I don't know much about wood in respect to drying/moisture, but I remember reading about the "enertia" house where they used wood with a certain resin that would phase change around room temperature to be comfortable naturally.

I wonder if this is green wood

Where would one find these types of contracts?
Facebook’s metaverse is just marketing. It’s akin to AOL commercials implying that AOL is the whole internet. What meta is providing is a gateway to the metaverse and maybe a portion of it called Horizon. The metaverse is built on the internet. No single entity can own or control all of it despite what any marketing implies. (Ready Player One is fantasy masquerading as sci-fi imo)
Yeah, but that is irrelevant to the idea of mortgage increasing as a percent of income. No high earners are getting pay cuts.
Do you mean rubber reversion?

That's a simple thing to just not do and is a lame excuse.

If you're doing browser fingerprinting and get called out for it, you're the one full of malarkey. Building a web app does not require being shady, just as building a native app does not require one to do nefarious things. The devs* in either scenario choose to do it.

*Devs meaning whoever is behind it whether it is corpOverloards or shaddy devs, a dev somewhere obliged the overloards wishes.
I don't use a catch-all domain, but do use custom tagging. I started-out tagging email with the '+' character, but a lot of places just reject that character; so I started using '0' instead. If you're running your own domain and use postfix, it's not difficult to setup a user-regex which will reject any email without a valid user prefix e.g. Joe0anything@mydomain.com works, but mailbot@mydomain.com is rejected. I've been using this for about ten years now and have had to blacklist about 50 email addresses. I agree it's awkward when you're telling a store clerk or phone support person your email address, but I've found that they either think it's funny or just don't care enough to even comment.
On further reflection, you're right, I'm conflating it.

My correction is still valid though. You're not handling step ten properly. You didn't work over the information sets, didn't solve the actual graph that is the game, didn't handle the under-specified policy function.

To try and show you that your solution isn't the actual solution: well, both options have the same EV. So I choose switch every time, because why not. As you are no doubt aware I never get to have EV because I'm constantly swapping. The sixty is a mirage. For my policy choice, the answer was undefined or zero depending on how you write it down. But you told me they had the same EV. So if they did, why did my choice not produce that EV? Ergo, your solution only appears to be giving you the EV.

Think about that for a while and you'll start to realize why I honed in on specifying a recurrence relationship with the terminal keep node and why I'm so eager to escape the trap of their flawed problem model.
It was only a handful of weeks ago that Elon saved himself 140+ million dollars by flagrantly violating securities laws. This has been discussed endlessly as part of the Twitter news.
the constant ad hom against him is especially pernicious because it distracts from substantive critique of the company and related social phenomena
I’ve been a C# developer since the beta. I started off mostly WinForms, then moved along to asp.net, then MVC, now Blazor. I don’t have anything specific to say. It’s a perfectly reasonable language, standard library, community, etc. I have never been frustrated by it, and have enjoyed 15+ years of continual improvements. I think knowing what your specific questions are would be helpful.
A patent is a monopoly on the patented invention, for the lifetime of the patent.

The title of the article is a bit misleading since it seems to imply (to me at least) that Dimon is blaming the Fed for doing something unreasonable. But in the article he actually says that the Fed (and other central banks) have to do this as the current best course of action:

> Central banks “don’t have a choice because there’s too much liquidity in the system,” Dimon said, referring to the tightening actions. “They have to remove some of the liquidity to stop the speculation, reduce home prices and stuff like that.”

edit: also OP left "and Ukraine war" out of the title...
I feel like half of HN has taken crazy pills with crypto.

Cryptocurrency has been a energy wasting, grift enabling nightmare. It will (and already has) go in the history books as an example of the biggest Ponzi scheme amplified in the social media era.

I can’t wait until the world moves on. Until then I hope you all enjoy expensive ape jpegs.
You don't get it. I didn't start the conversation. You requested my help but can't be bothered to maintain a smooth conversation. If you take two hours to reply to a request you initiated yourself, that's not a problem for me, more like a solution.

But the idea of freedom is quite good. And freedom to become wealthy is part of that concept.

It can be both an admirable bet and the failure the OP describes. In fact I think the fact that it's a big hairy audacious risky shot is why OP may prove correct and it's discussed in MBA programs for the next 100 years.
This can probably be chalked up to youre-doing-it-wrong (sorry) but not knowing your precise scenario, it's hard to know what went wrong. Maybe really old versions misbehaved (only started a few years ago and its been smooth sailing), but I've never seen your problem on any of our stuff and we have dozens of different services on a bunch of languages/frameworks, and none of them just give up for no reason ( though a lot often die for predictable and self-induced reasons).

I think there was some jank on AWS CNI drivers at one point that delayed pod init, but that's probably the most wtf that I've personally bumped into thankfully.
The US has an interest in keeping down (international) competition though. When Huawei started becoming competitive and/or better than Qualcomm, Ericsson, and all the other 5G players, the US sanctioned them to death. Europe is basically an American client state so for geopolitical purposes they're not really any different from Qualcomm.
It is a well known open secret in the newspaper industry that if you want to make sure they use a bad photo of you, just be a jerk to one of the journalists. They talk to the photographers.
> IME great literature has to connect at an emotional level.

No. It's has to be more than that. Otherwise, every formulaic romance novel would qualify as great literature. Great literature has to have it all, but most importantly, it has to advance language/thought/culture. It's what separates the bible, shakespeare's works, etc from dostoevksy. Dostoevksy's works are entertaining. But they certainly aren't great.
Somewhat tangentially, for those who are curious, Vannevar Bush was influential beyond his invention of the memex. As head of OSRD, he helped initiate the Manhattan Project and the National Science Foundation. Previously at MIT, he mentored one of his grad students, a guy you might have heard of named Claude Shannon. It's hard to think of a modern equivalent to someone so pivotal.
Thank you for pointing this out! I couldn’t make it to the end. I tried several times but found it unbearable for the stated reasons.
OK, educate us. What evidence have to drawn from your experience as a manager to draw such a firm conclusion?

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE

Need help with migrating to next.js?
Looking for a React developer who would be productive from day 1?

Hi. I'm looking for full-time remote roles in a well-funded stable company (I will work in the company's core office hours. 0 issues with timezones. Been working remotely before covid)

Building websites since 2016, working with React since 2018 and have 2 years of production next.js experience

Super comfortable with Next.js, React, Redux (with sagas), tailwind, material ui, styled-components, SEO schemas, AMP, MERN, scalable deployment on GCP/AWS/Vercel, incremental migration and parallel deployment (WordPress blogs, new next.js code and old code working on the same domain)

I value web performance (web vitals) and accessibility and could create high conversion dynamic pages

> As an example, from the sounds of these e-mails Tesla has their factory workers working longer than 40 hours a week, which is well established to decrease overall productivity.

Productivity is very context dependent - if your job is working on a production line often your productivity is fairly fixed - you have x seconds to do y task while the car moves by. If you do it faster, the next car isn’t coming down the line any faster. You aren’t allowed to do it slower.

A 42 hour average week on a 4 on 4 off shift is a pretty standard working arrangement for a factory. Also factory workers are paid hourly, so often offering fewer hours for a blue collar job isn’t seen as a bonus as it is for a salaried position.

What shift pattern and hours would you propose instead that provides 24/7 cover and will be attractive to frontline workers? (12 hour days with 4 on and 4 off is often seen as the dream in factories that don’t have it!)
Seems perfectly cromulent too me.
> In fact I wonder whether they plan to cover type checking at all. The "legality rules" section doesn't seem to think it's worth mentioning that a call which doesn't type-check isn't legal.

This might be part of the ‘argument operands’ spec and it is assumed that the function call is passed legal values.

I’ve read a few language specs and don’t remember any specifically mentioning the means with which the implementation is required to type check values — could be completely wrong and just don’t remember so take that as you will.

Is that even a hard requirement or just something nice the compiler does to make life easier? For example, C was designed to be taken straight “off the wire” and compiled in a single stage with only keeping a symbol table around for bookkeeping. Sure, you can type check as you go but do you really have to?
All anecdotes are pointless.

You can't extrapolate your opinion to the behaviours of a billion plus people.
> And there's no analogy to an Indy car driver in software, every distributed system is self-driving.

You typically build systems to sell a product. The driver is the customer that uses the app. You build the app to be as simple as possible to effectively operate while providing the best possible outcome for that customer. The driver doesn't care or need to know how the engine or the rest of the car works, just that the engine and car works well.
I remember helping my little sister who got entity resolution (people’s names and company names) homework assignment for programming class 26 years ago (she is economics major and I am CS). That was infuriating and intellectually challenging at the same time. We came up with a combination of n-grams, Levenshtein distance, and common abbreviation (think “Inc.” and “Corp.”) canonicalization. It worked reasonably well.
You'd think anyone competent in tech would instantly recognise that for what it was. Using an email like that for a specific purpose shouldn't be that uncommon. And they should recognise that it was an internal address. Crazy.
Your link points to an argument for mask INeffectiveness.

There is a comment that there's another way to look at the data that might show mask effectiveness, but the relevant analysis wasn't done.
Cmon, did you see his idiotic "build" for ER? I find it extremely difficult to believe he beat the game with that build, because ER is extremely difficult. Moreover it's a 150+ hour game and I just don't think Musk has time for that shit. He probably just heard through the grapevine of his companies that it's a phenomenal game (it is), and started tweeting about it to seem in touch. It's the same thing he did with Bethesda's games, you can tell he hasn't actually played them from 5 min of the Elon Musk / Todd Howard interview.
This was a thing in ICQ back in the day, you could see what the person was typing real-time as they typed it.
It has slowly become more optional - there's a bit that's necessary near the beginning with your weak little zapper... but if you've played before it's pretty easy to rush guns quickly enough that you never really have to seriously worry about it. It becomes a non-factor really quickly... and if it were like factorio (and they could destroy portions of your base) it'd be even worse since it's so hard to figure out what little components are missing in Satisfactory.

How did you determine this? Factorio is available for Mac. How did they, and other game developers, justify the work for a Mac port?
Generally no. They have internal controls where only certain employees can access user data and they probably have to give a reason and get approval from a second person.
I used to have one of my domains configured to accept all mail, after spam filtering. The result was amusing. I had the domain in .com, and a school in the UK had the same domain name in .co.uk. So I'd get some misaddressed mail, usually at the beginning of the school term. Not that much.

One day I got a message "I am going to kill you tonight". It was from someone at the school, intended for someone else at the school. I wasn't sure what to do, especially since it was the middle of the night in the UK. Call the cops in the UK? Finally I found an emergency number on the school's web site, and ended up reaching the headmistress. She was at first annoyed at being awakened. Then she was fully awake and annoyed. Once she heard the name of the sender, she said "He's only 12". Some kid was in for a major chewing out, but the situation did not require police.

If that had happened in the US, there would be a SWAT team callout.
It sounds like you had several different contractors working on it, so what steps did you take to ensure a consistent art style?
Personally, I aspire to be as philanthropic as Bill Gates. Everything past my first billion, I shall share.
Look above you in the thread[1] for a very simple demonstration of how "EV maximization and so-called "maximin" overlap a considerable amount of the time" can be false.

I am not really clear on what background you could have such a background but be unable to generate this fact, Wikipedia seems to suggest it strongly when it points out that "In non-zero-sum games, this is not generally the same as minimizing the opponent's maximum gain, nor the same as the Nash equilibrium strategy" [2].

This isn't a personal attack, but you really could have got this one solved by looking at either the thread or Wikipedia, but chose to assign someone else research homework instead. If you're curious, check! It's really fun and you learn a lot.

> One of the reasons for text based chat/messenger apps, going all the way back to the earliest days of IRC, is the benefit in having asynchronous communications.

On the contrary, the main advantage of chat protocols over e-mail is ability to handle synchronous communication. If i got by with asynchronous communication, i would stick with e-mail.

Email: matthew@mastracci.com

Ideal roles: firmware/low-level, high-traffic, large-scale backend service work (working w/large data sets that need bespoke engineering), "impossible" technical challenges, writing fake code that actually works for Hollywood movies and shows

I've done everything up and down the stack from low-level assembly up to massive web-scale work. Most recently I was a director of engineering at FullStory, focused on a mobile analytics product that I built from zero, wrote patents for, and hired up a team to take over. I'm looking more at low-level work right now at a small company with good culture.

I'm also happy to discuss any other interesting opportunities, especially if they come with difficult and interesting problems.
Just curious, why does this benchmark not include D language? I remember seeing it a few years ago. Was it removed recently?
> Your unconscious bias is showing by the fact that you think this professor is a woman.

I’m wondering if you had posted the same sentence if I had used a male pronoun and which pronoun I should have used instead to not provoke an off-topic comment but at the same time not promote the idea that a professor must be male. ‚They‘ did not seem to be a good choice either.
Why should I use your tool and not Joplin?
Jokes on you! The Bluetooth in my car has stopped working and the dealer wants 3000 to replace it :(
I suspect famous means famous in their time.

We know some of them just from pure output (think Charles Dickens) - but think of all the contemporaries of Cervantes we don’t know - the very people he was making fun of with Don Quixote.
I don't live in PDX--I'm in Bend, so it's different.

I voted for decriminalization because the existing expensive system didn't work and was actively harmful in many ways.

You're saying that it kinda worked before, and you're seeing some things that are worse now. I don't disagree. But I think we can fix those things.

I feel that what we had before was a local maximum. We have to take a step down to get to a better place. (Well, we probably didn't _have_ to take a step down, but just taking a first step is politically difficult, let alone getting a complete solution in place.)

But I was under no illusion that this was going to be a magical cure-all right away. I think in some ways things are better already, and in some ways they are worse. But this is just the first step in a long process of fixing this mess.

If I said we should put alcoholics in jail for possession of a beer, most people would rightly look at me like I were mad. But we live in a world where we do exactly this with drug addicts. And for the last 50 years we've had Al Capone wannabes all over the place... It's just not working. We fixed this before. We can fix it again.

As for the right to take drugs, well, we can get philosophical fast. But practically speaking, people _did_ take drugs and they were easy to get. Their "right" to take drugs wasn't a factor.

So if there's a problem with addicts on the streets, copy a program that's had success. (We used to put them in jail, but there were always addicts on the streets--jail didn't do anything.) If there's a problem with gang crime, remove their motivation and their sources of funding.

Under the War on Drugs, Americans demanded drugs in gigantic quantities. What is the right way to handle this demand?
Williams was not an unknown: his epistolatory novel Augustus won a National Book Award. I read Stoner in the late 1970s, before it went out of print for some time.

I found the novel's revival interesting. For a negative view, I think that Elaine Showalter mostly plays fair in https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/classic-s... .
If by "normal" you mean corporate chatbots everywhere.
Just wanted to throw another voice in the camp of disliking WFH and reassuring you you are not in the minority. We'll maybe we are now, but the tide will turn once promotions start going to those showing their face around the office.

I wouldn't go back to remote working if you doubled my salary
So in this dystopian future, the OP had to deal with shitty customer service from a discount publisher for a while and then went with a competitor as a result? And the competitor was still able to distribute copies via Amazon?

I'm just not seeing anything remotely like censorship here.
That philosophy right there is why nothing changes. I'm pointing out the problem square in the face and you choose to ignore it for a fantasy. Address the merits, don't strawman.

I can infact get a government paycheck and also criticize it, knowing where it comes from and how it's obtained. Infact that makes me one of the most knowledgeable people on it.
> There’s yet another problem: the sheer volume of texts. When it comes to Indian and Buddhist traditions, for example, the number of ancient manuscripts that have survived but are yet to be studied has been estimated at around 10m, though Friedrich says he has seen estimates as high as 30m. There simply aren’t enough scholars with the right expertise, including the necessary language skills, to do the work.

I was worried a lot about this during my PhD. Well-cited papers were just the "tip of the iceberg". I did some fairly thorough searches and came across quite a few papers in my field that were important in my view and unfortunately overlooked.

The problem doesn't seem intractable to me. More researchers should spend some time searching the literature where they think no one else did. If a certain percentage of people did this, then I think it would benefit everyone including those who don't do particularly deep searches.
> I'd rather have a code generator that builds a simple Go microservice and use protobuf JS in my front end.

You might, but there's something to be said for consistency within an org. GraphQL is powerful and there's many a use case for querying data via a simple GraphQL API in the frontend. You could have just stated you have a bias against use of GraphQL without the need for multiple data sources, and left out the rest of the FUD.

Projects like Postgraphile, Hasura, AppSync, and Supabase's pg-graphql aren't popular because people are lazy or are out there in droves implementing APIs laden with antipatterns. They're popular because they're useful and powerful. And for many companies that funnel all of their data into single stores like Postgres or other relational databases, these kinds of tools are invaluable.
Any plans for a Linux build?

Made the mistake of watching the trailer before looking if I can even run it. One of the best trailers I've seen on Steam! They're usually only about backstory with concept art and zero idea about what the game will actually be like to play. This could still have shown more UI, but at least the game itself was there the whole time and I feel like I have a good idea whether I'd like it :)
