I think it IS disingenuous and also lie. What people tell about you and to you affects your experience and possibilities a lot.

The above phrase is told to bullied kids so that they shut up and so that adults don't have to deal with situation. Teaching the kid how to defend from bullies, how to avoid them or addressing bullies themselves is much harder. If the kid is not pickes on but kid complains for wrong reasons, then explaining the situation to the kid is also harder.
Considering the high inflation rate, they can't. Military sector spending is at the expense of the rest of the population.
Generic corp stuff TBH i'm not sure I"ve ever worked on an official "ITIL Runbook" but its all the same stuff with different names. I think they are a good idea in theory but they get taken to religion places with middle management and project managers types that want to make it part of their excuse for having a job.

Despite that they are still never updated properly or accurately. Because when someone is tapping you on the should saying "where is the runbook update" while you are buried in more work than you can already do this week people just put something in there. THe people "enforcing" dont know anything or care to so they just update their checkbook/playbook as done.

They also tend to be a "people are replaceable cogs" champion for the sociopaths in the company.

Hardly. There's 7 continents (~3 bits of entropy), but dozens/hundreds of camera models this technique (6-8 bits). And it's hardly the only media forensic technique out there. There's ways of extracting the time of day without metadata, manipulation software chain, the lens used (sometimes down to make and model), and tons more. Before you know it, you've put a big dent in the ~33 bits needed to pinpoint a specific person.
Doesn't Apple route all of their international sales through Ireland, which is in the EU? They'd need to find another tax haven.

That doesn't make it wrong to ask why others make a different decision. Should seeking empathy not be applauded?

Yes, the question does imply, almost aggressively so, a certain bias, but perhaps it would be better if you were not to discourage the desire to understand by unnecessarily responding in kind.

[FWIW: I also have no intention of procreating, but I understand at least some of the reasons that many take the opposing view]
In previous discussions about the site/posts on the site on HN I remember the site owner getting very butthurt in threads over criticism. I don't have specific links however. Just anecdata.
The article is wrong. I don't get how this could make it to the top.

It has nothing to do with greenhouse emissions, but with nitrogen compound emission. See https://www.dutchnews.nl/features/2022/06/whats-all-the-fuss... (the first english source I could find)

The source is mostly cattle. Which doesn't make up for Ukrainian grain.
I feel like this is a question of what you're willing to be a slave to and realistic expectations as to how truly "wealthy" people have second homes.

For example, my parents love Cape Cod - they've vacationed there for nearly 20 years every summer for 20 years, renting each time for a few weeks. Until recently, the economics never made sense to buy - only last year did rental prices exceed basically what they could afford. Generally, I'd say rent.

That said, I also have family who own multiple beach houses in CA. Even though they're worth millions, they still rent out their beach houses when they're not using them on high-end rental sites. They've used VRBO but generally use higher end services. The key here is that even rich people view a second home as a loss-leading asset and try to have it generate income in the off season, on the east coast this is basically a lost cause if the home is in a vacation town that's dead in the winter.

With only $100k I'd say keep your money and keep renting, you keep all the upside and pay a small premium. If you really want to own something you'll just need more money.

The change is the gradual accumulation of statistics. These are relatively rare events. The LHC has been running, high-energy proton-proton collisions have been occurring, and the LHCb detector in this case has been measuring them. The statistics increase, and eventually the characteristic peaks of short-lived resonances can be identified above the noise of "background" collisions.

I think the goal of this work is to understand the nature of the strong force. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is pretty difficult as far as quantum field theories go, its strongly-coupled, meaning making first-principles predictions of what to expect is really tough. Its a huge computational effort being run on some of the biggest computers on the planet (lattice QCD).

We observe that all the hadrons in experiment are "colour singlets" meaning that the colour charge of QCD is hidden. These are usually three-quark states (protons, neutrons, etc) or quark-antiquark states (pions, kaons, etc). There are many other ways of making "colour singlets". For example, these tetra and pentaquark combinations. There are also "hybrids" made of a gluon and some combination of quarks. There is some evidence on both experimental and theoretical sides for at least a few of these hybrids. Glueballs are also possible, states made entirely of gluons, but there is only really theoretical evidence for these so far in specific limits. We just don't know if they exist in reality.

Everything is made of this stuff. Most of the mass around us comes from the strong interactions. It's important to understand it.

Fedex is not in the business of making their own cars, they're not going to be in the business of fairly complex cloud ops either.

This is permanent secular shift.

The advantages of the cloud are just starting to be realized.

That said, for some kinds of operations, they may want a lower cost cloud provider with a more basic stack.

Secondary operators of the world need to get together and start offering a standard stack for basic things so that people can wean off of Azure and AWS.
It does not portray self respect. It says that if you feel hurt by words you are in the wrong. The phrase makes it harder to actually truthfully talk about whatever is going on.
Nice presentation.

None of what was said is specific to CUDA. It’s the same thing in DirectCompute HLSL. Only the terminology is different: CUDA thread blocks are called thread groups in DirectCompute, warps are called waves, shared memory is called “group shared”, etc.

Probably applies to others too (Vulkan, Metal, etc.) albeit I never used these for HPC-like stuff, not 100% sure.
But people in those countries, where Netherlands has traditionally exported food, might suffer food shortages?
LHCb != LHC

LHCb refers to the specific detector and group responsible for measurements related to b-quark.
There are plenty of shows that had no idea how to get out of what they started (looking at you, Battlestar Galactica). However, no show will ever fail to end more spectacularly than Lost.
parent edited their comment which originally was just the first paragraph about centralised control, I suppose that's what you are replying to.

Obviously it is hard to quantify control so I don't have hard numbers to present, but I ask you: can you name a more efficient surveillance device than a smartphone?

Note that smartphones became ubiquitous very recently, I would say during the last 10 to 15 years (before that, they did exist but were used by a tiny minority of people).
Is this a biased audience given that it's HN?

In any case, my personal answer is definitely technical but with caveats that I won't repeat as others have made solid arguments and the additional caveat that I would prefer a technical vs. non-technical lead any day.

This is partly based on experience and partly based on my personal feelings. I feel more inspired by leaders who have been in the trenches before. Also, in my personal experience (emphasis on personal) I've noticed that non-technical leaders tend to have a chip on their shoulder about technical issues which leads them to either 1) devalue (often publicly through statements) technical ability or 2) take any criticism or negative feedback personally (in some cases, HR have gotten involved as there were accusations of *-ism).
> These managers see the larger trends, rising energy costs, maintenance costs rising, hiring difficult, and retention of existing engineers impossible.

But how will the cloud providers avoid these trends? They won't. They will have to do the same thing as anyone else: pay more. And therefore charge more. There are economies of scale, but those savings are logarithmic and a company like FedEx is already pretty far out on the X axis.
These protests are against attempts to slash greenhouse gas emissions in general; CO2 and many other greenhouse gasses are entirely irrelevant here. I don't trust this source if they can't even get that detail right. The problem is with nitrogen containing compounds specifically near nature preserves.

This is part of an ongoing conflict between farmers and the government that's been going on for years now. It started five years ago when the government got told that part of their nature preservation law was illegal and the government was the forced to act. Everything from construction to industry is hit by the restrictions the government ignored for years.

Pollution within the country mostly comes from farmers (up to two thirds of the total, even higher specifically in nature reserves) and therefore most measures are aimed at reducing farm pollution.

This new wave of protests is particularly bad as politicians are now threatened in their homes.

Where's the trouble in dispatching a message for all devices connected to a given Apple ID, those devices checking whether the timer is in the past (and silently discarding it in that case), and setting a local timer to the desired target time?

As a sibling commenter said, this isn't about millisecond precision, but making sure the timer telling me to take the cake out of the oven I set on the tablet in the kitchen will ring on my phone.
This is the degree of protesting I'd like to see in the US about anything.
They're not specifically screwing over Linux users. Teams just outright sucks. The Windows client is buggy and slow. I think they don't care to actually put development effort into Teams at all because it's not a product that sells people on their ecosystem other than satisfying their desire to not pay even more to another company just to get a chat application.
Absolutely agreed!

The thing I care about that a tiling window manager brings me is a way to automatically organize your windows in a minimal looking environment. The way I set up GNOME I am able to achieve that.
Yeah but you're changing the subject. Obviously if the business is garbage it is garbage. I'm not saying these businesses are good. I'm just saying you absolutely cannot make a blanket statement like "valued at 72x rev is bullshit" if my business is growing even 2-3x a year, it could be ok. In a few years (6-7) if I keep that up my revenue will outpace even my original valuation.

It means nothing to look at revenue and valuation alone.
There's lots of non-standard emojis used by various messaging apps.
It's such a shame that quite a few farmers in the Netherlands have been weaponized by Big Ag. Especially the BoerenBurgerBeweging (farmer party) is straight up lobby money (1).

Watching the media around farmer protest in the Netherlands I also see a lot of right wing populist talking points.

I highly recommend it for everyone.
We really need to see more folks getting interested in food system innovation. This is just one of many outcomes we are seeing as a result of our current system which is highly unsustainable.

There are so many entry points for our brightest minds to reinvent the value chain of food. Inputs, plant breeding, machinery, precision ag, logistics, processing, and marketing. Agriculture is also one of the least digitized industries.

We also need to consider an entire paradigm shift when it comes to food. Does a sustainable food system provide the same variety of food we currently see? Does a sustainable system cost the same as our current one? I don't know, but we should be ready those potential changes.

I'm personally excited to see the intersection of personalized health and food systems. Technologies which reduce food waste, non-communicable disease, and improved bodily and societal health.
Sawfish was my favorite all-time wm, but it doesn't work well now. :-(
Yes! Not just automation, but efficiency.

This is a crucial point missing in the debates about redistribution of wealth. Redistributing money will only change prices to match the new levels. It doesn’t actually change anyones living standards.

The only way to make our living standards rise is increasing efficiency - doing more with less materials, less time or less people. One path to that is automation. Another is simply focusing on efficiency. There is a ton of room here with how grossly inefficient most organizations and institutions are. For example when a company hires 5x the people it needs, dealing with projects that will be cancelled or work that is ultimately thrown away.
Traditionally exported, or still today?

I love the animated GIF you included in the readme that shows two sessions at once. It made it perfectly clear in moments what it does, and how easy it is to use.
> Everyone uses it the way it was intended.

"Everyone" uses GitHub as a single source of truth, but I believe that git itself was not designed with this in mind. GitHub users use git as centralised version control with "local commits, rebases or whatever".

> Any time you create a branch locally, without needing to contact the central server you are using distributed vcs. Same when you do local commits, or rebases or whatever.

I think that it is possible to add local branches and commits to centralised version control. Will it make it decentralised? I don't think so.

> From the point of view of someone stuck on subversion, all of that is freaking magic. This is what I mean about "radical departure". By analogy, there's people who think of horses as slower cars and say things like "why can't we just start using horses again" without ever considering the horse issues that are no longer relevant like: having to feed them every day, having to not ride them too long without resting the horse, what do to with all the poop, and so on because cars don't even have analogous impediments.

It's not a topic of "horses vs cars" you know. Not even close. This analogy is a plain trolling IMO.
But again, so it’ll just be grown elsewhere with the same or more emissions?
This would be a much bigger conversation, the SQLite efforts are very cool.

Short answer to your question is that the API load should be fine (I regularly download large subsets of the database myself via the API for research purposes), although there are good and bad ways of writing API queries. We have some tutorials, workshops, etc. available to help newcomers to our API write good queries.

We also have an email address set up (heavy.api.use@materialsproject.org) where people can give us a heads up if they are concerned about putting an undue load on our servers; as much as we try to have reasonable automatic limits set, sometimes we have had issues! API traffic continues to grow too, which in some ways is a nice problem to have, but does mean this is a moving target.
Yes we also use for https://github.com/airbus-cert/dirtypipe-ebpf_detection which is a dirtypipe detection program!
I detest the App Store ads. They can't even be making that much money, but they completely undermine the reliability of the App Store.
That's not quite where I would draw the line, I don't think. I used to work for an ISP and we were kind of split between AWS and on-prem. Obviously, things like terminating our customers' fiber feeds had to be on-prem, so there was no way to not have a data center (fortunately in the same building as our office). Moving our website to some server in there wouldn't have been much of a stretch to me, at the end of the day, it's just a backend for cloudflare anyway.

Like most startups, our management of the data center was pretty scrappy. Our CEO liked that kind of stuff, and we had a couple of network engineers that could be on call to fix overnight issues. It definitely wasn't a burden at the 50 employees size of company (and that includes field techs that actually installed fiber, dragged cable under the street, etc.)

We actually had some Linux servers in the datacenter. I don't know why, to be completely honest.

So overall my thought is that maybe use the cloud for your 1 person startup, but sometimes you need a datacenter only and it's not really rocket science. You're going to have downtime while someone drives to the datacenter. You're going to have downtime when us-east-1 explodes, too. To me, it's a wash.
You cannot simply reenact the same policies in a different organization and not get the same problems. Politically, you have to start over on many established political policies. While there would be an opportunity to split the org chart, then introduce new shortcuts and workarounds to the previous implementation, you just restart the same divisive issues with new contexts.

This approach makes no sense to start on. You want an overhaul of FDA policies, then advocate for that unless you have some plan other than throw everything away and let someone else deal with the practicalities.
One thing that the article doesn't appear to discuss is how small issues can escalate quickly if they keep happening over and over. That is, I think a lot of severe criticism happens because communication over the minor issues was never resolved in the first place.
I never really understood this. Unsure of the US, but holiday lets are notorious for being poor investments in Europe (just look at the markets in Greece and Spain). $100k buys you quite a lot of long-term lets (rentals) over the next 20 years. Why not just rent a place without the hassle of maintenance, taxes, stress, and hand back the property after a few weeks? Also your priorities and interests might change, so some flexibility on renting different places at different points (with children that grow up and also have different interests) might be appealing.
We can only hope it this will drive some general improvements in privacy protection/data collection. However, I think it's far more likely that we get some hyper-specific protections tailored to avoid a general improvement (e.g. like we have for video tape rental information).
Ok, thanks so it's a Pico.css issue , I'll try to reproduce and open an issue overt there.
in as much this bring native firefox i.e gecko engines to iOS
it will also mean innovative native apps not just on iOS since you won't be restricted to native apps that use apple technology ie Swift, UIKit etc
you could totally write an app that renders using a game engine in Rust whatever and as long it compiles for the platform you're good to go.
One thing though, hopefully sandboxing is maintained

A Brief Tour of Julia for High Performance Computing
When the author says it “has no dependencies” they are referring to build time dependencies (i.e. development headers) and runtime library dependencies (dynamic libraries that will be linked and used at runtime).

In this case the function of the program is to hook a library function in `libpam` using eBPF so it has libpam as a “dependency” in roughly the same way that a program which converts wav to mp3 depends on “the input wav file”.

Given that this is a somewhat unusual way to depend on a `.so` file it’s reasonable for there to be some ambiguity in the language here.
I'd go a little further and say that tech has exacerbated the failings of the USA.
Yes, its almost as if the actions of the last few years were planned to cause a massive catastrophic societal collapse that will have us begging for smart cities, green passes and all the other technocratic essentials that have been long in the planning. Technocrats are lucky, I guess.

Some people grew-up in happy families and so have happy family memories. As kids, they enjoyed spending time with their parents and as adults they envision enjoying time with their kids and so they conceive them.

People are social animals and that's the reason we spend time in Hacker News. No person no matter how introverted enjoys being alone all of the time; some people get their most enjoyable social interaction with their own family.
How does a car compare to a cow?
They must reduce their emissions. So they can cut down on certain food for the cattle or have less animals. Anyway no farm is closed yet and they can always start a lawsuit. There also are a lot of farmers that don't have any offspring or people to take over, so they can be bought out.
The farmers seem to be fighting a very losing battle on this one. A few weeks ago, about 40% of the population was supportive of their plight. In just the last few days we've seen:

- Farmers blocking highways, not even letting ambulances through (!).

- Farmers threatening the family of cabinet ministers.

- Blockades of food distribution centers.

- Rioters attacking police vans with sledgehammers.

This kind of thing has been degrading popular support pretty fast. Politicians calling it a "civil war" are just playing to the audience though. Actual farmers make up a less than a single percent of the population (~53k according to the central statistics agency) and the general desire of the population to get on with other things like building houses is likely to prevail IMO.
