No, compilation is six times faster in Linux in almost every single language I’ve compiled using the exact same hardware setup. I/O in windows should have been solved with SSDs.

I’ve not yet heard or read anything actually good about NTFS as compared to Mac and Linux file systems. You’re quite the outlier in my 25 years of experience within the industry of all three OSes to state NTFS is awesome.

Everyone has their favorites, I base mine on experimental data. Clearly Linux is king with compilation time. Since that affects my business work in a multitude of ways, it will continue to be my choice of dev environment. Windows is horrendous for this. I’ve tried numerous times. And with all the same hardware, there are only two main issues: file system and I/O driver/kernel. If SSDs didn’t solve I/O for windows then I’ll concede the I/O is garbage, but I’m yet to be convinced NTFS doesn’t factor in.

Simply put: Windows needs a ground-up overhaul and to stop catering to the old win32/NTOS/NTFS model. But I don’t really intend nor expect to convince anyone.
The GOP emails I see are very Trumpesque. I entered one “contest” once and I get over 11 emails a day from multiple GOP lists, the From: is everyone from Trump himself to radio personalities and a million variations of patriots and America first crap.

Grammar and Random Capitalization constantly (“the LIBERALS want to KILL You”), constant grifting and 5x match offers, fake embedded email responses (from: Donald trump, subject: missing donor. Body: “did X not donate yet?”) it’s absolutely ludicrous. I added a filter to not send to spam and archive directly to a specific label just to see how crazy it gets.

It should be considered fraud and bending some sort of finance laws to be sending out that kind of stuff.

On a funny related point, Bernie has almost the same email format (could use same provider, never checked) - his subject lines are insanely long but he’s always very personable and spot on to his meme about “once again I’m asking if you could donate” but it’s never about him. It’s always for something charitable, not about his own campaign. The emails are composed well and not THREATENING random words capitalized to scare you. It’s a night and day difference. It’s a shame the powers that be continue to keep him from advancing any further. He’s truly a man of the people.
You don't think it's possible for underlying fundamentals to be defied for 30 years, huh? Depends how you define fundamentals I guess. If your definition of fundamentals is "something that lasts 30 years or more" then you'd be tautologically correct.
This is only true in a vague and mostly irrelevant manner.

Yes - we gave people with poor credit mortgages to buy homes, and yes that did lead to the financial crisis, but not because they were poor and had bad credit.

It was because the loans were very large, and were backed by the supposed value of the home the person was buying. Then packaged in ways that hid the risk until the last minute - making those assets toxic when the housing bubble popped.

For small personal loans, there are not the same sort of systemic risks.
Not native.
If we're going to put it in computery terms, latency matters. People want decreased latency for themselves, not just to be in the company of more people sitting in the same traffic jam.
I don't remember this and probably should. Did this have a name? What browsers had this behavior?
I don't doubt that, but at full clock speed?
New laws against stuff like this in the US generally have exceptions for politicians, so it wouldn't help.
> apparently requiring force for that

Yeah, when autopilot is engaged it requires a good bit of force to override it without just turning it off first.
some years back I worked on a project with Korean Air on exactly that topic, cockpit communication and honorifics... A compounding factor was that pilots and crew often came from military backgrounds.

I learned about a number of air disasters and PanAm/KLM crash[1] in Tenerife 1977 really stuck with me. In the transcript a Dutch pilot says something like "We are now at take off" when he was indicating that the plane was in the process of taking off. (an idiomatic way of expression)

There was already much stress on the situation as an incident at another airport caused massive traffic rearrangement across Europe. Under stress we revert to native ways of expression. I tried to keep this incident in the back of my mind throughout the project, and since...

It depends *where* said dynamic content/interactivity is desired. If its desired at the page level, such as one page is desired to be dynamic...Then i keep everything else produced by my static site generator (in my case Pelican), and then set up a subdirectory and use php. (PHP because pretty much any web host, VPS provider etc. either already comes with PHP or its pretty easy to setup. But also because i faovr php development for the web.) Your comment about leveraging redirecting to certain paths via nginx/apache is something i've done in the past also...but unless you have a nice (automated, or at least easy) workflow...that could get old fast.

...However, if what you want is dynamic content/interactivity within the context of a page that is served static from your SSG process, then I (reluctantly) resort to javascript (Sorry, my reluctance is because i'm not much of a fan of javascript...and in fact have tried to omit as much of it as reasonable from my projects.)
thank you - I thought someone might make a comment like this, which is why I added the qualifier ("weather which led to the dust-bowl") to distinguish it from the human factors - but hey - it's cool - and I love that you used the word "aeolian" - thats a really cool word :)

my point was just that weird weather has been happening for a long time, and if you think about it, if the weather people can't predict whether it will rain or not 2 weeks from now, how can they possibly predict there will be more or less storms 5 years from now, 10 years, etc?
>But I always wonder why don't you have more smaller supermarkets closer to where people lives, instead of larger ones that require so long trips.

It's a reasonable question but I don't really know the answer.

In the US you tend to have sort of a bifurcation between (a few) supermarket chains (possibly somewhat downscaled in an urban environment) and convenience stores/bodegas/small food departments in places like urban Targets that tend to have minimal produce etc. Whereas in someplace like London, you're have Tesco's and smaller Sainsbury's which are somewhat in-between. Certainly there are exceptions with various local markets/specialists but that's the general pattern one sees.
This is a great point about trying to fix Demand side problems with a Supply solution. This is a recent paper talking about this todo with nutrition (Does access to healthy food actually make people healthier?): https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/134/4/1793/549...

Here is another example with calorie labels (Do calorie labels actually reduce calorie intake?): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4209007/
Induced demand is a term used in the context of congestion; any kind of congestion. If your site get faster/better you get more visitors, if car trip get faster/cheaper you get more car trips, if trains get cheaper/better you get more train trips, if your ISP upgrade to fiber you get more internet traffic.

Induced demand is the idea that if doing X is a miserable experience due to too many people wanting to do X, then improving the experience will induce more people to want to do X so upgrading the infrastructure need to account for all the people that currently are giving up but start X-ing once it get marginally better.

In a vicious cycle of congestion -> upgrades -> congestion again.

The implication is that often rather than scaling X you are better off finding a different path that suffer less congestion, as is the case with car travel.

Induced demand of non-scarce resource is just growth.
Likely as someone mentioned the code assumes the size of an int and a pointer are both 32 bits. And then is casting one to the other and of course barfs on modern system where that isn't the case.

Does it compile without warnings?

Did you try compiling with the -m32 flag to generate pure 32 bit code?

You can always try and run it under gdb
Neither the vaccine or infection will protect against reinfection indefinitely. That much I believe everyone is in agreement with. If you had natural infection or the vaccine a year ago or more, you will likely be reinfected with the most recent strain, typically with mild or no symptoms. My point about the study was that it specifically selecting people who were recently vaccinated vs. people whose natural exposure was the prior year. Of course the vaccinated people whose immune systems were recently exposed to the spike protein had lower reinfection rates.
It will be better! Giving every human the tools to make expressive works of art without having to train for years will be awesome for society!

I'm playing with some of the neanderthal-relatives of dall-e 2 and already have several that I kind of want to analog-paint copies of so I can hang em on my wall.

I don't even think artists are going to be meaningfully hurt from this - in fact, I think this is going to increase demand for art, because now the 'patron' can participate in the composition process more meaningfully.
That's a fair point - I've never really been in a position to measure the performance of such people. It's entirely possible that performance isn't actually all that relevant. It might just be that leaders prefer followers who "worship" them as leaders of the shared religion of work. I don't think this is all some sort of Machiavellian scheme either - I think a lot of it is unconscious on both ends of the deal.
No, that's not how that works. You can have an entirely software emulation or stub of a device, but that's not the same as more like a polyfill. Mesa will not emulate just the gap between your hardware and the latest feature set. You either get hardware with whatever it has, or only software emulated.

It's complete unacceptable for everyone if an os update suddenly means your GPU is entirely unused because it doesn't support some new extension or feature, so now you're stuck with only CPU emulation. That's not a viable solution.

That was a Malcolm Gladwell theory that has been debunked, particularly here: http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2013/07/culturalism-gladwell-...

In general I tend to question much of Gladwell's ideas these days seeing how many of them have been demonstrated to be wrong.
Again though, the person buying the share and the person selling the share, and even a third party (who offers loans) all come to an agreement that the best option at the moment is to sell the share. Loans are available to the would-be seller, if the sale of the share would actually screw them. Loans and fundraising rounds are therefore in competition -- and it's not like a company hasn't been built on loans before (Cisco was built off of credit card debt in the beginning). The seller makes a judgment about near-term vs long-term pros and cons, deciding where to allocate most of the value.
I absolutely agree the output is problematic without a horrible disclaimer. We've seen what happens when this technology is used to make financial and employment decisions, and in the justice system the results can be tragic.

This demo toy just pushes the bias right in your face and makes the invisible visible, which could be very useful for highlighting the problem for lawmakers.

> What's going on with those Boeing airplanes?

I don't think it's only Boeing airplanes where the autopilot will resist your attempts to override it with manual control inputs. If anything, I kinda expect that Airbus planes are even more opinionated about that type of behavior.
But you can turn this around and look at the large scale problem.

Let's say that 500K people can successfully make a mid-length car journey in London per day. Number pulled out of a hat.

You widen all of the roads where it's viable. Now 700K people can successfully make a mid-length car journey.

Sure, I'm still stuck in traffic, I can't go further, it's no more "convenient", but it literally improves the situation.

By the same token, it makes no difference to me whether 200K new homes are built in the capital - they'll probably all get filled up and I'll end up paying the same or close to. Hell I have a mortgage anyway.

But that's another 200K people that can live in the place they want to.

On this aircraft you must move the column with something like 20-25 pounds of force before the autopilot decides that you are overriding it.

Thank you Tip O'Neill.[1] It's nice to get the rest of the country to pay for your urban planning mistakes. The Big Dig was sort of awful to live through. But getting rid of the elevated highway that cut off the North End was a huge win for Boston.

Aw man, this is a real bummer. I thought I'd weaned myself off of Gladwell, but his fabulism is embedded in my memories from way back :( he's so good at it!
Same here. Game breaking bug on level 5. iOS Chrome. Swipe up a few times on a column and a circle disappears.
That sounds normal to the point that it's boring. I remember ~10 years ago I was introduced to this concept in a way I was able to understand via an episode of a video program called "Taboo". The particular episode was about gender differences in Romania (I hope I'm not misremembering), specifically about a bit of the culture that "allowed" a biological woman to live their life out the way a man traditionally would.

Someone from that culture could easily be looking at the English-speaking world and wondering why this is even being discussed: it's not even weird.

Someone from your culture seems to be looking at the English-speaking world and wondering why this is even being discussed: it's utter nonsense.

I do love this point about different languages, though. Many languages have gender as a default.
I agree it does read like the OP triggered the entire issue with payments using a chargeback originating from Chase, regardless of the support/platform issues with Affirm.

I don't believe charging back the loan provider had any outcome to getting their product/service.

Affirm was the wrong target.
It's the company leadership's fault for judging everybody on an easily gameable metric rather than spending any time managing.
Heh, clearly people think they know more than they do and accuse me of the same. No worries, I really couldn’t care less what others think of me. I know how my systems perform under multiple OS conditions and configurations, I’ve developed for every single OS natively, and I’ve yet to experience anything close to the multiple issues on windows with the subject matter I described on any other OS.

Keep fighting the fight, though! I mean it’s not like your favorite OS is going anywhere.
Notes on Teaching and Chairs
Why? It's actually extremely smart financially as stated in another thread where investing that money over 2 years can actually result in a slightly cheaper item.
The 777 pilot who analyzed and explained what was going on says otherwise. It will cause a master warning or something along those lines, but not cause AP to disengage. Which makes sense.
I bought two items on Affirm from the same merchant and they both were defective. I paid using a bank account, affirm will do nothing for me on the items.
It’s nice that Vancouver doesn’t have a highway cutting it in half like Seattle, but it also takes longer to drive anywhere.

From my experience, many of its neighborhoods/dining districts feel really cold/loud/unwalkable due to the high speed 4 lane roads everywhere. Traffic noise still seems like a huge issue, trying to parallel park when cars are buzzing by at 50 mph isn’t fun, and the unprotected left turns are pretty gnarly.
To be totally transparent: funding is a bit of an open question, although there's no risk of Mutagen disappearing in the short term.

Mutagen was actually part of YC's S19 batch, and it still has a significant amount of runway from that, but also some revenue from contracting work.

I really want to keep as much of Mutagen as FOSS as possible, ideally MIT licensed. I did just add a small portion of code under the SSPL, which I might experiment with dual licensing to SaaS embedders of Mutagen (since it's really only useful in cases where Mutagen is being embedded in other tooling), but even that I wanted to keep open source for other FOSS projects embedding Mutagen.

In the near term, I have some ideas about plugins and tooling that I want to build on top of Mutagen that will probably be closed source, but those will be separate entities from Mutagen itself and the aim will be to avoid compromising on any functionality that belongs in the core of Mutagen.
My only problem here is that some people seem happy about this - and they have the best intentions. My opinion is that you shouldn't forget about the people behind these kind of operations. They clearly seem elitist, and tech&gov history showed us that these initiatives are mainly rigged for purposes unknown. "For the people", right ?
Juan Brown has an excellent explanation of what is known so far, along with an analysis of the alarms heard in the background.

Meta: why is that post's text gray and hard to read? This is how HN punishes low-voted comments, right? Yet it seems counterproductive to do so for submissions.
It could get regular situation updates from base, and rely on GPS and compass to relate local position and orientation to interesting points. Just knowing at all times, without need to look at anything, the directions to mission objective and back to base would be useful.
"He was taken aback by what he saw: Many of this child abuse site’s users—and, by all appearances, its administrators—had done almost nothing to obscure their cryptocurrency trails. An entire network of criminal payments, all intended to be secret, was laid bare before him."

It is a weird story. On the one end, anyone using crypto by now should know, there is a trail following it ( there are means to obscure it, but a lot of ways to screw up too ). On the other, does that mean this investigation was a low hanging fruit?

Anecdotally, I never get anything that seems like political messaging from the left but I get tons of unsolicited right-wing messages, largely I believe because people sign up for them accidentally using my email address, because they are morons and people who are highly interested in Hunter Biden's laptop are self-selectively morons. My spam folder currently contains about 9 messages per day from state/local Republicans in Virginia. I have never been to that state.

Affirm is not like a credit card. They actually put your loan with Cross River Bank and are just the middle-man who collects commissions and collects fees from merchants for advertising on Affirm.com/app. I learned this the hard way... they care not if you get the item, or if it is good, or if it is a scam. Affirm is oblivious to it all. Just collecting fees.
Because shit is hitting the fan as far as the pilots are concerned and they're going to default to their native language. Informing the tower of WTF is going on is secondary.
Urbanists way overstate the importance of induced demand and make it seem like gospel truth that adding roads is pointless

I went down the rabbit hole of induced demand studies a few years back, the evidence for the idea that adding lanes or roads does not reduce congestion is pretty weak. There just aren't that many roads being built, theres a ton of confounding factors ( population growth ) , and even some of these studies like the A&M one in this wikipedia are mixed.
> the demand [..] It's already there, there's just no supply for it.

This is the case if those people do not take alternative form of travel, a single subway can take hundreds of cars off the street, even in car-centric suburban hellscape (I am showing my bias here) there are secondary longer routes.

In terms of congestion demand is very path-specific.
