Not technical per se, but I'm interested to know how the "unlimited plan for life" experiment worked out. Did many folks take you up on the offer? I didn't, but I strongly considered it (if I'm being honest I just procrastinated the decision until I realized the deadline had passed).
Don't spread propaganda. If a Russian boot steps across a NATO member's border NATO will attack, there's not a single doubt, especially with what is going on in Ukraine because obviously Putin has lost his mind and is trying to recreate the USSR.
>Philosophy, like sciences, are broken down into domain functions.

But Philosophy is not a science, it's a human construct.

>you’ve got your reasoning all kinds of backwards.

It's rather a lack of reasoning. Anything that is claimed as "Moral" always begs the question to what end.

If i 'Can' it is.

You and you're morals of do no harm, act fairly in dealings, etc. etc. end up being counter-morals when reality strikes because the universe doesn't caree about your codee of conduct or your "Rules & morals". Putin certainly doesn't.
Do you remember back when Unity was preparing an "export to Flash" feature around 2012 or 2013? Yeah, well, that relied on two technologies in Flash Player that together let you port native apps to run inside Flash:

- Domain Memory: WASM, but from the alternate branch of history where ECMAScript 4th Edition became a web standard.

- Stage3D: WebGL, but inside Flash Player

Adobe pooped their pants and decided that people cross-compiling to Flash Player should have to pay for it. So they decided that you couldn't use both features unless you agreed to pay a 10% revshare to Adobe; they would be "premium features" now. This would be enforced with DRM in the Player that checked for a digital signature in your SWF authorizing the use of premium features.

This pissed off a lot of people who were still developing Flash games and, ironically, pushed them to Unity or HTML5 (or both). Adobe saw the writing on the wall and killed premium feature enforcement, but the damage was already done. Bonus points: apparently they planned to pay for ActionScript 4.0 with the revshare money they now weren't getting, and just decided to entirely shitcan AS4 out of spite.

Literally the first reference I saw to this was in the FSB leaker's comment that it is about to become the new swastika, i.e., a symbol associated with barbarity and fascist military aggression married to millenarian dead-ender ideology.

That Putin is going all-in on using the tooling of cult mobilization in this fashion is one more indication that this doesn't stop until we stop him.

> Also I wouldn't trust BTRFS for the purpose of data archiving, for the fact that ext4 is a proven (and simpler) filesystem, thus it's less likely to became corrupt, and it's more likely to being able to recover data from it if it will become corrupt (or the disk has some bad sectors and that sort of stuff).

On the contrary; I'm using btrfs and not ext4 on NAS (Synology) specifically, because the former does checksumming and bitrot detection and the latter does not.
Thanks for sharing! This is great.
China has about 10x Russia's population and from what you're saying about 10x the economy (and the economic gap is bound to increase)... So it's clear that any alliance and close relationship between Russia and China will turn out like the US and its allies, i.e. with the larger side firmly in charge.

I think at the moment China's objective has to be to maintain 'stability' in Russia. Indeed, it's clear that the West's play in the war in Ukraine is to attempt to destabilise Russia to the point that Putin is toppled, with the obvious objective to replace him him with a weak, Western-friendly (and not China-friendly) leader. Clearly China will not want that to happen.
Holes with interior dimensions close to the width of the nozzle are hard and need to be calibrated if you absolutely need to print them to size. Basically, the plastic is "spreading" a bit wider than the nozzle tip.

better solutions, rather than making exactly sized holes, is to increase the number of vertical walls, make the hole size slightly under, and use a precision drill and reamer to get to the target size. Also, make sure you're setting your scaling right (for example, I need to set my object size to be 100.6% of its designed size, because PLA shrinks when it cools).

Frankly - I just don't think paying extra to the new hire makes sense.

Any way you put it - it's essentially just a one time yearly bonus for being referred.

Which... is not something you really put any effort into. And why should that person get a free bonus compared to applicants who apply themselves?

Further - as a new hire, I'm much more interested in making sure that long term compensation is appropriate, and that I have the ability to get decent raises or equity than I am in a 15k one time payout (that comes with a lot of strings).

I'm going to "both sides" this one. Putin forced the sanctions by invading Ukraine, but the sanctions that are most painful are also the least discriminating. The Western powers know that ordinary Russians will be harmed by these sanctions, and in fact they're counting on that harm to destabilize Russia and turn its people against Putin.

I think all of these projects are coming together primarily to replace the existing nuclear plants. As the older plants reach the end of their operational life, there's still a desire for fission power; building a new plant with the old designs doesn't work for a lot of reasons, so hopefully new designs that take into account 40-60 years of operational, construction, and regulatory experience will make it possible to fill the void. I'm sure all the teams are also hoping to broaden the market for fission power too; if they can show the ability to build reactors in reasonable timelines and with reasonable budgets and operability, it could happen. If not, these are likely to be the last generation of fission plants (aside from naval applications)
Yes, I agree sometimes Open Source is a mess. I also accept that I always use Open Source projects and rarely contribute. But I do file bug when I feel it is appropriate. If ever I see a person struggling with something(on reddit,forums,hn or even quora) and asking genuine/silly question, I will help them up to my knowledge, it can be small tweaking, small steps by step instruction, introducing them to how it works(you may call it mini on-boarding checklist) or even an implementation suggestion of feature if the person is a developer. I do consider it a community contribution.

Accepting/Ignoring a valid bug is just not too much of task, rather it is more work to file the reply as what you got. Just accept/ignore the bug report and forget, don't be rude.

> My goal here is to provide a roadmap for anyone interested in understanding mathematics at an advanced level. Anyone that follows and completes this curriculum will walk away with the knowledge equivalent to an undergraduate degree in mathematics.

NO, NO, NO.

There is no real way to go up to the real deal without having understood elementary Functional Analysis, which the article doesn't even mention. FA is roughly what Linear Algebra would look like if instead of finite dimensional vector spaces we considered infinite dimensional vector spaces. It opens the rigorous path to non-linear optimization, analysis of pdes, numerical analysis, control theory, an so on. What this article mentions is a way to work around things, but nowhere near an undergraduate degree in mathematics.

I'm astonished that the PDE section has such books, they look like the calculus aspect of partial differential equations. A more appropriate book would be L. C. Evans' Partial Differential Equations. Same with ODEs, no mention of Barreira's or Coddington & Levinson's books.
There needs to be a name for this phenomenon: a denial of reality as part of a possibly-reasonable argument.

ie, I don’t think the argument being offered here is unfounded, and the “denial of reality” I’m noting here does not actually attack the argument itself.

Lazier invocations of this same idea often invoke identity politics issues. Often the line is implied, and goes something like this: “Here’s a movie with a successful lead [woman/african-american/etc.] which really isn’t something we’re used to seeing.”

Well it’s something I’m used to seeing, and I think it’s something everyone else is used to seeing. Despite the commonality of the event, people are very worried about how common a portrayal is, and often something which was common 40 years ago is felt as “common today,” even when the world has moved on.

It was, indeed, a very limited test promotion to some small subset of customers and I am still undecided on whether it makes sense to pursue or not.

Unfortunately the terms "inexpensive" and "good hearing aid" are nearly mutually exclusive in many countries. Any company that wants to sell a regulated medical device that's covered by insurance ends up having to go through so many hoops that it ends up being anything but inexpensive. And anyone selling a device intended for hearing correction that isn't getting FDA approval is a very questionable fly-by-night operation.

The recently released Bose SoundControl are $900 for a pair.

Audicus sells their low end device at $1000 for a pair.

Costco sells a device that are about $1200 for a pair.

MDHearingAid is probably the cheapest ($400 for a pair!) but they're not programmable and so of limited utility for serious hearing loss.

You will find budget models from the major hearing aid vendors for around $1200 up for a pair.
I've heard that, but I don't know. Other counter-examples: Angela Merkel is a scientist. But the only ones I can think of in the US are few. Andrew Yang.

KA-SAT seems to be used for SCADA control of 11 Gigawatt worth of wind turbines in Germany, among other things [1].

Not sure at all if this was the intended/primary target, but Europe is certainly scrambling for every Watt at the moment...

Also note that KA-SAT/Viasat and Eutelsat seem to be different platforms. I've seen reports of services based on the former being affected (e.g. SkyDSL [2]), but not the latter (Konnect), so far.

I was also surprised to learn that Ka-band based stationary consumer satellite internet services seem to be using (mostly) plain DOCSIS as the protocol. That possibly introduces its own share of vulnerabilities due to OTA updates/provisioning.

That's a real thing for game consoles. The PS5 has 16GB of RAM, which is directly accessable by the CPUs, GPU, and SSD controller. So you can load an asset directly from SSD to GPU memory without a recopy. In a PC, you'd have copies from disk to disk drive cache to OS memory to user space to GPU memory. Also, in a console, where you know exactly what the hardware configuration is, you can store the assets in exactly the form the GPU wants.

This has nothing to do with "cloud", though.
> because where are the web games?

All over the place. I see them regularly posted to HN. Did you miss the entire '.io' trend of web games? The market is smaller because it was
partially eaten by native mobile games, but it is alive an well.

> Why aren't they playable on mobile safari?

Aren't they?

> Why don't the web standards come with a dev environment.

That's not what standards are. There are a plethora of web development tools and frameworks that target the web. All of these target different needs and visions.

> Is Apple justified robbing us of a Maker's renaissance era because it wasn't mobile ready at the literal dawn of mobile computing?

> I disagree with the assessment that Adobe was a bad steward because I saw them trying with my own eyes.

Adobe abandoned mobile flash development in 2011, when mobile was a fast growing, but still small part of the market. This is also when android more or less caught up with iOS in terms of adoption.

If adobe had continued investing in mobile development, would flash have survived? In retrospect, this is the decision that put the final nail in flash's coffin as mobile won the eyeballs.

If Apple had included flash in iOS, would that actually have saved flash?

Was a closed source, proprietary ecosystem that was late to mobile ever really going to stay the dominant media delivery platform or even survive?

We don't know the answer to these questions but placing all the blame on Steve Jobs is simply too simplistic to be true.

Psychotherapy (esp. CBT - cognitive behavioral therapy - and ACT - acceptance commitment therapy) has been very helpful to me to understand how this works. The fun part has been observing how a professional operates and the effects it can have on someone. So I jumped right into psychology studies. It’s fascinating. It helped me understand my behavior further.
There are good introductory books such as « Happiness Trap » (this one is about ACT)

Prepform is built on the idea of a study plan, where you:
1. Take a diagnostic test
2. Set a target score
3. Create a study schedule
4. Identify mistakes, and finally,
5. Review mistakes.

I wanted to take this structure and personalize it for each student using machine learning, spaced repetition, and data visualization.

Students first take practice tests, then analyze their mistakes using the data visualization tools. Then they log their mistakes, where they answer “What did I do wrong?”, “What should I have done instead?”, and “What is the clue in this question that I missed?”. This is the key here, since reviewing mistakes is where the bulk of learning happens.

Lastly, the mistakes will be shown again at appropriate intervals, and included in future practice tests.

The app is currently training the AI model, which will be used to predict the odds of a student answering a question correctly.
