> Easwaran's translation is the best

If you want a balanced, philosophical, explanatory, and a direct version, go with the translation by Servapalli Radhakrishnan. SR was an educator, philosopher, and the first Vice President of free India. He later became the President of India.

As far as I know Hacker News and the people that dwell on it, this translation [0] will be an ideal fit.

It is deeply wild that the “hello world” project of arduino like systems is to on-off modulate a ~500 THz electromagnetic wave emiter. (Aka blinking an led)

Also that if you want to emit in the mhz range you need permissions and specialist equipment, but in the ~500 THz range you can just use a sub-dolar part and go ham with it without needing to be a ham.

Stashes are more appropriate; since they're really just handier references to commits they can be cherry-picked too, as `stash@{N}` where N is the zero-based integer for which one you want.

(You can even `git cherry-pick stash@{0}^` for the commit the stash was made at. It really is just a commit made at that point, with that parent, only without updating HEAD, or the checked-out branch.)
Hey OP, use airalo.com (or their mobile app) if you have an iPhone or a phone compatible with virtual eSIMs. Works in most countries. You can activate a plan from your phone in minutes, usually for under $10. Most plans are data-only but you can make calls over WhatsApp or Google Voice or something similar.
I'm not a Buddhist, but one of the themes in many of Miyazaki's games is suffering caused by an endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. There's a major focus on breaking that curse, and accepting death in many of his games. My completely naive, outsiders perspective is that this might possibly be analogous to samsara and nirvana. I think this theme is particularly present in Sekiro, which has explicit Buddhist themes and imagery, and where the main character is constantly reborn, and seeks to end that cycle.

But yeah, I'm not a Buddhist, so I would absolutely be interested in a Buddhist's interpretation of the games. Miyazaki pulls from many sources and inspirations, and I think Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism are both present in there (as well as a myriad of inspirations from Western culture and history as well). The games are honestly an amazing example of the immense creativity that can come from a melting pot of ideas from many different cultures.
also worth noting that you can ask the fpu to trap to catch some types of precision loss or fp underflows.

Fits the recent news about running out of cruise missiles, hesitancy to fly the planes too close due to high rate of loss, and overall desperate state of failure leading to the desire to use Wunderwafe.

In addition to planes and helicopters, Ukrainians yesterday first time shot down by a Stinger Russian ballistic missile Tochka-U.

And Russian helicopters are forced to use new tactics of firing unguided missiles of close ground attack - now they launch them from large distance onto ballistic trajectory while running helicopter at high angle of attack. Naturally these missiles hit everywhere except the intended target.

In the other news Russia, due to high losses, started calling of some reservists while "Russian Guard" (an organization functionally similar to Nazi SS) has been stepping up pacification of the occupied territories including massive arrests - using prepared lists as well as randomly on the streets - and unknown fate of the arrested.

Coda is a slick tool for building interactive documents!

We're focused on allowing non-technical folks to track metrics and data from third party tools (although we do also support pulling live data on tickets/PRs from Github too, as that is something that most operators, particularly founders at early stage co's are interested in tracking to see dev team activity, open bugs, etc)
Same story. 2 years ago, 2nd button from top on right side was always "mute". Now it never works in any pump I've tried. Disappointing.
I think you misunderstood - What I meant was nobody except Apple can do it for the APPLE ecosystem.
Working on legacy code, doing work that isn’t the fad of the month, is not the same as a BS job. That kind of work is the least likely to get automated or deprecated. Right now data science and ML are increasingly automated and commoditized. Cookie-cutter web sites are easy to build with SAAS off-the-shelf. It’s the niche custom domains and legacy code maintenance that are not commodity work or the target of “no-code/low-code” tools.
Many have reached US levels of economic output per hour. The key difference is that while Europeans have opted for better work-life balance, Americans are increasingly worked to the bone. There seems to be no end to stories about people working 3 job, never having vacation, sometimes not even weekends.

The other challenge is that many other countries are more aggressive about keeping resource usage to a minimal. Compare e.g. usage or resources, water, land and energy per dollar of GDP and the US is really high.

European countries, Korea and Japan may not have as high GDP but is often on a far more sustainable path.

I used "if" in the sense of "if (i < 95)..." It's not arguing that i is always less than 95, just saying what the consequent is in the event that it is.

For many people, it is episodic/random; performance is variable by day, hour, and situation.
> The other key is that the hordes of people should be expendable.

Except that they really weren't.

The Egyptian pyramids, for example, had an entire support ecosystem around it--guilds, hospitals, lodging, everything. The people working on building the pyramids were probably slightly better off than the average person.
> ...it's a comprehensive look at how you do routine sysadmin tasks. The kind of thing that Linux pushes off to web tutorials or stackoverflow.

A lot of useful material with near-official status is kept under the Linux Documentation Project, https://tldp.org/ They have a git repository at https://github.com/tLDP/LDP

There are some cases of real churn in Linux but they're rare. The new init systems and such come with plenty of useful features that simplify many administration tasks: the reason for people being so unsatisfied with them is that they bring lots of what's effectively cowboy-coded hacks and prototype-quality code in order to enable these features. But rewriting all of this stuff from the ground up with a clean, Unix-like design (or rather, Plan9-, Limbo- or Amoeba-like, given that Linux now supports the needed foundational features for these) while preserving its feature set would involve more rather than less churn.

If you're playing around subnormal numbers [0], most modern processors automatically switch to a microcode based calculation mode to preserve these numbers. However, these algorithms are very expensive, so it's not desired unless explicitly needed and generally used as an escape hatch for edge cases.

If you donate money to a terrorist organization, there is a general assumption that those money will go to terrorism. This is why donating money to terrorism is a crime.

France has, buy providing funds to Russia, enabled the invasion of Ukraine. France couldn't know this would happen before Russia actually sent in the troops, but that claim of innocence is lost now. If you provide funds today to Russia we know what those funds will be used on, and with the knowledge the buyer carry some responsibility just as if they donated money.

The author asserts that simple coding interviews

But in my experience, someone who can memorize those basics can also memorize their implementations. So it is quite possible to have someone code a perfect BFS, but have no grasp of programming fundamentals.

"What the Buddha Taught" by Walpola Rahula is an extremely good book.

It limits itself only to direct teachings of Buddha, and it explains the core concepts and teachings of Buddhism by explaining everything simply.

The author is a revered scholar and his style of writing is excellent.
Once the police have the ability to arrest people for videoing them, they will use it whenever they please. Then argue after the arrest whether or not it was '8 feet' or not. The person video-taping still gets put into custody and has to deal with all of the consequences of that, including a not so gentle arrest. Then, best case, if they can prove it was outside 8 feet, they might get the charges dropped, but they won't be able to sue or at least it be very unlikely to succeed. The functional result (if this bill passes the senate) is that the police in arizona can, and will, arrest anybody they want to who video tapes them. Following that will be similar bills in other states.

Being arrested is a big deal and you could be in jail for some time, even if the charges are dropped. Whereas unlawful arrest could result in consequences for officers, this law would give that arrest at least a pretext of being reasonable, all they have to say is they misjudged the distance and then are off the hook - "honest mistake".

I tried bash first, with every bell and whistle added. I tried all the scripts and tuned my .bashrc and .bash_profile and PS1 and all the crap. It was a huge chore.

Then I tried switching to zsh with oh-my-zsh and all that. 42 million tunable bits and I still didn't get it to my liking.

Then I found Fish and 95% of the stuff was good enough out of the box. The only things I've really added was Starship[0] as a prompt - again good enough with pretty much zero configuration and fzf[1] for history search.

Now I use it everywhere, synced via Homeshick[2]

I still use bash to write shell scripts that aren't long enough to be converted to Python though.

I definitely get that it isn't for everyone. I'm not familiar with that author but I can relate via House Of Leaves and only really liking parts of it.

Looking at it from the opposite side, some people have no problem with the gameplay, but pay little attention to the aesthetics or dialogue and lore or item descriptions. For them they can instead look up YouTube videos or Wiki articles to explain things. I don't think it's a bad thing those alternatives options exist, but I think adding say a logbook like in Outer Wilds would cheapen the experience for people who really want to get immersed in the world.

I think practically watching a playthrough or just modding the game to make your character OP is the best workaround.
I’m saying the existence of crypto wallets does nothing to prevent another Facebook (or indeed the same one), just like the existence of PGP did nothing to prevent Facebook.

The metaverse identity problem is the same as the web identity problem, and it is in no way solved by yet another identifier just because you can attach a pointer to a monkey JPEG to it.
Maybe don't boot your Macs into third-party operating systems (high potential for thermal damage or even misconfiguring mainboard components such that it might cause data loss even when rebooted back into macOS ..if the BSP devs at Apple were sloppy in their initialization code or an "unknown state" is created). Linux on Mac, A/UX, etc. was a Thing back in the day when clock rates were lower and component densities were lower and the machines came chalk full of holes to let the heat out, so running the system "out of spec" had less potential for permanent damage.

Apple-sanctioned alternative operating systems such as VMware ESXi have also caused problems in the past and should not be used at all anymore because Apple does not seem to play well with others on that level (by releasing uncoordinated firmware updates).
All Facebook links have had a fbclid added to them for years now for the same reason, that's where I remember seeing these first.
I agree. For this workflow using a GUI to stage individual lines is just a lot faster.
The problem is if your rights are being violated by an officer, that officer is probably within eight feet of you. It's bullshit that you're not permitted to record your rights being violated.
Named parameters came from Smalltalk, and no explanation I give can equal the sheet beauty of reading smalltalk code.

I'm not sure I could devise a full explanation, but a concise example is in scientific libraries for functions like, `run_simulation(data, optimizer = "Lebesque", shearing_algorithm = "Neue", spline_intensity = "Forrester")`. The number of options can be very large.

Something seems odd with this. You don't just walk into TSUM a week or two before launch and pick up a new jump suit.
yup, but when you step down the aperture a lot (which is when the sun star effect becomes more pronounced), the aperture transitions from more circular to more polygonal, so with a lot of lenses, the behavior is that when your aperture is a few steps of fully open, it is basically circular but when you need the sun starts it's definitely there.
I’m not sure what they’re doing is legal either (not a lawyer), but I suspect it’s impossible to figure out from a job posting; not enough information.
No it's a very good example to your argument that "Anything custom made for the gov MUST BE FOSS" precisely because it is an exception, and an obvious and absurd one. That there is such an example makes a mockery of your position. See reductio ad absurdum.

This is good advice for many other contaminants as well.
What were the expectations and what are they measuring that exceeds that? I haven’t seen any comparison of the metrics. From my memory, the JWST was roughly a 10x upgrade relative to Hubble in each of spectral resolution, angular resolution, and platform stability. How are those numbers looking now?
well yes, that's what i meant with hosting my own.

but if you use svbtle, medium or substack or any other hosted platform, how do you back up that?
The title is editorialized to be misleading. They aren't moving to ban video recording of police.

The ban is on recording from within a distance of 8 feet, while the officer is interacting with someone else, which seems reasonable enough to me. There's nothing you're going to miss by standing 8 feet back from an investigation while you're recording.
> [...] realized that the author was full of shit.

Not only are her writings this way, she was nearly a wacko.

I will recommend to you a documentary where you can get to know the person better. The documentary is very nice, though.

The docu is "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace".
Nice and fun. Have you considered points of interest, photos from open sources like Panoramio or Creative Commons search, links to Wikipedia articles?

Sometimes I get stumped and I also want a picture to explain it
I admit I didn't completely get it until "Apple has an enormous painting of Steve Jobs" and was thinking "wow I really need to get up to speed on how quantum computing is used in today's tech stack"
I fail to see any significant difference between that and the explanations for the misbehaviours of children. Or adults, for that matter.
I think the wikipedia explanation is much better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

One deficiency is why apertures (effectively, the support structure in a telescope is an aperture) observe this behavior.

> No matter how fine these support rods are they diffract the incoming light from a subject star and this appears as diffraction spikes which are the Fourier transform of the support struts.

Like why is that the case?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_disk

Read this if you don't immediately understand why. This is the shape of the image you see when the aperture is circular. This is the Fourier transform of a circular aperture, which, in 1D, is a sinc function.

I can't give a straightfoward answer to elucidate further, but if you've done signal processing stuff before you can probably handwavey explain that if there is a Fourier-transform relationship with one function, due to linearity and spacial invariance, you can say that it holds for all functions.
I disagree. This feels like a similar overextension of the concept of intellectual property that brought us the Oculus vs Google case.

On the whole, the things that Copilot "steals" are the things that probably shouldn't be legally protected in the first place.
Then you should be happy that we're talking about refusing to cooperate in economic activity, instead of bombing schools and hospitals.

Me refusing to transact with you isn't a war crime.
According to the article, the ban only applies when the officer is interacting with someone other than yourself.
The crooks often already have a felony conviction, and are already living with the permanent consequences of that. The only remaining disincentive to crime for them is additional jail time, which can start to be seen as just a cost of doing business - X years for Y dollars.
"Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" - sort of like an autobiography of Richard Feynman but from recordings of some conversations. I'm a scientist and this resonated with me a lot.

"The Game" - very immature and sophomoric book. I was given this book by an acquaintance who was also geeky like me. I was painfully shy of girls until grad school, and this book gave me much needed confidence to talk to the opposite gender. A lot of the content is garbage but this book was definitely a life changer.

"Hobbit" - Great story that got me into the LOTR. Shorter than LOTR and hence why I put that on this list. Also about being brave I suppose. I'm seeing a pattern here.

"Good Omens" - Not sure why but when I read this book, I was convinced it was the best book ever written (and I used to read a lot of books in youth). Just witty writing and the occult I suppose.
They've had these same uniforms since 2015 [1].

I started with Bloodborne after mostly playing FPS and adventure games like Uncharted. Gave up twice in frustration. I think learning how to step back and do visceral attacks, which the opening area gives you space to learn, was critical. Now it’s my favorite game ever.

Also the game is designed around collaboration. People are supposed to discover things and share what they learned on wikis / Discord / etc, and help each other with cooperative multiplayer.
Sadly, neither of those are open platforms.
You think cops are gonna get out a tape measure before arresting you for refusing to move back further? "8 feet" will be like 20+ feet.
If you steelman the author's claim, the unsaid interpretation is, the optimal way of learning Physics is to solve questions. Lots of them. On the order of thousands for an undergrad Physics curriculum.

Reading the textbook and getting some concepts out is only a precursor to real understanding which is when you apply those concepts to scenarios in questions. Far too many people get stuck thinking reading the book and highlighting is sufficient, but it is only the foreplay not real sex.
If there was a contract, it probably would have helped a lot in the restraining order hearing. Which apparently had no issues happening faster than 18 months?
Very interesting. No I haven't, thanks
Children are not so weak as you seem to think. It was children at all levels that showed remarkable improvements through remote learning over in person learning.
> Pharo is more of a research experiment than anything practical than can be used to engineer complex systems, I know I tried. It comes with many flaws, first and foremost being a lack of vision (often seen in academia) that significantly holds back its potential. When it comes to Smalltalk, I find Squeak to be a far more grounded and coherent experience.

After spending a lot of time working in both systems, I unfortunately have to agree with this. However, the GToolkit folks (built atop Pharo) do have a pretty coherent vision and their systems shows it.

The biggest problem with Squeak, to my mind, is that not enough people are working on it. They are simply shorthanded. Even now there is a VM optimization ready to go that would improve performance 3x (SISTA), but it just needs a couple of months' work from what I understand. Vector graphics is another area where there could be worthwhile improvements. Juan Vuletich seems to be making the most headway there all on his lonesome, and while he's made a VM plugin, his work is really only for Cuis Smalltalk and not Squeak.

Still, I've tried to push more and more of my routine work into these environments because I want my computer to be more like them and less like a Unix-with-lipstick.
