I guess it must be common. I had a very similar experience at university except without the fillip of lecturers who actually had programming skills.

Same gig though. Set a programming assignment that's way too hard for the class, because they hadn't been taught programming properly (in this case, implement a few simple graph algos so hardly Firefox 0-day level). Realize too late that nobody can pass the assignment and retroactively change the marking criteria to be entirely based on writeup. Result: as one of the only people in the class who actually submitted the full three working solutions, I got one of the lowest grades, because "You explained the algorithm in 'detailed code comments'? Do you think I have time to read student's code? It needed to be submitted in a Word document alongside the submission."

This was at a UK Russell Group university, supposedly one of the elite. IMO universities are jokes. They were crap at teaching decades ago and that was before they were overrun with radical ideological activism. They're simply good at hiding the truth because academics are treated like gods - nobody believes students who say their teachers are terrible at their own subjects.
However, this is relatively new and there may still be some legacy engines around.
Some of those are close people ... others are not. Some might be are bullies who contributed too. That would not be rare either.

> Once you're dead you're dead, that's why causes of death aren't personal... there's no person left.

The family and actually close friends are left. And people who are about to die deserve to know their privacy will remain private too.
Cloud Run was also the sweet spot for me. Containers feel like the natural service unit.
Pedantry incoming, I have no serious criticism of your comment. I just think it’s interesting that we seem to agree but I thought your word choice was interesting.

Non-conforming is a funny word to use for this, so I’ll rephrase for clarity to represent a bit of a middle ground:

Even shitty kids should not be kidnapped or psychologically abused.

Brainwashing has lost all its bite in this day in age. I’m coming around to the opinion/usage that something as innocuous as public school can reasonably be understood to engage in the “brainwashing” of children. Same is true with ‘isolation, ‘surely, or is ‘No Recess’ no longer the most effective elementary school disciplinary tool?
Personally, I'm tired of every generation of Rogan-grade meatheads discovering this and believing they're the first ones to realize.

The internet now makes all of us witnesses to this phenomenon of badly educated people thinking this and other pillars of modern society are "secret knowledge" when they're basically just not educated enough to know about them.
Historical reasons - when Chromium was first open sourced, they really wanted to use Blaze, but that wasn't open sourced yet, so they built gn. Bazel (an open source subset of Blaze) wasn't a thing until much later.

Fuchsia is really close to the Chromium team and inherited gn and most of the supporting repo management and build tooling.

gn is less strict than Blaze and Google probably doesn't want to maintain both Bazel and gn forever, so it stands to reason that gn will eventually be replaced with Bazel. That will be a really large effort so it's probably not happening anytime soon and will take a while.

Android, which uses yet another home grown Blaze-alike build tool - Soong - is already in the process of migrating to Bazel. Moving from Soong to Bazel is probably much easier than going from Ninja/Make to Soong due to how conceptually similar those are.
See Tock OS https://www.tockos.org/ for another Rust-based embedded OS with a fairly comparable design to Hubris. The debugging capabilities of Humility make an interesting comparison to what's provided by cargo-embed https://probe.rs/docs/tools/cargo-embed/ and the Knurling Tools https://knurling.ferrous-systems.com/tools/ by Ferrous Systems.

Ultimately, the embedded space (including all sorts of low-level, retro, "bare-metal", remote etc. programming) has common needs and it would be convenient to see more widespread cooperation among these projects, improving reliability and avoiding wasteful duplication of work.

It could be useful in non-office situations too. E.g. on the London underground where you are stuck in a tim-can for 5-20 mins etc without any fresh air circulation
Sunlight is 93w/square foot, this would be under 4.5w/square foot good luck melting something at room temperature with that. I think you have a poor intuition about the difference between point sources and energy across an area.

Anyway, math is math but presumably this is why that’s the legal limit. It’s low enough to be safe while high enough not to be expensive for manufactures.
So maybe free-to-play simply has to be the future of multiplayer games?

And yet they put me off because you're constantly confronted with mechanisms designed to make you pay. I don't mind paying for a game, but once I'm playing, I want to focus on the game, not the payment.
> "at three quarters on ten"

What a mouthful. Can I ask you to write how it is written and spelled out?
Is the source legit?
I found only Ukrainian sources claiming Uralvagonzavod ceasing production, no Russian sources. It also has military and civil branches, even if some civil production stopped it does not mean military branch is affected.
That's not my experience as long you don't want the Nautilus etc.
Email zoom your info. They have excellent Linux support and staff work to resolve issues quickly.
For me the problem is not so much the direct consequences of paying, but the subtle hidden differences between a game that offers things to buy and one that doesn’t. The amount of money you will pay for something will never be worth the time you’d spend to unlock it for free. Maybe you can pay $1 dollar for something that would take a couple of hours of play time to unlock. Who has a shitty job that pays $0.50 an hour? So, the whole thing loses meaning completely. Why bother? I don’t know. Free to play games are to me simply another type of infinite scroll.
> I have the same problem with some apps and I want you to find a solution but I don't understand what this has to do with GTK.

I didn't say that it was a problem with GTK. I said that it's a problem in the dark version of the Adwaita theme. I disagree with the choice of the background and the foreground color.

> Theming is only a band-aid

It's the only solution that comes to mind, unless there's a One True Theme out there that works for everyone.

> I suggest at minimum turning the contrast down on your display or permanently enabling night shift mode.

I've already enabled night mode which reduces the gamma of the display. Turning down the contrast of the monitor doesn't sound right because there are low contrast, medium contrast, and high contrast themes out there. Fortunately, there are objective criteria to measure the contrast. When using gedit, for example, with the Adwaita dark theme, I got `#EEEEEC` as the foreground color of text and `#303030` as the background color which gives a contrast ratio of 11.36 according to the WCAG 2.0.

https://coolors.co/contrast-checker/eeeeec-303030

In my anecdotal experience, contrast ratios above 7 or 8 when using dark mode often end up causing halation which makes GTK apps unusable or uncomfortable for me for more than a few minutes.

Of course, some people may not have this problem and they might find these choice of colors as perfectly normal which is exactly why theming and user choice is important but it seems to be heavily de-emphasized in the GNOME world and the focus is on finding "perfect" solutions.

> Another option may be to pursue something like a gnome extension

unsupported, generally looked down upon, and called as hacks by the GNOME team, just like GNOME tweak tool and GTK_THEME

> No, the current draft allows changing all colors

Does it allow changing the background color of a window and foreground color of the text in a GTK app and would it be officially supported?
Ask HN: Did you get a good blog post written on Fiverr?
As a nerd, I often come up with interesting technical ideas. I would love to start writing a blog. The idea of finding someone with better writing skills than me to help me with the wording is pretty compelling.

Fiverr seems to be a big player in bringing together entrepreneurs and writers. I wonder if it is worth trying it out.

Did anybody here ever get a good blog post written on Fiverr?

If so, and you are open to link to it, that would be dope. I would love to read it.
Have you tried FreeCAD's Sketcher workbench? I think it fits your requirements. The only thing I'm not sure about are your import/export requirements.
AC, eh?

680kHz perhaps?

The first thing they should do it hook up this radio frequency “AC” to a speaker and see if it sounds like country music or traffic reports.

AC in a high impedance circuit is practically unavoidable, graphene or not.
The original Rubiks brand cubes would rely on the springiness in the plastic. These tended to be rather hard to turn with even the slightest misalignment. Copy cats invented the improved mechanism. These will turn with a misalignment up to something silly like 40 degrees. Rubiks copied this mechanism for their own cubes eventually.

Long story short, a random chinese Rubiks cube knockoff is quite likely to be higher quality than an actual Rubiks brand cube these days.
Thanks, just picked this up, look forward to reading this.

"Statistical Rethinking" by Richard McElreath gets a lot of people excited about statistics again, after having suffered through the standard curriculum. So it's a lure, but with the caveat that it does expect that you do already know quite a bit of statistics.
Can anyone help me understand why this is such a big topic in the USA? In the UK I have never come across this level of concern about maths. And it doesn't seem to be matched by worry about physics or other similar topics. I have seen this concern first hand, but never got to the bottom of where it comes from.
First of all you're missing how middlemen eat away at your money's value in the legacy banking system. This means that there's a lot more room for corruption within the fiat system, because it's top-lead and opaque. And that's also why the banks and political leaders cling to it, because just imagine the unfathomable wealth you can accrue by controlling all that! It's your secret ticket to covert taxation of the people, after all!

Meanwhile Bitcoin can only be influenced through transparent, though anonymized ownership (it isn't totally anonymous per se), and so no one party has monopoly over what should happen next. This is great, because it makes ownership and stewardship of it a matter of national security, since you cannot deny other parties, organizations or even nations from also owning a share of it, and so it also forces diligent cooperation across borders.

The same thing is true for gold, to an extent, but the handling and ownership of gold requires a ton more resources and security to be done safely, and it's also far less transparent.

And I haven't even started to discuss the other great properties of crypto, such as corruption, crime and extortion resistance. If you want to do either of the aforementioned crimes, then cash is simply a much better choice. At the same time it's also regulation resistant.

The fact that it's also inflation-proof is really just a bonus after all that. So all in all I think you should do more research and rethink your position on the many great alternatives to fiat.
Is that possible for .com domains?
The channel certainly has interviewed some fascinating individuals, but the repetitive lines of questioning he pursues are tiresome.

He almost always starts by asking if someone grew up with both parents. That's an interesting thing to know but interview after interview this question leads interviewees down the same path and it leaves blind spots.

I hardly ever hear him ask in depth about their early experiences at schools, churches, childhood friends, extended family, the healthcare system, sports, media, etc.

There are some Freudian assumptions baked into his interview style and I think if he challenged himself to try other angles he could go from humanizing the guests to individualizing them.
I mentioned it as a way of emphasizing that it’s not saturated. For not saying that current templates are the same: Hero, three boxes, left right left…

I would not say locked-in negatively as we mean it today (needlessly locked-in) because it wasn’t an opinionated way of using or limiting a standard, but a more powerful set of tools. For instance, it played audio and video which came later in HTML5.

If you wonder what happened:

There was Flash, Silverlight, Java applets, and Shockwave.

Steve Jobs indirectly killed them all, by not allowing them in iOS, because Flash had too many security issues.
Steel vs wood doesn't really matter. The key to soundproofing is having sound absorbing mass in between walls. As long as you fill the gaps between drywall with a decent amount of insulation it should be reasonably sound proof.

In fact many professional "sound absorbing panels" you might see in a recording studio or on the walls of movie theaters are made from insulation.
I use Waterfox Classic with Tab Mix Plus.

It's outdated and insecure, and I don't care. There simply isn't any other browser worth using for me.

(Though that may change now that there's a way to sacrifice all the new security features on current Firefox to run TMP again.)

> Desolation runs on an in-house modified version of the Source Engine

The "improved" lightning is not improved at all. Source 2 relies even more on backed lightning rendered on gpu farms because valve cares about majority of the people with non optimal gpus playing their games at 4k in vr, that's why you see crappy unreal engine games running 40 fps whilst HL Alyx is running at 90 with way better graphics. The desolation team is basically saying "welp you better get a 4090 Ti Super or you won't be running this at 120" .

Aside from that, I which them the best of luck, fan made portal games are always a treat.
Have you tried doing it as an extension [0]? Or, maybe even simpler, use an Inkscape scripting extension [1]. I haven't tried that myself yet, just following the repo loosely. But I feel something like "select two points, draw an orthogonally aligned double-arrow based on the two x/y pairs, measure its length and add some text" should be possible.

I don’t see mention of another fundamental concept to money and resource allocation here in the comments about this article. (I only skimmed it briefly myself as life is short) The measure of the economic valuation of anything that can be traded is based on a persons “willingness to pay” (WTP) for the trade involved.

This seems fundamental to both currency and anything looking to define itself as currency. I don’t see an inescapable reason for everyone to have a WTP to convert traditional money for cryptocurrency.

Take email. Everyone nowadays needs an email account for many critical needs. It might be possible to function as an adult without an email account, but that probably requires more than a few sophisticated machinations. And of course people pay for the infrastructure to have an email account - cell phone for a client, perhaps some privacy for a free email account or actual money for other email accounts. Email is actually so useful and critical that people are willing to pay many times over a course of decades in service of that email account. Email has many inescapable uses and most people are thus willing to pay to have the use of an email account.

The main problem I see when writing integration tests to assess infrastructure correctness is that they don't take into account architectural decisions.

You could very well use those integration tests to write Architecture Fitness Functions (which is implicitly what part of the test do) but having developers write those functions instead of architects risk the architecture decisions not carrying over to those tests.

For small use cases like this (s3, API gateway + lambdas, sqs, sns, elasticache) which although having many moving they come together more or less cohesively (they all depend on each other for a single feature), if your use case grows, by having ETL jobs, more async workloads, etc... You can start having issues with architecture tests not really covering all bases.

Regarding leaking so much cloud abstractions to the developer, I am not really sure what to make of this. I think the arguments of cognitive overload might well be valid, however a basic understanding of the target infrastructure is necessary for the developer to build applications effectively. In this case I think it works because they go all in on leaking abstractions, going as far as to provisioning a separate account for each developer. What won't really work is to have abstractions built upon abstractions to make developers think they are using the cloud (by emulationg the stack locally) when they aren't actually using it. So in this case being consistent is more important, either don't leak any cloud abstraction or go all in.
People often have good reason to not adopt existing systems. Oxide started with TockOS and have written and talked about why they didn't end up using it.

Yeah, the jewish conspiracy theories never made sense. If people with $1000 on their bank accounts want 3% interest they get $30, then they act surprised that this means that rich individuals also get 3% interest, which if you are a millionaire is $30k or 1000 times more. There's bound to be some jew millionaires or even billionaires because there are a lot of jews on the planet. Nobody cares about christian billionaires because they are too common.

It's kinda the same thing with land. Homeowners vote in regressive zoning and lower property taxes and then point the blame at high profile companies like Blackrock taking advantage of the same laws to boost their property values. A house price 20% increase is the same for everyone but real estate companies benefit more because they have more houses.

The fundamental problem is that everyone wants to benefit at the expense of other people and they let the big guys get away with it because restricting their benefit would restrict your own benefit.
>>"The issue with Graeber and others is they are looking for a historical account of barter pre-dating a historical record of debt, but they will never find it, because the record-keeping begin for the purpose of recording debt."

Is this is the case, it seems to me that the issue is not with Graeber and others but, with the guys that claim something about which there is not historical account.

>>"We have actual case studies of communities developing money prices from scratch: "

The point is not if barter is used sometimes or if some people, in some circumstances, would start using cigarettes as money, but if that's the main history of money, specifically in the context of early states, as has been claimed for many years without any kind of evidence.

The burden of proof is not in the guys that examine the historic and archeology evidence, but in the ones that want to sell a narrative without evidence.

To quote from Wikipedia:

```
Federated learning (also known as collaborative learning) is a machine learning technique that trains an algorithm across multiple decentralized edge devices or servers holding local data samples, without exchanging them.
```

basically you can train ML models collaboratively without ever seeing the other datasets. One example would be multiple hospitals training models to detect breast cancer without the need to exchange the data samples.

Another example is how Google trains models for the keyboard on Android. See here:

Hello OP!

What is your opinion on how to do DD on the buyer ?

In particular to address the question on whether buyer is fishing for insider knowledge, and not serious on their interest.

The article had 1 sentence on the subject, but didnt go into any details.

From experience, this is a critical point, possibly the most important point to establish pre DD.
Ya I agree, but that isn't ever going to pass as a law in the USA given the religious right and broken culture. I think everyone should go to public school and outlaw private schools as well. Everyone should start from the same system.

Totally agree on the idea of same-sex marriage.
I've always thought there was some potential for shooters with portals, but when I see Splitgate, it's not really it.

For me, a Portal shooter would include stuff like grenades, gun nests, smoke bombs and flashes, guns that are really heavy and slow you down, etc. Stuff that would reward maneuvering and outsmarting your opponent, ambushes, and lateral thinking.

Gameplay hightlights would be the moments where your opponents thinks they're sneaking up on your by shooting a portal behind you, only for you to sneak up on them because you knew they'd come out of that portal; sniping someone through their own portals, etc.

Splitgate just feels like an arena shooter with lots of teleportation.

No it's not. It's an issue because address translation is expensive, involving page table walks that require complex access to large in-memory data structures. CPUs cache the results but address space switches blow them away, by the nature of what they are.

Modern CPUs (well Intel CPUs at least) have lots of features to try and mitigate these costs but they aren't widely used. For instance memory protection keys.
