It is a bit more complex as well (the load on a grid has a real and an imaginary component). Many problems stem from the fact that most solar inverters can source Watts (real) but not VAs (imaginary). That means where traditional generators are able to use their inertia to deal with sudden bursts of capacitive or inductive loads in the net, inverters need to become smarter (or better coordinated) to stabilize the grid in all situations. Four quadrant inverters exist (inverters that can deal with all four quadrants of the real/imaginary coordinate system), but they are not especially wide deployed. Inverters with electronic inertia are in developement.

This aside of course one issue is storage, but it is not unsolveable at all.
Read Skinner. Conditioning can do wonders. You can train people like you train dogs, though there is a catch: people must not notice that they are being trained.

From ethics standpoint it is an arguable approach, so you need to think before choosing this path. I believe that something can be done about people not noticing the training, if you manage to frame this training in a manner that doesn't reject their illusion of a free will. But I'm not sure, because never tried. Though when you openly thank people for their help, it is a kind of reinforcement, and therefore conditioning. But it works worse then when reinforcement sneaks in without consciousness noticing it.
802.11ax probably won't help you for a point to point link. The only thing that would potentially help is the 1024QAM modulation, but unless you have really nice antennas, it probably won't work at that distance.

The three streams may not be helping much either, since there may not actually be much spatial separation point to point at several hundred meters. Best case, you're only going to get maybe a bit over half the link rate in real bandwidth. There's just a lot of overhead with wifi.

If you're using omnidirectional dipole antennas, you're losing a lot of signal strength at that distance by radiating mostly in the wrong direction.

Your best bet, I think, would be to use two sets of linearly polarized directional antennas offset by 90 degrees. That way, they're out of phase and you may be able to get 2 independent spatial streams. Alternatively, use two directional antennas but point one set indirectly at a big flat metal wall or something, in the hope that the signal reflects and intentionally gets some "multipath". Also, turn off "legacy" support so that you're using lower overhead greenfield preambles.
I started with it a long time ago and spent a lot of time learning the rack and tools, instruments. And it's worked well for me so I stick with it. I've used Digital Performer, Logic and Studio One and just never found them to be significantly better.
Russian retreat leaves trail of dead civilians in Bucha, a town near Kyiv
I was also confused, but about an apparent gripe against cooking in sequential order. To be fair, tbsp is universally acceptable, but the apparent apparent ignorance of metric measures among US-centric authors is ludicrous.

To continue this off-topic rant, recipes have been receiving a lot of attention lately, and the medium is well overdue an overhaul to cut down on the fluff. A comprehensive wiki, with cooking markup (eg. Cooklang) would be amazing and would fill a long-overdue gap that hasn’t been filled since Larousse Gastronomic was released. The idea that recipes are ‘owned’ by someone who happened to publish it first is crazy, but could nonetheless be addressed with an attribution license (eg. the new MIT-0?)
During COVID, as a CTO, I tell my team to DM me after stand-ups if they aren't sure about their tasks or work, or even how to get started. I'm more than happy to spend 2-3 hours on a separate remote call with an individual, where we go through a socratic'ish discovery, using things like draw.io or mermaid to quickly sketch out concepts and architecture. Often this then sparks them to go through their own discovery, and the next day or 2 they will request yet-another call to then propose their design and implementation, and this is yet-another opportunity for us to discuss and hone their work.

So in-short, yes, self-learning is required (always is, always will be), but if your senior can do some sort of guided self-learning, I'd like to think you would then gain the confidence and be more than capable of picking up the necessary skills, along with the sometimes-serendipity that comes from such paths to discovery.

(sadly, my CEO is does not share this remote work mindset, which is why if anybody is looking for a CTO, please DM me...!)

It makes no difference. Apple's past behavior has alienated enough people from their brand that they must provide such a large 'eco-system' themselves. For Windows, Linux and Android it's the users that provide those tools instead.

>Revenue, operating income, and cash flow metrics undersell how Apple is performing in the marketplace from a new user perspective.

If anything, then the financials oversell their position in the market. Apple is not in the lead in (almost?) any category in the number of users. They are the premium product, but a premium product that many users want to avoid, rather than can't afford.

But ultimately being second has been very smart by Apple. It has allowed them to not be punished by regulators for their (previous) bad behavior.
Most people never have been and never will be interested in cooking as a creative outlet, and trying to convince them to do so is a highly arbitrary goal only fueled by your own subjective interests.

The vast majority of people just want to make some shit to eat everyday. And precise measurements are great for that.
It’s tricky - people have different tastes, and ingredients may change from region to region.

Furthermore, making people measure things with a scale rather than a cup adds significant effort and time in the scheme of things.
The GSL library is indeed great! It provides a free implementarion of all methods described in NR, and many more. The source code of GSL is somewhat readable, but I find NR still very helpful for the textual descriptions of the methods.

Also, the venerable ccmath library by the late Daniel Atkinson is an extraordinary jewel of readability, simplicity, portability and performance among numerical codes.

I mean, you're not wrong but Gutenberg has a long way to go to be considered half-respectable. I am more worried about the exodus it is going to cause once they do get it right.

Website builder products and theme developers will wish they had a way to unionize once it happens because there is a lot of potential for the Automattic team to just take over that business themselves. And I wouldn't be surprised if it has come up in discussions, too.

> Confiscating someone's land should also be illegal

Genuine question, why?
Yeah, this is the central thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand.

Housing can either be a good investment that outpaces inflation, or affordable in the long run. Having both is not possible.

Setting aside some amount of housing units to remain affordable is not a good long term solution - we have it here, and it's basically ended up as a lottery with a side dish of corruption.

In order to really fix this, a lot of property investors will need to lost a lot of money on their investments. Problem is they tend to also be political donors, so not many politicians seem interested in doing this.
Your answer seems to be about WINE. The question was about ReactOS.

While I do not think that ReactOS is managed as described, I see no reason ReactOS could not meet its goals in this way. From a practical stand-point, I do not think it is possible today as few ReactOS components are complete enough to work in a real Windows environment. Certainly some of the user space stuff gets tested like that though.

Both GNU and BSD were created by starting with stuff that worked in real UNIX and filling in the blanks until a full system emerged. So, it seems a very practical approach.

The opposite happens sometimes as I have seen reports that say that something works on ReactOS when using one or two DLLs from real Windows.
I think you hit the nail on the head.

Choosing a random float is not the same as choosing a random number.
That's only part of the story.

WordPress provides hooks that make it possible to alter the editing experience in the first place. It would be far cheaper to simply alter the API's to stop making this possible. Of course, that would break a ton of plugins and turn away a chunk of the community. So, the big question still remains: why offering a fundamentally different editing experience through Gutenberg and block editing?

While wp.com and wp.org are different organizations, they are tightly intertwined through code, functionality and a shared design vision. WordPress itself has come a long way from it's original value proposition: a tool for bloggers. Today, it's used as a platform for managing media experiences that powers a big part of the marketing and online communication & publishing industry.

There's big money in being able to sell a seamless, integrated, flexible editing experience that allows publishers to quickly design and publish online flyers, set up marketing / advertising / informational campaigns and so on. WordPress isn't the only CMS that moves towards such an integrated media experience. Others, like Drupal / Acquia, are on a single trajectory as well. And then there's plenty of CMS'es like CraftCMS, OctoberCMS, Ghost and so on.

The downside is that the adding a layer of bells and whistles to the UI, as well as the added complexity to the theming API (block themes,...) tend to alienate the original user base. Many of those used WordPress because it sat at that sweet spot of being able to relatively easily deploy, customize and publish on your own personal weblog.

Sure enough, WordPress still offers to create your own blog. But it's not the same tool as it was some 18 years ago. Neither is the Web the same as it was 18 years ago. And so, to many of its original users, wondering whether WordPress is still the right tool to maintain a personal blog in this day and age is a very real question.

What applications call for a "random float in [0,1]" with distribution defined in the space of fp representation and not the usual kind?
It's not quadratic or cubic: it's the fourth power.

Somewhat mitigated by large vehicles having more axles, but each of those axles counts.

So if a 40 tonne lorry has 5 axles, the vehicle does (5/2 * (40/5)^4/(2/2)^4) = 10240 times the damage of a big car weighing 2 tonnes, and 163840 times the damage of a car weighing 1 tonne.

Which, does mean that the vast majority of road wear is down to heavy vehicles. But it does also means an SUV or a Tesla (2 tonnes) causes 16 times the damage of a Micra (1 tonne).
That's literally a plot line for an episode in Big Bang Theory, turn out Sheldon has good social skill after all.

Life is arts huh.
I'm not sure the pandemic is solely or even largely responsible.

Zoomers are the first generation with nearly unrestricted access to social media essentially from birth (access that probably should've been restricted early on, but that's water under the bridge). Couple that early and frequent exposure with artificial echo chambers created by apps to boost engagement, and impressionable minds end up soaked in endlessly-amplified negative perspectives.

The test case for this was 4chan incubating incel/redpill culture and Reddit later amplifying it among late-millennials. Today, EDs, ideation of self harm, etc are all mercilessly reflected back at people on just about every social media platform rather than just the niche ones. The pandemic only made it worse by preventing people from spending time with each other in person, but kids are glued to their phones anyway.

$1 Bet: millennial parents will probably learn from this with their own kids. Or if not, legislators probably will. Late Gen-α and the generation that follows will hopefully see a rebound from these trends with parenting habits that benefit from these learnings.
That is the goal. In practice, that does not work yet.

>why is the housing crisis still persistent in NYC and Chicago
Using Google data, New York has a land area of 783.8 km^2, where as SF has 121.4 km^2. New York has around 10 times the population of SF, with around 5.5 times the area. Yes New York has a housing supply issue, but it's able to host twice the density. Housing would always be a problem in a place that's desirable to live, but NY is much better at meeting that demand than SF.
Half my friends say they work less than 1 hour a day remote. Literally attend standup, complain they are somewhat blocked or investigating something and then just work on personal projects or just game. The rest are doing chores because their spouses are not considering them working because they are "home". All kinds of chores from pick up the kids to take the dog to the vet.

Whoever says overall productivity increases, is probably talking about very disciplined individuals.
Your employer vetoed the idea?How are they related to that?
From another comment, I see you are on Firefox, but maybe these two plugins are available there too (or similar ones).

First, there is "dark reader", which also has a light mode. You can change things like brightness and contrast and this should make it possible to get the text to black on basically all websites by default. I say should, because I didn't try the light mode myself, just noticed it's there.

Secondly, a more manual and fine-grained option would be "Stylus" which lets you manage CSS snippets per URL (or part of URL) and injects them on pageload for you.

I do use both of them myself and wouldn't want to miss them. Of course they both need "read and write all content on all visited websites"-privileges, so that is something to consider as well.
This is a technical answer ignoring human factors, as you can often see on HN.

Poor areas are prone to have more violence, and sharing intimacy will make the consequences of that dreadful.

It's already hard to be weak or a pray in the dangerous part of town. But if you have to be in close contact with aggressive groups for your daily living, it will turn into a nightmare.

Imagine a woman having the pee at night, how safe would she be if she had to exit her flat, cross the corridor and go to public toilets where people also sell drugs ?

Doorm rooms are fine in universities or back packers because people seeking education or travelling are usually not the same ones are those who will mug you.

But as someone who went to a poor high school: the rules are not the same there, and the law is going to help you.

In short, such proximity would allow a minority of destructive people to make the entire neighborhood hell.
For example you when you want to do fuzzing of some algorithm that uses floats, a random float might come in handy.

Exactly. It's like inventing a knitting machine and reaching out to hand-knitters. You're offering to destroy through automation the thing they enjoy. The right market to reach out to would have been consumers of writing.

Ask HN: C++ or Pseudocode for teaching high schoolers
My sister is a substitute teacher, not in the US, who has to teach a learn to program class and apparently the options are either C++ or pseudocode.

What would you choose and why?
I find this very manipulative. You change the world to fit a person, who ends up consuming his circumstances. The whole point of growing as a personality is wanting to grow and learn. People should know what their issues and blockades are, and put effort into it, so that they may teach others their findings and methods.
Dont dwell on choosing todo apps. Pick any reasonable one and use it alot. Habit > software.

The main thing you need is for it to sync. Text file and dropbox is fine.

The Microsoft one is pretty advanced and easy to use. That is my go to.
I always had the impression that NR was about getting a broad overview of the field. I imagine each chapter covers at least a whole field of numerical research. If you’re working on applications of numerics, it is indeed important to know what’s available out there. The NR code itself I’ve never used, really.
> No one who has ever worked remotely themselves could possibly believe that employees are more productive in an office

Anyone who makes a statement like this is naive ay best. Some people thrive on environments with other people around. Some people don't have a home space conducive to working (either lack of space or having other people living with them). Some people work _much_ better in areas of places where they have supervision; that doesn't mean they need to be babysat just that having someone around keepz them in line and performing well.

> Working from home is better in every instance where it’s possible.

For you (and for me). But that doesn't mean it's better for everyone, and dogmatically claiming it is weakens the argument for everyone else ("well Fred needs to be in the office and if it doesn't work for Fred it doesn't work for everyone")
I think that Adobe Photoshop started as Tom Knoll’s masters thesis. It might have been his Ph.D thesis. Not sure.

I saw it demoed in Ann Arbor, back in ‘89, or so; before Adobe brought it. It was introduced as “A friend’s masters thesis.”
I meant guides like these:

- https://www.wikihow.com/Portforward-Minecraft

- https://www.technewstoday.com/port-forward-minecraft/

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X75GbRaGzu8

Most of the guide you linked is related to setting up Java and configuring Minecraft itself, you only need the port forwarding bit.
You can apply the core ideas of Hacker's Delight to floats too. Your example problem, taken from [0]:

float frand( int *seed )
{
union
{
float fres;
unsigned int ires;
};

seed[0] *= 16807;
ires = ((((unsigned int)seed[0])>>9 ) | 0x3f800000);
return fres - 1.0f;
}

You basically assemble a float building a random mantissa and
assigning the right exponent and sign bits.

It's not portable, but it's a very neat trick!

What do you mean by gene expression sites? If you mean enhancers, afaik you can excise and insert them anywhere in the chromosome and they will still effect function in cis.
it is true that the promise of dl succeeds at finding some handcrafted features. it is also true that (at least the last time i checked), the state of the art is still making use of handcoded transforms that are derived from results in psychophysics.
Pointing out that exponential growth will hit resource constraints soon, or already does (like copper which keeps getting more and more expensive) is just a FUD for you...hard to have sane discussion then.
I don't know about a better book, but I do know how to generate a random float in [0, 1] very efficiently and accurately. A 2007 paper describing the technique is Generating Pseudo-random Floating-Point Value by Allen B. Downey. I have implemented it here in Rust: https://gist.github.com/orlp/121bb95361cc74b88aff79a7335a1a4.... This is for generating in [0, 1), but it is trivially changed to allow 1.0 by changing

while exponent < -127 || exponent > -1 {

into

while exponent < -127 {

It uses a single call to the RNG 255/256 = 99.61% of the time, if it has to use an extra RNG call the chance it then needs another after that is 2^-32, ad infinitum, which is negligible. More calls to the RNG could be needed if the exponent it generated was out of bounds which is also incredibly, incredibly unlikely (~2^-33 for [0, 1), ~2^-127 for [0, 1]). Thus the expected number of RNG calls is essentially just 255/256 + 2*1/256 ~= 1.00391.

A friend of mine also made a blog post that includes another implementation and discusses it: https://lokathor.github.io/prng/.

The difference between this technique and virtually all others out there on the internet is that this one is actually unbiased and can generate every single possible floating point value in [0, 1). Unbiased here means that the procedure simulates picking a real number uniformly at random from [0, 1] (with infinite precision), and then rounding it to the closest floating point value. We don't have to use infinite RNG bits to generate our infinite precision real number because we only have to generate enough bits such that it is unambiguous which floating point number we round to. The actual number of RNG bits needed is constant in expectation (see above), but unbounded, because our real number could be arbitrarily close to the boundary between two floating point values.
Unicode support is one thing. I frequently have to re-tag Japanese music because its tags are encoded in shift-jis which in general doesn't work on Linux.
Why should I pay for features I'm not going to use?
Imagine you have container ships named HDL and it is loaded with containers called triglycerides. You don't know how many containers you have. You just know you have this many container ships. Do you have too many containers? Do you have too many ships? That question cannot be answered with just one absolute number.

This is why the HDL to triglycerides ratio exists.
