In other words. The brain has a bug on the chromatic aberration part of the image processing pipeline.

Who wear glasses, either in the face or in a camera, may have noticed, a red or blue contour on some occasions. This also happens with our eyes, but it seems the brain use this to infer depth.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Type hints are usefull especially in large codebases. I find myself using them with minimal effort and they can catch bugs that otherwise wouldn't be catched.
As another side note, the richest person I know regularly maxes out his credit card so he can pay it all down and rake in the score bump. Every couple times he does this, they issue him an upgraded card with less limits: the cycle continues.

Not a bad way to buy stuff if you have the means to pay it off.
Daredevil, at least, wasn't their fault. Disney bought the IP and refused to license it. You can see it on Disney+.

That still leaves them on the hook for lots and lots of other shows that they canceled. (My particular beef: I Am Not Okay With This, though the pandemic deserves a lot of blame for that.)
There's also bear-type for runtime type checking: https://github.com/beartype/beartype.
You probably already are aware of it but there's an effort to create an open source successor to Rebol. See the Red Programming Language site [0].

I've played around with Red and it's pretty interesting. Though rather different from Tcl. Red compiles to native code out of the box which is an advantage. Currently Red is limited to 32-bit output. When they get 64-bit working along with self-hosting compiler I think the language could become a major success.

Government issued bonds are the antithesis of high-risk, high-reward. And I don't see any reason why you wouldn't just use whatever salaries make sense. Google et al use RSUs for vesting purposes, but aside from tradition (and tax benefits) they could just issue a cash amount.

In a smaller company, the stock may appreciate due to your actions, but there's absolutely no reason to think most employees would do anything that moves Google's stock price. And even less to think anyone would do anything that would impact US government tax receipts.

Working for Google and getting RSUs isn't really higher-risk, higher reward compared to a salary.
I would guess it has not been given much thought, as the initial comment suggests, is most developers and users don't care at all. The most used web sites look terrible but people are using them for function, like searching, shopping and paying their bills.
> Which means they'll fail to pull their money out at the peak of the bubble, undoing their impressive returns to date.

Do you have any concrete evidence to support the claim, that they (a16z) have failed to pulled out and are in a significant loss on their crypto investments?

Otherwise this is yet another baseless and unfounded assumption which can be simply dismissed entirely.
> Rest of the argument seems to boil down to people not actually following the mandate consistently, which is not actually any argument against the effectiveness of mask wearing per se.

I disagree. Any strategy that fails to account for actual human nature, is flawed. You can't just say, "it'd work if we were different than the way we actually are".
It's not very tradable on the open market, so you really are buying a revenue stream.

However, pensions and endowments are probably quite interested.
If all distros were Gentoo or Arch, you'd be correct, but Linux Mint exists, and my very non-technical grandmother has no issues using Mint for her day-to-day. Linux is no longer gatekept by the command line.

What they work on is reflective of their real priorities in office. It's never you and me, its them and their friends. All we are there to do is vote the party line and allow the profitable status quo to continue unquestioned.

I have sold and bought the OP-1 twice now. At one point, I tried to replace my DAW and synths workflow with the single OP-1 unit. It didn't work. Three years later, I missed the OP-1 sounds and bought it on a whim, but I realized again how limited the sound palette is and its ability to work alongside non-OP-1 instruments. Both times, its aesthetic appeal and aspirational dream won over the rational me. It is a cool device. I will stick to Ableton Live, a few synths, and a midi controller.

The TX-6 is appealing to the gadget nerd in me...
I can't wait for another series of fruitful discussions HN has on front-page crypto articles! It's great how people discuss the article itself and not pre-conceived prejudices for/against this topic in general.

They are not just "allies." The Taiwanese gov't had heavy handed intervention from its inception to what it is today. IMO, this has little to do with "culture" and more to do with the gov't protecting jobs and keeping their know-how and infrastructure in Taiwan.
A trick for finding information that comes from humans, at least?

I find it's good for e.g. opinions on products, experiences with treatments, etc. that come from actual humans.
Most synth heads I know don't like teenage engineering and see them as overpriced underengineered nerd tech.

I own an op-z and used to own some pocket operators. They will be the last teenage engineering products I own. Everything they release seems more ridiculous all the time. Just the ob-4 is enough for me to say "these are not products for synth people but tech nerds who want synths"
Sadly disappointed this has nothing to do with :CueCat
> 1. It’s indie.

Shamelessly, this is what I'm excited about most. There's some big little names attached to the project, and I'm excited how the limitations will stretch their creativity.
I feel like this is where some kind of antitrust action is needed.

On the one hand, it's completely understandable that e.g. a bank wants to rely on a mechanism like SafetyNet to prevent fraud, but on the other hand it's taking away a lot of freedoms where alternatives could be implemented (e.g. let the user sign a waiver for specific risks which are usually covered by SafetyNet).

There needs to be an alternative way to provide the same guarantees and functionalities to developers and end users, but without the required reliance upon a monopolistic entity.
Dr. Hipp of SQLite fame likes Tcl. The ginormous test suite is in Tcl.
No, all runtime services are gone. You don't /strictly/ need them in order to boot - most Linux distributions will install a loader in the fallback path and the firmware will run it even if there are no boot entries.
Could you share more on the legal entities that underlie Column? In particular, what’s actually chartered at OCC and a member of FDIC? I can’t find you, but maybe you just have a different name (for now?)
Also disease and blights have decimated certain trees like Elm and Chestnut.
The idea the OP put forward is a database that allows "blind" searches. So I could, for example, search for articles between dates X and Y without revealing X or Y or the content or actual date of any article. The results of the search would be encrypted.

There is disagreement in the cryptography community about the extent to which this is actually possible. I've seen a few proofs that the obvious "magic" version of this where you can directly but blindly search is impossible because you could use search criteria to reconstruct the content, but that only rules out the most obvious implementation strategies. There's a lot of research going on with this kind of thing in the cryptographic community that involves leveraging zero knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption, and so on. Nothing practical enough to make anything like a blind SQL database though.

In any case I was arguing against the claim that this would preclude good UI/UX design if it were in fact possible.
Ah, your second question is a good one, and probably gets to the root of the disagreements.

I was specifically referring to the context of things like block devices. There is no single message (in a sane way, anyway) for the device. Each low level block is the message, in the sense you are referring to. That's when inputsize != outputsize is a problem, as that 'message' is also fixed size.

When I am referring to authenticating in a way that doesn't make individual blocks bigger, I'm referring to a HMAC signature in filesystem metadata or similar in this type of scenario. Out of band information. Practically speaking, even a basic CRC of metadata and file contents would make most attacks impractical.

Which you could do with AES-GCM of course, by storing the tag separately. I currently know of no implementations that do so however, but I'm sure there are ones out there. It would require storing the tag per block, which doesn't sound fun or performant.

To answer your second question in that context - everything from SSL to PGP/GPG, S/MIME, etc.
The best part of this joke is how the punchline slowly becomes a parent.
It's still extremely low in terms of the odds. Even right in the middle of whatever hood you fear most your odds of anything happening to you are slim to none.
a) Twitter is not a terrible investment. Their fundamentals are strong i.e. growing revenue/profit and any competition has failed to materialise. And we have yet to see the financial impact of their premium offerings e.g. Twitter Blue.

b) We can be pessimistic about Musk's intention because of his past behaviour. At Tesla/SpaceX he has routinely suppressed any free speech and unionism. With Jack Sweeney he tried to buy his silence and he has on a number of occasions filed defamation lawsuits over things people have said. He is not altruistic but instead uses his power to shift the world to his benefit.
Endocrine disruption (potential) of plastics in constant contact with skin is something I sometimes worry about, more for my kids than myself, but I'd like to ask anybody more knowledgeable if it really makes a difference: aren't cotton and polyester both dyed with synthetic dyes/paints, and that's ultimately what's in contact with our bodies? If this is a source of endocrine disruption, won't cotton affect me just the same? Wouldn't I have to wear undyed, natural color cotton to make a difference?

You know what, Christianity says to bless people that curse you, or at least consider what people criticizing you say especially if you think they're against you. I thought you were more adversarial before than now that I read your reply...

Honestly I can barely read what I wrote. I can but barely. I really like it but it's not suited for most readers, it's good for my future self but that's it.

The volume of ideas is fine. It's fine to write extensively.
But the format is bad, everything's too long. Posts are too long, 1400 characters is an essay, way too long. Then, paragraphs are too long, walls of text are huge. Then, sentences are too long, should be fewer clauses.

So more "reply" button pushes per hour of writing for more shorter posts, more returns for paragraphs, and more periods for sentences.

Maybe more editing too, if I'm going to write something for others maybe proofread.
I was at Sun Labs at that time - Ousterhout's group was internally regarded as one of the top groups there. I was in a different group.

My recollection is that the concerns were not around technical merit:
a. Tcl and Java were positioned as competitors,
b. Sun saw Java as a critical weapon in its fight against Microsoft,
c. Java won the internal battle, which led to Tcl/Scriptics spin out.
LLU, and now the successor to it with FTTX where OpenReach manages the last mile and has a capped fee they can charge ISP's has done wonders for competition in the broadband space.

You have "pack em in and sell it cheap" providers like PlusNet, super techy focussed providers like AAISP (and to a lesser extend Zen) and those in the middle.
I'd call this a case of "humans are really good at noticing relationships but not their nature".

Yeah, much of the time people are on to something - and most of the time they have no idea what, just that something is amiss, whether it's their understanding, media coverage, or an actual systemic issue.
I suggest to walk in forum of 7cups.com , you can find better advices in there.

I remember when you could say just about any hateful thing on YouTube you wanted, but no lesbians kissing.

I get your point, but reddit will sanitize their site for advertising revenue, and it will become a much less interesting place. I understand people wanting to get rid of jailbait and hate subs, but the fact is that you don't have to look at them if you don't want to, and it doesn't ever end with the obvious bad shit. If they'd just stop there I wouldn't have a problem with it at all.
Ask HN: What is some advice for starting work on a decades old codebase?
Florida is the first-order loser here. They now have to pay for services like fire and road maintenance that Reedy Creek used to cover. Orange County (which along with Osceola is one of the two most affected) will see its taxes rise as much as 20%. Similarly, Florida is now on the hook for nearly a billion dollars of debt previously held by Disney.

Yeah, agreed, it looks like they are very efficient. But I'm very familiar with the Bank as a Service space, and your data points very much prove my point:

1. The reason so many BaaS companies partner with existing banks is because the process of getting a bank charter is incredibly time consuming and expensive. There are tons of costs just in legal/compliance before you've even done anything. I'm not 100% clear if Column bought an existing chartered bank or got a new charter, but either route is millions right off the get go.

2. As you point out, they were at 3 years from founding to launch. That's an eternity in the VC-funded startup world. Most startups have an initial MVP in a ~6 month time frame.

Yes, this is harmful to Elon’s “lovers” and at their expense (not yours, not his).

Eep! efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma only does anything if CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_PCI_DMA is set, and distros should not be setting that by default (it's a thing that works Just Fine in theory, and specific implementations may fail hard with it - eg, if ExitBootServices() triggers a callback that assumes that a PCI device is able to DMA, things may explode). It's a useful security feature (I mean, I wrote it, I would say that) but it can break even if implementations follow the spec perfectly.

I have no idea why MS would choose to mix-and-match. Maybe the margin department has a global limit and that's hit by giving most of it to Musk? Maybe the margin department only covers the amount of Musk's stock they think they can sell in a margin call without causing the stock to tank? Maybe the other loan was using SpaceX stock (margin would only apply to public stock)?

It's also possible that Elon is getting a lower rate for the non-margin loan, but at a much worse multiple (putting up far more shares as collateral).

But that's all making stuff up.
There are places that zone for conservation. There are also organizations that buy land and place deed restrictions against developing it, then resell it.

There are areas around me that do these as well as allow for high density housing. These areas are suburbs, small towns, and small cities in the Philly region. We still have sprawl, and prices are relatively high. Even though it's possible to build high density housing in many areas, most people don't. They can get more for large sfh since there's a lot of demand for that. There are some apartments and condos being built, but it seems most of them are pretty expensive or upscale. So even though the zoning is permissive, sfh are the primary construction due to preferences. The conservation can also inflate prices by restricting supply and introducing regulations to deal with.

Just an aside on the regulations... some of them can be extremely stupid, like a prohibition on impermeable surfaces being interpreted to include stuff like gravel. If gravel is an impermeable surface, then maybe we can take the regulator to the desert and pour their water on some gravel and come back in a few days...
That's not true.

Single mode fiber installed decades ago (for sure the early 90s) can still trivially be used to drive 10G and even 100G over reasonable distances.

It's a question of how the fiber network is laid out and designed. If you're doing things with any kind of PON components in "the field" you're limiting yourself to a lifetime measured in a decade or two. If you're doing things with active components in the field you're limiting yourself to a lifetime of a decade at most.

If you do things with just fiber to each house to a central location with each run under the optical budget of a 40/80k optic that infrastructure will probably last for 100 years.

I do agree however that to decide to do this in the 1980s would have been an impossible leap in logic for any government and judging them for not doing it based on what we know now is entirely unfair. Technically however, it would have been very very possible.
Depending on your oral microbiome, there are more specific mouthwashes that primarily target anaerobic species that are implicated in diseases like gum disease and halitosis. Fluoride is highly effective at reducing caries incidence, but some newer ingredients also exist (such as nanohydroxyapatite) with high clinical efficacy if you worry about fluoride overexposure.

Additionally, depending on your oral microbiome, and your risk for oral disease, we recommend other products that can reduce your risk of disease and prevent the outgrowth of species implicated in oral disease.

Pocket operators are (relatively) cheap and a whole lot of fun! I have the po-33 which is a sampler. It's amazing how much you can do with it. One of those devices where the limitations force you to be creative.

Can thoroughly recommend if you're in any way inclined. Their other pocket operators are more synthy, but I'm a hip hop head so naturally gravitated towards the sampler.

Having worked with a remote dev team in Romania it was actually pretty solid. Fast to services locally peered, slower to elsewhere, but still miles better than what I had in the UK at the time.

And for telecommunications, which are definitely in the "utility" category now, subsidies for the up-front capital costs are warranted IMHO, especially as it can act as an economic accelerator.

As for contemporary wifi, that's why I had my house wired for Cat 6 a few months back - I've got 3 Wifi 6 access points as well (PoE powered, ceiling mounted) and can saturate my 500/70 FTTP connection.

I use a format I call id25, with takes a time-sorted UUIDv7, and represents its 128 bits as 25 chars from a Base 35 alphabet which has 0-9, a-k, m-z.

Since I could drop one char from Base 36, and still store 128 bits, I decided to drop the "l", to reduce ambiguity with "1". And since I used lower case letters, "o" and "0" look quite different.

Interestingly, for my usual use case, they made this product almost obsolete several months ago when they unlocked the USB audio functionality for the OP-1. Now that I have full stereo in/out at what I assume is 96k, and the ability to edit and playback from a DAW, the addition of a "real-world" audio interface like a duet or something for doing mics makes more sense than this.

I still want one.

I didn’t have the why is it so expensive reaction at all. Mine was “looks really expensive but maybe it’s not”, and then disappointment in the cost. However I totally expected it to cost around $1000. I don’t qualify as anything other than a noodler so I wouldn’t spend that money on it, but as you say professionals would.
