>which is why you deleted your original comment.

I didn't delete any comment. This is a lie. If you want to engage in conversation with me do it on good faith. Do not LIE.

>The fact that you asked such a silly question about dictators and than refuse to learn from any of the multiple answers shows that you are not open to honest or intellectual debate

Your post was flagged. And died. This happens when multiple people disagree and are offended by your post. I still chose to engage with you even though your post had offensive intent.

Additionally the amount of karma on my original post is 5. So 5+ more people agree with me. I'm assuming everyone who disagrees with me down voted.

If anything you're the one no one is siding with.

>I never called China evil or Putin crazy so why are you putting words in my mouth that I never claimed?

You never made the claim but your attitude made it seem like this was what you think. If I'm wrong then I take it back. Logically speaking though, you believe dictators are irrational. Which is equivalent to crazy. So essentially you think Russia and China are crazy because both countries are basically dictatorships. That is a logical deduction from what you implied.

So my statement still stands. China and Russia are examples of dictatorships that are much more complicated then the singular label of irrational. That's all.

> I'm going to bid you a farewell, have a wonderful day.

Why. You obviously don't like me. What's the purpose of wishing me a wonderful day after such accusations? Also what's the purpose of disengaging in the conversation? You said something with offensive intent, I'm still here. What's making you leave? Are you emotional?
This thread caused me to look up why they don't do sales. I was a bit frustrated at first; but I must say, after reading their rationale, that now I'm kinda convinced.

To quote one of the Factorio mods/staff:

> It isn't about visibility or sales, its about respecting the players who have already purchased the game. We don't want to reward the people who hold off on buying the game, the game is a price we find reasonable, and this is the deal. If you think it is priced too high, then it is your choice to not purchase, and we hope that with enough time, and extra development, we will be able to convince you of its value.

Yes, we have plans to support PostgreSQL as a storage backend. At the moment, queue tuning parameters are not exposed as configuration parameters, they're based off a shared queue and we expose prometheus metrics over the shared queue. What use-cases do you have for tuning the queue?

The dude exposed an attack on freedom and privacy. I ultimately respect him for that.

I do not expect him to continue to one-up himself and ruin his life more and more until he's dead, or staring at a concrete wall in solitary.

He's done a massive service to the people. Let him have at least the minimal freedom he has left.

Generally speaking, no, this is not one thing you understand about W. E. culture.
I value anonymity for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that what is acceptable today might possibly become intolerable in the future.
The internet just feels so small currently. The technology seems to be all here to make it distributed and open it up, but the convenience of centralization and the lack of network-effects of the distributed solutions seem to be the bottle-neck that stop them from gaining traction.
Google's spam blocking is showing cracks, too.
It screams "non-technical manager" (or journalist, or politician, et c) to me (though that doesn't seem to actually be the case, here?)

How can it be both non-subtle and yet impossible to read?
Didn’t seem to end particularly well after the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty either. Adding nuclear weapons doesn’t make the prospect of political upheaval (let alone violent revolution) in Russia sound any more desirable.
This test leaves me conflicted. I'm often surprised by what developers remember and more importantly forget; it seems that after a while the fundamental elements of what makes up a website are lost in the sea of new development languages or platforms. I've done front-end design and development for over a decade now but have largely leaned into the prototyping and design area of that career, so my knowledge of development is limited enough to not have forgotten HTML and the markup for building a page. I would've been able to ace this test while also failing to be suitable for a senior Javascript developer. Developers here on HN who would likely be able to outwit me in every way in development seem to have lost touch with simple HTML markup. Still, I wonder if something important is lost when development requires these basic elements of a page to be forgotten in service of a new framework or language.
The timing would imply that Benedict XVI resigned (at least in part) due to the scandal involving blackmail of homosexual members of the church. The wiki page on the resignation doesn't go into that at all, but does link to the scandal in the "See Also" section.

> On 17 December 2012, the Pope received a report on "Vatican lobbies" ... . The same day, the Pope reportedly decided to resign, a decision he made public in February 2013

It's possible that multiple factors added up to make the job too overwhelming for one man of his age, but the "vatileaks" scandal appears to be far more significant in coverage from what I can see.
As an English speaker who learned French, Spanish, and German I'd say that of the three, French has the biggest gap between written, formal language and spoken language, especially in informal contexts (e.g. conversation among friends and family). I would also say that for all languages, reading comprehension and and listening comprehension are two different but complementary skills.

>If a Russian oligarch wants to transfer money to a Swiss bank to buy a new boat, they'd need to convince that Swiss bank to be part of the new network as well.

I don't think it's about being actually able to send a message. It's having the transfer of dollars recognized. Say I send $50 million from my account at Sberbank to UBS and then try to transmit from UBS to my boat builder in the Netherlands. That won't work because UBS won't get $50 million added to their balance sheet because other banks don't recognize the Sberbank -> UBS transfer since it's not on SWIFT. To them, UBS will be trying to spend money it doesn't have and the transfers will get rejected.

In short, No SWIFT = No Dollar transfers outside the country.
Wondering which is more important - not being called a douchebag online or the gradual death of free speech. Impossible to say.
No keep them up. There’s so much intelligence coming from them via social media.
I myself never learned the quadratic formula, I always just used completing the square, i.e. just using the fact that x^2+ax, and that you can split the ax in two put the resulting rectangles on sides of the square, to make a square with side x+a/2, by only adding an a^2/4 which is independent of x. Then you know that you can just remove the little a/2 square from the big square to relate it to x^2+ax.

I think that was the first case where I showed good taste in how to do mathematics.
There are lots of games with basically the same interface requirements (eg, Minecraft), and they work with a gamepad, it's just very clunky.
>Why does 100M vectors not work in ES?

I think that it's important to mention Elasticsearch version in this context :=)

Full disclosure, I work on Vespa.ai, but I have a pretty good understanding of how NN and ANN works in ES.

Elasticsearch 7x only had support for brute-force exact nearest neighbor search (1) which you can surely run with 100M documents, you just need to have a lot of nodes to bring latency down to service latency SLA. Typically, a single threaded/single index segment query with 1M documents with 128 dims using float is 300ms with Elasticsearch 7x (3). Two shards/segments instead would bring it down to 150 ms and so on. But 100M becomes costly, but perfectly doable.

With Elasticsearch 8.0, there is support for doing approximate nearest neighbor search (2) using the HNSW support from Apache Lucene 9. This would bring latency down to low single digit ms (single threaded, single shard) with 1M documents. The biggest disappointment was probably that they don't integrate the approximate nearest neighbor search with regular query filters/terms. This will likely be coming in Elasticsearch 8.1 or so, once it's implemented in Apache Lucene 9.x.

For a feature you use once every other week/month I don't see it as a resignation.

Don't see the point from a UI perspective to show me everything, including features I may never ever use, each time I want to access features used on a more frequent basis.
I can't stand places filled with people preoccupied with things like tolerance and inclusion. Not because I think those things are bad, but because those people always turn out to be insufferable and often insane. Worrying about fascism in this context is extremely ironic given how things are playing out in the west in the name of tolerance and inclusion. The future is not looking very bright. By the way, I realize that just by expressing this opinion I am now a nazi.
They are signaling. Push came to shove and the unfortunate reality is that Ukraine isn't that important to most countries and the risk of a greater war is worse.

The lesson here is that every country should learn to defend itself.
The ability to learn things slow down dramatically when you get older, it's probably even more true for languages. It's fairly obvious when you look at kids. They can learn in the 5 first years of their life, without even thinking about it, to speak a language as well (at least accent wise) as any adult would do in 20 years of pretty intense studying.
Nowadays dictatorships take that decision themselves. No need to impose it on them.
You seem a really big fan of natural gas.

Have you heard of heat pumps? If you burn the gas in electricity plants you can get 3x the efficiency of burning gas for heat. So if the heating power of gas is that impressive to you, then renewable backed heat pumps must be about 10x as impressive.

You can even hook them up to the nuclear plants that you were supposedly advocating for before this turned into a love letter to natural gas, Russia's biggest export.
> Iirc you could split files with Zip at that time as well, but the major annoyance was that you always needed to insert the last disk of the Zip set at the start.

I think among the first things they taught us when I took physics at university was to forget about the formula, and learn to complete the square. Felt they had a fairly low opinion of the education we had been given thus far, so we had to do it almost as a kata to prepare for the reality of actually needing to rely on algebra abilities.

This was followed by years of professors telling us to learn to derive all sorts of formulas and identities rather than to memorize them.

Learning to derive a formula creates a sort mathematical self-sufficiency that you don't get when you memorize a formula.
I'm not so sure about this one. There's not much open about opengraph other than that Facebook published the for wat they want to use. Everybody else copied it, but Facebook decides what does and doesn't make it into the standard.

At least Twitter has the decency to mark their proprietary standards as proprietary.

Would like to see this applied in a cryptographic system (if it hasn't already been done). The cryptosystem gets destroyed upon observation or an attempt to measure it is in place. Caveat being: the secret(s) gets destroyed upon someone attempting to crack them.
I might not have enough context, but is it possible based on your architecture the shared queue could back up if specific destination endpoints aren't accessible when workers are processing the queue (I have seen this happen before in an adjacent space product)? If this isn't the case, tuning is probably not necessary if temporarily undeliverable messages can be skipped and retried later without impacting queue throughput. Being able to select, group and pause processing of queued messages in an ad hoc fashion (tuning was likely the wrong word, my apologies), I've found, is a powerful feature of webhook engines.
There are many non-essential keyboard macros and a good few that are essential.

A controller interface would have to break these macros up into layered directional menus. Nothing ground-breaking, but it is a different learning curve.

This is exactly it. Putin and most Russians consider Ukrainians to be Russians (and in particular, lower class Russians they can step on). If Ukraine is allowed to increase trade with the EU, which will lead to lessening corruption and potentially eventually joining the EU, its economy will develop quickly, and Russians will start to ask why the same can't happen for them. This is bad for Putin, who relies on corruption. Putin will keep them in poverty to make Russia the best place for Russians by comparison.

Mearsheimer is kidding himself if he believes an unaligned Ukraine (remember, Ukraine is unaligned right now, and several NATO member states are on the record unambiguously opposing Ukrainian membership, which requires unanimous approval) would be allowed to prosper. Any NATO justification for Putin's actions holds no water. Pretetending that the goal is to demilitarize Ukraine as Putin is doing now is also nonsense because Ukraine's military was never threatening Russia. Putin doesn't care if his puppet government lasts or not as long as Ukraine remains poor.
As far as I know they really are just numbers in databases, but if it's foreign currency, they can't just magic them out of the DBA's fingers. There probably are ledgers that have to agree with each other, e.g. if a Russian bank claimed it had those 100 Trillion dollars from a Cypriot bank, then the Cypriot bank would have to confirm it gave them that much, and then show everyone the source of that money.

Which does make one wonder how easy it'd be for your trick to work.

North Korea is a major printer of fake $100 bills, a piece of paper that's actually worthless but others are willing to trade $100 worth of goods and services, or exchange for a bank transfer. Until a bill is found to be fake and destroyed, I guess there really is $100 more in circulation, and when the last person found out the note is fake, in effect NK has robbed them out of $100.

Just because you judge other people's opinions as 'intolerant' does not excuse support for forcibly revealing anonymity. At the very least, consider the possibility that opinions that you express that are considered widely popular and 'acceptable' today are likely to be viewed as 'hateful' or 'harmful' in the future.

Any weapon you wish to use can easily be turned against you, and if we've learned anything from history, it's nearly certain that it will be.

The poster should maybe have some introspection that if he thinks that Tucker Carlson isn't disgustingly pro-Putin, and Russian state television disagrees so vigorously that they literally threw him up there with subtitles to show how pro-Putin he is, maybe he's, you know, wrong about his assertion.
That... seems like a mistake.

The West appears willing to let Ukraine go. They don't like it, but having gotten themselves exhausted by recent wars (especially the US), they seem to be willing to consider it not-their-problem.

But Finland and Sweden are decidedly aligned with the West, and not only would they not tolerate threats to them, but that re-casts what the situation in Ukraine means. The West might be willing to choke down what could be seen as appeasement, but they need to be able to believe that it's not going to be immediately followed by more. If they're going to be forced to fight, they'd rather do it earlier rather than later.

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong; I'm far from an expert and even the experts seem unclear. But this statement strikes me as extremely dangerous, even in an already tense situation.

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is the holy grail. I don't think you'll find a much better single "diy" resource. I don't think you need to follow it cover to cover, but it's a great reference resource to have and contains a lot of super valuable exercises and resources for drawing "the right way".

Honestly, I wouldn't spend money on instruction unless it's in person - drawing is ultimately about seeing and it's hard to instruct that online. Other tutorials/lessons tend to be about copying existing work rather than drawing from life, which is the foundation of all drawing/art skills.

Learn about the basic elements of art (line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space) and the principles of design (balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, unity) and look up exercises to practice them all.

Most people only care about "line" when drawing (forced perspective, outlining the subjects, etc). This is a trap. Think about "drawing through the object" (don't outline and then fill in later, etc) and utilizing all the other elements of art.

Draw still life setups/landscapes/people from real life. A lot. Do long drawing sessions (4+ hours with the same subject). Short time boxed ones (15 mins max, 30 mins max, etc). Draw the same setup every day for a week. Draw every day.

If you want to copy other works, start with copying drawings/sketches from the "masters".

If possible, find a group drawing class to get IRL feedback.

Once you do this for a year or two you should have a pretty good foundation for pretty much any drawing/painting discipline.

Ultimately it's about repeated practice. Make it a daily habit and you'll see big improvements.

The Steam Deck looks pretty cool, but I recently starting using an existing Valve product that nullifies most use cases for me: Steam Link.

If you want a Steam Deck you should first try Steam Link. If it doesn't meet your needs (gaming requiring internet, mobile internet adding too much latency), then the Steam Deck becomes attractive. I hadn't considered this when evaluating the value of the Steam Deck and I suspect most others haven't either (judging from the lack of Steam Link coverage).
