Nope, doing reviews where topics are totally randomized (Called stochastic review) has been easier for me in the long run because I don’t have to categorize things, I just shovel them into SuperMemo and review them when their time comes. One skill you acquire while doing this is you learn how to quickly establish context for an idea since you can’t rely on contextual groupings when you’re doing your reviews. This has helped me learn to summarize information quicker because long term you will be asking yourself “If I don’t see this flashcard for three years, does this question establish enough contextual information that I can answer it?” Most flashcards are only one or two sentences long, since reading a paragraph to review a single card is really monotonous. As far as what info do I remember with it, it started out purely for language stuff, then I started using it for job info, then started using it for more “high class” information like history or science, but also experimented with idioms in foreign languages and then jokes in my mother tongue (English), which has been a lot of fun. I’m pretty convinced that if someone really committed to it, you could learn to be a really good comedian or freestyle rapper by using spaced repetition.

I think this discussion is typically fuzzy because people do not separate weight and size.

As for weight, no sane person wants to carry around more weight than needed. So there's a wide consensus that less weight is better. The counter point that extra weight helps with balance is a bit of a stretch. People often mention long heavy lenses but the truly heavy lenses you will not really support from the camera body anyway. Plus, we're not really talking about cameras where the "light" bodies really are that light as to make handling them unstable.

As for size, if we were to ignore weight for a second, I strongly believe a largish camera body is ergonomically ideal for almost everyone. These cameras are often portrayed to be "huge", but they really aren't as it comes to holding them. A large deep grip allows you to hold it well. A large back plate allows for lots of buttons and room between buttons.

I extend that remark to people with small hands. Even with small hands you can't fully "grip" a compact mirrorless camera. Don't get me wrong, for sure you can accustom yourself to deal with this compromise in ergonomics, I'm just saying that a largish size is the ergonomic ideal, if weight were not a factor.

Of course, the problem is that size and weight do correlate. So you can pick between a large camera that is ergonomically ideal to handle yet heavy to carry or a lighter camera with poor ergonomics.

In the end it's best to just try it. My main point is to keep an open mind towards largish cameras, they have some very strong pros.

Why would someone selling your code make it pointless to contribute to open source software? All the permissive open source licenses allow other people to sell your code anyway!
I'm not saying what Microsoft did was right at all, but I don't think it massively changes the dynamics of permissive (or even a decent bit of copyleft) open source development.

You contribute to open source because you want open source software to be better for you and for others, and Microsoft's use of it doesn't really affect that equation much (to me, at least).

If, on the other hand, someone was contributing to copyleft software because they dislike proprietary software & the corporations behind it, I could see this affecting their decision making, but even in this mindset, what's the other option? If your goal is FOSS and user-modifiable code, not contributing and or not open-sourcing your code is worse than Microsoft taking bits of it! The best strategy for this perspective to me is to remove all your code from GitHub, put it up on SourceHut or something self-hosted, and tell others to do the same (and don't buy Copilot, and tell others!)
> Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in a new book expressed "disappointment" that more Americans aren't more attuned to the Constitution and remaining vigilant about the protection of liberties.

> In the book, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," co-edited by Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta, Thomas was interviewed by Pack for over 30 hours between November 2017 and March 2018, in what became an expanded companion to the 2020 documentary of the same name.

> During the conversation, Thomas said that people are seemingly less attentive to the Constitution.

> "I think we as citizens have lost interest and that's been my disappointment. That certainly was something that bothered Justice Scalia, that people tend to be more interested in their iPhones than their Constitution. They're interested in what they want rather than what is right as a country," he said.

> When Pack asked if the loss of interest among the general population is "a burden for the Supreme Court," Thomas disagreed.

> "No, it's a burden on them, the citizens," he said. "They're going to lose their liberties."

> When Thomas was asked if the Supreme Court served to protect liberties, he said the nine-member body was only "one part of the effort."
"You protect your liberty. It's your country. We are one part of the effort, and it is the obligation of the citizens to at least know what their liberties are and to be informed," he said.

> He added: "I think we are allowing ourselves to be ruled when we turn all that over to someone else and we're saying, 'Rule me.' Does it mean we get to make all the decisions? No. We have a system for doing that, but a part of that is our role in it, and our informed role in it, not what is said on TV, not what is said by some half-informed person."

> Last week, Thomas played a key role in overturning Roe v. Wade — the 1973 decision that legalized abortion in the United States and afforded a constitutional right to the procedure.

> The Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 to uphold a Mississippi abortion ban, while voting 5-4 to overturn Roe.

> The decision over abortion rights now rests with the states; 13 states had "trigger laws" in place that effectively banned abortion procedures immediately after the court overturned Roe.

> Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote that the court should "reconsider" prior rulings on contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage in making the case that cases involving the 14th Amendment's due process clause needed to be reviewed.
For day-to-day I use my smartphone, currently a Pixel 3. It's also used frequently for situations that are more than mundane but where I don't want to make it a Photo Thing.

When I want to specifically set out to exercise my photo hobby, I usually take my Cannon R5 mirrorless, lens(es) and appropriate other accessories. I picked it up last year, migrating from a DSLR.

For some time I carried a Cannon compact in my daily carry bag but I just rarely pulled it out, usually relying on my phone. So I operate at either end of the spectrum.
Yeah thats the part that always bugs me and makes me lean toward it being a disingenuous reason. Like... thats the entire point of your sandbox. It doesn't matter if you run program A or program B, from the system's perspective the risk is the same.
Packj currently uses static code analysis to derive permissions (e.g., file/network accesses). Therefore, it can detect open() calls if used by the malware directly (e.g., not obfuscated in a base64 encoded string). But, Packj can also point out such base64 decode calls. Fortunately, malware has to use these APIs (read, open, decode, eval, etc.) for their functionality -- there's no getting around. Having said that, a sophisticated malware can hide itself better, so dynamic analysis as you suggested must be performed for completeness. We are incorporating strace-based dynamic analysis (containerized) to collect system calls.
The bad news: This can and obviously will be abused - be it by the secret services or hackers.

The good news, I suppose: As fast and scarily as the tech to fake things is evolving, so is presumably the tech that detects fakes.
Displaced Gamers is great. Nice dives into the code and architecture of NES games. Not so deep that it's inaccessible, but deep enough that you could go start hacking on NES games yourself (assuming some prior exposure to assembly).

My only beef is the NES focus on the Behind the Code series. I'd love to see some Sega Genesis games get broken down like that.
No, not exactly. Your chance of dying at year 80, per that table, is about 5% at 80, 15% at 90, and 30% at 100 (averaging for males and females). Not the same, and not 50.

I think the observation they're trying to convey is that your expected number of years remaining goes down by much less than one year per year at those ages. A 90-year-old can expect to live for another 4.5 years, but on their 91st birthday, the chart surprisingly predicts not 3.5 but 4.2 years remaining. The number of expected years left drops more than 0.95 years per year until age 20, 0.9 years per year until age 40, down to 0.8 at 60, 0.5 at 80, and 0.1 at 100.
After going on a low carb diet, my skin has never been healthier. Acne, dry skin, dandruff, itchiness and random hives that I've experienced as long as I can remember have all dissapeared.

Also my mood and emotional balance have never been more stable.

They allow Wechat and Alipay to pull in code after publishing (See Mini-Apps). Regardless there's no evidence that Safari would do a better job at protecting user's security than Firefox or Chrome/Edge.
Don't take it personally. You should expect a large number of companies to ghost you. It's just part of the process. Keep going and believe in yourself.
Oh God, you just reminded me I should really get to it. I'm also 1,70 and been averaging 84kg for the last few years, I'm in my mid-30's btw... Losing weight is so hard when you have zero passion for sport and nutrition...

I never really had a good grasp of C. Why is this code novel? It looks like importing a function in any language.
C++20 is honestly a pretty good language. So much of the anti-C++ sentiment seems to be from people who don't realize C++98 isn't what's in common use anymore (and I would absolutely agree C++98 was kinda shit in many ways)

But realistically anything where performance is the primary goal, especially graphical or media things, C++ is still going to be on your very very short list of languages to use. Rust is a compelling alternative, but... that's kinda it. It's really a choice between those 2. And you certainly can't be faulted for going with the far more established and far more widely used C++ over the new upstart Rust.
Every discussion about this seems to have people cutting themselves on Occam's razor left and right. The idea that there can only every be one true motivation for someone's actions isn't even true for the individual, much less a massive organization. It can be simultaneously true that Safari being the only browser on iOS is enjoyed by the business side of Apple and the engineering side of Apple for different reasons.

And good lord this line of argumentation is extremely disingenuous even if you think the actual analysis is good (counting CVEs is not exactly the best measure). One because no one except nerds are going to switch browsers in response a random CVE and two because it doesn't even establish what Apple actually means by security and instead goes off on a rant "well if Apple really cared about [my personal view of] security you would blah blah" -- literally zero effort to understand the opposing view or evaluate other possible ways of addressing the security concerns.

But ya know, "Safari lags behind other browsers in RCE mitigations and mean time to patch" doesn't grab headlines and doesn't prescribe a single solution that is also motivated by more than just security ;)
That doesn't use JIT. In theory a browser like Chrome doesn't have to either, but then Apple might be lambasted since presumably JIT is required to be competitive against Safari in terms of performance.
the big deal part is that it's a multi billion dollar corporation making money off of a derivative work while blatantly disregarding copyright.

If i refresh the speedtest dot net website, it sometimes brings the correct ip. (paranoid me thinks i might have a malware in my network/router, which is routing my network through a vpn maybe ? ) or the other explanation could be speedtest dot net has a problem with showing the public ips of the requests
The abuse is mostly academic: What they're doing is _technically_ against copyright law. In practice, someone who wrote a serious JavaScript might have some utility functions "stolen" by Copilot, but it isn't as if it's going to emit forty files of cohesive and well-documented classes. Preact isn't going to suddenly appear in a proprietary codebase of IBM. Maybe their cloneElement function - which is technically copyrighted and licensed, but it isn't why those collaborators decided to spent their time on Open Source.

> The one unwavering thing about technology is that it doesn't stop advancing, and we can't use it responsibly.

While I think that is true in general, I am optimistic that we've seen at least one technology where we were able to constraint ourselves from self-destruction: nuclear weapons.

Of course, nuclear weapons tech is not in reach of individuals or corporations, which means there are only a handful of players in this game-theory setting.
regarding task groups: can this be used in places where we want to run several tasks until any one (or more) of the tasks exit? (i.e. instead of asyncio.gather, asyncio.wait with return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED)
Many software engineers contribute to OSS for reasons that have little to do with money. They publish code in the open for free in the expectation that other engineers would look at it and learn from it, and while at that appreciate the effort and expertise of the original author.

Copilot takes this away, in that a megacorp now uses the above contributions to provide a paid solution that essentially removes the need for people to even know you exist while allowing them to use the results of your work.

I don't think it's a death of open source, but it's definitely a mini-death of Github. At least myself personally I'm inclined to switch to SourceHut, which so far seems to be trustworthy, no-bullshit and with clear business model.
Well, if chrome did have 90%+ market share maybe we would finally see some antitrust regulation against Google's monopoly (ideally splitting chrome off from Google). Although there is no guarantee that would happen.
> It's much easier to throw your hands up when you're told over and over again that it's not your fault and is all the cause of immutable externalities.

No, it's not. There's nothing about recognizing a challenge that says that you cannot keep trying to overcome it.

It's just as easy to throw your hands up when someone is unsympathetic and calls people who have compassion 'SJWs' and you are buried in shame. For some people, yes, some amount of shame can be a motivator. For others it works the opposite way and results in a vicious cycle of self-treatment for depression with food. Poor mental health can be a much more pressing and existential threat than being overweight.

Listen. We know for sure that the gut biome can trigger the release of neurotransmitters via the vast cluster of neurons in the digestive system. That is: bacteria in your gut can directly affect your mood if you don't eat the food they want you to eat. Like it or not, we are electrochemical machines, not little ghosts piloting spaceships.

I have a friend who is a healthy weight, has a flat stomach and is regarded as very attractive. She eats the absolute worst food: hot pockets, pizza rolls and candy. But, in public, no one assumes she eats junk food. No one tells her to lose weight or to eat less. No one makes a disgusted face at her if she goes to the gym.

On the other hand, imagine someone obese eating at McDonalds once a week while still maintaining a calorie deficit for the day. What kind of looks, assumptions and comments do you think that person will get when they are eating fries? Do you think that is motivating? Do you think people who want you to treat that person as a human are SJWs? Why is SJW an insult to you anyway? Because people care about other people too much? Because you doubt the sincerity of people who publicly make an effort?

Yes, let's just pretend these things are not intrinsically linked by the hip. I suppose it's helpful to know how easy it is to run away from your assailant isn't it? In a less walkable neighborhood that attacker might be able to get more than just a few punches on you.
> 1. Try to give someone $100,000,000 in cash. It literally weighs over a ton.

Is this a common problem? I don't normally transact $100M on a normal basis, and the few times I've transacted anything more than even $5k or so usually involved some form with the government involving a title transfer or something along those lines. So then the argument of needing to do it privately is a bit of a moot point anyways.
The intra-party banter is what makes them. I tend to call it "popcorn fantasy" but mean that positively (and the length of time he takes to set up the "who's turn is it to cook" gag is simply masterful).

Last time I played a Rogue in an AD&D game I used Silk as an archetype, and it worked out very nicely.
As noted by another HNer, we are using one cluster and up to 10 nodes as the top end, with only one running 90% of the time and only up to 3 covering the other 9%. We set 10 to the upper limit to ensure we're not going to have borked runs in case some crazy random ML model isn't going to take everything out and force killed jobs. The vast majority of workloads running on the cluster are HIGHLY variable with most running on Monday morning/afternoon and Month or Quarter starts + 3 days.

We are running many hundreds of jobs on those peak days with only a handful running on any other day. While many bring up examples where 24/7 infrastructure from a single box is more than plenty, we find that we can run micro VMs in this configuration and not have to worry about resource contention as our jobs run.

Pre-GKE, we were managing the timing manually, which was fine until we started to scale, but we found this to be a far better situation. Particularly because we simply don't have to think about it.

YMMV.

Serenbe is a very cool example, thank you. Do you know of any others?

I definitely think local political pushback is one of the potential challenges. But I will also admit that part of the plan would be to move in enough people to gain political control.

It's a very viable, legal political strategy to ship 60k families into a new urban enclave in Wyoming or Montana and thereby turn it blue. 120k blue votes would do it.

I honestly thought that was Amazon's plan with HQ2, which is what made me think of it. A company the size of Amazon could create that many great jobs in one of these states in a single election year. If they paired it with tasteful property development, I would be shocked if a good chunk of their Seattle employees didn't swarm the new town.

But let's assume that:

1 - no existing large company will do this. Patagonia or similar could, but most don't wade this deeply into politics.

2 - locals would dislike it but would also get rich selling their land. So this is not hostile to them, and we don't need to obsess over their feelings too much. It's just capitalism.

Seems to me a better mechanism would be to assemble the interest, then collect the money, and then buy the plot of land. You wouldn't want to project too much ahead of time for fear of scaring or intimidating. But once you secured the land, assuming you could still subdivide it and develop it (ie, assuming local politicians didn't stop you first), you could sell it off, get the new residents registered and you're done. You just took over.

This could sound too premeditated, but developers wielding local laws in unexpected ways to their economic advantage is nothing new. See Robert Moses.

I think a DAO should be the next Robert Moses, only not racist and focused on making all of the gorgeous land in this country habitable for young people. This is a massive country. The only reason we all huddle in cities is because the rest of it is so left behind that we don't want to help it anymore.

BTW, I don't think there's much difference between taking over a town and starting a new one. You start a new one and the neighboring towns plus the county will still freak out. It's in your best interest to control local politics, ideally all the way to the governor, either way.
