Or more importantly, IPC mechanisms like mutexes. If they're in shared memory, you now have two problems. The runtime of a very very popular scripting languages does this.
Due to time, yes.. think about all the life and death / evolutionary filtering that tailored lifeforms up to mammals. Computers have seen no such process, they're external artefact from our needs, maybe "entities" in a market of goods but a thin form of survival and a thin span of time.
If you think so, then please tell me the name of one efficiently-run government organization?

Why is government judged on efficiency rather than service?

If there's a government agency with money to give to vision impaired people, and they set up a website (graphics heavy, non-ADA compliant of course) as the only way to sign up for the payments, that department would be extremely efficient - they might only be able to reach a fraction of their target market, but they'd do so very efficiently with little overhead and they'd even have money left over since they had so few applicants, so they could cut the budget next year!

In contrast, if that same agency took $100M of their fund to set up offices across the country, and hire outreach staff to drive to the homes of qualified applicants to help them apply, that wouldn't be very efficient, but it would provide better service.

Government is not a business and shouldn't be run like one.
Hi dolmen!

In the "Implementation Details" section at the bottom of the README I actually explain why I only display 4 curves instead of 10, and you can change the speed of the animation and pause it using the "Playback Speed" slider. If you set it to 0, the animation will pause.

Thanks for your suggestions about being able to select joints and displaying titles. I hope to improve things in the future!

Plan 9 and Inferno (and, based on their compiler toolchain, also Golang) use a form of an abstract assembler/intermediate representation which delegates actual code generation and optimization to the linker.

The re-releases of Doom do use the original Doom, alongside Unity. Here's where we get into Theseus' ship: the game logic engine itself is still original Doom's, but Unity is used for the video output, sound, and input engines, allowing for easier ports because of the difference between console and phone graphic APIs and input options.

Yes, but why? Why do these people have to suffer all the time?

One reason I heard my Russian friends repeating is that "it's a bit country so we need a strong ruler to keep it together". But history shows this is not true. Also a federation of states like the USA would probably work better than the current setup where a short guy from Moscow is sending Buryat boys to die in a country they haven't seen before.

If the contents of the cookie is a JSON array of recently viewed items, then the size is correlated to whether I've been actively viewing items recently.

Adding random padding makes it harder to get a signal, but with a high enough sample size, it's still possible to get some information. If you always pad to a fixed size, then there's probably no useful information.

At the moment, I think I have enough to do, but I'll probably be looking for something new in the next few weeks. Got any novel single player video game recommendations?
Indeed!

While the article's general principle is good (that it is possible to increase your luck), all the remedies are not necessarily good.

As you point out, a large brand can also increase the opportunity for bad luck, such as an unpredictable negative social media mob reaction.

The article's items #2 and #3 (hard work and extensive knowledge) create greater opportunities for luck by putting you in a position to find a 'lucky break' or to recognize a new insight that others miss in the same data because you know more.

Yet the author focuses all of the steps on item #4, "attracting luck", and focuses on basically marketing yourself.

This can indeed bring great benefits, but it fails to recognize the opportunity costs, and potential bad timing.

I'd say that there's a time to be digging deeper on #2 & #3, hard work, increasing knowledge, and making discoveries or producing innovations, and then a time to focus on marketing. It seems that focusing too early on #4 can both impair the progress on #2 & #3 at the wrong time, and potentially establish a widespread reputation too soon, as a lightweight. Might be better to come on the scene as a heavy hitter, and become known that way, rather than try to overcome premature first impressions.
They retain that advantage. B&M retail needs all of the warehousing of Amazon, but also requires low-efficiency retail space that services a pretty narrow geographic area.

"- no business entity can have more than 150 people."

How is that supposed to work with any labor intensive process?

E.g. I work on a construction project where there are over 220 field craft workers on day shift alone. Office staff and inspectors are another 100 or so. Night shift adds yet more.

Should each of those be its own business entity?
> meanwhile he's blocking measures to increase North American oil production.

Increasing local oil production will do little - the barrel prices are not exactly high, but the price at the pump is high - why? Refining. And that's all controlled by oil companies. I wonder why? Perhaps they're just ginning for extra profit?

The jury is out for a while on whether the result was "survived" or "gave a better playbook for next time". Those on the left would tend to argue the lack of consequences thus far encourages a more competent attempt.
Unfortunate that workers have internalized the idea that they are disposable tools and not long-term assets. It wasn't that long ago that large corporations like IBM and GE prided themselves on how many people they employed, how much salary they paid and even how much in tax $ they gave to the gov't[1].

As context for readers who might not know normal dosing, the maximum therapeutic Adderall dosage in the US is 60mg per day. So what this commenter is describing is between 15x and 20x the maximum therapeutic dosage based on whether you count this as 3 or 4 days.
Well it’s not clear that anyone could have predicted the timing of this downturn. Just a few months ago people were painting a very rosy picture for the future. In that context, metering investment can have a huge opportunity cost as well.

I’m not advocating for CB - just suggesting that it’s harder to predict the future than you are implying.
my gosh this was my first real developer job back in the day, just like this. we were a so called "hit squad" and brought in to fix longstanding issues (this was a Fortune 100 company, where they had more internal software than developers to manage it, some of which was actually mission critical for the departments it served)

I learned so much in that job, and probably would have kept it had they not relocated it to Santa Clara.

If you can work in an environment like this for a few years you definitely should, that's my advice to everyone. You'll learn so many things that will be useful over the rest of your career.
You wouldn't be able to tell from the Mail, which according to the url originally headlined the story something like "San Francisco homeless man says he gets paid $620 a month."

Imagine writing a story like that, adding a dozen pictures of random homeless people looking homeless and paragraphs of copy about Biden buying people crack pipes, but not bothering to either check out the claim or to list the sources of the funds, even if only to shame them.

edit: ah, 100% based on some reactionary twitter poster who interviewed the first homeless guy he saw, and must be too lazy to follow up on anything.

Gotcha, apologies for all the questions - did you implement this for your company?

That's interesting that the reception you got was primarily against documentation inside a repo. Maybe Gitbook could've been a good compromise?

Tesla is a nice road trip car... until it isn't.

Supercharging times are OK, especially if you have kids. Sometimes it's not even enough for a proper potty+food break and you have to hurry back to the car to move it to a normal parking spot so you don't incur overtime fees.

However, I now avoid traveling in a Tesla during any major holidays. Yes, 2019 SLO fiasco was probably an exception, but I definitely didn't enjoy 3 hours in the line, waiting for the supercharger to become available... My family enjoyed it even less.
Elsewhere they mentioned that there are exceptions for "popular" SSO systems, but I have a hard time imagining any exception that would allow a shared login for Facebook comments while blocking Facebook tracking across sites. These are essentially the same mechanism.
What's good for Amazon isn't necessarily good for the rest of us. Maybe that land they are going to build a warehouse on should be reserved for agriculture or reforested.
I'm the complete opposite. Hand me a new JS framework that does the same thing I've done a million times but have to learn it's opinionated abstraction set that's somehow better and I just turn off. I simply do not care, at all. You need to simply explain to me the improvement you're proposing or it might as well be trash to me.

Now give me a new theoretical concept where I can expand my knowledge or integrate into my knowledge map and view of the world and I'm excited, there aren't enough hours in the day. Tell me about this all new concept I wasn't familiar with--I'll start thinking of ways I can use it, how I can leverage it, or how it may connect with other ideas and concepts I have.

Now give me a tight deadline which most business environments create and I agree with you, give me the boring stuff I can pump out, get my paycheck and go home to enjoy the rest of my day.
I think the parent's statement was descriptive, not normative. The writing was on the wall when unions became scarce and "at-will employment" became the norm.

The fact that things shouldn't be like this doesn't change the fact that they are like this.

I can't answer that. I know the basic statistics, as it was not long ago a question my wife and I sought out the answers to, but I don't know anything deeper about medical policies.

I suspect that answer is probably some version of no. Aren't most abortions just induced miscarriages anyway?

Texas politicians are notoriously anti renewables, going so far as to blatantly lie about them being the cause of last year’s early spring grid failure. Therefore Brandolini’s Law applies, and extra effort has to go into refuting these bad faith distortions by malicious actors.

> we have to have the headline "Smart, clean democrat power is 'bailing out' stupid Republican power", which is obviously how this headline was meant to be read, even though it makes no sense.

Makes perfect sense, because Republicans have made clean energy a political issue. It shouldn’t be! Clean energy is also cheap energy, but doesn’t have oil and gas money behind it, so, you know, out come the lies out of desperation.

Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. It states that "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it.”

> This means that, on modern processors, the same program can run at a different CPU frequency (and therefore take a different wall time) when computing, for example, 2022 + 23823 compared to 2022 + 24436.

I'm not a hardware expert, and I was a bit surprised at this.

Is that because the transistors heat up more with certain input values, which then results in a lower frequency when the CPU gets hot enough? Something like AND(1,1) using more energy than AND(1,0) on the transistor level?

As far as I can tell [1], addition typically takes a constant number of cycles on x86 CPUs at least, so any difference should happen at a very low level.

Yeah, for sure. I would imagine for those that have learned to live with it, the side effects won't be worth the benefits.
I don't think so. I don't have a horse in this race and have read many sources on this conflict and it sort of results in a very grey picture here that isn't anything like what some popular news stations want to make it out to be. I think there's a lot of nuance here and isn't so black and white.
Ask HN: Simple video editor for instructional videos
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but what does the HN community use as a simple and barebones but functional video editor for producing instructional videos. Free / open-source is preferable but I'm OK with a paid solution.

I don't need, for example, color correction or motion tracking, but need to be able to cut / splice video clips, replace and add audio, and add some simple text (with font control) and transitions. And hopefully not tax my CPU (and practically non-existent GPU) too much while working on it.

I've used DaVinci Resolve for personal projects and it's amazingly fully featured, but too much for a simple instructional video, but it really taxes my laptop CPU (and I don't want to get a gaming machine to run DaVinci more efficiently.)

On the other hand we have Windows' built-in video editor which is basically too simple to do anything productive in.
Ukraine is currently getting hammered by Russian artillery in Donbas, and suffering 100+ dead soldiers per day (as reportedly is Russia). They will only win with large amounts of ongoing foreign military and economic aid from committed partners.

Why would they try to go to Moscow? They don’t have the logistical capacity to pull it off and it would be in nobody’s interest. Unlike Russia they don’t seem to be ruled by crazy people.

More realistically Ukraine will lose a bit more ground and a few more towns in Donbas before the Russian offensive culminates, and then as more supplies come in they will eventually counter-attack when they get a chance. The Russian military will run out of soldiers and equipment while the Russian economy sputters, and will be slowly pushed out of Ukrainian territory. What happens as a result to domestic policy in Russia will be highly volatile and is hard to predict.
Propaganda and fear mongering in Poland is so high that news are meaningless. The current political topic is that Germany would support Russia if Russia invaded Poland and would split it between. This is not a fringe thing it is a political topic of the day! In the mean time the current president looks like a Zeleski's bro, and PiS supporters chant for Jarek the same way you would chant for Putin.

Yes you hear Ukrainian/Russian in the street, but I am not sure you hear much gratitude. I certainly do not and I also live and travel in the country. I actually know of families hosting for 2 months and the people they hosted left in one day and never said anything back. Others had everything set here, like employment housing etc but went back to Ukraine or to Germany. The ones who went to Germany regret it as they are not pampered like in Poland. Hell even in euro vision song contest the polish got the taste of Ukrainian gratitude for the polish unconditional solidarity.

There are grateful Ukrainians but those already were in Poland got their life's easier now thankfully. The refugees could not care less about Poland. Actually historically the Ukrainians and Poles haves as bad blood as with the Russians or Germans.

As a foreigner what i see Poland needs, is to continue to get stronger economically so it can support a very advanced armed forces that could wipe the floor with the Russians. Poland needs to be needed and that is achieved by being an economic powerhouse on which the great powers depend. In the past Poland was left alone because it was not worth the trouble. Look at Taiwan, they sure know how to make themselves worth the trouble. The "honor" thing in polish culture is so self destructive: Throw everything away for honor. Let's keep growing and stronger, it will not be long before Russia is a nuisance.

The goal is to survive and to win, not to go down in history with honor.

A wealth tax scenario, like all taxes in real life, will have its share of exceptions, carve-outs, and loopholes. Meaning the wealth assessment process will inevitably be far more involved than "a weird little cult offered a billion dollars for it."

Now, from a parable perspective, does the post mirror the principle of how wealth taxes work? Maybe, if you're willing to equate the entire market (or whatever communal entity we're using for the basis of assessment) to a weird little cult.
Free with a season ticket is a really cool spin.
It’s easy to prove me wrong: point me to the relevant lines in the relevant treaties or conventions that state this.

You can’t because they don’t exist. There is no obligation to seek asylum in the “first safe country.” This is a common trope trotted out by right-wing mouthpieces which is where I’m assuming you got the rest of your “facts.”
Yes, or your company will have to invest in automation. Both alternatives are good.

Third option, we stop working on such large projects, and focus our collective efforts on making our societies and our environments more human-scaled. Again, it is an option that I see as good.
Consider that you can find online compilers and interpreters for many languages now, so in that regard, setup complexity would be zero.

for a kid, learning programming might be more compelling if filtered through something fun (just running code in a REPL isn't fun for most people.) I want to suggest Roblox because a lot of kids (like my nephew) apparently learn to code on that (in lua I believe) but I've also heard it's a bit exploitative. There is always also minecraft modding which I think uses java. Also Godot and GameMaker use simplistic programming languages.

Beyond that, I'd say either Javascript or Python, the first just because you need nothing more than a text editor, the second because of pygame.
And what about Ukraine? Why should it's sovereignty be surrendered? Why are you blaming the victim of agression they didn't surrender? When else would you apply that same logic?
In assembly language you can bypass C's calling convention and stop, for instance, moving the stack pointer around every time you call a subroutine.

"After developing a full prototype, he later showcased it to his employer, Sculptured Software, which helped him finish the development. In the interview, Linden expressed a wish that he could have added the missing levels; however, the game, already the largest possible size for a Super FX 2 game at 16 megabits, only has roughly 16 bytes of free space. Linden also added support for the Super Scope light gun device, the Super NES mouse, and the XBAND modem for multiplayer."

History teaches us that people who don't want billionaires to exist eventually start not wanting millionaires to exist.
I feel like it's the opposite - that, historically, many people (regardless of profession) always generally assumed that certain living things did not feel pain or otherwise suffer for some definition of suffering. This status quo naturally persisted into the era of science until science demonstrated it to be wrong in this case. Should they have known better, sooner? Obviously - I don't fully comprehend what could lead to such a bizarre and terrible assumption. But the problem seems to predate the age of empiricism and medical science.
Not an expert either but number of cycles is not everything, transistors that transition use up more energy than those who remain in the same state.

As such it's possible that 0x00000000 + 1 uses up significantly less energy than 0xffffffff + 1, just because of all the bit flips.

That's just a guess though.
