Indy is very popular, especially among Delphi users (shipped with it): https://github.com/IndySockets/Indy.
This DALL-E 2 is absolutely the wildest thing I've seen by far. If we can get it to render 2D images, imagine 2d films, fully textured 3d mesh & environments is almost a certainty in the future.

The implications of this is tremendous. We could be looking at crowd-directed AI generated consumable content.

Imagine that you could watch infinite variations of the ending in Sopranos season 6. Imagine that you could generate a production quality 3D animatable human mesh that can interact with the AI generated 3D environment.

Pair this with ultrasound based non-invasive haptic feedback, taste, smell with some type of 3D holographic projector. The possibilities are literally endless.

Holy moly!!!! We are on the cusp of a completely new way to generate and consume content. Copyright laws will have to be rewritten. Once this pandora box is open it can't be closed.
Are there any real websites using IPFS at the moment? Anything I find is usually a tech demo that takes a minute to load.

IPFS could be what hypertext was for the web, meaning that anyone can self-host their own stuff, but so far it’s been used exclusively for storing NFTs.
Sure but, to my understanding, the human perception of satiety (“being full”) is far more sensitive to animal fats than refined sugar.
I used to pay a company a £100, I think, and they came in a lorry and they ground the disks in a machine. I enjoyed the fact there was a venerable stick to ram into the machine when the mechanism got blocked. From a security point of view you observed the destruction and got a certificate as a paper trail. I used to keep a sample of a ground disk on my desk. The company also got the kick back of melting the disk down to recover the minerals.
I don't think that was actually correct, but Borland did release C++Builder in the 90s that looked and felt just like Delphi, other than the language beneath.
If your input ends with a 0 and you don't append the 1, you have no idea if that 0 is part of the padding or input
I've definitely seen this happen in a slightly different form on hacker news. For example, sometimes someone will reply to a dissenting post simply with a link to the original posters profile as if their history and karma somehow justifies not arguing with them.

I'm genuinely not sure what value the karma system adds
And also mentions "federal reserve" half way through the page. But still, a really poor and implicit way of saying US only.

I guess people over there are stuck in their own bubble and might think US is the only country in existence.
I think it's worth pointing out that in the years since this article was written (2006) quite a few new features have been added to Tcl. A few of the more significant include coroutines, robust object-oriented system, tailcalls, apply (lambdas), namespace ensembles, et.al.

Of course some of these features were already present in other languages. However, steady improvements to Tcl have pushed the language well beyond how it was described in the article. Definitely not a "toy" but overall as capable as the other scripting tools out there.
If they were truly concerned with "building new privacy-preserving technologies" they would provide these choices to everyone, not just those with a specific not-guaranteed-to-even-be-correct geographical determination.

I'd probably still put in some uBlock rules to bypass it because it'd be an annoyance anyway, but it's the principle!

Put all the PR sugar coating on it you want...it's still just them minimizing the impact to their shady business model while covering their ass from the legal side.
I always take a big nail and hit that through the unit, beyond repair after that.
Oh wow. I didn’t know that and I’ve had to come up with some lame excuses in the past.

So even the tech can’t see that it’ll ultimately be disposed of?
That's pretty much what every older language did.

I assume its because the original unicode only supported 2 byte characters, and even after astral characters became a thing it took a while for them to be used for non-cjk things.
This comment made me think of a local online social network that was used predominantly in Umeå, Sweden. I can't speak for what happened in DMs but all the public facing content was very civil. And hardly any noise whatsoever.

But I don't think local online communities will ever managed to get established anew again.
Great answer! I actually didn't know the whole proverb.

Yes. (
Pls, tell us the answer.
About 10 years ago I worked for a vendor of PCIe cards that were mainly sold to OEMs as a component of systems with 6- or 7-figure price tags. One of our customers discovered a critical bug that required reprogramming an FPGA on the card to fix. There were hundreds of cards in inventory at the customer's contract manufacturer's locations in Singapore, Scotland, and Texas. They stopped all three production lines and demanded we send someone to the locations to reprogram all of the cards.

So I was on a redeye that night from California to Texas with a Shuttle Cube w/PCIe slot and an ESD wrist strap under my arm. After reprogramming all of the cards in Texas it was back to the airport to catch another overnight flight to Scotland. Then after doing those cards it was on to Singapore, but I did get to stay one night in a hotel in Scotland since the soonest flight was the next morning. After doing the Singapore cards it was one night in Singapore and then back to California. Around the world in 5 days.
Terrorists these days are willing to die with the plane so it’s not such a big deal anymore I guess.
I think at least if it's not the currently active tab it will still go to sleep, so it's not like a random Autoplay video in a background tab will ruin your day. At least that's what it seems like with Firefox on Linux.
His Apollo Guidance Computer restoration videos are equally amazing. They actually got the AGC to run. Incredible.
It sounds like there’s not much people can do and they are resigned to the situation to me.
One more note. This look how much land we control is also nonsense. Russian forces advanced easily until they encountered resistance, after what their advancement stalled.

They tried multiple times to reach Odessa but failed and now their Black sea flagship is at the bottom of Black sea.

Something must have gone wrong with the advancement from Crimea. I have heard that there might have been betrayal on Ukrainian side and some of the bridges were not demolished to slow down Russian advancement from Crimea.

This has been bad for Mariupol because it was not possible to encircle it from both directions.

The strip between Crimea and Dnepr is very difficult to hold because when Ukraine can take Melitopol then Russian forces in Kherson risk encirclement.
The best bit in the article is the Berkshire Hathaway website, a case of "the emperor wears no clothes and he knows it".
I recommend you read the article - unless Gen Z is abandoning streaming, the numbers are pretty shocking. While "new" is considered less than 18 months old, the shift is enormous.
* The first comment in this thread applauds the courage to turn down a $3bn acquisition, and suggests that the eventual outcome has vindicated that decision.

* The second comment suggests that this vindication is debatable based on Instagram’s valuation being higher than Snapchat’s

* I agree with the first comment and disagree with the second comment, so the point I am trying to make is that it the decision to turn down the acquisition was indeed vindicated.
Billionaires per million people is about 1.8 in the USA and 1.5 in Germany. The opportunity is extremely similar, compared with say China that has plenty of billionaires but its 0.2 per million people. The reality is very simple, all of Europe looks extremely socialist in comparison to the USA. People don't need millions throughout their lifetime to cover medical bills. Student debt is either non existent or orders of magnitude lower etc. Europeans also work less per week, so you should adjust incomes to reflect prorated time worked.
Fair, makes sense, I understand your thinking now.

My response is that one person's dogmatism is another person's recognition of genocide. But I do understand that when you perceive that your life is at stake, the fate of rest of the world may not matter so much to you anymore.
Precisely

Crikey, 250W motor... they are handy and certainly better than everyone driving a car everywhere, but somehow the combination of power and low barrier to entry invites a particular type of road (and pavement) assholery I could really do without. At least in my locale.
Sure, no single thing is 100% effective, but that was never the claim for a mask, any mask. But wearing masks, distancing, washing hands, vaccinations, etc, all together, is a lot better than doing nothing.
My favourite thing about Tcl is (was? This was 25 years ago) that adding commands just requires a couple of Tcl things, then an argc/argv, so it was relatively simple to turn an existing C program into a Tcl command:

int my_command (ClientData clientData, Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, const char *argv[]) { ... }

However, that might have been the only thing I liked about Tcl. For some binary data import tasks I ended up writing a Perl program that translated it into Tcl.
I don't think it's the worst thing to encourage people too be thoughtful about their word choice. Is it really "crazy", or are you selling an emotional reaction by personifying your topic as a mentally deranged person? I actually think steering clear of this language is helpful in defusing the outrage culture that is so harmful to our online discourse.
According to this logic, life is meaningless
that was short sighted when the forum was started. it's a forum about tech and entrepreneurship, so politics are the main concern. it's as if bloomberg had a policy of talking about finance only and not politics.
First off, brownwashing isn't a thing -I dismiss people who believe in zombies too. I don't have a lot of time or sympathy for people who are upset that fictional characters are no longer portrayed as being of the dominant race.

I mean, there are criticisms to be made about tampering with IP for the sake of sales (https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/features/marvel-i... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_LGBT_issues) but a lot of those decisions often boil down to simple economics (China is a larger audience and the studios cater to that market) but when it starts veering into "$X will not replace us" territory I can't take the complaints seriously -I'm sorry.

I have a hard time believing that the people who do object to the progressive content are the reason for this. They may be a contributing factor but I'm honestly skeptical that the numbers who drop it for that specific reason are signifigant.

Honestly what I have seen here and on reddit etc are more neutral complaints -about service, about series getting canceled, etc.

Somewhat related to the original topic and this flight tangent, apparently fresh flowers are delivered by plane due to the combination of lightness and requirements for fast delivery. They almost act like an anti-ballast, filling up space that is otherwise unused but without adding much weight.
Don't think your comment makes a lot of sense in the context of the article. Author explicitly wants to create/use/drop some WASM instances in the JavaScript world without leaking memory. Piggybacking on the existing JS GC is perfectly reasonable approach here.

So 99.99% of times on HN people seems to think Apple is an AOM founding member and hence they will definitely support AVIF and AV1 ( not true ).

I'm sorta surprised there is nobody running liquid nitrogen cooled overclocked chips 'in production' and rentable.

For some usecases, such as running a single threaded application you just can't optimize any more, it would be worth the added cost and complexity to get a chunk more single threaded performance.

There’s also the usual Peter Hitchens subtext that things were better in the old days before women and ethnic minorities and the working class ruined everything, before the communists took over (a thing Hitchens actually appears to believe happened).
If you dislike snaps I'd suggest having a look at Nix. Feel free to ask if you're looking for any specific feature snaps (or debs) aren't providing.
Just because somewhere a mechanism exists for a vaccine to render a pathogen more dangerous doesn't means that there is any reason to believe that mechanism is meaningfully a factor in this case. The fact that you yourself lack the know how to assess why this is or isn't a risk doesn't mean that everyone is rolling the dice it just means that you are uneducated on the matter.

You give yourself away by your obsession with Fauci whom you always refer to as if he was a mononym like an idiot celebrity. Rarely Dr. Fauci or yet Anthony Fauci. Just fauci. You know a few interesting highly specific terms of art like Original Antigenic Sin which is in stark contrast to your otherwise very shallow understanding of the topic. This is because you collect interesting nonsense like a bird picking up shiny things.

This site doesn't need people who have never created an account with Hacker News before to create one now to spread the same bullshit you folks spread on Facebook. I see folks like yourself all over hacker news in recent years and quite frankly like covid you are a pathogen. Its absolutely impossible to fix the dialogue with you folks because to you these are vital truths that are being ignored. You are for what its worth likely very much in good faith its just that you yourself have been infected. Fix your inputs and maybe you will fix your outputs.

Good Luck.
> Can't be the excess food intake. Like too much sweets and meat. No. Fat people are not eating enough fat. It's so simple.

There can be second order effects. For example, it's not that eating a bunch of animal fat will magically get or keep you thin. Instead, it's likely that eating fat you'll not eat as much of it, and even better: eat little to no sweets or other "junk".

I'm not convinced that eating too much meat gets people fat. By that, I mean the meat itself. What I've noticed when eating out, is that meat is often drenched in some kind of syrupy sauce. And I notice that whenever I eat such a meal, I'm left hungrier, or get hungry quicker afterwards, compared to if I eat the same quantity of meat but with just a few spices. Most of the times, I'll find there's too much meat, and not even finish it. But with the sauce? I'll only stop when I'm physically bursting.

Another poster touches on this, talking about satiety. It's very clear to me that some foods just give me the impression of being hungry and wanting to keep on eating them. And it requires a great deal of will power to not indulge. Bonus points for these foods being "bite-sized", when you figure "just one won't make a difference". Only issue is, "you can't eat only one", as the ad says.
Yet they didn't do anything remotely similar for 40 years.
One nit: you can actually transition directly to permanent residency from TN status. The only challenge is that after you file, you can't leave the US! That's why, as you explained, generally the play is to wait to transition to an H1B before starting the process.

For the OP: entering the US with TN status is relatively trivial. FANG companies recognise this, and will interview you more or less as if you had work authorisation in the US. Totally doable also for smaller employers, and is honestly easy enough for you to do on your own if needed.

Either your employer will provide you with documents to show CBP at the border when you first enter and they'll adjudicate your application on the spot, or your employer will apply for the TN a priori which takes only a few weeks - this allows you to enter in a sort of pre-authorised way.

One note on permanent residency: there are limits for employment-based green cards on the basis of your country of birth (not your country of citizenship). This makes things difficult if you were born in India or China.
> That's pretty much what every older language did.

The fixed size, but I’m referring to the compile-time width switch.

I may be wrong but I was under the impression most older langages simply remained on their original character width (or left the issue ill defined and/or added an ancillary type like C).
A bit of self indulgent reflection, mostly. I'm unsure there _was_ a point.
Absolutely. I often wonder if I’m just part of a tiny minority who still uses the back button, given how many large sites disregard it at best and break it at worst.
Ironically Tcl is very Lisp-like in certain respects, though also quite different. Rabbitholes notwithstanding Tcl can be enormously useful and productive. In particular I think the built-in Tcl object-oriented features are a real asset and not nearly the same sort of rabbithole as you encountered in the past.

Myocarditis in young people post vaccination rather than being (not all lethal) is virtually never lethal.
Not having hierarchical schematics is a deal breaker for me. It saves so much time in SCH capture, and especially in layout where you can duplicate layouts of identical circuit blocks.

I do find some of the routing actions in PCBnew to be a bit buggy in v6. Weird selections, and a lot of adding short trace segments where none seem to be necessary.

I also don't like having to give up the PCB and SCH diff tools that emerged around the v5 file format ecosystem. Those make working collaboratively in Kicad a breeze.

If I could wave a wand and change one thing about kicad, it would be support for parts databases. Having database managed component libraries with sourcing information stored in the db makes a ton of stuff about designing electronics easier.

I run a number of forums, the largest yielding 250k monthly visitors. It's not huge... But it's 15 years old, very civil, and more interestingly has near zero moderation.

The ones I operate I do so on a simple basis... This forum is default dead, if you as users run it into the ground I'll turn it off as I make no money from it do not have any incentive to tolerate your bs. Make of this space whatever you want, but if you want it to exist then that's something that you all need to make happen by figuring out how to be adults.

It works.

Yes, C++ Builder uses the same IDE and makes use of a lot of the same libraries, but it's still C++ and Delphi is still Object Pascal:

> What is the fire risk like?

The answer is complicated.

My property has burned over twice since I've been here, and two years ago a few hundred of my neighbors lost homes in the LNU fire. However, I'll still say that for rural California, it's actually not bad.

It's grasses and oaks here ("light flashy fuels") which burn with low intensity. If you prepare diligently, your home will most likely be fine. We don't get crazy conifer-fueled earth-sterilizing crown fires like the Sierras. By end of spring you can barely tell there was a fire.

I joined the fire service after the LNU fires (unincorporated Solano is all volunteer). So while fire is something that's never far from my mind, it's not something I really worry about.

Sadly, Starlink isn't servicing this area yet, no DSL or cable either. I have to bounce "wireless broadband" off a couple hillsides. It's dreadfully slow, but way better than Hughesnet. Starlink will be a gamechanger for sure.
My understanding is that unless you actually keep a jet on standby (which has its own costs), it is surprisingly difficult to beat commercial airliners on speed if the clock starts ticking now. You can always board the next flight, but with private jets it takes time to a) find a free jet and b) prepare for the flight. Of course, the more non-standard journey you have, the more edge the private jet gets.

> They're very different weapons; an NLAW is unlikely to incapacitate a tank at any range

SAAB claims that the NLAW "(...) can destroy a heavily protected modern battle tank with one shot, and the system is effective at ranges between 20 and 800 metres.)

https://www.saab.com/newsroom/stories/2018/june/5-facts-abou...

Do you have any source that substantiates your personal assertion?

> The NLAW can be very useful against structures or softer targets like APCs and IFVs.

Wikipedia's article on Russia's battalion tactical group mentions that each is comprised of 10 tanks and 40 IFVs.

Even if we take your personal assertion at face value, and given that disabling a IFV also takes infantry out of the picture, it seems the NLAW showcases an impressive bang for the buck.
Try not to think about that too much. We’re all going to die, our planet will be consumed by our dying star and our galaxy will end up forever alone due to expansion of space. Life is an accident of chemistry, an inevitable outcome of an infinite universe.
