I will tell you the secret: just jump in.

Grab a pen and paper, open up the first book in any of the guides, and start reading. Read for 15 minutes, or 20 minutes, or whatever time you have on your lunch break or before you go to bed or while you’re using the bathroom. Do it again the next day. And the next. And the next.

That’s how I did it. There’s no brilliance involved. It’s just jumping in. The more you do, the easier it gets.
This is the language of bullies. "Do this or we'll hurt you." "You did that, so now do this, or we'll hurt you."

And then they hurt you anyways.
Somewhat relevant reading: Congressional Research Service updated their report on Nonstrategic Nuclear Weapons use yesterday. It was RU focused prior as well.

I see people who have good ideas but are contrarian and weird discovering why engineers are trained how to communicate effectively all the time.

I count myself relatively lucky that although I'm very autistic-y and not-normal by regular standards, I'm quite social and communicate for a nerd. I like writing, I like explaining things. Albeit in a self-serving way, I think.
It is faster to type // than /* ... */ . Any time you type the same character twice it is much faster than typing two separate characters.

Further because I write a lot of JavaScript too I sometimes make the mistake of putting a // -comment into my CSS which breaks things. And when things break in CSS you usually don't get a clear error-message about it.

It is always difficult to switch between two languages. I would prefer something like JavaScript stylesheets, if that was possible.
Ask HN: Collaborative platform to help me code with my friend
I'm just start to learn programming for a job changing at home now, but I found it hard to solve issues when my snippets get wrong, the environment configure is also troublesome. So I found want to try some collaborative coding platform and code on the platform with my friend ,so that I can got help review my operations and codes. Have you tried any convenient collaborative platforms to Code Together?
Biden to issue executive order on cryptocurrency
Same UK that said it would back Ukraine if Russia invaded? And then 2 days later was like “nope, best we can do is hopes and prayers (and some cheap weapons)”?
"Labor intensive" has a different meaning in places like Sri Lanka than in (e.g.) the US (though I doubt 98% of Sri Lanka still slaves away in the mud). "Costs more", similarly, is probably different.

By the report, the sudden switchover made a 20% reduction in absolute yield, for whatever was the reduction in inputs. That is not surprising for any un-pilot-tested step function change in process. Whether it is really a disaster depends on the cost of the inputs abandoned, which was not reported.

There are very strong incentives for this to be treated and reported as a disaster. Omitting key details from the reporting, as here, helps establish that narrative.
Taking LSD or other hallucinogens is not a shortcut to enlightenment. In your paragraph above you could substitute "took acid" with "found Jesus" or "travelled to India to meditate at an Ashram" and it would still make sense.

LSD showed me there was another path that had been hidden. Ram Dass called hallucinogens "training wheels." He said it was helpful for Westerners because we're very ego bound, trapped in the glory of our own reflection and individualistic that merging into "one" was difficult. Enlightenment as a mental state has been around a lot longer than LSD. It's the spiritual practice and study that counts.

>I don't think you need experts to see how the Russian offensive has stalled everywhere. Even in the south they barely make any progress at all.

If you analyze the actual situation, they're stalling there for good reason, nor because they can't go further. They're setting up permanent bases there so they can resupply easier, setup a field hospital and a service center for vehicle repairs. It will make next offensive much more efective, in theory.
War in Ukraine: Free to Read
From Russia, no less. The US promised non-interference, Russia promised protection.
The reason for the error from Babel is that JSX is an HTML like (more so XML) syntax, not HTML. The obtuse comment syntax is because you need to escape to JavaScript with the braces, then use a multi-line JavaScript comment block. I wish they would've allowed HTML comments in the original design, but my guess is that comments were an oversight that just happened to work due to the escape syntax.
Probably possible, but you would really need some more concrete information.

For some easy experimentation with GPUs I would advise looking at Futhark. It's super easy to setup and get started.

Painful enough that the sick and poor can't get medicine and food?
>Under duress you'd be surprised what you'd publicly support.

>It's not as if every Russian has the luxury to say what they want and not fear extreme retaliation.

I suspect that vast majority of people saying things like this haven’t even visited Russia.

I own a home in Moscow, am married to a Russian. Our family has been hit hard by sanctions. I have skin in the game.

Knowing what I know about the actual experience of living in Russia, I don’t believe any of these people are under duress to support this.
Aren't nukes used all the time, by their mere presence?
He wants both. He wants the territory, either directly or via a puppet administration and, in service of that goal, he needs to control the population. Regarding territory, he'll take what he can get. He's in Ukraine because no one stopped him after Georgia and Crimea. If he succeeds in Ukraine, he'll keep seeking more.
They mean being fortunate enough to be born in the right country. (Or really, get citizenship there.) I'm not sure how much sense that makes within the EU?
Many reasons, the first few I can think of are:
1) It's not a _few_ hundred, it happens to be exactly 100 in Nevada.
2) That was spread over many years vs a couple days of a war.
3) They were in a barren desert, the "safest" place we could find.
4) They were all early bombs, nothing compared to the modern stuff. H-bombs literally use nukes as detonators, so it's like comparing blasting caps to C4.

We quickly realized this was a terrible idea(some tests in NV had intense fallout in NY) and stopped doing atmospheric tests by 1963.
Yeah, but now I have to manage on a per site basis about half a dozen different settings. I find it a necessary evil on mobile to control bandwidth usage, but on desktop I find it easier to just not visit or immediately leave low quality websites.
I suppose you're right, now that I think about it I've heard of Linux users running Windows in a VM for MS Office.
> I have used those before, and yet I still had those characters appear in data...

Oh, yes - which is why I emphasized "is". But ASCII text is easy to test for, which lets you fast-track into exception handling - "Tell Sales that Customer data is not as represented", "Trouble-shoot internal data source", etc.

(My experience is that substantial Customer data is never, ever as initially represented. Nor as represented after you point out the first set of issues with it. Nor as represented after you point out the second set of issues. Nor as...)
The article talks about a ban on synthetic fertilizers. Fertilizers are not pesticides.
Apparently China or India may be the main places you can find; personally I'd be a bit cautious with China.

The cat is out of the bag, this stuff will get worse in the future - it is very likely that businesses will need to have multiple payment processors/streams and their customers will need to be flexible.
Even just cooking on the induction hob, or using the (electric oven) will already blow your entire day budget.

My thoughts exactly. Without any cooking at all (and exluding heating) we would do like 2.5kWh/day. But add a morning coffee (drip), noon thea (boil with induction), and a nice dinner to that (at least 2 induction plates, often oven as well) and that number simply doubles.

So OP: really curious to how you do the cooking, if any?
Demonstration of this, using a data: URL (paste it in the address bar):

data:application/xhtml+xml,<script xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">%0Aalert("Hello <!-- Comment 0 -->world");%0A&lt;!-- Comment 1%0Aalert("Bonjour le monde");%0A</script>

(Observe also how what I’ve written here nets you a document that lacks html, head and body tags—HTML syntax fills those in through the magic of optional start and end tags, but XML syntax takes what it’s given and can be used to do things like nesting hyperlinks or putting a heading inside a paragraph. The HTML and XML syntaxes for HTML are actually mutually incompatible.)
That concept has fallen out of favour in HPC, but it'll be interesting to see if it makes a comeback.

As recently as 2016, an SGI UV3000 rack-scale SMP machine with 16TB of RAM was the sort of thing you'd see on a trade-show floor - now you can get that much memory in a 4U chassis, and things will only improve further if/when Optane DIMMs take off.
More like cognitive dissonance.

The states most strongly against a welfare state invariably receive the most welfare.

I've been using rails more or less since 2014 and while there are other options for sure, nothing is quite as nice as rails in my opinion.

I honestly have never heard about any of this drama. I never really pay attention to any of that stuff and it never has affected me or my rails projects in any noticeable way.

I think this is a bit of an overreaction.
That's such a disgruntled take. Having a "smart friend" was merely a nice advantage.

Jobs' strength was in how he saw the world. His intuition, ability to imagine the future, inspire others and execute on that vision. Marketing and communications skills then almost felt like a by-product of such rare personality traits. I suggest reading "Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products" or any interviews with Jony where he talks about the interactions they had with Steve.

The level of product and design thinking Steve and Jony had is so outside of some measurable 'data' that engineers often tend to underestimate its importance.
This depends on the algorithm. If it has lots of branching and control flow, then it's unlikely to run well. If it's based on something like FFT or any sort of linear algebra really, then it should run really well.

WebGPU is accessible enough maybe you should try it! You'll learn a lot either way, and it can be fun.
Does no one remember DHH's first Rails keynote?

https://images.app.goo.gl/JvyvwdnNi936uhvk8

He's always been like this, if anything has mellowed out. Dunno why people have a problem with it now.

As for his politics, he's still left wing, just in a pragmatic euro way, versus the current zeitgeist in North America...

Anyhow, just more dev drama, just like how people somehow found fault with Matz over the idea that people should be kind and respect each other (!?).

You're right, there's probably more at play. Exposure to chemicals, pesticides in food, less time outside, more sedentary lifestyle, less sun exposure, more processed food. I was just saying that one car = one engine producing exhaust from fossil fuels (EVs a little less).
I found it most interesting that "Other Renewables" (i.e. solar and wind) went from ~5% to ~15% in just 10 years. If we can triple capacity again in the next 10 years, we could completely eliminate coal (assuming storage can solve load issues).
The Soviets don't exist anymore. Russia was never meant to be our arch enemy like they were.

In fact you can tell from the current lack of even minimal military spending below agreed NATO standards that Europe did not view Russia as the enemy. We simply didn't even consider it likely enough to have enough resources for an effective land defense, let alone an attack.

Of course this invasion put Russia back on the villain map with increasing spending accordingly. Of course NATO will now reinforce the borders, probably Sweden and Finland will join...

As it was Ukraine was not going to join NATO anyway. This whole thing had the opposite effect.
How exactly? By politely asking North Korea and Russia to disassemble all of theirs? How do you know if they aren’t lying when they say they complied? Should we disassemble ours as a token of goodwill and just wait for everyone to do the same? It’s more complicated than that, I don’t think we can get rid of them

I really look up to both Steves. I met Woz once and he's such a humble guy in everything he talks about. I even studied Jobs because I really value his perspective of the world although many people believe he was an asshole (he probably was).

The beauty of Jobs in my eyes is his ability to take what was in front of him and refine it until his liking.

How do you do that? You become a world class communicator even if you can't describe what you want and you have to "see it to believe it". The reality is that you know what everyone wants because you are playing the role of "absurdity" against the "voice of reason".

I think to work on your communication skills, one of the best ways to do so is through comedy improv classes, ToastMasters, twitch streaming, making youtube videos, work presentations, and even theater. You have to be willing to put yourself in front of other people and fail time after time to then get good enough to be comfortable and confident whenever you do it.
Decentralized, meaning can't be controlled by a single government or entity.
It's all about risk, and a lot of risk factors are still somewhat unknown. I think about cancer like rolling dice, we all roll by the nature of existing.

A smoker might be rolling a 6-sided die with cancer on one side.

An athlete is still rolling a die with cancer on one side, but it's more likely a 100-sided die.
Isn't there something like SciPy which you can run on WebGPU?
For me, it’s all about consistency. It’s spending a few minutes to a few hours every day, forever, til the day I die.

I usually can squeeze in 30 minutes to an hour every day to study something (whether it’s math or something else — right now I’m studying cinematography). Sometimes that’s in 15-minute chunks if it’s a busy day. Usually it’s before bed or while I’m eating lunch or if I have extra time on the weekends while my kids are napping.

It’s all about just doing a little bit every day. That’s been successful for me.
What are the underlying assumptions we can break here?

For example, what if tasks were not monolithic? As the queue size grows, increase the caching timeout and don't hit that DB, or decrease timeout, or something like that.

Or, what if the input task variance was bounded and we just initialized the queue with 10 tasks? This way, the addition of tasks would never dip below 1 and would never exceed 20 (for example).

What is irrelevant is that fissile material is still available at enormous cost when the alternative, not paying for it, yields much more available power output.

The norm is multilingualism across different languages that are all local to the area. French people studying English in school are not "bilingual" at all, in this sense.
Why are you denying the agency of the Ukrainian people?

They are the ones choosing to fight. Look at the polls. Look at the interviews. Look at all the people there voluntarily picking up arms to defend their country.
You can see some evidence of it when he uses same analogies over the years e.g., Computer as a bicycle of mind. It's same with Jeff Bezoes; he has 4-6 go-to concepts (e.g., regret minimisation framework) that he repeats in almost every talk.

Anyway; that's just my observation. My take is no one's natural-born leader. Of course some traits such as good looks help but most of the foundational aspects that matter such as communication, critical decision making, recognising and seizing moments are skills just like any other and need to be practiced.
It is, but with all respect, it’s not a useful answer (or even accurate; see below). If one takes, for example and contrast, the top-voted answer, well, I could probably implement a database index scheme of some sort based on that explanation. Might not be a good one, but it would work. Parent comment’s answer? I wouldn’t know where to start.

Additionally, parent’s answer doesn’t actually answer the question, by saying what an index is, but the question was “how does it work?” The top SO answer does a great job with this one, I think. Another one a few answer down also goes into some of the downsides (it slows down writes, for one). The whole page is worth a skim if you’re not a DBA but have to fiddle with DBs on occasion.
I have done the same type of thing to comment out lines of a json file used for configuration . Append “//“ or something to the beginning of a key that I want to have temporarily “commented out”. (Be careful as some programs might expect those keys not to be there of course.)
Does anyone know what an index card was?
> You start a job because it's the thing people expect you to do with your degree

I obtained a job so that I could start a family and keep food on the table. I guess what you’re saying would make sense if you already had a retirement-level amount of money to begin with at age 18.
> State-owned digital currency can lead to total control of population.

He absolutely does not need to do this thing to have total control of the population. North Korea has total control of its population without digital currency, does it not?

The fundamental way Putin has total control of his population is by having his opponents poisoned, thrown out of windows, or into prison. He has neutered the political system around him, he's shutting down independent media, it's a crime punishable by 15 years in jail to tell anything other than his story about the war, etc.

Why does he need to do anything with a cryptocurrency? He can just keep crushing and killing people.

I can't read the article but I am already sensing from the comments that it is probably totally crackers.

If Russia used small nukes, do you think nato should do nothing? That means it’s open season to use nuclear weapons anywhere outside of nato territory. That future is unbelievably horrific
True, it's interesting that it doesn't peak. Is that initial onset, or simply occurance?

I ask that because prostate cancer has a very positive long term survival rate but also recurs in almost a third of cases. I wonder if the peak in other cancers is because long term survival is lower, or lomg term survival is also high but recurrence is lower.
That is very interesting! What was causing the 100w phantom load, and how did you find it?
>Which constitutes brain trauma!

Yes, i got that from your post the first time. Like i said, brainswelling from the surgery.
It read to me as if the article wanted to create another picture. The author not mentioning up front that it was only the probes that got implanted left to me the impression that the speech problems were due to an error with the implant. Which it wasnt.

>Unfortunately as others have pointed out, his dataset is pretty worthless and the claims around it have been largely unsubstantiated.

One said the approach was worthless, because there exist better (less invasive and cheaper) approaches using eye movement tracking apps today. It was also as the reason given why nobody else researched into this. That wasnt however aimed at the dataset. The feedback to the dataset started at

>IMHO he had, and if you ask literally any neurosurgeon or anyone working in neuroscience I'm willing to bet that they would say the same.

He was 66 and was first left hanging waiting for a willing subject who could still talk to validate earlier results. He then couldnt afford recertification of his invention and was faced with nobody else working on this approach.

You are skipping over the fact that it worked. His lifes work and deep obsession turned out to work. He did it, what more is there to say other then good for him? Even if the dataset would turn out to be without practical implications, you can see at his pondering at the very end, whether to put an implant into the other site, that he would have regretted it deeply to have it sit there and stare at him for the rest of his life.
One good reason not to support it is that it’s ambiguous: is it a comment (to be ignored), or does it represent a comment node? If the former, why not just use /…/? If the latter, it requires that the library or compilation target or whatever support comment nodes, which is more work for a dubious feature.
Not sure if the people whose departments got migrated into Wipro, Sasken, TCS would agree, specially those that even had to provide competence transfer sessions.
It also takes time to figure out if, and in what way, a given company is affected by sanctions. Sometimes its straight forward, most of the time it is not.
Unless you are commenting out multiple lines/blocks of code.
I have used rails since 1.0 days and the drama has never affected my ability to ship. It is not as if DHH is posting dick pics to the edge rails guides. Don’t follow him on twitter and don’t read his blog and you would be none the wiser about his views.

Edit: I realized me posting this under your comment seems a bit belligerent. Not meant as such I just identified with your position of using it for work
