Replying here to the two siblings comments being confused about the decoder example.

What tialaramex is saying, is that if you have a stream of JSON values, you create a JSON decoder over it. Then every time you call the decode() method, you get the next decoded JSON value.

Then you want to process the JSON values concurrently.

Rephrased, the question was what would happen if you were to have every concurrent task call the decode() method whenever it wants a new value to work on?

It would probably be a data race cluster fuck. But you might find this type of mistakes everywhere in Go. I myself fought things like that in many libraries.

One such occurrence I recall was in the Google Cloud Pub Sub client library. It basically did something similar to this example. Trying to offer concurrency over a stream of messages. It would fail very rarely. And pretty much always passe the race detector. It wasn't fun to debug.
I would only eat at my desk while everyone else is in the breakroom. Eating near people, especially in the cramped quarters that billion-dollar startups deign to give their employees, would just be rude.
Windows 10 (at least the first version) came out seven years ago. It's not even new anymore, it's well on its way to just becoming... old?
> The current customs situation is an enormous hassle for the Northern Irish people

A majority of people in NI recently voted for parties that support the NIP, and NI and London are the only regions in the UK that are currently experiencing growth. I think it might be more opportunity than hassle.
I use the Zettelkasten method for tech notes. Even made a video on it a while back if you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbvEJvTwllk
It’s supposed be more of a quick planning meeting. But yes, I would often just say “pass”. Although really as far as I’m concerned it’s all about the ritual of coming together every day.
What actually needs to happen is a proper federated system (akin to the existing telecoms system) that is regulated in the same way worldwide. XMPP is great. It should have ended up being the new SMS in my opinion, but telcos wouldn't have been able to make money off it, so it never happened. Enter Apple with imessage. The game changed somewhat. But it still left the Android gulf.

If Apple and Google sorted things out message-wise (can't see this happening) we might get there, but then you're still left with the billions of people that have simpler phones that use whatsapp because that's all they can actually use (whatsapp became prolific because of its tiny J2ME roots on tiny cheap phones in 3rd world countries).

I guess I was trying to point out that you need to look at the bigger picture. How would you police a free service with hundreds of millions of users without a shitload of automation? How would you pick the "innocent" people out very very quickly by using a human to review, given there are probably hundreds of thousands of such requests a day? It's not an easy problem.
But a manual is fun to operate. If all you care about is transportation, take the bus.

You have confused personal preference with universal truth.

And aside from that, the difference is complexity and reliability is still a fact.

"Like it or not"
Damn man, maybe just take a break from social media? I agree with the sentiment but Twitter and Reddit aren't worth this much anger.
Appreciate it. It's not the end of the world as she wasn't using it for anything critical; she could get a new phone number, but not sure it's worth the hassle of juggling two numbers or devices just for whatsapp, nor is it worth changing her phone number for everything else. So if it's not reversed she'll probably just live with missing out on those chats.
>There are plenty of comments that do a much better job explaining why a context switch isn’t just 30 seconds in this example.

I'm a developer and 30s is how long it'd take me. There's no real context switch if you do it immediately after the PR.

>Besides if all I’m doing is taking 30 second to copy and paste something what value is that really adding?

I don't know what "consumer features" means but many commercial signage displays lack any kind of video processing, like de-interlace, pull-down, noise reduction, sharpen, etc.

not the same thing as tuning the db settings to specifically cache the whole thing in RAM and maybe even making its disk storage live on a RAM drive that's created at boot.
I'm certainly no physicist, I don't know much on the subject, but does Stephen Hawking not count? As a layman I'd group him with Einstein and Newton as the greatest scientists I know of.
Outside of pathology, the mechanism of forgetting seems pretty important: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthymesia

>Hyperthymesia, or highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), is a condition that leads people to be able to remember an abnormally large number of their life experiences in vivid detail.

>Hyperthymestic abilities can have a detrimental effect. The constant, irrepressible stream of memories has caused significant disruption to Price's life. She described her recollection as "non-stop, uncontrollable and totally exhausting" and as "a burden".[1] Price is prone to getting lost in remembering. This can make it difficult to attend to the present or future, as she is permanently living in the past. Others who have hyperthymesia do not display any of these traits, however.
Surely we have already seen, and will see again in the future people of equal or greater ability. They will just not be as memorable, their accomplishments competing for limited memory and attention with a growing pile of more foundational knowledge from past people. First mover advantage in action.
It really is insane. It’s one thing to have flaws, it’s quite another to stealth cover-them-up like it’s a game of hide and seek.
This works great for me too, and is what I use for multiple laptops. Ridiculous there isn’t something better though at this point…
I bought a high-end lenovo and the fans would turn on and the machine would get hot when it was in my bag.

But it's not Microsoft's fault. The Surface Book I replaced it with works perfectly.
It's funny. Many years ago I did work at a McDonald's, but the manager of that store refused to allow those types of posters on the walls. He said it looked bad, he wanted clean white tile and stainless steel to be what the customers saw, not a bunch of laminated posters.

He always argued with the regional manager about it during store inspections. But since this McDonald's made a lot of money, and everyone was actually preparing the food correctly, the store manager generally got his way.
Do you have a list of some of those banks? I'd love to get a 1% rate.
Yea, but you still can use feed generators from any website using https://rss.app. (friend's startup).
This.

I measured the difference using `tcpdump`, and this was my conclusion:

> A big advantage of using DNS queries instead of HTTP queries is bandwidth: querying ns-aws.sslip.io requires a mere 592 bytes spread over 2 packets; Querying https://icanhazip.com/ requires 8692 bytes spread out over 34 packets—over 14 times as much! Admittedly bandwidth usage is a bigger concern for the one hosting the service than the one using the service.

(I had set up a service to determine your IP address via DNS, i.e. `dig @ns.sslip.io txt ip.sslip.io +short`, and measured why it was (marginally) better than using HTTP)
The OP makes the point that there already is a primary key. It strikes me as the standard enterprise response to say, we can't fix your thing til we fix the whole thing, and fixing the whole thing will never happen.

My suspicion generally is that fixing small things at scale is more likely to lead to enterprise level results than trying to fix big things in a particular silo. But, it's just a feeling.
I wouldn’t call these talented.
No, what I mean is that identical twins will be more similar on measures of ACEs than non-identical twins. Of course events aren't in the genes, but the propensity to have events happen to you can very easily be in the genes. This might be surprising, but the history of behaviour genetics is basically "everything being surprisingly more heritable than people thought".

Indeed, from the article I cited: "HPA-axis function and depression are both influenced by genetic factors, which could increase the individual’s vulnerability to ACEs"; and here's an article that shows that being a victim of violent crime has heritability of around 20%: https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp.1....
Can you please share pointers to some of the podcasts etc. you listened to? Looking for something similar for non-Bio expert people.
This will work for now, but device manufacturers are working towards building out mesh networks. You may not have connected your TV to the internet, but your neighbor did, and your TV can piggy back on your neighbors connection.

The NHS app on my phone provides my basic medical records and covid records already, at a touch of a button.

Maybe what they need to do is scrap the existing disparate cancer screening databases and create a new centralised one. Like they did for covid.

I assume it’s mostly a funding/business priority issue that’s stopping them. Or maybe privacy/infighting of data ownership within the various NHS entities.
No, that’s typical software development. Find a bug in circulation, fix and deploy a fix. There are probably hundreds of internal issues that get fixed per normal protocol, as with any piece of software. Putting out a “recall” or alert for every modification to the code is pointless. What regulators need to do is keep up with the times. They need to have their own safety test suite which manufacturers can test against, and be independently audited
Plus one on this. My employer buys tens of thousands of 50-80 inch TVs a year and none of them are "smart." The supply is out there.

Do expect to pay more though.
Known him since grad school. He's a little bully (literally and figuratively). He acts all tough, until you call him out, and then he'll change the subject.
I should go back to Winamp if its still the same (best music player I ever used)... I used to to make it small and always on top and drag it on my current window's title bar next to the minimize button...
Yes, this is the part you mean, right?

so you don't just have to download a binary file and somehow set LD_PRELOAD for that user, you also have to set the SUID bit on that binary file, which by itself only root can do...
Its the polar opposite of where the web has gone since. Ads. Tracking. Dark patterns. A/B tested UX. Walled gardens.

All the things that make it clean, simple and attractive to the tech inclined are precisely the reason why it is in decline.
This is essentially Toronto. There is a fairly big delta between mortgage payments (with a reasonable downpayment) and rent. If you only care about monthly cash flow, renting is a far better option. For the last decade the wisdom has been that buying a place is a good idea, despite the cash flow delta, due to appreciation. If people no longer believe this to be true, there could be a sharp shift in the housing market. Perhaps we’re seeing the beginning of that.
>The way FAANG fixes that is to make "impact" the first metric of their engineer evaluation process. Basically, you're quite autonomous to pursue your ideas, but need to be able to justify that you contributed the project in meaningful ways.

Isn't the joke that Google as a result makes and kills tons of half baked products without producing any actual business value overall? The product lives just long enough to get people's promotions approved.
I’ve given up staying up-to-date on everything and limited myself to things I can apply or are direct alternatives to technologies I use. Things like Meta’s approach to caching on Facebook and stuff are interesting but only really relevant for less than a dozen people and I reckon a waste of time for most others. If I skip that I can mull longer on the topics relevant for me.
Most homeless people are living in hotels, with friends, or their cars (like 80%+). This should make sense as their are steps from houses to living on the streets.
Just pointing out that our popular perception of a typical homeless person is skewed
The issue is that men wearing skirts is referred to as "crossdressing". When really it should just be men wearing what they like. If a man wears a skirt, then it's a man wearing a skirt.

That's the real way forward. "crossdressing" has a stigma because the very meaning of that word comes from gendering clothing. So you need to stop using that term.
I don't see the problem with the status report, as long as it's the culture that you usually only need a sentence or two.

Imo in bigger stand-ups, there's more pressure to sort of "show off", which means talking more, and combined with having more people there already it takes forever and is really painful.

But if it's just a handful of people who work together saying a couple sentences each on average, unless they're blocked or something interesting happened, it's fine.
It's expensive, but if you get an AppleTV with the new remotes you can control the power/volume from that. Get any TV you like and never set it up, switch it to an HDMI input, and put the remote in a drawer.

You could also do the same with FireTV, Chrome, or Roku, but those all have ads.
Also, I can speak 10 languages fluently... in the sense that nobody has the power to stop me from learning 9 more languages if I should decide to do that.
Did you turn off "powernap" in settings? By default, a mac would wake up to download mail, run backups, and do other things in the middle of the night.
> But why have prices soared in just a few years while the population barely grew?

No one is selling; supply (active listings) is way down over the last few years, and the buyers (the ones that actually get to complete a transaction, given the few units on the market) are the relatively price insensitive, so market clearing prices are way up.

Click through any of the state listings and check the charts:

It was fantastic for the readers, but it did not have a sustainable businessmodel for the producers. Not enough eyeballs on the actual add stuffed sites when you can just grab the content straight.

So Google set out to absolutely dominate the the RSS client space with their free Reader. They succeeded, then just terminated the product. And that was for many the end of the line.
> Why can't we have a consumer organization that protects us from having to buy stuff that we don't want

Because of too much money from corporations in politics
99% of everything is speculation at best, even this site is pretty much (high value) speculation as a service.

The NHTSA has a reputation of not f*king around so I would definitely side with @dangrossman on this thing.

As of today, Autopilot IS dangerous software and it is not something that should be tested live on the streets.
GitHub code search is in closed beta right now. You have to request an invite to get access to actual text search.
Because “drivers space out when using a system that removes the stimulus of driving that keeps them alert” is not solely the fault of the individual when it’s not possible in real world scenarios to use it safely.
> I’m a fan of the support cycle of macOS.

Their what? They have no support cycle. Their cycle is "we support it until we don't". It's 2022 and it's an absolute joke. Windows, Linux, BSD -- basically everyone -- has published support dates aligned with all OS releases. For example from official documentation you would know that Windows 10 LTSC 2021 is supported until 1/12/2027[1] and FreeBSD 13 is supported until 1/31/2026. Apple is the only one that refuses to publish any dates. The mystique bit is getting old. The Jobs-era magic is gone. macOS will continue to be a toy until they take support seriously and that includes not breaking anything and everything with reckless abandon in every new OS release. No one who does IT with even a modicum of professionalism is okay with looking at Apple's latest critical security updates and suddenly finding out that N OS version was no longer included in the patch set. But that would take the mystery aspect out of it!

I'll recommend Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction by David Poole (which I picked up rather randomly in a library clearance sale for $2). It tackles most subjects from both algebraic and geometric perspectives, so from the visual aspect it might fit. What's particularly useful about it relative to HN is it leans into computational applications pretty heavily.

For example, if some particular method is computationally efficient relative to others, the text makes a note of it, and has lots of computational examples. Most of the examples could be set up fairly straightforwardly with something like a Python notebook and Numpy for matrices. It also covers things like computational errors wrt floating-point operations when doing vector and matrix calculations, efficient algorithms for approximating eigenvalues of a matrix, etc.

Agreed on all points :)
Why are PRs more likely to fall through the cracks than tickets? I think the opposite is the case...
I think too much focus at Tesla is on FSD beta while barely anything trickles down to standard cars. They need more developers who extract new features down and make them ready for a worldwide rollout. The best symptom of this is the horrible state of Auto Pilot in Europe. Or how their auto blinding lights are just outright bad even though they have all the tools to fix it with a nice update.
Are you familiar with git repositories?
this is insanely cool! it's hard to imagine wasm stuff has come this far
That doesn’t sound like it would lead back to obscene valuations decoupled from today’s reality
It also helps improve whiteboard surfaces! You can turn dirt-cheap white "showerboard" into a mediocre whiteboard by spraying it with WD-40.
It writes in a file, but only the part needed, not the whole file (like any other DB with persistence)
You can ask later, too. But be clear upfront, I want to compare choices. Not many choices in that case in which you install the app your banks has.
Yes become a boring company nobody cares about like the rest of the car industry. Nobody should try and innovate with futuristic products and become
bureaucratic behemoths like the government, which has an excellent track record of success.
Total straw man. The question isn't whether Tesla's are safe to drive. The question is whether "autopilot" is safe to auto pilot.
If you want this feature, NEVER use a smart TV. Especially VIZIO. (Can take screen shots of any screen tied to their network)

LG pipes all visual data back to south korea.

Philips is just incompetent...

So the answer is, decline all TOS agreements, do not ever connect the TV to internet, use HDMI inout from external devices (not USB)...

---

And even still, this can't be trusted...

But the fact is, that all the externals (the Rokus, Gbits, fire, who cares) -- they are all doing the same tracking.

The benefit though is that all the externals ONLY have access (AFAIK at this point) to the stream data/account.

In the case of VIZIO, they are actually watching your literal video screen and monitoring the fingerprint of the RGB layout of the image on screen in a grid and comparing it to the DB they build and ingest against their lib... and if they dont recognize it, they can still take offline screenshots and compare those to channels they ingest for content outside of cable streams...

Basically at the end of the day, you TV is as much as a source as is anything else...

Maybe that's common, but it does not strike me as a good practice.

I think many people would be satisfied with not having the latest and greatest in exchange for a respectful device.
You say that, but the government is currently engaged in a new reform of the NHS. Having previously pushed decentralisation, competition and increased use and engagement with private providers (Health and Social Care Act 2012 [1]) they are now reversing their position and instead centralising control of everything, abandoning competition, disbanding many of the bodies they created and recreating old ones with new names [2]. This constant churn of politicians with new ideas about how to “fix” the NHS is a big part of why it’s broken.

You should also remember that the British public says they love the NHS but they don’t like paying for it. Current health care funding per capita is well behind other equivalently wealthy nations [3].

I have an older 65" NEC with a Pi3 in it. It's pretty cool, I like using the 4-way split screen feature with Twitch streams and I have a Steam PC daisy chained off the TV's network switch.
The legal basis of this is a US Supreme Court decision, O’Connor v. Donaldson (1975). "Mentally ill plaintiff was confined without treatment for 15 years. Held: states cannot constitutionally confine, “without more,” a person who is not a danger to others or to himself." That ended forced custodial care for the mentally ill who are merely annoying.

There's no constitutional prohibition, though, to offering druggies "drug camp", located somewhere in Outer Nowhere, where they get all the drugs they want.
Refactoring, in other words.

I wonder if OP has spoken to NHS Digital.
