Jane street had a puzzle related to this, called eldrow [1], a few months ago.

The gist is you’re trying to find the worst sequence of (hard mode) guesses possible for any word in the wordle set.

Their site shows submissions of up to 16 words and claims 17 is impossible [2]. I’ve been trying to do the same, but have yet to cut the search space enough[3].

Ex: calculating the worst chain for jazzy (with a 1000 word subset of the full word list) took an m1 core 1 hour and resulted in the ten-word chain:

civic, buggy, woody, array, leaky, mammy, fanny, happy, tasty, jazzy

Yes many do, but still it's completely wrong. Lower taxes never get fully passed through to the customer.

"The markets" make sure that parts of the money remains as higher prices.

The high prices have made Russian oil income grow, not shrink since 24-Feb. (That's not the fault of any tax reductions, but tax reductions will increase consumption which will certainly not help the problem.)

Studies show that students didn't learn almost at all during covid (1). Understandable that remote learning likely isn't good in general and that teachers were not trained to teach in this setting but parents might have realized their children were not learning at all and fair or not placed this blame on the teachers.

Yeah, I agree it's totally valid to want to avoid the AI ban hammer. I find myself doing it too - e.g. paying cash at stores I would normally never go to, for fear Mastercard thinks it's fraud. I was just saying that it's an egregious enough error that in your shoes I'd be a lot more upset with CF.

Getting a new product into a grocery chain also often involves expenses beyond buying shelf space like paying fees setting up sample tables.

There are some beloved brands that can get away with not paying to play. In Canada Hawkins Cheezies made it a badge of honour that it was usually on the bottom shelf at gas stations because they had a policy of not paying for shelf placement.
>The buyer is typically a VP, a director, possibly C suite, depending on what you’re selling

If a company has VPs buying things surely they have some sort of internal vendor management that usually involves accounting/legal/compliance reviews. Being enterprise ready means you have the roles/documentation/process/procedure to answer those questions
Thanks for the feedback! We're planning to extend our notifications system model to let you specify a configurable policy for which topics one wants notifications for.

This is a common theory, but if you look at the math of the rocket equation, a very large percentage is for pure horizontal velocity, with a small percentage of gravity losses for getting from the surface to the orbital altitude, an even smaller percentage are losses due to aerodynamic drag.

I haven't done the math, but in general, the benefit of something like stratolaunch is much less than you'd expect

Seedship – A Game by John Ayliff
Quoth the Raven - 404

Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious
volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.

`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered,
`tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ask HN: Has anyone built a Spotify controller?
I currently have speakers hooked up to an Echo Dot which I control via Spotify Connect from my phone/laptop etc.

It’s fine but I was wondering if anyone has ever set up a ‘permanent’ Spotify controller (eg a tablet set up only to Spotify or similar), rather than always using a multi-app device like a phone to control music?
We have a use case for wide columnar data, used for mostly performance analytics. There are many types of events that share same columns, but mostly total unique columns are 20x of a typical events columns. My use case is filtering by some boolean logic and aggregating them. I use Elasticsearch with a mapping that does not tokenize text fields, (all strings are keyword type) and it works very well. I can add nodes as I want and adjust shards with ease with spot instances and make it cost effective.

I have not found a way/tool to replace this. Many of the tools fail at dynamic data with cardinality. Wanted to use Clickhouse like this, adding columns as they are discovered but it did not go well, but it has been a while. Also adding replicas is not as easy as Elasticsearch.

Does anyone have a similar use case implemented with Clickhouse when data is not known before hand and unfolds as time goes by?

I'm working on a project where the backend devs decided to use Cassandra to manage a few hundred entities. Due to different access modes they had to denormalize the data into multiple tables and we're constantly running into consistency issues. A fucking sqlite db with a few tables and indexes would do just fine. Also, the tool has maybe a dozen DAUs. But it's web scale, so, yeah…
I mean, I hear yah, and again I'm glad you don't do that. It's real nice to talk with someone with ethics like that. But I have seen it happen. You can google it if you want. It happens.

The reason that there are plenty of rocket first stages and basically no air-breathing first stages that go to orbit is that, essentially, this isn't true. OSC Pegasus and Virgin LauncherOne are the only exceptions, and both are only good for very tiny payloads and accordingly have very limited flight numbers- compare the less than 50 total across both launchers to the 150 for just the already retired Delta II rocket (which entered service at basically the same time as Pegasus, is why I chose it). The only real use case that I can see for air launch is that they can be fully launch azimuth independent for launches from within US territory, so there can be some sort of responsive launch capability (read: military wants to launch something immediately). Other than that one use case, it's hard to see what air-breathing engines bring to the table for space-flight.

Payload size is clearly a massive problem because airplanes are so volume limited. But there is another issue here: heating. In order for an air-breathing engine to provide useful thrust, you have to have enough air for it to breathe. That pretty much requires you to now have to deal with aerodynamic heating, which is a thing that most rockets try very very hard to ignore on launch.

The most prominent air-breathing to orbit attempt going right now, Skylon, seems to be viewed generally pretty skeptically by most people in the space community, from what I can tell. And even then, the log-line is different: instead of separate jet engines and rocket engines, the idea is to have a rocket engine that can make a mediocre jet engine for some portion of the flight. Most people outside RE don't think this idea will work very well (I recall people who ran the numbers pointing out that HOTOL- the program that Skylon grew out of- would actually have significantly more payload if it had just rocket engines) but Bond and co. continue on, with very small budgets, the sort of budgets suitable for long-shot technology development. Thus, it appears that the people who control the purse strings generally agree that this has a low chance of working out, even if it is worth trying.
It's the extra CO2 in the air that makes the nutritional value decline. Plants grow larger with more CO2, but the nutritional content stays the same.

Really? You have a 5120x2880 monitor that macOS is messing up? I've never heard that before. Talk to LG, there's got to be something wrong with it.

>Auto-updates can be turned off on Windows as well. I still get updates I didn't expect on macOS, often when I've told it explicitly not to do so (like when you get the notification requesting it).

Not Apple's fault that you don't know what you're doing. I've turned off auto-updates and nothing updates unless I tell it to. There are some apps that auto-update on their own, like Chrome and Firefox. But they do that on Windows too.

> Regarding the headphones, it's a common issue. In our case, it was done when the Bluetooth headphones (a model sold in Apple stores!) simply connected, as another commenter mentioned.

Basically the headphones that do that send a play command when they connect. Apple will auto-start iTunes/Apple Music when nothing is loaded and play is hit. Yeah, that's annoying. I wish Apple didn't program iTunes that way, but that is entirely the fault of the headphones. That's why bluetooth headphones today don't do that.
Interesting. Are you in STEM or some other field? As an outsider I'm curious if this is specific to some fields or the same across academia
And another one - google search any time series graphs such as stock price, currency convertion etc. Works so far on FF. Click any of the non-default resolution (5D, 1M, 6M) and you'll get a "No chart available" on FF.
That's not entirely the individual's fault. With many (or most) academic fields, leaving academia for industry is seen as failing, and leaving the institution means leaving the network.
We feel more awkwardness in audio calls than video calls and more awk in video calls than physical meetings because at each medium we're losing important contextual cues that act as lubricants to our conversation.

A gentle "slap on knee" while sitting can signal to the other person that you're ready to leave the conversation.

Starring elsewhere while listening can be a sign of "thinking" or "distraction" depending on how your eyes are moving.

In a text-dominant world, where all of these contextual cues are lacking, we tend to interpret people's messages in the most negative way possible. (Snapchat solves this w/ images, teens abuse emojis to solve this, voice msg are becoming more of a thing)

I do think we can incorporate a large chunk of these contextual cues digitally to make digital interactions smoother! Even without VR.

You're arguing against a strawman. Nobody is saying that everyone needs to live in SF. The argument is simply that developers should be allowed to supply housing that meets demand. The fact is that lots of people do want to live in cities, for various reasons; but they can't, because building dense housing is illegal or heavily disincentivized.

If you want to live in semi-rural America that's great, I prefer a similar situation for myself. I fail to see what that has to do with allowing or disallowing density in cities. In fact allowing density in cities preserves rural and natural areas outside of cities, so that seeing cows and hiking in forests is available for those who want it. Feels like a win-win.
There are three words that match - FOCAL, VOCAL, LOCAL - but of course you can't use 'V' in position one again, so that's a bug.

I agree that blame is misplaced on the executive branch, but simply saying "oil companies are price gouging" is too simplistic for me to take seriously. EU has placed major sanctions on Russia, which historically has been the largest oil import source. Supply has gone and will go down tremendously. To suggest oil companies are artificially colluding to price gouge together would take more than "just look at their profits". I'm definitely open to seeing more serious investigation.

ETL: Clickhouse can probably directly read any format or data source you have.

Quality: A diligent human like anywhere.

Data Modeling: I disagree, what do you think it is missing? I’ve never encountered anything I couldn’t achieve, and the Clickhouse specific aggregates, lambda support, and array functionality really simplifies many problems.

Permissioning: It has very granular permissions.
Informative, but the conclusion is a bit out there. Restricting supply to increase demand will only go so far. What happens when the prices are so high no one will buy? What happens when demand plummets because only EVs are sold? At some point, ICE gets pushed out of the consumer market. When consumers no longer need gas, gas prices will indeed plummet.
It’s difficult for me to feel bad for these institutions. They jacked up tuitions and caused an entire generation of people to carry lifetime of crippling debt.
> I believe in equal opportunity but to not enforce equal outcomes for people.

People always say this, but they don't account for how unequitable outcomes of the past have influenced the unequitable opportunities of the present.

For example, we can't hand-wave away the impact that the denial of equal opportunity for home ownership has had on African Americans. It accounts for a huge portion of the black/white wealth gap:

https://www.brookings.edu/essay/homeownership-racial-segrega...

Believing in equality of opportunity vs outcome is a nice sentiment, but without a significant redistribution of resources to actually make it start happening instead of the status quo (massive inequality of opportunity), it's just highlighting and not acting on the perfect while avoiding acting on the imperfect, but good.

I'm in academia in London at the moment and this really struck true. All the senior staff bought their houses for pennies 30 years ago which are now worth millions, and don't seem to understand why the more junior staff are so worked up about salaries.
