Does it really matter if it was a writing assignment, or a class in tire changing, provided that the information is correct?
What about .editorconfig?
Is there any real benefit over some thermal pads and heat sinks? I've passively cooled CPUs to idle at 40 degrees and max out at 60 degrees during benchmarking. I imagine $10 worth of pads and heatsinks would achieve the same outcome as this expansion card.
Gotcha, thanks.

Not sure how this would help replace `--pure` though.
It isn't nitpicking at all, I had the same question and glad you uncovered this answer. I think site:*.edu is just one tool in your search toolbox that you should know about, but I wouldn't expect it to work for every topic. Still, I had never thought of it so I'm glad I read this article.
What if they did it based on the user’s state explicitly, rather than their geographic location?
only 3mm shorter, but other dimensions bigger than pixel 5 plus MUCH smaller display thanks to huge bezels
The mentioned queries provide quite good search results for me

The first link clearly explains how to fix a tire and right underneath the first link, there's a link to Youtube video with described sections which you can click on immediately

The sites are full of tracking and ads, but that's hardly Google's fault imo
NO kudos for barely doing the job.

-Like React/React-native ecosystem pioneered the component based declarations of UI elements.

What do you mean? Qt,WPF, Flex was doing UI with an XML syntax language before React existed, some people prefered doing things by hand instead of rag and drop back then too. The "components" were named Controls or Widgets and the Web still is a inferior pile of shit because in this old tooljits when you needed say a custom DataGrid widget you extended the existing one and where in Web you start from Zero with divs,inputs and buttons.
Besides what you've mentioned, overprovisioning/garbage collection may also cause slowdowns after sustained writes.

The more I've worked with SSDs to try to get them to perform well, the more I've come to realize benchmarking SSD performance is virtually impossible to do in any meaningful sense, because they themselves are stateful and your performance is highly dependent not only on what you are doing now, but what you did a few moments ago. There's also a bunch of protocol-level behavior adding to this, as well as os-level behavior that may be difficult to isolate, and even if you succeed, yeah, you're benchmarking the device in an unrealistic fashion unlike any actual real world usecases so congrats I guess.
I started my PhD recently, and in the process I've had to learn Isabelle/HOL, and I gotta say that using it sort of feels like you're unlocking the keys to understanding the universe.

Like, I understand that it's fundamentally still code, and so there are potential bugs in the kernel, but shear versatility and level of automation you get within Isabelle/HOL makes the development and understanding of proof feel like outright magic sometimes. Proof is really hard, and having a powerful tool to mechanically check it has nearly limitless potential.
The irony is that flash write endurance for modern flash chips is actually greater if the writes are at higher temperature. Charge mobility is greater, and the writing damages the cells less.

Unpowered persistence is the opposite, however. At 85 Celsius, the data may last only single digit days unpowered by at freezing temperatures could last hundreds of years unpowered. For the same reason, I believe: charge mobility is lower at lower temperatures in semiconductors.
I was proposing NYC regulations, not trusting a mega-corp to self regulate. But with a few million in lobbyists maybe it works out the same.

>>These days there are very good wireless earbuds.

Yes, and now I ended up in an idiotic situation where I have to have a pair for every device I own, because switching bluetooth connections is an unbelivable pain in the ass. No such problems with wired - you only need one pair, you plug them in, they work, end of story.

Not to mention issues like audio sync, which is just broken as hell. As an example, using top of the line headphones(sony MX4s) + a top of the line phone(Galaxy S21), audio isn't in sync with anything other than youtube. Playing games? Enjoy hearing your shots 1s after you fire them. And using them with windows? Now everything is slightly out of sync, because windows is a flaming pile of garbage when it comes to bluetooth audio.

Thought the same, but it would be unfair to web sites that are actual web apps and are JS-heavy.

Google is hopeless anyway, so here's something for the next search engine that wants to bring back the Web: downrank by the number of 3rd party domain requests, attempts of tracking, and possibly also popups.
Idiots are everywhere. Also in web technology workgroups.
I don't see how maximum computed contrast like black (RGB:000000) on white (RGB:FFFFFF) can be any better of a shade of gray on pale yellow or lighter gray. A lot of web frameworks, frontends and apps like these grayish text, fading widgets and the likes. This is deliberate stupidity and nothing can prove the opposite.

I got into 3D printing miniatures and statues and stuff during the pandemic. Spent one of the stimulus checks on a good resin printer, was astounded by the quality. Then realized the filament printers were a better idea for some prints and bought 3 of them.

Then I wanted painted stuff, so I bought some cheap store paints, they were okay so I bought some hobby paints which were excellent. It really wows people instead of getting them some cheap present for Christmas printing them a cool statue and painting it up.

Another thing is that 3D printers are still very hacker ish so for me another fun part was analyzing what upgrades were actually functional and helped me print faster/more accurately and only doing those upgrades. This includes software side like compiling your own open source firmware and integrating a general purpose CPU in a Raspberry Pi to do the gcode processing. It’s a good way to do low stakes configuration and compiling of software so it’s something I’m capable of as an SWE and it’s fun to tinker with since the worst that’ll happen is I’ll have to reformat my printer.
Also, it's not even that debt isn't liquid; debt (much like corporate stocks, bonds, etc.) is very liquid. It's just not something you want to be forced to exit prematurely.

So it's not even that the bank can't pay out, it's just that it costs them a little extra.
I wouldn't be so sure. I bet there is a viable business in selling a quality search engine.

Maybe not dominate the market, take over the world, but not every thing has to be that.
The fact that they're all cubic isn't really the notable part of the runtime of computing the different decompositions, because the constants involved are really different. In practice, a common reason for computing many of these decompositions is to solve a linear system `Ax=b`, because with the decomposition in hand it is really easy to solve the whole system (using e.g. backsubstitution). For instance, with C++s Eigen, look at the 100x100 column of [1], and we can see that there's orders of magnitude difference between the fast and slow approaches. THey're all still cubic, sure, but we're talking 168x difference here.

(of course, it's not so clear cut, since robustness varies, not all methods are applicable, and the benchmark is for solving the system, not computing the decomposition, but overall, knowledge of which decomposition is fast and which is not is absolutely crucial to practitioners)

This seems contradictory. Isn't the Twitter employee exercising his freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is a value that Elon Musk, the Richest and therefore the Smartest, Man on Earth values so highly that Musk is willing to buy Twitter to increase.

This must be fake news. I can't believe Elon Musk would be so woke!
As an additional data point one of the higher yields for USDC alone seems to be based off doing a recursive lending strategy on Valas which at this current point in time has about a 6.9% APY.
Okay, let's remove the "obviously" from my quote. Everybody is different.

In my case, I don't see why I would be sad over having a bit more place. It would be nice to have a place for an office, a small home gym, bigger kitchen, dining room, terrace with a BBQ, etc.

I'm not saying it would solve every problem in my life, but it would make a couple of things less inconvenient.
While some might be more rigorous about working on a commit at a time, a couple other helpful bits are:

- Cleaning up print() calls and similar debug
- It's a first-pass review of your own changes; re-read docstrings/comments, and easily go right back to them and update them etc. The diff view is different from the coding view and you gain insights, etc.

This might apply moreso to my often script-oriented coding that does 20 new things, rather than e.g. unit-test backed "formal" coding that does a few specific things.

My own workflow isn't quite at the "commit often" level of frequency, but instead I'm simultaneously crafting several related but separately-reviewable commits in one branch for one PR.

Just 1% of Google's market might be enough to sustain a non-bloated, VC-free company and make a good product.

The Bloomberg Terminal is extremely expensive and yet companies pay for it because it makes their traders' jobs so much more efficient. I don't see why companies wouldn't do the same for a search engine that filters out all the bullshit so their employees don't have to waste their time wading through it.
Don't have much to add here but I desperately feel the need to +1 this in case any manufacturers are paying attention. Every phone I bought was google's latest flagship since the G1 came out, including the most recent pixel 6 (non pro). I absolutely hate the size of it and went back to my pixel 4. I really am disappointed that google is forcing me to shop around more, and that apparently there aren't any great options.
> there is no upside to holding it

People don't hold tether because they love tether. They hold it because they need it to trade crypto. So you need to balance the risk of tether being a scam with the opportunity risk of not being able to trade because you don't hold it.
ha! nice, thanks for that
Perhaps you don't have a vision disability that requires this.

Free 15 minute WordPress website assessment and consultation
Quick question for those in my Hacker News network... Do you or someone you know have a WordPress website that would like a free 15 minute assessment and consultation to avoid downtime so your website is live 24/7?

My team and I have completed 10,000+ site fixes and has 100+ current active customers.
Regarding the method ... isn't this illegal?

IMO these videos seem fabricated, they're just too convenient.

It's effectively the author's personal website. If he can change the A record for his domain name, he is in control. That he might not want to do this is a different matter.

When Salesforce bought Heroku back in 2011, it was pretty clear Heroku would become yet another dead product that once was an absolute great piece of software.

Why? Commercialism.

Founders sell to the highest bidder to make their exit worthwhile for themselves, not caring about the future of the product (and customers).

It's a no-brainer that a commercial company like Salesforce (it's in their name!) doesn't have what it takes to build AAA software, but focuses on maximizing their profit. They drove away their best staff, focused on the wrong features, and are seemingly overwhelmed by maintaining their purchased software, all while probably not even realizing their demise.

We should all come to the agreement that takeovers of fundamental software by incompetent companies should be seen as a hostility towards every current user of said software.
Solar stills can be simpler or far more complex than that, too. One design's just a milk jug and some aquarium tubing. Others are shed-sized or barn-sized construction projects.

One would argue that it's hard to make others care about your contrast preferences when you won't change blogging platforms despite contrast problems.
> 1) view their page for ads 2) click on their affiliate links 3) buy the product they're selling.

1 and 2 are trivial to detect. 3 is harder but still not impossible given Google's machine learning capabilities and existing datasets.

Downrank or ban ads & affiliate links and you remove any incentive for creating spam sites in the first place.
It doesn't matter what new model you come up with. As long as capitalism is around and pushing for ever increasing profits this kind of behavior will always be on the menu.
This also strongly implies to me that Google is going to drop support for App Passwords in at most a few years.
Python 3.11 Performance Improvements

This is pretty danged cool. Downloaded, run the startup script and it fired right up. The moving arrow vis is a little corny, but the rest of what it's getting across is really neat. I doubt I'll replace SequelAce / TablePro with this tool, but when I'm trying to explain the schema to some newer users I will definitely break this out.
Depends on the perspective. Adding one data field to a Kafka record, or Protobuf message, or Bigtable cell, or Postgres table is already an improvement.

There is already so much work to do consuming data from A, transforming it, and storing it into B.

> How can we fund meaningful search divorced from an ad business?

The only way you have not listed is gov't funding. And i dont think i would trust a gov't run search engine either. May be a well meaning librarian institution could make it work.

this hasn't really been tried yet - it could work, who knows?
I switched to using kagi.com a while ago, and I've never looked back. I've tried to use duckduckgo before but just ended up using '!g' most of the time.

Kagi is in a whole other league. It's on par with, if not better than google search. I highly recommend it. When they introduce the paid tier I'm sure as hell going to subscribe to it. At this point I would trade my Netflix subscription for it.
This is ultimately an unimportant distinction. Multi-Paxos and Raft have only minor differences which are only important internally. From the perspective of designing a larger database system like Spanner or CockroachDB, the differences are not material.
Never gotten xmlstar to successfully query XML documents.
Their new API does not cover the use cases of their old API, nor is it likely to as copyright holders are more likely to object to the lack of DRM in the old API (which was basically "authenticate, get direct access to audio data". The new official API is tied into EME DRM, which only works if you are a browser with a valid CDM. They also have Android and iOS APIs that support those platforms DRM implementations, but nothing for apps that are neither web nor mobile
These wells may not have been profitable if you had to run a pipeline to them to deliver the gas to a market where it could have been put to use, and therefore the headline would have been correct.
I think ruby is mostly to blame. Proxies are almost always useful though and rarely contain that much complexity.
While stated like fact, you're espousing a relatively radical philosophical perspective about reality. It might drive radical social change (or desire to), but most people don't think like this.
`site:` is great.

As an aside, anyone knows if you can still find "who links to?". I used to do this to hear how people feel about my site/app. I would do something like `link:foo.bar.com` I don't remember if it was link: or linkto: but it seems it no longer is supported? :(
The conventional wrong answer is to short USDT/USD on an exchange like Coinbase.

The correct answer is to do a spread trade between BTC/USDT and BTC/USD since this is where the liquidity is.

The real answer for you is to stay away from this trade. If you need to ask how to do it, you obviously don't appreciate all the complications of such a trade. Remember that this trade will only make money if Tether implodes, and if that happens there will be crazy volatility all around, and you could end up losing money on a seemingly correct trade like shorting USDT/USD.

I'm an Apple music subscriber and I feel discovery is poor there, too. Back in the day iTunes genius was phenomenally good at recommending music. I spent a fortune in the iTunes music store. My guess is they let it stagnate because with cloud music there's no financial incentive to make music discovery good as they get the monthly revenue either way.

The presence of ads, analytics and affiliate links are a good proxy for "spam site" and is very hard to game, so downranking them is a trivial solution.

Google will never do it because those ads & analytics can be Google's and benefit their bottom line.

I have a financial advisor who does all this for me so as it happens I have 100% clarity regarding what my retirement funds are invested in. Asking a financial services provider to prove they've got the assets they say they have is absolutely table stakes and even required by law in a lot of cases. But not for crypto scams, of course.
A good SRE can utilize system level tools to figure out what’s happening in a program without really knowing a whole lot about the program.
At this point I’d pay for it. Every search I do these days is a fight with Google to find pearls buried in the overwhelming muck. I’d sincerely like to see how search curation would change if the intent was to keep me as a paying customer, not to show me more ads.

First result https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20120921215133/http:/...

Short but description of the iris and the function in the eye.

For textual links 2 out of 9 responses for eye irises. and 7 out of 9 for the flower.

embedded in the same page is 'Images for what is an iris site:.edu'
and 10 out of 10 of those links are for eye irises.

Switching over to image search the first 20 are all about eye irises.
This doesn't make any sense. Even you knew the C calling convention, but not C, where are you going to get documentation for system calls that doesn't use C code? The Linux, macOS, etc documentation uses C.
It's not a Google problem, it's a web problem.

Everything is based around SEO spam. If someone has a website, and they're producing content, their point is to monetize the browsing of the website itself, or promote their main product via the website.

This incentivizes a certain kind of content, which is marketing content.

These days I'm back to searching social networks like Reddit or Hacker News for (at least somewhat) unbiased information.

Google is a fuzzy-search address bar at this point for me.

No, recessions happens when the economy is out of balance and corrects. Look at this graph for example, there was a huge correction happening in 2008. Currently the graph is much more out of line than it was in 2008, so it would make sense that we would need another recession to turn it back again.

I think you are confusing XML style UI declarations with composable-components-based UI declarations.

To cut the explanation short, the former means while initial UI state was declarative (with XML), runtime mutations of UI were mostly imperative with a binding turing complete language.

The recent Component based model of composing UI - the runtime mutations of the elements are expressed as state updates inside the UI declarations itself(and declarations are usually done with a turing complete language)
