I'd say this is the answer.

I remember a situation where we had a near miss with data loss (replica failed and master had a bad disk). We didn't want to put the production database under extra load by taking a live backup while it was handling all production traffic, so we restored a backup. But it was "bad". Tried the one before it, and the one before that. Apparently they were busted for over a month due to a config change. We restored a month-old backup and started applying binlogs (which thankfully we had been backing up). But that meant replaying a month of transactions into the restored database. I can't remember the details but I think we ended up replacing the bad disk, resilvering the array and live-cloning the primary before the binlogs got fully applied to the one we restored from the old backup.

Poland made a huge step back when it comes to trains after 1990 - there is a good book by Karol Trammer "Ostre cięcie" about disastrous cuts.

On the other hand - Pendolino is a real step forward, and at least Cracow is trying to improve general quality and invest in intra-city trains, which maybe not the fastest, but still much better than buses or trams.

Oh, I just meant caching within the lifetime of a single git command's execution.

As it stands, when you run "git status", the git executable goes through each directory in your working copy, lists all of its directory entries, and then immediately afterward calls open() to see if a .gitignore file exists in that directory -- even if there wasn't one in the list it just read.

That's what I meant by saying that in principle, there's no reason git couldn't just cache the file's presence/absence on its own, just for those few microseconds (maybe "cache" was a poor choice of words). In practice, I can understand that the implementation complexity might not be worth it.
It will have to be paid for, as is everything, but it will cost much less both in aggregate and at a personal level. Source: any other country.
> Differences in world view are less significant when the bureaucrats and executives with power over your life live nearby instead of in another city and state.

How do you reconcile this with jim crow-era terrorism, for example? The movements were local and very loosely organized on even a regional level, but the bureaucrats wielded incredible power over individuals in their jurisdiction. There were definitely other factors but top-down power was important in the weakening of those structures.

I'm not necessarily for centralization, nor do I think our current system is good or has us on a healthy path by any means. I'm just not convinced stakes were lower in the early 20th century.
Sturdy screening to give claws a grip would probably serve as the equivalent of human handholds just generally. I don't know how comfortable or feasible walking on it would be, but I bet a cat could learn pretty quick to catch on to it and then push off along a desired vector, and they're already better at gyroscopic pointing than we are.
Does not caching this really help, though?

What happens when the .gitignore above you changes while you are in the midst of scanning a subdirectory? Is that not the same problem?

The problem is that git operations aren't transactional with respect to the filesystem, no? Sure, the window of uncertainty changes, but it's never zero.

Try out the micro code editor, it has more generic/windows-like key conventions (i.e. Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V copy and paste), full mouse support, etc: https://micro-editor.github.io/

It doesn't support everything VS code can do (notably it doesn't have LSP support), but it could be more accessible to you than vim or emacs.

I have my Win10 taskbar on the top of the screen and whenever I go full-screen Firefox moves it's window down so low that it cuts off the bottom ~15% of the window and I have to drag the top back up to the taskbar to force a resize in the bounds of the screen. Sometimes it happens to other windows (never Explorer) but Firefox is consistent.

Using recursion didn't even occur to me (and in some places, recursion is verboten, along with memory allocation). As for DJB's comment, while I can agree in general, it seems that the DEFLATE algorithm was documented significantly after DNS (RFC-1950 and RFC-1035).

I think that should look like this: HMO style access for all - automatically. Rebate if you decide to up it with PPO style insurance (or beyond). So you get 200 per month off taxes to pay towards your own insurance.

Also, get it out of the employers hands - as in make it illegal to offer any benefits and let the employee get paid 100% of their salary instead. Also make it so that employers can't legally collect taxes without consent.

Ask HN: What Makes a Good Changelog?
When you have to update your project's dependencies, you (presumably) look at the changelogs for each package to see if you can safely update. This experience varies wildly based on how well changes are tracked and documented (if at all). I'm looking to suss out what separates a great changelog from a mediocre one.

- What bits of a changelog are most helpful / important?
- What's not helpful, but usually included?
- How should the document balance skimmability / comprehensiveness / readability?
- What projects have the most helpful changelogs?

Thank you!

That's terrifying, but compelling. To zoom in on one feature:

Back when I was a barely supervised teenage boy we tried that strategy of pulling a 20+ foot structure upright with a truck, and managed to limit injuries one participant getting a bad rope burn. It seemed sketchy even to us, I can't guess at the thought process that lead to a bunch of grown literal rocket scientists trying it.

To be honest I'm jealous that they're still at it. You think they're hiring?
I also set up enterprise WiFi at work, but at home I just want WiFi that works with as little involvement on my end as possible. Traffic logs would be wasted on me because I'd never look at them.
Yep. I have no idea what it is, but it's clear there is a broader issue here than any reductive analysis will acknowledge. Same thing with NAFTA. It wasn't a single trade deal. The exact same changes happened with my dad's employer, but he was a plumber for Los Angeles County. They weren't and can't be offshored and they aren't owned by corporate raiders or soulless shareholders, yet exactly what happened to rust belt manufacturing companies happened to government-employed blue collar laborers in California.
I think there's two factors playing into this:

first, Germany has had a high level of sefvice quality with trains for the last 15 years, compared to much of the world, there's little to improve

and second, DB had become a HUGE holding company of many kinds of business endeavours and rail service is not in the states hand anymore, while the company "optimizes" for profit which makes travel aside of high traffic routes become worse and worse and coverage deteriorates.
And where's the money going to come from for that? We are in this mess because we are printing money out of thin air, artificially increasing the money supply without the output to match. What you propose continues to amplify the root cause.

Also, 'millions of cores' is a ludicrously shitty, zero-clue answer. It's like asking how Eminem makes music, and saying 'millions of pills'. Like, yes, that's an input, but you're missing the entire method of creation, of converting the crude inputs into the outputs.

For my money - and, for what little it's worth, I work in this field – I think most of the impressive feats of data science attributed to 'machine learning' are really just a function of now having hardware capacity so insanely great that we're able to 'make the map the size of the territory', so to speak. These models are essentially overfitting machines, but that's OK when (a) it's an interpolation problem and (b) your model can just memorise the entire input space (and deal with any inaccuracies by regularisation, oversampling, tweaking parameters till you get the right answers on the validation set, then talking about how 'double descent' is a miracle of mathematics, etc).

Don't get me wrong, neural nets are obviously not rubbish. They are a very good method for non-convex, non-differentiable optimisation problems, especially interpolation. (And I'm grateful for the hype cycle that's let me buy up cheap TPUs from Google and hack on their instruction set to code up linear algebraic ops, but for way more efficient optimisation methods, and also in Rust, lol.) It's just a far more nuanced story than "this method we discovered and hyped up for a decade in the 80s suddenly became the key to AGI".

We can argue about them being intuitive or not, but at least they exist.
I find it odd that the train ticket didn't get you to your final destination. If the train doesn't travel on some part of the route, the railway company usually gets you on a bus for that part and you don't have to do anything. Just get off the train and hop in the bus.

Comments like this give the impression that there’s an assumption that business owners are all just swimming in money and not one or two bad months away from bankruptcy. Most businesses do not survive more than 5 years for a reason.
Correct. The math is actually about 500 electron launches.

That is to replace the cost of launching one SLS. If you include development costs cancelling out SLS now would easily save $4B per launch + 10B+ of dev costs.

I think the proposal would be to open up funding for both additional launches AND additional science missions. For the let's say $6B/year or so, you could do a huge amount.

Why Web3 won't make the world more equal

In the UK, Network Rail spends about £150k per track kilometer per year on maintenance and renewal. Track needs constant maintenance through ballast redistribution and compaction to maintain track geometry; the rail itself needs to be ground regularly to maintain its shape; points systems need to be maintained, as well as signaling systems, earthworks and embankments, even vegetation.

Maintenance costs for major roads in the UK (trunk motorways and A roads) is something about half that.
Canada has massive division. It's just masked.
The numbers seem large when they're in absolutes, but per capita it's moved from ~0.91 trips per person per year to ~1.19 trips per person per year.

I mean, if the goal is to make the smallest number, why stop at "per person per year"? If you instead reflected the number as "per person per second" then you would see that the improvement is barely measurable.

Burning wood releases more ghg per unit of energy than coal. We're not talking about biomass pellets in efficient furnaces, but actual wood in a stove. The fact that a tree can grow back in 20 years and alter the equation doesn't help us at all right now. Leaving the trees standing and instead burning coal will result in a decrease of emissions.
So, using () as a marker for the length of a label, and (^name) for a label pointer, how do you handle

The pointer goes backwards, but it doesn't go back to the start of a label sequence. So do you track the start of each label? Or just the start of each domain name?

There's no gauge change. Spain high-speed tracks already use the international one (older tracks still use Iberian gauge). There are already high-speed trains that go to France without stopping at the border.
Entitlement to the extreme. Nobody owes anybody anything by marking something as open source.

Take some responsibility.
People want to use trains and we want people to use trains -- which means whatever is left over is an irrelevant detail. We should subsidize it more and invest more.

I lived in the south of France for a while and it always struck me that instead of one huge, heavy engine pulling ten cars, arriving once an hour, along that stretch (from Cannes to Menton), it would be better served to have light, individual cars that ran every five minutes. (More like a large tram.)

We can do so much better. And it will happen the minute we get the greed of the oil/auto/airline industries from getting in our way.
The typical scenario is that passengers can just take another train. Depending on the ticket, the railway is responsible for refunding cost for alternative transportation (EU law), but there can be frustrating edge cases where people are left stranded, because there is no alternative, but a lot of bureaucracy. The railway may be responsible for refunding accommodation then, but I think this would not necessarily be the case for monthly tickets, student tickets and so on, when there is no explicit booking for a canceled train like with a regular ticket.
Sounds like you have a great method of shooting down ideas based on something besides their own merits.
Just wow!!! Highly recommended and very informative.
Go Generics for Field Level Database Encryption – Kablamo Engineering Blog
It's hard to say. Trains have been chronically underfunded in the US for so long that I don't think the US even knows what decent train infrastructure is like. Amtrak hasn't had a guaranteed budget until the recent infrastructure bill passed and was originally designed to just be a publicly-funded holding company to sell off its rolling stock and lines.
At least in the US, local road networks in the suburbs and rural areas bleed money terribly, and as fuel taxes have not kept pace with inflation even the inner city streets and crowded highways can barely break even.
I mean, yes, your point is well taken, but I stand by my point nonetheless.
Literal Hands on Coding Method(s)?
Anyone tried modifying the AST-tree of a compiler for a given program(s) in VR space?

Is this a viable method for remote office code reviews?

Example working concept [1] would be comparing "old" K&R C / C89 vs. port to "modern" C.

aka Virtual chalk board in VR 2 or 3D to support video conference.

[1] "Old C code -- how to upgrade it?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30957273#30962540

Concept example:
Given "old" c code line of : (--(char)hash_ptr.parm.v.p) = fpop(sst);

A) "traditional method": run it through the compiler/debugger, "compile/debug/pray resolve all issues)

B) Advanced method:

Assuming the license terms on the working binary allows decompilation;

1) Use a disassembler to psudo C on the original binary and same hardware.

2) Diff the resulting pseudo source code to see where things get interpreted differently.

3) Then use combination of "tree differ" ([2]) and
compiler explorer to review the "differences", ([3])

C) Next setup up approach:

1) open source decompile to pseudo-C
software: ghidra [4]; retdec [5]
compiler ware: gcc -fdump-translation-unit or clang -ast-dump

2) Then use something graphbiz's dotty in conjunction with [6] nicst's tree diff util.

D) Current, everything but the kitchen sink approach:

Almost verything but the VR aspect,

Non-free software for non-vr space ast idea: http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html

It is still a headache to have to register for a plan after losing your job and possibly transfer/link your information to a new account. COBRA is better than nothing, but it is often more expensive than makes sense.

Furthermore you cannot use the exchanges if your employer offers plans IIRC. So your employer can control which plans you have access to.

The subsidies should just be given directly to the person who needs healthcare. There is no need to involve a third party. It just complicates the situation for no gain.
It does seem poorly defined. If it were the land mass, I would expect that Europe extended all the way to the other end of Russia.
New York has reasonably high (and realistic) parking pricing. Where I live it's outrageously high (deliberately so on political grounds—not because of restricted space (there's much more space available where I live).

Introducing political idealism to deliberately hurt people just because one can is counterproductive and in the long term will do more damage than good (for starters, it's extremely alienating and likely to turn people off even a quite noble cause).

Trains kill lots of people and the noise is excruciating. They also impede other traffic when at grade, and require massively expensive carbon guzzling infrastructure when not at grade. The stations are often designed or located more optimally for getting freight to and from, rather than people.

The bathrooms are less claustrophobic though.
