather of 24fps.
I agree with rare earth theory too, but even with it, the observable universe is so huge that even those tiny fractions of various probabilities should at the end materialize on a massive scale.

And its not like with higher G or some other singular aspect moving into more challenging territory, everything becomes suddenly impossible. Think about how many obstacles mankind could conquer in a relatively short amount of time, say a million years.
After finally watching the movie, well, the best description on the "problem" is that it's childish.

There’s a real dearth of info around coconut fatalities. This 1984 paper examined a 4 year timespan of all trauma-related admissions to one hospital in Papua New Guinea. 9 of them (2.5% overall) stemmed from coconuts. In 3 of the cases, all children, the patients slipped into coma.

From what I’ve read elsewhere (no good links, sorry), coconut injuries worldwide seem to have fallen significantly due to better harvesting practice - the age of a coconut and their chance of falling appear to be linked. While I can’t find a good paper saying this, I do buy it.

So, perhaps not 1:5000, but (at least at one point in time) definitely a risk.
Well, they do:

The latest ITER budget update puts the cost at $65 billion dollar.

And, yes, there's 1 million, 10 million, 100 million and so on grants for smaller scale efforts too, JET being one example.
The rate of growth is defined as log(wealth/starting_wealth)/time, so it's a tautology that maximising it is the same as maximising log utility.
Ask HN: Best practices for synchronous meetings in distributed/remote teams?
I'm a software engineer working in a team distributed across North American and European time zones. Recently we've grown somewhat from a small team (effectively doubling in the past year), and it just seems like we sit in meetings all day now. The best overlap time between time zones seem to coincide with when my brain works best for deep technical work, so I probably haven't gotten any deep technical work done in weeks now.

Are there any good synchronous meeting strategies for such distributed/remote teams that allow for:

1. Maximizing meeting relevance

2. Maintaining social cohesion/team spirit?

In companies I'd worked for in the past, often our best technical and social discussions would happen over coffee or lunch. Now, coffee and lunch happen at very different times for different team members, and we need to be far more deliberate about context sharing and socializing.
I am looking for a SOC with a USB hardware block on a mini-board with a USB-C connector and tons of GPIO pins. The CPU would be a 64bits RISC-V.

Anyone?

I have a few mini boards but with 32bits RISC-V cpus and I would prefer a 64bits cpu because I would share code with desktop/server RISC-V cpus which are/will be 64bits.

I know it is supposed to be easy to write "portable" RISC-V assembly for 32bits and 64bits, but I am not that confident.
Looks awesome. Gotta try it later
Don’t define yourself in terms of your work, as you have no “self” once it stops.

Remember, one works to get the resources to do what you want to do. It has to be useful for this, and ideally interesting enough to go back to tomorrow.

Don’t be an asshole.
Having correct cache headers helps as well, as a single visitor probably comes back to the page fairly often, or visits another page with shared assets. It's surprising how often some things that should be cached come back with headers that make it uncacheable by the browser.

Reminds me of Feynman's anecdote about how math textbooks were evaluated by the Curriculum Commission.

"The reason was that the books were so lousy. They were false. They were hurried. They would try to be rigorous, but they would use examples (like automobiles in the street for "sets") which were almost OK, but in which there were always some subtleties. The definitions weren't accurate. Everything was a little bit ambiguous – they weren't smart enough to understand what was meant by "rigor." They were faking it. They were teaching something they didn't understand, and which was, in fact, useless, at that time, for the child."

It's historically like that in Haskell, and that's how the library defines it. I agree that Result is much clearer, and would love to use it here. But then I would also have to go through how to use Algae to define the type instead of using it out of the box, which would make the article longer.

Similarly with typechecking -- Elixir is dynamically typed, not everyone uses dialyxir, and to bring that whole story inside would also complicate the article.

I plan to continue exploring this space, and perhaps I will slowly understand how to best introduce these ideas to Elixir people correctly, but right now I am just trying to approach it from different kinds of angles. Thank you for the comments. :)

-- Author
The meat of the article seems to be:

> The experiments produced 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds (11 megawatts of power).

> This is more than double what was achieved in similar tests back in 1997.

the rest is an explanation of how fusion works, and some history and challenges.
From the article I gathered that this run was mostly about validating some design choices for ITER, not about pushing output limits.
Couldn't we just say there are levels of quality of developer's output?
He demonstrates being content in the current moment, and being present in that contentment. This doesn't mean emotionless, but does mean recognizing that all states are transient - happy and sad. It also doesn't mean a lack of self-improvement goals, but may mean a lack of material goals. This is my understanding, as a Zen beginner.

"I read all that but like I say, every time I think seriously about it, my cat comes and swipes his tail across my face." In my mind, this is nearly a koan if you meditate on it.

The Walken Koan:
A student approached the master known as 'The Weapon of Choice' while the master was dancing, and interrupted him to ask "Master, I read these many books on Zen, but I am not sure what Zen is. What is Zen?"

The master looked at the student and answered "I read all that but like I say, every time I think seriously about it, my cat comes and swipes his tail across my face." The master then resumed dancing.
Although I agree with the general sentiment of this article-
journalists gravitates towards their career not for the job itself. I think he's making a pure speculation on the "journalists have rich parents" point.

I think it might be something much simpler, like "journalists often can't find another job based on their english-adjacent degree; and the barrier to entry for journalism is very low".

Of course, when the barrier to entry is low- and most candidates are indistinguishable- you hire your friends; which inevitably leads to homogenization.
