Where have you seen a teacher adapt to a student? I have seen them screaming when kids don't do what the teacher expects (but doesn't properly explain). A computer would never do that.
Thats one of the very obvious drawbacks.. Money is a store of value, but crypto just tries to 'be' the value, which doesn't go well, because well it's not valuable at all
It occurs to me that this might even date from last year.

Their IT systems have been abysmal, last year I placed an order for one of their specialty products. They had replaced the IT system and not even ported over the account data, I had to set up a new account. Well, welcome to the modern age, on-line ordering is actually functional! However, I was limited to ordering one case. At the time I didn't think much of it, just figured it was applying some dollar limit to what a new customer could order. Earlier this year I found it was still only possible to buy one case and an error code was configured for trying to order more than one--no explanation.
Ha. I was poor in my 20s. Couldn’t save money even if I had wanted too.
I do really think that what most trans activists (and most trans people) want is "please let us live our lives". That said, I'm in Australia, and maybe things are really different wherever you are.

Of course, "live our lives" includes trans kids being able to live their lives too, being safe at their school, etc. And trans people should be able to play sport if they like, it's a healthy thing to do.

As far as social sport goes, I personally prefer mixed sport, but I think that the excitement over trans people playing in women's leagues is unnecessary. At the professional level, I can understand a need for a bit more precision, but my understanding is that the international sporting bodies have regulations and they (the sporting bodies) don't seem to think there's a big issue.

As far as "irreversible medical procedures on minors" goes... (and this is the one that spurred me on to reply) ...it's just not a thing.

And again, I'm in Australia, but I'm pretty sure this applies globally. To my knowledge, we simply do not perform reassignment surgery on children.

The WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) guidelines (available here: https://www.wpath.org/media/cms/Documents/SOC%20v7/SOC%20V7_... ) clearly state that one of the criteria for surgery is being "the legal age of majority to give consent for medical procedures in a given country"
That is the official advice from "Brad Jones, CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas". What's unserious about it?

Reportedly, six power plants were offline, accounting for "roughly 2,900 megawatts of electricity — or enough to power nearly 600,000 homes".

Massive demand combined with substantial supply reduction is generally bad news.
If you look at the GDP per capita graph for most developed countries it has a similar shape

At the moment, that's exactly how I share my 3d Objects.

The magic of Mastodon is not that it's a Twitter clone, it's that it's federated, so any Mastodon instance can share it's "Toots"(ugh) with any other Mastodon instance (or advantageously, not).

In my imagined server, you would host your own 3D Files, and that data would be federated to other servers. Prusa might host it's server that has thousands of users and hundreds of thousands of objects, but when someone does a search, my dozens of objects show up there too.
Except it doesn’t really work that way these days. The bad guys run onion payment sites where you exchange an id and get a unique address — they still need to coordinate with the victims.

And before cryptocurrency was big, it was shady credit card gateways in non-friendly jurisdictions. You cannot blame cryptocurrency any more than you can blame onion routing, encryption or the internet. It’s all just tech that is evolving and getting more efficient.
I'm absolutely baffled by this attitude in literally every single programming language thread in HN.

PLT and PL Design don't live in vacuum, it's a vast field that has been developing exponentially in the last years (just like any other CS discipline).

Any development in Haskell, Rust etc... Or other relatively mainstream frontier languages are fundamentally relevant to any other language's design. Period. All this bickering about "Rust in every thread" is excruciatingly misguided. Lessons we can learn from Rust will be highly influential on other languages and it's worth discussing these. Please keep this in mind before complaining for the 999th time.

No I just meant I checked it out because the name caught my eye. It's an amazing show.
This design kind of relies on there only being painted edge lanes, as drivers are expected to yield out to these edge lanes when encountering cars from the opposite direction.

Unless I've fundamentally misunderstood the concept.
The person I am directly responding to was disputing the idea that employers are paying US rates in Canada at all ("That’s quite an assumption that US companies are paying US rates in Canada."), not SV rates specifically. Please don't try to shift the goal posts.
You're saying the exact same thing. Bitcoin is created by special coinbase transaction with no predecessors, each block contains at most 1 of those, if block proposal was easy then peers would be incentivized to create money out of nothing.

Double spends are just another, smarter, subtler way to "create" money, by exploiting inconsistent versions of the same supposedly-shared state.

It all boils down to scarcity in the end, that's a necessary condition for a currency. Value is scarce, so anything representing and storing it must be so too.
As an American it was immediately clear to me the sort of road this website is suggesting we replace with edge lane roads. They are two lane, dotted-white divided, and limited to 45mph. Very common rural and exurban pattern.

This might not have been as clear outside of the North American context.
I used to work in Utrecht in the Netherlands as a contractor (doing Delphi progamming,me based the UK) and I can safely say that the bikes used to terrify me far more than the cars did, as the NL has some of the worst gridlock in Europe, so you can walk faster than the cars, even on motorways. The bikes used to sneak up on you.
Despite recent improvements including raw string literals it beggars belief how Java still requires regex metacharacters to be escaped. Until that's fixed Java is not an option for me.

I agree that the word ‘superiority’ is loaded and probably not the appropriate term to use when talking about a culture. However, many people use the word ‘culture’ to mean countable things; if someone says a place ‘has a lot of culture’, often times they mean ‘there are many things to do’. In other words, a lot of options when you are choosing what you want to do for your day off, or your evening out.

Just imagine you are planning a night out with friends. As someone who grew up in a small town, our options were very limited. You could go to the movies, the bowling alley, or go to someone’s house. If you wanted dinner, there were only a few restaurants serving a small variety of cuisines. It would be impossible to do a different thing every night for more than a week or so.

In a big city, you could do something different every night and not run out of different things to do for years. You could eat a different restaurant every night, eating a completely different cuisine each time.

If you are simply counting things to do, a city is ‘superior’.
this is not the same as the cryptography being broken

losing crypto due to hardware failure or forgetting keys is not the same as someone taking it by breaking the cryptography . If this were possible, there is tons of crypto right now for the taking. It's a self-funding bug bounty.

No, the US's response has significantly changed since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the point where regime change looks like it's in the cards. There are very clear corporate and regulatory interests in a Russian regime that complies with western governments. If lobbying efforts can cause site blocking in trade agreements, why wouldn't that be the case for regime change negotiations?

Something being difficult to legislate doesn't absolve the need for legislation. Police are arguably much more destructive and prone to abuse and corruption, but the solution is not to legalize theft.

The whole point of legislation is to draw lines along slippery slopes, I would think that the potential for abuse exists in almost every law ever written.
If you read the filing by Twitter that isn't the only thing they said. If he is relying solely on "bot" percentages to try to back of the deal, it will likely not end well on his end. They way they phrased it in their filing the percentage could be much higher and it would not be a lie. Note the definition of a bot account isn't black and white either. Users that use software to post and follow in mass may not even be considered a bot account.
Would refusing to move be cause for termination? That's not a layoff, perhaps, at least in the eyes of the unemployment regulations?
This would be then termination with cause. Employment agreements generally state that employees can be required to work from any location as required by the employer. Refusal is then called breach of contract and hence termination without cause.

Very true, and a good point. Strong culture and community is certainly not exclusive to rural areas. I imagine there are many neighborhoods in large cities where an outsider moving in expecting mass media American culture would not feel welcome (although it may be easier to travel to an area of the city with more generic culture where they do feel welcome than it would be living in a rural area).
I enjoyed riding on this style of road near Amsterdam. It struck me as a very efficient use of space for roads that don't experience high volume traffic on a regular basis. Drivers naturally slowed down and waited their turn to pass when they saw cyclists and oncoming traffic. It made me wish that things like this would exist in the US.

But again, all of my experience riding in the US tells me that this style of road is a terrible idea without two prerequisites:

1. significant increase in difficulty of obtaining a license

2. enforcement of penalties when drivers murder cyclists and pedestrians

The number of times that people have dangerously cut through a bike lane, done high speed close passes, swerved and accelerated into incoming traffic to do a dangerous pass while going 20mph over the speed limit, randomly pulling over to park directly in front of me in a no parking zone in the bike lane, etc, that I have seen in the US, makes me dread this kind of road.
Seems like a classic example of fly-by-night companies barely staying afloat on the highly dubious claims they make about their products or services. They don't value their customers. They say they do, but they just want their money.
The problem I see with Yeggi (and I've run into it a lot) is that it's just a web-scraping catalog. I've tried many times to download objects that were linked on Yeggi only to find that they've disappeared.
It was rarer because we had less computers and less interconnectness. Major incidents are caused by supply chain compromise, or very targeted attacks, all of which gets worse as the population grows.

Taking payments over the internet has been fairly easy for decades. If not, do you really think we would be where we are today.

I get you like to blame cryptocurrency on crime, but it is but a component, of which other components are just as critical and yet we cannot have a modern digital society without them.
Female representation in video games sure feels to me like an ongoing problem. Is it better now than it used to be? Yes. Is it no longer an issue? No.

I don't think anyone's arguing that there's zero female representation. The argument is that there isn't enough and/or what representation there is is poor representation.
A president is usually better at doing this via executive orders... Simply because it's one president who has to sign the order vs many congressman who have to agree to pass an act... So it's unclear why this has not happened...
K timing, squaring a 100x100 matrix in ngn/k:

a:100 0N#?10000 / 100x100 double matrix
\t:1000 a(+/*)\:a / Total of 1k runs in ms
1514

Following C program outputs 272 when compiled and run with -O3 -march=native.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
size_t monoclock(void) {
struct timespec ts;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
return 1000000000*ts.tv_sec + ts.tv_nsec;
}

int main() {
const size_t n = 100;
double a[n][n], r[n][n];
size_t t = monoclock();
for (size_t iter=0; iter<1000; iter++) {
for (size_t i=0; i<n; i++) {
for (size_t j=0; j<n; j++) {
double sum = 0;
for (size_t k=0; k<n; k++) sum += a[i][k]*a[k][j];
r[i][j] = sum;
}
}
}
printf("%lld\n", (monoclock() - t)/1000000);
}

So K is slower, by a factor of 5 rather than the 200 you saw with Python. K appears to scale to larger matrices better than C: 8664 in K vs 2588 in C for 200x200, but I can't be bothered to sort out heap allocation for the C code to do larger sizes. I would certainly not say that your story supports the idea that performance is what matters. In the month you took to implement the C version, the Python solution could have run ten times over, and there are many computations that only ever need to be performed once. Besides, I bet you were glad to have working Python code to use as a reference!
In addition to this, the reason that Europe is an attractive option for baby formula is because their regulatory bodies take "food for infants" more seriously than we do here.

I say this in a friendly way, it sounds like you're developing an eating disorder.

Maybe go see a doctor who deals in both nutrition and disordered eating, they exist, see what he or she thinks.
I don't think anyone believes that these groups were a statistically significant component of the protests. Of course, if we legitimately think that Nazis and white-supremacist groups present a serious problem in Canada we should be addressing it - not using it as a kind of guilt by proximity argument to delegitimize protests of other causes.
Correction, she wasn't lynched. She was sent to the guillotine on 14th October 1793 for high treason. Her husband, King Louis XVI, the last king of the regime ancient had already been guillotined months earlier in January.
I can relate: stopped drinking alcohol in early 2020, and videogames are mostly social now, to stay in touch with a few good friends, and I still struggle with food. Practicing fasting helped me be able to go without the "safety blanket" of always having snacks in the car, for example. Because I have a young child, and a spouse who prefers to eat throughout the day, I'm still surrounded by food. When I'm feeling more stressed it is that much harder to stick to my narrower eating window. Coffee and fats help, and warm salty water.

I'd be wary of going without "real" food for a year. Fiber and plants in general feel like such an important part of my diet, and the pleasure of eating for an hour and feeling full of healthy food seems like a healthy part of life. Relegating sugar to a condiment at best is an important step toward being able to notice the compulsion to eat, and then do something else instead.

What you're proposing sounds interesting but also something I wouldn't opt for myself. Everyone is different, though, and we're for the most part free to try things. I keep a journal and that helps me be more aware and forgive myself when I don't do exactly what I'd prefer. Helps obviate regret.

My default at this point is to delay breakfast, ideally until mid-afternoon, and have one more meal a few hours later, with the family. Sometimes I skip that if I'm still full from the break-fast. It's taken months of practice, and I'm not as regimented as I'd like, but it's better than before.

I hope you find something that works.
It's sort of a pull/push hybrid. The client connects to the collection system and is told how often to send each metric (or group of them) back over that same connection. You configure per target/metric collection policy centrally.
Not a vitamin but NAC helps me with obsessive behaviors and changing habits.

Hilarious that the FDA threw a fit over it.
I know someone who successfully got their food addiction under control via “FA” - see foodaddicts.org. Basically they put you on a strict food plan where you weigh & measure all parts of your meals and avoid sugar and any of your personal triggers, and you check in regularly with a sponsor like in AA. Not something I would want to do, but for one person I know who couldn’t get their eating under control, it worked really well.
I’d be careful not to jump to the conclusion that credentials are bad or requiring them amounts to anything corrupt, extractive or squatting.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with requiring that a job applicant meet minimum standards, in fact most people are wildly in favor of requirements when it comes to, say, doctors & lawyers, not to mention our infrastructure designers and safety inspectors, etc.. It’s certainly within the purview of the employer to define those requirements, and okay for them to require some well rounded ness and non-vocational skills, right?

The selection effect has, like I mentioned earlier, been studied extensively, and many researchers have come to the conclusion that despite the credentialism, college degrees also do impart useful knowledge and skills on the degree holders, even when attempting to adjust for many possible confounding factors such as family income, family education, and the filtering weight of the credential system. It’s not that hard to accept that the majority of people who spend 4 or more years trying to learn actually do learn something and achieve some general skills, right?

It’s complicated, but I don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing that society & business widely agree to allow the bachelor’s degree to represent a certain level of preparedness. Yes, it’s a wildly blunt measure, often inaccurate, and it may be commonly misinterpreted too, since we’re really talking about minimum standards, and not a measure of skill, but I see reasons why the state of things might have evolved this way and might not necessarily be broken to a first approximation.

> Both the Americans and the Soviets shipped all material they could find about the V2 to their respective countries

Really sucks, to put it mildly, because it kind of entwines space exploration with Nazis, attaching ethical questions to JWST and even to our beloved "One small step for..." audio clip. But maybe we can sift out whether the V2 would have been developed regardless of whether Nazis came to power in Germany. What if we had a time machine, and could very surgically stop the Nazis ever coming to power and prevent the Holocaust. Would it also cost us the V2 rocket and a lot of time getting to where we are now with space exploration? I know it is a dumb hypothetical, but I want to know Nazi tech is irrelevant.

My girlfriend from Vancouver is moving to the states to live with me. In trying to find a job for her, whenever potential employers hear that she is Canadian, they immediately want to offer remote for her from Vancouver at the local salary rate, which is half what it would be in the US.
I'll note though that eventually the fossil fuels run out, so the mining will need to be done anyway. It's only a question of now vs later with the later option being "habitat destruction AND massive global temperature rise" and the now option being just "habitat destruction". So habitats are getting destroyed either way.
Not really any of those things. Conformity increases social trust and reduces social transaction costs; it yields non-zero sum returns to social efficiency for the same reason standardization often does. There is a reason societies closer to the edge of survival are more rigidly conformist. It’s not because Bangladeshis or Africans are dumb or backward, but because your typical third world village would quickly die of starvation if you ran it like a California college.

Restriction of choice can likewise be welfare maximizing. People’s brains aren’t fully developed until 25. Which is remarkable if you think about it. People spend a third of their lives walking around without all their faculties. And even after that most people have trouble making good decisions. Not just dumb people, but nearly everyone. Why are there fat doctors and nurses? Rigid social norms can help people make better decisions, especially the people who need the most help with that. Again, there is a reason individual choice is emphasized almost solely in societies rich enough to afford letting people make mistakes.
This is crazy. What an absolute gem to discover all this.

Ocaml's C-implemented functions are linked statically. But like JNI, the C functions have special names and type signatures, so it is slightly different from, say, ctypes in Python.

CGO for Go is statically linked, too. Its overhead stems from significant differences between the Go and C world. The example uses dynamic linking, but it would not have to do that.
