Stereograms were always a sore point for me. I could never see them. I can't see any of the ones in the post. I couldn't see the ones in the newspaper or the magic eye books. I've tried every suggestion I came across, squadoosh.
Add a third reason: moderation. If dang sees too much garbage coming from an account, he'll ban the account. And he knows when people create new accounts to escape the ban. I haven't heard him say so, but if it gets too spammy, I presume that he'll block the IP.
There are undoubtedly other changes involved, but BMW makes an ICE and electric version of their current 3-series. The 330i is 3,582 lbs vs the electric 330e's 4,039 lbs. Roughly 10%'s difference; quite a bit heavier!

For an apples to oranges comparison, a Tesla Model 3 is 3,648 to 4,250 lbs; a Honda Accord is 3,150 to 3,430 lbs. Totally difference cars, but same-ish external size class. Those battery packs are heavy!
I agree that PCIe is mostly shared memory system.

But for videocards this sharing is unequal, because their RAM sizes exceeds 32bit address space, and lot of still used mainboards have 32bit PCIe controller, so all PCIe addresses should be inside 4GB address space, and this is seen on windows machines as total installed memory is nor all, but minus approximately 0.5GB, from which 256MB is videoram access window.

So in most cases, remain in force rule, that videocard share all it's memory through 256mb window using bank-switching.

As for GPU read main system memory, usually this is useless, because vram is magnitudes faster, even if not consider usage of bus bandwidth by other devices, like HDD/SSD.

And in most cases, only usage of access GPU to main system memory, is traditional read of textures (for 3D accelerator) from main system memory - for example ALL 3D software using GPU rendering, could only use for this videoram, none use system ram.

Thanks for posting this. Yesterday I came across a job position on a company that does 100% mob(!) programming everyday¹. This means every programmer works 6 hours per day on a zoom call with 2 other programmers, rotating roles between typist, navigator and support every ten minutes.

I couldn't help but feel my soul being slowly crushed as I read further on their description of the daily activities. Needless to say, the filter indeed worked out. As someone with ADHD, I couldn't last a single day on a job like that.

Ask HN: How to restaurant tablet integrators work? (engineering wise)
I've seen solutions like: https://www.yourfareinc.com/tablet-solution and https://www.tryotter.com/products/order-management that seem to make a restaurant's life easier by integrating all the tablets they would-have from all the delivery apps into a single one.

How do they do this at a high level? Do they have to have some sort of tablet farm where they install the apps and somehow intercept network traffic (after logging in as the restaurant in each app)? Are there official APIs from the delivery apps?

Seems like magic and I would like to have an idea on how they work.
Yeah but then your account gets frozen for no reason
The problem with abstractions is that it seems that not making leaky abstractions is difficult for most people (most people making these abstractions don't know about the concept of an abstraction leakage in the first place)

Software engineering is extremely difficult
I am also just generally skeptical of reputations because of how they can outlast the behaviors that earned them. Years ago I worked for a great company, truly wonderful group of people with a really careful, respectful approach to work.

Then there were a bunch of big leadership changes and it turned to shit and I left. I kept on hearing about that amazing "culture" for 2-3 years after that, they actively used that reputation in recruiting even. I still knew people there and it was even worse than when I left. Once companies know they are known for something good they will milk it whether or not it's real.
I’m feeling this way too hard. I have a condition where any food I consistently eat I become sensitized to and begin developing severe reactions that are alike anaphylaxis in nearly every way but not quite as severe. I have been hospitalized several times now with starvation issues. Yeah immune suppressants sorta worked but you can’t exactly stop a full on immune response so it just bought a little bir of time.

(1) mast cell testing - negative
(2) ige testing - mostly negative but i also avoid things i react to
(3) endoscopy - mostly negative but some inflammation
(4) psychological - medications didnt do anything

(5) Non-allopathic stool testing from Genova Diagnostcs? astronomically high secretory IgA levels, high zonulin levels, disturbed gut flora populations and altered stool enzyme levels.
-> point this out to doctors
“sorry cant help ya there. _that’s unvalidated_”

Me - well fucking figure out something to try then!!!!

Dead end. I am so sick of evidence based medicine.
In my mind it is not a good system, because if the surgeon is looking at a much-more-difficult than average circumstance, than he could reasonably expect a lower-than-average result, but a result that might be much better than average for a case so difficult.

As a separate observation, any time data is kept, turned into metrics that then become the basis for goals ("I want to have a better-than-average success rate, as a surgeon") then the system gets gamed.

I had a boss once propose to down-rate agile teams that didn't get done everything they took on in a sprint. He apparently didn't realize that teams would immediate game the system by taking on less actual work. They could up their 'point' estimates for each task, and always get the work done.
I think you're being a little unfair to wastebasket diagnoses. you need something for insurance codes, for drug indications, for publishing research on. having a bucket of similar syndromes is a start for drilling down further. and often you can treat things supportively, even if you can't modify the disease itself.

doctors need to be up front with patients about wastebaskets though, and rule out other diagnoses. it's wrong to chalk someone's fits up to FND until you've ruled out epilepsy and other organic causes, for example. and even things like FND are probably "real", we just don't know enough about them yet.
It does, but those issues manifest themselves in ways that humans have been trained to operate.

"Round to nearest even" for binary floating point is weird to anyone who doesn't have a numerics background. "Round 0.5 up" is normal to humans because that's what most have been taught.

Future programming languages should probably default to Decimal Floating Point and allow people to opt-in to binary floating point on request.
CTRL + F: rain

As far as I know, they still don't/won't drive in the rain, and they operate safely and slowly. I want to believe this thing is moving forward, but I'm skeptical about building a marketplace where the service is unavailable exactly when demand is highest. It creates conflicts of interest, that at best, encourage actors to take risks that can undermine the entire industry.
Interfering by...having an opinion and following the law even though they don't like it? That's a bizarre standard for interference. I guess the ideal democracy is the DPRK, where 100% of people vote for and support the same Glorious Leader.
Yup. I drool over JetPens.com, Field Notes, and Doane Paper.
Yes! I’m responsible for a game development CI/CD pipeline that needs to run on windows and I feel like it’s harder than it needs to be in 2022.
Levy more tax and use it to expand more green energy.
In my experience, the biggest obstacle in understanding the system is that the underlying business process is not properly documented. A technical system is only as good as the business system it's implementing. Knowing the business process makes it much easier to understand the technical implementation, especially if you're trying to find bugs in the technical system since you can more easily see the mismatch between business and technical processes.

But hey, that's just me. And it seems clear that most businesses do a poor job, or don't care at all, when it comes to documenting their processes. So I guess I'm the odd one.
it's both. Explaining the case (by a support person) might be evidence used in court for wrongdoing. That's similar to the reasons why most interviews won't tell you why you are rejected.
Yeah, I looked up this overview https://www.templetons.com/brad/transit-myth.html and it agrees there's a difference from European/Asian systems.
“Data minimization — collecting the minimum amount of data required to support our services — is one of our core principles at Meta…”

Yeah, right.
This is very much a solved problem (see: coyote time), and is solved (for free!!!) by OS’s and web browsers. When you implement your own controls and do stupid stuff with JavaScript, you end up with exactly as you say.
You tune GC in Go by profiling allocations, CPU, and memory usage. Profiling shows you where the problems are, and Go has some surprisingly nice profiling tools built in.

Unlike turning a knob, which has wide reaching and unpredictable effects that may cause problems to just move around from one part of your application to another, you can address the actual problems with near-surgical precision in Go. You can even add tests to the code to ensure that you're meeting the expected number of allocations along a certain code path if you need to guarantee against regressions... but the GC is so rarely the problem in Go compared to Java, it's just not something to worry about 99% of the time.

If knobs had a "fix the problem" setting, they would already be set to that value. Instead, every value is a trade off, and since you have hundreds of knobs, you're playing an impossible optimization game with hundreds of parameters to try to find the set of parameter values that make your entire application perform the way you want it to. You might as well have a meta-tuner that just randomly turns the knobs to collect data on all the possible combinations of settings... and just hope that your next code change doesn't throw all that hard work out the window. Go gives you the tools to tune different parts of your code to behave in ways that are optimal for them.

It's worth pointing out that languages like Rust and C++ also require you to tune allocations and deallocations... this is not strictly a GC problem. In those languages, like in Go, you have to address the actual problems instead of spinning knobs and hoping the problem goes away.

The one time I have actually run up against Go's GC when writing code that was trying to push the absolute limits of what could be done on a fleet of rather resource constrained cloud instances, I wished I was writing Rust for this particular problem... I definitely wasn't wishing I could be spinning Java's GC knobs. But, I was still able to optimize things to work in Go the way I needed them to even in that case, even if the level of control isn't as granular as Rust would have provided.
I believe in string encryption. The difference is usefulness. I’ve seen others express this in this post’s comments.

Encryption is EXTREMELY useful, as history has proved. It has a great many beneficial uses, or at least benign. Yes it can be used by criminals, but that’s hardly its only use.

Cryptocurrency doesn’t seem to provide anything but something to speculate on, a way to sell hardware, and an unfathomable waste of resources. When people point out things it’s “better” at they always seem kind of sketchy, of require you to old the same values (independence from central government above all else). I see no inherent good after 14 years, just massive problems.

So no, I don’t think they’re comparable myself. I don’t find them similar at all for the purposes of the point I’m trying to make.
What kind of predatory behavior do you predict that would exist, but wouldn't get the app banned from the app store?
The surviving men, now older and many with life lasting wound, did come back and with the G.I. Bill got sent to higher education. After that many got work through war contacts. Young men did not exist in the work force. Conscription mean it wasn't a choice between going to work or go to military. Every male when they finished school went to military, and during two world wars most of them died as a result.

Were 18-20 year old fresh out of school treated different than a 30 year old that been through conscription and war. I can't say because I didn't lived through that period. What I can say is that people do treat 20 years old fresh out of school with a different level of respect than someone who been in the industry for 10 years. People also treat others different if they been working for 10 years and expecting to continue for an other 10 years, or if they are fresh recruits and only expect them to stay at the job for a handful of years.

All of that is however beyond the point of what I wrote above. I said that women were expect to work outside the home at a very specific period on their lives. The only one given exception to this was the aristocrats or millionares who could shield both their sons and daughters.
And as you might be alluding, particularly high frequencies: in the skin (via skin effect) of the wire!

I'll confess I have never seen a plot of actual rms current density vs radius related to skin effect.
Lately I've felt stuck in Dvorak copy/paste hell, where Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V are two-handed or right-handed operations, while using the mouse. I'd want some kind of keys on the left side of the keyboard for that purpose (even insert, for shift+insert or ctrl+insert).

I think with relocation for jobs, you won't encounter much issues.
I switched to Tutanota for email and calendar and it has been surprisingly flawless.

To make the transition easier I started by forwarding all Gmail emails to Tutanota and I've been slowly updating my accounts to the new email. The plan is to eventually delete my Google accounts completely.
Some countries are small. The Netherlands has a population of 17 million. About the size of Michigan and Arizona combined.
I gave a talk on that almost 20 years ago...

Basically you have (1) something you know (like a password), (2) something you have (like some device or key), and (3) something you are (like a fingerprint and iris scan).

Back then the accepted trade-off was that have any two of these three is good enough for most case, and for really critical stuff you need all three.

The MFAs in question here attempt (1) and (2), but do a bad job on (2).
I’m actually very excited to see AARP’s social network go live. It’ll be run by a non profit specifically for the cohort that’ll be using it, which better aligns the org’s incentives with that of its users. Yet another effort in clawing back power and audience from Big Tech.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/03/aarp-backed-soci...

“The social network was developed by an AARP affiliate, Older Adults Technology Services. OATS started out giving computer classes to older folks in New York City and has expanded its physical footprint over the years. During the pandemic, those classes moved online, and Senior Planet Community grew from that transition.”

“Besides its focus on the 50-plus set, Senior Planet Community stands apart from Facebook in that it’s not commercial. The site has no advertising or membership fees. Unless the cost to run the site grows substantially, that probably won’t present much of a problem. AARP isn’t saying how much it has put into Senior Planet Community, but the organization is famously well-capitalized, with $2.3 billion in net assets and $1.7 billion in revenue in 2020.”

Chicago is no St. Louis or New Orleans, but 1000 out of 100k is 1%.

One of the reasons I never consider living in the midwest again (Toledo) is because my bike was stolen so many times as a kid. Crime doesn't make for nice living.
I think you can shop around in Canada, if you have private insurance. the universal healthcare system is just a baseline, to keep people from dying on the street after medical bankruptcy. many jobs offer supplementary health insurance as a benefit.

the US just uses ERs as an infinitely shittier but equally costly version.
Yale, like much of US higher ed, is even more dependent on Federal spending and government tax breaks than ostensibly private firms like Lockheed Martin or Raytheon, who make products that only the government can buy.

It's not like it's Choate or Groton or St. George's highschool, where tuition and gifts need to cover expenses (and are still tax-free).
I mentioned in my last comment that Sudafed had effects in treating my ADHD.

Ultimately I couldn't use it this way more than a few days a week or I'd get lower back pain. I've also tried steeping ephedra tea but did not notice any effects on concentration.

Later on when I was formally diagnosed and prescribed proper meds I was placed on Adderall first and had similar unwanted side effects after a time. Ultimately, I settled on Dexedrine and no more side effects (other than insomnia if I take it too late) and haven't felt a need to up the dose for years now. It does still have decongestant effects like the other two.

Considering I'm caffeine dependent and can't cycle off daily intake without crippling headaches, where I cycle Dexedrine off on the weekends/holidays without any withdrawal effects, I'd have to agree: So long as it's a therapeutic dose it's on-par or safer than coffee.
CBOR has four defined timestamp formats---see https://www.iana.org/assignments/cbor-tags/cbor-tags.xhtml
I use Fastmail for email, contacts, calendar, reminders, and notes. I have been an extremely happy customer for several years and I am happy to promote them. I don't think I've ever used another web-based service that has such a high "usefulness/power : annoyance : money spent" ratio.

I use paid Seafile hosting for file sync. I haven't tried Syncthing, but the Seafile clients all seem to work very smoothly.
Please don’t. This violates individual rights and begs for hideous unintended consequences
And id youd rather not wait that long, Classic Tetris Monthly ( https://www.twitch.tv/monthlytetris ) on twitch is more frequent and just as good. This past months tournament had both the current CTWC champ (dogplayingtetris) and the current high score holder (Cheez). Several PBs, too. Its basically always worth a watch.

Oh and theres an edited youtube for matches and highlights: https://www.youtube.com/monthlytetris
In my personal experience, Windows development is absolutely awful. Nothing about it is ergonomic, and the management of the development environment is just painful. Obviously you don't always have a choice, but creating a nice development experience is clearly not a priority for Microsoft. One really basic example: I was deploying files to a Windows Server box using scp, but my internet connection died midway through the transfer. All subsequent deployments would fail until I could connect via RDP to kill the old SSH process holding an open file handle. Another example: I bought into the WSL hype, hoping it would solve all my problems. But you can't easily interact with files on the system outside of Linux subsystem, which made it more or less useless for my purposes. If I wanted to interact only with Linux files, I would have used a Linux-based server. Maybe I could get better at Powershell, but it felt overly verbose while also being less composable / powerful. The simple posix shell primitives were sorely missed. Running things on startup was also insane. I think I needed to add a triggered job that ran on user log in, and then configure the host to login a specific user when the host starts. Very crazy...
Liberty has nothing to do with masks (or seatbelts).
At least once I've been able to do this by reaching out to customer support.
Statistics are not the problem. The data is. 'Big healthcare data' does not exist. Building what you are thinking of would require huge data gathering capabilities, that are very clearly out of reach.

Most big medical co do a lot of data science (Kaiser and others). Very efficient from a managerial pov. Totally useless, medically speaking.
From what I've seen of people who go along with using their own phone for this, you can get the mobile prompt many times without doing anything, even when you're not being attacked (as far as we could tell, but I don't know what the actual cause has been). Sigh.
Trash Truck[1] show on Netflix is pretty good and calm. I feel super relaxed when watching it with my kids.

I got rid of my smartphone altogether 2 years ago and haven't missed it at all (we use my wife's phone in the car for Google Maps).

Before that I tried de-Googled Android and the experience wasn't great. Many of the alternatives can ostensibly do what the Big Tech product does, but there are bizarre pitfalls that break the experience. Stuff like OSMAnd having no business names and taking literally 15 minutes to map a route across town.
Further polarization and disregard for fellow citizens and consensus building.

A decrease in rights of all kinds as both parties expand the scope of government into regulating personal lives and choices.

Fiercer competition and extremism as everyone has more to loose depending on who is in power (because of fewer rights and increased scope).

More people will feel that they do not consent to the social contract and view the government as illegitimate, if not hostile to them.
Very cool! I would have loved this as a 12 year old. I used to play with Hypercard in a similar kind of way as flatgames.
Some users like being made aware of competitors to businesses. In new SAAS app areas, I'm sure the top 3 results will all be competitions to the business I'm looking for. Works reasonably well.

You would think something like this would increase competition between businesses (competitors surfaced immediately for users). Instead I guess this is seen by a bad thing - though it's not been clear to me recently that the FTC is looking out for users, they seem to have gone BIG into protecting businesses for some reason.
How strange, I've been using DDG for a few years now and only rarely do I need to go to Google. Do you have examples of searches where Google is definitely superior (just out of curiosity, not challenging the notion)?
>Food is a solved problem in the modern era.

It's "solved" if you can produce synthetic fertilizers from fossil fuels indefinitely.
Sure. And that's the free market at work. Those companies chose to take the actions they did.

As I said, the people raging about masks have a high correlation with people who talk about free markets, corporate rights, etc. It's the inconsistency that irks me here.
> These Waymo cars cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Any source on that claim? I thought they reduced the costs of lidar to be in the order of a few k.
The problem with the JMAP standard is that nothing seems to actually implement it. There is their proxy which was built in like a week and not updated and Cyrus. The latter which I couldn't (not for lack of effort) implement, and went back to dovecot which doesn't have an implementation.
Apple could almost certainly enforce apps offering unsubscribe functionality though a standard interface without forcing them to use their payment processing.

I'm not sure what you are getting at? As that article notes, in 2021 accidents only doubled while the autonomously driven miles more than tripled?

Waymo has been scaling their level of testing with their level of safety. What has changed is that Waymo think they are safe enough to start doing more widespread testing in SF without a safety driver.

This seems to be a strong counter to all those who were claiming that level 4 self-driving cars would be limited to flat, dry climates for the forseable future.
