Quite a tangent, but Turkey is also a core member of NATO.
Are the lower priced options on Amazon junk compared to the DC1100? I’d like to get a monitor, but I know I’ll probably only use it 10 times. The Dylos would end up being about $25 / reading…

My favorite feature of Uber and Lyft the last several years is that it's essentially a crowdsourced way to transfer wealth from VCs to random users.

Operating every drive at a loss means the rider and drivers benefit and the person holding the bag is some VC who apparently has more money than they know what to do with. Given how many financial structures today seem to flow in the opposite direction and skim a little money from everyone to transfer it to the already-rich, it's nice seeing a system that (completely unintentionally) flows the other way.
Are there any studies showing any group of professionals is rational?

This makes the most sense of all the answers. Either matching the GTK license, or the common Rust app licenses is reasonable. I think I would have gone the other way, but that's just me.
A lot of people pool these services. Uber/lyft/DoorDash/etc.

There’s a ton of hustles. Sometimes they’ll hang a bunch of phones in a tree near a strategic location to get gigs.

It gets to the real problem. If you get in an accident in an Uber and get hurt, there’s a high likelihood that you’re fucked.
If you want see the effect of HN on a new repository: https://star-history.com/#samwillis/tetra&Date

It was on the HN homepage for about 5 hours yesterday, never higher than about 25. The initial jump on the 25th was some attention on Twitter. Also the HN link was to the website, not the GitHub. I imagine if it had been a link to the repository the stars would be higher.
The only realistic way the government could even attempt to accomplish this in any practical way is if they implemented a UBI.

Your example of calling a SWAT team is improper government action.

But if I tell your threaten you to tell your employer you are stealing from him it's blackmail. If you get fired it's destruction of income but still blackmail.

Or an example of former times. I threaten to tell your boss you are gay, you get fired if I do, also destruction of income.

It's not the result but the type of threat. Extortion requires some sort of physical force blackmail is verbal
I assume you would need some sort of hash/encryption to make sure the link is not changed in anyway. I wonder who would need that though.

Then again, with that long param at the end of the url, it looks like it should be unique anyway unless the message is the same.
I felt the same way until the IPO.
I went to school in the 90s and early 2000s in Switzerland

Most teachers that I had were fairly average to good. Some were outright bad (I had a geography teacher who was so in over his head that he was replaced after a year; I had a German teacher for two years who would just assign us projects and go drink coffee most of the time).

But I did have some absolutely amazing teachers that have probably influenced me more than I realise it.

One was my third to fourth grade teacher. An awesome person who really loved kids, made sure to teach us valuable lessons and a very creative person (we made two theater performances that I still remember fondly).

Another was my German and French teacher in the last 4 years of school who opened up the world of literature to me like no one else. She was rigorous and demanding but also kind and understanding.

How does tokamak fusion interpolate between pure D-D and 50/50 D-T? Like, responsive to footnote cite [30], if tritium recovery falls short, could you run a sustainable D-rich D+T mixture, where D+D helps provide more neutrons for breeding tritium? Or does it only make sense to jump *all the way* to pure D+D (like the author argues in OP). What exists in the intermediate zone?

1 kg of deuterium is a lot friendlier to be around and less alarming to find anywhere on the planet than 1 kg of U-235. 1 kg of tritium is a hazard, but it's also more than the global annual production of tritium and any DT reactor would be engineered to have low tritium inventories and a controllable breed rate.
All of these things can be (and are) true and it can be true that Uber and Lyft appear to have an order of magnitude more engineers than they need.
I would ride in a professionally-serviced Crown Victoria over a Prius with bald tires, obviously ruined steering joints, and no windshield wipers, which is a true and faithful description of the last Uber I suffered.
The broker model has a yes out in the transportation industry, before Uber and Lyft were a twinkle in someones eye. It's a low margin business and has gained efficiency through tech. Once we understand that the gross margins are probably 20%, you are scalping the drivers and no driver can exist successfully living off brokered rides alone, Uber and Lyft will price like CH Robinson.
Redux is basically that. Lack of types can be slightly annoying, but controlling your state changes through explicit events tends to prevent a lot of ails.
For the most part, unsophisticated investors aren’t buying individual stocks. They are buying mutual funds and most of them are buying index funds. Neither Uber or Lyft are part of the S&P.

Only “qualified investors” are allowed to buy pre-IPO stock and they should know what they are doing. If they lost money, it’s on them.

Even if you did what you suggested, how should a company allocate fixed expenses? Allocate per mile?
The people I've seen perform best on corporate ladders always seem to have borderline sociopathic tendencies.
Fusion does not "offer benefits" of any energetic or economic kind. It is interesting in the same ways that microkelvin cryogenic and gigapascal hyperpressure are, exercising extreme physics.

Fusion does not offer energy density even approaching commercial fission.

> the current business model passes off nearly all of the costs of actually running a taxi company onto drivers who pay for their own cars, fuel, and insurance, whereas AVs would have meant both companies would be paying for those things, but that’s a moot point now

I know that Vice is a meme these days, but I can't resist. Where do they think the money is going? Mostly to the fees that are paid to drivers. If those costs are baked in and they are still losing money, it's because they're paying the drivers more than they can afford. They were banking on not having to pay AV drivers wages, sick leave, pensions, have them go on strike, etc etc. Just provide customers a good service for an amount these companies could sustain.

Now, that was a wild bet for sure, but not a bad one for humanity to have tried.
> Yes but assembly is an intermediary representation

there's certainly a technical difference between assembly and machine code, but it's pretty common to use the word "assembly" by metonymy with the latter

> the OS is not doing any “direct execution”

OSes have native executable formats for which execution most certainly has less steps than executing a .js, a .jar or a .sh, which I would absolutely call "direct execution". The criterion can be defined I would guess as - does the OS / environment need to launch a separate process / specific steps such as setting up an interpreter before getting to the code you want to execute ? but most likely there's a finer distinction to be made.

Depending on how high the encode/decode/transmit overhead is, it might be a more efficient use of resources. Most game consoles and gaming PCs are idle most of the time. Centralizing the rendering in a data center is going to yield better resource utilization rates.

Mind you, they're still not going to be great rates, because the data center needs to be geographically close and so utilization will vary a lot in daily and weekly patterns.

Then again, maybe you can fill all those GPUs with ML training work when the gaming utilization is low...

> In general, I think we’re at a stage where interface that make more sense physically are still physical. For instance cars are completely electronically driven but we (still) have physically optimized controls. My oven is a computer, but I have nobs and buttons that click. My “smart” lights have rotating controls to adjust brightness, etc.

Unfortunately, we're already sliding in the wrong directionn even on those examples.

Many newer cars have huge touchscreens and relegate many controls to it that used to have dedicated tactile inputs. A lot of newer electric ranges put all the controls on a screen under the same glass surface as the cooktop. Many smart LEDs only have an app to control them.
At the end of the day all we want is reliability and convenience. Sometimes one-to-one business gives you that.
I remember there being signs on Spear St at Folsom with specific destinations for carpools. I can see them on Google Street View in 2021, but they appear to be removed in 2022. (or maybe they're designated on the paper you can't read on street view right now?)

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough before, but what I'm trying to ask is whether or not being an internalizer that acknowledges oneself as a victim (through burnout or a shocking epiphany) could lead to becoming a pessimistic externalizer. That because this ex-internalizer has recognized he has been victimized, he will try to study how he's been wronged and come to the conclusion that he had little control over his life. Or perhaps that staying quiet was what made one a victim in the first place, so that one should do the opposite.

At that point, would "don't be a victim" be useful advice or an empty platitude?

>Writing clean code is not about introducing big abstractions, large refactors. It's about leaving the place better than you found it.

Writing clean code and leaving the place better than you found it requires time. Time we generally just do not have. There comes a point where things just have to work, and all of your ideas about what is "right" and "clean" have to be set aside to make that happen.

> particularly to the neocons who waged a literal war on Muslims soon after coming to power.

I don't have a lot of sympathy with neocons, but I'm pretty sure their attacks on Muslims weren't because they thought Muslims were destroying family values or something.

> You've got a bible verse as your bio so I think I can hazard a guess as to your position.

:-) Yes, but I'm not a Christian.

The Google Ngram is certainly interesting. But my counter argument is that before the 60s, family values were so ingrained in society that they weren't subject to much debate.
Former Lyft engineer here. I'm convinced they will go out of business or sell the scraps to someone... however smart acquirers like Elon wouldn't go near it. Rideshare sucks.
> a lazy sequence that does sensible prefetching and asks the server for more data as it’s iterated through

Isn't this an accurate description of cursor-based pagination? You can have the server hold the cursor and associate a request for the next page based on the client ID (like in the PostgreSQL wire protocol), or you can make the flow stateless (at the network level) by handing the client a ticket for the next page.
It was just the first random idea that came to mind.

But the general point is that when thinking about "interface", we often don't even consider that the interface could be made of physical things and instead implicitly assume pixels on screen. The idea that you could interact with a system not using video is practically unthinkable. Victor's point is that we can't invent what we can't imagine, so it's important to always have visions that seem unattainable and not give in to accepthing things as they are.

Karate is a BDD tool for testing APIs. My experience with it is limited but positive. It’s probably your best option if you want to do BDD.

While I'm extremely sympathetic to this idea, one question nags at me: Long-tail code can also be long tail because _it was well-written from the beginning_. The author is arguing that long tail code lives in a stable, unchanging corner of the business. This can absolutely be true, but it can also be true that a well-written abstraction may service new needs without needing to be changed. (In practice, this is hard.)
I work for a software company who bought a giant new building a couple of years before the pandemic hit. They waited until the last possible minute to let us WFH once the pandemic hit, and then as soon as it got better they instituted a “hybrid” WFH policy - in office 3 days, WFH 2 days.

I don’t understand why. The 2 years we worked from home were the most profitable despite a worldwide pandemic going on, and I felt most productive WFH. We have been seeing a lot of turnover since this policy has gone into effect (last 2 months), more so than in previous years.

It sucks.
CMake + ninja is more popular in new projects ime due to the sheer speed improvement over make.
Exactly! My point is that the fact that mechanical RO units exist and are small shouldn't detract from the utility of the purely electrical solution in the fine article.
Not sure I agree with the parent but thinking it through, you have a single connection and a cleaner life cycle. Streaming writes and reads could mean back-pressure is possible. A client can consume items as needed as opposed to mapping usage to a page size.

There's no worry about wasting a full request on the last page with a single item. In fact there's no worry about round trips at all, it's just a matter of buffer back pressure that communicates the need for more or less.

Hmm, when you think about it, its a pretty good way to go.

Unless user-tracking telemetry is blocked, in which case, apparently your CLI tools stop working?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31542047

Edit: dunno if that comment was deleted because the author was wrong about their PiHole blocking telemetry causing commands to fail, if they were harassed into deleting it, or what.

I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that there was something else going on with their network that caused commands to fail, but you're still getting side-eye for engaging in telemetry/usage tracking.

Meanwhile I usually have 1000-2000 tabs open in Firefox and it doesn't slow down at all, while Chrome made the whole system slow down to a concerning degree with less than 100 tabs.
I don't really see the downside. The providers seem pretty similar, and I can have more than one tab open on my browser.

But thanks for the explanation; I don't feel it myself but it's good to know!
I think we need to stop comparing Uber to Lyft. To me, this is more of a Lyft problem as Uber has diversified way more.
> Now, that was a wild bet for sure, but not a bad one for humanity to have tried.

I think there is a very literal and material sense in which it was a quite bad bet for us to have tried. How many tens thousands of people skipped medical procedures, lost birthdays and holidays with loved ones, and didn't live as well as they could have because of these companies' cynical abuse of their labor?
Maven is widely used with Java projects. It was never a general purpose make alternative.
Depends on a few things:

1. what that particular filter filters out: ppm, mold, chemicals
2. What is in the air being filtered
3. How sensitive you are to the things in your air
4. How often the rooms air gets filtered through the filter
5. How effective the filter is

I worked in Beijing for a while and going somewhere with filtered air literally felt like a weight was removed some days.
This is really the most comprehensive write-up of nuclear fusion R & D I've ever come across. However, the conclusions aren't that hopeful for the notion of nuclear fusion as a useful energy source anytime soon. On the technological scale, it seems closer to the likelihood of terraforming Venus, rather than the much more feasible notion of colonizing Mars.

Basically it seems like the ICF method is more effective and as an experimental system, uses much less tritium, but using it to drive a power production system (converting heat to electric power) is much more difficult than with the MCF system, if even possible. The MCF system on the other hand seems nowhere near reaching breakeven.

Three different flavors of big bet. Meta realizing their core business, while massive, has peaked, loudly reorienting their business around a dubious moonshot bet.

Google burning cash in a moonshot division, dubiously betting that creating startups within Google is easier than outside of it.

Uber/Lyft subsidizing customers for a long while to take over the market, which... pretty much worked? Of the three "big bets" this seems most promising. Even if the market decreases, it's not going away, nor is it going back to regional taxi companies.

This was always the idea. I remember Jason Calacanis saying on This Week In Startups months ago that Uber is in growth mode, eventually when push comes to shove they'll increase the price to get to profitability and have the market share to stick it out.
> but not a bad bet

What was good about it? They could have worked with existing taxi companies to sell their technology to create a better market, that would have been a good bet. Betting on making everything worse and hoping to profit from it was a horrible bet.

If they continue what they are doing, I can't wait for them to crash and burn.

Fuck the "Gig economy".
