Thanks for the compliment but I left the Rust Project back in January.
Even if you’re right about the efficiency, keep in mind that for long term grid storage it’s more about how cheaply can “enough storage” be built and maintained.

Efficiency would just be one variable in that calculation.
Yeah, there was a discussion of emergence in Gödel, Escher, Bach[0] published 1979.

"Aunt Hillary" was the super-organism created from the actions of the indivdual ants, IIRC.

Just because it's a monorepo it doesn't mean it's centralized?
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Mono-repo is entirely a different concept then centralized (eg: SVN) vs distributed (eg: git).

I'd also seriously question an org not using git, specifically, despite claiming "cargo cult". Literally every developer knows it, it's got a huge choice of tooling, and every service/tool (CI/CD, issue tracker, etc) has an integration. IMHO, you better have a damn good reason to be on something else to justify the headaches involved of being not git.
You can track progress for planetiler producing pmtiles output here: https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/issues/98.

Another bonus of writing pmtiles directly is that it will cut the time to generate vector tiles for the planet from ~40 to ~30 minutes on a 64-core ec2 instance since pmtiles format is much simpler and more efficient to write than SQLite. It should also cut the output file size a bit from the 80gb that mbtiles uses.
You could piggyback off MS Edge in the sandbox to open the PDF. Provided you don't need any advanced features, and just want to read it.

But yes that is a great idea.
Com-tiles[1] also looks pretty good, a bit more optimized than pmtiles.

The whole cloud optimized vector tile/data space is next after COGs (cloud optimized geotiffs). Point-clouds are also getting the index-range-request treatment as COPC[2].

Gives higher ups peace of mind. Same reason they love to move everything to the cloud and happily ignore any privacy concerns.

If you run something in-house and there is a security breach, it gets really uncomfortable, as you need to ask questions, assign blame, draw consequences. If $BIG_SAAS_PROVIDER gets their entire database leaked then well, it's not your fault, also if even $BIGCORP gets hacked it must have been really professional hackers and it can hardly be you made a bad call here. Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.
Sounds like learning a new (human) language vs. learning a new math concept.

Every attempt I've made into learning a new language has been a failure. I've resigned myself that only through immersion will I ever learn a new language. I suppose there is no equivalent in the medical field. :-)
> Because she did not choose to be there.

Isn't that true of most other reasons that people go to hospitals too? Why should this one in particular be free?

> If a bully breaks your kid's arm, should their family pay the doctor bills?

Isn't the way this works that you'd have to pay the bill initially, and then later be able to go after them for compensation?

> If your date takes you to a restaurant you don't want to go to, should you have to pay the bill?

Can't you just decline to go to that particular restaurant?

> And if the baby is not adopted?

Then the baby would end up in the foster care system. Not a good outcome, but a way less bad one than being killed.

An actual sensible legal regime could be a bit like the CDA safe harbor, or at least more like what CDA safe harbor should be. If an intermediary like Shopify provides services to its clients, does not help users choose which of its clients to work with, declines to exercise discretion as to which clients to work with, and cooperates with court orders, then it should be immune to claims that it chose the wrong clients.

Many modern UI "designers" are certainly not worth of that name, in that they change things not according to systematic study and observation, but only due to their own hunches and personal preferences.
Read this as “Do you use git?” This is opposed to svn, cvs, something home-grown, or passing thumb drives back and forth among developers.

Stewart would be a good candidate especially when compared to other democratic offerings.

That doesn't make him well suited to be president though. He supports policies and positions that differ little form those leading us to our current predicament.
If it's criticism like mine, it's more to the tune of "You never showed up". I don't remember seeing a single campaign or rally; instead Beto was looked at to lead Texas and nothing else. The message was pretty clear locally, the Democratic party wasn't coming.

There were already image problems in Texas. When George Bush took office, many liberal publications took to the tactic of repeatedly airing his stuttering in speeches. It led to this perception that people thought he was stupid, and many conservatives started pushing their audiences to AM radio - which was the first step in sewing distrust in "mainstream media".

This is all from my recollection, a good bit of it as a child, and I've never seen anyone acknowledge how these events are linked. I'm sure economics, healthcare, education, etc are also all tied up in this mix of this too.
Did you actually try it or is this just a theory "that should work"?
"There are already restrictions on speech..."

There are particular categories of speech that aren't considered to be "protected speech". And those categories can't be expanded just because some politicians and judges think it's a good idea.

"that same reasoning is what allows gun control."

A lot of what we consider "gun control" is under active constitutional debate.

Why go to all this trouble? I agree with the general idea that we shouldn't glorify mass shooters. But all we have to do is stop clicking and start to develop a cultural idea that it's wrong to report is a way that makes killers (in)famous. Mainstream outlets will stop doing it and the fringe is not very important.
We've got a cost of living crisis and he's just resigned. Anyway, his jokes weren't funny
excellent article, surprisingly nuanced and - I think - fair in its analysis.

The main fear is not that it is a foreign owned app - after all, most people in the countries all over the world are using foreign owned (US) apps - it is because it is the first non-US app used by US citizens which unnerves both the US government and US commentariat.

Whether those fears are justified or not, I suspect US will follow the China's vision of the internet, prioritise national security concerns over freedom of choice, and ultimately ban TikTok

> As the worlds richest man, dividing up your liability like that into many LLC's would seem like a very important thing to do

Unfortunately for Musk, when an LLC is used as a proxy for the single member without real separation, the LL part stops working as anything but (on a matter this size) a small additional speedbump rather than a shield, at the same time, it's even nominal separation makes it harder to make deals than if your hoards of assets were behind them.
> Now we finally understood Hacker News and its purpose.

Rather bold of you to claim. Certainly subliminal product placement, aka the "submarine article,"[0] is not why I visit Hacker News. Many people write and post here to satisfy their own intellectual curiosity, and not to stake a market claim at all.

While I appreciate that you (plural) are some kind of marketing department, and cannot (collectively) perceive phenomena which aren't involved in brand warfare, it's still very eerie to hear myself (as a self-entitled denizen of this forum) described as a deliberate target of your branding, especially in the first-person plural.

I found the title nearly incomprehensible, so here's a brief pull quote:

> Using Google Scholar (or any other knowledge graph) I can find just about any academic paper. More importantly, it lets me see every paper which references that paper.

> Great! I can see if something has been cited lots of times, or very few times. That gives me a weak signal about its "importance".

> But it tells me nothing about the sentiment of those citations.

> Suppose I've just read (Smith, 2015) and I want to know whether the consensus is that the paper is a work of genius or absolute horseshit. What are my options?
Iran announces completion of transport of Russian goods to India through INSTC
A little known fact is that we likely already crossed 1.5C.

Latest IPCC reports a likely cool down due to aerosols of 0.4C. But aerosols are a serious health issue (responsable of several millions premature deaths). And most of aerosols come from incomplete fossil fuels (hopefully we'll get ride of them), whereas their lifespan is less than a few years. So their cool down effect is only temporary.

Also, it's quite unknown that Europe has already at +2C. Far from Equatorial + being in a continent are factors for warming faster.
This proves quite the opposite once you have a bit of context. This was the strategy of the DNC, they thought Trump would be easier to beat so they promoted his campaign.

> How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy

> In its self-described "pied piper" strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new "mainstream of the Republican Party" in order to try to increase Clinton's chances of winning.

> "We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously," the Clinton campaign concluded. [0]

I wish everyone could wrap their mind around one thing.

*THE SYSTEM WORKS AS INTENDED*

Anytime someone suggests a good idea like this or says "we should" you need to go back to the root of the problem. The system is designed to give all the breaks and funnel all $ to the top. That is the way corporations want it and they own the politicians.

This isn't government incompetence or some idea that you came up with. This idea will not be implemented because it would benefit the 99.5% to the detriment of the 0.5%
> making you a jack of all trades and a master of none

This is exactly the point of any introductory college level course. They're never intended to be the end of your education, they're designed to be a broad introduction to most of the different concepts that you will be learning throughout the program.

Even if you're not taking the rest of the program, having a broad overview as a starting point is valuable. You won't "master" anything in 3 months no matter what you do, so starting by going deep just needlessly limits your perspective on how much there is to learn.
But is there any reason to think they released foreign ladybugs? Importing live insects isn't that easy because they could cause problems, much easier to just get domestic ones. Domestic ladybugs exists everywhere.
A pencil is a simplisic writing device whereas a computer and its software is significantly more complex. Not to mention it communicates with external devices like mice, keyboard, wifi, website, and email

Mandated software, like security products, don't exist on a pencil because it can steal all your financial data from an external connection.

IT has policies because of past failures and regulations. They are also bogged down because a ticket can take anywhere from 5 mins to many days and it's impossible to accurately predict what frequency of each type of problem will occur from the known set or how long it each will take. Companies hire a decent amount but they also can't over staff a dept just so everyone gets their issues fixed instantly.

Users can't fix their computer most of the time because they don't know how. A pencil either needs to be sharpened, needs to be replaced, or is working. Everyone can be taught how to do those three things in a short amount of time.

One office object that's not a computer and would be a better comparison is the copy machine. It's a troupe about how often they broke.
Baseless as Prof. Gutmann's never said that 35 (thirtyfive) passes were needed, yet all implementations used those 35 passes, if you prefer the theory is (was) sound, the implementations with 35 passes are (and were and will be) baseless.

What he did was to list 35 possible patterns, each suitable for a given technology (and many of those technologies were already obsolete in 1996 or a couple years after).

In addition/updates to the 1996 paper he himself stated clearly how the article (which to be fair was more than a bit ambiguous) has been largely misread:

https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html

>In the time since this paper was published, some people have treated the 35-pass overwrite technique described in it more as a kind of voodoo incantation to banish evil spirits than the result of a technical analysis of drive encoding techniques. As a result, they advocate applying the voodoo to PRML and EPRML drives even though it will have no more effect than a simple scrubbing with random data. In fact performing the full 35-pass overwrite is pointless for any drive since it targets a blend of scenarios involving all types of (normally-used) encoding technology, which covers everything back to 30+-year-old MFM methods (if you don't understand that statement, re-read the paper). If you're using a drive which uses encoding technology X, you only need to perform the passes specific to X, and you never need to perform all 35 passes. For any modern PRML/EPRML drive, a few passes of random scrubbing is the best you can do. As the paper says, "A good scrubbing with random data will do about as well as can be expected". This was true in 1996, and is still true now.
Looking at this from the other point of view, with the ever-increasing data density on disk platters and a corresponding reduction in feature size and use of exotic techniques to record data on the medium, it's unlikely that anything can be recovered from any recent drive except perhaps a single level via basic error-cancelling techniques. In particular the drives in use at the time that this paper was originally written are long since extinct, so the methods that applied specifically to the older, lower-density technology don't apply any more. Conversely, with modern high-density drives, even if you've got 10KB of sensitive data on a drive and can't erase it with 100% certainty, the chances of an adversary being able to find the erased traces of that 10KB in 200GB of other erased traces are close to zero.

Moreover there is no need whatsoever for "few" random passes, one single pass of 0's is the current NIST standard and anything more is "optional" (please read as unneeded).

Anyone who knows even a little history will realize that the aftermath of an assassination of a public figure results in an immediate increase in the popularity of the affiliated political party (the 'martyr effect'). The claims that the assassination of JFK in the United States in 1963 changed official US government policy are nonsense, incidentally - JFK was an ardent Cold Warrior who would have followed the same policy Johnson did, if faced with the imminent collapse of the South Vietnamese government. If anything the assassination strengthened the Democratic Party's political position at the time, and the same kind of effect seems to be taking place in Japan, with Abe's party expected to win a major victory.

The story of an individual with personal grievances (possibly acting alone, possibly not) related to a parent who went bankrupt by donating all their money to a religious organization affilated with the victim makes much more sense in terms of a plausible motivation. The other part of the puzzle is why security for such a well-known public figure was so poor, but Japan's history of low gun violence might explain that.
Maybe, or maybe it’s just becoming obvious Japan’s “democracy” isn’t functioning at the level we’d all hope for that scares us all a little bit?

The New Yorker is in lockstep with their owner ideologues, Advance Publications. If you look at the media assets they own, they push the same types of ideas and messages in each, but catered to different audiences.

It's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with Shopify dev, especially since many merchants are non-technical and there are an unlimited number of very cheap Shopify "dev" shops that will paste anything you want into your theme with no regard for bloat.

Many people running brands, either professional digital marketers or small business owners, have absolutely no concept of page weight. I continually fight battles about this with the various ecomm brands my employer owns, and yet when a marketer updates the home page content somehow we still wind up with 20 MB above-the-fold autoplay movie files.

Reverting large squash commits or merge commits after other commits have been applied to the main/master branch will likely result in conflicts.

On the other hand, limiting commits to do a single thing and having several per merged branch allows one to revert a problematic commit without conflicts or isolate a bug using git bisect.

Other than algos, we got none of this.

From the top of my head also things like operating systems, compilers, networking, vectorization (SIMD), instruction pipelining, branch prediction, threading, NUMA, thread-pinning/affinity that help understanding how my code is actually executed.

We got compilers. Otherwise none of this - in fact these are not computer science by some definitions. It was pretty much maths at the end. I don't think we were well served in some ways.

We have agree to disagree, the purpose of minority rule via voting rights/congressional apportionment was to protect the rights of property owners at the time, i.e. slave owners and land owners.

None of the nice thoughts that are in the Declaration of Independence was meant to apply to people not recognized as fully human beings (women/non-white males), if we go by the originalist mindset prevalent in the legal world now. We can't have it both ways, interpreting the Declaration of Independence in the broadest possible modern sense, then interpreting the Constitution in the meaning of the writers and state of the nation in 1789 when it was ratified.

I'd highly recommend looking at the edX course "How to Code: Simple Data" and "How to Code: Complex Data" as an introduction to computer science. Those two classes were created around a solid pedagogy of how students learn to break real world problems down into code. Dr. Kiczales is incredibly good at taking everything step by step and making sure nothing gets left out or missed.

I am a 60 year old lifelong cyclist, ectomorphic build. I have fasted for 24 hours (dinner time to next day's dinnertime) once weekly for about 5 years now. When fasting, I incorporate moderate exercise throughout the day, usually periodic sets of pushups and pullups, sometimes a 30 or 45 minute ride.
I can report I have no problem maintaining muscle or body mass with this regimen.
Further I can recall a few minor hangry episodes while fasting, early on. But like fasting itself, it became progressively easier for me to fast over time.
