Who does this? I have almost all of my furniture from ikea and not a single thing has broken in years of having it. It all seems more structurally sound that high end furniture because ikea is not afraid to use nuts, bolts and metal brackets rather than flimsy wood joinery.
This stood out for me. Does anyone know what it means? I’ve seen electronic roulette wheels, as in on a computer screen, but that can’t be what this means.

And if a tiny ball is bouncing around on a real wheel, which is surely what ‘roulette’ still is to the vast majority of people (because the thing on the TV is no fun at all), how has that “gone digital”?

Edit: maybe “most wheels” have gone digital, as in most punters at most places are happy to play the TV. I dare say it’s quicker and simpler than standing round a table waiting for someone to spin a wheel. Sounds absolutely terrible though. Might as well just play what we call ‘the pokies’ here in Australia.
I really wish Russia would become a peaceful, democratic, economic powerhouse. Russians and east europeans deserve this. I fail to understand why Russians have suffered for so long at the hands of despots and now interlopers with nukes. There must be a better way.
Now it works. Looks like they had some kind of DDoS protection (à la Cloudflare) and their heuristics estimated that my IP was a threat.
I did a quick GitHub search and found two of them:

https://github.com/kurtbuilds/no-ansi

Written in rust and ultimately uses vte from alacritty to write through a virtual terminal. Can be given a file on the command line.

https://github.com/emptymonkey/dumb

Written in Lex and just strips a number of specific escape sequences (written 9 years ago so likely doesn't include a few). Only stdin to stdout.

Edit: And now I see the discussion below about nofun and the equivalent sed command that use regex. ... and reading more I see ansi2txt in colorized-logs (the one most likely to be packaged) that also effectively is a regex, although written out in C.
I think young teenagers feel like they need something to be "special" and fit in, nowadays what is fashionable is a disability, a different gender, live hair color...

They see someone with "something" getting attention, so they will imitate, because they want to be someone

It is like before people felt they needed to belong to a group, goths, populars, punks, hipsters, sport, emos, nerds... Which still exists but that is now to "normative", they want to belong but be different, so they offshoot to the Gothic with pink hair

Which was always a big blunder made by most teenagers minding to much with appearances, wanting to fit in and fearing being called losers. Focusing too much on the external and ignoring what really matters, their aspirations of what they want from life

It seems that now a days we focus on physical differences more than ever, even though we keep fighting for equality. Maybe we forgot to tell that to teenagers. Or maybe it is the hard focus on how can we integrate the ones that are different, minorities, disabilities... Leaving out how to integrate the rest
I dearly hope Google's response starts with the phrase "Dear Russian warship".
Personally I’m seeing a huge uptick in memes on the right that are portraying Putin as some resistance to the globalists and framing that as a good thing. Lots of “US is the real problem not Russia” trolling. Turning every discussion into a deep dive into whataboutism.
Oh, and outside of work I spend a lot of time co-parenting 2 kids, cooking (especially since covid), doing personal projects, practicing guitar, exercising, etc.

Maybe there's some information in here, but this article just comes off as spam. With a website selling "holistic aim therapy", I'm not sure I would trust anything from this site, let alone something presenting as list, clickbait, SEO spam.

Maybe I'm not being fair, as some of those tips seem useful, but I have a built-in mistrust of "listicle" formats with obvious SEO boosting going on.
Incidentally, that does almost nothing according to this article by... Kenji Lopez! https://www.seriouseats.com/old-wives-tales-about-cooking-st...
From the update :

" we've killed this one, the others run away," Yevgeniy told Reuters, pointing to a bloody stain in the snow. "They were some 12-15 people. That's it...They won't take Kharkiv. They have run back to where they came from. They don't have good navigation you see. Nothing works for them. They came and were hiding behind the houses," Yevgeniy said.
Their efforts to retreat appear to have been stopped by another attack. A convoy of vehicles — the same type — is seen on fire in another video.

"And that's how we meet the b** Russian army," someone is heard shouting in the video. "That's how it's going to be for each of them who come to our Kharkiv land."

It's not possible to be absolutely sure that the Russian trucks on fire are the same as those trying to reach the airport, but they are in the same location, are the same type, and bear the same markings."
Did you try any of those hacks through WINE?

Sure, but the question wasn't "will a file dialog open at all" it was "will it open in a weird place". If the app was using gtk and you're running it in a chroot with period-appropriate gtk that gtk file open dialog will probably open just fine, and then it's a matter of if you bind mounted your homedir and /etc into the chroot so it'd know where to go. From there it'll open in approximately as weird (or un-weird) a place as it did in 2007. Like, this isn't a problem almost specifically because x11 isn't trying to do anything very clever here. There's no OpenFileDialog along with an OpenFileDialogEx and OpenFileDialogExtraArgumentsFor2016Ex APIs to keep going. If your program had a file dialog then, it has one now. It's probably just ugly.

As for copy/paste, it is a bit of a mess but it's a mess that works pretty well for this kind of situation. If the copyer and paster windows are in the same x11 context and use the same (widely used) protocol over x11 window properties, they will be able to copy and paste with each other regardless of if they're running natively, in a chroot, in a vm, or on a remote machine.

Incidentally I really miss having the second "select/middle click" copy/paste context when I'm using windows or a mac. It's really frickin' useful and by far more useful than almost any other middle mouse button uses I've ever seen in any non-game. But then I also miss having normal copy/paste in the common linux gui terminal emulators so...
He could also...not work.
> I figured it was the right kind of entrepreneurship to support

You're supporting a scalper. You're teaching him that there's money to be made by positioning yourself as a middle man. There's no value creation here, just value extraction.
Democracy sucks, I want to go to the woods.
The "wasting time" is literally adding three spoons of stuff to flour. (Two for me since I use a full package of baking powder.) It's literally in the 30 seconds range. If you were doing it a lot, you could even pre-mix them in those 30 seconds, and have enough for as many batches as you cared. It's a pretty weird micro-optimization.

You don't learn about how the ingredients work by making one thing from a recipe, but you do if you make a bunch of related things from similar ingredients. On the bread / cake spectrum, one learns to pretty reliably distinguish between things based on leavening agent and if they contain eggs.

Also, I wouldn't say that most above average home cook actually has much interest in cooking. But the average J. Kenji Lopez-Alt fan does. Most people cook because they need to eat. What I'm calling "interest" I'm imagining people where it's at least a hobby -- there's active effort in improving one's understanding of it and technique.
This 2018 Reuters article[1] alleges that although neo-nazis did not make significant inroads politically (at least based on the results of democratic elections), they may have developed connections within law enforcement. That pattern could fit with the articles and events you reference.

You're looking at it purely from the short term perspective of say GPUs, cars etc. as a consumer. Sure, a short term oversupply to drive prices back down to a sane level (or even below sane for a little while) would be a good and healthy thing. That's coming.

However, what the article is talking about is the risk of a longer term oversupply situation at the foundry level. If that happens the result will likely be even more consolidation. The downside to you as a consumer would be lack of innovation and flat to higher prices over time.[1] Once you get below a handful of players in a market, the worse your options as a consumer get.

The fact that browsers never managed to come together to build and integrate a proper emulation layer is truly a shame. I know there's quite a few projects out there, but we really need something built-in the browser.
> the mental model of only doing this analysis because the money happened to be collected in a volatile currency

That's your assumption; why not ask a question instead?

> the decision to hold on to a volatile currency is equivalent to the decision to buy that currency

This conflates a possible comparison based on assumptive logic with a probability based on circumstances you either don't know, haven't introduced, or don't care to ask about. Why do that?
Nim just looks like a dream language to me. It's a fusion of Python and Modula-3 with incredibly expressive macro support (almost as capable as Lisp!) and nifty features like UFCS.

I just wish I had the opportunity to use it. Every time I start working on a personal project, I always default to Python just because I know it well and I know the ecosystem has every library I could want. I need an excuse to write something in Nim.
Btw was just announced that the fund (Oljefondet as it's known as here) will work on withdrawing all investments in Russia.
Fwiw crypto start-up funding was at an all time high in 2021.

That’s why I was curious about which data you’re basing the statement on. Was wondering if it was wallets, inflows, etc.
This is absolutely awesome, I cannot wait to install it on my mac color classic!!
We indeed ended up playing OpenRA, it’s pretty decent and we had a fun time.
This list is awesome. Thanks for posting it!
>>probably aren't really interested in gaming any more, not enough to justify the time cost.

This, basically, which to me I find completely ironic, given that GAMES is literally what got me into computers back in the 80s, ran the Intel Game Lab in the 90s, worked as IT for the company that originally manufactured, packaged and shipped many many games, such as EverQuest, my best friend is an Production Director at Blizzard (with whom I worked for at Intel's game lab) and many other career accolades in the gaming space thats too lame to go into...

Whats weird, is that I ALWAYS have a high-end gaming machine... sans much gaming time...
What are those reserves? How are they supposed to work? Can you store enough reserves to power the town?
Impossible.
Even when where best years of USSR, communists spend about TEN YEARS to suppress guerilla resistance in Ukraine (after WW2, last info about guerilla where late 1950th).

Now will be much longer and Ukrainians will be much more effective.
It's like pointing out that car accidents kill ~10x more Americans a year than 9/11 did so why are we so obsessed with making sure you can't bring weapons on a plane? The real threat is giving every moron with a pulse control over a 4,000lb wrecking ball.

Logically it's absolutely true that inattentive drivers are a greater risk to Americans than airline hijackers but 3,000+ people dying in one day in one location hits a lot harder than 30,000 people dying mostly one or two at a time, over 12 months, spread out across fifty states.
Sorry, a large country can certainly enforce debt collections. Part of me is thinking how depressing, but realistic, it would be that the west would be more aggressive in seeking repayment than punishing Russia for invading.

Thanks for your examples. I was thinking about post-WWI Germany. The breadth of examples certainly helps move away from that kind of punitive and world war starting example. Which makes it more realistic.

Maybe a statement from the West that this will be the case can encourage Russia to not aim for totally conquering the Ukraine. I can see a second salami slice by Russia as an option.

I regularly read RT and occasionally Sputnik. I also read the opposing views held by Western media like Economist, FT, Independent, etc. RT are always careful to acknowledge opposing viewpoints. For example, in all articles on the war, so far, they say "Moscow claims ..." and "Kiev claims ..."

Censorship happens when the authorities are afraid of the viewpoints of their opponents. So the EU is afraid of allowing Russian perspectives to be learned about by EU citizens. Its becoming plainer by the day that we don't live in a democracy.
Odd - the putinists were calling us intel hysteria. I wonder how many fell for it and are now parroting the same thing.
I was into his videos for a few months but I couldn’t stand how much of a narcissist he is. He literally says he invented the reverse-searing technique.
An interface with many methods can have the same problem. If the function doesn't actually use every method in the interface, do you really need to implement them all?

So then it might be better for the function to declare its own interface with just the methods it uses? But then, all the callers need to be changed if you decide to call another method.

There's no principled solution to predicting what dependencies code might need someday. It's a matter of taste.
but will the purchase power still be the same? or wildly different. you see the point
I have this[1] Android app on my phone and try it out once in a while, it didn't pick up anything so far, which is probably good news. But I do wonder sometimes if it does actually work, i.e. it really would detect if something was there.

How did Trump and Brexit show that German alliances wouldn't help in a crisis? Trump pushed Germany and other NATO states to meet their pledge of 2% GDP, and Brexit had nothing to do with NATO which is probably the most relevant treaty in a time like this.
In fact, I'd be very interested to know what Wirth thinks about Smalltalk; I haven't read a statement from him about it anywhere, or heard anything from him about it in the many interviews; interestingly, Kay asked him a question at the Turing Price lecture and even introduced himself by name, and you didn't get the impression that Wirth knew him.

I also find it remarkable that while Wirth refers to the windows concept and Smalltalk in the HOPL paper, which was written as recently as 2005, Cedar does not use overlapping windows at all, but rather - like the Oberon system - a tiling window manager; the Oberon user interface looks very similar to Cedar and has little resemblance to the Smalltalk-80 user interface.
Please refer only to iOS as a walled garden. I can easily install Windows and Linux (natively) on my Macbooks, and this is not more cumbersome as on a regular PC (disabling Secure Boot). With the Apple Silicon its not that easy, but mostly because there are just not mature-enough drivers (Linux) or no interest by the manufacturer (Windows). macOS is also not very locked-down - yes you might need to disable some security feature and reboot to install certain kernel modules, but this is nothing out of the ordinary. I can still run kernel-level code without jailbreaking/rooting the hardware on Macintoshs.

It’s amusing to me how many people on this supposedly intellectual forum got filtered by fairly simple visual instructions. Perhaps visual and special reasoning is not your strong point?
I think the depends heavily on having a room/blanket/sleeping-bag arrangement that doesn't leak a lot of heat.

In extremely cold, drafty situations (living in unheated bus) with only blankets rather than a sleeping bag, putting on clothes is necessary.

Of course, if you have a good sleeping bag, as little clothes as possible is how to sleep outdoor.
Are you saying that physical wheels are also digital and uses some "magic" (magnets?) to land the ball to a number that's actually been determined by an RNG?

Seems unlikely, especially considering at the local casino it seems like it's doing the total opposite - the physical roulette tables have a "debug" screen for the dealer that looks like it's monitoring and digitizing the roulette's output and I'm suspecting it might actually be using the physical table as the RNG for the computerized roulette you see on machines.

I really hope that part-time becomes more mainstream in the future. I currently work part-time (4 days a week, although I'd prefer 3) and it's a big change from 5 days a week.

I also have a feeling that this is more common in Europe vs. US (not sure if true).

Edit to add:
I also think that a company gets more than 40% from a person who works 40%. There's a big difference if a smart person doesn't work for you at all or works for you a bit. If that person makes smart decisions it's worth much more than their "linear" work time.

The Faber Book of Science by John Carey

I’m a professional HN lurker but I can’t not contribute this one. The book all scientists should have read and would love, but haven’t heard about…

“The editor of the internationally acclaimed Eyewitness to History now charts the development of modern science. In this first anthology of its kind, Carey chooses accounts by scientists themselves--astronomers and physicists, biologists, chemists, psychologists--that are both arrestingly written and clear. Contributors include Carl Sagan, Charles Darwin, Stephen Jay Gould, Oliver Sacks, Lewis Thomas, Rachel Carson, Sigmund Freud, Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, and scores of others.”

Hope you enjoy!

Not a single war was ended by adding more weapons.
It's certainly true that he was instrumental in their success. If someone else had been in post, it would've happened ten years earlier.
There are better explanations out there, but don't judge it on page count alone. It's a compact, to the point, and no-fluff exposition. That's definitely a quality by itself. I've used it with success to teach a young man who for reasons could not attend high school.
EDIT: Exercise problems are good and with answers to all, and full solutions to some.
Do you have an example of something he showed the takes 10X longer?

I find most of his recommendations made me a faster cook.
Yeah I was quite frankly surprised to see a clean energy leader promoting fossil fuels as sustainable and nuclear as not.
Ukraine also has a Nazi problem. Putin used it as a pretext for this war inside Russia, but outside of wartime, folks in Berlin and DC consider it a real problem for closer alliance too.

Ukraine also has a corruption problem.

I think NATO will keep Ukraine on the cusp for 20 years like they did with Romania, before they allow them to join.

I'd also imagine you just have more communication overhead with more people. E.x. standups will take longer if you have twice as many people working half as much. And communication costs might even scale O(n^2) of people, not hours worked.

I think that makes part time workers unattractive.
Negative selection seems to be a Russian specialty. In particular, Stalin's era.
Cooking is the Perl of life activities in that "There are many ways to do it." and we all tend to optimize for different things.

I live with people with dietary restrictions, so I tend to make everything from scratch because I optimize for not killing my housemates. But I have found it's an added advantage in that if I'm mostly getting staples and assembling things myself, I both have a simpler time shopping and much less trouble meal planning because I can late-bind what I'm making since I've got ingredients for most common (for our household :) meals handy.

But that doesn't mean mixes/pre-made stuff is bad. If it's optimal for you, go for it. :)
Yeah I bet everyone else will switch their commerce to those banks that are able to process.

Have you had ikea furniture fail before? I felt the same, it _feels_ like it’s going to fail but then it just never does. I have a little set of the Malm draws which must be about 15 years old now and are still perfectly fine and like new. While plenty of high end stuff has failed on me because the wood joinery comes loose. Ikea uses nuts and bolts which hold things together much better than joinery.
As a computational neuroscientist who has used ANNs to model brain data for 20 years, I want to suggest another way to think about these sorts of brain-ML/ANN comparisons: successful language comprehension requires representing the underlying statistical structure of language. Humans who learn to comprehend language must learn about the underlying statistical structure of language. ANNs that learn to comprehend language must learn the underlying statistical structure of language. Comparing human data to ANNs only really makes sense in the context of that statistical structure. What aspects of this statistical structure are learned by both machines (i.e., brains and ANNs)? What aspects of this structure are learned differently by the two machines? When the two machines learn different aspects of statistical structure, is this due to differences in architecture, training, or something else? A good understanding of the stimulus statistics is essential for interpretation.
Hell, the fancy sci-fi illustration and UX design give much more of a "tech startup" feel than a serious monetary alternative.
Your pancakes taste like my pancakes. That’s boring. I like tasting other peoples pancakes.

Then again, some people just want to make reasonably good pancakes for their kids or before heading off to work, without too much thought or effort. Or having to be "creative" or think about how they compare with other people's pancakes. Are you OK with that?
