The only reason I see this relevant to HN is because lots of tech companies have been opening Montreal offices over the past 20 years. We have 4 universities and most educated people are bilingual in spite of the officialdom.

However the drumbeats of separatism are banging again [1], so might be relevant considering what happened to the Montreal economy the last times these idiots were allowed to lead by their inferiority complex.

Background: Native Montrealer, proud Canadian-Italian whose ancestors built the city, and have watched it decay over the past 40 years due to paternalistic and policies and a system of government that prioritizes the opinions of the "Les régions" over Montreal (it's like if voters in the Georgia countryside fully dictated how Atlanta operates)

What Quebec nationalism has resulted in:

-Literal language police (see: pastagate [2] - this stupidity had been doubled down on)

-Codification of racism and suppression that also increases the burden on businesses (see: Bill 21 and Bill 96) [3,4]

-Blatant disregard for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the "notwithstanding clause") [5]

-Montreal was the most diverse, vibrant city in Canada, truly a global capital - this movement handed that directly to Toronto

-Montreal was the financial and tech capital of Canada - this movement handed that directly to Toronto

Nah it gets the train.
The situation where 1000 get from the distributor at "retail" price is essentially a lottery. It is great if you "won" a ticket and get the item at the retail price (which is less than the market demand would have it at), but not so great otherwise.

Scalpers increase efficiency because those who desire an item the most are willing to pay the most money for it. Therefore with a "scalper" operating it ensures that the items end up in the hands of those who value it the most. It also means there's no "lottery" - the price is increased until only those who value it and have the means can buy it. As we're talking about steam decks, and not food, there's not even any ultimate issue of hoarding or people being denied basic sustenance because they don't have enough money.
This might be the height of the EU energy idiocy. The worst part is there will be many people cheering it because they don't understand anything about it.

Many would argue that looking for engineering applications in mathematics is not why mathematicians do mathematics. That mathematics does sometimes have engineering applications is a mysterious and beautiful side effect. It isn't the motivation behind doing mathematics.
Yeah, the software is quite pricy for something you aren't gonna regularily use. Altough, 40 bucks for a claimed 100% productivity boost could quite quickly make it up in gained time.

that is, if the claim holds.

> free and fair elections, are being turned down this year

What changed this year? The most commone argument for the election not being free and fair here is "electoral college vs popular vote". Some have even backed up the very point by showing that this situation has been persistent for the last 20 years, so ... what changed this year? Did they add electoral college votes to red states or something?

Free and fair elections - personally I think of elections not being free and fair someone standing next to you as you vote saying vote for vlad or we will kill your whole familiy or votes being thrown in the bin. As far as I am aware none of that is happening.

Its pretty bad faith to say Republicans claiming electoral fraud is the Big Lie but when Dems say its Not a Free and Fair Election that it is an irrefutable evidence and vice versa. Simultaneously holding the belief that the elctions are Not Free and Fair while claiming that they are indeed Free and Fair depending upon which party is claiming it is rank hypocracy at best.
Legally perhaps, but morally, I've never gotten why so many people think that the physical act of pulling or not pulling makes so much difference.

It's a binary decision with two outcomes, in my personal view it is irrelevant which of the outcomes is caused by physical action and which by inaction (at least, supposing that you have enough time to think about what to do - obviously, if you have to react in a split second, it's understandable to be biased towards inaction because you may need more time to make the right decision, but that's not the point of these problems in the way they are posed).

If you have enough time to think what to do, inaction is a conscious choice and if it does more harm than good, you are guilty of not choosing action.
If I had to guess a percentage: 95% of people never explore settings.

(Annecdata: When Windows started combining labels in the taskbar, everytime I asked someone if they liked that, or they prefered seperate labels, they said seperate labels, and then I asked them if I could quickly change it back for them, and they always let me. It was an easy-to-find setting, but no one ever bothered.)
Baserow looks really good! Thanks for making it!
And you are trying to argue claims that I never made, such as:

> get 11% returns from AMMs with the same risk profile as a savings account

Where did I say that risk of being an LP is the same as putting the money on a savings account? I didn't.

You are making all this exposition and trying to lecture me based on an assumption that I never made and that I know to be false. IOW, this is at best a strawman and at worst it's disingenuous. In either case it's fucking annoying.

Read again. All I said was that even today being an LP in a stabletoken is beating a savings account.

- Did I say it was without risks? No.

- Would I say that this is relatively low risk, compared with other "investments" in crypto? Yes.

- Compared with money in a bank? No.

- Do I think it is worth it? As part of your strategies, yes.

- Would I tell people to take money from their savings and do this? No, of course not.

- Why not? Because not only it has risks, but also because if more people did it the (and if the transaction volume at the exchanges stayed the same) the ROI would go down.

- Is that the same as "arbitrage"? Not exactly. Liquidity providers make money even if all they are doing is to buy and sell tokens that keep a peg to the USD. The issue here is that flooding the pool with more cash is diluting the profitability.

- Could some whale come, put a bunch of liquidity in a pool and keep it only while the profitability is higher than the savings account? Shouldn't that count as a "arbitrage opportunity"? No, because there are costs to on-and-off ramp, there are risks associated with crypto and if you want to do that kind of arb, you'd be better off my looking into crypto money markets - which also have its own risk/reward profile.

What else do you need to be spelled out so that you can stop with the stupid strawmen?

I like Ubuntu, but in the last few months I have been following how things are packaged more closely.

For example, looking at the package for postgresql-14, an update still hasn't been released for the unscheduled mid-June release version 14.4, which fixed possible index corruption.

http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/p/postgres...

I would have thought this would have been packaged earlier, as I would expect the Ubuntu + postgresql would be a common combination.

It makes me wonder exactly how much of a resource is behind creating Ubuntu distributions.

I guess because there's more wiggle-room with a non-action. If you don't pull a lever, you could argue there wasn't time to pull the lever, or that you were frozen with fear or whatever.

I think non-actions are judged less harshly than actions, so people are more inhibited in making them..

That's fair, I don't know how to fight fires. But it sounds like a lot of these newer houses in the article are not the normal spread-out rural type spacing but much more like suburb size lots. The article says: “Not only are they building as dense as they can build, they’re scraping everything to the ground,”

If they really are building on multi-acre lots then you're probably right. But if it's more like a suburban style where houses are on 0.25 acre lots and there's only maybe 15-20 feet between houses then I feel my concerns are legit.
At the time of the referendum, at least, I recall that Quebec was a net recipient of federal funds, i.e. was not economically self-sufficient. I always assumed that played a role in the way the vote went: people expecting the Quebec economy to nosedive on independence.

What's the situation now?
Sure. I bundle a small rectangle of neighbouring locations like 5x5 (= 25 locations). The actual weather model may have a grid like 2878x1441 cells (4 million).

Inside the 5x5 chunk, I subtract all grid-cells from the center grid-cell. The borders will then contain only the difference to the center grid-cell.

Because the values of neighbouring grid-cells are similar, the resulting deltas are very small and better compressible.
I don't know anyone on OnlyFans, but I know a few women who do "Just Chatting" Twitch streams and the psychological toll on them is huge. Having to give people constant attention, answer every question or at least acknowledge it, and provide a sort of faux-friendship in exchange for money is a really strange arrangement. Just yesterday a long-term supporter of one woman I know "confessed their love" to her, and will probably unsubscribe because she won't reciprocate.

Another interesting but sad fact is that a lot of those streamers have significant others, but they hide it from the audience because they believe they'll get more engagement.

Sure the same thing might happen in regular businesses, but the interactions are either shorter (eg cashier) or at least it's acknowledged as being entirely professional.

Either we have a breakthrough that shakes physics and that leads to brand new discoveries that further shake engineering, or it is a waste of time. Between ~1870 and ~1950 we had a fireworks of discoveries that wee shaking our view of the world. And explained transistors.

Today? Nothing special except for a bunch of people and PhD students.

We are just starting to scratch the surface of biology - this is where we need to invest. Solid state physics could be another one. But not particle physics with their crazy energies that are completely unreachable outside of an accelerator.

For context, I have a PhD done in CERN. If I were to choose again, I would bo for bioinformatics or biophysics.
We lost a lot of historical records between late antiquity and the early middle ages. Most devastating for Italy was probably the Gothic War.

Then the records that were in Constantinople were also lost, not only by the fall of Constantinople itself but also by the sacking of it by Christian crusaders.

Lots of records that could have shown such a descent are lost.

Now Confucius was an important historical figure.

It's not surprising that he is one of the few cases where an uninterrupted descent could be true. If Jesus or Caesar had a family line run into modern times or if the Papacy was hereditary, we might have such a line for Western civilization as well.

I am obviously biased as one of the maintainers, but this is exactly the kind of thing we built Meadowrun for!

See https://meadowrun.io

It takes your local code and environment (we support pip, poetry and conda) and runs python code on AWS or Azure (though Azure might have some rough edges still). You can specify what kind of machine you want based on cpu/memory etc, no need to deal with weird instance names. You can get cheap spot instances etc.

Some ui issues aside one can see the great potential of web apps with their ability to be shared and used without installing. I love native apps but for solo developers this is the best alternative.
I'm sure there are multiple next steps possible in parallel, but one is most likely that those apps become accessible in a browser with just a click. That's my approach with Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com )

It's also interesting to look at how those apps have evolved over the last 20 years to get a sense of where we might be in the next 20. For instance, even though Houdini has always be a very open package, it's user base exploded when it explicitly created Houdini engine to integrate with Maya/Unreal/Unity. So integration is a key factor and we can hope to see apps become even more interchangeable.

Marketplaces, like blender's ( https://blendermarket.com/ ) or Houdini's ( https://www.orbolt.com/ ) will also grow, increasing collaboration between artists and developers, just like github increased collaboration. That should be accelerated as teams become more and more remote-only.

Then I'm curious to see when AI will make a dent in 3D creation, just like we have seen for 2D works with midjourney. Maybe there will be a github copilot for 3D?

And maybe in 10-20 years, we'll arrive at a combination of those items, as in an AI powered marketplate that guesses tools the community may need.
Yep! Good example.
As someone who grew up on the Ontario-Quebec border in Northern Ontario, to highlight why this is absurd you just need to realize that roads and healthcare are a provincial thing. Quebec is already responsible for funding those things. Furthermore, Quebec receives equalization payments from the rest of Canada because they run such a deficit. If they cut themselves off, things would only get worse. The two levels of corruption doesn't make sense, Quebec would obviously set up its own provinces.

I also think that the language would suffer because Canada is able to convince all American companies to translate everything because the other 30 million wallets are worth it. I highly suspect you would get the France version if they demanded only French products which, for those that don't know, would be perceived as more of a personal affront than American English being pushed onto the UK. At best, they would continue to get the Canadian version. In which case, what exactly was achieved?

Wait ... you want to be able to pick the permutation? I thought it's about a fixed transposition, but you want to choose? lol

What a complicated mess! 234 ... two blocks of data, containing three lines of data, containing four entries of data.

I'm not sure the example is sufficient for me to understand. I hope I can figure this out for other cases than 1 at the start, which seems to be a bad example for understanding this. if 1 was 2, do I instead, then, pick every second number?

I'm trying to wrap my head around this, starting with wikipedia.

Why don't you use a better data structure? Seems rather wasteful, CPU-wise, not coming up with some more generic structure that makes it easier to permute?

But ... I guess that's not allowed, otherwise you'd not need in-place replacement.

On the other hand, as long as I store everything in-place it shouldn't matter, as long as the result is correct.

But are you sure you need in-place replacement as long as you can get the correct, permutated result? Do you request the same results more than once?

Yes, I keep asking again looking for a way to avoid it. I have to make sure I cover everything and know the desired outcome exactly. Like, if you just care about the result itself, then that's different to having to store it in memory.

Hm. Given that there's some sort of memory limitation ... How much space do I have, in bytes/kbytes, for code? Can I allocate my own memory?
