That's not relevant to the point. As a geographic feature, the US is disparate and even the urban centers persist under wildly different conditions. Looking at it from a perspective OTHER than how humans classify their societies, might give some insight. Generally scientists are interested in data in aggregate that ignore the arbitrary lines drawn generations ago for human edification.

That's how you could graciously interpret the gp's comment, even if you disagree that it's a useful viewpoint.

So I actually love the idea, even using Wikipedia! Their news/current affairs section is amazing, but not accessible or readable in a "new site" like way. If I were you I would be championing that aspect, making it a key feature, talk about how it is making this amazing resource accessible. But part of that would be to donate a larger portion to them. Just charge $20/year and give Wikipedia half...
Why not use a VPN to access your home network, rather than directly exposing the NAS? Many routers have an L2TP or similar server built-in.

WordPress became popular at a time when LAMP hosting was easy, widespread, and affordable. It's one reason WordPress largely supplanted Movable Type, which was an early popular blogging platform / CMS / static site generator. Because Movable Type was Perl-based, it was more difficult to host.

Internally, Movable Type had a really nice object persistence / ORM abstraction, with support for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, and Oracle. Meanwhile, iirc around this time WordPress internally had raw queries strewn about its codebase, which certainly would have been difficult to support multiple DBs. (I haven't looked at WP since then so I don't know if this is still the case.)

Faced with shrinking market share and being out-executed on features by WordPress/Automattic, Movable Type actually removed Postgres and SQLite support in response! Then again, these DBs weren't nearly as popular back then as they are today.
Are you kidding me? HN is one of the most transparently conservative comment sections on the internet.
Comparing the US average life expectancy to the average of other rich countries is tricky because the US population is so much bigger and more diverse than most other countries. If US data were broken down by state, we'd probably see life expectancy in some states more like rich northwestern European countries, and some states more like poor southeastern European countries.

For all that, US healthcare is still uniquely optimized to maximize cost.
Once the native speakers vanish, they can then go back and retranslate the new testament to read whatever they want it to, and only greybeard scholars could argue against it. Not that they haven't made X numbers of versions already
OP said it was unhelpful to consider it one country, not that it was untrue to consider it one country.

I think this is true in the same way that it is unhelpful to talk about the mean net worth of 10 individuals in a room if one of them is Elon Musk.

And, in fact, treating the US as "different countries" is exactly what the author does - by pointing out that it is low-income Americans who actually suffer the burden of lower life expectancy rather than an across the board radical lowering of life expectancy for all Americans compared to other rich nations.
Any idea what it's like from a physical perspective to keep a mainframe like that running? Is there a point at which parts need to be custom made to replace anything that breaks or do they generally keep running with minimal physical issues?

Kinda makes me think about those old industrial engines that have been running continuously for 80-100 years.
Yes, it sounds like crypto miners are running the wrong algos on their GPUs.
In my experience (studying Nextdoor) nobody cares about suburban noise pollution, which really is far worse than anything they do care about. What they care about is

1. a 2-story building might cast a shadow on something

2. a person under 50 years old might walk in front of their house, causing gentrification

3. there might be some traffic, somewhere

4. tech employees are too poor to live in their city and will lower property values

5. tech employees are too rich and will park their sports cars in front of their house, attracting crime

Since the conclusions are at the end of the article, there's no need to guess

Every country should and can do better in this respect, but a particular weakness of the US is a lack of success in preventing poor health. Many of the important factors – smoking, obesity, violence, poverty – are not about providing better healthcare for those that need it, but about preventing poor health outcomes in the first place.

The failure to prevent poor health is a factor that is contributing to both developments shown in the first chart. They worsen the health of the American population and they are expensive for the healthcare system.
I think it's even more complicated.

The reduction in latency brought on by in-process databases, combined with modern NVMe storage, means that SQLite is a substantially faster approach than any other solution which requires a trip through the network stack.

I've got services in production for several financial institutions right now that are resolving most SQL queries within 100-1000 micro seconds by simply using SQLite on reasonable hardware.

How many more users could you support if the amount of time you had to await IO for each was reduced by ~2 orders of magnitude?

Obvious caveats here being the resilience angle. We addressed this with application-level protocols and additional instances.

I'm starting to think that maybe browsers on Android and iOS just don't matter much anymore, other than as the foundation for in-app web views.

I have a fairly new phone on a 5G network and the browser is soooo much better than it was even ten years ago yet I use it far, far less than I did back then. Part of it is that my phone just didn't do as much back then and so I spent more time in the browser, but I think the other part is that the web has turned into a garbage fire.

I used to browse the web the same way I used to channel surf in 1984. It was what I did for fun. Today, I go to five sites 99% of the time and I kind of dread having to use my browser on my phone outside of that.
> The role of email verification is as a simple check for whether the email entered is controlled by the user entering it. A non-reponse by the owner of the email implies denial

It doesn't, though, because services often have a limited pending verification state, and no negative exit from that state. If it actually implied denial, then at some time in the pending state without confirmation, it would enter a failure state (which would probably curtail most access until a new email was provided.) Even then, it would be desirable to allow the actual mail account owner to trigger a fast-denial rather than relying on a implied denial by timeout.
It's measured in eV as it's the most precise* measurement you can make. Ultimately it does turn into enthalpy.

Process takes place at 21 bar and 300-500C. I do not see this being efficient unless powered by nukes. This is fine though, and more accessible than the gasoline production methods that use similar high pressure high temperature reactors.

Same here. I’ve found myself going down rabbit holes so ridiculously orthogonal to the actual problem that I was embarrassed for myself.
If there’s no federal government what are they doing with the $30,000+ they extort from me every year?
drugs and the standard American diet - its not rocket science. over 36% of the country is obese, compared to germany at 22%, finland at 22%, belgium at 22% norway at 23%, spain at 24%, poland at 23% etc.

Maybe other reason as well, but improving the american diet would improve health more than anything else. Food companies should be sued like tobacco companies were for the poison they peddle.
Thanks! Totally agree - you need to understand some programming basics in order to understand the examples in the code section. Things like variables and for loops.
Please go to American Samoa and then Rhode Island and explain how it's not unreasonable to look at things this way. The US is so big and so different in some areas, some people in the USA even get passports that say they're not even US citizens even though they were born in the USA.
How does life expectancy compare between, say, the Pacific Northwest, and the Deep South? I'd like to see that first before I homogenize the entire US and compare to a small country in Europe. E.g. obesity rates vary considerably around the US.
> I don't buy this.

Good, I'm not selling anything, simply taking a more critical look at the recent past: all I'm seeing is the FIA doing what it always does, reshuffles the pack after the racing gets dull which (inadvertently?)always creates another domination era.

Newey is without a doubt an unrivaled aero-savant, and since they re-introduced ground effects, so of course this was going to favour RBR who owe their entire legacy on making the most out of the aero packages during the Vettel era. I've read this article [0], and I think Toto's case is just one of sour grapes which he and Mercedes benefited from when it went to V6, it still stands to reason that it's more circumstantial than it is a re-birth of Newey's infallibility.

Its interesting because they made Honda decide to stay after being adamant of leaving after having been humiliated for countless years (Alonso: GP2 engine!), which makes me think RBR and Newey knew all along of what was coming and gave them a reason to stay. And in an era in which keeping major manufactures is the name of the game they'll do anything to keep them there at all costs.

That's a weird take, considering Fennec is FF on Android, just with some minor config changes.

Your statement is akin to saying: "Firefox on Debian is my solution to Mozilla abandoning FF on desktop"

If FF on Android _were_ abandoned, then so would Fennec.

I use Fennec, but because I know that it the well-supported, actively developed Firefox on Android, but available on F-Droid.

which sadly Mozilla doesn't provide or allow F-Droid maintainers to publish it as "Firefox"
Pretty sure its an imperial unit.
I see these type of posts as a hybrid of the "life is more about work" and "make your work meaningful" arguments. I can see how this is a valuable strategy, but the use cases are pretty narrow. It presumes greater knowledge translates into greater salaries at a later date.
imo, better advice would be "don't make your income your self worth" and/or "salary is just one aspect of compensation; knowledge, skills, networks, and opportunities are some other ones."

[narrator] The previous engineer was themself, 18 months ago.

I turns out that usually (not universally!) the problem isn't that the previous person did a bad job, but rather that they made a set of tradeoffs that made sense at the time, and make less sense now.

Or it could be that you work with uncharacteristically incompetent engineers, but that's not the first place to look.
I read that as "dedicated server[process]" not "dedicated server[hardware]" While the latter would obviously imply the former, it's really the former that increases the complexity of managing whole affair. Desktop applications with a dependency on mysql/postgres running on the same machine are, in my experience without exception, a pain in the ass for users.
You're unconvinced it would qualify as fair use?

Disclaimer: I don't watch The Boys, and I didn't read the article, but I have to ask, "who cares?" No one needs the support of people who deny others' rights to health, public safety, and love; and who push, explicitly or implicitly, for a theocracy. "Not all right-wingers" -- but enough of them to poison the group.

From what I've read about The Boys and one character's intentional parallels to Trump, it reminds of John Walker in Falcon & Winter Soldier. He was clearly meant to be an example of a terrible person and a murderer, despite the message he wanted to embody, and yet so many people cheered him on, agreed with him, and even praised his anger-fueled, brutal summary execution of someone who was, at worst, guilty by association of the crime he was being murdered for. Too many people in the real world are evil, thinking they are good, which is the worst kind of evil.
Very well put, and I agree. I'd like to add to your list: Die Hard has always felt to me like the genesis of the modern action movie.

1. Modern CPUs have a larger internal register file and dynamically remap the logical registers referenced by machine instructions into physical instructions.

2. Modern CPUs have a very complicated instruction reordering mechanism and data dependency analysis mechanism that allows CPUs to execute multiple instructions in parallel, when it's possible.

3. A lot of transistors are used for caches (instruction and data caches, and other kinds of buffers like the one used for branch prediction etc).

4. Even a single core has multiple copies of the execution units which allow to execute some instructions in parallel (see above).
Indeed, encapsulation is probably better referred to a minimal coupling. Near zero knowledge interaction. It's a variability principle.
Me personally, all the time.

In fact, I am taking a short break from a problem that reduces to graph coloring with 2 colors. [1] If you interview with our team we will absolutely ask LC style algorithmic problems because one will definitely use that knowledge with us, a lot.

The problem is not LC style interviews per se. The problem is not enough companies tailoring their interview to the role they're trying to fill.

In contrast to some other posters, I love the design. Vaguely reminded of the Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog box art [1]. I'm all for colorful geometric shapes.

What I don't like is the same thing I see everywhere else. There's this implicit assumption that nearly everything will be on the web. [2] I don't want frontend or backend jobs. I want to move away from the web. I'm tired of the web. I want to do something else.

Like, I get it. That's where ninety-something percent of the jobs are. But I would love if, as an industry, we took a step back from that.

Dominated by defense spending and entitlements. Going strictly on budget isn't a great comparison. E.g., many Western European countries spend practically nothing on defense, relatively speaking.

From a policy point of view, US states have more power than the feds.

The Fischer–Tropsch processes - they are talking about that , don't they, at least very similar - for converting CO or CO2 and methan into liquid fuel seem so attractive...
They are feeding on both of the worst green house gases to make fuel.
Basically that makes it the reverse process to our climate-sins of burning fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow.

If we could use the Fischer-Tropsch processes to process atmospheric CO2 and methan on a really large scale we could recycle burnt fuel and create a global equilibrium.
Fuel would then be used as energy storage instead of energy source. Fuel is an attractive energy storage, because it is simple, has high energy density and we have LOTS of experience and legacy hardware powered by fuel.

From the view point of a simearth/civilization/4x/colonization/strategy game player that is a technology I would like to unlock.

The truth about JCL is actually worse than "they were on drugs".

In fact, they gave themselves a goal of avoiding making it into a programming language, except unfortunately real life requirements meant it had to gather such features quickly. Other infamous components came because of need to specify in line all sorts of metadata for I/O, because the OS might not have a place to store it - this caused the infamous DD statement that /bin/dd is a joking refence to.

In retrospective, one of the leads on JCL mentioned that they should have instead gone straight for a full programming language, that this way it would have better design.

Looking at Assembly Code with GDB
A huge amount of field linguistics is documentation of languages that are in danger of losing all their native speakers. Many Native American languages are in this category, for instance—it's common for these languages to have only a handful of native speakers left, all of whom are elderly. It's literally a race against the clock.
If you drop a bunch of Danes, Swiss, or many of these other people in the US their life expectancy in the US would be almost as good. This life expectancy graph should include nations from which US draws much more disproportionately, such as Mexico, Africa (former slaves), Central American nations, etc. For instance, Hispanics have much greater life expectancy in the US vs many of the nations from which they draw. US provides a lot of these opportunities where nations like Switzerland less proportionately provide.

And to the person who pretended like they didn't understand that most slaves came from African regions with low life expectancy, they know they're playing the disingenuous game where they try to pretend the US hasn't greatly risen the life expectancy (presently) of these offspring vs had they been born in their forefather's nation. Including these African nations on the chart would show that, but someone (perhaps racist since they chose not to include Africa) with an agenda left them out.

>Also what does being descended from someone who worked as a slave have to do with anything

A nice attempt to play dumb and act like these slaves didn't disproportionately come from nations with low life expectancy, in which their descendants quite likely would now live had they not been unjustly removed from their homes. Of course commenter knew this all along, but tried to bait the question.
>One issue is having an open border that allows trafficking of deadly drugs

By this logic the US should have higher life expectancy than the countries it's being compared to.

>We also push vaccines during a pandemic that was primarily killing the obese in the greatest numbers but no mention of exercise and a reasonable diet.

When you're trying to explain differences you should focus on things that are actually... different. Obesity, maybe. Vaccines, not so much.
I'd say it's mostly a question of lifestyle. You can have all paliative halthcare you want, what matters is regular exercise, good diet and I guess other factors like pollution.
