The poster to whom you are replying is completely correct. It's not the same thing as thinking the windows they're putting in are ugly. It's not even like asbestos mitigation, where stupid decisions there only really impact the people who live there. These are health and safety risks to people around you, not just you yourself. It's a community concern.

Your neighbors' decisions around lead management and mitigation directly impact you and you are within your rights to insist that they follow proper safety procedures. To cast that as "meddling" or "harassment" is odious.

That’s intentional. What you’re actually getting is this:

┌─────┐
│ A1 │
├─────┤ ┌─┐
│ A2 │ │B│
└─────┘ └─┘

It’s the same as if you were to have an actual third monitor. You can reposition B in the Display settings so it looks like this:

┌─────┐
│ A1 │ ┌─┐
├─────┤ │B│
│ A2 │ └─┘
└─────┘

That arrangement had been working for me, but I have to manually configure it. However, that’s no different from when I plug in a monitor with a mismatched resolution or DPI. It’s even the same as Sidecar.

That being said, it’s been far from reliable, and Universal Control is both very late and very much unfinished. I’ve been experiencing different issues from the ones you mentioned, but they’ve been issues nonetheless.

I want to chime in as well to say I felt the circle was too large, I know districts in cities vary in size a lot but, but the game covered ~6 with mine in the middle. Checking the village I grew up in also covered the edges of three towns around it and a neighboring village.
It's a joke or maybe a microfiction or something depending on how you look at it. The "explanation" depends on the reader "knowing" that google maps is implemented by injesting data from parallel universes.

The fact that it very nearly uses the same jargon we use to talk about distributed systems is basically the joke, I guess.
Whole discussion was started because your question "how are you going to provide the additional goods and services these people will be able to afford" seems nonsensical. How? With increased production. Increasing production is not a problem.

In Los Angeles the two closest lessons I took were the 210 Freeway in Pasadena (which literally cut through poorer, Blacker neighborhoods) and the 710 Freeway which was supposed to connect to it.

The last part of the 710 Freeway was meant to go through a richer, whiter neighborhood. Some houses were purchased, but the connector was held up in lawsuits from at least the 1970s, and remains unfinished to this day.
No - concurrency is simple because the default state of running code is atomic. Variables CAN NOT change out from under you unless you explicitly place code in a callback, or await it. This is utterly untrue in threaded code, where ANY line that is not explicitly guarded or explicitly an atomic operation, might have shared data change out from underneath it.

There are usually several events sources - just in a normal application

- Network calls

- Mouse actions

- Keyboard actions

- Timers

- awaits/promises/callbacks

- Service workers

- mutation observers

- postMessage events

- etc...

Are all viable sources of events. Some of them will trigger events incredibly often (ex - a handler registered to mouseMove or Scroll) - it has nothing to do with limited event sources, and everything to do with how the code executing the handlers is guaranteed to be atomic (unless it adds more events - such as a callback or an await)
I really didn't have to practice. I just read the book and followed some of the directions like, "Ask yourself in your head, what am I going to think about next?"

It is a way to kind of 'separate' your consciousness from your 'thinking'. I don't really have the right words, but you then just observe your own analytical mind. You can observe without judgement, and at that point you're not thinking about the future or the past, but only the present moment exists.

In those moments I can then use thinking as a tool, but in the same way I use my hand to grab something, I'm not always using my hand, and in that state I'm not always using my analytical mind, only when needed.

It's in that state that I feel 'love' or something like it throughout my entire body. I feel like a huge weight is taken off me and I can just relax. And with hints of that love extending outwards and through everything. Something I've never believed in, it could be all internal to my brain still, but I understand how people can feel like there is something else out there.

Random 'thinking' thoughts come and go in that state, you just observe them, acknowledge them, and let them go. And I've heard that's very similar to what most people say about meditation.

He goes on to say that state of mind can become permanent. You live in the moment and only choose when to think about the future and planning, only use that part of you when needed. Worrying about the future all the time is not good, but there are times when you do need to think and plan. You don't always have to analyze everything, but choose to do so when it's needed.

I am nowhere near that point, not sure I could get there. But it does sound appealing, constantly enjoying the present moment, but also deciding when you should learn from the past or think about the future. But not be obsessed with it.

As a side note, I find right when I hit that state, most of the time, I yawn. Yawning is still kind of a mystery, but some current research shows it could be extra excitement of the brain, or even extra brain cooling. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3678674/ Maybe I'm just using a lot more brain power and energy to focus on my consciousness or just to focus on all my senses? All just random guesses, I know barely anything about it.
> There's also plenty of apps which the developer has barred from installing on macOS where this is the only real solution.

You can bypass that with iMazing. It’ll export the raw iPad app, which you can then install on your Mac, and it’ll probably run fine.
A potential upside is that because it's tedious, you'll probably want to do it for only as long as necessary before trying again so the difficulty is somewhat adjusted to the player's need, and you don't actually change how enemies behave - the mechanics of the game are still the exact same, your numbers are just a bit bigger. When I imagine an easy mode I would figure making changes for how things work would be necessary, like having a boss' attacks be more predictable.
Used this several times, works great. But for smaller training tasks (max 1 GPU), colab pro plus is much cheaper
I’m sure lead levels have some effect, but how do you control for “they grew up in a completely different world”?

I’d assume the latter is the primary cause of any major behavior differences, absent some pretty breathtaking science showing otherwise.

“Intelligence” is also a pretty goofy measure. If we’re talking about IQ, it’s basically “what quiz questions predict success measures, as defined by the social norms of whoever made the test”.

IMO that’s a pretty sketchy way to define intelligence. Certainly not the way I think about it colloquially. To me, success and intelligence are loosely correlated but very different traits.
This is the craziest/coolest denial of service I’ve seen in a while. Intentionally poisoning your own DNS record is next level.
Oof. I don’t see how you recover any of thermodynamics. S ≥ k is a really odd axiom to start with. It certainly doesn’t superficially imply the second law. It’s also rather at odds with the usual statistical formulation in which the entropy of a system in its unique ground state (or simply a system without meaningful microscopic states) is zero. Imagine trying to describe the behavior of a single (idealized) particle in a box using this law — you would get very confused very quickly.

For non-physicists: you can model a gas as a bunch of almost entirely non-interacting particles in a box. You can assume that there is some way for them to exchange energy, but you don’t need any details at all of how that works. With some care (and IMO a really fascinating series of arguments) you can derive the ideal gas law and a whole lot of useful thermodynamics. As a first hack at reducing it to one sentence, I might try “at equilibrium, each unit of phase space (or each discrete microstate in a discrete system) is equally likely.”

(I personally find statistical mechanics much more intuitive than classical thermodynamics. I have always felt like E, H, F, and G are mathematically correct quantities that come from manipulating partial derivatives but that they mostly lack intuitive value. The quality of the average thermodynamics textbook doesn’t help.)
Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to check out that book too.
If you live in a development that was built in the days of lead paint, IMO it seems fair to notice if your next door neighbor is carelessly demo'ing or sanding the exterior. Lead dust from their work can blow into your life.

This comment would be a lot more useful with a link to the specific study you're referring to, instead of a fairly vague hint of its existence.
Most beginner/intermediate programming stuff is going to be an awful fit, focusing entirely on the wrong material, wasting your colleague's time. A numerical analysis course (at my university, this was 300 level) might do the job. The basics of programming should be pretty easy to pick up for somebody with well-honed analytical skills, and numerical analysis is a good fit for what your colleague will actually be doing.
My understandimg of Polylith so far, in the context of "untangling development and production" is that you might put together components and bases differently in dev vs prod. If that's correct, untangling development and production seems to run counter to the idea of trying to match development and production as closely as possible (eg with containers to mimic environments better) to make testing more accurate/realistic. Based on my very limited experience, I don't really understand why you would want to drop dev/prod parity entirely.

Having said that, I'm sure it's possible to run the prod version(s) locally and test them, but then don't you lose the benefits of separating deployment complexity from development complexity since you're now running the prod version locally anyways?
The Americans value freedom more. As far as I know, only western Europe considers children as belonging to the state, not the parents.

Many Romanians who moved to places like Norway were shocked to see how children are treated there. In Sweden they have banks of the blood of all the babies since 1975 in storage forever ( https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKU-registret ). Scary stuff.
Apple also locks down their ecosystem so nobody except them can actually make a "just works" product. How many smart UX people and engineers do we have on HN itself?

"But Apple has to lock it down, otherwise it would be a shitty ecosystem, just look at Windows lol" is a lame defense (IMO). There are countless ways to design open APIs, open data standards, etc while still having sane defaults for the non-pro users.
As somebody who grew up 5 hours north of Toronto where the primary industry is agriculture, I find this incredibly insulting. Do you think a picture in a textbook exemplifies the entire region? Go look at satellite photos of the triangle Ville-Marie, Rouyn-Noranda, and Val-d'Or and tell me what you see? It will be nothing but farmland and this is in the dead center of the Canadian shield.

I looked into this a short while ago and came to the conclusion that fruit is probably ok. It's root vegetables that are the worst and then leaf and stem, then fruit doesn't seem to pick much up even from fairly highly contaminated soil. I now can't find all the papers though, so YMMV.

I enjoyed it! worked reasonably well for the city I tried. I did have a few nitpicks, but they are mostly datasource related as opposed to anything you can control - the several rounds i played included a pedway system, several walking trails, and a private driveway. Only change I might suggest making is the radius of the pin - getting a 99/100 for being 6m off because the pin didnt go exactly where I thought it was. Or is there any way for the pin to snap to an object?

“Robustness” of results is a serious problem for any kind of computational geometry, because computational geometry algorithms generally only work when various assumed invariants (based on ideal arithmetic) actually hold, but those can easily be violated by arithmetic with rounding. When invariants are violated, the result can be an infinite loop, a program crash, or a comically incorrect result,

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/robust.html is some famous work from the mid 1990s showing how to achieve provably correct results in a computationally efficient way (on a CPU).
The critical difference is that laws can be changed, contracts are immutable.
at all levels ? there must be limits to this approach right ???

otherwise this way of thinking gets terrifying fast and rapidly descends into conspiracy theory land

example: "need to find a socially-acceptable solution to a demographic time bomb caused by decades of one child policy, while still maintaining ethnic homogeneity ? perform gain-of-function research to develop a vector that disproportionately harms the elderly"

to be absolutely clear, I don't believe this was actually the case in 2019 at all - but as an no-limits "end justifies the means" thought exercise - it is easy to arrive at inhuman dystopian nightmares
If this works, it means pretty soon will work sending whole application window from iPad to macOS and vice versa inside some "iEnvelope" Swift wrapper which will allow much higher interoperability. Will be exciting to see it, but at the same time it's disappointing how slow the progress of improving end user OS UIs is.
People have got to stop suggesting this. It doesn't make any sense and it's usually a waste of time.

First of all, the example in the article is computing eigenvalues. Let me ask you: how do you expect to calculate eigenvalues using rational numbers? As a refresher, if it's been years since you took a look at linear algebra, the eigenvalues of a matrix are the roots of the matrix's characteristic polynomial, and we remember from high-school algebra that the roots of a polynomial are often not rational numbers, even if the coefficients are rational. Therefore, using rational arithmetic here is a complete non-starter. It's just not even possible, right from the very start.

However, let's suppose that the particular problem that we are interested in solving does admit a rational solution. What then? Well, our real-world experience tells us that we often need an excessive amount computational resources and memory for exact, rational answers to linear algebra problems even of modest size.

As you perform more computations on rational numbers, the memory required continues to grow.
Those are all reasonable beliefs, but still fall in the category of “faith”.
It's deeper than that, since you also have the "competitive" telcos.
Did the dependency on slavery directly set the south back economically, or was it the destruction from the civil war?
>Even the PC Master Race brigade who love to shout that they could build a better machine for less than whatever desktop Apple releases miss the point.

Apple locks their ecosystem so nobody else can make a smooth seamless experience. They ensure that only they can deliver such an integrated experience. I respect the effort of their engineers, but there are countless smart UX people and engineers in the world.
Is there anything that can even be done to treat lead exposure long ago?
Yes. And OpenWRT is hardly an improvement.

Luckily, every other hop you traverse across the internet is untrustworthy too, so having a bad router shouldn’t worry you. Treat your home wifi like you treat Starbucks wifi.
True, but then they run arbitrarily slowly, and it's trivial to reach cases where this actually happens.

And anything without a rational result you're stuck again.
Yeah, I know something is happening in my brain's state, but it's no proof of anything else "out there". But I can completely understand those people now, and how they can take this feeling and believe there really is something else there.

Though it's infinitely more likely it's all still inside my fleshy brain. :)
It is a little bit of both influencing each other, but the system in London is definitely the killer app. My understanding of the history is that there are systems that have been entrenched in the London financial industry going back centuries due to the unique history of the City of London and how it administrates itself separately from the rest of England/ GB. It was the global hub during pax brittania, and remained the financial hub of the world after the war thanks to the Eurodollar. It was at this point that tax systems were devised involving their crown dependencies to obfuscate everything which made it a popular place to launder money. A lot of the opulence has developed along side over all these years.

So it was the case that London was the city of the world during the empire which made it the candidate for running the Eurodollar system to rebuild Europe which cemented its place as the financial capital of the world up until America financialized their economy in the late 70s, its colonies allowed for unique tax systems which made it even more popular.

I got most of this from the book entitled Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men Who Stole the World by Nicholas Shaxson, and the documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np_ylvc8Zj8 that was inspired by it.

No, I’m saying no computer will ever simulate it with only those equations. Higher level equations are needed which cannot be derived from the given ones, they can only be discovered through additional science.
In practice, wouldn’t this be regressive (tax poor more and rich less)?

Imagine a homeowner who uses public transportation, sends their children to public schools, and and supplements their income with public assistance.

They need to create a price for their home. They live in an area with good public transit and good public schools. These public services figure heavily into the price of the house, pushing it up for tax purposes.

Imagine the same house being owned by someone who sends their kids to private schools and drives everywhere. The quality of public schools and transportation doesn’t affect the value of the house.

In practice, people who are poor are less mobile than people who are wealthy. This tax system favors people who are mobile (and don’t consume public services).

How important is it that you stay at your current residence? The more you make, the easier the move (moving costs money too).

Also, because public assistance doesn’t change with the value of the home, the larger the tax payment, the greater the fraction of the tax bill it is.

This sounds nice, but is ultimately a tax on people who aren’t mobile.

Possibly. I cannot find anything on the official immigration website (https://extranjeros.inclusion.gob.es), but newspapers still write about it. Some reports are positive (exclaiming 10% of the population in targeted areas, but that turns out to be less than 20,000 people in total).

I think you can (and should) use your own judgement in how much detail you want to provide. It's the same with a normal interview question: on any question you have the choice to give a short concise answer or go in to great detail. For some of these questions I would provide a fairly short answer, on others a much more expansive one.

I don't know who gets this assignment: maybe they're very selective about it, or they shotgun it to loads of people. The intro text leads me to believe that it's not shotgunned, but hard to be sure.

Most intro calls I've had were 100% a complete waste of time for both of the participants by the way, where they just read what's on the website and job posting ("I can read thank you"), and you just repeat what's on your CV ("surely you can read too?"), after which you're typically given some technical assignment or a second (actually useful) interview.

> 5. Heavily biased toward native English speakers. I have worked with people who can clearly communicate their thoughts but make English grammar mistakes. The worst part is they bill this as an attempt at avoiding bias.

English is the language in which Canonical communicates, and selecting for English proficiency makes sense, just as selecting for proficiency in $technology makes sense. Does this advantage native English speakers? Sure, but that can't really be helped I'm afraid. I've worked with non-native coworkers (as a non-native speaker myself, I should add) that were a pain to work with because half the time they wrote some documentation there were so many odd grammar mistakes that it was hard to read, and in some cases very unclear. So the bias is skill-based.

I always get lost in Google Drive. I don't even know what I am looking at in Google Drive. I wouldn't say, one of the worst UIs in existence, but it is hard to give any more credibility to it. After years of use, I still don't know what I own, what is shared with me, what others own, how are docs organized, etc. At least with dropbox, you have a folder structure. With Google, it's hidden somewhere.
