From bioenergetics, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, we show that if the
atmospheric pressure was higher at the time of the dinosaurs than it is today, we would be able to resolve a number of anomalies which puzzle scientists today. These concern how a giant pterosaur (quetzalcoatlus, with a 12-15 m wingspan) had enough power to fly; also, how a giant dinosaur (apatosaur, with a 12.5 m long neck) was able to pump blood
up to its brain.

That may be the case, but that's the reason why termux exists. If termux accepts that, the only logical consequence is to cease development.
If they don't want the signed contract back, that's the first time I've seen it. Every employer I worked for wanted the contract back with a signature. Newer ones were OK with an electronic (not digital, just pixels instead of ink) signature but they all wanted a signature.

When they get the modified contract back that's their notification of your adjusted terms. Is it polite to ask them to print a modified contract? Yes. But it may not always be practical.

[This is not legal advice, duh]

Because employer/ employee is asymmetric (unless you're literally hired by an individual) my understanding is that it is good sense for them to prefer your amended contract if the terms you wanted are acceptable, because the law in many places says if you have a take-it-or-leave-it contract then the person in the "take it or leave it" position, here the employee, is entitled to interpret any ambiguous provisions in the most advantageous way. Having amended the contract, you are now on equal footing with the employer and any remaining ambiguity is resolved equitably which means less risk of nasty surprises for them.
This effect is derived from the mathematical axioms that define quantum mechanics. It has nothing to do with instrument error or strobing. In fact it works best if there's no instrument error. Instrument error creates chances for the system you're trying to pin down to escape.

you misunderstand both Java generics and Java primitive types.

1. the JVM does not support generics as a language construct, and are simply a compiler feature of Java

2. the JVM and Java differentiates primitive and reference types, Integer being a reference (boxing) type of the primitive type int. And, generics do not support primitive types anyway.

The JVM implementations are incredible pieces of machinery, and even if they did not pack or stride their primitive arrays -- which they absolutely do -- the JVM & compilers will handle an incredible amount of runtime memory layout and packaging.
Same experience. It is nearly unresponsive on high core count servers like high end epyc cpus.
The reason I address that point is that its the central point of contention why abortion is different from contraception and same sex marriage. The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 illustrate that in some situation people, even non-religious people, want to to view unborn as more than just cells growing on the woman. It not just a religious belief but rather an emotional one.

My guess is that for popular belief, if a unborn dies because of violence to the woman then people emotionally see it as murder of an other human being. If the woman choose to abort then for social reason many/most people do not view it as a human being that died. This is however a conflict of views which has nothing to do with religion.

With contraception, even if it was done through force, no one outside of religious belief would see it as killing a human. How would even The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 be applied? Should each sperm count as a half human?

Similar with same-sex there isn't any direct situations where non-religious people suddenly would be in favor of outlawing it.

As for the exception written in the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004, what is say is that the legality of abortion is not effected by the definition of the that law. Nothing more, nothing less. We can have laws allowing abortion for social reasons regardless if we view the bunch of cells as being more than just a bunch of cells.

Hate speech is not free speech. There’s plenty of places to spread hate speech, you don’t have to go on Reddit.

You don’t have to publicly blame it on "leftists" and compare it to NK. Your kind of speech isn’t welcome here.

I Predict a Crime Boom in 2040
I can't speak for others but I started programming to understand how all the low level stuff works.

I think there's merit in learning assembler because you then appreciate what all the other languages are doing under the hood, but then python is also good for getting something done quickly.

I suppose it's what scratches you itch. If you want to print out "hello world" quickly and easily then python is a better bet. If you want to know the mechanics, assembler is the better bet.
Yeah, destroying pedestrian and cycle infrastructure to keep cars out is a pet peeve of mine. It's often dangerous, makes the path inaccessible, and just plain ugly.

Like the "concrete pigs" you mention. Often not marked properly, and cyclists have to slow down to a crawl to pass. Often 90% of the road is blocked with a boom barrier, and pedestrians and cyclists all have to share the remaining part to squeeze through. That only increases conflict. Also pretty hard for bigger cargo bikes, wheelchairs etc to pass. During winter, the booms are opened for the snow plow and then closed. Which means that as a cyclist I still have to cycle around on the un-plowed part...

It's insane the lengths one has to go to avoid cars destroying everything.

Edit: An example pic https://imgur.com/a/FmDd5Ve
Nice wide road, have to close it off with a boom because of cars. Pedestrians and cyclists have to pass on the icy parts...

If I recall correctly, for approx two decades in the 1990's and 2000's, ITRON was the most popular operating system in the world by a wide margin. It was more widely installed than MS-DOS, Windows, or anything else. Because it was the OS used by Japanese consumer electronics devices, such as Panasonic and Sony VCRs and DVD players, etc.
More throughput means more storage space needed at destination or faster loading / offloading speed and more local delivery rotation which won't be possible in final destination.
i've been thinking of kitboga and other anti-scammer youtubers/twitch people.

has someone built a library or something we can replicate some of these banks/amazon so that more people can waste scammers time deliberately instead of watching sports for example.

i mean if i have an hour to kill, i could watch a movie or the game or waste an hour of some scammer because scammers are not going anywhere. if they are busy with you in an environment you control, they are not scamming anyone else.

i think there must be resources available so that more people do this. the banks have all sorts of kyc/aml so we can definitely drive their banking channels down as long as crypto is still not in the mainstream.

even then, imagine a dummy bitcoin/xrp client that actually uses testnet but doesn't display that fact to the user, that way we can use the funds in the fake bank to buy fake crypto and spend a day waiting for the bitcoin transaction to reach the testnet address. thats quite a good way to waste their time

You thought correctly. You should have read a book written by someone smarter. Imagine a world where you'd have to ask book writers if you're allowed to cite or to refer to their books in yours.

I do not think that each get is ignoring the important parts of the other. I think they think that these important things are simply wrong.

A foetus is "alive" since the conception. "Wrong" says the other side, it is alive when (something).

Contraception and sex ed are key. "Wrong" says the other side, you can just be abstinent and learn as you go because this is natural.

Ignoring would be simpler, because you could realize that what you are ignoring actually makes sense. We are in a case where each side has well defined views on the important things of the adversary.

The difference Network Rail (the UK's rail infrastructure body) used to distinguish between a tunnel and a bridge was that if it was over 20m long it was a tunnel, but then someone came up with the bright idea to redefine a tunnel as over 30m long, so everything in the 20-30m range would cost less to maintain because bridge engineers were cheaper than tunnel engineers.
> It was smaller than a mainframe but larger than a microcomputer (also know as the personal computer).

Microcomputers didn't exist until R2E released the Micral N years later, and François Gernelle came up with this word. The Personal Computer was created by IBM in 1981, eight years after the birth of the microcomputer.

You're not entirely wrong though, UNIX (think X as cross platform) was technically born with the C language on the PDP-11.

The early "Unics" was written in assembly for the 18 bits PDPs ISA (more precisely a PDP-7, but the ISA was shared with the 1, 4, 7, 9 and 15). Then they came up with a new high level language to port it to the 16 bits PDP-11 ISA, which eventually became C.
UK: I have lived in Birmingham for 40+ years. You need reasonably good geolocation skills just to find your way into the city centre - there is always construction work with traffic diversions. A little bit of an exaggeration but it feels like that, especially now with the HS2 work and half a dozen new high-rise buildings, and the metro extension. I was recently asked for directions to New Street station from a location in Digbeth and I had to think through the currently viable route.

Mr Davies' straight line walks remind me of 1970s art projects brought up to date and made more accessible perhaps. I'll have to watch some of his 'tubes. I like the idea of a documented walk.

The argument for 0-based indexing with exclusive upper bounds is that hi - lo == len, that 0-length intervals can be expressed without hi < lo, that if you have found the first index at which a predicate is true and the first index at which it is no longer true, those indices themselves are usable as upper and lower bounds, so you may write my_slice[first_true_idx..first_subsequent_false_idx] to get the sub-slice in which the predicate is true continually, that using mod to restrict indices to the valid range is idx % n rather than (idx - 1) % n + 1.

The argument for 1-based indexing with inclusive upper bounds is that binary heaps are easier to write this way. Edit: And that people who are not primarily programmers may find 0-based indexing weird.

I would really like a language where you can swap simple data collections like dicts or arrays with others, better defined, employing better suited algorithms without changing everywhere in your code how you access them.

So if getting a field using simple structure is mycol[key] it should look exacty the same when mycol is no longer a flexible dict containing adhoc objects but complex strongly typed immutanble trie or btree indexed array because at some point of evolution of your code it became apparent that this is exactly what you need.

The only language that I know of that has consistent interface between simple and complex (also custom) collections is Scala.
The question is why: it won't stop the HN audience, all it does is add some piqued interest - which AFAICT goes unanswered.
Not all dings are equal.

If they're replies to messages you've sent (i.e. the continuation of a conversation) or your latest instagram post getting a like, you're gonna get that hit. Namely, for the validation that someone out there is interested enough in something you put out there to respond to it.

At the other end of the spectrum it's Uber Eats promos∆, news headlines, or Google Maps begging for a review. Maybe you'd place them elsewhere on the dopamine-spectrum but you get my point.

∆especially annoying because I want them on when I have a delivery coming, but off at all other times!
The tech aspect is problematic but to me it shows they don't understand what made reddit special. It's was that borked website that made people have nice convos and spaces(if you don't look at r/donald etc). The programming/UX was almost irrelevant, it was the social spirit behind that made it interesting.
Still crazy for a mass product.
True in principle, but that is neither related to multiple dispatch nor a common feature in other languages. Dependent typing is very much active research in PL academia. The @inbounds kerfuffle was all about incorrectly using a tool that's explicitly documented to take off the existing bounds checking safety, similar to `unsafe` blocks in Rust. So even with dependent types, if you explicitly opt out of those checks, they wouldn't have helped.

>This is hilariously inaccurate and essentially a stereotype perceived from the Reddit front page.

I can't pick what was more brain cells-killing to read: bshepard's initial rant, his later claim that he doesn't use Reddit despite having written a comment that could be pulled from /r/politics or /r/worldnews every single day, or eertami's claim that the Ukraine war affects "barely anybody in Europe". Honorable mention: kkfx's claim that a lawyer is needed to get a gym membership in the US.
I think you made a great observation about the 5-10 breaks but I disagree with your assessment that we're just replacing one random behavior with another.

The fact that I am "compelled" to look at my phone instead of staying with my thoughts is not an innocuous pattern. Why do I, with perfect predictability, prefer reaching for my phone rather than staying with my thoughts? And it's a fact that this compulsion to look at my phone exists even when I'm working on something important and not just when I'm standing in the elevator.

(My tone might be aggressive. I don't mean to offend, I just disagree).

The author is not addressing the couplings in their code itself, but the code couplings between their code and all libraries in the Julia ecosystem, which is an altogether more audacious goal.
> Do you find it odd that most people buy chairs capable of supporting 200kg when they know that no one over 100kg will ever sit on it?

it solved through more materials or technologies per $ input. Chairs that can support more mass require non-trivial production and/or rare materials. You likely can produce a chair out of titanium or carbon fabric that could support more weight.
There're no chairs that are both cheap and can support variety of use cases.
I bought Apollo (iOS, highly recommend) out of sheer spite for Reddit pushing their own shitty mobile version through dark patterns and shitty design.
I wonder what part of costs of QA/QC requirements is inherent, and what part is just due to being special thing not common in the rest of industry. Seems to me that with computerized tracking, similar levels of QA requirements could be embraced by whole industry.
No one has educated anyone sitting in the middle of a circus full of novelty, over stimulation, distractions and interruptions.

Yes "Education" requires patient teachers, but it also requires a very specific environment without all of the above. You don't have to look to social media platforms for it cause that's not where education happens.

I realize it's a joke but I'll explain why it doesn't follow. The amount of measuring required to prevent the water from boiling would look more like some impossibly intimate process that was actively and constantly interrogating almost every single detail of every water molecule in the pot. It's very different from the passive collection that your eyes do when you look at the pot. You'd need to really get in there and strongly interact with the water to get out the necessary information. A closer analogy than looking at it would be sticking your hand in it, but that's still not nearly harsh enough.
Yeah, at least twice now a content creator friend of mine went viral (think tens of millions of views) without getting much of the traffic herself; the thieving accounts/networks captured almost all of the benefits. Having those taken down have proven to be almost impossible. It’s disgusting.

Edit: In addition, just recently she managed to ward off a blatant thief and finally drive traffic from another hit to herself. But the income lost to the thief in the first few days? Forget about it.
What amuses me is that I remember a time where only “powerful” computers could run doom in full screen, whereas others had to settle with playing Wolfenstein 3D, and now Doom is the smallest game we use for these hacks :-)

I have been on an Intercités de Nuit from Paris to BCN (Estació de França), going through the gauge changing building at Portbou. Alas, that service was deleted when the TGV became homologated for cross-border service around 2013, and AFAIK there is no further passenger traffic which uses it.

I'd go so far as to say that outside OTP, cryptography is always breakable.

You can always just guess keys. The aim of most secret key cryptography is to make sure there aren't much better strategies than that to break it, or if there are that the key sizes are sufficiently big it doesn't matter.

With OTP you can't guess keys, as there is a valid key for any possible message. It is unbreakable without the original key.

I’ve been trying [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org) for a while - it’s an open source, federated alternative to Reddit (and uses an interface similar to old.reddit.com). The main instance has a pretty heavy left bias, and like all less well known social media platforms, it suffers from a lack of content and engagement. But these are issues that can be tackled over time with more users joining the platform.
I've not read this, despite many people I trust suggesting it to me, because I am familiar at a high level with the flow of the story, and having once experienced a vaguely similarly unfortunate event[1] to the latter half, I do not want to see how I react to reading it unless I am prepared to burn a lot of time on the emotional fallout.
