Thanks. I knew there must be something like that lurking behind the dhh post.
Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but I'd nevertheless consider to be a genius anyone who was even doing modest tinkering with hobby computers back before personal computing was taken seriously. To think that in the time it takes me to finish a project with an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi, people like Wozniak were hacking together their own computers with reject factory parts, etc. Mad respect should go to the folks like Wozniak no matter their relatively minor flaws, especially when egotists like Jobs got so much credit.
This is the accepted (and perhaps it's very good that it is!) wisdom, but obviously it isn't the case; if the nuclear powers decided to nuke the living daylights out of Africa for some reason, it wouldn't escalate as the countries hit have no way of retaliating.
I want this too. Let me know if you find anything!!
Not absolutely everything is sanctioned. Lots of companies are "self-sanctioning".
"...we move on to a 90 min max "take home" exercise. In our case, it's not a coding exercise, but that's not that important for this discussion."

This is definitely the most important aspect of this discussion.
It says something even more that CNN, MSNBC, and the NYT are considered "left". Sensationalism capitalizing on division isn't "left". It's just modern capitalism in disguise.

Vox is a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, which is a right-of-center political operation.

The US doesn't have a left-wing with any voice or power. The overwhelming majority of the country are right-wing or far right-wing.
Hydro capacity is limited from how much water is coming down from the mountains. With global warming, it is about to be much more limited. China trying to tap some of the last great untapped hydro reserves left in the world (in Tibet) could also have serious environmental consequences for India and Southeast Asia (not just wildlife, but people who need water to farm and live). Dams are not purely virtuous.
We really need to eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide. So far we've had leaders that are responsible enough to understand that using them would mean worldwide catastrophe. But 100, 200, 1000 years from now? It's a ticking time bomb.
I think about this too.. that if I was in their shoes I would get out of there ASAP.

But this is still a very impoverished part of the world. Income per capita is ~$2k / yr.

So, most simply don't have the means to leave. I think most are counting on being able to just stay out of the way and waiting for this to "blow over".
A suit from Bijan also costs 25k. Am I supposed to extrapolate that all suits costs 25k? You are doing exactly this especially with the use of "can" which automatically implies an upper bar.
That’s what the real analysis course is usually for, and why it comes after linear algebra and algebra.
No, it most definitely isn't. I'm originally from the US, by the way. The midwest, if that helps. Some families will talk about it, others don't, and a lot will pass on talking about it if it was 'no big deal'. So the weird mole? Yeah, you probably didn't hear. You especially didn't hear if it was your cousin. Not everyone will talk about their prostate, especially folks more embarrassed about bodily functions or anuses. A lot of prostate cancer doesn't require treatment, after all, and no reason to talk about it. If your great grandmother had cancer, you probably don't know, especially if she died from a heart attack or stroke. Doubly so if your parents and grandparents are still alive and have not had cancer.

And yes, I've met all sorts of folks like this. I worked in a pharmacy for years.

You just assume everyone will talk about such things.
If we all buy EVs we'll build a better grid.

Just like how we built gas stations when we all bought cars.

EV adoption is a curve just like anything. There isn't going to be a switch where yesterday there were few EVs and today everyone had them. Its a function that can be predicted and prepared for.

Also you can carry small batteries or generators. It won't be as portable as a 5 gallon can of gas. But so what, not everything will have a 1 to 1 analogy with gas cars. But small problems like that will be solved or worked around, people are smart and are always looking for new products to develop and sell.
I appreciate you trying to be helpful, but I can't make anything out of that twitter link. The only thing I can gather is that maybe DHH tweeted about this developer? Or that DHH worked with this developer but didn't give him the full context of what they were working on together?
Sanctions can be implemented with a "wind down" period for companies to gradually come into compliance with the sanctions. In the UK, for example, there is a wind down period expiring at 23:59 tonight for sanctions relating to "sovereign debt, loans and money market instruments".[1] The situation in the OP is not necessarily related to any sanctions though, it may be a voluntary act on the part of Wise.

I draw the line where it crosses into understanding a language other than the runtime language. You don't really need to understand anything more than pure Java to understand 99.99% of popular Java libraries (I already listed the exceptions).

You don't even need to understand JVM bytecode (though that can really help for performance optimisation).

You can't use almost any meaningful library without running into a C extension in Python-land and that is what I have a serious issue with. (same goes for Ruby and JS though I guess)
I'll pile on the pieces i've gathered from various sources (will just list names, we can google/youtube them). I'm extremely unqualified to give medical advice, but it's the path I'm personally following.

Expose yourself to heat shock[1] or cold shock[2] to increase memetics and sirtuins

Give your body a chance to clean up after mTor & IGF -- have low protein days (~ <50g), consider metformin for off label usage and affect on blood sugar (else keep blood sugar from spiking), exercise but not too much there is a dose dependent amount that stimulates health but more is just wear and tear + anabolic growth factors.

There's a lot of "Let's add a queue to deal with scaling issues" type thoughts which don't really work in practice. Like 95% of the time the system works better without one.
Would be nice to find somewhere that sells these lenses in bulk, from a quick search they seem to be quite expensive.
> but once you understand it, you’ll have deeper insight into the behavior not just of CPUs and database thread pools, but also grocery store checkout lines, ticket queues, highways – really just a mind-blowing collection of systems.

...and karaoke singer rotations. In 6 years of frequently singing karaoke at bars, I've never known a host to turn away new singers, unless it's almost time to end the show. So you could say the queue is unbounded, with predictable results for the few singers who show up early and then get frustrated with the ever-increasing time until their next turn as more singers arrive. I don't know what the best solution is.
I'm too used to our cities that every block based design seems incredibly dull to me. I prefer designs like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Prague. These cities are so much more interesting than Barcelona or Berlin. In Barcelona as a visitor, you don't even come inside these blocks. They are meant for people who actually live there, but nobody else has a reason to visit one.

I hope we won't follow the superblock trend or what Dubai is doing. Basically a square grid full of isolated blocks or towers.
> his dataset is pretty worthless and the claims around it have been largely unsubstantiated.

The really sad part of it is that with fairly minor changes it could have been a landmark dataset IMO. Having better recording equipment, a lower noise floor environment for data collection (e.g. don't run fluorescent lights while recording), having precise timestamps integrated into the recording, better temporal separation between recording of various phrases, adding simultaneous EMG/EEG, etc would have resolved quite a few data related issues. It's a unique situation (for good reason), but bad data...

From seeing the data, I suspect the electrode placement was in a good enough location that novel things could have been done with a cleaner data source. I guess the major limiting factor is that absolutely no one would want to be involved with the project at that stage. What sort of IRB would approve any of this? Better data would answer some key questions that could generalize to lock-in patients (theoretically) and worst case it would provide a strong indicator that no significant BCI can be made for the task given the electrode placement.

> Google "contingent fee". Then "copyright act registration attorneys fees"

I don't need to - you, as an attorney, are not going to take every case on contingency. You are only going to take cases that you think you are going to win and you are likely to collect. In most of cases you would require a minimum payment from a client. In those cases the client will probably be fucked.
> Their skin will be cleaned off the pavement.

Agree to disagree but let's hope it doesn't end up like some Tiananmen Square massacre in some large city..
Outrage feeds sanctions from non-government sources. It fuels citizen actions - such as donations and opening their homes. It pressures governments to do more.

Outrage is a driver of change.
The usual explanation boils down to the fuel load of cities. Another possible explanation is... the potential impact of nuclear weapons are greatly overestimated to make nuclear war too unbearable to countenance.

There's a very big unknown here, which is how much soot a nuclear-induced conflagration of a city pumps into the stratosphere. We know that stratospheric soot would induce global cooling, for a time period of at least a few years, based on the observed effects of existing natural stratospheric soot pumps known as volcanoes. And we also know that without stratospheric pumping of soot, climatic effects are at best localized in both space and time (see, e.g., Kuwaiti oil well fires).

Personally, I am very unconvinced by the assertion that nuclear weapons causes severe global cooling. The most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history are VEI 6 or VEI 7, which means they erupted up to around 100 cubic kilometers of stuff. If you assume a city has an average height of 100 meters (for the sake of round numbers), you'd need a firestorm to completely consume 1000 square kilometers of city to produce the same volume of material. Furthermore, a volcano's eruptive column is a relatively narrow plume of ejection as opposed to a broadly dispersed firestorm base, so it seems that you'd have a far lower conversion rate of material into stratospheric soot--and correspondingly you'd need to burn even more area to achieve the same effect.

And at the end of the day, even the most severe volcanic winter in recorded history (1815) happening today would be roughly equivalent to rolling back global warming to 1850. For less than a decade.
You've got the best years still available with your daughters now though. Plan trips with them, plan experiences. I'm 37 and I go and visit my aging parents as much as I can, adding up that collective time together.

My dad is 76, I wish he was 57. I'd ask him to go camping or on a road trip. I should still do that now probably, it's just hard to shake the realities of aging.
Mostly due to culture, there are hardly any chips without C++ compilers, and plenty of them have Basic and Pascal compilers available as well.

This is something that can only be changed with new blood bringing a more open mindset.
Question for someone with gpu programming experience: is it feasible to analyze time series data (eg.: run a trading algorithm through a series of stock prices) in parallel (with the algorithms receiving different parameters in each core)?

Spring is almost here also, it’s not like cutting gas supplies in January.

If they are in the US, the homeless guy is more likely to simply die instead of being able to get treatment. The homeless guy couldn't have gotten a preventative scan to catch it, after all, and even if he felt it, what would he do about it?

Poverty - or lack thereof - changes the story itself because not everywhere cares about its people.
> Smoke from the incinerated cities rises high into the atmosphere, wrapping the planet in a blanket of soot that blocks the Sun’s rays. The planet plunges into a deep chill. For years, crops wither from California to China. Famine sets in around the globe.

Interesting, easy to imagine between two smaller nuclear players or in a nuclear armed proxy war scenario but not sure how it would apply to a scenario like Ukraine.

Its hard to image Nato retaliating with small nuclear strikes. Its even harder to imagine the US actually getting involved.

I have a feeling this is just a Russian oligarch market scam to amp up the media and move investments around or something.

Then again Im not even wearing pants so what do I know...
GitLab has an All-Remote Guide that might be helpful to you and your team: https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/guide/
You're getting downvoted, but I see where you're coming from. I have noticed as well that, perhaps a decade or so ago?, Woz began a sort of "recognition tour" where I would see him show up at an arcade game expo or vintage computer festivals and repeat a kind of history of his life.

At the time, Jobs was alive and getting all the accolades (and Apple was flying high), so it seemed justified in my mind that Woz should want to say, "Hey, what about me?"

(At the same time, I am comfortable that history will remember each of us as we deserve to be remembered.)

If you read "iWoz" I think he puts it all down in ink there. (But I don't know that I would recommend "iWoz", I found it fairly boring — but perhaps because I had heard it all before.)
I mean. By all means, explain further what is meant by "death blow", and how that somehow applies to the currency used by the global market. The rest of the world will be able to trade just fine, as far as currency exchange is concerned. The only issue is for those who have halved their buying power.

The the rest of the world clearly disagrees with your assessment, as if they did not, it would be reflected in the evaluation of the USD.

Haha. Assuming this isn't sarcastic—I would assume that (1) sentiments on the last day are probably similar to many of the days before it, and (2) you should weight the wisdom of those days higher than days early in life, because they have more experience.

If that was sarcastic... you got me.
> If we all move to EVs, the demand for electricity will go up (a lot!) But I don't see how we're planning to meet such demand with our current power grid.

I don't think anyone has proposed more EVs without an improved grid. In fact, this January, the DOE announced a "New Initiative From President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law To Modernize National Grid" [1]

> Being able to store fuel in 5 gallon increments in a cheap container has no equivalent in the EV world.

Agreed.

As an aside, it was disappointing to see Linus Sebastian choose an Nvidia card for his recent Linux challenge. While the majority of his content focuses on computer builds utilizing Nvidia and he gave reasoning about why he chose that approach for his viewers, the result was less fortunate than could have been.
I'll try to summarize what I know about the reasons and what brought people to resign from the Rails project, for those missing the context. Please note that I might be partially wrong, but I'll try to summarize as neutrally as I can:

- DHH, the cofounder of Basecamp and creator of Rails serves as the de facto benevolent dictator of Rails.

- April 2021: Basecamp announces that discussions around politics and society are no longer allowed at the company.
The official statement was that employees should not feel pressured to take on side or the other, and that discussions would derail into flamewars. Employees instead suspected that the announcement was made because some employees found a list of "funny customer names", that had been circulating since 2009, offensive. It apparently contained mostly Asian and African names, and led to discussions about inclusion and diversity. About a third of the employees of Basecamp quit the company. [1]

- April 2021 to March 2022: The story of Basecamp leads to many many discussions on Twitter and in blogs. DHH turns off the comments on his Twitter. People start doubting the fitness of DHH to lead the Rails project. There are flame wars from both sides. People start to turn their back on Rails. After multiple tweets, people start accusing DHH of being a cryptobro and QAnon sympathizer.

- March 2022: DHH published a blog post containing an email from the RailsConf organizers, where they tell him that they want to fill the keynote spot at Railsconf with other speakers, because he had "mostly been offline for the past year". DHH had been very active in reality, publishing code to Rails consistently. He lists his contributions, along with the other contributors of those features (among them: Kasper Timm Hansen, author of the PR linked in this post). DHH suspects that he was uninvited for political reasons and his stance on diversity. [2]

Kasper Timm Hansen tweeted, back in August 2021, that DHH was credited for work Kasper did [3]. That last blog post of DHH seems to have broken the camels back.

This is exactly my take on this (and I am family-oriented, religious guy). Majority of people will be “dying” between few weeks up to few monts, while they will be living 70-80 years. Shaping your 70 years of life so that you don’t feel (other people’s) regrets during your final few months seems stupid to me.
I think the timeframe is a factor too. If you explode 10k nukes within 10min, that’s a lot more dust all at once than 100 nukes over a period of multiple years.

I’d imagine it’s like filling a sink with water (and the drain slightly open) and use dye to simulate nuke debris. Try one or two drops every minute for ten minutes, vs. an entire cup of dye all at once.

Obviously the actual climate models are far more complex but for ELI5, I think this is the general idea.
It's not quite as old, but I loved Hackles back in the day. http://www.hackles.org/
This is an understatement really. Motivation is everything and skill is just a side effect of that.
Yeah. It's a bit of a narrative rather than a fact, but from what I can tell he really did some big soul searching and learned a lot of useful, practical advice. IIRC there is some article describing him looking at a warehouse full of unsellable inventory and realizing that not storing computers, but building them near realtime based on demand, was a better way to not lose money.

Ask HN: What on-call benefits do you get in your company?
I'm curious to understand how my company on-call benefits compare to others. Suggested format:

Company | Location | benefits (e.g. food vouchers, pay or anything of value) | how often do you go on-call

Feel free to include anything that you find interesting in how the on-call works in your team.
Maybe reporters keep asking him the same questions.

the idea that not only the FLIR but the radar echoes from multiple radars (which all concurred on the high-speed aspect) is somehow explained by a bird flying in a perfectly straight line plus some parallax effects, is ludicrous
Yes, I remember using a translation startup's automated website to translate a text to French where "kind regards" were translated to "I'd like to thank the president of the EU". I'm pretty sure they were using EU documents for training...

I believe other sources include UN documents, which are translated into even more languages, and then there are a bunch of combined corpora like https://opus.nlpl.eu/ which contains hundreds of languages as well.

The obvious downside of this, of course, is that translated text often ends up quite official and stiff. Great for reading news, translating speeches and reading papers, not so great for day to day conversation. There are corpora for more practical, specific use for a few languages, but they usually only come in pairs.

I don't know how services like Google Translate work now, but through experimentation you used to be able to see how the translation matrix went through English first when you translated between two other European languages. You'd put in a word for which the source and destination language had specific words, but for which English only had one single word, and you'd get a mistranslation every time. The shorter the sentences, the more likely the translation service would get it wrong.

I just found out this can still be replicated on Google Translate, actually: the Dutch word mees (tit, the bird, aka titmouse) and the Dutch word tiet (tit, slang for human anatomy) both get translated into French as mésange, the bird, when you enter them each on a new line. Add more words for context ("wat een grote rieten" vs "wat een grote mezen") and the translation corrects itself.

I don't believe the French word mésange has any direct correlation with mammal anatomy, so clearly the translation matrix involves the English language, or af least one with similar ambiguities. This is why you can't rely on Google Translate if you're just looking for the translation of a single word, especially if you're translating between languages other than English.
Also in plenty of countries that do. Ask anyone from any African nation with English as one of its official languages.
this is my take as well.

The dangers of having a very strong point light source are, I think, a good argument for distributing the lights across a large area. Since distance matters with light intensity it would also help to never be very far from a lightsource wherever you go in a room. Maybe the best option would be to cover your ceiling in LED light strips or a bunch of those LED lights that look like fluorescent light fixtures.
What about Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom?

The royal family are fairies that use magic and are somewhat stupid but have a noble heart.
