Thinking about the four kinds of documentation [1], it seems like the Hugo docs are structured as a reference but presented as an explanation/tutorial. I've found it useful to sit down and explicitly think about the purpose of a piece of documentation before writing it, and then write it with that purpose in mind.

It sounds like a basic thing, but it's also the main reason people write bad documentation

I just find it strange that someone might decide to buy an NFT and then not keep an offline copy of the file themselves, and that people do this often enough that it's a selling point. It's not like the files are large. If the Sia network breaks down, you'd want to have done that, same as if S3 somehow exploded.

Russia’s truck logistic support, which would be crucial in an invasion of Eastern Europe, is limited by the number of trucks and range of operations. It is possible to calculate how far trucks can operate using simple beer math. Assuming the existing road network can support 45 mph speeds, a single truck can make three trips a day at up to a 45-mile range: One hours to load, one hour to drive to the supported unit, one hours to unload, and another hour to return to base. Repeating this cycle three times equals 12 hours total. The rest of the day is dedicated to truck maintenance, meals, refueling, weapons cleaning, and sleeping. Increase the distance to 90 miles, and the truck can make two trips daily. At 180 miles, the same truck is down to one trip a day. These assumptions won’t work in rough terrain or where there is limited/damaged infrastructure. If an army has just enough trucks to sustain itself at a 45-mile distance, then at 90 miles, the throughput will be 33 percent lower. At 180 miles, it will be down by 66 percent. The further you push from supply dumps, the fewer supplies you can replace in a single day.

The resupply line from Belarus to the outskirts of Kyiv is more than 100 miles and over "back roads" - definitely not highway roads.
There's a difference between commercial and proprietary, and it's a pity the Genode site confuses them, but if you want to make a proprietary version of it Genode Labs advertises the option to pay them, as a commercial software business. As far as I know, that's not an option with, say, MS Windows or iOS.
Loved the article, thank for sharing! I remember as a kid, being a big fan of Rollercoaster Tycoon, I wanted to create my own isometric game. I made it in The Games Factory, which was a no-code drag and drop game maker tool. I remember that I loved working out all the coordinate calculations from screen to tile and vice versa, like the stuff written in the article. I wanted to build a Camping Site Tycoon with lakes and water glides, but I abandoned the project. Thanks for sharing!

Isn't the fact that they immigrated likely bias towards the higher skilled echelon that managed to go through the visa process?

When you say "outperform most domestic US groups", are you normalising for the same skillset and education levels?

Yes, many cloud providers do. However those redundant copies are typically located within the same datacenter.

Simple example: You have 1TB of data stored in a us-east-1 AWS S3 bucket. Virginia gets hit with a natural disaster, and all of us-east-1 goes offline. You no longer have access to your data. The only "easy button" way you could have prevented this scenario is if you had setup backup or bucket replication policies prior to the event. You decide to follow AWS docs. Disaster recovery 101 typically calls for 3 copies of your data at a minimum. You are now paying $70.66 for storage ($23.55 per TB x 3 regions) and $40.96 for inter-region bandwidth ($20.48 per TB x 2 replicated buckets) for a grand total of $111.62 just to store 1 TB of data. These costs don't even cover you or your customers downloading any of that data either.

At Filebase, we store your data on the Sia network. A 10 of 30 erasure coding profile is used, effectively creating a 3x redundancy overhead. Datacenters and clouds have been using EC for a while too. The critical difference here is that each shard is stored on a different server, spread geographically across the world. An entire portion of the internet can go down, and Filebase can simply fetch the shards it needs from other parts of the world. With a 10 of 30 profile, we only need 10 of those shards to fully reconstruct the file - we can suffer 20 servers or hosts going offline all at the same time.

If Filebase's infrastructure goes down, our health checks fail, and our DNS-level load balancer seamlessly redirects your HTTP requests to another Filebase edge location. And since all Filebase edge locations talk to the same decentralized Sia network, your data is magically available, and you may not even realize you were redirected. That same 1TB of data storage on Filebase will cost you $5.99, a ~95% cost savings.

maybe wearing an symbol of your caste to work on purpose puts people on the edge? also i have no idea what 'ambedkar watch' is, not sure if most people even know about this symbol of caste.
I was with you right up to

> But it’s a few thousand dollars if that (as low as under $1,000) which is reachable to all but destitute families.

Selling my blue collar parents on $1,000 to slightly improve my chances of getting into a slightly better school so I could spend even more money? That’s absolutely not happening. I’d have gotten a pat on the back and told there’s no shame in community college.

I think you misjudge how people see that value proposition. There are certainly blue collar parents who see value in a prestigious education, but most maybe rightfully don’t.
Detecting dark mode preference using JavaScript
As a software engineer from Ukraine I totally support that decision.
I was really impressed with the sketches. I always thought those were more of an engineering "suggested best practice" but this is a good reminder that a visual sketch can act as a reference while also showing how pieces might fit together.
privacy is not only having private conversations, but keeping my phone number private instead of sharing it with everybody
This is probably the most "hackernews" conversation I've ever had but as far as I've ever seen the term used, "memoization" is not restricted to temporarily tabling the results during a single run of the algorithm but used to mean any caching of results of an expensive pure function for future use. You seem to call that a "semi-permanent database of answers". Here is the original memoization paper [1] where he is using a constant-time table lookup exactly as I envisage in this case rather than only tabling results during a single invocation of the algorithm. Ironically he uses it to memoize a recursively-defined factorial function.

One unfortunate thing about the newer From games is how the difficulty relies so heavily on the two things humans will lose over time: focus and reflexes. Its most ardent fans will age out of being able to play their favorite games as they get harder and harder to play.

They'll be forced out of their niche.
Good news and bad news, since roads tend to be a little easier to block.
I didn't like BoTW much. Possibly not for the same reason as you: I felt it was very pretty and had a lot of individually very nice game mechanics. But the world felt empty. Just a massive canvas for a bunch of little puzzle rooms that all give the same reward.

Elden Ring, on the other hand, feels quite dense and there's a massive amount of variety in that density.
To the moon costs are ~$31,500 per kg for SLS and ~$2,000 per kg for Starship according to:

https://everydayastronaut.com/sls-vs-starship/

Time will tell though as they are both in late stage development.

Edit: SLS vs Starship is the correct comparison to make. Spacex does not intend to use Falcon 9 or the Falcon Heavy for lunar transport.
The value is indeed in knowing the problem and common mitigation strategies.
OK, well done but boy I'm really bad at playing games. ha ha
"Among other things, standardized testing requirements were eliminated, and subjective admission criteria were added in an effort to deny slots to Asian-Americans and boost enrollment among blacks and Hispanics."

Emphasis mine. They added subjective criteria. That's the problem. Removing standardized tests and relying on GPA or something would be fine.
It's really not meant to be an independent test of learned material. It's meant to be an aptitude test.
The ones that you linked are called Necomimi, I bought them and they still work. The one thing that they should really improve is the quality of the motors because they are extremely loud which kind of defeats the point of having a mode which shows you your meditation state and relaxed state. I wish someone would make an update and improved version. Another thing that bothered me is that it needs FOUR AAA batteries, which is good from the environment point of view. But very bulky and kinda annoying from the UX point of view.

The same company also made a tail, but I didn't have a chance to test it nor did I buy it.
Probably. The fighting mechanics are very different (and more interesting) in Elden Ring, but a ton of the fun of both games is seeing something cool on the map or off in the distance and exploring it. If that loop with its lack of explicit guidance or goals didn't work for you in BoTW it probably won't work for you here.
Okay, by trying to operate all that (mostly incredibly crappy) equipment and massive conscript reserves in a hostile country all at once means just burning up your fuel and food much faster, leaving your equipment stranded and your soldiers deserting. You wouldn’t think logistics would be a problem just 100 or 200 miles away from your own de facto borders, but here we are.

I’m sure Ukraine appreciates all the weapons Russia is donating to them, though.
The author is quite transparent in that her bond with that man was an unhealthy obsession. But it's an interesting exercise in tying it to older conceptions of romance and lust, instead of settling for the view that it's just a peculiar, pathological form of something normal as we convene today, and we're doing in this subthread. We don't have to agree with her on that argument either.

That's what makes the piece more interesting, that she made this work instead of just telling of her protracted, intermittent affair with a married man. Which is candid and has an element of voyeurism for the reader, but there's lots of places to read of sordid tales and gossip for their own sake.

Heck I've been someone a couple of women have come back to in between relationships that they wouldn't hold on to in the end, but didn't want one with me, something I'm grateful for looking back, and that's about as much as it's worth saying on those relationships of mine. If I were somehow to tie it to a few thousands of years of literary history on the subject, it'd be a different matter.

How? There are more than six million villages in India. Do these people maintain a distributed database of some sort?

How much of it is embellishment is exactly what I'm wondering.

Maybe come up with a convincing argument rather than ask people to take your word for it.
If Germany wants to play hardball, they should put him in the same category as various top-level orchestra conductors - denounce or be removed. Or, they can treat him as an oligarch and sanction him.

My theory is that he has a terminal illness. That would explain the intense fear of Covid, and would explain the rush to take all of Ukraine in one bite, rather than the methodical approach they've been taking over the last decade. Reconstituting the Russian empire is on his bucket list, and time is running out.

That's not at all how I interpreted the parent comment.

I read it as the types of hardships and barriers that, say, a US descendant of slaves faces can be very different from a Nigerian immigrant, and that's one problem with lumping everyone with the same skin color together as "Black" when calculating diversity metrics.

I think the proper word is scrapeyard. The equipment does not work.

Yes there are many Chechens in Ukraine and you are right that they basically want to get rid of them but there are also many Russians. The regime simply does not care for the lives of people.
- Your family bothered enough to think about sending you there, rather than spending time keeping up with the Joneses for the latest model of garden sprinkler

- Your family quietly put down one thousand(!) dollars towards additional education instead of complaining about the schooling endlessly over $15 bottomless mimosas on Saturday

You really think economically disadvantaged families are sitting around sipping mimosas and worrying about garden sprinklers? Wow.
We are having a similar discussion for the startup I am working on (Caido.io). We are bootstrap and would like to make a living out of our work. We just don't have the luxury of VC money where we can open source and worry about making money later.

Our compromise is that we are open sourcing anything that is not the core of the application for now. If we have enterprise / cloud features down the line, we will open source the core.

I would really like to live in a world when open source doesn't necessarily mean gratis or direct copy by a competitor, but I have yet to see that work for desktop applications.

You could say he has genius in some respects, and craftsmanship in others. Games are big, complex things that actually have a lot of different systems and aesthetic inputs, so it's not really fair to act like their creators are similar to someone painting a masterpiece or writing a book.

On the other hand, it's also not fair to give Miyazaki all the credit. Hundreds of other people worked on this game, and their creativity and contributions are unknown.
That is certainly a factor but I'm not sure it is all we need to know.
I had no idea these options were a thing. Thank you for pointing them out, adding them to my config immediately and hoping it makes some merges and whatnot easier going forward.
It has been quite a while since I ran through some of their getting started stuff. My biggest problem with it is that if you don’t choose a theme the tutorials and guides don’t work. You didn’t get an un-themed vanilla site, you got a bunch of error messages and no HTML.

Having a parallel set of tutorials that do not use a theme would make a large improvement in understanding what is going on.
Presumably you use it if you want its advertised feature of providing a highly secure operating system. Does it matter who else uses it, particularly if it provides an advantage over people who don't?
I too was so upset about the font choices I made a prezi presentation about the obvious problems and took them to show to another developer during lunch at our favorite cafe, it was as I was on the third slide comparing the h with letters h of other more conventional fonts that I could feel them sliding away from me.
Dropbox does this but it’s limited to a certain number of days, so not the exact same thing. I love the idea of a simple hit for everything.
I came down with Bell's palsy just about a month after a Covid infection, which fits what they're saying here. Covid definitely does some weird stuff with your nerves, which is why many people (pre-Omicron) lose taste and smell. EDIT: nope, I was wrong about taste and smell loss resulting from nerve damage.

What's the message from that photo? That if Putin starts feeling unwell after the conference it wasn't due to one of those guys at the other end of the table?
I was also very interested in that point. Later in the article, they also suggest the US give (via a lend-lease program) equipment to prevent Russia from gaining air superiority. So I wonder if the analysis of both the authors and Russia is that gaining air superiority would be time consuming, and Russia thought they needed to try ti advance faster.
Not sure, maybe not. There are probably incentives in terms of playerbase, depending on how big these NFTs are. The NFT holders could also voluntarily fund the cost of integration, as it adds a "use" to their NFT.

My point was though that interoperable game assets aren't farfetched, they already exist.
While I haven't dug deep in to the black arts that is RF and MW, it would indeed hide it better (the hopping), but because the noise floor would have 'more energy' during an active transmitter they would either always have to be transmitting or be so close to each other that they can keep the energy low. I think the analysis appliances are capable of finding hopping transmissions, even in the lower range (still expensive) spectrum analysers. It does of course depend on how fast they can scan the whole range and how wide the range is.

But Hanlon's razor applies, and indeed, it is more likely incompetence.

This is brilliant, why stop at political asylum? Change the narrative for attacking soldiers as a way to escape a regime and make some money. If you incentivized deserting without consequences that would be interesting. If each soldier was paid 10k to dessert and pick a country to immigrate to. Total cost 1.9billion on 190k soldiers. If you don’t dessert and join Ukraine in their fight you get 100k.
